I just got this device yesterday with the Global rom. It seems like there are no real customizations for it. For instance, how do I change the navigation bar at the bottom? Is there anyway to have it go away when I'm in an app or web browsing? It cuts off a chunk of viewable screen space on this phone.
Also, is there no tap the screen to wake functionality?
Fng will work. Just give permission with adb and it's good to go.

Well, the American version is very limited, the Chinese version is the most complete, and has all that you mention, gesture navigation and many more functions

Please let me know if you guys know a ways to remove the ads!
No way that we know of. You could return it for another one and NOT let it connect to wifi or put in a sim until after you have relashed it. All phones are shipping with 6.1, so it was your mistake to let it update.

Yeah I know, I didn't done the research before I made the update.
Thanks for letting me know tho!
Things just got more complicated because Amazon has stopped selling the phone! We will have to wait and see what happens next. If it were me, I would contact them right away and find out if a replacement is available still.

So, I'm an app developer and looked into this lately. The latest updates have hardened the lockscreen ads against removal - that includes against doing the above where it only causes a minimized ad on the lockscreen until reboot VS a fullscreen one unless there's a notification available.
(There's at least one way I didn't test such as reverting to the original shipped version of the amazon apps which could maybe work, idk.)
So the above can also be done using an app that displays a non-dismissable notification and starts on boot so that there's no longer any attention needed. Again, this just forces no fullscreen ads.
A newly found Linux flaw, which may work on the device as someone seems to have it working on android, looks like it could be used to gain access needed to completely remove the ads, but I don't really care to look into it and you do so at your own risk.
And of course as there's custom roms available, they won't have ads as well.
Stuff like lockscreen replacement apps - well I tried one and the amazon ad still appeared - the ad developer should have tested against these anyway. There seems to be better developer access to the lockscreen with android N that could in theory work against the ads, but the device OS isn't android N and I feel they wouldn't update it regardless if the ads were easily removed as that would be counterproductive.
If something isn't correct or becomes outdated in this post, just say below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/blu-r1-hd-v6-6-dirtycowed-f-amazon-root-t3490882
Now that we can root and unlocked the V6.6 version, anyway to remove the ads?
Why not just install the non-Amazon version of the rom V12 using Colton's easy method, and then update it to V17 using vampire's method. The non-Amazon roms don't have the ads to begin with, so there's nothing that needs removing.
I came around this app called Fluid Navigation Gestures.
It's awesome, it needs some permissions to hide the navigation bar that you have to provide through adb commands. The instructions are clear and anyone can do all that.
There are unlimited possibilities for the way you navigate through this app, It's highly customisable. There is also a 1$ optional payment that opens up more customizations.

I've used it for a couple of weeks and I must say, it's amazing. I even bought the pro version, and the developer answers quite fast on Twitter. However, I noticed that my A2 is laggy due to framework bug. It's listed under the known issues, and I had to uninstall because of that. Has anyone else faced lag when using it on a mi a2?

Well no lags on my device, and the bug you said is not listed there, maybe it got fixed. Although there is a mention of lag due to accessibility service, but I never experienced it.
Only issue I have is faulty previous app function, at times it tries to open the app I am already in.
Here is the screenshot of known bugs in the app.

Sorry, I meant accessibility. It's been a few weeks already that I tried. Let's see if I'll have this problem again. This app can consistently change the way we use our soft keys phones, and I loved it
Wish Android had the swipe-to-back feature that iOS has had for years, its such a smooth experience.
MIUI has the same gestures OP suggested, but its so unnatural, same goes for these gestures.
Really nice app and "fluid". Been using since day 1 I got a2 lite, as I loved the full screen gesture on MIUI ROM.
Although I recently updated to Pie and this app (and others like this) are causing flickering issues.
EDIT
Turning on "disable HW overlays" in developer options fixes the flickering issue for now.
I would like some help on my battery life it dies very easily if I use certain apps but if I know you certain apps it's pretty good battery life I'm not going to lie but in intensive stuff I wish there was more also are there any apps that I can install to make my experience cooler fun stuff like I miss double tapping on my screen anything that makes you guys using the Google pixel even cooler without being rooted I have a Verizon version so I'm scared to root it thanks again didn't proofread it I'm driving sorry

Hey guys,
my mi9t was dead recently and i'm in the market for a new cheap phone. I resisted realme for a long time due to color os until someone pointed it out that the new realme ui is better than miui, so i am going to give it a try and stumbled upon how cheap the x2 pro is given its spec.
Well since specs arent everything and there are many little things not covered in reviews, i would like to ask if
1. it has AOD and is it customizable
2. Does it have screen off hands off ok google, i use it a lot
3. since it is using in display fingerprint sensor i made the mistake of not backup-ing the resist partiotion in mi9t making it almost useless. Do i have to do the same thing and is it bootloader unlockable? i saw quite a lot of custom rom available and thats kinda good
4. is there any small things i need to know like build quality, lagginess
Thanks
It's a good phone overall. I am using CN version, however I recommend you get the EU version to get full gapps support.
Yes AOD on realme UI is fairly customizable. You can choose what to show and the clock. Display format and style. Beyond that not really.
EU version has the all google apps as far as I know but please double check.
Bootloader is easily unlocked. Rest i am not sure.
Built quality is superb. Battery 0 to 100 percent in 36 minutes. No lagginess with stock. Pretty fast boot due to UFS 3.0 (not all variants have this so pls. be careful when ordering/buying). People say cameras are ok and not great. For me upgrading from LG V20, they definitely are better. Also you might have to disable smart power saver for apps to work correctly i.e send notifications pop ups etc. Maybe that's only for CN version.
I hope this helps.

I select a number or period for notifications, only a period is displayed, and if I select only a number, no notification appears at all on the application icon.

Why would you return a phone for that?
Try another launcher, nova isn't even that good.
What if the dot is a 12 feature? You'd be returning a phone for no reason.
I did see the lack of a number instead of a dot in the notification settings, if it meant that much to me I'd wait for a custom ROM to drop which will almost certainly have this feature..
Actually I just checked my launcher, I use lawn chair and this feature works fine so the limitation appears to be a Nova issue.
It doesn't work well on OxygenOS, not on Nova launcher. All launchers have glitch since A12.
And yes, that's one of the reasons I'll give it back. In fact, I bought it as an alternative to the Galaxy S22Ultra, which I did not want to wait for the tuning of the terrible SW. But when I have to wait, I'd rather wait with S22u in hand

Dude it's a OnePlus device, it was spawned by a guy made popular for making Cyanogen Mod? It is the XDA surrogate son..
You can unlock the bootloader and root without risk. Something a Samsung cannot do and will never be able to do.
You flash anything with Odin and it's warranty goodbye to your Samsung.
Sure people root, It's a OnePlus device, hell I'd question them if they didn't, they stand to gain not lose features.
Btw, I did not have to root to obtain the numbers on my apps.
Just saying.
Plus no one is trying to convince you of anything, they're saying out loud some truths, whether your read it or understand it is besides the point.
Mods. Can this thread be closed? The OP obviously doesn't want a solution and has already started that they intend to return their device, I see no point in leaving it open, it'll lead to conflict without resolution
