What is "autotools"?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jon6fingrs:
It's a tasker plugin that lets you change secure settings without root after giving it permission through adb.

i actually did it without root
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] LeeDroid:
My app also provides an immersive toggle and much more guys.. from a floating Toolbox, sidebar, quick Settings tile or an app drawer shortcut which you can also map in Tasker.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leedroid.shortcutter

You can also opt to toggle full immersive or have a selector display.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] mngdew:
You should amend your first post. It will still make people think they need root for this to work.

Anyone notice that when you have immersive mode turned on, the SQueeze feature doesn't work except when the screen is off OR when the navigation bar is present?

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] biggiestuff:
I actually use the squeeze feature so I guess no immersive mode for me. Ugh
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] RoWilJr:
Just swipe up and squeeze. I know, one extra step but it is what it is until root becomes available.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] biggiestuff:
I originally just used a gesture on one of the icons to bring up Google Assistant but it was annoying since I had gotten issued to the squeeze. I'll revisit at a later date.

Downloaded your app can you explain how to get rid of nav bar
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] 1981greg:
Nevermind I got it and it works great I now get a random freeze were I have to reboot the phone only like once a day could this be from this mod .Any way app works great once installed
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] biggiestuff:
I did the immersive mode using ADB shell and I started getting random lock ups when the phone would sleep. The only way to get out of it was to double click the camera button to wake the phone. It would sometimes come up quick or sometimes it'd take awhile. It was annoying enough where I disabled immersive mode :(. I really liked using that full screen all the time.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] henderjr:
If you want full immersion (top and bottom) this is what I do and no lockups. I was getting some until I added that bottom command

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=apps,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] biggiestuff:
Thanks, I'll give it a try. Any idea what the 2nd line does to resolve the lock up issues?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] henderjr:
Not sure but I read in multiple XDA threads and on Reddit that's the solution. In fact you only need the second line. I believe it overwrites the first
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] biggiestuff:
Darn it does the top as well too. I just want the bottom
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] henderjr:
Well then try

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

Just like the OP using .status, .navigation, or .full but changing what comes after the =

This gives a little more info about the lock ups.

Battery drain issues?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jcsc831:
Anyone noticed increased battery drain with Immersive mode?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] biggiestuff:
I haven't noticed anything major. This phone makes me use it more but I'm still getting 6-7 hours of SOT time per day. IF i charge my phone on my commute home, i'll get in the 8-9 range for SOT. I do play Galaxy of Heroes pretty heavily too.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jfive74:
Hey Leedroid. Been using your app for a minute. Good work. Can you modify your immersive mode coding to the following? It has been proven to fix battery drain and slow screen on display issues. Google quick search seems to be issue.

Add this line "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox" to command line. Found in this thread.

Examples below

settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

Let me know what u think. Working great!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] leaflite:
Hi,

I've tried following the steps here, works great! Whilst connected to the pc, it gives immersive mode in every app. However, as soon as I disconnect the phone from the PC, it reverts to stock. Is there anything I'm missing?? Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Just a tip: You can have much better control over Immersive mode using the System UI tuner app, over manually setting all of this stuff (but it the app does requires root). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner&hl=en

-> There are several different immersive mode settings available. (hide navbar, hide statusbar or both)

-> You can enable full immersive mode with having to edit anything and it's more flexible than this prescribed solution in the OP.

-> You can add an immersive mode quick tile for switching immersive mode on/off on the fly.

-> You can also select app-specific mode which will whitelist (and/or blacklist) apps from using Immersive mode.

Maybe that's not what your after; but it seems much easier than editing all of these settings manually....

also; to avoid burn in from your navbar without immersive mode;

1. use substratum to theme your navbar. Mine is darkgrey, occasionally I also switch it up.

2. and/or Custom Navigation bar app to theme and occasionally change the layout position of the buttons...

I've had my Pixel for a year, burn in has never been an issue... I hope this info is useful. ;)
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ithehappy:
And with that app, SystemUI Tuner, the nav bar will come back when you swipe up from bottom or is it gonna stay disabled until I toggle it back from app's settings?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
It comes back on swiping up ~ It would be a pretty awkward and useless app otherwise, i think. lol
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jcaporter8:
Acts a little weird with some apps. But better than the burn. Ex: Pixel 2 launcher on pixel XL 2016 search bar is on the edge of the screen. Snapchat corner buttons are in the middle of the screen-ish.

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] neetee:
i'm on Oreo 8.1 and magisk,too. But there is no problem on my phone. This method works like a charm!!!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] albertphim:
This works great for me!... Just a matter of preference, but is there a way to make the navi/notification bar stay on the screen longer after swiping it from hiding?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] GCbard:
I just wanted to confirm. Does this method, using abd to get immersive mode, cause more battery drain compared to not using it?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] biggiestuff:
I don't notice any battery drain. With games I get 6.5 hour screen. Without games I get nearly 8 if I play my cards right.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] GCbard:
I've read on some forms that immersive mode causes the battery chain a little faster. Does this method avoid that battery drain since it is not depending on the app to do so?

Wow. Thanks for this !

You guys are friggin GODS! On verizon network with unlocked bootloader EX kernal pixel 2 xl and with my windows 10 computer (took a little figuring out with powershell) but worked like a dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
hey, just thought I would point out (given that aside from immersive mode, some of the concern is screen burn-in), that now that xposed works on oreo, another way to combat burn-in would be to move the navbar button placement (lots of ways to do this), then use "perfectcolorbar" xposed module - with this module, you can customize statusbar and navbar colors (including intuitively matching app colours), which over time would result in moelre even ware on the amoled screen...

hint: moving the navbar buttons, will allow the unevenly wared button burn-in to slowly disipate as the rest of the navbar background catches up...

just another option for those concerned with burn-in..
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hgoldstein3:
is there any way to do this so that it works in all apps and screens except for the home screen? I have it enabled right now, but i miss having the nav bar on the home screen.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
system ui tuner in play store can...

you can control immersive mode in there, including enabling an app-specific blacklist mode... I do this for apex launcher, so that when I am on the home screen, I have a navbar. I also blacklist a couple of other apps where I prefer to have the navbar visible, without having to swipe up to access it..
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] m.mishka:
My phone is not pixel, but Moto g5s plus on Oreo ROM (pixel experience). I know it's not the same thing .... but the problem WAS the same and I tried all the same things you're trying out here.

In the end the System UI Tuner seemed like the best solution - and the simplest one too.

I did the su ADB command method and that brought up the navbar at every level swipe up, plus the bar was always up when using the keyboard, which was most annoying. The Tile app is good, but I don't like the idea of having an app for something that's possible without one. I also didn't like the fact that it was running some sort of a service, seemingly, as there was an option to turn off the service when the device goes to sleep, which I didn't at first disable, and "the service" did indeed disable itself, after i turned the screen off only for a few seconds. Like, 10. Did the device really go to sleep in that short a time? That was annoying. Instead of enabling the service to run in background, I decided to uninstall the app.

Both methods (despite my running the ADB command which is supposed to resolve the lag) resulted in severely glitchy browser scrolling (both Firefox and chrome). It was really quite bad, almost unbearably so.

Anyway, I enabled the System UI Tuner and toggled the navbar - and voila! The dreaded navbar stays down and doesn't pop up ever again, the browsers are scrolling smooth too, and neither the keyboard nor sweeping up brings up that unsightly awfulness back up again.

I'm surprised that a solution so simple and effective is buried so deeply in threads. Why don't you guys try it first before installing apps and editing build.prop and running ADB commands? Am I missing something?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ithehappy:
[MENTION=2376789]m.mishka[/MENTION]: Just tried the app, disabled navigation bar, but damn thing pops back up when swiped up from bottom :(

My search to find an easy way to "completely disable" the navigation bar continues.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
lol. your search has ended. immersive mode is NOT intended to disable the navbar, that's not what it's for. it serves to give granukar control over immersive mode. immersive mode is intended to hide the statusbar/narbar and also other stuff like color matching / app integration, fullscreen mode, etc....

**** if what you are after is to completely disable the navbar, the answer is simple. you need to edit your build.prop and add the following to the bottom;

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

or, if u have magisk installed, just add the hide navbar module (which will do the above for you)... this is the defacto-standard way to disable the navbar. always has been. (ie: a quick google search turns up many results, going back years and years).

note: you will need some app to replace navbar functionality (like a pie menu) or you will not be able to navigate in android properly (like no way to switch apps, use back button, get to the homescreen, etc).

I hope this helps.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ithehappy:
Ha ha I used that build.prop method on Nougat almost the entire time, but then when I wanted to use the same on Oreo I was told that command doesn't work any more, will result in a boot loop or something. So yeah, there you go. I don't know who is right, you or them who told me that method won't work any more. I didn't know about the Magisk method, I will try that for sure, hope it doesn't affect the battery backup. I am a paid GMD Gesture Control user for long time.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
I'm right. ;) ... whoever told you that it doesn't work doesn't know what they are talking about. I've verified that it works, by testing it for myself.

the magisk method is the same thing; all it does is set that build prop, but systemless-ly... and obviously, if you have magisk installed, you would need to do it systemless-ly anyway....

no idea what "battery backup" means.?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] m.mishka:
Thanks for the tips and great advice. I ended up going down System UI Tuner route. (I have a gesture-enabled fingerprint button on my phone, so navbar is not only unwelcome but also unnecessary.)

My Magisk wouldn't install any modules. (That's another think I'll be looking into. Ughh.) The System UI Tuner seems to have done a great job getting the navbar out of my way, though, and I'm very likely wrong, but I'm tempted to say maybe it does the same thing the Magisk module would? It even took a restart for it to work properly. :)
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
nah, your assumption is incorrect... they do completely different things. system ui tuner can control immersive mode settings (dynamic, fine-grained control of the statusbar and navbar behaviour)...I prefer system ui tuner, since I do at times want the navbar. ...

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

...actually disables the navbar completely, it basically says; "hey android, I have hardware keys, so I don't need the software keys or the navbar, thank you very much". ?

so there is a big difference.

Did you exclude -com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox ? Having that app using immersive mode causes it to lag when turning the screen on. Read through the thread there's multiple people talking about it. This thread also talks about it

Hey there,

I just tried this:

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=apps,-com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher

I wanted the immersive mode only in apps and not on the homescreen but this does not seem to work. Can anybody pls tell me how to enable immersive mode in apps only?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
yes, if you are rooted - use an app in the play store called " systemUI tuner", it can handle immersive mode on a per app basis (you could blacklist the launcher). it also gives u a quick tile for manually enabling/disabling immersive mode, as well as having a few other nice features (that are unrelated)...

*** as an aside, I wish that SystemUI Tuner would be listed/added in the OP as an alternative && viable method, since it's come up over and over again in this thread and solves real issues that using this silly adb + terminal method does not / cannot... IMHO, It's a far better solution that isn't so rigid and impractical...
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] endemic1988:
Is there a way without having to root?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
sure, but you'll have to look around in the play store...just search for "immersive mode".

just be selective / do a bit of research, as like many apps in the play store; some may be adware or just crappy... I'm guessing the best solutions won't be free. e.g; "immersive mode manager" app is supposed to be good, but isn't free.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bzowk:
Hey Guys -

I was excited today to update my Shield Tablet (Original Wi-Fi (Not K1) to Nougat today and finished recently. Unfortunately, when I plug it up to change, it freezes for a minute then goes into a boot loop. To get out of the loop, I unplug it from charger. In fact, when I boot to bootloader menu, the volume keys won't allow me to select an item when plugged in.

My original charger broke long ago but for over a year now have been using a 2.4A charger without any issues. I tried charging it using a 1.2A, but still went into loop, too. Don't know why it only decided to do this after an update. Any suggestions?

BTW - here's how I updated if it helps...

1. Flashed 4.4.0 via ADB/Fastboot

2. Flashed TWRP (twrp-multirom-20160410-UNOFFICIAL-shieldtablet_m)

3. Copied SuperSU (BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524)

4. Installed FlashFire

5. Downloaded OTA for Nougat and flashed it using FlashFire (retaining root & Recovery - default options)

I looked up the OEM power specs and says 2.1A so going to try that out. I can see it having issues with hardware, but not when only change is software - plus - why when charging 1.2a did I have issues? Odd

Any suggestions or thought? Thanks!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_rx7_:
I have the 32gb LTE tablet and mine behaves exactly the same way since I updated to Nougat using the same steps you did (after which a factory reset didn't solve).

I narrowed down the bootloops to when I use a Samsung charger (both Adaptive Fast Charge compatible or the older non fast charge ones). As soon as I plug it in to one of those it goes in a boot loop and doesn't come out until I unplug. The boot loops don't happen if I use an Apple iPad charger but it charges EXTREMELY slowly. It went from 0% to ~50% in about 7 hours!!
