I just updated my 5t to the Oreo open beta. Before that i was on OOS 4.7.6 and was using Substratum with the Navbar Height Plug in. It was working great on OOS 4.7.6. I had my nav bar set at the lowest DPI -18. Just barely visible so I could use All in one gestures as my main way of navigating and having access to the navbar for long press items(exiting screen pinning, double tap back to bring the notification panel down, etc..)
Now im looking for a way to do this on Oreo. The substratum method that was working before is not working on Oreo neither are any of the many navbar apps available.
What method can I use to change the Navbar height? I am looking for anyway I can change the dpi.
My end goal here is to shrink the navbar, nothing else.
To mention I am rooted and havent modified anything else.
I've got the exact same question so I'm bumping it. Went from 4.7.6 to 5.0 (Open Beta 1) and also used Navbar Height to set my Height to 0 to use Swipe Navigation. So far haven't found any other app/setting/build.prop editing sucesfully hiding my navbar.
I hide the navbar with this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75064981&postcount=91
Bumping this because I can't find a solution. Only more questions like mine. All I've found out is this is a problem specific to OnePlus(of course) and that they did something weird with the navbar on the 5t.
what about removing the nav bar. hate navnars
I got it working by installing https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lustools&rdid=net.jroot3d.joneplustools&pli=1 then adding the quick setting called Navigation Button that comes with the app.
I don't want to remove the navbar. I want to shrink it. Apparently OnePlus does something different as far as framework files for the navbar on Oreo. On oos 4.7.6(nougat) it worked just fine with substratum and any other app from the play store that modified the navbar. With the introduction of Oreo they changed something and it's very specific to just the 5t running Oreo. I just want to know what file I'm looking for and how to modify it be it with some framework edit or an app specific for the navbar on the 5t.

Hey bud are you on Oreo? I'm using the same thing but the notification button isn't working and even if I manage to hide my navbar I can't block it, it'll always slide up when I swipe.

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.

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.

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.
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.

I use this app and it works great. But, you might want to check the date of the post you're replying to next time. Last response before yours was from two years ago.
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...

Right now I'm rooted, yes.
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.

Well I don't have any X module since I'm not rooted, apps installed I don't know but I doubt it because are the same apps that was in S8 before, so I don't think that an app can interfere with the 0pt navbar functions...

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"...
Hi to all!
Just wanted to know if there's a possibility to get this APK work on out 5T too...on S8 it worked like a charm and easily bring the chance to navigate the phone without navigation soft keys, along with a swipe navigation app from Play Store (All In One Gestures for example).
This apk reduce the height of the navbar to 0, pratically will "delete" the navbar permanently (after a reboot), and the stock state could be reversed with simply uninstall this app.
But I noticed that this will not work on 5T: installed, reboot but navbar it's still there...
So, the question is: anyone knows how to get this to work with 5T too?

Looking for the same thing but one that shrinks the navbar like -18DPI or smaller. None of the available mods or substratum themes seem to work for Oreo regarding the navbar.
Ah, I'm on NOUGAT, hasn't switched to Oreo yet, waiting official OTA.
But I think that this, once "fixed", should work on Oreo and Nougat too...
At least...I hope...

On nougat there's a couple different ways. If your rooted there's a magisk module. If not you should be able to use Andromeda and use the substratum navbar height plug in.
Only thing regarding changing the height to -o is that it sometimes breaks your power button. So if you hold it it instantly reboots your phone.
There's a thread on how to get around that if your are rooted using Xposed temporarily to achieve hiding the navbar.

I'm not rooted, but that "Andromeda" thing? It's a Substratum module?
what does this apk do to the phone?
i know you wrote it will adjust the height to 0px
but whats the benefit out of it?

The benefit is to be able to use FULL display without on screen buttons, prevent burn-in because of softkeys...and let be able to navigate the phone with gestures with apps like All in one gestures or swipe navigation.
:good:
Best solution atm is to root your device and use jOnePlus Tools app. No need for Xposed at all, as jOnePlus Tools adds a qs tile to show/hide the navigation bar.
The best solution is that I think, found in another thread posted by @janres155 , that can be done with ADB without root, xposed or Substratum...only a single command in ADB shell will do the trick:

Hi, we all know about the bug that cuts the volume control on horizontal view when hiding navigation bar. But I have see a bug referred to notifications when hiding navigation bar with any app with adb permissions,in not rooted devices.
When you have the navbar hide and you enter some app from the notification (f.e. Telegram) you can see the notification on the notification bar until you get down the notification bar again.
This bug happens only when you have switched on the navbar hiding, independent from any gestures you have installed.
This bug is detected by the Zuknormales group.
Sorry for my poor English.
I can confirm. Same bug here on stock Android.
Anyone know of a fix?
I have these issues as well (volume setting cut off in landscape mode & notifications not automatically dismissing immediately after I open them). I've tried using various applications like XDA Gesture Navigation and Fluid NG to hide the navigation bar in hopes of a different result but they all have the same issues.
Currently using Fluid NG on Pixel 2 XL.
These are not "bugs". These are the results of messing with the system in a way that's not intended.
On that note I use an app called Fluid NG for gestures and hiding the NAV bar and have no such problems.

On another note, nearly all of us in the Fluid Navigation Gestures group on Telegram have the same issue and in fact the dev is working on it for his app.

And that's fantastic that the dev is looking into a fix. But, it still doesn't change my original point that this is NOT a bug as you're still messing with the system in an unintended way. Especially using a PC with ADB commands.
Try adding this to your build.prop file: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
I didn't have any more notification issues then. (but still have the keyboard jumping for a split second when opening which drives me a bit crazy all the time)
