It works fine but the usual stuff about keyboard and what not. I could see it being quite good in pro mode if you select apps that don't really require a keyboard only. I don't think it's worth using for me as I use my phone to write things, so having to many all make the keyboard appear is not worth the effort. Works fine though

I didnt get your point bro..keyboard???

I installed on one of my frends xperia z3...it freezes after some time and then no buttons are available.sometimes buttons are available but didnt work.ultimately I have to reboot the device..any issues with anyone??

I use "all in one gestures" to hide the nav bar. I've set it up like this: swipe up from the bottom right or left corner enables/disables immersive mode. That is the most efficient way to quickly hide the nav bar or bring it back when you need the keyboard that I've found. Does not require root!
It's also possible to use other gestures of course. Does not replace GMD gesture control (which requires root), but it's something!

Yes. You select gesture and set it to activate Fullscreen. When you perform the gesture you enter immersive mode. It's nice because you can quickly disable it when you need the keyboard.

Immersive mode with ADB Shell comands (hide status bar) (No Root)

Just in case any of you don't like the fixed status bar you can still hide it with the old shell commands, to bring it back for a few seconds just swipe down from the top.
I did on my S8+ and just tried on the Note 8 and it works fine. No Root needed
Follow this write up, there's an even more in depth write up with in this one I'm posting the link for.

I remember this! I'm glad something still works! Thanks for the heads up. Here's my homescreen.

Is there a way to permanently disable navigation bar and use swipe gestures instead? (I don't mean hide the navbar, because it appears when you try to use swipe gestures). I love the immersive mode but constant need to bring the bar back is pretty annoying. I would greatly appreciate if anyone would suggest a way!

If you dont want to go through all this you can use Nova launcer and just choose the option to hide the status bar, it will only appear if you swipe down from the top

This is for immersive mode system wide, you will not see the status bar in all apps too.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I LOVE immersive mode but doing it this way is too buggy for me to enjoy
Causes lag dragging the notification bar down and also bugs out in lots of apps (facebook/whatsapp/MEGA) etc

I have a better idea:
download the "Tiles" app from the play store, it has immersive mode option to be turned on and off from the notification panel, added as a tile. run this adb command "adb shell pm grant com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" then you can set it to ask you to turn off everything or different component. You can still swipe up. Also, you can only turn off status bar. etc.
Also, I am personally using the PIE controls app form the play store instead of the gestures since I am unrooted. Works well.

Yes that is. If you swipe up it will appear otherwise it doesn't show.

Is there any way to permanently hide it? I don’t want it coming back when swiping up. Want to replace it with pie.

Is there a way to get a gesture that let's me swipe up to go to home from and screen?. Like webos, Nokia and blackberry 10 had?

I'm trying to find the opposite option. I have a few apps that use immersive mode, but can't use the full screen, leaving annoying black bars. Is there a way to disable immersive mode for these apps so I can keep the navbar and status bar visible?

The app SystemUI Tuner by Zachary Wander, has Immersive Mode. In that category for it you can blacklist app to not use Immersive Mode.

hide nav bar

I was wondering if any one knew how to hide the nav bar when the keyboard was open. Where it really bothers me the most is when I'm texting.

You can use Systemui tuner app, from playstore, there is an option "inmersive mode", you choose navigation bar, and the nav bar will ALWAYS hide, even in home screen, but for this app to work, you need to grant permissions with ADB, the app itself guides you for doing it, look at this:

That doesn't work. It still shows when the keyboard is open

Well, I use AI type keyboard, the nav bar appears below the keyboard, and the back arrow in nav bar changes to a down arrow to hide the keyboard, I find this as a good implementation, the nav bar does not overlay the keyboard, or you just donot want to see it?

It's a good practice to read the description, not just download stuff. So you don't have to ask unnecessary questions.

I did reboot, but didn't work. Turns out no longer supported for OREO.

Black Nav Bar

I used the following adb commands on my Note 8, and now on my Note 9 worked just fine. Just need to install adb on you pc, and enable USB debugging on your phone, also will not trip knox.
1. Enable developer mode:
a. Go to settings
b. Scroll down to about phone
c. Repeatedly tap "Build number" until developer access is granted
2. Get, and install ADB w/ drivers
3. Enable USB Debugging
a. Go to settings
b. Go down to developer options
c. Scroll down to USB Debugging and turn it on
d. Connect phone with USB to PC
e. When you see an alert on your Note 9 requesting permission to "Allow USB debugging," click OK.*On some devices there may be a delay of five or more seconds before you see the "Allow USB debugging?" alert.
4. ) Open administrator Command Prompt, or Administrator Power Shell on your PC
a. Go to you adb install directory, and enter adb shell
5.) shell settings put global navigationbar_color -16777216
6.) shell settings put global navigationbar_current_color -16777216
7.) shell settings put global navigationbar_use_theme_default 0

Do you remember the adb command to get rid of the navbar all together?

Try this instead of minimal adb and fastboot...https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Edit...Just do it like Venom did. Don't type "shell" before typing every line.

This is cool thanks

This still works...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/change-navigation-bar-colors-t3622626

I tried this last week on my Note 8, and it worked just fine. Now that I have my Note 9, I can't get it to work. All of the commands go through without error, but the color doesn't change. I did receive an OTA yesterday after setting up my Note 9, could that possibly be why this doesn't work?

After running the adb commands in the OP, my Navbar seems to be black on some apps but white on others. I thought I remembered my Note 8 navbar being black all the time after running these commands. Is your Navbar white in the xda app?

Had my navbar black on my Note 8. After time, it made the white a different shade in the area where the navbar is when I hid the navbar. I would much prefer a clear navbar except for the buttons of course, and those can be nearly clear or maybe dark grey. Anyone know the color code for clear or almost clear? TIA.

The reason Samsung doesn't give us dark or deeper colors is literally to prevent screen burn in from dark colors, I had the Black Nav bar on my N8 since back in January and these days I can see the effects beginning to show from its use on the display, Its not terrible but its there.
Just keep in mind that it'll happen when using a black nav bar eventually, I'm still going to use it though.

No its black in the xda app. I just went with a theme and chose to use the theme color for navbar in settings. Thanks for the uploaded pic

Do you know of a dark color to prevent this burn tend to keep my phones for a long time

It would be really nice if Samsung would allow the clear navbar to not be hidden so quickly. Or allow us to make it stay up indefinitely. It would be nice if there were an ADB script to change the timeout of the hidden/clear stock navbar option. For me, that would be the ultimate/best option.
Since I had burn-in on my Note 8 from always having a black nav bar (used the adb script), I have decided not to go with the black navbar on my note 9. I am having the navbar hidden where you have to swipe up to get it to show. Just don't want another burn-in situation. Can't stand the stock whitish colors of the navbar options. I use material_black theme on my phone, and use all dark wallpapers, etc. Last thing I want is a white/bright navbar which does not go with my dark themes at all. So unless someone comes up with a script to change the timeout of the hidden stock navbar option, I guess I will be swiping up for my navbar all the time. Not that tough, but still a PITA that is should be user customizable.

Force ImmersiveMode/Hide Statusbar without root!?

Hi, is there like a adb command or something else that can help me to display all my apps in fullscreen?

I used systemui tuner.
*edit* I only hide the navbar, I leave status bar. The only thing i've noticed however is that it won't work with stock launcher. Using any other launcher it will hide. I guess we will have to wait until developers update their apps to work with samsung. Same thing happened on my essential phone. had to wait till devs fixed the screen resolution cause of the notch.

I also used System UI Tuner but in immersive mode there is only a black bar on top.
I didn't find a way for full immersive mode yet.

this makes your device full immersive mode permanent.
Full Time - Immersive Mode
(Permanently hide status and nav bar, restart device afterwards)
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*

Immersive manager
Good day.
I use immersive manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.immersivemodemanager), because it has 2 modes, 'global immersive' and 'per app immersive'. So i can choose which apps use immersive mode.
It can be activated through ADB with a PC.

it could be a stupid sugestion, but i saw a review video that the owner removes that black bar in an settings option .

Go to Settings/Display/Full Screen Apps and change the setting for the offending apps to Full Screen (default is auto). If that doesn't work, then perhaps the apps that are giving the issue don't support it.

I have all of my apps set to full screen and none of them are full screen... I have even used the adb command and all it does is remove the status bar info but I am still stuck with the bar.

Bar across top
This is what I am talking about.

What i as saying in my response (at minute 2:48)

I understand that. All of my apps are set to full screen not auto. If you look at the screen shot that is what Chrome looks like in full screen mode.

Not sure what you have going on, then. The version of chrome that came on the phone is working fine for me in immersive mode. Granted, all that it does is color the top of the screen with the color theme of whatever site I'm on. But, it's definitely not putting a black bar there. So far the apps I've tried, and work: Chrome, Yahoo, Discord, Sync. You sure you don't have "hide front camera" option enabled in the full screen settings?

You are right the bar changes color with the color theme of the website. But i'm looking for a way to remove it. I've tried in settings and with immersive manager via adb and I didn't succeed at the moment.

For me, both the nav/status bar hide when I am in immersive mode. I used Immersive mode manager and it worked fine. Right now just using Button Mapper by Flar2 to map the bixby button to it.
That looks like you are in gesture mode, not immersive mode. I actually prefer gesture mode. Swiping up just to get the bar is a pain.

Does anyone know a method to remove the tinting from the status bar? Making it the same colour as the app headers or even transparent with the background?
