questions about Dirty Unicorns rom - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

hi, if someone is using DU (pixel 3 in particular) can confirm if it is possible to center clock and show date in status bar?
and is it possible to someway assign actions like "show volume panel", "show power menu", "expand notification panels", "kill foreground app" with long press back button etc etc to navbar gestures?
or if not, is possible to show old navbar style instead of using new gestures and assign such actions to virtual navbar buttons?
tia!

Center clock? Wouldn't the notch hide it? edit: NVM realised it's for Pixel 3. Yes you can center it as far as I know. And yes, you can use Smartbar (legacy navbar kind of)

thanks for the answers, nice!
yeah I am considering to buy the small pixel 3, the 3 XL with its hideous notch is not an option at all for me and btw I prefer small phones :angel:

[Q] How to hide the status/notification bar?

Hello!
Is there a way to toggle on and off the top status bar? Either an app or a hack or anything like that?
anyone? pretty please?
You can do this with certain home launchers, I know its a feature in NOVA.
Like the guy above me said, it all depends on what launcher you are using. With ADW Launcher I know there is a setting that lets you do it.

What about the soft keys?

Soft keys can't be hidden with a launcher (that I'm aware of), and require a custom ROM. A number of the custom ROMs allow you to add a toggle for the soft keys to the power menu for easy access - such as AOKP.

Yup, AOKP is excellent in that you can toggle the nav bar/soft keys from your power menu. When you combine it with an app like LMT that allows gesture control (or the even better pie control) the whole navigation experience is next level.
Thanks for the launcher suggestion but that will only hide the status bar when you're on your home screens, it reappears when you're in an app.
What I want is to be able to hide the notification bar when I'm in an app like Docs to Go or Kingsoft Office, maximising my horizontal space.
Use nova launcher for top.
Flash aokp for bottom. I do both everyday.
Yup, Nova will do it on your homescreen and dock, but is there anything that can do it within an app?
You may try use ApexLauncher,It had a very powerful function.

Here's how I have my phone set up.
I set the navbar height to zero and enabled pie controls. By default, the navbar keys are pre-installed in pie, and you can reorder them however you want.
Then you can set up to 10 targets on it, with the option to long press (you set the duration ~ I have five targets plus long press on 3 of them).
Getting rid of navbar gives you more screen real estate. More screen is good. Plus it gets rid of that pesky line.
I also set my dock to auto hide after two seconds. I know that it's on the bottom. I swipe up and it appears. I don't need to see it on every homescreen. Hey! More real estate!
Thank you but I really dont like swiping around whole screen to see keys.
I did that with some xposed module, I think it was gravitybox. I've changed the order of the buttons.

Okay, it was just a suggestion.

Coming from Nexus 5, have some questions on OP3

I use Gravitybox on my Nexus so I'd like to do the same on the OP3.
It looks like the OP3 has physical nav buttons, which is to say, I can't add to that with anything.
Is there an IME switcher that shows up anywhere when typing for easily switching between keyboards? What about adding arrows for cursor navigation. I use Swiftkey for my keyboard, so unless I enable the keyboard row, there's no way to move the cursor with it. On the Nexus, I used the function in Gravity box to add cursor keys to the nav bar, but OP3 having physical buttons seems like it would put a stop to that too.
If I keep it stock and used systemless root/xposed/etc via Magisk, would it pass safetynet checks as it does on the Nexus when I turn them off?
Are there any other caveats I'd need to look out for?
(And in the interest of fairness, what would likely be the best improvements I notice too?)
You can enable navigation bar on the oneplus 3, even if there is physicals buttons.
The IME switcher will show up in the navbar if you enable it, or in the notification if you don't.
I don't know about root and safetynet

Enable by way of default options or if I'm using Gravitybox specifically?

There is an option on the settings of the stock rom:good:
Welp, the physical size is bigger than I was hoping, but I can't find a better option on all the other specs.
This is most likely the only viable phone then and will be what I end up getting.
We shall see.
If needed you can use LMT to display the "pie" and customize actions.

That looks like it may do what I want.
I'm not quite familiar with it, can you make it so if I call it up, it persists until I dismiss it?
Thinking along the lines of bringing up a menu with "[<] [Dismiss] [>]" to let me do multiple arrow presses.
If that's doable, then that would fully take care of what I'm looking for.

System UI hidden settings missing Nav Bar options

I noticed with the new January update that when I unlock my hidden system ui settings that it does not have an option to rearrange the nav bar buttons? Does anyone know why or another way to rearrange these buttons?
You were on a custom ROM/using a mod pack before. There is a mod pack in the themes section! Also weta rom will be updated tomorrow as said by the dev!

Did you hit the "pencil" button? That allows me to rearrange icons.

That option is not available normally. It requires SystemUI.apk to be modified to add the option back.

Any working overlays to reduce navbar height?

As title. The overlays that previously worked on my note 9 no longer install.
not advertisement but you can use my app custom navbar and then enable gesture navigation on the note 10 this will make the bar extremely thin while still retaining tap buttons as well as gestures seamlessly, see the attached picture you see how close i am able to push the home button to the edge almost like the chin disappears entirely
not advertisement but if you download my app and enable samsung gesture navigation you get an extremely thin navbar with both gesture and tap seamlessly
edit:for some reason it became a doublepost
Thanks, what is the name of the app? I want to try it
