i think the title says it all, is there any app out there i can't find to hide status bar in certain apps?
There is an app on the play store called Granular Immersive Mode that will let you choose which apps open in immersive mode. It seems to be updated to work with Oreo now. I just tested it and it seems to be working just fine.

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 Xposed Framework http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
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.
Require ADB or ROOT
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'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 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.
