Question Where have all the "cool" features gone? - Xiaomi 12 Pro

I used to have some xiaomi devices in the past. The last one was mi9 pro which I replaced to a oneplus and gave the mi9 to my girlfriend.
One nice feature I remember was a special camera stabilization where you could hold the phone how ever you wanted but the taken pictures were always horizontal. If I remember correctly this feature was some day suddenly removed with any update in miui 11.
Now that I got my gf an new xiaomi device, the Xiaomi 12 Pro I have noticed they even removed the sky filter from their gallery app. The one where you are able to change the sky on a picture to whatever you want.
And furthermore using nova launcher (which I have been using since froyo or gingerbread) together with gesture navigation is a hassle.
What is going on with xiaomi... why is the software getting worse and worse???

That camera feature is indeed gone.
I use Nova Launcher Prime for many years now and when you want gesture navigation use FNG app. That will do the job.

But I didn't find any way to permanently remove the navbar. I can hide it using an ADB command but it does not survive a reboot.

What nav bar do you mean, the dock at the bottom?

this may be because of any 3rd party launcher you installed.. or any 3rd party screen lock... try uninstalling them or tweeking their settings to disable the lockscreen , If u cant still find any 3rd party launcher or lock, let us know what all apps hav u installed so that we may help you in a better way.
I have the Nova Launcher installed and only few 3rd party apps. Here the screenshots from my installed apps. I am sure there is no 3rd party lockscreen.

Well, just for fun I looked up your first app (it just looked so untrustworthy) in your screenshot. Bang. "Erhalte aktuelle Angebote auf deinem Lockscreen...“ There you have it.
By the way, just read some comments on play store. There are lots of 1-star ratings.

The abalo app isn't it. It shows only commercial on the lockscreen, but it isn't a lockscreen. I have it on my nexus 4 installed too, but there comes only the standard android lockscreen. Therefore I'm sure it not caused the problem.
Doppelhelix I see u have right. There is the same lockscreen on the screenshots. You can disable the lockscreen in the preferences from abalo. I forgot it .

App keyboard is tiny not edge to edge

I have seen in several apps the Samsung keyboard is shrunk by almost half, not touching the sides of the screen, and it's like a miniature version of the keyboard. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it just an app developer thing that is conflicting with the new screen size?
One app I know is doing it Hearthstone

Turn off one handed mode. I use Gboard for its larger, more customizable keyboard.

That's not the fix.
This is the gaming mode keyboard. You need to go to Game Tools and turn the gaming keyboard off.
I searched settings for all things game, none have the keyboard option. I looked into the game launcher settings, and it wasn't there either.
It was a setting in game tools. It's called floating keyboard, and it was auto set to on. I had to open a game, go to the game tools icon on the nav bar, then go to "additional feature". The option was in there.
BTW: thanks for the help guys.

There must be another way??
I would like to get rid of it too.
But I also dislike the date/weather-widget on top of the homepage. How can I disable this one!?!?

You can use lawnchair launcher.
You can install "lawnchair launcher" from Google Play Store. You must also install lawnfeed apk with this launcher. You can download lawnfeed apk from apkmirror website. Use any icon pack with this launcher you like. I prefer cleanandroid icon pack.

You need to disable Google app from settings. You can rid only the weather display though. Date still is displayed.
I stopped the Google app, and the weather display is gone now.
Ok. But now I still do not want to see the other items: date and Google search bar.
(Why is this designed in Android 9?)
Edit: Mission impossible. A launcher (Nova) solves these problems.

Question Notification Bar / clock disapearing

I have two problems with the notification bar on my Edge 20 with Android 12 Stock ROM, which are extremely annoying!
The bar is hidden on the home screen. It only shows up when I'm in an app. When I wake up the phone, I don't even see if I've got any messages:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Iif I pull down the bar, the clock disappears. Extremely tedious, for example, if you write to someone via the bar on WhatApp and then don't know what time it is and have to close the bar again:
Is there a way to fix this?

I believe that certain 3rd party launchers have the option to hide the statusbar clock if there is a clock widget already placed on the home screen.
I use Nova Launcher, but haven't found any coresponding settings.
