I just received the official Android 9 (Pie) update. After updating, I went to the settings and enabled the "Swipe up home button" gesture.
It disables the default navigation buttons, and enables the new bar at the bottom. However, the lights of the default navigation buttons are still responding to the touch, and I cannot seem to turn it off.
Is anyone else facing the same issue? What should I do to disable those?
You can't disable the lights without root , Xiaomi made it like this.

I have cm7.2 with tablet tweaks for soft buttons on the status bar. I want the status bar always on. The hide button (far right) pops up and disappears intermittently.
Is there any way to turn off the hide button permanently? When it pops up, it shifts all of :he other status bar content to the left, which is distracting. Also sometimes it pops up suddenly right as I go to press the notification button and then I accidentally hide the status bar because the hide button suddenly appears where the notification button was.
Can't find anything in cyanogenmod settings. Someone help?
Is there no way to do this?
There's no way to do this. There are some applications that expect true full screen. In Honeycomb and ICS the OS itself removes the status bar/soft key area from the available screen real estate and "dims" the contents of the status bar when an application requests full screen.
In Gingerbread (the basis for CM7), this isn't available in the core OS, so Mad Murdock (the developer of TabletTweaks) implemented the best solution he could...basically the ability to suppress full screen for apps that can adapt that that and otherwise to give the user a chance to enter and leave full screen.
There are still bugs in this implementation because of the limited hooks for intercepting these full screen requests and switches in and out of full screen. As a result, you'll see some apps that don't look quite right when this feature is enabled even when you go full screen, and you'll also see that sometimes the full screen soft key gets into a confused state and displays when it shouldn't and vice-versa. This can ultimately lead to an FC in the StatusBar process.
What I do is turn off the "Disable full screen" feature under CM7 and use either Button Savior or the extended Power Menu buttons (mostly Button Savior these days) to provide access to Home/Back/Menu when an app runs full screen. It's not a perfect solution, but it's more stable and still gives me non-intrusive access to soft keys.
That's a fair enough solution. I do see the FCs often for statusbar. Thanks for the input.
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.
So I just got gravity box and was messing around with it. Found the custom nav key setting which I found pretty cool. But after enabling it, I find that the home and recent button on the nav bar would appear with a slight delay after unlocking the device from sleep. The Back button would behave normally...only the recent and home button. I tried wiping cache. disabling Gravitybox and disable custom nav key. Problem still persists. help
Hello,
My team lead has a OnePlus two and had a question so I told him I'd find out. He's severely vision impaired and currently using a OnePlus 2 with the latest Oxygen. Something that annoys him is how the fingerprint reader works as a home button because he accidentally bumps into it all the time while using the device. He's currently got the whole thing disabled, however he'd like to use the fingerprint unlock functionality while not enabling the home button. Is there a way to do so?
Thanks
Of Course there is. Go into the button settings where on-screen nav bar is enabled. There will be an option to enable physical home button with on-screen nav bar. Disable it.
Enabled immersive to hide the navbar. I also have an app that does this, but getting the soft keys to not display when you swipe up is what I am trying to accomplish.
I have an app called OnePlus gestures to enable gesture Nav, have the Navbar hidden, but when swiping, the soft keys keep appearing. Also tried the hw key build prop file set to 1, doesn't work at all to disable them.
The Oneplus app from the store has a navbar hid feature that disables it, but it seems to have broke something with my AOD substrate I like to run and the percentage disappears on the AOD screen now at the bottom, something with the overlay I guess on the latest build.
Anyway, if someone know how to disable the softkeys so I can just use Gestures...would be great...the navbar hide function, no problem..but the soft keys annoying reappearing is the issue now.
Thanks
If your using an essential phone try adb shell wm overscan 0,-143,0,0. What are you using for navigation?
