Hello guys, since most people with jellybean rom want to have Kitkat's immersive mode but that option is not available and enabling expanded desktop mode from gravity box [JB] makes apps go full screen but unable to swipe status bar like in kitkat, I decided to create this thread for users who want Kitkat's immersive mode on JellyBean devices.
In this giude I will be telling you how to emulate kitkat's immersive mode
1. Requirements :-
Rooted phone
JellyBean ROM
Xposed Installer/framework installed
App Settings xposed module
Swipe Status Bar (Play Store)
Gravity Box [JB](optional)
2. Method :-
Install App Settings and Swipe Status Bar
Open app settings and select force full screen mode on apps that you want.
Configure Swipe Status Bar the way you want.
Thats it! Now you have close to Kitkat style immersive mode.
3. Downloads :-
Xposed Installer -- http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
SwipeStatusBar -- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.chladek.swipe_status_bar&hl=en
4. Theming Status Bar(optional) :-
You may use Potato Gradient or Tinted StatusBar Mod to theme to your liking.
You may use statusbar transparency manager from Gravity Box [JB].
5. Screenshots :-

Note :- You can try GravityBox's expanded desktop mode + SwipeStatusBar for the same effect if you want but I don't think that it will work.

Note: The same can also work for any other Android device but results may vary. Supports all droids from Android 4.1 to 4.4.4. You may however experiment after taking a Nandroid backup.
Steps:
- Open your file explorer app with root permissions. (E.g. ES File Manager with Root explorer enabled)
- Go to /system
- Open build.prop file.
- Edit the file to add this at the bottom - qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
- Save and exit
- Reboot the device.
Note: Do not disable hardware keys using other mods as they are required in rare instances where an app cannot force immersive mode. Only turn off the 'Touch key light duration' under Display Settings.
How to force immersive mode for apps where navigation bar does not appears:
- Install Xposed
- Download App Settings mod.
- Activate and Reboot
- Open the App Settings and select the app you want to force immersive mode. E.g. Camera app and Select Immersive under Fullscreen option.
- Save settings and launch the app.
Additional goodie: To get Android L style nav bar, use the Xposed mod - 'Lollipop Navigation Bar'
It's very basic. This thread is for newbies only. I don't want to use "n00bs" here.
Mine ain't saving, saying an error has occurred.

This app is just awesome.. using it since 3 months.. just want to ask you that can you add an option to disable this app when particular packages are running in foreground, e.g. Settings App, which won't interfere with Screen Overlay when enabling permissions.. I am really expecting this feature in next update.. #TIA
Existing immersive fullscreen apps on the market may break layouts on some devices in some apps (for example on Whatsapp) when the keyboard is shown.
This app allows you to enable immersive mode on your device with keyboard support feature which prevents layouts breaks.
The keybord support feature disables fullscreen mode when the keyboard is shown and re-enables it when it is hidden.
Here is the playstore link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.huseyinatasoy.fullscreen_immersive_mode

This app need some sort of automation to only be enabled on certain apps or making a partial fullscreen with only the navigation OR the notification bar hidden, like SystemUI Tuner does. A quick setting would also be nice.
I want to use this app but I don't want to use the full screen all the time or having to go to the app every time I want to change it. It would be really great if you added that.
Also, it would have been cool if you had root support for granting secure settings permissions, or a way to copypaste the adb command. Copying is pretty annoying.
Lol literally not going to use this app because I don't want to type out that command. Also, for those with root access, I should not need to use ADB.
Is there any option to do something opposed to immersive mode - show status bar and navigation bar when app is hiding them?

Works perfect for me on LG Wing.
