U can’t do it unfortunately
Hi! I’m new to MIUI. How can I lock the navigation buttons to always visible? Thanks!
Yes, you clearly are.
Everyone else understood it, you clearly need a drawing with step by step explanation to understand something this simple.
Xiaomi Launcher fast ? It’s slow af, even if i set 0.5 animations speed in dev settings, it doesn’t change and stay at the same speed, so annoying, i have to disable animations
There is no option as you cannot use gestures with others and some other features like floating panels etc
I used Microsoft as it was feature rich and imensly quicker and more fluid before they fd up
Yep my mom use the sms app and it’s amazing also thanks a lot for saying about the widgets I didn’t know that (:
In MS launcher you can remove all spaces between 2 widgets unlike the default Mi launcher. The hidden vault is also amazing
You should try MS SMS organiser too. It’s amazing

Yep I know but I want to switch to gestures so I can use FNG and they look realistic I was able to do this prior to this system launcher update they would switch to gestures but wouldn’t work and I was fine with that but how will I use FNG with buttons it defeats the purpose
Yep I understand that but I was able to switch to the gestures prior to this system launcher update the previously u could switch to the gestures but they wouldn’t work and I want it like that cuz I want to use FNG and using FNG with buttons doesn’t have a point
My phone came with miui 12 and android 11 out of the box 😭
Same even I like miui just hate some implementations they do
Yeah I like it a lot
You can no longer select a third party launcher and have gestures on (in order to hide the buttons) at least I couldn’t with xiaomi.eu… I could in stock.
So that’s why my FNG + Nova Launcher combo didn’t worked there.
I moved to ArrowOS and found that Nova Launcher doesn’t plays well with this custom ROM animations…specially when using the app switcher.
Currently using ArrowOS launcher.
Read the comment, it’s an Android 11 thing
my tab S5e doesn’t have this issue after samsung fixed it in an update, so it should be fixable? my redmi note 9 pro however does the same thing as the video
I wanna use nova!
With MIUI kernel, battery life is fucking insane to me man. I am squeezing 11hr SOT with AOD on.
I was hesitant to use MIUI at first but I gave it a chance and it’s grown on me!
>Poco launcher 2
Which launcher you advise then?
oh then you won’t have problems, the thing is I absolutely love it, I love to have all the content right up to the edge of the display (I have a Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite which has no chin so its beautiful to see the content in the whole display)
I’m so glad I haven’t updated from my MIUI11
Yes, **which is what I said**. NO NEED FOR ADB!
I thought that on the contrary Android 11 finally at least allowed to use gestures navigation with 3rd party launchers (even if still looks pretty broken sometimes). Am I wrong?

?? No. 12.5 will still hide the buttons, it just won’t have native gestures on third party launchers. You don’t need adb.
Microsoft launcher is the best
Disable the animations. That “speed” and “smoothness” it’s all because of the stupid animations, get rid of them and most launchers will work equally fine since they aren’t exactly resource intensive apps.
Why do you guys keep repeating this lie? Xiaomi allows gestures in third party launcher, it’s just that google broke it, and xiaomi just hasn’t yet bothered with fixing what google broke.
I’m sure they will eventually fix it, but seeing the pace at which they do everything else, it won’t be for another year or two.
That’s why I won’t update to this miui version, I even disabled Updater.apk and turned off any notifications I could from it, just not to show the persistant update prompt.
I use Nova launcher because it has all the features that I’ve been looking for, like padding the widgets so they fit better – this is really useful for my 2 email widgets, I can double tap to sleep and disable launcher animations, I can have more customisation overall, also infinite loop on my 2 homescreens.
… you can just select gestures in MIUI so it hides the buttons and then use FNG.
Not Xiaomi fault. Google has screwed us over, big time.
Android has lost soooooooo much in the lastest 2 updates. Oh so much. Just look at the list from Tasker on what they lost access to. We are slowly turning Apple, not being owners of our own s. We need to stand up to google in some way… But how do you do that?
In games we leave negative reviews crashing their Steam score forcing the company to listen. Just look at the 117 HD scandal what happened to ‘Olschool Runescape’ a week or two ago. Community got together and downvoted their whole game for not caring about our say forcing them to listen.
Android is not on Steam what do we do then? Currently Google is limiting our products. We are not allowed to access features that was accessible before without root and also the gestures. Luckily for me the MIUI launchers app list is kinda similar to Action Launcher which I use but I still lose a lot.
Arrow OS is pretty solid too. I like pixel experience but the battery drain with AOD on is a little too much for me right now.
I normally use an ASOP rom but have been trying out the Xiaomi eu rom for a bit, definitely miss the ASOP roms but I think I will wait for the next version of android to be released before switching
I don’t know to be fair. I kinda hate gesture control..
but it doesn’t have gestures does it?
Just tried this and you’re a lifesaver I never knew I could do this! It feels convenient to use again, thank you!
By flushing I’m assuming you mean to say clear everything from the recents?
If that’s an issue then try locking the fng app from recents, that way it will always remain in the background.
This isn’t a problem for me… MIUI 12.5.1 global. I’m using an oxygen os theme with full screen gestures
Niagra is actually my go to for about 2 years now. So much simpler, no distractions. If you’re looking for simple and well working, then it’s a big recommendation!
Yep I use lawnchair sometimes it’s good
Niagara launcher must try
Dude, that launcher sucks! After so many updates. Xiaomi has still not fixed the stupid top white menu background. It’s so damn annoying and it looks awful. I had to pay for an app to fix it momentarily.
poco launcher is garbage , drops frames, messes icons lacks features and leaks memory, also crashes way to often…
Use FNG (Fluid Navigation Gestures), pretty much solves your problem. I used it before together with Nova Launcher. FNG is a pretty good app!
Try lawn chair or ruthless, they are close to stock android
It used to work before updating my system launcher manually but now I uninstalled the updates and I can do it
Oh I meant it for smart launcher 5
Yep I know but I want to enable the gestures so I can use FNG what’s the point of using FNG when there r buttons. Also I am noob in reddit so I didn’t know how to write a caption I wrote a comment but it’s buried now
It’s a default launcher for every Xiaomi Pocophone
Customizations
It’s based on MiUI for Poco devices.
You’ll have to go to Google. Xiaomi can’t help with this.
Yeah ):
if only xiaomi enabled support for gestures on 3rd party launchers :/
ok thanks
The ADB command will only remove the navigation bar buttons. FNG is a third party app you can use to provide gesture control while using a third party launcher. I’m using it with Nova Launcher and it works faultlessly provided you set it up properly.
It was a prevailing issue for a long time
Same that’s why I am not switching to a custom rom
will gestures work with 3rd party launchers if i do this?
That’s the reason i got rid off MIUI and installed Pixel Experience.
Yeah
Yep, this is a huge dealbreaker for me. I tried FNS as some people suggested but it’s not very good. And I like to “flush” all my apps from time to time and flushing it kills all the apps including FNS which means I have to set it up time and time again. It’s so inconvenient 🙁
edit: FNG, not FNS
Yeah
If it cant use 3rd party launcher with geasture control nova and everything brings nothing
Actually on my F3, Nova launcher is way smoother than POCO launcher, and way better in all aspects
This is the sole reason I ditched MIUI and installed a custom ROM. Which is sad cause I like MIUI.
I am using 3rd party launchers cuz high refresh rate feels smoother 😂
Oww. But using 3rd party while having high refresh rate feels choppy on my part. does it happen with you?
It feels smoother then the system launcher in most redmi phones and I compared it with fps meter
Tried but looked like an iOS copy and it felt weird
Just want to ask, why people use third party launcher? Its inefficient, consumes lil bit more power and not as polish as def laumcher
Try smart launcher 5 or better Poco launcher 2 (made by Xiaomi)
By “swipe gestures” you mean “swipe to go back one step” ? That’s the most used swipe! Damn.
It IS Xiaomi not having implemented the new API for gestures. Android removed the old hacky way that was long deprecated.
See other manufacturers that long ago rebased their launchers to a Launcher 3 base. On those phones gestures function on 3rd party launchers. (Samsung, Google and as I’ve read also Oppo et all)
Yeah used niagra once but not my type I also like nova but I can’t use it cuz it doesn’t have the screen time widget which I am loving since I installed Microsoft launcher
I was using Nova and it’s the best. Now I am using the default it’s doesn’t bother me because it’s fast and fluid.
Also guys try Niagra launcher. Totally different experience. It’s not for all of course.
I am using Microsoft launcher nova is also good tho
Nova Launcher all the way
Oh, thanks for the help (:
You can use ADB and run the command
adb shell settings put global force_fsg_nav_bar 1
to remove the buttons, they will come back when you reboot though. There is also a way to make it permanent but you need to unlock the bootloader and custom recovery.
I know they ditched but as I wrote I was planning to use FNG but now I can’t even switch to the gestures mode before I could switch to the gestures in a launcher but they didn’t work they only looked like they were enabled but now I permanently have these stupid buttons
I manually updated the system launcher in my redmi note 10 pro running miui 12.5.8 and I can’t even switch to gestures on a 3rd party launcher prior to this I could switch but it wouldn’t work and I need it to be like that so I can use FNG and I know I can uninstall the system launcher update but I know I am going to get this system launcher update with a normal ui update in the future
