I don't quite know what the thing is called. That's basically my question:
Can the pull-down connectivity bar at the top that allows you to quickly turn on or off wifi, Bluetooth and GPS as well as switch between vibration and ring tone be installed on a Sense ROM?
I've encountered it on CyanogenMod 6.1.1 and rather liked it. Unfortunately, I prefer some of the HTC Sense functionality, so I switched back to the stock ROM (after learning how to uninstall uninstallable apps, that is ). But the stock does not have this bar. Where it would normaly be, there is only my network provider's name and a delete button for the messages.
How do I get this functionality back?
Regards and thank you,
it's built into the framework of a rom. If you want the feature then I suggest you install a rom with it or just use the power widget thing
Seriously? The only option is a widget? That's sad.
Afraid so, the widget notification bar thing is one of the tweaks and features Cyanogen put in CM. It is quite handy.
Back when I had my Evo there were devs making flashable zips for notification pull down controls for this so I'd assume they're around for the G2 as well. On the Evo it required a Deodexed ROM though so you might as well just flash one that already has em in it at that rate.
Hmmm... I'm just warming up to the Virtuous ROM so I don't think using Cyanogen again will be an option.
Ah, what the heck, whether I pull down the menu or scroll to the right once doesn't matter much, does it .
Thanks for the replies .
Hi everyone!
I can't seem to find any reference here how to activate the Softkey/Navbar of this phone? If you happen to know how, please do let me know.
thanks.
So you want to waste screen for something we already have as hw feature!?
you seem to imply that your definition of "waste" is somehow objective.
IMO, your reply above is a "waste". Why? because it has no value.
Please be respectful on your comments
Taking it the wrong way... And it is a waste... Why do you think people are trying to get rid of it and you are the only one who wants it...
Good luck with that...
Sigh... another wasteful reply from you. NOT all people are trying to get rid of it. Do some research first.
I think you can do this, but need to root your phone.
check http://en.miui.com/thread-27328-1-1.html
Tried it. Unfortunately it didn't work. Thanks though.
navbar or softkey,, that's subjective!!
everyone is different
I prefer navbar..
that is costumizable
not like that softkey,, the looks isn't costumizable.. that glowing softkey is ugly af
IMO
you can argue
but that will not solve our friends above's problem
here you are:
as im using MIUI and some other ROM,, i never be able to activate softkey
with all method all over internet
then i try custom rom,, RR
that is had option to enable navbar
the only thing bother me alot is
1. you can't completely disable softkey,, but xposed addition do,, if you want
2. when you succes disable it,, you can use some app to disable the led of sotkey
3. but you can't disable haptic feedback in softkey,, the only thing i tried is xposed vibration tuner,, to disable ALL vibration on phone..
so you can't completely use vibration
i've never find another solution
that best i can do to DISABLE that softkey
please share here to EVERYONE WANTED and SUCCESS do this
that will be appreciated
BY THE ONE WANTED TO
and please,, everyone that just want to argue or insult,, about the things that not relevant to the QA,, kindly dont post here
Regards
someone fond of NAVBAR
Thanks qzxi. I'm using RR now. I have yet to check the xposed addition, maybe later.
Btw, do you have a non xposed solution to making the navbar transparent? I'm using flat style color bars now for that.
I'm using gravity box to turn the led off for the capacitive buttons as well for the vibrate.
Hello, I ordered a Xiaomi Mi Max, great phone, I`m waiting impatiently. To activate soft keys in the nav bar you can edit the line in /system/build prop, must be rooted, there`s a line that says;
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 (if 0 put 1, if 1 put 0).
replace that file and give permissions 644 with Rootexplorer.apk for example. With roms cyanogenmod based it works. To deactivate the HW keys you must edit certain files in /system/usr/keylayout but really I don`t know exactly
Hello @SubwayChamp, unfortunately that didn't work for me when i was still using MIUI 8. thanks though
You can try Simple Control.apk from Play Store, in mine works.
Simple control is not really what i am looking for.
It's not an alternative a replacement to NAVBAR. it might be an alternative but not a replacement.
btw, there is a builtin function in MIUI that functions the same as simple control, if i recalled correctly it's Quickball.
In MIUI 8.
Flash TWRP
Flash supersu.
Flash Xposed.
Install Xmiui module.
Switch on Nav Bar.
In my opinion it looks ugly. (button on buttons)
but u can get it if u want it.
Finally, I think that this tuto is perfect, it has the option to enable soft keys and disabled HW keys:

I'll try this as soon as i have time to revert to MIUI. thanks for this.
"Finally, I think that this tuto is perfect, it has the option to enable soft keys and disabled HW keys:

That didn't work as well SubwayChamp.
I never try system changing beside Xposed,, unless there is no modules that i expect..
I remember there are some transparent related xposed modules out there..
But it makes the ui looks bad,, imo
Transparent is fancy in launcher,, but when you in app,, that looks ugly,, cos the transparent through the homescreen
But i think i know what you looking for
Transparent,, in all apps,, but not through to the homescreen
That's what i looking for too
Afaik,, fscb is the closest to my need
At least that give the decor as the entire screen app
The bad are: tinted the button to b/w,, and not transparent
-----------------
And thanks for the info bout the gravitybox
Try it
All my recent phones have been Oneplus phones (5 and a 5T) and there is always an option to change the order of the recent and back buttons, I tend to prefer them the opposite way round .....but usually not an issue to change, but I cannot find any button switching on the recent and back buttons.
Also is there a option to make the recent and back buttons just drop off the screen when surfing , on the 5T you can assign a gesture so just flick up from the bottom of the screen and the buttons appear, which is really useful when reading a website as it gives you more screen to view rather than losing a centimetre from the bottom of the screen.....but once again I cannot find such an option.....anyone know how or if this can be set ?
Other than those and the battery percentage not showing ( I just use an app instead and turn the battery icon off) I am enjoying the phone, but those two fairly minor things would be nice to work out...
Probably you need root to do this on stock Android (there is already a pre-patched Magisk boot.img for the A2L). Then an app or a (still non-existent) Magisk module will do the trick.

Thanks is there any new for twrp for mi a2 lite
Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
Not yet, but as I said above, if you search in the development section (very easy, there is only one thread at the moment) there is a user that posted a modified boot image that includes Magisk.
If you flash that image via fastboot and then install the Magisk manager apk, you'll be ok (there is a link to a guide in the same post with the boot image).
u can use xda navigation gusture..

HI , The only issue with the link is that it explains for rooted then has a link for non-rooted which takes you take a page of 24 pages full of different hacks that do not seem to explain how to do this for non-rooted phones.
Do you have a direct link to the non-rooted method please.
TYI
for the guys who don´t know if you press the settings button on the navigation bar bar about 10 sec ( keep doing until a new option appears on system menu) called interface tuning or similar that you can tweak the status bar
You can use "custom navigation bar", using adb instead of root.
this is not true. if it is true, show us.

I just tried, and it works. It unblocks a menu called "System UI Tuner".

maybe you mean notification shade
not navigation bar.
yes i can confirm that pressing the settings button on the notification shades for a few second make system UI tuner to appear on settings above developer settings. and it's only purpose is for hiding some statusbar icons.

Works as described.
To see battery percentage, you have to pull the status bar down. I don't see any way to switch from bar to percentage.
I don't even understand why bar is used when percentage is better in every way possible. Does anyone know how to do this?
Also, does anyone know how to make the screen lock screen appear directly instead of needing to 'swipe up to unlock' when turning the screen on?
MIUI 9.6

No way to turn battery percentage on..m on 9.6.4 as well
I think this might be addressed in MIUI 10, whenever it releases for RP6.
Don't understand how it got overlooked though, it is there in my redmi note 3 lol.
Go to settings and to status bar & notifications menu and there Battery percentage is available in MIUI 10, I don't know whether it is available in MIUI 9 or not.
MiUi 10 has that feature percentage gets displayed in the notch itself, using it RN
This sucks. Not only it DOESN´T show the percentage but when you install an app to add the percentage it won´t show anyway.
How are you using miui 10. Did you use flash it or otas are making the rounds?

Go to this link and download full rom of Developer ROM.
Place it in the internal memory of your phone, under a folder called "downloaded_rom".
Go to your MIUI updater, click choose package and upgrade.
This is just for once. You will get OTAs after that. No need of root or bootloader unlocking!
PS: This process will wipe your internal memory. So take backup, before doing this.
EDIT: Make sure your device is the Global edition or Indian edition. The rest don't have MIUI10, as of now, for the device.
Hit thanks if I helped you!
Darn it. I´ve just realized that this the Redmi 6 Pro forum...not the Redmi Note 6 Pro...which I could not find, btw.

Hello,
it is really annoying
I have not found a suitable app to modify the status bar yet.
You can, however, set the DPI setting (minimum width) higher in the developer options.
So everything gets smaller and it fits more in the status bar.

Hi guys,
I just updated my Mi A2 Lite to the latest Android P version (v10.0.2.0) from Android Oreo.
At the end so far so good, but... for my OCD I have a very annoying issue.
It's a bit hard to explain that, but let's try:
In my status bar, by default, I have: Battery + %, 2 SIM Signals + WiFi + Do Not Disturb
In Oreo all good, but apparently Pie added the WiFi up/down network activities "arrow" and every time those arrows come out, basically auto hide my "Do Not Disturb" icon and replace with a small dot.
You can see it inside my 2 screenshot.
As I said, this is for me it's super annoying because my eyes are distract from the status bar that keep changing every seconds.
First of all, that happen to you guys? And doesn't annoying you?
I tried to use UI Tuner, but it seems working only with few icons, not with WiFi icon.
Do you know some tool (root) that can remove maybe the 2nd sim signal? Or maybe remove the network activities.
No idea... I just want my Oreo status bat back
Any idea?
Really appreciated and thanks!

Until then, only with the user interface tuner. I do not know anything that works with root.
If you deactivate the percentage of the battery is already gaining space and if the do not disturb is disabled, you will gain more space yet.

Use "UI Tuner Launcher"
You can download it from Play Store
Same problem for me, biggest grip with Pie
Has anyone find its solution ?
Because i noticed this after upgrading to pie (on oreo the dual sim signal indicator stack one over another)
Can't we mod or just have like oreo?
I can get battery percentage with System UI tuner (Nova launcher), but...hehe...I can see now %
But alarm icon, wifi/data icon and 1st SIM icon gone under little dot.
This is really frustrating.
And 1 more thing after PIE upgrading: there is no alarm icon and time on lock screen (when alarm is on).
Pie it's not an upgrade...for me look like downgrade.
EDIT: all fine now with lock screen...by itself somehow
Having the same problem. Statusbar icons dis- and reappearing every few seconds, why someone thought this is a good design choice is beyond my understanding.
Has someone found a solution yet?
