Any reasons why people use mods/hacks to disable the navbar permanently? Samsung offers the option to do so, but why u have to disable it permanently?
Gestures navigation is not that smooth & u have to use an app.
Is there any benefits or something I'm missing?

I do it so I dont have to look at it
Its always white when i want it black and black when I want it white
Lol That's pretty funny tbh:laugh:
You have this big beautiful touch screen, why do I want to take up space on the screen (or have it appear/disappear) every time I want to navigate or go to the home screen? I use Gesture Control so that I just have to swipe left/right/up at the bottom and never have to see it...
Looks better and is really cool to have the whole screen.... navigation gestures works pretty well.
It's quite simple really, you get more screen real estate and you don't need to look at the ugly navbar.

How did u hide the navigation bar & what gesture app/mod do u use please? I want something a little smoother than the xda gesture app.

I used to use plasmalite and it was awesome, unfortunately stopped working well under Oreo and it never got updated. Now I use XDA gestures, which is pretty OK, in some aspects better than plasmalite.

Xda gestures works great especially the split pill giving additional swipes. I have some very minor delays with it though, but I can live with it. OnePlus gestures is the best so far, but it's paid.
I tried out XDA's Navigation Gestures (paid version) but find Samsung's One Hand Operation+ more enjoyable.
From the edge screen I simply swipe left to go back, to open recents I swipe up diagonally from the same place and to go home I just press the home button.

Actually, I'm sick and tired of the bloody keys constantly disappearing when I most need them. We have a huge screen already and I'd rather have a mod that nails the keys in place, so that they never ever disappear. Lol.
Just my 2 cents...

You can still manipulate things like transparency, height, width and colour with the app so its pretty good if you want that too.
Personally hate the speaker chin and button combo, wish they went with the HOX set up. Used to using pie now anyways.

Does anyone know how to keep the stock navbar icons with this GMD Auto-Hide app? I like the app but don't like the buttons it uses, even when you choose the "HTC" option under themes. They just look ugly compared to the normal stock navbar icons.
this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for posting this. Now I can utilize ALL of the screen.
Personally I always need the buttons when they are gone for a second with GMD

Thank you for that great hint.
This App works like a charm !
Install LMT Pie (XDA Download) and setup for BACK/HOME/RECENTS/MENU
Change build prop to remove software keys
Profit
You all realize this is "immersive mode" in android. The buttons only hide when they aren't needed. Simply swipe where the NAV bar would be and the icons come back.
Not to thread jack... but I'm currently using Ultimate Dynamic Nav bar (see this thread on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198).
I find it more flexable (you can set your own keys, have up to 7, multiple themes, multiple behaviors).
Best feature? I have a button dedicated for screen off, and when you long press it, it opens up APM. I also have a menu button which launches volume control upon long press.
An alternative that works on the M8.
EDIT:
Whoops wrong Screenshot, please see the new one.

From what I can tell.. no there isn't. However, using any of these custom applications, you can adjust the height of the nav bars.

I just checked this and it works for me
In the options menu, you need to select "Keep trigger at panels side" as well as "Keep panel on right". Then you can swipe on the right when using the camera and it will work.
It is a bit confusing, but if you don't have those options selected, when in the Camera you need to swipe from the button to open the buttons.

I wonder if the action bar settings in Dimensions Editor don't work in some apps because those apps have a set height for the action bar.

Like this, seems to work well. Would be better if it could be set on a per app basis, to keep them visible when running certain apps.
All of you do realize that 4.4.2 has "Immersive Mode" that lets you hide the Status Bar and/or the Nav Bar until they're needed, right??
ALL of these special NavBar apps and whatnot are redundant.
Anyone onow a way to use the fingerprint gesture to pull down the notification shade like in the pixel and the s8???? I tried some apps but they usually dnt wrk.... Is it a hardware limitation on the n5 that it might not b possible??? I tried fingerprint quick action when it was in the beta stage and it wrked great, but once it hit the playstore it stopped responding like b4....
Any one know a way?
Hardware limitation I think..
you can use a launcher called: Nova Launcher
but u need to buy the premium version.
to be more specific, it will not act the same way you are asking, in the premium features you have on screen swipe gesture where you can assign the swipe down gesture to show the notifications.
I'm using this method and it is really nice.

After switching to mokee rom from miui 10 only thing I missed was the navigation gesture. I think it is one oft the most beautiful implementation among all. So I was looking for third party apps to mimic miui gestures. So far I have found these to be parfect. I am using the first one right now...

How much battery it consumes if run continuously?

There are apps that will allow you to customize this behavior extensively. I've been using OnePlus Gestures. It's in the Play Store and not a OnePlus product. It's outstanding, gives you the ability to set gestures in lots of different ways (swiping up, left, right, up and hold, etc., though it seems to "phone home" a lot. There are others, too. Fluid Gestures does what you want, but not as much overall as OnePlus Gestures. And maybe some of the ROMs will give you this functionality if you're rooted and want to go down that road.
mmm ok thanks alot…
this app didnt helped me much.
and no, i dont want to go down this rooted road ;D
i thought it will be simple…

I see. Is that Navigation Gestures you're using? I'd been using that some before switching to OnePlus Gestures. I don't have it installed anymore, so I can't check the settings for it, if that's what you're using.

I think he's just using the Pie gestures. Sadly yes, switching button placement doesn't switch the recent apps orientation too.
Just got my new Pixel 4XL yesterday and I'm loving it so far. The gesture navigation is really smooth and easy to use BUT the interface around the persistent "Swipe Up" bar at the bottom is terrible and needs to be sorted. It variously cuts into apps or adds entire sections on to the bottom of elements wasting screen real estate. Have a look at the images below. The Google keyboard has an entire section added to the bottom with the little minimize arrow on it. What a waste of space. Apps like Whatsapp just get cut off with a black bar etc. Even Google apps like the App Store and Chrome just get cut off too. The method of cut off varies wildly too which is just bad design and convention. Hopefully this will get sorted over time. All we need is the little bar to be overlaid all the time and persistent.

I understand what your saying. I brought up the same concerns during the Android Q beta however the wasted screen real estate is justified. Firstly the space added to the bottom of the keyboard is to make typing more comfortable, raising it to a typical height. Secondly the gap between the gesture swipe up bar and whatever app your in is for apps and webpages that add tabs to the bottom of the page (Edge and Brave to name a few). I can only be hopeful as the gesture navigation system becomes more widespread, developers will replace that bottom tab system in exchange for something else.
I use this app to remove the bar. All functions and gestures work, and the design inconsistencies are gone!

Nice find! It's pretty neat. It's kinda anoying seeing the Google Assistant curve cut off on the home screen though.
I used to use FNG but when it came to using the keyboard and needing to back out it was a pain in the ass. So I agree with this design for the gestures as it's simple to back out.
Also why do you need more screen real estate with the keyboard open? Imo it doesn't matter when you're typing anyway.

Why do you have issues backing out of keyboard? I just set FNG to work just like Google Gestures, only difference is no bar at the bottom. FNG works with third party launchers, Google gestures do not.

I just want to say thanks for this fantastic post. This saved me from having to look at that jarring, half finished navigation pill on the bottom with the strip surrounding it. Google should have done the same what Apple did and float the bar overtop of content. No extra strip needed on the bottom. Everything is working perfectly.
