Is there anyway to enable the nav bar on the amazon fire phone ?
When I still used the LG E980 (G Pro) with Cyanogenmod 12. I can easily add a line of command on the build.pro file and then there will be the soft-nav-button. Is this available for amazon fire phone ?
Can anyone help, please? If yes, this would be awesome
I have just been using the no root version of Back Button by ogapps. Which makes a floating or pop up navigation bar using the built in accessibility options. Back Button is the only one I found so far that doesn't trigger the TTS bug where it starts reading all the text on the screen.
Go Launcher has a Back and Menu button integrated into the launcher. The only problem is that the menu bar covers the home button, but you can use the physical button.
what I mean is the actual nav bar like the nexus 5

Thank you for this now at least I can enjoy using this phone
I'm just playing around with the multi window feature of my samsung stock rom.
I managed to open to apps side with tasker:
In short: tasker + "AutoShorkut" addin opens a "MW Shortcuts" shortcut.
This works just good and stable with one drawback: Apps seems to be closed before they are started in the side by side view.
For me, that was not enough.
Opening manually with the side bar wont close apps.
So I thought I want to automate the sidebar actions. I already can simulate touchscreen taps with the shell command "input tap x1 x2". I tried to use "input swipe ..." to bring the sidebar to the front but no luck... Is there any other chance to bring the side bar to the front out from a tasker script? I'm also wasn't able to simulate a long back button press. This seems to be the alternative to show the side bar beside a screen swipe.
I've found a solution:
1. Wait 500ms
2. Run Shell -> "input swipe 2559 700 700 700 500" -> timeout = 4 seconds -> use root = true
Afterwards I am selecting the app I wanna open with "input tap ...". The icon position of the app has to be constant, of course
So for here, I managed to automate samsung's split multi window feature. Hope it helps for you. (press thanks )
Hey guys,
I've seen that the navigation buttons for Android P are different. After the update I had the new navigation buttons but after putting the PIN and lock screen my navigation buttons came back to Android O.
Anyone knows if there's any option where I can change it? I've looked everywhere and couldn't find.
Picture is attached
Thanks for your help
I just installed the Android P Beta and ran into the same issue. But I was able to get the new gesture based nav bar permanently by doing the following:
Navigate to Settings > System > Gestures
Then scroll down to "Swipe up on home button" and it permanently enables the new nav bar.

Now we just need a way to move the back button to the right side. Anyone tried the trick that worked on O?

I'm hoping someone knows how to make a mod that will go back if you swipe it to the left.

Well i had that enabled on dp1.. and works fine on dp2,
adb shell
settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space"
If you hide the gesture bar, it disables the ability to swipe between apps. But with a single ADB command to hide the bar and STILL be able to swipe between apps:
./adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-39
To revert the change, use
./adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
What this does is pushes the bar down off the screen, effectively permanently hiding it (until you revert it)—but the functionality of the bar remains intact as if it were still there.
*Note: this has the effect of "pulling" the UI elements down by the same amount which would normally appear on the bottom of the screen, e.g. the hide keyboard button, switch keyboard button, lockscreen shortcuts, etc. They are all still visible and functional, just shifted down by 39 pixels.
You're welcome!!
For total newbs, here's a quick rundown of how to set up ADB for your device. Trust me it's much simpler than it looks:
PART ONE—Getting ADB on your computer
1. Download the Platform Tools from Google.
2. Unzip it.
3. Start a command prompt or terminal from the new platform-tools folder that step 2 created.
- On Windows, this means opening the platform-tools folder and then holding shift and right clicking and opening a powershell (or command prompt or whatever option you get)
- On Mac, this means open the terminal (cmd+space > terminal), type cd and then drag the platform tools folder onto the terminal and then press enter (basically, cd changes the directory of the terminal, and dragging the platform-tools folder tells it that's where you cd'ing to), then press enter. (cd > drag folder > press enter)
4. That's it. You're now able to do ./adb and ./fastboot commands. If any posts online tell you to type adb, use a ./ in front of the adb. Same with fastboot. There's a separate process to avoid having to type the ./ but it's frankly more work than it's worth IMO.
PART 2—Making your phone allow ADB
1. Go to settings > about phone > software information
2. Tap "Build number" 7 times
3. Go back one page, at the top search "usb debugging" and enable the option
4. Plug your device into your computer and go past your lockscreen
5. In the terminal in platform-tools, type
./adb devices
6. This will trigger a popup on your phone asking you to allow. Accept this popup.
7. Now you can run ./adb commands for your specific device.
Hmm, I don't have the gesture bar at all (it's one of the first things i disabled) and i didn't need adb to do it. Are you using the Android 10 gestures or Samsung?
I don't know also if you mean the gesture bar from Samsung that takes a little line of space in every app. But it is still possible to switch between apps, I wrote this to another guy with that kind of problem:
"It's still possible to swipe between apps but it's more difficult because you don't have the line for orientation. You have to slide up very gently and then left or right."
Sure with the bar it is really flawless, but still possible without. Just needs to be pushed little bit up and then swiping apps is possible.

Sorry I should have been more clear. With this command, you can still swipe left and right to switch between apps. The toggle in settings forces you to do a new arching swipe gesture that's pretty bad IMO (and I assume in everyone's opinion, which is why it's not the way iOS does it or any of the Android 10 phones that are copying the iOS gesture).
Hi, tried this but after executing the command the nav bar move but immediately back to its original position.
I use edge gestures app, I find it very useful, you can asign a variety of gesture actions at left, right and bottom, has the switch apps option, it also provides a "pie" control at every edge, give it a try

Display. Navigation bar, full screen gestures + gesture hints. Then swipe on the bottom to move between apps.
This app does the best job for gestures on a samsung device

Don't have the gesture bar, and swiping between apps works just fine...
I don't understand this, my gesture swipe works perfectly fine just hiding navigation bar.

You can also use good luck and 100 operation plus use the hide navigation bar while you're in gestures and you'll have a complete full screen no gesture bar but be able to use all gestures
Hi, is there a way to add the 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen for the back, home and recent apps that I used to have on me s21+ I'm now using pixel 7 pro and no back button is killing me haha, I will attach a photo of the buttons I mean, thanks Ian
On Android 13 there is a setting to bring back 3 button navigation.

Would love this if you know where I can find it, thanka
Found it, thank you very much
Short guide:
Tap the Settings icon to launch the Settings app. Scroll down and tap on Accessibility.
Scroll down to the Interaction Controls section and tap System controls.
Tap System navigation.
Tap 3-button navigation or Gesture navigation.
Tap the Settings button next to Gesture navigation to change the sensitivity of the screen to the Back swipe gesture. Use the Left edge and Right edge sliders to tune it
Might there also be a setting (maybe within Nova?) to switch the return and app buttons? On my galaxy they were the other way around and it's quite annoying on my pixel 7 pro :')
