Greetings!
I know there's a way to put the device always in "Immersive Mode", that way you can hide the Navigation Bar:
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
But every time I swipe from the bottom to any place in the screen, the NavBar appears again (thats really frustrating >_<).
I use LMT Launched (pie), so... I don't need the NavBar to be there.
Is there a real way to truly disable the Navigation Bar???
On some roms, there's a way to do it from inside options (like in Pure Nexus rom for example), I'm currently using RenovateICE, but that option is not implemented yet.
Also, the old trick to disable the NavBar (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1) does not work on Android 7+.
Thank you for your time!!! =D
This is something I'd love to see a workaround for. I love the immersive mode feeling but I can't stand that you can't disable the nav bar completely. It hinders your ability to use swipe gestures whenever it comes back on screen and really it just defeats the purpose so I stopped using it for now.
I'll wait for a way to disable the nav bar completely on the stock ROM before I go back to "immersive mode" (if anything of the like ever comes along that is).

Yeah, or for example, when the keyboard pops out, the NavBar appears. D=
I'm pretty sure that there should be a way to do it!!!
Hi,
I was facing the same thing, and decided to take the plunge and root my phone, just for this since I have an exynos version.
From then you can edit the prop build file and remove the navbar permanently.
I use Swipe Gesture (app) to navigate around the phone with every apps full screen, it is a game changer. You can even customise actions (long press launching split screen, ect...)

What line did you added to build.prop???
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 ????
Lilolilo27, if you could elaborate on which parameter(s) you had to change in the build prop I would be forever thankful! I didn't think there would be an easy fix for this so soon!
Hi,
Yes just add the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 line to the end of the build prop file with a root explorer and reboot.
Just for precaution, make a backup of the prop file before hand AND set up Swipe Gesture or any other navigation app BEFORE making the change (or your keys will be gone and you wont be able to navigate around your phone)
Thanks lilolilo27. I'll have to give this a go when I have a few minutes and see how I come up. Thanks for the heads up btw.

WOW, that worked now!!!
I tried this on the S7 Edge and Google Pixel (with android 7+) and I had a bunch of FC's.
I just applied this tweak to my S8+, and it worked smootly!!!
Thank you for the heads up!!! =D
enjoy!
I personally love it, don't see myself using a navigation bar ever again
shame we dont have the same option as windows phone , the swipe up to hide the nav bar , simple but perfect

Added it to my build.prop on Oreo b2, and had the same issue. Have you tried the layers solution? I would, but I haven't purchased the Samsung extension and don't really want to until I know it works (my hunch is that it only works on Nougat)
Hello,
Has anyone found a way to hide the navigation bar buttons or toggle immersive mode? By having the home key buttons slide out of the way when not in use, it makes the bezels appear much smaller and really takes advantage of more screen space. Both LG and Samsung have this feature built into their system options and I've noticed how much better many apps look when it's enabled. Plus, it may help with the apparent screen burn-in issue. I just tried loading the GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode app on a demo Pixel 2 XL at a Verizon store and it kind of worked, but not in all apps. It worked great in Chrome and Maps, but not in Twitter or the NFL Mobile app. In those apps, the buttons hid out of the way, but the black bar stayed. I'm considering purchasing a Pixel 2 XL, but this one feature has been holding me back. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated.
Have a great day!

I've tried using this on my Pixel 2 a couple times. The grant permissions are given, but the app shows it is not compatible with the device.
**UPDATE** and now just letting it sit on the test screen (had to do something else) it shows it can.

Once you've granted permission the test screen seems to stall so you need to close the app and open it again

I just did this mod on my Pixel 2. I hid the navbar which gives me more screen space, very cool. Thanks.
would the 18:9 aspect ratio of the 2xl just hide the buttons or would it stretch the screen?

Did anyone else have trouble getting the permission to work? I followed exactly but got nothing.
No, no problem.
You can also LeeDroid's Shortcutter app for this purpose - I've used that to put a toggle for immersive mode in my notification shade. Both that and Custom Navigation Bar work fine on my phone, but if you are having trouble with one you could try the other. You have verified that ADB is working (e.g. a quick "adb devices")? I had to update it on my laptop before it would work with my Pixel.
I finally got it all to work just took multiple times of opening and closing the app. Are we unable to completely get rid of the nav bar without root? Im using swipe navigation but the nav bar keeps coming up.
Why can't google make this an option like samsung?
I've tried every single method here, and nothing did the trick for me, so i found a work around for myself, and decided to share, cause i've been frustated trying and trying after updating to oreo.
Assuming you know your work around on ADB commands, and do the basics like turn on immersive status:
1. turn on immersive status bar;
2. go on ADB commands, and type: Adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-210
( 0,0,0,-x is the value that determines how much you wanna push the nav bar off the screen, on my galaxy s8 and s9 -210 is the sweet spot, but you can trial and error till you find your devices sweet spot) ( to revert to origianl just type Adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
3. install all in one gestures, work well, and very customizable and easy to use: (search on playstore)
KNOKN ISSUES :
-depending on how lower you use nav bar, lockscreen shortcuts will be cut of or disappear;
-some apps lose de confirmation button, for instance the Google photos app, when deleting the "confirm" button to delete, doesn't show, but if you tap multiple times on de lower part of the screen it confirms ( tryed and works) ;
-scroll down print screen doesn't work anymore;
(LITTLE TO NO PROBLEMS, THAT MAKE UP FOR THE FACT IT TAKES NAVBAR AWAY. AT LEAST IN MY OPINION IT'S A GOOD COMPROMISE )
Does this work after reboot, or we need to reapply?
And also, can we just enter a smaller number to make navbar shorter, not hidden completely?

You can reboot as many times as you want. It will stick.
Also, the numbers you are entering don't change size at all. Only moves the nav bar, so short answer, low number only hide nav bar a little looking weird then

There is a nav bar overlay called thinner nav bar, if I'm not mistaken, that will put the nav bar slimmer. Go on substratum and look for it, then apply. Don't know if it works on oreo though... :good:

I tried that one already, but then I had problem with keyboard It's too low when there is no navbar under it. It would be great if there was some kind of separator under the keyboard so it isn't so low. And also, does that disable the hard press function of home button?
I know, I'm very complicated! xD

My keyboard works well. Where we say - 210 use other values that fit your phone and try different scenarios. Like on the keyboard. Dashboard and browser. So you can find the sweet spot for you. The home button hard pressed works great on mine. And keyboard and everything else. Maybe post some pictures of keyboard so I can see what's wrong

Maybe with themes from the app store or something. I don't really know how to make things bigger. Not a good idea to mess with adb commands theme related. I only work with substratum. Sorry. Anyway, double check if substratum is compatible with your device.what phone you have?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/global-immersive-nav-bar-t3758330
Same thing here. Just a quick swipe up away.
set mine to
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-60
because at adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-210 you cant see the emergency icon.
Also using this app: Gesture Control - Next Level Navigation
Edit: I changed mine to -80, navbar is completely hidden. I didn't use auto hide navbar option in the settings, so that the keyboard
and other UI don't sink in. Draw back is, you can't use 3D touch to go back home, but, since I have a gesture app set, I don't need it.

Actually it's quite different. You hide it with immersive, and we completely disable it. In your case of you swipe up, for instance with gestures to navigate, the nav bar appears and gets in the way. We get rid of it completely and constantly. No nav bar at all anywhere

If anyone is interested in completely disabling the navigation bar and prefers gestures, this method from the Note 8 thread works on our G7: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/to-remove-navigation-bar-android-8-0-t3779151.
See the original thread for more detailed info.
ADB Commands
Disable navbar commands
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-168
Recovery commands
adb shell settings put global policy_control null
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
Thanks for sharing. I have been looking to do this but was not able to find a comprehensive method. Works great by the way. :good:
Some aesthetic issues with this is it somewhat cuts off the bottom of the page. As in the keypad is slightly below the bottom of the screen, not much but enough to notice and the lock screen short cuts are cut off altogether and the text at the bottom of the fingerprint icon is cut off. Too bad it can not be resized.

I just use System Ui Tuner. A few Adb commands for pe mission for the app to run and all is good. Nothing is cut off and I lose no functionality. When I tried the method in this thread on my S9, I ended up having to do a factory reset because it left a white strip on the edge of everything including the AOD. Going the System UI Tuner way just works so much better.

hi folks if I am not misunderstanding I can use systemUI instead of adb commands to disable the navigation bar? I can't find any option to do so. I know navbar navigation app offers such option without that we need to use their swipe Bar function. Unfortunately for navbar and the adb commands the screen ratio isn't correct and like that some parts of apps are cut off which sucks especially for the s8 edge panel

In system UI it's under Immersive Mode.
ohh I got it...I had to run adb commands as well as to setup immersive mode within system ui. I also made sure that notification bar is black to avoid a tinny bit of the navbar usually in white/gray. For evernote app I setup an exception as evernote has issues in immersive mode .thx mate

Or just use Navigation Gestures and have it work perfectly on any phone.
I'm using Navigation Gestures and was wondering if you guys know how to move my dock in Nova above the navigation pill?
im using systemui tuner with edge gestures. Is it possible to not have the the navigation bar pop up each time the keyboard is activated?
Dear all,
If you want to disable default NAV BAR and use edge gestures then below app can help you in best way.

I have tried a lot of other apps including XDA nav bar . None of other app works all good.
But , this app is just freaking amazing. I've using it since 2 months now. It's awesome. (No issue at all)
Back then, on my Nexus 5, I used Gravitybox via Xposed.
The most liked features have been the display of the actual network speed (DL/UL rates in kb/s) and the immersive display (fullscreen, no black bars top and bottom even for apps not made for it).
I'd like to get this back on my Pixel 3, but how?
Root & Magisk possible.
Thank you for ideas!

If you're pixel is from Google, then you can root it. But there's only an unofficial Xposed that will work. I'm not sure if that supports gravitybox.

well, it is rooted with Magisk, but the Xposed you mentioned is beta unstable and does not yet support Gravitybox. Understable, with Gravitybox being a conglomerate of a whole lot of different mods.
I was wondering, if there are other possibilities to be explored. I am really wondering why there is no Magisk Module for the DL/UL speed in the status bar already - do other users not desire this or is it commonly fulfilled already, how?
The immersive display on the Pixel 3 is sort of a regress, - quite often i only see a contextually unused bar where the menu keys are.
Well, even chrome shows a white bar there, without using the area for website content display.
Did I miss some setting to toggle it?
@Tulsadiver 's mod in the themes section does it. It is also available on DU custom rom.

You can use Tasker to do this. Just a matter of creating a task for immersive mode in tasker and then run the task. Also, you can create a task to turn immersive mode off and run that if you want it off. Easiest way though is to create both tasks and then add a widget to both of them on you home screen. Then just touch one widget to turn immersive mode on and touch the other to turn it off. Another option is to create a profile that will start immersive mode when you start one of the apps in the profile, such as your browser. Then, when you quit using the app, it reverts back to immersive mode off. Whatever the case, it works great. If you want to try it, I can help you with it. They are really pretty simple tasks to set up. Are you familiar with Tasker?
so far the Edxposed for me works well on my pixel 3 with these modules:
App Locale 2
Google Mpas SDK Drift Fix for China
GravityBox[P] beta 5: network speed indicator and immersive mode work great
Lataclysm
XprivacyLua
Should be more workable modules

Funny thing - i purchased Tasker, but never used it. So no, I am not familiar with Tasker and would appreciate your help.

Open Tasker and touch the tasks tab at the top. Then, at the bottom right you'll see a plus symbol. Touch it and a small window for naming the task will open. Name it whatever you choose. In the next window, touch the plus at the bottom and then select code. Then select run shell. Then, where it says command, you simply type or copy and paste the code I give you. On that same page you'll see a line that says use root. Put a check mark in the box next to it and then use the back arrow at the top left to go back. This is the code you'll use in the command box.
This one is for turning immersive mode on.
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
This one is for turning off immersive mode.
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=
Create two tasks in the manner I mentioned, one task for immersive on and another for turning it off.
When you back out of the window where you typed the command, it takes you to the task edit window. At the bottom left you'll see a play button you can use to test the task. Touch it and, it'll turn on or off, depending of course which task it is you're in.
You can use that button to turn immersive mode on or off or you can add a Tasker widget for each task on your home screen. Then it's just a matter of touching them to turn it on and off. Also, if you prefer, you can add buttons for them in the quick settings you see when you drag down the status bar. Just open the quick settings, touch the edit button and add the Tasker buttons there. There are three of them, add two and assign the tasks to them.
