Samsung Galaxy S8 (Android 8 Beta 2) | Remove Navbar - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi there,
I'm new here and i hope I'll do everything right.
Is there a way to completely remove the navigation bar from the s8? I want my S8 completely controled with gestures but i dind't find a way to remove the comming up navigation bar (I'm on immersive mode).
I've tried to edit the build.prop file with adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" but this ended up in a black screen where only the power options were visible.
I hope you can help me,
Simon

With root it's probably removable but my guess is is that with no Oreo root for snapdragon yet and Oreo being brand new no one has figured it out yet

You can easily remove it with the draco mod, I use it with substratum and it's great

Blake Blader, i need to now is- if i port a rom from Tab and tab rom status bar (Systemui.apk) is below the screen (like in tab and if i based it to JB or custom roms... will it work without changing any build.prop ?
eg:- Changing Systemui.apk
Settings.apk from - Port- CM9 JB
-base- My JB
Will it Work Fine or else i have to change any other apk or scripts?
I think i will not work. 1. You cant port from a tab because of screen resolution difference (and i assume that tab have cpu armv7) so you cant port from it. 2. I think you will have to edit xml files to achieve bottom status bar. And its not on build prop (system UI of frame work i guess)
Ya....

Than no app can work for you becuase gmd's hide soft key does not modify any thing in system and build prop
let me know which rom u r using right now
btw did you tried fullscreen app in playstore it creates its own systemui bar so that you can recieve incoming call etc
yeah, I've tried any possible apps to hide the navbar in stock ROM without removing the statusbar, but no luck.
Currently I'm on CM 10.1.2, using expanded desktop feature.
I'm trying to get some samsung stock apps for CM10 too!
Hello, actually Stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 would crash when you add the line to system/build.prop
I'm currently using JB 4.2.2 in this thread and the qemu.hq.mainkeys tweak worked :fingers-crossed:
But that's just on P3110, because I don't own the the others

[MOD] Lockscreen - Transparency

Hi,
Im running CM11 and i have xposed.
Thus far i cant find an 'easy fix' to remove the dark tint from my lock screen.
1. is there one?
2. if i have to manually modify an xml, which is it and where to find it?
I found one other request of the same nature but it was specific to a HTC handset.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers.
EDIT; so i found keyguard.xml in framework-res.apk /res/layout.
Pretty sure thats what i need?
Anyway to modify the apk on the fly or do i need to rebuild it then flash again with modified apk?
Really hoping theres an xposed mod ive missed.
=(

Try GravityBox Xposed module, in the lock screen settings I believe you can set the background opacity.

Hey thanks for the reply.
Got GB installed, tried that setting, didnt have any effect.
Pretty sure i need to edit the keyguard.xml in framework-res.apk but im not very practised in modifying APKs.

The S7 Edge already has the S8 softkeys installed, but are disabled by default. If rooted, open up build.prop and search for "qemu.hw.mainkeys". Change the value to 0 and reboot.
If u don't find it add this line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 . Save and reboot
Thanks. Wierd. I tried it? But when I reboot there is nothing. Also. They line is removed from the build.prop?
I'm using es explorer?
I'm not sure if this is useful or not. But I have used system ui and rom control to sac23 s8 port rom.

Yes it might be useful for me someday
It works, I use Renovate Dream Rom. But TouchWiz doesn't agroup five icons on drawer. So, I reedited \System\Build.prop to remove the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0. S7 doesn't need virtual buttons, it has fisical buttons.

[MOD] [ROOT] S9 AOD Port for all Samsung OREO

I found this mod here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/samsung-galaxy-s8--s8-cross-device-development/s9-apps-port-v1-0-t3757092 and i d like to share it(don t forget to give the proper credits to the guy that ported the apps:good.
i tried it in my A320 FL and works fine except maybe notifications (sometimes they work sometimes not,i don t get how this happens maybe somebody can help with that).
anyway for me is not a big deal cause i really like the options in clock styles this mod offers
to install copy the file in system/priv app and replace AOD Servicev25 apk.
give the right permissions as AOD Servicev25 had and reboot.
don t forget to copy somewhere AOD Servicev25 folder in case you don t like it and want to go back:good:
There is new version of aod but cannot install it.
Im on a5 (17) oreo
