hide nav bar

Hi,
I have update my oneplus 5t with the latest official android 8.1, and the nav bar does not hide automatically anymore after the update it hide. (I don't remember if it's a android or nova feature).
Do you know where is the settings to enable the hide of navbar?
Thanks.

I reply to me because I found where it is.
go to settings, bottons, navigation bar & gesture and choose hide the nav bar

Does anyone know anything about this?
Because I went to; Settings > Buttons > Navigation bar & gestures > Hide the navigation bar - marked it
But this is only hiding it while I'm in the Settings.
I thought this is going to hide it always even while at the HOME screen?

After installing app, you need to give it permission by adb, use command: adb shell pm grant jp.sakeapps.immersivesettings android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Don't care for any 3rd party apps, but thanks anyways...
For now I'm just using "Navigation Gestures" and quite liking it, at least it hides the nav bar too...

Disable or auto hide nav keys

Is it possible to disable navbar keys so I can use like the auto hide feature??

Yes, it is possible. You can do it by running an ADB command. I don't remember, but you can google "ADB command to hide nav bar on Android" or something similar.
Unfortunately, when I tried this on my phone, it started having a delay to wake up after pressing the power button.

How to hide gesture bar while still being able to swipe between apps (no root).

If you hide the gesture bar, it disables the ability to swipe between apps. But with a single ADB command to hide the bar and STILL be able to swipe between apps:
./adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-39
To revert the change, use
./adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
What this does is pushes the bar down off the screen, effectively permanently hiding it (until you revert it)—but the functionality of the bar remains intact as if it were still there.
*Note: this has the effect of "pulling" the UI elements down by the same amount which would normally appear on the bottom of the screen, e.g. the hide keyboard button, switch keyboard button, lockscreen shortcuts, etc. They are all still visible and functional, just shifted down by 39 pixels.
You're welcome!!

For total newbs, here's a quick rundown of how to set up ADB for your device. Trust me it's much simpler than it looks:
PART ONE—Getting ADB on your computer
1. Download the Platform Tools from Google.
2. Unzip it.
3. Start a command prompt or terminal from the new platform-tools folder that step 2 created.
- On Windows, this means opening the platform-tools folder and then holding shift and right clicking and opening a powershell (or command prompt or whatever option you get)
- On Mac, this means open the terminal (cmd+space > terminal), type cd and then drag the platform tools folder onto the terminal and then press enter (basically, cd changes the directory of the terminal, and dragging the platform-tools folder tells it that's where you cd'ing to), then press enter. (cd > drag folder > press enter)
4. That's it. You're now able to do ./adb and ./fastboot commands. If any posts online tell you to type adb, use a ./ in front of the adb. Same with fastboot. There's a separate process to avoid having to type the ./ but it's frankly more work than it's worth IMO.
PART 2—Making your phone allow ADB
1. Go to settings > about phone > software information
2. Tap "Build number" 7 times
3. Go back one page, at the top search "usb debugging" and enable the option
4. Plug your device into your computer and go past your lockscreen
5. In the terminal in platform-tools, type
./adb devices
6. This will trigger a popup on your phone asking you to allow. Accept this popup.
7. Now you can run ./adb commands for your specific device.

Hmm, I don't have the gesture bar at all (it's one of the first things i disabled) and i didn't need adb to do it. Are you using the Android 10 gestures or Samsung?

I don't know also if you mean the gesture bar from Samsung that takes a little line of space in every app. But it is still possible to switch between apps, I wrote this to another guy with that kind of problem:
"It's still possible to swipe between apps but it's more difficult because you don't have the line for orientation. You have to slide up very gently and then left or right."
Sure with the bar it is really flawless, but still possible without. Just needs to be pushed little bit up and then swiping apps is possible.

Sorry I should have been more clear. With this command, you can still swipe left and right to switch between apps. The toggle in settings forces you to do a new arching swipe gesture that's pretty bad IMO (and I assume in everyone's opinion, which is why it's not the way iOS does it or any of the Android 10 phones that are copying the iOS gesture).

Hi, tried this but after executing the command the nav bar move but immediately back to its original position.

I use edge gestures app, I find it very useful, you can asign a variety of gesture actions at left, right and bottom, has the switch apps option, it also provides a "pie" control at every edge, give it a try

Display. Navigation bar, full screen gestures + gesture hints. Then swipe on the bottom to move between apps.

This app does the best job for gestures on a samsung device

Don't have the gesture bar, and swiping between apps works just fine...

I don't understand this, my gesture swipe works perfectly fine just hiding navigation bar.

You can also use good luck and 100 operation plus use the hide navigation bar while you're in gestures and you'll have a complete full screen no gesture bar but be able to use all gestures

Thank you for the tip, it's working great.
Was wondering if there is a way to be in gesture mode + navbutton enabled to, in a sort of overlay. That would allow some app to use nearly a fullscreen mode.
I'm acoustumed to use those button as I come from a HTC U11 that have physical button to switch from an app to another and feel unconfortable with the gesture mode to do that

if you are within any app there is double haptic feedback when you open the running apps list (swipe up pill button), is there a way to fix that and make single haptic feedback on this action just as on any other action in the system? seems like two buttons navigation just is not optimized for op8t and/or oos11, so you feel first haptic feedback when you swipe up the pill button and the second one when you release the button, that is a very fast action so you actually feel a "rattling" double feedback, it is very frustrating

Danke! It work with magisk, app ask permission and it work!

Another useful app for this is Physical Button Master Control. This one is an Xposed module so it will need LSPosed or an equivalent Xposed framework. It's more advanced than XPERI+, it can handle all kinds of button patterns (long press, double/triple press etc.), it can do conditions (eg. only react when screen is on), and confirmations (toast, vibration, sound, led).
Unfortunately the latest version 4.3 of PBMC crashes when you try to add external actions (like opening apps, shortcuts, tasker tasks) otherwise it could completely replace XPERI+ for me.
It's still good if you need it to do one of the predefined actions (media controls, flashlight, previous app switch, kill app, wake up the screen or emit custom keys).
I'm using PBMC and XPERI+ together right now until PBMC fixes the external actions. I have PBMC handling the assistant button when screen is off and locked with action "turn screen on", so I can use it to quickly check my lockscreen without unlocking the phone. And I'm using XPERI+ to trigger a Tasker task that takes a screenshot. Since PBMC only reacts when screen is off (due to the condition I specified) and it doesn't let system or XPERI+ get the button click when it does, they don't overlap.
This is better than using XPERI+ alone because pressing the button when screen is off+locked will activate the unlock and then trigger the XPERI+ action (screenshot) and it's impossible to handle this in Tasker because it only receives control after the screen is unlocked. So basically I couldn't check out my lockscreen because the PIN keyboard came up, and I also ended up with a lot of screenshots of the launcher. Having PBMC handle this particular case (screen off+locked) was the solution.

Thank you for the help, but it didn't work for me (Xperia 10III) so I figured out must be doing something wrong...
The phone is not rooted, connected via ADB (FWIW, always use elevated privileges when starting ADB server, you live and learn!) and connection is ok.
I've then uninstalled XPERI+ and reinstalled it (v. 0.7.1) via ADB Shell, and VOILA'! It works.
Hope this helps someone else in need.
Thanks for your hard work guys
