Hi, everyone. There was already a thread like this, but it's locked, and all the links have been removed, so I have to open a new one. I live in China, currently. I'm on the stock rom, unrooted, chinese one, and even though I've done a basic research, I can't succeed to enable this option on my phone. it's miui8.5, nougat 7.1.1, there are no Developer options in my Additional settings (or anywhere, cross my heart), and, as far as the Button Mapper app is concerned, I have no use of that, as I can't add Paypal to my Google play account, because it's registered in China (paypal), I use vpn (in order to be able to approach google at all), so the country of my order differs from the country my Paypal registration (because of vpn servers), and there's always an error, saying that. Of course, if I turn off my vpn, I won't be able to approach to playstore at all. And I need Button Mapper Pro in order to enable this, so that means - inapp purchase, which I can't do. So, my question is - is there another way (other than google play store) to buy Button Mapper Pro with Paypal, or, is there a way to set this without button mapper app (I don't want to root the phone, installed everythng I need on it, works fine in English with google play services)? Thank you
nevermind, I found the solution. thanks anyways, cheers

Split screen comes with MIUI 9, but thanks for sharing the solution with us...
Well, considering that no one ever replied, I thought it was some basic problem and everyone knows how to solve it, which is why no one wanted to bother to reply. That was my conclusion. If still interested, here's how - go to settings, option About phone, find MIUI section, and tap few times on MIUI version, that's how you unlock Developer options in Additional settings. Than, go to Additional Settings, Developer Options, scroll to the option Force activities to be resizable, and switch it ON. After that, go to Google Play Store, download the app Button Mapper, you don't have to pay for Pro, just download the basic one. Install it, and give necessary accessibility to the app (you will be prompted for that). Than go to the app menu, click on Home button, enable Customize option, then scroll down to Long press option, press it, and on it's option choose Split screen. And that's it, The middle button of your phone (3 buttons on the bottom of the screen) will now make the app you're using customizable size, you just enter the app first, than long press that button, go up with your finger without lifting it away from the screen, and that's how you choose the size of the first app on your screen. The second one you open will take the rest of the screen's space

sorry, I tried posting a screenshot of my phone's home screen, to show how that looks like practically, but it doesn't allow me too
Does the splitscreen works the same as in MIUI 9 ? l like the stock factory version which was the v8.5.5.0 but sadly there's no splitscreen support. Updated to the latest v9.2.1.0 but I'm disappointed with the battery life...if the splitscreen works the same as in the MIUI 9, I'm gonna downgrade back to v8.5.5.0 and apply the steps you mentioned above.

You are probably aware that Google Play Books, Movies and Magazine apps are hidden on the Nexus 7 when you are outside of the few permitted countries like US.
Since I am in Singapore, it is extremely annoying for the app to keep disappearing off my screens and folders each time I get out of my US ip. Hence I am using the following Titanium Backup widget to make the process simpler:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 1. Go to widgets and look for Titanium Backup [Actions], not the other one. I am using the paid version of Titanium but I don't think it makes a difference.
Step 2. Drop it somewhere on your desktop and you should see the next screen.
Step 3. Tap on Action and choose Defrost and Launch an app.
Step 4. Tap on Select the app and choose Google Play Books or any other app you want, like the Movies/TV or Magazines app.
Step 5. Password is optional, I skip it. Tap "Create the widget" and you're done.
Now whenever you want to read your books, just tap on the widget on your screen. It doesn't matter what ip you are in, what country you are in.
I find that this is the fastest and simplest way for me to access my books. Hope it is useful to you.
Great!

I have the paid version, when I choose the Action widge and chose Defrost option, it doesn't ask me to choose an app, it just creates the widget
How about a DNS hack ? would that work ?

Did you choose "Defrost all user & system apps"? That's not the one, try scrolling up, it should be an action called Defrost and Launch

No idea about that. You can try it out.
I like my method because it doesn't interfere with any other apps or settings or internet connections and is real quick and simple.
What's your widget that you use on your homescreen?
BTW how did you use your $25 credit? I have problems with that :\

Widget is OMC, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunnykwong.freeomc
the $25 credit? I'm not sure if it is still available for redemption, I heard it might have expired at the end of last month.
Anyway I had to log into Google Play with a US ip address, add in a credit card using a US address, but international cards work fine.
Yet the newest version 5 has many bugs on our Droid. The suggestion bar will not show in a browser. The resizer disappears after using. The newest version erases the backup when you reset to defaults while not so with version 2.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aitype.android
Update v2204 is attached.
I just tried all day & 100% indeed. Nearly anyway, I can't get the personal shortcuts to work. The current Play emoji plugin works.
The resizer works even in a browser.
Makes me question what happened with development after v2. Lollipop is a good guess.
Installing F-Droid & keep the app chooser "open" letting you choose F-droid or Play. Then just touch the screen to kill the app of the day.
Be mindful of the cut button in the middle of the 3 mode bar. It will clear a long comment with an inadvertent touch. There is an undo in the utilities button.
Bugs
Also "expand the textbox" kills the suggestion bar.
Sometimes the suggestion bar hides & you must close the KB with the back Navigation key & reopen by touching the input field.
The ”make it my own"/urban experience (lol WTF is that) is neat to get the popup & key pressed color to linger- I always thought to popup went way too fast & still does with this mod but lingering key color is better than the popup. Trouble is with all these screen mods it is easy to out-type our processor. Edit disabled the popup completely-just the key fade is better.
I have attached this popup-less settings backup with some other mods.
I included my backup settings to put in Android/data.

In Play store there are poor reviews for the new version (good reviews for this version) on our phone! On most phones the reviews are poor for the newer versions.
This top row has a 3 mode button for numbers, special characters or editing-a delete key & much more. As mentioned above the cut key can be a disaster at times but I have saved my posts with undo key from the 3way button.
Click on ai.type.zip.txt & copy Mega link to download.
Install but do not launch/open.
Don't bother with setup helper by launching the app after install. Next go settings/ language & input, enable the app, put the backup in sd-android/data, Go to settings, language & input, settings, prediction, restore data.
You need to disable (settings/app/) the stock keyboard & reboot too.
Download F-droid from Play, to stop the app of the day nag.
Do not select a default. Do nothing, just tap the KB to clear.
This is still my fav KB, the copy, paste & other editing buttons being right on the top row is nice when the auto appearing ones won't show themselves.
Title says it all!

Took almost a month to provide but now its here!
You need the beta google play services and the google app (ALSO In beta)
Do this by going to settings>google>three dot menu at top right>help and feedback>three dot menu at top right>open in google play store>go all the way at the bottom and it should say something about testing and please press yes im in or accept or something like that>wait>update gplay services
Do the same for the google app. Instead of going through settings. Go to play store, search for google, go all the way down and press accept or yes im in and wait, and update.
Now, the hard part. It might take up to 30 days for this to complete.
But first, go to your menu on google app, and tap settings, if you see google assistant, press settings, follow steps to say Hey Google.
EXCEPTIONS
This is only done using the google app, and can only be invoked by saying Ok Google or Hey Google.
Cannot be done on any other device that is not J327T, J327T1, or J327P.
That's all folks! Please thank me if this post is useful. Post the results and let the games begin!
Thanks

And also, if you see the y shaped circle of circle icon in your notification bar, then that's the signal that it is on your device.
ONLY TESTED ON J3 PRIME TMOBILE VARIENT (J327T)

I got google assistant by just updating the google app recently.
Thats what I did pcwiz101.
I have a screenshot that is pending upload.
Hey there,
is there a way, to remove the behavior that a long press on the power-button first starts the google assistant instead of getting directly to the "power menu"? I've tried to disable it in the settings which gives me then the option to activate the assistant and unless we gain root, i assume all the bloatware can't be uninstalled
Would another Launcher (https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/app-xperia-home-10-0-0-40-t3369220) fix it?
Edit:
In the System Settings under "Intelligent Support" (or something like that) there you have "Shortcuts and gestures" there you can disable this behaviour.
Best regards

You're welcome! Unfortunately you have to press the Power Button really long until the Power-Menu is seen... but this is a first world problem But atleast the Google Assistant isn't nagging around...
Anyone know of a way to remap this functionality? Eg, get holding power button to open the camera instead? I know there's the double-tap volume down shortcut, but that only works when the screen is locked and if no media is playing.
Yes, You can customize Volume button on long press behavior for example with button mapper app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton . I'm using this app to remap Netflix button on my Android powered TV's remote control and here on P30 Pro to launch camera app.

On the subject of Google Assistant, can anyone confirm this bug on their device?
Place phone in airplane mode, 'accidentally' activate Google Assistant, screen will stay on forever. I noticed this as I often leave my phone face down and plugged in on the side (it's my second device) and I came down one morning to find the screen lit. I'd obviously activated assistant by catching the power button. Luckily I don't seem to have any screen burn.
No Launchers do not change power button settings
I have finally got the last MIUI 12.5 update alongside Android 11. Everything was fine except the fact that I cannot remove the bubble notifications.
I have followed all the workaround online but it seems that MIUI rom is slight difference and I cannot find this option:

someone has fixed this?
Download activity launcher, search (with the search button) for notifications, then under the settings app entry, tap on notifications, it will open the settings page.
Xiaomi apparently forgot to enable the page in the settings. There are a couple more hidden settings as well, such as interpolated frames on videos and something with more vivid/hdr like recording of videos.

this is interesting: where can I check these video settings?
anyway I have managed to sort with the bubbles stuff: there is written "manage" under the bubble, so tiny that was impossible to spot. Anyway Xiaomi have to implement the settings because if some are hide then are useless

Just go through the settings app section, I don't remember which setting you need to open, plus I think it only works on the xiaomi video/gallery apps.

hold on, you are telling me to go to settings app section, but earlier you were mentioning to download activity launcher. Is this a third party app? I wouldn't install additional apps but, in case I have to, which app is? I cannot find on Play Store.
Whenever any notification comes, there is More option and.notifications from that app can be directly managed for future

I'm talking about activity launcher, go to the settings app section inside the activity launcher app and open all subsections one by one till you find it.
Here's the app.
ehi, anyway I think I sorted: there is a "manage" option under the bubble which is basically invisible but is there. once you click on that command you can remove bubbles and check other settings.
