Option to hide the Gesture Hint?

Yakimuro — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 13:00:30 GMT

Hi! Please give us the ability to hide the gesture hint (small horizontal bar at the bottom) on One UI 7. Thanks!

Edit for clarity: This option seems to have been removed from the Settings. I've noticed a few differences in Gestures from my S24U with the One UI 7 beta vs the S25U final.

On older phones, when you switch to Gesture Navigation, there's an option to hide the white bar at the very bottom of the screen. That option is not available on the S25 Ultra. I'm assuming this is across all S25 models.

2 things (1) Samsung Wallet > 3dot menu (top right) > Settings > Quick Access > Swipe Up Gesture > Handle Transparency set to High (2) Settings > Display > Navigation Bar > More Options > toggle off Gesture Hints

You need the updated Navstar module for Goodlock. It enables extra settings for the navigation bar that also let's you remove the bar completely.

Navstar isn't available yet for One UI 7 (neither is Home Up).

Thanks, but #1 just hides it. When it's removed, that space at the bottom is reclaimed. It's not a lot of space, but it does make a difference. #2 isn't available on One UI 7 "final", at least on the S25U. Samsung has removed that option completely from the Settings.

It most certainly is as I'm using it.

I guess I'm unlucky as I don't get the option to use it.

APKs can be dangerous, wouldn't recommend that

For #2 you probably need to download the NavStar APK from APKMirror Version 7.0.00.6 see screenshots of how mine looks also S25 Ultra

APK Mirror is well respected and has been around for more than a decade. Don't try instilling fear in people when you're ignorant of the facts.

True and even then, one can uninstall the APK download and then use Goodluck (for when it comes) to download it when that platform update Navstar.

Don't you need the bar there to do Circle Search?

Re: Re: Option to hide the Gesture Hint?

Yakimuro — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 21:46:11 GMT

No, it's still just a long press at the bottom.
