Has anyone found a way to completely disable the navigation bar so that it does NOT appear when you swipe up from bottom? (with root)
Some time ago with Nougat it was possible to add a line to build.prop but this does no longer work with the S9 and Oreo....
The best way for me so far
I tried almost all app to remove and replace the navigation bar for my Samsung S9 but all of them facing serval crop screen and app UI issue. For example Samsung Internet new tabs alignment, Crop grey backgound when windows popping up (I will attache screenshot below.)
And now I think I found the best way so far to fix all these issue
- "Oneplus Gestures" is best one for me for the alternative app to replace the navigation bar because not like others, the pill of this app is always at the bottom (not shift) and it work on overlays app (ex: FB messenger)
- "Hide Nav Bar" is the app that I choose to remove the native nav bar but for now it has some issue which cropping some app and I have solution for that. You have to enable global immersive mode then exclude the apps that cropped. So far I found these apps need to exclude: Smart Capture, Edge Widget, Instagram, Gallery. By filter immersive mode for these app you could use "Immersive Mode Manager" app or just write this adb command
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.samsung.android.app.smartcapture,-com.samsung.android.app.widgetedge,-com.instagram.android,-com.sec.android.gallery3d
- Not finish yet, the fix other UI issue (Samsung Internet, Gallery) you need to use "Routines" app belong to Good Lock 2018 app to use Samsung Hide Nav Bar for Samsung Internet and Gallery app.
Then enjoy your edge to edge screen with gesture navigation. This work around fix all my issue when remove and replace navigation bar on my S9. If you find other issue feel free to discuss.

My navigation bar have been completely disabled and replaced by gestures and I'm happy

Hello everyone, im a new user of lenovo p2 (Stock rom nougat) and im really happy with all phone features.... except for the camera.
I Like the design and features of the stock camera from p2, but i dont like its stabilization when taking a shot (if you move your hand 0,01mm your photo will be blurred). I Tried some cams apps on the playstore and the only one that gives me what i want (fast shot, simple design, few features to use sometimes, no ads, good quality) is the "Bacon camera". Its very good,but i found a bug in p2 with the screen resolution (not the photo) because of the navigation bar. I dont like the nav bar so i use fingerprint gestures and keep the bar hidden. but when i open the camera with the bar hidden (always) it add a black stripe on the screen and "flats" the image preview (when the picture is taken its ok). Im downloaded this camera yesterday and i think it wasnt bugged before (not sure), but then i downloaded a lot of cams apks and the bacon start bugging. I did hard reset today and problem persists.
Img 1 : "Flat screen"
Img 2: Opening camera with nav bar on
img 3: Removing the nav bar after img 2 (how it should be in img 1)
I dont know if its the app or my phone, if someone could download the app to test i would appreciate!
other questions:
- Will deodexed stockn allow me to turn the nav. bar of permanently? (so i could use fp gestures plus gestures from below the screen)
- There is any camera apk simple and good like the stock (with working features), but with better quality and stabilization? I dont know if its hardware o software, but when i take a picture in "CamScanner", for example, the preview quality is good, but when the shot is taken the picture become blured.....
Thanks and sorry for the long post!!

Hi,
I've hidden the nav bar by adb and it works perfect in almost all apps, except with spotify and a few others where appears an empty space in replace.
I wonder if anyone knows how to force these apps onto full screen mode
If anyone knows any tip please feel free to coment below

Btw I used this adb command to hide the navigation bar (no root needed):
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-138
(remember to install and configurate the gestures app first)
Hi. I use Fluid Navigation Gestures and found the nav bar using the adb command.
Fluid Navigation Gestures is awesome, I love it

Hi,
Just try to activate immersive-mode for your specific app?
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=COM.YOUR.SPECIFIC.APP
Tips:
immersive.full: hides the status bar on top of the screen and the navigation bar on the bottom, if your phone uses virtual navigation buttons. This is what most people want when they think of a fullscreen app.
immersive.status: hides only the status bar on top.
immersive.navigation: hides only the navigation bar on the bottom.
How do you disable this adb command when you want your nav bar back??

Thread title, really.
I've missed immersive mode on my 7 Pro ever since I got my 9 Pro, there wasn't any time I would ever turn it off on my 7 Pro and it's why I'm keeping it on Android 10. But Android 11 lacks immersive mode so I can't use it on my 9 Pro. I fear burn in so I've had my status bar permanently hidden (set to 0px) and I just bring it down with a gesture when I need to view notifications.
But even though the status bar is 0px, all my apps still know the holepunch is there and push the content below the holepunch / make a black bar above the holepunch. Is there any setup that you guys know of that ignores the holepunch? Bonus points of its on a per-app basis. I know Samsung phones can use Good Lock to accomplish this, and it's crazy that a phone that doesn't even need root can accomplish this but I can't seem to find a solution for my phone with an unlocked bootloader lol.
But yeah, I really just want a way to force apps to ignore the holepunch. Anything?
G-Visual mod!

That's what I'm using to force my status bar to 0px. Unfortunately the whole ignore holepunch thing doesn't seem to work on OOS11. Unless you found some way?
Did you enable this in Dev Settings? It appears when you are using G-Visual mod

Yeah, but even after enabling, it only affects the status bar and no other app. Even in your screenshot, I can see your settings app pushed considerably below where your status bar is. Seems like a true immersive mode is just impossible on Android 11
Oh sorry I misunderstood you, the G-Visual mod makes the app go full screen (with status bar) in portrait mode.
Hello all!
So basically i want this:
1st - I want this notification bar with all its icons to Auto-Hide ALWAYS, and show up only when i swipe it down,
and than after set amount of time to auto-hide.
2nd - I want this navigation bar at the bottom to also Auto-Hide ALWAYS also, and when i swipe UP to be shown,
and than after set amount of time to auto-hide.
1st 2nd

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So that's basically it.
How can i achieve that?
P.S.
So i am about to get my new phone "Samsung Galaxy A22 (4G)" in about 5 days, so i want to prepare for it.
Im buying glass protection, mask (something like this) and also, since its an AMOLED (OLED) screen, and It's known that OLED screens can get burn-ins,
(my other OLED phones already have burn-ins in some form or another) so i want to take care of it as much as i can, as i always did, but
what i noticed is that burn-ins on my previous devices are from navigation and notification bars mostly...actually ONLY from those two!
So i was thinking on removing those two to auto hide them.
There is a partial solution since i use NOVA launcher prime, it can hide notification bar but only
from home screen.
Whenever i'm in any other application it's shown again, unless that aplication it self hides it and go full screen, like youtube in full screen for example.
I want it to always be hidden unless i swipe it to be visible. Same with navigation bar. I want clean screen and only on demand bars.
Plus, i want it in generan even if its not OLED but more so with OLED!
Now here's the thing, i cant find a solution! I thought its a simple thing or that there is an option in settings,
but there is none. I also tried some play store apps, but they dissable keyboard and back button. Some even say i need to enable permission
by entering command from PC and so on... i dont wanna get some malware or whatever on my phone.
I came here for some elegant, simple solution without so many steps, and even if some permissions are needed i feel more comfortable you guys telling me i can safely do that than some sketchy app or tutorial online.
Thanks in advance guys!
I am a new s22 user, I have turned off all animations in the developer settings, all animations are turned off except when you swipe up from the bottom in any open app to go to the home screen, the app screen does a little animation and shrinks into the app icon. it's pretty annoying. it only happens in gesture navigation mode, if you change it to the button navigation bar, pressing the home screen button at the bottom shows no animation. does anyone else experience this? I did all sorts of searches online, but the results are not consistent, it feels like it's a problem related to the android 12 rather than Samsung and many pixel phones have the same issue.
If you want traditional virtual buttons, Galaxy store>Goodlock family of apps>Navstar
One Handed Operation plus is another Good Lock app that allows dozens of swipe gestures switches from the right/left sides. Very customizable and uses almost no battery.

All stock N10+ using the above options. Edge is also active and can be used in conjunction with One Handed Operation plus.
doesn't really answer my question though, do you have s22/android 12 phone? would you be able to confirm for me even all the animations are turned off in the developer setting, the back-to-home/minimize app gesture still shows annoying animation? thanks kindly to anyone who can confirm this for me (so that I know it's a system problem rather than a problem with my phone/software)

Yes this seems to be OS level. I get the same behavior on both my S22 Ultra and Tab S7; both running Android 12. I use Microsoft Launcher on both, so it's not a OneUI (at least I don't think it is) feature. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off. At least not without digging in to the OS.
