Immersive + gestures - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello,
Im on Android 8.0 and im looking for a way to get gestures on my phone and get rid of the function buttons on the bottom.
i installed an app called: All in one gestures and it works fine but i can't seem to get rid of the 3 buttons
edit: all in one gestures the lower left and lower right seems to be working 3/10 of the time so any suggestions for a app that works!
I used the following command: adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=
but it only removes it from apps and not my home screen, and when i use the swipe from bottom >up gesture the menu comes back
Any tips on what i should do / use?

[Q] Navigation bar alternative ?

Hey, I own a nexus 4 16gb, its rooted.
Anyone knows about a good navigation bar alternative ? i can make it disappear with the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 thing but i couldn't find a way to replace it.
I tried the LMT pie, worked pretty well until i got into a game.. for some reason it doesn't work in games, so i just needed to reboot my phone to quit the game.
I remember that i saw somewhere someone with a navigation bar appearing in the menu of long pressing the power key. anyone know how to do that or have another good alternative for a navigation bar ? Thanks
Aokp rom has buttons in the power menu, or you could use gestures; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontroldemo

Thanks, are there any more alternatives ?
You can try to add a ribbon to a edge of the screen.
Generally I put pie on the right side and a empty ribbon on the bottom which activate the "application window" ribbon when swiping from the bottom to the center of screen.
This option is present in many roms, including one I'm testing right now the Axiom rom.
Also, I activate Pie only in expanded desktop. You can add this action to the power menu, but I don't know how if you're on stock.
That's all I can do since I use LMT on my tablet with Pie installed too, I've never encountered problems.

Navbar Arrow keys on Stock ROM

I have been using Nexus phones for years with custom ROMs that have option to enable arrow keys on the left/right border of the Navbar. This is super adictive feature to move cursor back/forth. Is there any way to get those on S8? I checked numerous apps for customizing the Navbar but didn't find any that could do this. Some keyboards have option to show arrow keys (e.g. Smart Keyboard Pro that I use) but it is not elegant as it takes space vs. the option in Navbar that is sumply so cool... I am not yet ready to move away from stock ROM on my new S8 - maybe once Lingeage will get stable
So, after some more search I found a great solution - Custom Navigation Bar app (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967) that works exactly like I want. I can add the left/right arrows. i am using the following settings:
- Type: Keycode
- Keycode: Dpad Left / Right
- Icon: Chevron left / right
Hope it helps to somebody

Afaik the feature is hardcoded in the OS, not much you can do about it

Possible to clone stock camera on OOS 10?

Hi, i have stock OOS 10 and I am looking for a way to clone the stock camera app (mine is ver 3.0.66) so that i can have a "duplicate" stock camera.
I´m trying to have a duplicate camera so that i can deactivate the main one, thus making it impossible to access it from the lock screen (bottom right corner).
I have tried using App Cloner but the cloned camera doesn't seem to work properly, as some features are not available (such as 1080p 60fps video recording, portrait photos, google lens, and some other settings). I tried playing a little bit with the options but i really have no idea what mos of those are for.
I like the stock camera, it does more than enough for what I want so moving to another one is not an option. Does anyone know how can i properly clone it, or maybe someone can upload a cloned APK ready-to-install?
Thanks in advance!

No interest... Why do complicate when you can do simple
Just use Gesture for Run OOS Cam from the Double Tap bouton ON/OFF
Settings > Button & gestures > "Quickly turn on camera"
(press power button twice for camera)
or
Settings > Button & gestures > Quick gestures > Screeen of Gestures
(Choose a "Draw O/V/S/M/W" shortcut for launch camera, advise the O, gesture is quick and simple)

Thanks, and I'm already doing that, but what I'm trying to do is get rid of the camera shortcut icon on the bottom right corner without having to root. If i disable stock camera, then that shortcut disappears, but I'm left without a camera, and i really like the stock one, that's why i want to clone it with a different package name

Navagation bar

Is there a way to switch the order of the navagation bar on the 2021 Fire HD 10?
Thanks!
I use the following command to rearrange the navigation bar so that the buttons are within reach of my thumbs. Yes there are two Home buttons, for symmetry. I recall there being a quirk in that the command had to be run with the tablet in portrait orientation, to get the right spacing of the buttons.
adb shell settings put secure sysui_nav_bar 'space,space[0.75],back[0.75],home[0.75];space;home[0.75],recent[0.75],space[0.85],menu_ime'
