[Q] How to enable the Swipe Option for lockscreen security in GT I9192

Hi Dudes and Devs,
I want a solution or an idea. I'm having s4 mini duos with stock installed. Everything is fine for me. I'm rooted and using xposed modules. So i'm having better looks and performance without modifying the stock. Now i'm having only one thing which is annoying me a lot.
That thing is, if we set the pin/password for the lock screen, there is no such option to use the Lockscreen security with Swipe like that in the ICS.... So whenever i try to unlock my screen means the Pin panel or password panel is always showing up... It's not looking nice and its annoying me.... In the CM builds and other custom builds the swipe option was included...
So someone please tell me...
Is there anyway to activate/use the lockscreen security feature with swipe option enabled?
Is there any way to activate that by editing some files using file explorer? (Like enabling the Nav bar in stock ROM using a command)...
Please dudes i dont want to changeover to a CUSTOM build, so someone please tell me a way to enable the feature without changing the stock rom.
And most importantly it'll be helpful for all the Stock Users....
I am Waiting

Not sure if it is possible, it is by design.
When you have a high security lock screen, you will not be able to pull down the shades. Not sure about having that in CM or custom builds as I have Carbon 4.4.4 on my 9192 and it is disabled there as well.

What's the use of pin/pattern lock if anyone can unlock your device with swipe anyway?
But yes in CM builds there were two step unlocking, first swipe than patter/pin and I think you mean that.
In order to get it on your default samsung rom you need to install 3rd party screen locker and customize accordingly.

CM 13 vs Smart Cover and NFC

Hi there,
I have problem with smart cover for my s4 mini. I just switched from stock rom to CM 13. It's running and looks great, but i cant find a solution to bring back smart cover. It was awesome feature, but looks like CM13 is not supporting it anymore by itself. I tried to find an app on google store - there was something like S-View, but it didnt work and the rest of them is for turn on/off screen. The thing is cover IS turning screen on/off, but there is no special screen with time, notification, music info.
Also - i can't find NFC icon anyware. Is it still working?

You can use SlimKat rom. It has smart cover support

Once you go Android 6, you cant go back.
So - NFC is not supported at all, i hope it will be fixed in upcoming releases. I didn't test nightly build (cuz i just started with android), so can you tell me if this is upcoming feature?
And about that smart cover. I noticed that apps i was talking about earlier - S-View for example - work with p-sensor, no magnetic sensor. It's kinda problem.
You know - power button can turn on screen with case closed ONLY with system lock screen, but... clock is just too low ;_; Any lockscreen from market just doesnt react to power button when case i closed. Is there any way to way to (restore from stock rom for example) and change system's lock screen? Or change the position of clock with some magic tricks?

Idk much about it but modder can help you

Actually at this point i don't know if even modder can help me I think it's impossible to write an app that will work 'above' default lockscreen. Also only this one works properly with magnet sensor - any other custom lockscreen won't turn on the screen with button, when case is closed.
I found a solution in xposed framework - i just moved clock in default screen to the height of window in case. It's doing its job. I also adjusted the dark overlay, so it looks almost like S-View - ofc without picking calls and notifications number (tho if there is any notification the clock is slightly higher - coinsider it as bug or feature ).
Here is a snapshot of my current lockscreen: i.imgur.com/RMhAvYf.png
The better solution can come from widget that will show clock, date, notifications, maybe even give possibility to pick up calls. It can be done by another xposed apk, that let you add widgets to your default lockscreen.

Is there a need for a custom ROM for mi5s Plus ?

Hi there,
As a proud owner of a Xiaomi mi5s Plus and a compulsive flasher of custom ROM's, I had to get rid of that addiction to flashing when I get the mi5s Plus. Not that I wanted to get rid of it, but simply put, there was no way to get satisfaction by that addiction because of the lack of material to flash.
OK... So I thought to myself : "Am I really to live with MIUI 8.0.X.0 for ever ?", which in other words, means to live with the ROM that is probably the most far away from AOSP ROM ?
Answer was, unfortunately, undoubtedly : "Yes".
So it was time for me to make a hard introspection work... and answer that most philosophical question : "WHY do I want custom ROM ?".
Basically for 2 reasons :
- 1°) because I want something close to AOSP ;
- 2°) because I want to get the ability to customize things the way I want and not be in constant constraint like iPhone users are.
And now to the point : can I get those 2 things and still use MIUI 8.0 ?
At first I thought : "Hell no. This is too close to iPhone. In fact, should you just look the screen, you think you have an iPhone".
So I decided to change things interface wise...
First reflex was to get some themes from the in-built Xiaomi Store. What a disappointment ! About 90% of those themes are called something that contains "iOS". This is EXACTLY what I want to avoid !
So how to get rid of that apparent MIUI ? The answer is pretty simple : CHANGE THE LAUNCHER ! So I installed my favourite launcher : Smart Launcher from the former "Gin Lemon" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.flowerfree).
What do I get now ? Simple : I don't even notice that I am running MIUI anymore. Well, that is not exactly true. I still notice when I go to the "Settings". But that part is probably the only one that is still somewhat close to AOSP. So I can live with it despite so "rearrangements"... Indeed, once configured, I don't go to settings that often... So not a problem.
So I had to face the second reason for me to flash a custom ROM : customizations !
The most important thing to me is to be able to have shortcuts to actions and/or apps almost everywhere. I just hate to have to dig into menus, searches and stuff to be able to achieve what I am looking for. So of course, having an ROM that allows me to customize the interface is a great move. I can already have a bunch of shortcuts in Smartlauncher... but the best thing I can do is have a shortcut assigned to the hardware buttons... and there are 7 of them in the mi5s Plus (navigation : 3 ; volume : 2 ; power : 1 ; FP Scanner : 1).
So how to I do this ? I did some research but it rapidly became obvious that I will need to unlock the phone to root it and so be able to install XPosed framework and some XPosed modules. So I did. Applied to get the unlock code ; got it after 3 days. Unlocked the device, installed TWRP, installed SuperSU and installed XPosed framework.
So I of course installed the ultimate swiss army knife of UI customization : GravityBox. Unfortunately, it was of little help. It only really works when you have a "close to AOSP" ROM. But as mentioned earlier : MIUI is the farest thing to AOSP you can imagine. So a lot of tweaks had no effects. Still the major one is still present : the "App launcher". Hit a button, it will display a "pop-up" where you can add up to 12 shortcuts to apps. So I configured the "Home Butoon" to display it with a long press... I then wanted to configure the other buttons, but some can't be configured (Volume and Power), others don't take the mod ("Recents" button from the navigation buttons) and one breaks things (FP scanner => device doesn't wake AND unlock if used).
So I digged a little deeper and found another module called "XPosed Additions" : that one allows me to configure each button (yes, all seven buttons !) and I am able to assign up to 6 actions and/or shortcuts to each one of them ! And YES : that does include the FP scanner ! Imagine : for the FP Scanner :
- display off => power on & unlock ;
- display on + 1 tap => got to "Home"
- display on + long press => show the dialer (remember, even if "Smart" it's basically a "Phone" !) ;
- display on + double tap => display off
- display on + double tap and hold => bring up the camera ;
- display on + triple tap => bring up Waze ;
- display on + triple tap and hold => bring up the Radar app.
That was it on the buttons customization side. Now there was still one thing I couldn't stand in MIUI : that was the QuickSettings. I din't liked two things : "Aqua on white" for one ; not able to hide buttons I do no use for two.
For the first thing (appearance) the "Theme Store" is a nice help. Even if the theme is labelled "iOS", you won't noticed the Apple-ish look once the Launcher is installed. But you will still keep the appearance of the Quicksettings. So I applied a theme that had an appearance I found appealing.
For the second thing, another Xposed module helped : it's called "MIUI Tweaks". I gives the ability to hide the unused QuickSettings (and sideways to tweak a little the appearance : size and stuff, but notthe colour... which leaves the Them handy !).
CONCLUSION :
Even if I am, as mentioned in the brief introduction, a compulsive custom ROM flasher, I now live with MIUI 8.0 and I must say that I don't mind doing so ! At least I have everything working (camera, gallery, network, 4G...) and I also have a really nice battery life (I have used it for 48 hours and I still have 28% even though the Play Store updates automatically and I had several rather long phone calls and played "Darkness Reborn" for about 3h and played around with settings to fine tune my set-up... which gives a SOT of about 4h45minutes).
I am now waiting for Xiaomi to release a Nougat based ROM to maybe improve battery life even more...
But to tell the truth, even without a custom ROM, I am perfectly happy with this device... of course I had to spend about 5 dollars to unlock Xposed additions and MIUI tweaks (2.5 dollars each). But those were the most well-spent 5 dollars in the last 5 years ! And I will still be able to use those even if I change the phone... which I don't think will happen too soon !

Even with the few bugs it has I enjoy using lineage 14.1 way more than MIUI. Their whole apple-like approach to everything just drove me away. MIUI is just too bloaty and made me feel like my phone was being bogged down.

I just put Nova Launcher, and I don't feel bloatware at all (after 3 days of use at least).
Wish to root. And to do some changes to some buttons.
How to root?

Hi,
Yeah... I don't like it either.
But honestly, if you install another launcher, what is left of the iOS like interface ?
The "Power Menu" ? I don't use it daily...
And maybe the Notifications... But those can be changed via an XPosed module.
But of course, I agree that having the choice between several custom ROM's would be a nice addition to this device
Regards.

Hi Claudio,
To be able to root, you first need to unlock your bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader requires a permission to be granted by Xiaomi.
So you have to apply to get your unlock code.
To apply, please visit this page : "en.miui.com/unlock".
Regards.

In my Mi5s Plus I use "xMiui" and "Miui 8 Tweaks" modules: with these two modules, you can do many personalizzations like Gravity Box.
With BuilProp Editor I set the DPI to 360 to have a better use of display (icons in miui are so big!)
With these methods, I resolve all the problems with Miui interface.
But I have a multiboot way to switch to xiaomi.eu, Lineage and RR roms.
I hope Lineage and RR will be official for Mi5s Plus

One thing that I've discovered on my Xiaomi phones is that finding the right theme changes everything for the better. I was originally using the Android N theme, but recently switched to Stheme. I apply it globally (rather than in the window that allows customisation - dialer, messaging, status bar, etc). The advantage with doing this is that it themes the settings menu to a nice blue colour.
With Stheme installed, I get quick settings toggles that look like the Pixel's, and the colours in the stock messaging app become tolerable. I found that it themed the stock contacts app too dark for me, so I downloaded Zeny Purple, went into the customize theme page, and applied Zeny Purple to just the dialer. I also applied the Android N theme to just the icons.
Using these three themes, I was able to significantly improve things. I'm sure there are other decent themes available, although a lot of them are pretty ordinary.

[REQ] Face Unlock to show notification content

Would it be possible to develop a Magisk or Xposed module that hides the notification content on the lockscreen and only shows it when your face is detected? Like the iPhone ☓ does.
Unlocking the phone would still be performed by a safer method like pin, pattern or fingerprint.
Here is a video of this feature on the iPhone ☓:

Nice Idea dude !
Hope someone could work on this

Yes..it was ingenious of Apple to include this little feature with Face Unlock.
I wish this could be implemented in the OnePlus 5 and 5T as well..

I would prefer something like long press power button to show lock screen without FaceUnlock. With short press unlock the phone. Currently FaceUnlock is too quick and checking notification is really hard.

My idea is that the users face will never unlock the device, it will only show the notifications sensitive content when the users face is detected.
But there is a Xposed module that does something similar to what you are looking for, it Face Unlocks depending whether there are notifications or not.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-instant-unlock-t3688329#post74144137

It already available in settings/notifications
Touch the cogwheel and you get to select what shows on lockscreen(as you can see I'm on LB02 and at least here that option is available, can't remember N)

Which ROM has monthly security update?

Hi I'm using whyred redmi note 5 pro.
With miui 12.1 xiaomi.eu 20.6.18 beta and stock kernel.
Android 9. Orange Fox recovery.
2020-07-05 Android security patch level.
I liked to dirty flash because of only few steps.
Just download, flash, install magisk, wipe.
Then I can get new monthly security path.
I'm already used this way for almost 1 year.
Eu team stop weekly updating this device now so I just want to change to stable version.
But the stable Eu rom's update date showed in Eu website is not new.
So I want to change new rom with monthly security update.
Before doing this, do I need to change recovery?
I've heard about the difference between Android 9 and Android 10.
I really don't know how to join in,
I remember in Android 8 up to Android 9 I changed to orange Fox recovery.
Now so many roms in this forum is Android 10.
Is that easy from 9 to 10 from recovery wiping and flashing?
And which rom is your favorite and recommended?
I will try it in my leisure time. Thank you.

Official LOS have weekly if they have lucky :laugh:, havoc and crdroid have montly I think

First of all, apology for my bad English. Need a lot of effort to understand my words.
I used miui 12 before. There are battery saver, permission controller, app behavior history
and internet tracking in miui 12.
So you can give game app blank data to play game, find out why this hour battery losing too much,
reject permission asked too often and restrict background data uploading/downloading.
But all thing are gone in custom android 10 rom.
Gallery can't let you write down words or edit picture like miui.
I install few roms and share my feeling to you. My opinions are very personall.
Not suitable to everyone.

crDroidAndroid v6.9
My first rom, first thought is there is no fullscreen gesture?
This is my first custom rom, so a lot of thought between miui 12 and custom rom.
Volume bar too short.
https://imgur.com/a/x0Fmlzd
See that? My finger is too big that I can't see it. I can't see where I adjust. Just like asus rog 3.
Pick up ringtone music and plug in 3.5mm headphone.
Heard voice from speaker and headphone. Why??
Press volume down button and no AI choose which volume to control.
Volume control is a mess.
Android 9 to 10 is very smooth though. Easier than I think.
8/5 security patch. So I get my goal.
There are so many options and very cool design than miui rom in power button.
No night light to let me protect eyes.
Maybe I don't find it. Too many settings. And settings search is bad.
I try to open developer mode to use cmd.
In miui 12 press miui version few times then developer options appeared.
In android 10 is pressing that build number few times.

My redmi note 3 pro's power button is broken.
So I really need volume button to wake up phone to avoid that.
Double tap status bar to sleep. WoW~
Slide statue bar to adjust brightness. WOWWWWW~~~~
Power button is the same good. Support reboot to recovery.
Night light.

Battery charge animation.
Statue bar to sleep or control brightness.
Lockscreen shortcuts.

I think lineage rom is basic custom rom.
Aicp, AospExtended, ZenX-OS are more customize.
Black theme and color in notification are good, only this rom has black theme.
There are no 8/5 security patch and small windows.
Via browser installed. hmm....no thought.
Battery saver turn on and it said off. Still the same as others. Bug
Reboot to recovery in power button advanced options is not worked. Bug

Small windows.
Lockscreen shortcut.
Notification show battery temperature.
Advance reboot has an hot option. hot?? what is this option work for?

If you disable this you can get more screen view.
But I can't use back function.
And I will lose some view space. Worse than miui 12.
And now. I can't go back to eu miui.
Orangefox recovery can't restore my data.
I think the reason is android 9 and 10 maybe.
I will find some time to think about kernel or other thing to do.
ZenX-OS 1.8[STABLE] is my choice by the way.
If I said that no function in that rom, maybe I don't use it for 1 hour.
So I can't find it. Sorry about that.
You need to install rom yourself. Maybe I am wrong.

If you disable this you can get more screen view.
But I can't use back function.
And I will lose some view space. Worse than miui 12.
WTF
And now. I can't go back to eu miui. Orangefox recovery can't restore my data.
I think the reason is android 9 and 10 maybe.
I will find some time to think about kernel or other thing to do.
ZenX-OS 1.8[STABLE] is my choice by the way.
If I said there are no that function in that rom.
Maybe I don't use it for 1 hour. So I can't find it. Sorry about that.
You need to install rom yourself. Maybe I am wrong.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To go back to MIUI use fastboot ROM and flash it with MI Flasher tool -- important or you can brick your phone !!
Most of ROMs are based on LOS ROM.
I'm happy user of LOS ROM (official).
I never use fingers on bars (like volume, etc..) I'm using buttons. You can even extend steps with easy hack (module).
Power button action is always settupable ( like long press on screen off is gonna turn torch on, run camera on lock screen, extended power menu, etc). Same vol+ and vol - buttons (wake up phone, take screenshot,etc). Well and much more. All under settings. You didn't use it long time couse you wanna MIUI experience on other ROMs. You can forget that. LOS is Android ROM without balast.
You can load apps later if you want (gapps, full screen guestures, dual apps, etc). Its up to user decision and habits.
Don't compare ROMs like you did. Try to use it at least 1 week and mybe you'll discover some of the magic of ROM. I saw module to make for vol bars horizontally and big as hell even my grany could see that..( mybe you can try xposed app gravitybox to adds some extra options).
Good luck.

Thank you to tell me that. I will delete miui backup.
When I want to flash phone, I need to adb cmd to order phone.
Then I faced this problem.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...missions-request-settings-cant-verify-your-re
Then I turn of night light and hide gesture navigation bar then ok.
This problem is to wired.
So I need to make a decision between android 9 and 10.
Rotate landscape or portrait function is more good than android 9.
Show a small icon in right bottom, press to change.
Long screenshot in miui 12 always failed and bug still exist in beta until now.
So I'm very appreciated to XDA guys. Android 10 is more better.
I saw the screenshot package name is asus....uh?
Another problem is I can't use link2sd app to move user app to system app.
Link2sd is over.
It's just like you use Iphone before, and then you change to android phone.
You finally understand what is customizing your own phone, not stupid to use stock phone UI like Iphone anymore.
When I come to join in this android 10 custom rom party, I found out there are too many settings and I don't understand every options meaning.
So after 3 days I try it again.
https://ibb.co/wyJSwKw
I don't like this.
Why is there a space under keyboard?
Uh...This fullscreen gesture is so wired.
So I need to get a solution to fix this.
After 2 days using ZenX-OS.
Google news pushed a notification.
https://www.xda-developers.com/resu...android-10-xiaomi-oneplus-samsung-google/amp/
ok...that's try it.
Ui is like other lineage roms.
AudioFX app to control headphone I guss so.
8/5 security patch.
Build date Aug 19 2020 ? wow last week.
It's own settings is more good than others. I mean UI is more human friendly.
Yeah After so many roms I flashed, my brain is burning. Too many settings omg.
https://imgur.com/a/Noyu7nb
Just like this ui.
If you don't find some feature like 3 finger swipe down to screenshot?
In Resurrection Remix Version 8.5.8 you will find setting easily.
Just search screenshot.
Crdroid rom's ui is fine too.
And I find out how to fix keyboard and fullscreen gesture problem.
https://imgur.com/a/fxOtFFN
Thx god. We made it.
Finally when I key any words, no space under keyboard.
Why do we have two phone app? Plus recent app, we have 3 phone app here.

Bug?
After I flash Resurrection Remix rom, some shadow in screen while rebooting.
Just like amoled screen problem usually, But my redmi note 5 is lcd screen.
I choice lcd screen specially for this, so impossible happened.
Boot in system, than check screen is ok.
So this is a bug? I don't know.
The most biggest bug is.
After you use recovery, sometime phone will ask you to write lock pattern to start Android.
And Resurrection Remix rom has so tiny dot that too small so you can't draw pattern to unlock phone.
I just try it so many times to unlock. WTF !!
This rom is the most bug I'v ever seen.
Yeah in developer's eyes, it's not bug.
But to user, it's strange. Two phone app? Two clock app? Two browser?
Battery icon show strange dot? And latter I found out other rom will get this bug too.
https://streamable.com/y9vyco
Roms in XDA, settings just like something different parts and combine together.
It cost too much time for noob like me.
This rom is special. But bug is the most strange one.
After 2 days using ZenX-OS, app icon in status bar is wired, data transfer in usb to pc is broken, fingerprint is too difficult to unlock screen. Reboot into recovery to copy other rom.
Change to aicp rom to use
4 hours use.
Anything perfect, and you can block ad in settings, I try few websites and work very well.
there is a default music enhance app let speaker can not be turned to small voice.
So don't use it.
Fullscreen gesture under virtual keyboard can not be disable.
Partial screenshot is not worked. But it doesn't matter.
Change to SuperiorOS-Phoenix to use.
uh...pokemon pikachu voice after reboot phone. lolllll
Via browser.
Lawnchair launcher.
Fullscreen gesture default. But SuperiorOS even has no this option to hide gesture back function space in keyboard.
So...pass it.
DerpFest-10-Official-whyred-20200424.zip
Too old to me. Not new.
I think I need to find rom which I flashed before.
ZenX-OS 1.8 no gesture option like SuperiorOS so pass.
CrDroid has Pie settings navigation mode.
Just like I played it in Android 4.4.3. Or you can chose its very strange swipe up navigation gesture mode.
Havoc OS is like ZenX-OS and SuperiorOS no fullscreen gesture. pass
Try out pixel experience rom
PixelExperience rom.
Wow 08/21 update
Finally I got Hide the navigation bar pill toggle to off it.
And no space under keyboard. I got my goal.
You can't use wifi display aka miracast.
you can't screenshot.
Uh...why? I just Want this gesture
So if I want to hide bar pill I need to use rom with so many bad thing.
Pixel experience or Resurrection Remix 8.5.7.
I want to give aicp rom a try. I remember there is a option.
https://imgur.com/a/q9LiOre
No this hide region of back function in keyboard no worked indeed.
I...
I use Resurrection Remix 8.5.7 then.
Hope I can draw that small pattern to unlock...sigh
https://imgur.com/a/ZDs2tMT
See this? Who can draw it ?????
sigh
There is no shadow in screen before reboot this time. Thank god.
But still 2 clock, 2 contacts, 2 message, 2 phone.
I don't flash any gaaps.
It's flash super gaaps itself?
But I need fullscreen gesture. I choice this rom now.
https://imgur.com/a/WHq2Amf
Continue facing more problem.
Screen lock in NOVA LAUNCHER is easy.
I just set gesture to swipe up to lock screen.
And swipe up from bottom to call app drawer.
But now this problem below.
https://help.teslacoilapps.com/faq/gesture-navigation
So suck.
So my question is why I can use NOVA launcher in miui 12 android 9,
and now I can't do this.
Give it a try.
Move NOVA LAUNCHER to /system.
Then delete GOOGLE LAUNCHER in /system.
Guess what?
App switcher while you swipe up and hold function is not worked.
So the fullscreen gesture is in GOOGLE launcher.
OMG...
So how to get my goal. Lock screen gesture? Over here.
https://imgur.com/a/sci0quw
Set this to back gesture and hold for a while to lock gesture.
But I miss miui 12 feature that you can back gesture and hold to back to last app.
So strange. You can just copy miui 12 fullscreen gesture.
Then delete that two gaaps in Resurrection Remix 8.5.7 while they have 2 app the same.
Delete contact, browser, message, etc.
And OK now.
I am facing new problem.
Pressing power button to lock screen is work with instantly close phone option.
Back gesture and hold to lock screen to lock, 5 sec latter vibrate 1 time.
And if you let phone face you and lock screen, face unlock function will process.
So something inside cause this bug.
https://ibb.co/J28P5vz
Turn it off, then no vibration after screen off by back gesture.
But face unlock function still work.
Uh...No solution. I'm done.
That means every time I swipe to lock phone, Phone work for 5 sec for trying to unlock.
The one last thing I can't fix is when I use keyboard, try to use swipe space button to move cursor. Swith app function let whole Window follow my finger and want to switch app.
So I need to press more up a little to move cursor avoid that.
After so many problem in Android 10.
I'm OK now.
Still need to say, why Google don't just use miui 12 full screen gesture?
While I blame on Android 10,
off course Miui 12 beta is not perfect.
Long screenshot never work and they pretend the fuction is OK for almost 7 month.
Rotation feature is bad after experience Android 10.
Dark theme in gmail, Google assistant, Google play in Android 10.
I can get skip to direct unlock pattern in Android 10 now. I can just draw pattern to unlock. No need to swipe up then unlock.
I remember I can directly unlock pattern few years ago.
Now I get this feature back.
https://ibb.co/pzZ6t3s
Facing new bug. Turn on mobile data network then phone reboot.
Do not flash Resurrection Remix 8.5.7 if you want to try these bugs.
MSM Xtended XQ Release v12.5
Back gesture and hold to lock screen will instantly lock.
aicp_whyred
Corvus_v8.5-Sage
Keyboard the same problem. Space under keyboard.
EvolutionX_4.6 and Pixys OS Q
GJ toggle off IME button space and pill.
GO in Pixys OS Q rom then phone blink all the time. Uh...my eyes...
I look around then yeah it's cool. You can disable IME button space and pill.
My eyes....
So now we have pixel experience, EvolutionX_4.6, Pixys OS Q and Resurrection Remix 8.5.7 can do this.
Pixel experience no screenshot and miracast pass.
Resurrection Remix 8.5.7 bug too many pass.
Pixys OS Q blinking screen pass.
EvolutionX_4.6 can't skip notification to draw pattern directly, but it's ok~
Uh I have no back gesture and hold to lock screen or skip notification to swipe pattern directly features in EvolutionX from.
And even no record voice app in ROM.
What should I do. How to combine all feature in one from.
I remember Pixys OS Q has two rom to download.
So try to download another rom to use.
There are gaaps inside and the other is not.
Both are blink while I pull down notification.
So I need to decide which rom to use... Every rom has its own feature and I can't find the balance.
I'm curious for one new thing.
All these android 10 roms don't have MTP mode to link to PC.
why?
I use Masik P Port now thx all.
Masilk P Port rom can't use Wifi display.
Gonna find other rom to use...Uh...
2020 09/27
There are a lot of telegram channel. So many people help me.

2020 10/11
8.6.2 resurrection remix 10.1 agni kernel 7.0 agni firmware
I don't like pixel launcher. But android 10 fullscreen gesture need it.
I use Action launcher v46. Try to replace pixel launcher.
But no home gesture and recent app gesture function.
Swipe up to home page, swipe up and hold to see recent app.
These both is only in pixel launcher.
Come on Google, the most important feature is third party launcher.
With thrid party launcher we can do our own style phone.
Now you tell me only pixel launcher can use fullscreen gesture?
Ridiculous "dock search box" and sucked "at a glance" let the whole phone stupid.
Very genius google. :/
