"swipe" navigation bar

Hello people, today I came with a question, I am looking for information on a navigation bar replacement, here is the short backstory.
I installed a rom for my moto, ( cant recall name, this is part of my problem but I think orion, cant recall the version, it was the one before substratum was added) every was perfect, but screen was giving me issues so I had the phone replaced, without even thinking about checking the rom name ( i delete files after dll)
such rom came with a feature I just love, it was a replacement for the nav bar, no buttons, nothing, it kinda look like always in fullscreen, and after setting it up, you could use the area of the screen where the nav bar goes, to for example swipe up for recents, d-tap for back, long swipe left to kill app...
also it leaves a trail while using it, just like the keyboard, and when you play music it shows in the same area a music visualizer, bars going up and down. ( I know some apps can do this too like muviz)
PLease if anyone know the name of the app/xposed/rom please reply or send me a message.
Thank you

The ROM is Dirty Unicorns and they are currently working on a Nougat update, the equalizer at the bottom of the home screen is called Pulse and the "swiping" navbar effects is called Fling (check the videos in the link).

Any good navbar apps?

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.
Sent from my PH-1 using XDA Labs

Navbar question

Hi I got OnePlus 6t and I have a problem with the navigation bar . Always but always is white when I am using a colour application a game or something and become black if I use a white application like chrome for example. I can understand this is a future to prevent screen burning but for me is so annoying. My wife got s9 plus and the navigation bar become transparent plus you got the option to change it black or how you like it.
I don't know if is only me or I am too fussy but is so bad so fuxxking bad I try to speak with some guys in the community app I try to tell them a future abut this but they not doing anything..
Now I flash beta 4 hoping that they done something. Guess what . Nothing

Try the app "Navbar Apps" in the Play Store.

Nothing against the author of the app mentioned but having to give out that much access to your device to change something that should be part of the theme is a design weak point.

If you're Rooted you can install Xposed and use BlackNavigationBar and it works flawlessly.

rahlquist .
Yeah you are right they can add this future to change the nav bar easy.

i will root it back just for this future ,i didn't know that xbosed is working on android 9 , i will check a tuturial on xda forum

Hi all,
i didn't want to make a whole thread just to ask if any have found/use a app similar to what "Custom Navigation Bar" by paphonb used to do?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967
i dont want to change colors or add images like other apps, i just want to add a back button on the right side same as the left one for the pie navbar. is not about swap the back button to the right, is having 2 back icons and change the image to dots.

(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

Absolutely yes with you mate, what are you talking about lol.

@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.
