Question--Aspect ratio and navbar on aosp - Xiaomi Mi 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods

I have a mi 8 on aosp android p, magisk installed.
"navigation guesture" has been installed and stock navbar was hidden.
I am wondering whether there are ways to disable stock navbar completely and force apps to run 18:9 ratio. That's really annoying to run apps with black bars..

[Q] Disable all apps fullscreen in kitkat?

Hello.
I just installed KitKat from http://forum.xda-developers.com/oma...rom-omate-truesmart-ironman-firmware-t2998434 and it looks like most apps launch in fullscreen mode and I have trouble getting the status bar back anywhere except from the default launcher.
Is there a way to disable this "fullscreen by default" setting anywhere?

No, this is changed in the ROM. We do not know how it is done, the Umeox/MediaTek changes are hidden.
The change is different from 4.2, so SwipeStatusBar very seldom work.
The workaround is rooting, Xposed, GravityBox and enabling Expanded Desktop.
Permanent status bar
I finally have a working PoC for permanently enabling the status bar in every app, and will try to build an Xposed module to control the visibility of the status bar in these smart watches. I'll be back
Edit:
I'm back.
Xposed module to enable the status bar in (most) launchers:

(N.B! Only tested on a 4.4 ROM)

Android Pie Nav Bar in One UI?

Is there any possibility to get the Android Pie navigational bar on rooted One UI?
There is a Samsung Theme, but it includes a recent s button, which is not nice to have at all.
Having the same or similar functionality would be super cool.
Also,
How do I change the look of my navbar?
I want to change it to a pixel looking navbar with the animations,
so I tested this Magisk Module; Pix3lify, but it bricked my phone.
Do you have any other options?

Vertical recents on android 10 (also possibly swipe-up nav bar)

I'm looking for a way (a rom or other method) of getting the old vertical recents. Because I really want more than 1 ****ing option when switch apps, not a full-screen display of the same ****ing app I'm trying to switch off of. (Talk about idiotic design.)
Right now I have the Floko rom, which can switch between default horizontal, 1 app-per-onscreen recents and omniswitch recents, which kinda does the more-apps-to-choose-from part, but the double-tap to switch to previous app stops working.
Btw, In android 9, I could use the QuickSwitch magisk module, where I could select the "com.android.systemui" recents provider. But this provider is not available in A10. Sad life.
Bonus question: Any rom where there nav bar auto-hides and you can just swipe up from below to show it? (This used to be a feature in LineageOS called Expanded Desktop, but it's missing from Mi Pad 4 build of Lineage.)
I mean right now my "upgrade" to A10 so far is looking more of a downgrade than anything else. Which has been a theme with all kinds of things lately. Developers forgot to develop somewhere around 2019...?

Not much help for ya dude, but just saving you time trying the following rom : no recent options or nav bar hide in carbon rom
What you want is Resurrection Remix. One of the best custom roms out there as far as customization (IMHO).

I can confirm the feature is present in RR -- you just have to activate it in Settings.

Navigation Gestures On Android 11 Miui 12.2.5

I Received Android 11 update miui 12.2.5 and since then Navigation gestures are no longer working on third party launchers like Nova. gestures are only working on System Launcher. Is there any way to use navigation gestures on Nova?

Sadly no and MIUI 12.5 also does NOT fix that
Same here since yesterday.
I use Fluid NG and work fine now.
I saw somewhere on the list of miui bugs, that this is intended behavior, and gestures will work only with default launcher....
Sorry for bumping,
Will the work if you have default system launcher but install Poco launcher?
I have done that on my mi10t lite on Android 11 MIUI but gestures do not work.
Also when I am using Poco launcher and when I switch my phone on my icons do not show for around 10 seconds is the Poco launcher from the playstore bugged or something?
It works fine on my Poco X3 NFC but it may be due to it being the default launcher on that phone

I've a mi 10t lite. I've tried a few solutions to this. You can create a very pixel like gesture bar using these gesture apps in the playstore
- X home bar
- Control gestures (so far this feels best and closest to Google experience)
But there are lots of third party apps that will give you gestures. Try a few and see what works for you.
- Download the gesture app of choice
- Set it up as you like
- Switch to gestures in settings/home screen
- Choose to hide the indicator
And you're back to swiping.
If anyone recommend another pixel like nav bar app, lemme know

Immersive Mode apps broken with latest T-Mo Android 11 Update

I have been using an app called Granular Immersive Mode that does not require root to hide the status bar on selected applications. You do need to grant permission through ADB but the instructions are fairly clear and straightforward. After the update today the app stopped working as it used to, it no longer hides the status bar, just changes color to black, I have tried other immersive mode apps and they are all working in the same fashion. This is a big bummer for me...be aware if you are running the update today and any tips or work arounds would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have this phone but Fluid NG gestures doesn't hide the navbar since android 11. I have to use a magisk module to get rid of the navbar.

LG put a backed-in option to hide the navbar now but there is no way to hide the status bar which bothers me the same.

It's because Google nuked overscan from Android with Android 11. Overscan is what allowed pretty much every third-party app in existence to "push" things like status bars and navigation bars offscreen. When asked about this, Google admitted that killing overscan is a feature, not a bug, so sadly, it's here to stay. It blows.
I loved FNG, but I've since had to revert to LG's gestures (which, to their credit, are WAY better and smoother than they were in Android 10, IMO). I can't root my phone, so it is what it is.
