With such a huge screen, why didn't Google allow the home screen to display in landscape orientation? While I have never wanted this functionality before, it seems like it would be great here. I'm assuming there's no way to do this without root?
You can... download a third-party launcher such as Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher. You can find them on the play store and then make the launcher to be landscape mode or portrait based on the orientation of the phone.
If you want this feature with google now launcher then there is no way to achieve this, not until Xposed is made to work using ART
They had to follow Apple this time. The iPhone 6 plus has this feature due to larger screen.

You can try forcing the homescreen rotation with Ultimate Rotation Control:

yep huge annoyance, especially since 1) iphone (!!!) now allows this and 2) google themselves allow it on android tablets
The launchers rotate, but the navigation and notification bars don't. Or at lease I have not been able to figure out how to make them do so. I know a custom ROM will fix this at some point, but part of the reason I bought this phone was to use as a micro tablet.

Son of a gun....this works! I just installed it and haven't used it yet to see if it keeps on working consistently, but so far, so good. Thanks!
I got the 8.0.0 update (Jan 1 security patch)
With this update there are some small UI changes are driving me nuts. Some notable ones:
-I have to swipe up/down to answer/reject a phone call (previously was right/left)
-Grid for the pull down configuration menu is now 2x3, used to be 3x3
-Ring/Media volume bars switched places
-The number pad on the dialer covers the whole screen, hiding the mute and speaker buttons
Does anyone know- is there a motorolla skin on this I can uninstall that will revert this changes? I haven't found anything. it's so annoying.
You are correct, UI under nougat was better
It didn't "mess up" anything...it's all UI changes. If it's absolutely unusable, there are many guides here to flash the older firmware onto this device. Or there is always alternative apps for the dialer that I'm sure you can use in place of the stock one.

I've seen some oreo pics that reflect a UI that is different from what I see on my x4. for example, the drop down configuration menu is still 3x3 https://cdn57.androidauthority.net/...ttings-android-8.0-oreo-review-5-1340x754.jpg
So I'm thinking motorolla has something installed which is causing these oddities. And if there is, I'm trying to figure out how to remove it. Or maybe there is a config somewhere I just haven't found yet.
Here's mine, looks about the right *shrug*

does it still have font size and display size customization?
Why did it messed up? I've only found a bit disorientating the new settings menu. Other than that everything looks fine to me. Also the toggles grid is still 3x3 on mine but I thing is due to the fact that I have the UI and text scaling on the lowest setting. Try making the UI as small as possible and make the text bigger just a notch. I think you'll get back the 3x3 quick toggles grid. I'm on the Moto edition, not the Project Fi or Amazon edition.
Turn Your Galaxy S9 into a Google Pixel
Unless you own an Exynos model, there won't be much development on the custom ROM front for the Galaxy S9. But that doesn't mean you have to put up with all of the UI quirks from Samsung Experience (née TouchWiz). With a little work, you can give your S9 a stock Android makeover, even without root.
To be clear, you can't remove TouchWiz. It's baked in to the Galaxy S9's framework, so it's not as simple as installing a custom launcher like Nova or Action. But if you apply several mods in that same vein, you can actually get the Galaxy S9 to look and behave quite similarly to the Pixel 2. From the home screen to the Google Dialer and the Pixel's wallpapers, the following tips will all but turn your S9 into a Pixel.
Tip 1: Install the Pixel 2 Launcher
Installing the Pixel 2 launcher is the biggest step you can take in turning your S9 to a Pixel 2, as it replaces the TouchWiz home screen app with Google's. The launcher isn't available on the Play Store though, so you'll need to sideload the app. To do so, tap on the link below to download the Pixel Launcher APK, then open the file and press "Install" when prompted.
Download Launcher
Note: If you download the APK through Samsung Internet, you shouldn't have any issues. But if you use a different browser like Chrome, you may be prompted to grant the browser permission to install apps. If so, just tap "Settings" on the prompt, then enable the switch at the top of the next screen.
Press your home button after installing the launcher. A prompt should now appear on the bottom of the screen asking which launcher you'd like to use. Tap on "Pixel Launcher" and your home screen will now be almost identical to the one found on the Pixel 2.
Alternatively, you can set Pixel Launcher as your default by going to the Apps menu within Settings if no prompts appear. From there, select "Pixel Launcher," then tap on "Home screen" and choose "Pixel Launcher."
It's worth noting that the newest Pixel 2 Launcher has the added bonus of featuring a functional At a Glance widget, along with Google Now integration, adding tremendously to the Pixel experience while on your Galaxy S9. For more information on this ported version of the Pixel Launcher, check out the link below.
Tip 2: Get the Google Dialer
The Pixel's stock phone app isn't available on the Play Store and will also need to be sideloaded. You can get the newest patched version of the stock Pixel phone app by tapping on the following link, then launching the APK and pressing "Install."
Download Dialer
Once you've installed it, you'll now want to set Pixel's phone app as your default dialer, so head the Apps menu in Settings. Next, tap the three-dot menu icon and select "Default apps," then choose "Calling app." Finally, select "Phone" from the list, which uses a circular blue icon.
Now open the Google Phone app. You'll need to grant it a few permissions to allow the app to access your phone, contacts, and camera, so tap "Allow" when prompted. After granting it access, you'll now be able to make and receive calls through the Google Phone app. To learn more about your new dialer's features, check out our full guide below.
Tip 3: Get the Google Dialer
The Pixel 2 has another Google app called Android Messages to handle texting. While unimpressive at first glance, it features a clean Material Design interface and supports the new RCS Universal Profile for iMessage-like texting on T-Mobile and Sprint. Best of all, this app can be installed directly from the Google Play Store.
Download Android Messages - Play Store
To set the app as your default messenger, simply open Android Messages once you've installed it, then follow the setup prompts. Tap on "Yes" on the confirmation prompt that appears, then you're good to go.
You can also perform the same steps that were done with the calling app to make Android Messages your default app for texting. So if you want to go this route, follow the steps you took in Tip 2 to make the phone app a default. This time select "Messaging app" and choose Android Messages as your primary means of handling SMS messages.
Tip 4 Set Gboard as Your Default Keyboard
The Pixel's primary keyboard, Gboard, is one of the best keyboard apps available right now. This awesome app lets you perform Google searches, share GIFs, and much more — all from within your keyboard. If you're not already using Gboard, now is the perfect time to make the switch, so head over the Play Store or tap on the link below to install the app.
Download GBoard - Play Store
Now, open Gboard and follow the prompts. Tap on "Select Input Method" and choose the one labeled "Gboard" to make it your default keyboard. Finish up by giving it permission to access your contacts by tapping "Allow" on the prompt, then exit the app. After you're done, Gboard will now pop up automatically whenever you need to type something.
If you've grown accustomed to the built-in number row that comes with the Samsung keyboard, fret not, you can add it to Gboard in the app's settings. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, as Gboard has tons of cool features that's sure to impress once you've given it a try. Feel free to head to the link below if you'd like to learn more about Gboard.
Tip 5 Browse the Web with Chrome

While your Galaxy S9 may not be able to run true stock Android, this method gets you as close as currently possible to the experience you would have with the Pixel's minimalist OS. How are you liking the Pixel experience on your S9 so far?

Unable to use dialer with two sims
Hi i am using the exynos version of the galaxy s9 plus. I am unable to use the google dialer for my second sim. The dialer doesnt show two call buttons for two differnt sims. Please help
Thanks for this thread. I am loving the google experience on my s9plus. Althiugh i am using the nova launcher instead of the pixel launcher.
To each his own, but Nova is for me (and many, many others) a far better launcher than Google's, and Swiftkey has the best prediction engine by far. And all the Samsung apps can be easily themed dark, unlike Google's versions which insist on being blindingly white.

For me, the lack of wireless charging is what made me pick the Samsung over the pixel. I love just having the charging puck to set the phone on.

Then, why you need to slow the phone with stupid launchers?
The omission of wireless charging was hugely disappointing when Google announced the Pixel 2 (and when they announced the first Pixel, for that matter). Many of us have been wirelessly charging for 5+ years. Even mediocre cars are coming with wireless charging pads in them. Google surely would have sold many more Pixel phones had they included Qi, as there are plenty of Samsung owners like me who don't really WANT a Samsung, we just want the best hardware and keep ending up with a Samsung device.
I have no clue what ion1s is going on about. He asks why you would slow down the phone with stupid launchers... pretty sure the answer is obvious (Nova is 100x better than TouchWiz, for one). I honestly feel sorry for people that use a Galaxy with the default launcher and default 4x4 grid homescreen layout. Like, wow your 6.2" screen has a whole 8 icons you can put on your homescreen since the clock takes up 4x2. And the dock + dots take up the entire bottom 1/3rd of the screen. Pathetic. These 2:1 ratio screens are perfect for a 7x5 desktop grid with 7 dock icons. That's 42 usable areas of the homescreen (with half increments too) compared to the anemic 16 with TouchWiz (no half increments, and can you choose 4x5 or higher in TouchWiz now? I honestly haven't used TouchWiz on any of my dozen Samsung devices ever, especially since my first Samsung was the Galaxy Nexus). Default TouchWiz homescreen is like those universal remote controls or calculators with HUGE buttons - great for old people that have terrible vision, useless for everyone else...yet people keep their default launcher, default icons, default wallpaper, default ringtone, etc. I see it all the time, even people my age in their 30's that are seemingly good with technology....their phone will ring and it's the default Verizon ring-tone and default everything on their phone...these people should just get an iPhone since they don't even know options or settings exist on their device.

It is a fair question. If I were looking at S9 Plus vs Pixel 2 XL, I may have gotten the XL. However I determined I didn't want a phone any bigger than the Nexus 5X I had at the time. Others have stated other reasons that also matter to me (wireless charging, camera). S9 also has a bigger battery and an SD card slot. But my biggest reason was the S9 has a 5.8" screen versus the 5.0" of the Pixel 2, while being marginally larger than the pixel but still smaller than the Nexus 5X.
I can live with having to strip out the Samsung bloat and waiting a little longer for android updates.

LOL, I actually looked at TouchWiz for all of 10 seconds when I received the phone just to see if anything had changed. Amazingly, on what I noticed in that short time, Samsung has managed to keep the same crappy launcher seemingly unchanged since I first used it years ago. Like you, I'm amazed that anyone actually uses it considering it's lack of any features.
Whoops wrong thread
Hi, just to contribute about the discussion "why didn't you but a Pixel in the first place?".... I'm a big fan of pure stock Android and Google experience, but I just got an S9 because it's very popular over here, so I was able to find it at a very very good price from my carrier.
At some point I'll just flash a custom rom such as LOS, but for the time being I'd like to keep my warranty and just installing key apps.

Well, I didn't see a thread here related to Beta-1 being available and unless everyone on XDA also reads the OnePlus community forums, it's probable there are people out there who don't know Beta-1 has been released. I also figured this could be a place to discuss bug findings and fixes/workarounds in a forum where, in my opinion, the technical skills of the average poster is higher and that we would see better problem reporting and solutions rather than posts on how to revert back or about when will Q stable be released.
Now, regarding your post, what was your point in posting your comment?

I was just curious. It makes more sense when you put it that way. I just figured @funkwizard is gonna make a post about it soon since he's usually the one that makes official posts about things related to OnePlus. There are already a few other bug posts about the beta so I just don't see a point in having multiple posts about the same thing cause then it just confusing and certain people like to ask the same thing on multiple threads instead of searching and then people have to answer the same questions people ask when they post the same thing all the time.

I get that when I try Nova or Lawnchair launchers, it will always revert back to the 3 buttons. I also got stuck while playing Fallout yesterday. I had the gestures turned on and could not get out of the game. Swipe up (home) or swipe up and hold (recent) wouldn't work. I was able to finally go back to the launcher by going nuts tapping randomly on the screen but that was as interesting bug... stuck in a game.
RSA still hasn't bothered updating their token app for Android Q, it still thinks my phone has no network connectivity (cell or WIFI)

You can switch back to gestures after setting a new launcher but I'm not sure how stable that it, the OS might want to revert back a few minutes later.

I believe this has something to do with how the phone handles other launchers. When you are in another app for some time and then go back to home screen, the launcher gets opened which resets the buttons.
Already reported to OnePlus. I think others have also reported this to OnePlus.
If you want to consistently reproduce this issue, Just change the default launcher to OnePlus launcher and back to Nova, you will see the navbars reset
Battery life seems much better than DP5 for me. It has only been 24 hours of course so it's not long enough but I lost 6% battery for 3 hours at work while on DP5 it was closer to 20% for 3 hours of light use.

Interestingly the gestures now rotate with the phone meaning to exit you must swipe on the horizontal edge.
Does anybody know why we don't get the dark mode? Pixel has it but why don't we? I don't mean the bad "forced" dark mode in developer options.

Use force dark ui in dev settings. Although I don't recommend because apps like Facebook and suck don't have dark mode and text will be unreadable

While I had override force dark on my ambient display became completely gray? I'm guessing it's just a system wide color inverter
Unfortunately the navbar will keep switching back on reboot/launcher change until OP fixes it. "Officially" the gesture navigation should only work with the stock launcher (since elements of the navigation are in the launcher itself), thus changing launchers will kill it (even though it is clear that the navigation works just fine without using the stock launcher). The reset is most likely caused by leftover code that checks if the launcher can provide the navigation gestures + recents, and if it can't, it disables the gestures (then proceeds to load recents + nav gestures from the fallback launcher, which is the stock one, but the reset still happens).
As for when the home gesture doesn't work. Try opening and closing the notification drawer, that usually fixes the nav gesture issues for me.

Coming from iPhone 12s where are IG, Tweets, FB and messages would appear in a large 1/2 lock screen then disappear after 10 sec.
On the Pixel we have show content on lockscreen but just get a icon showing messages pending but don't show the message?
Any ideas what we are doing wrong?
AOD just showed icons. Screen on lockscreen can show the entire notification as long as you did not enable to hide sensitive information on lockscreen.
Thank you I am wondering if its something in Android 11?
Have the setting toggled to show all content vs hiding and still not working.

I can't personally see why you'd want to see a notification taking up half the screen, but a quick look in the play store seems to show a bunch of options for customizing the lock screen to match the ios display. I have no experience with any of them, so your mileage may vary. Good luck!
