So, I know this title seems odd; I changed the resolution of my Phone with ADB to maybe get a 18:9 screen ratio but with more sharp edges since I really dislike how the 7 Pro has such round edges that just look terrible in some app's overlay, bc they weren't built for that in mind.
however, I found out that that won't help me with my problem. I thought the Screen Corners were just a hardware thing, but it turns out its actually on software as well. Does someone know how to potentially remove these? (it will probably not have these software added notches in custom roms, but i'd prefer using the default/openbeta rom from oneplus directly)
try this. the instructions are for a google pixel 3, but hopefully those settings exist for the oneplus.

thanks for the answer, it doesnt work like that for the oneplus 7 pro, but i will look into stuff like this and reply again if i found out how to do it <3
Not sure what you expect to accomplish. The rounded corners are the physical edge of the display. You can see this in TWRP or any non-black boot animation.

as i said i wanted to reduce the vertical size of the screen and disable the software rounded corners. i only found out that there are software edges BECAUSE i changed the resolution of the display via adb.
Hello, are you talking about this broken corners thing ? Because whenever I install a custom ROM, the corners are very pixelated, which doesn't happen in Oxygen OS. Also, still concerning OOS, I tried to modify the overlay with the adb overscan thing and I was able see the rounded overlay moving, so it's definitely related to the software.
Also I managed to get a picture of the same problem on a OnePlus 6T. You can clearly see the pixelated corners.
I truly hate how there isnt an option for this. You can use "adb settings put secure sysui_rounded_size X" on Android 9, but not on Android 10. There doesnt seem to be a way to do it. I've used a Substratum theme (Curve) to temporarily (for a second) disable the rounded corner overlay but it doesnt stick, and there is nothing I've found over 3 days of intense searching for hours and hours. Custom ROMS have the option (Havoc 3.1 has a rounded-corner radius slider setting but changing it has no effect, even after rebooting).
Please tell me there is something someone has come up with. Its so annoying to have an ugly af rounded corner. I am using adb to reduce the display height to create a "software bezel" and want to reduce the rounded corner radius so it looks much less rounded. I can do it on Android 9, but the nav bar doesnt work well on it, and much prefer Android 10.
To ellaborate, the "adb settings put secure sysui_rounded_size X" setting DOES work properly on OOS, but not on anything beyond Android 9. You likely wont notice on Android 9 unless you set the display height smaller than what stock is. "adb shell wm size 1440x2990" is the best size I can say that fits well with sysui_rounded_size of 25 or 30.
Is there an update to this?
have anyone solved the prob?
I know you said something about wanting to be on OOS, but I've found a setting on Resurrection Remix that allows you to change the size of the rounded corners.
I got back on this topic today.
I got it working by using apktool on the ODMOverlay-OPSystemUI.apk and removing the pathData from rounded_bottom.xml and rounded_top.xml. then used rootbrowser to overwrite the original. I assume this could be done using a magisk module, but i couldn't get it to work properly.

That app seems specific to OnePlus devices. Have you had any success with making a Magisk module yet? And, could that work on other devices also? My device is Poco X3 Karna running AICP (Android 12.1) rom. I am very much interested in this; I prefer 'rectangular' screenshots. Please reply. Thanks.

I don't need the edge functionality of the phone and would just like to use that portion for whatever is on my screen instead. I experimented with Nova launcher and it removed the edge panel...but only part of it. The edge panel is gone but I still see a thin black bar all the way at the right side of the screen remaining. I want to completely use the entire screen of the phone. So is there a way to remove the black bar and maximize my screen real estate? I feel like maybe a custom rom would do that but I don't wanna go that far unless I know it achieves that.
I kinda had the same problem as you . The edge wasn't very important to me . Flashing a custom rom did help me in achieving that . The first rom I tried was RR by micky I it comes with a omni switch so ya can turn on/off the edge functionality . But if ya prefer to be on MM I would recommend noble rom it comes with an edge panel but is invisible for most of the time ; . I personally use n915f with noble rom and Micky's kernel . Hope this helps

Do you get the ENTIRE screen or is there a remaining thin black bar? Nova Launcher got rid of the edge panel and gave me more screen but I'm still left with a thin black bar on the side so I'm not utilizing my entire screen as I wanted. Can you show me a picture of your phone with either of those roms? I don't want to go through the headache of installing it only to find out its like Nova in the end result of a thin black bar leftover. And will those roms work on an at&t Note edge? Thanks for your response
Due to some unknown reasons am unable to upload a screenshot "network error". Could ya please check noble rom thread ( OP : Albe96) under the development section . He has uploaded some screenshots which will give you a better idea . The title says it works for only Fy&G versions but with the right kernel it worked fine for me on 915f . Am not sure if it works on at&t version of edge . Maybe you can post a question under the rom thread sure somebody will help you
Update : I don't have any black bars.

I meant pictures like an actual pic, not screenshot because I wanted to see if the black bar was visible. But its okay, I appreciate the info you provided. I'll take a look at that now but might not risk it because it doesn't sound like its compatible with the at&t Note Edge.

Do you know what the screen size is without the edge panel? Like say I'm using a web browser or some other app and the edge panel is gone now, how big is the display with the edge panel out? 5.4, 5.5 or 5.6 inches? And how big is everything total with the edge panel included?
dont think its possible ,its two separated screens ?
No it's definitely one screen.
I'm in the same situation. Couldn't get the Noble ROM working on my F device unfortunately. I uninstalled the Cocktailbar service to get rid of the edge panel (sped up the device quite a bit BTW). Nova wallpaper covers the entire screen now but the display of the icons gets trimmed off when scrolling.
A Note compatible application will show under an app that gets clipped short and if you window an application, you can drag it to cover the curved portion of the screen so on a system level, it is possible to utilise the entire screen.
There must be a configuration setting somewhere that defines the application rendering area. As a relative Android newbie, does anyone know where such a setting may be found?

Thanks for your response to my post. Even after all this time I'm still trying to get this phone to utilize the entire screen. I'm not sure how you uninstalled Cocktailbar service because I didn't get an option to do so. I have Nova launcher which did get rid of the edge panel but there's still a thin black line on the side of the phone. When the edge panel exists, it utilizes the entire screen but when I remove it by using Nova launcher, I lose the edge panel but I still can't maximize my screen usage because of the thin black bar left on the side. This is so frustrating.
if you dial the service mode , you can test both screen separately , main panel and edge panel , not sure if it one screen at all , thats why note edge is the only curve screen that works ?
I used Uninstall which you can get from the play store. Requires root access, really speeds up the phone when you remove it.
I found a hacky way to get the screen to extend nearly all the way to the edge by dropping the DPI of android system process to 50 and then overriding the DPI of everything else to the normal 640. System notifications are stupidly small and unusable though as well as any edge apps like the camera, see attached. Best option is to bite the bullet and get a Note 4 ROM working I think.
Weird I find the edge screen much more useful without the specialist software. Fast scrolling with a full screen is lovely on the edge bit.
Download and flash a AOSP Rom or Note 4 Rom and then I'd recommend Total Launcher
I'm using MRU Widget as my homescreens softkey row.

Yeah, eventually my tinkering made my phone go bang so I had to reflash. Bit of a pain but can't recommend it high enough. I went for the ROM below, a Note 7 adaption and it's awesome. Have to tinker a bit to get finger prints working but it's straight forward enough.

Wow, that's interesting. It would be cool to turn that off.
I noticed there is a few interesting apps on the phone in Titanium Backup:
- Corner Cutout 1.0
- Double Cutout 1.0
- Tall Cutout 1.0
I tried disabling them, but it didn't seem to make any difference that I could tell.

They're not fake really, as much as just different. The screen itself has rounded corners, and the OS just makes them slightly more rounded, probably so they can be anti-aliased and look smoother. If you watch carefully during boot, you can see when they go from hardware-rounded to software-rounded.

Gotcha. They do look better anti-aliased, though, IMO. When I first powered mine on, I was watching it boot and thought, "Woo, those corners don't look very smoo...oh, okay they're smoothing them in software."
Well if you figure it out I'd love to know. I personally feel the normal unaltered cornes would look better. Doesn't really bother me alot, but would still like to try it out at least.

Those apps are for adding a fake notch, even for the Pixel 3. You can see notch settings in the developer options.
Hi,
Still no way to modify the corner shape?
I'd love to get the shape we see on the preboot screen, can't stand those over rounded corners...
On a rooted phone there is obviously a way to change it.
Any idea?
Thanks!
One of the things I noticed is that using the command "wm overscan" with proper values will push the rounded corner overlay off the screen showing the true corners. This has some obvious drawbacks, but interesting to see it working with the phone booted up fully.

They are the display cutouts made for notch displays.. try turning one on in developer options.
The Navigation Gestures app gets you halfway there. Hiding the nav bar and using the recommended settings for a hidden pill (so you're just swiping at the bottom edge of the screen) uses all the pixels on the Pixel 3, which reduces the radius of the corners. I'm asking in their Telegram channel whether there's possibly a way to do this on the top of the screen, hoping one of the devs would know.

See my post a few above yours. They are using the overscan options, which has its drawbacks. Some things won't display properly, and if you enable it for the top of the phone you will never see your statusbar.
Found this on reddit (thanks to "jyapayne"):
adb shell settings put secure sysui_rounded_size 1
adb shell settings put secure sysui_rounded_content_padding 5
First line is the corner "roundness" and second line ist the padding of the status-bar elements to the edge.
Works fine for me!

Doesn't require root or anything. It's essentially just configuring a setting via command line that lacks a user-interface option to adjust it.

I have found that setting it to 18 is perfect. It gives the smoothness of the anti-aliasing from the software with the radius as close to the size of the actual hardware screen corner.

Thank you so much! Such a small change makes such a big difference. I set both values to 1 for now. I don't notice the aliasing and would rather have the extra screen real estate.
I have a 7 Pro and don't like the exaggerated corners. I bought the phone for the full bezels but didn't realize the corners were so insane.
Essentially to get around this, in Android 9 by using ADB to lower and center the display height, then adjust the corner radius. In Android 9 ROMS, this setting is available right in the Settings app
I've tried ever Android 10 ROM without luck. I'm sure it can be done because the ADB command works but only temporarily unlike in Android 9 where it sticks. I did try rebooting
Does anyone know a ROM that offers a WORKING corner radius slider? Bliss and Havoc have the option, but changing the sliders do nothing.
Hi,
I really like to use custom width on all my previous phone.
But the current setting for Developer option/Smallest width is only 411 dpi.
Can I go above the value without problems such as poor fingerprint reader position ? Can someone share their own dpi value?
Thanks in advance.
Im using the 8 pro and i set my dpi to 520.
In oos10 the only issue was that the navigation gestures were too picky and kind of hard to use due to the smaller trigger points. (Also the ringer switch toast was too high but thats just aesthetic so whatever)
In oos 11 that issue is gone and i see no downsides at all.
In any case, go ahead and try it out. You can always change it back

Thanks a lot mate! It looks much more to my liking now.
How did you figure 520 value? Did you just through trials and error ?
I use 587. It's what my 5t was at when I switched, but I like things very small.
(I buy big phones to see more content, not the same content but bigger).
On anything built right for our phone I have no issues, but roms ported to our device sometimes have issues placing things.

Hi people, am currently waiting for bootloader unlock, am trying to sort things out and see how am gonna use my new rooted phone Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (got it as gift), well phone is great, but am coming from old era where rounded corners and notch was not a thing, i still prefeer screens with rectangle shape, and am willing to sacriface lower portion of screen up to ending of rounded corner and same above till the camera module, so i can have nice rectangular screen
Now my question is how to?
How to change screen size? (how to measure where to start and end)
If by software rounded corners still exist how to remove them?
Am planing to flash xiaomi.eu rom (am considering Ressurection Remix) and magisk root.
Thank you great people and community.
It's simple, and can be done without rooting, connect with ADB.
So your device has 1080x2400 resolution, you'll have to lower numbers from the height (2400) in order to get a rectangular display.
Play with numbers till you get it right, commands to use:
adb shell
wm size 1080x2200

Thank you very much, i will check it out once i got bootloader unlock since am waiting 168h on Xiaomi devices, i will not fiddle with anything so i dont mess something up
And about software rounding, since when in settings i choose option to hide notch and move status bar down, it hides a notch and its completley disabled part of screen, but it still gets a rounded corners by software, i will try this with option dont hide anything maybe then under hardware display is rectangular, but you never know i will let you know , but if it is software how can i find it on my device, since i googled and found something for Pixel devices, and its all diffrent, thank you alot.
And what about DPI , or resolution after that change, should i keep everything as it is

Hiding notch ain't that effective, and you lose some of your screen doing so.
Your screen is a rounded AMOLED, that's hardware, it also has software roundness in order to be compatible with your screen. It's not that hard to disable roundness, for hardware, you can overcome it by "wm size", and you can change DPI by: "wm density xxx" to your desired value.
The software overcoming needs APK editing, so you need a PC/Laptop. You need to edit framework-res.apk (and maybe SystemUI.apk). There's an app that allows you to edit framework-res.apk values directly, you may want to check it:

Thank you, its actually LCD, on Redmi note 9 pro, Thank you for commands above, when i screenshot something it appears rectangle, so in theory it should work and rounded edges should not be there
Well for that APK stuff, does installing custom ROM help in that? I was thinking about RR rom,
Also, i dont mind losing screen size, and for me hiding notch is a must doing it this way, personally i hate it, i hate rounded edges, i just hate it my heart hurts when i see it, i got this phone as gift so i need to appreciate it i cant sell/replace it that way its kinda disrespectful

Oh sorry, I assumed it being a budget killer to offer an AMOLED display similar to RN10.
Well .. having LCD makes it a bit different, as the parts you cut off from your display will keep lightening up, that's how LCD displays work.
Honestly, you'll hate it more, it'll be like watching a long video on YouTube without fullscreen mode.
Strange tradition you've got right there, here, we're more understanding, if someone gifted you a phone, it won't matter if you sold it or replaced it, what matters is the feelings you've grown out of his gift.
About the APK stuff, it can be done on any ROM, but it's more stable on AOSP-based ROMs like RR, Havoc, PE, ...
An easy way to achieve your goal would be to use adb wm size, and reduce height. (There's another thing to do, adjust the new touch positions; cause your phone will keep using old positions, so if you're using gestures, it won't work that simple, till you recalculate it. (Easy to solve).

Okay, so a year ago, I had Galaxy S7 that got some water issues, so the bottom part of screen wasn't working, and I was using on-screen navigation bar, so I used ADB wm commands to make the phone usable until it dries up.
What I did was, reducing screen height up to the usable part. Then, I used: adb wm overscan command.
This command tells the system where is the screen end, whether at top, bottom, right, or left. So if your bottom screen is reduced by 2 cm, you'll have to tell your system about that, so that it don't assume it's still at the actual hardware values.
The command uses numbered values separated by commas like this (original values):
wm overscan 0,0,0,0
The numbers are organised LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM
You can use minus too, I honestly don't remember which numbers were suitable for my case, you'll have to check it on your own (won't take over 10 minutes). Only change TOP & BOTTOM values.
Who knows, maybe you won't need to do this anymore, perhaps Android 11's AI does that automatically whenever changing screen resolution.

Okay, so a year ago, I had Galaxy S7 that got some water issues, so the bottom part of screen wasn't working, and I was using on-screen navigation bar, so I used ADB wm commands to make the phone usable until it dries up.
What I did was, reducing screen height up to the usable part. Then, I used: adb wm overscan command.
This command tells the system where is the screen end, whether at top, bottom, right, or left. So if your bottom screen is reduced by 2 cm, you'll have to tell your system about that, so that it don't assume it's still at the actual hardware values.
