guys, i was thinking oneplus should have notch area in such a way that it should show all the info(time,signal,battery) it shows normally for those apps for which we are not using full screen mode instead of blacking it out like a bar..like a second screen. what do you guys say?
Isn't that how it already works? Or is that only when fullscreen mode is enabled?

supposed i am using an app which i kept in 'default' mode which means the notch area will be a black bar. so instead of that black bar, can't we have time,signal,battery etc on the notch area?
for example, when watching videos on youtube,playing games or using some apps, the notch area isn't used at all. why not use it for showing informations?

Building an app that requires full kiosk mode on a nexus 5. No access to or notifications from other applications, as well as hiding any system nag, tool bars.
I know kitkat now supports 'immersive mode' , but this isn't sufficient since the user still has access to other apps and the system menus.
Does anyone know of any application or system 'hack' that will allow kiosk mode on a Nexus5 device?
If you had no access to system bars then you would have no way of exiting the app.

I think that is the point of having a "kiosk" device. One where its accessible to the public and they cant do anything but use the app that's opened. Much like the PC's at BestBuy / other retailers where they have the adverts / "check out these cool features" demo programs that you cant close out of.
You might be able to pull off something like that with a custom launcher but I don''t think there is way for a standard application to do that.
yes it IS possible
The only thing I haven't been able to do is hide the top icon bar with the wifi, battery level , clock icons viewable on a swipe down from top

People have been modding away the Nav par all together and switching to pie controls etc. It's certainly possible.

While playing games, just swipe upside down and you'll see status bar and suddenly swipe down from the center of the screen to access notifications.
cant figure out can u post steps or screenshot
tried all but cannot open notification area while in a game can only scroll on edge screen
I think It only works when the app/game support landscape and patriot orientations.
Or
If you flip the phone 180° in landscape so the edge is down, a small swipe on the top (now opposite the edge) does what I think you want.

ya opposite edge it should work but most apps work in landscape facing edge on top
so there is no way to access notification area that way?

On KK you could use App Settings (Xposed) to force apps to accept both landscape orientations, but no such luck on L. That's what I've done for all my games that were locked to one orientation by default.

Hello,
Has anyone found a way to hide the navigation bar buttons or toggle immersive mode? By having the home key buttons slide out of the way when not in use, it makes the bezels appear much smaller and really takes advantage of more screen space. Both LG and Samsung have this feature built into their system options and I've noticed how much better many apps look when it's enabled. Plus, it may help with the apparent screen burn-in issue. I just tried loading the GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode app on a demo Pixel 2 XL at a Verizon store and it kind of worked, but not in all apps. It worked great in Chrome and Maps, but not in Twitter or the NFL Mobile app. In those apps, the buttons hid out of the way, but the black bar stayed. I'm considering purchasing a Pixel 2 XL, but this one feature has been holding me back. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated.
Have a great day!

Thank you sir this works perfectly, you can also enable immersive statusbar. Now my screen is seems a bit bigger and I don't have to worry about the burn in. Jesus this app just made me fall in love with this phone ?

I've tried using this on my Pixel 2 a couple times. The grant permissions are given, but the app shows it is not compatible with the device.
**UPDATE** and now just letting it sit on the test screen (had to do something else) it shows it can.

Once you've granted permission the test screen seems to stall so you need to close the app and open it again

I just did this mod on my Pixel 2. I hid the navbar which gives me more screen space, very cool. Thanks.
would the 18:9 aspect ratio of the 2xl just hide the buttons or would it stretch the screen?

Did anyone else have trouble getting the permission to work? I followed exactly but got nothing.
No, no problem.
You can also LeeDroid's Shortcutter app for this purpose - I've used that to put a toggle for immersive mode in my notification shade. Both that and Custom Navigation Bar work fine on my phone, but if you are having trouble with one you could try the other. You have verified that ADB is working (e.g. a quick "adb devices")? I had to update it on my laptop before it would work with my Pixel.
I finally got it all to work just took multiple times of opening and closing the app. Are we unable to completely get rid of the nav bar without root? Im using swipe navigation but the nav bar keeps coming up.
Why can't google make this an option like samsung?
Anybody seen this app? Just found it by accident. Works like the built-in one should. It's free and ad free.

I like the notch and will not be hiding it
only problem with that app is it produces 2 persistent notifications. not a good trade-off in my book.

Hold the notification. You can hide them.

the notifications are there to keep the app running all the time. if you block the notifications the app likely will quit working at times.

Hasn't for me. Been running since I posted this.
20degrees method worked for me. No persistent notification. Now I can have the notch always hidden like I wanted
Works nicely. Now when you go into other apps, the top stays black and the notch stays hidden.
Only minor issue if you have OCD, is say you use something like FB Messenger, part of the chat head will be hidden under the blacked out part of the top.
I've been running it for 3 days and no issues yet. Still stays persistent too!

Can't you do the same thing without installing an extra app?
Settings -> Display -> Second Screen
Pick "Custom" and it should change it to be black around the edge of the notch by default.

That stops when u go into apps where the notification bar is a different color. This app keeps it black all the time.

Yup. I actually just donated to the guy. It's worth a few $$ to me.
Does anyone know of a way to get Google Photos to "respect" the notch and not stretch all the way to the top? Otherwise the close and menu icons are cut off (when Natcho Notch) when you're editing a photo.
Conversely, for full-screen apps that do respect the notch but hide the status bar, like Acrobat Reader and Google Play Books, is there a way to force the status bar to show? Otherwise, we have wasted space on both sides of the notch.
My only concern is that unlike amoled screens, lcd screens stay lit when the screen needs to display black. Would it cause burn in by any chance?

My understanding is that LCD screens are not susceptible to burn-in the way AMOLED screens are.

Nope. I've been using it since June and no issues here.
Can someone walk me through this? Totally new to Pixel phones. Been using LG for the last 10 years.
I have Nova Launcher installed and it seems to be working properly with no issues.
I'm getting written notifications on my lock screen whenever a YouTube channel I'm subscribed to posts a new video. I don't want that. (This is happening on most of my apps)
In the past with the LG, i'd just get a tiny colored bubble with a number on the app's icon on my home screen. That's what I'm trying to accomplish with the P7P. Is there a way to get the phone to do this?

I've tried that on the lock screen, and it takes me to a page asking me if I want to unsubscribe from notifications from that YouTube channel. Is this correct? I do still want to get a bubble on the app's icon on my home screen letting me know I have unseen content.

Hmm, I don't think so. Have you tried it once you've unlocked the lock screen? Please see screenshot.
Didn't make a difference.
If "notifications “ are turned off, will I still get the little dot on the app icon?
Ok, I may have an idea.
In the notifications settings area....
Pic below, set hide silent notifications from the lock screen. Then long press the notification in the status bar and set them to silent.
They will still show in your status bar and app icon.
Downside to my plan is if you have, for example, text messages set to silent they will no longer show on lock screen if you want that.

Yes, at the bottom of the list of notications, there is an option to have the dot separately.
