[SOLVED] System UI Tuner doesn't show up in Android M - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Just flashed Android M final version from factory image, try the method (long tap on Settings gear) for System UI Tuner, but nothing happens...
Any idea?

It took me several tries to get it to work. I finally went to settings to see if I missed the message, but I didn't. Once I did it once from the settings screen it worked.

Probably the animation is disabled in developer option. Enable it and reboot.

Yes, i disabled the animation...i hope that's the reason...i am not have the tab with me right now, so can't try immediately.
Thanks!

Google is hiding everything from users as usual.
System UI tuner is nowhere to be found on Nexus 7 by default even under developer options. It just doesnt exist!
In order to enable System UI tuner on your Nexus 7 in the first place you have to long tap settings icon and then you get message "congratulations, system UI tuner has been enabled"
Enjoy!
BTW, there is no vertical app drawer by default on Nexus 7 either! You have to download "Google Now Launcher" app from Google Play/ Carefully read notifications once you open this app, it is asking if you want to transfer all icons on your current homescreen to new one or start from scratch

the animation was the trick...or the bug?
Anyway, it's working now.

I am unable to get this to activate. I went under develop options to check the animation settings. All I see is: window animation scale, transition animation scale, and animator duration scale. All 3 are at 1x. Any thoughts?

im using a note 3 running resurrection remix android 6.0.1 and i am also unable to enable system ui tuner. Developer options is turned on, animations are turned on as well, but the gear will not spin and i cannot get the toast message no matter how many times i try to press and hold the button. Please help.

my t-mobile galaxy note 5 just updated to Marshmallow, and i am not able to enable the system ui tuner. any help ?

Im having the same problelm

let me know if you get any answers.

I have the same problem. Doesn't work.

With Cyanogenmod 12.1 (latest smapshot) my problem is the same. The cog keeps spinning around and stops when I don't touch it anymore. Is it possible to edit some config file to activate the System UI Tuner? Or isn't there any Sytem UI Tuner in the Cyanogenmod releases at all?
Heinz

^It does the same in CM13 on my i777. I'm pretty sure it doesn't do anything because those settings are already available in CM.

sorry, wrong phone

How is this SOLVED? I am having the same problem on a non rooted Samsung galaxy s5. And this did not explain why it is not working or how to get to the system ui tuner. I've tried everything, but the gear doesn't spin at all. And in all the pics I've seen, none of them have hardware buttons like the galaxies do, they've always been the buttons on the screen, the back button, the home button, and the menu button.

I am using asus zenphone 2 laser 5.5.....
I can't enable the system ui tunner...
I tried all the way what are clearly shown above.
Any one help me

Touchwiz removed the settings with one of its updates. There is no current access to the System UI.
Recommend removing the SOLVED part of the title, so as to not confuse anyone searching for solutions.

I've tried all the options mention in this thread. But cudnt get into the system ui. Is it device specific or all marshmallow devices are supported? Please help me in a more detailed method if possible. I'm using Symphony i10 mtk6580 android 6.0 device.

[SOLVED] Chrome not showing animation when opening new tab

Hi,
I was using Google Chrome on my G3 (v5.0, not rooted) and when I opened a link in a new tab nothing happened, I don't remember if an animation used to happen showing a tab in the bottom opening in the background but this animation is present on the Nexus 5 and on my rooted LG Nitro HD (flashed with CM for v4.4.4).
And when I press the square button to see the running apps I don't see my newly opened tab at the very beginning then directly it appears.
Tried clearing Chrome's cache and rebooting my phone nothing changed.
Can you try it and help if it's a problem?
Thanks,
Wow. I would return the phone right now.
Huge flaw.

Thanks for not helping, I didn't complain anywhere in my post, but seeing this animation not working made me think about other animations maybe not working or a decrease in the smoothness of my phone.
Go to settings, access Developer options, check these: Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, Animator duration scale. These are your animations, check if some are off.
If you cant access Developer options, go to about phone and click 7 times on your Build number. After that you will be able to access Developer options.

Thanks a lot man! The Window animation scale and Transition animation scale were both off! I had Developer options enabled but I never ever messed with them... I suspect it's the battery saving feature because when it's enabled all animations are turned off so maybe it was a bug and they were not enabled after it. I didn't think about checking developer options and I started clearing all caches of chrome, home, systemui, reinstalling chrome and wasting my time.. so thank you, a G3 with no animations isn't the same

HTC 10 Unlocked Ver - System UI Tuner not working?S

I have 2 other devices running Marshmallow so I know I'm not doing this wrong. I am not able to get the System UI Tuner to enable by holding down on the settings icon in the Quick Settings tray. I read up on this and it appears this may be related to having animations disabled. Unfortunately, this is not the case for me. I've toggled Dev Options and toggled animations before and after rebooting and the icon still does not spin.
Anyone else having this problem? Thanks.

Thank you for confirming that. This is seriously upsetting. I appreciate that they wanted to strip down Sense UI but it seems like they are taking away so many bare features. It really bothers the crap out of me.

Developer Mode/Systems UI Tuner?

I need assistance with two things.
First, is there a way to remove the "Developer Mode" option from the settings menu without doing a factory reset?
Second, does anyone know how to turn on the System UI Tuner on a Verizon Note 7? I tried pulling down the notification shade and holding the gear button, but it does not work for me.
Thanks.
Monique
I don't believe there's a way to remove developer mode without doing a reset. I've never seen a device that lets you do so without a reset.
System UI Tuner is a feature only in stock Android (Nexus devices, Motorola, etc). Devices using a skin like Touchwiz, Sense, etc don't have that feature.

Swapping "Back" & "Recent Apps" buttons???

So I am a LONG time Samsung user. I've had every generation of the Note's and recently moved to the Pixel XL after returning my Note 7.
The phone is great and silky smooth so far but my biggest gripe and I know this is something I could become accustomed too if I had too but I was hoping that maybe there was an easy way to swap the placement of the two buttons.
On Samsung's the back button is on the right and the recent apps button on the left. Almost all other Androids are swapped (The Pixel is no different obviously) but trying to re-wire 6 plus years of back button pressing is going to be a lot of work and I have my fingers crossed there is a way to to do this easily within settings somewhere that I have missed.
The buttons themselves are merely icons on the screen, so swapping their positions doesn't seem unreasonable, I know you can do it with a rooted phone but I obviously don't care to void my day old phone's warranty quite yet. I'd understand if they were illuminated buttons on the bezel like the Samsung phones, but these are icons.
Anyone figure this out?
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried the app All in One Gestures? I don't have my Pixel XL yet, but I use the All in One Gestures app to swap the back and recent buttons on my Galaxy S6.
First off, unlocking the bootloader and modifying does not void the warranty on Google phones. There are no software methods included to swap the navbar icons. Only way remaining is to unlock the bootloader and look for a way to mod it.

Custom ROM only the?
Wasn't there a mod that went around with the Nexus 6P that added more options to UI Tuner for NavBar? Could this be done?
I came from Samsung also. If you decide to unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP you can use this. Works great is what I used before I went to pure Nexus. And u can flash back to stock it will stick with it. Until u do factory reset. Comes with aroma installer so you can decide what you want.

Just change them in system ui tuner.
If you don't have it. Pull down statusbar. Press the settings icon and hold it for about 5 secs.
Now you should have it in settings.
Go to navbar
There you can just pull the symbols by holding the = and pull them up or down.

Is this working for anyone ?
I mean, i get the system ui tuner, but theres no option for the nav bar.
I remember on the N6P we had to flash a zip first to make it visable.

It won't work. That option is not enabled by default. You need to decompile system ui apk and add a line of code to tuner_prefs.xml for nav bar to show up in system ui tuner.

You can do it in TWRP using the file manager in there. No root needed. Just temp boot TWRP swap the apks and reboot.

Yes, you can do it with root or booting twrp. One day Google will allow you to change this within the stock firmware.

Did you push and hold the cog wheel when you pull down the notification screen? You have to do it for a long 5 seconds, then the option for system UI should appear when you go into settings.

Yes, I did all that, but SystemUI does not have any NavBar settings, at least not in stock 7.1.1 ROM, even when rooted.

I would assume that since you are rooted, that you have TWRP installed or at least know how to do it?
I'd flash WETA Mod 3.1. https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/mod-weta-ui-mods-t3491181
Gives you a bunch of customization options including adding NavBar tuner back in the System UI. Easier I think than going in and messing with system files. At least IMO.

When you say "decompile the apk, to add aline", can you please elaborate? I have had a few notes from Samsung and can't get used to the back button on the left for my Lenovo TB-X103F tablet.

Android 10 navbar issues.

Hey guys.
So I got my OTA android 10 update today.
But after updating I have gotten a whole lot of issues with the navigation bar.
1. The new android 10 gestures does not work on 3rd party launchers, this was however expected.
2. The main problem is that I now have a space where the navbar is on the bottom of my phone, this is Hella annoying and frankly looks like crap.
For example, I am unable to strech widget all the way down, I also can not place icons where I want.
There is also an ugly overlay on the bottom when using Chrome or the playstore for example.
Is this how it is on Samsungs Android 10? Or have I just messed a setting?
I hade the One plus 7 pro running android 10 before this phone, on my one+ I had none of these issues.
(please spare me the comments about how you shouldn't update right away)
Sorry my question or answer dont help the white bar is were some apps say go full screen then closes it down have you thought about doing a back and rest on it like factory reset

Depends on the launcher you're using I suppose.
Googles Android Gestures in official Samsung Android 10 don't work well, but I'm having no troubles using the Samsung implementation of Android Gestures with Nova Launcher.

I am using Nova launcher an the navbar section is constant, even though I'm using the old gesture based navigation from android 9.
I have same problem with bar not disappearing from bottom. It is so annoying . Maybe factory reset will help but I don't want to risk, setup of whole system takes me a lot of time. Anybody knows solution for this?
I did a factory reset and now all is working well.

Its always a good idea to perform a factory reset after a major android version update.
Themes were causing this issue for me.
I set navbar ht to 5 with hex installer and it fixed the gap below the keyboard.
Luckily it worked for me out of the box. I'm not a fan as some things become more tedious with this change, but at least I didn't have any issues. Definitely prefer avoiding a reset where possible. Even just using Nova, KLWP, and themes, a reset plus having to set everything back up is annoying af.

How are you using the old gesture based navigation from Android 9 with Nova launcher? I mean do you use Navigation buttons in Samsung settings can can still use gestures? Please show me how. My swipe gestures to switch between open apps don't work anymore in Android 10 when the navigation buttons are enabled.
