Hey guys, I was wondering why there is a black bar in Snapchat where the navigation keys would be. The bar disappears when I open a chat with someone and remains hidden as long as I keep the app open. I have the on-screen navigation keys turned off as I use gesture controls on my Nexus 6P.
If someone has figured out how to get rid of this annoying black bar, please let me know.
ikr, its so annoying... i think its cuz of xposed or snappereffs probably

Snapchat always assumes you have a navbar running. Doesn't matter that you disabled it in your case. The new snapprefs module update probably coming soon has a feature to disable it. Otherwise, that's just how the app is programmed.

I should have known, it really is a poorly made app. Eats up my battery like crazy and crashes all the time. Where did you find this information about the new feature in snapprefs? I think I have to give it a shot when it is released.

It's noted in his github. Prefs definitely makes the snapchat experience nicer imo.
change your phone model number from build.prop to htc10 or oneplus 3 , that way snapchat will assume you are using a phone with hardware buttons and you will get rid of the black bars and also cropped video and photo. I have posted something about this problem, you can check it on my posts.
I have literally no idea what Xiaomi was thinking when they had this setting off by default.
Open settings
Navigate to additional settings
Open the buttons tab
Turn ON the first option in the list, "Screen buttons can hide"
This also allows for the homescreen wallpaper to actually take up the entire screen. With regards to app compatibility, I'm surprised that nearly everything supports 17:9 perfectly.
**To clarify: this tweak allows the Mi Mix to render applications/games in its' full 2040x1080 (17:9) resolution. Before this tweak is applied, all apps are rendered in 16:9; the area in which the on screen buttons are present will always be wasted screen real estate. Obviously, this setting doesn't magically adapt content that was natively created for 16:9 (IE Youtube videos) and adapt them to fit the entire screen.
Your title is really misleading. For starters, when you recieve the mix one of the first screens that pops up is exactly this option. Second, even if you hide the Navigation buttons in apps like youtube, you'll still have black bars since youtube doesn't support the 17:9 aspect ratio. I think this thread is good for people that skipped trough this setting or didn't know about it, but i think you should change the title.

There was a prompt to turn on this setting upon factory reset? I never saw this. As to your second point, my title doesn't say display media content made for 16:9 on 17:9, just run the apps (UI).
This method doesn't give you full 17:9, but it is very easy to do and it's good enough for some, as OP stated, you just need to go to setting and set it. But since Nav bar is basically still there and it's just hidden after you swipe it down, some content could still be in 16:9. To really get your phone to show everything that's possible for 17:9, you should use the Xposed method to remove the Nav bar completely, this way you get the full 17:9 experience. As an example, third party launcher like Nova launcher would not be in 17:9 if you use the OP method, but with Xposed, you can use the Nav Bar space for whatever you want.

Which module you have used to hide the navbar?
Tested xMiui, well the navbar is hidden, but the space it leaves is still not usable. A build.prop edit works better fof me. Now the space is usable by TSF launcher and all other apps. I'm using LMT pie instead.
build.prop change
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
to
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
You could keep a backup to revert the change with TWRP filemanager if needed.

I just use xMIUI and the space are totally usable after reboot. Meaning icons, widgets docks can be all the way down at the bottom of screen where the usual nav bar was.

How is swiping down and hiding the nav bar not running apps in 17:9? Games prior to this setting would render in 1080p with black bars, after this setting they render the entire screen (and the nav bar is transparent). What you're saying literally makes no sense. I've been using Nova launcher and I just tested swiping down on the home screen and the nav bar fully disappears and the dock icons move down right where the nav bar was. They DO move down all the way to the bottom of the screen. I guess if you want to fully remove the nav bar or use the space for "whatever you want" via exposed, one can go that route, but I don't see why anyone would want to remove it. How they hell are you gonna get to your home screen, go back, or view multitasking?
Indeed, if you really want to use the full screen, you need to remove the nav bar not hiding it. Since you are using nova launcher so I will use that as an example. If you have a news widget setup to display in 16:9, when you hide the nav bar by sliding down, the widget stays in 16:9 leaving the bottom space empty.
This is just one of the many examples where content won't automatically convert to 17:9 if you hide nav bar on real time. Besides it has been reported that some of the graphic glitch or system slowness are due to the nav bar hiding and appearing.
The solution I went with is to remove nav bar completely, so everything are shown in 17:9 natively, no switching between 16:9 and 17:9 causing the system to do extra work and have chance to misbehave. I haven't personally run the hiding nav bar method for too long as I knew quite early that's not gonna be good enough for me so I can't really comment more on the stability of it.
As of control, there are many method you can choose, simple control allow you to have exactly the same function as normal nav bar but all would run in 17:9 and it can automatically hide nav bar after some interval. Simple pie brings out overlay for nav control, I am running floating menu which is completely invisible. No overlay and is just a quick swipe to perform your usual back, home recent actions. In a lot of cases, it's faster than bringing up nav bar and click on what you want then swipe down to hide. With floating menu, it's just a single swipe.
Anyway, I am not saying anything that is best, you see what you like and that's best for you. I go with my method because it's the cleanest and has no overlay at all. Going xposed is super easy for me as I am very familiar with it.
Some would find it hard to do, some would not want to do it, some just like to hide and bring up nav bar then rehide it afterwards. Hell, some even like to use the quick ball instead. Try them all and you will see what's best for you.

Ahhh very thorough response. Thanks for clarifying as you did bring up some good points.
I've disabled navbar with builp.prop edit now. As pie i'm using gravitybox, the only one i've found working in any possible situation! LMT, unique controls etc., these are all requesting overlay permission, means these are not working like a real xposed code swap would work. The problem with implementations like LMT, etc. is, it fails if you're using apps like paypal, that desktivate all overlay apps in start. That means, open paypal, pie dead, no navigation possible. For me unusable. The only working real replacement is gravitybox. If anybody knows another, nicer desugned one....

I am running floating menu with PayPal, non-issue at all. Liked i mentioned many times already, if you want the cleanest way to maximise everything in 17:9, you won't get anything better than this. It has no overlay and you don't see anything at all. (or if you want, a bit of overlay to help you click and swipe). Otherwise it's totally invisible.
If you want more functions like app shortcut and so on, simple pie would be better.

Same with gravitybox pie, you see nothing until you swipe up from bottom left, right. Anyway i'll have a look to floating menu, too.

Difference is with pie, you see the overlay when you swipe up then you need to locate the icon then let go. So ya there is still overlay and it takes a tiny more effort.
With floating menu, you swipe up then that's it. You don't locate and you don't see anything at all, hence it's totally clean. I truly believe it doesn't get any simpler than this.

It's under HW keys, and scroll all the way down to nav bar and set it to hide.
You can download simple control from App Store. Same developer that created simple pie.
This is my personal preference: Float menu > simple control > simple pie

After testing :
Apps now run 17:9 natively.
One issue: simple control get killed by system memory cleaner using the recent button while clearing all task. Will need to wait for about 20s for simple control to work again.

One more argument to use gravitybox pie feature. It is not killed by systems taskmanager! And well, there's only an overlay if you trigger the pie.

White list it and you won't have this problem. At least not with floating menu, mine is not getting killed even if I press X to clear all.
There is also the exposed method if you really can't get it to work

One thing I like about simple control over the rest is that I can set a delay before it disappears. I can do operation like double back easily to exit some app which require it. The app is also more simple and elegant to use compare to floating menu.
@wu5262 how do I use the exposed methods?
Hello world~
I've been trying your XDA's Navigation Gesture on my Samsung Galaxy S8 (which is great ) but for some random reasons, it stopped working; like the pill was still here and I still could do the movement but it had no effect at all... so I thought just reinstalling the whole app thing would fix the bug... but no, it didn't! Instead, the Navigation Gesture still doesn't work and my initial NavBar just disappeared (Idk how to get it back). So now I have 2 problems! Can someone please help fix my phone, it getting really annoying.
Thx by advance.
To get the nav bar back disable hiding the nav bar and re enable it from the app
But first use root or adb to give it permission

So I need first to give all permission back (including adb one) before disabling `hide navbar` and then I can delete the app?

I have seen the notification somewhere while enabling the gesture which says "Remember to unhide the navigation bar before uninstalling". Install the app, give the app permissions, unhide the navigation bar, and then install the app.

Now last problem is that for some reasons the pill stops working some time for no appearent reasons... anyone might know why?
I use lots of apps that swiping right or left brings up side menus ,so swipeing right or left to back is pain and interferes with these apps ,is there any way of using the corners again ?
I hate this, too. So I use the best third party gesture app that retains OnePlus' original gestures, plus adds additional functionality:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures
Switch to navigation bar, then use a PC with ADB to hide the bar. Or use root..

Thanks for this recommendation. I too am used to the original gestures and find myself constantly invoking the Google Assistant without wanting to!
I was so disappointed with the new gestures and immediately started to miss my OnePlus 6, this app saves the whole Android 10 experience on OP8. Thank you!!
I don't mind the right side swipe but I don't need the left swipe in for back, any way to deactivate that!?
XDA app uses swipe in from left and the phone just thinks I want to go back

I personally use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid since it has a bit more features. Same setup though. I just couldn't stand the normal implementation...
Try swiping on a diagonal when trying to open a menu.
Edit: diagonal trick doesn't work so well, but I've found that using 2 fingers works very well to slide a menu out and not trigger the back function.
Thought I would revive this ,surely Google and apps developers.realisenthisnis an issue and something has to give ,I use at least half a dozen aps that have swipe from the side gestures ,all that's happening the moment is it takes me back .
Surely either app developers have to make it swipe from middle for it to work or Google has to allow swipe up to go back as an option
Hi all,
I like the back store in gestures, butt I don't need it on the left only the right.
Anyway to disable it?
Cheers in advance
PS: would prefer a mod rather than an app or a file change.
Not sure how simple this is but there are a tonne of apps which have a swipe in gesture for side menus, the XDA app is one of them.

Yea I've seen that, it's for two button gestures.
I've been so used to using the FP sensor for my navigation I can't go back to buttons now, plus you lose screen
There really should be a left hand right hand option
You can use this app

On vivid app , disable navigation bar
Set a bottom edge for home and recents gesture
And a right edge for back gesture....

Yea I'd prefer not to have something like that tbh. If there's a way to change a value in a time would be the best option I think.
I just want the left side gesture off.
I'll see if I can find the gesture settings myself, muddy be in an ini somewhere
