Was searching a little but couldn't find an answer to this. I'm interested in this phone, I was able to play with it a little, but really, the dpi is too high for a 6" screen. Would be interesting to know if/how a 400/420dpi works on this device. Thanks!
I was just going to ask the same thing actually. Last night I started messing with it but it's very weird. For one, there are two DPI lines in build.prop, which you seem to have to change both of to get any kind of change. I have them now at 400 with the view mode set to small, and it's too small. But, the weird thing is, anything over 410 is too big. It doesn't change like a normal phone does. I have a feeling the "view mode" changes shell density instead of DPI and causes some weirdness. I may mess around with some shell density commands later today to get it just right. Anyone know what the stock shell density is?

Can you try Neo Density app? I don't know if it works ok with the Mate8, but I used it on phones where changing the dpi was a little problematic.
Yup. I'm at 320 with the small stock settings too

I did, that just changes the typical ro.sf.lcd_density= value. The best I have found is that if you drop that value to 400, the "small" view mode goes to extra small. But changing the value to anything lower than 400 has no effect (I tried as low as 290) and anything over 410 seems to also have no effect on stock.

I guess it's ok with dpi400, should be much better than the stock. How the stock Huawei apps are scaled?

400 is very very small. I have 20/20 vision and love a lower dpi, but I think its too small to use on a daily basis at a typical viewing distance. Especially in the dark. I went back to stock for now.
Mostly everything scales fine, but there are weird issues as if we had used wm shell density to change the density vs build.prop. Some text/icons are cut off by the item below it in the notification panel, and backgrounds dont scale properly when swiping through home screens. Not a huge deal, but just common issues when using wm shell density, even though I didn't.
I'm on 366 dpi. Let the stock dpi setting at large then change the dpi in build.prop. The stock will change automatically after reboot to medium. For the quick toggles add this lines to build.prop : ro.config.toolbox_port_column=3
ro.config.toolbox_port_row=3
ro.config.toolbox_land_column=4
ro.config.toolbox_land_row=2
Only one issue exists, if dpi is to low the notification drop down will show the recycle bin in the middle of the screen, so it will use the half space. If u have some notification u must scroll them

If u change dpi with the stock changer and then in the build.prop, u get a tiny status bar. Stay on large view and then change dpi in build.prop. Wasted some time with testing to find this out

Yeah that's about what I got when I was doing 400 dpi and small view mode. Whats really odd is that, unlike any other phone I have had, if you bump the DPI up by 5 or 10, you don't get the minor increase in size you would expect. It just stays the same until it makes a massive change in size.

The stock changer and build.prop disturb each other. It's a nice feature from Huawei, but poorly implemented

I've edited build.prop directly after installing Rom. Only the ro.lcd.density to 320 and it works like a charm. The display setting changed to small automatically after reboot.

I did 320 but lost one handed mode. Bumped it up to 380, got one hand mode back, and it is the same size on small.
Now I'm back to B152 because of this

Use that app and set the static colour to black
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.axndx.prithvee.pixelnavbar
Then use this app and get the buttons placed correctly.
This isn't perfect and sometimes the nav bar has a mind if it's own but works in most apps
It also has the pixel animations
Also the nav bar has the be locked in the "up" position
Also I'm using cornify free in this pic
When I make this and I see duplicate navigation icons (one from the app and the original from the OOS launcher), I try every setting and no luck...

Yeah so u can adjust the buttons in the pixel nav bar app. Make them sighly smaller than the oos ones. For me the oxygen os ones are the "outline" and the pixel ones fill in the space.
See this pic. The light gray is oos
My settings
Thanks with moving one over the other it works. But I thinking of rooting my phone not waiting for OOS Oreo update. And make customization a lot easier!
is there any way to achieve Pixel navigation bar with animation on a rooted OnePlus 5T?

Well I had the animation without root. Still using this guide.
Try to use telegram with Navbar, and see what happens when you use the keyboard and try to attach something to the message
Guys, sorry for the request, I'm not very skilled in the programming but I guess it's easy to create a flashable .zip that substitutes only the icons of the OP5t navbar with those of the Pixel, without animations. Would someone do it? It would be a more elegant solution and without the horrible gray edges that you see using the play store app.

Its actually really easy t get the pixel navbar.
If you use substratum. Just download awesome navbar and press pixel and install. That's it. For nougat it requires root, if ur on oreo beta it does not. (Only adb)

I do not use substratum, I had tried a xposed module that did not work very well, so I had come to the point of wanting a flashable .zip like the old times on Nexus 6p. I will try substratum, thank you very much for the advice!
Hey there
As the title says I am searching for a way to make the navbar smaller on Oreo
Saw many threads where ppl wanted to disable it but that's not what I am looking for
On Nougat I had some apps that made the navbar smaller but on Oreo it seems that those are not working anymore
Or maybe I am doing something wrong
Because I don't get substratum also not working (I know that changing navbar height with substratum is not working on Oreo atm?)
It's just working one time and that's it
Hope somebody can help me
No one? Please, the bar is very large, we need to oreo, please
Same here, updated to Oreo "crap" release and the navbar is HUGE! I want it a lot thinner. No solution I used before works now.
Until now nobody could give a solution or some mod?
I always used Renovate Ice ROM, with RiCE Tweaks app that allowed such customization, and much more. Not sure if it works with stock rom though. I agree, I always set my navbar to ~half of the original one, but that was also the case in nougat.

In developer options there is a minimum width option, try experimenting with that by increasing the number
Any news with this? The perfect solution would be an APK (like Nougat) that changes the navbar height

My substratum pack can disable it, but not set a height. Look up System Mods on play store.
Its under System UI -> Remove Nav Bar Immersive. Then make sure you install my app called Immersive and set it for Nav Bar.

But in this case all I want it smaller navbar like on Nougat

yeah it works, but changes the hole interface
with xposed and gravity box its possible to change the hight of navbar.
Just change the dpi in developer options, it won't make it shorter but the buttons smaller, looks so much better in my opinion.
this is what im looking for but no solution so far..
Same here.
Looking for this.
Is it possible to reduce the height of the Navbar?
For now you could try enabling the developer settings, then go to smallest width and set it to 454. That's what I have and it is smaller, but everything will be smaller then. You can try different values though

Nice try, but no permanent solution for me. Have problems typing the right letters of the keyboard because of the huge Navbar...

it is permanent, you set it and it will remain, even after reboot.
how can you have problems typing the right letters, just because the navbar is slightly bigger as some other phones and same size as pixel devices?
Typing the correct Letters
Came from the U11 and it feels differently. And the huge Navbar doesn't look nice

Yea and that's why I've set the smallest width in developer settings to 454. Feels just right and navbar is small. Similar to Huawei devices

I somehow managed to have the nav bar slide down like in full screen mode. But after a reboot the nav didn't want go away.
Just Root your phone, install Xposed and use GravityBox. Some apps (like Spotify) will show a black space between app and navbar but most of the apps uses the space freed by the smaller Bar.
Edit: it seems that only apps compiled against an older sdk version has this bug with the black space.

Hello,
One of the reason I hate holes/notches it that you loose real state of your gorgeous screen taken by ultra high status bar. Back in a day (before notches) status bar was as high as clock text with couple of pixels above and under it... Now it's a big massive space under and above.
I minimalized the space above by using adb (screenshot attached) :
adb shell wm overscan 0,-30,0,0
(BTW sometimes it resets back to normal view, does anybody know hot to make it permanent?)
But space below still irritates me...
Does anybody knows any mod (I'm rooted and with Magisk) to modify it?
You can check "system UI tuner" but doubt it can do that.
I did try but no luck...
Magisk, EdXposed & Gravitybox or Renovate Ice rom
