Hello
I am using Pixel launcher from Android Oreo(V2.1) and for some reason I don't get any option except changing to landscape mode in launcher settings(Screenshot-2). Moreover, the 3D touch type thing is not scaling properly only in middle row icons(Screenshot-1).
My developer options are only enabled but still I can't figure out what the problem is.
Help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Eeyy there.
On screenshot 1
Both Pixel and Lawnchair had this minor scaling thingy when you set number of columns to 5. Since its default to Pixel launcher, it cant be adjusted.
On screenshot 2
The other options on pixel launcher might have integrated only on Android 8.0. (SDK 26).

Try changing your display size from Display settings to "small"
Or use Lawnchair and change number of column to 4
I-its your choice.

The 1st problem is with the launcher it self.
2nd one can be fixed, in ur main settings enable auto rotate.
Then u can enable landscape mode

any one try to change the dpi through developer options?

Yes I have played about with it you can.
tamerh said:

Yes and its actually crucial that its there, since default Text Size and View Mode settings no matter how you combine them wont give ideal looking combo - either too large or too small + notification area only reacts to Text Size changes and view mode mode has zero effect on this area, so although view mode @SmaLL/font @normal makes everything look good, notification area + notifications look way too big,but when you make font @SmaLL everything gets way too small.
With dpi in play I have reached my current favorite combo -> Text size/view type at Small and dpi @392. Not too big, not too small.
Is the dpi settings kept after reboot the phone?

Also not in my Mate 10 which is absolutely disastrous in my case which I want to use all apps to be compatible with split screen but I can’t as the option inside developer settings, “force all apps to resizable” needs resart to be activated but if I restart the phone , the developer options are not saved. Go figure
This also annoys me. Coming from iPhone 7+ which is only 1080p, the Mate 10 looks low res.
We might need some app to make the dpi change persistent on reboot.
Hmm. Smallest width in developer options only changes the width dp of the phone. Anyone tried using adb to change DPI settings? Will try it in a while. Im using KangVIP rom which had the option to change DPI and sure enough, it scaled the contents of the notification bar. Will try it on stock to see if magic happens. Wish me luck!
The setting stick with a reboot on my phone, you need to leave developer mode switch on otherwise it won't stick, I know you can change the smallest width without them turned on but it doesn't stick.
Still doesn't change the notification drop down still huge any fix this wasn't the case on the mate 9 the system ui tuner changed all aspects so annoying

For me, small view mode, normal text size is the sweet spot.

[GUIDE] How to Change DPI properly on EMUI 8 Mate 10/Pro
Hey everyone,
I am new to this XDA forums so I might not know how to fully customise my thread.
I am having a problem with the Google Chrome browser lately on my device. Whenever I enter full screen mode to watch a video on a website like Youtube, my status bar is still showing. If I uninstall updates and use older version of chrome, then the full screen works fine. I don't know to fix this issue. I am currently using a Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon) running on Nitrogen OS 8.1 build date: 20180215 with unofficial open gapps 8.1 aroma 20180119. The screenshots below show what I mean.
Please Help!!
Thanks

I had recently changed ROM to AOSiP. In the notifications drawer there is an 'expanded desktop' toggle which I pressed to go in full screen. It is a bit annoying to have to do it manually but that is what I am doing.

Are you still doing that as a workaround to this issue? Or have you found a permanent solution? I have the same problem.
Latest Chrome and Chrome Beta, Oreo RR, Status Bar visible in Fullscreen. Not an issue in Firefox or Samsung Browser.
Is this intended behavior?

While this may work with the Pixel 2 XL it certainly doesn't with the Axon 7 - mentioned settings are simply not available.

Axon doesn't have those display options? Does it have the unlockable Developer Options? (Tap Build 7 times or whatever)
If yes, look for the 'Smallest Width' option. Play around with some numbers. On my 1080p device it was the 'Small' setting in Display Size that broke Chrome, but it was the one i always used. Closest Smallest Width setting to that where Chrome Fullscreen still works is 403.

Ever since my last comment I got an update and now I have that setting. The notification goes away on "default" indeed, but I have to agree with it being way too big - which is why I have it on smallest on 2560x1440. I might try the smallest width option but I shouldn't have to do that... to me it seems like something is off with either android, chrome or both.

It's Chrome. I tested Firefox and Samsung Browser and they were fine. You've just got to find a number that works.
Can confirm that changing the Smallest width under Developer settings to 403 worked for me (Redmi Note 3 Pro, Android 9.0, Havoc OS). I'm glad I've finally found a solution here, I've been having this issue for so long now I can't even remember when this started happening (probably around the time OP posted here).
Thought I'd update you guys... the biggest number that worked for me was 420 (from the 423 before which is the standard setting). So not too much of a loss.
Minimum width
Once I have changed that setting to 403 width, full screen returned to normal full mode. Thanks for the help (note 9)
Hi All,
I'm new to this forum. Currently using pixel 3 on nova and don't plan to root. I really like the UI on stock pixel three but three things are driving me nuts.
No notification numbers
Cant use icon packs
Unable to change grid size
That huge bat that comes with new navigation gestures (I do like the idea though)
Question is, are there any lightweight launchers that can do all that? Plus if possible still have new pixel gestures but with a transparent navigation bar? I'm currently using nova, although I like it, I would want something that closely mimics the pixel 3 UI. Anything a out there that does all that. Thanks for the help!

Check this forum for TulsaDiver's P3 launcher mod script. I've not wanted to move away from the stock launcher but couldn't stand the search bar, grid size and icon labels. He put in a ton of work and built an ADB based solution.
Edit: Just saw that you said you don't want to root. This sort of thing is why you root.
What about Lawnchair v2? I've been using it since the day I got my P3, and I think it does all the things you mentioned.

Lawnchair v2 does, too, if you mean the swipe up from the bottom of the screen behavior, and the hold down/move the home "pill" back and forth behavior.

What I mean is when you open multitask (sliding up from bottom) with default launcher you get some quick access to most used apps and also multitask (that 2 things at same time), also the sliding option is integrated, so if you slide half way it opens multitask with quick acces, and if you slide up until the end, it open the app box.
I didnt find any way to replicate that.
Well, no third party launcher can do what you want... yet.
If you want to keep the stock launcher and change icons, root is the way to go, sadly.

Is there any mode to change each folder icon or to use icon from 1st app in folder?
Hi, I'm bought this phone recently and my previous one was a galaxy S5.
So when I moved to poco f1 a lot of features were missing so I have several problems:
1. I noticed that I can't see notifications (like whatsapp) in the notifications bar AND in the lock screen.
2. I can't open new folder in the launcher (only in the home screen).
3. notch disable.
Can I fix these problems somehow? (New rom?something else?)
please help me! I'm getting frustrated with this phone and I just bought it...
Thank you!

Yes for 1 and 3
Dont know for 2 but you get a laucher that alows that if the default one doesnt (I am on Pixel Experience so I can not check it)
Yeah Lineage OS fixes all the issues. You get notifications on the lockscreen and you get the icon for the first notification, after a 2nd notification comes in, it will change to a dot to show that you have multiple notifications. You can disable the notch by going to developer options and look for 'Simulate a display with a cutout' and select 'Hide'. I dont use the launcher that comes with it, I always install Nova Launcher, I've been using that launcher on all my phones for years. The free version is still very good, no need to buy the premium version. The included launcher with Lineage can probably handle folders normally, ive just never used it long enough to know if it does.

It's really a pitty to see that samsung phones are the only smartphones that don't allow increasing the font size in the statusbar while we have huge screen estate, at least using the oneui settings.
So is there a way to increase the font size in statusbar? In the end of day my eyes are tired and can't read easily the clock
Just checked, can't do it either on my Xperia IV or Pixel Pro 7? You sure that other phones allow you to do this?

Not everything, statusbar and icons that you can resize later with your launcher
