Alternative to hide navbar in Android 11 (without root)? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Does anyone have found a way to hide navbar in Android 11 without root? overscan or fullscreen ADB command still unusable un beta 3 :crying:

Few days ago Google confirmed that it was not a bug not able to use overscan (Status: Won’t Fix (Intended Behavior))
But there are not any comments on innmersive mode... Still in latest public Android 11 version youn can't set innmersive mode with adb command (adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*), it just keep reseting the settings to inmerssive.none=*
Do we have then to finally root or install custom 11 ROM to be able to hide the navbar?

This is ridiculous. why remove something that works fine. I have been using adb to set immersive more or hid the nav bar in certain apps for about 5 years. Why change it now?

I know... Maybe Google is forcing developers to properly adjust apps to fit screen size and to the use of the gesture bar.
This immersive app is working, but I don't like to much the behavior: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=immersive.duna.com.immersivemode

Thank you for the link, but I see what you mean about the behaviour. It seems it is using the overlay permission to redraw the app over the top without the nav bar. Clunky, but it works.

Fullscreen Immersive - No Ads, No Root Android 11 that works
I tested and this Immersive app is working on Android 11 with PRO mode
It is called: Fullscreen Immersive - No Ads, No Root
:highfive:

According to the developer, he was forced to make a new Google account. Since he couldn't carry over purchase details for the old app he made a new version of it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duna.immersive

Did you check out what the dev said on Google Play regarding that? If not, you should. The answer is there.
P. S. Quoting me won't help as a) I'm not the dev, and b) I don't use the app.

18:9 immersive mode/gesture controls/no root

DISCLAIMER: This guide was NOT made by me, I'm simply sharing this here because it's really useful IMO.
This is a guide made by reddit user turkcem421, on how to take advantage of this beautiful 18:9 aka 2:1 display.
Here's the link https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg6/comments/7bqy5r/guide_fullscreen_immersive_mode_with_gesture/
And some screenshots...
Very interesting, thank you. I was also looking for a way to do this after playing with a friend's iPhone X and realizing how outdated a navigation bar now feels.
I was on a different path. Instead of enabling immersive mode, my goal is to disable the soft keys entirely. This requires editing build.prop, which requires root, which I can't get on my H870DS. However it seems to be possible to edit it with adb as well, was going to try that next.
EDIT: file system is read-only, doesn't work with adb.
Also, there's an app called Pie Control that can provide gesture navigation controls and is very elegant IMHO. My goal is to use that as a replacement for soft keys.
Hi crabnebula,
Author of the reddit guide here. I actually tried the adb build.prop approach also! It was pretty tough to write it to the system successfully (as you noticed, there are a lot of weird things on the backend of the LG G6 compared to the Nexus phones that I am used to) but eventually I did manage to write it and chmod it by combining a lot of tricks I learned hereHowever it did not have any effect, i.e. the LG G6 ROM does not seem to care about what that line of build.prop says and just shows the buttons anyway. After that failure I ended up figuring out the solution that I put in the guide.
Pie controls looks nice too, I was considering it. There are two things I like about all-in-one gestures though that to my knowledge are not in the others (but I have not checked thoroughly)
1) all in one gestures includes both gesture controls and immersive mode in the same app, and the immersive mode also has a built-in fix to let the keyboard work (see my guide). I don't know another way to have immersive mode with a working keyboard, and it is also really handy that it's all one app, i.e. if for any reason the app crashes or is stopped then the nav bars also come back when the gesture controls stop working.
2) there is an 'alt-tab' functionality, comparable to double tapping on multitasking button. Very handy to do this with a single swipe. I didn't see any other apps that had this (but maybe I did not look hard enough)
 @yilun thanks for posting the guide here!
Thank you! The UI looks so much better without the nav-bar and status bar there to interfere. ^^

Thank you for the reddit guide and the further information. I really appreciate that you took the time to share!
Guess I'll give up on the build.prop setting.
After playing with AIO Gestures a little more, I have to agree with you. The combination of features makes it more useful and I actually prefer the way it works when using both the bottom edge and corners to replace the 3 usual soft keys, instead of a pie menu.
The only issue I have is that the phone seems to drop out of immersive mode when returning to the launcher and certain apps, but it's a minor nuisance.
I'm hoping that in a next version of Android and/or in future OEM updates, they are going to introduce native gesture-based navigation, at least as an option. In the meantime, it's great to have an alternative that works without root. Thanks again!
I'm using something like this since 3 weeks. What I've did to get the immersive screen was all in adb code. What is causing the battery drain is Google apps that won't support 18:9 mode so you have to exclude them from immersive. You can still use youtube modded APK (18:9 support) and Chrome beta to get full screen.
The adb code is
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.android.chrome,-com.android.vending,-com.google.android.gm,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
I use aiog too.

You mean revert the whole process?
You can do it one by one manually, but I'd recommend just making a backup and factory resetting.
The other way is extremely time consuming and not very practical at all.

I have set it up correctly but have a few questions. Is op possible to disable the navbar completely everytime i swipe up to go home from the buttom. The navbar shows up and is in the way. And is it possible to disable the white glow on the screen from the all in one gestures app?
To disable glow go to "personalization" > "edge preference" and set "opacity" to 0%.

So if you force immersive this way, you still need to use AIOG with the special settings applied through adb in order for the keyboard to function in immersive mode, or do you only use AIOG for the actual gestures?

Just for gestures. There is no need of touching any setting for immersive on AIOG.
Can't believe how simple that all was. Only thing I couldn't do was the SVC for ls993. Literally no one has it, spend 25 min looking and 5 minutes going through the tutorial.
Only issue I know is that some apps have a very small black sliver on the bottom, is this due to not forcing long display through the SVC? Does anyone know the SVC for ls993???
Either way, the rest works 1000x better than I expected and the battery drain solutions are terrific.
Home screen looks super good too

[APK] Navigauton bar - 0 pt apk - OnePlus 5T compatibility?

Hi to all!
Just wanted to know if there's a possibility to get this APK work on out 5T too...on S8 it worked like a charm and easily bring the chance to navigate the phone without navigation soft keys, along with a swipe navigation app from Play Store (All In One Gestures for example).
This apk reduce the height of the navbar to 0, pratically will "delete" the navbar permanently (after a reboot), and the stock state could be reversed with simply uninstall this app.
But I noticed that this will not work on 5T: installed, reboot but navbar it's still there...
So, the question is: anyone knows how to get this to work with 5T too?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4188536&d=1497996764
Looking for the same thing but one that shrinks the navbar like -18DPI or smaller. None of the available mods or substratum themes seem to work for Oreo regarding the navbar.
Ah, I'm on NOUGAT, hasn't switched to Oreo yet, waiting official OTA.
But I think that this, once "fixed", should work on Oreo and Nougat too...
At least...I hope...

On nougat there's a couple different ways. If your rooted there's a magisk module. If not you should be able to use Andromeda and use the substratum navbar height plug in.
Only thing regarding changing the height to -o is that it sometimes breaks your power button. So if you hold it it instantly reboots your phone.
There's a thread on how to get around that if your are rooted using Xposed temporarily to achieve hiding the navbar.

I'm not rooted, but that "Andromeda" thing? It's a Substratum module?
what does this apk do to the phone?
i know you wrote it will adjust the height to 0px
but whats the benefit out of it?

The benefit is to be able to use FULL display without on screen buttons, prevent burn-in because of softkeys...and let be able to navigate the phone with gestures with apps like All in one gestures or swipe navigation.
:good:
Best solution atm is to root your device and use jOnePlus Tools app. No need for Xposed at all, as jOnePlus Tools adds a qs tile to show/hide the navigation bar.
The best solution is that I think, found in another thread posted by @janres155 , that can be done with ADB without root, xposed or Substratum...only a single command in ADB shell will do the trick:

True immersive mod

Hello there,
With my GS8, I was able to hide status bar to enter in immersive mod.
With my GS20+, this option is not available anymore.
I try to enter into immersive mod with some ADB commands but a Black bar stay present during the navigation.
Is there any solution to fix it ?
something like this? But you need root.
The way I did it is with System UI Tuner from the Play Store and it works fine. For some reason, tge ADB commands for immersive mode get weird on newer Samsung devices and leave the black bar at the top of the screen but work just fine on other devices such as OnePlus and LG, but with System UI Tuner, you can enable immersive mode on Samsung devices just fine.
Here is a link to it in the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner
You will have to run ADB commands to enable permissions for it but it works great. I have used it successfully on the S9, S10, and now the S20. No root is required either.

I used that one on my S8 and actually still have the link to that page saved in an email I sent to myself. I had issues with it on my S10. I have been using System UI Tuner on my Samsung devices since the S10, although I did use it on one or two of the S9s I had because it was just faster.
I didn't have to use System UI Tuner on any of the OnePlus phones I had because the ADB commands worked fine. I use gestures on my phone so I don't need to hide the navigation bar since there is an option to hide it built into Android 10 when using gestures, I just had to hide the status bar.
System UI tuner still leaves a black bar on top on my S20 Ultra.
I think we need root for a true immerssive mode.

Well, with killing I meant a clean display without the black bar lmao. @chieco No I don't got root rights, but afaik this is achievable even without root. My guess is that the android version with one ui does not support immersive mode for the given display resolution. However, there should be a solution for this.

How did you get rid of the black bar on S20?
I tried immersive mode "full" and "status", and neither provided true immersive mode. The clock, network status and battery icon disappear, but launching any app still shows a black bar across the top. "Immersive mode" just removes text from the top, but the black bar remains.
@Mucky2
unfortunately you are wrong. It's sadly not possible to achieve Full Immersive Mode without root.. your guesses are wrong. There is a non-root option but that costs money and doesn't work for all apps and it has few other downsides to it. A friend of mine found the method I'm currently using, and it also works on my S20+ that is rooted.
@sublimaze
He didn't! he's talking crap. He is one of those people who's knowledge isn't updated and think those old method's still work. Since my S10 every time I opened a thread here or on reddit, there are always these people who pop in think they know it all but in reality they make claims that are untrue and can't be backed up by them. I asked him to show proof but nada! Because he can't! But he sounded so sure...
My friend is the only one who knows how. But he asked me not to share it. Maybe I can finally convince him to join xda and share his method with us.

Yes it is rooted. I would say one more reason to root that's how it goes folks if you want full control of your device you need to root it. Otherwise Sammy is going to dictate everything you can and can't do with it. Must feel good to pay upwards of 1000$ and not being able to get rid of the Statusbar. It was especially annoying on the S10 since the Statusbar was sooo huge due to the punch hole being big af. Atleast on the S20 line the punch hole shrank enough where the statusbar is at a normal hight.

How To Guide Remove NavBar Gesture Pill (and more) for Pixel 6 Pro

Update: This only works if you are rooted now, since the January 2022 patch.
Hi guys, I've seen several posts asking how to remove the Gesture Pill. It's easy if you're rooted, but it's also possible if you're not rooted.
Here is a step by step guide. There is also a huge amount of UI mods that can be made using the same method.
1. Download the Shizuku app from the Playstore
2. Start the Shizuku app by running the following adb command:
adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/start.sh
3. Download and install FabricateOverlay release from Github.
4. In FabricateOverlay click “Add Overlay”
5. Choose Android System
6. Click “Add”
7. Set “android:dimen/navigation_bar_height” to 1. Apply. Save. Tick.
8. Set “android:dimen/navigation_bar_frame_height” to 0. Apply. Save. Tick.
9. Enjoy!
Let me know in the thread if anything is unclear.
Thanks to @squee666 for an alternative solution that does not affect the keyboard! Try it out!

Zachary Wander for the FabricateOverlay app and the instructions.
RikkaW for the Shizuku Api.
MishaalRahman, Quinny898 and various Redditors (especially LankeeM9 and audie-tron171) for the relevant settings.
Very nice, thank you for this!
Points 8 and 9 xan you be more specific.
Damn, it's too bad that the overlay system can't change fonts. I don't even want to install custom fonts, I just want to change the system default to the new Google font instead of Roboto. Without root.
Can we enable Fluid Navigation Gestures after applying a similar tweak?

Basically you need to search "android:dimen/navigation_bar_height" by entering it in the search box. Then click on it. Then add the value in the value box and click "Apply". There are screenshots showing how it works here.

Great! It works. Thanks!
But there seems to be one down-side ... when you enable the overlay the Google keyboard does not longer show the "down" marker to make the keyboard disappear. The android:dimen/navigation_bar_frame_height (0) is causing that. See attached 2 screenshots. First one is without overlay enabled, second one has overlay enabled. Notice how the little downward pointing arrow is gone on the second one.

What is the workaround for me that im rooted?

But there seems to be one down-side ... when you enable the overlay the Google keyboard does not longer show the "down" marker to make the keyboard disappear. The android:dimen/navigation_bar_frame_height (0) is causing that. See attached 2 screenshots. First one is without overlay enabled, second one has overlay enabled. Notice how the little downward pointing arrow is gone on the second one.

It might be possible to increase the bottom margin of the keyboard in system.ui. I'll check in a bit.
Edit: Actually, the handle is part of the navbar, which is the reason why it disappears when removing the navbar.

Just open the Shizuku app and press "Start" in "Start (for rooted devices)".
So on Android 10, there was an overscan feature that allowed the 3 button navigation to be hidden and replaced with 3rd party navigation apps such as Fluid Navigation Gestures. This allowed swipe up from the bottom navigation much like OnePlus and Samsung offer. My curiosity is if this mod allows third party apps the hide and utilize the navbar.

Only if they integrate the Shizuku library into their app afaik.
I can confirm this working on my Pixel 3 XL on Android 12, no root, locked bootloader. Thank you so much for this!

Good point. However, you just need to swipe back for the keyboard to disappear.

Aha yes ... if you swipe above the keyboard it goes away ... did not know that! Thanks for that tip.
One question, how come that this sticks after reboot (even when disabling Shizuku/FabricateOverlay)?

Basically you only need to give the app permission to change the settings (i.e. write to secure settings). Once the system setting is written it sticks. But if you want to change the value again you will need to go through the same process with both apps.
