You might want to ask in the GB thread. They have been very helpful in the past and when I submitted a log like they ask you too, they fixed the problem the x was having.

You could always try a launcher like Nova. I use semi-immersive mode to hide the nav and the launcher settings to hide the status bar when I want it hidden.

I noticed the same thing and I never found a solution. I suspect it has something to do with motos non-stock ROM. More specifically the modified notification bar? They've been real accommodating to us X'rs over there at gravitybox.
I ended up using app settings and setting each individual app to immersive mode. It sucked & took forever to do. But at least I'm full screen now with pie. I lowered the dpi on some things as well. High res full screen goodness!

I can still call down the notification bar with a down swipe anytime I want.
Whenever I install new apps I gotta go in and set them to immersive mode. :\ It's a double edged sword because it gives you full control, but it also is a lot of work setting up each individual app.
I also tried the immerse me mod but it did weird things with Nova Launcher & something else I can't remember so I uninstalled it.

what do you have your DPI set to?

It depends on the app, but most of them are set to either 190 or 200. A few are 210, and others, like Active Display are the stock 320(It goes weird when set to non-stock DPI).

Works for me, worth the purchase
When I upgraded to 4.4.2 and found out I couldn't root again without a bootloader hack, I downloaded this and gave it a shot. It's worked flawlessly for all apps. I just set it to auto start for the apps I want immersive mode on but you can just turn it on and leave it. Doubt it will work with anything Pie related though because it's true immersive mode.

App Settings.

(PSA) Samsung's "Good Lock" gives you stock-like statusbar (and more)

The app is available on the Galaxy App's app market and works on Samsung's touchwiz android 6.0 (some say you can side load the apk on touchwiz android version 5.1 and it will still work; app won't appear on the galaxy store unless you are on android 6.0 though)
It, of course being by samsung, DOES NOT require root and can be uninstalled if you don't like it.
Just look up "Good Lock" on the samsung app store (Galaxy Apps); it will say "update" instead of download since it's an update to the System UI, and your phone should reboot.
Confirmed working on tdunham's deodexed MM rom. Should work without any issues on stock none-rooted.
Here's a video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ0P1S9jom0
(pokedex animations not included )

Just tried it. Tried it for a few minutes. And uninstalled it. Too many bright colors for my taste.

Colors can be changed by going into the Good Lock settings, then selecting the routines menu and editing default. Darker colors are on the left while lighter is on the right. If only the recents menu could be changed so easily.
Also the bokeh is ****. Not only does it cause lag upon opening the drawer, but it looks incredibly ugly. It's nowhere near as well implemented as iOS and even if it was, it wouldn't fit with material design.

I was happy once I figured out I could change the color from the butt ugly purple they started me on. Now I'm back closer to the stock MM color.
Your second point, are you talking about the app drawer on the lock screen? I didn't personally like that. You can disable it, though. If you go into routine just like changing the color and at the last setting page it has a little screen with the sections for clock, notifications, and app drawer. Uncheck the app drawer and it is gone.

I was referring to the notification drawer. Though I also dislike the other areas that Samsung has shoved bokeh (blur) into, like the power menu.

Ohh OK, I understand now. I don't mind the blur too much and haven't noticed any lag from it yet. Overall, I think it is an improvement on TW...even with the crappy recents.

I like the app but even though it allows you to NOT use location services it brings up this every time no mater how i configue it the only other thing i dont likevis it removes the "cards" fron your recent apps and turns it into a list.

A waste. Uninstalled it.
I just want the lockscreen (with my own bg) and i want to keep my theme the way it is. We should be able to pick and choose what we want to enable and disable.

You can set your own lockscreen background with Good Lock. After you install Good Lock it will change but if you go and set your lockscreen background again, it will stick.

Is it just me or while using good lock, and when you go into the recent apps and you hit clear all it doesn't clear all and it just clears apps that are visible in the recent apps menu?

Any idea why it doesn't appear in the samsung store on MM 6.0.1 ? Living in Bulgaria, just stating in case that's why.

Samsung's New Notification/Lockscreen App

Hey all.. I don't think I've seen a post about this so I thought I'd be the first to give you all a heads-up on Samsung's new lock app called Good Lock. It's a fairly new app and I'm sure they'll make improvements. It pretty much changes your lockscreen, notifications tray, and recent tabs. Let me know what you think of the app.
**Apparently some rooted users are having various problems (constant reboot and randomly uninstalls itself), so keep that in mind...
You can download this in the Galaxy App store
Here are some screenshots

Saw this earlier today, haven't downloaded yet. Are your icons a previous theme or are they from this new Good Lock app?

Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

I downloaded this today, and so far I like it! I wasn't sure at first, but the more that I use it, the more I enjoy it.
I like the new notifications menu. Looks a lot like stock Android. Wish u could use a custom lockscreen wallpaper, but besides that, it's pretty cool! I'm surprised that Samsung created something like this.
To answer your question, I'm pretty sure that those icons are from a previous theme. I haven't found any icon customization with this app

I tried the app, but it uninstalled itself after a bit playing around with it. It looked better than the stock lock screen and notification area (although I don't like the colours) and I'd like to keep the app. Is there a way to prevent that the app is automatically uninstalled?

In Nova Launcher pulling notification bar down is not flawless if you use gesture...

Just a warning that it doesn't work with rooted devices. I made the mistake of installing it on my rooted S7 and it caused constant reboots.

I've also uninstalled in for ithe time being because it didn't work with my Samsung led case. it kept asking for location. I've never had the uninstall problem or reboot problem. you can change the lockscreen by going to Samsung settings. I really hope they polish the app a bit more.
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

So far, I'm liking Good Lock. just a couple weird things. Looks like you no longer can customize the quicksettings tiles, and the recent apps switcher is much better, but if you use the button to bring it up and dismiss it (also using the button) then it goes to the Home App instead of the app I was in.

Are you rooted? If not, that explains why the reboot issue would never have happen for you.

Downloading now.

I tried it and uninstalled within minutes. The recent apps is horrible - separate chrome tabs are now nameless icons making it useless to find the tab you wanted, and I like having a preview of the open apps. Also, as mentioned, the MM notification draw pulldown bug in Nova is present, which drives me insane. And no lockscreen wallpaper choices, no thanks. The only reason I'd want to use it is the more stock android look, and that you can finally double tap a notification on the lockscreen to open it, which should be a thing on the current lockscreen anyway.

You select your wallpaper just as before from your phone settings/display and wallpaper.

Use the whitelist app posted in this forum. It's on Google Play.
I have no idea what the Essential app did other than whitelist Nova.

It didn't seem to do anything for me. I turned off whitelisting from the app and Nova reverted to old behavior. Maybe it's just whitelisting and if you already had that setup it doesn't do anything else.

I installed the v 5.5. beta 2, but won't work for me, I still have to use the white list hack. Strange huh?
Can you try removing the notification bar in Settings - Look & feel and see if Nova still fills up the screen? When I remove the notification bar Nova won't fill up the screen.
Thanks.

Yeah, interesting indeed. I hope this will be fixed in a future update.

I already had the whitelist editor installed and Nova was selected. Even after the update, when I deselect nova on the whitelist editor, it's no longer full scene. Not sure if the whitelist editor overrides the company's update... either way I rather use the whitelist editor than wait on Essential to update their whitelist. Lol

Seeing the same thing on mine. Luckily the whitelist editor works so well it's not really an issue.

Clock icon strange behaviour after rooting

My clock app icon is behaving strangely after I rooted my SM-G9555FD with @Chainfire CF autoroot, and intalled the official xposed of Nougat by @rovo89. My clock app icon just started changing its appearance randomly without any recognisable reason.
I am on Samsung stock rom, android 7.0, Samsung Experience version 8.1. I am on stock theme as well, no third party theme or launcher.
I am attaching a few screenshots of clock app icon having different appearance.

Samsung's Clock and Calendar apps both have animated icons that show the current time and date, respectively, so I expect there's an incompatibility somewhere.
Samsung's stock theme also has the option to convert any non-Samsung-shaped icons (Samsung's are the "squircle"-shaped ones) into ones that conform to Samsung's native icon shapes by reducing their size and rendering them in a white "squircle"-shaped box.
That option is the default, and I can tell from your screenshots that it is enabled on your phone, since the non-Samsung apps all have had their icons "samsungized".
I don't know if this will work, but you might try disabling the automatic icon conversion option, to see if somehow the combination of that option and the Clock/Calendar animations are broken by your modifications to your phone.
To turn off icon conversion, search for "Icon Frames" in settings (it's under the Display grouping on my phone).
Good luck!

Can anybody point to the underlying cause for this anomalous behaviour of clock icon, what could have triggered this?
As suggested by @TJCacher after turning off the "icon-conversion" the clock icon is behaving normally. But I loved the look of "samsungized" icons. I would love to have them back after understanding the underlying cause for the anomalous behaviour of the clock icon and getting it fixed!
Thanks a lot to @TJCacher for his reply!
