Question Can you disable the Recents button on the navigation bar? - Samsung Galaxy S22

On my Galaxy S22 phone (running Android 13), when I tap the Recents button on the navigation bar, it shows "# active in background" at the top of the screen if I have # apps active in the background (assuming # > 0). If I then click on "# active in background", a window will pop up labeled "Check background activity", and I am able to force stop any of my apps that are running in the background from that screen. I use an "app blocker" app called AppLock Fingerprint (from the Google Play store, developer SpSoft), and I can easily force stop AppLock Fingerprint by doing this, which defeats the purpose of having it. Is there any way to disable the "# active in background" button, the "Check background activity" window, or the Recents button on the navigation bar itself?

Tasker: Activate samsung multi window side bar

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 )

Battery percentage in status bar

Hi , I would like to ask if it is possible to do display the battery percentage in the status bar?
Thanks in advance
Hi, i used this metod:
"Here's how to get the battery percentage to display on stock Android:
Enable System UI Tuner. To do this, swipe down the Quick Settings panel and you'll see the settings gear icon at the top of the display. Press and hold this for a few seconds.
After a few seconds, the System UI Tuner will be enabled and will appear at the bottom of the settings menu. Once it's enabled, a spanner icon appears next to your settings shortcut icon and you'll get an onscreen notification.
Open the System UI Tuner menu and tap "status bar". Towards the bottom you'll see the option called "battery" with a number of choice. Select "always show percentage".

[APP] Quick Settings [Enable Immersive Mode]

I am in no way the owner or the developer of this app but if you have a Note 10 or Note 10+ by now you should have noticed that Immersive Mode is missing.
By using this app you can add the Immersive Mode Toggle to your Quick Menu with just one adb command, with no root.
Once enabled when selecting the Immersive Mode Toggle you will be given 4 choices, no status bar, no navigation bar, no status and navigation bar or normal operation.
If you select no navigation bar, you just swipe up from the bottom to temporarily get them back.

Systemui tuner is another great app

if you re rooted on android 10/11 you could try "app settings reborn" xposed module : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mod-xposed-app-settings-reborn.4141339/
it seems to work for all my apps except for an issue with yandex browser ...

GUIDE on How to Get Android 10 Recents Screen and QuickStep Gestures [ROOT]

This will replace One UIs Recent Screen with the stock version used in the Pixel Launcher. Or any other supported launcher, for a more fluid Android 10 experience.
HOW THIS WORKS
Samsung has modify SystemUI and Framework to change the appearance of the UI, such as the Recents Screen. We will use QuickSwitch which is a Magisk module that uses 'overlays' which you can find in /system/vendor/overlay to safely override the modified UI with one from a supported launcher. You can then revert back at any time from within the app.
Requirements:
- ROM that has been rooted
- Android 10 (recommended)
INSTRUCTIONS
Get Lawnchair (latest version)
Install Lawnchair and open 'Just once' -- Don't set to Always just yet!
Download Magisk module => QuickSwitch (Android Pie+)
Reboot
Launch QuickSwitch and Select Lawnchair from 'Available providers'
Reboot
Launch QuickSwitch. This time you should see Lawnchair in the 'Current recents provider' section.
Go to menu > 'Change default home' and select Lawnchair
Now press the Recents button in the navigation bar and you should see the new changes.
NOTE: If you see notifications that Lawnchair crashed.. Submit bug report. Go to the Lawnchair "App info" screen > Notifications and deselect 'Bug report'
ENABLE GESTURE NAVIGATION (EXPERIMENTAL)
What works:
- Back gesture
- Middle gesture to show Recents screen from the home screen
What doesn't work:
- When in an app using the middle gesture shows "Lawnchair keeps stopping".
Install Termux from Google Play or F-droid
Launch Termux and type: su
Then type: cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
For a list of all navigation styles, type: cmd overlay list | grep android.internal.systemui
FAQ
What is wrong with the recents UI in Samsung's One UI?
The recents screen is part of One UI Home, which uses Finder, Customization Service, Bixby which are spyware that likely connect to Samsung servers and tracks app usage and has access to your clipboard/storage. So you couldn't disable or remove One UI Home, otherwise the the recents screen would not be accessible.
ISSUES (NEED TESTERS)
Samsung gesture navigation will stop working as a result, due to the navigation bar being modified to work only with One UI.

S20 Ultra help - status bar hiding

I'm at my wits end.
No idea what I've done. My status/notification bar automatically hides itself. Usually it's hidden on home screen only which is how I like it. Now, it hides everywhere and I have fullscreen gestures on so I swipe to go back, recents etc.
Android version 10
One UI version 2.1
Running Nova Launcher.
Nova settings: Look and Feel>Show notification bar On, Look and feel>transparent notification bar Off, transparent navigation bar On
Android settings:display>fullscreen apps>everything is set to auto, display>easy mode off,
Notifications>status bar>show notifications > 3 most recent. Each option behaves the same
Notifications>do not disturb Off
I think that's all the relevant settings.
How I'm used to it: status bar hides on home screen, open to app drawer or any app and it's displayed whilst in said app.
Cheers.
Just uninstalled Nova. Behaviour is still the same.
Have restored from backup now
