Hi.. I was wondering if we have the same notch killer as one on android 10, working with Oneplus 8T.
I have already tested a few and none of them are working. I have tested:
Notch Killer
G Visual Mod
None Display cutout
The main reason to have this is most of the apps expand only till notch and statusbar space is wasted.
Surprisingly there are no apps shown in 'Apps to display in Fullscreen'.
Still looking for myself too. G-visual worked for my Oneplus 8 but soft bricked my 8T. Really eager to find how to force fullscreen as I'm now starting to see status bar icons burning in. Also when in landscape most apps leave a black bar to the left with that area starting to burn in too.
Oneplus and Google really need to sort their act out.

What setting do you guys prefer? Notch or notch hidden? I have mine full screen with notch it doesn't bother me and I think it looks pretty nice
Full screen with notch shown. Hidden just looks ugly imo

Ya I think it looks better with the notch as well I don't mind it without tho it still looks clean
Hiding the notch borks some things like Android Auto. I got used to it very quickly and prefer the full screen.
I have it full screen as well. Also I use Nova launcher and I use the gesture swipe up to toggle/hide the status bar. That also hides the notch on the fly but also hide all the status bar info unless you pull down. Just thought that was an interesting way to hide show the notch on the fly.
I also have full screen with notch. I thought it would bother me but it doesn't.
With notch, like most others, it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would and actually looks nicer than the entire top blacked out.

Some of us OnePlus 6 users, who connect to infotainment systems, for Android Auto, have discovered we don't have a choice. If the notch is hidden, the car's touch screen doesn't respond. The image displayed might not even fit.
It's great to have a choice. But, without an update from OnePlus, some of us are finding there's no option.
Before my own hand was forced, I hadn't made up my mind as to which I preferred.
And Nova Launcher provides some extraordinarily useful settings, for making the most of a navigation-button-free landscape, on this device's screen.
Can't believe I'm the only one so far hiding the notch! Not that I hate it or anything, I just think it looks better hidden. It helps balance it with the chin.
I've been switching back and forth...kinda like them both actually...but I mostly leave the notch
Hello, guys!
What does everyone mean by hiding the notch? Just making it black or disabling the notch area completely? Is there any ROM with the ability to turn off the notch area and move notifications beneath the notch so that I could have just a normal status bar with a long row of icons?

By default, "hiding" the notch, simply turns it to black background. That never made sense to me, so I just left it as is. I'm also interested in an option the move the status bar below the notch, so I can see more notifications.
Black status bar in my op6 - so ntoch hidden. Not bother me at all and there is enough space for icons, and more space on display itself.

I'd also like this option.
I really don't mind the notch at all. If anything I wish most apps would allow me to fill it totally when in immersive mode instead of blacking it out. Many apps don't use the space.
Newb here, it's always white and ugly. How to do it no root?
You need to root then install Xposed then in Xposed search BlackNavigationBar
Download the app called Navbar apps

I strongly recommend removing the navigation bar all together and enable gestures, at least try it. I liked it so much I cant go back to nav bars again

Gestures are trash. Tried for a week
Meizu did it best years ago.
Navbar apps is CLOSE to working (not great) and I do NOT want to root. All that does is lead to problems. We need OP to add system level control over navbar color, that would be awesome (if possible)
I use navbar while trying also to get used to gestures.
It does not need root, BTW. And it has some nice customisations. But sometimes, it gets forgotten, and the customisations don't apply (Which often resolves after a few moments but it just means it's not perfect).
There is also a module that can detect when keyboard is open, so you can choose a keyboard appropriate colour, rather than in apps like Facebook having bright white navbar against my material dark themed keyboard.
Gestures could be quite nice, but I need more control of them. For example, I find the home gesture and back gestures get mixed up sometimes. I would rather have one side of the phone dedicated to home (right side, until about 25% from the edge) and the rest to act as back.
Also, I still have some apps that use menu button, which, with buttons, can be mapped to long press recent tasks, but has no equivalent gesture. It could have a similar gesture to how you get to recent apps, but from the back button side. It would keep the gesture logic and adds a function that works in certain contexts.
Until gestures have the controls I need, I will continue using navbar. Coming from an Honor phone, it's really great that it works, even if it sometimes forgets to activate. (Huawei's os has this magical way to overwrite any customisations that the user might like).

Also the hide the nav bar option gives you transparent nav bar.

correct. I don't understand why OnePlus didn't do it like that instead.
f you have Xposed Systemless and Magisk installed (requires root and an unlocked bootloader obviously, also assuming this is for the Oneplus 5, 5T, or 6) install the Xposed Module "BlackNavigation Bar for Oneplus 5T, Oneplus 6" by yuanwofei. Works great and makes it black instead.
Yesterday I updated to the new stock Oxygen (Android 10) and went very dissapointed , the flow in the system is worse but the sRGB mode in the display settings got worse and isnt as acurate as before.
But also the option for hiding the Notch got worse, before it was possible to have a straight black line just on the sides of the Notch with the clock and battery icons. Now the icons is under the line of the Notch and it is aslo round corners with is ugly which also mean less screen size
Anyone who know a fix on this one or is the only option to downgrade to Anroid 9 again?
I am currently in MiUI 12 and I realized that in the status bar it does not show more than 3 icons followed by the 3 points when you have more and I feel that it is not useful since we do not have any notch or hole on the screen, it is possible in any hidden settings activate so that more can be seen?
I never realized this is what was happening!
I thought the dot was some weird icon! Yeah, that is silly on their part!
In Develop Options > Display cut-out, you can choose different notch views, the status bar changes, but dunno if this is the solution.

If I'm not talking nonsense, Xiaomi already had this way of displaying icons in the status bar, long before hole / notch phones existed.
My Mi4c (2015) worked this way
So gesture navigation has already been great, Idk if it only exists in Android 11 but gesture navigation seemed to be not-so-good in full-screen gaming since if you just touch and swip the edges of your phone, the status bar shows up, and it's kinda annoying because it is distracting, especially in full-screen. Any workaround setting on how to fix this?
