has anyone figured out a way to swap back and recents on the navbar? i've tried adb and modules with no success.
got it with gravity box, along with everything else i needed fixed (clock location, custom keys...). i completely forgot about it since i haven't used it since the old sammy days.

I almost always use my phone in extended desktop mode, so the nav bar is hidden, but sometimes for some reason I needed the nav bar so I turned off the extended desktop mode and there never was any problem. But now I can even disable Gravitybox in Xposed and there's still not going to be a nav bar.
Is it happened to anyone else before? Can I fix it without a factory reset?

Are your Xposed & Gravitybox up to date?

Yes, they are, but as I said before, I've tried disabling Gravitybox, so if that was causing the problems it should've been fine after rebooting.
Anyways, I'll do a factory reset and hope that'll solve my problems.
I'm trying to get the AOSP battery icon instead of the Sony one. I've tried GravityBox, which works to add the AOSP icon, but Sony's one is still there. I know I can disable it in settings but it still shows on the lock screen and when the notification pane is down. Is there any other way to change/remove Sony's battery icon?
Not Optimal... But it works!
So I am figuring you are trying to do this because you got gravity box and when you apply a battery icon it adds it alongside the stock one but doesn't replace it... So there three easy steps to get rid of it! First of all in the settings search for personalization, system icons and untick battery... this will get rid of the battery in the status bar when it is NOT pulled down; then go to the xposed app and download a module called clean lock screen, activate it and tick the option for the removal of the status bar icons... this will get rid of it in the lock screen BUT it will also remove the gravity box one and the WiFi and data signal icons... and lastly, download a module from the xposed installer called android N-ify, this will add some awesome features like the double-tap recents to go to last applications and yata yata but most important thing is that this will customize your notification and quick toggle panel and it by default hides battery... so reboot and your stock battery should be successfully hidden!! I know your question is kinda old by now but I just got back to stock marshmallow in my z3 and was struggling with this same exact problem and this was the best solution I was able to find for this!

I'm trying to fully disable the NavBar without success...
If I try to mod build.prop adding the following line at the end of the file:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
My system just crashes.
That's the tweak that i've been using to disable the NavBar on every phone I had before.
I read somewhere that I can just set my phone to be always on immersive mode via a terminal command, and that's way I did to "hide" the NavBar, but every time I swipe up "by mistake", the bar appears (or every time I try to use the keyboard).
I don't need the NavBar because I use LMT, it just takes space on my screen.
Can anyone please help me sort this out???
Best regards!!!

This is a method, setting DPI of nav bar to zero. Also there is immersive mode. Also if rooted there are apps that can hide the status and nav bars. I used an app called Tile root for Nougat. It worked great. Now I use a custom ROM which has it built in.
Just switched over to the H8. Took the Android 7 upgrade and did a boot loader unlock/TWRP/root.
I went on a quest to get the Nav Bar to hide. I tried a few things (apps out of the app store) none of which really worked. I also made a few changes to build.prop (I'll tell you about that in a second). At some point I realized the NAV bar was GONE. Sometimes I could get it to come back up and sometimes not.
Now I have it back but it has the "hide" button on the left which SHOULD be good except once you hide it, no amount of coaxing will reliably bring it back up. So either I don't know how to bring it up (just swipe up from the bottom, right?) or something is still broken. At this point, I'd be happy just to get rid of the hide button.
I did a few tries with (with both 0 and 1 values)
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
ro.config.showNavigationBar=false
If you set mainkeys=1 the screen will go black after unlocking. The true/false seems to control the switch on the nav button menu, not the nav bar itself.
In addition in the global settings namespace there is:
navigationbar_is_min=0
policy_control=null*
If you hide the bar, is_min goes to 1 but changing it manually doesn't help. The policy control ought to hide bars if set right but seems to not have any effect.
Any ideas? What am I missing? Something is making it put that extra button on the nav bar.
Update:
Setting policy_control to "" brings the bar back but... it floats over the screen. It works but the app on the screen is "under" it, as though it were pulled up. So I suspect I need to google a different value of policy_control.
If someone has the same setup and could do from an adb shell:
settings get global policy_control
That would be interesting.
Update #2: Rebooting with the taskbar up seems to correct that, but there is still the hide button on the left hand side. Now if it works and I just don't know how to make it reappear that's exactly what I'm after. But as it is if you make a mistake and hide it, it is hard to recover (and yes I know about the floating dock).
Final Update (?)
Ok I think I got it, although I never got it back to stock. Instead of trying to get out of immersive mode I should have gone in for it. From ADB I did:
settings put global policy_control "immersive.full=*"
or
settings put global policy_control "immersive.navigation=*"
That seems to do what I want. The nav bar hides until you swipe up or bring the notifications down. If the keyboard or something else is under it you can use the hide button to push it away. Success! Well... maybe... it seems like I lost it again, but for awhile it was behaving exactly as you'd expect.... hmm..
I've tried to replace the navbar with gestures before, and the best I got was to completely hide the nav.
There are also some apps on the play store that let you do that, and work pretty well.
The problem is the modifications that Huawei made to the OS are so extensive, that messing with the navbar in ways that other devices work, may just break it completely.
It's a pain in the butt to do anything on this phone.
Well I had a few hours of success where the bar hid and would show. Sometimes a drag up would not work but bringing the status bar down would also bring the menu up and that's workable. But... this morning. it decided to hide all the time again. So I can eventually coax it back with settings changes, but that's really not handy at all.
Ok I think I have a better idea now. The build.prop has the
ro.config.showNavigationBar=false
This controls if the "Show navigation bar" shows up in settings (and that's all it controls). However... I had it turned ON and then removed that line from build prop. So having it on appears to control the hide button and that's all.
Meanwhile all the immersive mode stuff was just further confusing.
So the working config seems to be:
Set the nav bar to true in build prob.
the settings should have policy_control to null*
the settings should have navigationbar_is_min 0
then once rebooted, slide the Navigation Bar OFF on the Navigation Key setting (not sure where this is stored).
So it is confusing because Navigation Bar OFF must mean more "Navigation Bar hiding OFF"
Better idea is to leave the nav bar alone. However, if you had a 3rd party replacement (or you like using the floating dock which I don't) then setting the is_min setting to 1 might be just what you want. Just reboot and that sucker stays gone most of the time.
So once I had that sorted out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive does what I wanted. What an adventure!
Hi,
I know this thread is kind of old, but I've also been trying to his the navy bar, only difference is I never want it to come back.
I've tried qemu.hw.mainkeys and got the black screen after locking, tried is_min setting but it hid the keys on the bar but lleft a bar at the bottom of the screen.
Any ideas on how I can make it vanish forever?
Thanks

Are you in EMUI 5 or 4?
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
I just updated my P7P to the latest security update and rerooted and all.
Root works and all other modules installed seem to work corerctly.
However, Themer can no longer change anything related to the Quick settings beyond transparency and AOSP mods can't apply any changes whatsoever, and trying to enable network monitoring on the quick settings pannel makes the UI to crash constantly.
Lsposed and its modules are also enabled and working correctly.
Anyone else expariencing the same issue?
I am missing anything important here?
[SOLUTION]
-Disable Magisk hide or any similar functionality.
-Uninstall all the theme modules, even the ones that seem to work.
-Reboot
-Access the apps settings and delete all data from all the apps realted to the themes and modules just uninstalled.
-Reinstall all the modules (reboot required).
-Apply all the theming options you had before.
After that it should work again.
If you have very especific and complex themes adn UI changes made you might want to try to create a backup of those before going through that process, as it will remove all UI modificatons made with those tools.
All the stuff I use in Themer (Gradient, QS shapes, custom brightness slider + icons) works perfectly for me.
However in AOSP Mods I can't move the status bar clock to the right anymore, since updating my phone to the December patch. Other things like moving the brightness bar to the bottom work, though.

For me shapes, brightness bars, colors on the panel and so dont work, the custom clock does tho.
On AOSP mods nothing related to status bar works, and if i enable wifi status on Quick Settinsg Pannel i get the UI crashing...
Okay, i fixed it.
For anyone with the same issue, this is what i did:
-Disable Magisk hide or any similar functionality.
