Hello,
For one that still prefer original stock and want to hide navigation bar per app this https://github.com/TsFreddie/EssentialLayoutWhitelist is what I suggest.
Work charming.
Thank to @TsFreddie.
do you have more details on this? does it require ROOT to work?
Looks like this doesn't do anything all the non-root or root options on the play store do. Just download one of those, it will be easier for you.

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.
hey guys
As you know there is an auto hide option for the taskbar in windows that would hide it when its inactive
I was wondering if there is any similar option\app to hide the status bar in our phones, without root, so the status bar would hide when not needed and when we need it, we can swipe it down.
I have googled it and I think its called immersive mode
any ideas?

As far as I know that feature can only be used with xposed or custom roms. So no, there is no option to use it without root.
Nova Launcher provides ability to hide notification bar but not sure if root is needed.

I found an app (GMD) that doesn't need root, but actually its focus is on navigation bar rather than the status bar, so I didnt like it.
anything else?

My bad. I only thought about solutions which keep the sense launcher.
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.

This works for me. On my Pixel 2 XL. I'm rooted on Android 10.

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.
Hello everyone. Good morning guys, We already know that it is not possible to completely remove the status bar without root or through third party programs. It's really frustrating that you use apps or games with a dark bar at the top and you can't enjoy the full screen. Samsung really is very dumb not to give the user the option to choose how they want to use their own phone. So I'm seriously thinking about rooting the device, but I wonder if it's really possible to hide the bar in root mode.
thank you all for your attention
No it's possible,try to use immersive mode manager from playstore
