I followed the step inside the XDA Navigation Gestures App, it show up the pill and work fine for me, but the only question is while I swipe up from the bottom the Navbar still show up.
I had uninstall all the old hide navbar app and other gestures app on my G955N Exynos

I was wondering if there is a tweak out there to be able to hide the notification bar until you swipe down from the top? Basically a similar idea to how you can hide the windows start bar until the mouse is at the bottom of the screen.
You can do this with apex or nova launcher...

Thanks for the lead. I'll check it out.
Xposed is still not supporting lollipop yet, gravity box doesn't work. Pie is not supporting L either.
I have been spoiled by pie and full screen. Any current alternative solution? Thanks!

I've install but dont find how to hide the original navbar ? Thx
solution
Been trying to figure this out recently myself.
The below 2 apps have worked for me. Must be rooted though.
I have a htc one m8.
1. Softkey enabler by Fate Development Group (disable softkeys)
2. Pie control by Coolace (run at startup)
Only side affect I see is I cant seem to have a pin security lock anymore. Pattern works though.
Im looking for fullscreen aswell, full immersive mode causes issues with the keyboard on lollipop, i think the issue is the navbar but i can disable the navbar but cannot get the status bar to act immersive on its own. I can use GMD to get full immersive but causes issues with the keyboard due to the immersive navbar. Is there an app that makes only the status bar immersive or a way to edit an .apk to disable navbar immersive whilst keeping status bar immersive?
You can get near with nova prime. It dumps the top bar and makes bottom transparent
Look here.
Good day everyone, so for years i wished for Android to adopt gesture navigation because it's so intuitive and natural. At the beginning it might require some effort to learn how to navigate but later on it becomes effortless it's like walking so to speak.
Anyway i wanted to create this Not Noob friendly :crying: tutorial for others who are interested in having gesture navigation replace the conventional old way but don't know where to begin or start and don't want to use custom roms. What i will be showing are the steps to how to remove the navigation bar using available apps and this method works on all Android rom versions.
Requirements
*Knowledge of how to root, install TWRP and flash zips.
*Rooted device.
Apps
*Gesture navigation app (Edge Gestures(No Root Required, Paid App), GMD Gesture Control(Root Required, Paid App), Swipe Navigation(Root Required, Free/Paid App) or any other gesture navigation app you like .
*GravityBox
*Substratum if you want to theme your rom.
Instructions
1- Install any Gesture Navigation app you like and setup the gestures you like for navigation on that app.
2- Install GravityBox we are going to need it to "hide/disable" the navigation bar. In GravityBox go to the "Navigation bar tweeks" section then under Dimentions heading move all the sliders to 0% and reboot the device for the affects to apply.
Now some of you will ask why not disable the navigation bar through GravityBox itself or from the build.prop using a string of command?, well disabling it will make "Tap On Now" feature not work any more that's why it's better to reduce the navigation bar height to zero and have no compromises, at the same time using the conventional build.prop method doesn't work on devices with Android Oreo and don't support project Treble.
3. Hide the status bar on all apps or some apps depending on which apps that don't play well, this is also an alternative method to still use the stock navigation bar but hide it from all apps.

P.S: All thanks go to the developers of these wonderful apps. :good:
If I may an alternative is also pie control and gesture app like LMT which is on XDA too.
Getting rid of navigation bar is so pleasant agent you get used to it.

I love LMT i have been using it for years now, it and GMD i have been switching between the 2 back and forth i even have videos highlighting it.
But after using both apps i give the edge to GMD and apps like it because it's a 1 step action process compared to LMT pie 2 step process(swipe edge "step 1" + action click "step 2" depending on its position left,center,right) which is not so different from having the navigation bar hidden and then swiping from the bottom for it to pop up the difference though is that LMT is faster and has more flexibility and options.
The reason i didn't mention LMT is because i want a 1 action step "1 swipe only anywhere for action execution" which is easier and more intuitive in my opinion after some learning of course, another reason which is the point of this thread is a shout out to Google to head into this direction which i believe they will soon. Luckily for us Apple and OnePlus are heading the trend.
Anyway by using GravityBox you can enjoy "Pie Controls" which is basically LMT but with a different name.
Having said all that, LMT Launcher is my second choice salute:victory: to the app developer and thanks to you for mentioning it.
My favourite and current gesture setup without root.
What gestures app is everyone using?
Been using edge gestures for ahwile and haven't had one issue with it.

Nova launcher prime has a number of gestures built in. I only use swipe up for app drawer and swipe down for notifications.

You're not likely to find that as it would have to control the actions on a system level across all apps. Android simply isn't built for that yet.
I use native immersive mode with GMD Gesture Control for swipe navigation with no nav bar (swipe up to show it), very customisable. Needs root. Generally good at recognising the gestures.

roger that, will give it a try.
Never mind
Im not sure if this is the right place to ask this but i was wondering how i can remove the back button when using pill navigation on different launchers. I moved the rootless pixel launcher to system app thinking that would help but it did not. Any ideas?
