[Q] Is there a way to DISABLE Immersive Mode ?

There are certain games that triggers Immersive mode by default. Is there a way to disable this? Because I tried Power Toggles and All In One Gestures but the game forces full screen with the navigation bar ovelapping on part of it's screen. It overlaps on some buttons so it's annoying.

Force NAVBAR on the right in Android 5.0?

Hi, so my SHIELD Tablet has Android 5.0, and i saw a guide previously on how an XPOSED module can force the Softkeys (Navbar) to be on the right side and stay there. However, as of Android 5.0 and ART, XPOSED does no longer work (for now), and i need another ROOT solution. Is there any other app that can force my Navbar to be forced to stay in any orientation on the right side (portrait bottom)? Would be nice to hear back from you guys.

Good mood droid Auto hide softkeys, in the play store. Left or right in landscape and bottom in portrait.

Thanks, but i dont want them to hide, i only want them to stay in the portrait mode and not rotate with the screen. Auto Hide Softkeys works, however it makes the softkeys an overlay if i decide to put the action on what makes the bar dissappear again on none of the buttons or touch clicks and set the timer to 10000ms. That doesnt make it dissappear, however it does make it so that things can go under the buttons, but i want them to stay where they are and be like hardware keys. Is there any way doing that?

Nav Buttons Always Visible?

I hate the idea that the nav bar disappears when you are playing a game, has anyone found a way of making the nav buttons always stay visible even in full screen? This would please me
Thanks

Pull up from the button in the game so you see the buttons plus the icon for the menu beside them. Press menu and set full screen off and reboot as it will tell you to.

In some games, turning off full screen still hides the nav

Full time nav display S8
Same here. Love my S8. Just set up my DeX today...amazimg. only thing I don't like is the soft keys for the nav bar on bottom. But, there's an easy fix. Pull up the bar and you'll see a little hollow circle to the left. Tap it. It will turn solid and turn your soft keys to a fixed, always on navigation bar! Love it. Now it is the perfect device. I HIGHLY recommend the DeX btw. Its a game changer for any business person on the go who needs multiple full office set ups. Hope this helped!

Hi. Can you tell me please what is DeX and how to set it up? Thank you.

Dex is a dock to allow you to use the s8 as a chrome book, just add a blutooth keyboard and mouse connect the HDMi from the DEX to a tv or monitor and you now have a chrome book running from your phone, oh and it charges it as well

Rotate Button not appearing in nav bar

I'm running Android P DP2. I can't get the rotate button to appear in the nav bar. I've tried it in GMail, Inbox, Chrome, and several other apps. I've tried it with auto-rotate enabled and disabled. Has anyone found a setting to enable the button in the nav bar?

As far as I know it only appears when auto rotate is disabled. Working fine here. It's a very small button maybe you're just not noticing it.

I've tapped all along the nav bar and nothing activates, so even if it was invisible for some reason, I should have hit it, but saw no activity or touch indication until I get to the back triangle or home button...

It only stays on the navbar for around 2 seconds then disappears. It is noticeable as it has a small animation. Don't know why it shouldn't show on yours. Have you tried rebooting the phone & trying again.

Several times.

I am also facing the same issue on my Pixel 2 XL, using the official Android 9.0 stable build.
Just curious, did you modify your nav bar in any way before updating to the developmental build? Because I did (swapped my Back and Recent buttons), and I am not sure if that was the cause.

Changing nav bar buttons order with Android Pie
With Android Pie a new contextual button appeared in the navigation bar. If you swap buttons without mentioning this new one it will disappear. In order to save it you should issue something like this:
adb shell 'settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space[0.74],recent;home;back,contextual[0.48]"'
What in square brackets fine tunes the position of recent and back buttons (values above seem nice to me for Xiaomi A2 lite).
Reset to default would be by means of
adb shell 'settings put secure sysui_nav_bar ""'

immersive mode customizations

So I've enabled immersive mode with ADB commands. I'm wondering if there's any ADB commands to make the nav bar stay on longer when I swipe up to reveal it? Sometimes the nav bar goes away to fast and I end up accidentally tapping on something I wasn't intending to.
Also, my keyboard does not appear with the back and home button at the bottom. There's a black bar where those nav buttons should be and I have to swipe up to reveal them. Is there away I can make the nav bar stay just only for the keyboard?
Thanks for any help!

Are you using the fluid navigation gestures app?

No, what app is that? Do I need to root my phone to use it?

Here's the app:

No root needed. Just read the instructions.
