Oreo Picture in Picture? - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

I've read up briefly on this, but it looks like the stock Oreo implementation of PIP is not enabled on MIUI 9. Is this true? Any way to enable it?
I assume it works fine on the Android P beta, but since the camera seems to be terrible on that I'm reluctant to try it.
Can anyone who has tried the MIUI 10 beta report on whether it is enabled?

YouTube is the one I was looking for.

So for whatever reason it seems to be working fine today with Google Maps and with YouTube. Possibly an app update enabled it? Whatever the reason I'm not complaining.

I think you have to have a YouTube Red subscription to enable PiP, it's probably not a miui problem if it works with maps

Youtube works for me but only when i tap some notification not when I do gesture to go to home...

Pixel 2 launcher for non-rooted Pixel 1?

Hey everybody,
There are some threads that contain the pixel 2 launcher apk and I have tried to install it without rooting and deleting the original pixel launcher but no success. Is there's anyways I can install the pixel 2 launcher without rooting my device?
Thanks in advance.
I side loaded this and have been running it for the past week without issue.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/pixel-launcher/pixel-launcher-p-4275643-release/pixel-launcher-p-4275643-android-apk-download/
Just install the APK over your existing pixel launcher... It's just an updated version so you don't need to delete anything ... Same with the 5.0 camera app that allows for the new hdr advance and motion capture for pictures... ( Only problem now is the play store will update to 5.1 which disables the extra features in pixel 1s ...

The features he listed in the portion of the quote that you didn't quote
A newer version available in the Play Store will trigger an update, and if you have Auto Update turned on, it happens automatically.
Hmm I just installed and even with my black wallpaper I'm still getting the white theme in the app drawer, settings, etc.

I don't even want the new launcher, I think it looks worse than the old one... but I am a little annoyed that Google seem to be holding back features that would work perfectly fine on the first gen pixels just to keep them exclusive. Mostly I am referring to the camera. Seems a bit poor to screw over people who spent lots of money on their hardware 12 months (or less) ago.

Android 8.0 features Notification dots and Picture in picture NOT working

So this morning I noticed that 8.0 is available for my device, single SIM XZ Premium. So I immediately upgraded.
After testing things out, I found out that there is no way to get notification dots and PiP to work.
As for the dots, the dot does appear on the App icon. However long pressing the icon doesn't bring up any notifications. I only get the standard delete and app info options. And for certain apps the quick launch functions, such as New Tab for Chrome etc. I can't get notification dots to work. I made sure I didn't disable it accidentally, as it took me a couple of hours to comprehend what the hell notification channels are, and what Notification dots are called in my language (hungarian).
But no, I have it enabled on a system level, and on an app by app level as well. For the apps I've tested. Messenger, Viber, some misc. apps I use. I've read that on Pixel phones, only the stock launcher supports the dots. Is it possible somehow the Xperia stock launcher didn't get support? Would be a major oversight, but I mean it is possible.
Also PiP doesn't work either. I checked, and it is enabled for all my apps that support it. Tried it with Netflix, Chrome playing full screen video, VLC player. For VLC you have to also enable an in app setting, but it still doesn't work with any of them. I can't try with YouTube since my country still doesn't have Red. Also I heard the Google Maps app is still rolling out pip in updates, so I didn't bother with that either.
Is this an issue for anyone else too, or am I missing something?
So far I'm enjoying Oreo, my phone became super fast, which shocked me, as I didn't expect this much of a speed difference. Animations look a lot smoother. And I'm really starting to dig this new notification channel thing. Really helps me customize all my different app notifications.
I have only been able to get pip working with google maps and chrome when playing a video, but I had to try it twice for chrome to actually do it, since then it has been working without issue though. For notifications I have the same thing where the quick options show up but not the notification, to view the notifications I still have to pull down the notification bar. I tried netflix and youtube but pip refused to work, it just kept going to the homescreen, I haven't tried vlc.
I will also say that I am enjoying Oreo and how much faster the phone is, it shocked me as well because it really is significantly snappier when jumping between apps or going back to the homescreen and opening something new. I have also actually started using the google assistant and some of the features it provides.
Just install internet beta from Samsung... And you have picture in picture...

Interesting. I've tried out Maps just now and it indeed does work. I don't know what's the problem with the other apps then...
Notification dots still don't work though. Also I haven't been able to use the instant apps either. The option never comes up. Wish shopping app supposedly has an instant app version, but no matter what, I can't use it in instant version, Only full install.
Also adaptive icons aren't that adaptive, as the stock Xperia launcher has no option to choose which icon variation I want to use (square, round, teardrop etc)
I also haven't been able to figure out how to use the Autofill framework, which would give me the same options for autofill within the OS as I get with Chrome on web forms.
These features seem to be just straight up missing, or I don't know where to find them.

How did you do that by the way? I'm trying, but I can't seem to do it. I almost got it once, but the PiP auto closed as soon as the transition animation finished. Tried it with Chrome and Chrome Beta.

This applies only to the browser scenario, and NoChromo is better. Also, biometric login not supported on non-samsung devices = useless.

I went to a gaming site that I knew had videos, once there I started playing a video in full screen and then double tapped the home button and it put the video in pip mode. Maybe it only works with certain websites or online video players? I will try a couple other sites and see if they all work or not.

Okay I managed to make it work with IGN videos in Chrome. So it does work after all... sort of. I think we can still agree this isn't working as intended, the fact we have to pry to make it work.

Ya there seems to be something missing here, hopefully they will fix this within the next couple of weeks. I was really looking forward to using pip with video streaming apps.
Is there any way to use YouTube in PIP mode?

That's what we're saying, we can't get pip to work with youtube, netflix, or vlc. I really want to use pip mostly for youtube and netflix, so until I am able to do that I really don't care that much about this feature.
You can still move or delete apps in the menu, but you can now decide what press + hold on an app does when going to the settings of the app folder/launcher.
Update
I have downloaded Nova launcher and Lawnchair launchers, and neither seems to support the Oreo features, but instead it seems they have their own implementation of app shortcuts and badges.
So the problem has to be with the Xperia Home launcher.

Youtube currently blocked the workaround with the 'window' keycode. however there's OG Youtube - it's a modded youtube which has a recent youtube version as base. It has PiP, background playback and an option to download the video. Although the PiP is what i'm looking for. So far there are no downsides. You need to get XDA labs which has a pretty cool repo.
Try it here https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.google.android.ogyoutube

PIP works with VLC. Enable background playback in VLC settings . Only thing is it doesn't work like chrome where you just have to press the home button. In this case you have to select PIP mode(bottom left option in the attached screen shot) before you switch to any other app.
You need youtube red subscription for pip.
1. PiP works fine. Though you need a red subscription for Youtube in order for it to work with Youtube.
2. Instant apps work fine for me. There was this tetris game I was able to play without installing.
3. Autofill works fine too.
4. Long tapping the app icon doesn't seem to bring up notifications. Disappointing, since I was really looking forward to that feature.

There are plenty of features that are not here..... Another obvious example is the xperia dialer app. which is on the same 3.0.0 version as it was in August and looks nothing like it's advert.
It's more of a marketing thing. Look here! Look here! Shiny!Yet I believe most of those presented features will arrive at some point in time under Oreo and that's why they were presented - not as a done thing but more of a 'soon to arrive'. FYI notification dots are still not available on the beta release. Hopefully more updates will come.... sometime.... maybe spring next year? :laugh:
Didn't know PiP required YouTube red, useless, it's like YouTube is trying to destroy itself with everything they do recently.
It seems like we are in a full beta test, and would go on until oreo 8.1 would be released.... It's astonishing Google Pixel and Pixel 2 have a lot of problems and bugs with oreo update XD

Miui Update to 10.0.2.0 global OTA 9-18-18

I just got an OTA update for the global stable rom 9.6.4.0 to 10.0.2.0. Loads of UI changes and brings the security update to 8-18. However the phone is still running Oreo 8.0.0. I did capture the OTA file. If there is any interested I can upload to share.
Can you please make benchmark.
I am on pie beta and i have much better overall score, but bad ram score.
It will be interesting to compare.

I wonder if it is possible to revert to this stable build from the MIUI 10 Pie beta. I haven't rooted or installed TWRP, also haven't unlocked the bootloader although I started the timer before installing the beta. Everything was working totally fine for me on the Oreo MIUI 10 beta but since Pie my MMS on Verizon is totally broken.

No just downloaded and sideloaded OTA and it updates without wipe. The only new features I don't see implemented is the new gesture system, it is still using pill style from Android P.
And this which is odd to me.

I had read an article a few months back that said Pixel's would be getting beta this way but super surprised to see mata firmware on the Play Store.

Anyone's check VoLTE after flashing 10.0 ??
No volte for me, (f*ck!)
just a note, cts is broken in q beta. you wont be able to use any safetynet apps like google pay or pokemon go or some banking apps.
It's here but not the most stable. Some apps and games don't work. Pixel Launcher crashes in startup, a few launchers I've tried don't work at the moment.
Working fine here. No app problems or crashes yet (but I'm only a few hours in).
My thoughts:
"Full gestural navigation" is difficult to use. The pill is too small to grab, and it makes app switching difficult.
Sometimes the nav bar comes back when full gesture is on (in the keyboard, for example). Pressing the back button will click on both the back button *and* whatever was behind it (an app in the launcher, for example)
2-button navigation (like Pie) works as it always has.
The app switcher draws below third-party launchers like Nova and Action Launcher. After about 1 second, the launcher disappears and the app switcher is accessible. Makes for a very buggy experience. I assume this is to allow launchers to perform an animation during the transition, which simply isn't implemented yet.
Dismissing notifications can only be done by swiping right now. Swiping left sets the preferences for notifications from that app.
How do you enable full-screen navigation? I am not seeing that option under settings.

Just wanted to mention, you don't have to initiate the gesture from the pill, whether you're swiping up to go home or swiping right to switch apps, you can do it from anywhere on the "navbar" for lack of a better term.
Edit: For the full gesture system.

I opted in via the beta app before I went to see a movie, when I came out I had OTA notification, so within 2-3 hours. Some stuff pretty broken, so I would only recommend using if you're a developer or don't need this phone as daily driver.

This is a second phone for me and when I saw the new beta 3 phone list I turned it on and downloaded the app., approximately 9am Eastern. I hadn't used the phone in 3-4 months so there was a waiting notice to upgrade to the lastest Android 9 security patch. I hoped it would ignore it and go on to Q but of course no luck. The security update ran ok but no Q so far?? Don't have a sim in it presently, hope that doesn't stop the Q update over Wifi.

Anyone tried Key, Chase or Citi banking apps?
FYI I had several apps crashing: Gmail, Outlook, Amazon Prime Video, and Amazon Shopping.
The fix was mentioned on Reddit but if you have opted into the beta for the Android System Webview you need to opt out of its beta in the Play Store, then disable and reenable Android System Webview.
So any apps that rely on Webview can probably be fixed that way

[Gesture navigation problem on android 11]

Hello, I recently had on my poco F2 pro european version, the update to android 11. Since this update (12.2.1.0) gesture navigation on nova laucher bug while on android 10 there was no problem. Gesture bugs occur on all alternative launchers. Only back gestures work, and Home and Recent App only works on the Home page. It is impossible to go to home when I am on facebook for example. I don't know where it comes from, after the advice on xiaomi after-sales service I carried out a factory restore but without success. Thank you in advance for your answers.
Same as you, only I'm on the global version. Tried the factory reset as well.
For me just recents don't work.
Read the link for more info
MIUI 12 issues still exist with Nova, Lawnchair, & other 3rd-party launchers
Xiaomi's MIUI 12 still casues issues with thrid-party launchers like Nova, Lawnchair, and more as per the latest user reports.
piunikaweb.com
Same here, 'recents' don't work with Smart-Launcher'
Okay, from what I can see I'm not alone. Do you think this will be resolved with future updates or is android blocking this?

It's probably MIUI issue, because it works in AOSP ROMs.
Ah okay I thought the problem was similar to that android 10 at launch. What surprises me is that miui 12 under android 10 did not have this problem ...

Just don't update to latest "stable", it's not worth it.
In addition to lack of gesture support for 3rd party launchers (a huge annoyance, since if they don't restore these, I'll probably ditch F2 and move on to something more useable, besides Poco's launcher is a proper eyesore with that big bar at the bottom). Also I've been having issues with performance, lack of smoothness & often times Youtube crashing for no reason (when I'm not using it etc.).
Holy ****! So it's not just me.. Guess it's time to root my phone
ok, i have not found a working launcher! (i have tried 12x different apps!)
btw:
Nova 7 beta has the same problem!
no way out!
btw.
i have written to nova dev. They have answered they could not do anything against that behavior because xiaomi have to do that.
Must be a Poco F2 Pro specific issue..
i have seen, that the size of newer versions of poco launcher (>v. xxx.10) was reduced more than 10mb against older versions. No wonder, that we got problems.
no differences in behaviors if miui optimization is switched to on or off. Same result!
so wie have to wait for newer firmware fixes.
I have same problem, i cant open recents, and cant use gestures with other launchers.
Can some of you recommend custom rom with "swipe gestures" and "wake up on taking up" the fone features?
