Force app to full screen - Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers

Greetings,
does anyone have an idea how to set/force an app to go full screen?
Thanks

I don't have the phone yet and was gonna ask a similar question. I didn't know if Razer had implemented any software tweaks to hide the nav bar, I guess they don't? Having a 5.7in screen and no way to hide the nav bar kinda sucks.

Hey try this app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive, I used this on the essential phone and it worked pretty well. There's also other ones on the store.

Yes there is a way to hide the Nav bar via Fluid N.G.
It's in the app store
No need for root, but with root the process is easier.
With root all you do is accept the permission to hide nav bar on all apps.
Without root you will need ADB on your PC and you have to run some simple commands that are in the app.
If you need more help let me know.

Here's some sample screenshots of the GMD Immersive App you can download at the play store. I have the paid pro version of it. When I first installed it, it didn't operate correctly, after a reboot it has been working fine now. You can find the app here: (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive)
Anyways this let's you either hide the nav bar by itself or hide the nav bar/notification bar so u can have a completely full screen when surfing the web or in your favorite apps. It's takes some getting use to but works fairly well. My phone is completely stock, no root required.

[Q] Is there a Way to Disable Pie and the Navigation Bar? [BeanStalk;Slimkat]

Is there any way that i can disable the navigation bar without beeing forced to activate the Pie Controls? I used Slimkat, Beanstalk and LiquidSMooth. None of this Roms allowed me to do that. I already tried Apps like "Auto hide soft keys". Although editing the build.prop doesnt disable the softkeys. Any one can help?
I have the same question, but for my Note 2. The phone has hardware keys, so it's annoying that the ROM disallows disabling both nav options.

You can install xposed and gravity box to resize the nav bar to zero, also in liquid smooth there is an option in the setting to do this without gravitybox. Settings/navigation/dimensions/navigation bar height set to zero dpi. This however is no good to me as i want a toggle for nav bar to be on or off and this solution will not work for that only to hide it and then to go back into settings to enable it again.

Anyone installed Custom Navigation bar?

Has anyone managed to successfully install Custom Navigation bar?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner
Right after I sent the ADB command, my systemUI consistently crashed. I had to do a factory reset and wasted quite a bit of time.
Wondering if anyone got this to work...
Thanks!
Similar to me, waiting for update.
Setting the navbar color via ADB was easy and works great. That said I didn't do anything else with it.
It is not only about the color. That app is also allowing to add 2 extra buttons to the nav bar with any key code. It is extremely useful, it works great in Note8, but it fails in Note9. Can't wait for an update.

It seems that even though the app got an update for Android 9, in the mean time, Note9 was set as incompatible device (which should prevent others getting into trouble).
Hopefully a fix is on the way, as it was very useful.

Perhaps not that much customized, but I'm using wings substratum to darken my navbar icons and swift for amoled black navbar.

I was using it to add 2 extra buttons on the sides:
- menu button - very usefull in old applications
- sfinder in the other one
But you could map those 2 buttons to whatever keycode you wanted... which is extremely useful!!
I'm using substratum with no problems, yeah it can't add extra buttons but 3 is all I need.
NAVBAR Apps has only been installed a few minutes on my Note 9, but dynamic navbar seems to be working well.

I haven't seen that, but I haven't chosen a color. I have it set to let the app in use dictate the color. I have seen only one app that I dislike the color choice, so far.
I too dont like default nav bar button looks. However I use more safer way to get customization. There are quite a few samsung themes (paid most ones few free ones) provide nav bar custom look buttons such as below. Ofcourse they wont provide new buttons but merely change the look.
Invaser Soft theme I use on note 9 gives the attached look.
so, is there any update on this for the Note 9?? I'd really like to add a power button to the bottom rgiht.....

Pie beta: How can I bring back the dot on the navbar to hide it?

How can I bring back the dot on the navbar to hide it?
You can't.
What about navstar?
I just switched to the gesture navigation.. That way it gets hidden and I can still go home/back/recents, but even faster
Install it and try it. Let us know if it works.
---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------
Yes, but no way to activate Google Assistant by holding for home button. Deal breaker for me. And I HATE through nav bar.
Navstar doesn't work
Dang it! I also miss the dot to hide the navigation bar. Thanks for trying NavStar!!
I would suggest trying the full screen gestures as well.
Full screen gestures?

Full Immersive Mode

For those that want to take advantage of this beautiful screen and all it's glory. These commands will remove the status bar, the navigation bar, or both. They must be run using ADB. I did not create this, these commands have been around for quite a while and I have been using them as far back as the Galaxy S8.
They do the same thing as immersive mode in System UI Tuner but without having to install another app and run commands for that app to work and yes before you ask, I have used that same app on some of the recent phones I have had. These commands are just for those that want the full screen experience.
Without further ado here are the commands to be placed into ADB.
To hide the Status bar:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
To hide the Navigation bar:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
To hide both Status and Navigation bars:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
To revert:
adb shell settings put global policy_control null*
Hope Y'all enjoy it.

is there a code to disable the nav bar permanently? for instance, with the code above it basically hides the nav bar. it is still available if you swipe up. i'd like to completely disable it so it never shows and use LMT with gestures instead.

Oh my god thank you. I'm looking for the same thing. I want to remove the navigation bar entirely. I use fluid navigation gestures right now, because I absolutely hate the OnePlus navigation gestures animation you get. (Flingy shrinking square effect)It feels like it's slowing down the phone.
But when you use the fingerprint sensor with fluid gestures, for a brief moment, the system has to shoot the navigation bar back down again. it's annoying and glitchy. It feels like I can't win, there's always a stupid animation I don't want to see

I just go into settings and then into buttons & gestures and then navigation bare and gestures and set it for gestures and viola, nav bar gone.

unless there is something specifically different with oneplus - this build prop edit no longer works since going to Pie.
there definitely is some way to hide it because some custom roms like Resurrection Remix still remove it completely if you want.
gonna keep trying and see if i can get rid of it all together
Hi
I love to use the phone in full immersive mode, but I have problem with the keyboard. Let's say I have kb up in the browser. Somebody sends me a msg, I have the popup (which I'd also like to be able to disable btw, in case if you know a trick), and it brings back the statusbar for the time of the pop up, and that causes the reloading of the kb. Very annoying. Plus in whatsapp it breaks the ui, the top bar with the name of the contact disappears, and the type bar also covered by the kb for a few pixel widht. If the kb is not up, there's no problem. Am I the knly lucky with these issues?

you're right - this is the way to do it. when you have it turned on the keyboard doesn't come up. that combined with the adb code to hide both bars seems to work

This worked for me:
Requirements: ADB and Fastboot installed on PC or Mac.
Instructions: Type without quotations in CMD or Windows PoweShell (use "."before command in PowerShell):
"adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-202"
---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------
And for full, semi, etc. immersive; EdExposed with GravityBox P --> Display Tweaks --> Expanded Desktop Mode settings. In addition, GravityBox adds the Expanded Desktop mode change button to the Power Menu
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=
hides it completely, been using since I got the phone, I love the impressiveness of full screen mode, only thing is the round corners sometimes partially obstruct screen elements, my previous Mi Mix was much squarer and didnt have this (minor) issue.
I only use the code for the status bar and not the one for the the nav bar or full since I use gestures. I did try it with it with full and had no issues with the buttons popping up when I swipe up or down nor did I have a y keyboard issues.

this code moved it a bit too much. any idea what number stock is? trying different values and its not working
EDIT - i kept messing with this so the keyboard was at the very bottom and the number i needed was -75
Is there an easy way to enable per app nav bar immersive mode? On stock LG Oreo, there was a toggle on the nav bar that you could enable / disable per app to show / hide the nav bar (nothing for status bar .. but I like having the status bar).
If not I think I found something to work on
Edit : So I see that Renovate Ice offers per app, but I am not going to pay for a feature that I can fix myself. I run xxx no limits, and I think I will get in touch with that dev to see if he will let me work with him to get it added in.
-- Brian
I cheesed out and paid for Renovate. It is nice that you can run Renovate with xxx No Limits at the same time .. the only issue being the timeout of the AOD . Way too fast with both installed.
Again, I have only had this phone since Friday, but I will be tearing through the code, and fixing all these little issues that bug the sh*t out of me without someone having to pay for it

Hi
Is anybody there uses full immersive mode on 10?
Before on 9 I had some issues, when the keyboard was active. After it was fixed. (I was on havoc).
Now as I swapped to 10 some months ago, I have the same issue. I was waiting all these months to be fixed, but still the keyboard breaks the ui. You can see in whatsapp chat, substratum, even in xda app, when you write a post.
This only happens, when I hide statbar, as navbar is always hidden, that doesn't give problem, so I did a blacklist for the statbar for tgese apps. I use system ui tuner app.
Do you know any way to fix this?
I wrote a couple of times to the forum of the rom I use, but no answer. I know, not so popular the full immersive mode, but I really like it, please share if you know a fix, thanks.
BTW @truckerdewd I recommend putting a "" around the *
The * is a wildcard character and also sometimes treated as a regex
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation="*"
That should prevent headaches for anyone using shells that auto fill the *

I copied and pasted the exact commands from a web page that I have saved in my email. I have used the same exact commands all the way back to when the Galaxy S8 came out without incident. Best way to prevent the * from bring auto entered in command prompt is to not use Windows shell but to actually make windows use command prompt. Windows shell sucks and I detest it.

Android 10 Gesture Navigation on ROG Phone 2

Currently, Android 10 Gesture Navigation is incompatible with 3rd party launchers. I read that it checks to see if the launcher is your default system launcher before allowing Gesture Navigation. Would the following process be an effective workaround and make Gesture Navigation compatible with a launcher of my choosing?
- Root phone
- Install 3rd party launcher
- Set 3rd party launcher as system app and change permissions accordingly
- Remove stock launcher and it's backup APKs
- Restart device
I have some experience with rooting, but not much, and I've bricked phones before. I've also had highly successful attempts at rooting and tweaking the system. This is an expensive phone, so I would like to get a second opinion before I attempt this.

Use Navigation Gesture(XDA) to disable default Nav bar. Then install Fluid Navigation Gesture app. It's has similar navigation to Android Pie and moreover you can add custom toggles. No root required. Just ADB, for both the apps to work. I am on Android 10 with Nova Launcher and they both work great! Both apps are available on play store. Hope this helps.
I have mine fully working from day 1 with Quickswitch + Lawnchair (prealpha releases, TG channel). Amazing experience
Does it work even after reboot ?

Navigation Gesture works(hiding the nav bar). Fluid navigation gesture doesn't. So you need to give the ADB commands again
Edit: Good news! You don't have to give ADB permissions in either. Just cross checked. For Fluid Nav Gesture you just have to disable and enable accessibility services!

After restarting the phone, yes I agree. You can solve it by disabling and enabling accessibility services. Cleaning it from recent apps shouldn't. It is not happening for me. Did you give adb writing permission?
Do you have "detect battery draining app" and stop if running in background on?
The CN rom has no navigation bar option
