Best/Safest way to hide navbar?

This is my first android with soft buttons, and coming from the DNA's 5" screen I would like to hide the navbar to get more screen space during games. I have root, and I tried GMD auto hide but when I hid the bar the phone just kept crashing. I just downloaded ultimate dynamic navbar and it says the safe way is to get XPOSED and install a module. Where do I find XPOSED? I had a MotoXposed but it didn't have the hid navbar option (and I couldn't get any of the other options to stick anyways) So is anyone out there using an app to hide the navbar on their Moto x? Thanks!

I looked around in the Nova launcher settings and didn't see anything about the navbar, maybe i missed it?
Thanks for your help

MotoXposed (as well as the option you are talking about in UDN) require the Xposed Framework to be installed. You download Xposed Installer, install the Framework with that app, and then activate the desired modules within that app.
Go nova settings/look and feel/ un check show nav bar.
The option in nova is notification bar! I tried the usual methods. But get system ui errors. Build prop edit will get rid of it, but that's for good.

Yeah, I don't want to get rid of it, just hide it when I don't need it

To do this with Nova Launcher purchase version will be needed. Go to Nova Settings/ Gestures and Buttons/ then pick a gester like swipe down/ Toggle Notification bar. You would have to toggle the Notification bar before opening the app.
I hope this helps.
You can always just hide it using that build.prop edit then use pie launcher (lmt launcher) to be your nav bar

This app will help you hide the navbar, and replace it with Pie gestures when you swipe from the sides of the screen. there's lots of customization that comes with it as well. Have fun!

This app can hide the navbar indeed, but it hide the notification bar and disabled the recent apps interface as well..... Cannot separate these two things......

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 didnt get your point bro..keyboard???
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.

Nav bar question

I have noticed some apps the nav bar disappears amd I have a full screen viewing experience. Others do not. Is there any way to force other apps to run with a hidden nav bar without rooting?

Yes it does indeed hide the nav bar on the programs you want it to but it has many undesired side effects. Mainly, not being able to call up the keyboard when needed after clicking a text entry point. You have to swipe up to expose the Nav bar and then it will show. Also, some games won't even launch unless you first swipe up the nav bar to launch game. Also if you are using a custom launcher, and you use a dock with a folder editor program, the shortcuts will not appear until you swipe up the nav bar. Some programs like Pandora and Maps do not display correctly and will be distorted until you expose the Nav bar. I have had the Pro version for months and the developer has not offered any update to it at all, so buyer beware. Cheap enough not to be to upset but it's not a perfect solution.

per app nav bar

Is there anyway to hide the nav bar from specific app and enable immersive mode?.. Please help having issues with snapchat cant post anything

In a lot of custom ROMs you can. If I recall correctly, you can't in OOS.

hide nav bar

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.
Enjoy

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?

I just now spoke with Samsung about this. Apparently, they've heard about this issue and will address it in a future update.

It's a good practice to read the description, not just download stuff. So you don't have to ask unnecessary questions.

I did reboot, but didn't work. Turns out no longer supported for OREO.
