Immersive Mode - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

If I happened to have missed a thread with this very topic, please let me know. If not then my request is very simple, yet complex to achieve if the experimentation hasn't been done.
Essentially I want to have full immersive move enable with gestures such as the case with my G6. I know it was achieved by adb shell and an app or two and that's all I'm looking for. If anyone has achieved it then I would like some instructions on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

That's exactly what I wanted. I apologize for not responding back quickly to let you know it worked. I was simply too excited and started playing around with the settings as well as setting up Nacho Notch.
Truly with these changes, the pixel 3xl has been my favorite phone and I haven't even had it for 24 hours yet. Thanks to the both of you for the info!

I have the 3XL also with immersive mode & love it. One problem is the keyboard pops up above where the navigation bar would have been. Any solutions?

Root needed for this but it's worth it.

Hid nav bar app works flawless for me. I use it with "One Plus Gestures" app. No keyboard issues. No Root.

These 2 apps have made the UI much more useful in my opinion. The gestures are easy to learn.

(APP) LMT launcher

Just tried LMT Launcher which works really well alongside the ones sense 5 launcher, it adds a lot of functionality which just works so well once your used to it and you set apps that you'll like.
Here is the link to the said app and i'm in no way affiliated with the development i just wanted to share something i'd found.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
for me to get it to work properly here the settings i activated, everything else is left at stock and i'm running the newest version.
Autostart - enabled
Gesture input - No known device yet
Activation area thickness - 40
ISA 11 - checked
then all your left with is what you want to set to your short cuts.
I haven't bothered with gestures but there are so many options it's insane.
Well done to the dev who made it, working well here
I love LMT. I used it on my Hercules, and soon as I rooted, I put it on my one. I love being able to launch everything and not having to clutter up my home screen. I never ventured into anything but the pie launcher, so I can't offer any help besides there.
Is there a way to have lmt launch the app gallery? Can't seem to find that option

You have to launch it as an activity. So go to activity, gallery, then choose the main launcher one. It's the second I believe.
I'm quite new to it m8, you'd be better off asking in the thread I've mentioned.

I have been using it for a while now and have had zero hiccups at all everything works as it should.
So weird, but I can't seem to get it to work at all. I'm very familiar with the app, having used it on the last couple of phones through multiple roms. I've tried 2 different Sense roms and 2 different AOSP based, with no luck. Everything starts and stops like it should, it just won't activate when I swipe across the area. Ah well, nature of the beast, I guess. I'll keep messing with it...
YouTube app launch
I recently got my HTC One and unlocked bootloader/rooted.
Installed LMT launcher so I could get the Pie Controls - they look awesome and keep my homescreen clean.
So far so good, I've set all 10 pie segments to launch apps.
All of them work, except for YouTube.
Tried assigning it to various different pie segments but never works.
All other apps launch successfully so not sure why YouTube won't.
I've not got a high enough post count yet to post on the main LMT thread posted by the OP so hoping one of you guys might know why this is happening... Or if anyone else has YouTube launching successfully via LMT Pie Controls.
Cheers

You need to launch it as an activity instead of the app. It's the second option on the YouTube activity list.

Hi guys.
I have LMT included in my ROM for HTC One. I made a video on how to configure it. hope this helps you
The video is recorded on a Nexus 10, but the idea is the same.
I loved using PIE/LMT on my Nexus 4. I wish we didn't have the hard nav bar on our One. That extra space looked awesome on the N4.

can gestures use on one?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
LMT is great on the One, especially with that huge HTC logo
The only downside is that you still need to be able to assign one of the buttons to menu to get rid of the three dot bar in apps like facebook. If you don't do that then the three dot menu bar gets in the way of LMT and you can't use from the bottom in those apps
As a little workaround on 4.2.2 to keep a long press on home for Google Now, I am using Paul's Xposed mod designed for 4.1.2 and assigning a long press of the back button to menu. Long press for menu doesn't work on 4.2.2 roms, but it still gets rid of the annoying three dot menu bar.
Another quick tip:
To get one of the pie segments to turn off the screen, use keycode 26 in Advanced Commands: Key
That saves a lot of finger acrobatics to get up to the top of the phone. Along with the volume buttons to wake this is great for anyone with small fingers
Any idea how to get the Dialer to come up? I've tried everything I can think of to no avail.

Does anyone know where on earth Pie gets installed to? I've knocked up a quick replacement icon bit, for the life of me, I can't find the damned .apk

LMT Script for launching the Power Menu (shutdown/reboot)
Just an FYI for anyone with a HTC One (M7) that wants to use LMT to call up the APM (Simulate long press power button) this is the script code to use:
sendevent /dev/input/event2 1 116 1
sendevent /dev/input/event2 0 0 0
sleep 1
sendevent /dev/input/event2 1 116 0
sendevent /dev/input/event2 0 0 0
The main LMT thread has mostly Nexus and Galaxy events so it took me a little time to find this out for the One.
Hopefully this post will help anyone searching for LMT Power Menu script on the One.

Did you get anywhere getting LMT to work on your HTC one. I have tried every setting imaginable and it will not work.
My phone is rooted, I have confirmed the service is running in the background, but I can not get any pie controls or gestures to work???
Any help much appreciated.

how to swap soft keys!?!?!?!

Hi all,
I've looked everywhere and I can't be the only one who wants this.....
Is there not a way to swap the placement of the back key ala LG G2? It's driving me nuts and is the only thing that is keeping this phone from being perfect (for me) can ANYONE please lend a helping hand?
Thanks

This was the first thing I noticed coming form the LG G2 as well, and haven't found a way yet. Why would they put the back button all the way to the left, it is driving me crazy as it is the most used button!

auto hide soft key's works, but is there any way to use it without the auto-hide/quick bar stuff?
I can't believe there isn't a way to create the same thing that LG has done for this phone. All manufactures should offer this. It's not like HTC didn't "borrow" the knock feature so this shouldn't be a stretch....
I don't get it. I've used Android for years and this is how it is on every device other than Samsung phones. I would just get used to it. Odds are you'll have to anyway in the future.

Never!!!! Lol, I hate that its on the left side. I hold my phone mostly in my right hand and hate how I now need to stretch my hand across to back arrow. This is one area I really do believe Samsung got it right. It's more natural on the right side of the phone. Even if you strongly disagree , at least do what LG has done and give me the option to make it how I want it. If I want to be told how something should be without the option to change it I may as well have a iPhone!

I don't think this app allows you to change the placement of the soft keys does it? I don't see anything in the description that implies that, more meant to just hide the keys.

Yeah, it replaces the nav bar and let's you choose between a bunch of other different themed nav bars. I just can't get it to work without its quickbar feature/autohide.

never hide softkeys

Hi,
i've tried to do a few searches but can't find anything about SHOWING the soft keys all the time.
See the thing is, this phone is for the mother-in-law and she's 71 so it needs to be as simple as possible. She wants to play games like temple run but doesn't understand the concept of swipe the top to get the home button to show up so I'd like to have the bottom bar always visible, even in immersive mode.
Any ideas please?
Cheers
I should probably include that it's stock 14.6.A.0.368 (this probably needs updating, but I'm looking for how to do that at the moment and confusing myself lol) and is rooted.
Xposed module 'App Settings' - go to the app you want, full-screen>prevent. I think you have to do it for each one. You probably can force it across the board with build prop, but I think the other way is best.
I can cope with that... Is there an easy guide for my firmware version to install xposed? I don't want to brick it again lol

Flash this in recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3580244&d=1450386592 Then install this apk - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440 Then open Xposed app and go to 'download' and search for 'app settings'. Note that the first boot after flashing the zip will be long and finish with 'optimizing apps' dialog, which will take several minutes. Make sure your battery level is good.
Always a good idea to backup first.

Oh yeah, and any time you install a new module in Xposed, it won't be active until you reboot.

Strange... Is the module working in general? Did you check the box in 'modules' screen in Xposed? I tested it on several apps and it was good...
I don't think so... It's ticked and I've rebooted and all that. The Adblocker module I found is working fine. Strange.
Perhaps I'm missing something. Any suggestions please? lol!! It's winding me up big time :/

I want the navigation bar to be visible even in full screen mode. The girlfriend's mum can't grasp the concept of swipe to show the navigation and she keeps forgetting when we tell her, so by having it always visible we remove that obstacle

There's a 'blacklist' function which you can apply to chosen apps. I can't say if it will work on your specific game or not. The Xoosed module I mentioned works great for me with Camera, but I guess it didn't work for your game. I think with play store you can return a purchase within 15 minutes or something...
Don't know how I missed that. I'll give it a bash, Many thanks!
That didn't work either unfortunately

Well, after some reading, it seems clear that it is coded into the programming, and you'd have to rewrite the ROM to entirely disable it. From app to app, you probably could decompile and mod the apk so it doesn't call on the function. I did read that Gravity Box from Xposed has an immersive mode toggle, but I can't test it, since GB doesn't work on CM ROM. Check that out.
Thanks for your help so far. I tried GB but it didn't work either. Bloody annoying.
Perhaps another approach would be double tap the power switch to return home? Do you know if something like this exists please?
Thanks again for all the input and suggestions so far.

Hey I just discovered UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar). Install it, go to ssettings>general>special modes. Check 'toggle mode' and uncheck 'hide on outside touch'. The navbar will never go away. The only problem is that it sits Right there over anything else, blocking whatever you might want to touch down there, so maybe not a total fix. How eve, there's also more configurations you can mess with that might at least be an improvement.

I think I tried that as well, but like you say, it gets in the way. It got in the way and I didn't look any more into it. I'll give it a go and look more at it when I get home from work. Cheers.

[Xposed] (Security) Disable Quick Settings Pulldown on Lock Screen

This is just a simple Xposed module that disables pulling down the notification shade / quick settings tiles while on the lock screen (but doesn't break media player controls on lock screen). Only tested on Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL on Android 10 (more on this later).
Background: This has always been an annoying aspect of Android for me, and it's dumb from a security standpoint. Being able to pull down the quick settings tiles on a locked phone is dumb. Why hasn't Android natively built this in yet? Using this and Gravity Box to disable power menu on lock screen makes me feel a lot better in the event my phone ever gets lost or stolen. It's dumb that anyone can steal your phone and immediately toggle your settings (turn off WiFi, Mobile Data, toggle Airplane Mode, etc) and/or turn the phone off... I've been spoiled for years by the OG HTC devs (particularly LeeDroid and Team Venom) and their ROMs with these features baked in, so it's back to using Xposed to fill that gap for me and my wife, lol. Anyway, I pair these mods along with the Lockwatch app from Play Store and it gives me more peace of mind. Hey, anything to increase the chances of recovering a lost or stolen phone, am I right?
Credits / Technical Details: This module is based off of char101's published Xposed Repo module, and all credits and thanks should go to him. This is the first app / APK I've compiled so it was a nice learning experience, but it was all based off of his source and I really just needed to remove a few lines of code to get it to work properly with our phones. His mod worked fine and disabled the quick settings pull down on the lock screen, as intended. The problem was that it would also prevent media player controls from functioning (and I would assume other possible functions as well). To fix this, I just removed DISABLE2_NOTIFICATION_SHADE references from the code, leaving DISABLE2_NONE and DISABLE2_QUICK_SETTINGS untouched. The mod still works perfectly as intended. Only tested on Pixel 4 / 4 XL on Android 10. I'm sure it would work on other devices as well.
I really just did this on a whim for me and my wife's own phones and wasn't planning on sharing it, but I figure other people may have also wanted this for their P4's as well, so enjoy. Again, all thanks go to @char101!
Installation:
- Download .APK file attached to this post.
* If you have char101's original module installed already, I would highly recommend uninstalling it first.
- It's an Xposed module. Install the APK and enable in your Xposed Manager.
- Reboot and test.
Based on: https://repo.xposed.info/module/com.github.char101.qslock
Source for modified module: https://github.com/i5lee8bit/xposed-qslock-P4mod
Just noticed something that worried me at first, but turned out to be nothing of concern afaik, but in case anyone else gets spooked by it: I just noticed last night that if you launch the camera while on the lock screen, you can still pull down the notification shade. Same can be said for other apps that can be active over lock screen (e.g. Phone app during active call).
However, the quick settings are still inaccessible while locked. The notification contents that do show will follow the same rules as your settings, so if you have it set to hide sensitive notification content (which you probably should... otherwise 2-factor authentication is extremely pointless if your device were lost or stolen), you still won't be able to see the notification content itself, just that there is a pending notification for that particular app.
I hope you're finding the mod useful, for anyone who is using it. Please let me know if you find any issues with the module, thanks. I'm by no means a developer, but I have more free time than usual for obvious global reasons and it's a fun learning experience while the free time lasts. =)
I've been using the original NoQSInLockScreen, and while it did the job, it really bothered me that you couldn't use media controls on the lock screen (or expand notifications).
This mod took care of that problem. Really happy with it!
Just wanted to say thank you for putting it up!
Tested it on Android 9 (LineageOS 16.0).
Just wanted to stop in and say thank you for the awesome edxposed mod! I appreciate the extra security and hope you're doing well!

Just wanted to let you know, as a fellow (now former) user of this mod, that I found a better way of doing this! So just thought I'd share:
Using GravityBox app for EdXposed framework you can simply define which individual QS tiles you want to secure. That way you still have access to the QuickSettings pulldown menu from the lockscreen (unlike this mod which disables it altogether), but things like Wi-Fi, Location, Airplane Mode etc. are secure and not accessible until you've unlocked your phone. It's a much more practical and elegant solution in my opinion.
Check out my post on this from Reddit where I describe the steps if you're interested:
https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/gdvwml/securing_quick_settings_tiles_on_lock_screen/
Can't wait to try, does your mod support Android 11?

I completely forgot about this mod, haha. But thanks for letting us know!
As @nanquan mentioned (a long time ago, lol), you can also achieve (essentially) the same thing by using GravityBox. It is indeed a more "elegant" solution, and since I already use GravityBox heavily, I now just use GB's tweaks to lock down the main comm tiles.
But I'm glad this still works, for those who still prefer to use it for whatever reason. I can see it still being useful if you have a lot of custom QS tiles and want to keep it all locked down.

Can't seem to get it to work. Just a question, once i set it up i get [ No active profiles (3 of 3 enable) ] on the notification panel for the tasker. Is it supposed to be like this or the profile should be active for it to work?

Sorry, I didn't get it. Can you please elaborate.

That's awesome. I bought Tasker like a year ago. Everytime I download it I open it, get frustrated, then uninstall it, lol.
I think I love niagra though. It's so minimal on that big screen i think it would be better to just create a one page widget than run two launchers. That side animation was on one preset years ago. I sent my phone to safe mode play with stuff using adb today still have no idea what I did that prompted it.
@jemfalor Sorry I am a noob to the tasker. Where do I select hinge angel in the any sense?
under type, press magnifying glass
@jemfalor thanks for the help mate but it is not working for me. I will pass into it until someone post a detailed video as I have done everything right which Is mentioned in the guide but still no luck.
it is working. just learn to figure things out. change interval type to sample,
Works, but it's glitchy. Sometimes the stock home screen returns until I press the home key. When the device is unfolded and the main screen is visible, pressing the home button causes Nova Launcher to reload, which is pretty annoying. Worst of all, after configuring this, the keyboard keeps reverting back to the Samsung keyboard instead of Gboard, and sometimes the keyboard refuses to pop up at all. Time to undo this damage.

Been a while since I tinkered and so with some trepidation I thought I'd try the switching between different launchers using Tasker.
After some swearing I managed to get it working using the guide HERE
Got Niagra on the front and Nova on the large screen!

does "tasker" work faster than the "Bixby Routines" method? im using Microsoft launcher (small) Nova 7 (larger)

Pretty instantaneous I find, and if the wrong launcher shows, (although this is rare) a swipe up reverts the screen to the correct one.

			
				
The Bixby Routines version works well for me.
Now.... If there was only a way to have two instances of Nova Launcher running on the device at the same time, I could have version one layout on the cover screen and version two layout on the inner screen.
Anyone any ideas?

Maybe you can help sorry for bothering you. Everything seems to be setup except when folded or unfolded I have to hit the home button manually for the launcher to change. Do you happen to know how I can fix this?.
