So, maybe I am late to the party but read recently about opening the UI Tuner for 7.0. Long press the settings button from the status bar pulldown menu.
I was excited b.c I thought you could modify the navigation bar with it, but that option is not available with Z Play Droid. But it does allow for setting notification importance.
You actually have to enter some commands into adb in order to modify the nav bar via system tuner. The alternative is to use this app, which simplifies the setup but works identically to the system tuner method.

Awesome, Thanks.

I have the non-developer edition RAZR M, but I have root. I am looking to remove the navigation bar from the bottom of the screen, to ultimately increase screen size. I have done some searching around other forums and other devices where this has been done, and it seems the files to change might be located in the SystemUI.apk. Can anyone confirm this? Also, without having a custom recovery, will it be able to make these changes by simply replacing the files through either root explorer, or adb, rather than needing to create a flashable zip? Any guidance on this mod would be appreciated, and I would love to share something like this with the wonderful XDA community.

Since the Razr M doesn't have hardware buttons for home, multitask, etc how would you navigate? I've seen some apps that temporarily hide the navigation bar when playing fullscreen movies, etc.

There is a navigation bar launcher called LMT. It's extremely customizable and even allows for changing long press options. Check it out here:

I use GMD Gesture Control:

Not only can you have gestures to go back / home etc, but you can have a gesture to hide & show the navigation bar and have access to the full screen. The only downside I've seen is when the navigation bar is hidden, incoming calls don't display properly, and you need to show the navigation bar before accepting the call. Make sure you have the navigation bar enable itself when turning off the screen so call notifications will work properly.

This is a root app that is super stable and though it says "for tablets" it works fine on our phone.
It allows you to hide the status and nav bars through a super customizable corner pie.
The paid versions adds the ability to enable/disable the bars automatically on a per app basis.

Ninjamorph for the first one... Second is done in the systemui.apk.
As the title says, I want to use Tasker to hide my status bar, and temporarily reveal it when my finger is over the proximity sensor. The sensor part of it works fine but I can't find a method of toggling the status bar that Tasker can use.
I've tried:
-The native status bar option in Tasker which doesn't seem to work on this device
-SystemUI actions: I can use the SecureSettings Tasker plugin to run activities. Which means I can toggle the navigation bar fine but the status bar does not seem to be an option
-Hiding the status bar in Apex launcher only: I can add a shortcut to it on my homescreen but Tasker doesn't seem to be able to call Apex actions. I'd prefer not to use this method as it would only work on the launcher
Essentially what I'm looking for is an app that toggles the status bar and has an activity that I can access through Tasker, that lets me toggle it.

Thanks in advance for any help!
I know this is probably not what you want, but with Nova Launcher you can hide the status bar and assign a simple gesture to toggle it.
I've now got it working with the Apex actions using a different plugin but as I said it only works on the homescreen. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply... You're right in that it's not what I'm aiming for, I can do the same on Apex but it's less fluid than using the sensor. I also want a system-wide kind of thing that will work everywhere rather than just the homescreen.
If you have the "expanded desktop" option in your rom, you can use an app called "Locale", with a plugin called "Secure Settings", to trigger the expanded desktop by turning the phone facedown. That may not be quite what you're after, so another thing you can try is an app called GMD GestureControl. I'm pretty sure that has a fullscreen option in it.

I've tried GMD, but it's too laggy. Secure Settings works on Tasker as well as Locale but the expanded desktop feature isn't there.
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/

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 have tried to do this via the Settings -> Buttons, but it is not working for me per specific apps. What I want to do is completely hide the NavBar when Nova Launcher is present. Is this possible?
Use something like edge gestures? Takes 5 minutes to get used to and then you can just hide it full time everywhere.
For hide NavBar in specific apps i'm using app "SystemUI Tuner". This app work without root and can set Immersive Mode for every different app. Please attentively read instruction of activations of the program. Unfortunately specific MIUI do after every restart device you need start SystemUI Tuner and in Immersive Mode push option "Navigation Bar", for make work it again. But this is not so hard. Also this app can do without root switch off warning message about Headphone Volume.

As I'm not on MIUI, I can't test it. But will it work if you toggle start on boot permissions on in settings? MIUI turns them off by default. I had this issue with LMT launcher.
I use Navigation Bar Hider.

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,
I don't know if action launcher can trigger immersive mode. Dis you run a custom ROM?
If you wish, you can enable immersive on Android 10 and bellow with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner
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...
Sébastien.

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.
