[Q] Force stock camera app to hide Soft Keys - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I decided to go with the soft keys nav bar instead of the capacitive buttons. The only app I've seen so far that doesn't automatically hide the nav bar is the Camera app. Is there a way to make the camera app hide the nav bar similar to going into fullscreen mode like Youtube? Youtube actually hides the navbar on the rooted GS5 whereas the camera does not.
Thanks

Yes. There are a few ways you can do that. The app at http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/ will allow you to hide the status bar by selecting it from the notifications, and you can show it again by tapping at the bottom of the screen.
The SGT7 Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788518) also gives an option for toggling the status bar if you hold the power button down. I stopped using HideBar after I installed this rom, because I get re-activating the status bar by accident when I had to press the bottom of the screen in a game, and the option for showing the bar when pressing the top and bottom wasn't very responsive.
The Roo case does a pretty good job of covering the Nav bar.
Thinking of trimming 1/8" off just so the Nav bar is usable.

[REQ] Custom Screen Gestures

Custom Gestures like these jailbreak tweak on iPhone that I can do whatever I want. For example I can go to home screen by swiping using 2 fingers from the right to left but also if possible it also have an option to hide the navbar or swiping from the bottom to up to show navbar and single tap on the screen to hide it again. I think it would be useful for someone who wants to hide navbar and play games and use applications in fullscreen mode.
examples:
*double/tripple tapping in status bar to toggle on/off the torch
*swiping gestures to open an app immediately anywhere on your screen
*gestures on the status bar to open power buttons(for people who doesn't want to press the button from behind)
I don't know if there was/were an application/mod/rom that have this tweak, but if it is available now, can someone link me to that tweak thread?
Thanks

[SOFT MOD] GMD softkeys

Hello pals, wanted to share this
Its great for recovering some precious screen space. It works wonders for me

How is it horrible when playing games?
Smart Statusbar is one solution. When in a full screen app / game, drag down from top of the screen as if checking a notification. You really only need to do this very slightly, just enough to make the status bar appear, and you will notice the GMD Auto Soft Keys indicator will reappear at the bottom also.
another option is button savior, but i prefer GMD,
GMD can hide the statusbar and the nav bar, without any build prop editing.
gaming is ok for me, just remember where your hotspot is and swipe there, y leave the hotspot in dead center so i can put it small and wouldn't interfere with games.
I also like GMD. It seems to be almost the same as ultimate dynamic nav bar xposed module but for me GMD is better because you can turn off the notification that stops a pull down on status bar going direct to my quick setting.
Here is another mod to free up some screen space.
Hidden but expandable Status Bar
If anyone makes this for Moto G, be sure to post it in 'Themes and Apps.'

I use GMD on other devices and only have praise for it
I purchased GMD last night and it was definitely worth it! My phone looks great now! I also have most apps set to fullscreen mode with Appsetting in Xposed so that hides the status bar. A quick swipe down from the top of the screen will reveal a semi-transparent status bar for a few seconds.
Some images for comparison (1st: Normal, 2nd: Swipe up from bottom, 3rd: Swipe down from top.):
GMD plus Pie Controls for me

STOCK NON-ROOTED: Hiding BOTH navigation bar AND status bar via dedicated soft button

Is there a way to assign Full Immersive Mode to the dedicated soft button on Stock Non-Rooted S8? I'm wondering why Samsung didn't introduce this functionality to the new soft button. Honesty, I personally find much more useful if it hides both bars, not just NavBar.

Solved navbar not responding

So, my navbar on my MXPE stop responding, I restored many backups, only thing that would slightly work is have display at the largest.
Then I came up with an idea I will us navigation gestures app granted root, went through the setup, disabled navbar and enabled the nav gestures app, navigation works with the app, so I disabled the navbar gest app and renabled my navbar, the navigation soft buttons now work. responsive now.
I know its years late but
Where do I get navigation gestures app
