I was meaning to make this thread and forgot all the questions I had.
I'll start with one, does the CM rom have dual sim function?
I can't seem to find the data usage in settings unless miui removed it?

i think your battery is empty before that happens
Found this on ars technica site:
Actually it's physically impossible for an LCD to get screen burn - that refers to the phosphorous coating on old CRTs where the electron beam actually burnt away the coating... (which is technically reversible, however I doubt it would be economically feasible and requires specialist equipment)
LCDs suffer from a something similar - which is called image persistence, a static image causes a parasitic capacitance to build up which prevents the liquid crystal molecules from returning to their normal relaxed state. The good news is that it's reversible and can be performed by an end user.
It can usually be recovered by displaying a full white screen and depending on the severity of the persistent image it can be recovered in as little as an hour...
Also due to the nature of IPS panels they tend to suffer the image persistence problems sooner than other LCD panels. Modern laptops shouldn't suffer from image ghosting (not at a hardware level anyway) - on older panels is was caused by slow refresh rates and panel response times (The old cursor submarining on Apple PowerBook 140s spring to mind). Extremes in temperatures can cause ghosting or panel lethargy in older panels - most modern panels have impressive temperature ranges...

I guess I can install the nav bar mod without worrying about screen burns then
Yes
I did install soft buttons last week but it wasn't transparent where aosp based roms are and was worried about screen burns so removed it

But on other phones they are often also not transparent
Example being the desktop, its transparent and some apps also have it transparent

Yes, but before Android KitKat almost all nav bars were black
Yea I know that, just want it to mimic nexus method
Is there any app that can assign long press actions to Tue capacitive keys? I need long press menu/recents button launch last app. Sadly miui doesn't have this. I know cm rom has it but need it on miui rom.

To answer original question, yes, dual sim works well. You assign which sim to use for outgoing calls or to ask you every time which sim to use. same with sms. For data you assign one sim.
The one sim that is primary can use 3g, lte, while the secondary uses 2g (from what i have observed).
Hello, are there any Mi4c users using CDMA/Evdo Rev. A networks? I'm using CDMA networks but the data connection not working at all neither through CDMA or Evdo Rev. A or even LTE, but the sms & voice working normal. Has anyone facing the same problem? Maybe has solution to it?
Thanks.
Anyone else have issues with the alarm not ringing in the morning, after the phone haven't been used for 6-8 hours during the night? I'm currently using Sleep as Android as my alarm app and I've set the alarm to ring every morning, but it never does. I assume this is because of MiUI's memory optimization, which causes it to shutdown the app during the night and therefore the alarm won't ring when I've set it to.
I've tried looking for an option to customize/turn off the memory optimization for certain apps, but I can't seem to find any option for this. Anyone experienced the same issues and have any solution to it, because the alarm is kinda necessary for me ^^
Well the default alarm works fine for me and I'm on build 5.11.5
Default alarm app works fine for me too

Hm, alright.. maybe I should try to use the default alarm and see if it works. You don't have any ideas of why Sleep as Android isn't working? I have tried to set the alarm during the day when I'm constantly using the phone and then the alarm is working perfectly, so it seems like the phone is doing something during the night that turns off the app.
Thanks for your answers.
Is there any way of preventing the miui CD mounting when connecting to PC with USB?
Hi there,
I just received my new Mi MIX 2S (actually, I got it 360 hours ago, if you know what I mean...) and I'm very satisfied with this toy
I'm on the last MIUI 10 Global Beta (8.7.5) since this afternoon, with SuperSU v2.82-SR5 and of course, with an unlocked bootloader.
However, I noticed a "strange" glitch/issue when I quick touching/typing.
It's seems that the screen not considering the different touch but acts like it does "two in one" touch.
I made a small video to illustrate the issue :
https://youtu.be/NdW8Zeo1MLQ
Does anyone has this too ?
Do you think it's an hardware or a software issue (like calibrate or touch-delay update) ?
Thanks

Damn... I bought mine on Joybuy, I'll try to deal with them about the warranty because I guess I can't contact Xiaomi directly.
The XDA Gesture workaround seems to be a good temporary way but, I really don't want to stay on a defective device...
I already did this with my Oneplus One (as a early buyer, I got a similar issue) and it was worst with time, I regret to had never return them

Bought mine on Aliexpress, no way I'll get a warranty without me paying $30 of shipping and lose a month without the phone.
I tried the XDA gesture thing, but you can't really get the same gestures as on MIUI (alsway have to make the gestures from the bottom of the phone it seems). So for now I'm just using it with this "bug", with the keyboard closing from time to time when I type.
Probably gonna get a Mi Max 3 to replace it anyway sooner or later.
I just made the thest you did with a drawing app and I got the same results when I multi touched the screen very quickly. I hadn't noticed this earlier because it didn't cause any problem for my daily use. Specifically, in which context did you notice that issue?

Thanks for your test and your answer.
In my case, it's very annoying when I (fast) typing a message, it causes a "fake" swipe and recude the keyboard or go back to home screen. I'll try to make a better screencast to show you in-use case.

Fine, I'll tell you my experience. I use to had the same problem, it's only noticeable using the keyboard and specially when you tap the letters located near the edge of the screen, specially like the Q and P. I'm almost completely sure that the problem is related to gestures, because the system thinks you're swiping, in my case I got some lag too in addition to the false back gesture. What I did to fix this is use the keyboard (Google keyboard) in one hand mode (long press the "," and this option will pop up next to the emoticon) and moving it to the center and the problem is gone. It's actually more comfortable this way because the space bar moves up and it's more accessible. You can play then with the keyboard size if you think it's too small. There are two others threads talking about the same problem and I recommended this solution in both, and it seems to work for others too. Try it and tell us.

Hi,
Actually, I think it's more an OS issue than an hardware one.
After some tries and research, I noticed that these "screen glitches" are bad interpretations of fast multitouching, translate into swipe/gesture.
These swipe/gesture come with the gesture navigation mode, included in full-screen desplay (and which allow to hide the bottom navigation bar).
If you re-enable the "classic" display, with the bottom bar, the issue doesn't seem to exist. So, I guess for MIUI, some fast-typing/touching are interpreted as gestures (swipe down-to-up = home, left-to-right = previous...)
In the same registry, I noticed that, if you use a scrollable widget (Google Agenda in planning display) and if you scroll down on it (in order to see the bottom lines for example), MIUI interpret it as a down-to-up gesture (and so, go back to home, or search).
So, I really hope that in a future update, the sensibility of these gestures could be decreased/improved...
For now, you could :
Enable the one-hand mode ok Google Keyboard as proposed by @rodaven (but personnaly, I dislike the fact to have a small keyboard with a lot of lost space around it...)
Disable the full sceen display mode (and so, say goodbye to the gestures feature)
Stay on full screen mode and gestures, get upset when you write a message and pray for un update

I have the gestures disabled because of that but it still happens in the keyboard (I don't like the one-hand mode). So, we need to wait hoping it'll be solved.

In my opinion, it's the same issue.
Due to the full screen/gesture feature, fast multitouches are interpreted as a gesture.
On my video, you could see it.
On the issue from MIUI website, users asked that swipe/gesture are disable over keyboard when it's on-screen.
I think it should be a solution to combine gesture navigation and fast multitouch/type.
Personnaly, I disable full screen/gesture navigation (for now, sadly) and the issue desappear, that's why I'm pretty sure it's a software issue (which concern very model with this feature).
I changed my screen
Actually i cracked my screen and replaced new lcd from aliexpress claimed original. I checked it is JDI. But the touch issues still persist. I think its xiaomi driver.. or i dont know.. i really regret having this phone

It's very disapointing, I had touch screen problems with my oneplus one and now with the mix 2s.
Hi,
I just got my OP7 Pro and one of the first things I like to do is change the DPI in 'developer options'. I did this on the OP7 Pro and it broke finger print authentication. The DPI changes appears to actually make the whole lockscreen size placement smaller which also moves the green "fingerprint icon" higher up on the screen (off of the actual under screen hardware location). This then breaks finger print scanning on the lock screen (so make sure you got a pin key set). I went from the standard 411? to 460. I don't remember this problem on my 5T or 6T. Anyone else notice?
Thanks.
Just wondering why you'd need to do this? Is it because OOS's smallest Display size is still too big? Just curious.
Hmm...because I can . But partially yes. I just did it and then changed it back once I realized it broke finger print authentication. I can live without it but this wasn't an issue on older models and part of the beauty of these phones is the ability to customize whatever the he$$ you want.

From my experience with the 6T (I don't have the 7 Pro, yet), custom DPI messes things up in weird places. In some games, the onscreen buttons would not correspond with their actual input threshold (sorry for improper wording).

Yes, I didn't have this problem on my 6T either... But my 7 Pro doesn't like anything beyond 437... 438 onwards, fingerprint doesn't work... So I kept it at 437...
520 DPI works
520 dpi works, One Plus is aware
I have mine set at 479 and everything works fine.
Using 480 with no problem, was also using 470 for a while flawlessly
Ok, anything between 438 and 470 is causing the problem.. from 470, it works fine...
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.
disable rounded screen corners on pixel 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.
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:
Privset.

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.
