I have a 2019 model Tab A, running Android v9. I use the tablet in a stand which makes it difficult to access the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Is there any way to move this to the top of the screen (or even to one of the sides)?
Me too, disaponting that no one could come up with a solution.

May be a bit bizarre wasnt sure whether to post here or in the Apps section.
Anyway the slide bar to unlock the phone is quite frustrating to be put right at the top of the screen (you may or may not agree) is there anyway to relocate it to the lower portion of the screen and have notification sliding bars going up instead of down?
hi,
take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539577
i installed the 'HeartofWolf Lockscreen fix v4.cab' wich brings the slider down and th clock up.
mad.
The bottom of my N7 screen cracked but the device is still very usable. The bottom half inch will not respond to touch, but everything above that point works just fine! I'm hoping for a way to expand my navigation bar size, or bump it up to leave my screen blank under it.. Any help will be greatly appreciated and I have some $ in PayPal as a thanks. Any help as in a ROM that allows a Nav Bar Resize.. A way to move it to the top of my tablet screen... Some way I can put a google search bar under it or anything to waste that space. Thanks for ideas, hoping to save my N7 and keep it usable without having to rotate it everytime I need that portion of my screen!

I could have sworn I've seen navbar mods somewhere. You could always consider using PIE controls, however, if you want to remap them to the left/right screen edges.
Thanks for the quick reply. Pie Controls is a very useful work around for now. The app would be amazing if it let me choose exactly where on the screen I could pull up the navigation bar, but even without that option it is a great help!
I've seen some Mods but all of them seem to shrink the Bar, not enlarge it.
The reason I want to extend the stock navigation bar isn't just to be able to touch the buttons but it also pushes all opened apps, my home screen, etc up past that point that is cracked... So while playing a game or in my options menus I would still be able touch the bottom of my screen, just above the navigation bar (which I can't do now.) Basically, the top of the Bar is the bottom of my touch screen and it isn't high enough for me to use the entire screen =(

LMT Launcher is a pie control interface. It allows you to open from anywhere on the left or right and you can setup gestures as well with it to do the navbar functions. Look it up here on xda.

Hi guys,
I have a Pixel 3 and really like One Plus gestures as you can use the phone without nav bar and get more screen state.
I have been trying some apps but I have a question and would like to know if it is the stock behavior.
Apps I have been trying are:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid&hl=en_US
I think they all work fine, but they all have a "activation area" which is just a bar (around 60px height) in the botton of the screen, where the gestures are detected.
But I cannot click anything under that area, I mean if there is something "under" that small area I have to swipe so it goes up and I can click it.
Is that behavior normal in the one plus? I dont think so.
Best regards
I just checked on the native gesture behavior and as far as I can tell, there is no reserved activation area for the OP6T gestures and anything around the bottom-most part of the screen can still be tapped. Each requires the swipe to actually activate.
I've scoured the settings to make the nav buttons on the v20 to remain on-screen all the time, but nothing. Is this possible?
Or is this an issue with Oreo and browsers?
It could be that you have the navigation buttons set to "hide" and they don't play well with the Samsung browser. If the small square dot on the far left side of the navigation bar is a outline only (not filled in) then you are in auto hide mode. Just tap the dot once to change it to always be visible. I'm not saying that this is your problem just offering to you as a possibility to try out.
Also: If they are hidden to start with then the way you unhide them is drag your finger up diagonally from the far bottom left, the navigation bar should now be visible.

Thanks for that drag tip, that's very handy, and my nav bar does have the outline only square dot, but tapping it brings up all the current open apps.
I think that you misunderstood, the auto hide is the one that the red arrow is pointing to. Solid box is visible all the time, outline is auto hide. Tap once to change the state.

Thank you for the pic, I don't have that dot though. Is the layout different between models of the v20 as mine is the H918, or does using a different launcher (Nova) make a difference?
is there way lock navigation bar on screen up instead down?
i got Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 (2020) WiFi
its annjoying that i cant navigaton bar on up screen instead down.
