Best way to hide status bar in Android 11 OxygenOS - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Today I have received the notification to upgrade to Android 11 and I'm reluctant to do so because I heard that immersive mode will be permanently disabled. I make use of the following command on Android 10 OxygenOS and know that it will not work:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
I have read conflicting information and I'm not sure if it's possible to remain stock while hiding the status bar to prevent burn in. I'm basically interested in a solution that allows me to use the stock launcher and gesture behavior (basically replicating the above command).
I'm open to rooting even if this is now required. Does anyone know of the best way to proceed?

I had a similar issue with hiding the navbar to allow FNG to work correctly. I ended up using a substratum theme to accomplish this. Working fine so far. Head over to https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v22.1 tog et started with root and modules.

Thank You for replying, so just to clarify, once the phone is rooted and magisk has been deployed, I may just download the Substratum application and install compatible themes.
Are you able to use this method to hide the status bar in addition to the navbar (just to re-confirm, I mean the top panel with all the notifications and system indicators)?

Remove oreo navbar completely ( workaround that works on this date 2nd april 2018)

I've tried every single method here, and nothing did the trick for me, so i found a work around for myself, and decided to share, cause i've been frustated trying and trying after updating to oreo.
Assuming you know your work around on ADB commands, and do the basics like turn on immersive status:
1. turn on immersive status bar;
2. go on ADB commands, and type: Adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-210
( 0,0,0,-x is the value that determines how much you wanna push the nav bar off the screen, on my galaxy s8 and s9 -210 is the sweet spot, but you can trial and error till you find your devices sweet spot) ( to revert to origianl just type Adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
3. install all in one gestures, work well, and very customizable and easy to use: (search on playstore)
KNOKN ISSUES :
-depending on how lower you use nav bar, lockscreen shortcuts will be cut of or disappear;
-some apps lose de confirmation button, for instance the Google photos app, when deleting the "confirm" button to delete, doesn't show, but if you tap multiple times on de lower part of the screen it confirms ( tryed and works) ;
-scroll down print screen doesn't work anymore;
(LITTLE TO NO PROBLEMS, THAT MAKE UP FOR THE FACT IT TAKES NAVBAR AWAY. AT LEAST IN MY OPINION IT'S A GOOD COMPROMISE )
Does this work after reboot, or we need to reapply?
And also, can we just enter a smaller number to make navbar shorter, not hidden completely?

You can reboot as many times as you want. It will stick.
Also, the numbers you are entering don't change size at all. Only moves the nav bar, so short answer, low number only hide nav bar a little looking weird then

There is a nav bar overlay called thinner nav bar, if I'm not mistaken, that will put the nav bar slimmer. Go on substratum and look for it, then apply. Don't know if it works on oreo though... :good:

I tried that one already, but then I had problem with keyboard It's too low when there is no navbar under it. It would be great if there was some kind of separator under the keyboard so it isn't so low. And also, does that disable the hard press function of home button?
I know, I'm very complicated! xD

My keyboard works well. Where we say - 210 use other values that fit your phone and try different scenarios. Like on the keyboard. Dashboard and browser. So you can find the sweet spot for you. The home button hard pressed works great on mine. And keyboard and everything else. Maybe post some pictures of keyboard so I can see what's wrong
Well done! Finally be able to get rid of the nav bar, thanks a lot

Maybe with themes from the app store or something. I don't really know how to make things bigger. Not a good idea to mess with adb commands theme related. I only work with substratum. Sorry. Anyway, double check if substratum is compatible with your device.what phone you have?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/global-immersive-nav-bar-t3758330
Same thing here. Just a quick swipe up away.
set mine to
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-60
because at adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-210 you cant see the emergency icon.
Also using this app: Gesture Control - Next Level Navigation
Edit: I changed mine to -80, navbar is completely hidden. I didn't use auto hide navbar option in the settings, so that the keyboard
and other UI don't sink in. Draw back is, you can't use 3D touch to go back home, but, since I have a gesture app set, I don't need it.

Actually it's quite different. You hide it with immersive, and we completely disable it. In your case of you swipe up, for instance with gestures to navigate, the nav bar appears and gets in the way. We get rid of it completely and constantly. No nav bar at all anywhere

how? network speed in status bar / immersive display (similar to Gravitybox)

Back then, on my Nexus 5, I used Gravitybox via Xposed.
The most liked features have been the display of the actual network speed (DL/UL rates in kb/s) and the immersive display (fullscreen, no black bars top and bottom even for apps not made for it).
I'd like to get this back on my Pixel 3, but how?
Root & Magisk possible.
Thank you for ideas!

If you're pixel is from Google, then you can root it. But there's only an unofficial Xposed that will work. I'm not sure if that supports gravitybox.

well, it is rooted with Magisk, but the Xposed you mentioned is beta unstable and does not yet support Gravitybox. Understable, with Gravitybox being a conglomerate of a whole lot of different mods.
I was wondering, if there are other possibilities to be explored. I am really wondering why there is no Magisk Module for the DL/UL speed in the status bar already - do other users not desire this or is it commonly fulfilled already, how?
The immersive display on the Pixel 3 is sort of a regress, - quite often i only see a contextually unused bar where the menu keys are.
Well, even chrome shows a white bar there, without using the area for website content display.
Did I miss some setting to toggle it?
@Tulsadiver 's mod in the themes section does it. It is also available on DU custom rom.

You can use Tasker to do this. Just a matter of creating a task for immersive mode in tasker and then run the task. Also, you can create a task to turn immersive mode off and run that if you want it off. Easiest way though is to create both tasks and then add a widget to both of them on you home screen. Then just touch one widget to turn immersive mode on and touch the other to turn it off. Another option is to create a profile that will start immersive mode when you start one of the apps in the profile, such as your browser. Then, when you quit using the app, it reverts back to immersive mode off. Whatever the case, it works great. If you want to try it, I can help you with it. They are really pretty simple tasks to set up. Are you familiar with Tasker?
so far the Edxposed for me works well on my pixel 3 with these modules:
App Locale 2
Google Mpas SDK Drift Fix for China
GravityBox[P] beta 5: network speed indicator and immersive mode work great
Lataclysm
XprivacyLua
Should be more workable modules

Open Tasker and touch the tasks tab at the top. Then, at the bottom right you'll see a plus symbol. Touch it and a small window for naming the task will open. Name it whatever you choose. In the next window, touch the plus at the bottom and then select code. Then select run shell. Then, where it says command, you simply type or copy and paste the code I give you. On that same page you'll see a line that says use root. Put a check mark in the box next to it and then use the back arrow at the top left to go back. This is the code you'll use in the command box.
This one is for turning immersive mode on.
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
This one is for turning off immersive mode.
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.full=
Create two tasks in the manner I mentioned, one task for immersive on and another for turning it off.
When you back out of the window where you typed the command, it takes you to the task edit window. At the bottom left you'll see a play button you can use to test the task. Touch it and, it'll turn on or off, depending of course which task it is you're in.
You can use that button to turn immersive mode on or off or you can add a Tasker widget for each task on your home screen. Then it's just a matter of touching them to turn it on and off. Also, if you prefer, you can add buttons for them in the quick settings you see when you drag down the status bar. Just open the quick settings, touch the edit button and add the Tasker buttons there. There are three of them, add two and assign the tasks to them.

How to disable all system provided navigation on android 10 OB1?

Hi,
I use swipe navigation app to get around my phone usually. I find that due to the customization I am much more efficient using that than any of the OS provided navigation options.
To make this work properly there needs to be a method to completely hide all OS provided navigation.
On Oreo a magisk module named "Show/Hide navigation bar" accomplished this for me. Before that it was qemu.mainkeys.hw = 0. It seems that both of these are again broken on Android Q.
Has anyone managed to completely hide all OS navigation so that they can properly use a third party navigation app? Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks
Yes, this is an annoying bug! Typing on Instagram is broken because of this I think

Possible to (auto) hide the status bar entirely in A11 (=without immersive mode) ?

Hey guys,
As owning a non-notched phone I'm trying to get as much use of the display as possible. The status bar is useless to me when browsing the web. If I really want to know the time I don't mind getting out of the app first.
The navigation bar can be hidden in several ways. The PIL is also not too hard to hide. But the status bar is a real issue. I'm guessing that works out ok-ish for notch phones. But for the OP7 Pro and some Xiaomi phones this does not make sense.
I was wondering if there's a ROM or MOD that does this in another way than global overscan (which seems to conflict with FUD) or immersive mode (which places text suggestions over the text field in many apps, really annoying)
Now that in Android 11 there's no more global immersive mode, which was already a compromise, I'm running out of options. I'm currently trying ROMs at random, but maybe someone else has a tip here? I can't be the only one?
May be a different launcher? I do recall Nova had this feature to hide status bar but I have not used Nova for a while. May be something to try? Good luck ?
I'll give it a go! Fingers crossed!
update: Yep it hides it, but just when on the home screen. So it's a part of the solution! But not quite there yet.

It's a start though. I never have more than one page so it worked for me. Also there may be a adb command to hide status bar, just try searching it. There is an app systemui tuner that allows to hide status bar on per app basis. It may be worth checking. All the best?
There's a way to hide it with adb commands. I will look into it and write it here when I find it
I've tried with the ADB commands that worked on a10 but they didn't work (on lineage 18) probably because global immersive was removed in a11
I have not upgraded to A11 but for previous versions, the following adb command did work:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*

Question No immersive mode?

Is there a way to enable immersive mode on the Pixel 7 pro? Is there any root or Xposed option to do so? I want to enable immersive mode on a per app basis through tasker. This functionality seems to have been lost in Android 13.
I use the Xposed module "None Display Cutout". After installing it, go to Settings > Developer Options > Display Cutout and set it to "No Display Cutout".
Then I use XposedEdgePro to creat shortcuts to turn it off and on. You can trigger it by gesture, quicksettings or activity shortcut.
I'm not sure what the best way is to set it on a per-app basis.

I don't understand the utility in Xposed edge pro. Doesn't it make an annoying half moon circle with different buttons pop out? Each having its own customized function? You're making it execute a small script that is to go into settings tho and activate immersive mode after installing the display cutout option. Is that correct?

Well, the None Display Cutout module doesn't actually give you immersive mode by itself. It basically just makes your phone ignore the hole-punch camera. Without it, you will have a black section of unused space above the app and camera if you go into immersive mode. So, it just let's you use the full screen.
I just use Xposed Edge Pro, because it offers a working way to go into immersive mode, but you don't actually need to open it after setting it up. You don't need the pie/halfmooon menu. It has an activity that can be called. I have a different custom menu that I set up with another app that calls the XposedEdge Pro shortcut to put the phone into immersive mode. Xposed Edge also lets you add quick settings buttons to hide the status or nav bars.
You could also just set up gestures through Xposed Edge to trigger immersive mode

forum.xda-developers.com
Sorry, it is a Magisk module, not an Xposed module.
I use the gesture navigation, but I don't use the XposeEdge gestures. I was just saying that there are different ways of triggering it. There might be some other apps that still, work, but the other old apps that put the device in immersive mode just didn't seem to work anymore. So, Xposed Edge was the only way I could get it working. If all you care about is getting rid of of the gesture pill at the bottom, and don't want to hide the status bar, there is a mod you can use with Substratum Lite.
You mentioned using Tasker. Well, I just looked in Tasker and it does give you the option to call an App Shortcut from Xposed Edge Pro. I sort of got per-app immersive working with Tasker.
To test it try this:
1. Press the + button to add new profile and select "Application"
2. Select all apps that you want to be in immersive mode
3. For you task, select App > Shortcut > Xposed Edge Pro > Hide Status Bar > Turn On.
4. Do the same thing as above, but select Hide Navigation Bar.
At this point it should trigger it when you open one of those apps that you specified. The main issue is that it persists if you go to any other app. So then you might need to create an inverse version of the profile and tasks above, to turn it off for every other app, including your launcher. There is about a quarter second delay for the immersive to turn on when you switch to a new app, though.

It works on A13. I've been using it since day one on Pixel 7 Pro. Immersive mode, custom dpi and font size work. Only few apps are incompatible (Google Photos, Files, Recorder).
Screenshots:
1. Chrome with immersive mode enabled.
2. ES File Explorer with immersive mode and custom dpi.
I flashed a zip that makes my status bar 1px so the notification pull-down gesture still works but the screen is basically stretched to the top of the phone. Works perfectly
