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.
Video of my Setup
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFtzPU3IYvk&feature=youtu.be
-Apps used to achieve my setup
*GravityBox
*Substratum theme engine.
*GMD GestureControl ★ root
*Nova Launcher Prime
*[Substratum] Greyce
*Popup Widget 3
*Wallpaper
*Xposed
*NeoPowerMenu
*Rugos Premium - Icon Pack
*Athanotify - prayer times
*Tiles
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.
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
Does anyone know how to remove "At a glance" from Pixel launcher?
I want to replace it with "Another Widget" as it supports multiple different calendar sources and has more customisation.
I really like the stock 3 Pixel launcher for everything else. I tried using Nova etc. and I didn't like them as much.
Try Customized Pixel Launcher [CPL], that's the way I went to get rid of that widget (AND the google bar in dock).

Yes it is pretty good!
But it doesn't support the stock gesture navigation very well
I've been using Lawnchair v2. It does all of that, and also let me change the number of rows and columns of icons, icon size, and handles legacy icons better.
I don't think you can remove the whole widget, but you can change it to only show the date and time by holding down on the homescreen, clicking "home preferences", and then deselecting everything in the at a glance section.

Which stock gesture navigation are you talking about? ? You mean the recent apps and switching between those? Because other than that, there is not much of gesture navigation on Pixel?
Do you guys manage somehow to remove search bar from the home screen with Pixel launcher and add % display in QS? I checked the mods in pixel 6 pro thread, but don't know if they will work on A13/7 pro.

Hello. I got the phone today. And that's the first thing that bothered me. But as far as I could find the information, it is not possible to remove it.

Not possibe on stock launcher
Maybe with aosp mods ( you will need lsposed)
I just use Nova launcher 8.0.3 beta with Nova Google companion. It's a heck of a lot easier and it lets you hide the notification bar as well.
I use LawnChair as Launcher. It is imho nicer then the stock one and has more features and you can remove the search bar from home screen
I wish they would allow you to do this instead of a third party launcher - the animations in third party launchers are not great compared to stock.

Not sure what you mean by the "animations" but I use Nova Prime and 3 button navigation, and everything works great. I used gesture navigation for awhile but got tired of it a couple of years ago and went back to button navigation and never looked back.

When you swipe away an app it animates the app going back into the icon in a fluid way. Third party launchers can't do this.
Use Pixel Launcher Mods to hide apps, enable icon packs, and change out the at a glance or searchbar widget. It requires Magisk.
In order to blank either of the widgets you need an empty widget, I prefer The Empty Widget on the Play Store since it has zero permissions and nothing superfluous. You can then use the hide apps function to hide the icon.
In order to modify the QS you will need AOSP Mods which requires Magisk and LSPosed. The Xposed version is the minimum, but if you download the Full version it will come with overlay themes to allow you to remove the navbar, change fonts, theme the QS, and change the system icons style.

Does this method to hide the searchbar widget move the icon drawer down to fill the gap?
Not seen anything on the stock launcher that makes it worth putting up with the limitations. Even when mods are used, it's still clunky and limited (for example, you can't change icons for individual apps).
Nova for me, far better and it does everything the stock launcher does and more. I've always found some people being desperate to stick with stock a bit strange.

With the Pixel Launcher mod you can change icons for individual apps while using the stock Pixel Launcher.
I've used Nova, Lawnchair and Hyperion for years and years but am currently using the stock Pixel Launcher with the Pixel Launcher mod to change icons and a Substratum theme to get rid of the gesture pill. Not desperate, just a personal preference. I guess I would fall into the strange category
Wich substratum theme are you using?
Can you had some screenshots?
Thx

No, you are not removing it but rather replacing it with another widget which is just going to be a blank one.

It is a Substratum theme (FSIM-Version1.apk) for this Magisk mod. You can find it via the Telegram link in that Github repo.
Ahh ok...but needs root
A happy Nova user here, what you want is what you get

I took prefer to do this. Pixel Launcher Mod has something that Lawnchair used to have but no longer does if I'm not mistaken, but the ability to apply multiple icon packs at once pretty much keeps all your icons themed at(I normally have 3-4 applied) all times.
Ok, I checked out the pixel mod again. It offers a lot but still falls well short of making the Pixel launcher an everyday use for me.
For example, you can't get rid of both the top and bottom bars at the same time (not the mods fault, I know). And my main issue with it is that you can't change the grid size so you're stuck with 4 columns and 5 rows which simply isn't enough for me.
So whilst the animations and smoothness are nice, they're not nice enough for me to put up with the stupid limitations Google have put in place.

For what it's worth, the stock Pixel Launcher goes up to 5 x 5.
