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.

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, due to the image retention this phone has, I want to hide nav bar and gain some extra screen too. But the problem here is that when I go to the settings, I can hide it on most apps, except on some google apps, for example youtube. Does anybody know how to get rid of this? Thanks in advance!
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).
Hi - my tablet upgraded yesterday to One UI 2.1. I use my tablet to play games frequently and the now the navigation bar is activated differently while doing so. Before the update I had full screen gestures enabled so that when I was playing games I could just single swipe the bottom area of the screen to perform navigation functions. There were no hints or symbols. After the update with the same settings... when i swipe the same area the first swipe brings up a small navigation bar (as well as notification bar at top) and then I have to swipe again for the navigation result. It's like the have the navigation bar on auto hide like a Windows task bar.
I was really used to the single swipe gesture in these games so am looking for a way to get back to that if possible. It appears that in the android interface and other apps it works as it used to. It is only in games that it now acts different. I checked my "game booster" settings and couldn't see anything different.
Thanks in advance!
