Ok so I originally posted this question here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2556217
but I was told it was probably the wrong place and I should ask it in this section.
When I play some games, for example Paper Monsters, or Cordy 2, the game orients itself to landscape but upside down, and when I flip it the other way, the game keeps changing to upside down. I have no idea what the heck is going on!? The orientation and rotation settings work great for pretty much every other app, which means so far I haven't found any other apps doing this. Could it be a problem with the ROM I'm on? This is the ROM I'm using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482192
There are some apps I can download from the PLAY store to help compensate for this issue somewhat, one I'm using called "Set Orientation" and it works ok but it sets the global rotation for everything, even some apps that shouldn't rotate. It's a decent bandaid I just have to set it to disabled when I'm using the apps that I don't want to rotate, for example, gravity / physics apps where you rotate and move your device all around to get maybe balls or particles moving in different directions. I would like a permanent fix however. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! :good::good::good::laugh::laugh:
I want to be fixed this problem.
Kindle 8.9 display is should rotate left-to-top, right-to-bottom. Official case is designed like that.
This seems in CM11.0 and CM12.0. Is there no plans to fix it?
So I've been scouring the internet looking for something I saw in a custom ROM for the N6 and I can't for the life of me remember which ROM it was and haven't been able to find any reference to any feature resembling this.
There was a ROM, don't recall if it was LP or MM that had the softkeys go into low-profile mode after a couple of seconds regardless of what app you were in (done at the root/kernel level is my guess). I've attempted to make a root app that will do this to no avail so far. Though I can get a stand alone app to do this rather well until of course I exit the app.
Is there a kernel or a mod out there that will do this system-wide?
I'd imagine I could just start a root-level process at boot that watches the UI thread for state changes to the visibility properties and waits 2 seconds then resets it to SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE.
Thoughts on the easiest way to acquire or add this feature?
I know that Cataclysm ROM has this feature.
I just looked into it and it's almost what I'm looking for. Looking at the video and the source code all this does is programmatically change the alpha of the softkeys, it doesn't trigger SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE which I've seen in another ROM. I also found that same mod in the eXistenZ Premium Rom for Sony Xperia. I've been working for two days on creating a mod myself no no avail. Very frustrating indeed.
Well, I got a refurb. 32GB Nexus 6 on ebay.
Love the phone, so far I unlocked the bootloader and manually flashed the latest 6.0.1 image from the google site.
I have not yet rooted the phone or installed a custom recovery.
I am wondering what kind of tweaks you guys are running on the phone?
So far I want to have these:
DPI change - icons and UI are huge
Black Settings menu
Vibration strength needs to go down
Speaker volume increase
Double Tap to wake
Possibly a better camera app (not sure which one is best, im coming from Lg G4-that phone was crap, battery life and heat killed it for me)
"DPI change - icons and UI are huge"
Pointless, waste of time, unnecessarily risky. Buy Nova Launcher and you can have as many small icons on your home screens and app drawer as you like. (If you're interested I'll post a screenshot).
"Double Tap to wake"
Requires root. I use the app Double Tap to Wake, and it's pretty good but doesn't work 100% of the time. I read a long time ago that it's in the ROM but Google disabled it for this very reason - doesn't work every time, so a flaw in the hardware/ROM, not in the app.
These two in conjunction minimise the use of the power button - and you don't have to look far in this forum to find how many people have power button problems. Double Tap to wake the phone, and Nova's swipe gesture (paid version only) to lock it - great combination. Plus all the other stuff that Nova does, so much stuff that I doubt I use a quarter of its functionality.
And I don't have shares - I'm just a very happy buyer...
I made my own rom.
And Nova Prime is on offer now on Play Store for 50p - 70 cents...
for dpi, i've used an app called textdroider_dpi and set mine to 420 with no problems. Everything works fine - Play store, Android Pay etc and it looks great.
For volume, use the ROM in my sig. It's sweet
Looks like the OP has lost interest...?

Well, I didn't see a thread here related to Beta-1 being available and unless everyone on XDA also reads the OnePlus community forums, it's probable there are people out there who don't know Beta-1 has been released. I also figured this could be a place to discuss bug findings and fixes/workarounds in a forum where, in my opinion, the technical skills of the average poster is higher and that we would see better problem reporting and solutions rather than posts on how to revert back or about when will Q stable be released.
Now, regarding your post, what was your point in posting your comment?

I was just curious. It makes more sense when you put it that way. I just figured @funkwizard is gonna make a post about it soon since he's usually the one that makes official posts about things related to OnePlus. There are already a few other bug posts about the beta so I just don't see a point in having multiple posts about the same thing cause then it just confusing and certain people like to ask the same thing on multiple threads instead of searching and then people have to answer the same questions people ask when they post the same thing all the time.

Dropped. Meaning as landed, released, came out, etc. ??*
Stating it's for the 7 series is not technically correct as 7 pro 5G is once again left out and not considered or taken seriously

I get that when I try Nova or Lawnchair launchers, it will always revert back to the 3 buttons. I also got stuck while playing Fallout yesterday. I had the gestures turned on and could not get out of the game. Swipe up (home) or swipe up and hold (recent) wouldn't work. I was able to finally go back to the launcher by going nuts tapping randomly on the screen but that was as interesting bug... stuck in a game.
RSA still hasn't bothered updating their token app for Android Q, it still thinks my phone has no network connectivity (cell or WIFI)
Android 10 Encryption :/
Is there a workaround to acces the "/" partition when magisk won't work? Or acces an android q encrypted internal storage?

You can switch back to gestures after setting a new launcher but I'm not sure how stable that it, the OS might want to revert back a few minutes later.

Yeah that's what it was doing to me. But the network lock (no signal) was the killer

I believe this has something to do with how the phone handles other launchers. When you are in another app for some time and then go back to home screen, the launcher gets opened which resets the buttons.
Already reported to OnePlus. I think others have also reported this to OnePlus.
If you want to consistently reproduce this issue, Just change the default launcher to OnePlus launcher and back to Nova, you will see the navbars reset
Battery life seems much better than DP5 for me. It has only been 24 hours of course so it's not long enough but I lost 6% battery for 3 hours at work while on DP5 it was closer to 20% for 3 hours of light use.

Interestingly the gestures now rotate with the phone meaning to exit you must swipe on the horizontal edge.
Does anybody know why we don't get the dark mode? Pixel has it but why don't we? I don't mean the bad "forced" dark mode in developer options.

Use force dark ui in dev settings. Although I don't recommend because apps like Facebook and suck don't have dark mode and text will be unreadable

While I had override force dark on my ambient display became completely gray? I'm guessing it's just a system wide color inverter
Unfortunately the navbar will keep switching back on reboot/launcher change until OP fixes it. "Officially" the gesture navigation should only work with the stock launcher (since elements of the navigation are in the launcher itself), thus changing launchers will kill it (even though it is clear that the navigation works just fine without using the stock launcher). The reset is most likely caused by leftover code that checks if the launcher can provide the navigation gestures + recents, and if it can't, it disables the gestures (then proceeds to load recents + nav gestures from the fallback launcher, which is the stock one, but the reset still happens).
As for when the home gesture doesn't work. Try opening and closing the notification drawer, that usually fixes the nav gesture issues for me.

Hello everybody.
I noticed there are some issues trying to use third party launchers such as NOVA or SmartLauncher.
Or, at least, that's what happens to me with the One UI 3.1.
I've been using NOVA since my first NEXUS and since then, moving to S7 up to the Note 10, even after choosing to be part of the Beta Testing Program, I've never had problems.
Now there are some laggy and crash issues. With both of the launchers aforementioned.
I don't know if this is due to the choice of using gestures instead on the buttons in the navigation bar (it doesn't look like, considering I tried to change) but it causes strange "movements" everytime I go back home: like the launcher restarts itself, if you know what I mean.
That never happened on my last device (the Note 10) with One UI 2.5: that's the reason why I'm seriously thinking it could be a problem of compatibility with the latest stock UI version.
Anybody with the same problem? Same issues? Or this "monster" behaves like it should?
Thank you
Best
IMPORTANT EDIT: I tried again and yes, it is gesture related. Deactivating the gesture navigation bar, everything went back to normal.
Yup, same issue. Flashes white after the next immediate touch action, blocking whatever that action was. Doesn't affect the stock launcher. I reported it to Samsung through their members app. Had to switch off of gesture navigation because of it. Dunno if the other gesture navigation is broken but I'm on buttons again.
I'm using good lock one hand operation + and FNG to compensate so left and right are still back. Swipe up is home and swipe up hold is recents.
Well the issue is with Google's gesture implementation. I am facing the issue with gestures too and contacted Nova launcher support and they have blamed google for it.
Its true, disabling gestures, everything works fine. I hope someone will find a solution to this.
I used Microsoft launcher and it seems fine.

Maybe it's only affecting launchers with the Google feed
I'm running a 10+ on Pie. The native launcher is fast and very stable.
I played around with Nova and a few others including Hyperion launcher. The latter boot looped my stock 10+ twice, back to back.
2 factory resets latter I was fuming. That was the first app to ever boot loop any of my Androids in 6 years. The developer had nothing to say. REALLY? F$$$ that!
Launchers have a very real potential to cause a boot loop. Take any instability seriously; there should be none.
The stock launcher uses less battery.
Because of all the Samsung built in customization plus Galaxy Store plugins and the Good Lock family of apps, the stock launcher is better than even Nova. Easier to use and more stable.
I stopped wasting my time sampling launchers. My last reload was almost a year ago; it remains fast, very stable with low battery usage. It looks and runs great... what's not to like?

Hi.
I must say that you're right: latest UI version in very fast and stable. All the possibilities you can add with GOOD LOCK are definitely a serious improvement. There is a "missing" feature, though: those damn' icons.
I really don't understand why we must be forced to use those ugly ones on the Galaxy Store and why they decided not to allow us to change at least the shape (with the UI 3.1), as this is a stock functionality.
Let's see what will happen in the future.

I've been using Apex Launcher Classic for years without issue and icon packs to customize (Desaturate pack is current favorite)
Works just fine with UI 3.1
I don't use the Gesture mode

I agree to an extent, but the current version on One Ui Home has a number of issues as well;
Freezing whenever you long press on the home screen, so you can't add widgets
Task changer keeps resetting
Why oh why won't they give us vertical scrolling in the apps menu
I distinctly remember there being similar issues with my s10+ at launch, so hopefully be fixed in the future

The last point is true however the first two aren't for me. No issues with widgets or Task changer.
The white icon label lettering irritates me though but it's not not all the trouble comes with 3rd party launchers.

Sure. Full of crappy icons and comic-sans-like fonts... Not considering that those on the Galaxy Store only change the stock icons and a few more.

Believe me, I would be happy just having the possibility to choose the shape, as every other manufacturer on the planet allows.

Shape? Round, square... -far- less worse than Google or Apple designs
It's a pain sorting through them but there are good ones in there that most will like... for free.
If you're willing to take the performance and stability hit to have the "shape" well every rose has it's thorns.

Me too! No problems until now!
I have been using nova launcher on my s21 ultra, since i got the phone ( with no gestures, only buttons ).
And i thought i was having a nice experience.
A few days ago i messed up my phone, debloated the wrong apps and had to factory reset. Since i was going with a fresh install i decided to use OneUI + some goodlock modules.
Boy.. i was wrong about the nova experience. Now i know how fluid and responsive the phone is supposed to be.
Anyway, apart from that, this is the official info from NOVA:
Google has made it very clear that they have no plans to completely fix gesture-related issues any time in the near or even distant future.
Please take note that Google admits to this being broken on their end of things and that a fix will be coming in a future update to Android (stated March 2019).
However, it's now well over a year later and there are still many issues with full system gestures and 3rd party launchers on both Android 10 and Android 11. These issues will remain for the foreseeable future as Google have now made it clear that they have no plans to completely fix their full system gestures.
Notable issues with gestures on third party launchers include:
• Close all/Clear app button not appearing(scroll all the way to verify it's not there)
• Not being able to tap icons for a short time after returning to the home screen
• Animations not being as fluid as expected
Please understand, there is absolutely NOTHING WE CAN DO TO FIX OR CHANGE THIS IN ANY WAY! Contact Google or your device OEM directly with these issues as we have absolutely no control over it whatsoever.

Install Hexed from the Play Store. Personalize a theme and in preferences check Navigation Bar Height and set it to 0. In regular Android settings make sure it's set to use the NavBar buttons and not the gestures. Install any third party gestures app that you like. Set up your third party gestures app then restart the phone. Then you'll have fully working third party gestures and everything will work like it used to. This is the only way I have found that fully fixes the gesture issues.
