How did you install? Is this a substratum theme? If yes, you should just be able to disable it.

Is it a standalone app?

No it came as an apk..found it on an xda link..but I can't seem to find it on applications in settings cuz I know it's name(overlay nav icons)😔🤤😘😖

I really need to revert to the original.... If anyone knows please do tell

From your home screen go into 'all apps' find the app, long press on it and drag it to app info, you should be able to uninstall from there.
If that doesn't work, try
Going to settings>default applications. See if it's there.

Do you have the xda link?

Ok I tried it but the nav bars remain... They don't go back to default 😥

Maybe changing stock navbar settings will bring it back? Go into settings and search for navigation bar, play with it's settings and see if it changes back.

Another round about way would be to download another navbar app from play store, make it the default, then uninstall it, the phone should ask which one you wanna use now.

Did the one u installed replace the current one?

It didn't exactly replace it...or maybe it did cuz both look the same..altho the colour of the navbar did cahnge according to the theme of the app being used..so maybe it did change.... Nevertheless uninstalling it didn't make it revert to the original

Is this the app you got? https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967

My guess is they whatever you downloaded is adding to the navbar settings and not creating a new one.

Another suggestion to finding what app it is, go into your downloads folder on your phone and look for the apk or do into browser and see the downloads tab there. That should show you where you downloaded it, you will be able to visit the website and see suggestion for removing it

See comments (or add your own) on uninstalling it

I'd have taken a guess you'd installed something from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-inversion-ui-overlay-overlays-t3604341/page1

If it was, you need to delete 2 things from your apps. The first will be named similar to what you downloaded (com.android.systemui... (then whatever you downloaded) and the second will be android.overlay. Delete them both and restart your phone and you'll be good.

Ok I'll try it out and post here if it works...was planning to do a factory reset anyway
