navigation bar
hello, my new phone just arrived.
i'd like to enable the navigation bar (software buttons) to give some rest to my thumb (less vertical movement).
I'd accept even an app if it's going to work like the original one, that is: to "dock" on the bottom of the screen, actually making the viewing screen smaller.
Yes, I'm ok to sacrifice screen space.
I tried few apps and they overlap the content of the screen, actually preventing me to see or tap on important parts.
Is there any non-root method? or any rooted method?
Any help is appreciated
in the end i decided to root and use the build.prop method.
Very nicely working, only minor problem found is with original camera app: the navbar doesn't hide and overlaps some controls.
I guess the problem to exists because samsung's apps don't care about the navbar, none of their phone have it.
I tried to first solve with tasker, but the plugin i bought (for the action was missing) didn't work. (refunded)
Then i searched for an xposed module, and found this "force immersive mode". Much better, but the controls are still cut in a half.

I would prefer to do this without rooting the device, if possible. I got this app called Custom Navigation Bar that let's you make some modifications to the navigation bar like changing the order of the back, home and recent buttons. There is an option in the app called immersive mode that turns the navigation bar transparent but also hides it automatically. I just need the transparency without the auto hiding. By default, when you open an app, the navigation bar becomes black. I want it to stay transparent. How to do this without root, if possible? If not, what is the process for a rooted device? I have the Moto G5s Plus, Android 7.1.1 Stock ROM.
I had it with Nougar using Nova Launcher. I updated the phone to Oreo and that option is not available in Nova. I read a lot of threads and didn’t find and answer Immersive mode is not what I want.
For those that want to take advantage of this beautiful screen and all it's glory. These commands will remove the status bar, the navigation bar, or both. They must be run using ADB. I did not create this, these commands have been around for quite a while and I have been using them as far back as the Galaxy S8.
They do the same thing as immersive mode in System UI Tuner but without having to install another app and run commands for that app to work and yes before you ask, I have used that same app on some of the recent phones I have had. These commands are just for those that want the full screen experience.
Without further ado here are the commands to be placed into ADB.
To hide the Status bar:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
To hide the Navigation bar:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
To hide both Status and Navigation bars:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
To revert:
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
Hope Y'all enjoy it.

is there a code to disable the nav bar permanently? for instance, with the code above it basically hides the nav bar. it is still available if you swipe up. i'd like to completely disable it so it never shows and use LMT with gestures instead.

Oh my god thank you. I'm looking for the same thing. I want to remove the navigation bar entirely. I use fluid navigation gestures right now, because I absolutely hate the OnePlus navigation gestures animation you get. (Flingy shrinking square effect)It feels like it's slowing down the phone.
But when you use the fingerprint sensor with fluid gestures, for a brief moment, the system has to shoot the navigation bar back down again. it's annoying and glitchy. It feels like I can't win, there's always a stupid animation I don't want to see

I just go into settings and then into buttons & gestures and then navigation bare and gestures and set it for gestures and viola, nav bar gone.

unless there is something specifically different with oneplus - this build prop edit no longer works since going to Pie.
there definitely is some way to hide it because some custom roms like Resurrection Remix still remove it completely if you want.
gonna keep trying and see if i can get rid of it all together
Hi
I love to use the phone in full immersive mode, but I have problem with the keyboard. Let's say I have kb up in the browser. Somebody sends me a msg, I have the popup (which I'd also like to be able to disable btw, in case if you know a trick), and it brings back the statusbar for the time of the pop up, and that causes the reloading of the kb. Very annoying. Plus in whatsapp it breaks the ui, the top bar with the name of the contact disappears, and the type bar also covered by the kb for a few pixel widht. If the kb is not up, there's no problem. Am I the knly lucky with these issues?

you're right - this is the way to do it. when you have it turned on the keyboard doesn't come up. that combined with the adb code to hide both bars seems to work

This worked for me:
Requirements: ADB and Fastboot installed on PC or Mac.
Instructions: Type without quotations in CMD or Windows PoweShell (use "."before command in PowerShell):
"adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-202"
---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------
And for full, semi, etc. immersive; EdExposed with GravityBox P --> Display Tweaks --> Expanded Desktop Mode settings. In addition, GravityBox adds the Expanded Desktop mode change button to the Power Menu
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=
hides it completely, been using since I got the phone, I love the impressiveness of full screen mode, only thing is the round corners sometimes partially obstruct screen elements, my previous Mi Mix was much squarer and didnt have this (minor) issue.
I only use the code for the status bar and not the one for the the nav bar or full since I use gestures. I did try it with it with full and had no issues with the buttons popping up when I swipe up or down nor did I have a y keyboard issues.

this code moved it a bit too much. any idea what number stock is? trying different values and its not working
EDIT - i kept messing with this so the keyboard was at the very bottom and the number i needed was -75
Is there an easy way to enable per app nav bar immersive mode? On stock LG Oreo, there was a toggle on the nav bar that you could enable / disable per app to show / hide the nav bar (nothing for status bar .. but I like having the status bar).
If not I think I found something to work on
Edit : So I see that Renovate Ice offers per app, but I am not going to pay for a feature that I can fix myself. I run xxx no limits, and I think I will get in touch with that dev to see if he will let me work with him to get it added in.

I cheesed out and paid for Renovate. It is nice that you can run Renovate with xxx No Limits at the same time .. the only issue being the timeout of the AOD . Way too fast with both installed.
Again, I have only had this phone since Friday, but I will be tearing through the code, and fixing all these little issues that bug the sh*t out of me without someone having to pay for it

Hi
Is anybody there uses full immersive mode on 10?
Before on 9 I had some issues, when the keyboard was active. After it was fixed. (I was on havoc).
Now as I swapped to 10 some months ago, I have the same issue. I was waiting all these months to be fixed, but still the keyboard breaks the ui. You can see in whatsapp chat, substratum, even in xda app, when you write a post.
This only happens, when I hide statbar, as navbar is always hidden, that doesn't give problem, so I did a blacklist for the statbar for tgese apps. I use system ui tuner app.
Do you know any way to fix this?
I wrote a couple of times to the forum of the rom I use, but no answer. I know, not so popular the full immersive mode, but I really like it, please share if you know a fix, thanks.
BTW @truckerdewd I recommend putting a "" around the *
The * is a wildcard character and also sometimes treated as a regex
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation="*"
That should prevent headaches for anyone using shells that auto fill the *

I copied and pasted the exact commands from a web page that I have saved in my email. I have used the same exact commands all the way back to when the Galaxy S8 came out without incident. Best way to prevent the * from bring auto entered in command prompt is to not use Windows shell but to actually make windows use command prompt. Windows shell sucks and I detest it.

A11 broke immersive mode it seems
Hi,
Is it possible on stock and without root to make the notification bar smaller? It's way too big. Furthermore I would like to hide the notification bar in some apps for a full screen experience. Is that somehow possible?
change dpi settings in developers settings. increase it step by step to the most suitable value for you, but be aware that all other things will be lowered. Other than this there is no solution for stock and no-root.
What about hiding it at all? E. G. By the immersive mode?
try custom navigation bar by paphonb
Custom navbar does not work. It even doesn't pass the compatibility test. I tried Tiles to enable the immersive mode but it hides only the statusbars symbols and I also can't use more display area... Any other ideas?
Settings>Additional Settings>Accessibility>Display Size
It also bothers me so reduced it.

The new MIUI 10.2.12.0 global stable update reduced the size of it to match the height of the notch. Though, for some reason, it seems that the update was pulled because I couldn't download the update package anymore thru the updater app and even the update log is inaccessible.
