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.
Bump
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:
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.
Hello
Does anybody knows if it is possible to force not to use at all the immersive mode (full-screen)?
Background is, that on my phone, a Cubot Note Plus with Android 7.0 the TouchScreen is a bit broken. The top part, two rows of Touch-pixels are not working anymore. I cannot swipe down the NotificationBar with that fault and I use some work-arounds for it (with Tasker, Xposed Additions and Lightning-Launcher) to swipe down the NotificationBar anyway (by other buttons with a Task or by gesture).
This is a Cubot Note Plus disease, I had that fault nearly exactly with my former Cubot Note Plus and it happened only after about 4 months of use each time. Some rare times it still works again, but it is a while that it did the last time now, I think its gone now.
I can use the phone but it is annoying, because some apps have important buttons in the top part and they force fullscreen.
Even some apps doesn't allow to auto rotate the screen, so I cannot use these apps anymore (e.g. Autodesk)
I never was able to disable generally Fullscreen / Immersive Mode. Not with "Force Immersive Mode", an Xposed module and not with the app "Immersive Manager 1.2.1" (where it says in the help: "Note that it's also not possible to override the immersive mode of an app in case it uses the immersive mode itself").
Or another, more complicated way were to crop the active display?
Then I would like to discard the top of the display, so that the whole display is some pixels smaller in height.It is about the height of the NotificationBar in the top. The display-output should then just not use this part of the display and the phone should think it has a smaller display.
This solution would be much more drastic I guess.
Thanks for any hint.

PS.: the question on Stackexchange is unfortunately unaswered (only with a not working answer).
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
