What is the big difference between 4.1 & 4.2 rom?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Photo Sphere panorama photos
Keyboard with gesture typing
Lock screen improvements, including widget support and the ability to swipe directly to camera
Notification power controls
"Daydream" screensaver, showing information when idle or docked
Multiple user accounts (tablets only)
Support for wireless display (Miracast)
Accessibility improvements: triple-tap to magnify the entire screen, pan and zoom with two fingers. Speech output and Gesture Mode navigation for blind users
New clock app with built-in world clock, stop watch and timer
All devices now use the same interface layout, adapted from phones on 4.1 for smaller tablets (with centered software buttons, the system bar at the top of the screen, and a similar home screen), regardless of screen size
Increased number of extended notifications and Actionable Notifications for more apps, allowing the response to certain notifications within the notification bar and without launching the app directly
SELinux
Always-on VPN
Premium SMS confirmation
Phone-like launcher for small tablets in Android 4.1 extended to larger tablets, as seen with the Nexus 10

After sideloading lots of apps onto the gear and comparing to the motoactiv, I have discovered the second most crippling thing about the gear after the lack of wifi is the square aspect ratio screen. It breaks 75% of the apps I try because they're designed for a 4:3 or wider screen and all the interface elements either overlap or are drawn off screen. It has excellent hardware, and with a normal aspect ratio like on other smartwatches it would run most apps and games perfectly.
The landscape/widescreen apps that do work tend to scale the image down so it fits within the width of the screen. Does anyone know if it might be possible to force apps to do this, or to fool them into thinking its a 320x240 screen? Like how paranoidandroid allows you to set the DPI for individual apps. It wouldn't be perfect not filling the screen, but it would at least allow the majority of apps to function.
If only it were 480x320 instead of 320x320...

What your asking from my knowledge is not possible..
One thing you can do tho is set the independent DPI's of apps like Paranoid Adnroid using xposed framework & app settings module.
You can also application titles, which breaks some apps although does free up some screen real estate.
I wonder if there is a possibility to change the width of the drop down panel which contain the notifications as I think it will be more cool to look like drop down panel in ipad which extend from both sides of the screen
Is there is a way ?
Ya, I agree. It's full screen in portrait mode, but not in landscape.
That's the way it was in 4.3 and it looked goofy. Reviewers and users *****ed and it was changed in 4.4.
Hey guys,
I am using the default OS that comes with the Huawei P10, and my phone is not rooted.
After the update to Android 9.0 with EMUI9 the pull down menu (quick menu from notification bar) is unbearable large. It seems like there are different DPI settings for the pull down menu only.
I actually can not stand the large icons, so normally I change to DPI 430 and/or change the size of text/display in the display settings.
However, it seems this does not have any impact anymore on the pull down menu.
Does anyone experience the same and has any idea how to fix this?

It is same for me and unfortunately it is default setting. I didn't try to modify anything with root yet but i seriously doubt that it is even possible to do something like that.
Same here. The dpi wont stick. I hope its just a bug. Not some crappy implementation from huawei.
N3O (or Nitrous Oxide i guess )
Who is it for:
devices with punchole or cutout displays
the black bar REALLY annoys you in landscape
clock behind camera annoys you just as much!
What it does:
Uses full screen in landscape mode
respects the cutout in portrait to ensure a normal status bar
Device Support
Preset for Oneplus 8/8T & 8 Pro
Preset for Pixel 5
Other devices via custom config (left/right cutouts, center cutouts experimental)
Custom mode for other left or right cutouts without presets (please share your values)
OS:
13 - Experimental builds (here)
12 - Experemental builds (here)
11 - AOSP based Roms
10 - Currently not supported (can install but bootloops reported)
Nonsense:
The only nonsesne here, is that devices that switch resolution need to have a specific cutout to match it. if you dynamically change resolution using tasker you need to switch overlays when you do so (seems to not affect powersave mode when at full resolution)
For up-to date information on features in the module and how to use it, check the documentation on git here
Where do i get it:
Github Releases: Releases · logmd/N3O-No-Nonsense-Notch-Overlay (github.com)
Here: N3O_v1.4I4Z.003.zip
Recognition
Gnonymous7 for Script base and install logic
Zackptg5 for MMT-Ex template.

All the testers and xda for providing a platform to test on
Thanks, works perfect for my Pixel 5
Only disadvantage is the blurry border ring around the hole punch camera.
Do you have any future plans to fix this?

Yeah think this happens for all "notch killer" ones as well.
Tbh a non root app with just a customizable circle would work to anti Alias the cutout
I could not find any existing ones from a quick search but may create one in the future.

Yeah i tried using the App Energy Ring and it worked when i color it to black.
But i don't need that function
Do you think that we can have an immersive mode on android 11 like it's working on android 10? (Auto hiding status bar to prevent burn in)

Oneplus did something funky with the system UI customisations.
I think immersive doesn't work for the same reason you can't truly change the status bar height.
I tested a module I built to disable as many systemUi overlays by oneplus and the statusbar started reacting correctly (not sure about immersive but it let me change the height properly)
Inadvertently it also caused brightness to stay on max and a bunch of other weird things but hey

I tried this and set it to black but it doesn't seem to anti Alias as well as the default cutout option.

Damn it... So you think that immersive mode and android 11 are an impossible thing?

Unlikely not impossible. Just better hope the code doesn't sit in java files because editing smali files are a real pain.
I'm probably gonna do another dump of all files from the latest update at some point and extract all apks etc and do a scan in the contents of all files.
I have a pretty fast 3000mbps ssd so any windows/Linux tools people know for taking advantage while searching let me know

You rock man! Really, the only thing which prevents me from updating my 8 pro to Android 11 is no possible immersive mode. On 10, i can auto hide the status bar and the punch hole gets ignored, too.

You can get it. Just use this module plus use the "Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q/R)" module that's available in the Magisk repo.

LOL. Nothing is impossible. I would have replied to this instead of what I did above if I saw it first.
EDIT: You'll need to use gestures instead of navbar buttons to use that module. Never thought to ask what you are using, but gestures is default on 11

Hey, I appreciate your help! So, as mentioned from you above, if I use both of those modules,nI can have a working immersive mode on 11? With the statusbar being disabled / autohidden? (Statusbar, not navbar). Best regards

It still doesn't rid of the status bar for me though. Navbar goes away like the fullscreen mode
Using a 1px-wide cutout to achieve full landscape in Android 11, neat. Thanks for the inspiration OP!

Thanks! Took many hours of tweaking and searching through decompiled apks lol. Let's hope they either fix this issue system wide in android 12 or this mod continues to work

Probably you need to be using gestures instead of navbar, but that's just a guess. The mod is made to get rid of the little white line/pill at the bottom of the screen which also creates a small thin black bar when gestures is used.

Ah yeah I use it like this with gesyures. But immersive mode historically came with settings.
No navbar.
No statusbar.
Fullscreen (no status and navbar)
I'm assuming that's what's being considered immersive mode that's broken.
Would it be possible to go full screen in portrait apps as well? Can't we push all status bar elements to the right? (punch hole on the top left)

With the custom setting you can push it as far right as you want.
Oneplus 8 series
However there's no ridding of the statusbar or even changing its size at the moment.
G-visual mod alters the status bar height and yes the content of the statusbar shrinks. But can't move the line below the camera that separates the statusbar from the action bar (this is not normal behaviour)
I've spent countless nights modding this to hell but the only way I got anything to work is remove all the system UI overlays using magisk - but then things like brightness control etc stop working
other devices
you could enable immersive (other mods should be compatible with this)
This mod however just inserts an object to the left which obstructs elements underneath to move, pushing all the content to the right would mean modifying a lot of XML files across different devices and compatibility would be hard (device specific)
What we perceive as the "status bar" is actually not just in one place in android, it consists of, status bar, keyboard status bar, heads up status bar and notification status bar.
My original pre release no nonsense mod was built like this, but I found it was version specific to even minor upgrades and was too volatile causing bootloops etc.
Not that it cannot be done.
sorry for the essay just sharing my findings

I appreciate the information you shared. I'm trying to find info on the status bar and possible mods to get rid of the black bar in some games.
I'm actually using an oneplus 8 pro. I tried g-visual mod but it didn't work properly. (There is also a possibility I did something completely wrong).
Adding status bar padding changed nothing. There were elements behind the punch hole.
What custom settings are you referring to?
