I am using Pie Controls on the Note8, and have disabled the Navbar using the disable Navbar apk from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...yers-themes-notifications-note8-t3678166/page). Unfortunately, that also disables the ability to hard press the home button. Is there any way that I can retain the hard press home functionality while still stopping the nav bar from appearing whenever I swipe up from the bottom of the screen?

Map the pie control home longpress to do the same thing

Sorry, I should have been more clear. What I want is the ability to hard press the home button again in order to press home, not just to do what it did before (which was just go home anyway). I was wondering if there was a way to, for example, make the navbar zero size or permanently hidden without disabling it, since it seems like it is the navbar itself that actually listens for the hard press.
Came here looking for the same thing. If you make the bottom bar activation area for pie larger than the nav bar it picks it up, so maybe a transparent 1px nav bar with no buttons would do the trick. That way technically it would still be present (allowing for the home hardpress) but still invoke the pie. I'm just researching this today so maybe someone has already come up with a solution and I haven't stumbled on it yet. Did you end up doing anything different?

Looking for hard press when the nav-bar is completely disabled, not just when it's hidden. The issue is that the the hard press functionality seems to be tied to the nav bar software, so if the nav bar process isn't running on the device the hard press isn't processed.

what's the reason for disabling, why not just hide the nav bar

Because if you just hide the nav bar by double tapping the little circle, then if you try to use pie controls on the bottom edge of your screen swiping up unhides the nav bar instead of bringing up pie controls, essentially making pie controls take more work to use than the nav bar when the point is that it's supposed to be faster and more comfortable.

Yes, that's similar to what I'm doing right now. I have a full navbar of back,home,and recent on each side of the screen (I also have the bixby button remapped to back,recents, and home. I've definitely gone overboard on this, but oh well) but I'd like to also replace the bottom nav-bar with pie controls without losing hard-press home functionality.
I ended up using the same apk listed above, I still have the 'hard home press' on the AOD, which is pretty much the only place I used it reliable. On to full time PIE baby!

So i have been using my phone in Immersive mode, love having the extra space and no black borders.
But i find swiping up to activate the navigation keys abit touchy sometimes, More so when browsing the web or reddit and i end up scrolling back to the top just to activate the nav keys.
Does anyone know a way to Re-Map the Bixby button to toggle the display of the Nav keys?
You could try BXActions from the play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.bxactions . This may allow it or you can assign the button to a Tasker task.

Yes,
i agree with rob_h (above post) re bxActions.
See screenshots.
Unfortunately you must have the premium version (paid) of bxActions.
I use it and works fine. No issues.
You can either set it to toggle per app or otherwise.
No root required, only a simple ADB command on a pc.
Good luck
I keep returning to home screen whenever I type too quick while pressing the space bar
This gets very annoying. I've searched for a nav bar to replace the stock one but then my dock apps get hidden behind my nav bars and the keyboard also messes up too.
Is there anything to reduce the size of the nav bar?
Why not remove the bar entirely? Just use the button. One tap for back, hold for home and swipe for multitasking.

Not as far as I know. There are other options that can help. You can hide it altogether, which is how I have it. Loving it since day one. Or you could get it to hide in a floating dock. Or bring it up only on swipe up, I think.
I had a similar problem with a different phone. I ended up simply moving the keyboard up using the keyboards settings. Unfortunately I don't remember which keyboard app it was. I use SwiftKey now, and it lets me float the keyboard.

Too confusing. They should let you customise the gestures
Honestly I've removed the nav bar I just use the single button, finger print reader.
Tap for back
Hold for home
Swipe for recents.
Don't think I could go back to a nav bar now.
it's stuck in the far right and as a left-handed user, i'd rather it in the center or more closer to the left. holding on the button wont let me move it or do anything. is anyone else experiencing this?
Not sure what you mean by apps button? If you are referring to the navigation bar then you can swap the recents with the back button
Just search navigation bar in settings
its the button on your home screen that opens up the list of all your apps
Under display in the settings there is an option to turn the app button on
yes, it's on my home screen but I am unable to move the icon around the bottom like my other shortcuts, which is my issue
What a pain in the arse, now just swipe up
Might go back to NoVA because of this

Hi,
I just noticed that if normal navigation buttons are used a slider will appear if you press home button and slide to the right side much like the same way the slider of the Google pixel 3 in which we can scroll through open apps but the problem is this slider does nothing

Hi, in short - you are wrong... Yes, the slider appears when you slide your finger over the home button, but it does scroll through recent apps. There is another function also, you can slide your finger from the home button to the back button - it works like a double-tap on the recents button, try it.
Actually I was using task changer in good lock so I have different recent apps layout and it wasn't working there that's why I thought it was broken. Thanks for clarification.

New to the Ultra 21. Is there a way to swap positions of the app button and back button? I've looked everywhere. Basically want the back button on left and app button on right.

Go to settings, display and navigation bar
You can then change button order
Thank you very much.
More customization options from the Galaxy Store.
Good Lock Family>Navstar
There are more apps in this family, Quickstar and Clockface are very useful.
Check out One Handed Operation Plus, place navigation gestures from the sides and more.
Samsung is the most customizable stock phone on the planet. Lots of options. Hundreds of free icon packs and themes.
