Trying to run apps and games in fullscreen automatically

Hey guys,
I've searched the net and couldn't find a solution to my problem. I'm trying to run certain applications and games in full screen, I don't want to go into the quick settings each time I want to go in full screen. Is there a way either using xposed or otherwise to enable automatic full screen? Sadly immersive mode in gravitybox doesn't work with the shield.
I don't know why Nvidia didn't enable this feature under their power control settings, I'd expect to see that right below Resolution Rendering but nope... It's kind of an essential feature.
Thanks and happy New years!

Hi,
Maybe a Xposed mod?

I checked already...no

App Settings has an option to launch an app in immersive mode (http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.mods.appsettings)
But, I don't know if it's compatible with Marshmallow.

I'm currently running the LTE 32gb version so no marshmallow for me yet. Immersive mode doesn't work, does it work for you? I think Nvidia shut off immersive mode in place of their full screen mode. I'm just wondering how to activate full screen mode without actually having to go into the app. I even tried using Tasker's autoimput plugin too..to no avail. I tried App settings and gravity box, neither of them work. Immersive mode just doesn't work.

If this does't work.... I haven't tried yet App Settings.
I think, for now, you have to activate the full screen mode manually from the quick settings panel

Meh...yeah I guess I'll have to do that for now, I'll keep at it with autoimput.
Merci mate!

Since the shield has immersive support/Fullscreen support build in maybe we can get this working with tasker somehow ?

app settings 1.11 and 1.13 works fine on LP and I would assume on MM as well, assuming you have the correct xposed installed for your OS.
both are unofficial, do a search here on xda to find it.
I use it on my LTE shield with 5.11 to fullscreen apps automagically with zero issues.
if that is too much to deal with for whatever reason, there is also this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys

Marshmallow Bug

Hi everyone,
can someone confirm if they are also experiencing the overlapping of small apps and navigation menu?

Australian generic ROM looks like your left picture for my small apps, and swiping does the same swipe down small apps gone, swipe back up they appear again

I already figured it out and its a bug when you use an app that is related in "Accessibility". I am using Greenify and instead of using Google Now on tap, when I long press it, I want my screen to lock, then after I enable it, the overlapping will appear, and when I disable it , it will return to original position

Happens with me too when I use "lastpass". Turn off the accessibility option for Lastpass, and it fixes it. I think it would be considered a bug for the build.

Hello,
Yes after an upgrade. Gone after a clean install

Yes that worked. But then Pebble Time won't work. I do use the small apps quite a lot. Eghhh?

t is definitely caused by the accessibility service for Geeenify or any other system optimizing apps for me also. Disabling the accessibility service for them will solve the problem .... i tried it worked out !!

I can suggest that the overlapping problem comes also with tasker when the accessibility service is activated. Disabling the tasker service can resolve the problem but it sacrifices some importatnt tasker fontions. I tryed factory reinstallation but it can't resolve this issue. I have also grenify installed on my xperia z5. There is the same problem with microapps. Really disappointed with this update. The fingerprint funtionalyty is changed also, when you lock your phone with the external program like tasker you can't activate the phone with your fingerprint sensor, the phone asks for a password.

Quick Launching Camera from Lockscreen

I must be missing something but hell if I can figure out how to launch the camera from the lockscreen.
Used to be able to do it with a double power button click on my S8 but on my VZW Pixel 3 it brings up the code unlock first. I find that there are many times I just want to take a quick shot without having to unlock the phone.
For that matter, does Pie offer lockscreen widgets at all?
Thanks for your help.

Yep. Double checked it. Still forcing me to unlock before allowing the camera to launch.

Strange, works for me. It's possible a Device Administrator (work email, etc) is preventing it... They sometimes disable certain functions while the screen is locked.

Yeah that's why I came here to ask. It doesn't seem to make sense. Especially since I have not set this up for work stuff yet.
Is there a general lockscreen widget area?

I would check Settings > Security > Advanced > Device admin apps to make sure there is not an administrator enabled that could be interfering.

AFAIK support for lock screen widgets was removed in Lollipop.

Ah, yes, those were the days (pre-Lollipop) when my lockscreen was super useful and interactive, and so was my notification ticker in the status bar. I feel like an old man now remember how good things USED to be. lol
But to the OP, something is clearly wrong as this feature is turned on by default on Pixel devices. Try a factory reset. You can backup your phone to your computer using the adb backup and restore commands.

Did you select Camera as default app when launching with the phone unlocked? The first time it will give you the "open with" dialog. For me it was Camera and Snapchat. I selected camera and always, and now can launch camera from anywhere.

I noticed this as well. OP, are you having the app selection menu popup after entering your pin?

Press the power button twice to activate the camera from the lock screen. Can't activate the camera from the touch screen

Kinda sucks though it doesn't work if u have a passcode it still needs entering to use the camera

No, it'll work. You can't view pictures taken before using the camera unless you unlock

I try and get this screen

Works for me with pattern lock, don't use pin.

Just go to the camera settings then scroll down and turn on Quick launch

Enter your pin, and select one of your camera apps as "always" then it'll allow you to skip the pin when you double tap. ?

Thank you for the tip!

I hope by now the problem has been resolved, I was also looking out how to access the camera from the lock screen and it turns out (thanks to advice from friends not from anything I found from the many internet searches) that if you click the power button twice the camera pops up. You can check this by going to Settings- System - Gestures - Jump to Camera.

Quick Settings Toggle

Just received the Mi 10 Pro. Anyone advise on the quick settings toggle when swipe down? There are only 12 options unlike previous phones and no way to change their order as far as I can find... the settings wheel in the top corner takes you to phone settings. Thanks in advance guys.

Strange...Here is mine. I swipe right on the first page of toggles and there is Edit at the end. Global version.

Yup, global version here too. MIUI global 11.0.2 stable 11.0.2.0(QJAMIXM). Yours the same MIUI version?

Yes, exact same. This makes no sense to me. It looks like you only have one page of toggles?

Makes no sense to me either, limited options and can't arrange most used to the top... maybe someone will be able to shine a light on it

Hi.
I have MIU version 11.0.10 on the global model And he doesn't show up either. With how useful it is.

This is a known issue, when restoring from a backup. Just reset the quick toggles: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/how-to-reset-restore-quick-setting-to-t3671583
This should fix it

Thx for that... no backup as first Xiaomi... and the link there to Google+ is no more...

Hola
1. This is a known bug but seemingly only affecting certain people.
2. The easiest way to fix this without the tedious resetting of your phone approach is to download System UI Tuner and reset the Quick Settings to the default configuration. You'll find the Edit button thereafter.
3. I had this issue on my Mi 10 - Global version running on the latest v11 of Xiaomi.EU custom ROM.
Hope this helps.

The link is not needed... Run the adb command... You might have to enable USB debugging and USB debugging (secure settings)

Hi.
Using this method with the app System UI will not affect when an update arrives?

Thanks a million that has sorted it out.... kept coming up with ADB server version doesn't match client but somehow figured it out adding just the line of code, restarted phone and the 2 page quick toggle menu is there along with the ability to edit it.

Restore Developer options

Hi, does anyone know how to reset developer options to default? Or can you send me a screenshot of how they are by default?
I have activated them and scrolling through them I have accidentally pressed something but I do not remember how it was before.
Thanks for your time.

Almost at the end of the list, you should have "reset to default values."

Hi, I don't have that option.
Could you send me a screenshot with the default options?

Looks like it's about 5 or 6 from the bottom.

Thanks and how do I check that it really restores the default values?
If I leave the HD audio option activated, it remains the same after using that option.
