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.

You're right again ! Man, I'm so out of it. Since owning the pixel I haven't flashed / rooted / modified anything :laugh:
Thanks so much for your help !
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.
MonarchX said:
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.
Wait I can install TWR P without having unlock Bootloader?

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.
I have held the cog for 5 seconds to reveal the "system ui tuner" category. However, nav bar isn't shown.
Something like was is shown here? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184207

I use "Custom Navigation Bar" app and toggle the switch with one tap. https://play.google.com/store/apps/....systemuituner&rdid=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner
I never thought that it would be this much of a pain to disable the sodding on screen buttons on the Pixel. This thing alone is making the otherwise excellent experience of it rather moot. I can't stand this thing.
I have tried the GMD Auto Hide soft keys app, but it doesn't work on 7.1.1. Then I tried the All In One Gesture app, it did hide the on screen buttons under some immersive modes but then there is no proper Pie like control in that app, making the point moot for me. Then I found LMT, which gives back Pie but no way to hide the on screen buttons. I have given up at this point.
So is there a way? Or do I have to wait until Xposed is released for 7.1.1 and then use the Gravity Box's Pie Control?
WETA ROM. You can choose no nav bar during install, and then use LMT.
^^^
Weta ROM, DU ROM.
GMD does work on 7.1.1. However, many GMD users like me abandoned it for one reason or another. One, the keyboard has to regain focus. Two, it doesn't work in some apps. Three, in some apps, it simply hides the nav buttons, but the bottom row blank, still wasting a row of space.
Thanks guys but I really want to stay with the stock ROM. I guess waiting is the only option now.

I'm in the same boat I want to get rid of the hideous soft keys. The build.prop suggestion from the Nexus line did not work ? some developer please help us!
The moment Xposed is available I'm gonna install the GravityBox and then use that Pie Control, which will make the soft keys go away for good. But till then no option it seems, or probably with the help of 2 apps.

I can see someone's reluctance. Let's say it only works "half-way", the nav buttons are removed, and he gets errors in an app. Without nav buttons, he can't get back to the home screen to revert his changes. That may be the main reason I activated "OK Google" so I can still run apps by voice when I play around with the nav bar.

Just did the build.prop edit, it did the job fine of making the on screen keys disappear, LMT worked fine too, but there are just too many system FC messages! Not possible to use as it is.

Are the FC messages from disabling the nav bar or from the LMT. Sorry if I misunderstood you, I'm just trying to get clarity.

Have to be from the missing nav bar because apps look for interactions from those buttons. There has to be a graceful error trapping logic to handle the disappeared buttons. In other words, you can't simply yank them.

Nah for that missing nav bar or whatever the hell its called. Adding that line is the reason, not LMT I am sure. But you could try that and see whether the same is happening to as well or not.
I can't wait for Xposed to release for 7.1.1. I don't know whether burn in already happened or not, but mental burn in for me definitely happened in these short three days of usage, other than the fact its an incredibly stupid thing to have on a phone.

If you "can't take the chance of having a bootlooping phone", then you shouldn't be making ANY modifications to your phone. Even if you're using mods that are proven to work, what happens if you make a typo? You're taking the chance of having a bootlooping phone.

Thanks for confirming it's not LMT.
Don't agree with you about the latter part. I have been modifying stuffs on all phones I use, simple stuffs, installing this and that Xposed module, testing them, never once I had to face any boot looping issue, ever. Never did edit anything build.prop though.
Thanks for your concern though.
Hi to all!
I'm experiencing a really strange thing when try to set an HOME gesture with some of most famous apps for that purpose, like ALL IN ONE GESTURES, EDGE GESTURES and similar.
If I set recent apps and back gesture, they work in every way I set them...but if I try to set ANY KIND of gesture for returning to home... nothing happens.
The command work properly (I feel the haptic vibration, or alinz, that starts when a command is performed), but the gesture won't work in the end...
Anyone noticed that too? Maybe there's something I missed for make them work?
I use swipe up from bottom border and it works for me. I use aio.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk
I didn't find the cause yet but it is also happening to me. If I reboot the phone the home gesture starts to work fine, it only breaks if I re-enabled the nav bar + disable immersive mode using their quick tiles provided by joneplustools and systemuituner. The easiest solution is to reboot the phone.
Well but are you rooted?
Because I can disable navbar but on home screen it'll be always there, so I can't use bottom gestures, only edge...

Without root the navbar always shows if you swipe from the bottom. You could try a 0px navbar by I think it doesn't work in OOS at the moment.

I already have the 0pt navbar and used successfully on S8 but with OnePlus it just don't works, I suppose because the navbar is named "drawable" in OnePlus internals while in APK it's "navbar", at least I've read it on multiple sources...

Yeah that must be the reason.
If you don't want to root right now your solution is to use a gesture app like edge gestures or swipe navigation because you can use gestures from the right/left edge so you activate the navbar less often.
It's not ideal but is has one advantage; for example when I want to close a game using the back button, the gesture sometimes is not recognized and I have to activate the navbar using the quick setting and that sometimes breaks the home gesture like we discussed yesterday so I have to reboot the phone sometimes. You only have to swipe from the bottom and it's all fine.

According to my experience this kind of problem is most likely caused by a third party app, possibly an xposed module or some half baked apk. Privately exchange a list of your installed apps, compare and concentrate on the more dubious apps you have in common and you may find your culprit there.

Yeah that's the main gripe. I suppose you are concerned about burn-in.
I don't know if stock OOS Oreo will fix that. Maybe some Dev can mod the navbar file as I was done with the old filetype as in the Galaxy S8.
I also can tell you that on LiquidRemix 8.0 ( it's on a Telegram group as is in testing stage ) you could hide the navbar completely without root but I understand that you don't want to change the rom and right now is has bugs so is better to stay in Oxygen.
Right now I'm using stock OOS 4.7.4 with root and to update is super easy, just download and flash the full zip, flash your kernel + magisk/superSu after and it's done.
I don't know if you care about Android Pay...

I can tell you that on a fresh installed OOS 4.7.4 without third party apps it doesn't work. The problem is that on Oxygen the navbar has another name in system so that mod doesn't work.
No I don't care about it because there's no need for it now, at least for me.
I've always rooted phones, no problems with that, it's just that I don't feel the need to do it with 5T since is nearly stock and good to run stock "as is"...
I had an iPhone for a few years and the pixel brought me back. The progress android has made has been phenomenal but I see a few things missing that used to be here before. Honestly I think I'm overlooking it but who knows.
FYI I have an unlocked bootloader and am running magisk running stock rom and kernel.
1. I used to love my Note 1's navbar with the search and menu button in the navbar. I remember xposed being able to do it but the modules haven't been updated and just cause a bootloop on the pixel. The customnavbar by paphonb doesn't allow you to have the menu button on the bar. Is there a way to make this work with oreo?
2. What happened to the text notifications? I replaced Google's main text app with Textra but I recall there being custom notifications and ringers all being in the contacts app.
3. What happened to changing the apps notification sound? Back then it was really easy to set the sound of the apps but I hardly see that feature.
4. Can you change the lockscreen clock font? I changed my system font and the clock has a question mark where the colon used to be. I know I could find another font but I really like this one.
5. How do you get in and out of the phone quickly? I find myself double tapping on the display and most of the time it works. Is there a better way?
Note: I saw some of these tweaks were on substratum but I couldn't get it to work for me. I tried to use substratum but the themes won't take because I'm on stock or because I don't know what I'm doing. I would like a clean lockscreen or one where I could swipe to the left or right and start recording. I forget the name but there used to be an app that customized the lockscreen.
If anyone could help me figure out Oreo I would greatly appreciate it!

The font fix is exactly what I needed. I hated that square or question mark for the colon!
The custom nav bar app is the one I was talking about by php. I don't see a way to add the menu button to the nav bar on that app but I'll look and confirm.
I still use my iPhone silicone cases for this phone so the fingerprint won't work. That's disappointing I thought there might be a quicker way.

So this adds the button that looks like the menu but it doesn't function like the menu at all. It disappears and I think it has to do with the 66 being set as the code. I don't think that's the right code for the menu button to actually work. I took a screenshot.
Either way I'm giving up for now
Can anyone confirm if you use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar that you can keep the gestures but remove the nav bar etc completely?
Download a app called Pie Controls off the app store. I have been using it on my Pixel 2XL since I bought it and will be one of the many apps that will be installed first when I get home to do some work.
You can always try,

I have a OP6 and love the gestures so if this hides the nav bar it's a no brainer for me, don't suppose you could post a screenshot showing how it looks?
I am wondering if this is a way to bring back to old style nav bars? Used to be able to add the line to the build prop then reboot and bam they were there. Dont understand why Google let you adjust the notch but not the navbar? It was pretty simple leave the line of code in that allows you to swap.
also curious if you can remove the pill completely in favor of swipe gestures, oneplus gestures are great, but would be better if the pixel 3xl supports this natively, if not, how can we hide the pill?

Have you tried Settings>System>Gestures and turning off "Swipe Up On Home Button"?

I would say that you are correct. I was comparing my 3 XL to my friends 2 yesterday and while both have Pie installed only he had that option to get the old navigation buttons back.
I really dislike these gestures, if anyone has run across an app or a setting to get the old three button navigation bar back please let me know. I haven't found much in my searching.
can we bring up the old nav bar yet ?
not a fan of gestures
I'm going to go against the grain: I think I *like* the new gestures instead of nav bar. I will admit I would significantly prefer a hardware home button, but in lieu of that, the gestures are fine. I've switched my 2 XL, for example, over to the new gesture system. To each their own -- if you don't like it, you just don't like it. But I would suggest trying it for a week or two.

From reviews I've heard the P3 has the option to bring back the old nav bar and the 3XL doesn't. Weird. I should be getting both of them in a few hours so i'll check out the difference.
