About Immersive Full-Screen Mode

Enter the Immersive Mode. This is the full screen mode on Kit-Kat and Lollipop.

IMPORTANT:
* Because of an Android limitation, the keyboard will not work while in immersive mode.

This tool can enter and leave the new Immersive Mode so that you can take advantage of every pixel on your screen. This will thus hide the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.

Features:
* Enter and leave immersive mode from settings
* Enter and leave immersive mode from the notification area
* Multiple options on how and when a notification should be displayed
* Choose to also hide the status bar on top
* Can automatically enter immersive mode on selected applications
* Has a blacklist for applications that you rather never have in immersive mode
* Contains a widget to toggle the state
* Has Tasker/Locale support
* Does not require root! So no root is needed, no extra configuration is needed, works out of the box!
* Public intents
- be.ppareit.immersivemode.ACTION_ENTER_IMMERSIVEMODE
- be.ppareit.immersivemode.ACTION_LEAVE_IMMERSIVEMODE
- be.ppareit.immersivemode.ACTION_TOGGLE_IMMERSIVEMODE
are available, for instance to script some action

Known issues:
* Keyboard only works in certain cases. It might be needed to exit immersive mode for certain applications to use the keyboard. This is a security feature of android.
* Some applications can't handle switching to immersive mode. Those applications don't follow the normal design guidelines of android. Mostly games have this problem.
* On the cyanogenmod ROM, the home button will not work

Only seems to work in manual mode correctly (via the tray bar). In auto enter or blacklist mode on android 7 it doesn't toggle apps I want consistently and or freezes and drops out.

K70%

Dropping 2 stars after after update. Notification will randomly disappear from top tray forcing me to exit current app I'm using and reopen settings. Never had to do that before the update.

C70%

This app is good, it does what it says, but I think it needs more improvement. For example I wish I could use my keyboard well this app is in use. I also wish it wouldn't go off on it's own. And I also don't understand why the home keys and keyboard are not available, when you blacklist an app. All in all I just really wish I didn't have to turn this app manually off and on every time I need to use my keyboard to type something. I feel like I'm using the free version of this app, than the paid one.

Those devs that don't conform to android guidelines should have their work removed until they do. This app tries it's best despite this and I guess the low rating is because of the app/games nonconformity to android guidelines preventing this app from doing its excellent job.

Have always loved this app. Could Android N have a quick settings toggle? That would be amazing

H70%
by H####:

Had to uninstall and reinstall to get working again and also takes some tweaking to get particular apps to work, like keyboards, but otherwise very good.

E70%

Very buggy and take a while to activate from the status bar. Otherwise it works very well and is worth the money vs all the crappy free ones.

Not truly immersive mode as I still have a black bar on top...

It dosent work on some apps, on my Nexus 5 with Android 5.0 Lollipop.

There is no ART support yet. For people running Android L or just using ART in general, this doesn't work yet. Since there is no root, there is no immersive because of this. We get error 24 when we try to install it. Otherwise, great app. I want to be able to use it again.

At first I wasn't too fond of this app. I found it annoying to have to either go into the app or go to the notification shade to toggle it on/off. But then I found the auto enter list in the settings where you can choose from a list of your apps and make them go full screen upon startup. There's also an option to stop apps that normally go into immersion mode from doing so. Overall a great app and worth every cent.

Leaves a black bar about twice as thick as status bat after disabling hide status bar that remains until reboot. But hey the back keys work.

Good but for some reason this app doesn't let me watch YouTube videos. There's audio, but just a black screen. I know its the app because I deactivate it and YouTube works fine again. Also the keyboard fails to work

B70%
by B####:

Vital on nexus devices, works fine on nexus 7 2 and nexus 9, wish keyboard worked better though but I'm more than happy with full screen alone. EDIT app is now taking ages to open, I've only got a few autos set that's all, sometimes it just pops not responding, I'm on android 6.0.1 if that's why? Worked very well at first then got slower and slower to open.

N70%
by N####:

I'm not sure why but the switch between apps is a good 1-2 sec delay. Also, blacklisting Hangouts for example sometimes does not work depending on which app I switch from when entering a blacklisted app. When swiping up from immersive mode the navigation bar is transparent which works great but I'd like the option for actual nav standard bar to come back. I'd also like to set how long it should stay before disappearing again. I'm still keeping it to see if developer will change things in the future.

But the keyboard problem socks a lot. Because on my BlackBerry priv I have a physical keyboard and can't even use it as a track pad now while in immersion mode. Please see if there's a fix for this.

Better than GMD. Tested with Pixel C Tablet Thank you.

I installed this because my phone's default autohide was not hiding when I wanted it to. Namely when I launch any Ninja Kiwi games. The small fee to download the app was extremely with it!

Y70%
by Y####:

Great app to hide navigation bars and add screen real estate for a device with on-screen buttons and help prevent burn in, however, it would be nice if you could set settings to also allow notification bar being hidden and not just navigation bar. Also, some apps have just a black bar where the navigation bar would be instead of hiding it. Google Play Store and Gmail are examples.

This will help avoid screen burn in on my nexus 6. Especially since I use chrome a lot... There are some bugs but they're not a deal breaker. Just hoping Dev is working on them.

Excellent.

Y70%
by Y####:

Awesome! Everything you'd expect from an immersive app, plus two amazing additional features. 1) You can configure some apps to always (or never) be in immersive mode, so that you don't have to manually switch when opening that app. 2) I have home, recent apps, and back buttons configured via a Pie Control app (a totally different app), but most immersive apps make the back button not work when in immersive mode. But for this app, the back button still works! That makes this immersive mode app WAY more useful than other such apps. I highly recommend it!

Wanted an app to put my phone in full screen mode when I use waze. Does exactly that. Brilliant and simple.

Best immersive app on the market

It works great on my ZTE Max+ but the keyboard is completely disabled, even after checking the option to try and enable. This is a great app! I hope to see some updates!

Auto immersive only works 50% of the time. Switching between immersive and non immersive between apps is somewhat inconsistent. Overall it lags my phone (moto x 2014). Still a great app, waiting for more improvements and features. Hopefully a timer is added for us to adjust how long before it goes back into immersive mode.

Have always loved this app. Stopped working suddenly. Related to newest Nexus 6 security update?

D70%
by D####:

It works as advertised, albeit sometimes, depending on the app, there's a possibility of facing a black screen as a given app will refuse to work with immersive mode toggled on. Essential for games yet to support the feature natively. Recommended!

Thanks for the update for Lollipop! Now the Auto enter and exit works like a charm. The only bug being the keyboard but this bug is in every immersive/full screen app... I tried installing another keyboard and blacklisting that keyboard (trying for a work around) but to no avail... I hope there is a fix at some point... It's still an awesome app.
