In OOS community builds and CM roms there is an option to temporarily lock/disable capacitive buttons. Wonder is there any method to do this in OOS 3.2.6?
sometimes it's really annoying while playing games. ????

I've stayed on CM11 because I dislike the virtual buttons of CM12 and CM13. I have "fat fingers" and the virtual buttons in CM11 make the bottom of the screen "wide" (tall?) enough that I don't hit two buttons and an app with my thumb.
CM12 and CM13 the button position that I use as "search," permanently remapped to "recent apps." I have no need of a dedicated recent apps button, as I use a long-press on the hardware home key for that.
Nothing I've been able to find online allows remapping that damned recents button back to "search." Trying to fuss with the inbuilt button manager only allows ADDING a search button, which adds clutter without functionality.
As I am able to homebuild CM11, I'm up-to-date with the security fixes, but within the next year or so, Google will be more or less forcing a move to Lollipop or Marshmallow by dropping support in the core "GApps" for 4.x base OS (i.e. JB and lower).
(I've managed to find workarounds for just about every other "issue" with 5.x and 6.x, but this one particular problem is stopping me in my tracks.)

Is there a good solution to change the function of the app drawer and back in Oxygen OS 4? I tried some apps but its useless. It's rooted.
Have you tried flar2's Button Mapper? It definitely works on OOS, though you will need to pay for a pro key to remap the back and recents buttons. That said, flar2 is an excellent developer and the key is well worth it.
Is it possible to activate the navbar plus the hard ware keys? I would like to normally use the hardware keys but have the navbar to use the music controller or the "new" clipboard feature or just have some extra buttens. Maybe for some Tasker action or so.
Iam on OOS.
I would use this mod as well. That's how I had my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser set up. Hardware keys with back on the right and soft keys with back on the left that way I could use either hand without having to reach across the phone to press back or recents. It was like a rigged up one-handed mode.
Edit for clarification: I used Xposed to have both hard and soft keys. I'm not sure how else it could be done, but I imagine it'd be a little more difficult that a few edited lines of code here and there.
It's possible to do this currently with a few different custom ROMs. Resurrection Remix, which I currently run, has the option to enable both hardware and software keys, and it is likely that many other Lineage-based ROMs would be able to as well.

Use LMT launcher's pie
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
Hello folks, I haven't made the jump to custom rom yet, still on stock miui, I don't mind it tbh.. but this is my first phone without physical navigation buttons (back, home , recents etc), is there anyway to make them permanent, i use a lot of apps where the whole screen is active, can be hard to being them up sometimes without interfering with the running app...
Thanks!
Find setting Full screen display

I've been a button user for years too, but damn if these gestures aren't so damn convenient. You can enable it from Settings ( search for Gestures ). You gonna try it for days if not hours, the revert back to gestures xD

miui was good when they allow other launcher (non miui or poco) tu use full gesture navigation, how ever after updating A11 miui 12.5 It's gone...you only can use gesture nav on poco/miui launcher only & that's suck...
since i do really hate both miui & poco launcher..i had to use again button navigation...(i use nova launcher)
I'd found the full screen display options before, I guess Im only really concerned about Microsoft Remote Desktop but I can't make the buttons permanent, they have that "toaster" function
for me i choose gesture navigation over permanent button, coz the phone look great when in full screen mode, despite the launcher...
F3 look great if we can use gesture nav & hide those status bar (poco launcher can't do this, only external launcher apps).. but that's all just a dream,since there's now way for stock non rooted poco f3 can bypass gesture nav for external launcher (don't know if custom romm do that...since my F3 not rooted yet
Remove NavBar Gesture Pill (and more) for Pixel 6 Pro
Update: This only works if you are rooted now, since the January 2022 patch. Hi guys, I've seen several posts asking how to remove the Gesture Pill. It's easy if you're rooted, but it's also possible if you're not rooted. Here is a step by step...
forum.xda-developers.com
Hi all!
The above link is from the Pixel 6 Pro forum. In it is a non-root method of using Fabricated Overlays (new to Android 12) to hide/remove either the navigation pill bar (thus, retaining default gestures without taking up screen space for the bottom pill) or the three button navigation bar (what I did to enable custom gestures, such as FNG). I'd like to spread the word in case anybody here is interested in trying it out on their Android 12-based custom ROMs.
For reference, I'm on Arrow OS 12.0 and got it working well enough, though this method also hides the pills that custom gesture apps provide. I currently use FNG to have three bottom swiped gestures (back, home, recents) and a right side swipe gesture (brings up my Panels apps and widgets) while also using Bottom Quick Settings. All work perfectly!
Is it normal for my fabricated overlays to be reset everytime I reboot ?
Anyway to make them persistent?
Thanks !

From what I can tell, the January security patch for AOSP roms has closed being able to use Fabricated Overlays to affect the navigation bar.
Before that, it was normal for the overlays to remain after reboot. I guess it depends on what OS you're using.
