Three little "problems" I found using the OnePlus 5T

Hey guys,
while I'm extremely happy with the phone (awesome screen, perfect fingerprint location IMO, general form factor), I've come across three little problems:
1.) The biggest "flaw": Using another launcher / wallpaper than the stock one causes the face-unlock to be slower. And if you set another launcher / wallpaper, there will be a noticeable delay when you turn on the screen: The wallpaper will take longer to appear on the screen than everything else.
2.) The time between hitting the power button on the right / using the double-tap-to-wake feature and the screen actually turning on is almost a second. Coming from the 3T btw, where it almost felt instant.
3.) I'm not sure whether it's a flaw but it's just something that looks strange: The greyish navbar when using a dark-themed app. (I wouldn't really call this a problem, it's just a consistency flaw you notice, while operating the phone.
So first of all: Do you have the same impressions? It might very well just be my phone and you don't encounter these problems. But in another thread I already read about the face-unlock time taking longer, when using another launcher / wallpaper.
Thanks in advance for any replies and experiences!

There's an app in the play store called Navbar Apps which can fix the navbar colour issue. Doesn't even need root!

Thanks Lum_UK, but I already tried that one. I find it to be a bit slow in overlaying the "correct" color, i.e. the overlay isn't always there from the beginning when opening an app.
And I'm not interested in rooting anymore.

You can force it to just black in that app, which may be preferable to the grey, and avoids the delay issue.
Otherwise, probably not much you can do unless a future OOS adds new options.

What launcher r u using

So far I tried Nova, Lawnchair and the stock launcher. I'm encountering this problem with Nova and Lawnchair, not with the stock one. But if I set a custom wallpaper in the stock launcher, the wallpaper-appearing-delay is also there.

#2 is because of face unlock. Disable it and it will be instant.
Personally i use ambient display + lift up display so when i pick the phone i can see the clock and if needed, the double tap to wake in that screen is instant too

You can turn off the animation in Navbar Apps as well. That way the correct color will load much faster.

I don't use Face Unlock, but everything turns on instantly for me.
However, the nav bar color oscuro the worst and I can't wait to get back to a good AOSP firmware. OxygenOS is great and all but missing very important features I just can't live (comfortably) without.

You're right! This means bye-bye then to face unlock, unless this is fixed. I'm using smart lock anyway. :good:

Thank you for all your replies so far! They really were helpful!
Now could you still say something about "problem" #1? Do you observe the same or is it different? So if you use another launcher / wallpaper, will the wallpaper take longer to load then everything else?

1. agreed, same exact issue here.
2. i dont have that issue. both FP and FU are pretty much instant. sounds strange. maybe factory reset is really the way to go.
3. yea i agree, not optimal.

Hey guys,
I just wanted to give a heads up to you: I just discovered how to avoid the 'wallpaper-lag' while turning the screen on when using a non-stock wallpaper or non-stock launcher:
1. Force stop the OnePlus launcher.
2. Uninstall any updates to it.
3. Use the launcher you like. (Tested with lawnchairs and Nova)
At least for me, the wallpaper lag is gone!

For 1) and 2) : Did you force stop the oneplus launcher? No lag here..
edit, I see @Sangraphim already posted this right above this post

For me this doesn't solve the problem. If the wallpaper is set through another launcher (Nova in my case) and if I use Nova, when using face unlock, i first see the lock screen for some split seconds and then it unlocks. If the lockscreen wallpaper is set through the OnePlus launcher itself, it skips the split seconds on the lockscreen completely and goes directly onto the homescreen which feels much more instantaneous. Also if I'm using a live wallpaper, like the nice new Pixel wallpapers which I wanted to use, the problem occurs even when setting the wallpaper through the OnePlus launcher and when using OnePlus launcher itself.
I've uninstalled the OnePlus launcher updates and tried to force stop it (although this wasn't possible as it seemingly wasn't even started to begin with), but nothing changed.
And yes, the wallpaper will often times take longer to appear on the screen than everything else, exactly like Dimitry from Hardware Canucks demoed in his review:
https://youtu.be/Kf93Nz_bgFs?t=7m48s
This looks very glitchy in my opinion but is of course rather nitpicky.
And as Sangraphim said, the time between hitting the power button on the right / using the double-tap-to-wake feature and the screen actually turning on is definetly prolonged when using face unlock - but that's probably by design I guess, because it starts the front camera first and waits a bit to detect a face before actually turning on the screen.

Dark Status Bar in MIUI 9.5

All of a sudden, an old bug which used to be in 3s popped up. A dark overlay in the status bar which makes it look bad in every app.
Anyone know how to fix this ? I can change the theme which will fix it temporarily for few minutes before it appears randomly.
I'm in leaked Oreo Stable 9.5.6.

You sure it's not a launcher related issue? I don't have the problem, I'm using the same ROM! Try switching to the default theme and restarting.

If its possible, try to clean system.ui apk data and cache

Looks like I'll have to live with it. Flashed the 28.4 beta, dirty flash, the issue is still there.

I have the same problem on my RN4X... I have to change the theme to revert to normal bar (or you can change just the Status Bar from Customize Theme option), but it happens to change it back with the dark bar after some time (I observed that this issue appear after I play a game or I'm looking at a video).
I am on xiaomi.eu ROM

This is works last night i install gradeup app & this issue accure now i 1 switch night off & 2nd kick of app now problem solved:good:

Do you have Android Auto? My issue was because of it.

i had the same issue i was using pixel launcher rootless and mistakenly i set it to transparent mode and since then the bar turns dark (dimmed). could simply revert it back when i chose Dark from the the launcher's settings.

It happens whenever an app tries to use a dark mode. Anyway, I'm on PE pie now!

Swipe down home screen for notification panel Tweak?

Is there a tweak or something else so that I can swipe down on home screen to open the notification panel?
Miss that from OnePlus OOS.

Yes. Get a new launcher like Nova and enable gestures

using Nova to make that happen
wish we had double tap to wake too

Would like to stay with Pixel Launcher.
Any possibility with this Launcher?

Probably closest thing you'll get with stock is to enable the gesture to swipe down on the fingerprint scanner.
Might have to look to rooting to do it on screen.

Why not Nova. What is keeping you on pixel. Nova has so much more to offer

Lawnchair launcher is probably the closest thing to stock that you'll gain this functionality with. Plus, it offers to disable the top shadow, which causes black/dark wallpapers to produce gray/distorted lines around the status bar on the stock launcher (and you can't disable it).
Before anyone tells me my device is defective, please try it out for yourself. Just apply the pitch black or gray wallpaper from the wallpaper picker and turn your brightness up. You'll see it.

[Wallpaper] [Magisk] OnePlus Nord Live Wallpapers on OnePlus 7T

Hi, all!
Saw this XDA article and decided to try these new Nord's live wallpapers on my OnePlus 7T.
It worked and I've liked these a lot, so I decided to create a Magisk module to use them instead of having to overwrite my original wallpapers. Since it works for me I thought that I should share it with the community.
Download : https://mega.nz/file/a0oShD5L#RFrOmut6Yezjuup75-quwf71dHz5gK8NrXe8ELd9jGQ
It works on OnePlus 7T but should also work on OP7, OP7Pro, OP7TPro, OP8 and OP8Pro. Try it out and let us know!

Thanks for the effort but this did not work for me....

nope, it looked successful but after a reboot i still have older wallpapers. I even selected each one and set them as previous wallpapers just in case and still not working

thanks bro

I did get them to apply but it only animates on the lock screen, not in the home screen when I swipe between pages. Is that normal? Using nova launcher.

Can't really understand why. Do they show up on the wallpaper customization instead of the previous ones - like in the image in the first post?

You're right, it doesn't animate in home screen, only on lock screen and on the transition from lock screen to home screen. I'm a user of Nova Launcher too so I went ahead and tested it with OnePlus Launcher and it also doesn't animate on home screen. Maybe it's the current behaviour (and even in a OnePlus Nord it doesn't animate) or it's a bug that occurs only in this context but I can't really tell since I don't have a device to test it.

I believe these animate during unlocking of device then stop to be a static wallpaper like the miui animated planet walls that start in space and zoom into a static location background.

Working perfectly for me. And yeah, it's just a short animation then locks into a static wallpaper when it's done animating. But that's probably how it's supposed to be.

works very well on OP7T, thanks!

So I watched some videos of the Nord with the live wallpaper applied and the way it's SUPPOSED to work is the wallpaper is static on the lock screen and doesn't animate until the phone is unlocked. I don't know if that can be tweaked with this mod but that's how it's supposed to work.

Yes, like the miui 12 wallpapers. They animate then zoom into a static image again.

Thanks works great.

If after using the magisk module, it doesn't work, go to the zip filer and find the OnePlus wallpaper resources apk and install it. It'll show up updated

Currently using Android 11 in my OnePlus 7T (via Open Beta 2) and this module still works without any change.

Remove antimation option in adnroid. Before it was only in developer options animation speed 1-0.5 etc

I have the same problem. It is most annoying with swipe down animation from the top of the screen

I don't get the problem y'all are having. Help me understand!

Can you record what's happening and post it?

I think what he wants is to disable all animation. He has tried disabling it in the Developer option and in the Accessibility option but he still has animations.
I think this is either bug or something Oneplus missed because I have the same problem. I still have animations for certain actions even when I have disabled it all.

I'm attaching recording but isn't showing for some reason

When u disable animations over aimation button or dev settings they work. For a half hour or a hour. Im noticing that if u lock and unlock phone many times abimations start to reappear faster. So disabling work for some times then animations return. And button to disable animation is still on ON
