Hello Folks so I recently stumbled by this post from another device https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...miui-12-5-quickstep-miui-quickswitch.4323747/
I had been testing out a way to get recents from other launchers while running Miui A12.
The post is very helpful and the other things you need are the following :
1- Have a third party gesture app since back gestures won't work.
2- set your launcher before changing recents. This will avoid the launcher crashing message from miui launcher.
3- Have terminal install to run the following command with root :
settings put global force_fsg_nav_bar 1
The command line from the doesn't remove the back bar at the button with this command here it removes it.
4- flash quickstep and go into the app choose your new provider. ( it has to be one the suppers quickstep.
5- reboot
6- run the terminal command
7- enjoy.
Things that dont work:
BACK gestures that's why a third part app is need but the bottom gestures bar works just fine.

Navbar Replacement Apps:
-Swipe Navigation
-GMD GestureContol Lite
FYI - Using this method also disables Google now...
I would be suggest removing navigation bar using the layers loophole used by swipe navigation

Does "Swipe navigation" trick work on Android N ? Any other ways to do it on nougat ?

No it does not. I'm also looking for an alternate method. Had it running for awhile on Nougat official release, but if I accidentally long-pressed on any of my Swipe Navigation attempts, it would stop working and I'd be stuck in whatever app I was using. Having to shut down and reboot to get home is not ideal.
it removes the navbar but it also breaks my camera. suggestions?
edit; I fixed it using this mod I only had assistant enabled in the aroma installer http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...r-pixel-launcher-t3492677/page27#post70291365

I see you too had this issue on your moto x style , of the two zip's given which one should I use for my stock 7.0 x style
This methode use to work on my phone prior of Android O. But it completely break my system if when I tried on O DP1-2-3. It wont let me rebooting at all, goes directly in recovery and have to reflash system. I know the thread is concerning N and not O but wondering if anyone would have advise
Is there any other way of removing the nav bar ? I tried substratum to set the size to 0 but that won't work either
You can use a custom ROM, like Pure Nexus.

Immersive mode is one way of doing it but I personally hate it. Swiping the bottom of the screen will bring back the nav bar. When hidden the keyboard won't show. Plus it still doesn't give you back the screenestate, it is simply replaced with a black bar.
Custom ROM like Pure Nexus have the option because they are running N. The build prop mod use to work prior of O. Hope there will be a way of getting rid of that nav bar ! #givemebackpie

Ok, that's personal taste, I do prefer immersive with transparent navbar.
does it also work on Oreo
Currently my nexus 6P is running Oreo, I use the root explorer to add qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1 on Build Pro File, but it turned out bad, my whole system collapsed and I have to reflash the OS. Will this app work in Oreo? Many thanks.
Worked for z5 premium dual 6833 nougat 7.1.2 mokee. and stock sony 7.1.1 different firmwares.
Tnx
This method does not apply to my cell phone，android7.0，EMUI 5.0.1 OS。
I am using MIUI Global 7.5| Stable (7.5.1.0 MXDMIDE) ROM & suddenly the notification area and lock screen is not working. The recent button and home button on the device is also not working. I was researching the web regarding the bug is android which might be causing this issue?
See this link here >> Android Police link >>
How To Fix Missing Home And Recents Buttons, And Notification Shade That Refuses To Pull Down After Android Update
Second Link >> Google Plus Link of PaulOBrien >>See this also
Now both the above try to resolve by connecting the mobile to you desktop/lappy in order to execute the command. There is an alternate option available here which might also work >> S7 Edge not showing notifications in tray and "recent apps" button and settings button dnt work
It talk about doing it by following this steps
"And I followed what the user Mike Tompkins said: "Did this using nova launcher. Long press home screen choose shortcut, activities, setup wizard, setup wizard test activity. Creates shortcut, open follow directions. Not sure if it really helps. Didn't have issue."
Here's the fix, being broken down dummy style:
1) Download Nova Launcher & set it as default to replace TouchWiz.
2) Long press on the home screen.
3) Choose Widgets.
4) At the top, under Nova Launcher, scroll to the right & press & hold on Activities and place it somewhere empty on the home screen.
5) Scroll down to Setup Wizard. I saw 2 Setup Wizard options.
6) Under the first Setup Wizard option, I opened it & scrolled down to the 3rd choice which said ".SetupWizardTestActivity". It might be in a different spot for you, but look at the small writing, that's how I saw this one.
7) Select that to create the widget shortcut.
8) Open it. Apparently you're supposed to have a menu to go through and just click through "Next", but there wasn't one for me.
The screen just flashed and then next thing you know, everything works!
But I am unable to find the .".SetupWizardTestActivity"
Any suggestion?
Moreover whenever I am going to developer option I see this message "Developer option is not available for this user"
I am sure I don't have any other user added to this handset.
Help & suggestions?
I have been able to access the device using abd, after adding permission, and have downloaded the logcat files of the device which is attached herewith >> Unable to attach logcat as am a new user, let me know how I can add them.
Now when I am connecting the devices via adb, the devices are showing in adb devices.
When i am executing this command >> adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
I am getting this following message:
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.google.android.setupwizard/com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupWizardTestActivity} does not exist.
I am not sure why this problem is appearing? any help to fix this issue of home button, recent button, notification issues fixed?

Yes the problem seems to be System UI or something, I am not sure. I had rooted the device after the problem appeared, but it didn't able to resolve the issue. Today I had installed MIUI 8.0 on the device and all the problem disappeared, so it seemed like the problem, was with the bug in MIUI 7, or inherent bug when upgrading from KitKat to MM.
I just installed magisk through the magisk manager app and it went just fine, but now when I've rebooted my home and menu buttons aren't working. I get the vibration response but no action. the menu key does bring up manus in apps but it doesn't do what it did before installing Magisk... Can I reset the buttons functionality somehow? I'm running LineageOS 14.1 on a Redmi Note 4. Please help!
his is an Android issue.
Step instructions:
- Download Nova Launcher. If you cannot from the google play store, search for it on Chrome and download an apk version
- Install it (you may get a pop up advising you need to let apps installed from chrome, go to settings and allow it)
- Once installed, click on Open. This should launch the Nova Launcher
- Long press anywhere on the screen
- Choose Widgets.
- Look for the Activities widget and hold and place it anywhere on the screen.
- Scroll down to Setup Wizard. There's two, one that's "Setup Wizard" and the other "SetupWizard" without a space. Choose the first. There should be an option under it called ".SetupWizardUpgradeActivity". It might be slightly different for you pending the version OS you have but that's what came up for me.
- Select that to create the widget shortcut then click to open.
- This will bring you to the setup wizard and then just click Next all the way through (turn off any preferences you may have in the past)
You can uninstall Nova Launcher afterwards if you want. You don't need to set it as default.

Hi
Can anyone help - I want to access the System UI tuner on P20 pro, to remove icons like Bluetooth and NFC from the status bar.
I found a tutorial (link below) which gives me access to the System UI menu - however the options don't seem to have any effect and there is no option to turn off the NFC icon - can anyone help?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm8PEYKrjrw
This was so easy on my Oneplus.....not sure why Huawei make it so difficult!
Thanks
Don't bother with the tuner. Simply use adb:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist nfc,bluetooth ... then reboot.
Or if you're rooted, just... settings put secure icon_blacklist nfc,bluetooth in a terminal emulator on the phone, then reboot
Full guide here... https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/remove-nfc-icon-root-adb-t3507739 It's for the HTC10, but works for the P20 Pro
Thanks however I don't have access to a desktop. Only my phone or an iPad

Not possible without either root or adb AFAIK.
The inbuilt System UI Tuner (Demo Mode) doesn't work properly for me either and, as you said, doesn't have NFC as an option anyway.
I don't want to root my phone but I want to remove the gesture bar and make the status bar smaller. the problem is that adb overscan no longer works on android 11, anyone knows an alternative?
Also interested in this. It's annoying that the gesture bar takes up space in other apps. Then it looks like you have a black chin. So would love it and also a smaller status bar indeed, so to make the front camera fit exactly. Now you have some space underneath it.
I was thinking about removing that bottom pill, but then I learned about a gesture that's kind of hidden. You can do a quick app change but swiping right on the pill. Does that still work without the nav/pill? It's honestly one of the most useful gestures.
to disable the navbar altogether:
install magisk
open terminal
magisk resetprop qemu.hw.mainkeys 0
reboot
???
profit

OMG dude I'm so sorry, qemu.hw.mainkeys 0 is what reenables it.
You should do qemu.hw.mainkeys 1 to disable the navbar.
Make sure if you're using a 3rd party nav gesture app to enable it and enable 3 button navbar FIRST.
You can still use gestural navigation with this enabled, so you can open the notif shade, enter settings, and revert if something breaks.
MAKE SURE TO READ THE OPTIONS CAREFULLY I'M TYPING THIS FROM MEMORY
Here's a better option:
install magisk
install magisk hide props config
open terminal
Code:
su
props
4
n
qemu.hw.mainkeys
1
y
and you should no longer have a navbar.
you can go back and delete the prop through the props menu to revert

Hello. Idk if you are all still interested in this topic. I have also updated to A11 and i found a relative easy solution. right now im on a Oneplus 7 pro GM1913 OOS 11.0.02.GM21BA with magisk v23 patched boot img no twrp.
I have found the "Fullscreen/Immersive Gesture(Q-S)" Magisk module to help and be a fix for now. You can get it directly through magisk if you search for it. !Important! When installing only choose "Fullscreen" with volume buttons. The others don't seem to work with OOS.

And the best part is, that it doesn't require a root
So, how to remove status bar now ? Or atleast hide it.
