Hello, I have this Vivo phone and the only problem I have is when I set Nova launcher as default launcher in the front screen is fine the resolution but in the back screen is smaller than all screen. I tried with diferents launchers but only with funtouch launcher can rescale and show all back cover screen while with anothes launchers its smaller resolution. Has you seen? The system cant overscale the others launchers resolutions for back screen I think :confused:

Got yesterday my dual display version Chinese version 10/128.

First impression compered to Vivo Nex Chinese version is that out of the box has much less pre installed Chinese bloatware.

Later I will do detail thoughts and feedback about this unique device.

You should do the same thing,talk with them otherwise they wouldn't think of fixing it.

I'm only aware and using Facebook massenger.

There's email also but I'm not aware of it.

Btw they answer and told me that that's the way it works only stock launcher and stock app have full screen area support and not able to support third party launcher and app.

Well actually it's not such an issue since secondary display majority of users and almost 98% will be used for selfie and stock camera app support full screen support.

For all the other dozens of usage people will use and take advantage of the main display.

Biggest issue is that Whatsapp does not support reply option through notification center pull down.

It's really annoying and told me that gone fix it in next software update.

This is issue with Chinese version I don't know if occur in global or not.

[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Since there's no dedicated thread of dual display version here is XDA and much less users have the device in western world there's a Vivo dedicated forum that we can find useful info and feedback from chinese users(im using automated translate page option in Chrome desktop to english)

http://bbs.vivo.com.cn/forum-376-1.html

For example here's a topic made by user mention the issue with secondary diplay and third party app.

http://bbs.vivo.com.cn/thread-4238902-1-4.html

Here's official responce from Vivo support about that matter.

"At present, there are still more third-party software that cannot be displayed in full screen. It is necessary to wait for the software to adapt, and we will actively promote third-party software adaptation."
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
After 3 whole days owning the Chinese version of Dual Display let's talk about my observations.

1.Screen is at good level,having nice color and being crisp and vibrant, also smaller bottom chin than Vivo Nex S, but it's not as bright as Vivo Nex S,also white tone has some slight uniformity with pinkish effects,while Vivo Nex has excellent white tone all across the screen.

2 Battery life seems at very good level despite smaller capacity(don't forget has smaller screen also compared to nex S)it's not top level like Vivo Nex but I doubt would anybody been disappointed.

Vivo has very good battery management and efficient software.

3.The mono speaker of Dual Display it's louder and having better quality.

4. The performance of calling receipt it's also a bit better with louder tone and clarity.

5. The device feels much comfortable in hand and much easier of working with one hand.

6. In display finger sensor it's very accurate and very fast of recognized your finger.

It's some milliseconds faster than Vivo Nex S performance.

7. I didn't had time for testing the camera performance so I can't tell how it perform.

That's my observations from hardware aspects.

Let's talk about software

1. For my positive surprised Vivo maintain the option of battery saver mode at location setting despite most oem follow Google guideline of removing that option with Android Pie.

2.Also Vivo add saperate ringing sound alarm from notification sound alarm in sound settings just like Samsung and LG offering today.

Respect to Vivo for adding such useful option.

3. Unfortunately Vivo has not improve AOD functionality at all.

No any kind third-party app notification support.

Really bad and shameful for them.

4. Fortunately all custom themes I use with my Vivo Nex S working brilliantly with dual display also.

5. There's a major whatsapp bug by not having any reply option through notification center.

I've talked with them and planing to fix it with future update.

Not much has changed with Fantouch 4.5 compared to 4.0 in UI look and feels.

That’s the most important parts of the device observation from my own personal view and compared to Vivo Nex S.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Twotems:
Does the front have a lip? It doesn't look like it protects the screen.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
It does have a small highly gap so when putting the devices upside-down screen does not touch the surface.

The main screen does not have that protection.

Here's better viewings angle with secondary screen.

Hello friends, ARCore is not working in Next dual edition China version. Anyother method to sideload modified version. I saw Google post that global version is compatible with AR core but chinease version not. Any help appreciated. Is there any method to root?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Really strange since Vivo Nex S Chinese version is compatible with ARCORE.

Maybe in future time will be since Vivo Nex S was not at beginning but later get ARCORE support.

Personaly I don't care about that features it's useless to me.

BTW One issue had with Chinese dual display was that not getting notification with Gmail and Outlook app but only when checking manual and fortunately when switched to AquaMail or Blue Mail app all working brilliantly.

Also another negative is that all third party music player like Power Amp,Player Pro,N7 Player Pro does not support Luna ring notification light when listening music.

Only stock music player support which is bummer.

I will talk to Vivo support and hope future update resolve that.

[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Saloei:
Three things for getting notifications to work - sometimes!

1. Settings\Status bar and notification\Manage notification - select your app from the list and enable all notifications from there. Also if you see Notification, select and enable.

2. Settings\Battery\High background power consumption - Enable the app you're having notification problems from the list.

3. Settings\More settings\Applications\Installed - select app from the list - After you select the app from the list go to Permissions\Single Permission Settings\ select and enable Autostart, Floating window, Display on lock screen, Background pop-ups.

Actually i didn't test Funtouch 9 at all.

Simple pulled out since i don't find current beta testing program useful to me.

For example the high expectations dark mode is actually half baked and bad implementation.(i would had prefer top be truly black theme)

And also most visual changes are Chinese related and not any useful to me.

I will wait the official stable version and shall see what gone do.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Well today received the second open beta of Funtouch 9 and deside to pull the trigger and upgrade after all.

Dirty upgrade over previous Funtouch 4.5 version,not clean install and only extra movement did is clear cache from recovery menu nothing more.

The most visual change is that we have now 4 more fingerprint animation.

Also dark mode but I don't like it at all.

It's actually dark gray but I'm only prefer truly black theme.

Half beked implementation,I've already talked to Vivo support and told them to add truly black theme support just like most OEM offers today.

So I'm continuing using my custom black theme as before and not using native dark gray theme.

Fingerprint sensor works as good as before both accuracy and speed performance.

Now we have also May security patches from April previous official stable Funtouch 4.5.

As for battery life we shall see next couple of days.

General impression and feelings from Funtouch 9 few hours is that too much hype for the nothing,only added fingerprint animation it's worth from the new Funtouch 9 no any other positive new feature.

I would expect Vivo add support third-party app notification on AOD but that unfortunately didn't happened.

Where you got this case?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Saloei:
I don't see myself getting another VIVO phone considering they're now selling them with the waterfall edge screens, which I see as a gimmick with no useful purpose. But I have to say this has been a solid performer off and in my hands. I've dropped it three times(solid surfaces) since I got it in June in the year of its release and all it shows is a indentation on the corner metal bezel with no screen cracks.

I like how you can turn off the camera shutter sound; the single button record when it's off, and the two-way phone recording. This phone was designed for spying. Hey it's a Chinese phone! I'll get another VIVO with this screen size when they use a flat screen. For now, this phone is solid.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
From eBay but it's not available any more from the seller.

You are lucky,mine device from August last year the second screen stopped turn on on for unknown reason.

It was functional for example touchscreen gestures was working but only getting black screen,never turn on.

Phone never dropped,never liquid,and only 2-3 months light usage did.

And the worst part sent device to seller at Germany location as I'm in Europe (tradingshenzhen.com was the seller) in order to go to China and Vivo service center to be repaired and guess what,we are mid of February 2020 almost 5 months and still they don't have any clue when my device will be returned.

Horrible and totally frustrated service support by tradingshenzhen.com they even advertising that offer 1 year warranty but seems they can't handle it.

Total unprofessional and unreliable behavior from them.

570 euro device cost is on air and probably never get it back.

So from now on never purchase any smartphone if not having official service support in Europe and Vivo is out of my choice in future.

Yes, I've got the Global Dual Display, got in February last year.

I've tried a couple of other camera apps in case it was a software limitation, but I haven't managed to get any to do 4K at 60FPS. I'm pretty sure the limit is the camera hardware itself.

Other phone with same hardware (cpu SD845/camera sensor imx363) like xiaomi mi 8/mi mix 2s/mi mix 3 or htc 12 or asus zenfone 5z can take 4k 60fps videos so i'm pretty sure it's not hardware limit but system software limit that doesn't leave other camera apps to do it too :confused:

I've installed Magisk on my AOSP 5.1 successfully and it's running great. But installing Xposed Framework as Magisk module causes my phone to bootloop. It gets stuck on bootanimation and nothing happens. I tried the updated Xposed 89 for any device and also specifically for SDK 22. But I'm getting the same result. BOOTLOOP. :(

Before Magisk, I had no problem with using Xposed with SuperSU. It was all smooth.

And I've cleanly switched to Magisk without any issue and other Magisk modules work. But the Xposed one doesn't.

Any solution??
