I just got the Pixel 5 and I'm curious why some games are showing up full screen but most cut off the left side right under the notch? Is there a way to fix this or is it on the developer? It's odd because on my S20 Plus the same games play full screen with no issues so it seems to be a Pixel thing?
Still no solution? Got a Pixel 4a and this is exactly my problem aswell..how bad.

It's not just games. A lot of apps do that in landscape as well, like Google Maps and Telegram. There's a new Magisk module that fixes it though.
Download the module from here.
Flash it with Magisk Manager and reboot.
Go to settings > Developer Options and scroll down to "Display Cutout" and choose the Pixel 5 option.
That's it, no more black bar.

See my reply above. This mod will work for you too, but the Pixel 5 option might not work as well as the OnePlus FHD choice. Try them both to see which works best.

No forum/thread yet. It's new and not released officially. Here's the github for it though: https://github.com/logmd/N3O-No-Nonsense-Notch-Overlay/
Hi. Do you know if this a Pixel, Android 11, or Apps problem?

Wow. It is ugly and annoying. It looks like Google is not even trying to fix it. Since I just bought my Pixel 5, I only have 2 choices to fix the issue. Return the phone and get a different brand or root my new phone to fix the problem.
So much for pure Android experience.

Does anyone have experience running the full Pixel launcher (modded one that must be sideloaded) on a Note device? I've heard it's beautifully smooth and works 100% on any phone, but the Note is an entirely different animal. Do you lose any S-pen features? Would you lose the side bar thing that launches the dual app menu? Anything else you'd miss?
I downloaded the Google now launcher and tried it and didn't lose any functions. But the pixel launcher is much better than Google now.

Running it flawlessly right now! It's incredible. Version 2.1 is the latest.
After installing pie build 108, I noticed that Android finally installed a text selecting zoom lens like iOS. Very useful.
Now a week later, it's gone!!
Anyone have any idea how to get it back?
That was the only thing where I thought iOS was clearly better than Android.
Reflaehed... It's back.

The P20 Pro camera app works just as well. There is a variant for the Google camera app but it's nowhere near as fluid as the pro one.
I have no need for the Google one personally, besides the odd gallery blip, it's perfectly fine..
So right now I have the pixel 3 and want to upgrade to the pixel 5. What issues do I need to know about going into this. My pixel 3 has the terrible constant auto focus when using the camera and the power button is activates when not pressed bringing up the camera and rebooting itself. Does the pixel 5 have issues like this that google doesn't want to acknowledge or patch?

Thanks for the reply. I love my pixel 3 and want to keep the physical layout, I like having the rear mounted finger print scanner. The pixel 6 looks good but sadly I'm wanting the rmfps. Have you had any issues with ROMs or kernels?

I haven't flashed any ROMs on it, but I did use ElementalX up until I went to Android 12 on the first Developers Preview. @flar2 hasn't updated for that yet afaik, but it worked great on 11. Last I checked he made a blind build that did cause issues on 12. It might be updated now. I should check.
You see, I got a pixel 5a that is imported from Japan and in Japan all phones Manufacturers must have shutter sound when taking pictures and you can't disable it.
If I will root my phone I will be able to disable it, right?
No. Only with root - no. It depends on device ID (US or JP). For p5 there is patch for TWRP that spoofs ID, but there is no TWRP for 5a.
May be with some magisk module but i can't find any.
Or you can use modded Gcam.
Thank you.
I will try download modded Gcam. from here

Hi can you share the steps to do this? Also wanting to remove my shutter sound. From your reply, it looks like you need to root it?

No need to root, just download APK of the google camera and use it instead of the one that come with the phone.
That's what I did eventually.
Use modded Gcam like forty-second said
it is impossible to convert 5a sun of the Japanese version into the American version, the difference is in the bands, only use the gcam mod
does the gcam mod has all the features as the built-in camera?
Faced the same issue. Like other people said, removing it from the stock Gcam probably isn't an option. Just use a compatible Gcam mod, I recommend MWP GCam for latest supported version.
As a bonus, you can use Tasker to intercept the double power button gesture to launch the modded GCam instead of stock.

Several Android versions ago I used to use Root Explorer and delete the system sound for camera shutter, which worked at the time. Maybe worth exploring?
I remembered there was a thread in the Pixel 5 community. It provides a way to permanently alter the device model code to disable these Japan-only features. Maybe it works on Pixel 5a?
It may not be simple, but can permanently eliminate similar problems.

FYI.
Turn off shutter sound from pixel bought in japan
Due to pixel was not sold I was buying pixel 5 from japan. I thought if I flash a US ROM the shutter sound (japan shutter sound law) will go away but it seems like it is still going strong even after I used Cambodia sim. It was used outside japan...

Hello all,
I also have a Japan model of the 5a, and a while ago I put together a Magisk module to disable the shutter sound.
Let me know if you run into issues.

Hi @averne_
could you please make the sound camera_click not empty, but with silence and not zero like it is now as it crashes some devices? Thank you! I can't attach the file here, but you can find silent 1sec ogg files online.
I can't make it work - Magisk doesn't allow me to unzip the file no idea why.

Are you talking about an app to just wipe the entire phone? If so, Android all in one tool works for that via adb and fastboot. I had to use it after changing my password on bootup and ****ing up both of the new ones the same way, lost all of my years of Google data
If you mean the feature on the pixel 6 where you can pick and remove assets in photos, then no the 10 pro doesn't have it.
But you do have lightroom on android though.

Open stock OnePlus photos app and tap editor they have one built in
I am talking about the Pixel 6 feature. I have read articles that it was ported to other devices a time ago, other Pixels and rooted devices and wondered if it was available for the OnePlus 10 pro through a mod now.
The object eraser in Lightroom is a paid feature as far as I know.
