The combination of MIUI navigation gestures and Hide System Bar (Full Screen) allows you to use full-screen apps and navigate with the motions, e.g., for the RTIPanel app.  

MIUI navigation gestures app allows you to control your phone more easily just by swiping using fluid navigation gestures. It provides such gesture support as:

  • a quick swipe from the left edge;

  • a swipe and hold from the left edge;

  • a quick swipe from the right edge;

  • a swipe and hold from the right edge;

  • quick swipe from the bottom edge;

  • swipe and hold from the bottom edge;

These gestures stand for the following actions: 

  • back;

  • home;

  • recent apps;

  • switching app;

  • showing notification;

  • quick setting opening;

  • power menu opening;

  • screen splitting (Android N +).

To this app correct functioning full screen is required. So, the Hide System Bar (Full Screen) app is the other component to customize your screen. It helps with: 

  • full-screen enabling;

  • the system bar displaying by sliding into the screen from the bottom or top; 

  • hiding notification bar or not;

  • hiding the system from the notification area;

  • creation of a widget on the desktop to hide/show system bar;

  • hiding system bar during device booting.
