I have a problem with some applications. They don't want to use full screen. For example Spotify. There is a black bar above navigation bar.
Is this problem related to spotify app or something related to operating system?
Do you have similar problem?
I think that maybe the 18:9 aspect ratio or the resolution perhaps isn't supported by all apps yet. I face the same problem with Ingress, but found a workaround to make the black bar smaller: By hiding the status bar for that specific app you have that issue with, here's a link: (No root needed)

any solution?

I wrote a post on spotify community page, but no real answers so far. So, we have to be patient.
More apps have this problem..I asked developer of one of them and they said that in the future they plan to support 18:9 apps lol its 2018 already they should have it..
color os.5 has feature to scale any app to 19:9
so i hope someone can port the feature into aosp/androidOne
any solution?
Solution
If you're looking fullscreen + gestures (like in MIUI) you're looking for this app - Fluid Navigation Gestures (search google play store)
It works BETTER than original, allows for customization and forces all "2D" apps to render full screen. Not games though
You'll need adb as well to make that program work
Is there any method to force apps to use notch area?
Like pubg game before pie update the notch was included in the game after pie there is black area instead
Any solution?
There is Notch Liller ( requires root ):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/themes/magisk-module-notch-killer-ignore-t3894060
Or there is Natcho Notch app from Google Play ( does not require root )
I want to use the notch area in specific apps like pubg not to hide it
this might be a weird problem or question, but I have this random blue light flashing slowly over navigation bar when I'm on a game in landscape screen, such as Heir of Light or Mobile Legend. I use the hidden navigation bar type instead the one that taking extra space. I wonder if it's coming from 3rd party AoD I used before, such as Notification Light or Always on Edge, but I have them both uninstalled already, I wonder if it's coming from them because previously I never saw this blue light over my navigation bar. I noticed several things about this light:
This light appears few seconds after I opened a game that is on landscape mode which hides the navigation bar. The light will flow surrounding the navigation bar area for around 2 times then it will disappear completely.
It only appears once on every restart, so if I open the same game later, it won't show until I restart my phone and open the game again.
I've tried to see if it comes in other app so I tried on Whatsapp and Firefox browser on landscape mode but the light didn't show up at all
I'm concerned with the battery this light consumes so I also checked what's running my battery life but I didn't find any unusual app running or hard-consuming my battery
Does anyone have any idea what this light is? or anyone else having this problem? What I want to know is where this light is coming from and is there any way to turn it off? because I really don't like unnecessary app consumes by battery...
I have attached a screenshot about how it looks like, any kind of help would be appreciated.. thanks in advance
SOLVED:
Thanks to chirogan that mentioned this is actually coming from the Game Booster feature

While playing a game, make the navigation bar appear and youll see a game booster icon in the lower left corner. Click on it and youll see monitoring temperature and memory icon. Click on it. Then click on Auto Control and disable it. Youll notice that the blue light will be gone because it doesnt optimize your apps anymore.

look like a firmware bug, the issue isn't there on lineage os or customs roms like aosp extended and havoc...

It's a possibility.. but this light doesnt just show on any app.. it only appears on games that take landscape and full screen that force hide the navigation bar.. I tried to see if it appears on YouTube app but it didnt.. it also doesnt show on portrait games.. im wondering if this has something with Game Tools or Game Booster or anything that triggers when the user plays games on full screen to let them know 'where' the navigation bar is but not sure yet Beside, if it's from firmware, I expect to already see this light from the latest OTA I got on September, instead I only noticed this light few days ago when I also happened to try some 3rd party AoD apps, which also I uninstalled immediately after play around and checking out how they look

Have you rebooted your phone after uninstalling those apps?
Look for a app called "Game Launcher" it may have some settings ticked to do that.

Are you using any of those GoodLock apps? If I am not wrong there was something like this in one of those apps.

I am using some of GoodLock apps I got from https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/themes/appssamsung-goodlock-2019-pie-apps-t3958121 , but not all of them. only these:
LockStar - for Lockscreen style
NiceShot - for Screen recording
QuickStar - for Status bar and Notification style
ClockFace - for custom clock on lockscreen
I also got One Hand Operation+ but it's from Galaxy Store. I could understand if I have some GoodLock apps for navigation bar, but I didnt install NavStar or any 3rd party app for navigation bar since I dont use the "button" style at all because it's taking more space of my screen

Can you try to disable or uninstall One Hand Operation+ to be sure? I think it causes it.

Its not a bug. Its an application called Game Booster.
What Game booster does is to control and monitor the Temperature and Memory. Once it detects that the application is heating or consuming too much memory, it optimized the phone by closing apps, adjusting brightness and other things that god only knows what. This is to prevent your app from over heating and forcr closing due to memory issues. Once optimization occurs, thats when the blue light over the navigation bar appears. In theory, it does the opposite of what you think. It optimizes the phone in such a way that it prevents abnormal usage in battery and memory to give the best experience in gaming. But sometimes it compromises the app by throtthling the game when it needs a boost in CPU and GPU. It depends on the application on when youd like to activate or disable this feature.
Do you want to disable it?

Edit: out of topic question. Do you experience frame drops in mobile legends? Especially when switching from one app then back to mobile legends?

Thanks for this.. it's just as u said, the blue light is coming from the Temperature Control, once I toggled the auto control on/off the blue light is there.. now that u mentioned it I remember I recently updated Game Booster few days back.. Now I know where the light is coming from.. Thanks again.. :fingers-crossed:
I used to get lot of Frame Drop few weeks ago after this latest update with the "new form of spells", I could barely play anything.. but I didn't do anything tbh and just keep playing until now, and it's way better now. There is still some Frame Drops but it's only when super heavy stuff going on at once in the game, compared to the first time I experienced it, it's so light now even tho I didn't try to do anything to fix it.

Thanks for the confirmation too. I used to have a lot of frame drops but it was due to Game Booster and Game Optimizing Service not working well. After the update, it improved the performance significantly but there was only one bug left. It was when switching from the Game to another app, then going back to the game, it causes the game to start frame Dropping.
Hopefully it makes the update better on the coming days.
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.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/themes/magisk-module-notch-killer-ignore-t3894060
It's a system-wide toggle though, not a per-app toggle.
Hi people, am currently waiting for bootloader unlock, am trying to sort things out and see how am gonna use my new rooted phone Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro, well phone is great, but am coming from old era where rounded corners and notch was not a thing, i still prefeer screens with rectangle shape, and am willing to sacriface lower portion of screen up to ending of rounded corner and same above till the camera module, so i can have nice rectangular screen
Now my question is how to?
How to change screen size? (how to measure where to start and end)
If by software rounded corners still exist how to remove them?
Am planing to flash xiaomi.eu rom and magisk root.
Thank you great people and community.
in miui there is option to hide notch
there are 3 options:
1. don't hide notch
2. hide notch without moving statusbar
3. hide notch and move status bar
but all of them still have rounded corners. I guess magisk module will do the job
