Android Pie (rooted) disable lockscreen album art - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings,
I have a new OnePlus 6T (manufacturer unlocked) that I rooted using the OnePlus 6T Manager. I'm using the stock OxygenOS software on Android Pie. I was wondering if there's some way, a module maybe, that can be used to disable the lockscreen album art (specifically Pandora). Through some searching I found that there was an Xposed module that would do it, but it was for Android 5, possibly 7.1. It also looks like it was update for Oreo, but I haven't seen anything for Pie.
One solution I found was to disable *all* notifications from Pandora, but that also blocks the music controls from the lockscreen. Sure would be nice if Pandora had an option to disable it like Google Play Music does.
Thanks.

Spotify Lockscreen controls

Hi All,
I've had my S3 for 2 weeks now, sold my HTC One X for it, should of done it earlier tbh! Anyway one main bug of mine is no lockscreen controls for Spotify, when the HTC One X had it....does anyone know how a fix around this??
Cheers!
Stock? I do not believe the stock rom allows for music controls outside of the stock music player. Not really a bug just an oversight.

Yes sorry it is stock! To get the feature is there a ROM out there that supports it do you know??
It's 'cause Samsung's TouchWiz lockscreen doesn't support the controls, whereas the AOSP one does. A workaround is to enable pattern/password etc. security on the phone which switches the lockscreen to the AOSP one, and should show the controls (at least it does for me with PowerAMP and pattern lock)

doesmt work on my S3 ;/
I get lockscreen controls when using pin code unlock. This happens on Omega V10 but it should be a Android feature and should work on stock roms too.

Just tried it on mine and it works, but I use Holo locker with Nova Launcher for my Jelly Bean theme I have, it's a bit of a pain to get lockscreen controls so I will just have to bit the bullet... Thanks anyway tho!

This worked for me. I used the PIN option because it wasn't working with the Pattern.

Not true at all, I use Doubletwist and i have lock screen controls on my Note 2 stock
People need to stop thinking you cant do anything because you have a stock rom.
Doubletwist gives me lock screen controls , Spotify however does not, so the problem is with the app and not the stock rom

I'm on 4.2.1 and my Spotify is usable from the lock screen. It automatically creates a widget when spotify is playing. I use Omega v44 rom and nova launcher.

I had the same problem with spotify when I switched from an iPhone to a S3.
I wrote "media utilities" , provides notification controls and widgets with cover art. Was a fun little project and works pretty well with apps like spotify and pandora which have not added all of the controls yet.

Sorry should have added a screen shot. Used "Media Utilities" for spotify controls and "Widget Locker" for lock screen replacement.

Enabling fullscreen album cover lock screen

Hey guys,
just switched over from my dying Nexus 6p to the Mate 20 Pro and was wondering - is it possible to enable fullscreen album cover art for the lock screen when using music apps like Spotify?
On my 6p that was a feature that was added sometime during an update and I never had to enable it manually, it was just there someday.
I like it more than the stale tiny notification box I get right now.
Any idea how to enable the feature or if it's compatible with Huawei devices at all?
This is great news. No more album art cover on the lock screen. No more youtube tumbnails, no more spotify nsw album covers.
I know that my post doesn't help, just felt like sharing my joy.

As far as I know this was an Android change, as when I had a S8 and Note 8 both had the same problem. I prefer the full screen artwork but on my Mate 10 pro I can't get Spotify to show full screen.

Redmi Note 9s MIUI 12.0.2 (Android 11) update

I will advise everyone not to update to
MIUI 12.0.2, android 11 cause I wish I didn't. The Gallery app is a downgrade. Plus the Work mode icon that I don't think anyone needed. There are other things I don't like and I generally consider this update to be a downgrade .
I've just received the update notification and havent read much about this update apart from your post.
Could you expand any further on the things you've found wrong? Has it gotten any better or worse for you since you've updated?
Yesterday I updated from 12.0.6.0. So far, (to me) the most annoying thing introduced in 12.0.2.0 is navigation gestures don't work with 3rd party launchers anymore (even Poco Launcher). I found a trick to use at least the "back" gesture but you come back to default launcher if you try to use "home" (swipe up from bottom border to center). So, to use all Navigation Gestures you are obligued to use system launcher.
After updating to this version , I can't use any wifi access point. And gallery app works bad. And themes are few

Question A few questions about MiPad 5pro and MiUI

Hi there - I have recently purchased the MiPad5pro and have a few questions about the tablet and MiUi in general as this is my first Xiaomi device. I'm running the latest available version for MiUi for the pad5pro in China.
1. Has anyone been able to get Novalauncher to work? I get an error saying only those launchers verified by Xiaomi are allowed. Is that a miui issue or a miui for pad issue? Any other launchers recommended? I use Oneplus for my phone and have it set up with novalauncher that allows me to have the google shelf when swiping to the left from the home screen. I'd love to have that feature on my mipad.
2. is there a way to natively translate text on the screen? For eg: ColorOs has a built in screen translater that allows you to translate any part of the screen or the entire screen. Anything similar available for miui natively?or any apps that you'd recommend that aren't loaded with ads?
3. without root, is there a way to remove miAI and make Google assistant the default assistant app and get it to work in all the apps?for example, the miui clock app has a mic option for assistant but it triggers miai even though I have set Google assistant as my default ai app. Also, every time the tab is restarted, it defaults to miai as the default ai app instead of the previously set Google assistant.
Happy to answer any questions anyone might have if they are looking at buying this tablet.
Yes I am on the same CN stock ROM (do we have any other choice atm?). I am hating MIUI every minute of the day...
1. You can choose Nova as your default launcher. But you have to do so from Nova, not MIUI settings.
2. Sorry I don't know... I gather you're talking about an app that reads a text off a picture? You tried the stock Gallary app (the purple one)? If you didn't find the function in the app, then maybe it's not possible without a 3rd party app?
3. My pad is rooted, but I've tried what you asked... It looks like your choice of the detault assistant app (I tried google) stays after reboot. I set the detault through 'default app' on settings.
I hope we will be out of this misery soon. MIUI (Chinese version) is a torture.

Thanks. I don't hate the MiUi, it serves my purposes, just hoping to get a few of these issues fixed.
Was able to get Nova sorted like you mentioned, but Nova didn't work too well as it doesn't fully move to landscape mode.
#2 is the one I need most, so hopefully if someone else has an app they can recommend. It is not just about a picture, but about text in any app. Hoping for a 3rd party app that can be used that doesn't have a bunch of ads every time you use it.
I removed MiAi using this method along with some other Chinese language apps
It seems safe and you can re install or re enable the apps of you have any problems.

I have the solution to 3.
Without root, it's just a matter of getting the permissions correct.
Xiaomi has a privacy setting in the Google permissions that grants the permissions without confirming with google. That's why you can't get the default assistant to stick.
This will fix it. Give google always allow on device info inside the Google app, not assistant app.
Enjoy.

Question Will there be ROMs for this device?

Just being curious ... will there be any ROMs for the Zenfone 9?
Lot's of small things really bother me and I would love to fix em by using a custom ROM. But I am not sure if I should keep the phone since my last one also had no chance of ROMs wich bothers me still.
The Zenfone 8 is supported by LineageOS, maybe the 9 will be too.
I sure hope so :/ I had zf8, now owned by my wife, and I hoped this would get similar support.
Chill out a little, its only been what? 2 months since the release. Porting a device takes time and effort and is done by volunteers. I expect there are going to be ROMs for this device, I think it is just a matter of time as IIRC Asus sends out devices to ROM maintainers for them to play around with and port out.
Chances are good as Asus shares Kernel sources and has a quite open policy. Also, software support by Asus is limited so chances are good someone jumpes in.
I agree, it takes some time before custom ROMs will come out. However I personally don't feel any special need for a custom ROM yet, the ASUS ROM is clean, fast, smooth, a bit customizable and with a good battery life
Which is true, but specially support of third party launchers is horrible on gesture navigation. When you go to your home screen, most of the time, the device thinks it needs to "stop" or "show" the launcher as an open app, which really bothers me. Never had this on any custom ROM so far.
Also, I would love to get more customizations. What we have is great and all, I really love the effort they put into it. But in some parts, I would love to see some custom juice here.
But that's just me being an UX designer, doing his thing
Well, with A13 not anymore. There is no more home gesture bug, it works smoothly on 3rd party launchers. I'm using Niagara and the experience is great finally!
Not sure what you mean on custom ROMs, as the bug was a A11 and A12 issue, not custom or OEM ROM issue. I had multiple ROMs on my previous OnePlus 7T Pro and the home gesture was the same on all ROMs on 3rd party launchers. It was due to how Android worked with the recent apps menu as it wasn't separate from the launcher, but was using the OEM launchers' recent apps, so if you had a 3rd party launcher, the original one was still running in the background, providing the recent apps menu. That is why the but was there. So no custom ROM could have fixed that.

This is awesome! My only main gripe with Zenfone 9 is that I can't make icons on home screen and app drawer bigger. Tried using Nova or Lawnchair but they were buggy. Now I can't wait for A13 beta to hit my device.

the interest of a custom ROM on a device like the zenfone 9 is obvious, it allows to increase the duration of the software support which Asus ends after only 2 years.

It requires some folks to volunteer to develop the custom ROMs, such as Lineage. It is unofficial if the person's efforts don't meet the long term requirements for Lineage and those who maintain the original.
I'm in the process of learning how to make an AOSP ROM myself, so if I succeed you'll see a thread from me about it!
