[Q] Google Chrome Tab Grid and Tab Groups - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I run Chrome Dev as a browser on my Pixel 3, and have been running the dev build for many years with little issue.
A while ago, Chrome introduced a grid tab switcher view that I liked very much, and tab groups that I also thought were useful for decluttering. I'm not sure exactly when/if these features were added to the stable build.
However, within the last couple of weeks, both features are gone. I do not recall the exact date or version that triggered this. The tab switcher is now just the "stacked card" layout, which I don't care for anymore. The tab groups are nowhere to be found (no context menu option to "open in new tab in group"). I found some similar issues from a few months ago, and followed those steps: I have checked the the relevant `chrome://flags` options, and have forced them to enable if they were set to default (see screenshot).
Interestingly, I also tried installing Chrome Beta and Stable, and the features didn't seem to appear there either.
Anybody know why this changed, and how to get the other behavior back? Thanks!

This is what I did to get "index cards" view back

I now have an issue where in my messaging contacts menu - it is showing up doubles and triple listings under 'name - custom, name - mobile' I got rid of this before in TW launcher by going into gmail an changing the settings so it wouldnt automatically add contacts etc. but now with go launcher its made a comeback? anyone know how i fix this?

TouchWiz mimicking, halo, etc... how far can it go...?

Hello...
I am trying to customize my (new) sony xpereia z2, (got it for waterproof), to as close as possible to a Galaxy note or tab, as far as it can go feature wise.
I already have a few floating apps:
-floating stickies-becomes complicated with too many stickies, swiping them to the side, it becomes (almost) impossible to find the one you want, needs a single view interface, for organized viewing/editing , as well along with the float feature.
-floating browser, and cobra - crashes with only 2 tabs, doesn't remember my websites.
-G-player - my floating window will not resize, pretty sure have gone through all the options in settings, it is stuck,
I am aware of xhalofloatingwindow and xmultiwindow.
- is the only difference between the two that halo floats and multi divides the screen in fixed way? or are there other differences in the two that I am missing...
- (also when people refer to 'halo', this is the same thing as 'xhalofloatingwindow', right? or is it different...)
- are these considered 'custom roms', or not bc only partial change..
- also TouchWiz... I have read that TouchWiz mimicking apps exist, and to look here, but I haven't found any names, thus far.
the features I want are: quick screenshot, and editing, and note taking next to the screenshot, in a logged/organized manner. I would buy a stylus too, if found if could find apps or roms that mimick the galaxy note.
I do like xperia's interface, lockscreen, homescreen editor set up, and buttons. It is not so much the interface that I am trying to change, but to get a few more features. but I would change the interface if that's the only way to do it.
another subject - copying images from web browser, (not saving them), this is impossible on android but have read with a custom rom (not sure which ones, all or only some?) it is possible.
also closing tabs in chrome. you have to close each one manually, obviously annoying, plus the fact that they all reopen if you just wait the program. which Roms (all or only some) can help this...?
please advise if you can ...
Thank you for any advice ....

Problems with notification bar on OnePlus X

Hello people.
I use a OnePlus X with the stock ROM (Android 6.0.1). I never made any ROM changes. From last week to now, out of the blue, the notification bar is not working properly (video here > gofile.io/d/KvLznW)
I'm using the Rootless Launcher (Pixel Launcher). The bar only works on the home screen, either vertically or horizontally. If I open an app, the bar doesn't work vertically. And if I use the original launcher, the bar does not open at all.
Is it more likely to be a hardware or software problem?
What I've tried (and it didn't work):
- Restart the device
- Enable the guest option in the user menu
- Reset the device to factory settings
In view of this, I even thought about changing the ROM, but I did not feel confident because of the diversity of information about certain ROMs and versions, considering that I want the most stable and "official" version possible.
I would prefer NOT to have to change ROMs. Unless it's the only solution (and don't come up with other problems). Can anyone help me?

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
