Hello,
As you might know, you can swipe either from the top or the bottom to reveal the status- and navbar in Immersive Mode. Now would it be possible (preferably with Xposed) to disable one of these gestures? For example, you don't want to accidentally. And please don't ask me why, I just want to know if it is possible. Thanks.

I'm searching for that too! I want my navbar back
Sent from my XT1033 using XDA Free mobile app
I want to disable immersive mode all together. A real feature no one wanted or asked for.
Gah ****ing android its UI is so inconsistent from version to version it drives me nuts!!! iOS from version 1 to version 8 its still the same. Android got it wrong the first time and they take such mis-steps everyone just gets angry with this crap.
Loving my z3, although bothered by the onscreen key real estate sometimes. And not looking to root.
I've discovered Javelin - which is and excellent browser that offers both full screen AND immersive mode.
But looking for others. Utility apps, games, whatever. Any recommendations?
Would love an sms app with this feature if one exists.......
Easiest way would be if Sony added, a function like the LG G3 where you have to swipe up from bottom to get Navbar, when you enable it for certain apps.
Yep agreed. Trust me it is much better now in this version of android than previous, where that stupidly huge bar was there all the time, at least now many apps go to the full screen mode completely hiding it
I've installed Immersive Mode app and it solved this bar problem with any app (per app configurable).

Which immersive mode app? There are multiple ones.
I've installed this one. Mainly because it has tasker support and cheaper.
Using showbox on my Xperia z3, put cable in to watch on my TV but won't give me a full screen just a box? How can I fix ths

...Just use this rom and set "immersive mode" tile in settings/eXistenz/notification panel/panel quick toggles/ to have quick fullscreen switcher for apps...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/rom-existenz-y-1-0-0-02-07-t3148877
I am sure many miss the ability to lock the rotation whether if you are in landscape mode or portrait mode. But as you may know, on OOS4 (Nougat) when you lock the rotation it goes back to portrait mode.
After trying many apps I found a solution that is actually better than what I was looking for. My intention was to find an extra tile but instead I found out that this app will modify de behaviour of the existing tile. So when you are in landscape and lock the rotation it will stay locked in landscape mode. Just like the old days.
To do that just download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
Then set it up like in the screen shots attached and you're done.
The only drawback is that you need a license after 7 days.
Hope this helps.

Thanks man.
I found this article for immersive mode for galaxy devices but upon updating to oreo, my note 8 is not going on immersive mode on the home screen and app screen.
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...re-screen-real-estate-no-root-needed-0177297/
I didn't know this was a thing.
I just have my taskbar come up when I need to, so just double tap it and it'll "un-stick" it!
Then whenever you need to access one of the buttons, you just swipe up and it's there.
I've found it particularly natural to use!
the article also includes full immersive mode (nav bar and status bar). in nougat it was system wide. now in oreo, it doesn't work in home screen and app screen
I'm fine having the Status Bar on the homepage, and the nav bar with the swipe function has turned in to a must. Using bxActions, i've remapped the Bixby button to get immersive mode in apps, which is where i need it, even though it has strange artifacts like the typing box on messaging apps tends to go a bit underneath the keyboard, but i got used to it.
Are you talking about a BAR showing across the top of the screen on the home page? I am on what CRC2 and.. no bar.
yes. i am also on crc2. i reset my phone twice and still showing status bar and nav bar on home screen and apps screen. maybe there is something on my phone.

i'm on Oreo and using an app in Playstore "Shortcutter Quicksettings "( paid version )
for the Immersive mode mode function .
But the free version is ......
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leedroid.shortcutter
You have to do a small ADB enabling on pc .
Works fine, you can also configure immersive mode
in Shortcutter app settings and have add a shortcut to your device screen to quickly enable either
" off/full/no statusbar/no nav "
Not sure if this function is fully available in free version .
I think you can also enable per app also .
Check it out if you really want immersive mode .
I have been using this app for a long time ( on and off )
i had no issues with app .
good luck

I would like to hide the bar with clock and battery icons. It is possible with this?

I use Shortcutter only for Immersive mode, as i can easily change modes with a tap.
You can either hide Statusbar /or Nav bar /or both or just tap off. (widget shortcut)
Take look at screenshots.
I'm sure it will answer your question.?
Good luck
Just to add, no root necessary.
Just a straight forward ADB command
that the dev gives clear example and guide.
Also had no issues with battery use.
Further in Shortcutter you can place cutom quick settings tiles for apps of your choice.
For me it's a good quality app, that i
have been using on and off for a long time.
Me, too.
I use APPs or ADB commands that all can't let home screen to immersive mode.
My phone is Note8 with Android 8.0.
Anyone could find the way to do that?

I use shortcutter in my Note8 with Android 8.0, but it couldn't use full immersive mode in homescreen, only hiding status bar could work in homescreen.
The toogle doesn't works. Have I to mod something else or activate it from other settings?

hi ,
The toggle does work .
I uninstalled Shortcutter and re installed to see if its works .!
No issues .
all i did was go to Shortcutter app /manage permissions/ Settings secure Access/ tap on it .....
then follow dev instruction ..go to his website (as listed )
Then on laptop launch ADB /adb devices ...etc /then copy and paste the command as listed on website ,enter and check your phone if it accepted the cmd
Go to Shortcutter /Settings ..scroll down to near bottom ..Immersive mode /Select mode,
tap that and show active Notification .
I have NOVA Prime .
I select Nova widgets and select the Shortcutter widget .and the choose Immersive icon in options .
(see screenshots ......................................)
Yes, it seems you skipped maybe a step .?
If not working, your ADB cmd did not stick !
I have some screenshots on laptop if you need to see ADB snapshots .?
Just asked again .
i cannot upload more than 4 snapshots at a time .
Good luck
post note
in my last screenshot its best to select "show mode selector option " ( this is for your widget option, on your home screen )or otherwise just choose .
It will then give you all options " off/full/no statusbar/no nav"
Place widget and tap on it and select mode .

Thanks again.

Yes, in all my years I've never used Samsung experience @ TouchWiz .
Wouldn't know what it can do, apart from that it's
quite limited (sometimes)
Always used Nova Prime.
Just so many tweaks, options etc.
Anyway each, their own preferences.
Good luck

I attempted almost all app to put off and update the navigation bar for my Samsung S9 however all of them facing serval crop display and app UI difficulty. For instance Samsung Internet new tabs alignment, Crop gray backgound homewhilst windows doping up
I received my device yesterday. I am on the T-Mobile network. After setting up the phone I downloaded the Widescreen app. I have tried to get it to work several times and have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have a step by step on how to get it working. I am using Nova Launcher if it makes a difference. Thanks in advance for any help.
The app adds an option to your pull down quick tiles for wide mode, you won't be able to turn it on and off through the dual screen toolbar.
Drag down twice on the notification shade to get to the full quick tiles screen and hit the pencil to go into edit mode. Look through the available tiles to find the new 'wide mode' tile and add it to your current tiles selection. Now, when the dual screen is enabled, you will be able to toggle on/off wide mode by using the new quick tile.
Thanks for the information. I've tried that and it didn't work. I must be missing a step or doing something wrong. I'm going to keep trying.
I figured it out. I was missing a simple step. Thanks russnash.
