Landscape mode with notch. - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

I want to see a video in landscape mode but have a black bar at top of screen, so, Xiaomi will update to make the notch work in landscape mode.?
We need a full screen on videos..

Just toggle the immersive mode and you'll get what you want. If I remember right is not available in the settings and you may want to check out an app from playstore. Just find one you like

Split UI in Landscape

Hi all,
I wanna have my G3 use a two-pane layout whenever possible, in landscape mode. The way the Nexus 7 does it - flip to horizontal, you have 2 panes. Back to portrait - you have the regular phone UI with 1 pane etc.
I was wondering how to achieve this.
My phone's rooted and has Xposed installed, I tried App Settings and changed the DPI for some apps but the fonts just become tiny and unreadable at lower DPIs, and still I get no tablet mode in landscape nor portrait.
I tried a module called Phab7 but it didn't quite work.
Thanks!

portrait mode by default

Hey,
There's any way we can have the camera in portrait by default? I mean it takes 2 pictures anyway so if we want the one without portrait we just need to swipe left... This because a lot of the times I forget to put the portrait mode on.
So anyone knows if there's any chance to have portrait mode as default in camera? Just jump in it with double power button and take a fast picture and it will be in portrait.
Cheers
Not that I know of. If anything, it would be nice if it was a quick tap away like flash and HDR options. Personally, I wouldn't want it as default because it crops a lot.

If you use Tasker with the plugin "AutoInput", you can get it to tap on the menu button to reveal the sidebar and then tap the portrait mode option.
I know, not the "cleanest" way of doing things but it's still less tapping/work for you!

Android 10 Dark Mode: All or Nothing?

Anybody know a way to toggle Light/Dark mode on an individual app basis without root?
I personally like have my navigation drawer a in dark mode, but that means setting the dark mode globally in the display settings. However, there are many apps I don't like in dark mode such as Google Keep and Google Photos. But I can't seem to find a local setting to change those back to light mode.

Landscape notch area usage.

I found a problem with some apps that run exclusively in landscape mode, the notch are is not used.
I, unlike others, am a fan of the notch, and I always want to use the full real estate of the screen. Even the launcher refuses to use that zone while in landscape mode... And while most people hate the notch, remember one thing... we are rocking IPS not OLED... so while the notch is off, you can still see light bleed from it, which for me, it's annoying as hell.
Is there a way to force apps to use that zone while landscape? I came across discussions from essential phone and oneplus and they can natively (because customization level) force apps into full screen mode.

This Magisk module will do it.

It's a system-wide toggle though, not a per-app toggle.

Fullscreen apps in landscape mode

I figured out that here would be the best place to ask.
I am struggling with the crappy fullscreen mode in landscape - the area around the camera is always either black or white. Did some tests - the most of the apps to not utilize the screen, where only the notification bar (being on the long side in landscape mode) does. Strangely enough, Google Maps and Google Translate DO utilize the whole screen in landscape mode, where as hangouts or gmail don't. This is with setting for full screen apps.
Did some reading and it seems like there are 2 ways - either the app forces the fullscreen or the OEMs. Did some tests with my own app at it looks like the only way for the app to appear fullscreen is to be allowed in the app. Is that so?
Does Gmail also have this blank area on other phones?
As you say, some apps use the full area, others don't, I believe the issue resides in the apps, not the device
