ok is there any mod out there to make use of the full screen and make the home - back - menu buttons which are on the bottome of the screen to make them the buttons on the back of the phone. ??
that would be really cool . and just control the volume through the phone etc.....
sorry if im using wrong thread to post this .....
No they arent any. And that would be a huge pain in the butt.
I haven't tried it myself but [APP] ButtomRemapper - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
This advertises exactly what you asked for. I've also wanted to figure out a way to save screen space so I tested out a few options, check them out if you're interested.
1) pick a method to replace your navigation buttons:
[XPOSED] GravityBox (tested, working) - has the ability to add CyanogenMod PIE navigation menu to the stock rom.
LMT Launcher (tested, working) - had the ability to add a customizable PIE like navigation menu to the stock rom.
[XPOSED/APP] Ultimate Dynamic Navbar (tested, working) - what I'm currently using, customizable nav bar (lets you adjust height, change the icons, change the nav items / order, color, transparency etc.), best of all it has options to automatically hide the nav bar while it isn't needed, it shows the bar when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen and disappears again if it's not being used.
2) remove the default navigation bar after (warning: MAKE SURE one of the replacements works before doing this!)
edit your build.prop and add this line to the bottom of the file, or use Build Prop Editor (market).
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Thanks sockets api ,
ill give it a go
Knock knock knock
It would be great if the phone would utilize the knock knock gesture for something like this.
* Knock Knock Knock - phone on/off
* Knock Knock - Hide/reveal buttons
With UDN app (lite version on Google Play, full version here on XDA) you can customize and make navigation bar transparent, easily toggle it on and off. It's not quite what you requested, but it works really nice. Requires root.
Search for LMT and auto hide soft keys... Both great apps that will solve your problem.

There's no way to make knock-on work too power the phone on. The touch screen can't sense a knock if the phone is off.

Hey guys, I'm running Dogg Rom at the moment, but I have the Xposed Framework set up, and of course root, so I'm open to just about any solution possible.
Anyway, I'm looking for 3 things to make me feel right at home: Hiding the Navbar and making it show up with a swipe from where it would be, and "Hold back to kill" the current app.
Here's what I've tried so far:
GMD Autohide: This gives me the hide Navbar and swipe abilities, but I can't enable hold back to kill with GravityBox; My guess is that it actually just turns off the native nav bar and replaces it with a new one that has the functionality.
GravityBox: With this, I can enable expanded Desktop, and I can enable hold back to kill, however, I can't get get the Navbar to show back up without turning off Expanded desktop; I can't even get PIE Controls to work.
If anyone knows, I'd appreciate it.

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.

install Nova Launcher 5.2
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?

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

You can allow specific apps to hide the navbar, or there is a universal as well. It can be found in setting/display/Home Touch Buttons

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.

I also tried Navigation Gestures (even bought it) but switched to Fluid Navigation, I feel it works better but still not as well as my former OP6 or iPhone but well enough to keep on my V30.
Theres a line at the bottom, when i type something often tapping on this line and phone goes to home screen

In this (Fluid NG) app you can set the lowest sensitivity. I think it might help.

Is it possible to change the diagonal gesture from Google assistant to something else?
I really like gesture navigation, especially because of screen space, and there's no minimize function in the 3 button navigation which isn't great.
Anyway, would be great to modify the gesture or somehow add the minimize functionality to the 3 button navigation.

I have been using a Magisk module to hide the swipe gesture bar entirely on mine, and had previously used 3 buttons as well (using the gesture because then floating Gboard has more room and no forced space on the side for 3-buttons even when hidden) via "Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q-S), have it set to fully hide the gesture bar, and have been relying on "Xposed Edge Pro" for my actual gesture navigation and customizing of it, since I've changed my Moto G Power 2021 into a Watch (modified build prop to force landscape even by system apps and more ). So have Riru and Lsposed naturally via Magisk as well. Just some ways to pull that off.

Awesome!
Which version of riru works with edxposed?
I've tried a few and can't get edxposed to find any of them when installing.
EDIT:
I just noticed you said you installed Lsposed, got it installed successfully and i'm going to be checking out xposed edge pro, thanks a lot!
EDIT 2:
For those wanting a step by step to accomplish this. Not sure exactly how you got yours setup @Onoitsu2, but this way works for me.
First enable 3 button navigation (search navigation in settings)
Install "Xposed Edge" from here, enable it in Lsposed, reboot.
Xposed edge | Xposed Module Repository
repo.xposed.info
Enable the gestures in Xposed Edge, definitely at least a home gesture, a back gesture, and maybe a recent apps gesture. If you do not do this before the next step, you may have to restore a backup.
Note that gestures from the bottom of the screen will not work when the keyboard is open, so I created a back gesture from the side of the screen like the stock one. Then you can tap back to close the keyboard, other things could be used too, like a toggle soft keyboard among others I'm sure.
Then follow this guide.
[MOD][Magisk] Disable Navbar For 3rd-Party Navigation Gestures

It only seems to happen when I use my fingerprint to unlock.

I would recommend enabling the gesture nav actually, as with the 3 buttons enabled, you actually lose screen real estate from invisible sections it keeps there in gboard and other keyboards as well, if you use the Android gesture nav it opens up that space as it seems to read that state in the gboard app and honors it, even if hidden or not it still gives the room. But then that "Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q-S)" Magisk module, run through the console it has you answer questions. Once you have Xposed Edge set up right, you can use that to fully hide the Android gesture nav, and get full screen space overall.
As for your crashing system UI, it sounds like you may have the double tap gesture enabled still for your power button. When I rooted, I think that is the only thing that I lost access to, just stopped working, but reader itself worked fine. I did have some issues when I left that option on in Settings, with System UI being dumb at times as I think it tried to trigger it but would not work properly. Just a thought, since I've come to use Xposed Edge and the shortcut panel instead, much more feature rich than the stock panel.

Awesome thanks for the tips.
I tried installing the full screen gestures module but I couldn't figure out how to disable the assistant gesture. I don't remember exactly, but I thought it only asked to disable the back button gestures, however I wouldn't doubt that I'm wrong ther on that. I'll have to reinstall it and try it the way your describing here.

I used that module to not only alter the gestures, but turn that gesture nav fully off, hiding it entirely relying only on Xposed Edge Pro for navigations on my device actually. No System UI crashes here, nor other quirks that way like keyboard going dumb and not permitting swiping from bottom (be sure you look at Xposed Edge's settings and tweak them, it's worth it messing versus defaults)

I just reinstalled it a bunch of times and you do get a lot more options if you choose immersive instead of Fullscreen.
It seems that no matter which options I choose and regardless of whether or not you use the 3 button or gesture system navigation, there's still a tiny black bar on the bottom of the screen.
The black bar is in exactly the same place as it is during boot. When compared to the top of the screen which goes all the way to the top, the bottom bar still has a little part of unused space.
Did you manage to extend the screen all the way to the bottom, as it does with the top of the screen?
It's definitely extended more, but it would be awesome to get the entire screen space.
On a side note, do you know if there's a way to force all apps to be completely fullscreen and go all the way to the very top with the status bar hidden?
When I hide the status bar and turn it into landscape mode with the status bar hidden, I do get to use the full space in the app readera for example, but when using it in portrait mode, the space just goes unused despite checking off all apps to go around the camera whole in settings. For example, Firefox doesn't use the full space at the top of the screen, even with the status bar hidden.

Have you tried in multitasking list, tap on app's icon, it has a pullout of options that show like Full screen and if enabled split screen as another. That is the only thing I've used to make it fill up that upper notch area the camera is housed in. Mine is set to (Developer Options > Display Cutout) Device default. You want yours set to Hide to use the full space as often as possible I believe.
If you're on A11, When you go to Settings > Display and tap Advanced to expand the menu, do you have an option labeled "Full Screen" ? From there you can choose the apps you'd like to run full screen, of course this assumes the app is compatible and capable to do so.
