Good day to ya'all
I would like to hide my status bar within every app (Specifically the browser),yeah i heard a lot about immersive mode, but what it does it also disables the soft keys and keyboard. Which disrupts my workflow. I am currently running Darklord's N5 RC 2.1, and the option to hide the status bar for samsung's internet browser is missing, which is a bit of a downer as my stock lollipop rom had this option, are there any alternatives? I also have a phobia with AMOLED burn ins that is why i would have wanted it to hide the status bar as many times as possible.
Any suggestions?
Hmmm
1. It's forbidden to bump your thread in less than 24 hours.
2. Why not do some searching on your own instead of being impatient and waiting for someone to spoon feed you.
@Dejan Sathanas, ive been looking for a thread, but as stated, I want to know if there are other methods rather than using immersive mode
Hey, try to get xposed for your ROM search a Module named "ImmerseMe". Activate, reboot, enjoy.
Hello,
As you may know, Android 6 has a hidden feature, called System UI Tuner. This can be enabled by long-pressing the Settings icon in the top-right corner of the notifications bar. Once enabled, a new section appears in Settings, called "System UI Tuner". I think Developer mode must be enabled too for this to work, and animations must be on.
But on the S7 Edge, this doesn't seem to work. Tried to long-press that icon, and nothing. Animations are on, developer mode is enabled.
Did anyone succeed in enabling this ?
Thanks !

Not sure why you want that, since touchwiz ui already supports everything from there.. Imo

Really ? How can I remove icons from the status bar, like the Bluetooth icon even when it is enabled, for example, and have more room for notification icons ?

System UI Tuner isn't available on Touchwiz. Samsung removed it. However, I'm guessing most of you upgraded to Android Nougat, but for those of you who haven't should get this app called Good Lock.
Good Lock is an app made by Samsung that actually replaces the System UI on your phone, and will make it almost stock Android. I sure you still won't find System UI Tuner by holding the Settings button, but I sure that there is a setting in the Good Lock Settings menu to do so. My thought is that the Good Lock Settings Menu is their version of System UI Tuner.
You can find Good Lock in the Galaxy Store, but if it is not there for whatever reason, then just sideload it from this link here.
(apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/good-lock/good-lock-24-0-16-release/good-lock-24-0-16-android-apk-download)
--enter the link without the brackets, xda won't allow me to post links until I have made 10 posts--
I'm not sure if this will work in Nougat, as in the website it said that the minimum version of Android is Marshmallow, and the maximum version of Android is Marshmallow.
If you are willing to take the risk, try it and let us know if it will work.
Hope I helped!
It is pretty much impossible
You can't enable it Samsung and other companies have disabled it in manufacturing
How to enable system UI tuner in Samsung j5 prime
Go here and try it. I did get it working on my s7 edge non rooted but I recently had to do a factory reset and I can't get it to work. https://www.recovery-android.com/tips/access-system-ui-tuner-s7.html
i think this would be a better decision as it wouldnt require a computer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner
simply enable with adb once and you can tweak your phone anywhere without having to use a computer
Have: Nexus 6P stock 6.0.1. Need: some customization. Items in green have a solution.
I've enabled Developer Mode and System UI Tweaker. I'd like to do this without root, or anything that would affect individual Google Play-installable apps. (The reason is, I need this device for final user release testing, so it should be what users have just from factory reset + install apps and normal OS upgrades):
Different wallpaper on Lock Screen than behind icons and widgets. (Tried: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-lock-screen-wallpaper-help-how-can-i-do.html - No triple dot menu visible in Wallpaper)
Full brightness on Lock screen instead of 90%, independent of brightness settings. ("OK" option: same brightness as manual brightness in Settings) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/home-lockscreen-brightness-t1704705 - no Lock Screen Options in Settings)
Disable peeking globally. ("OK" option: put them in the statusbar like 4.4.4) (I don't want to disable peeking for every new app I install: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here...ifications-in-Android-6.0-Marshmallow_id75408) Temporary solution: I will manually disable peeking for every new app that shows them.
Global saturation setting for icons. (They're all saying "click ME!", that's an icon designer's job. With an excellent high-contrast screen like this, it's a crowd shouting.) ("OK" option: some other way of getting icons to look more Zen.) Icon packs for launchers are that "OK option", browsing tons on Google Play left Hexacon and Dual Shadow. So Hexacon.
Remove the Google Now bar from my Home Screen (without disabling any services). (As in, I taught the device my voice, so I don't need it there for me to tap. Tried: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-remove-the-google-search-bar-from-your-android-homescreen - it's not long-tappable nor draggable, nor does it appear under Google Apps in Widgets.) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
I'd like to be able to do this:
Some quick way (preferably swipe) to access a more compact Quick Settings widget, like on my Xperia Z. I've reduced it to 9, can't remove "Invert Colors" and Location toggles.
Global Night Mode for everything in the System UI - to make it look similar to the Quick Settings. (This is a "like to" only because it's been promised in N. I really need it like, now. ) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
Basically I have the greatest phone, so I want it to look good at all times, and with the aim Clean, Fresh, Zen.
I posted here bc the forum was most specific. Feel free to refer or advise me how to best get answers as I joined tonight.
Any & all advice on single questions is appreciated Not possible is a valid answer, and I'm also prepared to wait for N if that's the answer.
I used to think of "ok google" as a novelty but its become more polished and if it remains reliable Ill continue to use it more& more. As it applies to keeping things clean it sort of does eliminate need for extra widgets.
If you have ok google everywhere u can just say " ok google...launch settings". Same goes for music apps, podcasts, youtube videos etc.
Started using a new app other day you might like called sesame edge. I set it on the right edge, virtually invisible and it brings up quick access to apps.

Thanks, trying it out. Also tried Sesame in the hope that it would let me set a different lock screen wallpaper, but it only had "their automatic lock screen wallpaper or off" as setting. I sent feedback to them, so let's see.

I dont use a lockscreen but on Pure Nexus which Im using now there is an option to set lockscreen wallpaper.
I use action launcher 3 which doesnt allow me to remove google bar (i dont think) but nova will let u do that. I like the bar cuz on action launcher i can put several shortcuts for whatever i want.
ASAP launcher is very minimal. Again you cant REMOVE the bar but swipe down and it turns into a simple clock widget.

Thx, tried Nova and it gives me Night Mode. Thanks for that Still, no way to have a different wallpaper on the lock screen than on the home screen, and I can find no Prime option for it either. Pure Nexus requires CM.
Can I mix and match this type of apps? Will they interfere with each other? Sesame seems to work with Nova at least.
What about Hi Locker? http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-back-lock-screen-customization-android-lollipop-0160204/
Can custom lock screens lock me out of my phone, make me butt dial, hog battery? I just want to change the gdmn background!
As I wrote, if some feature comes in N I'd rather wait than mess up my new phone.

Seems Im constantly tweaking things and having problems recalling exactly what I used. I know making lockscreen different from desktop is something Ive done many times. Do u have xposed? Pretty sure gravitybox has that option.
As far as butt dials, I use sweep to wake & it was a problem. Always remember to put it in your pocket screen facing out. I also need to do that when using bt headphones or else i get distortion. Anyways if i find something relevant Ill let u know.
Thx for suggestions!
I want weather, clock, and a background that matches my high-end case on the lock screen AND NOTHING ELSE, and then wherever there are icons I want a neutral background or just a color so I can see them properly. I think that's being a normal user with sensible demands.
Right now a huge dark gray or white slate COVERS the background anyway. I don't mind it, it lets me see the icons of all manner of variety and quality against something neutral, still... just allowing a background to set behind your icons seems to be an easy addition... since Froyo... Anyway, end rant about Simple Things. Android at least lets you customize them.
I'm battling notifications now. Light Manager is recommended for the 6P - testing it out now for notifications that are actually important, will report.
I have literally no idea what Xiaomi was thinking when they had this setting off by default.
Open settings
Navigate to additional settings
Open the buttons tab
Turn ON the first option in the list, "Screen buttons can hide"
This also allows for the homescreen wallpaper to actually take up the entire screen. With regards to app compatibility, I'm surprised that nearly everything supports 17:9 perfectly.
**To clarify: this tweak allows the Mi Mix to render applications/games in its' full 2040x1080 (17:9) resolution. Before this tweak is applied, all apps are rendered in 16:9; the area in which the on screen buttons are present will always be wasted screen real estate. Obviously, this setting doesn't magically adapt content that was natively created for 16:9 (IE Youtube videos) and adapt them to fit the entire screen.
Your title is really misleading. For starters, when you recieve the mix one of the first screens that pops up is exactly this option. Second, even if you hide the Navigation buttons in apps like youtube, you'll still have black bars since youtube doesn't support the 17:9 aspect ratio. I think this thread is good for people that skipped trough this setting or didn't know about it, but i think you should change the title.

There was a prompt to turn on this setting upon factory reset? I never saw this. As to your second point, my title doesn't say display media content made for 16:9 on 17:9, just run the apps (UI).
This method doesn't give you full 17:9, but it is very easy to do and it's good enough for some, as OP stated, you just need to go to setting and set it. But since Nav bar is basically still there and it's just hidden after you swipe it down, some content could still be in 16:9. To really get your phone to show everything that's possible for 17:9, you should use the Xposed method to remove the Nav bar completely, this way you get the full 17:9 experience. As an example, third party launcher like Nova launcher would not be in 17:9 if you use the OP method, but with Xposed, you can use the Nav Bar space for whatever you want.

Which module you have used to hide the navbar?
Tested xMiui, well the navbar is hidden, but the space it leaves is still not usable. A build.prop edit works better fof me. Now the space is usable by TSF launcher and all other apps. I'm using LMT pie instead.
build.prop change
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
to
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
You could keep a backup to revert the change with TWRP filemanager if needed.

I just use xMIUI and the space are totally usable after reboot. Meaning icons, widgets docks can be all the way down at the bottom of screen where the usual nav bar was.

How is swiping down and hiding the nav bar not running apps in 17:9? Games prior to this setting would render in 1080p with black bars, after this setting they render the entire screen (and the nav bar is transparent). What you're saying literally makes no sense. I've been using Nova launcher and I just tested swiping down on the home screen and the nav bar fully disappears and the dock icons move down right where the nav bar was. They DO move down all the way to the bottom of the screen. I guess if you want to fully remove the nav bar or use the space for "whatever you want" via exposed, one can go that route, but I don't see why anyone would want to remove it. How they hell are you gonna get to your home screen, go back, or view multitasking?
Indeed, if you really want to use the full screen, you need to remove the nav bar not hiding it. Since you are using nova launcher so I will use that as an example. If you have a news widget setup to display in 16:9, when you hide the nav bar by sliding down, the widget stays in 16:9 leaving the bottom space empty.
This is just one of the many examples where content won't automatically convert to 17:9 if you hide nav bar on real time. Besides it has been reported that some of the graphic glitch or system slowness are due to the nav bar hiding and appearing.
The solution I went with is to remove nav bar completely, so everything are shown in 17:9 natively, no switching between 16:9 and 17:9 causing the system to do extra work and have chance to misbehave. I haven't personally run the hiding nav bar method for too long as I knew quite early that's not gonna be good enough for me so I can't really comment more on the stability of it.
As of control, there are many method you can choose, simple control allow you to have exactly the same function as normal nav bar but all would run in 17:9 and it can automatically hide nav bar after some interval. Simple pie brings out overlay for nav control, I am running floating menu which is completely invisible. No overlay and is just a quick swipe to perform your usual back, home recent actions. In a lot of cases, it's faster than bringing up nav bar and click on what you want then swipe down to hide. With floating menu, it's just a single swipe.
Anyway, I am not saying anything that is best, you see what you like and that's best for you. I go with my method because it's the cleanest and has no overlay at all. Going xposed is super easy for me as I am very familiar with it.
Some would find it hard to do, some would not want to do it, some just like to hide and bring up nav bar then rehide it afterwards. Hell, some even like to use the quick ball instead. Try them all and you will see what's best for you.

Ahhh very thorough response. Thanks for clarifying as you did bring up some good points.
I've disabled navbar with builp.prop edit now. As pie i'm using gravitybox, the only one i've found working in any possible situation! LMT, unique controls etc., these are all requesting overlay permission, means these are not working like a real xposed code swap would work. The problem with implementations like LMT, etc. is, it fails if you're using apps like paypal, that desktivate all overlay apps in start. That means, open paypal, pie dead, no navigation possible. For me unusable. The only working real replacement is gravitybox. If anybody knows another, nicer desugned one....

I am running floating menu with PayPal, non-issue at all. Liked i mentioned many times already, if you want the cleanest way to maximise everything in 17:9, you won't get anything better than this. It has no overlay and you don't see anything at all. (or if you want, a bit of overlay to help you click and swipe). Otherwise it's totally invisible.
If you want more functions like app shortcut and so on, simple pie would be better.

Same with gravitybox pie, you see nothing until you swipe up from bottom left, right. Anyway i'll have a look to floating menu, too.
Gesendet von meinem Xiaomi Mi MIX
Difference is with pie, you see the overlay when you swipe up then you need to locate the icon then let go. So ya there is still overlay and it takes a tiny more effort.
With floating menu, you swipe up then that's it. You don't locate and you don't see anything at all, hence it's totally clean. I truly believe it doesn't get any simpler than this.

It's under HW keys, and scroll all the way down to nav bar and set it to hide.
You can download simple control from App Store. Same developer that created simple pie.
This is my personal preference: Float menu > simple control > simple pie

After testing :
Apps now run 17:9 natively.
One issue: simple control get killed by system memory cleaner using the recent button while clearing all task. Will need to wait for about 20s for simple control to work again.

One more argument to use gravitybox pie feature. It is not killed by systems taskmanager! And well, there's only an overlay if you trigger the pie.

White list it and you won't have this problem. At least not with floating menu, mine is not getting killed even if I press X to clear all.
There is also the exposed method if you really can't get it to work

One thing I like about simple control over the rest is that I can set a delay before it disappears. I can do operation like double back easily to exit some app which require it. The app is also more simple and elegant to use compare to floating menu.
@wu5262 how do I use the exposed methods?
So I used GMD in the play store to disable the navigation bar on my S8+ to further enjoy the infinity screen but now I have a gap at the bottom of my dock where it used to be. (See image) I am using nova prime as my launcher. Anyway to get rid of this gap?
try setting Nova launcher as Full screen in phone Settings > Display > Fullscreen apps
Thanks for the suggestion but didn't work.
Android is still trying to take into account the navbar even if it isn't there. I'd image it some systemUI app setting or something else within the OS.
I have mine setup to be immersive all the time and all launchers I've tried act the same. Not much of an issue for me.

Best to use the manual ADB way. No gaps
Use Shortcutter, which has an Immersive Mode switch that goes in the quick settings.
Then enable it to write settings via adb command:
Code:
adb shell pm grant com.leedroid.shortcutter android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Then, in the Configure Services/Tiles tab, in the Immersive Mode section, select "Show Mode Selector". This makes it so every time you select Immersive Mode, it will allow you to pick between hiding nav bar only, hiding status bar only, or hiding both. The benefit of using Shortcutter is that you get that switch in quick settings, so you can switch between having both bars, either one, or neither at any time (such as when you hand the phone to a friend and they can't figure out how to use the phone ).
Personally, I select to hide both, and use a notifications widget on my desktop to look at notifications, and enjoy a huuuge display for everything I want to read or chat.
Examples:
desktop - notifications go in the blank space in the middle
