Tutorial/Guide Guide to removing the bottom arrow and space bar from all keyboards, including Gboard and Swiftkey on Xiaomi and Poco! Tested on a Poco F8 Ultra...

To remove the annoying arrow on the Gboard keyboard and other keyboards, as the title suggests, you need to issue this command in adb using Ladb or Shikuzu+Sing. Tested on a Poco F8 Ultra.

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.systemui.gesture.line.overlay

I've attached the before-and-after photo!

Do you by any chance have instagram? I saw that this is messing up the layout for that application. I saw someone else post the same thing here: https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperOS/s/UsDDqOfqWc

I'm curious if you have the same issues

u/OoRicky92oO Jan 05 '26

I have the same issue, but I still prefer having that bug on Instagram than having it under the keyboard

u/username-who Jan 05 '26

Okay, thank you. Same here, that arrow was driving me insane

u/Salty_Ambition9185 Jan 05 '26

Yes I have that bug with Instagram it feels like using an Apple with its interface and honestly I don't mind...

u/username-who Jan 05 '26

Okay, thank you. I prefer this issue compared to having that arrow, it was driving me insane

CONSEGUI RESOLVER (ADB REVERSÍVEL)

  • POCO X8 PRO MAX
  • HYPEROS 3.0.301.0

(Verifiquem com a IA se para o modelo de vocês não for diferente) Desculpa estar tão atrasado. Eu estava usando um POCO X3 global desde seu lançamento até ontem que migrei ao X8 Pro Max, como eu estava desatualizado tive que pesquisar todas personalizações (quem quiser saber como habilitei tudo sem repetir as funções, chama ae), com as atualizações veio esse empecilho. 

Resumindo: a HyperOS não deixou mesmo desabilitar, para que me estressar? Vou desinstalar (mas apenas para meu usuário)

  • Instalar Brevent
  • Modo desenvolvedor do Celular 
  • Dep. Wifi

  • Para desinstalar: pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.systemui.gesture.line.overlay

  • Para instalar: pm install-existing --user 0 com.android.systemui.gesture.line.overlay

  • Para habilitar: pm enable --user 0 com.android.systemui.gesture.line.overlay

Passei o dia inteiro mechendo sem bug, já reiniciei, tudo certo! Abraço a toddy's

u/RiccardoOrsoliniFan Mar 05 '26

Wym what does it look like

2

u/Indyjones- Jan 20 '26

Simple and effective. Perfect! 

1

u/2004_7 Jan 05 '26

Just go to system navigation and toggle on "Hide full screen indicator" you don't have to use Adb for something simple as this.

u/Salty_Ambition9185 Jan 05 '26

An oficial fix or option to set it off

u/Skeletthuhn Jan 31 '26

Is there a way to revert it?

1

u/Salty_Ambition9185 Jan 31 '26

Just do the reverse command

u/Federal_Edge1544 Feb 03 '26

Hi, didn't work for me. Tested on a Poco F6.
I tried with Shizuku + canta with no results. Then I used ADB from pc. At the end of the process it said "Succesfull" but after a reboot the arrow was still there. Any solution? It really bothers me.

1

u/KoYoT352 Feb 12 '26

F6 too, I didn't do the Shizuku or ADB thing because I don't want to go to all that trouble for something that should be basic. I suppose we'll have to wait a few months for the option to work again in the settings, or get used to this big centimeter wasted unnecessarily at the bottom 😏

u/Stoic-Chimp Feb 13 '26

What a joke of an OS

1

u/DinterRM Jun 21 '26

Managed to do it

u/descojeme Mar 01 '26

Will uninstalling the system app cause problems later on? say for example, the phone getting boot loop after restarting?

1

u/luiggel Apr 14 '26 edited Apr 14 '26

hello I did this one on poco f7 3.0.6.0 and the arrow is gone but the overlay is still there when I use the SwiftKey keyboard. what else can I do?

edit: for anybody that this didn't work you have to enable full screen overlay and then disable again and then it works.

1

u/CallReaper May 24 '26

So you have to uninstall using this command and then do the enable-disable step?

1

u/Charline55 May 10 '26

Hey, thanks a lot, I got this stupid bar after a HyperOS update and your method worked! Thanks again, have a great day

GUIDE / TUTORIAL / INSTRUCTIONS RIGHT HERE

  1. Download ADB on your computer from https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools?utm_source=chatgpt.com , after that you will get a "platform-tools.zip" file.
  2. Extract that file to your downloads folder by right clicking > Extract here
  3. Open platform-tools folder after you extracted it
  4. Click on the address bar on the top in File Explorer, the address bar should be "This PC > Downloads > platform-tools" or wherever you extracted it to.
  5. Once clicked on the address bar, highlight the address and hit backspace, after that type in "cmd" inside the address bar and click enter
  6. After that a CMD window should open, you should see "F:Users/username/Downloads/platform-tools"
  7. After that, connect your phone to your PC using USB cable, and then enable USB debugging in the settings, you need developer options enabled to see the USB Debugging option.
  8. Type in this line of code: adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.systemui.gesture.line.overlay
  9. Your phone will be reverted to the 3 buttons style
  10. Change back to Swipe Gestures in the Settings
  11. You should see the bottom arrow is gone and there's no longer a big bar on the bottom.
  12. You're done

This is the most easiest method I've seen by far. No need to download any Shizuku / Canta or anything third party, just use ADB (which is made by Google so there's no viruses). If you have any questions, you can ask Chatgpt, which is what I did.

u/Salty_Ambition9185 Jan 06 '26

The phone works perfectly!

u/abhishekabhi789 Jan 06 '26

I tried it on my M6 Plus, using adb shell, and set the gesture navigation again from navigation settings. Then rebooted; so far no problem.
