Hiding navigation bar but keeping status bar on Android 6.0.1 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to compile Android Marshmallow so that status bar (top) would be visible but navigation bar (bottom) hidden?
I am trying to compile Android Marshmallow for GeekBox device and so far I could either show both status and navigation bar or hide them completely. I need to have status bar so that all kinds of notifications would come up, but I hate seeing navigation bar when playing games which probably doesn't implement immersive mode correctly.
By default status and navigation bars are hidden, so I make them appear by editing following file:
mmallow/frameworks/base/packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/statusbar/SystemBars.java
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Finding:
Code:
if ("box".equals(SystemProperties.get("ro.target.product", "tablet"))){
And replacing it with:
Code:
if ("true".equals(SystemProperties.get("ro.rk.systembar.tabletUI", "false"))){

find a way to hide status bar completely either through your rom (i know aokp has that option) or find another app that does it. Then, get smart statusbar in the play store. free version does everything that you need but pro has some extra features such as the status bar reappearing when you get a notification.

Hiding status and navigation bar? Immersive

Hi,
i would like to hide navigation bar so i can use PIE for navigation but the navigation bar showing up when swiping from the bottom. For me it is ok that i can show the status bar by swiping from top
So how can I disable navigation bar from showing up when i swipe, but let the status bar function by swiping from top to down when i want
Thanks a lot!
Semi immersive is great, it doesnt show the navigation bar when i swipe from bottom to show PIE, but it shows the status bar, is it possible that it show the status bar only when i swipe from top to bottom, not when i show PIE, i hope i explained it a lil bit better now

Hiding the navigation bar?

I've found the option for the notification bar, but I can't seen to find a way to hide the navigation bar. The option for color for ht nav bar doesn't appear to do anything either.
Am I just totally missing how you hide the nav bar? I use pie so I really don't need the softkeys hanging out at the bottom.

Hi,
For now the navigation bar can't be hidden, but its color can be changed in the Advanced Settings menu. What device do you have? As changing it in the Advanced Settings menu should do the trick.

Looking in the advanced settings, I do not see anything about navigation bar.

Hi,
It's titled Notification Bar (in the advanced settings), which lets you change both the color of the navigation bar and notification bar. Sorry for the mix up.

[Guide] - How to hide shealth status bar icon

Go into shealth app notifications (swipe down,swipe across shealth,touch the cog on the left)
for me as I'm using steps it's then.....
Ongoing
and choose silent and minimised for current steps.
That's basically it,shealth steps is still active in the drop down but status bar icon is gone.
This approach may probably work for most other apps status bar icons?
