Hide your Navigation Bar

[mackentosh]

You can hide your navigation bar using the "Custom Navigation Bar" app. It works great, no root needed just Grant permission using adb. It'll definitely give your screen more real estate and prevent screen burn ins. Just swipe up and the navigation bar reappears with a transparent background.

Is there a way to re-enable long press home for google assistant and long press apps for dual window?

It's workiing for me but I had to turn immersive mode off and back on after I installed this app to get GA working. Don't theme the buttons or GA won't work

can use adb to hide only navigation bar, or only status bar or both.
i am currently hiding only navigation bar and loving it so far.

Hiding the status bar doesn't work well with device, it throw off the touch sensor, for example if you were to try and click on a link you couldn't youd have to touch just below the link to click the link

My Phone arrived today, unlocked the Bootloader and installed the Android 8.0 Beta on it, the Commands for whitelisting every app doesn't work here, can someone help? The Commands are accepted on adb, but after Reboot for example the Youtube App is still NOT Fullscreen or Instagram either

With this app majority of all apps are full screen, Instagram definitely is

i dont like this. try youtube, remove the navbar and full screen on landscape, the aspect ratio is very odd

FYI this isn't an OLED screen, so burn-in isn't a reason to do this. LCD doesn't have that issue.

Great info was looking for something like this.
With custom nav bar the keyboard pops up like it is suppose to.
with the other app the keyboard had problems displaying, bought the pro version.
