I've searched how to disable immersive mode in KitKat, and found nothing but topics on how to enable immersive mode.
In some games, immersive mode is annoying, since you'll swipe an area of the game interface near the immersed status bar, and the status bar will appear while gaming.
Is there an app, mod, or setting that can disable immersive mode?
Thanks for any information.
I would also like to disable immersive mode but for different reason. Immersive mode hides the clock, battery, and notifications. It's really annoying to have to swipe inside the game area, altering the game state, to see the time or what app gave me a notification. I would rather lose the 20 pixels of screen real estate to keep the bar visible.
I want to disable this as well. That's the most irritating thing ever - UI elements that's supposed to give me control of the device, disappear or change their place.
Well, this question is still valid.
Likewise, infuriating! Constantly hides navigation buttons
I've been searching for that too! No results found here.
Agreed! Let us disable Immersive Mode!

I hope someone can write us an Xposed module or something to disable this retarded "feature".
Can't believe there are no responses to this...

I can understand need for IM in landscape mode on 16:9 AR device, but hey... This should be optional.
Did some googling and found a guide on how to add/remove certain apps from immersive mode on a nexus 7. Not sure what everyone here is running, but it involves having a rooted device and unknown sources enabled in the settings. Haven't tried it yet, but thought I'd post it here quick before I gave it a shot.

This article is a bit misleading. I thought it would help also, but it does not.
This method only works for forcing Immersive Mode, it does not prevent immersive mode on an application.

I've been busy all day so I haven't had the chance to try it, but towards the end of the article doesn't it give instructions on how to turn immersive mode off for specific applications? It says that turning it off for an app is as easy as turning it on for an app. Does this not work, or does the option not present itself? Strange...
The article is based on a much older version that the current 2.2 release of the module. I don't have the older version so I cant say that it used to work or not. But the latest version of the Xposed module works very differently.
It shows you all the apps, with Immersive unchecked, and you "enable" immersive mode by clicking the box. But clearning the checkbox has no affect on applications that you were not already forcing it on for.
Any news yet on if it's possible to disable immersive mode system wide?
Still looking...
I'm also still looking for a solution to this "feature."
I use a reader app that keeps hiding UI elements when it enters immersive mode... very annoying.

I switched to KitKat 2 days ago (4.4.4). However, I had to use a custom ROM (Omnirom) since Samsung does not provide any updates for my good old n7000 anymore.
So I don't know anything about other KitKat versions regarding this topic, but I found that Omnirom has an option built in (settings-security-lockscreen-disable immersive mode).
It can also be accessed by swiping down the status bar and using the corresponding quick settings button to toggle immersive mode.
That's all
Sadly, this option works in exactly opposite way: In Omnirom when its not enabled, it leaves default KK experience with immerisve mode only in Fullscreen apps that are built against newest SDK, or when enabled it forces Immersive Mode on all apps, including launcher, system-wide. http://poradnik.telewizor.eu/news.php
Any update on this? I haaaaaattttteeeee immersive mode.

Still looking for a way to disable immersive mode system wide. The note 4 and android 4.4 is a real downgrade for me overall. The worse task switcher, the worse immersive mode that no one asked for, the worse SD card restrictions that no one cared about and not to mention the wifi is very slow on my note 4.
Every search I find leads here... as stated previously, everything else out there is to "enable" it....
I really can't believe this drastic ui change is forced onto us, Android is the os of options... where is the option?
It's even more annoying that to get back the nav buttons, or top task bar, that the phone has to be rotated just right, or swiping doesn't work, half the screen stays blank after it closes, etc... I just want it off, want to see my navigation all the time!!!!
I hate Immersive mode!!!!!! :crying::crying::crying:
I know that the secure settings app can gain access to expanded desktop,
i want to integrate expanded desktop for root users on CM/PA etc with expanded desktop/immersive mode on thier device and trigger it during specific scenarios. is there anyway to toggle using shell (i.e. force set to on or off)
ive been looking at implementing something similar on non-rooted devices so not having any luck atm, so i thought i would start with root users and devices without navbar

go and post here instead... http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
UPDATE: The pool closed after 30 days, but you can still show your need for the feature by adding a post in this thread.
Right now, Remix handles background app activity differently from native Android - if you close the app window, the app is killed - won't continue running in background.
At first glance it feels intuitive and right, because it's battery & performance friendly, but...
Many apps were designed to base their activity in the background like: messaging & social media apps, e-mail clients, network monitors and quite much any app that uses notifications.
Of course you can still run them in background with the window minimized - but that takes up the taskbar space with each background app.
In Windows you can close the window, and the app goes into the traybar (near the date) and doesn't take up the taskbar space.
What I'm requesting is simple:
An autorun permission toggle in settings
By default apps would have autostart switched off, but you could always switch it on for selected apps.
This way we wouldn't have to worry about performance or battery usage - system will still use only what we want it to.
Please vote in the pool and share your thoughts on this suggestion. If you are not convinced, then read further on
Examples where this feature is needed:
Messenger app:
- notifies you about new messages/calls in the notifcation area
- pops a chat head once someone sends you a message (if feature enabled)
Cloes Messenger window -> no notifications received/no chat heads popups.
Actually what's weird - it sometimes autostarts itself - at least on my device. I couldn't find how that happens, but it seems random.
Gmail / e-mail apps:
- send you notifications when you receive an e-mail
Close window -> No notification
Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/Tapatalk/YouTube these also use the power of background activity by notifying you about new stuff. Closing window -> no notication.
There are also monitoring apps - f.e. Internet Speed Meter which main feature is a notification in the notification area showing real-time bandwith usage. It won't work for Remix unless you keep the window open/minimized.
Clock app for settng alarm -> Close Window -> No alarm
Come on guys!
I personally would love to have this feature and I bet the community would want it too! But, for this to happen, we need more votes!
I vote, yes for the toggle.
Yes of course but for Selected apps.
@johnb111 Like I described in the OP, it would be just for the selected apps.
I need it !! Please !!

No need for this kind of repetition.
Just thank the OP's first post, and that counts as support for the addition of this feature.
Unless you have specific details to add, it's better to avoid cluttering the thread.
No offence meant to anyone, just a suggestion to keep in mind.
Can you please confirm my understanding that Remix OS does not have background notifications if the app is closed unlike the normal Android OS? Do you think this is a deal breaker since im considering to get a tablet with Remix OS in it vs the one with Android 5.1.1? Thanks in advance for your thougths!
Yes, that's correct - once you close an app window you will not get any notifications from it.
But an autostart toggle could solve this?
@[msd]
Yes, autostart toggle allows for app to start automatically - not just at boot, but also after you close it.
Native, clean Android allows all apps to autorun by default.
Phoenix OS f.e. added a toggle. By default app can NOT autorun, but you can always enable this permission.
I"m on 3.0.207 Remix OS, and get notifications after hit "Quit app" at Gmail. How it works??
@[msd]
Depends on how the app is designed. I don't know why it works after closing, Remix OS has no documentation for how it works, so its hard to say.
If you close Messenger app window, you will not get any further notifications or if you close Alarm app, it won't ring. There are many examples, but it's worst with messaging apps and apps that operate in background only.
It"s true, the Viber doesn"t work after close it, only the Gmail.
Google always break the rules, haha
@[msd] its probably the Google services that are always working in the background
Yepp, I"ve updated it.
Override the autrorun
With the app SD Maid, I know you can change the autorun for apps. Try that.
Sleep and Shutdown support for Intel Atom
This is an ideal OS for the Intel Atom mini laptops. I would love to see the sleep/shutdown issue resolved on the next update. It's they only problem I have discovered while using it on this processor.
Currently I work around it by not letting it sleep. I shut it down by initiating a restart, and then powering off when the HP splashscreen or Bios message appears.
Is there a way to get notifications to pop-up when the always on display is active?
You get the icon above the clock. Are you wanting a whole heads up notification or something? The screen to turn on? I don't think there is an option for something like that. At least I haven't seen one.

Yes - I would prefer a pop-up notification for text messages, emails. Was hoping there was a setting I was missing to be able to allow this.
Thanks.

It only shows an icon. I wish it showed the actual message Like Pixel does. but it does not. If your main concern is text messages you can download something like Textra which has an option to wake up the phone when I message arrives. Then you will see the message.

Is there somewhere an app that will also show pop-up messages? Using the Outlook app for example...I find it totally worthless that I get a notification sound but absolutely no popup. I don't want to have to pull the notification center down, I just want a pop up showing the message that I just received.
On that note, I *HATE* how the lock screen INSISTS on combining notifications from an app. If I get 10 emails, I want to see 10 separate notification entries, damn it.
Using Android....is, well, annoying. I shouldn't have to download apps just to make everything work. No wonder my wife rejected the V30 and went back to iOS.

Believe it or not Android is getting better and better with how notifications are handled and how they can be custom tailored per each app. The usage of the notification center is that way for a reason for quick and easy access to your notifications without completely interrupting the user. The cool thing is that there are other apps that you can use in order to adjust the phone to perform how you want it. Android is all about customization. You can have it the way it comes from the manufacturer or you can add apps to customize your experience. For this reason it may take an Android user longer to initially set up a phone vs a iUser.
Good luck.

Is anyone using any immersive mode apps(the ones that allow you to hide the navigation and the status bar)? On my Note 10+ I am using one called Granular Immersive Mode but it does not seem to be working on the V60.
I already gave the app all the permissions through ADB commands and all went smoothly but still apps have the status bar on top.
Drives me nuts to think that notification will be burned on the screen because of that.
I figured this out, there was an extra toggle to make the phone apply the immersive mode to all the apps. I am also using the XDA 'Navigation Gestures' app and loving the phone so far. I am glad I blew my budget for phones this year on this instead of the note 20+ Ultra
