Have had the phone for 5 days now and love it,from the build and feel in hand to the software,came from a HTC which are quality built phones and this matches that and more .The FP scanner is a dream to use and the back is certainly the right place for it .My only complaint is that awful black controls bar at the bottom. Google make it transparent on the home screen and Google now ,yet even in there own apps like Gmail its still there,its present in 90% of my apps,that might be down to the app,but things like dolphin browser on full screen mode have it hidden away to pull up as needed.It looks so much better when not there and isn't taking up valuable screen space .Is there any reason why it can't be transparent in every app etc or at least move down when not in use.

Not an option I'm afraid I have certain aps that I need that will not work any anything other than stock ROMs , attached are dolphin browser pics both in full screen mode just on one I've swiped uo to get controls back
A couple more that show how much better it can be
Yea I agree. The controls make the screen real estate like a 5.5 screen because they are constantly there
I imagine pie controls will be coming.

Essentially gets rid of the navigation options at the bottom and instead you pull them up in the side only when necessary. You access them like the labs controls on the old aosp browser by running a finger on the side to cause then to pop out.
There are a few apps to do this - root not required.
Works on mm on the n5 (WHERE'S MY 6P GOOGLE!), as it's just a launcher should also work on the 6p
I plan on using LMT launcher. With root you should be able to run LMT and remove navigation bar as well
Wow I thought about this too with my 6P. When I was using my G3 prior I used Pie controls and removed the nav bar. Would love to use all of that 5.7" real estate the 6P has.
Stick this line at the bottom of your build.prop file in the system folder and nav bar is gone, "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1". Make sure you have pie already installed, I use pie control.

Thanks I'll give it a try
Thanks seems to work good,just have to remember to swipe up to get keyboard to show when required ,I wonder if there will be a fix for MM,or is it always like that.
Can't understand why Google would not have immersive as standard looks so much better
Lower the DPI in build.prop a bit and the nav bar will be smaller and you'll have more real estate on the screen.

How many of you were aware of Widgetsoid2.x's ability to have notification power widgets (if properly configured) with which you can toggle directly from the notification area (like under CM6.1/CM7) without having to toggle the widgets from a separate popup it launches first (like under Power Control Plus, Extended Controls, others)?
Screenshot taken using Widgetsoid2.x on Ginger-Tazz-Sense b3.
Not really a fan of the coloration of the notification icons. I like the widget controls however.

Me neither, for the notification area I had to color the icons black to be able to see them well (the background doesn't change no matter what in the notification area it seems) and set them to highlighted all the time (unless that was one of the other apps I tried). It definitely would be nice if the icons were more easily customizable - other apps were able to change the color of individual icons, and individual "active" indicators at the bottom.
The one-click notification control was definitely the winning factor for me.
yup, I liked the notification widget when I wasnt using CM7....it comes in handy
Other downfall is WiFi by and god just open the settings. Unless I'm mistaken.

Yeah, that would definitely be a bummer. I would probably use a combination of Widgetsoid2.x and another app in order to provide 1-click for WIFI in that situation.
I'm using Ginger-Tazz-Sense (beta 3 but beta 7 is out now) and this newer Sense interface already has some built-in toggles in the notification/status area, so I don't bother using Widgetsoid2.x for WIFI and some other things.
Check out my screenshot (fixed, ImageShack seems to have a problem with a period in the picture filename I had previously) in my first post ^ to see the second tab at the bottom of the status area, that's where the new Sense's built-in toggles are. Sure you have to make one more click to select that tab but it's still fast.
Yeah I am running beta 5 right now having the minor white screen but if i keep enough ram open i have no issue
this looks pretty neat. thanks

If you have any trouble configuring it the way you think it should work shoot me a message.
In general, it appears you have to keep the option checkmarked at first to open notification widgets as a separate popup which you then click on the widget you want from there. After that first time, THEN you can uncheck the open as popup option and it appears to work just fine from the notification/status area after that.
ye, i have never heard of this before,
but it looks clean and clear in a glance
I find swipepad amazing, but it fails to turn up some of the times upon swiping. I tried placing the zone at bottom (so as to avoid conflict with phone's other swipes) but still occasionally the pad doesn't turn up at all.
Wrote to dev, and was told that the app has to be made to work on large screens (I'm using galaxy note). But no actions upon it by dev. I purchased all associated apps but all waste.
Does anyone know how to make the app work RELIABLY?
It works great for me with galaxy note at the default dpi. Never failed.
However if u change the dpi from 320 to lower values it does not always invoke the app. The reason is that the zone becomes smaller with smaller dpi
Do you use a lower dpi?
I did mail the dev about giving an option to let the user decide the size of the zone but no reply
Also enable the option to have it running in the taskbar. This prevents the system from killing it. ( i have never had to do it as killing by system never happened in my usage. )
I also found that having lower rt and lt coners invoke the app the best.

Ok, you mean left and right. Got it.
I think it fails to invoke at times as Android functions and various apps functions too work with the same swipe actions.
Bottom zones are more reliable for the same reason, there are a few times when there is a meaning to up swipe in Android or apps. (scroll up us not an option at times, as in home screen or in dialer)
Bottom left and right zone means you are making a diagonal swipe, which again is not very common in Android or apps as an action.
I'm just guessing with these explanations here. I'm rather confused by dev's response that there needs to be some work done regarding large screen devices.
i find it real annoying that almost half the time, there's a 1.5-2 second delay when i select an app. It'll say "Start [App]..."

Which device? Doesn't happen with me
The app is bugged and never updated. If you hide pads, they show up at random. Also the app needs customizations to select. The black plain background sucks imo and 1 default sound does too.
I bought all the add-ons for it and kinda regret it. They aren't worth the money and the app fails imo when compared to wave launcher.

Want true fullscreen in any 7.1.1 Nougat rom? Want to be able to get maximum viewing space on your 6p? I have a treat for you!
Although the 6p screen is very large, I'm a huge proponent of maximizing screen real estate.
I found this setup is awesome because it gives you so much more viewing screen for everyday use. For example, in Chrome, now you can see so much more of a web page and it makes your viewing space so much better:
1) All in One Gestures App: enable fullscreen (within the app to get true fullscreen/immersive mode. Expanded desktop rocks. Massively improved viewing space baby!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...gestures&hl=en
2) Download Swipe Navigation App: from playstore. This is AWESOME. Enables swipe gestures to navigate and swipe as opposed to having a physical navbar. This saves huge amounts of screen real estate. At the bottom of the screen, left swipe up is back, middle swipe up is home, and right swipe up becomes recents. (This is so cool).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...vigation&hl=en
3) In a build prop editing app (I recommend BuildProp Editor), paste this line and save:
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1
(this removes the on-screen navigation bar, now you have awesomely improved screen real estate!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...p.editor&hl=en
Can you use the build prop edit to hide nav bar in 7.1.1 last I knew it wasn't possible.

Hmm. Keyboard won't work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Kind of a deal-breaker.
Edit: tried out Swipe Navigation and the build.prop edit. Works perfectly right now. I was a little worried after restarting the phone because the Swipe Navigation app didn't start right away (I couldn't back out of an application, lol). But it started up in less than a minute and everything is good. I'm going to use for a while and maybe buy the $1.50 add-on that unlocks custom actions.

The reason why you need to edit the build prop, is because, if you want to use Swipe Gestures (the easiest and superior method for nav bar-less navigation imo) is because otherwise now you have two extra steps. You swipe up from bottom, and now you wait for the nav bar to 'come up'. You then hit the button you want. Takes time.
With my method, you instantly navigate with a gesture. One lightning fast action. That's why removing the nav bar in build prop is so important.
Also, the app you suggested costs money. Can be done better and at absolutely no cost.

Everyone felates and sucks off purenexus, but Uberstock runs circles around it in my opinion.
Is there any way we can actually disable the notch, I mean literally make it black and move the status bar below the notch , just like on normal smartphones?. Will that be possible with some mod in the future,or does such a thing already exist?
That is a nice solution but they would have to write code to disable the touch completely in that area and a lot of work will be involved in case an app tries to fill that area. Xiaomi doesn't likes to work, and they create more bugs with every fixes. I am not even mentioning how odd that will look, Xiaomi doesn't likes to work but they do care about the design and want their devices to be elegant. I have never never seen such a great looking cheap casing ever in my life, even Samsung can't achieve that.

I still don't see what the big deal is. You can see the icons if you slide down the notification bar. It's a little inconvenient but not at all frustrating or unacceptable.

Probably for the same reason they waste time to badly redesign Android's user interface instead of just using the standard Google layout.
At that point, that's the only reason I'm not buying this phone, until we see AOSP ports.
Would have been a no brainer if it was shipped with Android One instead of MIUI.
Well according to me, this might be the best way to overcome the notification icons problem.

I have exactly the same query. On checking several posts on internet, i have realized that 'Fullscreen' doesn't imply 'Include the notch' for notched phones. Am i wrong?
If there's only a way to include notch in all apps(playing video and games too) rather than excluding it. Seems like inclusion of notch as a part of screen for the complete UI in Poco would give a much better experience.
Is its possible?
its driving me insane - it makes my s9+ feel like a cheap laggy phone - what a terrible useless effect.
Do you mean you pull the status bar? Because I like to have it and using Swift installer to do this

I just want to find a way to bring back the regular transparent background - in the homescreen this isnt so bad - but in the lockscreen it feels super slow

Agreed... also found in Pie when opening notifications it's slow switching apps. Oreo was way faster... (I have disbled animations through dev. Options)

well disabling animation is not acceptable solution for me

I didn't say it was a solution to the blur thing you mentioned. I just said your issue, plus the slow switching animation are things bothering me in Pie and cannot solve it.
Also tried with different themes, but none of them modified those things

I don't think this is possible to remove the blur. It was introduced already in the good lock app quickstar on android 8 and now they added it as default.
when I pull down the notification bar there is no lag though. But I am using the feature "reduce animations" which I really like.. way better than setting animations to 0 in dev options..
Is there any way to make the icons in the quick settings smaller though? They are waaaay to big for me and is killing the experience.

it doesnt lag in the home screen - but the animation is terrible when u do it in the lock screen - partially because it decides for you to open the entire drawer
Update:
Just updated my phone today - the blur effect was removed
Guess Samsung figured out if they cant do it right they just need to remove it lol....

It's for the better, that blur was horrible and out of place
At the beginning i thinked the same, but the content is Blurred to focus on The Notification Pannel i guess, When you touch the status bar The Blur Animation(Transition) was a nice effect, they should leave it as optional and Not Remove it fully

I have the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 side by side, both running Android pie. I wasn't paying attention at first, but I noticed something after I installed a good lock, which worked perfectly on my Galaxy Note 9. Upon uninstalling good lock, it is around this time that I noticed that there is a blur background when I pull on my notification bar. But I cannot remember if it was always like that. Comparing it to the Android pie in note8, this is not the case. The background remains transparent but a little bit dimmed, which is what I prefer.

Smaller or are we able to add more than 6 on the top row? Hell my s7 or s5 I think I could have 8 icons on the top. Makes it way more convenient when accessing things. I noticed with Oreo I can have 6 and there is no where that I can find that I can add more... Is this a feature that Oreo removed?
Thanks,
