Hiding the navigation bar NO ROOT, non-immersive via ADB

[montajd]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a juicy little piece of information I came across today. If you already knew about it great, for those who don't, listen up!
On Oreo, setting the navbar height to 0pt does not work. So instead, do this!

adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-143

That's all you need. It can also be used to set the height of the navbar to your liking. -143 just happens to be the value at which no trace of the navbar can be seen, and apps will utilize the whole screen, similar to immersive.

Why would someone want this? Easy, gestures. I personally use OnePlus Gestures, but choose whatever you want!
Anyways, enjoy!

To reset back to original settings:

adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0

Do u have pics of how this looks?

So would changing -143 to 0 bring it back? Would like to try this on mine to see if it works with Android P DP2

This is correct, that resets it, forgot to mention that

The OnePlus Gestures app in the Play Store

And the settings can be reverted, I've updated the OP to reflect how to do so.

Oh yeah I see what you mean, probably older apps will be affected by that

Have you tried the XDA navigation gestures app?
It says it's able to remove the bar without using immersive

Yes I have tried it, I do not like it personally, but I think it's using the same command, given it requires granting it system write permissions in order to hide the navbar

Same here that's why I'm sticking with OnePlus Gestures

Hello!!.. I use this also to hide my navbar but with -170

Haven't seen the navbar since then

The only thing that you will miss are the bottom accesses on the lockscreen (camera, assistant), although they are still accessible by swiping from corners...

For gestures I use "Edge gestures".

I didn't even think about that, I have those disabled with Substratum, thanks for pointing that out though

Cool, but OnePlus gestures doesn't seem to work on Android P. It has no functionality.
