disable cutout option? - LG V40 Questions & Answers

I noted with sadness that my brother's Pixel 3 XL has in developer settings the option to disable the notch and slide the status bar down and we don't in our developer settings. Yes, he has a larger forehead, but then his notch is twice what ours is.
Wondering if there's a way to achieve this same result with a modification of some kind? It's been 4 years since I last messed with mods or roms or even unlocking the bootloader, etc. But I really hate that half of my status icons and notifications are behind a stupid cutout.
Would love suggestions.

What about immersive mode? Using adb? You can search immersive mode on playstore

[Q] How to disable "Swipe down from the top to exit full screen" message?

I keep getting this notification when I have various apps open. It doesn't happen with the offending apps on every occasion but I sure as heck would like to disable this obnoxious message permanently of possible. Currently unrooted running stock 4.4.2.
Attached screenshot is the Dynamic Notifications app, not the stock active display.

Looks like you're using Gravity Box, with "expanded desktop" enabled? If so that's probably the issue. Try turning off expanded desktop and let us know if that helps...

Ah...
Ok, here is your answer:
Open Dynamic Notification, click advanced options. Now click advanced options in the drop down menu.
UNCHECK "Use Immersive mode"
The status bar will probably show, but problem solved. Its immersive mode that causes the message to appear.
Any app that uses immersive mode will trigger the pop-up.

Alright thanks. I did try that and it does remove the message, I was just hoping I could get the full screen experience out of it. I'm guessing this is the app's issue? Wish I could just disable hints completely. Don't need em. Thanks man

I don't think its the apps issue...more like a 'bug' in android. Not sure if I would even call it a bug...there just isn't any option anywhere to turn off the immersive mode "swipe down" messages. I imagine it was intentional....cause you just know that 10,000 people would call in to tech support saying they're stuck in full screen and can't get out.
I guess this is one advantage active display has over dynamic notification....that and power saving. AD doesn't actually wake your phone...one of the co-processors in the "X8" system is able to provide the notifications while sipping battery power.

I didn't know that about Active Display in respect to saving battery. Very cool! Might switch back. I was just used to Dynamic Notifications on my old phone.
UPDATE: Per your round-about recommendation I'm now using Active Display. Really like it! Guess I was quick on the trigger with disabling it and installing Dynamic Notifications when I first got the phone. I appreciate it.

Swipe down to exit full screen on xbmc box
Having recently acquired on xbmc box from my son ( he couldn't be bothered to set it up) I was extremely frustrated by the swipe message so I googled it & no one had the answer, so I purchased a wireless keyboard mouse, Bingo Fn+ mouse hover curser over OK & it's gone, if that doesn't work , re install & try again.

Immersive mode with ADB Shell comands (hide status bar) (No Root)

Just in case any of you don't like the fixed status bar you can still hide it with the old shell commands, to bring it back for a few seconds just swipe down from the top.
I did on my S8+ and just tried on the Note 8 and it works fine. No Root needed
Follow this write up, there's an even more in depth write up with in this one I'm posting the link for.

Is there a way to permanently disable navigation bar and use swipe gestures instead? (I don't mean hide the navbar, because it appears when you try to use swipe gestures). I love the immersive mode but constant need to bring the bar back is pretty annoying. I would greatly appreciate if anyone would suggest a way!
If you dont want to go through all this you can use Nova launcer and just choose the option to hide the status bar, it will only appear if you swipe down from the top

This is for immersive mode system wide, you will not see the status bar in all apps too.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I LOVE immersive mode but doing it this way is too buggy for me to enjoy
Causes lag dragging the notification bar down and also bugs out in lots of apps (facebook/whatsapp/MEGA) etc
I have a better idea:
download the "Tiles" app from the play store, it has immersive mode option to be turned on and off from the notification panel, added as a tile. run this adb command "adb shell pm grant com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" then you can set it to ask you to turn off everything or different component. You can still swipe up. Also, you can only turn off status bar. etc.
Also, I am personally using the PIE controls app form the play store instead of the gestures since I am unrooted. Works well.

Yes that is. If you swipe up it will appear otherwise it doesn't show.
Is there any way to permanently hide it? I don’t want it coming back when swiping up. Want to replace it with pie.
Is there a way to get a gesture that let's me swipe up to go to home from and screen?. Like webos, Nokia and blackberry 10 had?
I'm trying to find the opposite option. I have a few apps that use immersive mode, but can't use the full screen, leaving annoying black bars. Is there a way to disable immersive mode for these apps so I can keep the navbar and status bar visible?

The app SystemUI Tuner by Zachary Wander, has Immersive Mode. In that category for it you can blacklist app to not use Immersive Mode.

I used systemui tuner.
*edit* I only hide the navbar, I leave status bar. The only thing i've noticed however is that it won't work with stock launcher. Using any other launcher it will hide. I guess we will have to wait until developers update their apps to work with samsung. Same thing happened on my essential phone. had to wait till devs fixed the screen resolution cause of the notch.

Immersive manager
Good day.
I use immersive manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.immersivemodemanager), because it has 2 modes, 'global immersive' and 'per app immersive'. So i can choose which apps use immersive mode.
It can be activated through ADB with a PC.

Go to Settings/Display/Full Screen Apps and change the setting for the offending apps to Full Screen (default is auto). If that doesn't work, then perhaps the apps that are giving the issue don't support it.
I have all of my apps set to full screen and none of them are full screen... I have even used the adb command and all it does is remove the status bar info but I am still stuck with the bar.

This is what I am talking about.

I understand that. All of my apps are set to full screen not auto. If you look at the screen shot that is what Chrome looks like in full screen mode.

Not sure what you have going on, then. The version of chrome that came on the phone is working fine for me in immersive mode. Granted, all that it does is color the top of the screen with the color theme of whatever site I'm on. But, it's definitely not putting a black bar there. So far the apps I've tried, and work: Chrome, Yahoo, Discord, Sync. You sure you don't have "hide front camera" option enabled in the full screen settings?
You are right the bar changes color with the color theme of the website. But i'm looking for a way to remove it. I've tried in settings and with immersive manager via adb and I didn't succeed at the moment.

For me, both the nav/status bar hide when I am in immersive mode. I used Immersive mode manager and it worked fine. Right now just using Button Mapper by Flar2 to map the bixby button to it.
That looks like you are in gesture mode, not immersive mode. I actually prefer gesture mode. Swiping up just to get the bar is a pain.
Does anyone know a method to remove the tinting from the status bar? Making it the same colour as the app headers or even transparent with the background?

Immersive mode

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to get full immersive mode.
I know you can hide the navbar but I'd love to hide the status bar as well and make it so that apps go around the camera hole.
I don't want to hide the hole but want to put the whole screen up so that I don't see in every app the time and all the status bar icons. Thanks a lot!
I want that too, but apparently no app is able to do that on my Galaxy S10. Hope to see that feature available soon!

Please send immersive mode requests to Samsung via feedback, or by emailing them. Right now the adb commands create annoying black bars instead of extending the screen.
I currently don't have my S10 yet, but use 'SystemUI Tuner' on my OnePlus 6 to do immersive mode.

Technically you could remove the black back by going into Settings>Display>Full Screen apps and selecting all to be full screen instead of auto. However this makes removing the status bar useless since even though you don't get the black bar you still do get a bar that's the color of the app. Green for whatsapp for instance. So you're not actually getting any more screen real estate, just hiding the status bar which I find it easier to do through adb instead of any other app which requires you to give more permissions hence to type more in the terminal.
I'm looking for a way to hide the status bar and have the screen go up and around the camera cutout, just like it works on any other phone which doesn't have a camera cutout

Yeah that's the same thing I thought of. I guess on apps you would lose some keys for instance on WhatsApp the ability to make calls... But I still would want to hide the status bar
Samsung makes these awesome panels but makes its almost impossible to remove the static elements opening us up to burn in. Toss us a bone Samsung or use a different display tech!

I opened myself 2 threads about this on xda and one on reddit XD this is soooooooo important to me but no one seems to really care about it much! no one could help how can it be, that folks buy a S10 because of it's infinity display which has very little top and side bezels but are completely fine with a huuuuuuuge statusbar that's just a software bezel because of the bad software.... don't get me started about the possible burn in issues or uneven wear.
the usual adb command don't work
Sammy's own settings in the settings app where you can choose between automatic and fullscreen does nothing
the only thing that worked for me was app cloner so far. I cloned apple music, relay, spotify and tumblr and the difference that it makes is soooo huge!!!! Sammy has to do something about this. Getting all that space back, seeing the content scroll behind and around the punch hole and up to the frame which let's you notice how thin the top bezel really is.... yes on most apps some element get's get blocked by the punch hole, but if you are familiar with the app and know that there is something you can still touch it and it works, or what I do is, triggering one handed mode for a second pressing it and move on. for me that would work. Sammy should put a disclaimer saying, can cause some issues with certain apps and let us use all the apps we wan't in fullscreen/immersive mode. It sure does look better and that's the way I'm gonna be using my S10 after rooting.
please if you have more tips how to get immersive mode, let me know.

Yes of course! like I mentioned before I always use my apps in immersive mode but for once I own a device that's not rooted yet and therefore hasn't a dozen of custom roms with the ability to tweak settings. And because the usual adb commands do nothing I remembered that app cloner had a bunch a display settings which you can mess with. And viola! It has an option to flag apps as immersive mode apps and it actually works! It seems to use a different hook/way to force apps into immersive mode and the result is just beautiful!!! Now you can really enjoy the Display of the S10.
Let me tell ya, after using apps in immersive mode for a hot minute and going back to the stock way sammy intended for us to use the S10, I have to say sammy did only a half hearted job on this. Yeah hardware side is nice but the software side is lacking and not utilizing the hardware. It seems like they didn't now any better and settled on a huge arse statusbar. Maybe because this isn't iOS where developers can develop for specific hardware not like on android.
The Downside? some elements do get in the way and require some kind of a workaround. In this case I settled on using one handed mode which brings the top half part of the screen down revealing those blocked elements by the punch hole. This works so far very good and I'm already used to it. Some elements peak out behind the punch hole so you already know there is something, in this case you can still touch that area because even the punch hole has a digitizer in that area.
S10+amoled theme+Substratum black theme+apps in immersive mode= In my opinion the best way to use this device and forget/never notice punch hole ever.
This should be a bigger deal and more people should talk about this. xda should cover this on the Frontpage.

It's down the game developer to choose what they do. As someone has said it would mean the hole punch is in the way. Wouldn't be great for all games
I've been finding the height of the status bar (as well as the black bar) pretty annoying.
I'm sure there will be a way to get around this (i.e. immersive mode) - might require root though

Google removed the wm overscan function in Android 11, so ADB command and immersive mode don't work without root.
The hight of the status bar is the only thing I don't like about this phone. Makes look cheap.
It's as thick as the notch on the iPhone!
My Note 10's status bar hight is 40% thinner than the Pixel 5. I think if Google had the front camera at the centre instead of the corner of the screen the status bar could be thinner.
Hopefully there will be a non root method soon.
So there's still no way to force all apps to display full screen?
There's a lot phones with the same camera hole, but going full screen as a charm! Its a bad idea to say, its up to game developers. A lot games have nothing in the camera place, but still have a cut black line in landscape mode. And only on the pixel. Im ready to root, but don't know how to get rid of that cut. How to force full screen in landscape?
I'll be waiting for a non root method...
