Immersive mode for games stock - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
can anyone tell me why Immersive mode doesn't work for certain games like NightSky and Kingdom Rush?
They seem to start in full-fullscreen (1080x1920) and the the navbar appears on top of the screen and cuts off the right edge.
Is this related to the forced landscape mode in those games? (It worked for the game SimpleRockets for me, which uses portrait in the menu)
I tried it by using the Xposed module Immerse Me, which did work for normal apps, but as said some games didn't.
Best regards,
Philipp

Screen Orientation Suggestion

Firstly, thanks so much for all the work you guys did and shared here.
I've noticed that the default screen orientation is landscape for VEGAn-Tab and probably for TnT Lite also, which brings all the games with tilting control useless. It's also a headache for people who got used to portrait screen on phones (eg. reading in bed while placing the tab on side). Is there a way to change the default orientation to portrait in some Mod version? Or there is a way to fix this already that I didn't realize?
Saying "default at landscape" I mean when you lock the orientation/shut the auto rotate or start a game, the screen locks at landscape. For example, while playing those racing game or so, we have to tilt front/back to actually control the car to left/right -_-
Thanks!
Some games actually work, so I think the general understanding is that other games have something hardcoded incorrectly, for tablets. This is also the reason why the vendors themselves haven't fixed this, yet.
There is a way to rotate the screen to portrait, in Froyo. But, the calibration is totally borked, when you do that.

[Q] Meganoid and rotation sticking

I'm curious if anyone has seen a similar relationship: I have read several posts about devices that will randomly stop rotating, and only a reboot will restore the function. I had never experienced this problem until installing and playing Meganoid yesterday. After playing I noticed that the screen will sometimes stop rotating, either getting stuck in landscape, or refusing to switch to landscape. I contacted the developer and was told that they don't mess with the rotation settings so its not their problem. However, I noticed after launching the game that the notification bar switched to landscape even when I am holding the phone in portrait (similar to most games...). I have since uninstalled Meganoid and now have no problems with the rotation sensor (note, I have several other games that play in landscape). Any thoughts or similar experiences?

[Q] G-sensor Acting funny

Guys,
My GTab is acting weird when I tried some games like Heavygunner, Krazykart and a few others.
The problem is that this games works in landscape mode but it seems that the picture keep spinning to the right and only stop if i put the tablet in portraid mode.... but again the picture still on landscape.
I am making myself clear?
For example: Krazykart... the game shows in landscape but for the car stay steady i have to put the tablet in portraid but the game is running on landscape.
I tried to go to settings and uncheck the g-sensor but no luck... all that does is take off the ability to control tilting it.
Is not on every game that this is hapening and funny is i have another tablet without g-sensor and this games works fine.
Is anybody have the games that I mention above working on gtab with no problems?
If you do, can you tell me where I can download and what version (rom) are you using?
Btw, I am using sotck (the latest version) because wife like it...
Appreciated any info.

[Q] Android stick + portrait mode

Hey guys,
I'm currently working on a dashboard, developed in HTML and CSS and i want to display this dashboard on a tv screen (screen hanging vertically). The problem is that the TV screen itself does not have a native portrait mode so i googled around and found the android stick which "might" solve this issue.
Is there any android stick you guys know of that can force the display (of say an app like Chrome) into portrait mode? I have a google chromecast but it doesnt seem to do the trick.
Try the app ultimate Rotation control. This fixed my problem the other way round. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate

Black HBO Max video display (tablet landscape mode) and for *some* other video apps (Galaxy S6 Lite)

I'm looking at a strange problem that arose suddenly -- I'm not sure when since I had not run any of the affected apps on the tablet recently. When I run HBO Max -- which of course switches to landscape mode before actually running a video -- I end up only with a black screen overlaid with the stop/start/forward/back controls, etc. The horizontal (selection) part of the app is fine. I have tried obvious things like changing settings, wiping data, uninstalling and reinstalling. At some point this was all working such fine.
However, this is not the only app behaving in a similar manner. Both Sling and Criterion are doing much the same on this Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite. In their cases, I do get the video on portrait mode, and lose it in landscape mode. On Sling, I DO see the video in landscape mode momentarily when I select forward or back, or while seeking.
A lot of other apps like YouTube, Pluto, and a whole bunch of others are displaying fine in landscape mode. My guess is that this has something to do with DRM for the premium apps, yet Sling and Criterion *are* displaying video OK in portrait mode. Only HBO Max is totally useless since it has no portrait mode display that I'm aware of.
Any ideas? A factory reset of the tablet is really out of the question. Thanks.
