why is there no pie control anymore? - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

i loved to use Paranoid Android's PIE Control on my old phone for years, now on Poco, no Custom-Rom seems to have this feature. Why?

Ah sorry to hear that.
Anyhow, Google has removed the mechanism used by these apps (also the XDA gesture one) in Android 11, so pie controls don't have much future unfortunately...

damnit google ^^ well i found a workaround because i really don't want to use the stock navigation, i now use LMT and fortunally the custom-rom i use offer a navigation switch quick panel, so if i really need to go inside the settings, i can switch it on, navigate with the stock one and can still use LMT again outside. Thats kinda dumb but it works and it's at least something..

Ok, that's an acceptable solution. Are you talking about Omni ROM ?
P.S.: Here is the article explaining in details the removal of the overscan feature used by LMT and others : https://www.xda-developers.com/google-confirms-overscan-gone-android-11-crippling-third-party-gesture-apps/

★How To Get True Immersive Mode/Fullscreen/Expanded Desktop in ANY Rom★

Want true fullscreen in any 7.1.1 Nougat rom? Want to be able to get maximum viewing space on your 6p? I have a treat for you!
Although the 6p screen is very large, I'm a huge proponent of maximizing screen real estate.
I found this setup is awesome because it gives you so much more viewing screen for everyday use. For example, in Chrome, now you can see so much more of a web page and it makes your viewing space so much better:
1) All in One Gestures App: enable fullscreen (within the app to get true fullscreen/immersive mode. Expanded desktop rocks. Massively improved viewing space baby!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...gestures&hl=en
2) Download Swipe Navigation App: from playstore. This is AWESOME. Enables swipe gestures to navigate and swipe as opposed to having a physical navbar. This saves huge amounts of screen real estate. At the bottom of the screen, left swipe up is back, middle swipe up is home, and right swipe up becomes recents. (This is so cool).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...vigation&hl=en
3) In a build prop editing app (I recommend BuildProp Editor), paste this line and save:
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1
(this removes the on-screen navigation bar, now you have awesomely improved screen real estate!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...p.editor&hl=en
Can you use the build prop edit to hide nav bar in 7.1.1 last I knew it wasn't possible.
Not sure where you heard that, because yes you certainly can!

it's possible to hide the navbar. it's not possible to change its height (through substratum). maybe that's what you heard
Hmm. Keyboard won't work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Kind of a deal-breaker.
Edit: tried out Swipe Navigation and the build.prop edit. Works perfectly right now. I was a little worried after restarting the phone because the Swipe Navigation app didn't start right away (I couldn't back out of an application, lol). But it started up in less than a minute and everything is good. I'm going to use for a while and maybe buy the $1.50 add-on that unlocks custom actions.

This app from the play store is the best that I have seen. Cost $1.99, I brought it with google play credits from the google surveys. It will give you the tiles in your toolbox and everything. You can hide the status bar, the nav bar, or both, plus alot extra. I use it. As long as your rooted there is no need to edit the build prop.

Easy there you get very defensive.
Rather then squabble with you, i think i discovered why it's not working for you.
Are you using superuser or supersu? I'm using the newest chainfire supersu SR3 beta. This might be your issue:
http://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
** IMPORTANT** Also, did you enable all permissions for the app?
As you can see from my screenshot, this is mine, works perfectly and IF you take the right steps i highly suspect it works for EVERYONE.

The reason why you need to edit the build prop, is because, if you want to use Swipe Gestures (the easiest and superior method for nav bar-less navigation imo) is because otherwise now you have two extra steps. You swipe up from bottom, and now you wait for the nav bar to 'come up'. You then hit the button you want. Takes time.
With my method, you instantly navigate with a gesture. One lightning fast action. That's why removing the nav bar in build prop is so important.
Also, the app you suggested costs money. Can be done better and at absolutely no cost.

Like I said earlier, I set my phone up just using the Swipe Navigation app and the build.prop edit. It's all working right now, so I don't really think that first app would add any benefit to me right now, even if it was working for me.

I clearly stated to download the beta that i posted. It's like three months ahead of the 'stable' SuperSU development cycle.
What rom are you using? I'm using uberstock.
I flashed two other roms, and I was able to get the keyboard working in immersive mode in both.
Everyone felates and sucks off purenexus, but Uberstock runs circles around it in my opinion.

(ROOT) Disable Navbar

Hey, since I bought my Pixel 2 Xl, I saw on videos those nav bar burn in and so I've tried both immersive and Tulsadiver Mod, Navbar Gone with Swipe Navigation with Edge Gesture. Immersive is good but it doesn't get rid of the nav bar completely and everytime I Swipe up Navbar gets up so i discarded the Immersive mode.
Then i tried Navbar gone, it worked great until some apps like Google photos crashed randomly. I checked if it was anything installed on my phone but i did a factory image reset and install just Magisk and the mod and it when crashing again.
Looking at my old devices (Nexus 5) and tried to use what i did use back in the day to remove my navbar to use pie and boom! It worked flawless and no crashing with any app. Obviously you need ROOT.
I only tested on stock ROM**
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO WRONG, ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA
REMEMBER TO DOWNLOAD SOME NAVIGATION APP BEFORE DOING THIS.
[YOU NEED ROOT]
1.Download a Build.Promp Editor /I used https://goo.gl/jXvZSu
2. Grant root access and press the edit button
3. Go to the last line press enter (Wich will create a new line)
4. Add this on a new line: "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1" (without the quotes)
5. Save and reboot.
I'd hope I've helped someone
This isn't really new but I'm sure your post will be helpful to some, nonetheless.
One thing I want to stress is that it is crucial to download and setup an app like Pie Control (Play Store link), Unique Controls (Play Store link), or Gesture Control (Play Store link) prior to disabling your nav bar. Otherwise you'll have no way to navigate around, making downloading and installing one of these nav bar apps after the fact, extremely difficult.

It should work on any ROM. I've personally used this method to disable nav bar on stock as well as Lineage OS, with no issues. Carbon should be fine too.
If you want to do this system-lessly, my magisk module does same thing.

I'd suggest using LMT launcher instead of pie control. Same features but no ads and it's neat

You guys Dan also try the "custom navigation bar" app which will allow you to select invisible icons. Not a perfect solution but it works well.
Very tks
To add my five cents:
Been using Fluid Navigation Gestures application for a while. With the last update before public release it became mature enough to recommend it.
You can disable navbar / it has various options. Try it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid

doesnt work!!
im on the latest version of stock pie, rooted with magisk.
This just doesnt work for me at all.
Ive tried using a build.prop editor
Ive tried adding it using adb shell, to see if it made a difference.
NOTHING WORKS!!
The magisk module doesnt work.
Any ideas as to why? I dont want to install another 3rd party app.
Ive always just added the build.prop setting, and used pie control from the play store.
HELP!!

How-To Enable Two-Button Navigation on the OnePlus 8 Pro

I love that OnePlus gives us the option to use either gesture or three-button navigation. But I wish we had two-button navigation too! It's the best of both worlds! The good news is that it's super easy to enable Two Button Navigation with a super quick and easy ADB command. You will need USB Debugging enabled on your phone and ADB installed on your computer.
ADB Command: adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton
Check out the video here to see it in action.
If you are on Android 11, the first method will not work. Please watch this video for instructions on how to get Two Button Navigation working on Android 11 (root required):
Would you happen to know how to get the original OnePlus gestures back to? Just figured I'd ask. Thanks.

they were the OnePlus gestures found on the OnePlus 6t that's what I came from and the back was a swipe up from the bottom corner of the left or the right side and then swipe up home was straight up from the center and then recents was swipe up and hold and then you can also jump to your last app that you opened by swiping up and to the right.

So it took me a few minutes to refresh my memory but I figured out what you're looking for! Good news is that I have the answer, bad news is that it's not what you're looking for.
When Google rolled out Android 10 they basically gave OEM's requirements on how the navigation bar had to work. The old implementation you're looking for is OnePlus's take on gesture navigation and Google basically says don't do it. So when they rolled out the OnePlus 7, they got rid of that option.
There might still be a way to enable it, but I haven't found anything yet. If I do, I'll be sure to let you know!

FWIW, Google doesn't force OEMs to get rid of their own gesture implementation - they just have to hide it behind one extra Settings layer. For example, on the OPPO Find X2 Pro running ColorOS 7.1, you can still enable the swipe-up gestures (the same one from older versions of OxygenOS) as well as Google's full-screen gestures.

I wish it was a bug! Unfortunately, it's 100% by design. With Android 10, Google basically retired any navigation options that weren't their gesture or three-button options. Manufacturers can still include their own options but they have to do it in a submenu and can't use the Google framework files for it. They basically have to repack a bunch of files to get their stuff in the right spot on the menus, to get the overlay to work correctly, and then they have to still push the Google options as the default. It's just not cost-effective for OnePlus (or any manufacturer other than maybe Samsung) to use another option now. This method worked because OnePlus already had the work done on the framework, they just didn't update the menu to show their navigation options. With Android 11, there was enough of a rebase going on that they didn't go through the effort of adding it back in. But hey, this is XDA. I'm sure we'll see some mods in the future that will bring it back though!

rom with most custom recents menu?

RR used to be the best but the version for this phone doesn't have much.. Can anyone recommend another rom? I like to adjust the recents menu, especially if I can make it stack vertical instead of horizontal.

Really the horizontal? There are no titles, no way to read quickly, and you have to scroll slowly one by one. There's basically no way to even get through all your open apps if you have more than maybe 5.

Don't need titles when there's an app icon at the top, you don't have to scroll slowly past them.... A big swipe gets you to the other end of the list easily.
It's the worst thing to happen to Android, even with plenty of other aggravations every year. Remember when they linked call and alert volume for no reason? The people designing these phone system plans have my least respect.

Did you ever get a straight answer on this? I'm intending to go with RR because it has an alternative to the abomination that is the current Android recents (I could rant here, again, but I won't ).
EDIT: Answer by self. RR's Slim Recents works perfectly; better than stock Android's recents, even before they murdelized it.

Themes / Apps / Mods How-To Enable Two-Button Navigation on Android 12 (Root Required)!

I am a huge fan of the old Two-Button Navigation that Google gave us with Android 9. I always try the latest and greatest with nav gestures and always come away feeling like they are lacking. Unfortunately, Google officially removed Two-Button Navigation with Android 10. Fortunately, there's a way to bring it back! And it's even easier now than it was before! Just install the Magisk Module and enable it in Settings.

I am a huge fan of the old Two-Button Navigation that Google gave us with Android 9. I always try the latest and greatest with nav gestures and always come away feeling like they are lacking. Unfortunately, Google officially removed Two-Button Navigation with Android 10. Fortunately, there's a way to bring it back! And it's even easier now than it was before! Just install the Magisk Module and enable it in Settings.
Magisk Module: https://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Misc Files/Magisk Modules/Two-Button Navigation
Check out the video for a walk-through.

Yep! I originally put the files together for Oxygen OS 11 but they work for Android 12 as well. In fact, they work better for Android 12! I'm using it right now on my Pixel 6 and you can see it all in action in my video.
Hello, this does not work on OOS 12 on my OnePlus 9 Pro... When I activate it, I have the 2 buttons but I can't open the recent app drawer...

Dang! I haven't had a chance to try it on OOS 12 yet. I'll have to give it a try and see what I can figure out.

Thank you, 2 buttons navigation is a must have , I don't know why they deleted it
The link won't take you directly to the files like in the video. IDK if they were moved or what, but you can find them pretty easily if you navigate through the folders and find one named "Magisk modules". Confirmed that this does work on the Pixel 6 (oriole).

Sorry, I'm not sure what link you're looking at but the link in the OP is the same one I used in the video. Can you show me what link you're looking at so that I can fix it? Thanks!

Actually, that's on me. I copied the link into Chat from my browser so I could click on it from my phone rather than trying to find the post from the app, because I'm lazy. Chat inexplicably only hyperlinked up to the "Misc" folder, so I essentially clicked on https://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Misc Disregard then.

Lol that's actually not you at all! That's 100% on me and the noob I was when I built the site 10+ years ago. I put a space in "Misc Files" instead of an underscore or something and most browsers don't like spaces. I've wanted to fix that for years but it would require some massive overhauls and updating hundreds of links all over the Internet. Sorry for the pain!
Does this work on 13 beta?

I haven't tested it yet but I don't see why it wouldn't. Give it a try and let us know?

Awesome! Thank you for letting us know. Enjoy!
I've been using this on Android 13 since it's official launch on Pixel, and the swipe up to go to recents gesture isn't working anymore.

Can you try testing the following:
Turn off Auto Rotate.
Turn your phone sideways while using an app that supports sideways view.
Check if the "rotate display" icon appears.
The reason I am asking is because the "rotate display" icon no longer shows up for me after updating to Android 13.
