I would like to say "Good-bye" to stupid system bar,get real full screen for apps.
But we use backward key often.
Is there any app can use gestures to control backward?or exit apps just like IOS.
You can use Button Savior to duplicate some of the system bar buttons on a small dock.
I made an invisible back button, works nicely aside for occasionally covering some element of an interface. If that's a problem you can also set it to pop up with a swipe from the side of the screen.
I use SwipePad a lot too, a free app switcher, can also be set up to launch ADW with the effect of a home button.
What I like most is that after launching an app with it the Back button will bring you to whatever app you were using before instead that to the home screen.
What I'm missing now is some widget to keep track of notifications when the status bar is hidden, any suggestions?

Thanks,Button Savior works fine for me.

I know I'm a bit late on this, but I'd like to throw GMD gesture control in as a suggestion. I've been using it for hiding and showing the statusbar and for the back button. It works perfectly and lets you define your own gestures as well.
+1 for GMD its absolutely awesome

I use gesturecontrol pro to hide status bar, switch apps, and run my own custom apps/actions. I would recommend it. Worth the price and supports an xda member!
Definitely GMD, bought it a while ago, it's one of the apps that changed the way you use the 7.7 fundamentally...

GMD Status Bar fix for ICS
Old message: You have to install BusyBox from market (look for some BusyBox installer) if StatusBar hiding is not working after upgrade to ICS. I'm working on solution that would not require BusyBox.
Update: after 2.5.5 no need to install busybox.

I find that the wallpaper disappears still with the upgrade though after I reload home a few times it will randomly return

the wallpaper disappering is a known bug and the developer can't seem to get around it - when GMD ends the statusbar app it kills the wallpaper app with it. Try live wallpapers.
Other that this, GMD is absolutely awesome.
Hello friends.
GMD. I have been using GMD since day one. Love it but now I have an issue.
Hide bar works. A bit slow. I'm using live wallpapers.
Anyways...
The back button doesn't work at all.
The message "back" shows.
Then "GMD Gesture Control has been granted Superuser permissions"
Then....nothing.
Nothing....
Anyone?
Home works too.
I have ICS. I have root. Odin: Cwm+root.zip. Not mobile odin. Couldn't get it to work at that time.

Are you using SuperSU as root binary? If its Superuser, please install SuperSU from market, start it, update binary. Start GMD grant permission. Superuser on ICS is hit or miss experience. While most common things work, there are some not so commonly used functions that don't work.

I wanted the greatest amount of usable screen "real estate" on my Nexus 7 so I looked for ways to hide the black Navigation Bar that spans the bottom of the display. My launcher of choice, GO Launcher EX, has an option to hide it but that didn't work. There are apps that supposedly hide it but either they only hide it until you return to your home screen or they hide it but leave thick unusable black gaps at the bottom and the top of the display. I use Button Savior for my navigation so I just wanted the Navigation Bar GONE.
I read that, on other devices, adding the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to the build.prop file under /system would do it but I added the line and it did nothing. Then -- since I was just beginning to customize a newly rooted Nexus 7 (32GB, in case that matters) I scrubbed EVERYTHING and took it back to stock, then rooted it with WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit (Version 1.5.5). Next I entered my sign-in data and installed Root Explorer from Google Play (so I could edit system files). Then -- before I did anything else to the tablet, I again added "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to the end of build.prop in /system. It worked! The Navigation Bar disappeared and has not reappeared no matter what I've done (reboot, add apps, customize, etc). Better yet, my wallpaper image instantly resized to fill the screen space I'd recaptured. My rows of icons adjust to fill and use the space and no black bars are left anywhere on screen.
It seems unlikely that I'm the first to discover that this works with the Nexus 7 since I'm not a very sophisticated user but in case this adds value to the XDA forum, which I use and very much appreciate, here it is.
Good find. First I heard of this.

So how do you navigate without the on-screen buttons?

Same question.
I use Button Savior. There are other "soft key" solutions as well. I have Button Savior set to never "auto hide" so it's always available (it can always be manually popped in and out). I've got it placed just above the keyboard so it's never in my way when typing. I have it set to semi-transparent so I can always see it but also always see through it. The beauty of soft key solutions is that they take up NO screen real estate and, at least in the case of Button Savior, you can place them exactly where you want them so that you never have to move your hand to navigate your screen. Button Savior needs to be on a rooted device to work properly but you have to be rooted to do this procedure anyway.

Nexus 7 screen with no Nav Bar with Button Savior
I'm sure there's better ways to illustrate this but here's a blank home page with a bland wallpaper to illustrate what the space on my screen looks like. No Navigation Bar. No Dock either (I use a few icons and a few folders of icons). I like the Status Bar across the top although I could eliminate that too. That's Button Savior on the left-hand side (I'm left-handed). Soft key solutions were popularized in the CM7/Nook Color days since the Nook only had one hard button, a home key.
+1 on GMD Gesture Control. Not cheap ($5), but worth every penny.
This is a pretty interesting idea. I might do this with my N7 or Gnexus also
Let us know if it causes any problems with installing Gameloft, EA, or any other games
might give gmd gesture a try. running pa in tablet ui. cant imagine how nicely it will run in full screen
Gmd is a great proggy. I use it to hide the navigation buttons amongst a ton of other things.

GMD Gesture looks awkward (I watched some YouTube videos of it in use) but I'm sure it'd become second nature in time. Can you hide the Navigation Bar but still show the Status Bar?
Yep, just tried this neat little mod. Hides the nav bar but not the status bar. Running stock rom/kernel rooted/unlocked. Edited the build.prop rebooted, worked. Re-edited, rebooted went back to normal.
Excellent find!

I'd use lmt launcher if you're interested in hiding the navigation bar. It worked well when I was hiding the navigation bar on my gnex.

It works fine but the usual stuff about keyboard and what not. I could see it being quite good in pro mode if you select apps that don't really require a keyboard only. I don't think it's worth using for me as I use my phone to write things, so having to many all make the keyboard appear is not worth the effort. Works fine though

I installed on one of my frends xperia z3...it freezes after some time and then no buttons are available.sometimes buttons are available but didnt work.ultimately I have to reboot the device..any issues with anyone??
I use "all in one gestures" to hide the nav bar. I've set it up like this: swipe up from the bottom right or left corner enables/disables immersive mode. That is the most efficient way to quickly hide the nav bar or bring it back when you need the keyboard that I've found. Does not require root!
It's also possible to use other gestures of course. Does not replace GMD gesture control (which requires root), but it's something!

Yes. You select gesture and set it to activate Fullscreen. When you perform the gesture you enter immersive mode. It's nice because you can quickly disable it when you need the keyboard.
I was wondering if any one knew how to hide the nav bar when the keyboard was open. Where it really bothers me the most is when I'm texting.

You can use Systemui tuner app, from playstore, there is an option "inmersive mode", you choose navigation bar, and the nav bar will ALWAYS hide, even in home screen, but for this app to work, you need to grant permissions with ADB, the app itself guides you for doing it, look at this:

That doesn't work. It still shows when the keyboard is open
Well, I use AI type keyboard, the nav bar appears below the keyboard, and the back arrow in nav bar changes to a down arrow to hide the keyboard, I find this as a good implementation, the nav bar does not overlay the keyboard, or you just donot want to see it?

If you on Pie and using navbar you cannot hide it anymore.
Samsung has taken that option away.
You have to basically use the swipe gestures.
However if you use, certain apps like
eg
Shortcutter Quick Settings (Play Store)
I just tested it now, yes then you can hide navbar.
or maybe some Bixby remapper can do it.?
I however use the swipe actions .
Takes a bit, to get use to it,
but i now prefer swipe to navbar, as it seems pretty obvious
Samsung is "forcing" you to opt for
swipe.?
I've got a feeling that Samsung will drop navbar all together for swipe. (at some stage. or later ?)
Good luck.

I discovered that too recently. But the swipe gesture navigation is actually not that bad.
Hello, since the android 10 update (ww) the navigation gestures have changed. I seem to have lost the original rog style swipe up from home etc, without any bars etc showing onscreen. Is it the same for everyone?

I am using an app called Hide Navigation Bar to hide the white bar, which works great. I tried to use xda's Navigation Gestures for the same purpose but it does not work well in fullscreen landscape game, while Hide Navigation Bar does. That being said, I hope ASUS can implement an official hiding gesture hint feature just like what Samsung does.
I'm using the "adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural" command to re-enable gestures in Nova Launcher, but it's not a perfect solution and resets to standard navigation when the phone reboots.
