True Immersive Mode w/ Notch - Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods

True Immersive Mode w/ Notch - Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hello Everyone,...I am asking anyone out there if they have a true immersive mode without losing the notch. I tried the ADB versions that were used in the Pixel XL and the Pixel 2 XL. It makes the notch disappear. If you have a command for True Immersive Mode via ADB? Thanks for you for checking or even trying.

It would be nice if we could get this on a per app basis and in portrait mode. I have been looking, and cant find anything.

Same here. You suggestions are great. Hopefully someone can pitch in or try.

bump on this.
Double Bump and a beer for a no root per app solution.

Only way i've come across for this is "notchbarkiller" from the magisk repo. It takes immersive mode apps and makes them ignore the fact that a notch exists so they fill the space.

Did this work for you?
It's not working for me, but I found the github page for it and it sounds like it could be modified to work. I don't have to expertise to do that though.

If you are rooted and don't mind installing a rom, the AOSiP rom allow you to do a true immersive mode. It looks pretty awesome.
It's in Display --> Display cutout --> Tall Cutout.
You will need an immersive mode app, or do an immersive mode command to allow for the keyboard to work.

Use the xda navigation gestures app with adb permission to hide navbar and make pill transparent. No root required.

Get it to work! I used the XDA Navigation Gesture app.
UPDATE: I used the app and ADB command, just like it was mentioned on this thread. It worked. Thank you so much for the heads up. I am not rooted. It works great on everything system wide.

I prefer Fluid Navigation Bar myself. looks cooler, has forced rotation mode and can swipe from sides, not just the bottom: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid&hl=en_US

So you can keep the notch??? Does it have an option to loose the notch in landscape mode?

You only need system ui tuner app from play to accomplish this

I just wish both navigation gestures and fluid navigation was more friendlier on the battery. It kills my battery twice as fast with my usage.

I ran fluid nav consistently on my OG pixel XL, and I've ran it on my 3xl since shortly after I got it. I haven't noticed any drain on either device. However, I'm switching up and will be using lmt for navigation instead of fluid ng.

18:9 immersive mode/gesture controls/no root

DISCLAIMER: This guide was NOT made by me, I'm simply sharing this here because it's really useful IMO.
This is a guide made by reddit user turkcem421, on how to take advantage of this beautiful 18:9 aka 2:1 display.
Here's the link https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg6/comments/7bqy5r/guide_fullscreen_immersive_mode_with_gesture/
And some screenshots...

Very interesting, thank you. I was also looking for a way to do this after playing with a friend's iPhone X and realizing how outdated a navigation bar now feels.
I was on a different path. Instead of enabling immersive mode, my goal is to disable the soft keys entirely. This requires editing build.prop, which requires root, which I can't get on my H870DS. However it seems to be possible to edit it with adb as well, was going to try that next.
EDIT: file system is read-only, doesn't work with adb.
Also, there's an app called Pie Control that can provide gesture navigation controls and is very elegant IMHO. My goal is to use that as a replacement for soft keys.

Hi crabnebula,
Author of the reddit guide here. I actually tried the adb build.prop approach also! It was pretty tough to write it to the system successfully (as you noticed, there are a lot of weird things on the backend of the LG G6 compared to the Nexus phones that I am used to) but eventually I did manage to write it and chmod it by combining a lot of tricks I learned hereHowever it did not have any effect, i.e. the LG G6 ROM does not seem to care about what that line of build.prop says and just shows the buttons anyway. After that failure I ended up figuring out the solution that I put in the guide.
Pie controls looks nice too, I was considering it. There are two things I like about all-in-one gestures though that to my knowledge are not in the others (but I have not checked thoroughly)
1) all in one gestures includes both gesture controls and immersive mode in the same app, and the immersive mode also has a built-in fix to let the keyboard work (see my guide). I don't know another way to have immersive mode with a working keyboard, and it is also really handy that it's all one app, i.e. if for any reason the app crashes or is stopped then the nav bars also come back when the gesture controls stop working.
2) there is an 'alt-tab' functionality, comparable to double tapping on multitasking button. Very handy to do this with a single swipe. I didn't see any other apps that had this (but maybe I did not look hard enough)
 @yilun thanks for posting the guide here!

Thank you! The UI looks so much better without the nav-bar and status bar there to interfere. ^^

Thank you for the reddit guide and the further information. I really appreciate that you took the time to share!
Guess I'll give up on the build.prop setting.
After playing with AIO Gestures a little more, I have to agree with you. The combination of features makes it more useful and I actually prefer the way it works when using both the bottom edge and corners to replace the 3 usual soft keys, instead of a pie menu.
The only issue I have is that the phone seems to drop out of immersive mode when returning to the launcher and certain apps, but it's a minor nuisance.
I'm hoping that in a next version of Android and/or in future OEM updates, they are going to introduce native gesture-based navigation, at least as an option. In the meantime, it's great to have an alternative that works without root. Thanks again!

I'm using something like this since 3 weeks. What I've did to get the immersive screen was all in adb code. What is causing the battery drain is Google apps that won't support 18:9 mode so you have to exclude them from immersive. You can still use youtube modded APK (18:9 support) and Chrome beta to get full screen.
The adb code is
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.android.chrome,-com.android.vending,-com.google.android.gm,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
I use aiog too.

You mean revert the whole process?
You can do it one by one manually, but I'd recommend just making a backup and factory resetting.
The other way is extremely time consuming and not very practical at all.

I have set it up correctly but have a few questions. Is op possible to disable the navbar completely everytime i swipe up to go home from the buttom. The navbar shows up and is in the way. And is it possible to disable the white glow on the screen from the all in one gestures app?

To disable glow go to "personalization" > "edge preference" and set "opacity" to 0%.

So if you force immersive this way, you still need to use AIOG with the special settings applied through adb in order for the keyboard to function in immersive mode, or do you only use AIOG for the actual gestures?

Just for gestures. There is no need of touching any setting for immersive on AIOG.

Can't believe how simple that all was. Only thing I couldn't do was the SVC for ls993. Literally no one has it, spend 25 min looking and 5 minutes going through the tutorial.
Only issue I know is that some apps have a very small black sliver on the bottom, is this due to not forcing long display through the SVC? Does anyone know the SVC for ls993???
Either way, the rest works 1000x better than I expected and the battery drain solutions are terrific.
Home screen looks super good too

Gestures instead of navigation bar on OP5T

Hi.
Got my OP5T 4 days back..
Does anyone in the forum know if we can use only gestures instead of virtual navigation buttons like iPhone x..coz I hate how it consumes space at the bottom..
Previously I was using all in one gestures to control my volume in OP3.
Thanks,
Shyam
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

I would love if it had the same gestures as the iPhone X.

All in one gesture, and if u go down to the themes and apps portion of this forum there is a post that shows u how to hide the navigation bar

Dunno if this is what you're looking for, but on my previous device I used the app "J Touch" from the Play Store as my navbar replacement+. Haven't got my 5T yet, but i intend to load it up immediately as I, too, dislike losing that precious real estate.

Using All In One Gesture and disabled the nav bar using Substratum's Navbar Height Changer theme (requires root).
Works like a charm. No more hitting the home button when missing the keyboard space bar!

I'm doing the same but it breaks the power menu I've found. It does a soft reset instead of bringing up my reboot options. At least I think that's what's happened.

In 'navigation bar tweaks' turn on the master switch and then turn 'enable navigation bar' off.

and swipe navigation https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation&hl=en

You can also bind navigation actions like back, home, recent to an edge menu like Swiftly Switch. (no root or xposed required) Though you do have to enable permissions like drawing over other applications.

All of these solutions seem kinda messy and require rooting. Is there no clean way to do this without modding my phone?

Hide the nav bar/pill button completely?

Can anyone confirm if you use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar that you can keep the gestures but remove the nav bar etc completely?

Download a app called Pie Controls off the app store. I have been using it on my Pixel 2XL since I bought it and will be one of the many apps that will be installed first when I get home to do some work.

You can always try,
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
Don't forget to exclude gapps
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.android.chrome,-com.android.vending,-com.google.android.gm,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

The app is called "One Plus Gestures" They are similar to what is on One Plus phones but fully customization. It has a companion app that hides navigation without root.

I have a OP6 and love the gestures so if this hides the nav bar it's a no brainer for me, don't suppose you could post a screenshot showing how it looks?

I am wondering if this is a way to bring back to old style nav bars? Used to be able to add the line to the build prop then reboot and bam they were there. Dont understand why Google let you adjust the notch but not the navbar? It was pretty simple leave the line of code in that allows you to swap.

also curious if you can remove the pill completely in favor of swipe gestures, oneplus gestures are great, but would be better if the pixel 3xl supports this natively, if not, how can we hide the pill?

I would say that you are correct. I was comparing my 3 XL to my friends 2 yesterday and while both have Pie installed only he had that option to get the old navigation buttons back.
I really dislike these gestures, if anyone has run across an app or a setting to get the old three button navigation bar back please let me know. I haven't found much in my searching.

can we bring up the old nav bar yet ?
not a fan of gestures

I'm going to go against the grain: I think I *like* the new gestures instead of nav bar. I will admit I would significantly prefer a hardware home button, but in lieu of that, the gestures are fine. I've switched my 2 XL, for example, over to the new gesture system. To each their own -- if you don't like it, you just don't like it. But I would suggest trying it for a week or two.

From reviews I've heard the P3 has the option to bring back the old nav bar and the 3XL doesn't. Weird. I should be getting both of them in a few hours so i'll check out the difference.

Nav bar hide & Gesture Navigation app

I know that there are plenty of "swipe gesture navigation" type of apps out there.
Some of the most prominent being XDA's Navigation Gestures, OnePlus Gestures, Sideswipe, etc.
However, I was pointed towards this one (unreleased, in the App Store): "Fluid N.G." https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
I have nothing to do with creating this and am not trying to get any credit or anything; I just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention because it is the most fluid navigation system I have seen with a 3rd party app. I believe one of the OEM's implementation is a lot like this, but I forget which.
It's simple and might not be as powerful as others, but I really like it!

I'm using this too! Great app!

how do we hide the navigation bar?

It's an option in this app, must hook up to PC and do the ADB command to grant secure settings

Appears to be essentially the same thing as OnePlus gestures which have a few more options and significantly more customization. However that may be it's a good find, thanks.

Yeah, it doesn't really offer more features than other stuff - however you have to actually use it to understand whats impressive. It's just... really "fluid" (hence the name, I suppose) and feels like a real phone feature instead of a hack.
Regardless, I have no vested interest in it - just wanted more people to know about it so the dev gets credit and/or money and can support it

I'm not invested in either myself. The OnePlus gestures feels just like the real OnePlus gestures, not a hack. I do think I get what you mean by hack because I've used several gestures schemes from exposed and so on and never real found one that was factory in feel. I figured that was why the OnePlus gestures didn't suck, it appears that they straight up kanged the real OnePlus gestures because the experience is indistinguishable. However it may be as long as folks get the joy of getting away from the horrid stock gestures it's all good.

If you are rooted then after activating your replacement navigation app, just add this to /system/build.prop
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
and reboot. The stock nav bar will be totally gone.

So i was trying the xda gestures app and it was meh, but the app in the OP is pretty smooth and simple, straight to the point.
hate the idea that i have to install a 3rd party app to do what my OP6 was doing out of box :\

So here's a interesting situation , using the app in the OP and hiding the navbar from the app, still produces a blindingly white navbar during phone calls. if i edit the build.prop as you suggest would it remove that completely?

Absolutely

I cant figure out how the stock gestures/recents/drawer passed muster. You know they were comparing their work to what everyone else did, Android, Apple, even the mod community where they get a lot of their "inspiration". I don't see any way I'm the executive making the go decision on the mess we were delivered. I do see myself having the person who put the idea on my desk escorted from the building by a couple big goons who were instructed to hit his head on every object between his or her office and the curb on the way out.

OnePlus Gestures app is the best

This is gold. I really enjoy the nav options and being able to hide the bar.

Coming from a OnePlus 6, I actually really like the solution in the OP of this thread better. It's more fluid than the stock gesture navigation on the OnePlus 6 and I love the little bubble that pops up when you perform swipe actions.
Great find OP! Thanks for sharing.
Also, for those having issues hiding the nav bar, make sure you have ADB properly setup on your PC and phone. Then plug your phone in your computer and use your preferred command prompt app to run the following command exactly as it is below:
adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Or, if you're rooted, follow lollyjay's instructions in post #11:

If you are rooted then after activating your replacement navigation app, just add this to /system/build.prop
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
and reboot. The stock nav bar will be totally gone.

NOTE: If you don't have ADB setup or don't know how, don't flood this thread with requests on how to do it. There are already plenty of instructions for you to reference to get this done. Here's a good one to follow:

Pretty great find, I like that it not obtrusive so doesn't take away from the full screen experience

by the way, i had to change the value back to 0 on that line that i added because my google board and any other app was extended beyond the bottom of the screen. Weird.
Anyone else?
