I did try that app but it does not work properly with multiple user profiles.

Just tried it, and on cleanroom 1.3, the nav bar vanished completely. No way to restore with without rebooting into safe mode and uninstalling it.

CM10.2 Kanged rom has this feature in there as well as lots of others like the AppBar/Ribbon support, Halo Notifications, Center Clock, transparent bars, Bar colors and tweaks, theme support, AOKP keyboard, etc.
I've been using it for a few days and feels great. I'm not sure if I supports tablet mode, but I'm trying to get used to the stock UI on a tablet.

If you have root, my app can hide/show navigation bar without reboot - GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys

I have already tried that app and it was already mentioned in this thread as well. The app is very buggy and does not work well with multiple user profiles. Start on boot does not work either. I had sent an email through Play Store but never received any acknowledgement.

You can edit the DPI following these instuctions.

:silly: I replied in wrong thread. Anyway I just got NN7 and I'm testing it. I will check multiple accounts problem, but I cannot reproduce autostart on boot problem on any of my devices including NN7. On topic: PA rom allows to change navigation bar size or you can change device dpi as already suggested.

No worries. I think someone else said that set-on-boot does not work either. It could be related to multiple-user issue with my device.

Just got it this morning, was a little worried with everyone whining about the status bar but I'm satisfied with it.

Hmmm, so the icons have changed? I see urs above and look different. Also seems u may be a lefty. Kinda like the current design.

Noticed it a has a new cool feature to hide Navigation bar when you open an app and swipe up when you need it. When you open an app you'll see a dot on the lower left corner that activates or deactivate it. This is extremely cool!!
Not all Apps will have it activated the first time opened but there will a Tap here option to hide it.

This update sucks. Navbar apps doesn't work as well keeping it black.

Noticed it added a Bixby voice volume option with the rest of the volume options.

Which apps with black Navbar? No issues here yet.

looks really ugly in certain apps now. snapchat for example puts the nav bar down there when it didnt have it before.
Also Bxactions is no longer hijacking the bixy button, it tries to start the bixby setup. guess i need to wait for dev to update it

I noticed the same thing. I contacted the developer through the Playstore and he says he is aware of it, and will try a "workaround". I really hope he is able to fix it. I really liked having the button mapped to the flashlight. I dont understand why Samsung is trying to cram Bixby down our throats. Its garbage, and if they would just allow people to remap it to whatever they want that would be a cool selling point. A fully customizable hardware button? That would be cool.

Not having a black nav bar is driving me nuts. Has anyone found a work around for this? I know you can hide the nav bar completely but have to slide it up Everytime to use it

Yes that's the problem. They removed the black option so if you still have black now after the update don't even mess with the color options. If you select any of the new colors there's no going back to black!

Icons haven't changed, I'm using an overlay from here. You can also make the invisible or lots of options.

This is gonna sound insane I already know. I've never been anything remotely close to the tinfoil hat types. I did my update yesterday and I use my Google maps all day long. I swear to you all that while me and my wife were talking, the phone kept picking up parts of our conversation like we did a voice command. That **** spooked me. Anybody had this happen yet?

Not sure what you are trying to show with that picture.
Screen rotation is in the notification, maybe on the second page, you may need to tap the pencil and edit but it's not in the navigation bar.

Disable auto rotation in the display settings and then the force rotation button will show on the nav bar

Installing some application that force immersive mode /full screen/hide navigation bar, turn back setting as default. And Auto rotation in navigator bar showing again.

Finally, Right Aligned Clock on Pie (no-root)

Hi there,
So now there is finally a way to have right-aligned clock on Pie! This has bugged me first time I booted on the new OS, having the clock left-handed was a bummer to me, all these years looking on the top-right corner of my phone on every single phone I had... Well now there's a way to change this without root!
EDIT: Install Good Lock 2019 Quick Panel Star, select Clock Position and Adjust.
OLD METHOD:
Check out K-Klock, you'll also need Substratum and here you go: install K-Klock via the K-Manager, the go to Substratum and install K-Klock overlay by selecting "Right: No Lockscreen" in the overlay's options.
Tip: add a custom color "white with 20% transparency" if you want to match battery's color, like in my screenshot.

Can you hide the carrier label on the status bar with this?

I can't seem to find the transparency option when adding a custom color. Is it a paid option only?

No, you have a scrollbar to choose the transparency, just below the color picker. Or you can go to advanced color wheel and set the hex code by yourself (I guess #14FFFFFF)

In settings_secure there is a value called icon_blacklist which if you add stuff to it it takes away status bar icons so in android pie if you add middle_clock_position the clock will be moved to middle and if you add right_clock_position it will move to the right

The credit goes to the creator of the systemui tuner app he posted this on his telgram group
(And btw putting middle_clock_position instead of right_clock_position will put clock in middle)

So I was just trying some things in Tasker and found this can be done. If you create a task under display you'll have status bar icon. Put in the box "right_clock_position" without quotes and then run the task

With SystemUI Tuner (Beta)
Instead of going to "Status Bar" you can go to "TouchWiz" and under "Miscellaneous" there is "Clock Position"
there you can select left, middle, right

It was just updated with that yesterday.....

You can also remove them with adb on the pc

How To - Modify all the things without third-party apps installed.
Install, Android SDK or ADB Driver on PC, then enable USB-debugging in your device via the developer settings. (alternative: use an ADB Shell App on the device.)
Plug the device in your PC/Laptop
Open Powershell/CMD Run: adb devices
(check your device and only the one device you wish to run shell commands on exists, the best way to plug a device in run command, unplug and run again see if the device no longer shows so you know it the one you're after)
Various Non-Root Commands
Full Time - Immersive Mode
(Permanently hide status and nav bar, restart device afterwards)
Code:
[COLOR="seagreen"]adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*[/COLOR]
Remove Individual Icons from Status Bar
(Permanently hide status and nav bar, some icons require device restart)
Code:
[COLOR="seagreen"]adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist 'icon string here'[/COLOR]
Code:
example string: [COLOR="seagreen"]adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist bluetooth,alarm_clock,rotate,nfc_on,battery[/COLOR]
Which removes bluetooth, alarm, rotation lock, and battery icon from the status bar
List of possible strings - unsure if all work with Android P
How to Un**** everything.
Revert All Policy Changes
(Reverts user changes back to stock policy, restart device afterwards)
Code:
[COLOR="seagreen"]adb shell settings put global policy_control null*[/COLOR]
