[Q] Immersive Mode - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to enable immersive mode?

If you use Nova Prime you can set it up to always hide the status bar.
I don't believe TW does it on its own.

Hmm. I prefer GNL. I tried getting the Xposed GELs working unsuccessfully. Maybe I will try NP.

anyone know how to get immersive mode to work correctly on Samsung galaxy note 4? currently, i tried using an app and using nova launcher, it hides the icons when using Waze, but there is still an empty black space where the icons were and won't go into full-screen mode?

What status (notification) bar do you use?

I'm currently using Omega StatusBar but it's buggy at best. After enabling in accessibility settings I find that the counters are frequently incorrect, apps stick around after clearing notifications, and ongoing notifications don't play very nice.
Anyone using a statusbar with more success? Which one?
I'm looking for any which display icons for notifications rather than the vague circle with a number within it as present in the stock os. It's good to see what's going on at a glance without swiping down.

+1 want to know the best bar too xD
I wasn't even able to get Omega StatusBar to display notifications on my 8.9" HD. As soon as I turned on the "accessibility" option necessary for it to intercept notifications, I got a force close.
I've tried a couple of other status bar replacements from the Play store with the same results -- all fail turning accessibility on. I've seen reports of other 8.9" users having the same problem.
I would certainly like to hear of a working status bar that doesn't have this problem.
The stock status bar works.

You have to go to the Kindle's settings -> accessibility -> then turn on the option for Omega Statusbar accessibility.
From there you can turn on the accessibility within Omega's app. It might force close but it will work.
At that point when you open the Omega app you will want to hit the button on the top-right-most of the screen. It turns on the status bar. You should instantly see the statusbar pop up.
It doesn't always clear notifications though. I guess this is an android limitation with what gets sent to the accessibility api.
Hope that works for you.

Oh and if you're stock or stock rooted and you don't have accessibility settings within the Kindle's settings menu use KFHD Extended Settings to access it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124384

Thanks, I got it working. It wasn't worth it, though. Wasn't much of a functional improvement, didn't look that much better, and the old status bar would show up in flashes now and then.
Maybe the stock toolbar isn't that bad...

Yeah.. And even moving to /system/app doesn't make a difference unfortunately. At least when the stock toolbar says 10 notifications, its really 10 notifications. I'm confident some ROM will get something stable going though, just a matter of time.

Is there a way to change the icons that show in the status bar without having to switch to an entire other status bar? I'm referring to the parental controls, wifi and battery icons that appear in the top right corner. I'd like to customize those. Possible?

Best/Safest way to hide navbar?

This is my first android with soft buttons, and coming from the DNA's 5" screen I would like to hide the navbar to get more screen space during games. I have root, and I tried GMD auto hide but when I hid the bar the phone just kept crashing. I just downloaded ultimate dynamic navbar and it says the safe way is to get XPOSED and install a module. Where do I find XPOSED? I had a MotoXposed but it didn't have the hid navbar option (and I couldn't get any of the other options to stick anyways) So is anyone out there using an app to hide the navbar on their Moto x? Thanks!

Nova launcher will do what I believe your asking.

I looked around in the Nova launcher settings and didn't see anything about the navbar, maybe i missed it?
Thanks for your help

MotoXposed (as well as the option you are talking about in UDN) require the Xposed Framework to be installed. You download Xposed Installer, install the Framework with that app, and then activate the desired modules within that app.
Go nova settings/look and feel/ un check show nav bar.
The option in nova is notification bar! I tried the usual methods. But get system ui errors. Build prop edit will get rid of it, but that's for good.

Yeah, I don't want to get rid of it, just hide it when I don't need it

To do this with Nova Launcher purchase version will be needed. Go to Nova Settings/ Gestures and Buttons/ then pick a gester like swipe down/ Toggle Notification bar. You would have to toggle the Notification bar before opening the app.
I hope this helps.
You can always just hide it using that build.prop edit then use pie launcher (lmt launcher) to be your nav bar

This app will help you hide the navbar, and replace it with Pie gestures when you swipe from the sides of the screen. there's lots of customization that comes with it as well. Have fun!

This app can hide the navbar indeed, but it hide the notification bar and disabled the recent apps interface as well..... Cannot separate these two things......

[Q] Immersive Nav Bar?

Tried GravityBox and Immerse Me Xposed modules, with no luck. Has anyone had luck yet with immersive mode? I usually just use it on the nav bar to give a little extra screen space.
I've never had a major issue using GravityBox to get Immersive Mode going in most apps, but on apps that I have had a problem forcing it, I've used the Xposed module called "App Settings": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437377

Thanks. I did run across that module, too. I'm looking for a way to get the immersive nav bar systemwide, including on the home screen. It's my normal setup, but doesn't seem to work on the X 2014.
Interesting... Only used GB for immersive successfully on my S4.

Used it on the S4 and N5. :good:
I am using the Force Immersive Mode 2.1.1 module that is listed in the Download section of the Xposed Installer app and have not had any problems.

Transparent status bar.

Can I set it transparent without root? I had it on 5.1.1 but is gone after latest update to MM. Quite often I use power saving mode and grey status bar drives me crazy. It probably doesnt save power anyway.

Yes, that grey bar on top is super annoying. Here's to hoping someone knows how to do it
The grey bar drives me a little crazy too. I was so used to the transparent one. My phone pretty much stays in Power Saving mode so if there's no workaround for it then I'll just have to deal.
Yeah gray bar is stupid.

What apps does this even show up? The only one I have seen it happen is the stock internet app which caused me to start using Chrome.
Use Nova Prime.

Turn off your " Power Saver " is the only way without root.

Screen Recording Without a Navbar

So I turned off my Galaxy Note 8's navbar, doing so I lost the ability to screen record games from the navbar. Is there anyway I can get this feature back without the Navbar? Thanks in advance. (More specifically I'm talking about Game Tools)
I'm using game launcher on mine and my nav bar stays hidden. But the record function is there whenever I have a game open just have to swipe up from the bottom..

I'm using the Tigerhoods overlay which disables the navbar, I can't swipe up or anything. I know what your talking about but I sadly can't do that since I don't have the navbar anymore.

You can't remove the overlay to get it back? Only thing I'm using on mine is substratum to theme what I need to.

I have bxactions installed and for some reason it messes with the navigation bar on my phone. That's why I can't reinstall the navigation bar. It doesn't work well with bxactions.
