Hi
Want to hide my navigation bar?
Any suggestions on how to go about it?
I would like to know this as well. AMOLED screens scare me.

I think "pie control" does not require root.

I'm using swipe navigation, that's the reason i want to hide it.
Save the extra screen space
https: // play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive (remove spaces)
I use this and highly recommend it for apps not requiring the keyboard much. Reason for this is that the keyboard will not appear while in full screen mode unless you swipe up, bring back the navigation keys, and then tap in the fillable field again. Otherwise it's the perfect app for long bouts of scrolling in apps like most reddit clients, twitter, google+, etc.
Power Toggle also has a quicksetting tile option for immersive mode im using nova launcher and i dont know if it's intentional or not but they have the option to make the navigation bar transparent. Give "Navbar app" a shot i think they have an option for a transparent bar as .

Where is the option in Nova launcher to make the nav transparent?

If you go under "Look and Feel" there should be an option that says "Hide notification", transparent, and dark. I tbought this was only fir the notification bar on the top but it instead made the navigation bar on the horrml

I pulled the build.prop file via adb but can't seem to push it back after editing cuz i can't adb from recovery.
Hey,
So, screen burn in is definitely a concern of mine as well. I am well versed in AMOLED burn in going all the way back to the Droid Incredible and Verizon Fascinate days. From what I remember, it largely has to do with the black areas of the screen (notification bar, nav bar) not having any pixels being exercised. So, in essence, the rest of the screens pixels age (or burn in) creating that effect. Static images also burn in (nav bar buttons... Also concerning). I noticed somebody posted an app to change the nav bar colors with each app that's opened. Would this not prevent burn in as well as those pixels are now getting equally exercised along with the rest of the screen (with the colors changing too... Their being no static image)?
Just curious.
I edited the build.prop but I get system UI force close when I restart. Any ideas on how to stop that from happening? I want to use lmt launcher. Can't stand the nav bar.
easiest way to hide navigation bar is with Tiles app, with the imersive mode toggle. Doesn't require root either. Just an adb command to provide a certain permission.

I used terminal and "settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*" command and I now have a stable phone. I hope an option to permanently disable the navbar will come along like the qemu line in build.prop

You used this after doing that qemu line in build.prop right? So basically two steps, one to make the nav bar go away, with the build.prop method and then the second one in terminal to get rid of the Force Close pop ups after a reboot? Am I right?

No, just the terminal command. If I change the build.prop I get system Ui force close. Unfortunately haven't figured out how to stop the fc pop ups. I just put the navbar in permanent immersive mode.

Hey mate how to revert to old settings? I ran that command and it hides the navigation bar, but it still comes up when I swipe from bottom, which is annoying as I use GMD and I don't need it to come up at all. So I guess I'll go with the build.prop method, but just wanna know how to revert to old settings in Terminal.

I think it's silly that LG has given us this big beautiful screen and diminishes it's full glory by not easily allowing you to hide the top status bar. I am pleasntly supprised about the fact that they let you hide the home navigation bar on the bottom. Love that.
So getting to work, how do we hide the top status bar in the same way as the bottom bar with a swipe to activate on demand?
So far on my quest I have done the following:
Placed the phone in developer mode and allowed USB debuging. Described here in the a PurpleDrake how to guide that I used: http://www.droidviews.com/root-and-install-twrp-recovery-on-t-mobile-lg-g3-d851/
PurpleDrake: Rooted, Installed TWRP, Disable LG Security. http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/root-twrp-root-twrp-tmo-lg-g3-t2821005

Installed G3 TweaksBox and activated the module in the Xposed Framework https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox&hl=en
I have searched and searched google, xda and all the phone settings looking for an easy way to hide the status bar. What am I missing? Can someone please help? I hope this will benefit a lot of people. Thanks :good:
If you download gravity box module for xposed you can put the phone in expanded desktop mode which will hide the status bar

Is that just for the homescreen view or all the time? I'm looking to hide it while in applications. The same way the home nav bar at the bottom hides. Thanks
I use ADB launcher to get the job done.

ADB Launcher allows you to hide the notification bar and create a bottom drawer where you can use folder editor to put in category Icons that when pressed open up a slideable selection bar to select programs stored under that icon. Everything is neat and tidy on mine. No wasted screen space.

Thanks. More that I play with the phone, the more I realize that I actually just want the web browser to go full screen. Just need the status bar to hide when browsing. Don't really want to install an aftermarket launcher.
For other people's benefit, in case anyone else finds this thread that wants to use their phone's full screen. I found a solution that seems to fit the bill. I'm using an app called full!screen that says it's for tablets but seems to work almost perfectly https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tsorn.FullScreen&hl=en
It has a pie menu included so you don't even need the pie app.
I'm looking for a way to make the navigation bar transparent so when in an app like Chrome or YouTube you can see what's on the tab itself rather than the black bar with the navigation keys. I tried using apps that hide the navigation bar but I felt that it added an unnecessary stuff. So what I'm looking for is a way to make the bar transparent but still have the navigation buttons (home, multi function and back buttons) still be accessible. Anyone in know how this can be done? Also, not looking for ways that require root.

I'd like to know this as well. I know you can use Nav Bar Apps (Play Store link) to change the color of the Nav bar based on the app you are using. However, I haven't been able to use it to make the nav bar transparent.
For now, I've enabled full immersive mode and use Pie Control (Play Store link). So I almost never see the nav bar on the bottom of the screen. The only time the bottom nav bar shows up is with the Google Keyboard and I haven't figured out a way to disable that yet.

I basically spent the whole day looking for an answer but the closest I came was a video on how to do it on a LG g3. It requires root though. Can't believe that with all the thin bezels this year, a way hasn't been found. It defeats the purpose to having thin bezels when the navigation bar makes it look like the bezels are huge. Smh
I'd like the same!! I've enabled immersive mode, but when it's enabled, it causes weird locking/unlocking screen issues.

Check the thread where you got the adb command. There is an shell command you can execute and it's fixed the freezes for me.

I use this app and it works great. But, you might want to check the date of the post you're replying to next time. Last response before yours was from two years ago.
DISCLAIMER: This guide was NOT made by me, I'm simply sharing this here because it's really useful IMO.
This is a guide made by reddit user turkcem421, on how to take advantage of this beautiful 18:9 aka 2:1 display.
Here's the link https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg6/comments/7bqy5r/guide_fullscreen_immersive_mode_with_gesture/
And some screenshots...
Very interesting, thank you. I was also looking for a way to do this after playing with a friend's iPhone X and realizing how outdated a navigation bar now feels.
I was on a different path. Instead of enabling immersive mode, my goal is to disable the soft keys entirely. This requires editing build.prop, which requires root, which I can't get on my H870DS. However it seems to be possible to edit it with adb as well, was going to try that next.
EDIT: file system is read-only, doesn't work with adb.
Also, there's an app called Pie Control that can provide gesture navigation controls and is very elegant IMHO. My goal is to use that as a replacement for soft keys.
Hi crabnebula,
Author of the reddit guide here. I actually tried the adb build.prop approach also! It was pretty tough to write it to the system successfully (as you noticed, there are a lot of weird things on the backend of the LG G6 compared to the Nexus phones that I am used to) but eventually I did manage to write it and chmod it by combining a lot of tricks I learned hereHowever it did not have any effect, i.e. the LG G6 ROM does not seem to care about what that line of build.prop says and just shows the buttons anyway. After that failure I ended up figuring out the solution that I put in the guide.
Pie controls looks nice too, I was considering it. There are two things I like about all-in-one gestures though that to my knowledge are not in the others (but I have not checked thoroughly)
1) all in one gestures includes both gesture controls and immersive mode in the same app, and the immersive mode also has a built-in fix to let the keyboard work (see my guide). I don't know another way to have immersive mode with a working keyboard, and it is also really handy that it's all one app, i.e. if for any reason the app crashes or is stopped then the nav bars also come back when the gesture controls stop working.
2) there is an 'alt-tab' functionality, comparable to double tapping on multitasking button. Very handy to do this with a single swipe. I didn't see any other apps that had this (but maybe I did not look hard enough)
@yilun thanks for posting the guide here!
Thank you! The UI looks so much better without the nav-bar and status bar there to interfere. ^^

Thank you for the reddit guide and the further information. I really appreciate that you took the time to share!
Guess I'll give up on the build.prop setting.
After playing with AIO Gestures a little more, I have to agree with you. The combination of features makes it more useful and I actually prefer the way it works when using both the bottom edge and corners to replace the 3 usual soft keys, instead of a pie menu.
The only issue I have is that the phone seems to drop out of immersive mode when returning to the launcher and certain apps, but it's a minor nuisance.
I'm hoping that in a next version of Android and/or in future OEM updates, they are going to introduce native gesture-based navigation, at least as an option. In the meantime, it's great to have an alternative that works without root. Thanks again!
I'm using something like this since 3 weeks. What I've did to get the immersive screen was all in adb code. What is causing the battery drain is Google apps that won't support 18:9 mode so you have to exclude them from immersive. You can still use youtube modded APK (18:9 support) and Chrome beta to get full screen.
The adb code is
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.android.chrome,-com.android.vending,-com.google.android.gm,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
I use aiog too.

You mean revert the whole process?
You can do it one by one manually, but I'd recommend just making a backup and factory resetting.
The other way is extremely time consuming and not very practical at all.

I have set it up correctly but have a few questions. Is op possible to disable the navbar completely everytime i swipe up to go home from the buttom. The navbar shows up and is in the way. And is it possible to disable the white glow on the screen from the all in one gestures app?
To disable glow go to "personalization" > "edge preference" and set "opacity" to 0%.

So if you force immersive this way, you still need to use AIOG with the special settings applied through adb in order for the keyboard to function in immersive mode, or do you only use AIOG for the actual gestures?

Just for gestures. There is no need of touching any setting for immersive on AIOG.
Can't believe how simple that all was. Only thing I couldn't do was the SVC for ls993. Literally no one has it, spend 25 min looking and 5 minutes going through the tutorial.
Only issue I know is that some apps have a very small black sliver on the bottom, is this due to not forcing long display through the SVC? Does anyone know the SVC for ls993???
Either way, the rest works 1000x better than I expected and the battery drain solutions are terrific.
Home screen looks super good too
I know that there are plenty of "swipe gesture navigation" type of apps out there.
Some of the most prominent being XDA's Navigation Gestures, OnePlus Gestures, Sideswipe, etc.
However, I was pointed towards this one (unreleased, in the App Store): "Fluid N.G." https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
I have nothing to do with creating this and am not trying to get any credit or anything; I just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention because it is the most fluid navigation system I have seen with a 3rd party app. I believe one of the OEM's implementation is a lot like this, but I forget which.
It's simple and might not be as powerful as others, but I really like it!
I'm using this too! Great app!

It's an option in this app, must hook up to PC and do the ADB command to grant secure settings
Appears to be essentially the same thing as OnePlus gestures which have a few more options and significantly more customization. However that may be it's a good find, thanks.

Yeah, it doesn't really offer more features than other stuff - however you have to actually use it to understand whats impressive. It's just... really "fluid" (hence the name, I suppose) and feels like a real phone feature instead of a hack.
Regardless, I have no vested interest in it - just wanted more people to know about it so the dev gets credit and/or money and can support it
I'm not invested in either myself. The OnePlus gestures feels just like the real OnePlus gestures, not a hack. I do think I get what you mean by hack because I've used several gestures schemes from exposed and so on and never real found one that was factory in feel. I figured that was why the OnePlus gestures didn't suck, it appears that they straight up kanged the real OnePlus gestures because the experience is indistinguishable. However it may be as long as folks get the joy of getting away from the horrid stock gestures it's all good.

If you are rooted then after activating your replacement navigation app, just add this to /system/build.prop
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
and reboot. The stock nav bar will be totally gone.
So i was trying the xda gestures app and it was meh, but the app in the OP is pretty smooth and simple, straight to the point.
hate the idea that i have to install a 3rd party app to do what my OP6 was doing out of box :\

So here's a interesting situation , using the app in the OP and hiding the navbar from the app, still produces a blindingly white navbar during phone calls. if i edit the build.prop as you suggest would it remove that completely?

Absolutely
I cant figure out how the stock gestures/recents/drawer passed muster. You know they were comparing their work to what everyone else did, Android, Apple, even the mod community where they get a lot of their "inspiration". I don't see any way I'm the executive making the go decision on the mess we were delivered. I do see myself having the person who put the idea on my desk escorted from the building by a couple big goons who were instructed to hit his head on every object between his or her office and the curb on the way out.
OnePlus Gestures app is the best
This is gold. I really enjoy the nav options and being able to hide the bar.
Coming from a OnePlus 6, I actually really like the solution in the OP of this thread better. It's more fluid than the stock gesture navigation on the OnePlus 6 and I love the little bubble that pops up when you perform swipe actions.
Great find OP! Thanks for sharing.
Also, for those having issues hiding the nav bar, make sure you have ADB properly setup on your PC and phone. Then plug your phone in your computer and use your preferred command prompt app to run the following command exactly as it is below:
adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Or, if you're rooted, follow lollyjay's instructions in post #11:

How do I auto show/hide the 3 button nav bar? I could have sworn my phone was doing this but suddenly stopped. I use action launcher. A quick small swipe up would make the nav bar appear, that or I am losing my mind lol

Maybe it's the dock you are thinking of. I know most launchers are able to hide/show the dock area which is usually right above the navbar. I do miss that ability from my old LG V30 and V20. I'm sure there is probably a way to do this on pixel 3 but I haven't looked into it yet.
That sounds like immersive mode.
Settings>System>Gestures>System Navigation>Gesture Navigation. It works with third party launchers now, but after you activate it, you have to go into your launcher's settings and select default launcher. If you don't, it will keep reverting to the stock launcher. It won't show the buttons at all anymore, you just use the gestures.

Hello,

If you are rooted, you can just go in the app and enable the option. If you are not rooted, you'll have to open a command prompt and issue:
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Good luck...

Hello,
I don't know if action launcher can trigger immersive mode. Dis you run a custom ROM?

Settings>System>Gestures>System Navigation>Gesture Navigation. It works with third party launchers now, but after you activate it, you have to go into your launcher's settings and select default launcher. If you don't, it will keep reverting to the stock launcher. It won't show the buttons at all anymore, you just use the gestures.

Try SystemUI Tuner on the play store. No root but requires adb commands.

Hello,
I'm using Nova Launcher. If you don't mind the status bar a little bit during browsing, etc... I hide it using Nova on desktop. If I didn't, I had somee apps, which menus on top left of the screen got hidden once the status bar disappeared. Didn't have that issue with a notchless device (Pixel 1 XL).
Cheers...
Sébastien.
