[Q] Change location of Navigation Bar (Softbuttons) in Landscape mode?

I just bought the Nexus 7 2013, and coming from the original Galaxy Tab (2010) the absence of hardware buttons drives me crazy because of the Navigation Bar (I hope this is the right term for it) which I dont like.
Reasons:
- I press the buttons accidentally when using the keyboard
- It is a waste of vertical screen space when in landscape mode
So is there any way to put the navbar to the right in landscape mode (like on most phones)? Like some magic build.prop hack?
I am currently on cm11 official nightlies, but changing roms or patching the source myself if necessary is an option too.
Any hints?

Its not an ideal solution, bit you can use phab7 -

Chose phone ui, and it will put them on the right in landscape. I say its not ideal because it spread's the buttons out and causes the Google now ring to be off center. Unfortunately it doesn't support tablet ui (apparently google took it out in 4.4+), but phone ui, and split menus work on KitKat.
I personality use pie controls from gravity box, and force immersive on any apps I want fullscreen with Xutilites -

So all my games/chrome/play magazines/etc. automatically go immersive, I hated having to switch it on and off all the time, so this worked for me. I also use gravity box to make the nav bar smaller, so when it is there it takes up less room. The nav bar will still pop up with the keyboard if you go this rout tho. You could disable it completely with gravity box, but you would have to really like pie controls for that lol. Gravity box -

These are all Xposed framework mods BTW, I am assuming you'd be comfortable with this since your running a custom ROM. I hate the lost pixels as well. Best of luck reclaiming the rest your screen

Thanks for the detailed reply :good:
I am very satisfied with the results with phab7.
Adding a 4th icon to the navigation bar was necessary to have them look centered again.
I am completely gapps free - so the google now problem does not apply to me

Google bottom search bar changing height stock q rom

I noticed on all last Q stock builds that when i switch navigation mode from 3 buttons to native Q gestures opening any app Google bottom search bar changes height automatically.
This bug is only noticeable using Q gestures, all works as intended using 3 buttons or P pill navigation.
My Daisy is completely stock, don' t care unlocked bootloader, custom recovery or root at the moment.
Is it somehow fixable ?

Question Permanent Navigation Buttons?

Hello folks, I haven't made the jump to custom rom yet, still on stock miui, I don't mind it tbh.. but this is my first phone without physical navigation buttons (back, home , recents etc), is there anyway to make them permanent, i use a lot of apps where the whole screen is active, can be hard to being them up sometimes without interfering with the running app...
Thanks!

I've been a button user for years too, but damn if these gestures aren't so damn convenient. You can enable it from Settings ( search for Gestures ). You gonna try it for days if not hours, the revert back to gestures xD

miui was good when they allow other launcher (non miui or poco) tu use full gesture navigation, how ever after updating A11 miui 12.5 It's gone...you only can use gesture nav on poco/miui launcher only & that's suck...
since i do really hate both miui & poco launcher..i had to use again button navigation...(i use nova launcher)

I'd found the full screen display options before, I guess Im only really concerned about Microsoft Remote Desktop but I can't make the buttons permanent, they have that "toaster" function

for me i choose gesture navigation over permanent button, coz the phone look great when in full screen mode, despite the launcher...
F3 look great if we can use gesture nav & hide those status bar (poco launcher can't do this, only external launcher apps).. but that's all just a dream,since there's now way for stock non rooted poco f3 can bypass gesture nav for external launcher (don't know if custom romm do that...since my F3 not rooted yet

Question Possibility to obtain the lower gesture of op7?

As the title said... I use a lot lmt launcher and i orefer to use it as border Action (left and right).
In op7 i had lower gesture that are very very usefull. In op9pro there aren't this type of gesture and the only way to use the gesture is with the "workaround" on xxx_nolimts that disable the lateral "back". But... Xxx_nolimts still not be supported and i think that when op start with android 12 rollout will not work anymore.
Any ideas to obtain the old lower gestures?

Hi,
Unfortunately you can't.

Have you tried Substratum Lite, No_Nav.apk and Fluid Gestures Navigation ?
That's what I use to have swipes for back at the bottom. Left and right side: swipe for back.
Middle bottom: swipe for home.
And swipe for next or previous app at the right of the screen, with 2 zones.

custom roms allow nav off to allow for overlay gestures

Thanks... Is what i need! I will try

Question gestures and other questions?

recently got a oneplus 11 and im kinda liking it def enjoy it more then the S23+ but wheres the old Gesture system with swiping from the bottom? is it only for Color OS or something? if not is there any way tip i can get to getting used to google gestures? its kinda annoying remembering where i can swipe so i can pull a menu or something on a app without accidentally backing out of a app

What gesture are you talking about? Everything is swipe from bottom to top right???

OxygenOS used to have unique navigation gestures that could trigger back and home by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Samsung also has these. Once Google rolled out their own gestures, OnePlus migrated to them. On OxygenOS 11 and below, one could use SetEdit to restore this feature but I've seen no way to do it on OxygenOS 13. Does anyone know if they're available through a hidden setting?
