Got my Nexus 5 about 4 days ago. Not used to typing on a keyboard above a navigation bar. I am wondering if there is a way to auto hide the bar when the keyboard comes up. And perhaps have a swipe down gesture that hides the keyboard and brings back the navigation bar.
Anything like this?

Can someone who is rooted confirm if smart status bar app ( pro / free ) version works ?
I use this everyday to get screen back on my N4 hoping the launcher has not screwed this up
Hey, I just looked into the app and if I understand correctly, it reveals the status bar in full screen apps.
KitKat has this feature built in. Swipe from the top down to reveal the status bar at and time

Yeah almost, however when combined with full screen mode the status bar auto hides when not in use and pings down and shows its self until you deal with the notification.
It needed root under 4.3 to work in order to redraw the status bar, its not simply hiding the bar constantly not sure how 4.4 deals with it as I have poor WiFi and can't download a build for my n4/7 in any less than 8 hours.
Can anyone suggest any app like viper nav bar in HTC m8 which permanently hides the nav baar, makes the screen full screen and bring it up as an overlay whenever we swipe

I notice on some people posting with a Google "G" icon for thier home button in nav bar? Is there a way of doing this without root? ( certain app? I tried a few and none worked) I wanna stay with stock launcher

Hi I normally use bxactions to hide both the status bar and nav keys but it doesn't seem to be compatible yet and looks like Samsung have even stopped use been able to hide the softkeys
Does anyone know another way of having immersive mode I know it can be done with adb but doesn't that just leave us with a constant black bar at the top?
Thanks

Yeah, I tried hiding the status bar with ADB but it doesn't look right in most apps. You can still hide the navigation bar and use gestures, I'm just baffled that you can't hide the status bar in the default Samsung browser anymore. The option is still present on my Note 9 running an older version but on the Note10+ it's gone.

Ya I have the note 9 too and I've just got it set to immersive on the bxactions app but cannot seem to get it sorted on the note 10 I'm too paranoid about screen burn so its normally the first thing I do lol
On the Note 9, you can enable gesture navigation and then turn off the "hints" buttons, giving you a full screen experience. It should work the same way on the Note 10+.

Thanks I've tried that but don't like full gestures I like been able to swipe from the bottom and it brings up the softkeys also I'm after hiding the status bar the same way
You can use this to have an immersive mode toggle. You can choose what it hides. Status bar and nav bar or 1 or the other

Have you tried switching to 2 or 3 button navigation and back to gesture navigation?

Okay so it looks like it's an issue with gestures, because when I use 2 or 3 button navigation, the problem goes away (although there is still a small black bar remaining). When I switch back to gestures the black bar comes back...
Hmmm...
Use XDA Navigation Gestures

Consider installing the excellent XDA Navigation Gestures package from the Play store. I continue to use the three-button navigation "pill" mode. The so-called "pill" replaces the triangle/circle/square navigation icons and the replacement can be made extremely thin, hugging the bottom edge of the screen, and they can fade to be nearly invisible. I recognize that new Android users might like gestures. But many long-time Android users appreciate having the choice to use the old techniques. I find the package reliable on my Pixel 3a and Samsung S9, with Nova Launcher.
