Question about the latest update? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello!
So I just have a quick question about the latest update for the S8, where they removed black as an option for the Navbar color and enabled us to hide it (immersive mode).
Whenever you hide the navbar, how does the "swipe up" gesture work in reality? As in how "good" does it work? I remember (before the update) trying the immersive mode with Custom Navigation bar (app), and the swipe up gesture was bad, whenever I tried to get the navbar up, I was scrolling up in the app I was using as well..?

It works great. Much easier than previously. And here's a link on Reddit to get Black NavBar back, it works and is safe.

Alright great!
Nice! But how much different is that from this: https://www.xda-developers.com/change-galaxy-s8-navigation-bar-color/amp/ ?
I'd rather use ADB than download an apk from an unknown source

It's just easier than ADB, if you don't have the sdk downloaded or not around a PC. I used ADB to get rid of the battery icon in the status bar. The apk is just an overlay like all of these.

Yea alright, I just don't know the upload source, so ADB "feels" safer

Just installed it, works great, thank you indeed.

Hide your Navigation Bar

You can hide your navigation bar using the "Custom Navigation Bar" app. It works great, no root needed just Grant permission using adb. It'll definitely give your screen more real estate and prevent screen burn ins. Just swipe up and the navigation bar reappears with a transparent background.

It's workiing for me but I had to turn immersive mode off and back on after I installed this app to get GA working. Don't theme the buttons or GA won't work

i am currently hiding only navigation bar and loving it so far.

Hiding the status bar doesn't work well with device, it throw off the touch sensor, for example if you were to try and click on a link you couldn't youd have to touch just below the link to click the link
Im going to buy the pro as im very satisfied on it. The youtube is displaying correctly vs the layout was offering to the other thread.

My Phone arrived today, unlocked the Bootloader and installed the Android 8.0 Beta on it, the Commands for whitelisting every app doesn't work here, can someone help? The Commands are accepted on adb, but after Reboot for example the Youtube App is still NOT Fullscreen or Instagram either

i dont like this. try youtube, remove the navbar and full screen on landscape, the aspect ratio is very odd
FYI this isn't an OLED screen, so burn-in isn't a reason to do this. LCD doesn't have that issue.
Great info was looking for something like this.
With custom nav bar the keyboard pops up like it is suppose to.
with the other app the keyboard had problems displaying, bought the pro version.

In settings, if you go to Display>Advanced>Display Size and turn it to small it makes content on the display smaller.

Enable developer options and set smallest width to 500 .You might want to also max out text size in display settings. Still not small enough, go up to 580!
Anyone know a launcher which will hide the navbar. I know lineage OS has the option to hide status and/or navbar.. I don't feel like using the adb hack to go immersive mode, would be nice if a launcher offered the option

I know you didn't feel like using the adb hack, but if you were happy to have a single adb session you could use SystemUI Tuner - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner . You just need to set give it the required permissions in adb and then you can control immersive mode from the app whenever you fancy.
It also allows a couple of other handy things like setting custom notification snooze durations.
Thanks I will try this.

Thanks. I am looking to hide it like lineage OS where you can swipe up to see it again, not totally remove it. Was hoping a launcher might have that but haven't seen one yet.

How i achieved the pixel nav bar with animations (no root)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
Use that app and set the static colour to black
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.axndx.prithvee.pixelnavbar
Then use this app and get the buttons placed correctly.
This isn't perfect and sometimes the nav bar has a mind if it's own but works in most apps
It also has the pixel animations
Also the nav bar has the be locked in the "up" position
Also I'm using cornify free in this pic
When I make this and I see duplicate navigation icons (one from the app and the original from the OOS launcher), I try every setting and no luck...

Yeah so u can adjust the buttons in the pixel nav bar app. Make them sighly smaller than the oos ones. For me the oxygen os ones are the "outline" and the pixel ones fill in the space.
See this pic. The light gray is oos
My settings
Thanks with moving one over the other it works. But I thinking of rooting my phone not waiting for OOS Oreo update. And make customization a lot easier!
is there any way to achieve Pixel navigation bar with animation on a rooted OnePlus 5T?

Well I had the animation without root. Still using this guide.
Try to use telegram with Navbar, and see what happens when you use the keyboard and try to attach something to the message
Guys, sorry for the request, I'm not very skilled in the programming but I guess it's easy to create a flashable .zip that substitutes only the icons of the OP5t navbar with those of the Pixel, without animations. Would someone do it? It would be a more elegant solution and without the horrible gray edges that you see using the play store app.

Its actually really easy t get the pixel navbar.
If you use substratum. Just download awesome navbar and press pixel and install. That's it. For nougat it requires root, if ur on oreo beta it does not. (Only adb)

I do not use substratum, I had tried a xposed module that did not work very well, so I had come to the point of wanting a flashable .zip like the old times on Nexus 6p. I will try substratum, thank you very much for the advice!

Help me! Android Oreo Can't disable navigation bar

My phone was on android 7.0, deleted the navigation bar and yesterday I went to android 8.0 can not delete the navigation bar anymore. Can someone show me how to delete navigation bar on android 8 ? Thanks very much.
P/s: I translate by google translate

You can use an app over on the play store known as "SystemUI Tuner" and you can toggle immersive mode fully, nav bar only (which is what you're looking for), and status bar only. You can do that after giving permissions via ADB or root access grant, if possible.
Forgot to add a screenshot of the app, you could plausibly use it at your will. I don't know if it will work since i don't have oreo myself but i believe it has support for it.

nova launcher has an option hide the nav bar, that's if you use nova of course.
I had a similar problem and nova fixed it.

Just tested it right now. The nav bar does pop out when you're using the keyboard and when you have the notification panel dropped down.
Did someone found a way to hide the navbar while the keyboard or notification panel is present? Well annoying this is!

Question 3rd Party Launcher with Vivid Navigation Gestures

In the app settings for Vivid Navigation Gestures, it has the option to hide the navigation bar. It says I can do it through ADB without root. Does anyone know how to do this or can give me steps to do this without root? Thanks!
so i entered the command (ive tried this with Fluid navigations also) that it gives to hide the navigation bar and it does not hide the buttons or the navigation bar... Is there a way to hide them and still use a 3rd party launcher with either Fluid or Vivid navigation apps? Thanks

Does not work on miui there is only one way I found without root that would work. I'll post it later. Much easier with root and no reason not to root
Ok. How would I do it if I did root? I'm just kinda worried I might mess up the phone.... If I only have a Mac computer can I still root? Thank you.

i know nothing about MAC you'll have to google.
use the app setedit you can download in the play store
use adb to get the proper permissions, if you check the app description in the play store it says the command you need to enter
select global table on the right side and find
force_fsg_nav_bar 1
i'm not sure if the standard value is 0 or 1 cause I already have mine changed. so if its 1 change it to 0. if its 0 change to 1.
you will have to do this everytime you reboot though
much easier and better to root, install magisk and hide with a module. read my tips/tricks thread on what you need to do
Thanks, the setedit app worked great. When I restart the phone, do i just have to go back in to change the value? That would be all I need to do to have it hiding the buttons? Thanks again!

Yes. There is a way to buy the app and it will auto do it when you reboot too. You'll have to try to figure it out
You can hide navbar without root using adb by changing into miui gestures overlay. It works until you reboot your decide, then you have to repeat.
Here's the command:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural

Hey all:
Vivid Gestures keeps losing accessibility settings, and I need to keep reenabling it.
Does anyone else have this problem and (ideally) some kind of solution.
Thanks
Ok...
Started using Full Screen Gestures, and that seems to work better
You cant use third party launchers then, correct?
Full Screen Gestures is an app, an alternative to Vivid.
It seems to play nicer with the Fold 2.

And I'm using Niagra as my launcher, which is great with foldables.
