Hi simple question is there anyway to force dark/black mode across the board including gmail whats app etc. I am on miui 10 eu and there is a dark mode for system apps etc but not everything is dark.
For other apps we have to wait to get in the trend. Gmail I believe is on the way to get dark mode. It depends on the developers.
No it's not possible right now. Wait for Android 10 for system wide dark node.

I'm already on Android miui 10.
Miui 10 is the version of miui. The current Android ver is 9.
I see well it is a bit confusing they should keep in line with the Android build and name the skin accordingly. Anyhow I did see a video somewhere on YouTube where the person used a setting to theme everything into black including the apps but I can't find it anymore.

Hi All,
So I have been trying to switch to android 10 couple times (3 exact) but because of it's bugs/annoyances it is really impossible to have it as a daily driver. Here are couple that I've found:
- bottom chin when keyboard is enabled (like really, what the hell. I know that for some folks that option is great and all, but it is making the keyboard unusable for me. I often touch the spot where the space bar should be and because of that writing seems very uncomfortable...
- LAG WHEN COMING BACK TO HOMESCREEN FROM APP - this is the biggest one for me. That problem occurs when you are using a custom launcher (like Nova, Evie etc.). Every time when you are coming from app to the homescreen, there is slightly delay in animation (like icons need some time to load...). That for me is biggest issue. Why do I need to withstand the lag in the system, when I have the fastest android smartphone on the planet?! Yet still i haven't found an solution for that (besides turning the animation completely off....)
If you don't have any those (or similar) problems and for you this update is gods gift then please don't respond....
I'am really disappointed with this Update and it seems that Oneplus is not going fix/change anything at all with it because they have already started rolling out the updates for Oneplus 6...
Feel free to comment on that topic
Thanks
Paweł
Just so you know the keyboard space is on every phone with Android 10, it is part of Googles implementation of gestures. It allows the use of gestures while the keyboard is open without typing or typing without triggering gestures.
Have you thought of using the stock luncher?...
@Snowolf940
Well Mr. Snow wolf, "sucks" is a relative term but I found 10.0.0 too buggy for me so I moved back to 9.5.11 and waited for another update.
10.0.1 solved all of the issues that bothered me except that annoying space under the keyboard. That made it so difficult to type for me. I understand the frustration there.
I stumbled upon this awesome fix yesterday here at xda. -100 did it best for me. The -75 was not enough removal of space.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/themes/fix-adb-disable-black-bar-10-0-1-t3987731
I haven't noticed the animation lag on Nova (which I am using) you were speaking about so sorry I can't help with that. But I would genuinely be surprised if it wasn't ironed out in the next update which personally I would guess would be soon.
I hope this helps you. Hang in there man. There will be better days ahead.
I don't know exactly what the issue with the keyboard layout is, but my keyboard hasn't changed.

It has been stated many times across many threads here at xda regarding the space between the keyboard and the bottom of the phone when using gestures (not a nav bar). When someone is not used to that space, users are hitting it accidentally instead of the spacebar creating many errors in typing. If you are using a navbar this does not apply. The keyboard you are using is not relevant either.

I have heard that this option also cut the toast notifications which is bad
I am just really disappointed with this update. I have thought that the company like Oneplus just can't roll out so unpolished firmware.
Right now iam afraid that going back to 10 will be just waste of time....
+ I also recall that I was not able to turn off the Facebook messenger vibrations without completely turning them off...

I have not had this issue with the toast notification. I also haven't had the animation issue either. There are users having no problems at all on 10 so maybe you need to investigate more.
My only issue was with the keyboard and that modification fixed it.
You have other companies literally breaking wifi and data with updates so if OnePlus adds a space under the keyboard which has a fix, I think most will think it's okay.
But I would at least try the keyboard fix instead of just complaining when others are giving solutions.
The Facebook thing I don't know because I don't use Facebook and that app is the worst app for a phone known to man.
I've noticed some apps crashing, but I'm rooted so it is what it is. Overall no major issues here

Please do not disregard the problem only because for most people Android Auto works fine
Same thing with my issues with Android 10.
So after reinstalling it (4th time, full wipe every time ofc), I still have a delay when coming back to the homescreen from my Lanucher (it doesn't matter which 3rd party launcher I use). It's really pissing me off...
Once again, I do not understand comments like "for me everything works fine/ I can't see the problem". That's because either you are lucky one and Oneplus made a version of software especially for you (sarcasm on) or you are unable to see it... So please don't commit to this conversation if you don't have anything interesting to say. We all know that your version of Android 10 is pure perfect (please brag somewhere else)

Haha! This is hilarious! :good:
I saw that this thread was bumped and I was like, "this dude is still complaining?" :laugh:
I'll report that I'm on ob5 and this is awesome. Android auto running well as is everything else. I guess I avoided the user error bug. I figure, if we have identical phones, and mine works great on the same software another is having issues with, it's either user error or maybe a bad phone and it needs to be replaced? Not sure.

What launcher are you using?
Oh, there's also no delay going to the homescreen on a proper setup. If you want to use gestures on a custom launcher, it has to have quickstep support and you need to use quickswitch to set it as the recents provider

What?
Honestly, I am surprised that nobody else has this problem with the delay or "notices" it. Of course I am happy for you! :good:
But unfortunately I also have this problem and it sucks really!
I have had the problem with Lawnchair, but the Nova Launcher also has this problem. Installing QuickSwitch does not help, it says that the launcher is not compatible with it...
That alone makes me think about either going back to Android 9 or trying out a custom Rom. But the problem seems to be widespread on Android 10.
Actually, the Stock Launcher is great, but I don't have the possibility to adjust icon sizes and grid. The presets are not enough. And I really don't like the drawer with this strange semi-transparent background.
At the end, i really hoping so that one or the either probem(s) will be fixed. I'm soo upset because of this crap but i should not be able to be so on such an high priced smartphone really...
Maybe you are mostly on Open Beta 5/6 and that lag is actually fixed?!..

I have started to notice the lag on launcher when unplugging the phone after using Android Auto.
What fixes it for me is to lock the screen and unlock it again a few times and then if will become responsive again.
This oddly (or not...) also coincides with some server side changes that Google pushed to Android Auto to enable the new features.
Adding here that the theme changes have just gone worse with 10.0.2 - theme follows the car, so if you use a dark theme and the car is in daytime, it will change the theme on the phone to bright when you exit Android Auto.
Also, the audio quality is pretty horrid and still not fixed, but I am experiencing with a workaround and will report when I have more concrete results
Just picked up the China 64/6GB configuration (RMX1931), got Google Play running, all looking good, until I ran into the following OS limitations that I've never seen before in about 10 previous Android devices and at least 20 different OS's:
- I can't change the default launcher. Have seen tutorials for what must be previous versions of ColorOS on Oppo devices showing that the launcher can be changed under Additional Settings > App Management > Default App. In this version, App Management is in the root options menu, but the Default App menu doesn't include a launcher option. Attempting to set a new default launcher from within the new launcher app just doesn't take--no matter how many times I pick "use as default launcher," upon hitting home I go right back to the ColorOS launcher. It's mind-blowing to me that Oppo would have the shortsightedness to lock out one of the most key features of Android customizability...surely there's a way around this, has anyone found it? Because the stock launcher suuuucks.
- I can't set vibrate-only notifications. I can for ringtones, but not notifications. There's no "None" option for notification sounds, and no option to enable vibration or choose a vibration style for notifications. Unbelievable.
- I can't change the default SMS app. Well, I can, but the OS automatically changes it back to the stock SMS handler every time I receive an SMS, and I can't find any way to disable this.
Much obliged if anyone has found any workarounds to the above issues that they can share. I am REALLY excited for someone to come out with a way to flash stock Android on this thing. Great hardware value, but this stock OS...for the most part it's fine, but it's blocking functionality that's been available on every Android phone for the past decade. I can't imagine what the software team behind this was thinking.
Wow. Good for me I did not pre-orded the european version yesterday, I'm using Nova Prime launcher on every phone for years and also textra, that's a no go for this phone for me now... And I have no doubt what you say is true.
One thing tho, I'm french, saw a french review of the X2 Pro a few weeks ago, and the guy clearly said he installed textra and adviced users to do so, and didn't share any complains so...
But right now I'm gonna stand with your testimony and hold my purchase, thanks for sharing mate and hope you will find a solution if there is one.
It could be due to the fact it's a chinese version.
I guess EU version on pre order on the official site won't 'suffer' those limitations.
Let's wait for more feedback

I also have the Chinese version of the phone to the 8GB 128gb version. I also cannot change the launcher or change default applications. Hoping a custom or global ROM will come out so I can flash it over. I also have weird black lines that appear in my camera sometimes but only in my room I've noticed doesn't do it outside. they show up in the picture or video but when I'm in good lighting or outside they don't appear. Just in my room regardless of how the lighting is it's super weird. Otherwise the camera is pretty good. Can be a lot better with some software tweaks. Also when I swipe down on the home screen some of the phone is still in Chinese even though it's set in English. I can't get Google assistant on it either. It has its own built-in called breeno but it's all Chinese. Otherwise the performance of the phone is great if you could get oxygen OS on it it would be perfect. Battery life is really good currently at 50% 9 hours and 11 minutes of use and 4 hours and 11 minutes of screen on time. Charging a super fast and I typed all of this using talk to text.

Install your preferred launcher first, than uninstall default launcher with adb commands (many guides about that), you are good to go.

Doesn't work, on attempting to delete system apps, including launcher (com.oppo.launcher), I get the following return:
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Can uninstall other apps no problem with adb commands. Also, this is a unique error return; the error you get for trying to uninstall the wrong package name or a package that doesn't exist is different.
It looks to me like changing the launcher or permanently changing the SMS handler on the Realme X2 Pro will not be possible without root. I do see that there's a test version of TWRP out for this device, so I'll try getting SuperSU running and uninstall the system launcher that way.

So sorry to hear that, and so nonsense that Oppo (Realme) isn't allowing for a simple launcher change. Just because of those stupid things I'm not buying any phone that can't be rooted. But X2 Pro will get root eventually.

You mean an EU version? It definitely looks like the launcher restriction is an issue with the original chinese versions and there still appears to be no clarity on whether anyone has managed to get the EU rom on a CN phone.
The EX on the version number looks to me to indicate the global versions and this seemingly prevented people flashing it on the X2 so I suspect the X2 Pro has the same problem.
Just try pocco launcher guys.
Very light and looks like near to stock AOSP experience

Yes, I've done this and can confirm it works. More detailed infos here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
HOWEVER: Nova's Google companion does not work well. I often cannot slide to the very left and then I have to play around with the auto start and energy saving settings.
Also ColorOS keeps changing certain notification settings. Spotify and my Podcast App don't get shown on the Lockscreen, the settings are simply changed back without me doing this. And my calendar widget "Todo agenda" is often not populated with data and becomes useless.
For me, it's a pretty nasty mix of annoyances and shortcomings right now and I'm not thrilled by the Chinese version at all.
I will try to flash the EU Rom, but haven't seen it uploaded anywhere yet...
If that or future software updates won't solve the problems, then I will sell it again.
Hi all,
For some reason some notifications are not visible on the statusbar.
They can be seen on the Always On display, and if you pull down the statusbar the notifications are visible there, but not on the statusbar itself as an icon.
I noticed that you can configure each app individually to either show or not, but in my case they all are configured to show the icon.
Might this be a bug? Has anyone else this same issue?
Edit: I just found the cause. Some apps have 'categories' in the 'Manage notifications' submenu. You have to click on these categories and in that submenu you have the option 'Display on statusbar'! No idea why some where set to OFF.
Hi,

Coming from an S10+ (just like you) you will notice an incredible speed difference. I always believed the S10 was fast (enough). But the Oppo is on a whole new level.
Charging speeds are insane, but that probably is because I have been anti-spoiled by Samsung for so long
It's also worthy to mention that the device doesn't heat up while charging, so it's much more comfortable to hold.
The Oppo is 20 grams or so heavier, which doesn't sound like much, but I really notice it. It's also a bit top heavy, so be careful when holding it
It feels great in your hands though. The back side is indeed fingerprint proof if you get the blue matte version.
The OS has a lot of customization to offer, and I love the (off screen) gestures (I have now also switched from navigation buttons to gestures for navigations).
OneUI has even more options though! Especially if you were using Good Lock. I miss the option to have thumbnails in the task manager. I even miss the bixby button which could be reprogrammed
Face unlock is really fast, as is the FP unlock. If you hold the sensor after unlocking you get a shortcut to 5 favorite apps.
It's a great way to open your hue app or a remote, I just keep forgetting about it and release too soon
Oh, the screen protector is terrible, especially if you want to use the gestures you always move your finger over the edge and it doesn't feel comfortable. So I ripped it off.
Finally I tried out the native launcher, but reverted back to Nova quickly. It's not possible to replace the folder icons by a custom icon.

It feels great in your hands though. The back side is indeed fingerprint proof if you get the blue matte version.
The OS has a lot of customization to offer, and I love the (off screen) gestures (I have now also switched from navigation buttons to gestures for navigations).
OneUI has even more options though! Especially if you were using Good Lock. I miss the option to have thumbnails in the task manager. I even miss the bixby button which could be reprogrammed
Face unlock is really fast, as is the FP unlock. If you hold the sensor after unlocking you get a shortcut to 5 favorite apps.
It's a great way to open your hue app or a remote, I just keep forgetting about it and release too soon
Oh, the screen protector is terrible, especially if you want to use the gestures you always move your finger over the edge and it doesn't feel comfortable. So I ripped it off.
Finally I tried out the native launcher, but reverted back to Nova quickly. It's not possible to replace the folder icons by a custom icon.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm more impatient now ! It sound great.
And last question (I promise ) the native apps is it from Google (Gmail, chrome, Google calendar,...) ? Or Oppo (like Samsung mail or Samsung calandar version Oppo ) ? Thanks again
It has a lot of Google apps builtin. I didn't really see many Oppo equivalents.
However, some apps can't be uninstalled, which I hate. Think Facebook.

I have no use for BREENO[in Chinese] or Hey Tap[ seems to replace a familiar Android System admin app] .. Cannot use Google1 to restore old SMS/MMS from my Oneplus5. Cannot select new default messaging app [ TEXTRA] . Cannot , or cannot recall how to select default Launcher [EVIE]. Hope we get ROMs here eventually so to have it behave more like a OnePlus /US phone than a Chinese phone.
Help!

Coming from an S10+ (just like you) you will notice an incredible speed difference. I always believed the S10 was fast (enough). But the Oppo is on a whole new level.
Charging speeds are insane, but that probably is because I have been anti-spoiled by Samsung for so long

default Launcher? I haven't set one for a couple of years, but now I cannot seem to figure how to choose my own preferred [Evie] , or why I cannot set default Messaging App [Textra], or get back my SMS/MMS that are backed up by Google1 to G-Drive.
How did you get Nova as chosen default Launcher?

I just installed Nova and it set itself as the default.
But if you go to settings and type default app then you can set all the default apps too.

Where did you buy your phone? I guess you have a Chinese OS Version?
I have no Breeno, no textra or Hey Tap.

Example: Settings, Messaging App: only shows choice Oppo-native, installed one. In Textra it prompts to make it default,, but sending a message results in the device declaring for some security reason it is resetting default to OPPO-native. BTW, OPPO-native is a low function featurelss app.
Launcher: old OnePlus5 in Default Apps has category: Home app [Launcher selection] , nothing like it in the choices under Default Apps on the FindX3pro
Google1 blocked from backing up MMS
My preferred File Manager: ES File Explorer pro lets me attempt to attach my G-Drive [cloud], passes through all the steps correctly, only to conclude "Auth Failed". The g-dive is fully accessible using the Google Drive app, but integration with ES is convenient, has been for years.
Any idea on how to address 'security issues' for either messaging or ES File Explorer?

Exactly, AliExpress straight from China. Language: English fine, but perhaps I was sloppy not being sure of a "Global version" . Any thoughts? Patience: Wait for rooting and ROMs?
Where did you get yours? Version?
Textra? I installed. My preferred Messaging App [ LOL, not OPPO's clearly]

I got one from my provider in Holland. International version.
Maybe it is possible to update it with an international ROM? I don't know if the connectivity is working fine too, 4G, 5G?

Sure look forward to giving it a try. Not even sure if there are tiny differences that would make the intl-ROM incompatible. I'm getting OTAs but the Chinese ones I think
[4G coverage good, not noticed or had 5G yet].
Over the last 4yrs I think I only took OTA from OnePlus & rooted it. The 4yrs prior the lock on the Samsung Note4 was never 'broken', Then 3 yrs prior with the Samsung Galaxy Captivate I sure enjoyed XDA-roms & rooting, but that was long ago, & I'm still dependent on skills of others.

I quit custom roms after the S7. And that one had a OneUI based 'optimized' ROM.
Maybe you can try this (I haven't just saw it yesterday in my ColorOS telegram group)
Oppo ColorOS System Launcher [v11.3.520]
New ColorOS System Launcher update – v11.3.520 for OPPO devices: OPPO officially announced the new ColorOS skin version. The new interface brings visual changes including app icon redesign and customization options. The Android 12-based ColorOS 12 brings tons of new features such as enhanced...

Problem with Nova or any custom launcher on any Android 11 phone is that the navigation gestures dont work properly, there is a screen flicker issue when you swipe to go to homescreen. Thats why i am stuck with stock launcher on any new phone i get.
Hi All
Currently running the china rom until I can flash the eu one in 7 days. Was just wondering is there anyway to use Nova and gestures?
I've installed fluid navigation, granted over adb and it works perfect until the screen goes off. As soon as the screen goes off it seems to kill fng which then doesn't work again until a reinstall. It's really weird
Hello,
Heard that it has something to do with miui optimizations, try disabling that from the developer options and let us know how it goes.
Cheers !
Thanks, tried that but still no joy. Works fine until the screen goes off then it completely kills it. Must be something with stock gesture taking over but they don't work with Nova
Using the edge gestures app and this seems to work..
sorry to hear that, i also have the premium Nova launcher app and waiting to see whenever they will make this possible. i even bought sesame integrations for it .
saw a workaround on the mi.com forum but that guy was using xiaomi.eu
https://c.mi.com/thread-3660446-1-0.html
Not willing to flash xiaomi.eu only for this functionality, not to mention that they really improved the stock launcher in miui 12 and 12.5 sounds even more interesting .
Cheers !
Working well now with edge gestures, even from the bottom.
The nova Google now page doesn't work though for some reason. Ive still got 6 days to decide whether I'm flashing eu or not lol

how did you now get it working?
Edge gestures from play store works great. Doesn't even need adb permissions.
My Google feed page randomly started working too on nova :/
Only issue currently is now with Google news widget. I can press the buttons to scroll through headlines but can't open it by pressing :/ unless I open the app first then the widget works again for a short while lol

Same, I thought I would have to flash the eu rom and use nova launcher but I can't live without gestures but after a day I figured out how to turn on the app drawer and get rid of the vault and all that Chinese nonsense.
They're is a lot of crap I could uninstall from the cmd line but I'm getting great battery life already and I don't want to break it .
After Watching a YouTube video on miui 12 features I learned how to make miui launcher almost like nova
Still have 5 days to decide whether to install the eu rom but I heard you can't relock the bootloader ( or it bricks ) and this will break all your finance and banking apps which would be unacceptable...

I started with that one which got rid of the vault and the Chinese search bar which made the phone usable with an app drawer
Last night I found a 1 click debloater for xiaomi phones and got rid of more but I'm not finished yet.....
