I would like to add a gesture or something that brings up a menu button. I've used Xposed to get rid of the black bar menu button and have been using Pie Control to add a menu button when I swipe in from the side. However, Pie Control doesn't really work reliably for me and I hate that it's notification is the word "Pie" just up there all the time. I even bought the Pro version hoping I could change the notification, but no dice. Anyway, does anyone know of an app similar in function to Pie control but with a less obnoxious notification and that works more reliably?
Try Google Now Swipe Disabler
How to change swipe down to pull down notification,
and swipe up to open app drawer in stock launcher?
EMUI doesnt allow this, u have to install 3th party launcher … Nova, Lawnchair...etc

Were you able to disable the built in gestures in the phone? I'm a fan of Oneplus gestures and I don't like the navigation buttons showing so I turned on the built in gestures to hide the buttons. The Oneplus gestures works as I like it to work, but the built in ones are also active so sometimes I'm touching those. Annoying..

Guess that's a no then
I have recently upgraded my software to the latest pie version on my note 9. A feature I find rather interesting is the full gesture control. However, when I enable gesture hints, i get this thin white line at the bottom of my screen in certain apps. Like Yahoo mail. On the lock screen and normal menu it isn't there.
When I disable gesture hints I dont see it at all on any of my apps.
It's no big deal but it just annoys me.
Is anyone experiencing the same thing.?
Is probably because it just hides the navigation bar with hints enabled which is why I'm seeing the thin strip at the bottom ?
After the update to Android Pie, I realized I can't hide the Navigation bar anymore (in order to use hand gestures using "One Hand Operation +) .
I was able to at least apply ADB immersive mode to all my apps. However, that doesnt get rid of the navigation bar on my home screen.
I was hoping someone can suggest a good supplemental app that specifically focuses on removing the navigation buttons from my home screen. I've tried a couple Nav bar removal apps. However, they seem to still focus on immersive mode and adding white lists to immersive mode only.
I would appreciate any useful suggestions.
You should be able to hide navigation bar simply by changing to full screen gestures in Settings. If it doesn't it could due to earlier customisation. See if you can revert it back to default. Also wipe cache partition helps with issue after the updates
Yep, just enable full screen gestures and the nav bar will be gone and stay gone
Thanks. Yes, that's the first thing I did, until I quickly realized that I didn't like the native full-screen gestures capabilities of Pie. One Hand Operation + does a MUCH better job for gestures IMO.

Download full screen gestures by xda, give it adb permission and you can safely hide the nav bar (make sure to have it enabled first). Hope it helps
Thanks. The full-screen gestures app from XDA doesnt support lanscape mode, at least when I tried it. That's why I switched to One Hand Operation +" which does gestures very well. I'm already using the ADB to enable immersive mode to auto-hide the navigation bar.

I agree. I use full screen gestures to hide nav bar but only actually use One Hand Operation+ for gestures
I'm glad you brought that up. This is exactly what i attempted to do. However, for some reason, Pie Full-Screen gestures will break One Hand Operations + "Right handle" in landscape mode after enabling it for a little while. It looks like a conflict of some kind.
Could you please test One Hand Operations + in Landscape mode WHILE Pie Full-screen gestures is also enabled? The right handle stops working for after a little while of use. I really wish I could figure out a way for both of them to run without conflicts in Landscape mode.
I dont think this happens in One Hand Operations Portrait mode.

Huh. You are right. I almost never use landscape so hadn't noticed ...
Weird issue. Will hooefully be fixed in a future version of OHO+
Thanks for confirming. I don't think I can count on OHO+ ever fixing this bug... since there's no good way to report this bug to the developers.
I probably would be okay with using the native Pie fullscreen gestures. However, oddly it doesn't have haptic feedback for some reason.

You can also try the oneplus gestures app on the play store, you give it adb permission, hide the nav bar, but at the same time keep the oneplus gestures disabled, I'm sure it can work for you
Thanks for the tip. The One + Gestures app looks very similar to the XDA Navigation Gestures app.
There's also an app on the Play Store called, Hide Navigation Bar that ONLY hides the navigation bar using the same technique via ADB without any extra features I won't use.
Does anyone have any experience using the above apps' technique via ADB to hide the Navigation bar on the Note 9? To be honest, I'm a little nervous to try this method to hide the Navigation bar; since there are warnings of unpredictable results for certain features on Samsung hardware... like hiding the last row of pixels of the Navigation bar. It would be good to know from someone who's already tried this on their Note 9 what issues to expect. Also, I'm curious if there's any chance I could irreversibly break an OS component on my phone.
EDIT: I finally tried Hide Navigation Bar. It worked perfectly on my Note 9. I think it might be the only app that hides the navigation bar completely WITHOUT trying to add it's own gesture support. this allows me to use my favorite gestures app, One Hand Operation + (which uses edge gestures, even in landscape, instead of trying to do it the way iphone does).
The only minor issue is that the area that used to be the navigation bar cannot be used for app icons on the home screen. However, in applications themselves, that area is completely useable.

My stock Pixel 5 has been slowly going downhill and I was considering installing a custom ROM in an attempt to breath some new life into it. One of the things I've greatly missed since Google introduced an update is being able to hide the nav bar and use the FluidNG app to customize my gesture navigation. Would installing a custom ROM give me this option again? Or is this limitation something baked into AOSP?

Default AOSP roms do not have that function. I'm using the FNG app as well with a magisk module that disables the native gestures. It's "Fullscreen/Immersive Gesture Tweaks." On the page, there's a disclaimer about Fluid but it's wrong. My settings are Fullscreen > low tolerance > disable back swipe on left and right side. Obviously you need root on any rom that supports Magisk.
