How To Disable Immersive Mode And Keep The Software Buttons Always On? - OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers

Hey all,
Does anyone know how to disable immersive mode and keep the software buttons always on? My mother has really shaky hands and performing gestures is not really viable for her so I'd like to just disable immersive mode all together that way she has the software buttons on at all times. I have came across multiple commands to hide the navbar and status bar but, nothing to keep it always enabled. Here is all of the commands that I've came across so far
Change Navigation Bar Color
settings put global navigationbar_color <Android value>
Change Navigation Bar Color
settings put global navigationbar_current_color <Android value>
Hide Status Bar Only
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
Hide Navigation Bar Only
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
Hide Status Bar and Navigation Bar
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
+ Immersive Mode In All Apps Except Certain Apps
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=apps,-"app location",-"another app location"
+ Immersive Mode In All Apps But With Certain Apps Having Status Bar Not Hidden
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,:immersive.status=apps,-"app location",-"second app location"
+ Immersive In All Apps But With Certain Apps Having Navigation Bar Not Hidden
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=apps,:immersive.navigation=apps,-"app location",-"second app location"
Put Status Bar and Navigation Bar Back to Normal/Default State
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
Any and all help is appreciated.

MS launcher has that option. Disable swipe and always on nav buttons

Keep the dock visible and the buttons will stay visible

Does anyone happen to know another solution? I'm specfically looking to keep the navbar even when opening a fullscreen app. Either via adb, a launcher or another app, I don't mind. Tried MS launcher and it did not work, I opened a fullscreen game and the navbar of course disappeared.

Hi, looking for the same functionality. My understanding is that you can enable Immersive Mode (Full Screen) for apps not enabling it them selv, but unfortunately not the other way around. I.e. if an app activate Full Screen you cannot override it. I am exploring now the feasibility to remove the Immersive Mode from the individual app via apps like APK Editor.

Answer: How do I auto-hide nav-bar or go auto-immersive?

How do I auto-hide nav-bar or go auto-immersive?
As root in Android Terminal, to auto-hide only nav-bar on bottom (e.g., just swipe up on bottom to show nav-bar), type:
su
settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
or to auto-hide top & bottom:
su
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
or to go back to original:
su
settings delete global policy_control
-------
To do the same as above without root using adb from PC, to auto-hide only nav-bar on bottom (e.g., just swipe up on bottom to show nav-bar), type:
adb shell
settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
or to auto-hide top & bottom:
adb shell
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
or to go back to original:
adb shell
settings delete global policy_control
-----
The only issue I have found so far is getting trapped in camera app, because camera app monopolizes swipe function by default; however, it is easy to swipe left in camera to go to photos, then swipe up from bottom in photos to make nav-bar appear.
**edit**
thanks for these steps, very helpful
you can also just enable Moto Actions and One button nav, hides the nav bar all together
I started out using the auto-hide nav-bar only one, but now I'm trying the full immersive one and the latter takes some getting used to, I think. There is no question either one makes web-browsing better! Every fraction of an inch of screen real-estate helps avoid that cramped feeling of inconvenience. But, I think I'm gonna stick with the auto-hide nav-bar only one, because it takes up the most room of the two and I miss it less.

Full Immersive - disable temporarily?

Thru terminal emulator I enabled Full Immersive mode which works as advertised.
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
However, nav bar hides fairly quickly and there are times I'd like it to remain visible for a bit longer.
Is there a nav bar tweak while in Full Immersive where you can keep nav bar visible until you want to hide it, without drilling into settings? My first though was long press on gray area to temp disable immersive would be cool.
Is there something I may have missed to do this?
Tks

hide nav bar

Hi,
I have update my oneplus 5t with the latest official android 8.1, and the nav bar does not hide automatically anymore after the update it hide. (I don't remember if it's a android or nova feature).
Do you know where is the settings to enable the hide of navbar?
Thanks.
I reply to me because I found where it is.
go to settings, bottons, navigation bar & gesture and choose hide the nav bar
Does anyone know anything about this?
Because I went to; Settings > Buttons > Navigation bar & gestures > Hide the navigation bar - marked it
But this is only hiding it while I'm in the Settings.
I thought this is going to hide it always even while at the HOME screen?

Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.sakeapps.immersivesettings
After installing app, you need to give it permission by adb, use command: adb shell pm grant jp.sakeapps.immersivesettings android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Don't care for any 3rd party apps, but thanks anyways...
For now I'm just using "Navigation Gestures" and quite liking it, at least it hides the nav bar too...

[APP] Quick Settings [Enable Immersive Mode]

I am in no way the owner or the developer of this app but if you have a Note 10 or Note 10+ by now you should have noticed that Immersive Mode is missing.
By using this app you can add the Immersive Mode Toggle to your Quick Menu with just one adb command, with no root.
Once enabled when selecting the Immersive Mode Toggle you will be given 4 choices, no status bar, no navigation bar, no status and navigation bar or normal operation.
If you select no navigation bar, you just swipe up from the bottom to temporarily get them back.

Systemui tuner is another great app

if you re rooted on android 10/11 you could try "app settings reborn" xposed module : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mod-xposed-app-settings-reborn.4141339/
it seems to work for all my apps except for an issue with yandex browser ...

what Adb?
I tried some adb commands like below
"adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-200"
but it doesnt work.
Did I do something wrong?
As far as I know, there is no method to remove the navbar on s22. The only thing I know, you can suppress back gestures in "swipe gestures" mode using ADB command. In that way, you will be able to utilize only the sides of the screen for FNG.
For that just use this command with ADB:
adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
and then chose "One UI full screen gestures" option in FNG settings.

Oh, and that would last ONLY untill reboot if you have no root.
If you install Samsung "Good Lock" and the install "NavStar" there is an option "Show and hide button". Then you have a little point on the left of the navbar. With double tab on it you could switch between hide ansd show.

Both Good Lock and One ui display option have only a hide function.
