Swipe Gestures Hiding Nav Bar is back!

[Robin621k]

They heard you, Samsung has brought back the ability to hide your Navigation Bar and Swipe Gestures.

You will have to download Goodlock and specially NavStar once installed toggled on NavStar, Enable extra gesture settings.

Go to settings. Display, navigation, show more, have fun again. 

Ps. If you already have both apps and you are not seeing those options, Open Goodlick again scroll to NavStar, tap on the more, go to store, there will be an update waiting. For some reason it isn't showing up in updates

Very strange. Hmm I'm not too sure in this case. I know someone recommended installing an app to help with it, but it shouldn't require adding an application to fix this. Very strange. Can you send a screenshot of it?

The app in question is a Samsung designed UI tweaker.  It has been in use to enable hidden options on several different Samsung Galaxy devices in the past.

I agree that an app should not be needed, but it is enabling a hidden option that was removed (possibly at the direction of Google in conjunction with the Circle Search feature) for OneUI 6.1

Got the same problem as well.

The bar is a combination of the circle search and Swipe navigation hints.  It sadly requires the installation of Good Lock, and it's addon of Nav Star to remove.  There is a post about it here:

This works beautifully, assuming you get the 6.1.05.33 or above version of NavStar, which you may need to find externally if the Galaxy store only gives the 6.00.x version.

I could live with the new navigation, but I keep accidentally swiping "back" from all edges of the screen. Even when swiping away notifications from the pull down. Then I reflexively swipe the opposite direction from the opposite side and go back instead of forward.

I gave it a few weeks and then came crawling back for solutions. Looks like this navstar thing works pretty well!

Yes it does !!!

The latest version of Navstar 6-1-05-40 has broken this new feature by removing 'Enable extra gesture settings.' I had to download the apk of the previous version to fix it.

[Robin621k]

No it hasn't, at least on my version of 6.1.05.40.

When you toggle on buttons, more options.
This is what you get in NavStar

[J_star]

Yeah, I had to do the same thing

[ydhduuchdhdh]

Just updated to 6.1.05.40

It reverted back to buttons.

So I choose swipe gestures again >

More Options >

Picked Swipe from Bottom >

Turned off gestures hints

( I hate that bar)

Working fine on my S24U too.
