Hi, I've been annoyed by how tall the navigation bar is on our screen. Fortunately it turns out the old adb trick still works in Pie. The navigation gestures are still working fine with this change.
First make sure you have the "adb" command line tool. Then type one of the following command:
A very thin bar with almost nothing displayed on it (just the top black lines of the navigation bar), a bit aggressive but my favorite: adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-90
If you want to keep the button visible, this looks fine: adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-50
To get back to the normal settings: adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
Unfortunately, changing the second parameter to a negative value does push the status bar upward, but it won't reduce its thickness (due to the screen notch).
See the attached screenshot to check the difference between 0 and -90.
Do you know of a way to swap the back and recent buttons in 10? Seems like the old way is broken.
No, I prefer to use Android 10's gestures instead. Which removes the navigation bar, similarly to what I was doing above.

Hi there,
my problem is that top part of screen (about 1,5 cm) is disable for touch.
I found out that i can change resolution of screen with terminal emulator and display-size command, but when i do that it cuts off a bottom part of screen.
(i would love to paste a photo how it looks like, but i'm a new member and i can't...)
Is there any way to do similar thing, but with cutting top part of screen ?
I have a N7(running marshmallow) setup to do screen mirroring to a TV for displaying documents in a conference room. But the N7's ratio causes wasted TV real estate because of black bars on the sides, nav bar on the bottom and status bar at the top.
In my current solution I've resized the display to 1920x1080 and changed the density so everything looks right. I've also removed the nav bar and am using pie controls. This causes a couple problems though, any action that requires a swipe down/up from the edge of the screen doesn't work(unless you are very precise with where you start your swipe), and some of my users are struggling with pie controls(they'll eventually get used to it, I think). But...
The perfect solution would be if I could have it cast only the 1920x1080 portion of the screen which would eliminate the black bars and most of the nav bar from showing on the tv. Is there anyway to modify the screen area that is being cast?
If not is there at least a fix for the swipe up/down when the display is smaller than the physical screen?
This doesn't bother me when using apps but it does when I try watching a YouTube video with the very slight corners on the edges.

Which corners are you referring to? The stock ROM is all square edges. Can you post a screenshot?
Taking a screenshot just removed the edges from it. But I'm talking about the edges of the phone screen. I'm running LiquidRemix and I swear I remember the screen corners were also rounded during the 5 minutes of running stock Pie.
Nope. Stock pie, and most roms even on pie, don't have rounded corners.
which pie rom has square corners??
try this adb command.
Code:
adb shell settings put secure sysui_rounded_size 0
if 0 doesn't work, try other values to see if it gives you what you want.
i haven't tried using this command, but i have used a similar one to get rid of the icon padding on the status bar.
Code:
adb shell settings put secure sysui_rounded_content_padding 0

Hi
I had a cracked screen before and I bought the component to fix it myself, (replacing the screen using service just cost too much in UK, I can almost buy another brand new phone) however the lower half of the screen does not work.
Is there any app that use to make my screen smaller so that I can actually use the usable section of the screen only please?
Search for Reachability and look at related apps. Those are designed to avoid the need to reach the top of your screen. Possibly they can work the opposite way too?
There's a shell command that can be used to "ignore" a part of the screen; "wm overscan". You can execute it with root privilege or from adb :
Code:
wm overscan [left],[top],[right],[bottom]
For example of you want to ignore 200 pixels from the bottom and 100 pixels from the top:
Code:
wm overscan 0,100,0,200
To cancel the effect :
Code:
wm overscan reset
By curiosity, having also faced trouble with touch screen after changing it, did you buy a screen already fixed in the frame or did you do it yourself ?
(note to galaxy note 10 users set samsung navigatiomode to gesturemode then go into arc lighting and move the buttons up vertically as they are outside of view using gesture mode will make the bar much thinner than normal, force navbar color to black then change the buttons to a line and push them to the edge, this will hide the chin by causing an illusion of the button being closer to the edge than it actually is, the upside to this is that you both get gesturebased navigation and tapbased, by forcing button size it's also relatively easy to hit the buttons)

Full Description:
Arc Lighting Navigation Bar is the most advanced custom navigationbar on the market, you can do everything from setting a custom icon per button coloring it after your current wallpaper or app you use or move the buttons up and down both inside and outside of layers, you can apply a colored layer behind each button individually and you can curve each corner of that layer individually you can also set an outline around each layer invidually and you can curve each corner individually aswell this outline can ofcourse change color after your wallpaper or app you're using and you can ofcourse adjust transparency and color lightness as with all other layers, you can force a custom tapspace for each button individually if you feel it's too small for your finger just increase the space and it will be much easier to tap the button, you can set the each individual layer such as the navigationbar or preset icon to change color after the app you're using or after the wallpaper you have both on the homescreen and inside an app, if you prefer to have the wallpaper color even inside the app you're using you can do that too you can also adjust transparency and color lightness if you prefer a darker or lighter color, you can apply an outline to each colored layer individually you can also curve each corner of this outline individually as well as the layer itself, arc lighting custom navigationbar also features modes that you can create and delete as you wish, you can set a custom configuration for how the bar should look and behave inside an app you can set a custom configuration for how the bar should look and behave inside an app in landscape and in portrait, you can do the same on the homescreen both in landscape and in portrait, arc lighting navigationbar comes with various presets such as pc mode which is designed for mouse and keyboard use and a higher dpi setting simply edit only landscape with this mode and have a pc ui, only enable when in landscape, arc lighting navigationbar also features a lighting system that let's you make each button glow individually you can also adjust the glow or turn it off all together, you can have the home button and or back button and or recent apps button pulse when charging, you can use each button individually as a battery indicator and make them change color depending on your charge, you get all this and much more in the most advanced navigationbar app on the market, arc lighting navbarigationbar also comes with various system modes, if you want the best experience choose advanced mode or rootmode, download the simple to use enabler software to give your device the neccessary permissions for advanced mode so you don't have to mess with adb, if you don't want to do this simply choose simple mode this is slightly more limited than advanced more as it will run ontop of your current navigationbar and it doesn't support transparency.
Features:
- Advanced color system with multiple layers of colors that can be enabled or disabled with adjustable transparency or color lightness and or change depending on wallpaper or app.
- Tap Space customization to adjust how big or small you want the Tap Space to be (smaller is better for a mouse and bigger is better for a finger)

- Full support for icon packs per icon and preset white or wallpaper/app colored icons with support for glow and lighting indicators

i wanted to update everyone on what happened, the app simply died because the developer i worked with simply vanished, i wanted to post this as many of you have noticed i haven't sent out free codes as i should to xda members, my app arc lighting which i put years of my life in including money died, the person i worked with just disappeared, i am not accusing him he said he had corona so i am trying not to think anything i tried to be considerate but i asked whats been happening, i paid money last year to make changes to the app changes which haven't been made and it ended up just dying because it's broken
the last few days i received strange emails from someone claiming they have the sourcecode for something and wanting to sell it to me but they never said for what so i asked what this was about they refused and eventually when i said i'm not interested i received this

i've had contacts with admins on this website who promoted my app, and some people have helped me in the past i wonder if anyone can help me as i am clueless on what to do, the developer i did work with simply is missing, and i don't believe he would do anything to me, i know two people who have the sourcecode, and i do trust them so i don't really know whats happening, i also have no idea why anyone would even want the sourcecode, the functionality is 5% of competing apps that does exactly the same thing, what people seem to like is my ui design and that can easily be copied.
