Hi,
I had the phone for a bit more than a week and yesterday I installed the xiaomi EU ROM. Until now I was using the navigation bar buttons because I hate Xiaomi's launcher, and I thought that with the EU rom the gestures would work with nova like in my previous Oneplus phone. It seems that that's not the case, and if I install Fluid Navigation gestures, even if I give the application root acces the "hide navigation bar" feature does not work. Does anyone else use nova/another third-party launcher and managed to make it work with the vanilla gestures or FNG?
On the other hand, I've seen that that "force dark mode" thing does more harm than benefit, since a lot of times I get dark fonts over dark backgrounds or it even turns some of my dark mode applications to light mode by inverting the colors. I had to go to the dark mode settings and disable every app individually, and if I install a new app I have to go there and disable it. Is there any way (even if it need root or a magisk module) to disable that globally?
Many thanks for your help!

Under settings/display/more dark mode options you have additional settings for each app separately. For some of Google or other apps you have to disable dark mode options because the original dark + miui cast sometimes gives weird results.

That'a a bummer. I'm currently waiting until I can unlock my device and was hoping that the gestures issue would be solved by installing the EU rom as well. I'm currently using FNG + the nav bar but would really like to be able to ditch the bar entirely.
Hoping there will be a fix soon.
Hi,
I know this is a topic that has come a few times. I've been researching this for hours, but I'm at my end's wits. If anyone can solve it, I'd be grateful!
Phone: Redmi Note 10 Pro
My setup: NOVA LAUNCHER
MIUI: 12.5.8
Android 11
FNG app (Fluid Navigation Gestures)
My goal: to have navigation gestures with Nova Launcher without the bottom Android Nav Bar
I am aware that since Android 11, they've blocked the usage of system gestures when using custom launchers (why they did that, I still don't understand, but that's irrelevant.) Up until last night when MIUI updated itself automatically, my current config was working:
NOVA + FNG + switch system settings from BUTTONS to GESTURES.
This was working fine: in the phone settings switching to "GESTURES" would hide the bottom navigation button bar, and FNG would be activating the gestures in place of the system.
But last night's MIUI update now increased the level of difficulty. It is now impossible in the phone settings to select GESTURES when a custom launcher is active. When NOVA is the selected default launcher, tapping on GESTURES in system settings gives this message: "Can't use full screen gestures with third party launchers. Switch to the system launcher and turn on full screen gestures?". Tapping OK will disable NOVA and activate full screen gestures.
So, I'm now stuck with BUTTONS NAV BAR, which not only takes real estate space on the screen, but is just damn annoying.
I have tried using ABD command I found in another thread to hide the Buttons Nav Bar:
adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
But this does not work. I rebooted and all, but buttons are still there.
I do not wish to root the phone because I have never done it in the past, and somehow I fear it would introduce security issues. So I'm desperately trying to find another solution to hide the buttons nav bar.
Any idea?
I have to say, I really do not understand why they are forcing people to use stock launcher with gestures. Why is it a problem that custom launchers use system gestures in the first place? One reason I always enjoyed Android over iPhone is the fact that the system was more open compared to Apple who always made their system so closed and contrived. But I have to say that lately, I have found Android to be more and more annoying when it comes to customization.

nope. it doesnt work.
let me know if u guyz find a solution for stock miui.
one of the reason i put pixel exp on mine.

In my opinion root it and try other ROMs also miui, if you like, you can use it, but with more personally control. Security problem with root?! Only if you allow it....or if you root without read about some hours.

Does the app "vivid navigation gestures" successfully hide the navigation button bar with Android 11 and the latest MIUI 12.5.8 using Nova? I see in your screenshots that the bar is gone and you are using Nova, but are you also using MIUI 12.5.8 with Android 11?

I installed Vivid Navigation Gestures and I followed the ABD command instructions, and it doesn't work for me. The buttons bar is still visible at the bottom of the screen, even after a reboot of the phone. Redmi note 10 Pro. Unfortunately this solution doesn't work for me. I'm glad it works for you, and thank you for the suggestion. It was worth a try.

I think so too... Because like i explained in my original message I normally was able to hide the nav bar by simply choosing "gestures" in the phone settings, but then one update happened and it became impossible to use that trick anymore. Since then, I have tried ABD command with FNG gesture app and that didn't work either. And now ABD command did not work with Vivid App.
So strange that they make it so hard to use gestures and hide nav bar when we use a third party launcher. Why don't they want us to use a third party launcher? It's the whole point of Android to be able to customize it... This is pretty crazy.

Like this
Hide navigation buttons, no MIUI gestures.
If you use something like Piecontrol, Gesture Control or any other app to navigate your phone you might want to disable the navigation buttons. As /system can't be rw mounted we can't edit "build.prop" 1. Magisk, install "MagiskHide Props...

Hi, this helped me: by simply installing this zip in TWRP => TWRP_Hide_Navigation_Bar_v1.0.zip
INFO: Installing the zip again will unhide the navigation bar (revert the change).
EDIT: My zip (to install in TWRP) doesn't work for devices shipped with Android 10(+). Workaround: Magisk! Install Magisk and this Magisk module => Hide_Navigation_Bar_v1.0-Magisk.zip
.., but to another phone (Redmi T9 Pro) Miui 12.5.6
( https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...2-5-stable-release.56191/page-255#post-610901 )
Hi,
I've read many things about that, but for me, colling from a Oneplus 9 pro, the problem is new...
I use nova launcher, and navigation gestures are so laggy...
Is the a way to solve that?
Same here, so laggy and can't seems to find a solution
There is no solution -- it's a known issue with 3rd party launchers that there's a delay on returning to home. Get the same on Lawnchair 12 a5, Nova7 and others.
500ms delay or so on returning home
I am coming from Xiaomi 11 Ultra, on Android 12 with Nova launcher and it is working fine there. I can also use Fluid Navigation Gesture.
Sad about the Oppo find x5, feels like a slower device because of this.
Read somewhere that said when returning, it would show recent items. If you go to Nova Settings, Home Screen, Scroll and set Transition effect to 'none', that gets rid of that

I can confirm this is not working. I'm using S21 Ultra and Nova 7.0.57.
I found something that could maybe help somebody else: it appears the issue with the home gesture only applies if you actually use the swipe up gesture.
I'm using Edge Gestures (app from Google Play, no root required) to swipe down from the sides to expand notifications. If I use this app to also invoke going back to Home (I'm using the swipe up gesture from the sides) the lagging issue does not occur.
I'm also using for all the other swipe left and right gestures, and it's great having to go back to Home in a snappy way at least for now.

Hello, I just got me a Y700 yesterday and after updating to ZUI 14, I started having a annoying bug that I was wondering if it's my update that went bad or if someone else has it too. If I try to use a custom launcher, the swipe up action to go to home or open recent apps, the default launcher's icon bar appears partially but the action doesn't work. Only happens with custom launchers, on the default one the bar appears fully and doesn't block the gesture. Does anyone else have this problem? Just asking before I do a factory reset if it's a problem only with mine. Attaching video showing the behavior. Video showing the problem

I have the global rom and I had issues with nova so I just use the stock launcher.
Yes, this tablet has issues with third party launchers -- any flavored Android ROM really starting Android 11. However the issues on this one is more pronounced since you are unable to use the swipe up to home gesture at all. Either stick to buttons or use the default launcher.
So I'm not sure if it's the rom or nova, but after flashing to the stock chinese rom, I can now use Nova launcher (beta) and it seems to function correctly.

Ahh yeah.. makes sense. With the nav buttons, there's a fourth button for the dock on the right hand side that you can't get rid of, whether you're using the stock launcher or a custom one. Not a big deal.

They (Lenovo) probably didn't modify the stock chinese ROM too much since AOSP doesn't have problems with custom launchers, or the Nova beta launcher took care of the issues.
