hey. You just have to use pinch or zoom out on the notification to expand it. It's not as confortable as in other cases since you have to use 2 fingers, but u have the posibility

i know that but even after doing this noyi3fications dosnt expanzd to show full message like in aosp roms. it expands but only shows initial part of the message.

Hi,
as far as i know notifications now depends on version of miui.
Global Developer roms running A7 have new notification shade that looks more like aosp. You can try it.
China roms have the old one (xioami.eu roms and miuios.cz roms are based on China so there is still old system.
Or there was an app in store called Material Notification shade, or something like that, that can help.

Is there any way, I Can expand the notifications with single finger

Is there any way, I Can expand the notifications with single finger in Redmi Note 3, This is a huge phone and all the time to see the contents of notification , have to use two fingers. Any solution to this?
Nope. No way to do this.
Maybe you could install xposed and try gravity box module. But that would require root and recovery.
Hit thanks if I helped you ?
It feels very weird to access notifications that way
nexus does, thats why

Yes, use Nova launcher, swipe down on home screen will drop down notifications window.
I'm using Nova, but my concern is notifications not the drawer.

He is not asking about opening the drawer, he is asking about the particular notification itself. Imagine you have received 5 messages from 3 contacts on whatsapp. On aosp you can simply swipe down on the notification itself and see those messages without opening whatsapp. But on miui it is not shown in expanded manner and over and above that you have to use both your fingers to expand it. This is really frustrating and it is one of the main reasons I hate miui. Pathetic notification system they have.
BTW I have moved to aosp v4 from the last 1 month. Don't plan on going back to miui.

If you have xposed, try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hartec.miuistatusbar (there is free version but outdated here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/miui-tweaks-xposed-t3329815).
There is an option to ALWAYS show expanded notifications. Not what you're searching for, but at least you can get a peak on your notifications.

Miui's default launcher have that also. Swipe down for settings/notifications and swipe up for search bar.

If on MIUI, use xMIUI module in exposed, it allows tweaks for statusbar like one click notification expand, always expanded notifications, QS tiles count increase etc.
Its from same dev who modded exposed installable zip for MIUI.

If you are rooted with xposed installed, then install xMIUI module. It has that feature to expand notifications on single tap, as well as to force expanded notifications. I have tried it and it worked well.
any other method? xmiui is for xposed and there's no xposed for N based roms

No, M also has that
xMIUI module for xposed will also expand notifications: -
Expand by touch
or by swipe up/down
or both of the above.

Why are people talking about MIUI nougat in Kenzo thread?

About the NOTCH

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.

Hi I'm ordering a poco, and the fact that notification icons do not show near notch is intriguing. Does hiding the notch resolve this problem ? Can you please post a screenshot? Thanks

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. Sure they can fix that to some extent in the future through an update but it definitely is not a deal breaker. Using an IOS device for an Android User, That's Frustrating.

I didn't receive my poco yet, does it have a notification preview for the lock screen? Coz I put my phone on the office and see details of incoming notification, if each time I get a notification I need to unlock and slide, that's a big deal for me

There's no issue with lock screen Notifications. You can use Settings>Lock Screen & password>Wake Lock screen for notifications.

Raised my voice to POCO on status bar thing,
https://twitter.com/jaimani/status/1036965116053311493?s=20
Let's see what they do.
No notification on status bar due to the notch is realy frustrating. Hardly 4 days of usage, I miss those notification icons on status bar. Its like they skipped step 1 for achieving god_knows_what. I have literally started hating the phone in 4 days itself. Trust me, its beyond frustrating. Its like you went back to Symbian OS -_-. How can they miss out on such a basic and addictive utility?!

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.

[Q] how to get rid of the blur effect in the quick settings drawer in One Ui?

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 mean this blur effect here

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

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,

Notifications fixed? If so, I'm gonna buy this phone again!

Hello xda-people!
I have just one simple question.
I bought this phone like 2 months ago and sold it like a week later, because I couldnt handle not showing notifications because of the notch.
It was like "show for 3 secs and then show the clock again"
I kinda hated that, although I think the phone is just good for 260€.
My question now:
Is that fixed? If so, how's it now?
P.S.
I want to stay on MIUI, since I really like it.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Touch issues and stuff like that still persistent?
Any other issues?
Still not fixed, another feature brought to you by the flagship of compromises.
Never settle bro
Not as of now, but seems they do plan to make it better. Just note that I'm using a notification mod and it works so well. You can check xda for the link and steps if you still plan to purchase the phone again

Same here thats why im using miui with notification mod and touch issues hone with custom kernels..
Forget it!
Suggest u to buy Lenovo z5 pro gt.
2. Notification dismissed from status bar, expect to keep notification showing in status bar
As the space in status bar is limited for POCO and POCOPHONE, after testing with a group of beta users we picked below 2 solutions:
Keep AM/PM status and a notification indicator when there are unread notifications;
Remove AM/PM status so we could put more notification icons in status bar
Feel free to share us your preference.

rom with most custom recents menu?

RR used to be the best but the version for this phone doesn't have much.. Can anyone recommend another rom? I like to adjust the recents menu, especially if I can make it stack vertical instead of horizontal.

Really the horizontal? There are no titles, no way to read quickly, and you have to scroll slowly one by one. There's basically no way to even get through all your open apps if you have more than maybe 5.

Don't need titles when there's an app icon at the top, you don't have to scroll slowly past them.... A big swipe gets you to the other end of the list easily.
It's the worst thing to happen to Android, even with plenty of other aggravations every year. Remember when they linked call and alert volume for no reason? The people designing these phone system plans have my least respect.

Did you ever get a straight answer on this? I'm intending to go with RR because it has an alternative to the abomination that is the current Android recents (I could rant here, again, but I won't ).
EDIT: Answer by self. RR's Slim Recents works perfectly; better than stock Android's recents, even before they murdelized it.
