Force Immersive Mode on L? - Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps

Is there a way to force immersive mode for all apps on Lollipop?

I assume you mean without rooting? In the playstore search "immersion mode" and at least four will be displayed. In the past I've used products from GMD and the Full-screen app but not on my Tab S. I only want the Navigation bar to be removed and that is native any way.
If you are rooted then a few custom ROMs would have that feature. Check on the first post of the available ROMS for your model as the ROM's features/extensions are listed there.

Thanks for your reply and sorry I just reacting now.
I meant with root, just w/o Xposed as I did it in KittKat. GMD is no good since you apparently can't use your keyboard while in forced immersive mode.
I ended up using this app. It requires root but enables you to activate forced immersive mode without any restrictions (basically just like with Xposed.

You can use the keyboard in Full screen mode with all in one gesture app ? I'm surprised. I thought it was impossible to do that !

Floating window- moveable/interact/multiple

Hello all.
Not sure if any body knows of this or if anyone has been able to do it. If this is known knowledge then forgive me, but to me is new.
I stumbled upon this completely accidentally and still not completely sure how I did it. On stock room, rooted.
I have xhalofloatingwindow installed, an xposed module. This allows floating windows for app but one cannot interact with the window.
I then was trying out another app called slide launcher available on the market. It allows a quick launching of apps by sliding up from the home button, and up pops a list of pre selected apps. When selecting apps to launch, slide launcher gives an option for floating window which I enabled. The description of the app says it only work with PA rom. But guess what, it worked on my stock rom. And I am able to launch not one floating window but multiple. All movable and can interact.
The size of the floating window can be resized via the xhalofloatingwindow module setting.
See the screen shots

Change Soft Keys Navigation

Hey all. Is there any way of changing the stock V10 Navigation buttons look. I honestly am not happy with them.
I already tried using SoftKeyz and it did not work. I installed BusyBox but got rid of it as it seemed to slow down my phone and overheat a little.
Is there any solution to this?
Well (if you consider rooting your phone) you could install xposed and G4 TWEAKS box which enables you to install various themes for your navigation bar
Word of advice. So far root is problem free for me. But xposed cripples the second screen. So be advised if you consider this option
Phone is already rooted. I am waiting on an xposed fixed before I grab it. Have their been any updates on the FC?

Any idea on how I can get the nav key themes I've downloaded to show up either on the phone setting or the g4 tb? The apk's for all of the 5 or so I've downloaded aren't showing up anywhere?

★How To Get True Immersive Mode/Fullscreen/Expanded Desktop in ANY Rom★

Want true fullscreen in any 7.1.1 Nougat rom? Want to be able to get maximum viewing space on your 6p? I have a treat for you!
Although the 6p screen is very large, I'm a huge proponent of maximizing screen real estate.
I found this setup is awesome because it gives you so much more viewing screen for everyday use. For example, in Chrome, now you can see so much more of a web page and it makes your viewing space so much better:
1) All in One Gestures App: enable fullscreen (within the app to get true fullscreen/immersive mode. Expanded desktop rocks. Massively improved viewing space baby!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...gestures&hl=en
2) Download Swipe Navigation App: from playstore. This is AWESOME. Enables swipe gestures to navigate and swipe as opposed to having a physical navbar. This saves huge amounts of screen real estate. At the bottom of the screen, left swipe up is back, middle swipe up is home, and right swipe up becomes recents. (This is so cool).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...vigation&hl=en
3) In a build prop editing app (I recommend BuildProp Editor), paste this line and save:
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1
(this removes the on-screen navigation bar, now you have awesomely improved screen real estate!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...p.editor&hl=en
Can you use the build prop edit to hide nav bar in 7.1.1 last I knew it wasn't possible.
Not sure where you heard that, because yes you certainly can!

it's possible to hide the navbar. it's not possible to change its height (through substratum). maybe that's what you heard
Hmm. Keyboard won't work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Kind of a deal-breaker.
Edit: tried out Swipe Navigation and the build.prop edit. Works perfectly right now. I was a little worried after restarting the phone because the Swipe Navigation app didn't start right away (I couldn't back out of an application, lol). But it started up in less than a minute and everything is good. I'm going to use for a while and maybe buy the $1.50 add-on that unlocks custom actions.

Please don't spread misinformation. The keyboard DOES certainly work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Everything works perfectly. I've been running this setup for 3 weeks and it works like a dream. This isn't the crappy GMD fullscreen buggy app, lol.

Oh my god... alright, whatever. Your logic is just flawless, I guess. You're right, it works for everyone - every, single person. Even me... somehow?

This app from the play store is the best that I have seen. Cost $1.99, I brought it with google play credits from the google surveys. It will give you the tiles in your toolbox and everything. You can hide the status bar, the nav bar, or both, plus alot extra. I use it. As long as your rooted there is no need to edit the build prop.

Easy there you get very defensive.
Rather then squabble with you, i think i discovered why it's not working for you.
Are you using superuser or supersu? I'm using the newest chainfire supersu SR3 beta. This might be your issue:
http://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
** IMPORTANT** Also, did you enable all permissions for the app?
As you can see from my screenshot, this is mine, works perfectly and IF you take the right steps i highly suspect it works for EVERYONE.

The reason why you need to edit the build prop, is because, if you want to use Swipe Gestures (the easiest and superior method for nav bar-less navigation imo) is because otherwise now you have two extra steps. You swipe up from bottom, and now you wait for the nav bar to 'come up'. You then hit the button you want. Takes time.
With my method, you instantly navigate with a gesture. One lightning fast action. That's why removing the nav bar in build prop is so important.
Also, the app you suggested costs money. Can be done better and at absolutely no cost.

Like I said earlier, I set my phone up just using the Swipe Navigation app and the build.prop edit. It's all working right now, so I don't really think that first app would add any benefit to me right now, even if it was working for me.

I clearly stated to download the beta that i posted. It's like three months ahead of the 'stable' SuperSU development cycle.
What rom are you using? I'm using uberstock.
I flashed two other roms, and I was able to get the keyboard working in immersive mode in both.
Everyone felates and sucks off purenexus, but Uberstock runs circles around it in my opinion.

(ROOT) Disable Navbar

Hey, since I bought my Pixel 2 Xl, I saw on videos those nav bar burn in and so I've tried both immersive and Tulsadiver Mod, Navbar Gone with Swipe Navigation with Edge Gesture. Immersive is good but it doesn't get rid of the nav bar completely and everytime I Swipe up Navbar gets up so i discarded the Immersive mode.
Then i tried Navbar gone, it worked great until some apps like Google photos crashed randomly. I checked if it was anything installed on my phone but i did a factory image reset and install just Magisk and the mod and it when crashing again.
Looking at my old devices (Nexus 5) and tried to use what i did use back in the day to remove my navbar to use pie and boom! It worked flawless and no crashing with any app. Obviously you need ROOT.
I only tested on stock ROM**
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO WRONG, ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA
REMEMBER TO DOWNLOAD SOME NAVIGATION APP BEFORE DOING THIS.
[YOU NEED ROOT]
1.Download a Build.Promp Editor /I used https://goo.gl/jXvZSu
2. Grant root access and press the edit button
3. Go to the last line press enter (Wich will create a new line)
4. Add this on a new line: "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1" (without the quotes)
5. Save and reboot.
I'd hope I've helped someone
This isn't really new but I'm sure your post will be helpful to some, nonetheless.
One thing I want to stress is that it is crucial to download and setup an app like Pie Control (Play Store link), Unique Controls (Play Store link), or Gesture Control (Play Store link) prior to disabling your nav bar. Otherwise you'll have no way to navigate around, making downloading and installing one of these nav bar apps after the fact, extremely difficult.

It should work on any ROM. I've personally used this method to disable nav bar on stock as well as Lineage OS, with no issues. Carbon should be fine too.
If you want to do this system-lessly, my magisk module does same thing.

I'd suggest using LMT launcher instead of pie control. Same features but no ads and it's neat

You guys Dan also try the "custom navigation bar" app which will allow you to select invisible icons. Not a perfect solution but it works well.
Very tks
To add my five cents:
Been using Fluid Navigation Gestures application for a while. With the last update before public release it became mature enough to recommend it.
You can disable navbar / it has various options. Try it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid

doesnt work!!
im on the latest version of stock pie, rooted with magisk.
This just doesnt work for me at all.
Ive tried using a build.prop editor
Ive tried adding it using adb shell, to see if it made a difference.
NOTHING WORKS!!
The magisk module doesnt work.
Any ideas as to why? I dont want to install another 3rd party app.
Ive always just added the build.prop setting, and used pie control from the play store.
HELP!!

it also has instructions on how to hide the status bar, as well.

Thanks to report either way :good:
During afternoon, I'll upload the source code to my github and provide a link to it right here, you'll see there's nothing really special, it my opinion, it may conflict with Custom Rom may be, but AOSP or AOSP Close Rom don't really conflict I guess (My XZ1 And my Girlfriend's S8 Are Stock)
We don't really know if the bootloop comes from this module or another, or even this module on a custom ROM
Need more feedback but for the time being be careful if you use a custom Rom.
AOSP or Close AOSP are safe I can comfirm it
Has anyone knows how to disable immesrsive mode system-wide (navigation bar ALWAYS visible) ? I want to make navbar always visible, in other words prevent it from hiding. Some apps autohides navigation bar which is very annoying, especially when app not responding and you want to close it with long press back button or just want to switch to another app.

Hi, this application has a function that hides status bar and displays nav bar, if you're root just give it a try, your feedback is welcome

When rebooting device it's absolutely normal to restart the app, didn't found a way yet to force immersive mode once and for all, and I don't wanna try it right now because it's directly the system who's involved, I need more practice to find a way
Now, the fact that everytime you lock your device you have to restart DeepScreen, that's pretty strange and I didn't experienced it on my phone nor my GF's, does Oxygen is a Custom Rom? Your device has been heavely modified?
