What is Hide-Navbar

Hide-Navbar (also called NavTweaks / Fullscreen/Immersive gestures) is an open‑source Magisk module that lets you hide, tweak, or change the behavior and appearance of Android navigation bars on Android 10–15. It builds overlays and provides an interactive installer that asks you to pick options using the volume keys during installation.

Key features

Hide or auto‑hide the navigation bar (immersive/fullscreen modes).
Customize gesture behavior and sensitivity.
Coloring fixes and workarounds for some Android versions (note: coloring may not work reliably on Android 11+).
Installer UI that runs during flashing and accepts choices via volume buttons.

Requirements

Android 10 through Android 15.
Magisk 20+ or KernelSU (some KernelSU setups require adding SystemUI to root list).
Root access and a custom recovery or module manager to flash Magisk modules.

Why use Hide-Navbar

More screen space for apps and reading.
Cleaner look when you prefer gesture navigation without the pill or buttons.
Flexible options for different ROMs and device vendors; active development and translations.

Download

Official releases and ZIPs are available on the project’s GitHub Releases page (latest: v30.0). Download the module ZIP from Releases before flashing.

How to install

Download the latest Hide-Navbar ZIP from GitHub Releases.
Flash the ZIP via Magisk Manager (Install from storage) or your module manager.
During install, use the volume keys to select options shown by the installer.
Reboot the device.
If using KernelSU, add SystemUI to the root list and ensure unmount modules is disabled for it.

How to use

After reboot, the module applies overlays. If you need to change options, re‑flash or follow module instructions in the repo (some versions include a web UI or installer scripts). Check the README for per‑release notes.

Community notes and alternatives

Users report success across many devices; XDA and other forums recommend the module for rooted users wanting to hide the pill on Android 15 and earlier. Some device/ROM combos may need test builds or fixes from the repo issues.
Non‑root alternatives exist (ADB immersive commands) but they behave differently and may not be persistent across reboots.
