What's wrong here? - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

See screenshot.
I have a large gap under the keyboard and a central bar. Is that the navigation bar?
I've factory reset the phone this morning and I don't remember it being like this before.
I'm fully up to date, rooted with Magical and use 'Immersive Gestural Navigation Bar'.
Does this look like the module isn't working properly?
Cheers

Ignore me!
Was browsing the Magisk modules and found 'Fullscreen Gestures'. That solved the issue.

DELETE Nav bar, No softkeys, WHOLE screen.. goodness!!

SO I often find that on these forums peoples good work needs to be brought together in a nice little package. I have done ZERO developing, but a few good blokes have done some framework edits, and a few apps made, and now here we have it...
NO MORE SOFTKEYS, ENTIRE SCREEN USAGE, and some amazing alternatives to the softkeys
*** requires root ****
Tutorial:
1. Find an alternative you like (MUST DO THIS FIRST OR COULD BE STUCK WITHOUT ANY BUTTONS!!!!):
-I personally use "GMD gesture control", its wonderful, youtube it. They also have a lite version you can try. For full version it costs 5$ but its wondeful. four finger pinch is home, 3 finger swype down is back, and you can add custom geatures. Highly reccomended
-button savior, this and the other 2 to follow are more traditional hide nav, bring nav back. I havn't used them but they have good reviews
-gesture LMT
-gesture+pie LMT
2. I'm aware this is from samsung nexus forum, but me and many others can confirm it works the same for the nexus 7. Download the apk that pushes the modified framework. even the app warns you to have a secondary means of "buttons" before you continue. But simply instal app, open app, and click the uninstall nav bar. THEN... reboot and your set
-download the link "FullScreenToggleV2.apk -Support4.1 XDA link"

I'd just make a backup of the rom and revert back to that if you don't link. But me likey, me likey so much Thanks for all the great work boys
By 'DELETE Nav bar' do you mean the Notification bar or are you calling the softkey area the Nav bar? With a custom launcher, such as Nova, you can hide the notification bar. Interesting idea, but I think I want the softkeys.
Edit: I see that the area is commonly called the navigation bar. There is another good thread on this topic in this forum which just calls for a build.prop edit if you are rooted.

Status Bar and Notification Bar

My status and notification bars spread out and leave gaps.
How can I fix this?
I'm using apps which you can see in my screenshots.
Thank you in advance
I see that you're using Xposed and some modules. Did you install any module that uses/enhances/changes functionality of a Statusbar?
Maybe it's the StatusbarVolume?
I suggest disabling them in Xposed and then after reboot verify if the problem is still there. Most likely you will find the cause.

okay I turned off a few xposed modules and a few apps. that didn't work.
I actually installed all those apps during one day. Then I remember it happening quite early on during the day.. and one of the first programs I installed was elixir. After uninstalling elixir 2 I found out this app was the problem.
I installed it again and the problem reappeared after I tried to set a 'status bar'
Anyway, what Elixir 2 actually does is leave a completely transparent icon in the notification bar. I removed this with 'notifyclean'.
I'm definitely not a technoob, just a 1 week old root noob. Thanks for heading me in the right direction. Giving you a 'thanks'
Addition Info:
In fact, Elixir decided to stop working after using notifyclean. Elixir is okay but seems like I'm gonna just have to get rid of if since I really like notifyclean.
No problem, glad you sorted that all out

Missing navigation bar button icons

Has anyone else had this weird issue? Recently I applied a Samsung theme from the store and the navigation bar button icons dissappeared but the buttons are still there and functionable. Tried re enabling all disabled apps, wiping cache from bootloader, rebooting, applying stock themes, just about everything. Factory reset fixed the problem but than it reoccurred. Going to follow up with a screenshot.
Did you double tap the dot in the left corner of the nav bar?
If so, swipe up from the bottom, the nav bar should appear, double tap the dot again.

Thanks for the reply, I'm not missing the navigation bar. It's just not displaying anything in it. Just looks like a transparent bar. The only thing I can see is the little dot on the left to lock it. Screenshot below.

So, it now does it without applying a theme?

I can't get the icons to show up again without factory resetting the device, soft reset does nothing.. Tried restoring from backup that occurred before applying the theme, and it's still broken. Re enabled all disabled packages, no luck..
Ok, that is an odd one.
Hope you get it worked out. I'll keep looking.

How about in Safe Mode? If it doesn't there... youll know it's an app... or something after your initial setup.

Still occurs in safe mode Thanks for the suggestion though.
Same thing happened to me when I installed one of the black navigation apks on here. Factory reset was the only way I was able to get them to reappear.
are u using transparent navbar overlay apk ?
u can just uninstall the apk app from settings then reboot. icons will show

I was using a black navbar overlay apk, however I tried removing it and rebooting without any success. What's interesting is that I just Factory reset my phone and the black option for navigation bar still persists. Did they add that back in or something?

they had black in factory rom, but when u update firmware it'll be gone. i think.
Sometimes my nav bar icons would dissapear when my blue light filter was turned up very high.

Did you by any chance install a transparent navigation bar apk? I found one and installed it and this same thing happened. I went onto Settings/apps and found the com file, Uninstalled it and rebooted and it went back to stock.
It's possible one of the overlays I installed in substratum contained a transparent nav bar and I didn't notice or something, so maybe by removing the black navbar and rebooting I wasn't addressing the real problem. That sounds feasible, in the end I ended up just doing another factory reset and all is good. Thank you guys for all of the suggestions, I'm fairly certain this was the issue. So maybe avoid transparent nav bars for now

Navbar weirdness

I installed some mod that made my navbar look and act weird. Basically, after installing a certain mod (can't tell which one actually), the navbar looks like this:
I wouldn't mind it too much but the fact the home softkey is not perfectly centered annoys me. Also, on this navbar, clicking the home softkey plays the little animation with the four google dots, another thing that I don't really like.
If I go to Settings, Apps & Notifications, Default Apps, Assist & Voice Input, and change it say to Firefox, and then back to None, the navbar becomes normal again.
But at reboot I get the crappy misaligned one again. I don't use any Assist&Voice Input app, so I set it to none. I also deleted the Google App and Assistant and everything else related to it, because I don't use that stuff.
Like I said, I think a mod that I installed caused this issue. It could have been Pix3lify or the modded Xperia Home with the pill navbar. I removed both mods but the navbar goes back to the weird one after any reboot, so maybe a leftover from one of these mods is still in my system, but I can't find it. How can I restore the default navbar without doing a factory reset? Unfortunately I don't have a backup and I would rather avoid the factory reset. Again it's not a big deal, but I would like to fix it.
While this might not be a perfect solution, you can modify the looks of the navbar with a substratum theme.
Such as this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rc.navigate
This is the substratum theme engine, and it requires root on android 9 and up:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum
If you need more info about substratum look in the app's description or just ask here.

Could be a solution, but I don't feel like installing more stuff on my phone. Do you know which file is responsible for the navbar's appearance?

Sorry, I don't know that.
Maybe this article about modifying the stock navbar can be useful?
https://www.xda-developers.com/add-custom-buttons-to-nav-bar-on-samsung-galaxy-s8-galaxy-s8/
Or this one:
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...icons-or-re-arrange-the-buttons-without-root/
They might mention it somewhere.
Weirdly enough, if I use Substratum, the theme I set appears on top of the crappy navbar, and by that I mean that I see both at once once. Guess I'll have to factory reset huh
I was bored today so I came back to this issue. I reflashed System with flashtool, which brought back all the bloatware obviously, but the navbar stays in its weird mode. If I create a new user, the new user gets a normal navbar. If I enable Google and the search assistant, the navbar stays weird on reboot but as soon as I start Google, the navbar becomes normal again.
Anyone know a possible solution to this puzzle?

Just do a full reset and start from scratch. No one likes doing them, but sometimes it's the only option.

Magisk hide list gone?

Got a banking app that's detecting Magisk. Previously all I had to do was add it to the magisk hide list, but I can't find the list in the new manager (v 8.0.3) - there's just a magisk hide toggle, no option to set which apps it's hidden from. Feel like I must be missing something really simple...any advice?
At the bottom of the Manager there's a small navigation bar. Pick the second from the left, the shield, and you'll find the hide list there.
Thank you for this. This is the first time since I recently started looking into Magisk for the last 21 days that I see this navigation bar. I just really thought the hide list from 7.x was gone. Talk about bad UI/UX.

This is all I really needed to make my banking apps work again even tho I don't pass ctsProfile. I can't stress enough how thankful I am! I know it's hard to believe but I really didn't see that navigation bar for 3 freaking weeks! I can't believe it myself but that's what it is.
