[REQ] Android Navigation Buttons - Tweaked and Customized

Hello!
I know there are some Threads about it already.
I've been searching the web (and xda) about hiding those Nexus navigation buttons in apps but with no success of what I want.
I have already posted this in Q&A but with no success.
REQUEST:
I want my navigation buttons to be ACTIVE on some apps, while I want those button to hide on the other apps with !!POSSIBILITY!! to activate them (indefinite, not only for some seconds) and deactivate when needed.
I don't want them to appear "above" everything like some apps and ways to do this offer. I want it stock, the way android 4.4 does this (eg. http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...go-truly-full-screen-hide-the-navigation-bar/)
With the latter I meant when on Home Screen - there should be transparent Button Bar (like stock 4.4) Not like apps that only offer full black ​
Do you think it is possible? Or maybe modified ROM could offer tweaked and improved android 4.4 "Full-screen Immersive mode" HERE.

Well considering the rom scene has yet to start up for cm or any other rom for that matter, I wouldn't hold your breath. I am sure it is possible, but I don't know if someone will make it, seeing as there isn't a huge demand for this. Roms like AOKP have features like autohide nav bar and swipe up to reveal but nobody has what you want (that I know of) and I don't think it will happen.

Maybe you are right, but still I hope for a solution that would extend that Immersive mode to all apps.
I already found a similar solution app called Full!Screen. It does almost what I want with one exception - I want it to activate with a Gesture - Like swipe down with 2 fingers? and deactivate with swipe up from the bottom
I don't like any notification bar toggles
Maybe I can get it to work

[Q] [XV] Quick Settings and phone freezing problem on NeoWave rom

My XV is running NeoWave rom and I can't find a way to add some titles to Quick Setting (Toogle Sound mode, Toogle Wifi AP, etc...) like some other custom roms, so someone please tell me how can I do that
Regard phone freezing issue, my phone sometimes freeze when charging, charging LED still on when I unplug the phone, and I can't do anything except pulling out the battery. I never had this problem with stock rom, only with custom rom (Carbon and NeoWave). How can I fix this?

OmniRom doesn't support some Quick Settings that are included in other roms.
I suggest installing the app "Safe Charge" from Play Store to get rid of the freeze issues.

You can "swipe" a lot of tiles in the quicksettings, to show a secondary function.
The volume buttin changes to sound settings, the WiFi button to tethering, the network data button to data connection, the battery percentage to battery status etc.
All settings are there

I tried Safe Charge but it seems the issue still persist. Btw love your rom so much, only some minor problem with ART but overall it's great :good::good::good:

One more question, in other roms some Quick Settings titles have their own setting. For example I can remove Silent and Ringer only mode in Sound title, only Vibrate and Sound+Vibrate left. So does NeoWave rom has this option as well?

I haven't quite figured that out.
When you deblock the buttons so that you can move them, some of them can be changed size and transparency when clicked. I imagine that has something to do with it, but i did not experiment.

Already installed Safe Charge and SOD has even been more frequently. I missed my morning alarms because of that. I never experienced that on any stock-based rom. Is it kernel related?

It's strange, as only a few people have SoDs. I personally don't.

So sad. I had sudden shutdown problem with stock rom before, then I changed to Carbon then your rom and that problem has gone, but now SoD.
I think Quick Settings lacks customizations compared to other rom. As far as I know, this is rom-integrated, so GravityBox (and other Xposed modules, too) won't work. It means only you can make some modifications to this, right?

It requires quite a lot of modding to add quick settings.
I dont have a lot of time for developing in the next months. Sorry.

@WhiteNeo Don't feel sorry bro, you've already work really hard to bring us this wonderful rom :good::good::good: And beside that, it seems I'm the only one request this feature, and maybe other guys prefer Omni-style Quick Settings, so it would be great if you could provide a flashable zip for this modification, of course only if you have time Good luck with your studying

MIUI Status Bar (keep notifications expanded)

Hi all
I've my phone since two days and I have to say, I deeply dislike MIUI.
The most annoying thing for me is the status bar. I have apps open all day long (for work) with action buttons in the notifications.
If I pull down the status bar, it always opens the second (right) screen, and not the left one with all the notifications. Further, after closing status bar and reopening again (for clicking the action buttons), the notification is not expanded anymore. It does not save, that I've expandet it allready. In these cases, you always have to use two fingers, to expand the notification again. Really annoying! Every other *normal* Android system I had, has behaviour like this...
I don't want to flash RR or CM, there always are bugs and features not working...
The person who can point me to the right direction for addressing these bugs is my hero!
Thanks for all your replies in advance!

Hi,
you provide no information about what rom or what version of miui you are using. This makes it a bit hard to help. My Mi5 runs the xiaomi.eu dev version 6.7.21. The bug you describe is not present on that version. I just tried the "two sided" notification bar and it always expands to the notification side and not to the shortcuts side. But I prefere to use the "one sided" notification bar, which is more comfortable for me. Everything is on one side and the shortcuts are located above.
cheers

Hi Greg
Thanks for your reply. Oops, stupid me.
I'm running MIUI 7 Global 6.5.30 on my Mi 5 Pro.
Maybe they changed this behaviour for the global release.
You mentioned "I just tried the "two sided" notification bar [...snip...]". Are those "one side" notification bars in every MIUI (v7) or do you have some special build? I can't find it in my settings...

Hi,
honestly, I tested miui v7 just for one or two days, then miui v8 came out and I switched directly to this new version. So, i really do not know, if the "two sided" notification bar was firstly introduced in the v8 or if it was a part of the v7 already. Is there something holding you back from flashing the new miui v8? I would do a nandroid backup and test the v8. But don't forget to update your twrp accordingly.
cheers

Lollipop & Gravity Box - Two Quick Setting Tiles not being removed

Lollipop 5.10
Wiko Highwar Star (phone)
Hi guys, hope you can please steer me in the right direction. Am late to the Lollipop party (just upgraded my phone finally to LP 5.10 from KK 4.4.4), and I immediately noticed that my phone has a very bad Quick Settings tiles (the ones that display pulling down up top on the Notification Bar). By bad I mean no flashlight tile and a whole bunch of other tiles that serve me no purpose.
So I rooted the phone, installed custom bootloader, installed Xposed, all for the purpose of installing Gravity Box so to hopefully tailor my Quick Settings to my needs. But unfortunately it seems I am only half successful because I still have two tiles displaying (Smart Standby & W Mode - don't even know what they do) that I can't make disappear using Gravity Box because they are not listed under its settings for Quick Settings Tiles so to uncheck them to make them disappear. I had thought that Gravity Box would only display those tiles that I have checked in its options, but that does not seem to be the case as I have those last two system stock tiles still displaying. So help please... is there a way that I haven't figured out yet in Gravity Box to make these last two tiles disappear even though their names are not in its options to uncheck?
If not, is there a way to make all my Quick Settings Tiles disappear and then use some other Xposed module (or app) to add only the ones I want back in?
Oh I guess I should mention that this phone has no stock option, none whatsover, to alter the Quick Settings Tiles which is why I was resorted to installing Xposed.. Even tapping or long pressing the main Settings button didn't bring up any way to alter the quick settings tiles.
Cheers guys for some guidance

@andyxo, could you specify the Lollipop ROM you're using. GravityBox is designed for mostly vanilla/plain AOSP ROMs. Depending on your ROM GB may or may not be able to do all that you want as stated in the module's various threads.
Maybe copy and paste your post in the GravityBox Lollipop thread. Don't forget to mention your ROM.

Hi, thanks for your post... the ROM is the one that came with my phone (Wiko Highway Star). Ya, I figured that Gravity Box has that limitation but am hoping someone could provide an alternate solution (besides Gravity Box) to getting rid of those last two pesky stock Quick Setting tiles. Such as a different module to totally remove all Lollipop Quick Setting tiles (I don't see such an option in Gravity Box, darn!) , then I could just find an app to add in the ones I want. Or some other solution, one that I haven't thought of yet

So haven't had any luck yet in totally removing all Quick Settings from Lollipop 5.10. I found a 5.0 version of SystemUI Tuner but that didn't do it. Tried various Xposed modules for other phones with the hopes of making it work but nope....
So Lollipop has been around for a long time... am really surprised that there is no Xposed module (or at least one that I have found) that can actually remove all Quick Settings what with all the coders and modders populating the world. If even just for a plain jane Lollipop android that I could try. What am I missing here?
Edit: So it seems I solved my first world problem using an app called Custom Quick Settings. For some reason this app had exactly the two pesky stock toggles I needed to remove from my Quick Settings tiles: Slip cover removed W mode and Smartstandby removed Smart Standby (go figure). For some reason (got lucky) Custom Quick Settings had these toggles turn-off-able while Grav Box doesn't. So am using both apps at the same time because Grav Box has more options relating to Quick Settings while just using Custom Quick Settings to remove those two peskies. So far they are playing well together.... posting this just in case may help someone

Nice find @andyxo. ?
I'll keep that app in mind if I ever come across some stubborn tiles that GravityBox can't handle.

Anybody knows how to enable the navigation bar with latest Android 9?

Hi,
I'm searching how to enable the navigation bar (3-Buttons at the bottom of the screen) on this phone. I'm missing "double tab to switch between latest apps" so much...
I already tried adb overscan command, does not work. Any other solutions?

Seems like UI doesn't allow on P.
I miss it too so what I've done is downloaded my preferred launcher.
I've tried a few but none seem to be doing the trick. You can also try downloading a 3 button navigation app but I really hate ads and it's almost impossible to find one without them.
Lastly, I'd highly recommend XDA's very own Navigation Gestures (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/official-xda-navigation-gestures-iphone-t3792361). You can edit it to see what works for you.
