[Q] broken One-Hand-Mode swipe-navbar, any fix? [SOLVED]

[nLz_phone]

Hi all!

suddenly the swipe left or right gesture on navbar broke, my screen does not resize anymore =(

i think it just happened after i downloaded a navbar related playstore app to change icons etc in navbar or view visuals in it.

i deinstalled the app later and then the gesture for one-hand-mode was broken i think.

i tried to fix it like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFQt22hNG3Q
smthng like: activate magnifying glass, use it, deactivate it, one-hand-mode should work. it do not work.

Any help how to get this back?

i'm on (stock) emui 5.0 android 7.0 with magisk, systemless root and twrp

I have an app that customizes my nav bar but I can still use one-hand mode

@Rommco05 @PalakMi
reboot do not solve,
wipe cache do not solve too...
maybe wike dalvik-/ART cache? where is it for?
i dont want to loose magisk.

and i dont factory reset...
i played in my mind to maybe flash stock system and hope thats it maybe brings the hidden option back?? then i dont loose anything, maybe just some options in settings, right?

Just make sure you backup your data even if it won't erase it, just to be safe in case something happened

I have FRD-L04 and mine is full stock with no root and a locked bootloader.

Reflashing stock firmware will solve the issue, I guess.
Just be sure to backup your data

okay, i see...

yea, before i unlocked bootloader and installed magisk i was on pure stock and installed this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.perfectapps.muviz
after i used it, took some settings, deinstalled it my mini-view was broken.. then i made factory reset and all was good again...

but now i have magisk and applied all my app and userdata backups from old phone.

... in the next days i try to flash system only and try to inform myself (and you ofcause) if flashing system partition will harm in any kind my files, settings, etc.

thanks guys so far.
maybe there is some other trick to bring this function back

Ok, we'll wait for your response

so, i managed to get myself to the "mini-view option screen" by entering the (from playstore downloaded) activity manager and there i startet the correct activity.
since my could not find this point in my settings i had to go that way.
see screenshot.

http://imgur.com/Q1Mxq42

so the function was enabled, is disabled and re-enabled it. nothing. still no swipe for mini-view

disable it, restart, enable, restart still does not work....

is there a way to find out why this is like that?
can someone maybe check the code, what this switch actually do to a system file, so maybe i can take a look inside mine and change -a number for example- by myself?

reflash anything to my phone is the last way i guess... that cant be the only option.

U can do that easily by swiping on middle button to recents button on navigation bar. Works on both sides.

He mentioned that it's stuck (meaning swiping doesn't work for him)

 

[gopinaidu77]

But does the touch work on navigation bar?

 

[nLz_phone]

you r right, the swipe does not work for me.

But does the touch work on navigation bar?

the touch works without problems.
i just think that the navbar-app i installed earlier somehow broke this feature for me.
i dont want to say "please guys (n girls) try this on your honor 8 and see if it breaks the feature on your phone, too."

i think the app changed some settings which were accessible without root-permissions and my honor 8 can't change these settings back...

but if someone maybe plans to backup his/her system.img and is free to try the app and if it breaks this feature it maybe help.

so that i can say if it is really the app fault.

maybe someone knows the file in the phone where the variables for the mini-view are stored to change/check it all manually?!

thanks so far

 

[nLz_phone]

new info:
i extracted system.img from latest update.zip (update.app) and flashed it via twrp. after that i wiped dalvic and cache and booted the phone.
mhm.. nothing changed =/
all settings stayed the same, swipe to mini-view still not working....

anyone know in which partition the systemsettings are stored ?

 

[PalakMi]

I don't know in which partition they are.
I'll search

[problem solved]

problem solved!

i just got into
Settings>
advanced settings>
restore/backup>
reset all settings

not the nice way i guess, but it did the trick and now i'm able again to use mini-view (and have the slider back in settings again)
