Hello there, Im having a weird issue with PIE, whether it's SLIMpie, PA's PIE or even LMT Launcher's PIE controls - I usually set my PIE trigger area at the Bottom, when triggering it it doesn't really work perfectly unless I trigger it from the very left side of the bottom of my screen, it doesn't really work well at the center and right bottom of it - Unless I set the trigger area as MAXIMUM.
If I set the default settings but on the Right or Left area, it works perfectly, is it a problem with my screen ?
And NO, I dont like the area to be maximumly triggered since it conflicts a little bit with the Launcher's dock, where it becomes a little slacky

Just because bottom part screen has the GOOGLE SEARCH. I mean when you slide your finger upwards from bottom of the screen the GOOGLE SEARCH ring appears..
Also check this. I am on Slim ROM,
the trigger gravity should be 75%
trigger thickness should be 40%
This settings is what I use and all working fine here.

Works fine for me.
It could be an issue with the digitizer on your touch screen.
Test:
Load the app "dev tools" and click on pointer location
Note that if activating pie it doesn't show the pointer tail so start in the center of the screen.
Drag from the center down to the bottom and drag it across the bottom end of the screen to make sure that you are actually getting touch detection at the bottom.

Rather than using soft keys, a rather elegant and simple solution would be to use gestures to emulate the missing hardware buttons. You could have a program that runs in the background and attempts to detect a 3-finger swipe for "back" and perhaps a 4-finger tap for the "menu". This method would even work for full-screen apps. Does such an app exist?
Currently the software on the nook only recognizes two fingers, so those specific gestures are out for now.
However I saw someone mention that running your finger right to left across the status bar in 1.2 stock works as a "back" gesture

Well, I'm talking about a general Android app running on a rooted NC and not the preloaded software. It would have to be a low-level program that would intercept all touch-screen activity and detect if any of the selected gestures were performed. If not, then pass the touchscreen activity to the currently running app.

It was that way in the older versions too. Pretty cool trick.
After Murdock's mod, softkeys are pretty nice.
there is an app called zmooth on the market.
zmooth rocks! Been using it for a while. Just made is very slim, and I put it on the bottom of the screen. Works great!

Funny thing is, that's in the manual
And it works for any non-full screen app on stock. I use Zeam on stock (never touch the home launcher), but the B&N status bar is always there anyway. As long as it's not full screen, you can use the right-to-left swipe to go back.
My Nexus 4 has Stock ROM Android 4.3 & the Navigation bar at the bottom does not respond to touch in Portrait position but works in Landscape position for applications where I can use the Landscape mode. In the Landscape mode the screen rotates the position of the Navigation bar.
I have through the developer option selected the Show Touches option which shows me the exact touch position on screen as a blob. In the portrait position I can see the touch points on the Navigation bar the home screen works for Google Now but the back & task do not work however I can see from the Show touch it registers the touch but no execution of the command happens. The same Navigation bar in Landscape mode works perfectly as required. These developments are after the OTA 4.3 upgrade. Can someone help me to either remove the navigation bar in the Stock ROM Android 4.3 as now I have an application from Google store called Button Saviour (Non Root) working perfectly. I have also observed that the due to the Show Touch option activation it generates sometimes on the navigation bar area on the extreme left a clear Show touch blob where as there is no one touching the screen. This Show touch blob sometimes rapidly oscillates horizontally in the Navigation bar area & which ever icons it crosses it automatically triggers them as well randomly. On touching the screen in the Navigation Bar at that time does not make the back or task button work but without touching I can the Show touch blob while oscillating managing to make it work while crossing over the respective button icons.
So the hardware does not seem to be the issue but some bug in the new 4.3 which is triggering this weird behaviour. I use the Nexus 4 mostly in Portrait mode hence it is frustrating to now suddenly not have the Navigation bar functional the way it was suppose to work. Can some one help & guide me on what to do to resolve this problem.
The softkeys are enabled within the framework.

same issue here even i try a factory reset
I flash the stock rom again and no clue of what to do
The exact same issue here, started behaving quirky since 4.3 and went bat**** crazy after the update second 4.3 ota (1.8mb patch google released recently). i used developer options to show the on screen touch blobs as well and it registers touches in the nav bar area, it just will not work in portriat (or rather that section of the screen) It is extremely frustrating.
I even went as far as to use adb and fastboot to restore my phone to stock 4.3 which would remove all files and place a stock 4.3 directly from dev.google but still It doesn't work.
The same issue
Im having this exact issue just a few days after i install a new update i hope that its a software issue :crying: and if is not warranty will cover it?
Navigation Bar issue
Same problem here , wont respond on portrait mode.
I did try to downgrade my android version to 4.2.2 (from 4.3) after the factory reset did not work, that did not work either.
Any ideas? could use some help
I have the same problem, I tried to restore the 4.3, the 4.2, but the problem remains, I also tried the cyanogenmod and 4.4, but it still does not work the navbar in portrait mode ..
No one knows a solution to the problem? You may have a hardware problem? Who takes care of the navbar?
Having the same issue here. Works in Landscape but not portrait. It went spastic this morning randomnly opening the clock and pullin the bar down itself. Show touches showed it registering touches all around the nav bar then suddenly it stopped. I cant use the bar now at all in portrait but the random touches are gone. I downloaded a touch detector and it shows all the way up to where the nav bar would be then deadzone, but fine in landscape again
anyone know a solution to the problem? I tried to put the last KRT16S factory image, but the problem is always the same ...

Before update to 4.4, I installed purity rom, and in purity system settings there was option to change navigation bar height. Default height is 48dp, but you can change to 52dp and the buttons working. Not ideal solution, sometimes you must to hit button few times, but it's working!
But, after I update my N4 to 4.4 kitkat, and install purity rom for 4.4, there is no option to set button height to 52dp (max heigth is 48dp-default height) I hope so that purity rom will be updated and return option to set to 52dp.
Same issue here
Tried lot of things still not working .........
pls someone find the solution.......

I think it's a hardware problem. Mine just went bad as well.
I have this problem now, too. Google now NAVRING still works to open Google Now from the middle nav button, which is why I do not understand why they nav bars do not work at seemingly the bottom of the screen. It just seems like that part of the screen has died, though some times it randomly works....... what the hell is this?
Huawei ascend mate navbar problem
I have same problem. And not only that my landscape control also got messed up After factory reset.
Also when I try to scroll down the web page in landscape mode it dosent work on the same area. So does this mean screen is screen is not registering my touch.
Some times the middle button start acting funny. It operates by itself even the internet is off. Like virus or some thing I did checked with antivirus nothing found. After activating show touch option it is shows Google shortcut is always pressed.
Dont know how to fix. Dont know the reason pls. Help. Xda.
Do you use dt2w? For me, after enabling that feature this would happen after a while. The borders of the screen would become unresponsive. I disabled dt2w, rebooted and it was fine again.

Hi to everyone!
I have the same problem since some days with the nav bar on stock 4.4.2. Factory reset + rom flash via fastboot + CM 11 innstallation did not help at all. I'll bring my Nexus 4 today back to the retailer for reparation / replacing.
I'll inform you guys about the report of service center but it can take up to 45 days.
Thanks. This works for me

Hi, I was facing the same issue on my mako. It just started without any notice. Being a flashaholic I thought it could be due to something I installed. Tried a lot of differnt ROMS including stock but no luck. Read somewhere about the "Show touch" function in the developer options and found that almost 7.5mm of the bottom of screen was not responding to touch. I then installed the stock 4.4.3 ROM, rooted it and installed gravity box. In Gravity I changed the navigation bar height to 120% and selected "keep at bottom" for landscape. I am now able to use the phone. I wish some custom ROMS start implementing 52dp height option so we could use these directly. I tried using gravity with Mahdi ROM but there is some conflict and I cant see the recents button. Also, the NB reverts to original and it needs to be enabled again manually
But thanks anyways. I dont want to buy a new phone for the next 6 months and this will work well for me.
Cheers
I only tried to use this feature on my S5 a couple times, but my wife would like to use this feature on her new N4. I find that starting the One-handed operation function on both the S5 and N4 using the touchscreen gesture described in the enabling setting screen rarely works. It takes a bunch of swipes before the reduced One-handed screen appears.Very annoying and defeats the purpose of the feature as you actually have to try to enable it using two hands. I didn't even try to master using this feature given that it's so hard to get it started. I thought it was an issue with my S5, but after trying it on the N4... I had the same results. Is there a shortcut to enable this feature other than that the swiping gesture? Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Im sure you dont swipe correctly, for me it work all the time, just swipe your finger from screen edge to the middle then back to the screen edge with a horizontal way! Its not a V-like swipe, its like a hohorizontal "I" swipe just try it until you get it working!
Good luck!

Yes, I'm swiping correctly, but it's not very reliable it works only 1 out of 6 or 7 times. I have a wallpaper with a straight line down the middle and I swipe over that straight line to the middle of the screen from the edge of the screen and back. Of course in a horizontal I. It would be nice if this feature had a toggle in the top bar pull down to turn it on/off. I'm hoping a Xposed Module developer notices this deficiency and comes up with a module with shortcut solution.
You have to start at edge of screen then finish at edge of screen, which can be a problem if you have a case. Doesn't hurt to actually go past the center either.
I can do it pretty consistently, and the times I fail I know it's because I hit the rim on the case and didn't swipe all the way to edge.
So far Oreo is a noticeable improvement in battery and lag. But... Something has changed when using Instagram. The home touch buttons are now too closely overlayed over the Instagram buttons. They're literally on top of each other down there at the very bottom of the phone, With each button ust slightly to the left of each other. The result is that you're constantly hitting the wrong button, no room at all for error.
As a remedy I installed the XDA gestures app but that has a new slide bar that sits right in the center of the screen when using Whatsapp so that you cant see what you're typing. I have to tilt the phone in landscape to get the bar out of the text input box. Any suggestions?
I experience the same issue in both vanilla instagram and GBinsta.
Another issue is that Google Assistant is also right in top of the LG home touch buttons so that it blocks me using the screen capture/screenshot button. I have to do the fingerprint button+volume button thing. Otherwise the related searches pull up results take up half the screen so I cant screen capture. Google must really want us to buy Pixel phone...
What models are yall using? I'm on H918 Oreo using the small display size and my instagram works just fine.
I don't use Instagram all that much but I just went to check out this issue.
The thing that I noticed right off the bat was that if you have the "Home Touch Buttons" set to hide then when you use Instagram they will almost completely overlap when dragged up.
Solution: Use the little square dot in the bottom left corner (tap to change the state) to keep the Home Touch Buttons from hiding. They will nicely reside under the Instagram app and not be overlapped. When done with Instagram just tap the square to go back to the hidden state.
Hopefully this will be of use to you.

The navigation gestures on the 8 Pro are usable. However, I dislike the swiping to go back. It doesn’t allow for access to slide out menus from the side on different apps. On the 6T, you would swipe up on the right or left hand side to go back keeping the sides of the screen free. Is there anyone who would be able to somehow pull the navigation gestures that were on the 6T to be used on the 8 Pro?
I had asked this twice already and so far I've been told it's not possible just downloaded fluid navigation gestures and set them up and you're good to go.
There are alternatives when it comes to the swiping (All in one gestures/Vivd etc.) They do that job well in my opinion.
The thing they all have in common is that they need that area in the bottom to function, and for my case that messes with the lower end of my keyboard.
I enjoy having the swiftkey keyboard dragged down all the way to the bottom of the screen.
If someone is able to pull the OP gestures and somehow make it available as a module or whatever, I would surely donate some coffee..
This is almost a dealbreaker, and I miss my 7 Pro which also have them.

the application itself one setup does perform like the regular OnePlus just the sensitivity area of where you're swiping up from kind of makes it like a dead zone for touching on other spots underneath the swipe area. But you can configure your sensitivity area I have mine set to a little bit of past half so this way I get the best of both I get my swipe gestures and I can still access the stuff that's underneath them. I also left the right side back gesture available so this way if it doesn't function properly on the bottom I still got the side.

Are you able to use root to hide the system navigation bar? It hides it for a second for me but it doesn't stay hidden which is frustrating. Unless that's a pro feature?

Yes you can here is a screen shot of mine all set up and nav bar hidden with root. Here is how mine is all set up I set my wife's the same way she likes it and is new to OnePlus this 8 Pro is her 1st she was looking forward to OnePlus system navigation gestures but you know no dice. Mine stayed hidden all the time after I set I rebooted and haven't had a issue yet.
