I did try that app but it does not work properly with multiple user profiles.

Just tried it, and on cleanroom 1.3, the nav bar vanished completely. No way to restore with without rebooting into safe mode and uninstalling it.

CM10.2 Kanged rom has this feature in there as well as lots of others like the AppBar/Ribbon support, Halo Notifications, Center Clock, transparent bars, Bar colors and tweaks, theme support, AOKP keyboard, etc.
I've been using it for a few days and feels great. I'm not sure if I supports tablet mode, but I'm trying to get used to the stock UI on a tablet.

If you have root, my app can hide/show navigation bar without reboot - GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys

I have already tried that app and it was already mentioned in this thread as well. The app is very buggy and does not work well with multiple user profiles. Start on boot does not work either. I had sent an email through Play Store but never received any acknowledgement.

You can edit the DPI following these instuctions.

:silly: I replied in wrong thread. Anyway I just got NN7 and I'm testing it. I will check multiple accounts problem, but I cannot reproduce autostart on boot problem on any of my devices including NN7. On topic: PA rom allows to change navigation bar size or you can change device dpi as already suggested.

No worries. I think someone else said that set-on-boot does not work either. It could be related to multiple-user issue with my device.

How to completely disable NavBar on Oreo w/o root?

There is app that can completely disable NavBar, but it does not work on Oreo. Somebody can update this app?
p.s. Sure I know that I can hide it, but it is not that same as completely disable it.

Are you rooted?

Interested in this as well.
0pt.navbar.apk was perfect but doesn't seem to work with Oreo. Really hope somebody updates it else I doubt I will upgrade to Oreo.

No root for s8 snapdragon on Oreo yet. I would also like to get this working. Right now I have imersive mode on but the nav bar pops up when I swipe up and its really annoying. And yes I know I spelled that wrong.

The app we mean works without root (through accessability).
We might have to use the adb method to use a constant immersive mode if that 0pt.navbar.apk doesn't get updated to Oreo. Would like to stay away from that, though, because it causes some problems.
(btw, OP is most likely using an Exynos, as he seems to be from Russia).

Right, I have an Exynos version. All commands for adb that I have saw is for temporary hiding, like a stock feature (dot on the left side of navbar)

As I already said, this method just hide a navbar like a stock Samsung OS feature (dot on the left side of navbar). Somebody find this workaround when OS had not this feature.

Does the navbar reappear when using this method and swiping up? What's the difference compared to the 0pt app from Tigerhood we're using?
Guess we'll have to wait for a dev to get on this. Hope somebody will.

Yes, navbar reappear when you swiping up (with stock feature or after applying an ADB command). 0pt completely disable navbar. It will not reappear when you swiping up.

There is an Xposed Module that you could try, something like Hide Navigation Bar

Update the title. With root there is a way to do this, but without root - not and I`m trying to find the solution.

Add this line to your build.prop in a root explorer.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

i tried that with Oreo beta 4. But after i added this line, i got a bootloop, thats why im still on nougat.

I also haven't found a working solution to the problem, and therefore returned back to Nougat. As of recently, Navbar seems to me like something totally obsolete. Fully disabled navbar + Home Bar Gestures app = pure magic. I really love this navigation experience similar to iPhone X. Don't see a point in Oreo yet. Almost no new features but a lot of mods and tweaks from Nougat do not work. Staying on Nougat and advising you to do the same. Peace!

System mods which is a substratum mod using Andromeda is in the works to get this feature but I agree Oreo isn't worth it.

I just want Oreo because it's smoother.. But yeah, the navigation is more important at the moment. Can't understand why not more people use swipe navigation.
Bump

Anyone found a way to disable nav bar , i just installed oreo and i am still searching for a way to do it

Hi guys i asked this dev for a mod to disable nav bar he needs that files i need someone to upload that my internet can't upload more than a picture , and i couldn't find res and tw-res because i am noob in this stuff i only found framwork.apk and the folder but no luck with other stuff, if someone has good internet and wants to disable nav bar can post here the files or send it to me or send it to him directly

ROM & Kernel customization options wishlist

Post up your wish-list of custom options for custom ROM's (non OP) and Kernels and I'll add them to the OP.
This is for options that you aren't finding in any ROM, or at least not in your favorite ROM.
Feel free to mention your current ROM if you like but this thread is NOT about which ROM is the best or your favorite.
Please don't turn it into that. :good:
I'll try to bold new suggestions every day or so till the thread gets tired.
*Ability to filter out specific notifications from appearing (ie: NotifyClean)
*Bring "only show running apps" option back to Slim Recents.
*Clearly mentioned in OP if rom supports encryption/decryption.
*Day/Night - Provide option to switch between two different Substratum themes at toggle of a button.
*Fix the earphone bug.
*Fully working OOS camera
*Now Playing features from Pixel 2 XL detect song from lockscreen via ambient
*Option to remove USB Debugging notification is missing on some newer ROM's.
*Ring on charge complete
*Vibration - Would like to have option for more than 100% vibration.

- Clearly mentioned in OP if rom supports encryption/decryption. That is not always the case and people ask many times in the same thread.
- Long press back to kill foreground app.

Fully working OOS camera times 100. Literally the only thing stopping me from switching from OOS betas. I'm aware of the Google Camera functionality and also about all its problems.

Ability to filter out specific notifications from appearing. For example, my wife and I 'share' an Amazon Prime Photos account. I don't want a 'Successfully uploaded photos from your 3rd device' notification every time she uploads something. But I don't want to mute notifications for the whole app (or sometimes even notification group) as I may not get the 'upload progress' notifications' anymore. The Xposed module Notify Clean was perfect pre-Nougat and AutoNotification works alright post-Nougat, but it would be nice if this was baked into the ROM.

OP updated.

Just FYI, this is already available in every custom ROM I've tried so far.
You just have to enable the navigation bar options and then go into the button editor. I set up all my ROM's with this. And set the home button to open camera on long press.

OMG, if NotifyClean ever gets updated for Oreo I will go back to using Xposed again.
I really miss that app and some of the others by that dev. :good:

Hello there,
First off, the only couple things that stopping me to move from stock to a custom rom is the OOS camera (as mentioned above) and mostly the earphone bug. The mic on the phone and the earphones seems to be activated during a call and it gets pretty annoying to hear an amplified background of your environment and the person's on the other end, seems like most custom roms have this problem.
I've also long wanted to see ''ring on charge complete'' on the OP5T.
Thank you for asking.

Sorry i know this feature is hard to make but Now Playing features from Pixel 2 XL detect song from lockscreen

I think this might be an option using Light Flow?
If you really want it then it might be worth looking into.
It does custom ringtones for certain actions.
And they can be backed up for ROM re-flashes as long as the ringtone is stored in the usual spot /system/media/sounds/etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow

To clarify my personal request here:
*Day/Night - Provide option to switch between two different Substratum themes at toggle of a button.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A few ROM's provide built in day/night theme options.
But they don't theme apps like phone or calculator or anything else.
They only theme the settings and drop-down and a couple other things.
I want a nice non-tasker hack.
And would be willing to donate for it :lol:

Swipe Right on Lockscreen for Torch Shortcut

I was holding my Mi 9T in my hand and pressed the power button to wake the display when I was suddenly presented with a Torch icon where the Fingerprint reader usually sits. Upon pressing the Torch icon the flash lights up.
Apparently this was a feature introduced in MIUI 9 but I have since not been able to replicate it by swiping right on the Lockscreen.
Can anyone offer advise on how to activate it again, or have you seen this feature on your device?
Like this : https://youtu.be/y56qCEPV3bc
And mentioned here point number 6 : https://c.mi.com/thread-1615511-1-0.html

Yesterday I downloaded a theme from the MIUI store and it show me several shortcuts swiping right (startingfrom the left side on the screen to the right). So I guess with Default theme this shortcuts are not enable.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. On my phone which is on Global ROM 11.0.1.0 the options are slightly different and do not appear like yours.
I tried looking elsewhere but could not find it either.
At this point I think the feature is there but somewhat hidden/deactivated for the ROM in my region. There's a bug that allows it to activate very rarely when I swipe right on my Lockscreen and I managed to take a screenshot of it this time. Here is what it looks like on my device with the default MIUI theme.

Android 10 full screen gestures. More options greyed out.

Hi.
I have been using the full screen gestures on android 9 as well.
But in the new android 10 update, theres a new button under the full screen gesture settings "more options".
For me, that button is greyed out.

You must be using a third party launcher. if you are you can get it to work thru adb. This will force the full screen gestures - adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural

Same here, lawnchair and mine is greyed out, i am using fluid navigation gestures, i do have full gestures but had to disable fng bottom gestures as the OneUI settings in fng would let bottom gestures work fine but make the dock area of the screen a little bit Finneky sometimes unresponsive.
Left and right are working correctly from fng and stock bottom gestures are working correctly.

You can run the adb command to hide navigation bar or use OneUI Option, but i find that if i hide navigation bar i get an offset of screen at the bottom some buttons and options dissapear from view. If i use OneUI Option sometimes the dock area of the screen is unresponsive in some apps. I have them both disabled.

That is incredibly ridiculous that we cannot use native Android 10 gestures in a Galaxy device if we're using mega popular launchers like NOVA.

https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-...ova-launcher-and-other-third-party-launchers/

I'm using nova launcher, fluid navigation gestures for the sides and i disabled fluids bottom gestures and the native gestures seem to be working.

I combine standard Samsung gestures with the samsung one-handed operation plus app.
What is interesting is that even on 10 and the stock launcher you do not get the full android 10 gestures anyway, the swipe the bottom task switching for example is not there which is a shame.

Turn on one hand operation. That's how I got it to work again for me. And I get to keep nova
