Since you guys peruse here and reddit.
-Stay awake while reading/holding
The same way the sony xperia series detects the phone is upright and being held, delays the screen time out.
- Setting to adjust the bottom round corner overlays
There two overlays at the bottom of the screen. Would be great to add some setting stop adjust.
-Hide Navbar
Similar to the GS8 That give you granular control over when it's hidden.
-Auto Pin unlock
Again the on the xperia series, the check mark is removed, so once you put the correct pin the phone accepts and unlocks.
More to come....
So most of the things suggested above are actually pretty gimmicky, imo.
Only thing I miss coming from other phones is gesture support for things like camera and flashlight with screen off. Double tap power for camera works fine, but no way to get to flashlight without turning the screen on, pulling down quick toggles, and clicking flashlight. Maybe holding down the volume down button with screen off?
Moto has the best gestures, then oneplus, then everyone else. Unfortunately, there is hardware support required for these to work without killing the battery, so totally understand if we never get gestures like these.
Those are pretty lame requests.. Essential runs AOSP.
A request that are needed & needs addressing:
- manual mode for camera
- hdr auto toggles the flash on??
- release system images already
- beta program/Oreo
- timely security updates (just getting October?)
- fix touch issues and scrolling
- fp scanner causing lockups
Let's get the OS polished and working better before we add more features

I mean, those requests of yours are already what they're doing, and bug fixes. So like duh list.
As for essential running aosp. They do, and they are already adding stuff on top.
The elegant solution for the status bar is to run devices in full screen, then manually
bring back the nav bar and status bar. So options for that would just be additional to what they are doing.
The rounded corners. They are already overlaying black corners on top. So options for that would just be additional to what they are doing.
Double click power button for cam isn't aosp last I checked.
So hence "feature requests" not just another list asking for "do it faster". :good:
Fix the camera.
Show us you can do this and smash the naysayers. Please don't just throw in the towel and let companies like Razer come in and show you up.
I would like Oreo like everyone else, but keep the guns pointed at the cameras.
There's seriously no rush to race to Essential phone 2.
You have reduced the price and now have the stage yet again. (Not to mention a ton of dedicated customers waiting with faith and phone in hand. )
Seize the moment an knock it out of the park.
This is the perfect time for you to take gobs of consumers away from the Pixel line. Google is against the ropes with its own set of issues.
Now that your price is set where margins are thin, its time to prove your name. Fix the camera and move units like crazy to get it in as many hands as possible.
Essential Phone 2 will help when you user base confidently upgrades ans recommends your product.
I bought an Essential phone for tight finish. (Software & Hardware)
Oreo will clean up a lot of peoples wants.
Again though, make the hardware work to it full potential.
Essential, you put yourself in this position with Stock android promises coupled with exceedingly high end hardware.
If I wanted bells/whistles with headaches, I would have zero troubles finding and OEM for that.
I essentially want you to focus on the hardware and leverage what you have to a higher standard and level.
Fix the EIS
Bring the camera levels to LG G6 results since the parts are the same.
Fix the Camera Icon (The only one you created) - Its ridiculously amateur and sticks out like a sore thumb.
Keep up the AMA's
Stay focused and steady.
Don't just kick the can down the road.
Another point:
I feel you should point out and lean your American roots. Lots of consumers purchase phones from offshoot companies that are created outside of the USA. Subsequently, many of them have been busted by running data collecting and or malicious algorithms.
You will not have more attention than you do now. Get cracking on it and show us what your made of.
Show us you can do this!
I agree totally with Maven1975 this phone is an awesome piece of equipment, I think that the weak link is the stock camera app and the way it processes the photos taken (compression) I have been able to take some pretty good looking photos with the stock app, but both The GCam port and FV-5 take far better pics but why?
Over the past year I owned the G6 which took some really nice pics, I sold it to purchase the S8 which took some amazing pics but I just couldn't deal with the UI of either of those phones even with the themes and the S8 wasn't user friendly for myself because of how I hold a phone I need me some side bezels with how I hold phones. I ended up getting the U11 and I love HTC and the UI but the phone was "big" but it took the best pictures out of the three.
Then the Essential PH-1 came out with it's awesome form factor and amazing quality and design I figured hey it has the same image sensor as the G6 with newer hardware and dual camera setup I bought into the"Image Fusion" hype and figured the photos should be somewhere in between the G6 and U11
Fix the camera, give us a Pro/Manual Mode and Release the System Image
I love stock Android, so keep the updates quick and the owners of this high quality phone will be some of your best advertisement "bang for the buck"
Become part of the development community and make this a "flash happy" phone ..... I come from a time when the HTC Hero had so many options for flashing different roms and apps it was so pleasing make the Essential PH-1 an ICON like the Hero
android 10 seems to be in testing by samsung for our Tab S6 LTE (T865)
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/DBT/SM-T865/version.test.xml
I read, it should be out in next spring ... .
m.
I hope earlier... Maybe some beta one ui 2. Tab s6 is only newest snapdragon Samsung which is not updated yet
... I hope so too but as you know hope dies last
m.
Chances are so slim, of course
Good to know thank you. I'm still pretty happy with android 9. I received android 10 on my note 10 plus and honestly it's not a big jump for me.

Well, the S10 series got it 2-3 months earlier than the roadmap, the S9/Note9 is getting it now, instead of the projected April 2020 release, so one would guess Samsung will also release it for the S6 earlier as well. Given how it's the current flagship tablet and all.
I think, earliest possible is March

I also already have 10 on my pixel 3xl and to be honest I just turn on night mode on my S6 and it feels the same.
The only feature I really looked forward to was dark mode.
I'm hoping for a better DeX mode. Current works, but some apps are iffy, and some functionality is missing:
- always on top windows
- a more organised apps screen
- Improved taskbar with less clutter (gesture navigation should help with that)
- resizable handwriting keyboard
I hope for vibration settings, like on the phones. They are pretty limited on our tab s6. And rotation of the volume buttons with the screen orientation like in my old tab s. There are a lot of details that are not very nice on our flagship
m.
Don't forget about the boot animation that is shown in portrait mode.
A lot of little annoyances unfortunately.
Yep, exactly! Not really made with love the software

I'll add to that:
- using the keyboard to launch apps is a mess. Needs revamping.
- Mousing is bad. Outside of DeX [middle-click] = [home] and [right-click] = [back]. This is so stupid that even if by some stroke of awful luck someone actually got used to it Samsung turns it off in DeX because of course [right-click] should trigger context menus!! But, DeX handles [middle-click] in a way that prevents apps from understanding it. So it doesn't send [home] anymore but it just doesn't work either. If you wonder what apps use middle-click try a mouse with Chrome on any Pixel device. It works like it does on PC. Let's mention scrolling. The mouse wheel can only scroll in-focus apps in DeX. Like old school Windows. The OEM trackpad can scroll background apps because someone at Samsung apparently tested that. Free windows in AOSP Android since v8 scroll background windows fine, just DeX has this problem.
- Keyboard nav isn't great and I don't mean the OEM hardware. I have so far noticed the [ESC] key appears to send [back] instead of [ESC] and that's a no-go for some work loads and just breaks the paradigm for no good reason.
-My 10+ in screen really needs the notification shade centered and consuming 6 in of width?
I am used to a Pixel C and before that a Nexus 10. Neither had DeX mode and neither had an S-Pen but both tablets knew how a friggin mouse works. Both tablets knew what the [ESC] key is for. Both could be made to feel like large screen landscape tablets. Both had serious flaws but I didn't think input devices would be a problem for the Tab S6. Realize the OEM trackpad doesn't allow right clicking outside of DeX because it would send the [back] command every time someone tapped with 2 fingers! This thing feels more cobbled together every time I use it (and I am a long time Android tablet user haha).
I'm annoyed and it's because I want this to be better and it feels close like it was rushed or something and could have been better.
I really dont like the 7 Pros rounded corners and am wiling to reduce the screen height so that I can add a custom (drastically reduced) rounded corners, but OxygenOS doesnt give me the option to disable the stock rounded overlay. I tried looking in system apps, theres literally nothing to disable (root or otherwise)
Is there a custom rom or something I can do to completely disable Oxygens rounded corner overlay?? WIlling to do anything!!

If you are talking about physical corners, it's absolutely not possible due to the fact that the screen itself is already rounded. If you are talking about software, well.. It's not possible. Every window and animation in the system is meant to catch the rounded corners, so it's a design choice. However, I might have a solution for you. You can download an app called "round screen corners and hide notch", in which you will be able to reduce the notch space and create fake squarish borders, but you'll have to sacrifice the status bar area. I don't know if that could help you, I tried to understand as much as I could.

I am referring to the software added overlay that is baked into OxygenOS (that essentially works the same as that rounded-corner app you're referring to). I cannot rely on the rounded-corners app for two reasons: 1. While it does add corners below the status bar and the navbar, it does not force those areas to be black so it looks ridiculous most of the time. 2. It is not consistent 100% of the time, and 3. Fullscreen games follow fullscreen rules and therefore get shoved to the corners
My solution is to shorten the software display height from 1440x2976 (or whatever default is) to 1440x2940, to bring the top screen down just a bit, as well as the bottom bit up. Problem is, when I do that, the actual rounded corners overlay follows with it, which looks just as hideous.
Funnily enough, if I screenshot the screen, it does not show the overlay.
If I can disable / remove the software overlay, I can use the same round-corners app to shove the overlay in each corner so that even fullscreen apps look perfect. Something I will gladly sacrifice a little bit of bezel for.
The root cause is that the 7 Pros corners are pathetically rounded. If only they were as subtle as the Note 9, or heck, even the Note 10!

I don't think there is a way to remove them in oxygen OS, or maybe just by messing around with the adb overscan command, but it would not work as you'd like. What I know is that some custom roms doesn't have this overlay, due to the fact that it comes from Oxygen OS.
So there it is, if you really want to get rid of this, you can just install a custom rom (I think Pixel Experience doesn't have this overlay, also Havoc OS doesn't have it, except for the last build where they added it). I did notice the weird and horrendous looking corners when there is no overlay, it looks like they didn't care about this since they were able to fix it with the software.
Also, why would you want the overlay to be working even in full-screen apps while it's already fully functional ? For me, when I launch games and other full-screen apps, it does work perfectly, is it not the case for you?

I tried overscan, it messes with the navbar so that method doesn't work entirely. There is another thread I read on the Pixel forum that I will absolutely be trying this.. Its another ADB command where you can edit the radius its self as a value (36 is tock Pixel, 0 is disabled, 16 is what Samsung uses), and it seems most people got it to work on 9, but not on 10 and that's ok because I prefer 9 anyway (well I prefer 8 actually lol)

Here are my use-cases that make the stock body shaped corner radius don't work and what other obstacles get in my way:
- Stock radius clips most game settings / corner elements and it just looks absolutely awful
- Rounded-corners app can't get rid of this because the radius would be behind it, until I set the radius even bigger, which is pointless
- When I reduce the display height, Android follows it as a universal display so everything is 100% compatible since the phone thinks the screen is physically smaller
- If I can remove the stock software radius, leaving it squared off will actually make it look worse because I set the display height to include the slight area where my smaller corner radius would be otherwise cut off from the sharp corner of the screen (#4 below)
Heres an illustration of what I mean (very bad photoshop lol):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can probably tell, the stock radius is just insane, preferred radius is great, but squared corner would mean I would either have to further reduce the display height and thicken the bezel, or add a very slight radius

I don't think you understand what the display height and software overlay means.
The physical OnePlus 7 Pro has extremely rounded bezels that cut off elements in full screen games because they are shoved behind what would have regularly been a squared corner. I cannot fix this because there is no physical screen there, so to resolve it I can move the screen upward and remove the software overlay entirely, but I cannot find a way to do that just yet (will experiment when I get home). The issue with simply adjusting the display height doesn't work because the software overlay corner radius comes with it, so the elements remain hidden under the overlay where what would've been physical screen limitations

Ohhhh okay I just got it, so it would be like hiding a notch to make the bezels more squarish, just like on the screenshot, so that elements would not get cut in the extremely rounded corners... But it would also do this for the bottom of the display.. Well that means you would have to find an app / adb command that could modify this, but I really don't know if it's possible..
I'm still a little confused about what the problem exactly is.. the missing screen space due to the rounded corners? Don't quite understand how moving the picture would solve that problem.
And as far as UI and corners , where exactly would they be? I do use substratum and pitch black so i may not even see it but the only ones who can spot are at the bottom of the notifications and that can he changed via substratum and think
Edit: seems like you no longer can on android 10. But might just be that specific theme

My goal is simply aesthetic. I want to reduce the display height and reduce the stock rounded corners, it will look better. I drew pictures that more than illustrates what I am doing
Well outside of the options that you already explored the only thing i can think of is xposed.
I'm not up to date on that one but substratum coupled with something like gravitybox always seemed to be the best option for asthetic customization.
The former helps me personally to hardly notice what your're describing with actual black hiding most if not all corners in the first place and latter might help in adjusting some of that.
I suppose similar modules and / or custom roms that incorporate such features might help. You probably have to dig a little deeper though

Even for those who use the same mother tongue language as yours, it is still difficult to explain the problem when they don't think. How the f* is that when we ask about the software issue then all the replies are "it is the hardware, it is the screen corner, you can't do anything >< ". Speechless!

Yea its been pretty frustrating trying to understand what is causing this overlay and how to resolve it. The issue is that it isn't a simple app that handles it, but rather a line of code that runs natively in OOS or other roms, so if you try to ADB change it, it doesn't work or stick because the ROM overrides it. Super annoying
I've been having difficulty flashing different roms to check which rom doesn't have the added overlay, or at least the settings to reduce / disable it. Havoc 3.1 has the setting, but it doesn't work. Havoc 2.9 (android pie) doesn't have the option but I want to update to 10. Bliss apparently has the option but I am unable to boot it successfully. I think it may have been because I was booting from. a base of 10.0.3 and not the latest 10.3.0. I will try that once I'm off from work
So I realized that on Android 10, Substratum CAN momentarily alter the rounded corners, which means there is hope that its possible to remove entirely. Devs im talking with are saying its a custom shape and not possible, but I am seeing it with my eyes in real time, so it absolutely should be. I truly wish I had the skills to understand. It has something to do with the framework file under system/products/overlay, but I have no clue where to look, how to edit it, and how to apply it.
Have you taken a look at the Out of Oxygen substratum theme in the themes section for our device? It has options for the corner radius which may help.

yep, i could also see the full screen when i changed from vertical to landscape youtube view. it was just a second moment, caused by lag i think, and it clearly showed that the rounded corner was just an overlay.

Some games doesn't use the area around front camera if it's implemented that way, so that you'll have a black section for the notification bar. You'll easily get burn-ins by playing games with that black bar. This solves the issue, and it's the only one working for android12 so far.
Can you guys please send photos of the phone (not screenshots) how it looks like without and with the module? And does this module support only OnePlus?

Black bar is inactive (turned off) pixels in amoled display.
So there will be no burn-in, as that part of display is not active.

Yes, but the other parts of the screen are actively aging. The bar area will have different color compared to other parts of the screen after extended period of use, aka reverse burn-in.

as during gameplay, images are constantly changing on display probability of burn-in is minimal.
It can happen only on static images like HUD area in games.
Though for it to happen on modern amoled panels, one should play games for 12h a day or more, but in this case phone battery will fail sooner, than display burn-in appears.

Batteries are cheap and easy to replace, but screens are not. I go through 2-3 batteries in a phone's lifetime. Also I replaced my previous OnePlus 6 with OP9R because of this exact problem.It's more of amoled aging than burn in, but burn in is a convenient term.

I see your point of view. Use case you desribed seems to be more suitable for gamers or very active users.
For ordinary casual users burn-in (aging) is not an actual issue during phones lifetime and when battery dies in mid range phone, it's usually seems viable to change phone to another one, cause non original batteries seem to last not as good as that came from the factory and the whole performance of the phone is not good.

Works well on my Moto One Power (fresh LineageOS 20 android 13) and Redmi 9(custom OxygenOS android 11),so not only 1+.
The only thing module is packed as folder in zip,needs to be extracted and packed again(i attached result).
What it does - cant be seen in screenshots,only with photo. Analog is g-visual mod,but it wasn't working for me.
Works well on Mi 11 lite 5G NE, broken on realme GT Neo 3T
HEYYYYY bump
This works well on OP9 with Lineage 20 (A13).
Thank you!
EDIT: Just an FYI you can use the lsposed module "AOSP mods" to add a gap between the side and status bar icons! VERY useful with this!
Hi,
I got a used OnePlus 7T Pro, because it was a better choice for me in many ways than new phones. I just absolutely love the screen.
But I was trying to find out, how to make actually everything fully use it. Afaik there used to be a way on A10, that is no longer working.
So I searched the whole week how to hide the status bar, and in the end decided to even root and try various Magisk modules, or EdXposed/GravityBox stuff, pretty much anything I could find because many people reported "status bar height = 0" to do the job. But it really doesn't.
It allows to hide the *contents* of the status bar, BUT the space there is still covered by an ugly bar that apps (browser, whatsapp, anything) aren't drawing over. And that looks even worse than having clock+battery present honestly :'(
So I am desperately trying to search for ANY way to accomplish a fullscreen experience. Does anyone know of one?
I actually like the stock OxygenOS personally. But at this point, I'm willing to hop on any good quality custom rom that would allow it.
(I am even considering somehow downgrading to A10, but would absolutely prefer not to).
I can't believe people here aren't all over this / that everyone with 7/7T pro didn't already do everything in their power to accomplish a full system-wide fullscreen experience. So, desperately pleading anyone, is there some Rom/Mod/Module allowing this?
Thanks
Oh, one additional thing: I noticed, that when changing the option under
Settings -> Developer -> Display Cutout
The status bar (and the reserved space around it) actually does change and move up/down for various options. The "Waterfall Cutout" makes the bar significantly narrower, and apps are properly respecting it (= being drawn a bit higher) too. Which gives me some hope.
There is an installable Magisk module called "None Display Cutout" from here:
[Remove display cutout][ROOT] Full screen 21:9 for apps in landscape, incl Netflix.
Requirements: Magisk root. Download and install the "None Display Cutout" in the Magisk managers module repo. It will add an option in developer settings display cutout options, "No Display Cutout". Choose it, and apps, including netflix, will...

And "No Nonsense Notch Overlay" from here

These just don't try to accomplish complete status bar disappearance, but they touch on the "Display Cutout" settings in some way. So they *could... maybe* be modified to make the status bar completely disappear? Since they alter the overall display bounds even on Android 11 successfully.
Honestly, those 2 are the most promising directions I stumbled upon, but I personally don't know how to modify them to do what I want (= shrink the whole status bar area to 0 pretty much)
/// I reposted this to OnePlus 7T Pro (I am sorry I originally did not notice 7Pro and 7TPro have different categories), here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ay-to-hide-free-the-status-bar-space.4395539/
But if allowed, I'd rather have the thread left visible even here in "7 Pro", since I believe the solution would work on both and usually the semi-solutions I stumbled upon were from "7 Pro" devices too.
