Possible to completely disable navigation bar?

Has anyone found a way to completely disable the navigation bar so that it does NOT appear when you swipe up from bottom? (with root)
Some time ago with Nougat it was possible to add a line to build.prop but this does no longer work with the S9 and Oreo....

The best way for me so far
I tried almost all app to remove and replace the navigation bar for my Samsung S9 but all of them facing serval crop screen and app UI issue. For example Samsung Internet new tabs alignment, Crop grey backgound when windows popping up (I will attache screenshot below.)
And now I think I found the best way so far to fix all these issue
- "Oneplus Gestures" is best one for me for the alternative app to replace the navigation bar because not like others, the pill of this app is always at the bottom (not shift) and it work on overlays app (ex: FB messenger)
- "Hide Nav Bar" is the app that I choose to remove the native nav bar but for now it has some issue which cropping some app and I have solution for that. You have to enable global immersive mode then exclude the apps that cropped. So far I found these apps need to exclude: Smart Capture, Edge Widget, Instagram, Gallery. By filter immersive mode for these app you could use "Immersive Mode Manager" app or just write this adb command
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.samsung.android.app.smartcapture,-com.samsung.android.app.widgetedge,-com.instagram.android,-com.sec.android.gallery3d
- Not finish yet, the fix other UI issue (Samsung Internet, Gallery) you need to use "Routines" app belong to Good Lock 2018 app to use Samsung Hide Nav Bar for Samsung Internet and Gallery app.
Then enjoy your edge to edge screen with gesture navigation. This work around fix all my issue when remove and replace navigation bar on my S9. If you find other issue feel free to discuss.

the thing that i hate about those skins its that the status bar its white and in a notched display looks horrible, and status bar option in the them covers the nav bar which its why i cant have both the new pie nav bar and black status bar unless someone made it

MIUI doesn't allow to change the navbar position. You can only flip them (back and recent position). To get custom navbar, use smartbar feature in cusrom that support it. AFAIK, RR, AOSiP, bootlegger have it. Here is example of mine, putting 7 buttons at the smartbar. I use them heavily for my quick shortcut and tied to automagic flow.

Hello, is there any solution to get a custom navigation bar on a non rooted Redmi Note 7?
I just need to add a soft button that enables me to scroll down the notification panel (a stock feature on LG phone, actually..).
Thanks in advance

[Galaxy Note 20] H ow to hide the Status bar

Does anyone know how to hide the Status bar and display everything under the camera hole like this.
As on S8/S9, Note8/Note9 just needs to use the command: settings put global policy_control immersive.status=* is done
But for models with this android camera hole when using the above command, the screen containing the hole camera will be a black strip.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

Hoping to find a way

You can use System UI Tuner on the play store to get rid of the status and navigation bars on whichever apps you want. Just need to do a couple of adb commands to make it work.

Guess I never noticed it as I use dark mode and a black wall paper.

Enabling full screen app support for the particular app in settings>display has gotten rid of the black bars for me

You can use Nova Launcher to hide Statusbar.

Use Fine lock, Install Quick star module

in quick star model is no choice to hide statusbar

Do you know the Nova Launcher? Search in Google Playstore. With Nova Launcher you can also hide Statusbar via Gesture.

Good Lock. QUICKSTAR still works.
Hide clock first then turn off every icon like wifi and data.

Samsung's GoodLock NavStar module will show/hide the status bar.

This is what I did and it works.
1. System tuner ui to hide status bar.
2. Enable full screen app support in settings>display
3. I want to give credit to whoever figured this out, but don't remember. Get goodlock and install multi-star. Scroll all the way to the bottom of multi-star and select (the app size stretch to camera hole). Set the app to overlap the camera area.
That's it. No more status bar and it will look like the target picture. All apps.

It didn't work for me. It pushed everything up and cut the top off.

Question Any ROM/Magisk Module/App to expand apps past hole punch?

Thread title, really.
I've missed immersive mode on my 7 Pro ever since I got my 9 Pro, there wasn't any time I would ever turn it off on my 7 Pro and it's why I'm keeping it on Android 10. But Android 11 lacks immersive mode so I can't use it on my 9 Pro. I fear burn in so I've had my status bar permanently hidden (set to 0px) and I just bring it down with a gesture when I need to view notifications.
But even though the status bar is 0px, all my apps still know the holepunch is there and push the content below the holepunch / make a black bar above the holepunch. Is there any setup that you guys know of that ignores the holepunch? Bonus points of its on a per-app basis. I know Samsung phones can use Good Lock to accomplish this, and it's crazy that a phone that doesn't even need root can accomplish this but I can't seem to find a solution for my phone with an unlocked bootloader lol.
But yeah, I really just want a way to force apps to ignore the holepunch. Anything?

G-Visual mod!

That's what I'm using to force my status bar to 0px. Unfortunately the whole ignore holepunch thing doesn't seem to work on OOS11. Unless you found some way?

Did you enable this in Dev Settings? It appears when you are using G-Visual mod

Yeah, but even after enabling, it only affects the status bar and no other app. Even in your screenshot, I can see your settings app pushed considerably below where your status bar is. Seems like a true immersive mode is just impossible on Android 11

Oh sorry I misunderstood you, the G-Visual mod makes the app go full screen (with status bar) in portrait mode.

Question How can i auto hide notification/Navigation bars on my Galaxy A22 (4G)?

Hello all!
So basically i want this:
1st - I want this notification bar with all its icons to Auto-Hide ALWAYS, and show up only when i swipe it down,
and than after set amount of time to auto-hide.
2nd - I want this navigation bar at the bottom to also Auto-Hide ALWAYS also, and when i swipe UP to be shown,
and than after set amount of time to auto-hide.
1st 2nd

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So that's basically it.
How can i achieve that?
P.S.
So i am about to get my new phone "Samsung Galaxy A22 (4G)" in about 5 days, so i want to prepare for it.
Im buying glass protection, mask (something like this) and also, since its an AMOLED (OLED) screen, and It's known that OLED screens can get burn-ins,
(my other OLED phones already have burn-ins in some form or another) so i want to take care of it as much as i can, as i always did, but
what i noticed is that burn-ins on my previous devices are from navigation and notification bars mostly...actually ONLY from those two!
So i was thinking on removing those two to auto hide them.
There is a partial solution since i use NOVA launcher prime, it can hide notification bar but only
from home screen.
Whenever i'm in any other application it's shown again, unless that aplication it self hides it and go full screen, like youtube in full screen for example.
I want it to always be hidden unless i swipe it to be visible. Same with navigation bar. I want clean screen and only on demand bars.
Plus, i want it in generan even if its not OLED but more so with OLED!
Now here's the thing, i cant find a solution! I thought its a simple thing or that there is an option in settings,
but there is none. I also tried some play store apps, but they dissable keyboard and back button. Some even say i need to enable permission
by entering command from PC and so on... i dont wanna get some malware or whatever on my phone.
I came here for some elegant, simple solution without so many steps, and even if some permissions are needed i feel more comfortable you guys telling me i can safely do that than some sketchy app or tutorial online.
Thanks in advance guys!
