XDA Navigation Gestures App - LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi, has anyone tried a new application by XDA? What are your thoughts?
Google Play link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar

my navigation bar does not hide...

I'm trying it right now. And it's not too bad. Only complaint is you can't change the transparency so that small bar will always be there. But you can change the size and make it really small so it won't be that noticeable.
So far, it seems like a good alternative to All in One Gestures. Will update on battery life later.

Did it hide your navigation bar ?
It won't hide my navigation bar .

Works pretty well
It works pretty well for the most part, though on apps where they are black you can see a white line on the very bottom of the screen. Which is kinda annoying.

If you want hide the stock navigation bar, I find a workaround using immersive mode. You can enable it in nogaut too using an app called "SystemUI Tuner" and giving to it adb permission through a pc (so without root).
I don't like too much this gesture so i return to stock, but if you want this work.

Don't know why but it doesn't ask for root permission (needed in order to hide the navbar), so you need the adb commands, for the rest it works pretty well.

For hide the navbar you can switch the app proportion for the 18: 9 and set the permissions again. After this, turn off the gestures and turn on. If this not work, restart the phone. For me it works.

Can't find the scale option under lg g6 with 8.0.
There are some apps there but no navigation gestures.
I think with Android 7 I had the option. Now I can't find it any more. Can someone assist?
Or is it obsolete with Android 8 ?

Thank you

I love this app.
My battery autonomy is superb and also have more space on the screen.
But the navigation bar doesn't hide automatically, I used SystemUI Tuner from the playstore to hide it.

Hello, when i'm trying to grant permission i only get :"Operation not allowed: java.lang.SecurityException: grantRuntimePermission: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.GRANT_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS." what can i do pls ?

I have the porblem that if I open an app lets say, Instagram or Armorfly Browser, the white line at the bottom just dissapears. Then I was swiping up from the bottom to try and get it back or at least the nav bar, after a few tries, the nav bar and the white line for the gestures were showing and dissapearing all the time, it was like they were having a fight for who will stay at the bottom of my screen haha
Does anybody know a fix for that?
Thanks

I'mf facing the following problem, the app is constantly loosing it's rights

[Q] status bar help

Hey everyone, I've been searching and can't find any info about the problem I'm having. I'm using tnt lite 4.3.2 and have adw.launcher (free version) installed. The status bar at the top of the screen can be pushed up to hide and I want it to stay stationary. When it goes up and hides it starts locking up when I pull it back down to view it. I've gone into adw's settings and unchecked "hide the status bar" so it doesn't hide on its own but if I swipe up on the screen by accident it goes up and hides. I'm assuming it's supposed to hide like this but I would think there would be a way to lock it so its always visible. Or even better, a fix to prevent it from locking up when I unhindered it.
Check under gestures and change swipe up to none

[Help] how do you guys always show status bar?

in some apps the status bar autohide , like music player and settings , same for my tab 4 7.0 .
Unfortunately this is a "feature" of kitkat and above called immersion mode. Good app designers will give users a choice on if they want it enabled and bad ones will not. You can still swipe down from the top of the screen to show the notification bar (status bar) briefly but it will cover part of the app in the process since it is not really part of the screen anymore.

How to permanently hide the navigation bar ?

hello everyone I would like to completely remove the navigation bar at the bottom to set up a gesture system a bit like the iphone

If you are rooted, this may be what you're looking for.. Just be careful as these devices are easily brickable.
Because of the way Huawei does their Android setup, you don't apply these changes to /system/build.prop but you apply to /vendor/build.prop instead.

How can you setup that gesture system? Please can you show?
No solution for non rooted?

Disable the GPS notification in the notification bar

Hi,
as soon as I'm running any program like google maps, waze or other SW using the GPS I get an "icon" in the status-bar telling me the obvious (that positioning is on). The Mate 20 PRO's large screen Notch does not make room for taking up space with that kind of unnecessary "information".
I tried to turn this status indicator off but failed miserably.
Is there any way this can be done?
System UI Tuner is probably the easiest option - I have it hiding the Bluetooth, NFC, and alarm icons, but it can do GPS as well.
If you can't use ADB you can use this method to hide a few of the icons, but GPS isn't one of them. Nova launcher can also create the shortcut for you.
I'm running Nova, which shortcut is it I can create with it?

Must Have Apps on the ROG 2 [1-11-2019]

Hi guys,
These apps i am about to introduce will change your phone experience for the better not just our phone for that matter but any Android phone.
1. Immersive Mode Manager (Paid)
This app is a must for every Amoled screen to protect your phone from future screen burn, the other thing is you get to enjoy the full screen experience with every app on your phone. I install this app on all of my Android devices.
I have created a thread long ago doing it manually but i think it's too much of work for people who want an app for that, if you want a manual free alternative check it out.
2. Glimpse Notifications ( Free)
So on the ROG 2 phone only a couple of apps does wake the device when you receive a notification mostly chatting apps and I guess not all of them. This is where Glimpse Notifications solves the problem that is if you just want the screen to simply light up.
3. Blokada (Free)
You must have an Ad blocker on the list if you are unrooted and definitely one of the best open source and free app out there is this one.
4. Fluid Navigation Gestures (Free/Pro Features)
I will dare to say IMPO that it's the best custom gesture navigation app on Android currently. Also it's way better than the default gesture navigation because of the extra features.
5. Tiles (Paid)
Although it's a paid app it's worth its price. The beauty of having it you get options of having tiles of any application you need including the power button which I use mainly for that purpose, instead of clicking and wearing the power button.
6. Edge Gestures (Paid)
This is by one of my favorite developers in the play store, he has some other apps in the play store you should check them out. Now why I recommend this app because with this app you can add extra features to the default system gesture navigation which completes it.
I stopped using FNG because in certain apps it doesn't play well and sometimes it stops. So using this app you can add whatever shortcuts, apps using one swipe from whichever side of the screen you like especially the top part of the side where back swipe doesn't work anyway which makes the default gesture navigation complete.
7. Zone Launcher (Free/Paid)
Launch any app from any screen with one swipe, this is a new favorite.
-------
Edit:
I have removed "Light Flow" from the list due to it not working properly with our device. When you try to customize the led notifications for third party apps and then testing the modifications within the app itself everything seems be okey. But it turns out non of the modifications apply or stick. Anyway for now there isn't any third party app that can customize the led notifications for our device!
I will keep updating this thread once other apps are discovered or suggested.
-------
Thanks for the suggestions! Definitely these apps seem useful and apart from Fluid Nav Gestures and Light Flow, rest are new to me.
Also a small correction, link to Fluid Nav Gestures is wrong(tiles link attached to Fluid Nav Gestures text).

6. Light Flow Legacy (Free)
This app is a must have if you want to customize the led notification light for each app, currently i believe only 3 colors are available for our device (Red, Yellow, Green) so you can set any colors of those to any app you want.

Hi, thanks for these. I really like FNG. However, I'm having an issue with Immersive Mode. All the input boxes that are normally above the keyboard (e.g. try to change the name of your phone) are hidden because they are now under the keyboard.
Any idea how to fix this?

Make sure that the system navigation is set to virtual key navigation instead of gesture. Now if you have the pro version of FNG you can disable the navigation bar from the app settings. So either buy the pro version of FNG and disable the navigation bar from there or use another app to disable the navigation bar which you can find some apps do that in the play store.

Make sure it's not killed by mobile manager. Also disable battery optimization for it. Personally I mainly use a different color for two apps sms and calls. I use red color for calls and yellow for sms.

On my side when I do a test it works fine. But I can't confirm if it's working all the time because I can't recall the last time I noticed the notification light of my custom notifications.
Try to reinstall the app and play with settings.

I only see the notification light when the phone is off and is charging
I use the APP dimly. It helps lower the minimum brightness on the phone so you won't get blinded using it in a dark room.
I just updated my phone to 1908.21 WW and now ther LED notification is back and working again!

I have tried both Fluid Navigation Gestures and Edge Gestures, both pro/paid version, and the system will sooner or later make them stop working, and have to enable them again, having to give them permission to draw over other apps from time to time and it is a bit annoying. did you or someone manage to make it work perfectly? any tips on what might I be doing wrong? thanks
I don't think Tiles app works as it says it's only for Naugut and Oreo. I have paid for it and now it's not working. I don't know why did you say that it works with our phone. You should not give wrong info to others without checking.

If you don't know how to use it that's is your problem, I have it right now on my device working. Add to that I haven't recommended any app on this thread without testing. Choose your words carefully!
One more thing, if you don't have anything positive to say just move on and let me be, you don't have to visit this thread or take my word for that matter!
