Anyone know of a way to force full screen on games? Just to get the navigation bar out of the way. Some games do it, some don't.
Also, I'm running BarRin odexed ZV6.
You can go to home touch buttons in the options, abs you can select which apps to display the Nav bar
Get a rom with immersive mode.
There are also several Xposed modules that can specify certain applications to work in full screen or immersive mode, such as the appropriately named App Settings.

I was playing a game and immersive mode was fine.
I disabled some xposed things.. Now the Nav bar will not go away on full screen apps.
I have tried reenable all xposed modules,rebooting,etc..not sure if I broke a setting somewhere.
I've been using AOSP roms on various phones for quite some time and have gotten hooked on using my phone in full screen while using PIE to navigate. Especially on a large phone i find this so so so much easier. Here are some tips i found out through trial and error to what i've found is an awesome experience. I'm using a rooted NF50F which makes doing this easier, though it still can be accomplished unrooted
1. To navigate around your phone use the best Pie application out there imo which is supported on these forums as well LMT
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
this app is so great because of how you can customize it. there are other non root alternatives in the play store but this is the best imo if you have root.
2. fully hide the navigation bar so it never pops up - this is the only way you can use LMT on the bottom of your phone which is excellent for one handed browsing. to do this you need to add the following line to the build.prop and the nav bar is gone forever even after reboots
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
add this line to the bottom of your build prop and save. if you ever want the keys back change the number to 0.
3. use the app SystemUI Tuner to hide the status bar. go under the immersive mode tab and select status bar. Note - you can also hide the nav bar with this app, but it is not fully hidden as it still appears with any upward swipe.
4. I turn edge lighting on so i see notifications when my phone is on. i don't want the entire message shown on my screen so edge lighting works great for me and is a great feature of this phone. you can even get edge lighting working with gmail. i also use textra pro for texting.
there are different ways to make your phone truly immersive including Xposed but if you don't want to used Xposed this is the best solution IMO.
other recommended apps:
Light Flow - to customize your led notification light
bx actions - https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-bxactions-remap-bixby-button-double-t3673372
material notification shade - can auto expand all notifications and get dark notifications
autonotifications - you can add more buttons to gmail like mark as read, spam, etc
I want to disable the notification shade entirely as its very irritating mid game. sometimes even pulls down the whole notification area since I use claw many buttons near the top of screen.
google only give solutions to disable notifications not the bar itself.
im currently unrooted and on stock rom don't mind unlocking and flashing if necessary.
I use full screen mode with gestures not buttons like shown in screenshot, enabled for getting using screenshot shortcut only (by long press back button)
I get extremely annoyed when certain apps force full-screen mode and my navigation buttons disappear. Would it be possible to hack Android to prevent this? I want navigation to be like the old days: reliably present.
