Hi,
Is there a way to fix navbar split screen icon not showing when split screen is active without clean flash?
My navbar is still showing single square icon rather than double rectangle icon when doing split screen.
I don't know what is the cause, just realize it after completely done setting up my device. I did clean flash with gapps aroma and opt to remove several built-in app. I also root with Magisk 16 and enable magisk hide which i know has issue can't choose chrome stable as webview in Developer Settings. Xposed is not installed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
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.
After days of searching for a way to force proper full screen mode WITHOUT the thick black bar I finally found one. However, it puts all notification/status icons already on the left under the camera. I'm so close to a perfect solution but this one thing is in my way.
Ideally I'd like to move all icons right but messing with the padding might be a good plan B.
Please help. It's driving me mental.
If you are referring to any notification icon and/or the clock, there really isn't any way to move those without doing a bunch of work on a rooted device creating your own theme basically. Also what thick black bar are you talking about for fullscreen? the bars are only present if whatever is being displayed isn't a 20:9 ratio. so any 16:9 (like most 1080p) media will get the bars. but everything else should be full screen by ensuring Setting>Display>Advanced>Front camera display area is on the right setting.

That's disappointing.
I have managed to move the clock to the right with edXposed via Gravitybox. It's just notifications now. Don't suppose you'd know if it's possible to disable the icons but still have notifications for those apps show up in the notification drop-down?
And that camera display area, when enabled, is the black bar I'm talking about. It's unsightly and a waste of space. Using the mod I found, all apps but Ookla Speed Test fill the ENTIRE to screen beautifully with no essential UI elements blocked by the camera. Landscape or portrait.

Only thing I can think of for the notifications is make them all "Other" instead of important. you would have to do that per app and per notification type that each app shows. Long clicking them in the drop down gives you the option to change it there. But that also means you need to enable "important and other notifications" on lock screen if you want them to show up there.; however, I can't find a way to allow "other" notifications to display on the Ambient display. I do use the AOD notify app and that could be a nice workaround for that as that will still light up for notifications that are labeled as "other" over the Ambient display and you can then color code each app to what you want.

Thanks for the tip. I changed the media apps I use to not important and that seems to have taken care of my issue for the most part.
Its not a perfect solution but it's the best and most helpful so far. Thank you, mate.

Hey @shadowofdeth, I have bought the OP8 recently and I too wish to reduce the height of the status bar(I don't mind the punch hole using the app space since most apps have the logo only at the top left). You said you have used a mod to reduce the space. Was it the edXposed or is it something else? Thanks in advance
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.
I want to completely hide the front camera on Pixel Plus UI. The preset display cutout options (in dev options) don't hide it. I also tried "none display cutout" magisk module, which just removes a small portion on top. custom resolution on adb shell (wm size 1080x2200) works, but it removes touch functionality from the removed portion of the screen (aka cant drag down the notification bar) I could fix that (supposedly) with "wm overscan", but that command is not available on Android 11 (thanks google)
I really hate seeing the front camera and the phone is way too tall anyway. So its 2 birds with 1 stone if I manage to essentially start the screen from the bottom of the front camera and down.
Anyone found a way to do it on AOSP? It seems to be an option in MIUI, but not in custom roms.
