So I am a LONG time Samsung user. I've had every generation of the Note's and recently moved to the Pixel XL after returning my Note 7.
The phone is great and silky smooth so far but my biggest gripe and I know this is something I could become accustomed too if I had too but I was hoping that maybe there was an easy way to swap the placement of the two buttons.
On Samsung's the back button is on the right and the recent apps button on the left. Almost all other Androids are swapped (The Pixel is no different obviously) but trying to re-wire 6 plus years of back button pressing is going to be a lot of work and I have my fingers crossed there is a way to to do this easily within settings somewhere that I have missed.
The buttons themselves are merely icons on the screen, so swapping their positions doesn't seem unreasonable, I know you can do it with a rooted phone but I obviously don't care to void my day old phone's warranty quite yet. I'd understand if they were illuminated buttons on the bezel like the Samsung phones, but these are icons.
Anyone figure this out?
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried the app All in One Gestures? I don't have my Pixel XL yet, but I use the All in One Gestures app to swap the back and recent buttons on my Galaxy S6.
First off, unlocking the bootloader and modifying does not void the warranty on Google phones. There are no software methods included to swap the navbar icons. Only way remaining is to unlock the bootloader and look for a way to mod it.

Custom ROM only the?
Wasn't there a mod that went around with the Nexus 6P that added more options to UI Tuner for NavBar? Could this be done?
I came from Samsung also. If you decide to unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP you can use this. Works great is what I used before I went to pure Nexus. And u can flash back to stock it will stick with it. Until u do factory reset. Comes with aroma installer so you can decide what you want.

Just change them in system ui tuner.
If you don't have it. Pull down statusbar. Press the settings icon and hold it for about 5 secs.
Now you should have it in settings.
Go to navbar
There you can just pull the symbols by holding the = and pull them up or down.

Is this working for anyone ?
I mean, i get the system ui tuner, but theres no option for the nav bar.
I remember on the N6P we had to flash a zip first to make it visable.

It won't work. That option is not enabled by default. You need to decompile system ui apk and add a line of code to tuner_prefs.xml for nav bar to show up in system ui tuner.

You can do it in TWRP using the file manager in there. No root needed. Just temp boot TWRP swap the apks and reboot.

Yes, you can do it with root or booting twrp. One day Google will allow you to change this within the stock firmware.

Did you push and hold the cog wheel when you pull down the notification screen? You have to do it for a long 5 seconds, then the option for system UI should appear when you go into settings.

Yes, I did all that, but SystemUI does not have any NavBar settings, at least not in stock 7.1.1 ROM, even when rooted.

I would assume that since you are rooted, that you have TWRP installed or at least know how to do it?
I'd flash WETA Mod 3.1. https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/mod-weta-ui-mods-t3491181
Gives you a bunch of customization options including adding NavBar tuner back in the System UI. Easier I think than going in and messing with system files. At least IMO.

Also, GravityBox has many other tweaks!
Hey, iam on a nvidia shield tablet, but want navbar on right side in landscape. I tried gravity box + phab7.
It moves my navbar but all buttons are gone. If i enable the cursor keys while in text, i can see the left cursor. This makes me think the buttons are just outside of the visible area maybe?
Any ideas or someone who experienced the same issue?

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.

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
Hello,
I am just wondering if there is an option available, that would hide the back button while using the P (Pill) navigation on the Pie.. I'm asking mostly because of cosmetic standpoint.. For apps like Nova Launcher etc.. I love the functionality of the Pill, but because the back button always there, my OCD won't let me use anything else than stock launcher.
By the way, I saw the feature in some Pixel 3 XL ROM, on their forum (at least I think I did saw it..) That enables the Pill to swipe right to go back (as it should be by default by Google) If anyone has any idea or suggestions I would really appreciate it.
Maybe installing Nova Launcher as a system app would work?
I use custom navigation bar app to hide the nav bar all together and have it set up to only pop up when I swipe up on the navbar area. It then goes away a few seconds later.

I'm not sure if you can get rid of the back button but why don't you give the Fluid Navigation Gesture app a try. By using it you can completely get rid of the navigation bar and use only swipes from the bottom and/or edge of the screen to navigate. You can also set up all the actions you want to be present when you swipe up or swipe up and hold etc... Give it a try, a very useful app. ??
Thanks, I will try it!

Can't do those things with the stock pixel launcher to my knowledge. However, a modified pixel launcher might do the trick if your rooted. Look in this thread, and talk to @Tulsadiver to see if he can make one for you. What exactly isn't Nova launcher doing for you? Seems to be working fine for me.

You can remove the Google search bar, resize the icons and choose how many columns you want in the all-apps area and how many in the hot spot on the home page by using my Pixel Launcher zip installer. Plus background colors and text colors.
Choose one of the bases for No-Google search, flash anything else you like, lastly, flash complete installation. There will be a zip file created on your sdcard in a folder called ozop. Flash that via magisk manager.

The search bar is not removable from the Pixel Launcher dock, and the Pixel Launcher does not support infinite scroll for screens.

I did notice this but didn't think it a big enough deal to mention. To remove an individual page however, swipe up. The recents screen is gesture-based.
If you're using a Verizon device, then there's no root for you at all unless you were lucky enough to get a device that mistakenly was unlockable. Verizon locks their bootloaders.
Thanks for the tip on the swipe up. I hadn't tried that and it works.

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 (Unlocked) which is running Android 10. I was looking to remove the Google search bar as well.
All I did was long press on the bar itself, a menu then pops up with 2 options
1) Information about google search
2) Remove search bar from home screen.
So I press option 2 and hey presto it is gone. Have just done a reboot to check that it doesn't come back and it hasn't!
Could it really be that easy?????!!!!

On a Samsung it's possible as they aren't a Google Pixel and don't use the Pixel's stock launcher.
For a good while now, I've enjoyed switching the back and menu buttons so the back button is on the right side — seems more intuitive to me — when using the three button option.
Alternatively, if I use the swipe up feature instead, with the pill button...the back button stays on the right.
We've updated a Pixel 2 XL to Android 10 and Custom Navigation Bar app doesn't work.
I also tried running an ADB shell command:
Code:
settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space"
but that didn't help either on the 2 XL.
My 3 XL hasn't received the OTA update to Android 10 yet. I was hoping someone might have figured a way to swap the navigation buttons as I'm apprehensive about updating until I can achieve the swap.
Ideas/suggestions anyone...?
Thanks.

Depending upon what all else you might be interested in modding, you can flash this to swap your back and recents. You must choose three button mode because in two button mode, only the home button will show. This is a module so you can always delete it or disable it in magisk manager.
Edit: Very simple mod. No need to even decompile or recompile SystemUIGoogle.apk. Just in zip it, remove res/layout back.xml and recent_apps.xml. swap the names and replace.
how about for a VZW variant. I'd love to move the back button to the right so i can use the phone easier with one hand

Depending upon what all else you might be interested in modding, you can flash this to swap your back and recents. You must choose three button mode because in two button mode, only the home button will show. This is a module so you can always delete it or disable it in magisk manager.
Edit: Very simple mod. No need to even decompile or recompile SystemUIGoogle.apk. Just in zip it, remove res/layout back.xml and recent_apps.xml. swap the names and replace.

I tried this on my Essential PH1 and it didn't move the back to the right. Do I just use Magisk with that zip or do I have to change it? Any other way? I'm using 2 button navigation.

Did you read his message? for that zip to work you must use the navbar with 3 buttons, it doesn't work on the 2 buttons style

I tried 3 button as well and it had no effect. I guess I would prefer to use 2 button.

so maybe the problem is the different phone you own?
Op I'm in the same boat as you. I updated my 3 XL to android 10 and the first thing I tried to do was swap the back button to the right side. Sadly I couldn't make any method work as well. Hopefully someone will figure something out.
And here I am trying to figure out how I can use gestures with 3rd party launcher..
Even when I use fluid navigation or vivid navigation the recents no longer work

Fluid works great. That's what I use. You have to enable 3 button navigation.
Looks like we are a bunch of people with similar issue: we love to move the back key to the right, or give us full functional gesture navigation (which we could back from right edge of screen) with 3rd party launcher....
Hope someone come up something soon....
Tried make Nova launcher as a system app but this doesn't bring out recent gesture...

Recents works with this?
edit: Enabling 3 button navigation and then enabling gestures with any 3rd party app \ disabling nav bar works with recents
The only thing missing is "clear all" which is nobiggie
I can swap for two way, or three way, just not together. Here's a module for two way.

You must be rooted with Magisk. Once you are and if you are on stock 10, all you do is open Magisk manager, in the menu, click modules, click the "plus" button, find my mod that you should have put on your phones internal sdcard, flash it, and reboot.
