Anyway to hide the black home bar?

I was just curious if there is anyway to hide the black home/back bar at the bottom of the screen? Is there any kind of option to hide it until you tap at the bottom and make it appear? Thanks.

Not with the stock ROM. Some custom roms have this type of feature available though (usually it's a toggle in the Power menu).

You can easily hide it on a stock rom with a build.prop edit. Just add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to your build.prop and reboot. Then you have no more navigation bar. You'll need to use something like LMT launcher (here at xda) or Button Savior (in play store) to have the home, recent, back, etc functions (easiest to set up BEFORE rebooting after editing build.prop ).

You can do this, but it's not exactly what the op was looking for. He wants to be able to hide and show the bar at will.

You can use GMD Hidebar or GMD GestureControl to hide the navbar.

I tried this and it hid the top bar as well. I just want the bottom buttons gone, since I use Button Savior.

Hide status bar in any application

Hey guys, I want to hide my status bar in all applications. It should only be visible if I swift from top to the bottom of the screen. Right now I hided my status bar with nova launcher but this hides the status bar only when looking on your homescreen. If I open youtube, whatsapp or any other app the status bar is visible again and will not hide. Is there any possibility to hide the status bar completely?

It worked with keyboard but it is very laggy. Also I would prefer that the navigation bar is not hided. I uninstalled the module for this reasons. You can try it too maybe you like it.. wouldn't it be so laggy on my phone I would use it maybe

Cool✌

Yes you can do it
Just download fluid navigation from play store and through adb make it work. Search google for more

Yes, there are some apps in the playstore that can hide navigation bar. I tested this when I was trying the gesture navbar from xda. Changed back after a day as I am not used to it.

Its about hiding not changing soft button (nav bar)
Through adb you can hide the nav bar without unlocking bootloader or root privileges.

Install system ui tuner. It has that option
