I have been using an app called Granular Immersive Mode that does not require root to hide the status bar on selected applications. You do need to grant permission through ADB but the instructions are fairly clear and straightforward. After the update today the app stopped working as it used to, it no longer hides the status bar, just changes color to black, I have tried other immersive mode apps and they are all working in the same fashion. This is a big bummer for me...be aware if you are running the update today and any tips or work arounds would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have this phone but Fluid NG gestures doesn't hide the navbar since android 11. I have to use a magisk module to get rid of the navbar.

LG put a backed-in option to hide the navbar now but there is no way to hide the status bar which bothers me the same.

It's because Google nuked overscan from Android with Android 11. Overscan is what allowed pretty much every third-party app in existence to "push" things like status bars and navigation bars offscreen. When asked about this, Google admitted that killing overscan is a feature, not a bug, so sadly, it's here to stay. It blows.
I loved FNG, but I've since had to revert to LG's gestures (which, to their credit, are WAY better and smoother than they were in Android 10, IMO). I can't root my phone, so it is what it is.

Hello.
I just installed KitKat from http://forum.xda-developers.com/oma...rom-omate-truesmart-ironman-firmware-t2998434 and it looks like most apps launch in fullscreen mode and I have trouble getting the status bar back anywhere except from the default launcher.
Is there a way to disable this "fullscreen by default" setting anywhere?

No, this is changed in the ROM. We do not know how it is done, the Umeox/MediaTek changes are hidden.
The change is different from 4.2, so SwipeStatusBar very seldom work.
The workaround is rooting, Xposed, GravityBox and enabling Expanded Desktop.
Permanent status bar
I finally have a working PoC for permanently enabling the status bar in every app, and will try to build an Xposed module to control the visibility of the status bar in these smart watches. I'll be back
Edit:
I'm back.
Xposed module to enable the status bar in (most) launchers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/truesmart-status-bar-custom-launchers-t3063624
(N.B! Only tested on a 4.4 ROM)
After quite some smali digging I was finally able to put together an Xposed module that enables the status bar in custom launchers (and other apps as well, if desired).
This is the very first alpha version, and it is only tested with X201-KK BASE. The module will most likely work with other 4.4 ROMS for x201 smart watches as well.
Changelog
Version 0.1: First release. Enables the status bar in most launchers. Does not play well with GravityBox.
Version 0.2: Enables the status bar in all apps. Use other Xposed modules to enable full screen mode when desired. Does work well alongside GravityBox, Xposed Additions, etc.

Click on the Download tab above, download and manually install the APK (for now).
The module should then show up in Xposed Installer. Just activate it and reboot.

Installed OK. Deactivated GravityBox when trying out.
By default, I only get the status bar flashing when first opening an application. If I am quick, I can pull down notifications.
In Nova, I can Toggle Notification Bar (shortcut) to see the status bar, but not other apps. Tried App Settings too.
At least something, it is a pain that Omate/Umeox chose to remove the status bar the way they did instead of using Android built in functionality.
The current version only enables the status bar in apps with "launcher" in their package name.
It's an ugly hack, I know, but I just wanted status bar in Nova, Launcher 8, etc. for now. It's an alpha version, you know.
I can release another APK to enable the status bar in every application, but it will not look good with a status bar in the lock screen, for example.
I would prefer a settings screen to activate/deactivate the status bar on a per app basis.
Edit:
New version released. It enables the status bar in every app. I think it works with 4.2 ROMs as well, but haven't tested.

Hi nilezon, unfortunately it seems not working on 4.2 versions. As another said some posts above, I just can see the status bar for a while when I open an app in Nova Launcher, but it disappear afterwards nor I can see the notification bar in the apps themselves :crying:. Installed v.0.2 of the module.
It would be great if you could do something for 4.2 as well. Thanks.

My fault, it worked on 4.2.2. I had to performance a full reboot upon module activation. Previously the watch had fast reboot activated and it did not work after fast reboot. Just if someone else want to try the module on 4.2.

I set at alps x01 (aka imacwear m7) without problems! All the suits except that now the native dialer distorted and biased, how to fix? Can I do that all the application status bar hiding in full-screen mode?

I have a mi 8 on aosp android p, magisk installed.
"navigation guesture" has been installed and stock navbar was hidden.
I am wondering whether there are ways to disable stock navbar completely and force apps to run 18:9 ratio. That's really annoying to run apps with black bars..

try Fluid Navigation Gesture on Play Store. it have feature to disable nav bar however it must be granted permission through ADB or root
I'm looking for a way (a rom or other method) of getting the old vertical recents. Because I really want more than 1 ****ing option when switch apps, not a full-screen display of the same ****ing app I'm trying to switch off of. (Talk about idiotic design.)
Right now I have the Floko rom, which can switch between default horizontal, 1 app-per-onscreen recents and omniswitch recents, which kinda does the more-apps-to-choose-from part, but the double-tap to switch to previous app stops working.
Btw, In android 9, I could use the QuickSwitch magisk module, where I could select the "com.android.systemui" recents provider. But this provider is not available in A10. Sad life.
Bonus question: Any rom where there nav bar auto-hides and you can just swipe up from below to show it? (This used to be a feature in LineageOS called Expanded Desktop, but it's missing from Mi Pad 4 build of Lineage.)
I mean right now my "upgrade" to A10 so far is looking more of a downgrade than anything else. Which has been a theme with all kinds of things lately. Developers forgot to develop somewhere around 2019...?

Not much help for ya dude, but just saving you time trying the following rom : no recent options or nav bar hide in carbon rom
What you want is Resurrection Remix. One of the best custom roms out there as far as customization (IMHO).

I can confirm the feature is present in RR -- you just have to activate it in Settings.
I just got an Android 11 phone and to my dismay some older apps that display generally in a dark theme have an unmatching ugly white nav bar. This module turns nav bars black.

What phone, and can you make a semi transparent black for light and dark mode nav bar option

I have a OnePlus 9. But the xposed module will hopefully work on any Android 5.0 or higher phone.

It could be done, but since the apps won't be adapted for it, it might well obscure some app buttons at the bottom of the screen, so I am not inclined to do it. But if you want to, you can take the source code and just change opacity = 0xff to whatever you like in Hook.java.

In laposed what is supposed to get selected in scope system framework and systemui?
Or do I need to select every app that has a white navbar?

Finally, one that works. Tried on my Samsung Note 9 on Android 10. Thank you for sharing this module.
Edit: Turned out, it interferes with a button on my installed calendar app. I can't click a button at the bottom. I had to un-select my calendar app in LSposed. For my other apps, this module works fine so I still use it.
I just added two nav bar options in addition to black:
- 50% translucent
- match status bar (white when status bar is whitish; else black)

Hi arpruss, I can't find the settings to get to these added navbar options.
Can you guide us how to get to those options?
Thank you.

Tap on "Navigation bar."
Thank you. I found it
Hi @arpruss , would you consider adding another option for the nav bar to match the status bar color? For example when status bar is blue then nav bar is blue also.
Works perfectly on Oreo, thanks a lot
Hey, sorry for multipost but I wanted to push it to the top..
I'm on Oreo with the last, fully working version of Xposed as magisk module.
I noticed that some apps fail to "acknowledge" the navbar with your module enabled and that results in bottom bar,if they have one, being behind it and not being able to see or use it.
Can you please look into this issue?
Thanks for the module, I've been looking for something like this. Been using Nacho Notch to simulate something similar.
Seems like it can create some oddities in some apps. For example I've enabled it for YouTube (Vanced) and when I try to post a comment it refuses to show the comment box above the keyboard. Very odd issue, but it's fixed when I disable the module.
Also I cannot force the statusbar to be black?

Yeah, I had the same problem.
Some apps even don't show the bottom menu if they have it.
It's really a pity cause I use both navbar customized with GravityBox and Xposed Edge for gestures and can't imagine my life without both of them lol ;P
So I have to bear the white navbar for now
What if I want some black navbar to white?
