[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sharkie405:
I have tried in the past to change the color of the navbar via the framework-res.apk to totally transparent, as in #00000000. All I ever got was black. I think the problem is something like this:

Most apps are not designed to go all the way down to the bottom of the screen, or Android makes apps not go all the way down to the bottom of the screen, I'm not sure which. In either case, since there is nothing to draw there, making a navbar transparent just basically turns off all the pixels, hence, making it "black."

The homescreen has been designed to go all the way down to the bottom of the page, which is why it works on the home screen and not other places.

I'm no expert, this is just my experience, and what I "think" is happening. Also, I think if it were possible somebody would have done it by now, but it just doesn't seem like it's possible without a vast rewrite of either framework res or systemui code.

Edit: it occurred to me that immersive mode is a thing, so I guess apps do go to the bottom of the screen when immersive mode is enabled, but not when the navbar is enabled.

The V8 Pro (android 6.0.1) doesn't work with any of the Bluetooth game controllers I've tried. They pair to it just fine, but the phone doesn't recognize them as input devices. The same controllers work fine with my S7 Edge and my wife's Moto ZForce. What would cause this?

any thoughts?

Yes,

I believe it is possible. There is a very informative thread here that deals with your question and a lot of other stuff concerning the internal gps.

well I love that, I guess with protective bags you cannot swipe so well, then I love when the small drops goes to the screen. and you see some pixel enlarged because of the drop. so you just swipe your palm over and is fresh again., of course I do not put directly under the water but enough a bit far.

You realize the note 8 is only water resistant not proof The tests done on these devices are done in a control tank of standing water The water resistancy is rated at 0 water pressure Well what ever is standing water at 1.5 m

But showers are considered pressurized which means water can ingress inside device as well as oxidize the USB and Contacts in headphone jack...

Been running a stock rooted set up for a long time. Looking at flashing a few Custom Roms and trying them out. I want to backup my stock setup so I can go back if need be. Are backups working in TWRP? If so is there a certain version of TWRP that needs to be used? Also, what all needs to be backed up? I'm not familiar with backing up the A/B partition setup. I know on single partition phones you selected data, system, and I think maybe boot or one other thing. Thanks in advance!

So to fix it, I just simply factory reset the phone. I read somewhere that someone was having issues with numerous apps on their first boot and setup attempt in Android P so they factory reset the phone and that took care of all the issues. Thought I would try it and it worked.

[YotaPhone] Phonatacid:
Hi

I used to quick-launch Librera reader from the epd-screen and was able to rotate the screen in landscape configuration which comes in handy when you're reading books.

Since I did the Android 6 update OTA, I noticed the way the epd screen is managed has changed. As I understand it:

- 1. either you *enter yota-mirror mode* and the whole "OS" will be mirrored to the epd screen.

- 2. or you *send* the current app to the epd screen.

With the first option, rotating the screen still rotates the app,

but with the second option the app orientation is locked in portrait mode.

With Librera I get additional menu items (not sure what to thing of that) and UI items are not reachable, as if the app was internally using a wrong (too big) screen size.

But this also happens with other rotatable apps, like Firefox focus.

Is this something standard or is this bug specific to my own phone ?

Thanks.

[APP] "Immersive Manager" - Take full control over the "Immersive Mode" [PROMO CODES]

"Immersive Mode" just the way you like!

View attachment 4453868View attachment 4453866

The "Immersive Mode" itself is a awesome feature right? But it's really annoying

that some apps don't make use of this beautiful way to enjoy a bigger screen.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could define the way it works yourself?

Well now you can with "Immersive Manager".

"Immersive Manager" allows you to tweak every aspect of where and how the

"Immersive Mode" should work on your device.

You can either define a global "Immersive Mode" which will be applied system wide.

Or if you wanna go further you can define the "Immersive Mode" per-app.

The following options are available and can be applied individually:

Full -> will hide both the status bar and the navigation bar

Status -> will only hide the status bar

Navigation -> will only hide the navigation bar

None -> will leave both system bars visible

No root required!

No draining background services!

No hacky or buggy overlays!

Just a simple and clean user interface which applies your settings in real time.

In order to make "Immersive Manager" work the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission must be granted.

Normally this permission is only granted to system applications because it allows the app to write system settings.

If you're device is rooted you can grant the permission from inside the app with just one click.

Otherwise you have to do it manually with a simple ADB command.

You will find a detailed tutorial inside the app.

The internet permission is used for analytics only.

Last Changelog:

• Improved tutorial

• Added a warning for incompatible apps

Would be nice if it was possible to choose immersive mode only for landscape for example. Like when you are on chrome in landscape, the proportion of place taken by the status bar is much greater than on portrait mode.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rashad83:
[MENTION=5266362]IVIanuu[/MENTION], By the way when I go to System/About Phone/Software Updates that page doesn't go to immersive mode when using per app strategy, on Global Immersive Mode it works fine. I hope this will be fixed soon.

I am using per app settings and I have almost all apps in full immersive except for two. Also my phone is an HTC U11+.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IVIanuu:
Glad that you like it. It's not required because my app writes the settings to the system so they are persisted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IVIanuu:
This is not possible with the current implementation because the app does not run in the background.

Pushed a new update ->

• Added a blacklist for apps which will ignore them in global and per app mode

• Under the hood changes

• Bug fixes
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rashad83:
On my phone it's not and I would assume other HTC phones and brands have the same issue probably because of their navigation bar customization. This probably wouldn't have been the case with AOSP Roms or Google stock rom. But in my case I need to use Adb commands with each boot on PC or apply it through your app, hence the need for apply on reboot.

Also one more suggestion could you include system files or apps in per app settings menu.

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

I understand but why does it work on Global and not per app, I think i might have a clue when you're applying immersive effect on per app configuration you're missing to include a system file or apk responsible for the Software Updates page. I hope I got my point across.

Why I am saying this, because when I run adb commands through the PC I can make that page immersive without issues.

Thanks again for your work and time.

Edit:

I just installed the latest update and i am happy you added system apps to the per app settings menu. It also solved the issue i had with the "Software Updates" page not being immersive. Thanks again for your work.

Hey mate,

Could you please have a look on the following weird behavior of "Per app" strategy for the paid app?

If some Full/Status Bar mode is granted for the app (both system and user one), it works properly for the period while the screen is active. Once the phone goes to the Sleep mode (even in just 5 seconds after the screen is off), the same app will be run in normal mode (without selected immersion type), so I have to toggle the Immersion Manager status off/on (or re-select the mode from UI).

I'm running the stock Android 8.0 ROM on my Samsung S8 Active (not rooted), so required WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission was granted through ADB console. Immersion Manager app is black-listed for the built-in Battery Optimizer and additionally locked within the phone task manager (to prevent any possible accidental closure).

Thanks in advance!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
You could try adb, but be careful. You need to know what to uninstall and what to not uninstall. Download platform-tools, use a command prompt (cmd) to access the platform-tools folder, connect your phone via USB debugging, enter adb devices into the command prompt, and list all the packages with adb shell cmd pm list packages

All the apps on your phone will be listed as their package names. You can uninstall (or disable) these packages by entering pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>

You can disable packages (and renable them if something goes wrong) with command pm disable <name of package>

Uninstalling works whether you're rooted or not. I think disable only works if you're rooted, but IDK.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6ftg72/want_to_completely_disableuninstall_those_pesky/

The problem with this method is, you need to know exactly what to uninstall or your ROM will get screwed up. Like UI will stop working. In that case, you have to factory reset and start again. So backup all your files before attempting this.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Big Elf:
I'd use Titanium Backup that way you can initially backup the app before uninstalling and delete later once you're 100% sure you no longer need it (although save the backup to a Micro SD or PC anyway).

If you're going to use ADB then the PC Inspector app will help identify the correct app to uninstall.

Edit: Are you 100% sure you've got full root? Have you checked with something like Root Checker (joeykrim)?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] SACS73:
Yes I have checked it with Root Checker.
