I bought the g5+ for my dad and would really like to have one button nav AND the nav bar enabled.
I guess what I really want is the ability to wake the phone using the finger print sensor WITHOUT having a fingerprint lock (old person doesn't want it)
but still have the nav bar available. Is this possible without root?
Thanks!

Id like to know if its possible to add a navigation bar, I have root and xposed.
Ive found that if you use goodlock with gravity box it works flawlessly, however will it burn into the screen?
I've tried this too, but I didn't like that the navbar is persistent. I'm used to swiping upwards to get the navbar on my old nexus 6.
I'm on the latest RR, 5.3.8. Finger print function works, but there's no addition settings available to do other things once the phone is unlocked (gravitybox added some additional functionality, but no xposed in 7).
I've tried several apps that let you configure additional functions to the finger print once unlocked. The entry i'm using is 'toggle notifications'. This works, but seems to add significant lag when unlocking the phone, requiring at least 2 taps to unlock.
Any thoughts or suggestions for achieving this? Ideally it'd be nice to do a slow double tap - first to unlock, second to toggle the notification without having to move my finger from the back to the front.
hello try to download the NExt lockscreen in Play store..work wonders for me...
Is this app similar to widget locker from years past?
I don't know if I want a full blown lock screen replacement. When I did have widgetlocker instsalled, i used the same apps as were on the home screen. Layout was very similar. Really all I want to do is use the fingerprint reader as another button. It's far more convenient to tap it once unlocked than to move fingers to the front of the phone to swipe the status bar down.

no the Next lockscreen apps is quite customizable its overright the zte lockscreen straight away and not drain your phone battery whatsoever
My previous phone was a HTC One (M8) and the HTC software gave me the option to add a lock button in the navigation bar. I've grown very used to having one right there and I miss it this handy feature with my new LG G6, particularly because the hardware lock button is less accessible.
Is there an easy way of doing this without rooting and going the ROM root? I've tried installing the SystemUI Tuner but it does not have an option to add a new button to the navigation bar.
For what you need exactly, i think is hard.
But why do you need it? Just double tap in the status/notifications bar. Also, in Home and if using a custom laucher, double tap also should work.
For now just using knock on and knock on and off by double tapping status bar is what I do.
Thanks for the replies. I didn't realize you can knock the status bar to lock.
It's definitely a good temporary measure that I'll be using for now. Unfortunately, my hands can't comfortably reach the status bar to knock it, so I'll still be on the look out for a way to add a lock button to the navigation bar.
Hi guys,
I have a Pixel 3 and really like One Plus gestures as you can use the phone without nav bar and get more screen state.
I have been trying some apps but I have a question and would like to know if it is the stock behavior.
Apps I have been trying are:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid&hl=en_US
I think they all work fine, but they all have a "activation area" which is just a bar (around 60px height) in the botton of the screen, where the gestures are detected.
But I cannot click anything under that area, I mean if there is something "under" that small area I have to swipe so it goes up and I can click it.
Is that behavior normal in the one plus? I dont think so.
Best regards
I just checked on the native gesture behavior and as far as I can tell, there is no reserved activation area for the OP6T gestures and anything around the bottom-most part of the screen can still be tapped. Each requires the swipe to actually activate.
Anyone know how/if Pie's screen rotation lock works with OP5? It is supposed to put an additional icon in the navbar, but since the OP5 already has a hardware navbar is there something that can be done short of enabling the soft navbar (which is dumb and redundant)
I to have been trying to figure this out. Unfortunately it seems like nobody has figured out how to do this with any device with hardware button's without using the soft navbar.
I have only used the screen rotation lock/unlock via the quick tiles. I have the fast pull down feature so its just a swipe from the top and tapping on the icon.
