I noticed this issue after froyo and numerous fresh restarts.
The bottom dock bar of the x(philblur/motoblur) is not working properly. Usually when you switch screens the home button, phone button, and contacts button, slide down and another bar replaces it(the one with the dots representing which number screen you are on). Now what it does is that that the innitial bar never goes away and the screen bar just goes over the first bar and you can see the 1st bar in the backround. This especially looks odd when you go to delete an icon or widget because the trash can just sits on top of the little triangle icon which brings up your apps. Anyone else have this issue and know what the cause or fix is?
There are no icons in my status bar except some at the top right which I can't press. It's blank. Anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
I'm running Paranoid Android 4.6BETA6 on OnePlus One. Also the home button doesn't work (has feedback but does bring it to the home screen)
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I took a screenshot of the status bar (running Onyx theme to see if that fixed it, it didn't).
EDIT 2: Well, it has notifications through the pick up setting, but still not in the status bar. Also the lock screen won't trigger unless I restart my phone.
EDIT 3: Ahh, a factory reset fixed it, sorry for the question (and the very obvious answer), I just didn't want to lose my data.
Hi guys, so with emui 5.0 you can hide the navigation bar but I noticed that it interferes with the bot part of the screen for instance when I press the space bar if I go too low it won't get pressed so I'd like to permanently disable them without root.
I noticed that there's a new guide that came out just a couple of days ago that involves adb but it would appear that it doesn't work on my nate 8. I set it to 1 and then reboot but nothing happens. Navigation bar is bad as usual.
Is there anything else that I can try without root?
First of all, it's important that this mod isn't for everybody, because it hides the status bar as well, to fill the entire 18.5:9 screen with content. It looks very immersive, as if the entire front side of the phone is display, because the top bezel is about as thick as the status bar would be, and the bottom bezel is about as thick as the navigation bar would be. I don't find the status bar to contain any info that I need to view all the time, if I want to view the time, battery percentage or notifications, I'll just slide down from the top to show the status bar.
I've added the TouchWiz launcher as an exception, because even if the status bar and navigation bar are hidden, the empty area where they would be stays there. View attached screenshot 1 to see what this mod looks like in-app, and screenshot 2 to see what it looks like on the home screen.
Steps:
1.Install ADB, and open the ADB terminal. Steps to install are here: https://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
2. When you have opened the terminal and connected your phone in USB debug mode, enter this code to the terminal, and press enter:
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
3. After this, you will notice, that the navigation bar and status bar will disappear on your phone on all apps. Now enter this code to the ADB terminal, to re-enable them on the TouchWiz launcher:
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=apps,-com.sec.android.app.launcher
If you're using a third party launcher, it most probably won't need the navigation and status bar, because it will probably adapt to the changes by stretching. But if you want to show the bars on a custom launcher, just replace "com.sec.android.app.launcher" in the piece of code above with the package name of the application where you want to show the bars in.
To disable the mod, just enter this code to the ADB terminal:
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
Additional tip to ease navigation when the navigation bar is gone, use an app called All in one gestures, found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures&hl=en
You can see how I set up the app in attached screenshots 3-6, I set up the left edge swipe to act as a press of the recent apps button, and the right edge swipe to act as a press of the back button. I'm using the pressure-sensitive home button as a home button, because a hard press of the place where the home button would be acts as a press of it. Navigating with edge swipes is super easy on the S8 because the edge is very comfortable to swipe from, I find it even more intuitive than using the navigation bar to navigate. I hope that you enjoy this mod as much as I do, I've been using it for weeks now. :good:
thank you
Hi there,
i recently got my new phone - sgs8. The display format is not allways that usefull since most apps will left a black bar because they where made for 16:9 and not 18,5:9.
Anyway there is a way where it could be very useful - multiwindow.
Well its a nice function especially with that long screen. Sadly there is the Navigation bar which eats up about 0,4inc/1cm of the screen.
By now i have tried all the steps @ gadgethacks and above.
I was able to remove the Navigation bar on homescreen (where i actually don't need it to be gone - so i reactivated it for the specific launcher)
but not in multiwindow. Whatever i do, whatever launcher i use (nova,apex, standard) the white bar (not allowed yet to post link/picture) wont disappear.
Is there a way to get rid of it as well?
thx
recently flashed my s10+ to remove carrier branding and now sometimes i find that the navigation bar when completly hidden, swipe from bottom. sometimes locks its self and wont work at all i have to go to settings and change the navigation bar.
Using nova launcher but hasn't seemed like an issue before, but could also be from the january update? does anyone else have this similar issue when using the navigation bar as guestures swiping from the bottom of the screen?
