[Q] How to hide the navigation bar? - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Has anyone figured out a way to hide the navigation bar on P9 (EVA-L09) like it's done on P7 or P8?

I am looking for a solution as well. Don't know why they don't introduce "hide navigation bar" for oversea's version

You're looking for the xposed Module "hideable nav bar".

There is no settings as such to hide. If you have rooted device, using "root file explorer" go to /system/build.prop, open with text editor and add a line, qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 and restart your device. This will hide navigation permenantly. To bring it back delete this line from build.prop or put "0" value for this line. You may have alternative navigation like gesture navigation (xposed module) or something similar to this.. Hope this helps.

Is there really no way to reveal the hide/unhide button like for the Mate S?:

Or even better the option without root for the P6:

I am so used to be able to hide and unhide the navigation at will on my P6, that I am not sure I can handle not having that on the P9
Thank you!

Thanks. Very useful.

Can you hide the navigation bar on the Chinese models of the P9? If that is the case, maybe someone can send us a backup settings file with that option enabled? Or maybe someone can check what line governs the hide/unhide feature in the build.prop.
Thanks!!

But there must be a setting for it in the Chinese P9 which have the option to hide the navigation bar. Does anyone have a rooted Chinese P9 and can take a look at their build.prop to find out how the "hide/unhide the naviation bar" function is realized there?
Pretty please!
Thank you!!!

Download the zip. Unzip it and watch the video in it.

If you have root you can also try adding this line to the build.prop

I suggest you to not mess with root because it voids your warranty and can break your phones software.

you can modify build prop without root with adb... nobody knows that?

Multiwindow for CyanogenMod!

Hello everyone. I was searching this for a day. And i found a working one. I tried it with cyanogenmod and it's working perfectly.
First you need xposed installer. Download it from here . Install it,open it , install framework and reboot.
Then you need 2 apks. First one is modded halo. Download it from here . Second one is XHaloFloatingwindow. Download it from here . Install halo and xhalofloatingwindow. Then open xposed installer,touch modules , enable xhalofloating window and reboot. It's done. Then open halo ,pin apps and start it. Then go XHaloFloatingWindow and enable moveble&resizable . Last thing you need is a app switcher. My favourite is this . But you can what you want. It's done happy multitasking :victory:
Thank you but i don't really understand how to use it, i can't have 2 windows at the same moment, can you explain ?

I can confirm, too!!
If you don't want to see a lot of notification in your notification bar there is a way for it. First you need notification toggle pro. Download and install haloshortcut from link. Then open notification toggle , add an app, in shortcuts tab select haloshortcut, touch select app ,select an app and touch create shortcut. You can add what you want. And it isn't take space in your notification bar.

Sorry for my bad english
I tried xposed and I only need xhalofloatingwindow, if you configure open halo in recent apps with long press, you don't need halo)) or any troggle. It' great :highfive:

Guide-How to enable double tap to wake and wake gestures on P9 Lite

Hi guys,
this is a guide how you can enable double tap to wake and wake gestures (Camera, Music,..., or custom apps) on your P9 Lite.
Somehow Huawei left the options in the system root, but made in invisible in the settings (same with many other Huawei devices). This is the same method others used for the P9.
All you need is:
-rooted device
(for rooting my device I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701
the only thing I did different for getting SU working, was that I installed the root with the SRK-Tool and then I installed the mentioned SU-Update zip file)
-A file explorer with root access
-text editor app (I used the QuickEdit from the Playstore)
Even if this workaround worked 100% and without any problems on my device (rooted VNS-L31 on B100), your doing it on your own risk!
Step 1: Enter the file explorer and go to the root directory. Open the system folder and look for the build.prop file.
Step 2: Open the build.prop with the texteditor and search for the line ro.config.hw_easywakeup=false, now change the "false" into a "true" and save/exit the file. Just open it a again to ensure the entry has been realy changed and saved.
Step 3: Now go to the directory system/emui/base/xml, ther you open the file hw_easywakeupmotion_config.xml with the editor.
Step 4: Search for the line "EasyWakeupMotion name="Double_Touch" support="1" value="0" flag="0" keycode="131"" and change the value=0 into value=1. Again save and exit the file and ensure that it has been really changed.
Step 5: Restart your device and go into settings menu-->smart assistance-->motion controle. Now there are the options double tap and wake gestures available. You could also change the apps which are related to the different wake gestures. After activating it should be working right away. Otherwise do another restart and it should be good.
Hope everthing is working for you...I tested it now for some days and with some cases where I had to tap the display three times to wake up it worked flawlessly. There is also NO additional battery drain caused by the feature.
In addition it would be helpfull to mention which version of the phone you have, also if it's Asia or Europe etc.
Great job man
Strangely, doesn't work for me.
I can see the option and I have activated it but the phone does not wake up when tapping it
L31 B104
works, 8 times out of 10 ... and 'slow to answer you think you can do something? Meanwhile, thanks to good work
Thanks bro! This worked for me! All of your posts are useful! I got the phone yesterday updated to the latest version rooted it, Installed xposed but do you know a way to center the clock? I've tried to use GravityBox and Xblast Tools but none of the options works I rebooted the phone and still they don't do anything ugh.. I hope there will be a CM rom for this device and if you have anything else useful for this device like theming and stuff tell us! And also tell me what Xposed modules you use

Nice to here for the modding of status bar (also centering clock) I'm using the "flat style bar indicator". Which works for me. I tried the xposed version from wanam as well as the regular v86 and I experienced better performance and compatibility with the regular version. Important is to do a cache and dalvik wipe after installing new modules, reboot then might take some minutes but dont be scared
The features I'm using from gravity is on one side the setup for the navigation bar keys (you can set longpress, double press actions) and on the other side the volume to skip songs
I use "doubletaptosleep" for statusbar double tap to sleep^^
The vibration tuner for setting a shorter vibration duration. Because the notification buzz was a bit to much for my taste
and last but not least I have the flat style status bar, this module ensures that the symbols in the statusbar turn black when you have a white or light background. You also can change the navigationbar
So this is pretty much it. I attached two screenshots. I changed my homescreen to a pretty much IOS style...guess some of you might be botherd with that but I always wanted a IOS-Style phone with the android functionality.

Yes, unfortunatley it's not always working on a single double tap, but if you do a double double tap it works everytime. Couldn't figure out why its like that. Strangely the letter function is always working. Another addition is that you can enable the letter "O" as well by just activating it with value=1 and setting the "keycode=137".
The response time is, how I fear, untouchable. I guess it has something to do with cpu reaction time from standby. But I haven't seen a faster reaction by other phones which are officialy supporting this feature. But I will keep looking.

Well, DT2W is always a function that has to be supported by the kernel.
So maybe different phone versions do have different versions of the kernel.
Could you tell me which kernel version you are using? Mine is 3.10.90-g7bbea55 (May 15)
Maybe Huawei will give us an official DT2W support soon. Afaik they also enabled it late on the P8 with a firmware update :fingers-crossed:

My kernel is the 3.10.90-g9c133f1 (april 26th)....so its a different one. I hope so too, otherwise it would also make no sense to leave the coding in there rom because it only bloat it...Theres already a beta for the P9 with Android N. So lets hope for the best.
I have European version with same kernel as @Schlengge .
For me it works. Thank you @To_High !
Maybe you dont need double tap if we have fingerprint
works greate on L21 b120 rom , thanks

Nice tutorial, but in my case it doesn't work (VNSL31 Dual Sim European, Kernel 3.10.90-g424020b).
I deactivated fingerprint, but I couldn't deactivate the PIN unlock - tried to clear credentials, but I cannot change from PIN to "none".

I'm sorry but i can't find the app that you are talking about. It might need root permission though.
me also i didn't find,u can try to screenshot the application in play store and share it here the screenshot
Hey! I have the same problem on my huawei honor 8. The app isn't in the play store or says it's uncompatible.
And don't worry, you don't need root for it.
Google navbar apps and an apk mirror site should pop up, where you can download an apk of navbar apps(xda doesn't allow me to put links sorry)
It works totally fine, i have no idea why it's not "compatible"

Remove/Hide IME Keyboard Switcher notification and icon for OnePlus 3 (OOS/FreedomOS)

This notification appears if you have 2+ languages or 2+ keyboards.
Some ROMs have a built in option to hide it, but many don't.
There used to be Xposed module to hide IME Keyboard Switcher notification and icon (link below) :
http://repo.xposed.info/module/biz.underpants_gnomes.android.xposed.mods.hidexposedime
Obviously Xposed doesn't work in Nougat (yet?). I was wondering if someone can make a Magisk module to hide this annoying thing.
EDIT: WORKING MODULE in the thread thanks to Tulsadiver. Works on OnePlus 3 (OOS/FreedomOS)
<double post>
I know that there is working xposed now for nougat, but it currently breaks safety net.
Bumping it up in hopes for a magisk module that will Hide IME Keyboard Switcher notification and icon.

I could probably make one for you but it wouldn't work on all phones. In your Systemui.apk you probably have a menu_ime.xml and ic_ime_switcher_default.xml. Edit those and you are probably good.

I backed up my systemui apk via titanium backup and attached a copy here. Not sure what to edit there and how to make a magisk file from it so it doesn't break safetynet.
By the way this is for One Plus 3, FreedomOS-2.10

You are welcome. Good point about the wipe and thanks for sharing. I believe app and priv-app mods are wiped but apparently framework-res.apk mods are not and this turned out to be a framework-res.apk mod.

I have noticed a weird thing with this module. When I go to Google Play store I have a strange box in the search field (screenshot attached). Also if I choose an installed app in the store and try to go into three dot menu (not enable/disable auto-update) store crashes. It is definitely because of this module, because when I disable it, this strange behavior stops. Wondering if you have any clue what could be a cause of it.

I believe all I did was change the enable IME switcher bool from true to false. That is all. Was that a stock framework-res.apk you uploaded? I'll take a look at it when I get home tomorrow.
