Cropped out Instagram and WhatsApp story

My friend just bought a Redmi Note 5 Pro and it has a weird problem.
When viewing an instagram or Whatsapp story,it automatically gets cut in both sides vertically.
Maybe it's because of the 18:9 ratio but I haven't found anyone else with the same phone having same problem.
The device has the latest 9.2.7.0 MIUI version.
What's the cure here?

Yes it's because of the 18:9 display. I have the same problem too...
Too bad the Instagram developers are lazy and mark their app as optimized, yet aren't at all!
It's the same problem for even flagship-level phones with non 16:9 displays (such as S9, G6, etc)
The only way to solve it is to pray to God that these devs realized their mistake and fixed the matter.
Though I insist you (or your friend) opting for Instagram Beta, as it should receive new features and fixes faster.

Well that's surprising. I thought since mainstream phones like S8,s9,pixel now use 18:9 ratio, instagram must've added support for it like they did for Iphone X within months of its release.
I also wonder if there are any unofficial workaround for it :/

Go into settings--->fullscreen display (I'm translating from polish so it may a bit different) and find Instagram and force it to work with 18:9 ratio. I had similar issue with Worms 4. After forcing it from that menu to work in 18:9 everything is alright

I can't find the Fullscreen Display option on the note 5 pro.

Even though I'd followed the video above, the Instagram toggle is greyed out, hence it's state can't be changed.

Yes it is greyed out for me too.
So I am in the process to unlock bootloader and flash the updated 9.5.6.0 version or the latest xiaomi.eu version.
That will most probably let me change Instagram toggle.

Too bad, I'm already on 9.5.6.0 since I booted this device and the toggle is still greyed out
It's probably better to opt for custom rom at this point, MIUI won't cut it, probably...

In your video,we see a lot of apps but Instagram.
Can you confirm if particularly the instagram app toggle is changeable in your ROM version?

It's greyed out as well, but is like enabled by default and not changenable. I don't use Instagram. All I did was to install it and go into the settings to check which position the toggle is

[Discussion] Which ROM are you guys using and why are you using it?

Hey guys,
Just wanted to know which rom you are using and the reason behind it.
I am using xiaomi.eu 10.2 stable, I am basically using it because of stability. I previously used pixel experience for a while, it was a bit of a hassle to boot it up.Since the dev was inactive and the rom had some bugs I had to use miui which I am not a big fan of.
The goal of this discussion is to find out if anyone is using stock android like roms without any issues.
Thanks

I'm using pixel experience, doesn't have any bugs and easy enough to install.
Only downside is the security patch is not up to date

Which version of the phone do you have? (Global/Chinese)
Can you describe how you installed it?
Is the proximity sensor working for you?

I have the Chinese device, with the Chinese developer vendor image. Installation was just the usual, flash vendor image, flash rom, format data, flash Magisk.

Stock global, because I think MIUI is cool, and I bought this phone for that.

That's about where I was, other than the notification nightmare which made it close to unusable for me. I just couldn't see the point, my conclusion being it's designed for people who like themes, which aren't my cup of tea.

Yeah notifications are a disaster. I thought MIUI was cool and I have all the pixel XL devices too, so I have choices.
Sent from my Mi MIX 3 using Tapatalk

There are a couple apps for which I get notifications but no sound, most notably Google Keep and Settle Up. Other than that, I don't have major issue with notifications since 10.2 update.

Stock Chinese ROM with Nova Launcher Prime for me. I like the lack of Google trash, like Chrome, not being needed to use and access the Play Store. Literally the most bloat-free experience after uninstalling the Chinese bloat that isn't needed.

Dev eu rom. Since the first release. Happy with it. No problem at all.

Cn device with global Rom, I like MIUI battery management last all day with heavy use.

Xiaomi.eu weekly with Nova prime on top.
I really like it and notifications work fine it is just a little bit annoying that you have to set app specific settings for them to work properly though.

Guys what's the notification issue you're talking about?
Im on global miui too but i dont know exactly what it is?

Which messaging app are you using? For me, I could never get notifications to work properly with Google Messages, and with the native Messages app, group messaging didn't work, nor does it have a desktop interface. This may have improved with the more recent releases, but Pixel Experience was so good I have no need to bother trying MIUI again (the other big thing it was missing is the smart unlock functionality).

The only thing I'll regret in stock android is the full screen gesture. I love it in miui

Update done.
Home screen is a bit laggy, ASUS keyboard is also glitching. Its picking the letter below the one being pressed if clicked anywhere other than top most border.
edit : compatibility issue with asus keyboard app. key press is a bit messed up. no issue with stock google keyboard. sony album app compatibility issue. unable to delete images. nothing happens after pressing delete. sony music is working nicely though.

They didn't add digital wellbeing as a system app, but you can install it using apk. Install Pixel Shortcut from play store to open the app

You know, option to choose whether to use mic or internal audio only (without mic) in the screen recorder. Like on BL Rolex. Idk if this Syberia build have that feature, because it didn't included in features list.

Good Job. Want to ask you. I can not change the function of the navigation bar buttons. Is this something that has not been integrated
in Syberia 10 or is missing from ginkgo only ?
One other thing I noticed is that the digital wellbeing menu does not open anything.
Also, any plan to add quick settings icon customization ?

Yes you are correct for digital wellbeing...gapps were not properly installed.

New update pushed
Check OP post for downloads and 2nd post for changelogs.

Android 11 DP2 just came out for OP8/Pro

Apparently even if you were on DP1, it still wipes your phone on the upgrade. I wonder why that's necessary.

Has anyone downloaded / tested this yet?

It's no different from DP1 absolutely NO fixes what so ever from what I see, having to revert back, banking apps still don't work, UI is still a mess using dark mode, none of the Google implementations.

New approach of PhotoChrom now in DP2
So far that's what I noticed but there must be more fixed

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?
(it is broken in OOS 10.x but was working in 11 dp1)

It's OnePlus Camera version 5.4.23
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.
