[Guide]Remove Navigation Bar using Adb Commands[No Root] - Nexus 6P General

Hi Guys,
A lot of us are getting new devices that are not yet supported by developers or will never be supported and rooting new devices now a days is getting harder, that's why methods requiring no root are essential.
I was pointed to by @EMJI79 to the original thread of this method by @luisshnyder. Great thanks to both of them. :good:
Requirements:
* ADB and Fastboot installed on PC or Mac.
Instructions:
Type without quotations in CMD or Windows PoweShell(use ".\"before command in PowerShell):
"adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-202"
Notes:
1. Make sure to use an alternative navigation app before doing this.
2. To change the height change the values between (0 to -210)see what suits your screen best(for me it was -202).
3. The effect sticks after reboot.
4. To return to normal type without quotations: "adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0"
5. This works on all Android versions Oreo and before, it also works on many devices.
6. There are minor bugs stated by the original thread so check them out if you have any, i haven't encountered any yet except you wouldn't be able to see the camera & voice shortcuts in the lock screen.
Finally it's best to combine this with hiding the status bar too, so type afterwards without quotations:
"adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*"
-If you want to customize on per app basis follow my other guide.
Good Luck!

I can confirm that using the old method of disabling the navigation bar(qemu.hw.mainkeys=1) from the build.prop is working fine with the April security update, also Google now on tap works fine without getting the force close error message.
This guide is rendered useless for users that can access the build.prop. ?

Thank you so much for sharing this, I've been searching for a way to completely hide the navbar without Root. Now Gesture Control can actually be used as intended. ?

My gesture non root setup I wish Google will implement.

is there any command that enables the navbar on navbar disabled devices?

Dear @Rashad83 and other Contributors!
Thank your for this little summary thread, I hope I am not necrobumping right now. I just wanted you to know, that this method is still working flawlessly. My settings for the Umidigi S5 Pro (Android 10): ,,wm overscan 0,0,0,-48"

have anyone tried this on umidigi bison?
