Open apps for notification light ? - Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers

Hi and thanks for all : I have a Pixel 4a with LineageOS 19.1 everything works perfectly !!!
Only one thing missing on the Pixel 4a: the notification led. There are several apps available on google store to use part of the screen as a notification led. But I try as much as possible to find free alternatives available on F-Droid. However I did not find any...
Do you have an idea?
Thank you for your help!

Pixel 2 launcher for non-rooted Pixel 1?

Hey everybody,
There are some threads that contain the pixel 2 launcher apk and I have tried to install it without rooting and deleting the original pixel launcher but no success. Is there's anyways I can install the pixel 2 launcher without rooting my device?
Thanks in advance.
I side loaded this and have been running it for the past week without issue.

Just install the APK over your existing pixel launcher... It's just an updated version so you don't need to delete anything ... Same with the 5.0 camera app that allows for the new hdr advance and motion capture for pictures... ( Only problem now is the play store will update to 5.1 which disables the extra features in pixel 1s ...

I can confirm that this works 100%

Can you clarify, please? What features and what triggers the update?

The features he listed in the portion of the quote that you didn't quote
A newer version available in the Play Store will trigger an update, and if you have Auto Update turned on, it happens automatically.
Hmm I just installed and even with my black wallpaper I'm still getting the white theme in the app drawer, settings, etc.

I don't even want the new launcher, I think it looks worse than the old one... but I am a little annoyed that Google seem to be holding back features that would work perfectly fine on the first gen pixels just to keep them exclusive. Mostly I am referring to the camera. Seems a bit poor to screw over people who spent lots of money on their hardware 12 months (or less) ago.

Correct, the black background in the app drawer is currently a P2 only thing.

Want to buy a vivo nex, couple of questions

How bad is the os? i understand i can only install a third party launcher in the global version. I saw this one in amazon https://www.amazon.com/Snapdragon-A...C6/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= could anyone tell me if it's the global version or not? Also, could i use substratum on it?. Also, is it possible to modify the swipe from the bottom for settings ? is the screen as good as the note 8? (phone i currently own). How good are the cameras? does the assistant button trigger google assistant on the global version? thanks everyone
Hi. I am using vivo nex s global and first thing i installed was nova launcher. It's more comfortable for me. I can't compare display with note 8 but i heard it is very similar. AI button can be set to Google assistant. And to that cameras: selfie camera is good but not the best and main cameras are somwhere between iphone 7 and iphone 8. Especially in low light

I don't have any problems or complaints with Funtouch. I have yet to use other launchers, but if I did, I'd probably would have complaints as I would've conformed to the other launcher.
The picture below shows the bottom slide up menu using gestures. The red circle shows settings icon when you slide up to access this menu. You can't assign a gesture for settings, but you can switch gesture location from left to right.
Reading the questions about playstore, seller says it can be installed. Global version comes with it pre-installed. Also seller says nova can't be used. I think it's Chinese version and not global, I'd avoid.

2-button navigation bar for 4a?

I'm trying to enable the Android Pie-style 2-button ("Pill") navigation for my 4a (rooted, on Android 10), and I have tried the PieNav.zip Magisk module on XDA with no luck. Magisk doesn't give me any error when flashing but upon restart the module is not there, not does it take effect. I used to use a Pixel 4 XL and it worked back then. Anyone knows any workaround? Please share if you do ? Cheers!
Edit: used the Pixel4_2ButtonNav_v1.0.zip instead and it worked like a charm.

Edit: updated to Android 11 and still works
That's so cool, thanks for highlighting the mod. I have been struggling with the new gestures, both sides of the screen, and the bottom in use for navigation has made using gestures within apps really difficult..
Dirty unicorns has all 3 options as well

Questions About Using Lineage OS 18.1 on Pixel 3

Greetings,
So I've successfully installed Lineage OS 18.1 Nightly and it runs really well. I've got the NikGapps Core and Magisk installed. Was able to add the apps I like from Google Play store and used the free or open source alternatives I could find for others.
I have a few questions for anyone using Lineage since I'm not sure if these are bugs or design choices or parts of Android 11.
Any clarification would be great. Basically, there's a few things I noticed that are different/don't seem to operate normally.
I can upload screenshots if necessary but let me give you the cliff notes of what I'm experiencing:
-No labels on the home screen icons, even though setting says "Show labels on desktop". Is this me interpreting something incorrectly?
-All icons on the home screen and app drawer appear to have a white background... should be transparent?
-The default sms messaging app always shows quick replay phrases despite turning off the setting "Always suggest quick actions/replies" in the notifications menu
-There is no way to turn off suggested apps... when you use an app it places it in a new section at the top of the app drawer. Looks like the menu setting is missing (there in vanilla A11).
-There is no built in volume limited. This was on my stock Galaxy S7 so if it is an OEM thing I understand. Perhaps you have a suggestion?
-Notifications from the default sms messaging app do not pop up over other on screen elements (specifically fullscreen video in Brave). Does this have to do with the "Bubbles" setting under notifications?
-Screen automatically dims/sleeps when watching fullscreen video (again in Brave)... happens inconsistently and going in/out of fullscreen seems to stop it from happening again.
-There is no swype ability on the keyboard. I assume this is a OEM keyboard setting or something.. is there an alternate keyboard you would recommend (open source, free) that won't steal your info/privacy violations?
-Last thing which is more of a question than anything else, since I cannot install a stable twrp, I used the Lineage OS recovery. It doesn't seem to have a backup/restore function. So is there a way for me to, with the setup I currently have, to do a complete and full backup? By this I mean like capture an image of all the partitions as they currently are, as you would with a PC.
Sorry for n00b but the last unlocked rooted custom rom I ran was Cyanogen back on a Motorola Photon. Thank you in advance, any input or clarification is much appreciated as you are a helpful, insightful bunch here.
