So i really liked on the Galaxy s8+ how the nav bar woukld disapear until i swiped up to bring it back. about the only think i like about Samsung software.
I have seen several posts about using ADB commands and an app to get the same function on a Pixel 2 XL.
Is there a really simple guide someone can point me to? (no root) I never mess with ADM commands or anything like that.
Also i have read on several apps that do this on the play store but mess with the keyboard. Anyone have any experience there?
Thanks in advance.
There's an app on the Play store called custom navigation bar that's what I used to switch my nav key and immersive mode.
App is made by Paphond
in the apps section of this forum there's instructions for immersive mode via adb...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/how-to-enable-true-immersive-modes-t3554299
It's super easy. I also suggest installing Pie Control (Play Store link) to move the pop-out nav bar to the left or right side, making it much easier to use one handed.
Using custom nav bar and pie control on my 2xl. I can't seem to get immersive mode on stock dialer while I'm on a call. Anyone else getting this?

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.
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.
Hi, we all know about the bug that cuts the volume control on horizontal view when hiding navigation bar. But I have see a bug referred to notifications when hiding navigation bar with any app with adb permissions,in not rooted devices.
When you have the navbar hide and you enter some app from the notification (f.e. Telegram) you can see the notification on the notification bar until you get down the notification bar again.
This bug happens only when you have switched on the navbar hiding, independent from any gestures you have installed.
This bug is detected by the Zuknormales group.
Sorry for my poor English.
I can confirm. Same bug here on stock Android.
Anyone know of a fix?
I have these issues as well (volume setting cut off in landscape mode & notifications not automatically dismissing immediately after I open them). I've tried using various applications like XDA Gesture Navigation and Fluid NG to hide the navigation bar in hopes of a different result but they all have the same issues.
Currently using Fluid NG on Pixel 2 XL.
These are not "bugs". These are the results of messing with the system in a way that's not intended.
On that note I use an app called Fluid NG for gestures and hiding the NAV bar and have no such problems.

On another note, nearly all of us in the Fluid Navigation Gestures group on Telegram have the same issue and in fact the dev is working on it for his app.

And that's fantastic that the dev is looking into a fix. But, it still doesn't change my original point that this is NOT a bug as you're still messing with the system in an unintended way. Especially using a PC with ADB commands.
Try adding this to your build.prop file: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
I didn't have any more notification issues then. (but still have the keyboard jumping for a split second when opening which drives me a bit crazy all the time)
HI there,
Is there any method to hide or remove navigation bar on Pixel 2 XL so that apps and videos can be displayed on full screen ..I am not rooted and running stock android pie. I have tried "GMD full screen immersive mode " as well as "XDA Navigation gestures controls" and even though they removed the navigation bar but there is still empty black bar there so app and videos players cannot be used in full Immersive Mode . Is there any way to make them hide like galaxy s8/s9 where navigation get hide when app are using display and you can bring it back if swipe up from the bottom
Thanks

Edit. My bad. Need root for this method.
Use FNG: Google Play
You just need to grant one permission via adb from your comp.
Francisco did a good job so far - it is at RC3 at the moment.

Ok thanks
will try and report how it work
Is there a way to get clear all instead of closing individually?
Not that you ever really need to clear all recents for any reason on this device, but the button is all the way to the left in the recents screen.

If you use 3-button navigation the Clear All option isn't there, you have to swipe each one away individually, but if you use 2-button navigation the option is on the far left (can't speak for gesture navigation, I can't use it as I have Nova because I can't give up my unread count badges). Threw me off to until I figured it out. I know it isn't necessary, but I like to clean out the list once in a while just to make it easier to use. I don't know if this was purposely done or a simple oversight, but it's keeping me on 2-button navigation for now even tough I prefer 3-button navigation.
