Question MIUI13 A12 - able to switch to old notification style? - Redmi Note 9T

Hi,
On A12, Google changed the quick style notification toggles and this takes up a lot of unnecessary space and I personally hate this. The old notification style allows you to see much more toggles.
My question is, does MIUI13 A12 have an option to revert to the old notification style? At the moment on A11, you can choose to use the new style or the old style in the built-in MIUI settings. I don't know if this is removed in MIUI13 or not and I don't want to waste the time to upgrade just to find out.
If it supports switching to the old style on MIUI13, then that's great, as there's finally a OFox that can support storage decryption on A12.

Hi,
I am attaching some screenshots and hope that they answer your question.
They are from the MIUI 13 notification style. Small bug when pulling down in landscape mode, only half the screen is utilized.

Perfect, that's what I needed.
How is MIUI 13 so far, especially the battery life?

I have noticed quite a significant amount of battery loss compared to 12 and the dark mode isn't the same (not as efficient at dimming). The minimum brightness is also higher for some random reason. Nothing I can't live with but it would have been good if I knew this before updating.

2 questions, one column (in PIE)

I have a t-mobile us touch pro 2, stock rom, and for the life can't figure out how to enable single column mode in PIE.
Slightly related, if I go into zoom out mode in PIE, should the zoom bar do anything? I've spent a lot of time trying to determine if my zoom bar is broken or if it just doesn't actually do much.
--fg
having not heard anything, i'm going to have to believe one-column mode was removed in pie with wm6+
I have since upgraded to the stock wm6.5 rom and can say the zoom bar seems to be slightly more sensitive and definitely more integrated with pie, doing more than just changing the font size. Still not convinced it aint broken, but at least now i can see it working.

Oreo number of rows in quick settings

Hi,
can somebody please tell me how to add the 3rd row of quick setting toggles in the Oreo update like it was with Nougat?
I've tried Oreo for the third time now but several things simply don't work anymore or got worse in comparison with Nougat.
I could live with a few of those but only having two rows of quick setting toggles is definatily not one of them.
I tried gravitybox (it's missing the option to manage the vibration strength of the virtual buttons and the battery tile now has additional text which takes up all the space so the temperature part isn't visible anymore.)
Furthermore I had to buy a substratum theme to not vomit from the white quick settings panel. With the march security update the installation is now as tedious as with Nougat due to the forced reboot.
The Xposed module HowGiveLolli doesn't work anymore and the centered normal letters instead of all upper case was a real nice feature.
Why are the points in the settings app regrouped so it's harder to find specific settings?
There are simply so many bad design choices in my eyes I can't bring myself to live with Oreo due to not finding substitute functions for the missing ones.
Kind regards
I know you posted this last month so you hopefully figured it out, but either way I thought I'd share the answer since someone else might want to know in the future.
It has to do with the display scaling in Settings\Display\Advanced\Display Size. If set to default or large, you only get two rows of quick settings. If you set to small, the UI shrinks and as a side effect you get three rows of quick settings tiles. You can always increase the font size afterward if it's too small, but reducing the display scaling is the only way to have enough room to display three rows.

Thanks for posting the solution. I simply restored my Nougat backup as I never upgraded my bootloader for that matter. I don't think I'll be using Oreo until I get a new phone which possibly can't be a Moto Z3 because I'm not really convinced they will release anything more than the Z3 play.

Hi and thanks for this trick : as a matter of fact I was always on "small" in Nougat and it worked nice with 3 rows, but with Oreo I needed to switch to "smaller" to switch from 2 to 3 rows :silly:

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.

Thank you for this port! I have been using it for a while and so far it does not have any major problems. Everything runs smoothly, unlike the other unofficial Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 ROM posted on this forum. The camera app gives low quality pictures, but that can be fixed by installing a compatible Google Camera. The UI looks great, however I noticed two apparent mistakes. First, in the Control Center the Mobile data label actually does not fit when the UI text size is set to default, and it shows Mobile da...
The second thing is that in music playback notifications the time codes on both sides of the playback slider are way too small and out of place. And they cannot be dismissed even when playback is stopped/paused. Also, sometimes, in the Control center, some quick toggles get greyed out randomly, mostly the Cast and the Screen record buttons. Overall, it is a good ROM, and I am looking forward for any updates.

I will advice you to just disable the control center.
Goto settings>Display>Status Bar>Use Control Center
And turn it off.
I never used control center as it is annoying for me so I did not know about that issue..
Just change the font size and it will be okay.
Actually, the Control Center brought me back to MIUI after 2 months of Havoc OS, so I don't want to get rid of it. I tried changing the font size, but that made the whole UI look a bit ugly. I found an app called MIUI 12 Control Center on Google Play, that offers some customization and makes notifications look a bit more consistent, but that is ridden with bugs. I've seen on YouTube that the newer builds of MIUI 12 have the Control center and the notifications fixed, so I hope OP will update this ROM as soon as possible.

Different fonts make look different. Try to use some other font then. Or you can change the screen resolution to 414 .

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.
