Navigation buttons - Honor 7X Questions & Answers

I am new to honor 7x from MI A1. I feel honor 7x navigation buttons are compact and pressed to the middle. I think its designed for 5 buttons. It's painful to my thumb to use..
Can we modify the soft keys to 3 with much space between them?
Thanks.

You can use 4 in settings can you adjust that

I think the buttons can be modifi3d through a 3rd party app by giving accessibility permissions.. Try it..

Go into google playstore and go bonkers trying one's which suit you the best..
Search options are available literally everywhere by using keywords.. Like buttons or navigation buttons etc

The Main Question Is...
Are You Rooted..?
If you are.. then you have a Plethora of choices.
If you are still stock.. you have Zero.. outside of the 4 choices ( under nav keys in settings) the 7X affords you.

Install a custom ROM lol

Here's how I have my phone set up.
I set the navbar height to zero and enabled pie controls. By default, the navbar keys are pre-installed in pie, and you can reorder them however you want.
Then you can set up to 10 targets on it, with the option to long press (you set the duration ~ I have five targets plus long press on 3 of them).
Getting rid of navbar gives you more screen real estate. More screen is good. Plus it gets rid of that pesky line.
I also set my dock to auto hide after two seconds. I know that it's on the bottom. I swipe up and it appears. I don't need to see it on every homescreen. Hey! More real estate!
Thank you but I really dont like swiping around whole screen to see keys.
I did that with some xposed module, I think it was gravitybox. I've changed the order of the buttons.

Okay, it was just a suggestion.

[Q] Home button sensitivity -> spacebar :(

Is there any way to reduce the sensitivity of the home button?
I cant compose a single email without accidentally hitting the damn thing, which is getting very frustrating.
I'm in the same boat... without the swipe capability, typing would be tough...I might reroute the home action to a different key.

Urgh! I might try a swipe keyboard and see if that helps, because this is driving me nuts.
Previous phones had physical home buttons, so never had the problem before.
I have resorted to typing in landscape mode, but that cuts off the message thread in email/sms/whatsapp, and the labels in most web forms.
I am suprised there are not more people reporting this issue.

Having even come from phones with soft home keys, this is an issue for me, as well...You're not alone :good:
If space bar and home button are too close together, possibly adjusting keyboard height may help. Go to Apps/Settings/Language & Input/ASUS Keyboard/Preferences/Adjust keyboard height. Also ASUS Keyboard has a feature like swype. To do this just enable 'trace input' in the same path as above.

Setting the keyboard height to the higher setting helped a little. Still definitely an issue. Basically my only issue with this fone... I've KIND OF gotten used to it, but it still happens daily.. just not as bad as before..

I rarely run into this problem using the Google keyboard since there is a row of quarter inch of space between the bottom edge of the space bar and home key.

Oh thank { deity }!
Yes that makes all the difference.
Adjusting the ASUS keyboard height may well have the same effect, but i'll stick with Google Keyboard for now.
It annoyed me and I adjusted SwiftKey height and now no issue.

Haha, I'm just using an Xposed module to remap the homekey to a double-tap gesture. I really like the stock keyboard.

How did you do that? Care to share? The lack of a physical home key and hitting home by mistake while typing is the thing stopping me from buying this phone. I have the same problem on my Asus Fonepad 7
If you have xposed, activating the soft nav keys (via GravityboxLP) is a good way to avoid this frustrating problem. You can also set expanded desktop mode so that you can then hide the soft keys at will.
There was also a flashable zip to enable softkeys in the Themes & Apps Section

In just using a module called xposed additions.
HA! i thought im the only one having problem with this friggin space and home issue... i read something about disabling home button while keyboard is on, i think that would be great...
Use swiftkey with arrow keys enabled

Switch soft buttons?

Hi to everybody, how Can i switch soft buttons?
For example set back button on right?
Thank you
You'll need to root and install Xposed and the Gravity Box module.
I dont see why phone makers these days domt have that integrated, i mean if your gonna go with softkeys instead of the keys beimg on the device atleast make it so we can customize, specially google why dont they just add it as an android feature.

I personally don't use that, I don't like the Samsung layout of having the recent button on the right, it just feels off.
Few devices actually come with the option of swapping the back and recent buttons i assumed the Z Play did too.
I miss that!! few phones I've had gave that option I prefer back button on the right was the first thing I checked in settings even developer options as I've found it in there before , ?

Lg phones and oneplus has got this feature... It's frustrating this because i prefer the back button on right side
The back button is an arrow (or triangle) pointing left. Your VCR rewind button was on the left. Your mp3 player's restart/previous track was on the left. Your web browser back button is on the left. Why should your smartphone be any different?

Heh heh. It's so nice being back on a proper button layout with the MZP!
This is the main reason I root my Moto's, gravity box, swap back and recents, along with delete clock and change battery icon.
As for the layout, since GB 2.3.4 with my Sony Ericsson Arc, my back button was on the Right, my Samsung S3 & Note 3/Note 10.1 was the same, & Moto Nexus 6/X Pure/Z Play All had to follow.
For any OG Android user, the back button was on the Right, and will always be on the Right. And I use it more than the recents so it makes one hand usage more natural. Just my ¢.02

Lol, would be nice to have the option for those who like it. I like back on the left for one handed use, as it's easier for me to reach than tucking my thumb up hard right.
Just goes to show, different strokes for different folks!

Fluid NG

So how is this app working out for you on the enormous screen of the 10 plus?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
Well, I used in my note 8, and it was a little inconsistent, sometimes it responded well, others worked, but without the wave animation, now with this note10, on pie, I dont know
Samsung have a better gestures solution called 'One hand +', many more gestures, greater customisation.
I don't mean to be patronising, but if you haven't tried it yet, I reccomend that you do.
FNG works perfectly

I'd agree but the only negative with One handed + is there are no bottom toggles.
I have tried a couple of hybrid approaches
1 - Standard samsung gestures on and one handed operation plus on for the back gestures (quick swipe) and app switcher (long swipe)
2 - Standard samsung gestures on and Fluid NG too (Using just fluid NG give FPS placement issues) gives me long swipe up for app switcher and swipe from side for back gesture. I switch off the quick swipe up as the standard swipe up covers it

You do know that you can place the handles(active area) of 'One Hand +' at any height on the screen, even practically 'fullscreen' by increasing its length, and that 'right' and 'left' handles can be configured independently of each other?
I also use a 'hybrid' system of gestures, 'Nova Launcher Prime' being the other. With these 2, I can control practically every aspect of my phone with gestures alone.
But heyho, whatever works for you, works.

Sure, but you have 'Recent', 'Home' and 'Back' gestures at the bottom anyway.

Personally I do not like how Samsung did these, e.g. having to swipe up from the left or right side. Much prefer the iphone, pixel, Huawei approach. YMMV

I don't use any of those brands, so can't really comment, I'm not discounting them per se, just that I've never used them.
The good thing about all this is that we get choices, win win for the end user.

Here is a great article on it... using the palm swipe looks like it will solve your problem. Check out scroll capture also, that is cool.

No, they have the palm swipe only as far as I know, although you have to activate it in settings first, for it to work... you can try an app to create a macro, (great feedback in the comments ,but one them says the phone needs to be rooted which may or may not be) based on whatever you want as shown in this video.... not English, in Hindi, but you can make out the details and process from the visuals.
If all else fails, the power and volume rocker low buttons pressed the same time will take a screen shot by default.

Where i can find long press on one hand ?
just my 2 cents; i use good lock and the module navstar. i've put in 2 extra icons in the nav bar (originally has 3: back, home and apps). the other 2 to the left side that have been added are power off and screenshot.

Men thank so much for this tips
From my end, I use the button mapper and set up volume down long press as screenshot. I tried with one hand gestures and somehow, I prefer physical button. Would love to use bixby routine instead but couldn't find a way to screenshot.
Tap tap is my go to. Simply double tap the back of the phone and bam!
Lol I always turn my phone sideways so I can do the volume down & power button press two handed!
