Hi all, I open this thread to ask people about how can I set an individual app to allow it to be able to opens in immersive mode, but after it closes returns to the default immersive state.
The following commands apply the immersive capability in whole system, but not per app:
· Status Bar (adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*)
· Navigation Bar (adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*)
· Both (adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*)
Thanks!
Note: Please avoid telling me to install apps like GMD, Xposed or something like that. I just want to manage it via adb.
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.

Thank you for the post, this is cool! Can I choose only certain apps to be immersive? or set full immersive except some apps?

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

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

Your welcome, thanks for the feedback i also wanted to know if this worked on Samsung S8+. I am thinking of getting the Note 8 when it comes out.

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:

FAQ
Q: I can’t find developer options, why?
A: Settings -> About phone -> Click ‘Build number’ several times
Q: I don’t have reboot options in power menu, why?
A: Settings -> Developer options -> Advanced restart
Q: I have no root, why? What is that hashtag on my status bar?
A: You need enable root access under Settings -> Developer options -> Root access. Root management is now integrated as part of LineageOS’ Privacy Guard and you can manage per app permissions under Settings -> Developer options -> Manage root access. You’ll have a persistent notification in the status bar when you’re running an app that uses root permissions.
Q: I have official 7” LCD display and touchscreen. What should I do?
A: Execute following commands in ‘adb shell’/serial console/terminal and reboot your device:
Code:
su
/system/bin/rpi3-display.sh
If you have official 7” LCD display version 1.0 that doesn’t support changing backlight brightness (vs. newer v1.1 that does) and your device boots with display backlight off you need to remove lights HAL and reboot your device:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/lib/hw/lights.rpi3.so
Q: Settings -> Storage shows xx GB used by system. There’s unallocated space on my scard. What should I do?
A: This is a 4 GB image, remaining space on your sdcard will remain unallocated. Settings app shows unallocated space as used by system which in reality it is not. You can use e.g. GParted and extend /data partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p3) to cover the unallocated space.
This ROM do not work on Raspberry Pi 3 B+!
If I write the Image to the SD-Card and put it in the RPI3B+ the red LED flashes 4 times long and 4 times short and the RPI don't boot
Has anyone had any luck getting a BerryBoot image of Lineage working? Thanks~

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
