I don't want to root my phone but I want to remove the gesture bar and make the status bar smaller. the problem is that adb overscan no longer works on android 11, anyone knows an alternative?
Also interested in this. It's annoying that the gesture bar takes up space in other apps. Then it looks like you have a black chin. So would love it and also a smaller status bar indeed, so to make the front camera fit exactly. Now you have some space underneath it.
I was thinking about removing that bottom pill, but then I learned about a gesture that's kind of hidden. You can do a quick app change but swiping right on the pill. Does that still work without the nav/pill? It's honestly one of the most useful gestures.
to disable the navbar altogether:
install magisk
open terminal
magisk resetprop qemu.hw.mainkeys 0
reboot
???

OMG dude I'm so sorry, qemu.hw.mainkeys 0 is what reenables it.
You should do qemu.hw.mainkeys 1 to disable the navbar.
Make sure if you're using a 3rd party nav gesture app to enable it and enable 3 button navbar FIRST.
You can still use gestural navigation with this enabled, so you can open the notif shade, enter settings, and revert if something breaks.
MAKE SURE TO READ THE OPTIONS CAREFULLY I'M TYPING THIS FROM MEMORY
Here's a better option:
install magisk
install magisk hide props config
open terminal
Code:
su
props
4
n
qemu.hw.mainkeys
1
y
and you should no longer have a navbar.
you can go back and delete the prop through the props menu to revert

Hello. Idk if you are all still interested in this topic. I have also updated to A11 and i found a relative easy solution. right now im on a Oneplus 7 pro GM1913 OOS 11.0.02.GM21BA with magisk v23 patched boot img no twrp.
I have found the "Fullscreen/Immersive Gesture(Q-S)" Magisk module to help and be a fix for now. You can get it directly through magisk if you search for it. !Important! When installing only choose "Fullscreen" with volume buttons. The others don't seem to work with OOS.

How to Remove Navigation Bar on Non Rooted Pixel 6/Pro (works!)
(disclaimer) I take no responsibility on what following this guide does to your phone. EDIT: So, I found this guide online, tested it out and it works. Quick note on the guide. You'll want to add the "navigation_bar_height_landscape" = 0 in...
forum.xda-developers.com
This one works on android 12
And the best part is, that it doesn't require a root
So, how to remove status bar now ? Or atleast hide it.
Because it's there aaaaall the time...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Navbar Replacement Apps:
-Swipe Navigation
-GMD GestureContol Lite
FYI - Using this method also disables Google now...
I would be suggest removing navigation bar using the layers loophole used by swipe navigation

Does "Swipe navigation" trick work on Android N ? Any other ways to do it on nougat ?

No it does not. I'm also looking for an alternate method. Had it running for awhile on Nougat official release, but if I accidentally long-pressed on any of my Swipe Navigation attempts, it would stop working and I'd be stuck in whatever app I was using. Having to shut down and reboot to get home is not ideal.
it removes the navbar but it also breaks my camera. suggestions?

I see you too had this issue on your moto x style , of the two zip's given which one should I use for my stock 7.0 x style
This methode use to work on my phone prior of Android O. But it completely break my system if when I tried on O DP1-2-3. It wont let me rebooting at all, goes directly in recovery and have to reflash system. I know the thread is concerning N and not O but wondering if anyone would have advise
Is there any other way of removing the nav bar ? I tried substratum to set the size to 0 but that won't work either
You can use a custom ROM, like Pure Nexus.

Immersive mode is one way of doing it but I personally hate it. Swiping the bottom of the screen will bring back the nav bar. When hidden the keyboard won't show. Plus it still doesn't give you back the screenestate, it is simply replaced with a black bar.
Custom ROM like Pure Nexus have the option because they are running N. The build prop mod use to work prior of O. Hope there will be a way of getting rid of that nav bar ! #givemebackpie

Ok, that's personal taste, I do prefer immersive with transparent navbar.
does it also work on Oreo
Currently my nexus 6P is running Oreo, I use the root explorer to add qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1 on Build Pro File, but it turned out bad, my whole system collapsed and I have to reflash the OS. Will this app work in Oreo? Many thanks.
Worked for z5 premium dual 6833 nougat 7.1.2 mokee. and stock sony 7.1.1 different firmwares.
Tnx

Hello all, I'm used to having my back on the right and recents on the left on the nav bar but for some reason Amazon won't let me swap them in the settings. So I tried to the ADB commands
adb shell settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "STRING"
And
adb shell settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space"
But the second command gave me an error and it didn't work. Is there something I'm missing or is rooting my only option?

Even with root swapping back/recents is not easy (reliable) in the absence of a custom ROM or Xposed Framework + GravityBox or similar tool.

Ah, I see. I guess I can root and install Xposed and try it that way. Bit silly that something so basic isn't just included, I really hate FireOS.

Key swapping isn't an option on most stock ROMs. Xposed likely won't load/run well with FireOS v5 not to mention the challenges of installing via FlashFire in absence of a custom recovery. You best option is to go with a custom ROM augmented with Xposed. Still requires root which can only be achieved with on 5th gen devices running FireOS 5.3.1 or lower.
Is there anyway to hide the navigation bar in any app? I'm on the global rom for the US.

Use navigation gesture app from xda google it.
But you need pc to run the adb command which will be prompted by the app...
Once the command is executed grant permission as required.
Root is not required...
Then you can hide the navigation bar and also can use the navigation gesture..
Enjoy !!!
I'm a little new to ADB. I have my red magic 3s in USB debugging mode but when I shift right click in the ADB folder and type ADB devices, powershell doesn't recognize the command. Do I need to download the Nubia USB driver first?
I finally figured it out! This is still much better now! I also bought the pro version of fng. It works great! Thanks again for the recommendation!
2 question:
does actually by rooting Pixel 5 will make loose Google Pay functionality ?
does Bank apps will be affected from root here ?
Whitch methods to 100% make working things above ?
Hi!
For 1) use safetynet fix - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-module-universal-safetynet-fix-1-1-0.4217823/
For 2) use magisk hide feature
This is how it works for me without any issues

can you tell me:
how to force an app in Full Screen ? I can't see any option to make this job.
the best app here to make camera ring notifications ?
Just an fyi, some apps can still detect root. I have root via magisk, safety net fix, magisk hide for apps needing it with safety net passing but Chase app, while it runs, certain features such as points, redemption etc fail with the message about root or malware devices.

Are you talking about the black bar that covers the camera hole in landscape mode? There's a new magisk module that fixes that.
Download the module.zip from here: https://github.com/logmd/N3O-No-Nonsense-Notch-Overlay/releases
Flash that with Magisk Manager and reboot.
Go to settings > system > developer options > scroll down to display cutout > select the Pixel 5 option
That's it, no more black bar

I was shocked this worked so easily, but if yiu go into the terminal just issue this command:
Code:
chmod 440 /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases/dg.db
```
For me Google pay immediately started working, don't really remember where I found this tip somewhere googling...lol so credit to unknown.
I've been successfully able to use GPay and other security/DRM sensitive apps with the folllowing:
Magisk 23001 with MagiskHide and Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.1.1
Magisk 23014 with DenyList and Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.2.0
Use MagiskHide/DenyList on all components of Google Play Services (com.google.android.gms) and Google Play Store (com.android.vending), as well as GPay, banking apps, and DRM sensitive apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, etc.
Hello Folks so I recently stumbled by this post from another device https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...miui-12-5-quickstep-miui-quickswitch.4323747/
I had been testing out a way to get recents from other launchers while running Miui A12.
The post is very helpful and the other things you need are the following :
1- Have a third party gesture app since back gestures won't work.
2- set your launcher before changing recents. This will avoid the launcher crashing message from miui launcher.
3- Have terminal install to run the following command with root :
settings put global force_fsg_nav_bar 1
The command line from the doesn't remove the back bar at the button with this command here it removes it.
4- flash quickstep and go into the app choose your new provider. ( it has to be one the suppers quickstep.
5- reboot
6- run the terminal command
7- enjoy.
Things that dont work:
BACK gestures that's why a third part app is need but the bottom gestures bar works just fine.
