immersive mode customizations - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

So I've enabled immersive mode with ADB commands. I'm wondering if there's any ADB commands to make the nav bar stay on longer when I swipe up to reveal it? Sometimes the nav bar goes away to fast and I end up accidentally tapping on something I wasn't intending to.
Also, my keyboard does not appear with the back and home button at the bottom. There's a black bar where those nav buttons should be and I have to swipe up to reveal them. Is there away I can make the nav bar stay just only for the keyboard?
Thanks for any help!

Are you using the fluid navigation gestures app?

No, what app is that? Do I need to root my phone to use it?

Here's the app:

No root needed. Just read the instructions.

(Q) Status bar

There has to be a way to hide the status bar. obviously in numerous diff launchers, there is the option to swipe up or down to hide/bring back your noti bar. the noti bar lies within the systemUI.apk (or so i can tell via switching themes). anyone know how to edit the xml that allows for hiding the noti bar? it looks sick when i adb push the systemui.apk and it dissappears. Help!
the statusbar has the home, back, menu keys built in; its probably a bad idea to hide it
I was thinking about this also. It would be nice for apps to go true fullscreen and overlap the status bar. Maybe its an app issue but Remote RDP Lite makes it awkard as when I set the resolution to 1280x800 the bottom part actually gets covered by the status bar.
I suppose I can set it to be like 1280x750 or something...

I'd like the option to hide it whenever.

this would likely require use of a hardware button, since I dont think android CAN support gestures that work over all apps, and I cant think of any other input method you could use
edit: wouldnt be a bad use of the power button since the battery is good enough without it needing to sleep and the lockscreen is sort of pointless because its not in your pocket. Maybe a popup menu on the power button like on phones?
I'd like the ability to move the status bar to the top. This would make it easier to access when I'm holding it with my left hand and resting it on my legs. Right now, if I move my left hand to hit back or home, I then need to grab my xoom with my right hand to keep it steady.
One option would be to use the up down volume keys to move the status bar up or down. Volume could be handled more easily from the notification tray, it isn't as necessary as on a phone to have an alway accessible volume button.

Cyanogen's Quick Launch shortcuts as 'pie-control' like navigation keys

Is it possible to add navigation functionality to the cyanogen's quick launch shortcuts? (Back, Home and Recent apps )
I hate the software keys taking up screen space and pie controls aren't as reliable for catching all those quick navigation gestures.
My intention is to make the navigation bar so thin that its barely visible yet still swiping up will from the bottom of the screen will bring up quick launch with navigation keys.

That depends on your phone and the installed rom

Nav Buttons Always Visible?

I hate the idea that the nav bar disappears when you are playing a game, has anyone found a way of making the nav buttons always stay visible even in full screen? This would please me
Thanks

Pull up from the button in the game so you see the buttons plus the icon for the menu beside them. Press menu and set full screen off and reboot as it will tell you to.
In some games, turning off full screen still hides the nav

Full time nav display S8
Same here. Love my S8. Just set up my DeX today...amazimg. only thing I don't like is the soft keys for the nav bar on bottom. But, there's an easy fix. Pull up the bar and you'll see a little hollow circle to the left. Tap it. It will turn solid and turn your soft keys to a fixed, always on navigation bar! Love it. Now it is the perfect device. I HIGHLY recommend the DeX btw. Its a game changer for any business person on the go who needs multiple full office set ups. Hope this helped!

Hi. Can you tell me please what is DeX and how to set it up? Thank you.
Dex is a dock to allow you to use the s8 as a chrome book, just add a blutooth keyboard and mouse connect the HDMi from the DEX to a tv or monitor and you now have a chrome book running from your phone, oh and it charges it as well

With the new update you get a new button on your nav bar. A small white dot - bottom left. Press it and you get immersive mode i.e. no more nav bar. However, i would rather use that button for something else.

I don't think I have that option

Hide Navigation Button

Hi, is anyone knows how to hide the nav button on home screen? I don't want to use the navigation gesture as the animation is really weird for me. I'm fine with hiding the nav button, but the button is still there on the home screen.
I have a rooted OP6 with Magisk.
You could use gravitybox xposed, it has option for expanded desktop
What i do is enable gestures in the settings to get rid of the navigation bar, but instead of using the oneplus gestures, i use gesture control from the app store to set up an almost transparent pill. I find i like this better as opposed to just running expanded desktop all the time, because when the keyboard pops up, the nav bar does not come with it.
