I got it too!!!!! I'm on AT&T. Woo Hoo!!!

Whoo Hoo , got it mine too !

Seems to be working great.
BTW, is there any way to swap the recent and back button?
adb shell
settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,recent;home;back,space"
This doesn't work any more :\

Just flashed the fastboot image, for some reason the only options under Choose screen lock are "none" and "Swipe". There's no option for PIN or pattern anymore which leaves me unable to add a fingerprint to unlock with either

How's the battery life in Android Q?
Is it the same with P or worse?

I assume now that it is official, that SafetyNet is passing ok so things such as GooglePay aren't a problem? I had avoided trying a beta because of the lack of SafetyNet failures on them from what I had read, and I tend to use GooglePay and a few games that need SafetyNet.

Can't really answer that definitively, it came out a few hours ago. I don't consider using Beta releases as proof, and the thing about battery life, is that it is so dependent on what you do with your phone, that each one of us will get different results.

I'm surprised that the update is only 16 MB if you're on the final beta, but I think I remember the update from Android 8 beta to 9 being similarly tiny. That's a pretty good indicator that barely anything changed from beta 6.

See the August Q Beta thread, he fixed by going back to Pie then OTA
https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/how-to/august-q-beta-t3955477/post80048214

cant change calendar sound, media storage crashed when try changing calendar notification sound

WIFI and Bluetooth broken after update
WIFI and bluetooth will not stay on. Factory reset doesn't help. Neither does going back to Android 9 and doing another OTA to 10. Staying on 9 until further notice!

3. No Face unlock
4. Media crash on calendar sound
5. can`t use gesture navigation with 3rd party launcher

Same for me
(can change sound in aCalendar+ app)

Updated OTA last night. So far so good, not noticed any specific issues yet.
Kudos to essential for keeping so on top of these updates. If they do ever release another one I will buy one so long as they strengthen the phone/data signal a bit. That is pretty much my only disappointment with this one, but still it was worth every cent of the 200 bucks or so I paid for it.

Flashed ota through twrp and rooted using Magisk's canary build.
No issues thus far. I can change the stock calendar notification without media crash, but I'm only using the stock sounds. Are those experiencing issues using custom sounds?

Still can`t use gesture navigation with 3rd party launcher?

[APP] Oxygen Slider

Hi,
This Xposed module allows you to customize the alert slider's behavior in OxygenOS.
A while back, OnePlus decided to merge the framework of OxygenOS with HydrogenOS which rendered my similar application (Notification Slider) useless, at least in my opinion. The drastic internal changes made it impossible to reach the same level of customizability as before, and since the source code wasn't updated properly to reflect those changes, I sadly gave up on OxygenOS support.
Now, almost a year later I've returned to OnePlus and decided to give it another shot.
After a month of fun, but challenging work, this is the result.
Feel free to send me feature requests, or bug reports, via the Contact feature in the Info section of the app.
Click here to head over to the app's Google Play Store page
Module has not been succesfully loaded on 8.0 OP5.

Haven't tested it on Oreo yet, will do so as soon as the stable OOS update arrives on the 5T. Anyway, have you made sure that the Xposed status is active, and that the module has been properly activated (and rebooted once)?
Not working on OP5T OOS 4.7.6 stock android 7.1.1. Module has been successfully loaded, but moving the slider doesn't do anything. Absolutely nothing happens, not even the original actions work.
Attached logs from xposed installer.

The same thing happens here too. Nothing happens when I move the slider after installing the Module and rebooting. I'm using a OP3 and the latest Open Beta still based on Nougat. I know Open Betas are not supported but I thought I'd try anyway.
Haven't tried this yet on Oreo Beta 2 but will certainly be keeping an eye on this, thank you!
Hello sevelith,
Really appreciate the effort your taking.
I have installed the app and activated the module in xposed but unfortunately nothing happens even after rebooting to apply changes.Even the default slider actions don't work.

Update : Now it's working!thanks my friend .
But just a small question/request
If we set to flashlight(on) on top slider position and return to middle position it doesn't turn off(unless selecting flashlight to off for middle position,is there something u can do about it to turn off automatically when changing the slider position ?
And thank you for your work have been waiting for this a long time.
Id like to donate to you for this wonderful work,How can I donate to you my friend ?

As for your request, I guess I could implement an option that allows you to select which profiles that should automatically be disabled on slider changes.

I tried the fix apk on 5t with Orea Beta 2
Everything works so good (just if you remeber to reboot after every change of slider function.
Thanks a lot

Can you please tell me the steps of how you got this too work? I can't seem to find Xposed for 5t and the fix apk won't install :crying:
I am on Beta 2, rooted with Magiks.
When I get my 5T shall be coming back to this thread
Works on rooted OP5T with Oreo open beta 2.
Thank you very much. A long awaited feature
Worked on my 3T running Open Beta 15, but caused instability. I couldn't open Xposed or use Nova Launcher, so I had to delete the app.
I'm planning on updating to Oreo soon, so maybe that'll solve my stability issue. Also, I second an option to disable flashlight after changing slider position. The off screen gesture is still faster, but only if you draw it accurately. That's why I wanted to use the slider. If it doesn't turn off when you change positions, then you have to use the gesture or tap the quick setting anyway which defeats the purpose.
Other than that, it's great. This is one thing I've needed most on my 3T and not had.
Hey @Seveilith
So tried you app on OnePlus 5 running Open Beta 4 android 8.0.
App was working fine but there was this one problem:
1. On Silent(vibrate), the phone was completely on silent. Tried calling from other phone no vibration.
2. On Silent, the phone vibrated when a call came.
Have not tested this for notifications, but this happens during a call.
Thanks a lot @Seveilith for the come back of this once beloved app!
I'd like to know if there is a profile where sound can be customized (using tasker or another automation app or even the volume buttons) from vibrate to ring. Or is the OOS limitation on sound (forced on or off dependig on the chosen profile) can't be overcome?

I've noticed the issue on OxygenOS v4.7.6 as well, at least when transitioning from Silent to Silent (Vibrate). I'm currently working on a fix, and hopefully it will work on the Oreo builds as well (haven't taken a look at the Oreo source code yet).

Unfortunately, this is the result of the volume restrictions of OxygenOS. I havent decided yet, but I plan on implementing a new feature, or a standalone Xposed module, that unlocks these restrictions (e.g. by making it possible to change the ringer mode using the volume buttons).

Update Germany CLT-L29 8.1.0.120(C432)

Hi guys,
Just received via OTA last night.
Anyone now more about this update?
The first thing i recognized is the new animation, if you leave an app and go back to home screen...
Just testing if updating of widgets is still an issue.
Some camera fixes I think.
so far...
Benny
my phone received the update few minutes ago
Received this update today as well. T-Mobile in the US.
https://imgur.com/a/Yr0zOSi
Slow-mow in 8x and 32x got rid of these snowflake-ish pixels. At least on mine with that firmware-update. Hussa! :good:
I also just received this in Ireland, noticed the new app closing animation but still haven't brought back the ability to interact with notifications on the lock screen. I'm running. 120(C432) also.
I did notice my handset was randomly rebooting on .107 so hopefully this is fixed as well.
Will update if I notice any other changes since the update.
I've just spotted this new eye icon in the top left hand corner of the camera app that seems to launch a new bar code/item/QR scanner feature powered by Amazon Assistant. Almost like Google Lens but nowhere near as good from what I can tell.
It appears to be the same thing that you can launch from swiping down from the middle of the home screen to launch the "app search" feature and the eye icon is up in the right hand corner of the screen. Really not sure how much if ever I'll use this to be honest!
Same here. Poland

A review of the Huawei Honor 10 on androipit.com mentions a view updates in Emui 8.1, apparently "HiTouch":
"(...) can be visually adapted in many ways and offers some exciting additional functions. On of them is called HiTouch and it’s an intelligent aid to identify products with the camera and to buy them directly. To use HiTouch, you have to activate the corresponding option in the settings in the Smart assistance area. The first time you use it, you’ll need to install the Amazon Assistant app."

Hi there
After updating to the 120 firmware, I noticed that Huawei finally dropped its own Emui smart unlock feature (unlock only if connected to a Bluetooth device) in favor of Googles native solution (unlock with Bluetooth, secure place, wearing detection). But after a short while, the smart unlock menu cannot be opened. If I chose it in settings, the phone asks for my pin, after entering I get a blank screen. Clearing dalvik cache, reboot etc didn't help. Restore to factory settings solved the problem for 1 day, but after that I suddenly got the same blank screen. Anyone any idea?
Edit: found a solution to the problem. Just disable secure unlock as a trusted agent under security settings, then clear app cache, enable it again as trusted agent and reboot. Working fine after that.
Anyone found a way to disable/change the new app-close animation in the settings?

Android Q beta 5 is out !

Anyone install it yet ? Experiences ?
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk
Installing now
Seems fine on my PH1 but then I never seem to have all the weird issues others have. Stock unrooted.
Maybe a placebo, but I've noticed a marked improvement in touch and scrolling.
Edit: I've had it running the latest beta for. 12 hours, and have noticed the standby battery drain is much improved for me compared to previous betas.
Also feel faster so far. When I was travelling with maps and play music on it got painfully slow, hanging all the time. Now it looks better. But banking app still not working :/ not sure how I'm going to get it working.

My beta 4 has been working flawlessly besides the screen studder when I swipe home from within EVERY app. Getting great battery life, 6.5hr+ on screen time with every charge, with 4hrs+ of them being streaming videos. If I don't watch videos, this phone will easily last at least 3.5-4 days. All this at 60% screen brightness.
With that said, I'd hate to install beta 5 and have new issues and worse battery life.
Beta 5 has been good for me. Good battery life about as good as beta 4 was but the only issue I have is even after going full gesture navigation. It seems to go back to 3 button mode randomly and I'll have to change it back. Also I don't see the option to enable the side peek feature that was supposed to be a part of beta 5

Are you using the stock launcher? Supposedly Google added a "feature" that blocks you from using full gestures if you're using a 3rd party launcher on beta 5.

Hmm na I'm currently using rootless pixel launcher because in beta 4 on quickstep with dark theme the app drawer apps had white letters on white background unless you changed your wallpaper to a dark one.
So your saying if I use the quickstep I can also enable the peek feature?

I'm not sure about the peek feature (to be honest I don't know what that is), what I was getting at was about the navigation reverting to 3 button. If you're using something other than stock launcher, it's supposed to force you to use the 3 button navigation according to Google, so that might be why you're seeing that behavior.
Also, beta 5 fixed the dark theme issue.
Edit: Peek is working.

I didn't have to enable anything, it was just working. I had full gestures as my default when I flashed, and I didn't change anything after that. Looked in settings as well, no option there. I'm assuming it should be on by default.
If you're having trouble with it, disable grip rejection, that could be conflicting with it.

Horizont Light not getting to work

I am coming from a Xiaomi Mi 9 and actually I am missing the notification LED!
Not sure whether it is a general issue of Android 10 on our device or based on a lack of knowlege on my end.
I think I set up everything propperly, but neither Horizont Light nor any 3rd party app is indicating anything.
I tried to solve this issue by reading some threads on XDA already -therefore I am quite convieneced that settings are ok- but still notification light is broken.
Maybe there is any Custom-ROM with a nice solution...
pls. advice!

Jep...fresh out of the box -not rooted or unlocked yet!- Android 10 got installed.
Sure , well aware that it is beta, therefore I am asking whether it is a general issue at present, fingers crossed, that it will be solved latest with the stable version.
I did a quick and dirty install of Android 10.0.2 over 9.5.13 -and- I go no Horizon Lights to the notification.
Cleared the data and cache of the Ambient Display and no change.
I miss the notification blick i had on my Pixel.
.
Does NotifyBuddy work ? - The OP has not been updated in 6 months, which leads to to think that it does not work on Android 10.
Does a Play Store app work ? I saw one on the store and then a user said it did not for OnePlus...

I could be wrong, but I thought the horizontal lights were only working for sms messages. I stand to be corrected on thay.

Did you fix this issue/find yourself a solution? I know it has been a while since you posted this but the Renovate Ice rom has settings for the ambient display horizontal lighting and you can change the colors as well has how many times it pulse's.
I'm looking for a solution as well. I'm stock rooted on 10.0.2, and I've yet to see that light come on. And if it does, since it only comes on briefly, I don't see it. I may have to try that Renovate Ice ROM to get multiple notifications.

ON 10.0.2 the horizontal notifications were not working for my either, but they worked with Renovate.
I installed pulse beat and put the right settings, i think, but it only pulses once and quickly.
What should the settings be, for those that got it to work?

Seems like a pretty decent alternative. Lots of options.
Only thing I've noticed is some occasional wonkiness in unlocking. It's random so I can't pin down what is really going on. Doesn't seem to be much of a battery hit

Do notifications work with screen off or not?

Hi all. In this Video the reviewer states that he isn't getting any notifications with the screen off. Also it is a problem for one of our members. Is anyone else having these hassles? Do you get incoming text, email AUDIO notifications without waking the phone?
Hi
I have no issue with notification at all..
Even when screen is off ..
U do have to active notification from each app setting and alow all permissins...
Also keep in maind to keep app running remove battery restriction from app setting also..
All will work normal
Working for me but I did need to grant WhatsApp and Trurcaller lots of permissions.
I even got True Edge installed for a visual way to get notified and that works brilliantly with the device asleep with screen off.
I was a bit surprised at the extra level of permissions needed. It's all gravy now, but I could see why a reviewer or somebody unaware would get caught out
But yes, I am getting notifications with the screen off in sound and visually, without having to wake the phone.
Indeed at first I wasn't getting any notifications but then I discovered you need to go into the app info and give permission for notifications and turn off battery saver.. now it works perfect and only for the apps I want
The video the OP posted is exactly whats happening to me. I have all the settings as described. Battery saver turned off and even when into each apps settings and allowed ALL permissions just to see if it would work. As the video says, notifications come, but you have to wake the device to see them, there is no sound or anything on screen until the device is woke. Exactly as the video describes. I do hope its fixed soon, I am back to using my Note 5 whilst my beautiful 10 Ultra sits in its box.

Have you undone your earlier modifications to the phone (copying files from phone to phone etc)?
You have two problems and the one to ignore for now is louder notifications. It's notifications at all.
It isn't something to fix from Xiaomi's view and it is always worth learning the software. I don't like it myself... It can be cloying etc.
But the default behaviour is to opt in to notifications. It's working as intended. That said look where we are, it's just your problems are a special case. No biggie, let's fix this!
You have an outstanding issue clouding this where you are trying to use unexplained files on the device (like seriously what format are they? Does it work in Music or anything? Have you tried removing them?)
Took a while but I get all my notifications now when screen is off, see 2vattached screen shots
Thanks all for answering my question! I think this is my last question before buying from Liaow.com, if the syncing isn't a constant problem. Does anyone have a major syncing problem as explained in this review? Once or twice a day I can deal with. I check the calendar throughout the day like most people. However if I get busy and forget, missing calendar events/alarms wouldn't work for me. I'd be forced to use my work iPhone<shudder> for calendar events lol.

How did you get the icons to show on the lock screen?
Mine doesn't. Quite annoying.
Also sometimes the lockscreen doesn't show me notifications even tho they are there.. :s
I have no issues with icons displaying while locked. You do need to enable them and ensure they start automatically and power control is turned off for the app. It has been much easier in the EU ROM for some reason.
Solution!
Here is the thing that helped me with the same notification issue! Just google "xiaomi mi 10 ultra notifications" and in the top 5 links you'll probably find an article from: theunpopulartraveller. It explains the settings, and they need to be accessed by pressing and holding the app icon ^ app info.
Don't give up, try and you'll get the sounds from needed apps back. And ye, actually now I find the way Xiaomi did it much more convenient: I just turned on notifications for 2 apps, and all the rest are silent, while previously I had to turn off all the rest of the apps (much more than 2, definitely) not to get disturbed by all the bull****.
EU Rom doesn't have the "importance" option at 30/31
Well after trying to update to 12.1.1 and seeing what a buggy heap of junk it was, I factory reset, installed 12.0.15, and formatted data. But now notifications don't work when the screen is off whatsoever, absolutely no notifications. Beautiful. I'm so sick of the software issues with this phone, I'm definitely never buying another Xiaomi phone at this point.

Disable adaptive notifications from setting. I dont know what google thinking when creating such feature.
it basically interrupt the whole notification process. Using so called Ai to decide, when to give you notifications or when not to. But most of the time it pick wrong decision and delay our notification altogether.
This is android feature since Q thus also causing problem on Pixel phone. On xiaomi seems like it suddenly got worse on Android 11

How did u manage to roll back to 12.0.15?
Get over to the EU ROM version. Lock screen notifications work fine.
Have you checked each notification that it has no battery optimisation set, also, check in notifications that each one has access to the lock screen. Since A11, notifications have been a pain but for some reason they do work much better on the EU ROM.

There are issues for Gpay and some banking / local safetynet apps for EU ROM which i do not wish to live with.
Somehow the props file in the eu rom causes those issues.
i am probably going to rollback to 12.0.15... now is the excruciating 160 hours wait for unlock.
You obviously don't follow the EU forums. GPay works, safeynet works and my UK bank works. But you also get everything plus more than the Chinese stock and all updates are based on both weekly and stable stock ROMs respectively.

i don't follow it to the tee, but i've seen some reports of some users not able to use gpay out of the stable roms.
that's why.. too much trouble.. i'll see what i can do when the unlock timer is up..
