Swiping up from the bottom as well will also bring up the keyboard when needed for those situations. Minor annoyance, and may take a swipe or two to trigger it, but much better than having to temp disable the mode for that app.

Definitely an awesome app nonetheless, and yet another reason the days of rooting (for me anyway) are no longer a necessary step for these newer phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PapaWangsta:
The bummer part is that backspace button is not working correctly. You have to restore nav bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pwrmedia:
Agreed!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] psufan5:
Dumb question but, how do you go back and bring up open apps etc if they bar isnt there?

There is a problem with GMD : When it goes immersive, apps like all in one gesture that can be used for eliciting navigation actions does not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PapaWangsta:
Email the dev., I'm sure he can make adjustments.

I usually use gestures as well on rooted phones after disabling the navigation bar. Can you completely disable the navigation bar without root though?

i try to open via adb but the line command mybe not good or i am a noob .

i can confirm that adb work i installed more local via adb .

can some one help please mybe i am not typing something right .

thnx .
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
It disables the navigation bar completely but it pops up if you try to swipe up from the bottom of the screen and then disappears automatically in 2 sec.

Apps like gmd and some others can completely disable navigation bar with no popups but I find that none of the other gesture apps works from the edge of the screen. The only app that seems to work in that situation is swipepad

this is the command that I used

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] h4ck3r69:
if this is true then i dont really see a point removing the nav bar..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PapaWangsta:
Well, if u need the keyboard, just pull down the status bar(there's icon to restore the status bar).

Keyboard is not always needed, just that bug I'm cool with that. Check the screen cap.

I use the hide system bar app from the Play store it works pretty good
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vaticraig:
sorry for being a noob, playing around with the s8 today the one thing that put me off buying was having the navigation bar at the bottom and still on the side when the phone was rotated in apps so there was a grey bar whilst reading. this was especially frustrating rotated because why remove the bezels it then keep it on the screen.

is this as simple as downloading an app from play store and I can make this disappear to use up the full screen?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SquirtlePoke:
Will this void the phone warranty?

Thank you!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Xshooter726:
BTW some Bixby Remap app's like "All In One Gestures" let you do immersive Mode with a click of the Bixby button in any app. Comes in handy and its free.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Lol....are you asking if downloading and app and installing it voids warranty?

If that was the case we would all be out of warranty since without apps the phone wouldnt be much use.:confused:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Quickvic30:
I ran just the adb command no app and it works great! Has a darker semi transparent status bar that autohides after 2 seconds, swipe up from the bottom and it appears.

This is also a great method to reduce screen burn in of the navbar and navbar buttons that we've all been reading and hearing about.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
Almost close to what u think but to make it work properly u will have to I out some commands via adb.. It is not difficult

Nope it won't... It will take more effort... Especially with a north American version of the device u won't have to worry about rooting for sometime.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Greatbape:
I have my dpi set to 600(tablet mode) and my chrome browser shows tabs like a normal desktop browser. Disabled samsung browser.

I turned samsung pay off on the homescreen. Have it set to screen off or lockscreen. Actually didn't even know I could pull samsung pay up when the screen is completely off. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maze00:
I have tried the ADB methode and it works great !

But the navigation bar hides quickly.

Is it possible to add a delay to it ?

Like 10 seconds before it disaperars ?

Or make it transparant all the time ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vaticraig:
so what else need to do is download adb and

is this the command

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*

is adb easier to use on a mac or windows?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] h4ck3r69:
is there anyway we can remove it permanently ?

I`m looking for a way to keep the nav bar but with no apparent buttons to avoid burn in. Actually, if the whole thing was invisible would be great, but always there. Anyway to do it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Quickvic30:
You could try some adb commands but not sure if it is even possible or not. I tried to adb the timeout of the nav bar and couldn't find the proper command.

I did notice something though, when the navnar isn't on the screen you can long press where the home button is and it brings you back to the home page without the nav bar ever coming up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mlock420:
Pm'd you
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jordanyork:
I think Custom Navigation Bar does this. You need to give it Secure Settings permissions via ADB, but I'm pretty sure you can then set invisible nav buttons.

I don't have a bar on mine at all, just the icons. Wonder if it's a European vs US thing or maybe Snapdragon vs Exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hinds90:
So you need a computer to use this app
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] KING SKILLZ:
works well so far, keyboard pops open in text messaging app as normal, and a simple swipe from the bottom raises the Nav bar. Not sure of the additional features do to being rooted but i will delve further into the App today.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] george.baskharon:
Can u explain better I have no idea what u said after I installed the app
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] eddmecha:
Well the steps are simple but u MUST

1.have a pc/notebook(for non rooted phones)

2.make sure adb is installed

3.download the app

4.tick "Settings Secure" in the app(refer to attached picture)

5.Follow the instructions in the pop up box(tyoe the command in ur adb terminal(in your pc/notebook)

6.set what ever things u want in the second tab after step 5 is done.

P/S-make sure to enable usb debugging in developer mode.

Hope the above is clear.

As far as Immersive mode is concerned, you can now launch it from Quick Settings, a launcher icon, Samsung sidebar, HTC Edge Sense & almost anywhere else you can add an app shortcut, its also configurable!

I wish there was a way to get rid of the navbar (completely) without root so I can use LMT. BxActions has immersive mode as well. I use the bixby button to toggle it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LeeDroid:

That's an interesting thought but not one that can be done programmatically.

You can if you have root by setting qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in the build.prop

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LeeDroid:
The immersive toggle toggles an in built system policy, I don't have any control over how it behaves unfortunately
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
You can completely hide the navigation bar without root and without it popping up with the keyboard or swiping from the lower border of screen.

Install the navigation nar mod by [MENTION=6963384]Tigerhoods[/MENTION] ( See attachment ) . Make sure u have backup plan for navigation bar.. I just use gestures...

To get the navigation bar back u will have to install any other navigation bar of your choice from this thread
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LeeDroid:
I'm intrigued by how this one's Being achieved as I had considered additing a custom nav to Shortcutter along with no root immersive mode..

You have definitely sparked my interest with this one
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
Would love this see this happen with a tile...

may be [MENTION=6963384]Tigerhoods[/MENTION] can shower some light
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LeeDroid:
Similar to what HTC do with their nav bar themes looking at it, Google spits up quite a lot of info..

All these years and I was unaware we could intercept resources in such a manner, although custom ROMs has always been my focus up until Shortcutter
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
Does this actually work where you can use something like LMT Launcher? In the past I've removed the navbar on a few different devices without root but still couldn't use LMT as the system still thought there was the navbar present even though it wasn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:

Hi!

I'd like to know how to re-lock the bootloader of my phone. Please help me.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minimale_ldz:
1. start with this fastboot command:

fastboot oem lock begin

2. flash original firmware

3. end with this command:

fastboot oem lock
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KHEMS91:
First u need to know that, once u relock the bootloader, u can't able to unlock it and even if u relock the bootloader, u can't rid of bootloader unlocked warning (it can be hide by flashing custom bootlogo)

My suggestion is that don't worry leave it unlocked and flash custom bootlogo that can hide bootloader unlocked warning.

After do that, If u want flash stock rom, just skip logo.bin file.

There is so many nougat roms for MXP, u should try one of them.

Flash this file from AnoopKumar's thread, this can hide the bootloader unlocked warning.

Fastboot command: (fastboot flash logo logo.bin)

Mfastboot command: (mfastboot flash logo logo.bin)

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] tifosi256:
Out of nowhere, I suddenly get this:

https://samsung-firmware.org/download/GALAXY Tab PRO/8be3/BTU/T900XXSBPL3/T900OXABOH4/

The Changes text is useless, literally just says "N" - but sure as hell isn't Nougat as it was only 80Mb. Just found it very odd since my 12.2 Pro is so old, I wasn't expecting any updates. And it's too old for the monthly security patch thing on newer devices.

Anyone know what it is about?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Ichijoe:
The 12.2" Pro isn't exactly like its younger siblings the 10.2, and 8.4. which only have 2Gbs of RAM to your 12's 3Gbs. As such you have managed to enjoy Lollipop, where as the rest of us have been left on KitKat. So it wouldn't surprise me that your getting updates. Besides Lollipop may be old, but it is still able to use the Security Updates, from Google. Assuming Samsung were still assed to pass those along.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] tifosi256:
Ah, I had no idea that the smaller ones didn't get lollipop. Let me assure you that updates to my tablet dried up a very long time ago!! That's why I was so surprised to receive this one out of the blue.

Wish they'd release another 12 inch tab :(
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Ichijoe:
Yeah thing is IIRC.. Lollipop is the minimum level required to receive Google's monthly Security Fixes. Which is probably what was updated.

You could simply verify this by checking the Device Settings > About Device. Then scroll down till you spot it.

It might not be Marshmallow, but some of those Updates actually do fix things that needed fixing at the time. e.g Stage fright, or the Qualcomm Quadrooter Bugs.

Has there ever been a tweak or mod where you can have your notification window come from the bottom instead of top? Seems it would be a great feature with the additional screen size.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Nova launcher can do that with gestures. Or there's a setting in the phone to swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to pull the notification panel down or back up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hinds90:
What I was meaning is kinda like the control center on the iphone when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Just totally move the notification screen to the bottom of the screen once you swipe up.

The furthest you're going to reach your finger is to swipe down from the top for the notification window so why not put it at the bottom being that it's something being used a lot through out the day.

I will say samsung has done a lot for reachability just that one little thing I think would make a huge deal.
