[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] murdok83:
Hello everyone... I bring this topic up as i permanently removed the navbar and I'm using swipe gesture to control the device.

Unfortunately there are apps that don't take advantage of the full screen, but leave a black bar at the bottom (where the navbar is supposed to be).. is there a way to force them to full screen as in samsung rom?!

Im rooted with xposed and magisk...

Any advices?! Thanks

Same problem, some apps just dont use 18:9 ratio (Spotify f.e.)

You can see the black bar at the bottom where the navbar would be:

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

I finally found a solution, the problem is spotify not supporting 18:9 by default.

You need to decompile the apk and insert

<meta-data android:name="android.max_aspect" android:value="2.1" />

in the <application> tag of the app manifest.

Then recompile and sign the apk. After installing the modified apk the navbar should be hidden :good:

You can download my modified spotify version here if you want to or use apktool and do it yourself.

Modified apk without navbar:

This "fix" should work for any app.

How to you install the app once you recomplie. I've tried this with a launcher app, but in getting application not installed. Also would you be willing to share your modded spotify apk.

You could use Edge Sense Plus to get this. https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/themes/root-custom-active-edge-actions-edge-t3732383

I have long squeeze set to immersive mode, and it works with Spotify for full screen without the black bars.

It's a really handy app (you'll need root for it). I use it all of the time.

I have short squeeze for Assistant, double squeeze for opening my bank's payment app, and long for immersive.

With the screen off, I have it set for music controls. Short squeeze for next track, double for previous track, and long for play/pause.

An alternative to fix these black bar i found is setting the display size to large in settings, if that doesn't work, try putting the lowest number as possible of screen dp in the "Smallest width" option from developer settings. It's uncomfortable but sometimes is worth to use.

[SuperSU] pr1jker:
I rooted my LG g3 (stock Lollipop) and flashed Supersu. It's been working well for some time, but lately, Supersu seems to be uninstalled (?) by the system, denying then root access to my apps (sd maid, titanium... ). What i do then is flash supersu again from TWRP , and all is back to normal... Untill Supersu is uninstalled again...

Is there anything i should do to avoid that? I'm thinking about installing Supersu as a system app. Would that matter?

I have seen this on several Android 5.1 based systems following the release of SuperSU 2.7.9. I don't know if the most recent builds (2.8.2 SR5 as of this post) solved it. In my case I either reverted to the native root solution (for CM/Lineage based ROMs) or fell back to SuperSU 2.7.6

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I337MVLSGQB1

If the baseband isn't in the https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att section as a flashable zip using TWRP, you'll have to download the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com and flash the baseband extracted from the ROM zip using Odin. That will guarantee the latest baseband gets put on your device.

But won't that just flash the entire firmware causing me to have to unlock and flash recovery and root all over again?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If your phone is unlocked from its carrier, it stays unlocked even if you change ROMs. Also, I misstated what you had to do to get to the appropriate files. After downloading the large file from sammobile, extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip. You should end up with a .tar.md5 file. Rename that file to .tar, and extract the files within. The two you want are modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin. Those two are then flashed using Odin.

Of course, you could do the adventurous thing and download one of the existing flashable modem zips, then replace the existing modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin in the flashable zip with the versions from the stock ROM package.

Rogers, Telus, and Bell use the same stock ROM with a bit of customization on the sgh-i337m; therefore, you can cross-flash the modem, bootloader, and system as they are the same.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I would not cross-flash bootloaders or modems as invalid modem/bootloader combinations may hard brick the phone.

You may need to flash a different kernel when using custom ROMs desgined for the i9505.

Thanks for starting this thread RED ZMAN. I'll be watching it.

I've currently got the Seidio Surface and holster setup on my 2 XL. I used the Surface on my last three phones (Nexus 6P, Nexus 5 & Galaxy Nexus). I was quite happy with it on all three of those and so far I'm very happy with it on my 2 XL. But I've seen numerous snide comments and put downs about it over in the main Case's thread ... can anyone explain why? I've never had a phone come out of the case or holster unintentionally and none of them have ever been damaged.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Pig Vomit:
WARNING REGARDING SEIDIO SURFACE CASE!!!:

I've owned a few Seidio Surface cases over the years, LOVE THEM, and I didn't even consider anything else. I've made positive posts about them on xda. Ordered it the same day as my new Pixel 2 XL. They both arrived two days ago.

I didn't even put in the SIM or boot up the phone before I tried the case on it. My old (and dead) Nexus 6P had the same rubber insert with plastic outer case configuration, and this was the same. Put on the rubber insert, fit well. Went to put on the outer case......and it took some work to get it on. I eventually got it on, but could not get it to close all the way and there was a gap of a couple millimeters showing white plastic (on a red case!!!???) at the gap. I absolutely could not get it all the way closed. I figured I would sort it out later, but I wanted to clean flash the most recent image (phone came with September image) and insert the SIM to make calls.

So I went to take off the case. I could not take off the case for 30 minutes. We're talking big-muscular-weightlifter-now-sweating attempts. I am not a small or weak guy.

30 minutes into my attempts to remove the case I messaged Seidio's help desk and their reply was "We are sorry to hear about the issue you are having with the case. The case is meant to have a tight fit so it does not fall off on impact of a drop. Make sure you are pressing down on half the case and pulling apart." They also marked the ticket as closed because my issue was solved.

After a total of 90 minutes of sweating frustration, I took the flat edge of a dinner knife and inserted it in the gap and attempted to pry it open.....no go. I finally resorted to cutting off the case to recover my phone as there was no other way to do it.

I have contacted Seidio for an RMA and I will post their response here. The episode was disturbing enough with my new $900+ phone that I do not want to risk trying a replacement case unless they have re-engineered the case. I was lucky I didn't damage my phone in the process. I asked for a full refund.

If anyone else has a Surface case, I'd love to hear about your experience.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] an21281:
Any pics? Even if it's the case cut off... Haven't heard of this happening before with any case/phone combo
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I stopped using their cases years ago because the quality just went downhill. When the dual cases had rubber at the top lip and you would try to put the phone in the holster the clip would go underneath the case and you would drop your phone onto the ground. And then one day my expensive ass case melted in my hands from the bug repellent that we were using at work.

The holsters used to be worth a damn and the belt clip would last for a long time and then they went to a new manufacturing method and the plastic around the pivot pin got super thin and they would break all the time. It got so expensive to keep a holster around that I looked elsewhere and started buying the unicorn beetle series of cases and making hybrid Case and Holster combos.

I break the others getting in and out of my truck., Seatbelt often catches and pops the plastic clips. This metal one no problems.
