[TIP] Immersive Mode for Navigation Buttons

[KOLIOSIS]

Prefer the navigation buttons but,wish you could hide them all,or,on a per-app basis ? (no such animal on this phone as-is,unlike LG's,one of the nice touches LG pulls off flawlessly)
There's a few apps in the Google Play Store that do just this & no root required.
I'm using this one,but,have used others w/similar results:

This one I've used as well,works flawlessly:

You will need to use ADB to enable the hide function,afterwards,you're good to go.
(each app has its own unique command,but,accomplishes the same thing,see each app for details regarding the exact ADB command).

One MAJOR added benefit:
Before using this app,most apps that were full screen were lopped off at the bottom,just above the radius (on the left or right in landscape,however you use landscape).
Using this app helps to fully hide the quick settings on the bottom of the screen,which I think was the culprit. (You can still swipe up to access quick settings & navigation buttons).
Now,all apps,especially those that we bought this phone for (games/You-Tube & the like),can be fully enjoyed utilizing the entire display.

There's a setting under Settings\System Navigation that'll let you hide all three nav buttons at the bottom of the screen and still function as they should. You can even flip the order of the buttons. You can hide them completely or select small dots to represent them, or you can select small underscore symbols. The left is for Control Center. The center is Home screen. The right is the Back button. You trigger them by swiping up.

Yeah, that's true, but, this method gives you more control on a per app basis, that's the reason I posted this.
VIVO's take on it is a step in the right direction, but, IMHO, as with most of their software choices, is severely flawed,too much iOS inspiration & not enough common sense for a cleaner & functional U/I.
