Unable to access fullscreen - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

I just updated my Note+ to Android 10. Ever since the update, I'm unable to get the fullscreen. I have enabled fullscreen gestures but there's this persistent problem of space between the content and the bottom of the screen. The space is that of the traditional navigation buttons. When on Android 9, my fullscreen gestures would allow me to remove that space
I have tried turning the device on and off. I have disabled and re-enabled gestures. Even made use of the show button to hide keyboard

Do you have themes on your phone? Try removing them, that is what worked for me because I was running a Hexed theme on my note 10 and i reverted back to the default theme and now the phone runs in fullscreen mode

Hi,
You can try to disable gesture hint but then you won't be able to swipe between apps.

It's still possible to swipe between apps but it's more difficult because you don't have the line for orientation. You have to slide up very gently and then left or right.

Woo, thanks for the hint. ? Now I can finally get rid of the ugly white bar in some apps.

Does your navigation bar disappear and reappear when you turn Auto Hide setting On or Off ?
Or nothing happen and just trigger appear on screen?
I tried to switch auto-hide but it didn't changed something

Great findings ... Remove the red layer add an option for permanent remove of the soft keys, release it to the market and take my money...

Good start, layout problem on my Xperia z, so can't access recent apps. Needs to be able to call menu when needed and that would sort it, or margins adjusting,dectection a little hit & miss, looking forward to updates. Subscribed.

I'm developing app that allows to hide soft keys without modifying the system and without reboot. In only hides soft keys and leaves notification bar intact. After hiding soft keys I replace them similar auto hiding bar with Back, Home, Recent Apps and Menu buttons.
I have Nexus 7 and it is working very well on it. I attached first version to the thread. Please help me test it on more devices.
I have more ideas what features I can add, but first I want to make sure that technology works.
If you know friends with other devices that have soft buttons, please spread the word, I want to test it on as many devices with soft buttons as possible before release. I based app on ICS, but if needed I probably can reduce Android version too.
It does NOT modify system files. If something unplanned happens, just reboot your device and it will restore your stock navigation bar.
Unique Features:
* Hide soft keys on any rooted device (Phone UI only).
* Auto hiding navigation bar replacement - swipe trigger upwards to show it.
Differences to other status bar hiding apps:
* Does not remove notification bar
* Does not modify system
* No need to reboot
* Stock Notification panel and settings pannels are fully working
* Stock recent apps list is fully working
* No problems with receiving phone calls
Known problems:
* It does not detect Tablet UI and will try to remove navigation bar, but fail. I will add detection later.
* Sometimes resets wallpaper to default.
Version without detection does not try to determine if your phone has soft keys and simply try to hide them. If you tried normal version and navigation bar does not disappear even for short period, try version without detection.
DO NOT INSTALL IF YOUR DEVICE DOES NOT HAVE SOFT BUTTONS OR USE TABLET UI

Hi i have GMD Gesture control-pro , Will you add this mod in the future into your main app?
@StupidIdea
testet on Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 and it works fine.
Thanks for this. The Screens are from my Nexus 4 with my Rom and Hell(s) core b7!
I've voted 5 Stars
regards "D"
Thanks. Button alignment is minor issue. I'm still a bit confused with feedback. Navigation bar removal should be permanent until you turn Auto Hide off or reboot your device. So if you tested the app, please state:
1) Device
2) Is navigation bar removed and does not reappear
3) Navigation bar reappear when you turn Auto Hide off.
4) Any button alignment or trigger problems for status bar replacement.
I investigated how Android determines if menu button is needed and I have no access to this information. I can only display it always, but I will make it smaller.
Nexus 7 3Gwith MoDaCom ROM JR10. App works fine, NavBar hides and keeps hidden. Reappears after switching off autohide. I have a red stripe on th e bottom, assume the area for navbar activation. Does not look nice, transparent would be my choice, even better the whole bottom area, just a finger swipe upwards.
Issue: Interferes with fullscreen+, assume because both apps use a similar trigger for hiding. Even switching fullscreen off, not uninstall, brings it back for apps I have activated for fullscreen+, this means notification bar vanishes and I have the left/right corner buttons of fullscreen+ back.
Could be a replacement for fullscreen, think about adding a quicknavbar and you have me ... well done!

Hello i really love this app and Gesture Control app, one of the best apps ever. Here is my feedback:
1.- Nexus 4
2.- I removed the app and navigation bar didn't appear until i rebooted my phone.
3.- The navigation bar does reappear if you turn auto hide off ( sometimes it change my wallpaper).
4.-When i use LTM at the button, the buttons of navigation bar of the app doesn't work.
I have a question, Can you delete the red line and just by swiping it appear?
thanks in advance, good work man!
When application start, does not do anything. It's only hide bar when you turn auto hide on so your not able to hide navigation bar permanent...

I have some ideas what I want to add to final version but I will be glad to hear ideas too. Trigger is visible in this development version. Full version will have options to hide, resize and reposition it or turn off completely if you use other means for navigation like gestures or button savior. So far I'm glad the main thing works, but I still need to fix device type detection, so it does not try to hide navigation bar. I will post updates here.
Great work man..Yea it would be great if it uses auto hide just like how it hides in XPERIA Z when viewing images or videos.
I can't wait the final app... Will you implement this to your gestures control app?

[Q] Change location of Navigation Bar (Softbuttons) in Landscape mode?

I just bought the Nexus 7 2013, and coming from the original Galaxy Tab (2010) the absence of hardware buttons drives me crazy because of the Navigation Bar (I hope this is the right term for it) which I dont like.
Reasons:
- I press the buttons accidentally when using the keyboard
- It is a waste of vertical screen space when in landscape mode
So is there any way to put the navbar to the right in landscape mode (like on most phones)? Like some magic build.prop hack?
I am currently on cm11 official nightlies, but changing roms or patching the source myself if necessary is an option too.
Any hints?

Its not an ideal solution, bit you can use phab7 -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-phab7-v0-99-reboot-ui-switcher-t2545080
Chose phone ui, and it will put them on the right in landscape. I say its not ideal because it spread's the buttons out and causes the Google now ring to be off center. Unfortunately it doesn't support tablet ui (apparently google took it out in 4.4+), but phone ui, and split menus work on KitKat.
I personality use pie controls from gravity box, and force immersive on any apps I want fullscreen with Xutilites -
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.nagopy.android.xposed.utilities
So all my games/chrome/play magazines/etc. automatically go immersive, I hated having to switch it on and off all the time, so this worked for me. I also use gravity box to make the nav bar smaller, so when it is there it takes up less room. The nav bar will still pop up with the keyboard if you go this rout tho. You could disable it completely with gravity box, but you would have to really like pie controls for that lol. Gravity box -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v2-9-1-tweak-box-android-t2554049
These are all Xposed framework mods BTW, I am assuming you'd be comfortable with this since your running a custom ROM. I hate the lost pixels as well. Best of luck reclaiming the rest your screen
Thanks for the detailed reply :good:
I am very satisfied with the results with phab7.
Adding a 4th icon to the navigation bar was necessary to have them look centered again.
I am completely gapps free - so the google now problem does not apply to me

OnePlus 3 Open Beta 8 Multi Window

Hello,
I did a clean flash to oos 4.0 Open Beta 8 today via twrp with manual format to f2fs. So far everything works fine and smooth and batter drain seems to be good.
But I cant get Multiwindow to work. I can not swipe an App up in the task switcher or use the button, just does not work. I also do not see a drag here for Split View in the Task switcher. Do I have to enable multi window somewhere?
From the multitasking menu you should have split screen feature for all the google apps.
You can't with hardware buttons, but if you turn on screen navbar then it'll work. Can't seem to get around it and I hate onscreen buttons cause its a waste of screen space!!
Split screen works for me with on-screen navigation bar disabled too.
When using hardware-buttons you have to long press on an app-preview inside the recents-view,
then pull it up to pin it...

Fingerprint reader gestures

Can anyone confirm if the fingerprint​ gestures (tap for home, swipe left to go back, swipe right to enter multitasking view) work on Moto G5? Or is a feature exclusive to the Moto G5 Plus?
They work and work very nicely.
You need to activate this in Moto app.
Wasn't aware of this feature, enabled it now and enjoying the extra screen space!
yes just seen this video on researching moto g5 motion gestures is also available on the normal Lenovo Moto G5 too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbJoqHQ1WkI
Yes it works fine. I like the regular software buttons better though. But it's an option you can turn on or off.

I use the One button/fp nav - so the soft keys are hidden EXCEPT for the keyboard/gboard is openend ->> soft keys pop up!! Does anyone know how to prevent gboard from doing so??
No idea :/ Did not do this to me - but as I could not get rid of the extra row in gboard, I installed NextApp Keyboard and disabled gboard.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.inputmethod.latin&hl=en
Related to gboard: in my phone the gboard app randomly flickers (very slightly - you do not always notice this) - i got rid of this by disabling hardware overlays in development options.

It does this when you have multiple keyboards/languages active, so it can show the keyboard icon that switches between them to the right of the recents button. To remove it, afaik you have to disable these extra input methods :/

What about Google voice? Counts as another input method. I mean, just click that icon and see what options appear there. To remove the icon and the bar, have only one of those enabled. Unless there's no icon and it's just the soft keys, then idk...

I think I gotta try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-hide-navigation-bar-status-bar-app-t3509747 Update: this doesn't work to hide soft keys of gboard. And you were right it works with only one language enabled, but i can't live without 2 languages..
If I install a third party keyboard, can I disable every keyboard that's preinstalled, so the navbar won't pop up anymore?
yes. Settings -> Languages & Input ->Virtual Keyboard -> Manage Keyboards
After you have activated the 3rd party keyboard - you can disable the GBoard in Settings -> Apps -> GBoard -> Disable
This way it won't be updated (saving bandwith and small amount of battery each time new version comes out).
Anyone else wish you could swipe down on the fp reader to pull down the notification bar?
I wish you could customize all of them

How To Guide Remove Navbar for Custom Gestures on Android 12

Remove NavBar Gesture Pill (and more) for Pixel 6 Pro
Update: This only works if you are rooted now, since the January 2022 patch. Hi guys, I've seen several posts asking how to remove the Gesture Pill. It's easy if you're rooted, but it's also possible if you're not rooted. Here is a step by step...
forum.xda-developers.com
Hi all!
The above link is from the Pixel 6 Pro forum. In it is a non-root method of using Fabricated Overlays (new to Android 12) to hide/remove either the navigation pill bar (thus, retaining default gestures without taking up screen space for the bottom pill) or the three button navigation bar (what I did to enable custom gestures, such as FNG). I'd like to spread the word in case anybody here is interested in trying it out on their Android 12-based custom ROMs.
For reference, I'm on Arrow OS 12.0 and got it working well enough, though this method also hides the pills that custom gesture apps provide. I currently use FNG to have three bottom swiped gestures (back, home, recents) and a right side swipe gesture (brings up my Panels apps and widgets) while also using Bottom Quick Settings. All work perfectly!
Is it normal for my fabricated overlays to be reset everytime I reboot ?
Anyway to make them persistent?
Thanks !

From what I can tell, the January security patch for AOSP roms has closed being able to use Fabricated Overlays to affect the navigation bar.
Before that, it was normal for the overlays to remain after reboot. I guess it depends on what OS you're using.
