back button on the right? did you willingly subject yourself to a samsung?
No, this is a Motorola phone with LineageOS. I switched it to have back on the right cause it's better.
Funny enough, I actually like this setup more than the default. Reaching over across the screen to touch the back button just seems more difficult and error prone.
aesthetically it hurts though. and since i've been on android since the buttons were actual buttons, it hurts my muscle memory as well
also, unpopular opinion: if reaching part of the screen is a problem, the screen is too big.
Yes it is too big but what are you going to do.
It lets you see more things being bigger
You can set the keyboard to have padding at the bottom, so that there's more distance between space and the home-button.
If the pre-installed keyboard app doesn't allow this, you can do it with HeliBoard, for example, in the settings under Appearance → Bottom padding scale.
Heliboard is mainly what I use, so I'll give that a try..
You're not alone, but also I miss my physical keyboard :(
Right, I wish there were good options that are affordable and support custom firmware.
What phone and ROM do you have? I use GrapheneOS and I haven't seen that bar for a long time.
I'm using a Motorola phone with LineageOS. It defaults to gesture based navigation, but has the nav bar as an option. I hate the gesture nav, so I stick to the bar.
you can turn it on in settings.
