Hide nav bar with an app because I'm lazy?

[bobbigirl83]

I know you can hide the status and navigation bars using ADB. Frankly, I don't feel like pulling out my PC and installing and hooking up my phone to push the command.

I am really only looking to hide the navigation bar as I have the status bar hidden with Nova.

Is there an app for this?

Sorry I'm lazy

This might help. (https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/68al9e/how_to_avoid_screen_burn_in_effect_and_enable_a/)

It uses the app Tiles. Unfortunately, you would still have to use adb once, but after that it would just be a toggle through the app.

GMD Immersive in the app store hides both.

I stopped being lazy and just used ADB. Works like a charm although I did have to switch browsers because it created an issue when trying to switch between tabs on Sammy's browser. Using Chrome now with no issues.

I am going to take a look at that app ... everything else seemed to either need root or have an ADB command pushed. Thank you!

Thank you

Am I missing something on the GMD immersive?

There's a red line on bottom of screen. If there's going to be a red line there, might as well be the navigation bar IMO.

In pro you can change that theme to invisible.

Even if you make it invisible there will still be black at the bottom? Am I missing something? What is the point if it doesn't use that space now for something else?

I think some apps will always have the black bar on the bottom. Others like Google Maps can show on the entire screen.

Had a problem with the browser tabs also. But the Samsung Browser Beta seems to fix the problem, if you don't mind using the beta browser.

I did the ADB method yesterday, but switched back because it was to hard to bring the bar back up without clicking on the screen.

I did it today. So far so good. I don't click the screen when I bring it up I just swipe up.
