smaller Softkeys

how can i customizable the Softkeys (root available) i want smaller and transparent Softkeys
xposed can this, but its not workable in the moment... so i seach a alternate method
any idea?
+1, would love this. Changing the DPI of the whole system doesn't really provide the right results as things like the camera are then borked.
with Stock, the only one chance to change DPI without issue is with xposed but we have to wait, hopefully we get it workable. Or we get a fully working CM12.1 or AOSP or any of the both based.
so i hope we have a other way to customize Softkeys and other for the current situation
This flashable theme has a setting to enable 36 dpi navbar at least (you can change this setting independently of the other theme settings via Aroma installer).
if you have root available modify your build.prop and swiftkey will work normally.
Also don't forget to do this
"adb shell wm density reset"
if you have modified your dpi without root with adb before
edit
I'm sorry I must have misread Softkeys with Swiftkey...but anyway, i use 540 dpi and everything works fine
It's in the framework.apk , i'll check it out when i have the time . Easy thing to modify
The build prop lists soft keys color, but it is on hex and I dont know about it. Maybe someone could have a look.

I will add soon the option to change the navbar height to 24, 30, 36 and 42dp (stock) and the navbar icon size even for stock theme. If someone to learn how to do it the navbar size is set by framework-res.apk/res/values/dimens.xml line 21 and 22.

The navbar icons are vectordrawables. Details and codes for the icons here.

On-screen buttons using buid.props results in an empty bar

So I have a Samsung tablet (SM-T800) and I have it rooted running the stock rom. I really want to enable on-screen buttons and disable the hardware buttons (I keep hitting them by accident all the time when I read comic books. I hate them).
So all the instructions I've see have invovled editing the
Code:
build.prop
and adding
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
. When I do that and reboot, I get a black bar at the bottom of the screens in most of my apps with no buttons on it. I assume this is the on-screen nav bar, but for some reason, all the buttons (Home, back, app select) are missing. I know on my phone where I run Cyanogen, you can customize which buttons show up. I was wondering if this was configurable somewhere and if, in Samsung's stock rom, they disable all of them? Or is it something else entirely?
What am I missing?
If you have xposed there is a great app called Ultimate Dynamic Navbar 23.2 that will allow you to have the navbar in portrait or landscape.
To disable the hard keys you need to edit Generic.kl in system/usr/keylayout

xposed says the framework isn't supported on my architecture. Surely this has to just be a setting somewhere in the stock rom?

Wrong framework, you need Arter97 builds and a deodexed rom.

Yea, I don't want to do that. I have the stock rom setup the way I want. I really don't want to wipe it. Surely there must be a way to get the on screen buttons working on the stock rom?

[MODv3] [NMF26V] NavBar Tuner, Additional QS Tile Rows, NavBar DPI - TWRP Flashable

**I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES TO YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK**
**UPDATE v3 2017.01.04**
I've updated the mod to NMF26V. NMF26V increased the size of the NavBar to a ridiculous 48dpi, so I've had to add mod intermediate steps. I've also added 0dpi/0dpi, as some people have requested this. So far, I've tested each version and it has worked, but if you find an issue, let me know and I'll fix it. You can always return to stock.
The mods that can be applied are:
NavBar/StatusBar dpi
0dpi/0dpi
0dpi/20dpi
0dpi/24dpi
32dpi/24dpi
32dpi/20dpi
36dpi/24dpi
36dpi/20dpi
40dpi/24dpi
40dpi/20dpi
44dpi/24dpi
44dpi/20dpi
48dpi/20dpi
SystemUI Mods
NavBarUI Manager + Brightness
NavBarUI Manager + Brightness + 4 QS Tiles
NavBarUI Manager + Brightness + 4 QS Tiles + Battery Mod
Download here Stranula_Full_Flash_v3
**/UPDATE**
**UPDATE**
I've now used Aroma to make a TWRP flashable zip making this much easier to install.
Now in order to install, simply download the Stranula.Full.Flash.v2.zip reboot to TWRP recovery, install the zip, and select which mods you want. You can only select one SystemUIGoogle.apk and one framework-res.apk to install. I've also now included the stock apks, so you can easily revert back.
Download Stranula.Full.Flash.v2.zip
**/Update**
Coming from Galaxy devices, I got used to the "Back" button on the right and the "Recents" button on the left of the device, and have been trying to figure out a way to do this on the Pixel.
After looking at [MOD] - WETA UI Mods - [3MinitBattery][NavTuner][centerclock][navbarheight], I knew this had the answer, but I couldn't get it to work on NMF26Q, so after a bit of googling, I found this [MOD][GUIDE] Enable Navbar Tuner for Nougat [7.0] which gave me what I needed to make the mod myself. Finally, thanks to help from fritzgerald I also now know how to add the full battery % in the status bar instead of the battery icon (more details here [GUIDE] Add Battery % to Statusbar ! [Updated Stock 2.3+, CM9/10/10.1 etc -28.9.14])
I made 3 versions, and unless someone suggests a change that I would personally use, I do not intend to make any other changes, or respond to requests.
SystemUIGoogle-NavBar+Brightness.apk has the modifcation to add NavBar Tuner to the SystemUI Tuner as well as the option to remove the brightness slider from the dropdown.
SystemUIGoogle-NavBar+Brightness+4Tile.apk has the same, but additionally, when the full QS is pulled down, it will display 4 columns instead of 3.
SystemUIGoogle-NavBar+Brightness+4Tile+BatteryMod.apk has the same, but additionally has the battery % in the statusbar.

I've gone ahead and made a 0dpi, 32dpi, 36dpi, and 40dpi version. The 0dpi will leave you with no NavBar, so make sure you already have another option installed.
If this helps you, please say thanks!

That's great. Which apk, and what code, do you edit for the battery mod?
**UPDATE**
After comparing our files, I figured out how you did it, then subsequently found where you got the mod from. I'm glad to finally have the battery mod.

It's an old mod, I just pulled it in to this framework. Haven't really modded since my SGS2 but figured I'd start it up again. Feel free to shoot a PM if you ever get stuck and want a second set of eyes.
I've updated this mod with a TWRP flashable zip file containing all of the mods in one. I don't have any testers, so I've only tested it myself, and so far everything is working.
If you happen to use these mods, and the installer, please let me know if everything works, or if you experience any problems.

just installed and working great! i got so used to the back button being on the other side, took some time to get used to it on the new phone, but now I realize I'm going to have to re-learn the buttons again since i'm finally used to them!
Thank you for this! Now if someone can just get a slide finger over status bar for brightness and volume keys for change track going i'll be all set!!!

Great, thanks for letting me know. I also want the brightness adjuster, I will start looking into that now.
I'll also look for the volume key thing, but uncertain if I'll find that one.

I'm really only proficient enough to implement changes other people have done the work to figure out. I was a bit more involved a couple of years ago, and this is my first jump into modding Nougat, so I'm still trying to refamiliarize myself. That being said, if you can point me to guides for Mods of interest, I can try to implement them.
Will this also work on NMF26O?

I haven't tried. My #1 recommendation is to update then install. However, if that was what you wanted to do, you wouldn't have asked.
So, my #2 recommendation is to go into TWRP, mount system, open file manager, rename /system/system/framework/framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bkk and /system/system/priv-app/SystemUIGoogle/SystemUIGoogle.apk to SystemUIGoogle.apk.bkk.
Now you've backed up your original files. Install my mods and reboot. If they work, awesome, let us know. If they do not, boot back into TWRP and restore your original files, then come back here and let us know.

I don't know what you mean.
If you don't want the navbar tweak, don't install the framework-res.apk.
The framework-res has the navbar dpi edits. The systemuigoogle has the other edits.

Increased status bar icon spacing after PIE update

After upgrading MI A2 Lite to android P i noticed that space betwen notification icons in status bar (to the left of notch) was increased.
As a result, the number of icons that can be displayed without the appearance of the point (that mean further incons hidden) was reduced from 3 to 2. thus, when i have 3 or more notifications, only one icon is displayed plus the point. that is very ugly for me.
I want to know if there are a way to edit that "value" changed. I was exploring the "systemui tuner" app, but there isnt an option for this setting.
Anyone have some idea? My device is not rooted but im considering to do it very soon.
Im attaching an image to compare.
Thank you!

You are right. That, adding to those annoying arrows icons besides network, make status bar useless.
Mi a2 lite Status bar bugs
In addition, Android p experience is great so far on Mi A2 lite but there's still an issue with status bar.. Previously on oreo,The height of the notch and the status bar were equal but after pie update the status bar height overpasses the notch leaving a black space (of like 2 to 3 mm) in between the notch and the quick settings panel This is clear once you pull down the quick settings panel as shown in the attachment below??,, is this a bug or? Or is there a way to adjust that space without root
This is the most annoying thing I've found in Android P. You can't almost see any notification. Does anyone know if this is editable somehow?

You can in the developer options -> "smallest width" the DPI screw.
I have it e.g. set to 512. Now, next to the clock, there are 4 more icons to match.
If the desktop is too small, most launcher users can set custom icon and font sizes.

Simple Way To Get System UI Tuner On Android P Preview (Without Installing Nova Launcher Or Using ADB Commands)
1. Download QuickShortCutMaker
2. In the search bar (in the app) type in "Demo Mode"
3. Click on the "System UI" option
4. Click on the "System UI demo mode" option that appears after clicking on "System UI"
5. Click the "Try" button
There you go, you can now access the system UI tuner again, without having to install nova launcher
http://www.kepfeltoltes.eu/view.php?filename=469notch.jpg
5. A2Lite Settings, display, special, displayed size, minimum value
Best way to handle this
Hey guys i had the update yesterday and always had a tiny white dot popping up instead 4G symbol and the vibration mode symbol...extremely annoying as i first thought i have some hidden notifications!!
Forget about Nova Launcher or any **** just download and install UI Tuner Launcher from the PlayStore. Actually it is a shortcut to the system UI. Open it, go the status bar, battery - battery percentage only when loading (my system is in german so i don't know the exact words for this option). That's for now the best option! The problem are these silly down and upload arrows beneath the connection symbol! I found no option to remove them! If you pull down the status bar battery percentage is still shown at the top so you can always check if you want an accurate battery status!
Another option is maybe to set the font size to minimal as the battery percentage in standard font size is extremely huge
Let's hope for another update on this issue!
PS: ho to upload pictures here?
thanks for the tip "UI Tuner Launcher" but it doesn't solve the initial issue of this topic...
I have the same issue,, if someone know how to fix it please tell us
sorry
ah yeah sorry!
than actually change screen settings (font, depth etc...) to minimal or in the dev.opt. as described above! 512 dpi! theres nothing else in the moment!
i think there is a way... the space could be modified by editing the value in "status_bar_icon_padding" of the file SystemUI/res/values/dimens.xml
But for it is required to decompile SystemUI.apk > edit > recomplile and inject it to the system partition. my device is not rooted yet, but i will do it and test this soon.
I found a little solution for our problem, but only into rooting phone: download the apk file https://apkpure.com/disable-network-activity-indicator-rro-8-0-only/com.keypressure.disable_network_activity_indicator, rename the file in "com.keypressure.disable_network_activity_indicator.apk" ,put in system/app, edit the autorizzation in rw-r--r-- and reboot the phone.
After the boot the arrow keys they should missing. The apk is a little app "Disable Network Activity Indicator RRO (8.0 Only)" that you can find in the play store, only that are impossible installing to Pie because is working only for Oreo.
With to the system wich I described, it working also in Pie.

Removing navbar on Q

I'm looking to remove my navbar on Android Q in favor of Edge Gestures which I've used since getting my Pixel. After the Q update, I've tried the old build.prop editor qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1 method but it's not letting me save the revision made despite granting Build.prop editor root access. Was wondering if anyone can shed some light on the process either via adb, a Magisk module, or any other method. TIA
