My phone was on android 7.0, deleted the navigation bar and yesterday I went to android 8.0 can not delete the navigation bar anymore. Can someone show me how to delete navigation bar on android 8 ? Thanks very much.

Read this thread, i found workaround there. However, you must have twrp installed. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/how-to-completely-disable-navbar-oreo-t3736272

You can use an app over on the play store known as "SystemUI Tuner" and you can toggle immersive mode fully, nav bar only (which is what you're looking for), and status bar only. You can do that after giving permissions via ADB or root access grant, if possible.

Forgot to add a screenshot of the app, you could plausibly use it at your will. I don't know if it will work since i don't have oreo myself but i believe it has support for it.

nova launcher has an option hide the nav bar, that's if you use nova of course.
I had a similar problem and nova fixed it.

Just tested it right now. The nav bar does pop out when you're using the keyboard and when you have the notification panel dropped down.

Did someone found a way to hide the navbar while the keyboard or notification panel is present? Well annoying this is!

Navbar enabler for LineageOS (Magisk Module)

Hi,
I modified existing navbar enabler to make compatible with LineageOS and make capacitive button disable.
Just use Magisk to install it.

Hey, honest meant question: Why would you need an onscreen navbar when you have the buttons? Is it configurable in some way?

Because it is supposed to have the on screen nav bar in the first place. Also, the back and app switch buttons on the soft keys are placed incorrect. I find it hard to use the soft keys because I am used to the original placement of the buttons which is back on the left and app switch on the right.

Does this module works with stock Oreo (Feb security patch) ?

the dev has added support to enable navbar from settings itself, with customization.

[GUIDE] How to use the Google Pixel navigation on the Mi A2 Lite (PixelExperience P)

Hello everybody!
I've the Unofficial PixelExperience P GSI on my Mi A2 Lite, but there was only the normal navigation bar, which we already know from the official Android 8-Stock Rom. So I searched for a possibility to use the Pixel navigation.
I found an official XDA-article about this navigation feature for the OnePlus 6, so I tried it on my Mi A2 Lite and it works!!
The only thing to do is, that you have to enable "USB-Debugging" in the developer options. And make sure that you allow the ADB-connection on your phone. Than you must run this command in ADB on your computer:
adb shell settings put secure swipe_up_to_switch_apps_enabled 1
If you did this you can close ADB and remove your phone from the computer.
If you want more information about this, here's the official article: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6-google-pixel-gestures-android-p/
It works perfectly for me, so I think it should also works for you. I don't know if it works also for other Roms (GSIs) or the Stock Rom, but maybe somebody can test it
I hope you like my little "guide"!
- and sorry for my bad englisch

good guide sir
but if you like navigation gestures you should really check out this app 'fluid navigation gestures' in play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
i think its better then Pie navigation because you can hide navigation bar and have 100% fullscreen

Are you serious?... You can go to setting, gesture and turn the new navigation bar on....

No, because I haven't this setting

There are 2 Bugs with this solution.
1. After every restart you have to enable the bar again.
2. If the NavBar Background changes from black to white you won't see the 3 buttons again which is pretty annoying.

I confirm that this is a better solution. I'm using this. The gestures are similar to MIUI. No Root, no Bootloader unlocked, only one line of code to hide the navigation bar.

Hiding navigation bar possible on Android 11?

Hello. I was wondering if there is a way to hide three button navigation bar on my 8t to use a third party gesture app.
I have root and i did try Magisk Hide Props config method by changing qemu.hw.mainkeys from 0 to 1, but nothing changed. Even after reboot the value stayed at 1, but still have the nav bar..

As far as I know, they changed something in android 11 which makes that impossible.
I tried the same with fluid n.g but it did not work

There a way to do it with adb. Haven't tested on 11 yet

yeah they removed that ability in Android 11

Yes even the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 mod on the build.prop doesn't work on OnePlus 8T, I have no idea why. I used MagiskHide Props module.

Theoretically root (above method) should work, it works on Pixel phones, but currently still not working on OnePlus 8T.

Don't see the problem why they removed that feature. I would gladly use the gestures on Oneplus, but the problem is that it's blocking some features on different apps where I have to press something down in the corners. I think it's because of the google assistant feature.

Why not use the stock gestures?

Am I the only one who sees the option in the screenshot I posted? There's an option to remove navbar. Not sure why this hasn't been mentioned.

This doesn't mean "removing" the navbar, what you shown is changing the navigation more from navbar to navigation gestures. What people are talking here is to remove the navbar while in navbar mode, so that they can use third party navigation gestures app.
If you ask why, they (and myself too) doesn't like OnePlus' navigation gestures for certain reasons. Personally, I much prefer the old OnePlus 6 style which is swipe up from bottom left/right for "back" action.

Aka android 9 version. Android 9 also had the two button gesture option. Android 10 introduced this version of it and has been further optimized in Android 11.
Of course this is all stock android versions. Some OEM's modified it like samsung for example. Oneplus isn't responsible for this style as its stock android gesture nav. Maybe in the future oneplus will make there own but there goal is to make OOS as close to aosp as possible while still adding some built-in customization.

Yeah I don't blame OnePlus for this, and it is Google that removed android's ADB overscan feature to hide navigation bar as well. I just hoped that the root method works in OnePlus (the build.prop edit) because it works well on Pixel phones.

I am using Oneplus's gestures + Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures Magisk module, this gives me almost truly fullscreen experience. I hated the arrow key on the bottom left of the keyboard. So this solves the problem for me. Just thought I'd pitch in.

Even though u remove the bottom bar, some apps still consider the empty space there. Check keyboard for example. There is some space and a useless hide arrow on bottom left. I believe OP is looking for a solution to remove that as well(which older versions used to support using overscan). I was looking for a solution to this as well.

You still don't understand, we don't only want to hide that bar, we also want to totally disable the stock gesture so that we can REPLACE with other third party gesture app. On Android 11 the method is to use the 3-button navigation bar AND disable it, so that we can use another third party gesture like Fluid Navigation without the stock one interfering.
If you still don't understand please do not insist you do.

The only person who doesn't understand is you.

Question 3rd Party Launcher with Vivid Navigation Gestures

In the app settings for Vivid Navigation Gestures, it has the option to hide the navigation bar. It says I can do it through ADB without root. Does anyone know how to do this or can give me steps to do this without root? Thanks!

so i entered the command (ive tried this with Fluid navigations also) that it gives to hide the navigation bar and it does not hide the buttons or the navigation bar... Is there a way to hide them and still use a 3rd party launcher with either Fluid or Vivid navigation apps? Thanks

Does not work on miui there is only one way I found without root that would work. I'll post it later. Much easier with root and no reason not to root

Ok. How would I do it if I did root? I'm just kinda worried I might mess up the phone.... If I only have a Mac computer can I still root? Thank you.

i know nothing about MAC you'll have to google.
use the app setedit you can download in the play store
use adb to get the proper permissions, if you check the app description in the play store it says the command you need to enter
select global table on the right side and find
force_fsg_nav_bar 1
i'm not sure if the standard value is 0 or 1 cause I already have mine changed. so if its 1 change it to 0. if its 0 change to 1.
you will have to do this everytime you reboot though
much easier and better to root, install magisk and hide with a module. read my tips/tricks thread on what you need to do

Thanks, the setedit app worked great. When I restart the phone, do i just have to go back in to change the value? That would be all I need to do to have it hiding the buttons? Thanks again!

Yes. There is a way to buy the app and it will auto do it when you reboot too. You'll have to try to figure it out

You can hide navbar without root using adb by changing into miui gestures overlay. It works until you reboot your decide, then you have to repeat.
Here's the command:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural

Hey all:
Vivid Gestures keeps losing accessibility settings, and I need to keep reenabling it.
Does anyone else have this problem and (ideally) some kind of solution.
Thanks

Ok...
Started using Full Screen Gestures, and that seems to work better

You cant use third party launchers then, correct?

Full Screen Gestures is an app, an alternative to Vivid.
It seems to play nicer with the Fold 2.
