In the settings there are suggestions that cannot be removed. This is not a fault of Xiaomi, Google delivers the stock without any option to remove it. Companies like Nokia and Motorola implemented an X at the top of each block to be removed, but it depends on the company.
Below the solution for motorola, note the X at the top.
Are you sure about this?
In this link the original poster is affected by this in what seems to be a pixel phone.

The notification bar with the battery display is not a Pixel phone.
You are right, it's probably an umidigi. I guess in both cases you get what you pay for.
No
Nope, you're wrong, the x button on top of settings suggestion is an AOSP feature implemented in Settings Suggestion app and due to a bug is not being shown. Also device personalization app which is responsible for app suggestions in quick switch can't operate because it's not a system app.
The correction must have come in stock then.
Ya, it's not a bug. Please don't fix it.
Bug or not bug, a Mi A3 user came up with a solution that works with Mi A2 too, does not require root and does not disable the searchbar.
Also Mi A3 has an option to hide suggested Apps in the app drawer.

Suggested apps is such a joke in android 10. There are times that only 2 or 3 apps are "suggested" and it then looks horrible. Also "suggestions" is just the last used apps, not much of a suggestion.

If xiaomi hasn't fixed this issue for the Mi A2 yet, try using this command in adb and see if it works:
Code:
adb shell settings put global setting_apps_suggestions_enabled 0
I was messing around with Setedit app on my Mi A3 and seems to be related with the app suggestions in launcher (on my device at least).

Please see this thread by a recognized developer i met over on the LG V20 side of things,
Went ahead and tested it against the note 8 without root, you do have to send 3 strings ( Now just 1 set! )of commands via ADB to get it working but this is a one time thing.
This is practically the UITuner android builds into their software and the OEMs seem to kill it for whatever reason. Go to to his thread to check it out and show him some love and thanks. The app is available for free in the google play-store as well.
Practically can be done by a toddler as long as you follow the steps the app asks you to do! Very Simple and super useful!

Have you found anything this cannot do yet? Meaning, from the screenshots on the Play Store, it says some status bar icons cannot be disabled by Samsung phones, have you found that to be true on the Note8 yet? I have the phone but I haven't installed this yet, was looking for a solid solution to removing the useless NFC icon that Samsung always displays, as well as a way to change the awful Bluetooth icon to the AOSP (or as similar as possible) version.
Thanks!
I'm with you man... I hate having the alarm icon on all the time. I know, I know... I ALWAYS have an alarm set!
My note8 doesn't show NFC icon or alarm icon. I use timely so maybe that's why it does show up when I have pending alarms coming up or snoozed iirc. Sprint n8 if that matters

I hate it too. I understand when you get that msg with headphones but why I get it with my damn car BT! There was an article at xda that you can turn it off with AutoTools and some ADB commands, but that is not working with Samsung devices at least for me with S7E atm. I manage to fix it with Tasker and AutoInput.

Mine cannot hide carrier id, both standard and auto-detect mode it's N950N.
Thanks Zachari! This app got me to get rid of the annoying heads up. But I think something went wrong with the display settings. The screen does not go off by itself. I mean the time out does not work.
Can anyone help?
By the way m using Galaxy S8 Plus.
This is a great app for the note8. Nfc, alarm icons gone. The screen rotation icon will show up so had to turn that off too. Bummer that the volume warning does not work. Can also adjust the number of quicksetting columns. Donated to the developer.

I must be retarted, but I can't get the ADB to work with Windows 10 Powershell. Anyone care to help?
I uninstalled the App and now my Notification pulldown icons are all black. Even after applying the default theme for the Note8 the icons are all white and still can't see them. How do you get the icons colors to show back up properly? I booted into stock recovery and did a cache partition wipe hoping how would fix it and no dice. Any help is appreciated.
Used it with the S8+ and the Note 8 to get rid of the battery icon. On the T-Mobile G1 ADB was the only way to get anything done, even a screenshot.
It's a great app I use it for my toggles and hiding my battery symbol and the immersive mode, can't wait for the volume warning to work on the Note 8 though

I was able to get the status bar icons to show back up by installing the app again and using adb on my desktop, but the question remains how do you completely uninstall this app and go back to stock settings? Is the only way to do a factory reset?

I dont know what I did wrong but I cannot disable those annoying suggestions in settings.
I have another 2 devices with Android 10 as well, they either have a three dots option to dismiss them or have a cross button for fast dismiss.

And more important thing is, the suggestions have minor delays after open the setting app. You will easily click the wrong options after they pop up.

It's a bug of the device. I suppose it'll be fixed in the next update. Now it's nearly impossible to disable them

It's ROM dependent.
Either someone implemented a possibility to disable them, or noone did and you can't.
And there are many great ROMs out there for our device. For me there's no reason to stick to one and complain about it.

Ikr, but it's Android one device, the official rom should not be compared with 3rd party builds.

it's easy. go to apps in settings, show all apps, show system (dots menu top right), search for settings suggestions, goto storage for it and clear all data.
will come back after a while but just repeat the process.
If you are root, you can disable / freeze.
Well, after few tests, I can safe to say
Freeze 'setting suggestion' app is the right option you can use without a computer, however it requires root.
If you don't have root, use adb pm uninstall --user 0 to debloat it.
Clean storage and cache of that app cannot solve it permanently. It almost pop up again right after you back to the main page.
Still, it leaves a large blank space there. But ui looks stable now

I have recently installed miui.eu on my phone and for some reason i opened my privacy manager and saw this, i was astonished by this,
My device was automatically screen recording and i see no recordings in the recording app.
The timings of app opening are exact same as opening my banking and social media apps (maybe!!, Most of them are so a innocent guess).
I guess i need to go towards some stock android roms. If i am wrong don't bash in comments please explain i will understand. Thank you
EDIT:
1. Yes i disabled the screen recorder many times after this but still saw same results then i took the screenshot
2. No, I had no tiles in my control centre as screen recorder, I had removed all the unnecessary quick tiles.
3. I switched to evox for now and maybe wait for a global stable miui 12.
EDIT 2:
1. The service/app was started only when i used the phone and never when it was on sleep. (Maybe deepsleep/automatic app killing)
2. I disabled the app and it was still in use. (makes absolutely no sense)
3. I respect all the hardwork from the developers, staying up day and night for making these possible (miui 12 eu), I maybe wrong but will wait until some clarification.
4. Sorry devs and Thank you for your hardwork.
And all other apps that needed the autostart permission was denied by privacy manager but this app is allowed every single time.
You're scaring me[emoji102]

Okayyyyy I just had a look too, same as you eu.miui and the list is even longer. This is kind of...strange.
Just to add force stopping doesn't work even with autostart off. It seems to show 'started by system ui' every time I open discord or telegram which is very worrying. I think in the meantime until we get some answers to this I'll go a stock android custom rom too.

Go settings, apps then screen recorder or hold down the icon and tap app info.
You're looking for app behaviour it should be the 4th option down.
Also happening in MortalOS, maybe a miui12 thing
It does open randomly, doesn't open specifically for banking apps for me. I think it's got to do with its quicksetting or something but I don't think it's recording anything
It launches because you've Screen recorder tile on QS tiles, that's why it's on App behaviour. It's not a bug and issue, System UI have to check tile state and must interact with app directly for that. It's not an issue at all.
You can remove Screen recorder tile and should be fine.

What about the other apps that autostart by themself where I already set them to not autostart.
In my case I'm just opened the telegram but some of my apps autostart by themself even I already set them off. Even the mail apps that I never open
Is that normal?
The screen recorder already disabled by now
Thanks in advance

Disable what you don't use, also I think system apps are able to bypass permissions. The rest of the apps that you showed appear to have had their permission denied though
I got the same story on mix2s. I have rolled back to miui10

Smae issue with masik, it even shows 3mb data used. Can anyone dig into these roms and see if spyware is installed
The issue might be related to Gausian blur / which is triggering gausian blur .. when you are accessing the control centre
to check : do one thing.. change your notification style to old one and see ..
i once tried IOS control centre, to show blur it used to ask some strange permission, and cast symbol used to activate when ever that blur comes active ..
so i think.. : bringing down control center, might trigger gausian blur, which is related to screen recorder ( somehow) .

Permission denied after I saw strange behaviors.. What will happen if they were autostarted and has the permission. It's a disaster.
I hope it's just a bug
See this Dropbox behavior
Launch by a file.. And I don't even touch the Dropbox apps before
How it could be?

You probably opened a file, either way I think it's just paranoia and normal behaviour that would happen on any android version, only difference is that it is logged
Edit: I'm exploring this feature a little bit more, apparently it logs when apps try to autostart and notifies even if they are denied. Looking at your screen you denied autostart permissions for Dropbox for example. Your concern if I understood correctly is that "files" app launched Dropbox, that is because the privacy feature also logs what process launches the app, so for example if you interact with a newly downloaded file and Dropbox is somehow required to view it or sync or whatever the files app is gonna request the Dropbox app to launch. This also explains why disabling autostart for screen recorder doesn't work, that is because it won't start on its own but other apps (system UI) still can, if you are super concerned about privacy regarding the screen recorder you can use ice box to freeze it or uninstall via ADB. However it's probably because it's integrated with the system UI service to some extent and it periodically starts it if it goes out of ram, the privacy log feature records everytime it is launched in memory.
hi, I'm trying to enable the "hide app" of ColorOS 11 on my Oppo Find X3 Pro (global).
I can correctly select apps to hide, set up the access code (for example #1234#), but after that the apps are still visible on drawer and homeage. And if I digit the access code on the launcher, nothing happens. I suspect the features is not working because I have google dialer and not the oppo one so maybe the feature to manage the access code is not implemented there.
Do you have any clue on how to fix this? or does the "hide app" works in your phone?
This moment...when you are trying to hide Tinder from your GF ◉‿◉
Just kidding ofc xD
On my phone it works flawlessly - i have an oppo dialer.

Hi. Did your phone come with oppo dialer?
actually it was my fault... I forgot the golden rule of IT
Just rebooting the phone (I didn't reboot after activating the hide app feature, but it was not specified in the instructions) made the hide app feature work.
The only minor glitch is that on google dialer, after I enter the access code #xyz# and the hidden app menu opens, next time I open the dialer it still has the access code visibile and I have to manually delete it.

actually this problem is not solved. After each reboot it works flawlessy, but after some time (maybe 1/2 day; I don't know exactly) it stops working. When I enter the access code on dialer, nothing happens, until next reboot. I suspect the issue is related to ColorOS policy to kill/suspend apps (maybe the one that manage hidden apps is suspended), but didn't found any way to fix this issue. Do you have any clue?

Sorry to hear that.
I suggest removing google dialer temporarily to check whether it is an issue with the firmware or google dialer.
After that let us know.
Btw. Have u installed google dialer during phone initial setup or after?
As a workaround I suggest using external app to hide applications - they worked great for me before. Just use google play store and search for "Hide App"

actually google dialer is the default one from factory, I don't have oppo dialer (and I don't think I can even install it being a system app). From what I understood, the fact that some unit have oppo dialer and others (like mine) google dialer depends on the region. My unit is an european one (italian).
I will try external app, thanks for your suggestion.

I've tried navigation gestures but just cannot get used to them (I will try again some time I promise), so I'm back to my trusty navigation buttons. However, unlike ColorOS 7,i cannot find the option to automatically hide (or press a button to hide) these when in apps, etc. so I now can't have a full screen experience.
Has anyone found how to do this yet?

hide apps milestoneapply :
Long-tap on any empty space on your home screen.
In the bottom right corner, tap the button for home screen settings.
Scroll down on that menu and tap "Hide apps."
In the menu that pops up, select any apps you want to hide, then tap "Apply."
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, our R&D Team has already started working on it to get this issue fixed. Rest, please be assured this issue will get resolved in next software update.
However, until then, you may also try alternative way for accessing the hidden apps by following below steps:
1. Device Settings > Fingerprint > Fingerprint for hidden apps quick-start
2. Select any registered finger (best option to use rarely used finger to unlock the device so that it won't open every time)
We thank you for patience and understanding.

I have a Mi camera and the Xiaomi Home app.
For each movement the camera sends a notification on Xiaomi Home.
Unfortunately the do not disturb of MIUI does not allow you to exclude a specific app, so at night I either do not set do not disturb (and I wake up every half hour due to emails, LinkedIn, etc.) or I set do not disturb and I do not hear the notification in case of movement.
I found an app called Alertify that intercepts the notifications of the app I choose and changes it's sound, even ignoring the do not disturb.
However, Alertify works with notifications from all apps except Xiaomi Home.
I also tried a similar app (NotifiCon) which has the same problem, so I think the problem is Xiaomi Home.
Any hint, advice, alternative solution?
Thanks
Amazfit tools do the same. Don't add the mi home app but Xiaomi service framework instead and It will works
