I modified the waterfall cutout for someone else that has a Pixel 5 if you want to try it. You have to have roort. Flash in Magisk manager.

Status Bar always visible

I was looking for anything to make the status bar visible when I turn off the screen.
Like, I turn off the screen and I can still see the status bar.
Is there a way to do that? Does anybody know anything like that?
Thanks!

There is option of daydream in screen settings (in android since 4.2 or 4.3), where you can enable basic info to be shown when phone is charging or docked. I use it and it looks nice. However it is not possible while phone is not connected to anything.
hm..too bad....thanks

I tried some, but DashClock Widget seems the most optimal app for that.

[Q] Nav and stat bar translucency

I don't think so. But there are apps which can force the status & navigation bar dissappear (like immersive mod) if you are interested.

I was hoping for a different answer
Tinted Status plugin and build.prop wont help? Is the translucency part of the app?

I don't know :|. . Basically it will force the bars to pull down and you can bring them back with swipe(it's more like full screen with instant access to the bars) . (you activate the feature from power menu)
I hope that I helped

Yes you can. There's an Xposed module called force kitkat traslucent bars os something like, however I have tested it and disabled. Yes apps look awesome, but the problem is that as the bars become traslucent, the app doesn't detect they are there, what makes it impossible to press some buttons and creates some inconsistency on the notification bar. In my opinion even though it looks much better than black bars, I wouldn't enable it because of functionality, but it's up to you, you should try and see if it is worth

Like in the pics?
I'm using bxActions, Stock rom, no root. One of the options is full screen on/off and It works also on home screen.
There is an option in the nav bar settings to do this also. If you go to settings, display and navigation bar it is the top option.

That option is to hide or show the button on left of navigaton bar. Not to hide navigation bar itself.

It does hide the nav bar. you'd have to swipe up to make it appear much like in Macs well except on the homescreen.

The toggle u r talking abt in settings does not hide nav bar but little dot button on left side of Nav Bar sure does it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Force ImmersiveMode/Hide Statusbar without root!?

Hi, is there like a adb command or something else that can help me to display all my apps in fullscreen?

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.

on one ui? which one do you have a link?
I also used System UI Tuner but in immersive mode there is only a black bar on top.
I didn't find a way for full immersive mode yet.

this makes your device full immersive mode permanent.
Full Time - Immersive Mode
(Permanently hide status and nav bar, restart device afterwards)
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*

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.

Sorry to ask, does the black bar covers the screen all the way down the camera holes?
it could be a stupid sugestion, but i saw a review video that the owner removes that black bar in an settings option .
I don't currently own the phone, so i cannot help you any further.
Having same issue with bar across the top. I have full immersive on Nova launcher but not on any apps.

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.
Bar across top
This is what I am talking about.
What i as saying in my response (at minute 2:48)
https://youtu.be/37ImrfsFoxc?t=168
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.

I've done this of course but I'm looking for a browser that goes full screen.
This setting works for youtube and the home but not for all apps (like chrome or samsung internet browser) where the black bar unfortunately is still there.

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?

Can't hide it in chrome.
Some games go full screen, some don't.
You can get apps that hide it, not tried any though
it seems to be app dependant.

Well that's a pain in the ass
Maybe I'm missing something but isn't that where the hole punch camera is? Without that wouldn't you have a hole in the app that obstructs the picture? I wish all apps did that.

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...
