Trying to run apps and games in fullscreen automatically - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Enable and disable rotation a couple of times in settings and you will get it back.

It's neither in the quick settings, nor in the proper settings menu
i guess there is no other way but backup and factory reset
You need to go to Accessibility > Auto-rotate screen and enable it, then the icon will be shown on quick setting.

[APP] [4.3+] Hold Back To Kill [ROOT]

Here is an app that allows you to hold your back button to kill the currently open application.
If popularity is high enough, I will update it with things like whitelist etc.
If you use a Samsung device, the only problem is that you can't show the MultiWindow bar anymore. I will work on a fix for it. I only made this because xposed doesn't work on Samsung Lollipop yet so this is what I wanted until it is. Once it works, I prolly won't ever touch this app again.
Thanks everyone!
UPDATE:
- Performance improvement
useful, thanks for this!!!!
Great job! I've been missing this feature since I switched to Lollipop. Thanks!
hi,
It seems to be working on CM12 but a little too good
Apps get killed right away when i press "back"whatever time-out i set in the settings.

Hello, CM12 with standard navbar (3 buttons) doesn't have that setting. It s only implmented in roms with navbars with extra settings like opening an app etc etc
Having Trouble
I'm having a similar problem where even a single tap on the back button is closing the app. I have a rooted Galaxy S4 running Android 4.4

So this is happening when using the navbar and not the physical buttons?
It seems like the up action isn't being triggered. I could try to implement maybe a double click back to kill option. Ill try to debug on my 5.0 emulator that uses the navbar and see if i can figure anything out. Weird how that's happening.

hello again,
No, i dont use the navbar In cm12 (disabled) I use hardware buttons. If ndg1988 uses stock then he doesn't have a navbar so i guess he uses the hardware buttons too

Hm, I truly don't know then. I really would need the device in hand to test with. I could try to do testing by sending you a file with loads of debug information in it. Would you mind that?
Good News

I was just an idiot that assumed the activation time was in units of seconds, not milliseconds. This may be what most people are having trouble with. It works well now, so thank you and keep up the good work.

no, but it will take a while. i need to test multirom on my device and i have have to finish the translation of an app first.
Thanks mate
Awesome - best thing that can happen to a rooted stock rom.
btw its labled "Main Activity" in App Drawer, not "Hold Back To Kill"

Yup. Realized that after releasing and didn't care too much about it. In the next update (if ever one would exist) i'll fix it.

Anyone managed to get to system ui tuner?

The instructions to enable system ui tuner on the web don't appear to be working...holding down the sprocket on the toggle screen till it spins doesn't enable the menu...anyone else know how to get to it?
Also still looking for a way (non xposed) to assign long hold of back button to kill foreground app.
Should say system UI tuner added to settings after holding for about 5 seconds.

It should..I agree...thats what all the suggestions say and I can see the wheel spin....but it's not in the list. Are you saying it worked for you? If so I may need to go back to a fresh install and try this again.

For me also it worked.
I finally got the thing to appear and I'm still not certain how...I think marshmallow is much more picky about the touchscreen and the glass screen protector I have on it....taps are not being interpreted right all the time....anyway thanks for confirming. Ironically by the time I enabled the menu I had already enabled xposed and found ways to set all the things I woul d have been able to do from system ui.

How to disable full screen mode for certain apps?

I have an app that is not working properly on my new 7 Pro and it turns out full screen mode is the cause. Searching the settings shows it, but it doesn't really seem to be there. How can I do this?
Download immersive mode manager from plays store it allows you to choose what apps you want to be fullscreen etc.
Thanks, not there's not a way to do it natively, without installing another app? That seems stupid.
Full screen for display
Newbie here.
My full screen for display was working great. Went to verizon to get a sim card for my cell service, and now the 3 buttons on the bottom of screen that should toggle in/out when prompted are there all the time. Do you know where a setting is for this?

4.4.4 was that Last great version of android. It gets more restrictive and worse with every update. I'm excited to see if Huawei has an os. I'd rather be able to do what I want, even if china spys on me.

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.

At the end of the all the toggles themselves is one called Edit
Thanks alas but there is no edit icon... all there is as per the pic attached.... googled it extensively but some no definitive answer as yet....

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.
