Is there any mod or anyone who can develop oneplus gestures available for 5t or 6 for lg v30 instead of navbar?
Before anyone suggest xda gestures app i don't want that...! Purely gestures on lg stock firmware?
there is a small program - navigation gestures.
available at playstore. it simulates the gesture control with swipes, but has some drawbacks i couldn't fix, so decided to uninstall it. but you may try if it fits to you.
drawback?

I also tried Navigation Gestures (even bought it) but switched to Fluid Navigation, I feel it works better but still not as well as my former OP6 or iPhone but well enough to keep on my V30.
Theres a line at the bottom, when i type something often tapping on this line and phone goes to home screen
no other way

In this (Fluid NG) app you can set the lowest sensitivity. I think it might help.

I've been using this app for a while with no issues
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures&hl=en_US
I also use a substratum layer to set my nav bar to 0 height so I don't have to use some weird work around to hide the nav bar. It's been a good combo for me

That will work. But I'd rather just get rid of the nav bar completely. When I used the app to hide it, the nav bar would sometimes come back

I think stock navigation bar is better than OnePlus gestures and fluid navigation. I tried both and believe me my hands get so tired of swiping up and down. Buttons are good

Is there a way to permanently disable navigation bar and use swipe gestures instead? (I don't mean hide the navbar, because it appears when you try to use swipe gestures). I would greatly appreciate if anyone would suggest a way!

Not sure which swipe gestures you refer to - swipe up?
After reading this post, I tried Pie but didn't care for how fiddly it was trying to hit the back icon.
So then I found this and am very happy with it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures. This, coupled with BX Actions' 'control mode' means Bixby is now my hardware back button (double tap is last app, long press is recents) and Edge Gestures gives me swipe for back.

Im talking about disabling navbar, like in immersive mode and using swipe gestures in the area where the bar was. I did that on my Pixel using Swipe Navigation (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation)
Swiping up from the bottom center acts as home; swiping up from left corner acts as back; swiping up from right corner up acts as recents
EDIT: Something like home gesture on the iPhone X

Well, I tried going into Immersive mode thats built in and navbar does disappears but then reappears with every swipe gesture which ruins the point
Is there a way to disable the navbar and not just hide it? I want to be able to use gestures without having the navbar appearing when I swipe from the bottom.

Clearly not what he's looking for. Currently there's no option to disable it altogether globally. Only option to hide it on a per app basis, which not all apps support.

I was looking for a way to completely disable it but I don't think it's possible without root. I enabled expended mode via ADB but my ultimate goal was to not make it appear when I scroll up from the bottom so I can use apps such as all in one gesture
There are some ways, but i guess they all need root. there is an xposed module : xposed edge pro, that can remove the navbar. or you can change the build.prop hw.mainkeys=1
i did that but the thing is when you completely remove the navbar every app that is not set to 18:9 scaling will not load. just give a black screen. that is not a problem as you can just switch all apps to 18:9 scaling in settings. except some few system dialogs that will not show anymore like the longpress menu when e.g. clicking on a link in chrome or on a message to copy it.
iv been on that issue for a long time now. it is definitely related with completely removing the navbar as the system then does not scale some screens accordingly anymore.
i tried the build.prop, whereas there are more settings related with the screen and ratio (ro.lge.app_scaling=1) (ro.lge.aspect.ratio=18:9) and (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1) i dont know what the first two settings really do but i tried different settings
then there is the possibility via the xposed edge app, which does not change the build.prop. so it hast to change it in some other way, i dont know.
and i found a thread to change scaling via the service menu *#546368#*930# -svc menu -force long display mode -on from this thread.
ive tried all different settings combined in different ways and was not able to remove the navbar without that problem.
if anybody has more knowledge i would be glad to have some help
cheers DK

Agreed. I had an issue with the nav bar NOT appearing when I wanted. It kept disappearing in my corporate email and I had to force it up from the bottom to appear. I was puzzled, why is this happening only with this app? I finally figured out how to go into the nav bar settings and disable that for that app. For some reason that app (called Nine) was enabled to hide the nav bar.
I have the opposite problem. Except for when I'm watching videos, I do want to see the nav bar. This screen is tall enough that I don't need a totally "immersive" experience just reading email or looking at news articles.
And I use Nova launcher, of course. Who uses stock launcher?
There's this guide for a galaxy S8 but I haven't gotten it to work on my V30. I don't know if APKs are device specific or should work for all android devices. I have also been looking for a way to disable my nav bar.

Nobody. Except launchers still have nothing to do with what OP was looking for. I switch between Nova and action launcher and would recommend them to anyone not using as well, just baffled that he asked how to disable navbar entirely and the answer was install Nova...followed by the assertion that he needs to be told this even though its not what he asked and there was nothing to suggest he's not already using a 3rd party launcher

Yeah didn't work for me either. I was hoping APKs were universal to Android.
It seems like there are ways to disable the nav bar without rooting the phone but not yet for the V30. I saw some forums on the OnPlus 5T mentioning some apps that would do it but they didn't exist in my play store for some reason

You can allow specific apps to hide the navbar, or there is a universal as well. It can be found in setting/display/Home Touch Buttons

I found how to hide the nav bar for specific apps months ago (and indeed have all of the available apps flicked to off), but I cannot find the universal switch anywhere. Where exactly is it?
Under Settings/Display/Home Touch Buttons, I only see three options: Button combination, Color, and Hide Home Touch Buttons.
The Hide Home Touch Buttons screen is the one I found months ago, but I don't see a universal switch there.
Thanks.

For me, when I go to Home Touch Buttons in settings and click "Hide Home Touch Buttons" it gives me a list for every app where I can toggle to hide the home buttons. There's also a toggle option at the top of this page that says "Lock/hide icon" -- that's the universal button.
Though this doesn't hide the home buttons on the home screen for me. Does it hide them on the home screen for anyone else? I can't figure out how to do that and my Nova launcher prime doesn't have the option.

Thought that was just the icon that shows up on the left-hand side of the nav bar when in an app where the nav bar can be hidden.
That's not a universal on/off switch for the nav bar system-wide, is it?

Ohhh I think you're right. I guess I don't know where the universal button is either.
I was annoyed by nova (and other) launchers delaying the launch of an app. There was a noticeable delay whenever I'd launch from the home screen.
For those that want their phone lightning fast, but also want a better launcher than the pixel launcher, here is an xposed mod that fixes it. The thread explains the how and why, but I assure you my phone has never been so fast.
Enjoy.

It's subtle. I use a swipe launcher and when I'd use the pixel launcher with it, the apps from the pixel launcher ran immediately and the apps from the swipe launcher delayed, or vice versa. I started messing with it and found it somehow related to the home screen. It also exhibits when running shortcuts.
So I ran into this - (pretty sweet nav bar replacement) https://www.xda-developers.com/navigation-gestures-update-app-launch-android-p/
and the author says if you run into delays use thatx xposed module. I did and all the delays were eliminated.
I'm not on something - you might not notice it until it's gone. Unless you don't run xposed, then maybe it's more work. Give it a try... or don't. Made a difference for me.

Everywhere launcher is a gesture based navigator that uses the accessibility service to bypass the 5 sec delay. Navigation gestures (sweet navbar replacement) also bypasses the delay.
Beyond that have no idea.

Edge gestures is pretty nice. Way simpler than everywhere launcher. I set left to home, right to back, and up to recents.
I launch from the launcher, so no delays regardless. I went to a completely launcher only solution when I went to pie, as no xposed.

Looks like you find a sweet spot. After I contacted Edge Gestures Dev I downloaded Navigation Geatures app and after setting it I can find it is convenient and works great with no delay as you mention before. Now my Galaxy S8 with Renovate Ice ROM, Substratum overlays and a few additional mods it's a flagship killer ?

Sweet . I'm hiding my nav bar completely using navigation gestures (pill is hidden too) and using Edge gestures as my nav. Swipe right for home, swipe left for back (hold for previous app), up for home (hold for recents).
So nice to have 0 real estate for nav.
Cheers :good:

Since available I'm on permanent immersive mode. In RICE I have 0px for navigation bar height too. Also for about 3 years I'd prefer only gestures navigation method. Since I switched back from iOS (almost 5 years) and BB10 OS (dead) I can't imagine using my phone without gestures. Of course as a die hard Blackberry user I had a never ending ROTFL when Apple "reinvented" gestures navigation for iPhone X. My phone needs to be MINE!

I guess my name is "no one" then ... I'm perfectly happy with the button layout the way it is
But I do get it if someone wants it reversed ... I for one would love the option to assign my navbar buttons with different actions, for example longpress Home for screenshot like on my other devices

It makes no sense. Most people are right-handed, so why put the button that gets used more often (Back) in a less accessible position than the one that hardly ever gets used (Recent apps)? Maybe take a hint from Samsung (the most popular Android phone maker) and keep the Back button on the right.

Personal preference. I'm totally with you on giving users the option, but I personally use the recents button more often and always hated the placement on Samsung phones.

"the one that hardly gets used" - huh? I use the Recents button all the time before turning off the screen. I don't believe in having apps linger there that I only use once a week or even less often, so my Recents get cleared all the time. Plus while I am righthanded I hold my phone with the left hand and navigate/tap with my right ... I've never been someone to use a phone with only 1 hand.
And like Velcorn said - personal preference. Users should have the option to set it up the way they like it best, not have Google (or other OEMs) dictate what they have to like.

I completely agree that it should be an option. But if they're not going to provide an option, putting it on the right makes more sense.
Also, you know clearing your recents gives you no performance improvement, right? Android could have completely killed an app weeks ago and its most recent snapshot could still show up there.
Gesture Navigation for the WIN!!!!!

I don't care, I don't want the clutter in my recents. It's not so much about performance but about tidyness
I am right handed and use my P6 with my left hand. I use a wallet case on my devices with my index finger wedged behind the internal case. The thumb wins.
I always clear my recent, I don't care if you call it OCD or not.

It makes no sense. Most people are right-handed, so why put the button that gets used more often (Back) in a less accessible position than the one that hardly ever gets used (Recent apps)? Maybe take a hint from Samsung (the most popular Android phone maker) and keep the Back button on the right.

My LG phones let me not just switch their order but whether they were outlines or filled in, too.

Personal preference. I'm totally with you on giving users the option, but I personally use the recents button more often and always hated the placement on Samsung phones.
I wish I could use FNG with A12 gestures, but I'm still stuck having the useless bottom bar...

I use FNG and have for a while now. Of course it takes root to get rid of the navbar.
Hi,
is there a way to get rid of the Navigation Line at the bottom of the Screen when using gesture mode? Asus unfortunatly doesnt give the option like Samsung for example to hide it.
im a noob and dont know if theme modification is a thing at all or if i must switch completely to a different OS
thank you very much!

unfortunately it is not possible to remove the pill by making Asus native gestures work. What is possible is to remove the pill (using the entire screen) and use gestures from third-party applications. For me it is the best option. root is required

On March 31, Asus released an update (WW-33.0804.2060.113) that allows you to hide the navigation bar. There's a new learning curve when navigating with gestures without the navigation bar, and after a month like that, I don't miss the navigation bar.

Using Nova, this comes with bugs. Sometimes clicking on apps in the dock, they're unresponsive

Buggy navigation pill swipe from home on latest update
So, a week or so ago I've been forced to install an OTA update (despite disabling these in settings, because see this thread), and now my navigation is screwed up. Swiping right on the pill from any regular app correctly switches to the previous...

I would love to gen on some brainstorming for a fix, it feels absolutely terrible.
