Develop Bugs

Coming from Nexus 5, have some questions on OP3

I use Gravitybox on my Nexus so I'd like to do the same on the OP3.
It looks like the OP3 has physical nav buttons, which is to say, I can't add to that with anything.
Is there an IME switcher that shows up anywhere when typing for easily switching between keyboards? What about adding arrows for cursor navigation. I use Swiftkey for my keyboard, so unless I enable the keyboard row, there's no way to move the cursor with it. On the Nexus, I used the function in Gravity box to add cursor keys to the nav bar, but OP3 having physical buttons seems like it would put a stop to that too.
If I keep it stock and used systemless root/xposed/etc via Magisk, would it pass safetynet checks as it does on the Nexus when I turn them off?
Are there any other caveats I'd need to look out for?
(And in the interest of fairness, what would likely be the best improvements I notice too?)

You can enable navigation bar on the oneplus 3, even if there is physicals buttons.
The IME switcher will show up in the navbar if you enable it, or in the notification if you don't.
I don't know about root and safetynet

Enable by way of default options or if I'm using Gravitybox specifically?

There is an option on the settings of the stock rom:good:

Welp, the physical size is bigger than I was hoping, but I can't find a better option on all the other specs.
This is most likely the only viable phone then and will be what I end up getting.
We shall see.

If needed you can use LMT to display the "pie" and customize actions.

That looks like it may do what I want.
I'm not quite familiar with it, can you make it so if I call it up, it persists until I dismiss it?
Thinking along the lines of bringing up a menu with "[<] [Dismiss] [>]" to let me do multiple arrow presses.
If that's doable, then that would fully take care of what I'm looking for.

disable Navigation Bar in LineageOS

Hello! I'm hoping that I can disable the soft navigation bar, and go to a more traditional Fire OS style of navigation, using swipe navigation.
I found a post caliming that "PImp my rom" can disable the nav bar, but it didn't seem to respond to the tweak option, and I still have the soft nav bar
Thank you,
cheers
***Solved***

But expandable Desktop doesnt set the on screen keys to disable, only hide. They'll still show if you're swiping up.
Adding a new line with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to root/system/build.prop with a text editor Will permanently disable on-screen keys. It would have been handy if there was a UI shortcut for that somewhere.
Anyway I force-disabled Screen buttons, set Double tap to recent apps, and hold button to google now. Then bought the app you suggested to set all 3 swipe from bottom gestures to mimic the back function. Now the navigation feels just like FireOS's except amazon search assistant is replaced with google and I love it.

Using a prop editor, I was able to add h qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to root/system/build.prop <-- fantastic fix
I then customized the home button to do double tap-- app library, and hold-- switch back to last app.
Swipe Navigation works wonders, just as Chocolina stated above

Better solution
If you want to completly disable navigation bar soft keys then you must install slim kat,you can easily completly disable the soft keys and can add swipe up navigation just like amazon..i m also using slim kat rom and i have personally tested all roms but look wose slim kat is the best rom and no bugs in it..i have also disabled the system navigation keys and added swipe up to go back and hold home button for recent apps.

Hide navigation bar on rooted stock 7.0

Someone got to permanent hide the softkeys on nougat? I've already tried putting "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" at the end of build.prop as I always did in my other phones, but that don't seen to work. I've tried too using a lot of overlays to set the softkeys height to 0, but with no sucess also. Besides that, I've tried to decompile de framework-res.apk and modify the navbar height value to 0, what gives me no navigation bar but no status bar too.
Any another way that will work? Am I missing something? I really want to use lmt and hide those screen space eaters

Just use https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967, there is an option to hide the navigation bar

Unfortunately a swipe up will bring the buttons, and I want to really disable it in order to use lmt on the bottom of the screen

You ever figure this out..this has got to be the most annoying thing about this phone.

I use Assistive touch app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luutinhit.assistivetouch and have a floating button which helps me to navigate. One tap for back, double tap to home and hold for recent. It's quite useful and convenient. It's always there at the thumb position and easy to reach. I use Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.simonesestito.ntiles and created a custom tile for immersive mode to hide navbars only, yes if you swipe from bottom you'll find the navbar there but i don't need to cuz I use the floating button all the time. That build prop command works for me, I've tried that earlier but i choose the immersive mode because if Assistive touch crases (which never happened till now) I can use the navbar as backup. The command you're using is right, I don't know what's the issue but you can reset your device and then try if it works.

Any working overlays to reduce navbar height?

As title. The overlays that previously worked on my note 9 no longer install.

not advertisement but you can use my app custom navbar and then enable gesture navigation on the note 10 this will make the bar extremely thin while still retaining tap buttons as well as gestures seamlessly, see the attached picture you see how close i am able to push the home button to the edge almost like the chin disappears entirely

not advertisement but if you download my app and enable samsung gesture navigation you get an extremely thin navbar with both gesture and tap seamlessly
edit:for some reason it became a doublepost

Thanks, what is the name of the app? I want to try it

You can hide the navbar anyway? There's an option in the gesture settings

I don't think you're understanding what he's saying.
Built-in OnePlus gestures are terrible. You can see some stupid animations that can't be removed when you swipe the edges or the bottom.
What he's saying is that you can hide the nav bar and completely use a third party gesture system (without invoking the native gesture system). This allows better speed and removal of animations.

Yeah....
With this app you can use Other apps for gestures, oneplus gestures are very simple for me... With edge gestures, you can open apps, lock screen with custom gestures

So, which gestures app is the best to use?
I kinda miss the bottom left/right swipe to go back...

Mmm, Edge Gestures doesn't seem to have split bottom actions. Or am I missing this?
Trying Fluid Gestures for the moment.
