Hi,
I have I assume is a very specific question. Cyanogenmod 7.2 has vim (and nano) installed, but when i use vim, the full size of my terminal is unused, and the cursor position and what is displayed become asynchronous. I have tried setting TERM=linux and TERM=xterm (I'm using OS X terminal which emulates an xterm), but neither get me a working vim. vi, which is part of busybox works fine. nano also fails to use the height of my terminal window, and additionally the enter key is broken.
Does anyone know of any fixes, config to get a working vim using android?
Thanks in advance for any info!
Findin' ma size...
To answer my own question for the benefit of others:
So, it seems at least Cyanogemnod7.2 Bash does not correctly receive the size of the terminal window from its host (use "stty -a" to check):
Code:
[16:44 localhost]-1 /
-> stty -a
speed 38400 baud;stty: standard input: No such file or directory...
And therefore Vim is unable to correctly set its columns and lines. The solution is simple, you have to force the terminal session to reread the window dimensions:
Code:
[16:45 localhost]-1 /
-> resize
[16:45 localhost]-1 /
-> stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 63; columns 107; line = 2;
I add "resize" to the bottom of my .bashrc file to do this automatically. Note if you are in Vim and resize your window, you need to force rereading the new dimensions, the vim command ":!resize" will do this.
Hi guys, i was searching for a way to hide the navigation bar without any app that will require you buying it or it consuming battery and after finding a couple of threads on the topic i thought of sharing my findings and also as a reference to go back to in case i forget how to. This is also good for eliminating or reducing screen burn caused by the bars on Amoled screens.

Type the following commands in adb/fastboot environment (adb shell) on your PC after connecting the phone in file transfer mode and usb debugging is on:
· Hide Status Bar only type:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
· Hide Navigation Bar only type:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
· Hide Both Bars type:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
· Back to normal/default state:
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
--------------------------------------------
Updates: (15/5/2017):
+ Immersive in all apps except certain apps
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=apps,-"app location",-"another app location"
Notes:
1. You can get the app location by going to "system/data/data" using any file browser with root, the location should start with the app folder name "com.appname"
Ex: com.whatsapp
2. Remove quotation marks(" ")when adding the location of the app also add an apostrophe(,) if you are adding more than one app and when typing the code there is no space after the apostrophe.

By the way this method works on all rom versions i have tested it on Nougat and all commands work. Good

Updates: (17/5/2017):
Apps Identified to not play well with navigation and status bar hidden and how to exclude them(To be updated accordingly):
Apps List:
*Whatsapp(When typing the status bar needs to be there to see what others wrote at the same time)
*Wechat(When typing the status bar needs to be there to see what others wrote at the same time)
*Youtube(When typing the status bar and navigation bar need to be there)
*Hangouts(When typing the status bar needs to be there to see what others wrote at the same time)
---------------
Code: adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.google.android.youtube,:immersive.status=apps,-com.whatsapp,-com.tencent.mm,-com.google.android.youtube,-com.google.android.talk
---------------
P.S: If you want to use these commands directly on your phone without a PC you need first to be rooted, next use any shell terminal to insert the code but remove the "adb shell" part.
So in the terminal app for example if you wanted to hide both bars you type the following:
>su
>settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
Thank you for this info, also I just tested it using Android terminal and it works well. I don't always have PC nearby to test things, very nice.

Cool that's another way. I don't know why we need to do it manually instead of google offering it as an option.
I would love it on as a Google option.

Just found the answer from https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/how-to-enable-true-immersive-modes-t3554299
wilhexm said:
Sure!
for example, if u want to enable some apps
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=com.chrome.beta,com.google.android.apps.magazines,com.medium.reader
or if u want immersive full except some apps
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=apps,-com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher,-com.twitter.android,-com.google.android.apps.photos,-com.google.android.GoogleCamera,-com.google.android.keep,-com.android.settings
The difference is the "-" before [app full name]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In this case you can add app names or 'apps,-*app name* to enable or set full immersive except some apps
Hi could you explain in more detail how one does this? Thank you. I have no knowledge of adb within Android.
Permission denied
Hi
I'm trying this directly from the phone but I got the message "setting permission denied"
I'm in debug and dev mode

Sorry, there are a lot of threads about Adb. If you are not familiar with rooting, flashing a rom. Then i suggest you don't do this. Please don't take offense but it's better to read on those topics before attempting this.

You need to be rooted to execute the command within the phone.
@ashad83
hello friend and thanks for you post.
Is possible desactivate(delete) navbar without immersive mode. For use pie etc.....my nexus 6p no root. thanks in advance.
I can´t use the code qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1....or is possible make with adb and how?
Thanks in advance....
$ su
put global policy_control immersive.status=* <
sush: adb: not found
127|angler:/data/data/com.termux/files/home # exit
$ adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
No command 'adb' found, did you mean:
Command 'gdb' from package 'gdb'
$
This works perfect for my stock nonrooted Samsung Galaxy S8+.
Thank you
/CK
This command work on non-rooted devices?
[email protected]:/ # setprop qemu.hw.mainkeys 0 //to turn ON soft keys
[email protected]:/ # setprop qemu.hw.mainkeys 1 //to turn OFF soft keys

Hi isaak, to remove the navigation bar without root you need to take the build.prop file from the System folder using adb commands "Pull" and "Push" (If you search online you will find alot of threads on how to use the command) edit the file by adding the code: " qemu.hw....." to it on your PC and then returning the file to it's place on the phone. I am sorry i can't give you a step by step on how to do this because i am travelling, if i have time i might right a tutorial on how to do this. Good Luck

Thank you Works absolutely perfectly. I'm thinking about working on a project in the future if people are interested where I make a flashable zip for different roms that will add immersive mode as a feature.
What's the benefit of on nav bar? If no nav bar how do you guys navigate around the OS?

Good question, we use apps like LMT launcher or GMD gesture control instead of the navigation bar which wastes a good portion of the screen. I used both and i love both of them but i think gesture navigation is the future. Now since Nougat update i stopped using both of these apps because it's a headache to simply root and change the build.prop to simply use both apps, instead i opted to hide the status and navigation bar. You should try both apps you will enjoy your phones' screen more. :good:
To fit the status bar with notch, it is necessary to change the density of the device screen
See the attached image.
Steps.
Enable "USB debugging" in "Develop options".
Enable "USB security setting" (bellow "USB debugging") (tap on yes to all).
Setup ADB on your computer with this tool
Open the ADB installation folder
Right click + shift and click on open command window here (on windows 10, type "CMD" in the upper bar and enter)
Type this and accept all permissions on the device screen:
ADB Devices
adb shell wm density 470
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Done!
It is likely that the screen aspect looks a bit different, you can fix that by adjusting the size of the font in screen options.
Thanks
or change it in developer settings ...
there is no difference
Wow u change resolution from ADB! Mama's hacker!

This is not solution, already have it on forum, changing resolution it's not what all we want! Stop repost this sh!t.
Thank you. I didn't know these. Is there a way to only fit the status bar , because when I change this, all the icons and text shrink. I have a theme with the icons very big, and I would like to keep it that way.
Nope
Okey so. Doesn't work.
How can I go back?
Hello guys, so today I'm going to teach you on how to disable a black bar under your keyboard on rog 3
Im using Gboard as my default keyboard.
First go to adb mode ( make sure you have enabled the usb debugging mode in developers option )
and type " adb devices " , wait for it to detect your device.
Then copy this command " adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-170 "
To restore the bar simply change the "-170 " with another digits
By the way, my settings for display is Large so adjust the last digit as you like. That's all
I have a small local network:
• A router not connected to the Internet
• 20 tablets that connect to it
• a computer under linux with LAMP
• a computer under windows with WAMP
When I want to install new apps on the tablets, I have to plug them one by one into a computer and run ADB commands. Would it be possible to execute these commands over WiFi? All tablets are rooted and the network is secure because there is no internet access. So I wouldn't be afraid to use security holes to carry out adb commands over WiFi.
Example of remarkable ADB commands:
• Place files on the tablet: adb push C:/APPLICATIONS/TitaniumBackup/ /sdcard/
• Install several applications: for %f in (C:\ APPLICATIONS\*.Apk) do adb install -t -g -r "%f"
• Start an application: adb shell am start -n com.package.name/com.package.name.ActivityName
•take photos
• activate or deactivate wifi
• Re-boot the tablet: adb reboot
• etc.
I would like to be able to do this on all 20 tablets via the wifi network rather than plugging them one by one into my computer.
Thank you in advance for any ideas you can share with me.

Yes, android supports ADB over WiFi.
Do a google search for:
"ADB over Wifi"
Sent from my SM-S767VL using Tapatalk
Yes, indeed, the answer was easily found on the web. I asked it because that day I split one big issue into several smaller ones to post requests on your forum. And I never imagined it would be so easy to connect 20 tablets to each other using a local wifi network and adb. The app jwoegerbauer recommended to me is just wonderful. Now I can:
- simultaneously install an application on the 20 tablets from my PC:
FOR /F "skip=1" %x IN ('adb devices') DO start adb -s %x install -r "my-apk.apk"
- uninstall an application on the 20 tablets
- place folders or files I want where I want on all the tablets (they are rooted):
FOR /F "skip=1" %x IN ('adb devices') DO start adb -s %x push C:/my-file/ /sdcard/
- take a file from each tablet or delete it
- even take a screenshot of the tablet I want:
adb -s 192.168.43.122:5555 shell screencap /sdcard/testadb/screen.png
or 20 tablets:
FOR /F "skip=1" %x IN ('adb devices') DO start adb -s %x shell screencap /sdcard/testadb/screen.png
Many thanks to jwoegerbauer for recommending the Wireless ADB application to me.
However, I would like to explore the matter further. The problem I'm looking to solve is to manage a group of tablets without internet and without having to pay an MDM (Android mobile device manager). With ADB, I can install and uninstall applications and send or receive files. Here is what remains to be done:
- I am learning how to remotely change the settings of my 20 tablets. Imagine how tedious it is to turn on the wifi on each of the tablets, then select a network and enter the password. Sometimes I need to turn off wifi or change networks on all tablets. I also have to change the default display or font size. Last week, I've had to set the time and time zone on each one because "network provided time" does not work in a local area network not connected to the Internet. I will tell you which adb formulas I have tested if anyone is interested.
- I also started an other thread on xda-developers: Remotely modify the settings of an android application. Indeed, it takes a plenty of time to manually change the preferences and datas of an application already installed on 20 tablets. If you have any ideas on this, I'd be happy to read your ideas on the forum.
AFAIK USB hubs with 20 ports exist
