I remember that there was a way to remove on screen buttons but don't remember how. Anyone know how since we now have s-off. I purchased an app a while back that allowed you to set swipe gestures as anything you want. So I set home, back, menu, recents, and google now as 2-3 finger swipes which is better than having on screen buttons.
edit- I removed it. Only issue is icons get pushed higher on homescreen only and can't move them lower.

No app just edit build.prop and add to the end qemu.hw.mainkeys=1. Then reboot.
GMD auto hide soft keys works also.

What I meant was I didn't know it was a feature in the app.
title says it all. i can't for the life of me find the setting to allow lockscreen rotation on my OPO. if i use my phone in my car, it's in landscape, and having a portrait oriented lockscreen just looks and feels silly.
okay, squirly squirts, i have it working.
if someone wants to make a quick script to just tap and go from here, just give me a thanks :good: and acknowledgement
it turns out that you need a stupid build.prop edit
go to /system
edit build.prop. you'll need an editor with root access and r/w privileges
add to the end of the file
Code:
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true
to the bottom.
save.
reboot.
there you go.:fingers-crossed:
I don't believe you can do it.

You can. Root, install Gravity Box and Xposed, enable it via Gravity Box. have mine lockscreen rotation working though.

That's not the lockscreen, that's a home screen. Mine does that too. I'm talking about the lockscreen. At least, I'm assuming it isn't the lockscreen, considering it looks like it has a dialer on it. It sure isn't the lockscreen on 11s.
Sorry, I'm talking specifically about the custom slider for the OPO, not a boring ring slider, lol

Thats actually is the lockscreen with PIN lock. Oh I think you are using the custom CM11s lockscreen so it cannot rotate I think. Try disable the custom lockscreen?

Lol, that's what I don't want to do. I want this lockscreen to rotate. That's the point of the thread
hell, i've even disabled the stupid custom lockscreen, hoping i could get the regular stock lockscreen to work in landscape. no such luck using gravity box with supersu (pro), using gravity box. wtf? what the emm effing eff? it's killing me, smalls

of course. using supersu for superuser access. it says it's on. never works. not once. not on the 'custom lockscreen' (which i prefer), nor without custom checked.
effing thing. i don't want to have to flash the thing from scratch, but i might this weekend, if nobody comes up with a solution that works.
in fact, using apex launcher, i can get homescreens to rotate, but not lock. using trebuchet, i can't even get homescreens to rotate, using exact same settings. effing ridiculous

Thats because the auto rotate is dependent on the launcher app. Trebuchet doesn't offer as much settings out of the box.
Lock screen does not allow landscape. Thats just how it is.

An easier solution is to download the set orientation app from Google play. It allows rotation in all screens including lock screen.
I am looking for an app that can make it possible for me to pick and choose which notifications a particular app will show, and which will not. I'm not sure if that is even possible... I have this app that I don't want to shut off notifications on entirely; there's just one that I'm tired of seeing, because it notifies me of something I'm already well aware of, and does so constantly. It's just a swipe to dismiss, but its icon is the triangle/exclamation deal, and I don't like seeing it in my status bar. Having been a PC tech for almost 30 years, seeing that icon can be anxiety inducing!
Maybe I should learn to code, lol

Some custom ROMS give you the option to hide specific reoccurring notifications by long pressing the particular notification then hitting the snooze icon that comes up.

I know there's a way to put the device always in "Immersive Mode", that way you can hide the Navigation Bar:
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
But every time I swipe from the bottom to any place in the screen, the NavBar appears again (thats really frustrating >_<).
I use LMT Launched (pie), so... I don't need the NavBar to be there.
Is there a real way to truly disable the Navigation Bar???
On some roms, there's a way to do it from inside options (like in Pure Nexus rom for example), I'm currently using RenovateICE, but that option is not implemented yet.
Also, the old trick to disable the NavBar (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1) does not work on Android 7+.
Thank you for your time!!! =D
This is something I'd love to see a workaround for. I love the immersive mode feeling but I can't stand that you can't disable the nav bar completely. It hinders your ability to use swipe gestures whenever it comes back on screen and really it just defeats the purpose so I stopped using it for now.
I'll wait for a way to disable the nav bar completely on the stock ROM before I go back to "immersive mode" (if anything of the like ever comes along that is).

Yeah, or for example, when the keyboard pops out, the NavBar appears. D=
I'm pretty sure that there should be a way to do it!!!
Hi,
I was facing the same thing, and decided to take the plunge and root my phone, just for this since I have an exynos version.
From then you can edit the prop build file and remove the navbar permanently.
I use Swipe Gesture (app) to navigate around the phone with every apps full screen, it is a game changer. You can even customise actions (long press launching split screen, ect...)

What line did you added to build.prop???
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 ????
Lilolilo27, if you could elaborate on which parameter(s) you had to change in the build prop I would be forever thankful! I didn't think there would be an easy fix for this so soon!
Hi,
Yes just add the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 line to the end of the build prop file with a root explorer and reboot.
Just for precaution, make a backup of the prop file before hand AND set up Swipe Gesture or any other navigation app BEFORE making the change (or your keys will be gone and you wont be able to navigate around your phone)
Thanks lilolilo27. I'll have to give this a go when I have a few minutes and see how I come up. Thanks for the heads up btw.

I personally love it, don't see myself using a navigation bar ever again

Added it to my build.prop on Oreo b2, and had the same issue. Have you tried the layers solution? I would, but I haven't purchased the Samsung extension and don't really want to until I know it works (my hunch is that it only works on Nougat)
Hello,
Has anyone found a way to hide the navigation bar buttons or toggle immersive mode? By having the home key buttons slide out of the way when not in use, it makes the bezels appear much smaller and really takes advantage of more screen space. Both LG and Samsung have this feature built into their system options and I've noticed how much better many apps look when it's enabled. Plus, it may help with the apparent screen burn-in issue. I just tried loading the GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode app on a demo Pixel 2 XL at a Verizon store and it kind of worked, but not in all apps. It worked great in Chrome and Maps, but not in Twitter or the NFL Mobile app. In those apps, the buttons hid out of the way, but the black bar stayed. I'm considering purchasing a Pixel 2 XL, but this one feature has been holding me back. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated.
Have a great day!

I've tried using this on my Pixel 2 a couple times. The grant permissions are given, but the app shows it is not compatible with the device.
**UPDATE** and now just letting it sit on the test screen (had to do something else) it shows it can.

Once you've granted permission the test screen seems to stall so you need to close the app and open it again

I just did this mod on my Pixel 2. I hid the navbar which gives me more screen space, very cool. Thanks.
would the 18:9 aspect ratio of the 2xl just hide the buttons or would it stretch the screen?

Did anyone else have trouble getting the permission to work? I followed exactly but got nothing.
No, no problem.
You can also LeeDroid's Shortcutter app for this purpose - I've used that to put a toggle for immersive mode in my notification shade. Both that and Custom Navigation Bar work fine on my phone, but if you are having trouble with one you could try the other. You have verified that ADB is working (e.g. a quick "adb devices")? I had to update it on my laptop before it would work with my Pixel.
I finally got it all to work just took multiple times of opening and closing the app. Are we unable to completely get rid of the nav bar without root? Im using swipe navigation but the nav bar keeps coming up.
Why can't google make this an option like samsung?
