We don't need ROOT.
All we need is a PC and adb.
1. Go to google play and downlaod SWIPE NAVIGATION
Follow instructions and let everything work.
After setting this up you will still be getting Nav Bar when you swipe from bottom of screen.
2.Go to Google Play and install XDA's NAVIGATION GESTURES app.
Follow the instructions and run the app.
Go to settings and slide all the bars to left.
By doing this you will be hiding Nav Bar permanently and using gestures like oneplus.

So I used GMD in the play store to disable the navigation bar on my S8+ to further enjoy the infinity screen but now I have a gap at the bottom of my dock where it used to be. (See image) I am using nova prime as my launcher. Anyway to get rid of this gap?
try setting Nova launcher as Full screen in phone Settings > Display > Fullscreen apps
Thanks for the suggestion but didn't work.
Android is still trying to take into account the navbar even if it isn't there. I'd image it some systemUI app setting or something else within the OS.
I have mine setup to be immersive all the time and all launchers I've tried act the same. Not much of an issue for me.

Best to use the manual ADB way. No gaps
Use Shortcutter, which has an Immersive Mode switch that goes in the quick settings.
Then enable it to write settings via adb command:
Code:
adb shell pm grant com.leedroid.shortcutter android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Then, in the Configure Services/Tiles tab, in the Immersive Mode section, select "Show Mode Selector". This makes it so every time you select Immersive Mode, it will allow you to pick between hiding nav bar only, hiding status bar only, or hiding both. The benefit of using Shortcutter is that you get that switch in quick settings, so you can switch between having both bars, either one, or neither at any time (such as when you hand the phone to a friend and they can't figure out how to use the phone ).
Personally, I select to hide both, and use a notifications widget on my desktop to look at notifications, and enjoy a huuuge display for everything I want to read or chat.
Examples:
desktop - notifications go in the blank space in the middle
browser
First of all, it's important that this mod isn't for everybody, because it hides the status bar as well, to fill the entire 18.5:9 screen with content. It looks very immersive, as if the entire front side of the phone is display, because the top bezel is about as thick as the status bar would be, and the bottom bezel is about as thick as the navigation bar would be. I don't find the status bar to contain any info that I need to view all the time, if I want to view the time, battery percentage or notifications, I'll just slide down from the top to show the status bar.
I've added the TouchWiz launcher as an exception, because even if the status bar and navigation bar are hidden, the empty area where they would be stays there. View attached screenshot 1 to see what this mod looks like in-app, and screenshot 2 to see what it looks like on the home screen.
Steps:
1.Install ADB, and open the ADB terminal. Steps to install are here: https://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
2. When you have opened the terminal and connected your phone in USB debug mode, enter this code to the terminal, and press enter:
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
3. After this, you will notice, that the navigation bar and status bar will disappear on your phone on all apps. Now enter this code to the ADB terminal, to re-enable them on the TouchWiz launcher:
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=apps,-com.sec.android.app.launcher
If you're using a third party launcher, it most probably won't need the navigation and status bar, because it will probably adapt to the changes by stretching. But if you want to show the bars on a custom launcher, just replace "com.sec.android.app.launcher" in the piece of code above with the package name of the application where you want to show the bars in.
To disable the mod, just enter this code to the ADB terminal:
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
Additional tip to ease navigation when the navigation bar is gone, use an app called All in one gestures, found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures&hl=en
You can see how I set up the app in attached screenshots 3-6, I set up the left edge swipe to act as a press of the recent apps button, and the right edge swipe to act as a press of the back button. I'm using the pressure-sensitive home button as a home button, because a hard press of the place where the home button would be acts as a press of it. Navigating with edge swipes is super easy on the S8 because the edge is very comfortable to swipe from, I find it even more intuitive than using the navigation bar to navigate. I hope that you enjoy this mod as much as I do, I've been using it for weeks now. :good:
thank you
Hi there,
i recently got my new phone - sgs8. The display format is not allways that usefull since most apps will left a black bar because they where made for 16:9 and not 18,5:9.
Anyway there is a way where it could be very useful - multiwindow.
Well its a nice function especially with that long screen. Sadly there is the Navigation bar which eats up about 0,4inc/1cm of the screen.
By now i have tried all the steps @ gadgethacks and above.
I was able to remove the Navigation bar on homescreen (where i actually don't need it to be gone - so i reactivated it for the specific launcher)
but not in multiwindow. Whatever i do, whatever launcher i use (nova,apex, standard) the white bar (not allowed yet to post link/picture) wont disappear.
Is there a way to get rid of it as well?
thx
None of this is my work, I just compiled a few different pieces of advice from others. Ever since I started using devices from OEMs that provide a way to do this, I've always enabled it.
Desired outcome: Having a Navbar button that expands the notification shade. (See screenshot)
Follow this XDA article to install and enable Custom Navigation Bar
Install the application Expand Statusbar from the Play Store
Open Expand Statusbar and set the default action to "Notifications"
Open Custom Navigation Bar and in the Navigation Bar settings, add an extra right or left button (your preference). Give it an icon (I chose Chevron down, your preference)
Map it to launch an app, choose Expand Statusbar
???
Profit!
Custom Navigation Bar is supposed to support Tasker profiles, so the ideal solution is having a Tasker Task toggle mapped to the button. I couldn't get it working on DP1 though, others may have more success. If you find a way to get it working through Tasker, post in here and I'll update the original post with alternate instructions.
Hi,
I want to use automatic hide status bar. Im using automatic hide navigation bar like this. How i can do automatic hide status bar and use my rooted s8 full screen
Systemui tuner in play store will do it. Immersive mode. I got it in full. You can also do it as on unrooted devices. I have Xposed with gravity box which suppose to do it but doesn't. This app I found does it on the s8 and nicely. Add seconds to the clock and turn off icons. Check it out. It is by zacharee1, the app.
Here is my home screen. The status bar comes and goes with the nav bar. I hated seeing the status bar.
It is looking very nice. I cant install magisk or xposed. I tried everything and open a post in xda. But i cant use it still. I will change my rom and try to flash magisk or xposed again

Is there any way to disable the navbar for a full screen navigation. I have immersive mode on but when I swipe up from the bottom it still pops up. That's what I want to dis able. I already have an alternative installed and it works very well. I'm on Oreo beta so no root sadly.
