Hi everyone!
Tried searching for similar thread, but not found.
So let's share pictures and/or videos of your desktops, share info on what launcher you use, some useful hints, ideas with others.
Let me begin.
My setup is based on Lightning Launcher Extreme. I learned about it just recently.
It is probably the most customizable launcher ever: unlimited number of desktops, provides different kinds of items and containers, everything can be customized and the most I like in it: it is scriptable in JavaScript!
Here's a video of my head unit (it's a bit intermittent, sorry for that):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgL8oOJThV0
On this video:
- auto-hideable, sliding-out menu panel at the left, where I put frequently used apps to not occupy screen all the time;
- "now playing" text at bottom, made without any widgets, using built-in "Text" object with some JavaScript receiving info from Neutron Player (on video) and also capable to get data from PCRadio app;
- GPS speed (it shows as 0 all the time as the car was steady) and voltage that appeared after I turned the ignition ON - these are "Text" objects too, with script receiving data from Torque application, again, no 3-rd party widgets;
In general, I prefer contrast themes with dark background/white content, as it most visible on sunny days, this is quite important while driving a car.
For now, my imagination exhausted on a single desktop I just cannot think of why do I need another, what would I put there?
Sometimes i like to use my phone while laying on my side in bed. I hate landscape mode so I turn the phone to portrait mode only.
This works for apps like chrome or the home screen however some banking apps like hanscom Federal Credit union seem to ignore this setting and if you rotate the phone the app still rotates even though the setting is set on the phone.
Would this be a note 9 issue or an issue with the app itself? How can the app override a system setting?

Let's discuss about dark mode. For me both light and dark has its pro's and cons. Let's hear yours.

Found out that the dark mode really just "inverts" colors...for example: All my facebook notifications, the profile picture for the person that made the notification shows like the colors have been inverted. Pretty lazy way to implement dark mode imo...not sure if it's on FB to fix it or Google/OnePlus lol. Looks very tacky though.
Seems to me as though if an app doesn't have a dark mode to switch to the statusbar icons go black on the dark background making them impossible to see when dev settings force dark mode is on. Maybe there's a setting I'm missing. Kinda like it either way, though, so dealing with the minor inconvenience.

Yes, i can confirm the same behavior.
Also if anyone is using 3rd party launcher like Lawnchair then the google search widget on the launcher shows white/light text. Mind you this is not the standard google search widget rather it is part of the dock.
There are other few issues with dark mode as well, will post it when i remember.
The fact that I can change at will is good enough for me. I typically change to dark for a few days until I get tired. Often when outside in bright daylight dark doesn't work well for my taste. I spend about 25% on dark.
For me the play store has gone black today. Looks nice.
I can not live with the force dark mode flag.
Comments in facebook are white with light grey text "not readable"
The Google apps that have native dark mode look fine to me, inside or outside.
Still waiting for the server side release of Dark mode for Gmail, it will look great.

Yes..I feel the same. Poor implementation of dark mode. Just inverting colors make some things look weird, glitchy and somethings unreadable. I have returned back to light mode.
Dark mode is not working correctly because app developers have yet to implement it properly. The OnePlus setting is not a true dark mode. I believe iOS 11 had a similar feature that was never fully implemented by app developers until iOS 13. Android 10 is playing catch-up in this area.
The Google apps, however, are being rolled out properly. I have proper dark mode on all of those with the exception of Gmail and Google Assistant. This could take some time to fully implement.
I finally got around to looking at this old chestnut while working on another project. I like the app because of its very low overhead, the fact that it can be used as a Tasker plugin, and the fact that it can truly lock in landscape mode by running a temporary background service. But if you use it as a standalone you have to memorize the options in the popup because you can't see any of them!
No more! It took a bit of underhanded fiddling, but I finally got it to display black text on a white background. Yay!
If you already run the app, you'll need to uninstall it before installing the mod as they have different signatures.
So, on my old OneOlus 7, i would simply start the app, lock it from recent apps drawer, minimise it, and it'd run in the background for as long as i wanted. Even if i played a game or do anything, the app would run no issues.
On Rog 3, the app is closed randomly after 10 seconds or 5 minutes.
I have every background restriction i could find, disabled. Armoury Crate has Memory cleaner disabled as well.
Any method to keep an app running minimised in background guys?
Add the app to OptiFlex.
In app settings:
- Background Restriction = Disabled​- Battery Optimization = Disabled​- Background app management = Disabled​
Also, if you need the app to automatically start on every boot/reset, add it in Auto Start Manager.
That's it.
Already did all these.
It's still beeing closed damn it
