[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] sanoayyk:
Hi I have a problem with changing status bar height with V11.0.4.0 vendor.

Mi 9T/Redmi K20 series has no notch, but with a too fat status bar compared with its status bar icon size, for only wasitng screen area.

Then I found that it can be shrinked by modding overlay from G-Visual Mod. Working with MIUI or custom ROMs until 11.0.2 vendor.

The file attached below is modded apk to set status bar height 18dp. There is no more space wasting in status bar.

You should replace G-visual Mod's SBH overlay with this, and set permission 644.

Even on a phone WITH notch, it can force shrink status bar by a combination with Notch-Killer.

Now upgraded to 11.0.4 vendor, my modded overlay can shift the icons upword, but status bar itself is still so DAMN FAT.

In MIUI, Customiuizer has an option to reduce its height until 21dp. However, I can't figure out how to do with custom ROMs.

Does anyone know the solution for custom ROMs?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] sanoayyk:
OK now I found the solution.

/vendor/overlay/DeviceAndroidOverlay.apk

This file sets statusbar height 35dip.

So I extracted it, changed value to 18dip, then repacked it.

Finally I made a folder inside G-visual Mod to let it put my file in /system/vendor/overlay

Alongside with modded SBH apk, my statusbar is completely shrinked!

great job. where can i download g-visual mod? cant find it in magisk repo
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] sanoayyk:
It sometimes shows on magisk manager's download section and sometimes doesn't:(

For me it is visible now.

Thanks, you using xiaomi.eu?

im on eu rom but 10.3.15, ill try to get it work
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] sanoayyk:
If you are on xiaomi.eu, customiuzer can do the job. No need for my mod.

This is for non miui roms or who want make statusbar even shorter.

BTW currently I'm on MSM-Xtended with vendor downloaded from ROM thread.

Until 11.0.2 just SBH.apk is needed, from 11.0.4 also DevicesAndroidOverlay.apk is needed.

But sorry I've never used such an old rom like miui 10.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] AlPoo:
When going to Android 11 I'd like to keep my device unrooted.

The only things I want to keep is vanced (will install the version w/I magisk) and my Hotspot. I know there's some play store Hotspot apks but I can never get them to work.

Last update the build.prop edit no longer worked, but i found a zip that enabled it from XDA. Believe it needed to be flashed in magisk but not sure.

I intend to try and flash the 11 OTA and just remove -w, hoping I'll keep the Hotspot modification.

If it matters, my SO wanted me to get back into pokemon go and I can't play on a rooted device. Tried magisk hide but that didn't work.

Any advice would be appreciated, cheers.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
You won't be able to keep any Magisk modifications without magisk. The way Magisk works is systemless so it needs to have the Magisk installed to mount the modules over the necessary directories. Also, for Pixels on Android Q and Android R you can't mount the system partitions to even modify them in the first place, so even if Magisk did directly modify the partitions they wouldn't work for devices with our logical partitions.

Pretty sure the way PoGo detects root is by searching for files/folders in your install storage called Magisk, twrp, or various other root names. So I'd suggest making sure those kinds of folders are cleaned out or renamed to something unrelated to root.

Also, Magisk doesn't support R yet so you won't be able to root yet even if you wanted to.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] AlPoo:
Ah. So maybe I should keep the -w in the OTA to make sure to clean out some folder/files.

Didnt know R wasn't supported yet, kinda figured it wouldn't be since it just came out, but thanks for saving the hassle of finding out the hard way.

I've read going through threads here and saw that some people had lost root but kept some modifications after updating. Hoped that would have worked or there'd be able way without root out there that I was unaware of.

Anyway, thanks for the response!
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
Well I just installed PoGo real quick after checking my internal storage and renaming any file/folder with Magisk in the name to remove Magisk, and with Magisk hidden with a random package name and app name and PoGo hidden in magisk hide I was able to successfully log in without it detecting anything. So if you do wish to have modifications once Magisk supports R just make sure to keep an eye on your files/folder names and you should be all good :good:

As for the threads you've been reading, that's definitely curious. Do you know if they were pixel users? Or just people using a GSI or something?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] poncespr:
OTA will not wipe your phone. I updated this way last night from Q, not rooted.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] sic0048:
Just realize that the Android 11 developer release is not designed to be run as a "daily driver". It's a first alpha release and it is going to be full of bugs and incompatibilities.

There is zero reason to install this on anything but a spare phone that you develop on.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] poncespr:
24 hours in. Absolutely zero issues so far.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] sic0048:
Thanks for the progress report....

My comment was directed mainly at the OP. Somehow I don't think he is Google's target audience for the developer build and I am afraid he will be the type that complains or begs for help when things don't work right.

That being said, I am also surprised that the release is running so well...... :eek:
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] poncespr:
No disrespect. Just commenting on my experience.

I am also surprised. Only weird thing was asking to register my sim. I'm guessing it was looking for an esim. Other than that, not a single force close or slow down. But to be honest it doesn't look like a big update as the version number suggest. Feels more like a little spit and polish. Like this should be Android Q 10.1.

I myself gave up rooting. The only two reasons I was rooting were adaway and viper.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
As with most major android updates since Oreo. Most visible changes now are slight UI revisions and some new features.

However, there are a load of under the hood changes being made. Some for the better, some for the worse.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] LordLugard:
Not to thread hijack, (which is what i am going to do anyway, but being POLITE about it ?), can anyone point me to a Hotspot solution for Sprint, without root? All the other various methods/tricks i used in the past that worked, like manually editing the LTE APN etc, just aren't working on this 3aXL.
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] Mr.Nexus:
Hello guys, last night bought a redmi 7. But this i check this cell phone and the MIUI LOCK is unlocked.

I had a brilliant idea to block using adb. And i destroy the system.

I tryed MI PC Suite, I Tryed mi flash is faild(remoite: Update sparse crc list failed), I Tryed in adb fastboot oem unlock, i tryed mi flash unlock and I was unsuccessful.

Did i throw my money in the trash?:eek::crying:
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] H3XUS:
You mean MIUI (System ROM) is gone?
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] Mr.Nexus:
Yes.

The message in Main Menu is ""this miui version can't be installed on this device !
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] H3XUS:
I think you have to flash TWRP in ADB Mode (Volume - and Power button). And in TWRP, connect USB to "computer" then copy MIUI stock rom to SD Card or Internal. Hope it helps.
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] Mr.Nexus:
Thank you guy, but i don't have any idea how to install TWRP in my cell phone. I tryed but have a error:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

target reported max download size of 534773760 bytes

erasing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot erase)

finished. total time: 0.006s

Can you help me ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] Mr.Nexus:
Please, Help !!!
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] ericklawliet:
Maybe the rom is not for redmi 7, check this and try search a rom for the phone.

I buy a redmi 7 root and later i unroot..... the phone had acount of miui and block my new phone, i erase all operative system and installed Twrp (not all Twrp work on this device)

If your phone doesnt work whith miui, try another rom like a Pixel and ¿Aoex?
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] Mr.Nexus:
Guy, I tried to use multiple versions of MIUI. But to no avail.

As I understand it, I need an authorized xiaomi account.

I particularly lost the money. In the past, changing the rom on xiaomi devices was an easy thing, today if there is some kind of problem in the most serious system, you practically lose the device.

Anyone else having trouble with the internet sharing not working? Ive gotten 2 different errors-

1. Can not connect for an unknown reason

2. Connection has been canceled by host provider

Ive tried restarting both the computer and the cellie.... any ideas?

Do you have activesync on the recipient computer? Are you starting internet sharing BEFORE connecting?

[Mogul, XV6800 General] syaoran68:
you have to connect activesync up first and let it sync the phone. once the sync is done then you can initiate the internet sharing. if your on the sero plan you need to have the regedit done first before it will accept the PAM connection

what works for me if starting ICS on the phone, hitting connect (it will then say "Check USB Connection") and plugging in the USB, i have USB connections disabled in activesync so it doesnt connect

i usually have to plug it in and unplug a few times before it work properly

Hey this new update is not that interesting...

Is there any way to go back to pie. I saw how to roll back from Qbeta but there is no information about this can be done with official update C.02

Anyone please help
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 1dopewrx05:
I just flashed the new Android 11 beta on my Pixel 4 to just check out what's new and thought we could have a little discussion about some of the bigger changes and opinions. The changes I immediately am excited about are:

1) Finally added a pause/play gesture to project Soli!! (Works fantastic)

2) In the display settings, there is now a toggle to increase display touch sensitivity for screen protectors

3) Added a new qs icon for the built in screen recording

While testing the new Soli pause/play, I also immediately noticed how much more improved all of the hand gestures are. Not just the new pause, but also the skipping forward and backwards are so much more accurate and successful for me. It's an extremely welcome change and while Soli always worked decent for me, on the 11 beta I'm getting about 95%-99% success on all hand gestures compared to my about 80% on Android 10.

The screen sensitivity is another welcome addition for me personally. I have a glass screen protector and with the new option enabled, I can absolutely feel a difference in display response. I will admit that before updating, I hadn't had any screen responsiveness complaints but now that there's an option to improve it, I am very pleased with the results. If anything, it may be a tiny bit too responsive. While typing this post out, Gboard seems to occasionally hit a letter before I actually make contact with the screen. Other than that, it's fantastic. My back gestures seem to be the most beneficial from this.

The screen recording qs icon is a cool new addition, although I had native screen recording enabled on Android 10, there was no super quick way to start a recording session.

Lastly, I noticed a few new things in developer options but as I'm no Dev, I really don't know what they do. Oh, they did add a screen frame-rate overlay so you can see the current refresh rate of your screen.

I will be running this for a few days to see if and how battery life is affected and I'll post my findings here. Feel free to comment additional findings or opinions on the new Android 11 beta!

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 1dopewrx05:
Yes it didn't give me a single issue. Are you not able to?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Ashray_Vk:
Nope, not able to :(
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 1dopewrx05:
Strange, I haven't heard of this being an issue for anyone else yet. I even dirty flashed the 11 beta, didn't erase my userdata so I was expecting issues and it's been flawless. Try re-flashing the Android 11 factory image, that we almost certainly fix your issue.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Ashray_Vk:

Yeah, Google pay does not work on it. I received a pop up about it earlier this morning.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Flippy125:
For those having face unlock setup issues: Factory reset your phone either in recovery or the settings menu. This happens when you don't clear face unlock before flashing a factory image with the -w option.

[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] Bernbacher:
Hello,

I just bought an unbranded Motorola G7 and tried to unlock the bootloader. In the developer's settings, the option to unlock OEM is greyed out. Nevertheless, I tried to move forward and got the unlock code from Motorola after sending them my unlock data, but unlocking fails, and fastboot complains about the "OEM unlock" setting (I put in some Xs into the codes below):

bernbacher@CARTMAN:~$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
...

...
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer
(bootloader) Options
OKAY [ 0.003s]
finished. total time: 0.003s

The phone is new. I have not put in a SIM-Card, I just connected to WiFi and installed the Android update. I did not set up a google account or personalized the phone in any other way. As some sites suggest to delete the google account on the phone before unlocking the bootloader, confirmed that the account list is empty.

I live in Brazil, so the phone may have some regional differences, but there are several Brazilian sites that show that unlocking should work, and there is a Brazilian youtube video of a G7 where OEM unlocking is demonstrated (see the PS below). As I said, the phone is unbranded and - according to the vendor - not locked to any operator.

As I got the unlock code from Motorola, I wonder if the greyed out option to unlock OEM is due to something I am missing or if this is an expected behaviour for, e.g., vendor locked phones.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Bernbacher

PS:

Youtube video: As a new forum member, I cannot post the link here. In case you want to have a look, search for "Como desbloquear o Bootloader do Moto G7" and go to 2 minutes, 29 seconds. In Portuguese, the option is called "Desbloqueio de OEM."

PPS:

I am on Debian Buster and use adb and fastboot from my distribution. As communication via adb and fastboot seems to work and as the directory structure of the phone mounts I assumed that I was all set and did not install any particular Motorola drivers.
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] Bernbacher:
I did some further search, and there are several people saying that you would have to wait for a week for the OEM unlock to work. Unfortunately, I could only find sites in Portuguese, nothing in English. Has anybody ever heard of that? Is this credible information?
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] sd_shadow:
Yes some people have reported that greyed out oem unlock changed after a few days.

You could try a factor reset.
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] Bernbacher:
Thanks a lot for confirming that some devices have a waiting time.

Here in Brazil, consumer protection regulations give me one week to return a faulty device. And according to the Brazilian sites that mention this waiting period I have to keep the phone turned on for exactly one week. Honi soit qui mal y pense :D .

Best regards,

Bernbacher
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] Bernbacher:
Last night, OEM unlock turned active. In my case, it took less than a week. So the problem is solved.

Best regards,

[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] tanto_faz:
I was able to solve the problem two days ago. Before the option was locked when I tried to shut down, but then I found that to unlock this option, just install the magisk that will appear again to turn on or off the bootloader.

Eu consegui resolver o problema a 2 dias. Antes a opção ficava bloqueada quando eu tentava desligar, mas depois descobri que para desbloquear essa opção, é só instalar o magisk que vai aparecer novamente para ligar ou desligar o bootloader.
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] WoKoschekk:
That's quite normal because Magisk fixes the verity state of your device.

But that is not possible with a locked bootloader. And that was the question of this thread.
