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:
One serious problem in "realme 1" is when I turn on the accessibility of a certain app and developer options, status bar color changes to yellow nd it won't go until I switch them back to off....it says Accessibility is turned on. Tap to close..... And even if I clear ram, the accessibility turns off automatically... Any solution to keep accessibility of a desired app always on? I tried every possible trick but in vain...a little help is appreciated. Thank you

Color of status bar changing to yellow and need to turn off is not possible they (realme )claims it's feature of color os. And accessibility option issue is when you turn on accessibility option or similar app which is permitted to accessibility option is responsible.
Yeah, I too noticed it
I have the exact same problem, I thinking of to change my phone due to multiple reasons
New updated solved the issue
I always set my dpi as 540, the orange developer option reminder was irritating. The recent software update has solved the issue, check it out.

Solved in New update but still there is a problem
I use greenify app to kill apps in background
But it needs accessibility on Everytime.
But once i kill the app from recents (greenify)
The accessibility gets turned off automatically in settings.
Also in developer options i turned all animations off, but after restart all settings are restored to default.

no you don't get it right, what he says is whenever animations are set to 0.5x (in my case) .. after restart device the settings are get default to 1x automatically. This is really weird.. and frustrating.

Got the china ROM and I have quickly realized that notifications were locked up very tightly. Even after turning everything off/allowing notifications, notifications still don't work on lock screen.
I have:
Turned off Power Smart Saver
Custom Power Saving > Allow Background Running
Manage Notifications > Allow Notifications > Display on Lock screen
Battery > App quick freeze > Turn auto freeze off
Anyone have a solution or do I have to put up with the fact that the china rom is inferior
Which notification are you having issue with?
Did you disabled anything using adb?
I disabled com.coloros.athena
And im getting my Gmail and calendar notification somewhat reliable.

What does disabling com.coloros.athena do?
Edit:just found what Athena supposedly does, removing this fixed it for you?
Edit2:
Crowbar Asdfghjkl said:
According to running processes in the developer options, it looks like com.coloros.athena is responsible for killing background processes. I will have to look into this further tomorrow.
EDIT: I deleted com.coloros.athena together with com.coloros.safecenter and com.coloros.oppoguardelf. Looks like Tasker is running in the background now (though it is using a suspiciously small amount of ram compared with previous phones I have).

Using this I have got some more notifications to behave more normally, but things like SoundCloud player will sometimes decide not to show up, is there anything more I can do?

I'm getting my Gmail and calendar pretty consistently....
Also the messenger that im using (Viber)
It also seem that it learns what app you use the most and kinda know to let notification through..

I actually had the same problem with my Oppo Find X. I use the Android Version 8.1.0 with the ColorOS Version V5.2.1.
Step 1: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Turn Off "Smart Power Saver" --> go to Custom Power Consumption Protection --> Select WhatsApp --> Tick "Allow Background Running"
Step 2: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Select "App quick freeze" --> disable WhatsApp
Step 3: On your Phone you have 3 Buttons, the one where you can go back, the other to get to Home Screen and the other one, where we can check our opened windows we use right now.
We need to open WhatsApp once, just to see it as an opened window, now use the third button i told you and use you finger to push the WhatsApp window DOWN. There you have the option to "Lock" the
App. That means, the App will be opened all the time without getting freezed and you can get messages. Remember to Manage the Notifications of WhatsApp in the Settings, like "Display on Lockscreen" and
"Display at the Top of the Screen"
I hope i was able to help you or other Persons. If you have questions, message me on: [email protected]
I have the paid fluid navigation app that works awesome. I also did the adb trick in order to disable the native gestures. My issue is that every once in a while the system will keep reverting to the 3 key navigation bar setting even though I had it set to gestures. See below. I'm using Nova launcher prime as well. It's annoying to have to go back to settings and change it back to "gestures". Anyone having this or know why it's doing this?
I normally wouldn't care about this as it really doesn't affect my gesture navigations no matter what the native settings are set to, however I have noticed that whenever it's set to the 3 key bar, when I unlock my phone, the whole screen shifts down really quick to take up the space that was supposed to be occupied by the navigation bar, if that makes sense. If the setting is on "gestures" , nothing shifts and it's really smooth and seamless.
In fluid gestures try disabling any settings in the blacklist. I was having issues with the app constantly stopping after fiddling around I found doing this fixed all the problems.
It may help, can't be certain though.

I had 2 of the default settings activated in the blacklist section, I've turned everything off as you stated now. Let's hope that does the trick. Thanks!
