I love my screen space, so my only concern with the LG G2 was the on screen Nav Bar eating up my precious screen. So I began my hunt to find a solution, now I am on T-mobile and development is starting off slower than the other carriers so after some searching here is my solution to remove the Nav Bar and LMT (pie control) on my LG G2 T-mobile (801).
Step 1: Download and install GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys&hl=en Pro version is required for the last step to work.
Step 2: Download latest LMT Launcher v1.912 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150&page=686 1. Install apk 2. Open app 3. Swipe Activate Tochservice to ON 4. Check auto start 5. Open Set Gesture Input and select #4 6:The rest are customization options, user choice
Step 3: Open GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys 1. Swipe Enable to ON 2. Check Hide Soft Keys 3. Check Start on Boot 4. Make sure Notification is not checked (Pro) 5. Open Navigation option and click none (Pro)
Make sure you are rooted and give permissions every time you are asked
Enjoy
This is tested on T-mobile but I do not see any reason why it would not work on other versions of the G2
What's the purpose of the LMT launcher?

Nicely done! I'll give this a shot tonight.
Hi i'm searching for this all day
Finally the solution was autohide PRO..
In this way both app will run in background occupying RAM, right? Amount?
Forget LMT and auto hide pro...There is a app that is ALOT better than both of them.Search for UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar) It will let you hide the big LG soft keys completely,and replace them with its keys that are fully customisable and can be as tiny as you want them to, and they can hide also (same as Auto hide pro).Just remember to unhide the LG keys from settings before you off it tho.
sorry for double post
I don't get it when I follow the instructions and the final step when I click PRO, I lose my Nav bar and have no soft keys at all

You have to completely set up LMT first, try setting the trigger area to the bottom and right side so when getting rid of the nav bar you can use the pie controls.

LMT allows you to swipe from a chosen trigger point. It gives you pie control like nav bar.

Yupppppp UDN is clutch in combination with the Auto hide softkeys app..
auto hide softkeys to get rid of the softkeys
and udn for the hideable customizable new softkeys... the fact that the softkeys stay on the screen until you touch elsewhere is clutch... its annoying not being able to repeatly press a softkey without it collapsing on you, and with udn, it doesnt do that

I dont know,i dont have any issues,i got the Korean model F320S tho.Still it doesnt matter how we do it,as long as we do what we need.
To hide the soft keys without any app add this to the bottom of your build.prop
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Do it with a build.prop editor so you get the right permissions and so on.
Don't forget to set up LMT first.

It doesn't even look half bad with a smaller navigation bar.. But I might get rid of it anyways

Is there a way to auto-hide the top notification bar just like the app mentioned and its effects on the navigation bar?
I have been using Android phones for years, but never did I find, after hours of searching, something like this. Full screen potential.
What I'm asking is like what an app named " Smart Statusbar" does. The only problem with this is that it only works with apps that hide the notification bar, not all apps.
Thanks!

Sorry, forgot to say that you need to be rooted for this.
Othervice for example this editor sets correct permissions automatically when you save.
Use the pencil icon when adding the line, not the +.

I've just received my new G2 so I haven't yet done as much reading about it as I like but my first impressions are good However....one of my main reasons for buying this device was the 5.2 inches of hd screen real estate and how clever LG managed to cram such a large screen onto a relatively small device by using on screen navigation buttons in place of hardware buttons.
After playing with my device for a while it would appear that I cannot hide these navigation buttons (without root) so I am losing a large proportion of my screen estate
I noticed that in some streaming apps, the buttons magically disappear giving me a full screen view but this doesn't appear to be the case for all apps. Am I missing something here or is that just how it is?
It would seem a bit pointless to me creating such a beautiful large screen and not be able to utilise it properly
I am hoping that I am, indeed, missing a hidden setting or tweek somewere and am hoping that someone here will enlighten me. I will probably root if it is necessary but I would then have to forgo my skygo streaming which requires an un-rooted device :crying:
HELP!
There is unfortunately no solution to this without routing your device. I tried a lot of apps, ie button savior (which worked for giving me virtual home button and so on) and full-screen toggle which didn't work. It seems that the only solution is to root it.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
So if you hide the navigation bar, how do you expect to go home or back? If you use custom roms or xposed you can shrink it to be a lot smaller, which is the best of both worlds
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
If you read my post, you would have your answer, mate. Button savior gives you the ability to toggle home, back and menu buttons in a way similar to pie controls where you slide from one side to toggle them.

Hmm, did not read this thread. Just wanted to ask, why you think you will have to forget about that app?
Have a look on Root Cloak there are 2 active ones one from Xposed the other on Cydia Substrate. Not sure they work for your app too.
But if you decide to root it should be worth a look.
Pie.. I used that on my gnex.

I second this one. It works great for any apps I've tried. I used it on my Note 8 to hide root for using the Stock reader app all the time.
Is there a way to disable the navbar and not just hide it? I want to be able to use gestures without having the navbar appearing when I swipe from the bottom.

Clearly not what he's looking for. Currently there's no option to disable it altogether globally. Only option to hide it on a per app basis, which not all apps support.

I was looking for a way to completely disable it but I don't think it's possible without root. I enabled expended mode via ADB but my ultimate goal was to not make it appear when I scroll up from the bottom so I can use apps such as all in one gesture
There are some ways, but i guess they all need root. there is an xposed module : xposed edge pro, that can remove the navbar. or you can change the build.prop hw.mainkeys=1
i did that but the thing is when you completely remove the navbar every app that is not set to 18:9 scaling will not load. just give a black screen. that is not a problem as you can just switch all apps to 18:9 scaling in settings. except some few system dialogs that will not show anymore like the longpress menu when e.g. clicking on a link in chrome or on a message to copy it.
iv been on that issue for a long time now. it is definitely related with completely removing the navbar as the system then does not scale some screens accordingly anymore.
i tried the build.prop, whereas there are more settings related with the screen and ratio (ro.lge.app_scaling=1) (ro.lge.aspect.ratio=18:9) and (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1) i dont know what the first two settings really do but i tried different settings
then there is the possibility via the xposed edge app, which does not change the build.prop. so it hast to change it in some other way, i dont know.
and i found a thread to change scaling via the service menu *#546368#*930# -svc menu -force long display mode -on from this thread.
ive tried all different settings combined in different ways and was not able to remove the navbar without that problem.
if anybody has more knowledge i would be glad to have some help
cheers DK

Agreed. I had an issue with the nav bar NOT appearing when I wanted. It kept disappearing in my corporate email and I had to force it up from the bottom to appear. I was puzzled, why is this happening only with this app? I finally figured out how to go into the nav bar settings and disable that for that app. For some reason that app (called Nine) was enabled to hide the nav bar.
I have the opposite problem. Except for when I'm watching videos, I do want to see the nav bar. This screen is tall enough that I don't need a totally "immersive" experience just reading email or looking at news articles.
And I use Nova launcher, of course. Who uses stock launcher?
There's this guide for a galaxy S8 but I haven't gotten it to work on my V30. I don't know if APKs are device specific or should work for all android devices. I have also been looking for a way to disable my nav bar.

Nobody. Except launchers still have nothing to do with what OP was looking for. I switch between Nova and action launcher and would recommend them to anyone not using as well, just baffled that he asked how to disable navbar entirely and the answer was install Nova...followed by the assertion that he needs to be told this even though its not what he asked and there was nothing to suggest he's not already using a 3rd party launcher

I found how to hide the nav bar for specific apps months ago (and indeed have all of the available apps flicked to off), but I cannot find the universal switch anywhere. Where exactly is it?
Under Settings/Display/Home Touch Buttons, I only see three options: Button combination, Color, and Hide Home Touch Buttons.
The Hide Home Touch Buttons screen is the one I found months ago, but I don't see a universal switch there.
Thanks.

For me, when I go to Home Touch Buttons in settings and click "Hide Home Touch Buttons" it gives me a list for every app where I can toggle to hide the home buttons. There's also a toggle option at the top of this page that says "Lock/hide icon" -- that's the universal button.
Though this doesn't hide the home buttons on the home screen for me. Does it hide them on the home screen for anyone else? I can't figure out how to do that and my Nova launcher prime doesn't have the option.

Thought that was just the icon that shows up on the left-hand side of the nav bar when in an app where the nav bar can be hidden.
That's not a universal on/off switch for the nav bar system-wide, is it?

Is there any mod or anyone who can develop oneplus gestures available for 5t or 6 for lg v30 instead of navbar?
Before anyone suggest xda gestures app i don't want that...! Purely gestures on lg stock firmware?
there is a small program - navigation gestures.
available at playstore. it simulates the gesture control with swipes, but has some drawbacks i couldn't fix, so decided to uninstall it. but you may try if it fits to you.

unfortunately it is not possible to remove the pill by making Asus native gestures work. What is possible is to remove the pill (using the entire screen) and use gestures from third-party applications. For me it is the best option. root is required

On March 31, Asus released an update (WW-33.0804.2060.113) that allows you to hide the navigation bar. There's a new learning curve when navigating with gestures without the navigation bar, and after a month like that, I don't miss the navigation bar.
