Installation
The app has a built-in option to hide the software navigation keys (if necessary) but it requires either root access or a pc to grant the app a permission.
PC/Mac instructions:
1 – Enable Developer Mode in the Android settings.
2 – Enable USB Debugging
3 – Install Adb (links bellow)
4 – Run the following adb command to grant the permission
Windows:
adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
macOS:
./adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
You can restore the navigation keys using the app or by run this adb command:
Windows:
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
macOS:
./adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0

Fluid Navigation Gestures user reviews :
Recommended for huge screensize, save time and effort in navigating. A little tricky to setup for first timer like me. Recent update was great, always wanted it to pause during specific apps as Samsung Game tools is built into nav bar. Its still buggy(both gesture and navigation bars were working instead of disabled), but its a great approach.
Replaced MIUI gestures with this app. It would be cool if side edges could also be configured for top and bottom section, like bottom edge which have 4 sections. Latest version added glitch on MIUI on device unlock. Some black area at bottom is flickering. It seems that it’s only visible on launcher (action launcher), no flickering if app was opened.
Great addition for Pixel 3XL. After trying to get uses to Google’s gestures i found them not anywhere near easy enough. After purchasing this I’m in love with my Pixel even more now. Edit: Even better now default haptic feedback has been adddd.
Works very well! The issue I reported with navigation bar icons has been resolved, thanks!
I love it, it works fantastically well! I like the customizability and the option to hide the stock navbar. However, if there is one small problem, it’s that whenever I use the keyboard, the current app’s interface doesn’t move farther up enough. So if I’m in, for an example, a texting app, and the textbox is at the bottom, the keyboard covers it so I can’t see what I’m typing. This wasn’t hepoening before this app hid the navbar. It’s not too much of a problem though because I’m toggling this app using the touch sensor, so if something is blocked I can temporarily access it.
