Tip: Turn off annoying "Power Management Tips" notifications

Step 1: Enable Stamina mode and Low battery mode.,
Step 2: Set both of them to only activate when battery level is below 1%
Step 3: Don't let your battery level drop below 1%
That should take care of those 2 notifications. If anyone has figured out how to get rid of all the other annoying Sony notifications, please post.

There is another way to stop it
If these stamina notification fade in you can use two fingers on this notification and pull it down...
there is a checkbox you can deselect to hide these upcoming notifications

Like every notification on Android, you go in the Application menu, you search for the app concerned and uncheck "show notifications"

Have you actually tried this? Which application is responsible for the power management tips notifications? Post a screenshot.

I thought every app having the permission to post a notification was in the app listing with the possibility to disable the notifications. Eco mode Control have his checkbox greyed out.
Apparently, the "real" apps involved are “SemcPowerSaveModule.apk , Settings.apk and SuperStamina.apk” and I don't see them in the app list so forget my quote :silly:

OK: Interesting bit of knowledge, which in this case doesn't help much, but might still be nice to know:
If you don't see an app in the listing or if it's checkbox is greyed out, use this:
Code:
adb shell
pm hide com.package.name
to reverse it, replace "hide" with "unhide".
This hides the app from the system, including in the drawer. It is similar to "disabling" system apps. Not recomended for things you actually use, e.g. com.android.settings or com.sonymobile.superstamina. They will not work afterwards. It works very well with the annoying "low storage" notification though. Package name is com.sonymobile.storagechecker. Just try it out, you can always unhide, and the changes are instantaneous.
ADB is great.
You can for example find packages by
Code:
adb shell
pm list packages searchterm
so for example
Code:
pm list packages settings
produces a list of all packages with "settings" in the name.
Code:
pm list packages -s settings
shows only system apps with "settings" in the name.
If you want to play around in ADB by yourself, use a questionmark after a command to see all the avaliable options for this command. The two basic commands are am (activity manager) and pm (package manager)
Code:
adb shell pm ?

I usually do this with all my xperia phones using gmd auto hide soft keys app and the gmd gesture controls.
But I need root for these two do you know of any other gesture apps that don't require root?

Here you have some other options for immersive mode:
· Status Bar: adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
· Navigation Bar: adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
· Both Bars: adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
· Back to normal: adb shell settings put global policy_control null*

thnx for this mod!!! Would it be possible to remove the bars permanenty, so when i swipe from bottom, the navi bar doesnt appear?

I'm use this app, no root and able to long press power button to show the option of immersive mode
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures
But it got the common problem that can't show the keyboard, and it's able to fixed by following command
adb shell pm grant com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS; pm grant com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures android.permission.SET_ANIMATION_SCALE

Awesome! I have been looking for a similar solution for years now. I really appreciate you sharing that with everyone.
By chance, is it possible to make only say one app non-immersive or possibly only have the home screen with a status bar and all of the other apps hidden?

I tried running the command with the GMD immersive app and got this error: "adb shell pm grant com.gmd.immersive android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS; pm grant com.gmd.immersive android.permission.SET_ANIMATION_SCALE
Operation not allowed: java.lang.SecurityException: Package com.gmd.immersive has not requested permission android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

-0,--off targets Power off targets
-c,--cycle targets Power cycle targets
-q,--query-all Query power state of all targets
-Q,--query targets Query power state of specific targets"
Do you have any idea how to fix it? I'm basically just trying to get it to work to allow the home screen only to have an immersive status bar and have all of the other apps immersive. If you know a command that could do that I wouldn't need GMD at all anyway.
Thank you all for all of this valuable info!

I know this thread is 1 year old but I was wondering are there any other cool commands like immersive mode?

An app named Floating Menu, similar to Pie control, but is in Chinese language only. I can use it for back/home/menu/lock screen/capture screen.
And nova launcher gestures for quick settings and notifications.

Hiding the home button on the LG G6

You were able to hide the home touch button at the bottom in apps on previous versions but not this one...plz tell me there is a way or if the option changed...the only reason I changed to this phone is because I thought I could hide the home touch button...
the screen looks like a damn iphone now...so small, I'm coming from a note 5 and this looks horrible.
I had a v20 but returned it and got this instead, now I regret it.

You can install Nova Launcher. There you can hide everything, except the navigation keys.

well if you mean by the navigation keys these: ▲ ◼ ⏺ buttons at the bottom then it defeats the purpose if it cant hide them with nova
Like I said in other versions of LG you could hide these in the apps you want, you would just scroll up from the bottom of the screen to have them show up.
Unless what you meant is that it doesnt hide them once only its on the home screen.

The navigation keys do not have an option to be hidden with certain apps like you could do with other phones. Not sure why they removed that functionality, maybe it will be put back in with future updates.

Much of the time that they aren't hidden, it's because the app you're using is in 16:9 mode. Go into the adaptive display settings and switch it to 18:9.

No, no matter what ratio mode I use, the navigation touch buttons cannot be hidden unless you go full screen on youtube or the camera, any other app you use the navigation is always there, besides, its a known option that existed before in the home touch button option menu but now its removed in the LG G6.

what hes talkin about doesnt exist on the lg g6... The only menu or what he probably meant to say is under display options then app scalling, it does not hide the navigation buttons.

Would it be possible to hide them through ADB?

Theres no longer an option to hide home touch buttons per app..

You can do this with adb and chose wich app you want to hide the navigation buttons for, i was missing this on my s8 cause i had a g5 before. Look for immersive mode in the s8 section you should find it

Just an exemple; but full immersive mode remove the nav buttons AND the notification bar, but you can replace full immersive with something else to hide the nav bar only.

This was in the Nexus 6P forum a while ago.
You need to have ADB on your computer:
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*

is this working on H870DS ?

System ui crash with build prop edit

Just got my essential phone today. Rooted and did my normal phone setup which includes gmd gesture control. Everything was fine until I did a build prop edit I do on all my other phones adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1" to the end to disable the navigation buttons. Every time I reboot, I get a system ui force close 2 or 3 time then everything seems normal. I'm not sure how to find the log file. If anyone knows what's causing this or might be able to send me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. Btw, loving this phone so far. Coming from the nexus 6 which is still awesome as well ?

All I know is because of the a/b partition, any change made to a system file, even if you just add a file and then remove it, will result in flagging the safety net. I didn't have any issues with my phone not passing safety net (still running stock Nougat, rooted with Magisk, Xposed, and substratum themes), but that's gotta have something to do with it. Did u get it figured out?

Doing the build.prop edit to remove the navigation keys is the problem. The PH-1 does not like this for some reason. I have been trying to find a way to remove them and use LMT for navigation.

Did you figure out a way? I used to use gmd auto hide but it doesn't seem like it works right since android 7. That and my ocd doesn't even like seeing them momentarily on a reboot ?
Edit: Overlooked the above reply. I'll give that a try tonight. Thanks

Will this keep it in immersive mode through reboots? And by excluding gapps, will that cause it to pop up when using those apps? I've never had an issue with the build prop edit until now. And I'm hoping when a good custom Rom comes out, I'll be good to go again.

This thread why I'm not ready for Oreo. Gravitybox is working great on stock Nougat. Long press Power for expanded desktop mode.
