I recently installed Fluid Navigation Gestures. I loved it till I noticed that the default navigation bar is displayed in certain instances i.e. while in system settings, using keyboard etc. I tried to disable it from the app itself but nothing changes. I also tried to disable the Hide Navigation Bar option. No luck. I noticed that once I disabled the default navigation doesn't return and the gestures stop working. I haven't tried uninstalling the app not until I have re-enabled the default navigation bar (there's also a warning in the app that's along these lines).
If there's a way I can manually change the setting that hides the navigation bar. I could bring it back and then completely uninstall the app. I read somewhere that there's a magisk module that hides the navigation bar. Sadly, I cannot find that from the magisk repo.
I have an H930DS running 20p Oreo and Nova Launcher. TWRP and root. If this helps.

I found a way to disable it safely. I used the Quick tiles shortcut for FNG to pause/disable it. In the app itself I disabled the hide navigation bar option then uninstalled it after clear its data and cache. You should also revoke the permissions (draw over apps). That's it!

try to to disable fng via accessibility setting. did you grant permission via adb or root?
You can restore the navigation keys by running this adb command:
Windows:
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
macOS:
./adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
Thereafter uninstall the app normally.
Your also advised to disable the app before you Force stop, Clear app data or Uninstall the app.
You want to hide the nav bar in all and all? Turn off all pauses under black list (in ng fluid app) and you would have no nav bar displayed anywhere.
Don't forget to modify triggers to how you want first
I love this app, this is a great gesture app I've ever used. But one problem I found I not able to restore auto-hidden nav bar in my Asus Max Pro M1 even I disable "Hide Navigation bar" option from App. I also tried it by disable app/clear app data/uninstalling app. But still I'm not able to get my auto-hidden nav bar again. Always it automatically auto hide, I have to swip up from bottom to bring it and after few seconds it automatically hide from screen.
I also tried following command.
Windows:
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0.
Please help

On phone download navigation gesture provided by xda and follow all grant permissions app requires.
Then you have to open developer options of your phone.
Enable usb debugging.
Connect your phone to pc.
And write this command.
Adb devices( your phone will be shown on command after you type this command)
Then write one more command.
(adb shell pm grant com.xda.nobar android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS)
After all this process open navigation gesture and disable the option showing " hide navigation ".
All done and free yourself.

I can't live without LMT Launcher. With Marshmallow, Xposed modules can disable the navigation bar/soft keys/on screen buttons so LMT Launcher can be activated from the bottom. xposed is not available in Nougat yet. Is there another way to disable them in Nougat? I do have root.
Goto Settings-> Display -> Home touch buttons -> Hide Home touch buttons
Here you will get a list of apps, turn off for apps you need or all apps.
This only hides them.

This is great for hiding the nav bar, but doesn't really work with lmt Launcher. When you swipe from the bottom up, lmt doesn't appear. Instead the nav bar unhides. There's gotta to be a way to disable the Navigation bar completely with root. Anyone have any ideas?
The best way to hide the nav bar without Xposed in nougat is via rro layer theme. If your ROM supports rro layer themes you can install the theme from LMT's OP.
Edit build.prop in system qemu.hw.mainkeys=’, set to 0 (zero) to enable the onscreen / virtual softkeys. Set it to 1 (one) to disable them. Make sure Lmt or alternate nav system in place before reboot.
Works for me anyway

Thanks, this works great! I tried this while on stock marshmallow for tmobile g5 and phone wouldn't boot. Phone booted in Nougat and navigation bar was completely disabled.

I'm using (and always used) the build.prop trick without problems with stock MM, probably you messed up in something else when trying to edit it?
So I tried to install the custom Nav bar app and I used it to change this...
adb shell pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
But my phone wasnt compatible. Now I keep getting a systemui crash when I turn the phone landscape. Also, after reboot, my nav buttons switch back to the standard configuration.
What do I need to do to fix this?
same here...
I managed to fix the problem by going into Settings -> Display -> Navigation bar and just change the Button layout. You can change it back to whatever you want, later on, but just change it once so that navigation bar setting reset.
Hello!
I just installed the Navigation Gestures App, which I hope to get up and running on my phone with the stock navigation bar disabled. I have gone through the tutorials and used adb to give the permission for the app to do this:
adb shell pm grant com.xda.nobar android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It seems to have worked but brought up another issue. When I enable the first option, the pill appears, but the stock navigation bar can be swiped up. However when I turn on the second option, the navigation bar is unable to be swiped up, but the Navigation Gestures Pill disappears as well. I believe that I have done everything right while enabling the permission with my PC, since it does not give me a prompt to grant the permission when I turn it on. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Honor 7C, Android 8.0.
I hide the nav bar with an app that gets the permission to hide it through adb (eg. Navigation Gestures app). So when I simply press “Hide navigation bar” in the Navigation Gestures app, the nav buttons disappear, but the invisible bar stays on. To remove the bar I first go to the phone’s settings, make the bar hideable there, hide it natively, then go to the Navigation Gestures app and hide the bar there. It’s now gone. But as soon as I make a swipe from the bottom of the screen, the invisible bar appears (without the buttons), pushing the icons up. It only happens on the home screen, not in any other apps.
As far as I understand it’s the phone’s launcher responsible for this behavior, it’s not a bug of the Navigation Gestures app (I tried two such apps). So can the nav bar be hidden completely with adb or otherwise?
Hi there,
It seems Mi A3 has no real full screen mode except playing video.
I tried "adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*" or "~.full=*", there'd be a black bar on top as the same area of the status bar. When using 'full screen mode' in some browsers, it behaves the same.
Is there any method to utilize this area other than status bar and video?
Thanks.
The notch area usage depends probably on the app. For example F-stop doesn't use notch area even in full screen, Google photos yes.
More info here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49190381/fullscreen-app-with-displaycutout
Thanks, but i wish there'd be a system-wide solution. I used to use adb immersive control on my previous Nokia phone and it worked well everywhere. That's without notch, though.

Immersive mode still works and you can control it system-wide or per app, but drawing over notch area must be defined by an app developers. Otherwise you'll see the black bar as you described.
Hi,
I found the immersive mode disappeared by itself recently -- the status bar came back.
I tried giving it adb command again and it looked fine at that moment. Then the status bar came right back after locking/unlocking the screen.
What's going on? Is there any other adb command affecting this?
Thanks.
If you have magisk there is a module but it isn't in the official repository.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/themes/magisk-module-notch-killer-ignore-t3894060
Thanks, but I don't want to root my phone just yet.
BTW, I've used this command to grant permission to Fluid Navigation Gesture:
adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Would it interact with the immersive mode by that app?
I've used both FNG and immersive mode in another phone and it's OK with both of them, but it's in Android 9.
