status bar hidden - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

I have Oneplus 5 and latest OOS OB5
Today i noticed that status bar gets automatically hidden and can be enabled only with swiping down.
I had Nova launcher installed, but in settings status bar is enabled like it has always been.
Just to make sure i cleaned Nova Launcher`s data and cache and disabled launcher.
But still status bar gets hidden and i have tried to find setting to get is back without success.
ps. As my phone is rooted i tried already dirty flash latest Beta OS and cleaned caches from recovery
If anyone is able to help that is greatly appreciated because I have no idea what can cause this or what should be done.

I don't use OOS but it sounds like a setting for expanded desktop is enabled. Search the settings for expanded desktop and if it's on disable it.

I have search immersive and expanded desktop, but unfortunately there is no such settings.
Also even if I enable navigation bar from settings they wont show up

I was able to bring status bar back with adb command
"adb shell settings put global policy_control null"
But still I don't have no idea how it got hidden

Turn on expanded desktop, also the menu item is a bug and will be fixed
Sent from my Jelly Nexus 4
OP, it is not necessary to turn on expanded desktop, though that will work. If you would like to keep your status bar, simply set the DPI of your nav bar to 0.
Basically, when there is no nav bar, Pie will appear. However you choose to make that happen is up to you.

How to Access System UI Tuner in EMUI 5.0! (no root)

By default you are unable to access the system UI tuner in emui. With this app (ALL CREDIT TO LEEDROID) you are able to add various shortcuts to your quick settings tiles. One of these is UI tuner, which will bring you to the settings unlike holding the settings cog.
Note that this method is sometimes rather buggy when getting to the menu, and it works best if your settings application is cleared from recent apps.
Just download the app, hit edit in your quick settings, drag the UI tuner to your quick settings and you're set to go.
Don't give up if it won't work on the first press! Clear your recent apps and give it another shot.
App link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leedroid.shortcutter
I discovered this a while back on the Mate 9, but unfortunately most of the functions don't work so there's really no point to it.
I tested this, but if I'm right, not many of those new settings in System UI tuner work in Honor 8. I did not get Power notification controls to do anything new (no new settings appeared in app notification settings). Similarly turning on Do not disturb mode shortcut seemed to once flash the options in the volume popup, but after that... nothing. The only thing I managed to get to work was to remove icons from status bar.
Or did I do something wrong?

No, you did it correctly. Some of the settings may not work properly due to the EMUI skin. The issues you listed are probably why honor had it hidden in the first place. But there are still some useful settings in there.
There is simpler method to do that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm8PEYKrjrw
However SystemUI is very limited, nothing useful to do

Navigation Bar gone, now I have a gap

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

Block notification bar on lock screen?

I realized that, even if the Mi (in Oreo Stock Rom) is blocked, it allows you to display the notification bar and deactivate the mobile data or activate the airplane mode. Is there any way to change that?
I think that if the device is blocked, it should not be able to interact with the notification bar ...
I have not seen a solution. So, I open the thread to see if you can help me.
Thanks in advance!

It's possible to remove Quick Settings Tiles in lockscreen but you need root access to do that.
I'm using Tasker to set Quick Settings Tiles when device locked and reset it when device unlocked.
Example 1: shell command to get current Quick Settings Tiles
Code:
settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles
Example 2: shell command to set Quick Settings Tiles to Flashlight only
Code:
settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "flashlight"

I appreciate the contribution, mate
It's funny have to root the device to apply a basic security measure ...

Is there a way to hide the status bar by adb command?

Just like the title says I would like to hide the status bar by adb command. If anyone knows the command for it please post. The one for the 7pro doesn't work.

Figured I'd update this
I found somewhat of a solution. There's an app in the playstore called fullscreen mode tool with keyboard support. It's the only app that enables the immersive status bar where the keyboard won't cut into the input box. The only catch is when bringing up the keyboard the input box does a slight jump. To me this is better than burn in from status bar icons. My 8 pro has had the image retention issue with the status bar and I don't want it to lead to burn in which is why I'm going through all this trouble. Hopefully OnePlus can push an update with burn in protection built into oos cause as far as I know there is none.
Hey there, did you get this to work on a Oneplus 8? I just got one and have been trying a few different methods but my status bar persists.

If you want to prevent burn in by removing the status bar icons then just turn off all the toggles under status bar menu within settings. It's called icon manager.
Wouldn't immersive mode remove the status bar?

Where is it ?
I tried system ui tuner it didn't work surprise surprise. Then I ended up just ( thank God that option is made available stock ) going into settings and turning off each status bar icon , so now there's nothing there.

Immersive is broken on 11 for OP8 series devices. I've done some digging and they do something weird in the systemui and it persists the statusbar.
Nova launcher canhid it on home screenonly.
