I just found an app that messes things up with this and shows buttons "below" the screen - miHome for Xiaomi home automation :) Damn chinese :) :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] azezamere:
This method is amazing in my s8 plus as All gesture works prefect . i have set to -126 which i can use scroll capture fine . if i use -127 scroll capture give me error system ui stops so the best number for me is -126 and thaks for this methor as i was using substratum method it was not realy good as this one .
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pituralex:
After seeing all this good feedback im set to buy the app and install this mod, but i want to use X Home Bar app ( it creates a bar like iphone x has) .

Question is will the bar stay at to bottom of screen or it will shift down with the nav bar? Thx!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Namolas:
I used X home bar pretty extensively and my biggest problem was the keyboard blocks it and without an alternative navbar in addition to X Home Bar you get stuck with no way to exit, home, or otherwise back out of some apps.

Also to answer you question I just tried and issuing the Adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-210 from the OP does indeed move the X Home Bar app down with the navbar, making it completely unusable.

EDIT: Actually I need to revise what I said after trying a few more things. If you have immersive mode enabled AND the adb command from the OP enabled, it is completely unusable. However if you just use the adb command from the OP without immersive mode enabled, X Home Bar is completely usable (with the exception of the keyboard blocking it as mentioned before).

EDIT2: Last one I promise. Set the bottom margin to 50% in X Bar Home and it works with the adb command and immersive mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dharmapoudel:
It works perfectly fine. Thanks a lot OP.

Here are few tips if its not working properly for you.

1. Do not enable immersive mode (disable auto hiding of navbar wherever possible, double tap that dot on nav bar to keep the navbar)

2. Use adb command to push navbar down. I used solid explorer while doing it so that I can see where it gets hidden completely,

3. Once you figure out the value where it disappears completely, set the actual value to one minus the value you just got. (Say if its -120 set it to 0,0,0,-119). This keeps the hard press home button and solves keyboard issue.

4. Use your app to set the gestures. This should really be the first step. I use swipe navigation.

5. Reboot

6. If you are still not able to use the gestures use bixby to navigate ('back', 'go home', 'open recently used apps', 'close all apps', 'close app x')

7. Open your app of choice for swipe gestures and set it again. You dont have to reboot this time.

Well folks thats how I got mine working. Let me know how it goes. I can share SS of swipe settings if you need.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] treezy26:
Just wanted to chime in and say I'm using swipe navigation. I find it very reliable and works great with this mod. I would recommend buying the unlocked version as it has more options to choose from.

I also use edge gestures for when the bottom is too far to reach lol

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marriusf81:
I can confirm that everything works. I've set mine to -127 and use swipe navigation , disabled immersive navigation bar and erything seems good and responsive. The keyboard is responsive the swipe navigation app works like a charm. Thanks for the workaround.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] treezy26:
Which screen resolution are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdawgg21:
I am trying to use swipe up from the bottom to go to home after setting my gestures and it will not work. Recents and back work from the sides perfectly fine but the Home will not when swiping up. Please someone help. I have an S8 Plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirz:
Which gesture app? Perhaps you moved the navigation bar too down. Try increasing the value of the last number in the Adb command. Note that its a negative number.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdawgg21:
I'm using Edge Gestures. And I tried Swipe Navigation and still the same thing
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirz:
Then your likely using too low if a number and hence your Mac bar move too down.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdawgg21:
Mine is set to 0,0,0-100
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] inimaitimepass:
disable immersive mode or disable show/hide navigation bar option before executing the mod.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] EMJI79:
I personally am using full HD on the Note 8 and would want to know if someone tried in this condition and what is the appropriate number.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdawgg21:
Haha. Actually I got it. THANKS!!!! Had to go into settings

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] treezy26:
Ok cool. I'm actually using -168 on my Note 8 with WQHD. Running smoothly so far.

On another note, how are you guys launching Samsung Pay? Before I just swiped from the bottom but can't anymore. Now I have to use the fingerprint gesture which is not practical for me.

Working

On my s8+ i found -140 to be the sweet spot where the top of the nav was just of screen

Using gesture control again :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clarkcant:
Thanks for posting this. I'm currently using a Substratum overmay to hide the navbar completely. The only drawback is that when the keyboard is up there is no way of getting it down, as the navbar does not show up under the keyboard. Does tour method have this issue as well?

---------- Post added at 07:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 AM ----------

I use X Home Bar and have the same keyboard issue (see previous posr). Have you found a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Namolas:
Just a few work arounds. Use Bixby voice commands to go back or home or sidesqueeze assigned to back works.

Really is my favorite home button replacement. I just wish the developer would at at least entertain the idea of a work around, even if it required adb or root.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simple man:
Thank you so much for sharing this, I've been searching for a way to completely hide the navbar without Root. Now Gesture Control can actually be used as intended. ?:svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rippedwarrior69:
X home pro has a option to have bar above keyboard. I use it on 7.1.1 it works perfect. I'm mean it's as close to iphone x bar gestures as you can get on android.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rajone9:
that function is not available in Android 8

Use this app: Gesture Control - Next Level Navigation
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] simple man:
That's what I'm using, it works very well. I also use Edge Gestures, for pull and slide volume, and brightness control.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rajone9:
i use swipe navigation, the best one
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirz:
One side affect I'm noticing is that hard pressing the home button doesn't take me out of apps. It just vibrates and that's it.

Also, I can't seem to swipe up to home if I'm on a phone call. Swipe to home also doesn't work during VoIP calls in apps like what's app or DUO.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cleubs:
I could only make the hard pressing button work if I had immersive mode enabled through adb (navbar only or full) or done the command with the navbar hidden Samsung system style via normal settings, but as a downside I had FC in scroll captures :(

I couldn't find any magic number people here said that could offset the navbar and keep these functions fully working.

I don't know if I got it wrong from what's being said here and i assumed it worked or just doing something wrong...

Anyone can reply clarifying this for me?

With this adb command, and the right offset amount (variable for each screen resolution, as it looks like), is it possible to keep the hard pressing button AND scroll capture working w/ no visible navbar?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirz:
Well for me scroll capture works but not hard pressing home button. I'm not using immersive mode of any kind. I have a s8+ using FHD resolution, nova launcher and using adb command value of -126 to hide the navigation bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cleubs:
The only scenarios I noticed the hard press button work with this mod (because I'm really used to it and I press it everytime thinking it will work) is in YouTube w/ a full screen video or when you tap to open a picture in gallery and tap it again so only the picture is showing with no menus and a black background or just full screen picture depending on size ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] luisshnyder:
Interesting enough, mine work everywhere you said. ? Can't figure out what's causing your phone to do that
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirz:
Well I noticed that it doesn't work if you answer a call while your phone was locked. If the phone is unlocked then the gesture works.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirz:
Thanks. But what us the real reason to use "FloatingMenu" ? Is it just to have some invisible home bar sort of thing?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] frankhuang2013:
FloatingMenu is for getting a bottom gesture bar. Since all in one gesture does not work if immersive is on. Follow my steps and u will see why it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirz:
Right i just realized it when i tested. My bottom swipe gesture stopped working when i enabled immersive mode.

by the way, why is your Apk for floatingmenu better than from the play store? Can we trust your apk :) ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] frankhuang2013:
I trust the developer because I know him. He updates this app's apk version first, then updates the play store. That means the play store version is too old. And the old version cannot adjust the bottom bar's height to be higher than the height of navbar, which will cause it cannot be reached after using adb command.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirz:
so let me ask a dumb question. With floatingmenu doing all the gestures for you. Why is all in one gesture needed at all?

Bt the way until i read your method. I've been using the method in this thread to hide the navbar along with all in one gestures.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] frankhuang2013:
Two cases All in one gesture is still necessary.

IME and Landscape.

All in one gesture becomes the backup bottom bar, both apps together garentees all the situations you have a bottom bar to use. and they don't cover any content of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirz:
i see . Thank you for your help. I will test it out more.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] frankhuang2013:
really? me and others tried many times using different ways. Still cannot make it working because all in one gesture cannot adjust it height more than the height of navbar. How do u do it? any special settings or tricks? I really want to know how to do it. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JuanraNunez:
Hi guys,

Did any of you found a fix or a workaround for edge lighting at the bottom using this method?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] @xDeepS:
I am on S8 WQHD+. I have used this code:

adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-168

It hides the navbar at the perfect height so Google Photos delete menu fully shows, and theres no weird keyboard drag on bottom. Lockscreen buttons go low but are still accessible.

I think I did lose the force touch on home button but thats fine. I use edge gestures, its more intuitive.

Tip: Make sure you have a way to navigate when you change power saving mode because fluctuation in resolution will mess things up. You have to stick to one resolution!

MUCH better than that stupid substratum+mod/immersive mode; it had a bug where you had to use full immersive or there would be an invisible gap.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 AM ----------

I think I found a fix for the home button force touch. After setting whatever you need to, go and get this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.draco.immersive

You'll have to adb your way through to enable the app.

Once it's on, select: Enable Immersive Nav Bar. That'll enable the home button force touch. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ru_dimka:
Thanks a lot!

I read that I have to leave enabled immersive mode, but it is now worked. Disable it and now eveything is ok.

How to fix issue with full screen apps? YouTube, gallery, etc
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] luisshnyder:
What's the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ru_dimka:
Gestures does not work when I wathcing a video in a full screen mode, or make a photo from lockscreen and open it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cleubs:
I think it's a problem from the gesture app you use... I use Edge Gestures and I know that it doesn't work with the device locked. It's an issue within the app and not in the workaround itself. It won't work with the device locked, so if I open the camera from the lockscreen > take a picture > click the gallery bubble in the camera app... I'll be stuck there, not being able to go back to the camera, bc there's no back button and the device is technically locked. (BTW I remapped bixby button to "back" when the device is locked so I can live w/that issue)

From what I've read in this and other threads about this subject there are some apps that works under this condition but I can't remember the name... I've seen too much about it already :eek:

I'm not sure about this full video issue you pointed... W/ Edge Gestures it works just fine... Wether it's a full screen video in gallery w/ Samsung's default video player or VLC or MX Player or You Tube.

It may be a limitation of the app you chose or just some misconfiguration...

Hope you can find what's wrong. ;)

Assuming you know how to use adb commands, just go on terminal and type

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*

Navigation bar will disappear, and only show when you swipe down. If for some reason want to revert just type

adb shell settings put global policy_control null*

Hey thanks for sharing this since I have an S8 with Oreo I can't hide my nav Bar so thank u , I do have one small issue , I'm using the navigation gesture app from XDA works very well and allows me to don't have the lock screen shortcuts half hided , I'm using the value of 168 it fully hides the nav Bar until I press the home button or the always on screen comes on , after that I get a small thin white lind at the bottom of the screen , mostly when the keyboard pops up and on some apps and settings , I was wondering if I can apply this command per app ? So I don't hey the white line ? Thank u

Did u tried the app ? I like it and want to use it , its practical and looks good , when i apply the adb command given on this tutorial to hide the nav Bar there's no white bar at the bottom with the navbar gestures from XDA , but it I lock the phone and always on display comes on and I force press the home button to unlock the one , a white bar shows up under the keyboard and settings menu and some apps , doesn't matter what Vale I apply over adb command , I'm using 168 but tried 210 and it's the same it works until the always on display comes on

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] kickassdave:
Good day all,

I'm going to be in receipt of a Global Mi Mix 2 shortly and would like to ask what the best method of unlocking/rooting the device is?

I see some comments around going to Oreo update first?

I had a Mi5 in the past and the best way to do this was via official means --> Request unlock code --> Receive code via text --> Use official app to unlock phone --> Now flash TWRP via fastboot etc..

Is this still the same with this device or can you unlock the bootloader unofficially?
