RROS even has a setting to enable that but it didn't do anything for me either. I think that's just not possible on the Honor 9... Sadly - would have loved to have that feature too.

The fps always goes straight into the homescreen and I often just want to see my notifications on the lockscreen. Having to press the power button on the side therefore can be quite inconvenient when the phone is lying on the desk.
PS: Oh, well, that was another downside of EMUI. I don't get why they don't show older notifications on the lockscreen. If the phone gets unlocked once, all the notifications for this moment don't show up on the lockscreen anymore (which stock Android and I guess most other OEM skins do).

Strange that it is missing as it works in the H7.
Isn't that a hardware limitation at least on the h9?
Well bro you can use the "Evie Launcher", than go to settings and pick double Tap option. You can lock your phone via Double Tap than (Not unlocking)
Wish this phone have the notch/status bar settings like in the G7 etc. Did I miss something?
Which settings? The V60 has settings under New Second Screen, which of course is confusing with the dual screen.

Oh my word I totally missed that smh haha. Had the phone in Night mode so it was grayed out and I never bothered paying it any mind.
Night mode is best mode anyway!
I installed Natcho Notch to hide mine most of the time. It doesn't work with my games, though. You know, if they would've went with a basic screen without a fake cutout with the dual case, I'd probably use it a lot more. I know they did it to be symmetrical with the main screen, but I would appreciate seeing everything.

Good look, I'll have to check that out for myself. I think maybe LG was lazy and or cutting cost. Either way it makes no sense and takes away from the dual screen a bit to have the notch there. But aside from that I'm really digging the dual screen, ESPECIALLY after installing the Wide Mode app from the Play Store. Wide Mode everything haha
Anyone know how to hide the notch on the second display? I remember during the initial setup of the phone there was an option to keep the notch on the second display but now I can't find it in the settings.

You can not hide the notch on the dual screen, only on the main display. Go to display>new second screen. Have to have night mode off though.

Hi guys,
On my old OnePlus X and OnePlus 6T thanks to Oxygen OS I could set actions depending on the presses on the navigation bar (for example: long press the home button to lock the screen) in the settings but I can't seem to find this option on the settings app of my OnePlus Nord 2.
Is it hidden somewhere?
If it's not possible anymore out of the box, are there any apps, adb commands or accessibility hacks to lock the screen when I long press the home button?
I really miss this feature, I was able to lock the screen without touching the power button from anywhere (while being in an app, while texting, etc.).
Thanks!
Do you mean this?
Badtz-Maru said:

No that's not it.
There was a setting on previous OnePlus phones that simply locked the screen (as pressing the power button would do) by long pressing the home button (the round one in the middle).
I can't seem to find this setting on my Nord 2 even though it is present on my OnePlus X, 6T and even on my friends 8T...
The Oxygen OS version running on the Nord 2 is completely different from all the other OnePlus phones, which sucks...
This is probably why:

I use on Nord 2 , Double Tap to Sleep and Double Tap to Wake . DTS from Microsoft Launcher and DTW from own system . Both are working flawless .

Yes I also do that but this isn't exactly what I want since you have to return to the homescreen and only then you can double tap to lock. I want to be able to lock my device while in an app and without touching the power button.
No those actions are sadly missing , the OS in the Nord2 is missing a lot of OxygenOS previous features because it's now merged with ColorOS and they decided to not include a lot of usefull features from both OS and that's very stupid IMO .

Yeah that's what I figured, that sucks
Just returned the phone because of that (and other reasons too for example slight black crush on low brightness and very bad battery drain especially on standby/when I sleep)...
I have a Nord CE and even though it lags sometimes in the UI it's overall way nicer (screen and battery life are fantastic). I just miss the alert slider on the CE and the vibration motor sucks but it's not a big deal to me.
I think the black crush in low brightness is a common issue with a lot of OLED panels , my previous oled phones had exactly the same behaviour .
As for the standby drain it must be an app you have, during the night I get 0.5~0.7% per hour on my nord 2 , and I easily get 2 days with a single charge and moderate usage.
But the fake OxygenOS with so many useful features missing is clearly very annoying for me, if the Android 12 update don't bring anything new I think i'll switch for a Pixel 6

Yeah the battery life would probably have settled after 2-3 more days of use but the fake feeling OS really put me off.
The black crush issue is indeed plaguing OLED displays it seems, I tried the 7T, 8, 8T and Nord 2 in the span of a year and sent every single one back after a few days because of it and stayed with my 6T which had a perfect screen.
I recently bought the Nord CE to give it at try and the screen is also perfect, so now that I've finally won the OLED lottery I'm keeping it despite it lagging sometimes compared to my 6T.
I feel like the black crush issues are worse on high refresh screens: the 8T screen (120Hz) had the worst black crush and all of the 90Hz had it too but less pronounced (except for my Nord CE). I rarely see black crush on older 60Hz devices (My 6T, my girlfriends Oppo Reno 2, older Samsung phones, etc.).
I miss this feature too. Could you please share it with me if you find a solution?

Depending on which Android version you are: when rooted (Magisk) activate LSPosed and then GravityBox (R). This has all the options you need! DO. NOT. PUT. YOUR. CLOCK. IN. THE. MIDDLE!!! This will bootloop your device! All other GravityBox features seem to work.
On A12 there is no official GravityBox but in LSPosed you'll find an unoffical version for Android S. Not a lot works but buttoncontrol does!

Any solution you know for A13? I have a OP9P with A11 but decided to update OS and I miss this feature a lot, both long pressing home button to open notification bar and double press home button to lock screen. Don‘t know why they took out these features, they were really useful. (Im rooted but I didnt found GB for A13 or any other magisk module solution yet)
Unfortunately this was all I have. My OP9 is running A12 with /e/OS
Does anybody know whether LineageOS 20 has this long press mapping feature? I'm getting really annoyed with this and the fingerprint brightness bug in OOS12 on my OP7T. About ready to jump ship.

I tried these 2 modes:
settings put secure display_cutout_hide_notch 1
settings put system op_camera_notch_ignore 1
Nothing worked.
Reason: OS cuts out more pixels than actual cutout killing my useful space. (verically and horizontally).
I want OS to set cutoit to NONE as if there is no cutout.
ALTERNATIVE: How to set custom size cutout without root?
Seems it's a complete hit or miss depending on the phone manufacturer and even model.
I have 2 Note 10+'s, one running on 9, the newer on 10. The both look and behave almost identically though. Under the hood though it becomes apparent Samsung went to great lengths to accomplish this on the Q variant. The Q variant has dozens of new small system apks to achieve this. They don't appear to reduce battery life or performance at all.
Then I saw this. It's nuts. Be glad you don't have that phone!
I'm pretty sure there is an option in developer options.
To enable just go to about phone find build version and spam tap it around 10 times then go to dev options and it "should" be there
If it's a samsung, it might be hidden. But My old ANDR11/OneUI3.1 device shows it.

The Problem is, in Dev.options I see "Default, Corner, Double (Top&Bottom), Narrow (narrower but taller)".
I don't see None option. Usually if you don't, you stillmight find that in hidden Engineer Menu but that is too much of a hassle for a possibility.

Setting it to none would cause lots of issues I believe.
I bought my Xperia 1 IV last week and almost considered returning it at first, because it was overheating a lot the first day. I have sort of a traumatic experience with overheating phones as I had the Z5 which was simply a bad phone with the Snapdragon 810 and insufficient cooling. After some research I read the same thing about the Xperia 1 III, with people saying that the "AI needs to learn" and it will "go away after 2 days". It still gets warm, but I did notice I was overly conscious of it, and since I had my XZ3 around with my SIM inside, I could do some comparisons. The XZ3 has a much smaller hotspot, so when it gets warm, it's only above the camera area on the back, and you don't really feel it holding in your hand. When the 1IV gets warm, the heat is spread along the top half of the back and into the sides so you're much more aware of when it gets warm. So I decided to just keep it, root it and start using it as my daily phone.
The rooting experience was problem free, just like with my XZ3. Grab the unlock code from Sony, use XperiFirm to extract boot.sin, use unSIN to convert to boot.img, do the same with vbmeta.sin, install Magisk, use it to patch boot.img, use fastboot to oem unlock and flash the patched boot.img and unpatched vbmeta.img. Done! I looked at installing a custom recovery, but TWRP doesn't support Android 12 yet, so I'll just have to be careful and not get myself into situations where I need recovery to bail me out of bootloops for now.
What works:
Magisk 25.1
Zygisk
LSPosed 1.8.3
Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.2.1
fbind v2021.12.7
MagiskHide Props Config 6.1.2 (used to hide navbar and enable bluetooth in-band ringing)
G-VisualMod 4.1 (although I removed it again because it didn't do what I wanted)
Modded GCam 8.1.101 A9 GV2a ENG (for Night Sight as the Sony camera app has no equivalent - only issue is clipped highlights turn yellow)
Fluid Navigation Gestures (navbar hide doesn't work but see above for workaround)
YouTube Vanced non-root mode (make sure to set microG to restricted battery mode)
XPrivacyLua 1.31
What doesn't work:
Immersive mode and any apps/mods that claim to enable it
AOSP Mods (crashes SystemUI constantly and most of the mods don't work)
GravityBox (S) (crashes GPS apps like google maps / waze)
MinMinGuard 2.1.1 (shows 0 ads blocked)
YouTube Vanced root mode (YouTube app is too new, can't downgrade)
Another issue I encountered is that Google Maps on my XZ3 has driving mode available, but since this is Android 12, there is a new revamped version of driving mode that is region locked to US/CA/UK/AU. You will get "Driving mode is not yet available in your region" in unsupported regions. The workaround is to sign out from Google Maps, add the Driving Mode shortcut to your home screen, and then sign in again. The shortcut will work even when signed back in.
I really resent not being able to hide the (rather big) status bar and all the OLED burn in consequences of having the status bar visible at all times. The pixel shifting of the status bar icons is also fairly extreme and it really looks ugly when the icons are crooked compared to the rest of the UI. I always had immersive mode enabled on my XZ3 and after 3.5 years of daily use I have zero burn in. If anyone has ideas or suggestions to get immersive mode re-enabled on Android 12, I'd love to hear them.
UPDATE: I managed to hide the status bar with Xposed Edge Pro! I've set up a trigger to hide the status bar when the Xperia Home launcher loses focus and to unhide it when the launcher gains focus. This way, the home screen shows the clock, battery and notifications, but during app use there is no burn in from the status bar. It's basically how I had it set up on my XZ3, although I used Immersive Manager which unfortunately no longer works on Android 11 and higher. The only downside to using Xposed Edge is that you can briefly see the home screen reflowing when the status bar appears. Curiously, you can't see the other apps reflow when the status bar disappears again, even with doubled animation speed.
The phone buzzer is also really strong, to the point where if you have it on a hard surface like a table, it makes a lot of noise vibrating. I tried Vibration Tuner but it hasn't been updated in so long that it doesn't work. Are there any modern alternatives? The haptic feedback is too strong for my liking as well.
So what is it you used to sort the heating problems being rooted exactly? Was thinking of doing the same thing myself. Thanks for posting this btw!

Just wait for the "AI" scheduler/governor to learn to throttle the device. It takes a few days but the heat is acceptable afterwards. It will never be as cool as a phone without heat issues (like the XZ3 or 1 II) but it doesn't impair daily app usage and the only overheating incident I've encountered the last few days was sitting outside in 30 degree heat leaving the phone in the direct sun, and I was impressed how quickly it recovered from that.
For me personally, the awesome camera and 120hz display ultimately won out over returning the phone. In an ideal world, Sony would have used the Snapdragon 8+ gen 1 which doesn't have thermal issues, and you could hope for a mid-generation refresh of the 1 IV with the 8+, but that probably won't happen. Like the reviews say, the phone does get warm and it throttles to keep the heat manageable, but once Adaptive Battery has had a few days to learn your usage pattern, it's probably not going to be so bad as to cause problems.
When you rooted, did it stop you from using the camera software that came with the phone by any chance?
No, the camera works 100% the same as before.

I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in Viper4Android myself and its installation looks a bit too involved to try out simply to be able to say if it works or not. I also don't have a custom recovery yet so I'm a bit wary about boot loops still.

If and when there's enough developer interest in this device to develop a custom kernel or magisk overlay to tweak the thermals, I might try that. For now I'm satisfied with thermals and battery life, it's not nearly as bad as it was with the Z5 back then. I run battery care at 80% max charge most days and reach about 40-20% charge at bedtime, and on days where I'm out of the house for a long time I disable battery care for a full 100% charge to extend battery life for heavy usage which works well. I'm mostly just happy to have a camera that's a joy to use again after using the XZ3 which was extremely mediocre to the point where taking photos was just not enjoyable.

Even with the stock kernel, once rooted, you can easily use Franco Kernel Manager to disable some cores which will immensely improve any heating issues you might have.
I want to flash HongKong firmware but my phone is now using China firmware which version is higher than HongKong one, once I flash it my phone goes black. So I wonder if I unlock bootloader, can I flash lower firmware?
You should be able to downgrade to any official firmware with FlashTool without unlocking your bootloader. If your phone goes black it's more likely you're flashing incorrect firmware. You realise there are two distinct hardware variants of the 1 IV, maybe you picked the wrong one? There's the XQ-CT54 and the XQ-CT72. Mine is the XQ-CT54.

Thanks, I got the code generated, but now I'm stuck with getting the Fastboot Drivers installed.
The Sony "OEM Drivers" ADB drivers work fine when the phone's powered on, but when I switch over to Fastboot mode (vol up, plug in usb, blue led comes on), it's not recognised.
Sony's "fastboot driver" inf from 2014 does recognise the device, but I can't use that ancient inf with the latest Google USB drivers (Windows refuses to install the drivers due to hash not matching).
Would you be able to point or supply the fastboot driver you used to connect up your Xperia 1 IV?
EDIT: rebooting to fastboot via ADB brings up the "android fastbootd", but this doesn't seem like the actual Sony fastboot environment, so still can't oem unlock :/
Nevermind, finally figured it out. Followed the section about force-installing the Google Android Bootloader driver as per https://www.xda-developers.com/download-android-usb-drivers/ and that worked.
As this is the *only* current gen SD 8 phone with both a 3.5mm jack *and* an SD card slot, it may end up being my next upgrade. As my third hard requirement is at least the possibility of rooting it(I always do this before a phone can become my daily driver), this does a lot to seal the deal, so to speak, and is extremely helpful besides.
With my current phone(a Motorola g100) experiencing digitizer errors, even still under warranty, I may just upgrade and sell it after the warranty repair.

It's interesting, when I look in the MinMinGuard interface it doesn't seem to be working (it's showing it blocked 0 ads), but I don't get any ads in apps so I just assumed it was working anyway. I have to admit I'm also using AdAway which blocks ads using the hosts file (of course making sure to install Magisk Systemless hosts first), which could be making MinMinGuard redundant.
