18:9 immersive mode/gesture controls/no root

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 I was also looking for a way to do this after playing with a friend's iPhone X and realizing how outdated a navigation bar now feels.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.

Just like that

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

swapping back and recent buttons does not space properly

Hey, trying to swap my recent and back buttons. I've tried Custom Navigation Bar app, as well as the adb shell command (adb shell settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space").
While both methods (the same, from what I understand) swap the buttons, the buttons are spaced closer together than they used to be. I suppose I can just get used to it, but it looks funny to me. Anyone have a different solution?

Recent, space; Home; Space, back
The 'spaces' have to be swapped in their respective space. At least this is how I remember when in the same sit

That command makes the buttons too far apart. It's weird that these commands can't get the default spacing correct

I think there's space for 5 icons but some require a 'space' within their icon field. What were you using custom navbar app?

Yeah, I tried both custom navbar as well as through adb, but the spacing is off for both. but I believe they basically do it the same way. Interestingly enough, without inverting the recent and back buttons, the spacing gets messed up by custom navbar. It's not a huge deal, just something I noticed
Hopefully Google bakes it into 8.1 system tuner

This method still works worked for me on Android P beta. The gestures work as they should after the swapping the buttons. I left in "recent" in the script. No issues when doing this.

You have to install the ADB and fastboot
plug you phone into your computer
turn on debugging mode
open up a command prompt window in the adb folder on your computer
these are the following commands I used. I did notice if you have small hands you could type ";home;recent,back" and it will put the home icon in the middle and the other two buttons on the right. What ever button you put the semi colons around will be in the center of the screen.
Type
adb shell
settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space"

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I didn't want to start a new one for the same problem... Can anyone tell me if this method works on Pie stock? Do I need to root/unlock bootloader? My phone is almost completely factory, and I love it aside from the back/recent buttons being different than I'm used to.

I looked at that, but the string of bad reviews turned me off of using it. I would much prefer the clean and simple fix that localfinesse highlighted above, if possible.. I may give it a shot even though I'm not rooted, just to see if it works.

I've been using it since I got the phone last year;works great. I am rooted. The only tiny glitch I had was when I switched to using the gesture navigation. After I switched back to the three buttons, the recent menu was gone. However, I went into the app and it appeared again. It works just as it had before.

Just a follow-up for anyone who comes along to this thread later - You CAN do the above method suggested by localfinesse even if you are not rooted. It was easy to just go ahead and do it that way since I would have had to have to use adb commands from the pc to authorize the custom navigation bar app, anyhow. Feels much better now
Edit: I'm on Android Pie final, no root or unlock. All you need is Developer Options opened and USB Debugging enabled.
Follow-up questions: Does anyone know what else can be added in the two extra spaces? Is there a list somewhere? And Is it possible to launch camera from one?

Idk if you can do that with the adb shell command. But you *can* use Custom Navigation Bar without root. It also offers extra left/right buttons, and you can assign functions to those buttons (including launching apps).

The adb shell commands work perfect. Used it on my work pixel 2.

True Immersive Mode w/ Notch

Hello Everyone,...I am asking anyone out there if they have a true immersive mode without losing the notch. I tried the ADB versions that were used in the Pixel XL and the Pixel 2 XL. It makes the notch disappear. If you have a command for True Immersive Mode via ADB? Thanks for you for checking or even trying.

It would be nice if we could get this on a per app basis and in portrait mode. I have been looking, and cant find anything.

Same here. You suggestions are great. Hopefully someone can pitch in or try.

bump on this.
Double Bump and a beer for a no root per app solution.

Only way i've come across for this is "notchbarkiller" from the magisk repo. It takes immersive mode apps and makes them ignore the fact that a notch exists so they fill the space.

If you are rooted and don't mind installing a rom, the AOSiP rom allow you to do a true immersive mode. It looks pretty awesome.
It's in Display --> Display cutout --> Tall Cutout.
You will need an immersive mode app, or do an immersive mode command to allow for the keyboard to work.

Use the xda navigation gestures app with adb permission to hide navbar and make pill transparent. No root required.

Get it to work! I used the XDA Navigation Gesture app.
UPDATE: I used the app and ADB command, just like it was mentioned on this thread. It worked. Thank you so much for the heads up. I am not rooted. It works great on everything system wide.

So you can keep the notch??? Does it have an option to loose the notch in landscape mode?

You only need system ui tuner app from play to accomplish this

I ran fluid nav consistently on my OG pixel XL, and I've ran it on my 3xl since shortly after I got it. I haven't noticed any drain on either device. However, I'm switching up and will be using lmt for navigation instead of fluid ng.

Disable black bar on OxygenOs 10 keyboard -->[ADB]

For those who struggle with this problem on android 10. The black bar on keyboard, you can type this on adb:
--> Start with:
ADB THING:
Windows ADB Setup https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
Enable USB debugging in Developer mode and authorization will pop-up when is connect with the PC.
Open and type in CMD --> adb shell
Then wm overscan 0,0,0,-55 it's better because(-75) may interfere with gestures...
wm overscan 0,0,0,-25 is also good
bar will be gone! . For rooted users you can just type wm overscan 0,0,0,-50 on terminal.
It is ok to set for -50 if there is some problems with the gestures
Default value is 0,0,0,0
thx to @elmarian756

How To Guide How-To Enable Two-Button Navigation on the OnePlus 9 Pro with Android 11!

Hey friends! I don't know about you guys, but I really dislike the latest implementation of Gesture Navigation and the old 3-Button Navigation bar makes me feel like I'm stuck back on Ice Cream Sandwich! It made me really sad when Google forced all the OEMs to ditch 2-Button Navigation. Fortunately, we can now get it back! Even on Android 11!!
You will need USB Debugging enabled on your phone and ADB installed on your computer. You will also need your phone to be rooted with the latest version of Magisk installed.
It's a super easy process and all it takes is installing one Magisk module and an ADB command. I've created two versions of the module, one with the standard height nav bar and another with a shorter one that takes up less space on the display. You can find both versions of the module here: https://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Misc Files/Magisk Modules/Two-Button Navigation
After installing the module, all you have to do is go into ADB and run this command.
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton
Here's a helpful video we recorded that should help you through the process.

Is there any way to bypass the adb command since you're using a Magisk module? Does it persist through reboots? Is there a way to run the command via the su command using a terminal emulator on the device rather than using a pc to issue the adb command?

I'm a noob at Magisk modules and couldn't figure out how to pass the ADB command during the flashing process. I'm hoping I can do a v2.0 and get that in there down the road though!
But yes, it persists through reboots. The only times it will get wiped is if you update your option in Settings, or if you flash a system update.
And I could see a terminal emulator working, I just haven't tried it myself yet.

Lol I totally missed that post! I appreciate him sharing my video! The modules I posted here are different than the one he attached to his post. Same net effect, just more options.

Hey friends! I don't know about you guys, but I really dislike the latest implementation of Gesture Navigation and the old 3-Button Navigation bar makes me feel like I'm stuck back on Ice Cream Sandwich! It made me really sad when Google forced all the OEMs to ditch 2-Button Navigation. Fortunately, we can now get it back! Even on Android 11!!
You will need USB Debugging enabled on your phone and ADB installed on your computer. You will also need your phone to be rooted with the latest version of Magisk installed.
It's a super easy process and all it takes is installing one Magisk module and an ADB command. I've created two versions of the module, one with the standard height nav bar and another with a shorter one that takes up less space on the display. You can find both versions of the module here: https://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Misc+Files/Magisk+Modules/OnePlus+Oxygen+OS+11+-+Two-Button+Navigation
After installing the module, all you have to do is go into ADB and run this command.
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton
Here's a helpful video we recorded that should help you through the process.

OP, in theory, do you think it would be possible to somehow disable onepluses built-in navigation gestures, but keeping the 'hide nav bar' feature that goes along with it? I ask this because, I'd love to use a third party app to do navigation gestures. The built-in gestures have this annoying animation when you swipe up from bottom or swipe from the sides. It's subtle and it's very brief but it's there. And my OCD wants to get rid of it. Fluid navigation gestures for example is very clean and you don't see an animation when you use any sort of gesture navigation. It looks so much sleeker and snappier.

In theory, yes, it is totally possible. I was able to do two different heights for the modules. Somebody could make one that has no height or even one that just never generates. That is beyond my skillset though. So in theory, yes, it is possible. Could I do it? Probably not.

What would be for me a better thing is just to be able to engage the gesture mode for the apps to be in full screen ( without the navbar) but with the navbar button's available too. A sort of weeding between a kingsize display with the usefull part of those buttons that I keep want to use for some reasons

Sorry about that, I must've posted the wrong link. I've updated it in the OP. Thanks!
