Any way to remove the ugly shadow gradient in the quick settings?

I can't be the only one this eyesore bugs. Is there a way remove or mask it?

lol No, I'm talking about the shadow at the bottom not the icons. I guess the screenshot isn't showing my issue off very well.

To see the shadowing one must turn the brightness to the max. I don't know how to get rid of it. I know I don't have it but I am in Nougat. And not so many icons can be presented at once.

Screenshot does show it quite well, I see what you mean. I guess it may look different on different screens ... and eyes [emoji14]
That said, I don't know how to fix it. Maybe try looking at some Xposed modules (you are running Marshmallow, right?)

Small navbar mod

Hello. There is someone who can do mod reducing navbar?

I too would like this but hopefully without root since I'm on Verizon and I don't we'll ever get root

Does changing the display size help with it? Ignorant that they don't auto hide like my g3 and g4 did. They do while in the camera

The display size helps yeah.

I would also love this but pretty sure it will require root as the navbar is controlled through systemui.apk and any edits to that require root

Could we not use adb to somehow hide them? I know on some phones, for example, the s8 is capable of hiding it through adb. Just a thought...

OK where is it?

As you can see I've hidden the nav bar. After 3 second the nav bar goes away. The app does not fill now of the screen. But there's a section to swipe up on to reveal the nav bar again. That's best I've found. See attached screen shots for examples.

@op don't mean to stray from original question of navigation bar. Just sharing.

GMD Auto hide Soft keys, but u need root
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys&hl=de

By setting the Display Size too small under Settings, the navbar can be smaller than default.
But I have another question, I'd like to use clear themes so the whole system UI is clear (not dark or black), but I'd like also whatever clear theme I use, to keep the navbar ALWAYS black, which isn't the case with all the clear themes I've tried.
Some apps follow the on screen app color to make the navbar the same color, but some apps such as xda labs, quickpic, imdb etc. just won't follow and therefore, the navbar remains white or clear (if a clear theme is applied).
I've tried quite a bunch of navbar apps from PlayStore, couldn't find one that would suit my needs, and I don't want to try Substratum app/themes on the G6, cause I've had some "bad" experiences on my previous phones.
So do you guys know if there's a way to mod this?
Thanks and have a nice day.

Interesting question, I'm with you on making the navigation bar (shorter I guess) does anybody know of a way to get fully immersive? I always liked our controls and having something on the screen I don't always need kinda bugs me a little

Notch - Do you hide it? Do you notice it?

I've had my pixel 3 xl for 2 weeks now, and was intent on using nacho notch to hide it initially.
I did some reading up on nacho and a couple of other options and went to do some more research on the pros and cons.
by the time I'd read what I wanted to, I have to say... the notch really doesn't bother me now. I barely notice it
anyone else in the same boat?
or do you still hate it with a passion?

I don't like it, but overall the screen is so much better than the 2 XL so I deal with it.

I hid it at first with Nacho Notch then left the notch on for a while and have gotten used to it.

Tried it for a week, hated it, almost returned the phone because of it. Then I just disabled it and now love the phone. Also tried nacho notch but it's got some quirks I still don't like.

Doesn't bother me but I prefer to have it hidden.

I don't mind it at all. I've used Nacho Notch since day one.

How did you disable it without Nacho?

I don't hide it because I like the status bar up there and out of the way. At first I thought it was a terrible idea but once I used the phone I don't mind it at all. Nacho makes the screen smaller so I don't use it.

I've got developer options unlocked. (that's one of the very first things I always do)
I've got the first few options, then debugging, networking, input, drawing, hardware accelerated rendering, media, monitoring, apps,
but don't see display cutout

I just use nacho notch. Was the first app I DLed when I set up the phone. It isnt perfect, but good enough.

Bingo
though I'm now used to the notch, it looks wierd without

Noticed it a little bit on the first day, decided not to hide it and now I don't even notice it. I quite like how the status bar/icons are tucked right up there.
The notch is actually not that bad in person. Photos make it look much bigger.

I love the device but can't tolerate the notch so I hid it.

Nacho Notch does not make the screen smaller. It keeps the icons up in the top corners.

Yup my mistake. I was thinking when you hide it in dev options. Still I don't care for the blacked out area either. I'd rather have my background fill it.

True immersive mod

Hello there,
With my GS8, I was able to hide status bar to enter in immersive mod.
With my GS20+, this option is not available anymore.
I try to enter into immersive mod with some ADB commands but a Black bar stay present during the navigation.
Is there any solution to fix it ?

something like this? But you need root.

The way I did it is with System UI Tuner from the Play Store and it works fine. For some reason, tge ADB commands for immersive mode get weird on newer Samsung devices and leave the black bar at the top of the screen but work just fine on other devices such as OnePlus and LG, but with System UI Tuner, you can enable immersive mode on Samsung devices just fine.
Here is a link to it in the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner
You will have to run ADB commands to enable permissions for it but it works great. I have used it successfully on the S9, S10, and now the S20. No root is required either.

I used that one on my S8 and actually still have the link to that page saved in an email I sent to myself. I had issues with it on my S10. I have been using System UI Tuner on my Samsung devices since the S10, although I did use it on one or two of the S9s I had because it was just faster.
I didn't have to use System UI Tuner on any of the OnePlus phones I had because the ADB commands worked fine. I use gestures on my phone so I don't need to hide the navigation bar since there is an option to hide it built into Android 10 when using gestures, I just had to hide the status bar.

System UI tuner still leaves a black bar on top on my S20 Ultra.
I think we need root for a true immerssive mode.

Well, with killing I meant a clean display without the black bar lmao. @chieco No I don't got root rights, but afaik this is achievable even without root. My guess is that the android version with one ui does not support immersive mode for the given display resolution. However, there should be a solution for this.

How did you get rid of the black bar on S20?
I tried immersive mode "full" and "status", and neither provided true immersive mode. The clock, network status and battery icon disappear, but launching any app still shows a black bar across the top. "Immersive mode" just removes text from the top, but the black bar remains.

@Mucky2
unfortunately you are wrong. It's sadly not possible to achieve Full Immersive Mode without root.. your guesses are wrong. There is a non-root option but that costs money and doesn't work for all apps and it has few other downsides to it. A friend of mine found the method I'm currently using, and it also works on my S20+ that is rooted.
@sublimaze
He didn't! he's talking crap. He is one of those people who's knowledge isn't updated and think those old method's still work. Since my S10 every time I opened a thread here or on reddit, there are always these people who pop in think they know it all but in reality they make claims that are untrue and can't be backed up by them. I asked him to show proof but nada! Because he can't! But he sounded so sure...
My friend is the only one who knows how. But he asked me not to share it. Maybe I can finally convince him to join xda and share his method with us.

Yes it is rooted. I would say one more reason to root that's how it goes folks if you want full control of your device you need to root it. Otherwise Sammy is going to dictate everything you can and can't do with it. Must feel good to pay upwards of 1000$ and not being able to get rid of the Statusbar. It was especially annoying on the S10 since the Statusbar was sooo huge due to the punch hole being big af. Atleast on the S20 line the punch hole shrank enough where the statusbar is at a normal hight.

Question Full screen apps arghhhhh

Got the phone on Wednesday coming from a pixel 5. Must say what a great phone it is camera could be better but I'm sure with a few updates it will shine. Display and build quality spot on. One thing that does annoy me the most is the inability to force apps into full screen. Unless I'm missing something is there a way to force apps to full screen?

There's a way to remove the nav bar, but am too looking everywhere to hide the status bar. With Nova you can hide the status bar on the homescreen though.
