Longtime xda user but have been out of the modding scene for many many years now, so forgive me if my question is stupid. Just got the P7P and put magisk etc on it. I don't like gesture navigation, and I am surprised that google doesn't allow nav bar button customization, which is something that has existed on various android implementations for as long as android has been around. Is there a magisk module that can do this on the latest 12/22 firmware? All google search results return with very old posts, and at this time I don't know how to recover from a bootloop if I do take a chance on flashing something.
Something that I had personally suggest is the Navigation Bar (9.0 +) module for Magisk, you can find it on Github.
Here's a link: Navigation Bar (9.0+)
There are many more methods but you can mention me anytime if this doesn't works.

Check out AOSP mod. It allows configuration for the nav buttons. It is a good replacement for Gravitybox.
After years of 3 button nav, I switched to gestures. It took a few days to get used to it. Now it is built into my flabby muscle memory.

Using Gestures, love it. Was a hardcore Navbar user.
Don't seem to have any issue with gestures and side panels.
Any specific app you are referring to?
I am using viber, skytube, k-9 mail, nextcloud, Mixplorer. Just to mention a few where I constantly use side panels and weird stuff happens when trying to open it due to the functional overlap

LMT pie works pretty good. I tried a couple others including Omni switcher that I pulled from another rom but didnt seem as useful especially since recent app switcher is unavailable here. I'm looking for something to replace that very useful feature google decided they would deprive us from
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
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

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!

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!
I am using the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5110), a 10.1 inches wide tablet, and my thumbs are obviously having the worst time trying to reach the on-screen navigation keys. I can't always place the tablet on a table. I would usually be holding it with both of my hands and I can only rely on my thumbs in that situation.
Unless I would let go of the other hand, risking the moderately heavy tablet to fall.
Is there any app or a way to modify the on-screen navigation keys to have a bit further distance or space from each other, just like it was on Stock ROM and on our KitKat ROMs?
Or if it can be moved or positioned to the right or left side of the Navigation Bar?
I think the distance of the on-screen navigation keys for P51XX were modified when we started having the Unified ROMs?
I don't want to use Pie controls yet, if I can still find a way to modify the on-screen navigation keys.
Do I have to edit something in the build.prop?
Edit: I'm using the AICP 12.1 (Nougat 7.1.2) ROM
welp, place your tablet on your arm and grab the tablet top side and you can safely.
Or you can change navigation into fling bar so you can use gestures on navigation.
@StalkerUnderTheBed
Good point! I've tried Custom Navigation Bar but it's incompatible with your rom.
You'll need to use custom roms that doesn't use Smartbar and is on Nougat+ like LineageOS 14.1.
Also as an extra, this thread.

Thanks! Yep, it didn't work on this ROM. So "build.prop" is the correct place to edit and move these?
I don't have the knowledge for that, but I'll try to manage somehow.

Hello. I was wondering if there is a way to hide three button navigation bar on my 8t to use a third party gesture app.
I have root and i did try Magisk Hide Props config method by changing qemu.hw.mainkeys from 0 to 1, but nothing changed. Even after reboot the value stayed at 1, but still have the nav bar..
As far as I know, they changed something in android 11 which makes that impossible.
I tried the same with fluid n.g but it did not work
There a way to do it with adb. Haven't tested on 11 yet

Theoretically root (above method) should work, it works on Pixel phones, but currently still not working on OnePlus 8T.
Don't see the problem why they removed that feature. I would gladly use the gestures on Oneplus, but the problem is that it's blocking some features on different apps where I have to press something down in the corners. I think it's because of the google assistant feature.
Why not use the stock gestures?

This doesn't mean "removing" the navbar, what you shown is changing the navigation more from navbar to navigation gestures. What people are talking here is to remove the navbar while in navbar mode, so that they can use third party navigation gestures app.
If you ask why, they (and myself too) doesn't like OnePlus' navigation gestures for certain reasons. Personally, I much prefer the old OnePlus 6 style which is swipe up from bottom left/right for "back" action.

Aka android 9 version. Android 9 also had the two button gesture option. Android 10 introduced this version of it and has been further optimized in Android 11.
Of course this is all stock android versions. Some OEM's modified it like samsung for example. Oneplus isn't responsible for this style as its stock android gesture nav. Maybe in the future oneplus will make there own but there goal is to make OOS as close to aosp as possible while still adding some built-in customization.

Yeah I don't blame OnePlus for this, and it is Google that removed android's ADB overscan feature to hide navigation bar as well. I just hoped that the root method works in OnePlus (the build.prop edit) because it works well on Pixel phones.
I am using Oneplus's gestures + Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures Magisk module, this gives me almost truly fullscreen experience. I hated the arrow key on the bottom left of the keyboard. So this solves the problem for me. Just thought I'd pitch in.

Even though u remove the bottom bar, some apps still consider the empty space there. Check keyboard for example. There is some space and a useless hide arrow on bottom left. I believe OP is looking for a solution to remove that as well(which older versions used to support using overscan). I was looking for a solution to this as well.

You still don't understand, we don't only want to hide that bar, we also want to totally disable the stock gesture so that we can REPLACE with other third party gesture app. On Android 11 the method is to use the 3-button navigation bar AND disable it, so that we can use another third party gesture like Fluid Navigation without the stock one interfering.
If you still don't understand please do not insist you do.
The only person who doesn't understand is you.

Well it is hardly a pill, the thin horizontal line at the bottom of the home screens. Indicator when scrolling through home screens.
There is also a Substratum theme (FSIM) version of the Fullscreen/Immersive Gesture Tweaks Magisk module mentioned above (same developer) which I use to get rid of it.

That's the ying and Yang of Google. BY default they offer little in customisation but then they also make it easy to root your phone and add custom mods. Samsung are the opposite, they offer loads of customisation but it's a pia to root

Just an FYI, but it seems that if you use the systemless hosts module, then you cannot use that Fullscreen module by DanGLES3. This is because it prevents your apps that require root access from seeing that they have root access. Basically, it messes up your superuser permissions and screws with the Magisk pathways. I was trying to check what it did, however, I cannot explore any root directories due to my file explorer's superuser permissions now being ignored lol.
So, while this option works great and doesn't require LSposed, it prevents you from doing anything else with your root access =(.
The only way to resolve the problems is by wiping your phone, re-imaging and starting over =P.

Which is all very good i am sure but what purpose does the gesture line actually serve, why is it even there to start with is the question and not well it is easy to root your phone crack on and sort it yourself. Googles logic of it being there is baffling.
Lets be honest Google are now pushing the Pixel as a mainstream phone and it is probably bought mainly on the strength of its photographic capabilities, It isn't just the plaything of the inquisitive like the Nexus was. I bet the amount of Pixels that get rooted compared to sold is miniscule.

I would say that's true and has always been true of every phone. Otherwise, there would be millions and millions of XDA members. The Modding community is a microcosm of overall phone owners
But, why not have the pill? What is the argument against it?
Takes up space with something that useless for some.
