Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a juicy little piece of information I came across today. If you already knew about it great, for those who don't, listen up!
On Oreo, setting the navbar height to 0pt does not work. So instead, do this!
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-143
That's all you need. It can also be used to set the height of the navbar to your liking. -143 just happens to be the value at which no trace of the navbar can be seen, and apps will utilize the whole screen, similar to immersive.
Why would someone want this? Easy, gestures. I personally use OnePlus Gestures, but choose whatever you want!
Anyways, enjoy!
To reset back to original settings:
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
Do u have pics of how this looks?
So would changing -143 to 0 bring it back? Would like to try this on mine to see if it works with Android P DP2

The OnePlus Gestures app in the Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures
And the settings can be reverted, I've updated the OP to reflect how to do so.

Yes I have tried it, I do not like it personally, but I think it's using the same command, given it requires granting it system write permissions in order to hide the navbar

Hello!!.. I use this also to hide my navbar but with -170
Haven't seen the navbar since then
The only thing that you will miss are the bottom accesses on the lockscreen (camera, assistant), although they are still accessible by swiping from corners...
For gestures I use "Edge gestures".

Cool, but OnePlus gestures doesn't seem to work on Android P. It has no functionality.

Pretty useful feature when you have kids. It's disappeared from OOS on the OP5 and latest open betas for the 3/3T.

Is "screen pinning" still an option? I find that most useful to lock a user into a single app.

Remove the persistent bar and dock bar in the Nova launcher settings. Add the search bar widget and add your icons on the desktop.
Customize at your convenience.

I know that Essential launcher doesn't look too different form Pixel launcher, but I like the operation of Pixel 2 launcher. I do believe either the launcher on Pixel phones have smoother transition/animation effect or Google optimized the phone's OS differently. On Essential all this transition animation is too jumpy, windows open fast and as if all the effects are turned off in the Dev options. I have Pixel 2 in my hands and although the UI is similar to the Essential phone, still Pixel's UI feels much nicer, better and smoother - premium feel.
I sent my Essential back(QA issues), will soon re-buy it again, but in the meantime wanted to find out if anyone has tried installing Pixel 2 Launcher on Essential.
Using the actual Pixel launcher requires root. However, one of the people on xda has written a version based on AOSP that doesn't require root. I used it on a Nexus 6 for about a year and have been using the latest version on Essential with 7.1.1 for the past two months with no issues. It's bit nicer than the AOSP that comes on the Essential.

I am using the Pixel 2 launcher. It requires no root: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/papho...auncher-mod-8-1-0-4348501-modded-3-1-release/
Also would recommend the Pixel 2 wallpaper: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/prana...port-8-1-0-pp-6-0-arm64-android-apk-download/
Just try them out and see yourself

My bad! I think the integration with the weather on the Google “pill” is what requires root. Does it display the weather for you?

Download the "wallpaper" app from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.wallpaper
Some say the wallpaper app needs to be installed before the launcher in order for the link to work but I did it after and it worked fine for me after a reboot.

Good Lock 2019 is superb from Samsung no doubt about it but in case of System - Display - Navigation bar - Navigation buttons or Full screen gestures AND One Handed Operation which is available in Good Lock...what's the use of having both why cant we disable system navigation buttons or gestures if we ONLY have to use One Handed Operation which in my opinion is super awesome!!
