How to enable 3 button navigation in Nokia 7.2
Hi everybody! I found a safe (not very safe) way to enable old-style navigation bar!
Requirements:
1) Nokia 7.2
2) Computer with ADB shell
3) Non-stock launcher installed (KISS, OpenLauncher, Nova and etc.) [we will be disabling Quickstep and you need something to operate with in the future]
# Also don't forget about enabling debug bridge in android settings
Steps:
1) enter adb shell
2) disable Quickstep using following command in adb shell:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.launcher3
3) If everything is OK you will see this output:
Package com.android.launcher3 new state: disabled-user
4) Reboot your phone
Now you have traditional 3-button navigation bar
Howdy, Stranger!

TY!
I've missed the 3'rd button! ;-)
thank you so much! works perfectly!! 😁
this is great, because the 2 buttons never worked as it should both on nokia 6.1 and 7.2
now, the 6.1 already have android 10 and the gesture button works perfectly! just be aware you may want to switch this back when Q comes to 7.2 too. 😘
seems easy for someone with programming experience...
kindly do a video tutorial on YouTube for us who don't even know what ADB shell is. I would really appreciate it.
I don't know about any video but there is a really good guide at XDA:
Complete guide in post #2
May be I'll make something...
But if you want a 'windows-based' tutorial (I suppose, you want), it will take me some time.
thanks man. I followed the steps and it worked like a charm.
thanks, I'm good. I even went ahead and learnt some more tricks from the xda forum. if I can do it, then anyone can.
i actually didn't like the app list going back to vertical side effect.
and i just found out about Fluid Navigation Gestures, which is generally much better than android 10 gestures! except it's essentially missing the rotation button (pro version does offer a gesture trigger, for 3 bucks) and swiping through apps doesn't work so well. also the animation to go into the app list isn't so fluid. at least on the free version (haven't tested pro yet). remarkable piece of software there!
so i went ahead and reactivated this setting, with this one liner command:
adb shell pm enable --user 0 com.android.launcher3
if you can edit op, the 2 commands up there can obviously also be reduced in this way.
cheers!
😊
Hi! Thanks! In my case Quickstep had strange bug: sometimes I could see the home screen and recent apps at the same moment, so I decided to stay with old fashion nav bar, because of its stability.
well, it sounds like the same issue i had, when using Niagara. except, in my case, it never went all the way like you described. are you sure it's quickstep's fault? because, since i why back and started using fng, i never saw any sign of it again. plus, it never happened with the default launcher, anyway. the main issue was the horizontal app navigation gesture. sadly, fng doesn't help with that.
@cregox , it seems, that some bugs in Nokia7.2 are very random. So this phone should get "The most random phone 2019" award :-)
as much as i actually do like the phone, i still wouldn't give them such a major honour! randomness and chaos is my spaghetti/pizza god!! 😁

Update to this after Android 10 release:
Unfortunately the third button doesn't do anything (nothing at all) when using Nova Launcher (Prime).
Button is there but useless... 😕
So, we'll wait for a 'fix'.
If other launchers can handle that, please write the launcher's name.
TY!
Update for Android 10
@FTBK
Thanks! That works! 😀
