So i recently instaled PA on my Nexus 7 and so far it's been ok, I like the ROM but the main reason I installed it was for the Pie control / Immersive Mode without having to install a module for it bt still being able to use the THEME engine from CM11 (my fav rom)
that being said, I've been trying to find the settings for the pie control so I can make the clock and info show up quicker, is there a menu for it ? was I just not able to find it ?
Sorry, but there's no such thing.
I wish I could stop using PIE and start using KitKat controls again instead.

you mean the NavBar? you just need to turn off Immersive mode

Yes, the NavBar. But the semi-transparent one, not the gradient one. The one you can use while using Immersive mode.

TAP the little square on top of the immersive mode button, it'll switch to another button that can give you options for what you wanna do
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 I was also looking for a way to do this after playing with a friend's iPhone X and realizing how outdated a navigation bar now feels.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
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Hello there,
With my GS8, I was able to hide status bar to enter in immersive mod.
With my GS20+, this option is not available anymore.
I try to enter into immersive mod with some ADB commands but a Black bar stay present during the navigation.
Is there any solution to fix it ?
something like this? But you need root.
The way I did it is with System UI Tuner from the Play Store and it works fine. For some reason, tge ADB commands for immersive mode get weird on newer Samsung devices and leave the black bar at the top of the screen but work just fine on other devices such as OnePlus and LG, but with System UI Tuner, you can enable immersive mode on Samsung devices just fine.
Here is a link to it in the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner
You will have to run ADB commands to enable permissions for it but it works great. I have used it successfully on the S9, S10, and now the S20. No root is required either.

I used that one on my S8 and actually still have the link to that page saved in an email I sent to myself. I had issues with it on my S10. I have been using System UI Tuner on my Samsung devices since the S10, although I did use it on one or two of the S9s I had because it was just faster.
I didn't have to use System UI Tuner on any of the OnePlus phones I had because the ADB commands worked fine. I use gestures on my phone so I don't need to hide the navigation bar since there is an option to hide it built into Android 10 when using gestures, I just had to hide the status bar.
System UI tuner still leaves a black bar on top on my S20 Ultra.
I think we need root for a true immerssive mode.

Well, with killing I meant a clean display without the black bar lmao. @chieco No I don't got root rights, but afaik this is achievable even without root. My guess is that the android version with one ui does not support immersive mode for the given display resolution. However, there should be a solution for this.

How did you get rid of the black bar on S20?
I tried immersive mode "full" and "status", and neither provided true immersive mode. The clock, network status and battery icon disappear, but launching any app still shows a black bar across the top. "Immersive mode" just removes text from the top, but the black bar remains.
@Mucky2
unfortunately you are wrong. It's sadly not possible to achieve Full Immersive Mode without root.. your guesses are wrong. There is a non-root option but that costs money and doesn't work for all apps and it has few other downsides to it. A friend of mine found the method I'm currently using, and it also works on my S20+ that is rooted.
@sublimaze
He didn't! he's talking crap. He is one of those people who's knowledge isn't updated and think those old method's still work. Since my S10 every time I opened a thread here or on reddit, there are always these people who pop in think they know it all but in reality they make claims that are untrue and can't be backed up by them. I asked him to show proof but nada! Because he can't! But he sounded so sure...
My friend is the only one who knows how. But he asked me not to share it. Maybe I can finally convince him to join xda and share his method with us.

Yes it is rooted. I would say one more reason to root that's how it goes folks if you want full control of your device you need to root it. Otherwise Sammy is going to dictate everything you can and can't do with it. Must feel good to pay upwards of 1000$ and not being able to get rid of the Statusbar. It was especially annoying on the S10 since the Statusbar was sooo huge due to the punch hole being big af. Atleast on the S20 line the punch hole shrank enough where the statusbar is at a normal hight.

Does anyone have found a way to hide navbar in Android 11 without root? overscan or fullscreen ADB command still unusable un beta 3 :crying:
Few days ago Google confirmed that it was not a bug not able to use overscan (Status: Won’t Fix (Intended Behavior))
But there are not any comments on innmersive mode... Still in latest public Android 11 version youn can't set innmersive mode with adb command (adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*), it just keep reseting the settings to inmerssive.none=*
Do we have then to finally root or install custom 11 ROM to be able to hide the navbar?
