[General Questions and Answers] Mohamedkam000:
Hiding notch ain't that effective, and you lose some of your screen doing so.

Your screen is a rounded AMOLED, that's hardware, it also has software roundness in order to be compatible with your screen. It's not that hard to disable roundness, for hardware, you can overcome it by "wm size", and you can change DPI by: "wm density xxx" to your desired value.

The software overcoming needs APK editing, so you need a PC/Laptop. You need to edit framework-res.apk (and maybe SystemUI.apk). There's an app that allows you to edit framework-res.apk values directly, you may want to check it:

Privset.
[General Questions and Answers] essen33:
Thank you, its actually LCD, on Redmi note 9 pro, Thank you for commands above, when i screenshot something it appears rectangle, so in theory it should work and rounded edges should not be there

Well for that APK stuff, does installing custom ROM help in that? I was thinking about RR rom,

Also, i dont mind losing screen size, and for me hiding notch is a must doing it this way, personally i hate it, i hate rounded edges, i just hate it my heart hurts when i see it, i got this phone as gift so i need to appreciate it i cant sell/replace it that way its kinda disrespectful
[General Questions and Answers] Mohamedkam000:
Oh sorry, I assumed it being a budget killer to offer an AMOLED display similar to RN10.

Well .. having LCD makes it a bit different, as the parts you cut off from your display will keep lightening up, that's how LCD displays work.

Honestly, you'll hate it more, it'll be like watching a long video on YouTube without fullscreen mode.

Strange tradition you've got right there, here, we're more understanding, if someone gifted you a phone, it won't matter if you sold it or replaced it, what matters is the feelings you've grown out of his gift.

About the APK stuff, it can be done on any ROM, but it's more stable on AOSP-based ROMs like RR, Havoc, PE, ...

An easy way to achieve your goal would be to use adb wm size, and reduce height. (There's another thing to do, adjust the new touch positions; cause your phone will keep using old positions, so if you're using gestures, it won't work that simple, till you recalculate it. (Easy to solve).
[General Questions and Answers] essen33:
Well its a family gift so if i sell it it would be toxic "you didnt like my gift" , iam about to flash RR, so i will look into that, i dont mind having background light on unused part of screen, well how if you dont mind, your tips on recalculating touch positions, i found some googling around, what you recommend, thanks alot
[General Questions and Answers] Mohamedkam000:
Okay, so a year ago, I had Galaxy S7 that got some water issues, so the bottom part of screen wasn't working, and I was using on-screen navigation bar, so I used ADB wm commands to make the phone usable until it dries up.

What I did was, reducing screen height up to the usable part. Then, I used: adb wm overscan command.

This command tells the system where is the screen end, whether at top, bottom, right, or left. So if your bottom screen is reduced by 2 cm, you'll have to tell your system about that, so that it don't assume it's still at the actual hardware values.

The command uses numbered values separated by commas like this (original values):

wm overscan 0,0,0,0

The numbers are organised LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM

You can use minus too, I honestly don't remember which numbers were suitable for my case, you'll have to check it on your own (won't take over 10 minutes). Only change TOP & BOTTOM values.

Who knows, maybe you won't need to do this anymore, perhaps Android 11's AI does that automatically whenever changing screen resolution.

Format data and start again or flash stock rom via fastboot boot phone to welcome screen and then you can flash twrp etc

[CLOSED][Android][UNSAMLOCK] Bootloader Unlock for Samsung US/Canada Devices

Important notice: If you are already updated post February 2021, do not update to April 2023 security update (XXXXXXXXXXWCX) or later. Examples: G998USQS6EWCA, N986USQU4HWD1. Samsung has patched the bootloader unlock again on those updates...

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
So considering you just switched back to Android, you more than likely won't be able to root this phone if you've ever updated it since March. If you bought it after that, then it already comes with that update =/.

Long story short, if you live in the US, there's no point to buying a Samsung device anymore as they're disallowing custom development (which is among my favorite things about Android)... I essentially got this phone just after a hospital release from an sTBI. Due to the accident, I hadn't looked into what Samsung had been doing since my last Samsung device (which was the Note 3). But unfortunately, they've been stepping away from everything that impressed a nerd like me, lol. So I'm essentially never going back to Samsung once two years pass, haha. I'm probably going to get a device that actually allows for customization in the US....so basically any other company, but I'll probably be going back to the Pixel lineup as the upcoming one is the first ever Pixel in a LOOONG time to get a completely new camera module. So I'm assuming that the image processing system has gotten a massive update as well and that that phone might just take some absolutely outstanding photos.

Not possible, if you want the same bands as the Poco F3 you need to buy the Poco F3.

Each region specific model has a different modem hardware, you cannot do anything via software mods if the hardware does not support the bands.

Otherwise, we would have all just gotten the Redmi K40 with China rom when it came out and flash it with Global rom once released then unlock the bands via software mods.

Cheaper doesn't always means better. K40 will be the best option but its not available.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] wiltingenthusiasm:
[Apologies for being a noob, I tried my best to do the homework]

I want to buy a used Pixel 2 (or Pixel 3). There is some general advice on the internet reminding to check:

(i) for physical damage

(ii) if ESN / IMEI has been blacklisted

(iii) if the device is compatible with a carrier (communication standard, uses SIM and not e-SIM, not carrier locked)

(iv) and warning that the device can break or become blacklisted after the purchase.

All of the above is associated with a risk, which is limited to the amount of money paid.

But my primary concern is the risk from using the second-hand device where privacy is critical (email, online banking, 2FA through SMS). How do I make sure the previous owner hasn't planted a backdoor? If I trust Google, what are the reasonable steps to ensure that the device hasn't been tampered with by someone else? In particular:

(1) How do I check on Pixel 2 that the firmware, bootloader, OS are the original ones?

(2) If the device had been bootloader unlocked and/or rooted, is it possible to restore the original images, re-lock the bootloader to be confident that no one (but Google) will spy on me?

(3) Is there anything I am missing?

(4) Which of these are probably different on Pixel 3 and should be asked on Pixel 3 forum?

I barely understand the difference between the bootlocker and the recovery, and I would appreciate clear answers very much.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] kodina:
Reboot the phone, and see if the yellow exclamation mark comes up saying the bootloader was modified.

If you don't see that, it means the Pixel 2 bootloader was never unlocked and a custom ROM was never flashed to the device.

Since all Pixel 2 phones would be out of warranty now, the only way to ensure security is to flash a trusty ROM yourself.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] wiltingenthusiasm:
Thanks for you response, but I am not sure I understand the last bit. Do you mean I would have to flash a trusty ROM myself because there are no certified service centres that would accept the phone, as the warranty has expired? Or do you mean that there are no automatic updates or supported ROMs because of the end of life or something?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] wiltingenthusiasm:
up!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] kodina:
No, I mean even if the bootloader is locked, even if the original owner never flashed a custom ROM, the device (in theory) could still have had been rooted in the past, unknown apps installed, root removed and you would never know. Hoewever, this is all in theory, but it is possible, and only applies if you are paranoid about security.

Otherwise, reboot the phone, no bootlaoder warning = 99% safe to use.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] wiltingenthusiasm:
Oh, I see. And a factory reset would not help either, because it does not recover the OS from a reserve copy whose integrity can be ensured, but simply deletes all user data and extra apps, while keeping the rest, which could have been compromised via root access. Therefore, there is no guarantee that the factory reset via bootloader really gets the device to the "factory state". Is that correct?

[Many thanks for your explanation.]
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] kodina:
In theory, because I have not ready any news, articles, guides or forum threads where people are claiming they have done it.

So, the only option to ensure things are 1% safer, is to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM yourself, trusting that the ROM dev didn't put anything weird in it. Though, as far as I checked, none of the OFFICIAL ROMs for Pixel 2 have a history of putting in something bad.

So, if you want 100% stability, use the default google ROM after a factory reset, but if you want """more""" security, unlock the bootloader and flash the ROM yourself.
