I am currently running CM7.1, but my only gripe is how plain and boring the call screen is. I know there is an alternative in the market (Full Screen Caller ID) , but I was wondering if it's possible to port the call screen from MIUI or newer sense roms to an AOSP rom or if there are any other options.
I never use Location service or GPS, unless specifically running Navigation with Maps, other than that, it's always off to save battery life.
The lock screen is killing the look and feel of this phone for me. The lock screen wallpaper seems very dark, and that weather thing showing "unavailable" is always shown. Samsung, and everyone else allows the weather to be set manually by imputing a specific city name or zip code, why does HTC need the location service enabled to do the weather ? Plus why is the lock screen so dark, compared to the home screen wallpaper ? it's like 75% darker on the lock screen.
Plus it's also hard to keep a specific wallpaper set on the lock screen, seems to be if you change the home screen wallpaper, the lock screen changes to the same.
I wish we could just keep it simple like CM13

For one if you want the weather displayed you need to check Auto detect my location, you can set the update schedule. Don't use Location or GPS oh well.
The lock screen is an ovelay so the pin/number keyboard can be seen on any wallpaper, it has always been like that, its dark for a reason.
If you make you own theme, you can set each wallpaper for home screen, apps screens, app drawer, messages and lockscreen.
Wait for a partially working CM13 ROM.
I just upgraded to Android 9 from 8.1 and when I receive an email, it shows a snippet on the lock screen just like v8.1 but the text is centered. Is there a way to change this and make it normal?
Could you give a screen shot ? Not sure what you mean , are you on stock ?
I upgraded to Android Q DP1 yesterday through OTA and noticed the double-tap-to-check-phone feature now always displays the full lockscreen including wallpaper. Same thing for lift-to-check-phone. In Pie, it used to show ambient display first when double tapped. I have the Always On Display disabled. Is this a bug?

Yes, the "Double-tap to check phone" and "Lift to check phone" options are still there, and when enabled those actions still wake the screen, but the wake behaviour has changed, which is what I'm wondering about. When woken, it now shows the full lock screen rather than the ambient display (black background and dark theme) that used to show up in Pie.

Ohhh...ok I know what you mean now. Personally, I like it the way it is now in Q.

It's down to personal preference for sure. I wish they would've made that wake behaviour configurable if it's not a bug.
I wish the same too even in full 10 release they didn't change this behaviour
It's better to wake the ambient display than to wale the whole phone in case you need to check nots.
:good:
Hey all!
I am glad too see somebody else also noticed it. I absolutely adore the clean design and funcionality of Pixel's AOD, but the changed funcionality of double-tap to wake (from waking AOD to waking the whole screen) annoys me. I even rolled back from Q beta to Pie hoping they would not implement this change in stable release. Now in order to see AOD you need to have it on constantly, which actually drains some 1% battery per hour (that actually makes it some 15-20 over a working day's period and is actually quite substantial.), also during the night. I also don't stare at the phone all the time to need AOD all that time - a gentle tap to peek the time, weather and notifications is just enough - I see some of you would agree.
Is there any way we can appeal to Google similar to OnePlus's feedback section?
Hey, has it also become iOS like?
I hate whole iOS lock screen turning on. What a shame
I spent time factory resetting my phone thinking that the missing ambient display settings were a bug, I never thought Google would remove that functionality. The language under the "Lock Screen Settings" sounds similar, but they don't do the same thing since now it just wakes the entire screen. Real bummer that Google keeps removing features.
Yeah, it seem they went almost full iOS on this And it was so good: tap twice - AOD shows, tap twice again on that AOD - the lock screen shows. Why Google, why! At least give us an option to schedule when the AOD can be turned off automatically (like at some hours at night).
And to think I bought the Pixel just a week ago to finally taste the stock Android. It is good, no doubt here (and the phone size and general style is very refreshing from thos behemoths I used from Sammy, OP or Huawei), but OnePlus seems much more thoughtful and practicality-oriented. And what is the more important the pledges from the OnePlus community actually work quite often which I don't expect with Google somehow.
I'm fine with it. Not a big deal.

Hi,
if loaded LineageOS 17.1 onto my S9, so far I'm quite happy with it.
But one thing is annoying me quite a lot. The lock screen clock just doesn't disappear EVER...... on the S7 the clock widget only appeared when I tapped the screen or it had "recognized" some major brightness (e.g. pulling it out of a bag/etc.)
Is there any option/setting I'm missing to tweak that? Or can I even mess around with the actual config itself?
Thanks for your input and help
