hi
i saw some videos about z2 on games ,,, the software buttons still appear or theire space .
in one m8 ,,, the screen going full on games ,,, and you can show the buttons by sliding
on kitkat ,,, there is immersive mode ,,, to make all the screen free from the upper bar and the buttons
are there any ways to have full screen on z2 at least for gaming like m8 ? without rooting
thx and sorry for my english
I'm not too sure what you mean. I've been playing temple run 2 a far bit today and the buttons have changed to small dots, like it does when using the camera

There are apps like Softkeys Ninja and Immersive Full-Screen Mode.

There absolutely is immersive mode, just like on the M8. There was a review which showed a game of Minion Run or whatever that's called, and it hid the softkeys. It just depends on the game if it utilizes immersive mode or not

GTA on M8 has onscreen buttons too.

If you look at this video, the Z2 does indeed hide the softkeys. It just depends on the game

No, on M8 still has navibar softkeys, you can watch that video on YouTube.
One of the reasons I swaped Galaxy S4 to Z2 was screen size. And now the actuall screen size is even smaller when playing games. But. I have just played refreshed version of Fruit Ninja and this is first game where soft keys are nicely hidden. Anyone got some ideas hide them in all games??
try installing full!screen app from play store.
I am using "Force imersive mode" its xposed module.. Requires root

Downloading now. I imagine this ould be used to block palm detection for drawing like on Sketchbook Pro and the sort. I'll edit this after a review. Thanks for the opportunity.
What? Palm detection? I think it will only work on a few devices...
I wish I could use this for the soft keys on the navigation bar. It would really help cause I'm left handed (I keep hitting the back/home keys by mistake when I'm writing on my Prime).

OK after using it today, i found it pretty straightforward and simple to use.
Found only one small bug,when playing a video, on YouTube, stock player or whatever, if you touch the screen the on-screen controls jump on, you cannot press them, but the UI do popup.
And one suggestion, the resizeable square where you select the zone to be blocked from touches should have at least a small pad or something to drag it. Once the square reaches the borders it gets really hard to pick again.

On the latest ICS update. Go to settings/ASUS customized settings/system bar lock/enable system bar lock. Now you won't hit the home key or any softkey buttons.

I don't think it can be used for that. You could use TouchScreenTune app, paid version can handle palm detection on our device.
This app is for blocking areas of the screen.

So I ordered now LG G2 32GB (950USD in Israel, I know its expensive but well... thats what it is and I wanted a device with large screen, powerfull multi tasking and something that I wont have to replace in 1 year but at least in 2 years, super power little computer for all my internet, emails, mult tasking, office things...), I could choose Z Ultra, S4, Optimus G Pro but took G2 as most people online voted for this one and I heard them plus I liked the way this device looks from all photos I watched and I liked it's longer life per each charge versus others (from reviews i was reading).
Now something I feel bothered with, I see on youtube that this soft menu buttons stays even in games, pretty much anywhere...
So following my study, how to make the LG G2 perfect in terms of screen space utilization and avoid loosing so much space due to the soft buttons (your own risk):
1) Root your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45692679#post45692679
2) Auto Hide soft keys: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys&hl=en
3) Use the auto hide function of the soft keys and enjoy from the footer menu when you need it without it always be there OR dont use the footer menu at all and enjoy from Pie Menu style using LMT launcher: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/01/23/lmt-launcher-brings-pie-goodness-without-the-custom-rom/

Does the app allow you to reduce the size of the navigation bar? I'd like to make it slightly smaller. If not, does anyone know of an app or method that does allow this?
Thanks
The international version has the auto hide function built in through an update. Verizon is probably just being a hard case and holding the update for their G2s.

Basically, you select the apps that you want it hidden when in use. It should've been a default feature but I'll take the OTA if it's a quick fix. Not sure if it's like auto-hide key app where you can swipe up. I think it's more permanent (hidden or visible) with no middle ground.

So I tried it out, and you can adjust the size with the auto hide bar, but not the static (default) navigation bar. I kind of like the auto hide and may keep it, but if I can find a way to just reduce the height of the stock bar I may prefer that.

By the way I spoke to the LG MOBILE department in USA about the auto hide feature. this is the official response:
I definitely understand some of the suggestions you have made. I will pass this along the departments that manage software and development. Thanks again for your insight ^FC
I vote for some pie app or custom rom with builtin pie.
You can set it on bottom or side of screen or both. Revolution of big screen and one hand use! I allso bought that gmd autohide softkeys app but nevergoing back.
Customrom, fullscreen mode and pie control!
Best thing since 1st android!

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

Hello ,The trick works on the galaxy s8 and s8 +, with any official youtube version.
To be able to do the youtube trick in the background without root, do the following:
● Open the application in the normal way.
● Select the video of your choice.
● leave the video playback.
● Go to the beginning, without closing the multitasking.
□ Here are two options to activate youtube in the background:
1-Through the play button of the headphones that we have connected to the phone.
● Close the default music player on your phone, since it is activated; When you press the play button on the headphones, the music player will be activated and youtube will not be activated.
2-Lock the screen and move the clock widget to the left, the youtube widget appears on the play button and ready; This option works without headphones or headphones.
◇Important never close youtube in multitasking.
□Luck ^-^.

Yes the features offered by Ogyoutube are very good, but in Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 +, there is no button to adapt the video to the entire screen and looks ugly with black frames

Hello all!
I've seen it somewhat posted throughout the comments here but no thread on it directly. I figure the potential of this this deserves it's own thread and tutorial for those who are coming from Google to try and do exactly this without reading through a few threads.
Anyways:
How to enable Wide View on every app:
Download this app,G8x WideMode.
This puts a new icon in the top bar in the notification shade. If you don't see it, pull down twice and hit the pencil to edit the icons. Find the new one and place it somewhere near the top to keep it close by.
When the dual screen is open, tapping that will force wide screen in every app! There are some limitations:
Intent changes seem to revert the phone back to two separate pages. For instance, the mobile Reddit app Sync closes wide screen if I click any link to an external picture, video or site.
Some apps do f play nice in wide screen due to this, and you can't keep the phone permanently in the mode like a tablet, but it's a great improvement to a great phone idea.
This is super simple so I didn't think pictures were necessary, but let me know if I wasn't clear on anything or if you have problems somewhere!
This is very much appreciated! It works like a charm. It's not the floating dual screen thingy but the toggle buttons that you swipe down from the top. Make sure you add it.
Hey, this app seems to work great! I did have an issue with one app called Steam Link. Steam Link allows you to connect to a computer running Steam and remotely control it from your Android device. When I launch a game and try to use WideMode the Steam Link app refreshes and goes back to a single screen. I would love to be able to play some of my steam games over both screens.

I don't understand. couldn't you just auto rotate? you can also use the rotation control app to lock rotation, which helps with wide Mode

auto rotation did not work because some apps are forced landscape/portrait.
I did end up using the rotation control app with the per-app conditions. :good:
Next nice thing would be if some apps would restart at the new resolution, instead of stretching the single-screen app - some apps/games work perfectly, but others don't (and I think they should have a similar resolution compatible because I've used the axon M, which has "dual screen" retained through home with those apps).
