[Q] Is there a way to "TRULY" disable the "Navigation Bar"?

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

Hide Navigation Bar Buttons/Immersive Mode?

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?

Remove oreo navbar completely ( workaround that works on this date 2nd april 2018)

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

[GUIDE] Hiding status bar icons

As you know, with the new Display Notch, the status bar lost quite a bit of real estate, in order to have enough space for new apps to display useful information here's how you disable some of the default status bar icons!
You don't need root, just adb so I'l be assuming you know how to use it, there are plenty of tutorials all over the forum about it.
The command you want to use to disable, for example, the Bluetooth and WiFi icons:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist bluetooth,wifi
The list of config_statusBarIcons (the list of possible icons you can disable) that I could find for Huawei are:
Code:
managed_profile
ime
sync_failing
sync_active
cast
location
bluetooth
powersavingmode
earphone
nfc
tty
speakerphone
zen
mute
volume
wifi
cdma_eri
data_connection
phone_evdo_signal
phone_signal
battery
alarm_clock
secure
clock
volte_call
eyes_protect
Don't forget to reboot the phone after that command:
Code:
adb reboot
This is the settings I use:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist bluetooth,nfc,eyes_protect,alarm_clock
Note: You can also use System UI Tuner but it only seems to work for the WiFi and Carrier Name
Enjoy!
How it looks (Stock Android 8.1, EMUI 8.1, Microsoft Launcher):

Excellent post, I have used the command tonight works well.....
But I am thinking I would like to turn the WIFI Icon back on, how do I reset the status bar ?
Also do you have the command for "do not disturb" ?

I'm running a non EMUI ROM. All the icons are usually on the right, the ROM has the ability to move the clock to the left / center but nothing else.
Id prefer the clock on the right on it's own.
So my question, do you know what content needs to be changed in order to re-order the icons to the different locations on the status bar??
Cheers

My current status bar

SystemUI tuner can hide most icons, just use the auto detect option. And reboot after toggling. VPN which I don't see on your list can be hidden too

Okay, great news, I had taken off various icons a couple of days ago, great , but I had taken one off one I wish I had kept, but also needed to remove another one.........anyway I used the ADB command and only entered the one icon in the list I wanted to remove and then ADB rebooted.....to my surprise all my icons came back on, all except the one I had added to my remove list, so basically the line of code written changed to only remove one icon as opposed to remove all previous icons and then one icon I had just added........SO if you are not happy with your choices, simply re do the process and add the icons you would like to be removed and reboot, the Icons removed will be just the ones on the list you just made and any you wish you had not removed will be returned.......

I cant hide the clock for some reason.

Thanks for the tip. Hate the stock layout. Unfortunately I can't get the HD call icon (volte_call) to disable but the others I wanted to remove are gone (BT, Nfc, eyes protect)
Edit:Suddenly the HD calls icon has left the status bar but I haven't re-entered the adb command as to try again. It just disappeared a few days later. Funny thing is the green dial icon in the dialer no longer shows HD either.
Anybody else try to remove volte_call? Did it work for you and did the green dial icon change also? Can't figure out if it's the adb command or my service provider since wife's S7 still showing HD calls(volte).

No, the command didn't work. Although my HD notification did disappear for about a month only because it was turned off by my provider for some reason. It was nice not having the HD notification but noticed that it just leaves a blank spot on the status bar. Notifications didn't "shift" over.

Wish we could simply select what we want cluttering the space of notifications, since we have the notch covering most of it.

Just reenter the same command, it'll bring all the icons back. Then enter the command again removing the icons you don't want showing.

Possible to (auto) hide the status bar entirely in A11 (=without immersive mode) ?

Hey guys,
As owning a non-notched phone I'm trying to get as much use of the display as possible. The status bar is useless to me when browsing the web. If I really want to know the time I don't mind getting out of the app first.
The navigation bar can be hidden in several ways. The PIL is also not too hard to hide. But the status bar is a real issue. I'm guessing that works out ok-ish for notch phones. But for the OP7 Pro and some Xiaomi phones this does not make sense.
I was wondering if there's a ROM or MOD that does this in another way than global overscan (which seems to conflict with FUD) or immersive mode (which places text suggestions over the text field in many apps, really annoying)
Now that in Android 11 there's no more global immersive mode, which was already a compromise, I'm running out of options. I'm currently trying ROMs at random, but maybe someone else has a tip here? I can't be the only one?

May be a different launcher? I do recall Nova had this feature to hide status bar but I have not used Nova for a while. May be something to try? Good luck ?

I'll give it a go! Fingers crossed!
update: Yep it hides it, but just when on the home screen. So it's a part of the solution! But not quite there yet.

update: Yep it hides it, but just when on the home screen. So it's a part of the solution! But not quite there yet.

It's a start though. I never have more than one page so it worked for me. Also there may be a adb command to hide status bar, just try searching it. There is an app systemui tuner that allows to hide status bar on per app basis. It may be worth checking. All the best?

There's a way to hide it with adb commands. I will look into it and write it here when I find it

I've tried with the ADB commands that worked on a10 but they didn't work (on lineage 18) probably because global immersive was removed in a11

I have not upgraded to A11 but for previous versions, the following adb command did work:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
