So I really want to mod the Nav Bar (forcing menu button to show, changing size, etc) but I only found a way only by enabling nav bar mods in GravityBox or Xblast tools. But when I do that, the back button on the Nav Bar becomes unusually large compared to other buttons. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? If you need a screenshot I'll upload one.
Thanks in advance.
Apparently I'm not alone on that - I'm running ViperOne and the same thing happened when i wanted to do some color-modding. I gave up on it and shrank it and it evened out - I went to 65% originally, but now am at 55%. Not sure where the line is, but if you shrink it, it will even up with the other two eventually.

Has anyone found a solution to this? I have even tried using SoftkeyZ but when I do that it does the opposite and shrinks the back button to the point it looks ridiculous.

I would love to find a solution to this as well. Don't like having to downsize the nav bar to make them even.

Have you tried [APP][4.0+]Ultimate Dynamic Navbar ?

Thanks for the tip! I use GravityBox for its handy Navigation Ring mods. Can Dynamic Navbar modify the Nav Ring and/or work with GravityBox when it is modifying the Nav Ring? Also, is this safe allowing blanket permissions without seeing the source code? Sorry, I'm not a dev, curious what more informed people know about this…

I just went ahead and tried this. Didn't work for me. When I opened Ultimate Dynamic Navbar, most of the options were unreadable—they just had an ellipsis, the last one or two words of the option description, and then perhaps a checkbox. You couldn't read it. I tried it in both portrait and landscape, always with GravityBox disabled and after a full reboot. Doesn't seem to work correctly on m8 for whatever reason.

Again I'm not a dev, but I wonder if this—implemented in the mod—would fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452822. I'll post this in the GravityBox thread I guess…
Have you tried seeing how you can customize it with [MOD][Xposed] Xtended NavBar ?
It fairly new though, status still shows as testing...Looks interesting nontheless.

Been loving the Nexus 7 from the day i got it, but only one thing bothers me and that is the navigation bar.
Whie in portrait mode there's nothing wrong with it,m but once you are in landscape mode the bar moves to the bottom half of the screen.
Is there any mod available to make the nav bar go to the sides in landscape mode (like phones do)?
Been trying multiple roms and apps but none seem to have this feature.
Anyone knows a way to make this happen?
No one knows something that can help me?

GravityBox has an option to force the navbar to the bottom on landscape mode (obv. for phones). Seems like a request to the dev could yield the opposite option for tablets.

Awesome, gonna contact him immediately !
I have done some basic mods for the Pixel that have been well received, and @StickyEyez requested I do it for the Pixel XL as well. You can see my original post here https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/themes/mod-navbar-tuner-additional-qa-tile-rows-t3522314
**I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES TO YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK**
**v1.0 2017.01.05**
This mod is based on the NMF26V update, but it should work on NMF26U as well. It may work on older versions, but I have no information regarding this. If you want to test on other versions, you should back up your original /system/framework/framework-res.apk and system/priv-app/SystemUIGoogle/SystemUIGoogle.apk
NMF26# increased the NavBar height to a ridiculous 48dpi, so I have added 4dpi step-downs to 32dpi.
I've also made changes to make the Statusbar slightly smaller at 20dpi (original is 24dpi).
Only install one of each mod at a time. The NavBar/Statusbar mode impacts framework-res.apk and System UI mods impact SystemUIGoogle.apk, so if you select multiple it'll just install the last one you selected.
The mods that can be applied are:
NavBar/StatusBar dpi
0dpi/0dpi
0dpi/20dpi
0dpi/24dpi
32dpi/24dpi
32dpi/20dpi
36dpi/24dpi
36dpi/20dpi
40dpi/24dpi
40dpi/20dpi
44dpi/24dpi
44dpi/20dpi
48dpi/20dpi
SystemUI Mods
NavBarUI Manager + Brightness
NavBarUI Manager + Brightness + 4 QS Tiles
NavBarUI Manager + Brightness + 4 QS Tiles + Battery Mod
Return to Stock
framework-res.apk
SystemUIGoogle.apk
Note, the 0dpi/0dpi mod is actually 0dpi/1dpi because if you set the statusbar to 0dpi you cannot pull it down while in apps. If applied to a standard setup, you will find that the tops of the clock show in the statusbar, and will not look good. But if you use a different launcher, I have been told this is not noticeable.
You can download the mod here Stranula_Full_Flash_v1.zip
To install you will need to have TWRP installed, then simply install the zip and follow the on screen menus.

I am starting the mod, but I don't have a Pixel XL, so I need a few people to volunteer to test it.
I am just starting the mods now, but they won't take long so if you can test it this morning, let me know, and I will PM you a link in a while

**UPDATE**
I am about to be on a plane for the rest of the day, so I've updated the original post. @Cbass15 has reported the installer and mods to be working, so hopefully it is good to go. He is also going to be putting up some screenshots soon.
Here is just a couple of screenshots...
The first picture is a picture of the 4QT, along with brightness adjuster removed and battery percent enabled
The picture with a Nav bar is 32/24
The picture without a Nav Bar is 0/20
Want to see anymore screenshots before you flash? Let me know,I'll hook you up with one. :good:
Any chance of adding the center clock mod?
I don't see much point in removing the brightness slider as it does not shrink the area it was in. Unless you literally don't want to accidentally touch it.

If you don't want to disable the brightness bar, then don't disable it. It is an option in the UI Tuner. You can toggle it easily.

Yeah, it's a toggle. I just find it unfortunate that it doesn't really shrink down.
Thanks for this package, BTW. I just did this manually myself yesterday because nobody had anything that would allow for the navbar tuner in 7.1.1...

Unfortunately, not from me. I don't have the time to invest in modding. I just happen to be on vacation and had some spare time to do this.
I've been waiting to root and install TWRP until we get xposed framework because I want to hide the nav bar and enable pie controls. I see with this mod that I can hide the nav bar. Are there any good apps or installs for pie control like the GravityBox module with Xposed? I would love something that works similar to the pie controls in GravityBox. I've tried stuff like LMT but it doesn't appear to be as smooth.

Do you need to have another app installed to replace the nav bar or no?
Dude u champ! This is what I've been looking for. The navbar is way too big at stock. I keep bumping it when typing too.
Any chance u can make it even smaller?

If you don't want the nav bar at all, you will need something like pie controls or something similar.
I'm looking for a way to make the navigation bar transparent so when in an app like Chrome or YouTube you can see what's on the tab itself rather than the black bar with the navigation keys. I tried using apps that hide the navigation bar but I felt that it added an unnecessary stuff. So what I'm looking for is a way to make the bar transparent but still have the navigation buttons (home, multi function and back buttons) still be accessible. Anyone in know how this can be done? Also, not looking for ways that require root.

I'd like to know this as well. I know you can use Nav Bar Apps (Play Store link) to change the color of the Nav bar based on the app you are using. However, I haven't been able to use it to make the nav bar transparent.
For now, I've enabled full immersive mode and use Pie Control (Play Store link). So I almost never see the nav bar on the bottom of the screen. The only time the bottom nav bar shows up is with the Google Keyboard and I haven't figured out a way to disable that yet.

I basically spent the whole day looking for an answer but the closest I came was a video on how to do it on a LG g3. It requires root though. Can't believe that with all the thin bezels this year, a way hasn't been found. It defeats the purpose to having thin bezels when the navigation bar makes it look like the bezels are huge. Smh
I'd like the same!! I've enabled immersive mode, but when it's enabled, it causes weird locking/unlocking screen issues.

Check the thread where you got the adb command. There is an shell command you can execute and it's fixed the freezes for me.

Hi.
Got my OP5T 4 days back..
Does anyone in the forum know if we can use only gestures instead of virtual navigation buttons like iPhone x..coz I hate how it consumes space at the bottom..
Previously I was using all in one gestures to control my volume in OP3.
Thanks,
Shyam
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk
I would love if it had the same gestures as the iPhone X.
All in one gesture, and if u go down to the themes and apps portion of this forum there is a post that shows u how to hide the navigation bar
Dunno if this is what you're looking for, but on my previous device I used the app "J Touch" from the Play Store as my navbar replacement+. Haven't got my 5T yet, but i intend to load it up immediately as I, too, dislike losing that precious real estate.
Using All In One Gesture and disabled the nav bar using Substratum's Navbar Height Changer theme (requires root).
Works like a charm. No more hitting the home button when missing the keyboard space bar!

I'm doing the same but it breaks the power menu I've found. It does a soft reset instead of bringing up my reboot options. At least I think that's what's happened.

How is it?
It won't launch without the location permission for advertising purposes.
I'm now running xposed to disable the navbar, but of course that triggers safetynet...
I'd really appreciate if someone could help finding a way to disable the navbar without xposed and the reboot breaking subtratum theme I would be extremely grateful!

Gravitybox!
In 'navigation bar tweaks' turn on the master switch and then turn 'enable navigation bar' off.
It should work fine after a reboot!

I combined 0 nav bar height with LMT https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
and swipe navigation https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation&hl=en
You can also bind navigation actions like back, home, recent to an edge menu like Swiftly Switch. (no root or xposed required) Though you do have to enable permissions like drawing over other applications.
All of these solutions seem kinda messy and require rooting. Is there no clean way to do this without modding my phone?

Hi y'all,
I want to remove navigation bar and status bar completely.... even when keyboard is in use. Is there a way to do it? (I do want them to show up when I swipe up/down navigation bar and status bar respectively).
I was looking at https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/mod-navbar-gone-root-t3704916 Does this achieve what I want to do with 8.1 January Update on P2? I want to avoid installing apps as much as possible.
Thank you

My method removes Navbar completely. No swiping is going to get it back. You want immersive mode I would think.
Hey, thanks for the info. How do I take the back/home/recently opened apps actions in this case? Also, does it remove status bar too or is it just for navigation bar?

If you remove Navbar completely you need LMT or something similar to replace it. It is for Navbar only. Immersive mode can be used with either or both statusbar and Navbar.
Thanks. Yea, I think I'll try immersive mode and see if it works for both and can use swipe up/down to temporarily bring it back. Looking at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-hide-navigation-bar-status-bar-app-t3509747 Let's see.

That's what I did and am using now. I think it's awesome. But I think, not sure, it might have given me issues with unlocking my screen every once in a while when it goes into sleep. I say I think, cuz I'm not willing to give up immersive mode for a reboot or now as I've found bringing up camera to wake up every now and then. So just be on the look out. Thought it might be Ex kernel also I did both around same time.
