hide navigation bar

Hi
Want to hide my navigation bar?
Any suggestions on how to go about it?

I would like to know this as well. AMOLED screens scare me.

I think "pie control" does not require root.

I'm using swipe navigation, that's the reason i want to hide it.
Save the extra screen space

https: // play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive (remove spaces)
I use this and highly recommend it for apps not requiring the keyboard much. Reason for this is that the keyboard will not appear while in full screen mode unless you swipe up, bring back the navigation keys, and then tap in the fillable field again. Otherwise it's the perfect app for long bouts of scrolling in apps like most reddit clients, twitter, google+, etc.

Power Toggle also has a quicksetting tile option for immersive mode im using nova launcher and i dont know if it's intentional or not but they have the option to make the navigation bar transparent. Give "Navbar app" a shot i think they have an option for a transparent bar as .

Where is the option in Nova launcher to make the nav transparent?

If you go under "Look and Feel" there should be an option that says "Hide notification", transparent, and dark. I tbought this was only fir the notification bar on the top but it instead made the navigation bar on the horrml

I pulled the build.prop file via adb but can't seem to push it back after editing cuz i can't adb from recovery.

Hey,
So, screen burn in is definitely a concern of mine as well. I am well versed in AMOLED burn in going all the way back to the Droid Incredible and Verizon Fascinate days. From what I remember, it largely has to do with the black areas of the screen (notification bar, nav bar) not having any pixels being exercised. So, in essence, the rest of the screens pixels age (or burn in) creating that effect. Static images also burn in (nav bar buttons... Also concerning). I noticed somebody posted an app to change the nav bar colors with each app that's opened. Would this not prevent burn in as well as those pixels are now getting equally exercised along with the rest of the screen (with the colors changing too... Their being no static image)?
Just curious.

I edited the build.prop but I get system UI force close when I restart. Any ideas on how to stop that from happening? I want to use lmt launcher. Can't stand the nav bar.

easiest way to hide navigation bar is with Tiles app, with the imersive mode toggle. Doesn't require root either. Just an adb command to provide a certain permission.

I used terminal and "settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*" command and I now have a stable phone. I hope an option to permanently disable the navbar will come along like the qemu line in build.prop

You used this after doing that qemu line in build.prop right? So basically two steps, one to make the nav bar go away, with the build.prop method and then the second one in terminal to get rid of the Force Close pop ups after a reboot? Am I right?

No, just the terminal command. If I change the build.prop I get system Ui force close. Unfortunately haven't figured out how to stop the fc pop ups. I just put the navbar in permanent immersive mode.

Well that's great then. I am gonna try this out. If this terminal command makes it go away permanently and doesn't cause that FC issue then its better than the build.prop edit right? :laugh:

Hey mate how to revert to old settings? I ran that command and it hides the navigation bar, but it still comes up when I swipe from bottom, which is annoying as I use GMD and I don't need it to come up at all. So I guess I'll go with the build.prop method, but just wanna know how to revert to old settings in Terminal.

Hide navbar only on Nova?

Possible? If so, help please lol
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

there is. I can't seem to figure out how to link in the xda app here, but goto the apps forum and look for a thread on immersive mode via adb... theres a command to hide on a per app basis.

It's an option in Nova under Look & Feel.

Hide navigation bar towards the bottom.
Maybe it is not an option on the XL? Already sent mine back so cannot check.

Looks like not. I just checked on mine (Nova Prime, current stable version) and no hide nav bar or hide clock as shown in jpasint's screenshot.

My bad, sorry. I am subscribed to so many threads in a few different forums and I didn't realize this thread was in the Pixel forum when I originally replied.
This option is not in Nova on my N6 but it is available on my Note8.

Steps to make it happen:
1. Enable Developer Settings by mashing the Build Number in the About Phone section of Settings
2. Enable USB Debugging
3. Connect to a PC
4. Enter commands as follows based on exactly what you want:
Hide Navbar and Statusbar in Nova
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
Hide only the Navbar in Nova
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
Hide Navbar and Statusbar in Nova and another app
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=com.teslacoilsw.launcher,com.otherpackagename
Hide Navbar and Statusbar in all apps
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
You can probably see the pattern. You can have immersive mode hide the Navbar, Statusbar, or both, and enter apps manually by package name or enable for all with the *.

Nothing to see here.

Hello,
Thank you very much for this tips. The bad thing is that Nova keeps a free space where the navbar was. Do you know a workaround for this? I'm under Oreo 8.0.0

Have you tried "Navigation Bar Hider" from the Play Store? No root required. Just a simple ADB command. I have the navbar hidden only in Nova. Seems to work the way you want it to.

With Dirty Unicorn and AquariOS you can hide the Nav bar per app. I chose to hide the Nav bar for nova launcher and nova launcher prime only with DU and it worked. Everything else still shows the nav bar.

I don't know a workaround. I completely disable the Navbar and use a pie control on my device, so I can't do any quick debugging on the immersive mode.

Which pie control? I'm testing fooview nowadays. @RoccoN4 Thank you for the Navigation Bar Hider tip but it gives the same as the adb command. Nevertheless, it is useful.

There is a setting for navigation bar color in Nova that needs to be set to translucent. Immersive mode is likely working and Nova is screwing it up.

Gestures instead of navigation bar on OP5T

Hi.
Got my OP5T 4 days back..
Does anyone in the forum know if we can use only gestures instead of virtual navigation buttons like iPhone x..coz I hate how it consumes space at the bottom..
Previously I was using all in one gestures to control my volume in OP3.
Thanks,
Shyam
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

I would love if it had the same gestures as the iPhone X.

All in one gesture, and if u go down to the themes and apps portion of this forum there is a post that shows u how to hide the navigation bar

Dunno if this is what you're looking for, but on my previous device I used the app "J Touch" from the Play Store as my navbar replacement+. Haven't got my 5T yet, but i intend to load it up immediately as I, too, dislike losing that precious real estate.

Using All In One Gesture and disabled the nav bar using Substratum's Navbar Height Changer theme (requires root).
Works like a charm. No more hitting the home button when missing the keyboard space bar!

I'm doing the same but it breaks the power menu I've found. It does a soft reset instead of bringing up my reboot options. At least I think that's what's happened.

Same here, but I installed the Reboot app to fix this.

Thanks guys! I hid my navbar, and installed All in one gestures. This is nice

I use swipe navigation for gestures. But I cannot for now hide the navigation bar permanently. For infos, I'm not rooted.

How is it?
It won't launch without the location permission for advertising purposes.

I'm now running xposed to disable the navbar, but of course that triggers safetynet...
I'd really appreciate if someone could help finding a way to disable the navbar without xposed and the reboot breaking subtratum theme I would be extremely grateful!

Gravitybox!
In 'navigation bar tweaks' turn on the master switch and then turn 'enable navigation bar' off.
It should work fine after a reboot!

I combined 0 nav bar height with LMT https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
and swipe navigation https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation&hl=en

You can also bind navigation actions like back, home, recent to an edge menu like Swiftly Switch. (no root or xposed required) Though you do have to enable permissions like drawing over other applications.

All of these solutions seem kinda messy and require rooting. Is there no clean way to do this without modding my phone?

Navigation Bar

Is there any way to have the navigation bar show or hide based on the app? For example I could set it to automatically hide when I open Chrome (still swipable from the bottom of the screen) but always have it show when using an app where I'm not concerned about filling the screen such as Calculator. I'm coming from the LG V30 and really liked this feature on that phone.

Any option/chance to completely disable de navigation bar to use a custom one like that (XperienceZ) recommended before, without having to have one over the other. I want to disable the default navbar.

I'd like to know how to move the back button (on right) and switch it to the left. I've gotten used to that setup on my LG

How to remove/hide Navigation bar for Immersive Mode without root ?

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.
