Does anyone use the XDA Navigation Gestures app on any HTC? In my u11 + does not receive the permissions via adb for nothing always the error when requesting the permissions and gets the 2 bars together.
Works fine for me in portrait mode (won't fully hide the navbar in landscape).

As you have done to give the permissions via adb, because in the mobile phone only failed or the error.
Working perfectly! ++Tutorial
Mine is working perfectly!
Here is what I have done.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Install Navigation Gesture from Play Store
2) Connect phone to PC
3) Grant Accessibility
4) Enable Developer options
5) Enable USB Debugging
6) Open CMD on PC
7) Type in this command line
adb devices (checks if device is connected properly)
8) Type in this command next
adb shell pm grant com.xda.nobar android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
9) Open Navigation Gesures app
10) Enable "Gestures Enabled" and "Hide Navigation Bar"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***NOTE***
Download ADB zip files(Google/Youtube Tutorial).
Create folder on Dekstop name it "ADB" and extract ADB zip files to it.
While on CMD type in
cd Desktop
cd ADB
cd platform-tools
Should look like
C:\Users\.........\Desktop\ADB\platform-tools>
proceed with step 7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please let me know if it worked! @wdupe
Hi guys
I've got it installed and disabled navbar but how do I get back as I can't go back or home?
1-Download and install Nova and Twisted Home Manager from Google Playstore
2-open Twisted Home Manager and select Nova
3-if you power down phone you will have to reselect Nova in Twisted Home Manager
4-works with any third party launcher (Huawei Home Switcher is already on your phone, Twisted Home Manager enables it)
thanks for your guide
also possibly this

1-change phone settings to app drawer, enable third party installations and gesture navigation
2-set up Huawei id (country not important)
3-set up App Gallery ( select country China)
4-install Google Playstore if not already installed
5-download and install from App Gallery Nova and Huawei Home
6-set up Nova with gesture navigation (swipe up for app drawer)
7-download and install from Playstore Nova Prime and Twisted Home Manager
8-update Nova from Playstore
9-open Twisted Home Manager and set Huawei Home as default and select Nova
10-if you power down phone you will have to reselect Nova in Twisted Home Manager

This is was to drawn out.
You best bet is below.
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher
After a factory reset it will return however. This is give you Nova with no problems. Except you might loose the gesture navigation. However you can use Nova for some of that.
I'm going to create a guide and possible a script to remove this and most bloatware.

This doesn't work ! Well .... it does for a bit but always goes back to stock launcher if you try to get the multi tasking window to work. In Nova, no matter what gesture you set up - once you do it to get the multi tasking list up, you select an app and then it reverts back to stock.
Does this happen to you or have you managed to get around this?

Make sure USB is set to MTP and USB Debugging is actually on (it seems to have a life of its own). THANKS!
Was there a need to kill the huawei drive app also?

With Nova can you still program all the gestures inside the Nova settings, do they all work? I am interested in doing this, but read "swipe up for home using gesture navigation doesn't work anymore". I don't use swipe up for home and as long as I can program swipe up still it's all good. If all the programmable gestures work, I would be willing to try your method although in all the years of unlocking phones, flashing ROM's, modems, kernels, ClockworkMod, TWRP, using Odin, etc, I've never used adb even once. And I'm looking forward to your debloating list. I'm afraid of removing too much and losing some features. I only removed the apps that were completely Chinese so far.

adb is easy. Most think its hard, but its really simple. I'm going to try and compile a list tonight and get this updated.
I've got my L29 setup and I have remove a few things. I'm going to try the launcher route tonight, and I an using Evie launcher till I can get to my PC and configure it.
Swipe up will still work on the homescreen. As I use that for the app drawer. I do not think swipe up will work to go back home, like a system based gesture.

While we wait for antiochasylum to develope a much detailed guide this is how I got this done:
1) Install HiSuite (https://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/) to ensure you have the correct drivers (I know this is mostly bloatware, but is either this or risk to install an "alternative" driver)
2) Download and extract ADB (I use platform tools: http://mirrors.zzu.edu.cn/android/repository/platform-tools_r28.0.1-windows.zip)
3) Go to Settings > System > About Phone and tap on "build number" about 8 times. You should see a message saing: "You are a developer now"
4) Back to the previous menu and you should see now a new item called "Developer options", go there, find and enable "USB debugging" (you may have to use a Huawei ID).
5) Now connect the phone to the PC via USB and select "Transfer files" on the phone.
6) Open a command line and go to the directory you extracted "Platform Tools" to.
7) Run the command "adb devices", your device should shown. If not, you need to check the drivers.
8) Run "adb shell"
9) Run "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher". It should show "success".
You are done!
Hope it is usefull.

You dont even need the hisuite drivers really. Just platform tools from google.
Hows Nova working out with the launcher gone? Better?

OMG! So much better! I was getting tired of things randomly making it go back to stock launcher. One app wouldn't let me place a widget, it kept going back to stock when I tried to place it, then I'd have to start Nova again. As soon as I did this, it let me set the widget first try, like it's supposed to. Imagine that. Running much smoother now. Now that the launcher problem is fixed, I just need to get all my notification badges working, and figure out a good way to have some kind of light notification whether it's the little floating icons I seen someone post an app of, or the flashing light. I kinda like the floating icons on the screen idea if it works.

I uninstalled the launcher app in the method described, but now I am having issues using any launcher. In default apps, Launcher, all 3 installed launchers (incl. Nova) are greyed out so I cannot click on one. Any ideas on on to rectify.........No launcher at all.
Hello Everyone,
I have a question.
I just got the Umidigi A3 Pro and during its use I noticed that on every browser, incognito mode is disabled.
I checked Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox etc.
Do you guys know how to fix this, as I was not able to find anywhere an option, tutorial or something else how to re-enable the incognito mode while browsing?
After discussing with Umidigi support here is a possible solution for all of us who don't have the incognito mode option on android browser's
However, here's a possible solution that works:
1. Go to Settings → System → About phone
2. Tap ‘Build number' 7 times, then unlock the screen to enable the Developer options
3. Step back to the System page and go to Developer options
4. Scroll down to USB debugging and enable it
5. Download ADB driver installer
6. Unzip and install the driver.
7. Connect your phone to USB while its screen is unlocked.
8. Select Run from the Windows Start menu (or press Win key + R), then type cmd and press enter
9. Type and enter 'adb devices', then Allow USB debugging on your phone in the pop-up window.
10. Type (or copy and paste) and enter 'adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 org.chromium.example.partnercustomizations'
Hi.
I installed Samsung internet app on my 3pro.
version 8.2.01.
Don't have any problems with going into "secret mode" with this browser.
Android 10 Open Beta 1 - How to get the 2 button navigation bar back?
With Android 10 installed.
1. Set nav bar to 3 button
2. Enable usb debugging
3. Connect to computer and select file transfer.
4. Open command prompt (cmd)
5. Adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton
6. Enter.
If you change your nav bar after enabling the two button it will revert back and you'll have to follow these steps again.
Get rid of that bar and enjoy the full screen experience Gestures all the way!
Hi folks, I have just got my Find X2 Pro today and so far I am loving it, however one feature is missing for me. On my old Mate 20 Pro, I had the google discover feed if I did swipe right....is there anyway to enable this on the Oppo phone. All I currently have is the smart assistant which does work but its not ideal.

Not sure if you figured this out, I was going to do a guide but decided just to post here:
All you need to do to get the discover feed (only tested on ColorOS 11), is to remove the Oppo smart assistant app (what you currently get when swiping left on the home screen).
You need to force the app off with ADB, reboot your phone and as long as you have the Google app installed, you'll have the discover feed!
The ADB command to run is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
If for some reason you want to reinstall, you can do so with this command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.assistantscreen
If you don't know how to get and use ADB, here's a quick guide.....
You can download Platform Tools directly from the Android developer here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
There are loads of more detailed guides on how to use ADB, but basic steps are:
Download the platform tools from the link above and extract to somewhere on your PC, e.g. C:/platform-tools
Open a command prompt on your PC (type cmd in the Windows search bar) and right click on it then run as Administrator
Change the directory to where your 'platform-tools' folder (so something like 'cd C:/platform-tools')
On your phone, USB debugging needs to be enabled, so:
Enable developer options by going to settings > About Phone > Version and clicking on Build number several times
Under Additional Settings > Developer Options, enable 'USB Debugging'
Plug your phone into a USB port on the PC
Make sure your phone is on 'Transfer Files / Android Auto' mode (the default is 'Charge only' mode)
Once set, you should get a popup on your phone to ask to Allow USB debugging, click 'Allow'.
Back in the command prompt, type 'adb devices' and hit return (you should see the serial number of your phone if connected)
Now you can get deleting - run the command mentioned above to remove the smart assistant app.
Note that it doesn't actually delete the app from the phone, it just removes it for the main user, i.e. you.
Done, enjoy!

Works perfectly on my Find X2 Lite (ColorOS 11 too). Thank you so much for the wonderful guide! I just received the April 2021 update (by using a VPN to France). and without adding back Oppo Smart Assistant, it appears to work just fine. Also worth noting that the annoying Smart Assistant did not come back from this update.
So it seems (to me at least) that you don't need to bring back Smart Assistant before every update. But still, I would recommend doing so just anyways, especially when the Android 12 update comes around.

Once set, you should get a popup on your phone to ask to Allow USB debugging, click 'Allow'.
Back in the command prompt, type 'adb devices' and hit return (you should see the serial number of your phone if connected)
Now you can get deleting - run the command mentioned above to remove the smart assistant app.
Note that it doesn't actually delete the app from the phone, it just removes it for the main user, i.e. you.
Done, enjoy!

Hi
Working fine on my Oppo Find X2 Pro ColorOS 11

Not sure if you figured this out, I was going to do a guide but decided just to post here:
All you need to do to get the discover feed (only tested on ColorOS 11), is to remove the Oppo smart assistant app (what you currently get when swiping left on the home screen).
You need to force the app off with ADB, reboot your phone and as long as you have the Google app installed, you'll have the discover feed!
The ADB command to run is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
If for some reason you want to reinstall, you can do so with this command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.assistantscreen
If you don't know how to get and use ADB, here's a quick guide.....
You can download Platform Tools directly from the Android developer here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
There are loads of more detailed guides on how to use ADB, but basic steps are:
Download the platform tools from the link above and extract to somewhere on your PC, e.g. C:/platform-tools
Open a command prompt on your PC (type cmd in the Windows search bar) and right click on it then run as Administrator
Change the directory to where your 'platform-tools' folder (so something like 'cd C:/platform-tools')
On your phone, USB debugging needs to be enabled, so:
Enable developer options by going to settings > About Phone > Version and clicking on Build number several times
Under Additional Settings > Developer Options, enable 'USB Debugging'
Plug your phone into a USB port on the PC
Make sure your phone is on 'Transfer Files / Android Auto' mode (the default is 'Charge only' mode)
Once set, you should get a popup on your phone to ask to Allow USB debugging, click 'Allow'.
Back in the command prompt, type 'adb devices' and hit return (you should see the serial number of your phone if connected)

Can someone advise if this process works on the Oppo Find X2 Pro running Color0S 12.1?

I just tried it and, at least in my case, worked only the first swipe and then it disappeared.
I'm on a Find X2 Pro (ColorOS 12 - CPH2025_11_F.13)
However I found out that it worked by updating the stock laucher. I don't know if I can share here the apk, but you can find it online: com.android.launcher_12.0.50-12050_minAPI30(arm64-v8a,armeabi,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi).apk
With this, after the uninstall od the OPPO Assistant via ABD, you'll have Google feed discover working on ColorOS 12
Anyone got this working for ColorOS 13?
When I run:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
I get a message saying the package can't be found???
