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):

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
Someone finally ask the same question as mine! Hope thay some dev can disable the rounded corner on OOS so that I can freely adjust height/width without seeing that rounded corner

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.

I think you dont like bottom cornors as that cover the display of the object/text on the screen alot sometimes. I have experienced the same issue sometimes but i can live with it.

I prefer android apps that use the lower portion of the screen more than the top, due to how I hold the phone. Also right side is better than left.
Finding the right app is very difficult due to 9/10 apps having most buttons on top. I keep wondering why you can't just move the toolbar control down to the bottom.... seems simple enough, Maybe there's a way to hack this? It should be simple enough to move the toolbar but if there's a dropdown menu, it gets more complicated. Maybe overlay configured to mirror another part of the screen, that would repeat taps to the original location....
Resizing the whole screen is one solution. There's Touchwiz for S5, OneHanded (Galaxy Note) and One-Hand Mode Xposed Mod which are pretty good but I just want to reach higher sometimes. A super quick way to enable/disable the screen sizer might work. Is there a gesture program that responds to gestures based on length of swipe and location? Maybe auto-return to full screen after 3s of inactivity? Is there something like this that will let you move the whole screen without resizing?
If you have found any great apps with bottom toolbars, please post links. Or if there's a good thread about this
The tool bar is called an ActionBar, moving the actionbar to the bottom is virtually impossible or as Google says a No No. We don't know why. But there is a split actionbar option, where you can add actions to the bottom of the screen.
You may be able to add actions to the bottom if you completely remove the actionbar (by using a theme that has no action bar) and then coding a fake one and merging it to the lower part of the layout.
Though you can't really do this to applications that have already been made unless you have the source code.
So I suggest. Get a smaller phone? Most large phones nowadays require two hand use.
So as the oneplus missed the bit on dark navbar on dark themed apps:
Small guide for the somewhat skilled xda-members.
Take backups as usual.
Pre req:
1: Deodexed rom
As not there are none so you have to do it yourself
(Fulmics deodex tool is an good start)
I may provide an rom if enough requests.
2: Decompile OPSystemUI.apk
An excellent toll : Advanced+ApkTool
3: Go to: OPSystemUI.apk\res\values\colors.xml
Change to <color name="op_nav_bar_background_light">#ff000000</color>
4: Recompile, and flash
I attach an updater for deodexed roms.
The reason for why it's white is because it's to avoid possible burn ins. And I read somewhere that you can download this app called "navbar app" which can change it to black if you're really wanted too.

Navbar app resets to defaults, eg, not functional on op5T
For me "Navbar Apps" does the trick, you just need to grand accessibility service, you don't even need root. I just disabled the color changing animation.
Any screens?
Navbar apps work but not everytime. Like - It doesn't work perfectly on Nova Launcher and Google App.
For the most apps the navbar app improved the ugly grey navbar. Facebook in App browser for eg forces the grey navbar. I attached chrome screenshots with enabled black navbar and the default grey one. Nova launcher works perfect for me.
I've never been a fan of the black navbar. I've always thought it should match the color of the top status bar.
So far, using the Light theme, the off-white navbar looks pretty good.

I really miss some of the ROMs from the good old days. Where Devs would take stock ROMs deodex them, decompile individual apps make edits like you mentioned above and smali edits. In some cases the end result would be a stock based ROM with all the extra options.

I don't think you need to worry about burn in down there. Better option would be to change the spacing and nav theme more often (like once every few months).

White color only makes it burn in harder.
I have not had any issues with the navbar apps from play store. I set to static black and stays that way. I would not mind a fully deodexed stock ROM though, That would be nice. No other modifications, just deodexed, fixed nav of course why this thread is here, and boom. lol

+1 to this, I would love to see a deodexed stock OOS for our device that has a few modification options. Similar to what Fulmics did with the LG G3 (and other LG devices). He is the author of that deodex tool after all. Probably most of it could be done through modifying this same system APK & flashing on a rooted device, something I'm considering toying around with (but it would be time consuming...). Only problem with solutions like this is when new system updates come out you need to wait for an updated version of this as well in many cases.
Easier just to install Navbar apps from play

No, the *off white* color used with the grey buttons reduces burn-in greatly. A black navbar on an OLED screen simply causes the pixels in the navbar strip to remain deactivated for prolonged periods of time, causing the buttons themselves and every other part of the screen whose pixels remain active more often to degenerate at a much faster rate, causing the burn-in effect. Since the nav-bar isn't completely white, the pixels in that area aren't being driven as hard as they would be, were they stark white, or as white as the display can go. The grey buttons/icons help reduce burn-in as well, as the pixels are still active and "lit" in these areas and are not being driven the hardest possible (stark white on OLED drives the pixels harder than off-white, grey, and most other colors displayed by the phone).

UPDATE: New version EB_CD_1.4_BETA is now up on Google Play Store. Download now! Please leave a rating on Google Play Store if you try the App, your feedback is very valuable!
NOTE: The App is tested on Samsung Galaxy S9 so far, for the looks. If you have a Galaxy S8/S8+/S9+, please post some pictures as a feedback. Thanks!
Greetings! I made this special Curved Edition of Energy Bar for Galaxy S8/S9/+. Look forward to hear community feedback on this.

Many of you who have a Windows Mobile past like me, might have instantly recognized the thin colorful line(s) in the above image. And for the new Android generation, introducing Energy Bar - a pulsating Battery indicator!
Energy Bar puts a thin line on top of your Status Bar whose length corresponds to your device's current Battery level.
Got a full charge? The line will cover the whole width of your screen.
Battery depleting? So will the length of Energy Bar.
After several iterations (thank you for the feedback, early testers), the App is now feature packed:
Energy Bar can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to cover the entire status bar
Energy Bar puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
Energy Bar's origin can be configured as left/center/right
Energy Bar can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
Energy Bar can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
Energy Bar could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient
You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
Energy Bar as a cool pulsating animation whenever a power source is plugged into your device
There is something about visual over numbers that keeps you and your device's battery level in sync with just a glance. You may find it intuitive/effective/stylish way to read the battery level, let me know what you think

Same issue here
It looks great, my only grips is that the bar is vey uneven around the curve edges. I'm super OCD about these things though.
it looks good, but careful, it might burned-in.
for example the left part, assuming it's full bar, the area between 0-20% might stay the same at all times, which could lead to burn in.

It looks great, my only grips is that the bar is vey uneven around the curve edges. I'm super OCD about these things though.

Hi! Thanks for trying. Could you please send me screenshots (also photos of the phone) indicating the unevenness? I don't have the physical device, if there is enough information, I may be able to fix it.

it looks good, but careful, it might burned-in.
for example the left part, assuming it's full bar, the area between 0-20% might stay the same at all times, which could lead to burn in.

Thanks! And yes, there is always that possibility. Hopefully switching up the color intensity or even the color itself from settings and changing the 'origin of the bar' will be helpful. I will look into if there is anything I can add/change to avoid any potential burn ins.

if OLED can't get burn in, i will definitely use this, it just looks great!
maybe you can look to Samsung or Google how they handle burn in?
because as you know, even signal icon or battery icon can get burn in over time.

Sure! Here are a few shots of what I mean. What mainly bugged me is that there isn't the same amount of space from the edge of the screen in areas of the curve, some pixellation, and how it curves inward at the bottom of the status bar (which is what I think may be a source of the unevenness). I don't know if these are possible to fix, but thanks anyway!
Sorry for being so picky, I hope this helps.

I agree, if the bar tapered off just at the bottom of the status bar it'd be great. At full thickness it still sticks under buy a bit.
Also @jagen2 what are the "donation" amounts? There's no currency listed in the unlock page...

Hey Guys! The pixelation I am afraid is not fixable without some performance cost. Now about the uneven thickness, I am not quite sure if I understand what you mean.
The Bar curves along the physical curve to meet at a sharp point where the phone's physical curve ends, so naturally the distance between the physical curve and Energy Bar's curve will keep on reducing to meet a sharp point.
I did consider making the curve end at the bottom of status bar precisely, but it didn't look 'good', moreover, it made more sense to curve Energy Bar and take it as far as where the physical curve seem to end.

Please click one of the options, a pop-up from Google Play will appear which will list the price in your local currency.
UPDATE: What's new?
EB_CD_1.2_BETA:
* Adjusted the curve at left corner by 1 pixel, because every pixel matters!
* Fixed issues with 'Status Bar' mode - portrait to landscape switching/auto-hides.
EB_CD_1.2.1_BETA:
* Minor Bug fixes
Hey Guys! If you try the App, please leave a review on Google Play Store, it will be really helpful, thanks!
Paid for the unlock cuz I love the gradient effect, everything looks great.
Had an idea for a charging animation though.
So when the bar comes in and hits the end of the battery level maybe make one it so the bar travels thoughout the entire bar (as a little "blip") twords 0%, cuz that would help with the burn in since it'll add a little animation to the lower end (under 50%).
Cuz I know I for one never let my battery drop under 20% so that bit of the bar is always there.
Also, could you make the background transparent? Samsung sets some apps with a white status bar which turns the text grey and unreadable
Hey, this looks great. I wonder why you didn't release it for S7 Edge (and maybe S6 Edge) also. Is there a technical reason or didn't it come to your mind?
About S7 Edge ?
It's a shame not to give the S7 Edge, after all tb has curved screen!
This is really cool. Any chance of a note 8 compatible one as the note 8 curves differently?

It works on every phone, not only Samsung, with or without curved display. That's an overlay with rounded corners.

Very nice app (literally)!
However, when I first read the xda news, I saw pulsating as an option. But after I installed the app, I can't seem to find the pulsating option.
Maybe we have a different understanding of the word.
I really wish it does pulsate or twinkles or even dims and brighten up in circulation. Hope you can understand what I'm saying. As this will help with the burn in problem too.
@jagan2
Edit: I see now, pulsating is an animation when charging. But what I'm suggesting is that the whole bar pulsates, and not necessarily only when charging, can have it on all the time, to help with burn in.

Great bat where can I downloaded because in Google play says that can not because I have a s7 instead of a s8!

I guess it does, but the author has locked it in Google Play on S8,S9, Note 8.
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...

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.
It was supposed to be just an experiment, but now I'm spend.
Basically, I can perfectly well change the resolution on my a22 4g, which was what I wanted, but certain elements, like the rounded corners and notification bar, or what it's called, are not handled. The radius is not scaled, which looks horrible. It can be changed manually, from what I've tried, but the change is not persistent. All it takes is a single rotation of the phone, and we're back to scratch, and besides, the other issues aren't solved, even if it worked.
I've tried numerous helper apps, just for kick, but they don't seem to be able to do a better job than myself, so what's the game here? Is it simply not possible, or am I missing something?

Although interesting, the name rather imply that it is not a general solution, and besides, it basically requires root, which really shouldn't be necessary. I will look into it, however, so thanks for the reply.

changing resolution was never great because android not officialy support it , thus creating anoying visual bug .And what is your ploblem when using native resolution outside gaming?

No problem. As I said, it was an experiment. How low can you/I go, without it being too low, and what will the impact om battery life be?
IMO to change appearance of some System UI elements you've to use System UI Tuner app
