Rud 123 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) The issue I am facing is that I can't manage to fully hide the navigation bar, only the buttons hide but the black bar is still on screen to the right in landscape and at the bottom in portrait on the homescreen and in the app drawer. The desired result is to have the wallpaper and UI fill the whole screen, both for aesthetic purposes and to prevent AMOLED screen burn in. I managed to fully hide the bar on my BlackBerry Priv and use pie controls to navigate and on Samsung phones with android 9 the navigation bar can be hidden from settings and gestures used in its place, thus I assume this isn't a limitation of the OS. Photo of desired result on my Priv: Black bar to the right issue on my Pro1: Is there any way to do this? Edited October 12, 2020 by Rud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,427 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Some apps allows the bar to be hidden, so a launcher might do that as well I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingAntero 869 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Have you tried Navigation Gestures from XDA? (F(x)tec is in collaboration with that community). It has the "no bar" mode so I think that the navbar should be possible to remove. Some permissions must be enabled via ADB. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just hides the buttons, not the bar. Quote Some apps allows the bar to be hidden, so a launcher might do that as well I guess. It's the fifth app I tried that only hides the buttons. I granted WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS for all of them. Maybe I should just flash Lineage OS and hope it works there, but I would like to avoid all that trouble. 🙂 Edited October 13, 2020 by Rud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Works fine here, both stock and LineageOS (not rooted) I uninstalled it again, as it requires a terrible amount of high privileges requires a REALLY long pull up of the 'pill' to work (as does default Android if you do not disable the "Swipe up home button" gesture) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For number 2, I use pie controls instead of the pill. Edited October 13, 2020 by Rud 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rud 123 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 It was Nova launcher causing the issues, updated it and all's fine. Thnx for all the help and sorry for the goose chase! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,200 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Gesture Control will provide you with the means to have Android 10 gesture navigation and full screen experience. They have a tutorial somewhere to hide the navigation bar. You need to connect your phone to a PC and run an adb command. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.conena.navigation.gesture.control Been using Pro1 with hidden nav bar and full screen gesture since January.
