Introduction
Did you upgraded to KitKat and want to hide Navigation Bar and use third party Pie control like LMT?
Well, maybe you find that LMT doesn't show from the bottom of screen after you did all above steps, right? It happen to me too.
This is why I created this Xposed mod. It will disable Navigation Ring, so your third party navigation will again show at the bottom of screen. Enjoy!

Hi @smyrosnik and @6ril1,
I have 20a and no lg keyboard fc issue. Can you provide me logcat?
My LG keyboard version is 4.4.28, if you have older, try software update.
I don't think weather is broken by my mod. It doesn't work at all, no matter if I activate or disable my mod.
I am guessing the mod is modifying build.prop. In this case whether I try to hide navigation button through the mod or by addding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to that file has the same result. It causes the weather widget to malfunction and sometimes the keyboard fc. The keyboard version is 4.4.22. I have used both Stock 4.4.2 international version for D802 and CloudyStock 1.2. Same problem
I will provide the log as soon as possible.

Not modifying build.prop, but overwrite android config value. Basically output is same. As you guys said, this is common way for most mods to hide navigation, nothing special.
Weird is that weather widget doesn't work on my device. When I add it to home screen or lock screen it ask to download 75MB update. After that update add again doesn't work at all.
Any idea why the mod doesn't seem to do anything? Installed,activated and rebooted, the navigation bar is still there. Would love to get some pie for the stock ROM finally,feels so cramped with the bar

Do you have any other mod activated, which have options to tweak navigation bar?
It could be that this other mod revert it back.

Nevermind this was caused by leftover line in build.prop (hwkeys=0), works great now after removing it. Now the only problem is that stock keyboard doesn't show suggestions, otherwise it works well but the boxes where the suggestions should be are empty. That I can live with

This is really weird. I got similar issue when I upgraded LG Keyboard to 4.4.23 version. It break keyboard theme. Actually suggestions were there, but they got same text color like background, so it looks like empty.

Hi, I'm using this mod but I still have the navigation ring.
When I activate it only soft keys disappears.
I use only this mod + gravity box.
You gave me light at the end of the tunnel. I was about to convince myself a huge nav bar is fine, until I saw this. Works great with GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys.
Thanks!

Well, your screenshot show gravity box crash. Gravity box is quite powerfull mod, it tweaks a lot of things. Try to check it's settings if there is anything related to Navigation Ring. Like I wrote before, if using multiple mod which tweaks navigation bar, it could happen that my mod disable it and next mod enable again.
You can simply confirm it by disabling gravity box for the moment and restart.

What I see is a lot of missing files and resources needed for keyboard to run. This looks really strange. You are running original LG stock ROM? Anything disabled or removed?
I don't think I can solve missing keyboard files. Do you have latest 4.4.28 keyboard?
This may be a stupid question, but will Xposed work for the 7a? I strongly dislike Color OS and am waiting patiently for ROMS, but in the meantime I'd like to use Xposed to tweak some of the small annoyances of Color OS.
update: I installed Xposed and none of the modules that I am interested in seem to work. I really want the exchange security bypass (for lock screen features) and on-screen keys. I realize there is a work-around for on-screen keys, but I wanted to take the easy way out

It's already in the center on ColorOS which causes notifications to often go into overflow... I HATE centerclock for this reason (and you'll find that issue is why many custom firmwares refuse to merge that feature - it breaks notification icon layout)

To be prevent confusion its on the right in 1.2 and center in the beta although I think both could be fairly described as beta but that's grist for a different thread. lol At any rate totally agree. Center clocks serve no purpose I can discern but reduce the available notification area by more than half and even a pathetic old man like me who no one talks to can run out of space up there pretty quick with one.
I never thought that it would be this much of a pain to disable the sodding on screen buttons on the Pixel. This thing alone is making the otherwise excellent experience of it rather moot. I can't stand this thing.
I have tried the GMD Auto Hide soft keys app, but it doesn't work on 7.1.1. Then I tried the All In One Gesture app, it did hide the on screen buttons under some immersive modes but then there is no proper Pie like control in that app, making the point moot for me. Then I found LMT, which gives back Pie but no way to hide the on screen buttons. I have given up at this point.
So is there a way? Or do I have to wait until Xposed is released for 7.1.1 and then use the Gravity Box's Pie Control?
WETA ROM. You can choose no nav bar during install, and then use LMT.
^^^
Weta ROM, DU ROM.
GMD does work on 7.1.1. However, many GMD users like me abandoned it for one reason or another. One, the keyboard has to regain focus. Two, it doesn't work in some apps. Three, in some apps, it simply hides the nav buttons, but the bottom row blank, still wasting a row of space.
Thanks guys but I really want to stay with the stock ROM. I guess waiting is the only option now.

I'm in the same boat I want to get rid of the hideous soft keys. The build.prop suggestion from the Nexus line did not work ? some developer please help us!
The moment Xposed is available I'm gonna install the GravityBox and then use that Pie Control, which will make the soft keys go away for good. But till then no option it seems, or probably with the help of 2 apps.

I can see someone's reluctance. Let's say it only works "half-way", the nav buttons are removed, and he gets errors in an app. Without nav buttons, he can't get back to the home screen to revert his changes. That may be the main reason I activated "OK Google" so I can still run apps by voice when I play around with the nav bar.

Just did the build.prop edit, it did the job fine of making the on screen keys disappear, LMT worked fine too, but there are just too many system FC messages! Not possible to use as it is.

Are the FC messages from disabling the nav bar or from the LMT. Sorry if I misunderstood you, I'm just trying to get clarity.

Have to be from the missing nav bar because apps look for interactions from those buttons. There has to be a graceful error trapping logic to handle the disappeared buttons. In other words, you can't simply yank them.

Nah for that missing nav bar or whatever the hell its called. Adding that line is the reason, not LMT I am sure. But you could try that and see whether the same is happening to as well or not.
I can't wait for Xposed to release for 7.1.1. I don't know whether burn in already happened or not, but mental burn in for me definitely happened in these short three days of usage, other than the fact its an incredibly stupid thing to have on a phone.

If you "can't take the chance of having a bootlooping phone", then you shouldn't be making ANY modifications to your phone. Even if you're using mods that are proven to work, what happens if you make a typo? You're taking the chance of having a bootlooping phone.

Don't agree with you about the latter part. I have been modifying stuffs on all phones I use, simple stuffs, installing this and that Xposed module, testing them, never once I had to face any boot looping issue, ever. Never did edit anything build.prop though.
Thanks for your concern though.
Hi to all!
I'm experiencing a really strange thing when try to set an HOME gesture with some of most famous apps for that purpose, like ALL IN ONE GESTURES, EDGE GESTURES and similar.
If I set recent apps and back gesture, they work in every way I set them...but if I try to set ANY KIND of gesture for returning to home... nothing happens.
The command work properly (I feel the haptic vibration, or alinz, that starts when a command is performed), but the gesture won't work in the end...
Anyone noticed that too? Maybe there's something I missed for make them work?
I use swipe up from bottom border and it works for me. I use aio.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk
I didn't find the cause yet but it is also happening to me. If I reboot the phone the home gesture starts to work fine, it only breaks if I re-enabled the nav bar + disable immersive mode using their quick tiles provided by joneplustools and systemuituner. The easiest solution is to reboot the phone.
Well but are you rooted?
Because I can disable navbar but on home screen it'll be always there, so I can't use bottom gestures, only edge...

Without root the navbar always shows if you swipe from the bottom. You could try a 0px navbar by I think it doesn't work in OOS at the moment.

I already have the 0pt navbar and used successfully on S8 but with OnePlus it just don't works, I suppose because the navbar is named "drawable" in OnePlus internals while in APK it's "navbar", at least I've read it on multiple sources...

Yeah that must be the reason.
If you don't want to root right now your solution is to use a gesture app like edge gestures or swipe navigation because you can use gestures from the right/left edge so you activate the navbar less often.
It's not ideal but is has one advantage; for example when I want to close a game using the back button, the gesture sometimes is not recognized and I have to activate the navbar using the quick setting and that sometimes breaks the home gesture like we discussed yesterday so I have to reboot the phone sometimes. You only have to swipe from the bottom and it's all fine.

According to my experience this kind of problem is most likely caused by a third party app, possibly an xposed module or some half baked apk. Privately exchange a list of your installed apps, compare and concentrate on the more dubious apps you have in common and you may find your culprit there.

Yeah that's the main gripe. I suppose you are concerned about burn-in.
I don't know if stock OOS Oreo will fix that. Maybe some Dev can mod the navbar file as I was done with the old filetype as in the Galaxy S8.
I also can tell you that on LiquidRemix 8.0 ( it's on a Telegram group as is in testing stage ) you could hide the navbar completely without root but I understand that you don't want to change the rom and right now is has bugs so is better to stay in Oxygen.
Right now I'm using stock OOS 4.7.4 with root and to update is super easy, just download and flash the full zip, flash your kernel + magisk/superSu after and it's done.
I don't know if you care about Android Pay...

I can tell you that on a fresh installed OOS 4.7.4 without third party apps it doesn't work. The problem is that on Oxygen the navbar has another name in system so that mod doesn't work.
No I don't care about it because there's no need for it now, at least for me.
I've always rooted phones, no problems with that, it's just that I don't feel the need to do it with 5T since is nearly stock and good to run stock "as is"...
I had an iPhone for a few years and the pixel brought me back. The progress android has made has been phenomenal but I see a few things missing that used to be here before. Honestly I think I'm overlooking it but who knows.
FYI I have an unlocked bootloader and am running magisk running stock rom and kernel.
1. I used to love my Note 1's navbar with the search and menu button in the navbar. I remember xposed being able to do it but the modules haven't been updated and just cause a bootloop on the pixel. The customnavbar by paphonb doesn't allow you to have the menu button on the bar. Is there a way to make this work with oreo?
2. What happened to the text notifications? I replaced Google's main text app with Textra but I recall there being custom notifications and ringers all being in the contacts app.
3. What happened to changing the apps notification sound? Back then it was really easy to set the sound of the apps but I hardly see that feature.
4. Can you change the lockscreen clock font? I changed my system font and the clock has a question mark where the colon used to be. I know I could find another font but I really like this one.
5. How do you get in and out of the phone quickly? I find myself double tapping on the display and most of the time it works. Is there a better way?
Note: I saw some of these tweaks were on substratum but I couldn't get it to work for me. I tried to use substratum but the themes won't take because I'm on stock or because I don't know what I'm doing. I would like a clean lockscreen or one where I could swipe to the left or right and start recording. I forget the name but there used to be an app that customized the lockscreen.
If anyone could help me figure out Oreo I would greatly appreciate it!

The font fix is exactly what I needed. I hated that square or question mark for the colon!
The custom nav bar app is the one I was talking about by php. I don't see a way to add the menu button to the nav bar on that app but I'll look and confirm.
I still use my iPhone silicone cases for this phone so the fingerprint won't work. That's disappointing I thought there might be a quicker way.

I still use my iPhone silicone cases for this phone so the fingerprint won't work. That's disappointing I thought there might be a quicker way.
Thanks though!

Either get a new case or cut a hole for the fingerprint reader. Problem solved ?

When you have cases like these cutting them is NOT an option

That's fair, but they aren't meant for the pixel phones. Sell them and get a new one with a proper cut out for the fingerprint reader.

It does but it doesn't let you add the menu to the navbar. And it also removes the battery percentage from the status bar for me. I wish it worked because that would be perfect for me with the navbar and customizable sounds [emoji21]

If you are stock flash this in TWRP and enable systemui tuner to get menu on navbar without apps.

So I installed it but I'm not sure what to do next. System tuner was already activated but I don't see any other options. Do you have the original thread this was posted in? I don't want you to spoon feed it to me but I'm lost after the flash

My bad. I forgot an edit. Here is one for January update and February update. Hopefully they will work.
Edit: should look like this.

What if I flash magisk, flash this mod, uninstall magisk? Will that keep this mod intact?

I'll let the Dev weigh in on that. It's his mod and wouldn't want to give any misinformation with it's installation after the February update :good:

So this adds the button that looks like the menu but it doesn't function like the menu at all. It disappears and I think it has to do with the 66 being set as the code. I don't think that's the right code for the menu button to actually work. I took a screenshot.
Either way I'm giving up for now
