Hello all, I know I've personally missed Immersive mode as it helps me stress out less about burn-in. Hopefully someone else finds this workaround useful!
What this tutorial will do:
Allow you to simulate status bar immersive mode on the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra on any app.
The status bar will be hidden unless dragged down, in which case it will display momentarily
Your camera notch will be completely ignored in apps – meaning that, as far as I am aware of, there is no way to get apps to avoid that small circle – you may find this annoying
Exclude certain apps from acting in immersive mode
Help preserve your Mi 11’s OLED screen by not having status bar elements constantly at the top of the screen.
Caveats:
This is not like traditional immersive mode in that you cannot toggle it on/off with a quicksettings tile, pie control, etc. You’re basically going to want to switch it on for applicable apps & leave it on.
You have to enable the appropriate settings to any new apps you install.
I have only tried this on my phone, which is a Chinese Mi 11 Ultra using the Xiaomi.EU ROM, MIUI version 13.0.12 stable.
Requires Lsposed/Magisk root, so you may have issues with google pay, bank apps, etc.
I am not responsible for any issues you have, including but not limited to: Glitches, bugs, your alarm failing, you finding the punchhole ugly, you losing your job, your phone spontaneously combusting, your partner leaving you, nuclear war, etc.
I do not know if any other Magisk/Lsposed modules will affect this. I currently use GravityBox and WooBox, & Greenify (donation) & have no issues.
Prerequisites:
Must be rooted with Magisk
Must have Lsposed installed
Instructions:
Install the Magisk Module, called “AOSP Mods”. Install the Magisk version. I do not know if the Lsposed-only version will work. I used the canary build (canary-123, as of 8/30/2022)
Link: https://github.com/siavash79/AOSPMods
Install WeiJu, but NOT the publicly available one from 2020 on GitHub, but the one available on this thread post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-adb-shell-or-terminal.4434725/#post-86809981
Enable the AOSP Mods module in Magisk
Enable the AOSP Mods module in Lsposed & ensure “System UI” is enabled. You can keep “System Framework” & “Phone services” enabled if they are by default, but I haven’t noticed a difference when switching them off (yet) – it may have to do with other functionalities within AOSP Mods.
Enable the Weiju module in Lsposed
In Lsposed, select EVERY app that you want to be in immersive mode
Reboot your phone.
Open Weiju
Tap the gear icon in the upper-right corner
Tap “Template”
Tap “Config Template”
Tap Status Bar
Tap “Open”
Tap the checkbox next to “Hide”
Tap the back button.
Optional: Open “Navigation bar” & repeat steps 13-15. I personally use GravityBox for this, so I find this unnecessary, but if you don’t want to install GravityBox, this is another option. It is also available in AOSP Mods as a universal option, so again, I don’t recommend doing it this way, but it’s ultimately up to you.
Tap the back button
Check “Auto apply template”
Tap the back button 2 times
Tap the “select app” button
Add EVERY app you want to be in “immersive” mode (yes, again)
Open the AOSP Mods app
Tap “Status Bar”
Tap “Miscellaneous”
Switch “Ignore the camera cutout” to On
Tap the back button
Tap “Status Bar”
Scroll down to “Statusbar Padding”
Pull down your notification shade & make sure Auto-rotate is set to on.
Slide the left slider to the right a bit (I recommend 7.5, but YMMV)
Tilt your phone until it switches to landscape mode, then tilt it back to portrait
Check your notification icons & make sure you can see them all & they aren’t cut off (unless you want them to be?). The slider gives the notification bar a margin so that notifications don’t disappear behind the camera cutout.
Reboot one last ime
You’re done! Remember, if you want to enable or disable this “immersive” mode on any apps, including new ones you install, go to both the Weiju module settings in Lsposed, and in the Weiju app itself, and enable/disable said apps.
If you have any questions, feel free to respond. I’ll try to help you, but I’m pretty busy in my personal life & I’m no programmer, just an android enthusiast who stumbled upon a fix from being too stubborn to give up on my OLED screen.
Also if you are just worried about status bar burn in or just to hide it except on pull down, you could use nova launcher and select hide status bar.

I use Nova Launcher, and I did on my OnePlus 7 Pro as well & used the "hide status bar" on Nova, but still got burn in from when my status bar would be visible on other apps - but I didn't on my navbar since I used/use Pie Controls.
I eventually started using immersive mode on that phone, but by then it was too late. Granted I used that phone for a little over 3 years & I needed a new phone anyway so it is what it is, just had to deal with that ugliness for a while.
This is on a new level entirely - it makes the status bar hidden until you pull it down on every app (unless you make exceptions).
In fact, this even frees up the extra 1/2cm that the statusbar takes up on Nova Launcher with hidden status bar enabled, as seen below:

-volume controllers
-lock button to minimize accidental input of your bar and soft buttons
-(Experimental)(ROOT) Fullscreen button
-access all your apps in StartMenu as well as categories such as Pictures, Music, Settings, etc.

-Customize the appearance of your bar and menu.
Future features:
-Folders
There's a 10days-trial version available here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stephapps.deskbar
And the license key at $2.49 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stephapps.deskbarkey

Nice
Thanks guys,
I'm working on a white theme but I have no idea for other themes :silly:.
Hey let's have a little contest. Submit your custom theme (no copyright stuff please), and if it's selected to be inserted into the app, you'll have an unlimited trial :laugh: (similar to a paid version, I have sadly no easy way to directly give away the paid version ) and your name in the app credits of course.
What's needed:
-background for Deskbar
-background for the StartMenu
-2 images for pressed and normal StartButton states.
You might need to use 9patch for the 2 first ones.
I absolutely love this app! This is exactly what I have been looking for! If I may recommend some features for in the future, I prefer to have half of the bar so I can access my notifications, but it's difficult to reach the navigation icons in the middle. Could there be an option to have them appear under the start menu above the lock screen button? I'm also curious if the applications on the bar could be changed from shortcuts to the most recent apps. That might not be possible, but it would be a very useful feature as there already is a quick shortcut option under the start menu. Love your work and I'm excited to see the direction of this app!
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
Hello, thanks for your nice feedback!
You're the second person to ask for the virtual buttons to be in the start menu, so I think I will try to add it soon.
For recent apps, it won't be easy to add it to the bar. In start menu it will be easier but might be less interesting.
When selecting "pictures" under the start button on my gt-p3113 and Galaxy S3 the gallery starts to open but then crashes with the message "unable to find item". This happens regardless of the default gallery I choose. Other than that id just like to say I really love this app. With ubuntu style sidebars getting a lot of attention lately I feel this needs equal if not more and I will recommend this to everyone. Keep up the great work! Also I think it would be nice if users could adjust the amount of time it takes for the bar to disappear and perhaps the option for the bar to stay until the user decides to swipe it away.
How is this uninstalled? When i deactivate from Google Play it does nothing, nor can i uninstall from apps manage?
Tried to remove this from device admin, but it doesn't appear there, so no way to uninstall
You enabled the administrative mode to allow the app to lock the screen on demand. You need to disable this lock screen feature first to be able to uninstall (as stated when you tick the option).
Beta question
is there a beta apk where some feature are in beta are tested?
if so, I would like to help test the beta version.
Very nice app, using it on my Samsung Galaxy player running Gingerbread 2.3, which has no virtual nav keys. I can't find any option in settings to disable the autohide function, so I can keep the bar on screen. Am I missing something here, or is it because the Galaxy Player doesn't actually have its own soft keys and a nav bar?
Would certainly like to purchase this app, if I can get the bar to stop autohiding.
EDIT: Well, I installed deskbar on my Touchpad and the option to disable autohide is there. So, it looks like for some reason, it doesn't show up on my Galaxy Player 4.0 running Gingerbread 2.3.
Thanks,
Mike T
Is development still going on?
I contacted the dev but didn't get any answers yet.
can't find it
The app is no longer in google play. does anyone know where I can download it?
I write this thread to discuss and share your ways to remove and replace the navigation bar on your Samsung device.
To enhance the usage of tiny bezel screen, people try different methods and apps to remove and use other app to navigate with gesture and pie control. I tried several method but still not satisfied so I want to hear your method.
So please share:
- The app or the method that you use to remove the navigation bar
- The app replacing native nav bar that you use to navigate
- Advantage and disadvantage of these apps.
So I start first:
- I use Navigation Gesture from XDA to remove and replace native nav bar (gesture navigation)
- The disadvantage I see is that because the use overscan method to remove the nav bar so it mat break some UI. For example, Samsung internet tabs alignment, edge lighting, the grey background when a windows is pop up. And the gesture navigation is not work on the overlay apps like facebook messenger chat head.

I will list here some methods that I tried:
- Using overscan : Using overscan manually by adb will crop the lockscreen so then I using apps that Navigation Gesture using the same method but it will fix your lockscreen
- Using Substratum System Mod overlay - remove immersive nav bar: this method seem fix almost all the UI problem (crop screen, edge lighting, pop up windows, Samsung internet tabd alignment) but it still has disadvantage is there will be a gap when using keyboard. Moreover it difficult to find the gesture navigation app to use with this method because the pill is not always at the bottom.
Now I am trying using the native hide bar on Samsung (double click the dot on nav bar) and using OnePlus Gestures app to navigation. The advantage of that is it not break UI, the Oneplus Gestures app work on any overlay app (facebook messenger, even native nav bar). But the advantage is everytime you swipe the old native nav bar will show.
The best way for me so far
I tried almost all app to remove and replace the navigation bar for my Samsung S9 but all of them facing serval crop screen and app UI issue. For example Samsung Internet new tabs alignment, Crop grey backgound when windows popping up (I will attache screenshot below.)
And now I think I found the best way so far to fix all these issue
- "Oneplus Gestures" is best one for me for the alternative app to replace the navigation bar because not like others, the pill of this app is always at the bottom (not shift) and it work on overlays app (ex: FB messenger)
- "Hide Nav Bar" is the app that I choose to remove the native nav bar but for now it has some issue which cropping some app and I have solution for that. You have to enable global immersive mode then exclude the apps that cropped. So far I found these apps need to exclude: Smart Capture, Edge Widget, Instagram, Gallery. By filter immersive mode for these app you could use "Immersive Mode Manager" app or just write this adb command
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=apps,-com.samsung.android.app.smartcapture,-com.samsung.android.app.widgetedge,-com.instagram.android,-com.sec.android.gallery3d
- Not finish yet, the fix other UI issue (Samsung Internet, Gallery) you need to use "Routines" app belong to Good Lock 2018 app to use Samsung Hide Nav Bar for Samsung Internet and Gallery app.
Then enjoy your edge to edge screen with gesture navigation. This work around fix all my issue when remove and replace navigation bar on my S9. If you find other issue feel free to discuss.

i use the gestures in samsung one hand operation+ in good lock
Gesture control is pretty much perfect for me.
Got three zones:
Bottom:
tap for recents
swipe up for home
swipe up and hold for splitscreen
Left and right:
swipe for back
The only noticable problem is the 1px white line at the bottom and the free navigation bar space only in samsung music.
I like for perfectism while using xda pill will get lock screen shortcut issue
I use hide navigation by modify build.prop and all in one gesture that work fine
Home force touch button didnt work in enture but still workable in screen off for unlock. And doesnt impact for DEX mode against xda gesture (surely u can blacklist for Dex app)
I tried GMD gesture but most times dun work in edge swipe
Still chasing for the perfect method
I came here because I couldn't tap my smart capture buttons after hiding my nav bar with Hide Nav Bar but now its solved thanks to the detailed solution provided above. I didn't follow all the steps, I just downloaded ImmersiveManager and blacklisted the Samsung Capture app and turned on navigation mode as immersive setting.
I'm using OnePlusGestures with bottom swipe left and right for recents and back, respectively. Samsung's hard home press works even when the built-in Samsung's hide nav bar dot disabled with Hide Nav Bar and ImmersiveManager. Need both these apps to make hard home press work everywhere, though. I'm sad that the latest security patch for Note 9 got rid of hard home press gestures for recents and back. I'd prefer the original Samsung pressure-sensitive gestures over what OnePlusGestures offer.
All I want to say to the Android OS lead designers in charge of stock navigation schemes... You ****ing suck at your job. Even without the hardware to support stuff like pressure sensitive gestures, is it so damned difficult to get rid of that ugly ass **** down there? Its a poor use of screen real-eatate (just like your company's idea for a notch) and a culprit of screen burn-in. SMH.
Also used to use Navigation-Gestures by XDA before switching to RR-Rom - There is a feature called 'Fling' which I prefer now because the overall-look is better and more customizable...
Completely agree about the "Fling" feature, I've been using it on Dirty Unicorns for OnePlus, too.
But please, tell me: how is RR ROM compared to stock Samsung OneUI ?
I'm not rooted yet because of the well known HWC issue, but I'd like to know first hand from an actual user: how does RR perform?
I'm interested on overall smoothness, i.e. no dropped frames during animations.
Thanks in advance!

XDA-Developers: Customize the Google Pixel 2’s Active Edge to do any action with Edge Sense Plus [XDA Spotlight]
What is Edge Sense Plus?
Edge Sense Plus was initially just meant for the HTC U series. It let's you customize the squeeze action and adds some more squeeze gestures and features.
But with the Pixel2 and Pixel3 also coming with a squeezable frame I found a way to make it compatible too.
Since google locked active edge down to just only be able to start Assistant it will require a device rooted with magisk
Requirements
You need to run a STOCK based ROM, because Active Edge is broken on AOSP roms.
You need to be rooted with magisk to use it.
Install the Active Edge System Mod Magisk Module from the MagiskManager Repo and the EdgeSensePlus from the playstore and you are ready to go!
Telegram Group
Join Telegram Edge Sense Plus Group
How does it work
To make it working on the Pixel3 I had to modify the SystemUIGoogle.apk that runs the ElmyraService (Service that processes the squeeze gestures).
I intercept the events and pass them to the EdgeSensePlus Application that starts the appropriate action then that you selected.
Some more adjustments were made, so the squeezing also works when you are in immersive mode, camera or when Google Assistant is deactivated/uninstalled.
What can it do?
Custom actions:
Currently you can choose from over different actions
Quickly Start camera - Also when screen is off and locked
Per App Action - Execute different squeeze actions depending in what app you are!
Sidebar
Gesture Panel - Draw custom gestures to start different actions
Custom App
Shortcuts - e.g. to make direct calls, start tasker tasks and more!

Per app actions:
With the per app action, you can define different squeeze actions per app. So the chosen action will be executed dependent in what app you are currently are.
Double Squeeze: (Premium)
If you often accidentally trigger a short squeeze, that won't happen anymore if you map your desired action to the double squeeze gesture.
You can define a double squeeze interval, to ensure you are quick enough to trigger it every time.
Long Squeeze:
Missed a long squeeze action on your Pixel? Edge Sense Plus has it!
G-Sensor usage: (Premium)
If enabled, will be able to execute different actions depending on the current position of your device, whether it is flat or upright in your hand.
That way you can have six different squeeze gestures: short, long, doublepress in flat or upright device position.
Media control:
The media control will override your set squeeze actions while media is playing so you can control your media.
That includes play/pause, increase/decrease volume and skip to next and previous track.
Squeeze sounds:
Ever thought it would be funny if a squeeze of your Pixel3 would make a sound, if it is a *click*, *oink* , *fart* or whatever you think of?
You can use any .mp3 file to make that happen!
Sidebar:
The Sidebar has 4 different panels, Applications, Shortcuts, Recent Apps (Premium), Quicksettings (Premium).
Panel colors are customizable
Instructions
You must be on at least Oreo 8.1 to to be able to use it. Root with Magisk is required since the magisk module is mandatory!
It is recommended to have a working TWRP backup in case something goes wrong. Check the FAQ for help too.
Like always: Flash on your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damaga to your device
Flash the Magisk Module either in Magisk Manager or TWRP
Install Edge Sense Plus
Enjoy.
Downloads
Now also available via the MagiskManager Repo:
I recommend to install and update the Magisk Module directly via the MagiskManager repository directly in the MagiskManager app.
All releases will be also available on the GitHub repository

Sure, those shortcuts can launch the short and long squeeze actions, but are actually just required for non rooted HTC devices or AOSP Roms on Pixel.
You can hide those in Edge Sense Plus in the Configuration section, it is the very last option in this section and called "App drawer shortcuts".

There was an issue with may patch where google added some more restrictions when starting apps in background.
I fixed that with an update to Edge Sense Plus by starting a shell command to start it. You are on latest version of the app I guess though?
I have not much Pixel 3a users to test. But it works on the regular pixel 2 and 3. Can you maybe join the telegram group and share a logcat?

I don't know why, but Google just avoid adding NFC switch to top menu to fast turn on and off. I have NFC widget, but it's third party app that's just a shortcut to settings menu, not the actual switch. Any help?
If you have root you will add nfc toggle to quick setting over macrodroid
There is a toggle for NFC in quick settings. Just pull down quick settings twice, then edit on the left and you'll see it. Press and hold it to move it to the top 6 if you like.
Without root you can run an Automate flow to add a NFC tile: https://llamalab.com/automate/community/flows/35435

No, there isn't anything like that in my Pixel 5. I've checked it even now, wondering if I miss it first time, but unfortunately there is no such shortcut in that menu.

How to open/execute the downloaded file?
You would need to install the Automate app through the Play Store. You will find a "Community" button in the side menu. There you can search for "NFC tile" for instance.
Quick Settings - Apps on Google Play
Fully exploit the potential of quick settings
play.google.com
Add custom Quick Settings tiles for pretty much everything.
Open app -> System (no root) -> NFC -> Enable tile
Pull down notification bar x2 to open quick settings. Tap the pencil icon on the bottom left.
Find the tile you just enabled and drag it to the top.

The phone is on latest OTA and completely stock. Also, I don't use any customization app.
If rooted try a custom ROM. First thing I need to do is actually turn NFC off.
Are you rooted?
I've tried 4 ROMs and all are amazing with different features depending on what you're looking for.
I believe stock though also has this setting.
And Playstore has many Apps to mess with.

Here's a screenshot of my Pixel 5, the NFC toggle is the second from the right:

The phone is on latest OTA and completely stock. Also, I don't use any customization app.

Here's my two screens of all options I got (no third party apps). As you can see, there is no NFC toggle tile.

Hey are you rooted?
I just tried it myself with the app. The first tap took me to the settings while asking for superuser permissions, and after I granted SU, the second tap onwards toggled the actual NFC.
So I think the direct NFC toggling (via this app) requires root.
Shortcutter is a nice little so supported by a wonderful Dev.

Thx, but it's still shortcut, which I already have installed via Quick settings app.
Title says it all really, its a pain to go deep into the settings menu every time I want to turn it on/off. Is it possible to add it to the quick panel or a button on the home screen?
Additionally being able to add it to a Bixby routine would be great, but think that might need to be left to Samsung!
I'm interested as well. This is built into a12, but since I rolled back I miss the option.
Why would you want to turn it off? I will turn it off once every few months and run the battery down to completely flat then a full charge just to keep it on it's toes. Why would you do it regularly?
Personally, I'm looking for the phone to cease charging at 85% automatically. I think this may be what the OP is after - pls correct me if I'm wrong.
So it is very much a case of first world problems but as follows;
The phone has the option to protect the battery settings > device care > battery > more battery settings > 'protect battery' which stops charging at 85%.
I usually have it switched on as I work from home, as well as fast charging turned off.
However sometimes when I'm going out for the day I want to quickly be able to toggle off the protect battery option without having to dive into the menus.
For example with Bixby routines I can make a button on the home screen to toggle fast charging on/off if needed, but it's not possible with the 'protect battery' option
I use an app called 'Shortcutter' and you can get any setting as a tile on your quick panel

This is not available in a11. I had it in 12 before I downgraded. The battery is vastly superior in my experiences on 11 so I'm sticking with it. I'm on the hunt to keep a11 and get this option back - and without having to use Bixby in any capacity.
I can recommend Tasker. It allows you to add a QS tile with a custom script. The toggle to switch is a global variable called "protect_battery" and can be 0 or 1 (off or on). You can toggle it in Tasker with =:=toggle=:= you only need to give it adb permission once
EDIT: Here is the Tasker task: https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=...=&id=Task:Toggle+Battery+Protection+(Samsung)
To add it to the QS tile go to Tasker > Settings > Action > Quick Settings Tasks and add it there. Then add Tasker's QS tile. You could even give it an icon. That's just how I'd do it

Thanks will give it a go
Got the button working, so many thanks for that. I don't suppose you have a method for also toggling super fast charging at the same time? I've been able to incorporate a Bixby routine to turn it on via a notification, but that doesn't work turning it back off. Obviously this one I could toggle separately but in the same button would be perfect

Yes, I do. It's a global variable called "super_fast_charging" which is also toggleable. Just a hint: if you go into tasks and add a "custom setting" there is a magnifying glass. Tap on that and hit "Find" or "Search" (not sure what it is called in English). Now toggle the things you want to have in the Settings app once. Tap on the magnifying glass again and it will show which variables have changed.
Keep in mind that some variables are global, others are system or secure. But most variables from the Settings app are in global

Can you confirm what version of Android you're on? I can't seem to get this to work on 11 but it may be user error in Tasker on my part.
What part isn't working? You have to actually add the button to the quick panel before it shows up if that's the issue?

That was much more simple than what I was trying, thanks for your help!
Looks like this feature is coming to Bixby routines in one UI 4.1
Yes.
New actions for Bixby Routines
You can now create routines that change your watch face or turn on advanced settings like Protect battery.
