"Immersive Mode" just the way you like!
The "Immersive Mode" itself is a awesome feature right? But it's really annoying
that some apps don't make use of this beautiful way to enjoy a bigger screen.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could define the way it works yourself?
Well now you can with "Immersive Manager".
"Immersive Manager" allows you to tweak every aspect of where and how the
"Immersive Mode" should work on your device.
You can either define a global "Immersive Mode" which will be applied system wide.
Or if you wanna go further you can define the "Immersive Mode" per-app.
The following options are available and can be applied individually:
Full -> Will hide both the status bar and the navigation bar
Status -> Will only hide the status bar
Navigation -> Will only hide the navigation bar
None -> Will leave both system bars visible
No root required!
No draining background services!
No hacky or buggy overlays!
Just a simple and clean user interface which applies your settings in real time.
In order to make "Immersive Manager" work the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission must be granted.
Normally this permission is only granted to system applications because it allows the app to write system settings.
If you're device is rooted you can grant the permission from inside the app with just one click.
Otherwise you have to do it manually with a simple ADB command.
You will find a detailed tutorial inside the app.
There's also a super handy quick settings tile to switch between "Immersive Mode"'s
The internet permission is used for analytics only.
"Immersive Manager" also offers support for Tasker view broadcasts.
So let's go make the "Immersive Mode" your own
More features will come in the future.
Android ADB PC instructions
1 - Enable Developer Mode in the Android settings.
2 - Enable USB Debugging
3 - Setup ADB on your PC
4 - Run the following adb command to grant the permission:
adb shell pm grant com.ivianuu.immersivemodemanager android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Superb at hiding the status bar! Thank you for helping prevent burn in on my OLED phone. have a few small issues with editing text boxes but this can be resolved by setting app exclusions, like I did for text messaging. App is worth every penny!

Hi i ve purchased and been using this for quite awhile now. the per app setting festure is great! i have a small request if u could allow per app setting to also allow a [apply setting only when device in landscape mode] option. usually i want to hide only when in landscape. and have the bars in portrait. would be perfect if u would implement it. thank you.

Worked alright, too bad I was a bit too eager to get the paid version when later I found out Tasker has this option. No possibilities to get a refund, bummer...

I guess it works but all it does is hides the top and bottom bars.... This can be done in 2 seconds via Nova launcher. I tried this app specifically for Spectrum Live TV app and Xbox app for remote streaming games. It didn't stretch the image across the screen so eliminating the two bars is irrelevant and useless.

Lol this guy is literally repackaging the "immersive" intent into an app with a UI. Save your money, automate the same intent using Tasker. Has not even implemented the BASIC option to disable immersive mode when the keyboard is present - THIS PREVENTS YOU FROM SEEING WHAT YOU'RE TYPING IN APPS. Better to try a different solution (hint: one exists here with the keyboard solution).
