Auto hide navigation bar? Mate 10 Pro - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Is there any way to auto hide the nav bar?
At the very least, is there a way to move the hide button from the left side to the right?
I am not rooted.
The screen looks so much better with it out of the way!
Dave

Yes, there is.

How to Hide the Grey Nav Bar on HAM2 Using Emotion UI Settings

Hi All,
It took me a while to figure out, but you can add an option to hide the grey nav bar on an unrooted HAM2 and make it reappear by swiping up. It is somewhat confusing because the nav bar setting is not available if you have your Emotion UI set to the Standard home screen style. You have to apply the "Simple" home screen style first, which is the one with the giant colored buttons for grandma to use.
After you apply the Simple home screen style, go back into settings, select More Settings and then scroll down to the bottom of the list. You will see a new option called "Navigation Bar" has been added. If you press this option you will see a toggle switch for "Hide Navigation Bar" along with some instructions on how to use it. Once you have toggled the switch to hide the navigation bar, you can revert back to the Standard Emotion UI and the setting will be retained.
After I hid the navigation bar I found some apps I had difficulty installing would start to work OK. For example, if you try to install NBA Jam without hiding the navigation bar, it will get hung on the initial splash screen. After I hid the navigation bar, NBA Jam would check for updates and then proceed to the game without any problem.
Hope this helps anyone having difficulty with the nav bar!

this looks great with xposed and gravity box so that my navbar is transparent and can be hidden on command!
thank you!

This is the Kitkat feature I missed the most. My main motivation to buy a HAM2 was to read novels in it, instead of carrying a smaller phone and a tablet. For that purpose, the screen is stunning, but that dammed gray navbar was always in the way. Not anymore!
Thank you so much for this tip. You made my day!
Wow, nice find!
Now I have a bit more room on this already huge display. Thanks! :good:

This option should be there regardless of what launcher u are using.. It's a standard feature in the settings.. No? I have a China version on 4.4.2.. No sure if there's a difference though..

A bit laggy compared to using one of the root options.

Thank you,.!.!
Only reason I wanted to rood was immersive mode, this is close enough.
I love this phone even more now - coming from a 32gb One plus one.
Damn! You had a oneplus one? I got an invite but I'm gonna have to pass on that

WOW!!! Thanks so much for sharing this great find. It works GREAT!!!!!
Thanks given. This was the only reason I was rooted. Along with greenify. Now with the ability to hide the navbar and the ability to disable background apps included in the stock ROM, I really don't have any need for root. I still might use links2sd to install more apps if I hit that 6gb limit. This phone is solid!
Making the navigation bar hidden is called "immersive mode". There are apps on the Play Store that supposedly let you toggle immersive mode. Please post your results if you try one.
I'm guessing those apps will let you switch to immersive mode independent of standard or simple mode.

Htuawei Mate 10 Pro - Full Scereen doesn't work

Hello, I have a problem with my BLA-L29 (BLA-L29 8.0.0127 (C432). After startig an app I press the button with the blue text about displaing in full screen mode, then another screen appears wit information about restarting the app anf when I press "ok" nothing happens. The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen is still visible and I can't turn it off. Please help.
Hi ya. You need to set your navigation bar to hide. It will give you an arrow on the left you can press to hide the navigation bar, it will be in full screen but it doesn't hide the navigation bar unless you tell it too. It's under setting, smart assistance, system navigation.

Thank You I've thought that in the full screen mode the navigation bar shoul dissapeat "by itself" without pressing any keys
I'd prefer it, if the bar disappeared of its own accord until you needed and you could pull it up. But you need to use the settings I've shown and the use the triangle shape at the edge. You never know it may change in the future. :good:

How to hide Status/Navigation bar but leave Navigation DOT active ?

I can hide both the navigation and status bar via adb but the DOT also disappears and I have to either pull up from the bottom or drag down from the top to make it reappear, is there a way of keeping the DOT on show ?
I just want to keep the status bar hidden so as not to cause screen burn on my mate 10 pro.
I'm using the Mate 10 Pro & I have the same query, can anyone help?

Here is the app, that is much better than the stock navigation dot: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bs.smarttouch.gp
So switch the stock dot off and enjoy customization of this J Touch dot

Hide navigation bar?

I just rooted my S7+ and everything works fine.
Now I activated the "old" navigation bar, because I don't like the gestures on such a big screen.
My problem is that there is no hide-button and only "fullscreen-apps" hide the navigation bar automaticly.
I want to decide when to hide the bar. On my Huawei Mediapad I have an extra hide-button to do that.
Has someone a solution for me?
I already tried Gravitybox (R) and some PlayStore-Apps, no success.
There is a Good Lock module. Check this video. It might be helpful.
Wow this is perfect!
Thank you very much!
