Display Brightness App

I posted this before when all the SGS3 variants were under one forum. Now that they're locked, I just wanted to post this here as I know a lot of people liked the app. I use it everyday.
One thing I definitely miss on SGS3 coming from SGS1 and SGS2 was the ability to change the brightness setting from from the top of the notification bar. You were able to slide your finger left to right and be able to change the screen brightness.
Display brightness can do something similar and thought I'd share as I am sure a few of you might also miss the old feature. You can set a screen brightness slider anywhere on the screen and change its transparency. It works a treat to be able to change brightness quickly and efficiently. I set mine to be on the left side of the screen horizontally, and set transparency to 0 so it cannot be seen. Then when I need to change brightness quickly, I just slide the bar up or down. There are quite a few options and different sizes you can choose. Also, you can set it so that there is a one second delay. This helps to avoid touching the bar by accident and changing brightness on you.
Here is the link on Google Play if you want to check it out

Anyone getting error when trying to install?
Specifically "Error processing purchase..."
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Have it installed and really like it.
One problem I'm having is that I set it to Enable the Indicator on my screen, and it periodically turns off. A bit frustrating. But other than that, it's great.

I get the error trying to install apps every time I flash cm10 and then go back to stock. If that's the case youd notice it trying to install other apps on the market. Either case it's a market problem or the rom you're on. I normally fix by clearing market data as well as google framework data too. Then reboot and I can install apps again. It doesn't sound like an app problem though
Also the indicator shutting off I have not seen before. That could be a result of task manager app or something shutting it off somehow

I thought about that. If so, it is the system manager, because I do not run task managers.
I do have System Tuner...have nothing set in it's killer. I did set this app as excluded (which my understanding is that excludes apps from availability to kill). I think maybe it did help, but did not cure the issue.

Ultimatum rom lets you change brightness from the top. However the min brightness doesn't go low enough on this phone. Too bright in dark rooms

I use another app called screen filter for the darkness issue. Check it out! You can then make the screen MUCH darker depending on preference. I agree, the screen does not go low enough on this phone especially at night when in a dark environment.

I swear by this app. Greatest thing ever for texting at night or even (Yes I know, shame on me) in the movie theater.

All apps are show notch, running granular immersive mode. Still bar above.

So i just got the phone last night and i applied both to try and force any and all apps to show notch so i can enjoy all of my screen. Idc how i have to do it but for whatever reason when i open certain apps, they still overlay a gray, white, black, empy bar where my notifications would normally go and its very frustrating.
I gave granular permission, put full screen on every app and even told every app to show the notch... Is there any other way to bypass this issue so i can get any app regardless if it likes the aspect or not to show the notch and remove this bar?

Could still use help with this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/471469010672812033/544203189558181900/Screenshot_20190210_120903_com.facebook.katana.jpg

Are just some examples. White bar is where it should show the app and if it were digital, my notch

I have this problem with certain apps even forcing show notch just turns in showing a white bar instead of black in landscape.
I don't think there's something we can do about it atm, I guess it's more of an app incompatibilities with notch since it works perfectly with some apps and not the others. Not sure if it's on Huawei or Dev's app side.
When it doesn't work It's better to let it black than white for your screen.

Thankfully I'm glad I'm not the only one and it's not just a me problem. Thing is. IDK how to force a certain color up above. Like for example if I use Nova to swipe up as search, it will just put a white bar up there... And you can see someone else is doing it cause for a split millisecond it shows the operation as intended with just the search box. Quickly after though it sticks that bar. Same thing with for example Sao internal factor (game)
When you start up the game it'll give you the entire screen, but soon as you check your mail or news and close them, the white line takes over where the notch is. Very frustrating and I feel like it's in the system, not the game... But who knows I could be wrong
I just hope a mod or fix is made soon because if I had know I would not be able to take advantage my entire screen, I would never have bought the phone

Is there room at the top for notification icons? Either side of the notch?

Tempted to buy a g7 play, but notification icons are important to me, so is there any room at the top for notification icons?
Also what is the memory management like with 2gb?

Yes there's room for notifications but when there's a lot you will only see one then a dot which means there's a few and ram management is great for a 2gb ram all depends which apps you have running I have all the stock Google that come installed Reddit Twitter XDA WhatsApp Spotify and Netflix and 3 emulators and it doesn't bog down or lag only tweaks I've made is reduce animations to 0.5.

Brilliant Ty for that, sounds great.

I also like to see all notifications at the top bar, so I disable the notch in developer options (Display cutout > Hide). With this option, the area where the camera and the speaker are between is not used anymore, and the notification bar starts just below it, using all the screen width as any other phone. I don't even see it as a "waste of screeen area" because they are just two small areas which are annoying to reach for notifications, and when watching videos or using a fullscreen app in landscape mode it looks like the speaker and the front camera are invading the screen (ugh). Besides that, many videos don't even have the 19:9 ratio. As you can see, I really don't like the notch, but I'm cool with buying a phone that has it as long as I can "cut it out" of my way
Regarding RAM usage: firstly, I'd like to remember it will only affect multitasking and possibility to play very heavy games (if gaming is your concern, I suggest you look up if a specific game runs or how it performs on 2GB RAM. Processing will hardly be the concern, since it has a decent chipset). I've used several apps at the same "task" switching between them (commonly 3 or 4, but sometimes even more), and none of them restarted. If I'm using chrome with several tabs, at least the last used app won't restart if I switch. And when an app needs to be reloaded, It does so very fast. And I also use the "one button navigation bar", so I rapidly switch back-and-forth between two apps by swiping left on it. I like it a lot

Question 12 "Stable" Issues Thread

Besides the general low quality of this piece of software, here are some specific pains:
1. SafetyNet test fails (no root) - WTF? Can't use any of my work applications because of that.
2. Status bar notification icons don't appear (except for Gmail, for some reason)
3. About device shows there's an update available but I can't update because I'm not the "owner" of the device (there is only 1 user configured, no multiple users) - screenshot attached.
Please share your experience and whether or not you're seeing the same issues (or more).
Thanks!

Another botched update from oneplus scams

Well, it's a good thing I decided that the OP9P would be my last OP smartphone. I'm gona stick with Pixel phone from now on. Finally release A12 and no phone or data works. Really OP???

- Phone stuck in 60hz like 99% of the time.
- Keyboard doesn't have this convenient padding anymore. (On botttom to make typing easier.)
- [Launcher] Can't search apps with a single up swipe anymore, will have to find some hacky solution again. Usually I put a KISS launcher shortcut on other phones. But why ruin it when they had it ....
- [Launcher] Folders open on the middle of screen. Makes no sensse.
- [Launcher] The whole launcher experience is just way worse.
- Battery Management is a mess, now there are other options per app. The previous settings were reset.
- Rooting with Canary Magsik can soft brick. Managed to fix it but it took me a while and I consider myself a veteran.
Honestly, tons of great features are missing. I wish they would just give us a lean AOSP instead like the ASUS Android and call it a day. This feels like a botched, budget Android on a cheap Chinese phone.

App drawers can only display 4 icons per row. Anyone knows how to change it to 5 per row or more?

it is no longer possible to film and in 21:9... or I am blind.
Like a say h8Aramex Phone stuck in 60hz like 99% of the time.

That's not actually a bug, that's feature. Go to notification settings for particular app and you can set to show notification icon on status bar. Disabled by default for all apss (I think it should be enabled by default), except Gmail, Dialer and a few others.
Bug I found:
- font size issues. I want to set small fonts and dpi. But some apps, like default camera app, power menu, google feeds when swipe etc has still default large font, experience is terrible
- custom dpi set in developer settings will be reverted after reboot. If you set smaller dpi in phone settings, it will be applied a few seconds after boot, phone starts with default dpi
- AOD does not work, even if enabled, screen will turn off when inactive
I installed via built in ota from Oxygen 11 Global, I got update to ColorOS 12

Just got my first 1+ yesterday and was really impressed with the OOS 11 experience.
All day long. All the magic has gone after the update.
In addition to what was already said, the AOD is flickering terribly.
Perhaps it is caused by the pwm of low frequency.

Lol, I paid 1000 euros for this phone because the software was supposed to be good...

Oh yeah, the CLOCK. What is WRONG with that CLOCK!? LMAO.
I mean look at this ABOMINATION.
WHO DRAWS A CLOCK LIKE THAT? SATAN?!?!??!
Like wtf lol.

I have a new problem. I listen to music while walking with my wireless headphones. The phone is in my pocket. Unknown reason causes the phone to crash.
I feel it's going to be complicated.... At least I have 5G working.

Why would they remove the seconds on the clock feature. This update is horrible all around

Get Nova launcher and don't look back?

I'm not even going to upgrade A12, I deleted the 4gig update I got from Oxygen Updater. Oneplus just shoot them self in the foot and will not recover from this. I'll be suprise if they sell 1k Oneplus 10 phone next month.

Is your phone in 24-hour format? Mine looks normal in 12-hour format but like yours in 24-hour format. I don't use the stock clock app so I hadn't noticed.

They didn't. This is only when setting an alarm in the clock app.

Camera goes bananas when zoomed beyond 10x.. See attached

Any custom DPI set in developer options is completely lost after reboot.
Reported by me multiple times and was also seen in previous phones/Android versions.

Hi all, i can't open the icon option in the Launcher and and in the settings too it simply crash and nothing. Anyone as an idea? I just wipe launcher data but nothing.

Did you select "High" refresh rate in settings? Mine is at 120hz the vast majority of the time.

I have issues with screen brightness not adjusting to low-light conditions. When setting my phone on my dash mount I have to manually adjust the screen brightness down or go blind, even in dark mode. Worked fine with Oxygen OS 11. Fairly disappointed with the overall quality of this update, and I usually love getting the shiny new OS version update.

Question How to add a gesture that raise luminosity to 100%?

I usually turn off the auto luminosity because I don't like it changing when inside.
The punishment is that when I go outside in a sunny day, I see nothing on the screen and I would like to fix it without fumbling for minutes trying to find a dark corner in the street so that I can raise the luminosity again. Something like gesturelike, for instance finger.s moving up the screen raise luminosity.

This one asks too much privilege for my taste (only my passsword manager has accessibility access rights). I'd rather have something in the OS do that because I think apps will need accessibility access to capture gestures !?
