Hi all,
I have a HD10 (11th Gen/2021) tablet that I've run the Toolbox on and is now using Nova launcher (V7).
The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen auto hides itself, how can I disable that feature such that it stays on the screen?
Thanks,
J.
Okay, this is the opposite of what you asked, but I make the nav-bar disappear for specified apps using the following command.
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=org.mozilla.firefox,org.mozilla.firefox_beta,net.osmand.plus
So conversely, if Nova Launcher is listed in that setting, then maybe you can stop it auto hiding by removing it from the list.
adb shell settings get global policy_control immersive.navigation
Even less helpfully, I can recommend Emerald Launcher (from F-Droid).
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.firelauncher
adb shell pm set-home-activity ru.henridellal.emerald/.Apps
Hi there,
That worked a treat! Immersive navigation was wildcard'ed to everything (*)
I have disabled it (set it to nothing) and now have the navigation bar
Thanks for replying and helping.

I've just purchased TSF Shell and I really like it. Does the default TSF Shell come with what I need to make my own themes? Also, the notifier is not working so I uninstalled it, but it has left a "2" notification on my Gmail that I can't get rid of. Any idea how to reset that icon? I tried clearing the data on it but that didn't do anything more than force a re-download of my mail, and I tried redesigning the icon, but again, no change in the false notifier.
Lastly, for now, I use aCalendar+ but when I put a 4x4 widget on the screen, the font is so small there is no way I'll read it. When I tap it, it opens up to a readable page, but it's not very helpful in widget mode. What is a great calendar I can use that will take an entire "page"?
Any other TSF tips would be awesome.
Thanks!
Notes:
Code:
This also re-enables holding recents for multiwindow.
This removes Swipe up to Home from [I]Settings > System > Gestures[/I], so turn it off before reverting to Oreo method
Adb:
1) Enable USB Debugging
2) Execute adb shell in your terminal of choice on desktop
3) Type 'pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher
If you wish to revertto the Pie navigation, simply reinstall 'Pixel Launcher' from the Play Store. It will return immediately.

Root method:
(1) Disable Pixel Launcher with an app like this.
Re-enable to revert back
Awesome tip. Worked perfectly on my Pixel 2XL. Thanks man!!
Now no home app at all
while this does indeed revert to the Oreo version of recents, it also wipes out the entire launcher, so I have no home app available! Just sits here saying "phone is starting" About to reinstall pixel launcher, I hope all my customizations and icon placements haven't been lost!
Yesssss! Thank you! The new recents app switcher is awful
@23Six thanks for this
Works good for me I just froze it and titanium backup I'm using Nova Launcher

Yeah you're going to need to use some launcher like I use Nova Launcher I don't think your phone will work if you don't have any launcher set

Yeah I forgot to mention that that Pixel Launcher is interested with Pie navigation system so they come (and go) as a pair. You shouldn't lose your home layout since disabling does not remove app data as it does not uninstall.
And if you did uninstall, then you're in luck because Pixel Launcher home layout is backed up in the cloud (for Pixel phones at least).
You are a lifesaver, thanks so much! This post should definitely be on the xda homepage because I have been searching for weeks!
Works perfectly on my Pixel 1 after the 9.0 OTA. I am using Lawnchair as launcher.
Does this work on oneplus 6?
Thank you so much! It feels so goooood to have the classic app switcher back.
The link for the root app doesn't work anymore, so in case anyone is wondering, it's "Chef's freezer".

For OnePlus users, try 'pm uninstall --user 0 net.oneplus.launcher'
Awesome tip... Unfortunately, there is no way to lock a particular app from getting cleared from memory when you hit the clear all button.. Earlier versions had this feature.. (lock button)
This is awesome, new Overview in PIE is SO damn slow and uncomfortable, compared to the old one.
Is there any way to disable this with ADB but keep using Pixel launcher? I don't want to use Nova. I love the simplicity of the Pixel Launcher but I hate the slowness of the new Overview.

Modded Pixel launchers should be just fine as they use different package names, however I did not test this.

Yes the modded pixel launchers can be installed however, in the "Rootless Launcher" if I install the special APK to enable Google Feed integration it fails to install because it requires Pixel launcher to be uninstalled.
I guess the only way to downgrade to a previous Pixel Launcher is to root the phone and completely uninstall the system Pixel launcher first, right?
I assume there is no other way to downgrade a system app
Sent from my Pixel 2
Is there a way to delete this through root explorer?
Is there any way to retain the lock app feature on the overview section? This way, all apps that are locked won't be cleared when you click on clear all... I know I've asked this before.. But couldn't find it anywhere else..

Installing an old version of OnePlus Launcher on top of the current installation did the trick as well. But i Uninstalled oneplus Launcher via adb now because the recents were laggy. But the lag is still present.
Great! Thank you

So this probably works for almost everybody.
For me though it did not. I happen to have Xiaomi Mi A1 and in there it is still named launcher3, even on Android Pie. Weird right?
So to revert if you have my problem use. 3) "pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.launcher3".
Still very helpful post and link to Reddit! Thank you!
Do you know if there's any chance with Pie that there will be a Recent Apps Switcher that doesn't remove apps from the list automatically?
Till Oreo, my Recent Apps button also worked as a kind of "To Do Reminder": By scrolling thru the apps I saw what I started and still had to come back to. With Oreo, even the "Lock" icon on the apps didn't help - Android just removed older entries, even if the app was still in memory (I could tell because when I started it again from the launcher, it came up immediately).
So my hope is that the new custom app switcher abilities could gives us a switcher that can be customized when to remove apps (my choice: "Never"
So can I hope or does the concept not allow that?
I use Nova Launcher by using Hijack3 app. Works very well.
I cannot add widgets to homescreen. When attempting to put the widget on screen, I get the Fire HD 8 "Settings Menu".
Is there a way to add widgets?

When you get to step 6, use this ADB command for Nova launcher:
adb shell appwidget grantbind --package com.teslacoilsw.launcher --user 0

Worked fine for me on 8th gen HD 8 (FireOS 6.3.0.1) using Launcher Hijack v4.02 with Nova - including partial widget support.

I'm using HD 10, OS 5.3.6.4, didn't install Launcher Hijack though, I followed https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/root-required-widgets-preferred-launcher-t3637813 and in the Accessibility section, turned on Nova, but there is no option for the home key there anymore.
So, when I hit the home key, it goes back to Fire launcher (which I suppose the Launcher hijack fixes?), but, then, the other problem is that when I try to add a system gadget, notification logs, it just flashes, and goes back to Fire launcher with no widget being created in Nova.

As noted - partial widget/gadget support. That limitation might be mitigated if the native launcher could be fully suppressed; tough ask on an unrooted ROM (aka FireOS).
Hello everyone, hope you're doing well.
I was wondering if there is an option to hide the navigation bar.
Thank you in advance.
You can do that easily with adb commands.
Code:
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-190
You can change the value "-190" to anything between 0 and -210 depending on what works best for you.
Before trying this out, better set up some other method of navigation so you can still use your device.
Thank you for your reply.
Though I don't want to hind perminantly the navigation bar, instead I want to hide it when I'm not using it.

For that, you can download an app called Quick Settings by Simone Sestito.
You need to grant ad permission to the app by the command
Code:
adb shell pm grant it.simonesestito.ntiles android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
And then you can add the immersive mode tile to your Quick Settings Panel.
Fluid navigation app
Just install fluid navigation app from playstore..And follow the instructions..( Note : This requires adb permissions ) . This was the best method for hide, gesture navigation & lot more shortcuts with gesture navigation
Type this in adb connected to s20 ultra while on home screen. I use nova launcher and native gesture at the same time. You'll have to do it again if you change the navigation type in settings or if you restart the device.
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural →
Thank the s10+ forums for this info.
