Getting Rid of the Nav Bar (kinda)

I am running a full Android/sort of hybrid setup, and I don't mind the top status bar, and the fact that proper notifications come with it, but the bottom nav/gesture bar was and still is unbearable on the LP3 screen.

I found a sort of janky way to disable just the gesture bar. While there is not a direct setting to turn it off, you can get an in between where you get alerts working mostly, but no nav/gesture bar at the bottom. This WILL reset upon rebooting, so you have to re-do the process if you reboot. Note that the process requires connecting your phone and issuing commands via adb.

Make sure light packages are enabled

.\adb.exe shell pm enable com.lightos
.\adb.exe shell pm enable com.lightos.certmanager
.\adb.exe shell pm enable com.lightos.fota
.\adb.exe shell pm enable com.lightos.speech
.\adb.exe shell pm enable com.lightos.utilities

Reboot

.\adb.exe reboot

Turn light mode on
.\adb.exe shell settings put global light_mode 1

Reboot, do unlock the phone
.\adb.exe reboot

Disable light packages

.\adb.exe shell pm disable-user com.lightos
.\adb.exe shell pm disable-user com.lightos.certmanager
.\adb.exe shell pm disable-user com.lightos.fota
.\adb.exe shell pm disable-user com.lightos.speech
.\adb.exe shell pm disable-user com.lightos.utilities

Disable light mode

.\adb.exe shell settings put global light_mode 0

You should have the status bar just fine, and no nav bar.

If ANYONE has another way to do this that is not so jank and semi-permanent please let me know lol. I tried a few things and nothing worked but this.

Dagnabit group texts, work!

I’m running android, not hybrid. Carrier is Tello. I’ve tried several different text messaging apps. Either it splits group texts into individual threads, or it doesn’t receive responses For the apps that have it. I have selected send group text as MMS. I’m pretty sure I have the correct APN settings, I checked them against what’s on the website. I know it has been long enough for the RCS issue to be resolved, and I can receive group texts on my side phone. Any other ideas?

Help!! I am trying to connect my own hosted nas calendar on my light phone through Caldav but it always gives me an error, it syncs seamlessly with the same info on my iPhone. Any help is really appreciated.
