Pixel Props causing Brightness issues. Anyone faced similar problems? - OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers

I have a rooted Indian version of OnePlus 8T.
Everytime I try to change my device props to Pixel props via directly flashing the pixel props file or using "Magisk Hide Props" module - the display brightness breaks.
While the lock screen is still okay and the brightness behaves normally but as soon as you unlock the phone it goes too dim. Sliding the brightness panel doesn't do anything and neither does disabling adaptive brightness. I've stumbled across months old posts about someone having the same issue with Oneplus 8 Pro but didn't find any solution there either.
Please, anyone let me know if you can somehow get around those problems?
Thank you!

Hi,
Did you find any solution. It seems that it breaks the highest available brightness on the device . I am not sure how to enable that

Hey,
Does anyone got a chance to have a fix for this? I have the same issue with a oneplus 8, and i can't find any solution yet..
Removing the "system.props" from the module breaks the feature of the module

I actually do have a *partial* solution to this. If you were changing the fingerprint to enable call screening or call recording in Google Phone, then the solution is to use Google Dialer Mod instead. It's a root app that has toggles which literally allow you to turn on Call Screening, Call Recording, and pretty much any other Google Phone feature you'd want to enable. No fingerprinting necessary. If you were trying to get other pixel mods, unfortunatley I have no answer to that.

[Help Required] Proximity Speakerphone

I normally use a Macro in Macrodroid to activate Speakerphone when I am on call and phone is away from my ear. This help me do multitasking, easy way. I can manually activate and deactivate Speakerphone, but it slows down my regular working while on phone.
However, this is not working in Oneplus 6. I also tried Tasker profile, but it is not working as well. Does anyone have any idea how this will work on Oxygen OS? I looked in to Oneplus Forums and can see many users facing this issue with earlier OP devices as well.
P.S. I tried Auto Speaker app from play store and it did not work as well.
I do believe this may be achieved by Gravity Box, but I am not inclined to install Xposed as of now.
Update: some people on OP forum said that problem could be dialer. So I installed Google Dialer as default but It did not work as well.

Why not have speakerphone on always, but deactivate it when the phone is near your ear?

Same principal is used in the macro, profile and app. It's not working.
That's Automation.
Any help?
Still haven't found a solution for this either.

I'm looking for this feature too... In resurrection remix 7.1.2 on nexus 6 the dialer has the option to activate the loudspeaker with proximity sensor, you could even set the reacting time. This feature is present even on pure nexus 6.0.1 but it's no more present since Oreo. Don't know why . Every option o app or trick I tried to emulate this feature is not working as good as the integrated one . We should try to dump the phone app , it's almost a replica of the Google one . I really miss this feature, because when I work on smartphone repair over a microscope, I could answer with my android wear and my smartphone over the desktop answer the call in loudspeaker mode

Official Android Pie - discussion and experience

We should use this thread to discuss about the official Android 9 update for the Mi A2 Lite!
Cool, but many didn't get the update yet...

I thought it has the dark mode, but it hasn't. You can find it in the settings but if you activate it nothing happen..
I noticed that the performance is slightly better than Oreo. The phone runs faster and there are much fewer lags!
First I thought the battery drain got heavier, but after the second day it reached the normal drain, which we know from Oreo
Also I love the new stock launcher. It's like the Pixel-Launcher with the "at a glance" feature, just as the new navigation-gestures which we also know from the Pixel-devices.

It has a dark mode but it's very limited. When you activate it the quick settings in the notification area and some colour accents on the home screen and app list will become dark. It will not, however, change any other colours in the OS.
I'm experiencing some serious lag at moments.
On oreo I barely experienced lag at all.
Any advice?
I'm having lag/stutter in recent tasks... It was way faster in Oreo and I preferred the vertical layout.

If you have root, you can disable the StockLauncher and download another launcher from the PlayStore. Then you will have the vertical layout.
Updated mine in Austria by following the VPN method.
On first boot I face WiFi connection issues and also Bluetooth is not working fine. - resolved by the first reboot
I face a poor call audio distortion.
Videos, Music, etc. that uses the other loudspeaker is working fine but in phone calls using the other speaker I face massive saturation effects even with small volume.
I also tried to manufacturing reset my phone, without success.
best regards,
Mario
Correct. I updated mine yesterday and can confirm, poor call audio distortion. That thing drives me nuts.
The arrows on the network and wifi icons on notification is also a thing to remove, or at least give us the chance to remove it.
Besides that, i didn't see to much cases.

This is a widely seen bug for Pie which I personally find not acceptable in 'stable' release. Couldn't do a calls due to sound quality and reverted back to Oreo.
I wasn't able to upgrade to 9.0. I tried VPN method and it didn't work. Can anyone help me?

Mhmm, it only work for me when I used the CyberGhost-VPN-App (free trial). ExpressVPN or something else didn't work for me
Okay. So doing factory reset fixed the lag in recent apps.
But I did an antutu benchmark and the performance has dropped significantly from 78232 to 67477.
Anyone else can confirm this?

Is there any way to change the lockscreen camera?

I've searched all around but I haven't seen anyone say anything about changing the lockscreen camera from the default one to gcam. In addition to the lockscreen, I was wondering if it's also possible with the double click shortcut. It works right now if my phone is unlocked, but if I try to do it while my phone is locked, it automatically sets it back to the OnePlus camera. This seems like something we could come up with a solution for if there isn't already one.

Brightness issue with Pixel mod in OOS

Hey Everyone,
I was able to get all Pixel features like photos unlimited, call screen, hold for me in OOS using this Magisk Module.
But upon installing, the brightness of the device is set to low and completely broken so it doesn't change. Did anyone able to run it and fix this?
I was able to use it by going in to fingerprint and click add fingerprint which brings the brightness back to normal and quit the fingerprint by swiping in notifications and the brightness presists but that's not usable in long term
Edit1: Seems like I was wrong. All the features are getting turned off one by one.
Writing here for anyone who wants to get pixel features in oxygen os rather than AOSP.
I was able to solve the issue. All I had to do is delete the system.prop file from the module and install it. Now the photos shows unlimited uploads and I don't have the brightness issue.

I have same issue... I got call screening Pixel feature in Oxygen by changing device fingerprint but have same screen brightness problem.
Can you please some detail of how to delete the system.prop file in the module and then install it.

Question Any way to fix accidental touches when phone is in pocket?

Hi guys!
So, I've been using this phone for a while on stock ROM and I noticed that the screen automatically turns on and there are random touches when my phone is in the pocket. Today, it got so bad that my phone went to the camera app and took some photos, switched to video and recorded some videos while in the pocket.
I have already enabled accidental touch protection in settings but that doesn't seem to work. So, basically, I was wondering if someone managed to fix that, perhaps with a third-party application.
I also have root so if there is an xposed module or magisk module to fix this, do let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Use a case with raised display guard (as you should anyway).
Turn display away from your skin.

already use one and I don't like keeping the display away from skin because then I have to turn the phone around after taking it out from pocket.
I disabled double tap to wake for now because of this. I really hope they fix this bug on One UI 5 but I doubt it.

Disable the tap to wake and lock feature, if you use Always on display select its tap to show function. these should solve your problem.
