How to deactivate Nav bar on S8 Oreo to use gesture control (exynos) - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hey everybody,
I searched around a lot for this but couldn't find anything that worked...
Basically I want to use gestures without the nav bar showing up at every upswipe...which it unfortunately does with the built in hide option and all those immersive app stuff.
I came across an 0pt.navbar.apk or something like that which in January seemed to only work for nougat and not oreo....
There doesnt seem to be any other apps/ adb commands/ apk files getting you around rooting
Pls help me guys, thx so much in advance

Guys pls if the answer should be somewhere around here pls send me a link or something thx :good:

I'm looking for the same. I had it on note 8, great. But that apk does not work in oreo and you do not need root. I hope a help with alternative or update of it.

Any new stuff? Maybe a new version of 0pt.navbar.apk? Thx guys

There also is a Magisk Module "Hide Navigation Bar" that works

Yo guys the new XDA app (navigation gestures)presented in yt does not work for Samsung experience android 8.0... Ma bar still keeps showing at upswipes.... Is there still no option to disable it and not only hide it?? I mean Samsung already has that hiding built in so you get more screen real estate... But at an up swipe it comes back which makes is it kind of an unsuitable solution for gestures.. Pls help- thx

Hiding the status Bar with Root

Good day to ya'all
I would like to hide my status bar within every app (Specifically the browser),yeah i heard a lot about immersive mode, but what it does it also disables the soft keys and keyboard. Which disrupts my workflow. I am currently running Darklord's N5 RC 2.1, and the option to hide the status bar for samsung's internet browser is missing, which is a bit of a downer as my stock lollipop rom had this option, are there any alternatives? I also have a phobia with AMOLED burn ins that is why i would have wanted it to hide the status bar as many times as possible.
Any suggestions?
Hmmm
1. It's forbidden to bump your thread in less than 24 hours.
2. Why not do some searching on your own instead of being impatient and waiting for someone to spoon feed you.
@Dejan Sathanas, ive been looking for a thread, but as stated, I want to know if there are other methods rather than using immersive mode

Hi everyone, is there any way to mark a notification as read when swiping it? I have goodlock and root.

Thanks!

Android Oreo Can't disable navigation bar

Hey guys i've updated my device to android oreo but now i can't disable the navigation bar with the build.prop method which worked in the recent android versions.
If i add the "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" line to the build prop my device screen stays black and the phone reboots after some seconds.
Is there another way to fully disable the navigation bar? I want to use pie controls so the global immersive hack is no option for me..
Thanks in advance
Agree. I'd love to know how to disable it.
Hey there,
Did you find any solution yet?
Currently on Oreo Beta and in just 30 minutes i hate the navbar already...
Anything?
Pls can somebody give a valuable answer

Navigation Bar disapeared when getting rid of Navigation Gesture App on my Galaxy S8

Hello world~
I've been trying your XDA's Navigation Gesture on my Samsung Galaxy S8 (which is great ) but for some random reasons, it stopped working; like the pill was still here and I still could do the movement but it had no effect at all... so I thought just reinstalling the whole app thing would fix the bug... but no, it didn't! Instead, the Navigation Gesture still doesn't work and my initial NavBar just disappeared (Idk how to get it back). So now I have 2 problems! Can someone please help fix my phone, it getting really annoying.
Thx by advance.
To get the nav bar back disable hiding the nav bar and re enable it from the app
But first use root or adb to give it permission

So I need first to give all permission back (including adb one) before disabling `hide navbar` and then I can delete the app?

I have seen the notification somewhere while enabling the gesture which says "Remember to unhide the navigation bar before uninstalling". Install the app, give the app permissions, unhide the navigation bar, and then install the app.

Immersive option with rooted device?

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 attentionIs
This should help:
