Good way to get rid of the navbar and have pie instead?

Tried LMT Launcher and Gravity Box with expanded desktop on... I get pie but the navbar won't go away whatever I do. Do I need a custom rom?

I use LMT and Gravity Box. Have no problems at all. Had 4.7.4, 4.7.5 and now 4.7.6.
Turn on navbar settings and turn off navbar- these two steps on Gravity Box. And do not forget to turn off navi panel in phone setings after that.

I don't know what "navi panel" is or how to turn it off. If you mean Hide the navigation bar in Buttons, I've already tried that and the navbar doesn't actually go away.

JOnePlus Tools is a pretty cool app I didn't know about. So now I can turn off the navbar completely, but pie won't trigger from the bottom without it. I was reading the LMT thread and it turns out there's an issue with the latest OxygenOS... guess I'll wait for a fix.

I disabled Nav bar using jOneplustools app via new quick settings option and use this app instead. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation&hl=en_GB


called: Swipe Navigation

Makes phone work similar bottom gesture wise to iphone x.
I'm curious, does swipe navigation works straight away right after a reboot? When I used it I had to wait several seconds to see the toast (swipe navigation roots rights granted or something like that) and it seemed there was a little latency for each move. Now I'm using Xposed edge (require Xposed obviously) and it is functional right away

I use JOnePlusTools to disable the navbar and Unique Controls (plus the companion app) and I will never go back to LMT or any other pie nav. I admit, it doesn't take a few seconds to kick in, but it is extremely accurate and customizable. You may even be able to stop the delay by adding it as a system app and bumping up its place in the boot order.

I can't speak for everyone but personally for me it works straight away without any delay. From the moment I do a swipe up gesture the result is instant without any lag or delay at all.

For Beta 2 you may use "Hide Navigation Bar" module for magisk. Because gravitybox still not available for Android 8.0
I use it, when I moved from 4.7.6 to Beta 2. LMT works fine (all screen sides).
