Now that we have root via Magisk on Pixel 2 XL, the Navbar can be removed while keeping Active Edge in tact.
1. Open a file manager (I use fx), and Grant root access
2. Mount system as rw
3. Edit build.prop
4. Add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to the end of the build.prop file
5. Reboot and enjoy
This is confirmed working on 8.0 November update, but there's no reason why it wouldn't work on the old 8.0 or 8.1 DP1.
I use Unique Controls Pie to navigate.
And there aren't any random force closes?

I've had zero issues so far.
I was actually surprised that Active Edge still worked. Leads me to believe that disabling it in immersive mode was a conscious choice by Google. Not sure why they'd do that, but seems that the ability to activate it isn't tied solely to whether or not the Navbar is on screen.
Assistant, and everything else, is running just fine with Navbar hidden. No issues with Unique Gestures either across multiple reboots (I was installing some modules with Magisk so had to reboot a few times.)

You're right! Looks like the old method works again ! Thanks man. Great find
Thank you! Using this with Swipe Navigation gives the screen a much bigger look to it.

Man I want to go back to using immersive mode but there are too many times when the phone takes to long to come out of sleep or the screen doesn't come back on unless I double tap power to turn on the camera. Anyone figure out the reason for that?

If you want your NavBar gone, I can do it for the old fashion way, by editing your framework-res.apk and SystemUIGoogle.apk if you will upload those for me. I already have it for September but not November update.

I use the advance command and it works good enough. Just the freeze ups are an annoyance. What is your method? Gone completely?

Yes, gone completely.
The method described in my post disables the Navbar completely and has not caused any of the slow wake up issues seen with using the adb command to enter immersive mode.

Has anyone seen a way to swap the soft Nav buttons around yet via Xposed or any other route? Also anyway to add a quick menu on the bottom right like the Euphoria Rom has for the Nexus 6?

Get rid of those nav buttons altogether, and get some pie. You can have all sorts of buttons.

I used to be indifferent about Pie, until I actually tried it. Now I can't live without it. It's so much easier to just place your finger along either side of the screen, or the top and bottom, and have your nav buttons come up. Especially on larger screens. I also like having a "clean" screen, so the more UI items I can hide, the better.
What's the recommended pie app?

Gravity box has it, or you can grab the standalone app in Play Store.
I use an app from play store called "back button" and have a semi transparent back and notification drop button on the right side. I can't quite hit the back button comfortably. (see pic)

Is there any way to change the button layout on the navigation bar on a stock rom? Trying to see if there are alternatives that don't involve root, since I'm debating going back to stock (I really don't use many of the benefits of root access). It seems like the consensus is that there's code hidden already in android for this feature, but it's been disabled.
I'm really only trying to switch the recent apps button with the back button, ever since my samsung days, it's been ingrained in my head

In developer options make sure animation scale on all 3 are at 1x. Then swipe down from top of screen and there should be a settings cog. Press and hold till it spins, this enables system tuner. In there you can change button layout.

Out of curiosity, do you have battery saver on when trying to get system tuner? I couldn't get it to work unless it was off, then afterwards I turned it back on.

Doesn't look to be, it's odd if they removed it. I was on january patch and had system tuner enabled and updated to February and is still active.

For those that are using the navigation gestures. Have you noticed that the back button on the right or left stops working. Only gesture that works is the swipe home.
Everything is fine on my phone. Stock ROM, blu.spark kernel, rooted, OOS 9.0.5.
Haven't had any problems here either, working as it should the whole time
I am on stock 9.0.5 and it happens every once in awhile.

That could be the app that you were running at the time. They can override the default behaviour of the back button. Can you remember what app you were using? I know for a fact I have a few apps that make you press back twice before they will exit.

The nice and quick "drag and throw" kind of gesture doesn't work in landscape, if that's what you're referring to. You just get the recent apps list and select the last app from there.

I found a pretty easy way to use old OnePlus Gestures on OnePlus 5T running OxygenOS 10
No root required
1. Download this Settings Editor app
2. Open it
3. Choose "System Table"
4. Search for "op_gesture_button_side_enabled"
5. Set its value to "0"
Done! I tested it on a OnePlus 5 and it worked fine. To revert you'll have to set "1" to that property
where download?
Does this app need to be edited? Can you be clearer?
The apk is SETEDIT. and works! Thanks!!!

This should be enabled by default instead of Android's weird gestures .
Funziona perfettamente. Mille grazie
The fact that this can be changed so easily makes me wonder why OnePlus just didn't add a switch to make this an option.
Anyway, thank you very much for saving my Android experience. I loved the classic op gesture because it works perfect even with a bulky protective case while on the other hand the new Google gesture is impossible because I can't touch the screen at the required position with my thumb.
Glad to see that you appreciate my discover
