[Q] How to hide the status/notification bar?

Hello!
Is there a way to toggle on and off the top status bar? Either an app or a hack or anything like that?

anyone? pretty please?

You can do this with certain home launchers, I know its a feature in NOVA.

Like the guy above me said, it all depends on what launcher you are using. With ADW Launcher I know there is a setting that lets you do it.

What about the soft keys?

Soft keys can't be hidden with a launcher (that I'm aware of), and require a custom ROM. A number of the custom ROMs allow you to add a toggle for the soft keys to the power menu for easy access - such as AOKP.

Yup, AOKP is excellent in that you can toggle the nav bar/soft keys from your power menu. When you combine it with an app like LMT that allows gesture control (or the even better pie control) the whole navigation experience is next level.
Thanks for the launcher suggestion but that will only hide the status bar when you're on your home screens, it reappears when you're in an app.
What I want is to be able to hide the notification bar when I'm in an app like Docs to Go or Kingsoft Office, maximising my horizontal space.

Use nova launcher for top.
Flash aokp for bottom. I do both everyday.

Yup, Nova will do it on your homescreen and dock, but is there anything that can do it within an app?

You may try use ApexLauncher,It had a very powerful function.

i don't know how it is on huawei, but you can use gestures in nav bar settings or, better, this samsung app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.sidegesturepad

Hello,i've tried many launchers, but none have 'back efffect' like EMUI 9... launcher.
Maybe someone found something like this...

Anything that can toggle playback control with display off? Thats a feature of OnePlus and something I've gotten used to while using the OnePlus X

Try one hand operation +
It's in the playsyore

Only provides popup menu for media control; doesn't actually toggle media control commands (eg play/pause, prev, next)

Well the gesture from one handed mode is not that bad but I'm still looking forward to a ported version from emui

Question Permanent Navigation Buttons?

Hello folks, I haven't made the jump to custom rom yet, still on stock miui, I don't mind it tbh.. but this is my first phone without physical navigation buttons (back, home , recents etc), is there anyway to make them permanent, i use a lot of apps where the whole screen is active, can be hard to being them up sometimes without interfering with the running app...
Thanks!

Find setting Full screen display

I've been a button user for years too, but damn if these gestures aren't so damn convenient. You can enable it from Settings ( search for Gestures ). You gonna try it for days if not hours, the revert back to gestures xD

miui was good when they allow other launcher (non miui or poco) tu use full gesture navigation, how ever after updating A11 miui 12.5 It's gone...you only can use gesture nav on poco/miui launcher only & that's suck...
since i do really hate both miui & poco launcher..i had to use again button navigation...(i use nova launcher)

I'd found the full screen display options before, I guess Im only really concerned about Microsoft Remote Desktop but I can't make the buttons permanent, they have that "toaster" function

for me i choose gesture navigation over permanent button, coz the phone look great when in full screen mode, despite the launcher...
F3 look great if we can use gesture nav & hide those status bar (poco launcher can't do this, only external launcher apps).. but that's all just a dream,since there's now way for stock non rooted poco f3 can bypass gesture nav for external launcher (don't know if custom romm do that...since my F3 not rooted yet

Question Any better third party gesture navigation alternatives?

Sorry if I've missed a thread and/or discussion on this, but looking to see if anyone can recommend a decent replacement for gesture navigations.
Perhaps one works better with third party launchers such as Nova and offers more features than standard gestures?
Any info appreciated!
Cheers

There are multiple, e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agooday.fullscreengestures
However, the gestures are handled by the Pixel launcher which you must disable, otherwise risk of gestures that interact which gives strange effects.
When the Pixel Launcher is disabled however, the "recent" apps list can no longer be used (as it is also implemented by the Pixel launcher). And AFAIK, Nova does not have a recents implementation.

Thanks for the reply.
Hmm so perhaps not sounding so great, in the sense of conflicting gestures and the impact of having pixel launcher disabled... Hmmm!
Habe you or anyone a success story of replacing stock gestures smoothly?

I been using Vivid NG for a few years now and also on this phone. I set up system gestures to 3 button and use a navbargone magisk mod in the themes section to remove it. Make sure you have whatever alternative you will use set up prior. I don't disable pixel launcher at all but I guess when switching to 3 button nav I don't need to.
Using Nova launcher as well.
Vivid has a total of 9 trigger zones and a total of 9 triggers per zone with a total of 81 triggers if maxed out.

I'm using Nova and fluid NG or fng on the store. I have the nav bar gone module installed. Fng allows up to 4 triggers on each side of the phone with both a quick pull and a long pull option for each trigger, so really 8 triggers total.
Reccommend switching to 3 button nav if going to this route.
Fluid Navigation Gestures - Apps on Google Play
Get the fluid navigation gestures of the future!
play.google.com

Brilliant ... also just installed FNG, set system navigation to 3 buttons, hide navbar ... that works a lot better with Nova and you can still use the 'recents' from the Pixel Launcher !!!
All those annoying 'screen flashes' are now gone it seems ...

Thanks for the replies guys, sounds like FNG is a winner! I'll give it a try later on

And actually, it seems that with this combination, those annoying missed screen taps are also gone ... but have to test/check a bit more ...

Just to summarize my setup:
- Nova launcher
- Settings > System > Gestures > System navigation > 3 buttons
- Use https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/google-pixel-6-pro.12313/ to hide the 3 button nav nar
- Install FNG and configure your nagivation (bottom/left/right) as you want (see https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid)
This works brilliantly with Nova. I don't have those occasional weird screen flashes any more (which arise from interation between Nova/Pixel launcher and the standard gesture) and you can still have 'recents' from the Pixel launcher (configure it in FNG). And the ghost touches when you go from an app back to HOME and then very quickly tap an icon are also gone!

I'm a little confused by this statement regarding Recents, I hope you can clarify for me. I'm using Nova Launcher Prime exclusively. I haven't disabled the Pixel Launcher, I just don't use it and I have Nova set to be my default one.
I'm using the Pixel's default gestures for Back, Home, and Recents just fine. I'm also using Nova's configurable gestures to swipe up for the app drawer, swipe down for the notification shade, and I use CleanSlate kernel's sweep to sleep.

I use edge gestures. It's way more natural to navigate using the sides of your device. For example air swipe up for recents, swipe down to go home, touch and hold to drop down the notification shade, swipe and pull up to change brightness level etc
Amazing, amazing app.

I had these occasional screen flashes with Nova when switching back from an app to the Nova launcher (not sure why, somehow some weird interaction with gestures). I suspected it had something to do with the Pixel launcher, so disabled Pixel launcher.
Then indeed, the screen flashes were gone.
However, the "recent apps" list (swipe up and hold) does no longer work then as the recent screen (https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities/recents) is implemeted by the Pixel launcher.
So I was in a dilemma:
a) eliminate screen flashes -> disable Pixel launcher -> no more recent apps screen
b) leave screen flashes -> leave Pixel launcher enabled -> recent apps list
So now, as said in previous post I have:
Nova + Pixel launcher enabled + 3 button navigation (no gestures) + hide nav bar + FNG (fluid navigation gesture)
That solves the problem of the screen flashes for me (and has additional benefit of more configurable gestures).
In addition, the other issue which I had was: if you go back from an app to Nova launcher and very quickly tap an icon on the Nova screen then sometimes that tap would not be picked up (waiting 0.5sec before tapping would solve that problem). Again, I suspect some weird interaction between Nova and Pixel launcher. But with the above combination also that issue seems to be gone for me now. So I'm much happier.

Okay, thanks. I haven't noticed any screen flashes, thankfully.

Yes it is weird ... but I do have 5 screens in Nova and my Nova backup file from which I restore is big/old ... possibly that has something to do with it ... I should probably re-setup Nova from scratch ... and I did some hackery inside the Nova backup to retain chrome shortcuts when I restore the Nova backup. Anyway, my setup is working great now with FNG gestures.

Vivid ng and gesture control and if you're rooted Xposed edge, Xposed edge is the best of all, there is nothing like it in my opinion, all 3 in the play store

Question Gesture Navigation does not work with launchers?

I have used lawnchair and nova, but gesture Navigation is not responsive with both of them... It either freezes of changes default to system launcher.. Any fixes?

n

gesture is only for system launcher. for 3rd party launcher, i use this workaround
1. FNG
2. LADB + command "settings put global force_fsg_nav_bar 1". this to hide nav bar
however, need toapply the command after every reboot.
you can refer here
Disable navigation buttons miui global 12.5.8
With the new update, miui global 12.5.8, the system no longer allows gestures AND third party launchers and forces default launcher to the system launcher if gesture navigation is selected. 3rd party launchers work with button navigation, and...

Reset the settings and restart the phone, then set up new gestures and delete the old ones. Now see if it works or else you should wait for a new update.

working for me without doing anything
