Swipe navigation bar to go back?

I want to only have a home button on my navigation bar and I was wondering if there was an app where if you swipe from left to right on the navigation bar it could act as a back button? I think it would be cool because it can replace that button and make it feel like you are actually swiping back.

Great idea, hopefully other people think so and it catches someone's eye that can make it happen. I don't know of anything like that unfortunately.

Check LMT launcher. Let's you assign almost anything as a gesture and what the gesture will do. Can also have no Nav bar and with lmt, have a pie appear with standard Nav bar commands.
I couldn't locate through the market but came across it and use the set up from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558
Its a cool setup and the link to LMT are in the op

Here is just the LMT Launcher link
In the app you can set the field of where to check for gestures on screen. You could play with it and have it run along bottom of screen over your one button Nav bar I guess. Here it is:

I'll check it out. Seems very in-depth and I don't see any single left to right swipe gestures....just double. But yea hopefully someone does see it and does something with the idea. I remember there was the swipe the nav bar and screen turns on or off or whatever so shouldn't be too hard to make it go back instead....says the non app maker.

There's a thread in this forum with soft key mods and one of the icon sets is for the iPhone home button. In that icon pack the back and recents are just black icons. You could save those icons over the current ones in System.apk and you would only have a home button but back/recent still functional. I know that's not what you originally asked for but just a suggestion.

I remember that this was asked for in the beginning of time (for the nexus), but no one was up for the challenge. I think it would be easier to do now tho when the nav bar already has the swipe up gesture.

It would be awesome if anyone is capable of making this.
Great idea! :good:

You can use a gesture app to do this. Check out "GMD GestureControl Lite ★ root" http://bit.ly/zeCp0K
With this app you can set it up to use the single left to right swipe and only be activated on that part in the screen of choose. I use this app for all the main control since I have no soft keys.

Yea that is what I'm doing now. Just replaced the icons with the black section of images.
Works for now but still think the left to right swipe gesture would be cool.

HTC Browser hides navbar, but white space is shown instead

Hello, don't know if it's a new feature from the recent update or not, however I never noticed that before.
HTC Browser after a while hides the navbar.
That would be great, but it's useless for me since the page is not resized, i attached two pictures to let you see that.
Is that normal? I'm using InsertCoin ROM with ART and it may be a ROM issue, but I don't know.

Maybe worth using GMD hide softkeys from the market place. I use it and its brilliant!

This doesn't solve the issue, I'd prefer keeping the navbar than hiding it if the extra space is white.

No it hides the navbar and gives you the extra screen space. Very awesome app. I used it on my previous phones.

I just tried the free one and it gives you an alternative bar with different icons. It doesn't hide the stock one (i can do that from build.prop file, but since the only issue is with the browser I don't want to use another whole bar)

That's what I'd like.
Can I ask which Rom do you use? And do you use art?

Immersive Mode (99cents on Google Play) hides nav bar without needing root.

Same issue here, I'm using Renovate 4.4.3 on ART as well! I'm using chrome beta now, it just keeps the navbar without going immersive.

Double tab for screen off not working in Nova Launcher

Is there a way to shut screen off with out the power button.

double tap on the statusbar to put it to sleep in Nova launcher. Its an extra step to unhide the statusbar if u have it set to auto hide in nova..but its easier than finding the power button.

Install Screen Off and Lock from the Play Store, assign double tap in Nova (Prime) to use that app et presto :good:

Set the gesture to a shortcut, choose Nova activities, scroll down System UI, then choose one of the two actives for recent apps. One is the old KK recents, and one is for Lollipop recents. Not sure which is which. I think the top option might be Lollipop.

There's two.

G4 Looks like this.

That SHOULD be it. If it's not working, then it's not working, though.
I'd trouble shoot by trying that gesture on Action Launcher. It had a native "open recents" gesture that worked with the G3 without having to do this workaround that we used in Nova. If it still works in AL3, I'd message the Nova dev and point out that accessing recents on Nova with the G4 is broken. I should hopefully have a G4 this afternoon (going on my lunch). If you don't have a paid copy of AL3 to test yourself, I will if I can.

News:
Now Nova (prime of course) offers the knock off feature without any other app needed.
Look on gestures!

[Galaxy Note 20] H ow to hide the Status bar

Does anyone know how to hide the Status bar and display everything under the camera hole like this.
As on S8/S9, Note8/Note9 just needs to use the command: settings put global policy_control immersive.status=* is done
But for models with this android camera hole when using the above command, the screen containing the hole camera will be a black strip.

You can use System UI Tuner on the play store to get rid of the status and navigation bars on whichever apps you want. Just need to do a couple of adb commands to make it work.

Enabling full screen app support for the particular app in settings>display has gotten rid of the black bars for me

You can use Nova Launcher to hide Statusbar.

Use Fine lock, Install Quick star module

in quick star model is no choice to hide statusbar

Do you know the Nova Launcher? Search in Google Playstore. With Nova Launcher you can also hide Statusbar via Gesture.

Good Lock. QUICKSTAR still works.
Hide clock first then turn off every icon like wifi and data.

Samsung's GoodLock NavStar module will show/hide the status bar.

This is what I did and it works.
1. System tuner ui to hide status bar.
2. Enable full screen app support in settings>display
3. I want to give credit to whoever figured this out, but don't remember. Get goodlock and install multi-star. Scroll all the way to the bottom of multi-star and select (the app size stretch to camera hole). Set the app to overlap the camera area.
That's it. No more status bar and it will look like the target picture. All apps.

It didn't work for me. It pushed everything up and cut the top off.

Question Avoiding burn-in on status bar?

Is there any way to hide the status bar icons? Specially the clock and battery indicator so we can avoid burn ins? Had burn-in issue on my mi 9t pro so Im not gonna take any chances...
I was easily able to hide the icons on my rog phone 2 but it seems that miui is blocking that method(having all these features, it's such a shame it still doesnt have the ability to hide status bar icons!)
Does anyone have any other way to do this?

SystemUI Tuner! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner

The clock, yes I think so. But I don't know about Battery, I'm not able to check it right now

Maybe not the answer you want to hear
I use HavocOS - there you can hide all status bar icons. I do it so, but only because I don't want to disturb my home screen with these icons
For the battery status I use a thin line on the top of the screen (it's a feature of Havoc), which changes the length and the color depending on the battery level... you can choose color #1 (fully charged) and color #2 (empty). I picked 2 colors (black for #1 and gray for #2), so that this line only appears when the battery is at about 30 %. Really nice

Don't bother, you re gonna swith to another phone anyway before it gets burn in. Or you can always replace the screen under warranty since burn in is coverer by xiaomi.
