So I've scoured the developer options on the phone and found a way to change the shape of the notch, but can't figure out a way to have apps go full screen. Anyone know a way to make this work?
You're in the wrong thread. 4a has a hole punch camera in the front. No notch to change the shape of or hide
Okay, apologize for the incorrect term usage here. I am using my 4a, in the Developer Options menu there is a sub-menu for "Display cutout" which is what I was able to change the "notch" as I called it. Is there a way to add to this list or to disable the display cutout in some apps?

Has there ever been a tweak or mod where you can have your notification window come from the bottom instead of top? Seems it would be a great feature with the additional screen size.

Nova launcher can do that with gestures. Or there's a setting in the phone to swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to pull the notification panel down or back up.
What I was meaning is kinda like the control center on the iphone when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Just totally move the notification screen to the bottom of the screen once you swipe up.
The furthest you're going to reach your finger is to swipe down from the top for the notification window so why not put it at the bottom being that it's something being used a lot through out the day.
I will say samsung has done a lot for reachability just that one little thing I think would make a huge deal.

Sorry, looks like that feature hasn't been around since ICS.
I'm curious if it's even possible with a custom rom. I always questioned this too. When I had the iPhone 4, I hated switching to iOS 6, but the swipe up from the bottom to access your quick settings was a stroke of genius and got me to actually enjoy it even more after jailbreaking it because you could tweak the odd cosmetics.
iPhone was able to do it through a software update. Why can't Android? What's the limitation and what makes it so limited that no one has been able to accomplish this? Genuine question and interest.
Galaxy S8+ is a phenomenal phone that I think will take quite a bit to outdo it, but the biggest problem with having massive screens is reaching those quick settings. Even with the edge bar, it's still not the same. And the swipe gesture with the fingerprint scanner is neat but that doesn't get you the quick settings a person needs with one hand as well as accessing the notifications.
It would very nice to have that reversed. I have big hands and it's still a pain to always have to use the phone with two hands for those quick things people like to do. Like adjusting brightness, muting, flashlight, Bluetooth etc.
Maybe one day they'll realize people still hold their phones with one hand every now and again and try to tailor that there notification panel accordingly :silly:

It is possible!
It can be done even with an app.
but it can be confusing because of Navigation Buttons at the bottom.
and in this way using this on custom rom can be better >> set nav bars little bit higher and then notification bar below that.......
I think after this idea you will see lots of mods and apps
If I decide to do it I will inform you
I always wanted that swipe down for quick access to controls in ios on Android. Why haven't they implemented that yet? Took them many years to have a "night mode" on Android.

Have never really understood the ergonomics of it. Bottom Status Bar should at least be an Xposed Module!
Hello, how can I disable the accessibility icon in the button bar ?
Maybe it's impossible
Same issue here. I had it activated for something to do with FFBE on my other phone and it carried over to my OnePlus. Unfortunately, there is no option to disable or enable it, they've seemingly only added "triple tap to zoom" and hidden the icon zoom.

Sorry to hear that...it's quite annoying for me because this button use the right place of the back button of my old OP3 !
I tried the navigation gestures ans it's no no no...
Cheers
Disable the android Accessibility suite. Search for it in your settings, disable the app and it should go away.
I remember reading on here that you can change the PPI to 402 on here but I can't remember where I read it. Does anyone know if this is actually possible?
Settings\More Settings\Developer Options. Scroll to Drawing\Minimum Width setting. Remember the default setting before you make changes. I think it's 360DPI. Watch the beginning of this youtube video on how to enable Developer Options if you can't access those settings.

guys, it's not that hard to do developer mode....
To enable "Developer Mode" on Vivo NEX S
Settings>More Settings>About Phone>Tap on "Software Version" 7 times then go to the previous screen. "Developer Options" is now added at the very bottom.
Notes
1. You do not need to turn on "Developer Options" switch to make adjustments to "minimum width" settings in the Drawing section.
2. This does not change the actual PPI of the screen (obviously), only sets DPI scaling, or the ability to adjust the size of on-screen content. Decreasing the value will give you larger icons and make text easier to read while increasing it will make on-screen elements smaller and fit more content on the screen.
ill have to cross post this in the other thread for clarification. apparently some are going through a lot of steps like downloading apps or having to connect to computer when it's as easy as tapping the screen a few times....
Is there a way to get the Backbutton to the right side under Android Q? Custom Navbar App dosnt work and the Tut from XDA about the ADB Comands either.
hi, I'd also like to know if there is a way to get it back on the right side.
I actually use the full gesture mode, but there is something that I would like to change :
When you open the keyboard, the button to close it is also on the left side, is there a way to get it on the right ?(probably something to do with the navbar position of the buttons)
Cheers
I've mostly adjusted to this new layout after coming from a Note 9, but I definitely miss the massive customization Sammy offered via the Good Lock app. Interested in hearing the recommended way to achieve a similar level of tweaking in vanilla Android.
I tried digging through the settings activities to see if it was in a hidden menu somewhere, but couldn't find anything. I did discover that if I freeze Pixel Launcher, I lose the System Navigation entry in the System > Gestures menu, and the app switch button stops working. Maybe the Pixel Launcher has some way of controlling the order of the buttons? Though, if it does, it's not in any of the settings.
The Pixel Experience ROM I had on my Xiaomi A2 had a setting under gesture Edge Touch Area. This could adjust how far up the edge the back gesture was detected. Is there a way to enable this? Is it in any ROM?
I find it especially difficult to open the settings in YouTube in Fullscreen as touches in the corner are ignored
search "gesture" in settings, if you've it you'll find an option to adjust the area
GrapheneOS has it, stock probably has it.
AOSPMods has this feature.
