If you don't mind messing with ADB, there are a few apps on play store.
Granular Immersive Mode - Apps on Google Play
Immersive mode the way you like it. For the apps you want it.
play.google.com
System UI tuner I think is better. He was in the LG V30 forums and is highly respected.
I like my 3 button navbar but like to hide it in certain apps. Haven't gotten around to it yet.

The top status bar is a waste of space to me and quite annoying when I am browsing the web in landscape mode as it takes up precious real estate.
I would really like to be able to hide the status bar from showing anywhere on the phone (including while I am in apps), yet still be able to swipe down to see notifications if I need to.
Is there any way I could do this? Perhaps once I'm rooted or a certain rom?
Thank you for your help.
The Nova launcher (Play store) has an option to show or hide the notification bar. Touching the top edge makes it visible if it has been hidden.

Launchers (like Nova) only hide the notification bar while you are on the homescreen.
I on the other hand, want to hide the notification bar throughout the entire phone, even while I'm in applications.
Is there any way to do this?
If you can root and get xposed (which doesn't work with ART), you can install the "Immerse Me" module, which will do exactly what you are asking for.
"Precious real estate".....3/16ths of an inch? Lol
K.....I got that out of the way.
Did you Google this? For real? There seems to be some ways where you have to edit this file or that. But no guarantee it works ....and to me seems like it could cause trouble.
So you could fire up Google and try these ways.....must be rooted of course.........or you could just leave well enough alone and live with that 3/16ths of space being taken up.

There is an app in the Play Store that accomplishes this without root called Immersive Full-Screen Mode ($1.29). The keyboard doesn't work right now, which might be a showstopper for you (I only use it for things like Play Newsstand or an e-reader app so I don't mind), but the dev is very active so the keyboard issue may be fixed eventually. It's worth a look, at any rate.
Do we have any way to make the nav bar smaller yet ? It's so big and takes up so much screen retail!
If you're not rooted and don't plan to do it, you can download GMD Immersive from the Play Store for free. With that app, you can hide the navbar and/or the notification bar. Upgrading to the Pro version (through an in-app purchase) lets you set Immersive mode for each app individually. There's still some bugs to be worked out for Lollipop, but it's almost perfect on KitKat.
I think GMD some apps for root, too, that might be useful for you. Just search "GMD" in the play store.
Appreciate the response. I downloaded it but it requires root. So I can not use it unfortunately
GMD Immersive? I'm completely unrooted and I'm using it as we speak...
I'm hoping the designers will shrink it in upcoming versions of android. Considering the notification bar up top is shorter than it used to be, it really looks off balance with super-tall nav bar.
I used to always shrink it to match the notification bar height with xposed.
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

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.
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

Hi all, I have my Z20 for more than 1 year now, the nav bar always was auto hidden, until recently I started to use the Game Space and after that the nav bar is always present (except on some apps/games). I really don't like it, the screen looks horrible with it, and I searched all the settings options and couldn't find any option to do it. I also looked inside the Game Space itself but found nothing...
Anybody knows how to set the auto-hide back? Hopefully not having to root the phone or install 3rd party apps? I did activated the developer option on settings, but I don't see nothing there related to it...
Thanks in advance.
