How to enable gesture navigation and hide navigation bar on any Android smartphone
7,196A lot of phones like OnePlus, Vivo and Oppo come with navigation gesture and that has truly changed the way people navigate on their phones. It’s a lot faster when you get used to it. These phones have the option of enabling navigation gesture instead of navigation bar within the phone’s settings.
However, some Android phones even the latest ones, don’t have the option of Navigation gestures. In fact, they also don’t have the option of hiding the navigation bar.
Steps to do this (this is completely safe and genuine)
Install Fluid navigation gesture from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
Enable USB debugging on your phone
Go to settings
Go to software information or build number (look for it)
Tap on build number 7 times to unlock Developer Options
Go to settings and then Developer Options
Scroll down to Enable USB debugging
Download ADB drivers:https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
Download Platform Tools for Android: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools#download
3. Extract all the contents of the zip file downloaded to a folder called ‘Android tools’
4. Run command prompt in windows - search ‘cmd’ after hitting windows key. Open the CMD prompt
5. Type c:\android tools\platform-tools and hit enter
6. Connect your phone to your laptop using a usb cable (type c or microUSB depending upon your phone’s USB port)
7. Now copy paste the following command in the command prompt and hit enter
adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
And that’s it!
Now open the Fluid NG app and you can successfully hide navigation bar too.
After this, you just have to customize the actions associated with bottom bar and side-bars.
