The immersive mode works well but is there a way to only hide the navigation bar?
Some of the other apps that I tried disables other apps that help with navigation like All in one gesture, etc when the navigation bar is hidden.
Here is the link for those who need it
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leedroid.shortcutter&hl=en
Edit: Spoke too early. Press and hold gives you the options.
This is a really good app.
Going to purchase it just to show the support.
This is one of the reasons I always rooted phones.. Next is to have GMD gestures but there are alternatives that work ok.

What's the immersive mode like? Can anyone post a screenshot please?

Immersive mode is the one that does not have task bar or navigation bar.
All apps work in total full screen.

Just what the doctor ordered. Good stuff, went premium. Thanks!

Is it easy to revert back since ADB is used? Just uninstall app?

This looks super handy. One question, please: in immersive mode, does the navigation bar temporarily reappear if you tap on the screen?

If u swipe up from the lower edge of the screen it will re appear for a couple of seconds and then goes away.
I have not used the navigation bar for the last 3 to 4 years.. Felt like a wasted space... Always used Gmd gesture control app. But that app is only for rooted devices.
For now I am using all in one gestures. Works quite well.
The screen shot shows the gestures that I have configured

Why not turn on immersive mode using adb? No apps required.

People are you usually trying to give the game/app onscreen more importance. ParanoidAndroid and CyanogenMod both hide the navigation bar too now. You are definitely going in the opposite direction. I have never heard of an app that would make it reappear, why you would you want it too?

i know what u mean, for specific apps that doesn't need to go full screen it would be nice to show status bar
someone should make an app that allow you to manually enables/disables status bar in specific apps would be great

ParanoidAndroid may have that option, since they have the option to force full screen.

In synergies codefire SR15 it is impemented.
If you drop town the upper side of the screen twice in fullscreen, you are able to access into the statusbar.
I really love it, because im always able to use fullscreen and have access to the statusbar.

Any way to have a button on the keyboard that makes the navbar appear?

I like immersive mode and find it much easier to type when in it but the problem is swiping up to make the navbar appear often inputs text that persists when I reopen whichever app I'm in.
Just wondering if there's a way to have a button on the keyboard that either functions as a navbar within the keyboard, toggles the appearance of the status bar/navbar akin to a swipe down or up from the screen edge or simply minimises the keyboard.
Not very interested in using 3rd party keyboards. I like the look and feel of stock/AOSP keyboard so would prefer to keep it for the moment.
Thanks.
When does the keyboard go into full screen mode? I've never seen this happen and always retain nav button functionality. Couldn't you just slide from the top as usual?

I have tasker enable immersive mode for me in some apps. The top of the screen is always so far away. Something at the bottom would be nice.
Maybe do expanded desktop through the power button and back to normal after using the keyboard

Can you tell me how you did that? I also tried that but didn't find a solution.

You need to download Secure Settings. The toggle you need is 'Expand Desktop'. It's easy to just list a load of apps that will toggle this.
Lastly you need to add an exit task to disable immersive mode.

Guide: Getting rid of the navigation bar with out compromising usabilty!

Hey guys, I've found a awsome way to use the s8 without navbar at all! You will have swipe gesture from the bottom of the screen in the same order like there's a navbar with recent, home and back button.
all you need is to install a app called swipe navigation from the play store and give it accessibilty permission install the navbar Disabler (I I'll give the link) and the swipe navigation unlocker on the play store(costs money but definatly worth it).
config the app as you like then just restart your phone.
heres a video for demonstration.

Im using it. Is it me or response time is slower than pressing nav buttons?
If i want to get the navbar back i just delete the app or what?
You can use LMT Launcher as well. I've been using it for years and it always works great. Swipe up from the bottom and you have your buttons. You can customize it however you want to. Here's a screenshot of how I have mine set up.

Yes, you uninstall the app and it goes back to normal
Swipe left or right?
Can you get rid of the annoying vibration?
I have been using this for months. I love it
@Goku1992 Yes, you can simply switch it off in the app settings.

Ok I'm using that one as well. Pretty good. I have Oreo with Substratum and Andromeda installed. Immersive Nav Bar
Anybody know who the dev was for the 0pt.navbar so we could reach out to them possibly?

it's @tytydraco, but he himself still can't make one for Oreo, i don't think it will ever be like 0pt.navbar, at least without root.

I dont with my setup? Theres only ever a black bar when the keyboard pops up. The rest of the time there is zero navbar and I just use gestures. I barely notice I don't have a navbar anymore.

You can adjust the height via the adb. Work perfectly with my swipe gestures. And no useless bar under the keyboard.

I also was trying to find out if this is possible. I tried to enable sticky immersive with adb and it made the top bar black like you were disabling it in the settings menu. I like being able to swipe down to see everything but feel apps could be better using the notch area. I didn't like turning them all off in ui tuner either.

Use the app called immersive mode manager to set modes for apps and make sure you goto your Android settings and enable full screen mode for all apps. This will enable a swipe down status bar when immersive mode is enabled

I tried the app and got it working. The only problem is apps like chrome, Nova launcher still cut off the notch area of the screen. I appreciate the idea. Maybe this will get figured out later down the line.

You can get nova to work by enabling full-screen mode in the phone settings. Unfortunately for some reason Chrome isn't listed on the list of apps, that's why you have the black bar up top.

Got Nova working. I installed Dolphin browser for now until Chrome can be used. I appreciate the help! I had my 5T set up the same way with the sticky immersion.
