Any good navbar apps? - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

Since the nav soft keys dont have a light behind them on the 8.0 for whatever reason, im trying to find a navbar app. Only problem is that all the ones i have tried dont adjust the screen so things are hidden behind the navbar. Is there any way around that?

I mucked about with the same things, tried gestures as well. Finally gave up and learned to feel for the home button as a guide and slide left or right from it... Been good since. May not be what you want but less hassle.

Notification bar pull-down no longer works

Hey guys. So yesterday all of a sudden I just couldn't pull down the notification bar anymore. After factory resetting my phone it still didn't work so I assume the digitizer is broken.
Now I don't really have money to replace it and I don't want to break even more of my phone so I'm looking for an alternative way to pull down the notification bar which should be working system-wide (maybe through a softkey press or gesture?)
I'm running the latest AOSPA 4.6 Beta 2 if that's of any relevance.
I would be really thankful if someone could help me as it's really annoying to not being able to pull the notifications down.

first, try flashing factory images then test.. if it still doesn't work, its the digitizer.
use a launcher that has a shortcut to pulldown the statusbar, or add a button on the navbar to do it (xposed and some ROMs like slimkat can do that)

I've already tried that, doesn't seem to work for me. The notification bar can be pulled down when in landscape mode. However if the navigation bar is at the notification bars usual spot, it won't work either. So I'm pretty sure it's the digitizer.
I need a system-wide solution so the launcher isn't an option as it would only work on the homescreen. I already looked into xposed modules but I can't seem to find one which allows me to set a button for notification pull-downs.

GravityBox module has navbar customization and if i remember right it has a button (or a tap and hold action) that pulls it down. check that module.
Thanks a lot! That did the trick. I was using Xblast previously and it didn't have such an option. Works just fine in GravityBox! It'll take a while to get used to it but you just made my day.

Black bar in Snapchat?

Hey guys, I was wondering why there is a black bar in Snapchat where the navigation keys would be. The bar disappears when I open a chat with someone and remains hidden as long as I keep the app open. I have the on-screen navigation keys turned off as I use gesture controls on my Nexus 6P.
If someone has figured out how to get rid of this annoying black bar, please let me know.
ikr, its so annoying... i think its cuz of xposed or snappereffs probably

Snapchat always assumes you have a navbar running. Doesn't matter that you disabled it in your case. The new snapprefs module update probably coming soon has a feature to disable it. Otherwise, that's just how the app is programmed.

I should have known, it really is a poorly made app. Eats up my battery like crazy and crashes all the time. Where did you find this information about the new feature in snapprefs? I think I have to give it a shot when it is released.

It's noted in his github. Prefs definitely makes the snapchat experience nicer imo.
change your phone model number from build.prop to htc10 or oneplus 3 , that way snapchat will assume you are using a phone with hardware buttons and you will get rid of the black bars and also cropped video and photo. I have posted something about this problem, you can check it on my posts.

Navigation buttons shifting closer together?

Hello, is anyone else experiencing their navigation bar buttons shifting closer together? If so, please let me know the necessary steps to prevent it from happening. Please note, a restart does nothing. Only by going into settings and changing the navigation bar arrangement but i do not want to keep doing that. Thanks.
It's to prevent 'Screen burn-in'.

Ok, but isnt it supposed to go back after a certain amount of time? Because it does not go back to its original spot.
That's very odd, I've never seen this before. Do you have any statusbar mods installed?

No i do not have any mods on the navigation or status bar. I am using a different launcher (Lawnchair). Ill try and use touchwiz for a few days and see if i can replicate the problem.

(Q) is there a way to disable the swipe in gesture on one side?

Hi all,
I like the back store in gestures, butt I don't need it on the left only the right.
Anyway to disable it?
Cheers in advance
PS: would prefer a mod rather than an app or a file change.
Not sure how simple this is but there are a tonne of apps which have a swipe in gesture for side menus, the XDA app is one of them.
Dont think it's what you want. But ask in here.

Yea I've seen that, it's for two button gestures.
I've been so used to using the FP sensor for my navigation I can't go back to buttons now, plus you lose screen
There really should be a left hand right hand option
You can use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures
On phone settings>navigation bar & gestures>choose navigation bar
On vivid app , disable navigation bar
Set a bottom edge for home and recents gesture
And a right edge for back gesture....

Yea I'd prefer not to have something like that tbh. If there's a way to change a value in a time would be the best option I think.
I just want the left side gesture off.
I'll see if I can find the gesture settings myself, muddy be in an ini somewhere

It's that using the same technology? I thought pixel users used that weird squeeze gesture.
I would never say can't in any way. But thanks for your input.

Hiding The Big Stupid Navbar Android 11

Long story short, Q gestures is absolutely terrible. I use a third party app for navigation. however, EVERY single app I've ever tried seems to be unable to hide the nav bar due Google's screwery. in fact, even Fullscreen Qgestures magisk module does nothing on Ob1.
Does anyone know a definitive way to hide the stupid annoying navbar?
Google have removed the ability to over-scan the display in Android 11 (which is the trick all 3rd party apps used to hide the nav bar); so at the moment there's simply NO WAY to remove it,
I wouldn't mind the built-in gestures so much if there was the ability to turn off the "mini nav bar" which just shows a hide icon every time you use a keyboard. That's the biggest UI issue in my book, it just looks stupid!
Google needs to reverse it back to the way it was...
no updates on this? too bad google removed wm overscan

With magisk you can use module called Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q-R).
Works great, no problems with missing toast notifications etc.
can confirm, that magisk module works perfectly. use your volume keys during install to set the settings. https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/HideNavBar
Has anyone done this to get fng working on an OP8 Pro with latest Android 11?
EDIT: Just read the github. Doesn't work with Oxygen OS.

I absolutely loathe that extra button.
But the slider at the bottom of the screen for gestures I've grown to love.
Knocking it left or right switches apps really quickly and I couldn't be without that now.

The latest version works.
Nice one for this.
Have to keep the OnePlus launcher installed to retain gestures though
Sliding at the bottom still works

I don't understand what you mean: you can define swipes to hide or to reveal the top and/or bottom bars.
No keyboard necessary.

So on nova yes you can but the keyboard will still have the additional bar underneath it.
Nova can't fix that

@dliadz: I see what you mean. The space (and not specific the bottom bar) is there. I didn't even notice it because it doesn't bother me.

Hi,
You can either use fullscreen Gesture magisk module or you can follow this guide below-
How to remove Nav Bar in Android 11
Works perfectly on OP8 Pro with latest Android 11 update. Thanks a lot.
forum.xda-developers.com
In oxygenOS 11 you can hide the bottom space between the keyboard and gesture .... you have that option in your settings under the language and input section.... you can simply search keyboard height adjustment in setting and you'll find it
thank you
Is there a way to auto-hide the nav bar? Ex. On my old phone you could swipe up to show it or tap a dot on the left to stop it from disappearing.
Looks like the only way is to use a different launcher? I tried adding the fullscreen / immersive module but I believe that's just for the keyboard.
