Hello everyone,
I have a question, yesterday I got my Samsung Galaxy S10 plus, not knowing about the horrible issue regarding the aspect ratio and the camera apps in 3rd party apps like Snapchat, Whatsapp, etc. I've been thinking of a way to at least hide the black bars when you take a picture from this phone to others and the solution to that was showing the navigation bar (Using buttons instead of full-screen gestures) and hiding the camera with the black bar on top, so that had me thinking, is there any way we can make the phone automatically hide the camera and show navigation bar buttons when a specific app is launched? like, say Snapchat for example instead of having to do it manually every single time? that would solve most of the problem for me because it would be a waste to have the camera always hidden it ruins the feel for me and if possible can it be made to work when a screenshot is taken too? I swear Samsung should've added such features for this phone it would solve some really irritating problems.
If anyone has a suggestion I'd gladly appreciate it,
also if there is anything I can do I would gladly do it.

I have a force immersive mod installed which makes it disappear when I have the moto camera on. Which makes it difficult to use. As for the google camera, it forces the navi bar to appear with 3 dots replacing the navi icons. Since I made this account today, I wont be able to show a picture. But i tried attaching a picture so hopefully you guys can see it. Thanks
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.

Hello guys,
Here is my problem. I usually let the navigation visible by default on my Note 8. I use them all the time, especially in apps like Whatsapp, where having a swipe up gesture to make them appear is not acceptable for my experience.
But for some apps, this white bar happens to be unsightly, especially for apps like Spotify or 9Gag, which don't require a lot of interaction with the softkeys and have a pretty decent in-app navigation experience without softkeys.
I am trying to find an app to hide my Navigation Bar (the softkeys) for a specific list of app, and make it appear again when I leave these apps.
I am not talking about enabling the "Expanded Desktop mode" for these apps, but only to hide the softkeys.
Thank you, guys !
Hopefully this will help other users to settle with the same issue

Try Tasker
Anyone having issues with apps not "fitting" the screen? Often if I try to take a photo via fb messenger the camera-app will be oversized, I will only see the lower half of the editing menu on top, etc.
As for snapchat - I prefer using the virtual navigation bar, but the bar is positioned right next to/upon the buttons on the snapchat app. I suck at explaining. Basically I keep pushing the backward button when I am trying to save. Same when writing on the keyboard at times. I want the navigation bar to show at all times, but have to use the setting where I can put it away for several apps. Soo backwards. And I hate the other navigation-options even more. I was sooo excited for this phone. Not too much anymore.

Am I doing it all wrong or is there any solution to this? Snapchat and fb messenger has no full screen display on/off option either.
I do have the same problem. Most of the time i open up Instagram, my screen is scaled to my resolution which is bad, cause some things are croped then... have u gotten any help so far?
Have to wait for Android P with notch support basically
Yeah, strange! Yesterday I got OnePlus 6, and when you activate the app to work on the full-screen mode it will fill all the screen even the area around the notch, but on my P20 Pro, it works exactly like the older screens (without the notch). Both phones have the same Android version.

Best solution for me was to turn off the navigation bars in the settings and use the fingerprint scanner to navigate back, go through recent apps and go home.
Hi,
I'm currently searching for a way to make my S10's navigation bar persistant in every app. (also in fullscreen apps)
If you watch a youtube video or play a game on a device without hardware keys its not possible anymore to switch instantly.
When i remember how easy and fast it was on my s7 edge, a single click from everywhere got me back on my homescreen and a double tap on the menu button switched to the last app.
In my S10's settings i found something in setting/display/navigationbar but the gestures are not really an replacement. (especially when you use your phone with one hand)
I don't know how bad screen burnin is when i have the bar on the whole time but if the buttons where black it would not be a problem i think?
cheers
