Stock Android should have a option to resize (shrink) the navigation bar

I have a huge device and I am using on-screen navigation buttons. (Hate the gesture trend whatever)

Not exactly a problem but later on I rooted my phone andfound a Magisk Module that shrinks the navigation bar height. I was kind of surprised that you can shrink navigation bar size, but now I never looked back.

PSA: Awareness of Android's 'Emergency Information' Feature

As many know, you can add your emergency information such as address, emergency contacts and - importantly - your medical information such as blood type, organ donor status and medical notes.

This is a fantastic feature, as it can be used to help return a lost phone, or possibly determine the medical attention somebody needs. This feature is only useful if people are actually aware of it though, so it's important many people use it. Even if you don't have special medical needs, it's useful to k...

As the noscript says, Z2 force is still motorola's true flagship phone around the world since z3 is a verizon exclusive phone and z4 might come with a mediocre SD675 (lol) chipset as per the rumours.

Considering how tight the market it, Lenovo owned motorola has decided to give up the trouble to update their premium range phones.

RAM Manager for Magisk - a fix for aggressive app killing on android

So, I got a 3gb ram phone in 2017 - an upgrade from a 512 mb phone. I also had a 3gb ram tablet - which on Kitkat kept something like 300 mb ram free. Upgrade to Marshmallow, and the amount of free ram increased to ~800 mb, and the multitasking capabilities decreased drastically.

Back to 2019, and an upgrade to Oreo on the 3gb ram smartphone, and the problem is still not f...
