Please be kind and use easy words. I'm a noob!
I would like to ask if it is possible for the S8 to have a full screen all the time? Without the nav bars. I know they disappear with You Tube and some other apps, but can it be done as a standard setting.
I don't mind playing with settings and trying things, as long as I can use simple terms.
Thanks in advance.

Apparently there is a way.
Maybe easier with this app (I did not try)

This app will do the job too selecting "Fullscreen for current app". Then you can use Bixby button to enable / disable full screen.

This full screen is not the same as the ADB version. That fully resizes the apps. The app version just removes the status bar and nav and leaves a blank black area in most apps.
Yes, the ADB version is the truest form of full screen. Really liking it. My one gripe with on-screen buttons was that they made the actual usable screen space smaller. This way we get to maximize the entire display. Love being able to tweak our phones to our personal likes. Something much easier to do with Android, even non-rooted android, than IOS.
This is awesome but it should have been already included as a feature.

It is with some apps, you have to press the open apps button on the screen and if you can view that app in full screen you press on the green circle in the upper right hand side of the screen.

Today I stumbled upon a cool app called GMD Gesture Control, it basically allows you to define global gestures that can be used anywhere and that can do any kind of action, kinda like the "pinch" gesture found in the ipad that closes the current app. The gestures can be defined with custom directions, actions or number of fingers. So you can for example swipe with two fingers down from the top edge of the screen for the device to go to sleep if you have an unreliable sleep button.
Here's the steps needed to be taken to use this app on lg optimus one:
1- Get the app, you can use the lite version for now which disables itself when the mobile is locked and needs to be re enabled, but it gives you a good idea of how the app works:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dvb2Rtb29kZHJvaWQuZ2VzdHVyZWNvbnRyb2xkZW1vIl0.
2- Launch the app for the first time, it will show an error that the device is not recognized, here you have to override the default settings to support our mobile, you can do this by tapping the "advanced" tab at the far right, then you will find 2 options at the end of the list, enable both by tapping the "on" button. Then from the "Override multitouch device detection" list choose "touch_mcs6000", then choose from the "override touch events parser detection" list the option "HC_DEFAULT".
3- Restart the service from the main "General" tab, please note that I couldn't get our mobile to support more than 2 fingers gestures, keep that in mind when defining custom gestures or choose "single touch gestures" option in the default gestures tab.
Hope that you all find this useful, this app is extremely fun to use to switch between apps quickly, I use a swipe from the left-right bottom corner to switch between previous/next app. You can really create any kind of creative gesture as you like.
This app is incompatible with your MobiFone LGE LG-P500.
it needs version 3.1 and up
upgrade to ics and install

Really awesome app!:good:
Just became an owner of the new Nexus 7. The soft navigation keys that are part of the OS take so much screen real estate.
Is there a way to hide/unhide them?
Is there a specific rom or launcher that has that option?
Thanks.
Team eos has this option. You could permanently disable them and use LMNT. Which are like the browser quick nav buttons.

I assume the blue part of your image is what you refering to as lmnt? Can it be recalled on demand and hidden when not needed?
I also see the soft keys on the bottom of your image. They can be disbled in this rom, right? А

Yes you swipe from the left or right to draw them out. And yes team eos had the ability in the power menu selecting "system bars mode" will disable/enable them.

Has anyone developed a way to customize the bottom System Bar? Add / remove icons?

Sort of ... but its better to have it built into the ROM then using an app.
Um yeah? Its called every ROM that uses aokp or Cm10 framework LOL.
Are you for real? Its hardly noticeable, it uses very minimal real estate and hides itself when it needs it (the real estate) the most.

I personally use GMD GestureControl. It allows you to set various multitouch/singletouch gestures. I have it set up so that 4 finger swipe up hides the status bar and the softkeys. In addition, 4/5 finger pinch closes current app (emulates home button), 4/5 fingers left or right scroll through recent apps (these gestures are stolen from iPad)
I had this app installed that provided the ability to autohide the softkeys, but decided to uninstall it. After rebooting the phone it still has the softkeys autohiding, and I am not sure where to look to disable this function.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
I emailed the programmer but haven't heard back as of yet, and wonder if anyone else has an idea where to look to restore softkeys to default.

Did you restore the soft keys before uninstalling the app? That would be my first step. If that does not work, you'll have to reflash your rom.

Looking at the screenshots in the Play Store, it gives me the impression that you can toggle them on or off.

Those screens in the App Store are no where to be found, not even in the paid version.
So I reflashed:
system.img
boot.img
vendor.img
But the softkeys are still autohiding. Looks like I need a complete wipe to get rid of it. I find it disheartening that the screenshots shown on the Appstore that show a way to disable the app are not actually part of the installed app.

Unfortunately, that's on the developer to maintain and they appear to be unhelpful. Everything should go back to normal after a factory reset. I suggest using a custom rom to auto hide those keys, if you are so inclined.

All's well that ends well!
As title says, do anyone of you know if there is any app or setting to set a software shortcut to put the screen off the same way the power button does?
I don't really like pressing the button all the time, for now i've set the display timer to 15 seconds to shut down itself but coming from the modding world (lineage etc) roms, I got used to have a shortcut like longpressing back button to have screen off instead of using the power button.
I tried nova launcher and some other apps, their shortcuts are working BUT they require the admin unlock (PIN or SIGN only), no fingerprint or eyeballing aviable.
Any clue to help this fella out?

If you change nova lock method from administrator to timeout (screen off, and times out to lock after 5 seconds for unrooted users) or even better if rooted, then you can use double tap to lock with biometrics.
Scroll to bottom of nova settings/advanced/screen lock method option
Sent from my phone
I use doubleHome, I double tap home buttom a black screen appears for 3 seconds, after the phone is locked with biometric unlock.
Free and works like a charm, from the same athor of bxactions!
Unfortunately using doubleHome you have to leave the current app.
Better: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dynalogix.screenoff.ultra.quick.timeout
There is a shortcut, you can use everywhere, e.g. as gesture.
Im happy to see I'm not the only one who needed this!
Every manufacturer should think about this and include it in the stock Rom tho
Thank anyone for all the ideas!!!
You can do this with any gestures or automation app that runs shell commands like LMT or Tasker, etc.

just follow this tutorial
https://www.xda-developers.com/customise-the-navigation-bar-android-oreo/
I actually use a application called simple control so that to keep my navigation button on the screen near my thumb and I can configure the buttons to do some kind of functions like taking screenshots for example.
If you like to use the on screen navigation buttons on another part of the screen then you can use this application and configure it to take the screenshot as per your wish
(This is only a kind of suggestion)
