Curious about issue on the P6 ! - Huawei Ascend P6, Mate

Hello all- I am in the market for a new mobile and the P6 is carried by my local carrier and played with it today and must say I love it.
My only very small gripe is with the navigation bar on the bottom of the screen, I am not crazy about it but it is a minor issue, anyway I have seen photos of the P6 and some have the navigation bar and some do not !
Is this perhaps a firmware option or is there some way to make it appear/disappear ?
Any information would be appreciated !!!
Cheers, LL13- :victory:

actually p6 has function to disappear the navi bar by pressing small down arrow located in the corner of navigation bar.You can make it reappear by swiping up from the bottom.

Oh I see. I didnt even realise that but if you choose to take away the nav bar how exactly do you go back a page or go back to the homescreen ?
Thanks for that hanna..... !!!

Hi !
Well i don't hide navi bar all the time as it is necessary when u r playing a bit with your phone. I hide the navigation bar when i play games, watch videos and during browsing. I dont use stock browser though every browser have backward and forward button so it does not troubles me. U can hide the navi bar when u like and can make it reappear any time when u want.....

Cheers for your help hanna... I am in the process of selling my E975 and will use the money to get a white P6. The phone is a beauty and I like the fact that you can download themes ala MIUI, etc..

Depends on firmware
It depends on firmware, from about 107 (I think) that little icon is no longer on the navigation bar, I can also confirm this with Firmware version 111.
But if you check this thread and follow it, you can remove the bar at the bottom.

Is possible to reduce the NavBar

Hello boys!!! It wanted to ask if it is possible to reduce the NavBar. I would be interested to have it in 20 dpi.
Thank you :good:
Well, I have solved by half the matter. We go to it:
1º: To install Xposed of here http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk (thanks to slass1990)
2º: To install Xblast Tools (1.6.1)
3º: To go to the module that we have just installed (Xblast)
4º: To go to bar of navigation / height sweeps (I mark 24dpi)
5º: To mark above the color of the bar and 6 to take it to the transparent one (this me has not worked)
6º: To go to framework and to restart.
I hope that you like

My phone is rooted and this still does not work. This app seems to be hit or miss, I have never actually gotten anything in this app to work. Perhaps only the mainstream (Samsung, HTC, etc..) are supported ?? I'm not sure.

Maybe something like at the first pull down appear a little square or something like and when you press the little square and pull it down the notification menù appears this would resolve the problem: "F**K i didn't want to pull down the notification bar now my game is ruined" XDDDDD

Preventing Navigation Bar Burn In (No Root, ADB needed only)

Hi all, many people complain about a burn in. With my phone 6 months in and no burn in, I'd like to suggest a tip with no need of root
1) Install Navbar Apps
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
2) Enter app and enable Active App option, which changes the Navbar color according to the app.
3) Install Custom Navigation Bar
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner
4) Enter app and go to Navigation Bar> Experimental Tweaks. (OPTIONAL: Make a new Profile with these settings for easy switching like I do. One custom profile and one stock profile)
There, change each button to keycode, and select the right keycode.
5) Choose the correct Icon, or non at all. I downloaded a transparent dot icons and use it for all 3, looks best to me. Look at screenshot.
Done!
Optional: Add Google Assistant key with Custom Navigation Bar or make a quick setting shortcut with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leedroid.shortcutter
Screenshots Attached.
Transparent Dot I use: https://goo.gl/photos/JUHiZbM1jsgcusY8A

I'm sorry, I didn't understand.
You don't want a colored bar? You want it totally transparent?
The app won't let me go past this step. So do I have to be rooted?

Did you do the instructions on the screen? If so, A button will appear in the Navbar.
Nice, thanks for the guide!

Navigation buttons anyway to swap them around ? and make them appear or disappear ?

All my recent phones have been Oneplus phones (5 and a 5T) and there is always an option to change the order of the recent and back buttons, I tend to prefer them the opposite way round .....but usually not an issue to change, but I cannot find any button switching on the recent and back buttons.
Also is there a option to make the recent and back buttons just drop off the screen when surfing , on the 5T you can assign a gesture so just flick up from the bottom of the screen and the buttons appear, which is really useful when reading a website as it gives you more screen to view rather than losing a centimetre from the bottom of the screen.....but once again I cannot find such an option.....anyone know how or if this can be set ?
Other than those and the battery percentage not showing ( I just use an app instead and turn the battery icon off) I am enjoying the phone, but those two fairly minor things would be nice to work out...
Probably you need root to do this on stock Android (there is already a pre-patched Magisk boot.img for the A2L). Then an app or a (still non-existent) Magisk module will do the trick.

Not yet, but as I said above, if you search in the development section (very easy, there is only one thread at the moment) there is a user that posted a modified boot image that includes Magisk.
If you flash that image via fastboot and then install the Magisk manager apk, you'll be ok (there is a link to a guide in the same post with the boot image).
u can use xda navigation gusture..

HI , The only issue with the link is that it explains for rooted then has a link for non-rooted which takes you take a page of 24 pages full of different hacks that do not seem to explain how to do this for non-rooted phones.
Do you have a direct link to the non-rooted method please.
TYI
for the guys who don´t know if you press the settings button on the navigation bar bar about 10 sec ( keep doing until a new option appears on system menu) called interface tuning or similar that you can tweak the status bar
You can use "custom navigation bar", using adb instead of root.
this is not true. if it is true, show us.

maybe you mean notification shade
not navigation bar.
yes i can confirm that pressing the settings button on the notification shades for a few second make system UI tuner to appear on settings above developer settings. and it's only purpose is for hiding some statusbar icons.

[Q] Back button remover?

Hello,
I am just wondering if there is an option available, that would hide the back button while using the P (Pill) navigation on the Pie.. I'm asking mostly because of cosmetic standpoint.. For apps like Nova Launcher etc.. I love the functionality of the Pill, but because the back button always there, my OCD won't let me use anything else than stock launcher.
By the way, I saw the feature in some Pixel 3 XL ROM, on their forum (at least I think I did saw it..) That enables the Pill to swipe right to go back (as it should be by default by Google) If anyone has any idea or suggestions I would really appreciate it.
Maybe installing Nova Launcher as a system app would work?
I use custom navigation bar app to hide the nav bar all together and have it set up to only pop up when I swipe up on the navbar area. It then goes away a few seconds later.

I'm not sure if you can get rid of the back button but why don't you give the Fluid Navigation Gesture app a try. By using it you can completely get rid of the navigation bar and use only swipes from the bottom and/or edge of the screen to navigate. You can also set up all the actions you want to be present when you swipe up or swipe up and hold etc... Give it a try, a very useful app. ??
Thanks, I will try it!

My system is rooted and FNG has root access granted, but I think it should work without root as well. Give it a try. ?
Look at my screenshot. I have 2 back buttons with the pill. The symitry helps my cdo and having 2 back buttons is convenient.
If i remember correctly, it's done through adb shell. Let me try and find the thread...
Edit: this is the thread i used to give me the 2 back buttons.
