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

n stock ICS rom, its power control widget is much less flexible than it in CM.
Its buttons are static, I cannot add any else.
It occupy a row in home screen, I cannot toggle it anywhere.
I found widgetsoid in XDA froum，which satisfy my 2 requirements above.
（http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23274576）
widgetsoid's website:
（http://jaumard.android.free.fr/widgetsoid/index.php?lang=en_EN）
There are 2 points worthy recording：
1，How hide widget in home screen，show it in notification area?
widgetsoid will show on home screen in default condition.
when a widget created, it is first thing is to check "notification" and "widget invisible" in "Advance" pane, then add buttons to widget. otherwise the check box "widget invisible" will be disable.
2, How do you make USB debug toggle to work ?
the adb is necessary。its detail is shown following。
I will verify it later when my adb env is ready.
ref：How hide widget in home screen?(http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...idgetsoid-3-2-4-widget-notification-only.html)
You have to redo the widget from scratch. If you try to restore it won't work. Long press on the home screen/create your widget/then select yes to the question about changing global settings/select the notifications tab and there should be an option to make it invisible.
I haven't used it in a while, but going from memory that should be right ( or close to it).
ref: How do you make USB debug toggle to work ?(http://jaumard.android.free.fr/widgetsoid/help_widgetsoid.php?lang=en_EN)
Just put the Widgetsoid apk on /system/app folder
This only works with ADB connected to the phone (doesn't work if you use root explorer or other apps like this) :
1, Remount /system as read/write
2, adb push Widgetsoid.apk /system/app/Widgetsoid.apk
3, Remount /system as read-only。

I'm just playing around with the multi window feature of my samsung stock rom.
I managed to open to apps side with tasker:
In short: tasker + "AutoShorkut" addin opens a "MW Shortcuts" shortcut.
This works just good and stable with one drawback: Apps seems to be closed before they are started in the side by side view.
For me, that was not enough.
Opening manually with the side bar wont close apps.
So I thought I want to automate the sidebar actions. I already can simulate touchscreen taps with the shell command "input tap x1 x2". I tried to use "input swipe ..." to bring the sidebar to the front but no luck... Is there any other chance to bring the side bar to the front out from a tasker script? I'm also wasn't able to simulate a long back button press. This seems to be the alternative to show the side bar beside a screen swipe.
I've found a solution:
1. Wait 500ms
2. Run Shell -> "input swipe 2559 700 700 700 500" -> timeout = 4 seconds -> use root = true
Afterwards I am selecting the app I wanna open with "input tap ...". The icon position of the app has to be constant, of course
So for here, I managed to automate samsung's split multi window feature. Hope it helps for you. (press thanks )
How do I auto-hide nav-bar or go auto-immersive?
As root in Android Terminal, to auto-hide only nav-bar on bottom (e.g., just swipe up on bottom to show nav-bar), type:
su
settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
or to auto-hide top & bottom:
su
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
or to go back to original:
su
settings delete global policy_control
-------
To do the same as above without root using adb from PC, to auto-hide only nav-bar on bottom (e.g., just swipe up on bottom to show nav-bar), type:
adb shell
settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
or to auto-hide top & bottom:
adb shell
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
or to go back to original:
adb shell
settings delete global policy_control
-----
The only issue I have found so far is getting trapped in camera app, because camera app monopolizes swipe function by default; however, it is easy to swipe left in camera to go to photos, then swipe up from bottom in photos to make nav-bar appear.
**edit**
thanks for these steps, very helpful
you can also just enable Moto Actions and One button nav, hides the nav bar all together
I started out using the auto-hide nav-bar only one, but now I'm trying the full immersive one and the latter takes some getting used to, I think. There is no question either one makes web-browsing better! Every fraction of an inch of screen real-estate helps avoid that cramped feeling of inconvenience. But, I think I'm gonna stick with the auto-hide nav-bar only one, because it takes up the most room of the two and I miss it less.
Flash the module attached, reboot
Then ADB Command: "adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton"

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
I am a S22 user and want to use FNG or VNG.
To use FNG or VNG, it needs to remove navigation bar.
Anyone know removing navigation bar??
I cant find any way to remove it completely.
I've found a solution
Hex installer works completely on one ui 5.0.
Thanks.

what Adb?
I tried some adb commands like below
"adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-200"
but it doesnt work.
Did I do something wrong?
As far as I know, there is no method to remove the navbar on s22. The only thing I know, you can suppress back gestures in "swipe gestures" mode using ADB command. In that way, you will be able to utilize only the sides of the screen for FNG.
For that just use this command with ADB:
adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
and then chose "One UI full screen gestures" option in FNG settings.

Oh, and that would last ONLY untill reboot if you have no root.
If you install Samsung "Good Lock" and the install "NavStar" there is an option "Show and hide button". Then you have a little point on the left of the navbar. With double tab on it you could switch between hide ansd show.

Both Good Lock and One ui display option have only a hide function.
