I want to use gestures to do all my navigation and have a more immersive experience. But I haven't quite found the solution to permanently remove the nav bar. I want it removed so that it doesn't interfere with my gestures and it provides a more immersive experience. Is there a way? Thanks
I use the built-in feature to hide the nav bar. That is to double tap the dot on the left side of it.
For the home screen, I use an app called Granular Immersive Mode to hide it. I use Pixel launcher.
Then I use Edge gesture for gestures. I don't really recommend to hide the nav bar permanently since there may be some situation you really need it, like the gesture app is not functioning properly. Now in case I need it, I swipe up from the bottom of the screen to call it out.
The best way for me so far
I tried almost all app to remove and replace the navigation bar for my Samsung S9 but all of them facing serval crop screen and app UI issue. For example Samsung Internet new tabs alignment, Crop grey backgound when windows popping up (I will attache screenshot below.)
And now I think I found the best way so far to fix all these issue
- "Oneplus Gestures" is best one for me for the alternative app to replace the navigation bar because not like others, the pill of this app is always at the bottom (not shift) and it work on overlays app (ex: FB messenger)
- "Hide Nav Bar" is the app that I choose to remove the native nav bar but for now it has some issue which cropping some app and I have solution for that. You have to enable global immersive mode then exclude the apps that cropped. So far I found these apps need to exclude: Smart Capture, Edge Widget, Instagram, Gallery. By filter immersive mode for these app you could use "Immersive Mode Manager" app or just write this adb command
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.samsung.android.app.smartcapture,-com.samsung.android.app.widgetedge,-com.instagram.android,-com.sec.android.gallery3d
- Not finish yet, the fix other UI issue (Samsung Internet, Gallery) you need to use "Routines" app belong to Good Lock 2018 app to use Samsung Hide Nav Bar for Samsung Internet and Gallery app.
Then enjoy your edge to edge screen with gesture navigation. This work around fix all my issue when remove and replace navigation bar on my S9. If you find other issue feel free to discuss.

I'm working on theming and customizing my Atrix. I've been using Minimalistic Text and Tasker for a few things. I've got it setup to show me specific notification types. Is there a way I can set it up to show me the notification bar if I tap it? Or even set it up to show current signal strength?
Thanks
I think that it's not possible to do that with minimalistic text, but you can try Zoom, a flexible widget made by the same guy that made Tasker.

I'm currently using LauncherPro Plus with the notification bar hidden. I wanted to be able to tap something on my home screen to bring it up, but I may try Elixir and see how it goes.
i know it's not the same launcher, but on Go Launcher EX you can set it to swipe-gestures on any of the dock buttons (ex. the apps button) hides/shows the notification bar

In settings you can set it so the home button hides/shows the notification bar when on the homescreen.

In launcher pro plus, if you long press on the app drawer button, and select swipe gesture action, then select Show/Hide status bar, it should do what your looking to do. Works awesome, doesn't get in the way of anything, and all you have to do is swipe up on the App drawer launcher icon. You can also set your messaging/phone icon to show missed sms/calls. Took me a while to find that feature, hope it helps.

I forgot about swipe gestures. Thanks!
So with the drawer locked (little button) it's not see through but with it unlocked but on screen you can see through. Why can't I see through on locked mode like on Google phone.

EDIT: SORRY, re-reading for like the sixth time I see I did misunderstand your question. You are only asking about ONE on screen button that is opaque vs translucent -- and the conditions WHY -- not about the entire navigation bar (which LG calls Home Touch buttons) being translucent or even visible. Anyway, hope my answer below this helps someone else!
To answer YOUR question... maybe LG feels that one button being opaque is an easy visual indicator it is locked. Then, unlocked it's translucent. Whereas Google doesn't have such styling concerns.

If I'm understanding the question correctly, and I admit I may not...
It had to do with whether you are in full screen mode or not. Sometimes called immersive mode. When NOT in that mode, you will always have the navigation buttons at the bottom. LG calls them "Home Touch buttons".
When in that mode, navigation buttons are translucent or even missing (invisible). When missing you can swipe up from the bottom to make them appear. They will then appear and be translucent. You might want immersive mode for videos or such.
There's a Settings menu to decide which apps you always want to be in immersive mode. Or you can manually do it by clicking on that very left small arrow button on the by navigation bar (unless you've rearranged the icons). I think you referred to it as "locking the drawer" which confused me.
I really only want video to be immersive. With this V30 tall screen, I don't mind visible navigation buttons at the bottom.
I found this issue because my corporte email app, called Nine, didn't have arrows at the bottom for me to go back easily. I could swipe up and force the navigation bar to appear, but other apps were not that way. Sort of irritating. So,I found the Settings menu with all my apps listed, where Nine had this "feature" enabled. I disabled it for that app.
This may not be exactly what you're asking about, and if so then I apologize.

Haven't come across a good Hints/Tips/Tricks thread for this phone, so figured I'd start something up. Feel free to add anything!
Tired of white notifications when using Dark Mode?
Install "Power Shade" from the Playstore to open up customization options for your notification window, and better yet, set the background colour of notification windows to anything you like!
It also ads the option for a little bar that lets you "swipe down for notifications" rather than using LG's option for a button in the tray.
Link ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.treydev.pns&hl=en_US
Unfortunately Power Shade removes the option in the notification to change your audio source (BT, phone speakers, etc.)
I simple fix is an app called "Smart Audio Switch" that allows a permanent notification that brings back functionality.

Want to use "Wide Mode" and use both screens for any app?
Most of you already know about this, but the app called "G8X Wide Mode" allows you to use any app across both screens.

Want to use the LG Game Pad for games that only play in portrait?
One of the only games I play on my phone is called "Vista Golf" which is just a little mini putt game, but with gorgeous yet simple graphics, and an endless number of randomly generated courses.
I was excited to play the game with the game pad, however the game pad really only works in landscape, and Vista Golf plays in portrait.
I use an app called "Control Screen Orientation" which you can use to force apps into landscape.
Link ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ahapps.controlthescreenorientation&hl=en_US
This enabled me to use the LG Game Pad with the game, and setup a custom controller and works great.
Hate the old "Lollipop" Rolodex style task switcher?
For the life of me I have no idea why LG implemented the old rolodex style task switcher, seems so out dated.
Fortunately there is a simple fix.
If you go to Settings>Display>Home Touch Buttons and change from "Buttons Only" to "Gesture and Buttons", it completely changes the style of the task switcher.
You still get a back and a home button, and a simple swipe up from anywhere on the nav button pane will bring up a proper task switching menu.

Yeah, still looking lol. Let me know if you find anything
It seems to be working now but I'm still not able to get full screen reading in Chrome and other apps due to lack of a proper immersive mode. This app seems to work but a bit kludgy:
Fullscreen Immersive - No Ads, No Root - Apps on Google Play
Fullscreen immersive mode in applications or games

I had a look into this today, and it appears that the area across where the hole punch for the camera lies, which also acts as the status bar, can only be used if the app itself is modified for this. I *think* i saw one app that extended into this area.
Using the following coode, one can set immersice mode for specific apps. I tested on A11 with no nav, and all it did was change the colour of the status bar. But it was still there. I also tried an app that has the option to hide the status bar, and I think it hid the clock etc, but the area reserved for the status bar was still unused.
The commands I played with were:
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=diamondjohndroid.utility.temefi;
settings get global policy_control;
#start the app, but only status bar colour changes
# undo the change
settings delete global policy_control;
Naked browser uses status bar without immersive installed

Does anyone know how to hide the navigation bar using gestures?
It is a wasted space and in some applications the background colors do not match (it is not transparent).

yes, this is problem since A11. not zenfone problem.
This has been the response from the official support of Asus:
"Good afternoon,
As a follow-up to our telephone contact after having escalated the case, they confirm that the indicated option "Hide navigation bar" is not available in the current version of Android.
Thank you for trusting ASUS,
We appreciate your collaboration

On March 31, Asus released an update 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.
I am very happy.
