Putting your Galaxy S9 in Immersive Mode lets you truly enjoy the gorgeous display that Samsung is so famous for. You can't have it set on at all times, however, so you'll still have to deal with the status and navigation bars that cut the phone's aspect ratio down to that of a standard phone. But if you're willing to dig a little deeper, there are ways to go full Immersive Mode on your S9 for good.
The good news is the S9 and S9+ now let you hide the navigation bar by double-tapping the tiny circular button on the left side of the navigation bar, giving you more screen space to enjoy content. You're still left with the status bar to deal with, however, and while it's transparent when on the home screen, the status bar will often turn opaque depending on that app you're currently using.
Thankfully, it's possible to hide your Galaxy S9's status bar and go full immersive using a method that's been out for a while. Though the process doesn't require root, you'll need to run an ADB command. Keep reading further if you want to get the most out of your S9's gorgeous display — just be sure to follow the steps exactly as they appear, especially if this is your first time with ADB and Fastboot.
Requirements
Developer options and USB debugging enabled
Windows, Mac, or Linux computer
ADB and Fastboot installed
USB data cable
Step 1 Allow USB Computer Connection
After installing ADB and turning on USB Debugging, connect your Galaxy S9 to your computer with a USB data cable. Next, swipe down from the top of your screen and select the "Android System" notification, then choose "Transfer files" from the popup.
Step 2 Open ADB
Running an ADB command is necessary hide the S9's status bar to keep it on Immersive Mode at all times. Because of this, you'll need to open a Command Prompt or Terminal window in the platform-tools folder inside of your ADB installation directory.
If you downloaded the SDK Tools from Google and did a default installation, go to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk folder. If not, go to the folder where you installed ADB, then open the platform-tools folder located inside. Now, hold the shift button on your keyboard, then right-click within the window and choose "Open command window here."
If you have a Mac or Linux machine, open a Terminal window and change directories to the platform-tools folder. Perform a search on your hard drive for "platform-tools" if you don't know where it is, as the folder's exact location can vary depending on where you extracted ADB and Fastboot when the utilities were installed.
Step 3 Input Commands
Now that a connection has been established with the S9 and ADB is up and running, you'll need to type in a single command to hide the status bar at the top of the screen, so enter the following:
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
Step 4 Enjoy Full-Time Immersive Mode
Immediately after sending the above command, your status and navigation bars will disappear. At this point, it would be a good idea to restart your phone so that any apps that were previously open can redraw themselves to accommodate the extra screen real estate.
From now on, you'll still be able to access the navigation and status bars on your S9 by swiping in from either the top or bottom of the display, depending on which one you wish to access. The keyboard will still pop out as it normally does whenever you tap on a box that requires text input, and the home button's haptic feedback still remains active, but you'll need to reveal the navigation buttons to access Google Assistant.
Reverting This Mod
If you ever want to bring your S9 back to its stock configuration and re-enable the status bar, simply type in the following command to bring the display back to its original settings:
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
Does this hide the navigation bar even in home screen?
What if I only want to hide the navigation bar, but not the status bar?
Thanks.

There is a much easier way. Install BxActions and you get the option to press bixby button to enter inmmersive mode. No root needed

I wasn't able to hide it in the first S9 I had and can't hide it on this one either. I can hide the status bar but not the navigation bar. If I use the code to hide both it makes the status bar show but does not hide the navigation bar. I have tried multiple times. When I put in the command for both or even just the navigation bar, it disappears for a micro second like a flash, and then is still there. I have even installed System Ui Tuner and get the same results. It's weird and it's driving me crazy. Was able to hide both just fine with the S8, S8+, and the Note8.
Just another update. I have tried this on 3 different S9's with no lu k. I can only hide the status bar but not the navigation bar. I was able to do it on the S8, S8+, and the Note 8 and on 2 LG V30's. I guess maybe I'm not supposed to have the navigation bar hidden on an S9.
To hide nav bar instantly use adb and hide using the command
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-120
If not hiding properly then change value 120 and see the difference.
I tried this on my s9 plus and its working.
This code is not found by me instead i got it by googling and searching after long time.

Massive thank you from me. This has made the S9 so much more appealing on the eyes. :victory:
Now just need Samsung to pull their finger out and do something about the Navbar below the keyboard while typing. So annoying!
No way to hide the nav bar on the homescreen yet?
EDIT - Unfortunately hiding the status bar using this command breaks WhatsApp partially, emoticon panel is broken and can't see the top status bar above chat where you see the last seen time of the recipient unless the keyboard is hidden

On the Note8, S8, S8+,and the V30, the nav bar could be hidden on the home screen but on 3 different Galaxy S9's I had no luck. I have it hid on the home screen on my wife's Note8,I did it when she got it back in Oct when it was still on Nougat. The S8, S8+, and both V30's were also on Nougat when I was able to auto hide the nav bar via ADB commands and the the 2nd V30 and my wife's Note8 stayed like that after the update to Oreo so it is possible that it is a thing in Oreo for Samsung devices that are already on Oreo prior to doing the ADB commands.
I can do it just fine on my current phone which is an LG G7 ThinQ running Oreo just fine so it is most likely something in to Samsung software that is preventing it.
Are you guy still interested in remove navigation bar
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/remove-replace-navigation-bar-t3813885/post77020140#post77020140
The best way for me so far
I tried almost all app to remove and replace the navigation bar for my Samsung S9 but all of them facing serval crop screen and app UI issue. For example Samsung Internet new tabs alignment, Crop grey backgound when windows popping up (I will attache screenshot below.)
And now I think I found the best way so far to fix all these issue
- "Oneplus Gestures" is best one for me for the alternative app to replace the navigation bar because not like others, the pill of this app is always at the bottom (not shift) and it work on overlays app (ex: FB messenger)
- "Hide Nav Bar" is the app that I choose to remove the native nav bar but for now it has some issue which cropping some app and I have solution for that. You have to enable global immersive mode then exclude the apps that cropped. So far I found these apps need to exclude: Smart Capture, Edge Widget, Instagram, Gallery. By filter immersive mode for these app you could use "Immersive Mode Manager" app or just write this adb command
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.samsung.android.app.smartcapture,-com.samsung.android.app.widgetedge,-com.instagram.android,-com.sec.android.gallery3d
- Not finish yet, the fix other UI issue (Samsung Internet, Gallery) you need to use "Routines" app belong to Good Lock 2018 app to use Samsung Hide Nav Bar for Samsung Internet and Gallery app.
Then enjoy your edge to edge screen with gesture navigation. This work around fix all my issue when remove and replace navigation bar on my S9. If you find other issue feel free to discuss.

Does anyone know how to remove the status bar? I managed to do this on my S8(G950U) and I don't remember how. It disappeared until I swiped down like I was looking at notifications.

Easy Fix No Root
Go to the Galaxy Apps store. Find Good Lock 2018. Then through that install QuickStar. All Samsung Apps that finally provide more control. Just got my Note 9 and hate the status bar on such a gorgeous screen. This was simple with no bugs.

Easier solution I got from one of the threads was using Bxactions. I already have that installed for the dreaded Bixby button, so I just remap one of the clicks of the option of hiding the navigation and status bar. Works like a charm and a click again brings you back to your status bar!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...te-9-debloat-customization-t3833217?nocache=1
Post #1. You have to do ADB commands per the procedure outlined in the links. That's what I did with my Note 9. I just never have the need to see my status bar always, all the time, everytime.
Sent from my crownlte using XDA Labs
try changing your wallpaper, that did it for me.
You can install an app called fluid (app store)
Then you can disable the status bar with ADB commands... In the app you have the instructions
Substratum System Mods is The best way to do it.
Nova Launcher will allow you to hide it, no bs with adb commands and such. Just one of many options I see suggested.
Try to hide the top bar according to this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/removing-status-bar-t3834180
Code:
C:\adb>adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
error: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.
Hi, would like to color the navigation bar, except an app colors its own color.
Is there a way to do on S10/S10+?
Got it
Same way as on S8, S9 since Android 8 Oreo. Works.
How did you do it? ADB command? Samtweaks?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/change-navigation-bar-colors-t3622626
Yes. You can do it also with Tasker, as long as Tasker has the adb-permissions.
Download the app "Status bar", it works perfectly and without root.
But "status bar" is not "navigation bar".
Oh yeah my bad, mixed up navigation and notification bar lol
Edit: "Navbar apps" seems to do the trick.
Best solution is via adb, see post #2 and #4
How do I do that? I'm a noob so need to know how I give adb permission, I want to try samtweak2.
Thanks
Edit: I figured it out but nothing changes when I change color, also when I use adb shell commands nothing happens, how did you change the navigation bar color?
I used the two adb commands (through Tasker, but this should not be important)
Thanks for the reply, can you share the exact commands you used, because whatever I use doesn't work. I did it via PC.
See here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/change-navigation-bar-colors-t3622626
I used the first two commands.
Before you can choose a color, see link in that tutorial.
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

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?

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"

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.

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.
-- Brian
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.

The * is a wildcard character and also sometimes treated as a regex

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.

As i updated to android 10 i tried to use gravity box and many other root and non root apps to remove that big fat padding on the edges of the status bar.
most apps work just for android 9 or 8.1.
even tried terminal commands but that padding is still there.
if anybody successfully removed padding, please share your methods.
Trick to hide the pill on Android Q gestures navigation without losing its funcionality
I never wanted to see the pill but I love the new navigation system of Android 10
Type this in adb: adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-40
Profit
EDIT: to undo it Type this in adb: adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
"adb shell wm overscan reset" also works
wouldn't that just cut the edge of the screen? like, less content?

I'm using "fluid navigantion gestures", from the play store. The gestures are better than a10, and you can completely hide any padding, etc. It's just a couple adb commands, once you've installed the app.
