"Thanks for reaching out! Android Pie changed the way all apps interact with the space around the notch, and introduced standardized methods for app developers to support full screen mode. This should drive app developers to update their apps with native full screen options, without the need for custom notch settings.
For our first Android Pie release, we are using Google's standard implementation of the notch space. We will continue to monitor adoption of Pie's full-screen capabilities and evaluate whether it makes sense to customize and re-develop our own notch settings.
Hope that helps answer your question. Have a great day!"

Using horizontal app switch is so fundamentally and ergonomically wrong to the feel of Android. HTC (whom I love) used this horizontal card system in 2012. It was awful. Custom AOSP ROMs saved us. Now Google is doing it. !amazing! So wrong. And the PIP or WIW is way harder to do now compared to Android 8.1 and below.
Google you really botched this BS.

Nah it's just you aren't used to it. This has been the norm in the iOS world for several years. Point is it's no better or worse

On the first day of getting the Essential the Pie update was there... LOL
Well the swipe up drive anyone else crazy, with it always swipping the launcher up slightly too? I hope they can change this, so it's not also always moving up as well... hmm

Oh its terrible for sure...I have one PH-1 rolled back to 8.1, but I am holding off on mine for the moment being You have to wipe data to go back 8.1. Tried flashing the No wipe BTS package and it was boot loops for breakfast.

Got mine today, came with 7.1, thought it MIGHT update to 8.1 before 9, nope, went right to 9
DO NOT like the new menu structure. Installed Nova, it crashes on launch. So far, NOT impressed with 9.
Phone looks nice, just not the OS's UI.

Did you factory reset after the jump from 7.1 to 9?

Actually I'm getting the hang of it, you have to make a really fast like flick up to not have the launcher move... It takes practice... LOL
Adaptive Brightness not working in Pie, anyone else?
@p51d007, I hear ya, starting to feel like iOS around here... LOL
To be honest, so far working good here, just that darn flicking up fast action needed to get to the windows, without moving the launcher has been the only complaint I have at the moment... Haven't had much time on it, maybe something else will bug me later... LOL

Lineage OS?

Any idea on the status of development for a Lineage OS ROM? Is there anything we could do to help? This phone already have a great battery life but I'm sure it would be even better with a clean ROM without Samsung bloatware.

At this time none

@Le Penguino and @McFy are interested on it so there's an high chance A8 will actually get a working tree, but not in a less amount of time since it's summer now and since to get a really stable tree it needs lots of work and testing, expecially on Exynos lol

for one the design. i love the aosp designs, and im not in favor of samsung experience.
second, the bloatware. too much bloatware in the stock. finally, the great customizing you can do in aosp roms

That sucks a lot since i had this device not by my own will it was a gift and from day one i loved the design rounded corners glass all black and most of the specs camera,ram,battery not the cpu so much but the software omg it suck so much ,i have a nexus 5x with a recent pie beta rom and even for an outdated phone it runs way better,i just wish someone had made a stock rom for this cause the specs are just a shame to throw way.

I would love to get LineageOS on my Samsung A8. I'm sure I'm not alone. Please keep this thread updated with developments.

I am interested too in a version of Lineage OS for the A8 2018. The Smartphone is very good for the price. But Samsung's Software is awful and I love the possibilities to customize the Smartphone with Lineage OS. I am looking forward hearing from the developers!

Oneplus 7 Pro best AOSP ROM

Hello,
I'm new to the Oneplus 7 Pro (not new to rooting) and I was looking for the best AOSP ROM. Would like to know people's opinion which is the best one with no (huge) buggs.

Personally I prefer Havoc OS. I've tried PA quartz 2 and PE ROM but the automatic brightness didn't seem to work for me properly on either of those. Not sure if it was the ROM itself or something I had done incorrectly

New PA Treskmod is out and incredibly stable and has had the best battery on any ROM I've tried. I've used most AOSP and Omni ROMs and have to say this has by far been the best in terms of smoothness and battery. Paired with Neutrino kernel, it's been quite nice. Search in Telegram if interested in viewing the discussion thread for it.
Only 3 builds deep thus far, but haven't encountered any bugs or issues.

Question Custom ROMs for the 6a besides graphene?

I'd like to install a custom ROM on my 6a, and graphene didn't satisfy me, so I'd like to know if anyone's found any others that i could try out lol

Calyx is out, but its kinda simmilar. Lineage 20 will hopefully come next year, which is the one I'm looking forward to

I'm looking at Calyx, and it seems like it would actually work. Graphene didn't work for me because all of the apps it came with were out of date and didn't work right, but given the fact that Calyx uses well known privacy focused apps, it looks like I'll be good to go once they've come out with their Android 13 update lol

Been running Graphene on mine since it dropped. Only issue I've had is some of my games don't play well with it. Software, am I right? /shrug

yea im waiting for custom roms. im getting impatient. im considering buying a pixel 6 or 6 pro so i can have some custom rom love

First of all, they're not out of date. They're the latest from AOSP. Oh, and they DO work right.
Second, if you don't like, that's what makes Android great -- install alternative applications, I suggest from F-droid.

Please don't write things that are demonstrably false. The truth is inverse of what you have written.

To be fair, the graphene apps have a popup that tells you its apps are not meant for your current version of android. Also they're in my opinion painful to look at because they don't comply to the system theme

Just run Stock, you are better off, if you need to optimise just root and debloat, much better alternative to Graphene os or Calyx IMO. if you don't want to root debloat using adb. Best of luck

Id be surprised iif that were the case. Android has changed, but twrp usuallly adapts sooner or later

This thread is custom roms for the 6a. I just posted what i found. didnt mean to upset anyone by mentioning telegram or an actual custom rom. some people like custom roms, like me.

More to the point, custom recovery is pointless when you have fastboot.

Question Lineage OS 20 makes Pixel 7 Pro a much better phone(especially with Nikgapps, core, or basic)

Anyone agree? Performance is better than the stock. And gaming is overall better too. It's basically as if you're having a Pixel 8 DEVICE in the palm of your hand when it's just Pixel 7. I bet if Pixel 8 came out it'd be using lineage os 20 performance and stability. Anyone agree with that too?

One of the biggest set backs are the camera with custom OS
Afaik the camera doesn't perform the same.

it does on pixel phones, its just placebo

Have you tried crDroid? I'm still on November build stock rooted . Debating between that and lineage once I update, curious how they compare

You don't have music search or others features uniques to pixel on LineageOS but you can have them with a module on magisk if I'm not wrong

Lineage OS is great. Battery life is amazing. Performance is solid. And weekly updates via built in updater works fantastic. It's a clean OS ... Doesn't have all the bells and whistles but you can add some via magisk mods ... Overall, if you like a clean AOSP look and feel, you should run this. I've used Lineage since it was first introduced to the Pixel 7 Pro as an alpha then beta and then official .. take it from someone who's used it a lot . There is no ROM like it.

What about the call screening feature on Stock? This is the primary reason I will probably stay with Pixel indefinitely! Better than sliced bread! In fact as much as I hate curved screens (the 7 Pro's is not as bad as some) I will tolerate the curve just to have the phone calls from scammers/spammers, and morons eliminated completely!

So then the app somehow knows it's being run on a Pixel? Maybe it "sees" the Tensor chip? I wonder because why doesn't it work when you install the app on a non-Pixel phone?

Have a question for the op or anyone running lineage OS 20 does this rom work well with Galaxy, or Samsung watches? I mean do they play nice together?

Guys help
installed LOS 20 with full nikgapps, and missed one option - weather under the clock on pixel launcher (there was one option in settings to switch it on on stock rom but missing on LOS rom somewhere in android intelligence settings or something that).
Any suggestions?
