[APP] 'Custom Navigation Bar' - add additional icons to your N8 Nav Bar - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods

I found this Custom Navigation Bar app developed by paphonb on a different XDA thread - but it works perfectly on the Note 8. The app can be downloaded from the Play Store here
Using this app you can add up to 2 additional icons to the Navigation bar (one on the far left and the other on the far right) each with a tap or double-tap action that can launch apps or a tasker event. It works fantastically on my N8 with no lag whatsoever, and I now have 4 actions that I can easily access from any screen.

Tutorials
There are tutorials on how to set up the icons scattered throughout the 58 pages of the original thread. I have summarized them all here in one place
[Credit to Mishaal Rahman and dariomrk for writing these]
Requirements for launching Tasker Events
- Tasker ($2.99)
- AutoInput Beta (v2.0.5b.bf) (~$1.70)
1. Instructions for triggering a Tasker event
1. Configure a custom button as you would, but this time, set button type to "Tasker event" instead of "Keycode".
2. Open tasker and press add in profiles tab
3. Select "Event"
4. Select Plugin -> Custom Navigation Bar
5. Click on pencil icon to edit event
6. Select the profile you have the button set up. If you set up the button you want in "Navigation bar" section of the app, select "None"
7. Select the button that you have set up. If the option is greyed out, check if you done step 1 correctly
8. Save the event and add an action for that tasker profile.
Note:
When pressing the button first time, if a dialog pops up, select "Custom Navigation Bar" and press "Always"
2. Instructions to change the buttons to keyboard cursors whenever the keyboard is displayed
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ard-cursors-to-the-nav-bar-during-text-input/
** I find this one really useful as do not normally have these showing on my Swiftkey keyboard.
3. Instructions to change the buttons to media playback controls when playing Music
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-add-media-playback-controls-to-the-nav-bar-when-playing-music/
4. Detailed Instructions for setting up the Custom Navigation Bar
Firstly you will need:
- A PC with adb and fastboot installed; (Refer to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 for how to install these);
After you have adb set up, open up a CMD window and type:
Code:
cd "Program Files(x86)\adb"
adb shell
pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Important: Replace "Program Files(x86)\adb" with the location where you installed adb
For more details see: https://www.xda-developers.com/nav-...ck-nougat-all-along-and-it-never-needed-root/

Found another great app Home Button Launcher that lets you remap the long press on the Note 8 Home key so it doesn't launch Google Assistant (which I never use).
It can either automatically launch a different app or a shortcut - or show a popup panel of apps/shortcuts:
I used to use All in one Gestures to do this - but that does not work on soft keys.

@kiwiguy99 Thanks for the posts!
What app are you using for the 'Quick Settings' style pull up bar at the bottom of your screen? Well I am assuming that is what it is lol.

Nice find and directions! I use both Tasker and Lightning Launcher as well. Installation went quickly and I like the options to double-tap for more. Thank you!

How do I launch Google Search as in Typing with Keyboard to go to a URL or Google Search.

I download the adb tools from here : https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/

Do not run ADB SHELL by itself before running that command.

There's no need for 2 adb shell commands. Easier to just do the adb shell pm grant **** in one line.

Thanks for letting me know! Have updated OP and fixed the URL.

I can not for the life of me get ADB to see my device as ONLINE. I've tried everything I can think of (restarting device, adb server, toggling USB debugging on & off, different USB ports, etc). I really hope one of ya'll has an idea I haven't tried or maybe has ran through this already. What am I missing?

Rooted snap dragon here could not get this working. Any ideas?

I suppose I may have been a little too cryptic in my previous response. Here's some clarification:
The original instructions basically said to open a command prompt then run...
Code:
cd "Program Files(x86)\adb"
adb shell
adb shell pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
You would of course need to replace [highlight]"Program Files (x86)\adb"[/highlight] with the location where you installed ADB, if it is different.
The [highlight]adb shell[/highlight] line is unnecessary and will in fact cause the next line to fail. That is the piece I was hinting to skip to in my previous post.
Alternatively, this sequence will also work...
Code:
cd "Program Files(x86)\adb"
adb shell
pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Thanks Shadowpheonix! OP updated to reflect your better instructions.

So my navnar buttons are now out of alignment... tried uninstalling the app, but nothing happened even after reboot... how do I get the buttons to their original place? I'm really annoyed. I tried the options in the app to switch positions but they just mess them up even more...
Please help...

[PROJECT] Screen Recorder

Hello!
I've made a tasker project to record screen since i don't wanna use an extra app when I can do it with Tasker. I'm using it in a Zooper Widget, but you can as well export it as app.
NOTES:
1) Please let me know if you think that the "code" can be improved or that I did something unnecessary. I'm still a noob.
2) You have to run the task "Start recording" in order to start.

REQUIREMENTS:
● Root
● Tasker
● AutoInput Full version
● AutoNotification Full version

FEATURES:
● Enable/disable "show touches" option from developer options (it is done through a shell code,
)
● Set custom name for video file (the video gets saved in /sdcard0/AutoInput/ )

Thanks for the cool tasker Project. It works great. I came across one error on my end. That was just the fact I didn't buy auto input and notification. I had only the lite version. Once I bought them everything worked perfectly. Thanks again pal.

Im glad it helps you.
Ive edited the post saying that the full version is required for that apps.
By the way, i found out that screen can be recorded with shell code too, so AutoInput wont be required anymore. I feel bad that in a way youve purchased both apps when this can be done without it. But there are more things which can be done with this app..
I will work on an update which check if phone is rooted or not and if is rooted, it will use only shell codes and if it isnt rooted, then it will use AutoInput and Secure Settings Plugin.
My reply on reddit tasker:
Umm, then maybe I'll make an update which check if ROOT is available with %ROOT variable and use secure settings if phone isn't rooted.
I've got screenrecord working fine through shell code. Screenrecord through shell ( write in terminal emulator screenrecord --help ):
- video resolution
- set the video bit rate, in bits per second. Value may be specified as bits or megabits, e.g. '4000000' is equivalent to '4M'. Default 4Mbps.
- add additional information, such as timestamp overlay, that is helpful in videos captured to illustrate bugs
- Set the maximum recording time, in seconds. Default / maximum is 180.
Now I'm thinking to use shell codes for this and don't use autoinput & autonotification . I don't know, is just an idea

EDIT: It seems that screenrecord through shell can be stopped by CTRL-C or when the video reach the specified time. AutoInput still the winner.

No worries about having to buy the apps, I was already going to. I just honestly never got around to it. I like the idea of having full Shell commands, but I feel as you have already proven that AI and AN are the way to go. Keep up the good work, and if you ever need testers for stuff feel free to hit me up.
I wanted to share my version of your "Screen Record" project.
Didn't find any good reason to start a new thread, given the fact that I started from your code.
That being said, I've made many changes to it to suit my personal needs and I always keep adding things.
Android version: 8.0 (needed for long tap)
The main changes on the attached "project" file are:
Removed the use of global variables and the use of scenes
Recording is now initiated from a Quick Settings tile (single tap for recording with touches, long tap for recording without touches)
During the recording, I block all notifications
The recording stops in two ways: a) press tile or b) shake phone. (I prefer latter so as the video to remain clean)
The video has a default name. Once recording stops, user is prompted to enter a new name. (I do that using the AWESOME AutoTools, but can be easily replaced by a scene)
At the end, the folder containing the video is added.
Additional (not included) and future functionality:
Share file with specified device using Join
[Future] Select directory to save the file
[Future] Define a time for which the file should remain stored, then it gets deleted (I tend to forget files!)
Requirements:
Root, to enable show touches (can be overpassed using AutoInput)
AutoInput for recording (required)
AutoNotification for tile and blocking notifications (optional: can use Tasker tile and not block notifications)
AutoTools for a RegEx extraction and dialogue displace (optional: can be replaced by tasker actions and a scene)
Some different icons (attached zip file): I've used a bunch of icons (copy the Essential Set folder to your Tasker>.icn directory), credits to the creators at https://www.flaticon.com/ (Essential Set)
If anyone wants help in editing this, I'm more than happy to help.
Also if you can think of any features to be added, please let me know.

Those are great improvements!
You're free to create a new thread. That way, more people can see your project. It's your choice.
By the way, I've seen your post just because I've checked that page where I can see all the threads I've created, otherwise I wouldn't have seen your post because you haven't quoted my post nor mentioned me. Just a friendly tip, next time you want to contact/ask someone thing or reply him, you should quote his post or mention his name because he'll receive a notification.
@#Henkate Yes should have done that pal, sorry. Hope this one at least works.
I feel you on the use of plugins. That's why I mentioned the fact that all but AutoInput can be substituted for something Tasker native. Maybe I should try and do the same variant without (at least) AutoTools for others to use it more freely. But I'm rubbish on the artistic side of a GUI. But a simple dialogue will suffice I guess.

I'm sorry for the late reply.
Yep, it worked. I've got the notification .
Forget what I've wrote about the plugins. I've edited my post after I've wrote that but I see that you've already read it. I've forgot that I've used AutoInput and AutoNotification myself lol.
To be honest, i'm not good at designing neither .
I'm not using Tasker anymore since some time, but I'm looking forward to see what further changes you'll make to your project. Good luck!

How to enter username & password for connecting to WiFi network in office?

Hi,
Kindly help me to automate this task using Tasker.
I am using Oneplus 3 with CM14.1. I have already created a task which automatically enables Wifi whenever I am near to home or office (using Cella near). That is working fine.
In my office, whenever we connect to WiFi, it is showing a notification asking to enter username and password. I have to enter the username and password every time when I disconnect and reconnect.
How can I automate this authentication process using Tasker?
These are the screenshots :-

I guess AutoInput can do this. Save your user name and password to a file on your phone. Let Tasker pull this information and AutoInput put it in there. That is what I would try to do.

Downloaded and tried. Not able to create tasks as required. I am looking for steps by step instructions.
I can't get AutoInput to work either.
But if you are rooted you can use just tasker. Then you dont have to install an extra app.
To do so create a task and add a Run Shell.
Check the button Use Root and under command you add:
Code:
input tap x y
input text login-name
input tap x y
input text login-password
input tap x y
With x and y being the coordinates of the fields where you tap. If you need to figure out these you can turn on pointer position under developer options.
That should work.
But remember that your password will be readable by anybody with access to your phone. Maybe you should lock tasker with a pin code, although that adds just a tiny bit of security.

Thanks for reply. I guess, it works. I would like to know how to open web login page as soon as I connect to wireless network. Usually a notification appears as soon as I connect to wifi then I have to open the web login page from notification bar. How do I automate this as well?
Maybe AutoInput can help you. When the notification arrived AutoInput tap it and open the browser for you.

Sorry kinda thought there would appear a popup window.
If you click on the notification and it opens in the browser, is there a link you could enter manually?
If so you could add another action to open the link. Use Net-> Browse URL to open the link and then do as I said before.
If there is no link you could add Display->Status Bar and select expanded. This will open your notification drawer and with another input tap you could select the notification. But that is getting kinda complicated , if the notification isn't always in the same place...
Kinda hard to figure out a good way, without being able to test it so maybe you have to tweak it a little.

Will it perform the same action as a shell command or will it just open the link, without the need to emulate the swipe and click?
I am not sure how she'll comands works. I never used it. AutoInput will simulate the klick. Swiping are only available at Android 7 when I remember right. But the Klick on the notification opens the browser right? If so then you can have the login information stored in a file and copy and past it with AutoInput in. Then Klick login with AutoInput and you are done.

The shell just pretends that the user tapped at the given coordinates, so the display has to be on and you can watch your device doing things. So I would guess AutoInput does the same, but without the need for root...

[GUIDE]Hide statusbar icons without root using ADB

I got my P2 some days ago and after initial setup I looked at me statusbar and found it to be cluttered with a lot of icons I don't need. For example I had icons for portrait, bluetooth and worst of all the enormous NFC-icon. So I tried to find an option to disable them and found how to do this using ADB. My Lenovo is on the last Nougat-update.
You need to have ADB working on your PC and have ADB debugging enabled in developer settings on your phone.
Plug your phone into your computer and open command prompt in your ADB folder. Type:
Code:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist [comma separated codes here]
For example, I disabled the icons for portrait (rotate), traffic meter (speed), Bluetooth (bluetooth), NFC (nfc), alarm(alarm_clock) and vibrate icon (volume).
Code for this example:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist nfc,bluetooth,speed,rotate,volume,alarm
After you put in the code, hit enter and wait until you see the path for ADB in your prompt screen. Turn on the screen of your P2 and voila! Enjoy your clean statusbar!
Note: Hiding an icon will cause the other icons to re-appear, so you will need to make the command to hide all your iccons with one command. Separate names of the icons with a comma "," and without spaces between them).
You can turn them off manually as well... In settings... Well obviously, they'll be on the status bar when they're on. But then what's the point in not knowing whether they're on or off? Since this method will hide them either way.
Note: just my opinion. This might be useful for someone else. No hard feelings, as always, Good job finding.:good:

I understand your opinion but I have a lot of these things enabled by default (bluetooth for wearable, nfc for mobile payments, Alarms) so my statusbar would be cluttered with icons while I'm well aware they're turned on.
Hello,
I have simplest solution to these just download ShortCuter application.
Enable system ui tuner from menu and (((booom)))
you can now hide unwanted icons from status bar.
Where do I enable the system tuner?

On the P2 you can't simply enable system tuner like you can in other devices (pulling down notification drawer and holding the settings-icon for 4-5 seconds). You can however acces the system tuner by creating a shortcut using an alternative launcher (I used Nova). You can chose to make a shortcut to an activity and choose demo-mode under system.
However, from system tuner you can't toggle all icons, for example NFC....
]Without root .. use activity luncher .. look for system UI settings .. demo activity ..run it and disable whatever u don't like in the status bar

well, you cannot disable rotate icon from the settings so adb command helped me get rid of it.
thanks a bunch

OnePlus 7 Pro minimizing huge keyboard chin (How-to)

Ever since jumping to the OnePlus 7 Pro Android 10
Open Beta (2) I've noticed an added chin to the keyboard. Sure it's probably there for better ergonomics, to me it's just an eye sore.

}
I've been using FluidNavigationGesture (FNG) app to add additional gestures to the side edges. Now I use it for a different function.
Using the latest beta build, https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/franc...ion-gestures-2-0-beta11-android-apk-download/
You can disable all the gesture (and use the normal Google gestures)
To hide the navbar which will save your space under the keyboard.
Once you install the app you'll need to either have root or need to run an ad command to give it permission to hide the nav bar.
And that's it.
Only issue I've come to is while using Picture In Picture modes in apps. Sometimes you'll have to scroll up from the bottom right to get it to show. Not sure if this is an Android 10 issue or because I'm hiding the NavBar.
Just update to 10 stable. No need for a workaround

Hmm I am 90% certain that the gap still exist on stable 10 as well.

Seems to work well on the final Android 10. Thanks!

Is empty space under keyboard fixed in stable?

Unfortunately No.
However unpleasing the look of that gap qt the bottom. It makes using the keyboard a lot easier.
Sucks they left it like this. I love the extra space for usability, and it was perfect on Pie - they extended the keyboard background perfectly to the edge. But now we just get a nasty black/white bar for some reason. not sure why they couldn't make it the same way as on Pie (surely something due to the new gesture nav bar). I'm guessing (hoping) they're working on fixing it though and just didn't want that to hold up the release of the update.
For anyone who wants OnePlus to fix this blunder, please go upvote this bug report on their feedback forum: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...oid-10-when-using-navigation-gesture.1109867/
Please don't think it's a futile effort! I have had OP mods DM me to follow up on my bug reports there many times. More votes means it's more likely they'll pay attention to it.
I selected the green color. The white chin turned black which is barely visible.
Usually colors other than the white ones turn the chin black.
I am using Vivid Gestures from the Play Store with root. No "chin" at all.
1) Download adb tools on your PC.
2) Then just connect your phone to PC with developer options enabled.
3) Then type the following in command prompt and hit enter
Code:
adb devices
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-105
:good:

Top. Works!
Thanks for the tip/command. I didn't like that bar/chin on the bottom of the screen.
Update:
After trying both the command and app. I think the app does a better job IMO.

To revert this, would you just enter :
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
It's chopping the bottom off of some of my toast notifications.
Thank you for the instructions though. I may play around with some different numbers and see if I can find a sweet spot.

[SOLVED] "Review app with full device access" about the same app that I've dismissed multiple times already

The notifications are given by "Permission reminders - Permission controller" and cannot be switched off (the toggle is greyed out).
Every day, I get a notification about the same apps that I've already dismissed and it's getting very annoying now.
I know it's a security feature and android has to cater for the "dumbest" user but I know what apps I have installed and I trust them.
Some examples are Nova Launcher, Toast Source and Fingerprint Swipes.
Of course Nova launcher needs full device access. Otherwise how is it gonna show notification badges or allow gesture control.
Unfortunately, it's android 13 and toast notifications still have free reign over the device and is not captured in notification history. Some apps still use toast notifications and some are very badly coded that it spams it. It's sometimes difficult to pinpoint which app is giving toast notifications so I use Toast Source, a super useful app that will tell me which app is giving toast notifications. So of course this app needs full device access because it needs to be able to read notifications.
Fingerprint Swipes allows remapping the fingerprint sensor to do different actions on swipe down or up. It even allows swiping sideways for more actions. Of course this needs full device access to do these actions.
Every day, my device tells me "Nova as full device access. Do you want to review permissions?", "Toast Source as full device access. Do you want to review permissions?", "Fingerprint Swipes has full device access. Do you want to review permissions?" and this is getting very old very quickly and extremely annoying.
Is there a way to disable these notifications?
SOLVED: 3rd party app called TidyPanel Notification Blocker.
Possible solution 2: Settings > Apps > Special app access > Usage access > 3dots show system > Permission controller > Slide to off
long-press that notification, then "turn off notifications", switch off "permission reminders", apply? wasn’t greyed out here:

at least that’s how i did/tried the same a few days ago. see screenshot. no reminders since then, fingers crossed.
Hmm I haven't thought of doing it that way. I have a habit of pressing the gear icon and turning it off from there. I'll try your method next time it pops up (probably soon lol). Thanks

Ok so I haven't had the chance to reply because I was away on holiday but this is what I get. "These notifications can't be modified".

Thank you! Really appreciate this. This was irritating me so much I never even thought beyond that. (Note to self )
This also doesn't work for me. "These notifications can't be modified."
Anyone have an alternative solution?

I found an app! TidyPanel. Works like magic.

Tasker app with AutoNotification plugin (stand alone actions) might block these too!
This was marked as solved, was is from the long-press or the third party app?

3rd party app. Long pressing only says it can't be modified.

Great idea. Should've done that ages ago. Up there now.
I had the same problem on my Pixel 5, caused by using the Dashlane app. I may have found a way to disable the daily hassle notification without use of a 3rd party app.
Settings > Notifications > App Settings > Change drop-down from Most Recent to All Apps > tap 3 dots in upper right and change to "Show System" > Scroll way down to (or search for) "Permission Controller."
There's a slider there that allows you to turn off all notifications from the Permission Controller, but based on what I've found out about what it does, it may not be a good idea to turn them off completely. However, if instead of turning off the slider, you just tap on the words "Permission Controller" you get shown a few more options.
I didn't disable all notifications, but the second item under "Other" said Permission Reminders (about 1 notification per day.) I disabled that as well as the item below it (Allow notification dot) and so far the problem seems to be solved.

I had so hoped this would work on my Pixel 7 but the "Permission reminders" toggle under Other is also grayed out and could not by turned off. Has anyone else found a solution to this annoying daily reminder? Thanks
