Have you tried (& succeeded) hiding the onscreen buttons and using gestures instead
I tried getting rid of the nav bar and used the pie controls, but it just feels weird , it's not instantaneous like the on screen buttons. I think gestures would be a better option, something like swipe left back, swipe right :multitasking swipe down:home
I know there's a "swipe back" mod on Xposed, but it doesn't work all that well, with a lot of apps it just sends to the homescreen and sometimes the previous screen becomes the "wallpaper" when I'm on the homescreen.
I tried too an app called "swipe home back" but it just some presets and I cannot set the way the gestures work
If you are rooted you can use LMT Launcher with Gestures and/or ISAS commands.

It won't replace Google Launcher. LMT is like a PIE advanced app.
i think u meed a diff phone for that. those soft buttons are a replacement for those phones without the 3 hard buttons.

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

Don t know if have tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontroldemoGmd gesture app. It is one if the seminal apps that changed how u interact with android. There are many apps for gestures but it is still one of the best. Try it.
Couldnt find the swipe gesture app

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)
Hi I would like to know if there is a app or other thing to have full screen and use gestures to navigate , I have iPhone x to and it's so soft with those gestures.
Thanks

I'm too disappointed where the fingerprint scanner is seated on the Galaxy S8+, it could be placed somewhere else but not adjacent to the rear camera. Hopefully, Now galaxy S9 is not repeating this trend.
Here you go still in beta and not available for "everyone" but works great and with more fonction

all in one gestures:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures&hl=en
I use Edge Gestures from the play store (not free) since it has more independent control over what I can do with the gestures. It does require a bit of time to get the right settings and gesture control, but once you get past that, it becomes way better than having the navigation bar.
Try "X Home Bar" from playstore .. use 0pt.navbar.apk to hide navbar ..
Use 1. Swipe up for Home 2. Swipe left, right for back
3. Double tap on home screen (nova launcher) for recent apps

But works on oreo?
I havent tried this on Oreo .. still waiting for S8+ oreo update here in Australia ..
this one is best.remove navbar and happy with Swipe navigation
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation
I am on S8+ Oreo unrooted. The 0dp Nav does not work on Oreo. I have the immersive mode via adb and a Substratum Samsung System Mod app to completely remove the nav bars, they will not show with swipe up - gone. I use Edge Gestures for full control of swipe actions. Works great on Oreo. Try it out. All on Google Play.
Quick question. I've had my phone since Monday. I'm fairly used to the gesture system available in OP6 for recent and back. OP8t throws that out the window with Google Assistant and makes back gesture from the side of the screen... In a lot of the apps I use, side swipe is used for a different function so I end up going back all the time.
Any way to change this without root? Waiting for that to be fully developed before I hop on it.
Setting >> gesture
Choose 3 buttons

Change to 3 buttons navigation, and use Vivid Navigation Gestures app to emulate the OP6 style gesture. In the app you can hide the stock navigation bar.
Some users are also reporting that left and right edges are not very sensible to single touches. Probably an overprotective edge rejection. The corners are affected by this, and google assistant, so if you are using gestures it can be a pain to use any buttons in that area.

I noticed this too, I thought my screen is faulty. Single touch is fine, but touch and hold doesn't work all the time. It's frustrating.

Sorry when I commented back then, I hadn't received my 8T yet. Hiding navigation bar doesn't work on Android 11 yet, so Vivid NG can't hide the nav bar now.
I used navigation gestures for awhile...many months ago. In my opinion it is like so many other "changes" on phones...zero bezels (stupid), no headphone jack (stupid), and many others...and I feel that navigation gestures are stupid also because they never seem to work the way people want them to work!!!! What is wrong with the 3 button navigation that just simply works? I went back to this method several weeks/months ago and never missed the gestures because the buttons ALWAYS work the way you expect them to work...so simple. SMH
Is there anyway to customize the back gesture for the Pixel 7 Pro?
I hate the fact that by default, the back gesture is to swipe in from the left and right side of the screen.
This interferes with hamburger menus in every app where swiping in from the left side of the screen no longer works.
The way OnePlus does it is way better, where swiping UP from the bottom left or right side of the screen takes you back. This is just as easy and preserves menu functionality in all apps.
On a rooted device, is there anything that can do this?
On a rooted device, use Fluid Navigation Gestures (FNG) and you can set swipe up gestures along the bottom. You must set the phone to 3 button navigation before applying and follow all instructions.

To open app menus you need to swipe diagonally. If the menu is on the left side, for example, you can slide your finger from the left lower third to the top right.

After seeing that app, I also found an app called vivid gestures. This one is more up to date however the "hide nav bar" feature doesn't seem to be working even after granting permission with root. Any fix?

Try this: go to data/adb/post-fs-data.d and create an empty file with nk extension, containing "resetprop qemu.hw.mainkeys 1" and reboot. Not completely sure, but you might need to set permission to 744.

Will this get rid of the 3 buttons too? Or just the colored bar behind them?

I don't have a pixel 7 Pro (planning to get one), but if you can enable the 3 button navigation, the method above will remove it completely. (Which means you'll have no way to navigate around, but that's the Vivid / Fluid Gestures comes in)

Yep I figured it out. I used this instead: https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/HideNavBar

This worked perfectly. I named my file Hidenavbar.nk and put the code you specified inside, and altered the permissions to 744.
Thanks so much! Now I can use this with vivid navigation gestures and I don't have to rely on any other magisk modules.
