Apps in full screen (18:9) on 8.1ROM

Hi everyone,
I switched last monday on official LineageOS 15.1 ROM and I noticed that not every apps are working in full screen because of the 18:9 size of the OnePlus 5T.
There was an option to force apps in full screen on OOS 5.0 ROM but I never used it, all apps was fitting perfectly the screen.
So I have two questions, first is this happening in every other ROM than OOS ? Maybe I have to wait for LineageOS to add 18:9 screen support.
Second question, is there any way, an apps or maybe an xposed framework module, to make apps fit perfectly the 18:9 screen ?
Thanks.

Tick the expanded desktop button in your rom.

Hi daveve.
Thanks for your answer but it is not the problem, even with expended desktop activated, apps doesn't completely fit the screen.
See attached screenshot of Waze for example.

On OOS, the feature “Full Screen Apps” is enabled by default for all apps, and if you have compatibility issues, you can disable them on a per app basis.
To my knowledge, no custom ROMs have this feature.
Apps like Waze and Spotify which are not updated for 18:9 displays will NOT fill the entire screen and will leave a black bar where the nav bar should be.

Yes I understood that, hope LineageOS developers will include this feature soon, specially now with official support of OnePlus 5T.
But I was hoping a possible trick or a xposed module...
Anyway thanks for your answers.

Thank you for this thread. I have tried almost all custom roms for this device and so far I have seen only Nougat based roms or OOS roms does support full screen Pokemon Go. Is there any other Oreo custom rom with that full screen option?

+1, If roms won't support it, the way oos and touchwiz does it, than magisk module would be awesome.

Sultans 14.1 rom for 5T actual works as expected. Not sure why 15.1 roms don't work

I'm on OB6, RR6.0, LineageOS 15.1 and on some apps, mostly in landscape mode, i can see only the half of the app.
The other half of the screen is black.
1. Sally's Law
2. Music Maker Jam
3. Cool Tool - system stats
Any hint other then contact the app developers?

You can do it by yourself. Decompile the incompatible apk and edit the androidmanifest.xml Just insert this
<meta-data android:name="android.max_aspect" android:value="2.1" />
under the application tag in the manifest file.
After that just recompile and sign/zipalign apk and install it.
Use Apk-tool its free and works very well
Ps i could also do it for you and upload the files

@gamer850
Yeah, managed it with Apktool and signapk (after many try and errors ^^ ).

So magisk module should be able to do this for all apps ?
Not gonna do that when most used apps update on a regular basis.

Finally there is now a 8.1 custom rom which does support Expanded Desktop feature with fully working fulll screen support.
I have tested it yesterday with Magisk and Pokemon Go fully working. Look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/rom-xenonhd-8-1-0-oneplus5t-t3778624

Always On Display on Oxygen OS Open Beta 4 OREO 8.1

Oneplus yesterday launch their oxygen os open beta 4 for the oneplus 5t. I tried this all steps to enable with Substratum and Always on enabler on my rooted oneplus 5t but its not working.
And btw it works on all the other 8.1 roms. But i like the ambient display of Oxygen os. So i want it always on.
Please Help

They don't use the AOSP Always on Display... they made their own version of it

Can someone port this for install on Oreo stable or do we need to wait?

well, there is no need for port. u can download apps in playstore for always on display. try this

@xXx is this somehow possible? If oos picked up and, then it would be almost perfect!
Should mention xXx doesn't support 5t, but I'm sure it y'all port aod over or basic 5 gets it, then the otherside will too.

They don't work like they should. I hit the power button to wake the phone and it just turns off the aod and then back on. That's one, then they don't handle notifications well. I prefer aosp style because it works normally. If someone can port a way, then we will be set

does substratum work?

Can anyone confirm that Substratum themes work on this phone?

Substratum wont work on this phone until we have root. Android Pie only allows Substratum to work on rooted phones due to Google's deletion of the overlay management service.

Cool, thank you. It's working on other rooted devices running Pie right? So it's a pretty good shot it'll just work once we have root?

did they say why they deleted the overlay management system? That was a great addition to the Oreo version.

Oh yeah any other device running Pie that is rooted Substratum should work fine depending on the theme. Once we get root we should be good to go.

They probably wont ever say but they dont like us tinkering around with their apps. There was a petition to keep OMS in Pie but they just ignored it and decided, as they usually do, to do what they want. Its the same thing with the Old style navbar,,,the code was there like OMS, just leave it in there for users to use it if they want. I have been with Android since it started and the "freedoms" we once enjoyed are being slowly eroded and choices taken away. Pretty soon we will be Apple and everything will be proprietary.
Annnnd yet another feature taken away from us! I mean really,,,I use this feature just about everyday and now its gone probably like this Pixel 3 will be when I send it back to Google!

I think they just blocked 3rd party overlays, not dropped OMS completely. IF there was no OMS, then Substratum wouldn't work properly, right? A ROM would need the necessary commits from Subs team (frameworks, etc), like we had to do with Nougat. Yet, you can run it on stock AOSPie, as long as you're rooted.
I may have it wrong, lol, I know I'm just ready to get my P3XL

Root is hopefully right around the corner and then Substratum can work,,,cant wait!

I saw a few posts that indicated that subs not working after rooting

Oh no I rooted as easy as any other phone and my themes applied fine. Some people may not be applying the themes right on Pie. I was even able to get rid of that God awful gesture navbar and get the old one back so I can flash my navbar theme.

Not sure why I didn't try it. I just assumed it wouldn't work. Not only does it work, everything is themed.
Thanks for saying something. That white ui was painful.

Swift Black on the 3 XL is a God send
Now in all the System and Google apps, you can't even tell there's a notch. Everything has a beautiful silky black look, and you just see the time in upper left and network info in upper right, and no idea there's even a notch in the middle as everything is black which totally hides the notch completely, but it's nice to see that info in the upper corners, makes the screen look like it goes all the way to the edge.

Unless the procedure is different on the P3XL as compared to my P2XL on Pie, the procedure is as follows.
Install the latest substratum from the play store, and grant it root and storage permissions.
Download a quality theme, and there are several.
Open substratum and tick the theme you want to apply.
Select "build and update" to create the overlays you want. Once done, reboot the phone, then go to substratum again, open the manager, then check your overlays, and select enable.
That should do it :good:

I think someone already answered but most forget to go back into Substratum and click enable on all the overlays that you built previously then rebooted. Its not like Oreo where all you had to do was just build and enable. Now, you have to build and enable then reboot and go back into manager and enable the built overlays again.

I am themed on the Swift series, but I did not know about this rebooting and enabling again. I was wondering why it wasn't working at first I would reboot go back into it and then an able again just out of frustration that knowing that was the right way to do it but seems weird to have to do that extra stuff now

Can confirm themes work just have to reboot after applying them and re enable them after reboot.
If I may ask how did you change the navbar ? And put those icons ?

I made a Google doc and posted the link below for my themes to help people that may run into problems,,,if you scroll down the last page there is a guide to enable the old style navbar. The icons are part of my Substratum theme Amazed Navbars.

- Optimized the volume adjustment to improve user experience
- Improved system stability and fixed general issues
- Updated Android Security Patch to 2020.05
Camera

- Adding lens stain detection
Phone
- Newly added Epic Games in Game Space（India only)
INFO:
10.3.0(+) is for non-EU devices and the 10.0.7(+) for EU devices!
CHEERS

Yu talking about this update for 7 and 7 pro or it is available for 7t also ??

Guys be aware that people on reddit have reported this updated changed the back gesture range to full length on the sides, meaning they work as back gesture even at the top of the screen, very annoying to people who want to preserve the top 1/3 for app menus

Yep, the navigation gesture goes all the way up as others have mentioned. However, I noticed that lawnchair now works properly with gesture navigation so it's a worthy trade-off for now imo until they fix it.
Everything feels very snappy.

And what about OP gestures? Still nowhere to be found?

For me when I would go to long press swipe up gesture for recents, it would also flip the app drawer up. It didn't really integrate with the home launcher like it did with the OOS launcher. I tried multiple versions, beta, non beta etc.
If I remember correctly there was issues on pixel with third party launchers on gestures when they first came out as well.

Hey where can i download the global version ? I went and updated through Oxygen Updater but then i guess is the indian version? idk but i lost Dolby Atmos functionality and there's no longer any equalizer.

Green tint issue after updating :/ kind of a bummer tho, can anyone else confirm this?

I assume smart things power menu is limited to pixels now?

I am not on the beta program, but received a notice on a pre-update for my 8 pro. It went away and had me wondering, as the updater showed nothing.
I guess it was this beta update. As usual, OnePlus can't keep their ducks in a row.

Sounds like there's not enough to make the "upgrade" worthwhile - could someone please test whether turning WiFi Hotspot on and off via MacroDroid / Taskman etc. still works?

You can download it from apkmirror.com

It dint not work on 10.5.10, downgraded to 10.5.8, now I can install the DP.

I'm downgrading to 10.5.11. I'm finding 11 DP2 still too bugging. I thought it would have been a little further along from DP1. I guess I'll wait until a stable version comes along.
