The way we used to set navigation bar's height to 0 DOES NOT work anymore!!!
Here I want to share a way that I use to remove the annoying nav bar WITHOUT ROOT.
If you are interested, you can try it. I currently have a SAMSUNG NOTE 8 UNLOCKED running Android 8.0
I discovered this method based on luisshnyder's method (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/remove-oreo-navbar-completely-t3772217), but I did more to resolve some problems he didn't mention.

===========================================================================================================
After using my method, what's working:
1. A full screen with no navigation bar in any circumstance even in landscape mode or input method pops up.
2. Hard press working all the time, including when the phone is locked, screen off or unlocked status.
3. Screen capture working and also scrolling screen capture working (many users want this!)
4. You can swipe or other gestures to perform go back, home, recent app or many other functions.
What's not working:
The lock screen shortcuts cannot be displayed correctly under WQHD resolution.
Overall, you need the following software
1) Android 8.0 Oreo installed
2) All in one gesture (Free, in PlayStore)
3) FloatingMenu 6.1.9 (Free, but Pro Version works much better, don't use PlayStore version, use the apk attached)
4) All necessary software needed to run adb commands. You may need to learn how to install and use adb command line.
Now let's start:
0. Go back to your phone's default settings if you tried any other methods before (ignore this if you didn't).
1. Go to Seetings -> Display -> Navigation bar, UNcheck "Show and hide button".
2. Install All in one gesture.
2.1. Configure this app's settings in the way you like. I use 12 Hotspots Straight Swipe and make Bottom, Left, Center to be Recent, Home and Back.
2.2. Go to Personalization -> Edge Preference, Leave Opacity as it is, we'll deal with it later. set other scrollbars the way you like, I use the following value: Edge Sensitivity 50px, Edge Width 100%.
3.3. Go back to Personalization, make sure Auto Rotation is checked, while Behind Keyboard is UNchecked. For me, to make it better, I also Unchecked Toast Message and checked Animation.
3. Install FloatingMenu 6.1.9, DO NOT use PlayStore version, use the apk attached.
3.1. Configure your bottom bar the way you like, but make sure the Height is more than 200. You may need to buy the Pro version to use all three bottom bars.
3.2. Go to Settings, make sure you UNcheck "Reposition when IME appears", and set "Auto hide when landscape" to "Hide all".
3.3. Go to Advanced settings, make sure you UNcheck "Max window level", and check "Cover softKeyboard".
4. Plug-in your phone to a computer with adb environment, make sure USB debugging is ON. (Learn more about adb if you don't know this before operating)
5. In the command line, run: adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.samsung.android.app.smartcapture
6. In the command line, run: adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-168
7. Fully test your phone, then make the bottom bar transparent to make it more beautiful.
8. For users who use WQHD resolution only: Go to Settings -> Lock screen and Security -> App shortcuts, then turn off both shortcuts.
9. Sometimes you need to reboot your devices.
=========================================================================================
If you want to undo the effect you made by the above two adb commands, here are the two "Recover Commands":
adb shell settings put global policy_control null
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
=========================================================================================

Hi Frank,
Did you find any fix or workaround for edge lighting at the bottom?
ok, it works (finally we have a solution also on oreo), the only problem i have is when i use the keyboard. the method i use (iphone x-style bar) cannot g on the keyboard and so ican't go back from the keyboard easily... any suggests?

Thanks so much for this. This works perfectly
skewing/cropping problem
I followed all the steps on my Note8 but the homescreen and app drawer appear skewed to the right a little bit like there's an empty space on the left of the icons while the far right column icons are cropped in half, any solution for that ??
Update: I found that this problem is caused by changing the Screen Zoom (in Display settings) to the Small setting. If I set it to normal or Large, then nothing is wrong,,, except that I've grown so used to having small screen items that even the normal setting looks huge now to me. If there is any fix to this, that would be much appreciated.
First of All, thank you so much. Your guide works like a charm.
At one point I'm facing a problem with floatingmenu. It's all in Chinese and exept some basic knowlege about the Charakters. I'm unable to find die right settings.
An way major thanks!
Some app，something is below the navibar，cant display correctly
It ist possible to switch the language. Just go to the last bar in the first page and change the 5th setting. After pressing on the settings a windows appears with the option "English" .
Just use substratum and the system mods theme. I have nav bar hidden and just use gestures

**** THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED ****
Niwatori changes the display position of apps. The target device is a smartphone that has about 5-inch display because the purpose is one-handed operation.
Thanks to rovo89, I can use this on Lollipop!
Niwatori provides three one-handed modes:
- Movable Screen
- Slide Down
- Small Screen.
They work temporary, NOT permanent.
**
Niwatori was my local version of Flying Android. I released Niwatori since Xposed framework supports Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Differences:
- Abolished FA Toggle, pin, flying dialog and notification shortcut features.
- Control the window only from shortcuts.
- Move the status bar and the dialogs in the same way as the apps.
**
Compatibility
NIWATORI CONFLICTS WITH OTHER MULTIWINDOW AND ONE-HANDED SYSTEM.
I test on Nexus 4 with Stock ROM. Niwatori should work on Nexus devices running Stock. And I support CyanogenMod if Niwatori works with small special code for CM.
Usage
Create shortcut for one-handed mode by Niwatori on sub-launcher , such as Pie control.
[MY USAGE 1] Navigation Bar and Gravity Box
Use shortcuts:
Movable Screen
Pin
[MY USAGE 2] LMT Launcher's Pie
Use shortcuts:
Small Screen
Swap Left/Right
Expand notifications with extra action (Small Screen)
Testing (v0.4.5)
[DEV] Nexus 4, Android 5.1.1
Nexus 9. Android 6.0.0
Download
Xposed Module Repository
Google Play for Premium Settings
Translation
Volunteers are welcome to translate text (strings) to your language.
Download strings and edit two files:
- strings.xml
- strings_activity_settings.xml
And send them to me Note that text encoding of android is UTF-8.
If possible, place them in your language folder. ('values-ja' for Japanese, 'values-ru' for Russian, etc.)
Troubleshooting
Turn on "Log Actions" in niwatori's settings and call a shortcut for one-handed mode. Then Xposed framework logs as follow.
Code:
04-21 08:25:47.553 24125-24125/? I/Xposed﹕ jp.tkgktyk.xposed.niwatori.intent.action.SMALL_SCREEN
04-21 08:25:47.556 24125-24125/? I/Xposed﹕ NFW(ModActivity$20#onReceive): jp.tkgktyk.xposed.niwatori consumed: jp.tkgktyk.xposed.niwatori.intent.action.SMALL_SCREEN
The first line is shortcut (action) name, above case is Small Screen, and the second line logged who consumed the action by package name, above is niwatori settings. If the consumer isn't expected package, add the package into blacklist in niwatori settings.
Well

Good Job!
It seems to be the first module which has updated to adapt for new Xposed on Lollipop!
But i'm new to FlyingAndroid/Niwatori. My Device has no virtual navigation buttons and can't call the app as you shown on Youtube. is it now possible to call the app and scale the screen out by setting some kind of triggers???
Thanks in advance!

I got it, finnaly. You can add a gesture to every setting. But I see no use to it fi I can't put 2 window in the same screen.
@GalaxyS4_Lollipop;
@Demonbane_x;
Trigger for Niwatori is shortcut. The "shortcut" is the same as ordinary shortcuts of any apps. So you can fire "shortcut" from home app, launcher app, GravityBox's action (works on lollipop?) , etc.
This mod moves the display position of foreground app, but not show multiple apps. In the screenshots, I only show one app (Niwatori UI) and expanded statusbar.
This module not working on MIUI 6.

I like the idea of making floating apps, but if you can't put two apps in one window , I don't know for what to use it.
You are a good developer , I hope you will make an app like XHaloFloatingWindow for lollipop in future.
doesn't fly the window
I associate the "toggle" NFW action with a gesture via GMD Gesture Control. When I execute the gesture, it doesn't fly the window. Instead, it opens the Niwatori settings app.
I should add that most of the time it does nothing at all. I know I'm executing the gesture correctly because I get the correct haptic feedback. I'm using the paid app.
Seems promising, gonna try it out
Amazing app!
One problem I saw that came up was that I was no longer able to perform the second pull-down of the notification bar from the middle of the screen; instead, I now have to reach my thumb upwards far more.
I think the module changes the trigger area. Can you check this out? It would make life easier!
And by second pull-down, I mean the method to get from notifications to toggles (bt, wifi, etc.)

XHaloFloatingWindow is one of the best modules. I cannot make such app.
But I cannot use halo window efficiently because my phone doesn't have enough display size for multi window. On the other hand, I don't reach thumb at the top of the screen. I need to pull down the screen.

Please check these points:
If you fire the "toggle" action from the other launcher (e.g. home app), does the "toggle" work fine?
Close Niwatori settings app before you use its actions.
If you need a refund, please tell me your order number by email or private message on XDA.
EDITED: I tried GMD Gesture Control, however it says "no supported device". (because of lollipop?)

Right, GMD currently doesn't work on Lollipop.
I tried closing Niwatori settings before using its actions, but it still doesn't work.
I put the NFW actions widget on my home screen (selecting "toggle"), but when I press the widget, nothing happens.
Thanks, but I won't bother with the refund: I'm glad to throw you the support, and I'll keep re-testing the app every time you update. I hope you can try some things to make it work on my S4.

@Jimmy34742;
Thank you for your cooperation.
I found a fatal error in the settings. Depending on the combination of settings, it is not possible to change the window mode and move the app.
Please disable "Reset automatically" option basically. It is useful only when to fire actions from recents button.

I have "reset automatically" switched off, but it still doesn't work. If I don't back out of Niwatori's before going to another app, then the shortcut will re-enter Niwator at the same point. But if I exit Niwatori by backing out of it, then my shortcut just does nothing.

You're mistaken on both points! It does work quite well, and it has been updated for lollipop. I've been using it since lollipop Xposed was released (even before it was 'officially' supported, it worked on version 2.38... It's now been updated to version 2.41)
I would ask to add double-click on a recent. In CM12 like as long press is already taken - switch between the last two applications.
The ability to run the application down to the user is in the Donut version?

I said that logic does not suit me. A developer does not do anything to add / edit functions.
Not too often, but once in a while I accidentally minimize apps into pop up view. How do I disable that? I was digging through the settings and couldn't find it.
Please. Anyone!?
By reading the manual?

Yeah it's annoying me too, I've already minimized by accident a handful of times when I was trying to swipe down to get the notifications bar. If you find a setting let us know!
Very annoying
This is how it works... Don't know how you disable it though
So now you’ve mastered Multi Window mode, but there’s something else of note tangentially connected to that. Samsung included a cool feature from the Note 4 called Pop-up View that works with any app that supports Multi Window (and only those apps). Basically, you get a resizeable floating app window that you can move around the screen. You can even have more than one and minimize them to floating icons.
There are three ways to go about this: long press on an app in the multitasking UI, drag down from the top right corner when an app is open, or use the pop up button when you have an app in Multi Window mode.
You can arrange these floating windows however you want, drag content between them, and maximize them to full screen at any time.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't think you can disable it, unfortunately. I hope someone proves me wrong though.
I was looking for this too. As soon as i got the device I kept accidentally re-sizing windows.
How do you resize windows on the s6 edge? There should be a setting under device called multiwindow...I know my note 4 has it, but I can not find it on the newer lollipop device.

start from left or right top corner, quickly swipe down to the bottom of the other corner, like from top left to bottom right.
I found the new MultiWindow gesture pretty annoying. On my S6 every time I swept down on the notification bar using one hand I'd always create a floating window. On other Galaxy devices there is a Quick Toggle to turn the MultiWindow feature off/on. The ability to control the feature is still in the S6 however it is not exposed in the user interface. I wrote a small application that can either enable/disable MultiWindow or bring back the MultiWindow Quick Toggle. It was primarily written for the Galaxy S6 however it should work on most of the devices that include Samsung's MultiWindow. Look for " MultiWindow Toggle for Samsung" on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nerd.multiwindowtoggle
it worked!! Thanks a lot!

Worked perfectly on my G920V. Thanks!! I am amazed that Samsung hid the ability to disable this feature given how annoying and (seemingly) unnecessary it is with the new app switcher.
Worked brilliantly - thanks!
Simple
To disable it simply go to
Settings - (Device) Multi window - and disable Pop up view shortcut.
Tested on my Note 4 with android 5.0.1 stock
Ok you guys need to tap the soft key not push it because if you do you are going to get a split screen! Try it go on FB and then push and hold the left soft key and see what happens! My wife was doing the same thing!
There is a multi window toggle app for free in the app store
On my note 3: settings > display > multi window > (uncheck) pop-up view shortcut
I found this article for immersive mode for galaxy devices but upon updating to oreo, my note 8 is not going on immersive mode on the home screen and app screen.
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...re-screen-real-estate-no-root-needed-0177297/
I didn't know this was a thing.
I just have my taskbar come up when I need to, so just double tap it and it'll "un-stick" it!
Then whenever you need to access one of the buttons, you just swipe up and it's there.
I've found it particularly natural to use!
the article also includes full immersive mode (nav bar and status bar). in nougat it was system wide. now in oreo, it doesn't work in home screen and app screen
I'm fine having the Status Bar on the homepage, and the nav bar with the swipe function has turned in to a must. Using bxActions, i've remapped the Bixby button to get immersive mode in apps, which is where i need it, even though it has strange artifacts like the typing box on messaging apps tends to go a bit underneath the keyboard, but i got used to it.
Are you talking about a BAR showing across the top of the screen on the home page? I am on what CRC2 and.. no bar.
yes. i am also on crc2. i reset my phone twice and still showing status bar and nav bar on home screen and apps screen. maybe there is something on my phone.

i'm on Oreo and using an app in Playstore "Shortcutter Quicksettings "( paid version )
for the Immersive mode mode function .
But the free version is ......
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leedroid.shortcutter
You have to do a small ADB enabling on pc .
Works fine, you can also configure immersive mode
in Shortcutter app settings and have add a shortcut to your device screen to quickly enable either
" off/full/no statusbar/no nav "
Not sure if this function is fully available in free version .
I think you can also enable per app also .
Check it out if you really want immersive mode .
I have been using this app for a long time ( on and off )
i had no issues with app .
good luck

I use Shortcutter only for Immersive mode, as i can easily change modes with a tap.
You can either hide Statusbar /or Nav bar /or both or just tap off. (widget shortcut)
Take look at screenshots.
I'm sure it will answer your question.?
Good luck
Just to add, no root necessary.
Just a straight forward ADB command
that the dev gives clear example and guide.
Also had no issues with battery use.
Further in Shortcutter you can place cutom quick settings tiles for apps of your choice.
For me it's a good quality app, that i
have been using on and off for a long time.
Me, too.
I use APPs or ADB commands that all can't let home screen to immersive mode.
My phone is Note8 with Android 8.0.
Anyone could find the way to do that?

I use shortcutter in my Note8 with Android 8.0, but it couldn't use full immersive mode in homescreen, only hiding status bar could work in homescreen.
The toogle doesn't works. Have I to mod something else or activate it from other settings?

hi ,
The toggle does work .
I uninstalled Shortcutter and re installed to see if its works .!
No issues .
all i did was go to Shortcutter app /manage permissions/ Settings secure Access/ tap on it .....
then follow dev instruction ..go to his website (as listed )
Then on laptop launch ADB /adb devices ...etc /then copy and paste the command as listed on website ,enter and check your phone if it accepted the cmd
Go to Shortcutter /Settings ..scroll down to near bottom ..Immersive mode /Select mode,
tap that and show active Notification .
I have NOVA Prime .
I select Nova widgets and select the Shortcutter widget .and the choose Immersive icon in options .
(see screenshots ......................................)
Yes, it seems you skipped maybe a step .?
If not working, your ADB cmd did not stick !
I have some screenshots on laptop if you need to see ADB snapshots .?
Just asked again .
i cannot upload more than 4 snapshots at a time .
Good luck
post note
in my last screenshot its best to select "show mode selector option " ( this is for your widget option, on your home screen )or otherwise just choose .
It will then give you all options " off/full/no statusbar/no nav"
Place widget and tap on it and select mode .

Me, too.
I use APPs or ADB commands that all can't let home screen to immersive mode.
My phone is Note8 with Android 8.0.
Anyone could find the way to do that?

Yes, in all my years I've never used Samsung experience @ TouchWiz .
Wouldn't know what it can do, apart from that it's
quite limited (sometimes)
Always used Nova Prime.
Just so many tweaks, options etc.
Anyway each, their own preferences.

Is it possible to change the diagonal gesture from Google assistant to something else?
I really like gesture navigation, especially because of screen space, and there's no minimize function in the 3 button navigation which isn't great.
Anyway, would be great to modify the gesture or somehow add the minimize functionality to the 3 button navigation.

I have been using a Magisk module to hide the swipe gesture bar entirely on mine, and had previously used 3 buttons as well (using the gesture because then floating Gboard has more room and no forced space on the side for 3-buttons even when hidden) via "Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q-S), have it set to fully hide the gesture bar, and have been relying on "Xposed Edge Pro" for my actual gesture navigation and customizing of it, since I've changed my Moto G Power 2021 into a Watch (modified build prop to force landscape even by system apps and more ). So have Riru and Lsposed naturally via Magisk as well. Just some ways to pull that off.

Awesome!
Which version of riru works with edxposed?
I've tried a few and can't get edxposed to find any of them when installing.
EDIT:
I just noticed you said you installed Lsposed, got it installed successfully and i'm going to be checking out xposed edge pro, thanks a lot!
EDIT 2:
For those wanting a step by step to accomplish this. Not sure exactly how you got yours setup @Onoitsu2, but this way works for me.
First enable 3 button navigation (search navigation in settings)
Install "Xposed Edge" from here, enable it in Lsposed, reboot.
Xposed edge | Xposed Module Repository
repo.xposed.info
Enable the gestures in Xposed Edge, definitely at least a home gesture, a back gesture, and maybe a recent apps gesture. If you do not do this before the next step, you may have to restore a backup.
Note that gestures from the bottom of the screen will not work when the keyboard is open, so I created a back gesture from the side of the screen like the stock one. Then you can tap back to close the keyboard, other things could be used too, like a toggle soft keyboard among others I'm sure.
Then follow this guide.
[MOD][Magisk] Disable Navbar For 3rd-Party Navigation Gestures
If you're like me, you like using a 3rd party navigation gesture app with the navbar hidden. In Android 11, google disabled wm overscan which makes it difficult to hide the navbar. Luckily, it's possible with Magisk and a little bit of...

Now your relying only on the Xposed Edge module, and it's awesome!
Thanks @Onoitsu2
For some reason, my system UI keeps restarting, usually after I unlock my phone. Does that happen for you using Xposed Edge?
It only seems to happen when I use my fingerprint to unlock.

I would recommend enabling the gesture nav actually, as with the 3 buttons enabled, you actually lose screen real estate from invisible sections it keeps there in gboard and other keyboards as well, if you use the Android gesture nav it opens up that space as it seems to read that state in the gboard app and honors it, even if hidden or not it still gives the room. But then that "Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q-S)" Magisk module, run through the console it has you answer questions. Once you have Xposed Edge set up right, you can use that to fully hide the Android gesture nav, and get full screen space overall.
As for your crashing system UI, it sounds like you may have the double tap gesture enabled still for your power button. When I rooted, I think that is the only thing that I lost access to, just stopped working, but reader itself worked fine. I did have some issues when I left that option on in Settings, with System UI being dumb at times as I think it tried to trigger it but would not work properly. Just a thought, since I've come to use Xposed Edge and the shortcut panel instead, much more feature rich than the stock panel.

Awesome thanks for the tips.
I tried installing the full screen gestures module but I couldn't figure out how to disable the assistant gesture. I don't remember exactly, but I thought it only asked to disable the back button gestures, however I wouldn't doubt that I'm wrong ther on that. I'll have to reinstall it and try it the way your describing here.

I used that module to not only alter the gestures, but turn that gesture nav fully off, hiding it entirely relying only on Xposed Edge Pro for navigations on my device actually. No System UI crashes here, nor other quirks that way like keyboard going dumb and not permitting swiping from bottom (be sure you look at Xposed Edge's settings and tweak them, it's worth it messing versus defaults)

I just reinstalled it a bunch of times and you do get a lot more options if you choose immersive instead of Fullscreen.
It seems that no matter which options I choose and regardless of whether or not you use the 3 button or gesture system navigation, there's still a tiny black bar on the bottom of the screen.
The black bar is in exactly the same place as it is during boot. When compared to the top of the screen which goes all the way to the top, the bottom bar still has a little part of unused space.
Did you manage to extend the screen all the way to the bottom, as it does with the top of the screen?
It's definitely extended more, but it would be awesome to get the entire screen space.
On a side note, do you know if there's a way to force all apps to be completely fullscreen and go all the way to the very top with the status bar hidden?
When I hide the status bar and turn it into landscape mode with the status bar hidden, I do get to use the full space in the app readera for example, but when using it in portrait mode, the space just goes unused despite checking off all apps to go around the camera whole in settings. For example, Firefox doesn't use the full space at the top of the screen, even with the status bar hidden.

Have you tried in multitasking list, tap on app's icon, it has a pullout of options that show like Full screen and if enabled split screen as another. That is the only thing I've used to make it fill up that upper notch area the camera is housed in. Mine is set to (Developer Options > Display Cutout) Device default. You want yours set to Hide to use the full space as often as possible I believe.
If you're on A11, When you go to Settings > Display and tap Advanced to expand the menu, do you have an option labeled "Full Screen" ? From there you can choose the apps you'd like to run full screen, of course this assumes the app is compatible and capable to do so.
Is there anyway to move the navigation buttons to the right?
My thumb just can't reach the back button
Thanks
it grinds my gears too!, here we are at the most advanced android 13, many years of it on smartphones and yet still so many things baked into oems, like navigation customisation
to me pixel phones must solve these issues since its stock, and not just root everything all the time, to me its meant to solve the android problem of baked in oem features, like one ui or else samsung just wins androids, and pixels are done, i wont keep it that long lol

Xposed is the Android equivalent of cancer. The Fullscreen Immersive Gestures module for Magisk and a launcher that has custom gestures, e.g. Nova Launcher, is more than sufficient.
"Xposed is the Android equivalent of cancer"
Lol okay
Well I've tried Fullscreen Immersive Gestures on Magisk, it didn't work, so I have my solution which does work. I have zero space taken up at the top of the screen, and zero space taken up at the bottom of the screen.
I have an invisible app-switch, home, and back button at the bottom of the screen, and the ability to add dozens more should I care to.

Use Xposed Edge Pro, it allows you to designate your own invisible buttons. My setup is:
Lower left, swipe up to go into multi, long-press to bring up in-app menu
Lower center, swipe up to open Bottom Quick Settings, long press to go home
Lower right, swipe up to go back
But you don't have to use swipe up, you can tap, double-tap, long press, swipe up, swipe down, swipe left, or swipe right. You also have different areas, 3x per side (left/center/right, top/middle/bottom) for each of those, and each can be assigned to do a number of incredibly useful things.
If you have trouble reaching with your thumb, you can assign lots to the lower-right (near your thumb), long press to do one thing, swipe up to do another, swipe to the left to do something, etc.
Don't let anybody tell you it's bad, test it for yourself and make your own decision.
If you do use that setup, you can disable the nav bar entirely by:
Installing "MagiskHide Props Config", and a terminal emulator
Restart
Run the term emulator, give it superuser by typing su and granting, then run command props
Go to code 5 (add your own prop), type n for a new prop, call the new prop qemu.hw.mainkeys, give it a value of 1, press y to continue with defaults, press y to reboot again.
NavBar is now gone (like in my image).
If you want to bring the NavBar back, just run props again on the terminal, and delete the prop you made above.

If it didn't work you're doing it wrong. But then again I really only use it to ditch the hint at the bottom of the screen, so my use case may not be typical.
There is a reason why custom ROM developers don't accept bug reports with that crap you use in play, and that's because 9 out of 10 times the issue is Xposed itself. So Xposed and its derivatives needed to be put out to pasture years ago and just die already. Anything they can do can a root app can do just as effectively, and without the system instability penalty of the cancer that is Xposed.
At this point we are getting a little off topic, as the OP I do think was trying to avoid rooting to solve his problem. Of course, root may be the only solution to the problem.
I have my Back-Button on the bottom right, just old-school without rooting.
Sry for my english, Germany here.

Which is why Fullscreen Immersive Gestures - a Magisk module - is a better option than any Xposed crap. It at least works, if you set it up correctly.
