Not sure when this started, but if a program has buttons near the bottom of the screen, in portrait or landscape, they're partially covered at the moment by the softkeys bar - the bar that says Calendar + Contacts eg....
It's really making my MySportTraining in particular a ***** to use, coz it's tabs are all at the bottom. Any thoughts?
I'm using full android 5.1 (2.2) Is there a way to hide the black bar below the screen (the one with triangle, circle and square shaped buttons)?
I am running a great custom ROM in PN, just did a clean flash, and setting different wallpapers, the Nav Bar at the bottom, keeps a black rectangle across the whole bottom of the screen in the Navbar area, the wallpaper will not go below it.
I want my wallpaper to go all the way to the bottom. Are there options or something I'm missing ?
I think i'm spoiled by custom roms.
Is there an easy way to show the battery percentage in the status bar at the top of the screen? (i can't remember if this is called status bar or notification bar but its where the clock and notification icons show up)
Yes, pull down notification tray and long click (or press several clicks - can't remember) on settings icon. It will add system ui tuner to your settings menu. There you can add battery percentage icon to inside the battery icon
Yes. Pull down quick settings and hold the settings icon for a few seconds then release it. If you scroll down to the bottom of your settings page you should now have a section named 'System UI Tuner' where you can do this.
What an awesome tip! I had no idea about "System UI Tuner". Thanks guys!
Thanks for this tip ....
On Oreo this option is also found under battery settings.
On Nougat battery text was inside the icon, on Oreo it's on the left side and to my eye a bit bigger than clock. I couldn't stand this design flaw, but fortunately Gravity box can fix it and show text inside the icon again or on the right side and with smaller font.
Is there any way to make the gestures navigation bar background transparent in all apps without completely hiding it or having to swipe up first to use it(Fullscreen)? It's a little awkward as that small black/white slit on the bottom which doesn't look symmetrical with the device's rounded corners
I don't think so, no.
