If you mean literally full screen, you can't. We have a weirdo aspect ratio that isn't fully supported.

I doubt it but you can try.

i m also looking for a solution for this... this really shows that Android isnt optimized for an immersive fullscreen experience. which is a bummer with the new 18:9 displays and bezels getting smaller and smaller..
It becomes very apparent when using iphone x - iOS is designed to give a much more immersive feeling - no nav bar and only transparent status bar. Apps by default literally fill the entire screen - where do we ever have this? We only get this in certain situations for media and games, thats it. rest of OS is not really immersive.
i installed "Granular Immersive Mode" app to get rid of status bar in select apps and it already makes a big difference. i would recommend this for everyone.
I also experimented with "Swipe Home Button" to get rid of nav bar and really fullscreen apps, but there is no good way to maintain BACK button and RECENT button.
but that still leaves things like 18:9 video in Chrome which is just not possible. ah well.

Use Samsung's browser. That one offers support for video scaling by stretching or cropping.

thanks for suggestion, but not the version i found in the app store, at least not for the 2 pages i just tried. maybe i missed something..
either way, i rather wanted to make the general point about Android here ...

Yes, you need to activate the Video Assistant (or something similarly called) from its extensions list. Then it should be working fine. I just checked it using the official version of the browser (beta is a bit older).

Can u provide me the extension name

Men this browser is awesome. Solution for all issue. Recommended. It have all you need in super amoled and ratio 21:9

Rotate Lock Screen

Anyone got any tricks for setting the lock screen to auto rotate portrait? Ultimate rotation worked on my previous phone. On 8.1 it doesn't seem to control lock screen on the pixel 2 xl

So, I'm using honor 9 / oreo and I've exactly the same issue . Try other rotation apps with no success. Looking for tricks too, 'll post here too if I found something

Wallpaper motion effect

Wallpaper Motion effect (''depth'''in your wallpaper) seems to have disappeared on the Note 10(+)?
Is it a setting to enable or are there any 3rd party apps that can add the effect?

It is available,but i dont know how to disable it.

you can enable or disable when you set home screen wallpaper

Worth noting that the motion effect is not available if you are using a different launcher...

So it doesn't work if you use Nova? It works on Nova on my Note 8 and Note 9. Just wondering, I don't use the stock motion wallpapers, but they do look pretty neat and I am always hopeful for newer, better ones on each new rendition of the Note line. Just like I am always hopeful for better AOD options each year.

Even back from s8, Note 8 etc... motion effect is not available when setting a wallpaper if not using stock launcher.
Live wallpapers is not a problem, but specifically the motion effect which gives a slight sense of depth as you tilt the phone is not available.
1st screenshot while using Nova Launcher, 2nd after switching back to OneUI launcher..
There are apps in the play store which will allow you to set this separately as a workaround..

Fixing few things after upgrade MIUI from 10 to 11

Hi
Today my Redmi Note 5 Pro has been updated to MIUI 11 and few issues showed up. Maybe you have some hints on solving them (phone is not rooted).
1) I have automatic brightness turned on and on MIUI 9 and 10 it was quite smooth and with nice delay. Sometimes too dark but most of the time ok. With 11 update it's extremely jagged, like it has only 5-6 steps and not smooth transition anymore. It's enough to rotate the phone just a bit to get instant brightness drop to a half, very annoying and if that's the new way of working I would call automatic change pointless. Any way to bring back smooth transition?
2) before the update I could swipe lock screen to the right and there I had quick access to flashlight, without unblocking the phone. Currently there is some kind of advertisement of wallpapers for lockscreen I don't care and want. Any way to bring back quick access to flashlight?
Those were two major issues do far. Now two minor ones:
3) scrolling lists is way to "smooth" now and won't stop scrolling when lifting the finger. Have to tap it again to stop scrolling. Looks like a bug, not an improvement.
4) paddings! Lots of wasted space everywhere like a theme for seniors. Dialer for example, before update I could see 5 (if I remember correctly) last calls. Now only 3 fit with lots of margins between them. Similar to settings list. I assume it's some designer vision we can't do anything about it but to embrace (and keep scrolling)
Anyway, thanks in advance for any hints on above issues.

There is no issues on miui 11. I use OTA one 818MB.

custom wallpaper movies

I like the MIUI wallpaper movie feature but would prefer the option of using custom movies. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything online, so in case anyone else is wondering.....
/sdcard/MIUI/.videowallpaper/
Copy and paste your homemade vids in there and then enable via the themes app. I was concerned the 4k vid might not work or even cause an issue like the sRGB one mentioned earlier, but I spun the wheel and I'm still here. Also, I'm on A9 MIUI 10 so there's a good chance it works on newer firmwares as well.

Thank you so much man! You're a real legend [emoji123][emoji108]!....I am using Seán Doran's The Pearl 4k here.

@wang1chung Themes app stops abruptly upon applying the video wallpaper now. Previously so far it was working perfectly. How to resolve?

I've noticed it's a little glitchy, specifically if you try to have one vid for the lock screen and another for the home screen. The resolution gets stretched instead of cropped.
What did you change since it worked? Does it crash with all vids, even the stock ones? Maybe try clearing the app data and starting again. Are you on A9? I'm using themes app v1.5.09

So I was able to successfully two different videos as my lock and home screens respectively (I edited the Lunasa 4k video which was originally in 1080x1080, into 2340x1080 i.e. my current screen resolution) but the problem with the lock screen one is that it restarts with every screen wake-up which is kinda annoying. I wished it would keep running in the background when the screen's turned off. That'd be what I want.
As for the Themes app version, it's v1.6.0.6. I'm on A10, MIUI 11.0.4. Global.

The video restart issue makes sense for battery saving but if you don't mind that, I wonder if it the AOD mod might help?
I think the resolution changes might be causing issues as the ones available through the themes app are 1080x1920.

How do I execute the AOD Mod and where to get it? I have the AOD Pro v4.4.8 btw but that's not the one u referring to here, right? Please help me run the video in b/g.
Nah, my screen resolution is 1080x2340 so 90% of themes (if not all) are optimized for this resolution only as the wallpapers fit perfectly on my screen top to bottom.

I remembered having a weird issue when I enabled ambient displays "always on mode" along with the lock screen movie. I thought it was what you were asking for but I just re-did it to confirm and it's not. The lock screen video is resuming where it last was right before it powered off. You said you didn't like it restarting, how about pausing?

Yea, my current lock and home screen video (which is the same) are already pausing when I turn off screen (and AOD turns on or even when it's off) and resuming from there when I come to home screen or lock screen which is perfectly fine as it should be and that's what I want actually. I don't want a single second of this beautiful ISS video to be gone during screen off. Although, the problem arises, somehow, when I try to select different videos for each of the screens. Then the lock screen one restarts and the home screen keeps pausing and resuming as it should. I'll try again once more else I'll keep this already-perfect single video aka "The Pearl 4k" by Seán Doran. [emoji847]
