[Q] Customizing the MotoBlur ICS - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi all,
I have several other Android devices at home, all of them runing CM7 or CM9. While I appreciate some of the things the Motorola ROM (GSM here) delivers, I'm missing quite a bit as well:
- grid size on home screen - having 3 widgets fills out completely a screen; I'm looking for a 50% or 100% increase in rows and columns. DPI changer is not able to provide that
- battery reporting is only done in 10% increments; I'm using Circle Battery Widget as a workaround
- no way to toggle 2G/3G with a switch. Using notification toggle because I cannot live without status bar toggles
- provider name is too long in the status bar
- no way to tweak auto light levels
- lock screen does not display any info about missed calls or messages
- notification led does not have any settings
- cannot assign custom shortcuts or wakeups - like pressing both volume buttons to open camera from lock
- no way to change the number of screens in home
- widgets do not get updated after an install, I need to kill the launcher first
- stock gallery looks really sad and performs slowly on zoom
- there is no "charge only" option beneath the usb/mtp/ptp
- no color themes for home screen, so I can use darker colors for power saving
- no themes for email widget, same reason
- email widget uses a lot of power (partial wake) even though the accounts are set to sync once per hour
- I don't see any way to take HDRs with the stock camera app. I thought this was default in ICS
- cannot use any other external sound equalizer - tried mostly with DSPManager
- stock music app does not wake on bluetooth control; if it's paused for more than 30 seconds I need to open it again to be able to resume music
- stock equalizer messes up the volume of the music pretty bad and it compresses the sound
- cannot assign a long press on the back button to kill the current app
On the other hand there are some new custom features which I really like, like the 'disable' application button, smart actions, detailed data usage and data limits, disabling background data, ...
So my question is, how can I enable some of the stuff above without losing a lot of battery life, money or UI integration (I'm thinking metro-like simplistic looks).

I'm also missing the option to disable individual permissions for apps, but the "disable background data" built-in feature fulfills 80% of this. I would have loved to be able to disable location awareness for some apps.
Right now the biggest gripe is the 10% step on battery reporting, I cannot get accurate battery stats. Still, that part is in part filled by BetterBatteryStats.

[Share] Xposed Modules you use

Hello fellow Xperia SP users!
I'm starting this thread so that we can inform each other of cool/useful Xposed modules that we use... and perhaps give each other some input on the proper usage of each module, or whether the module has been superseded by another, or...
Well, you get the general idea.
So, let me start by listing my modules and my reason for installing each:
Android Phone Vibrator -- mainly to make the phone vibrate when outgoing call is connected. Thus, I don't have to keep holding the phone against my ears while waiting for the destination to pick up the phone.
App Settings -- mainly to selectively allow automatic screen rotation for some apps.
BootManager -- to disable some apps from starting automatically on boot
Burnt Toast -- cosmetic addition; I like seeing the icon of the app that generates the toast
Complete Action Plus -- mainly to get the GB-style "tap to choose the app, check 'Always' to make it permanent" pop-up. It has an additional feature of being able to 'hide' apps I don't ever want to share with, and even sort the list.
ExpandableVolume -- adds a button on the volume 'toast', to allow setting of all settable volumes quickly
Greenify -- part of the Greenify Donation app
Performance Profile -- allows setting maxfreq/minfreq per app; thus apps that seem to drain my battery when being open, usually get their maxfreq lowered to 1.2 GHz (or lower) to help reduce battery usage
ReceiverStop -- to disable some apps from starting automatically on certain events
Ringer & Notification Volume Unlink in ICS/JB -- as the title says
SPDY -- this is a backport of KitKat's OkHttp module to ICS/JB. Not sure if it's effective, but doesn't hurt so far...
Swap Volume Keys -- when landscape, the Vol Up & Vol Down keys are swapped to make them more intuitive
SystemUI Patcher -- mainly to make the status bar transparent on the home screen ... see this thread for more info.
Tinted Status Bar -- to make the status bar auto-adapt to the app. It's a hit-and-miss situation, currently, but it makes my status bar less boring, so I'm keeping it. For now
Whatsapp Quiet Hours -- forces Whatsapp to be quiet during my sleep
XHaloFloatingWindow -- enables 'halo' floating window, similar to ParanoidAndroid
Xperia™ Xposed -- mods a lot of Xperia's SystemUI elements, bundled by eXistenZ Ultra
That's mine. What's yours?
I am currently using
tinted status bar: for make xperia more beautiful
App settings: Fixing memory management, works great with greenify, i Keep xperia home, music player and Chrome resident when I am using it, no force closes, When not using just greenify.
I am actually using :
- Gravity Box for the customisation
-xhaloFloatingWindow for the windows too
-Adaway to hide ads
-Greenify to stop some apps.
-SmoothProgressBar
-Swap Volume keys

What I'm using:
-ActivityForceNewTask: the name says it. I use it because I can close Quickpic and MXPlayer from the task switcher after opening a picture or video from a file browser.
-App Settings: change basic settings per app, like: change permissions, make it stay in memory, change the language of the app, change dpi, etc.
-Alternate App Picker: ICS and below-like default app choser.
-Burnt Toast: show app icon in toast notification.
-GravityBox: it provides a lot of customizations, very useful
-KitKat Toast Backport: KitKat-like toast notifications
-XBatteryThemer: Change the look of the battery icon on the statusbar
-Xperia MultiMiniapps: launch multiple miniapps on stock 4.1 (stock 4.3 has this feature by default)
-Xposed Preference Injector: Inject Xposed module preferences into Settings app

Not really, xposed modules modyfying files only
s is what i am using
Hey guys, these are the xposed modules i am using with reasons -
1) Xperia Xposed- it gives me many customization options, my settings are -
1. Navigation bar height - 42dp which belive me is perfect for this phone, 36dp is too small
2. Media settings which give me the option to switch tracks with volume button and turn it off with camera button
3. Power menu outings which give me more power menu options and i am using forced light theme which makes the power menu look colourful and beautiful
2) gem Xperia xposed- guys this is the most important module for any Xperia user as it give you the option to apply gradient per status and navigation bars, i personally don't like Corris home launcher and therefore i use translucent gradient to make my bars translucent
3) boot manager - i think it's purpose is very clear to all
4)YouTube adaway - this is a great module which makes it possible to remove the annoying YouTube ads at the starting of videos
5) [xad] - this is another great module that helps you to stop the annoying ads that are out up in many free apps to annoy us. -_-
6) Xperia dialer mods - this module helps us to record calls
7) android phone vibrator- it held to know if an outgoing call had been picked up by the reciever by giving a small vibration and many other useful features too

Will the minimum brightness app have a min brightness setting? I have an IPS screen on my lg g4. Will this lower my actual brightness? I use my phone at night and the minimum brightness is too bright. I've tried screen filters but I would prefer an app that actually lowers the brightness past stock.

Since there's actual UI, I will probably eventually add such option... But please be aware that it's still the same feature that GravityBox already offers (so if GB doesn't break anything for you, you can use it already).
Minimum brightness is not working in my device. What system apps and/or framework files from my ROM would you need me to send to you to fix it? It's a stock ROM, Android 5.1.1, my phone is a BQ Aquaris M5.
Thanks!
thank you for this nice module (and your old ones it replaced for me)
would you please be so kind as to include changelogs in the play store? I kinda hate getting updates but having no idea what it changed until i dig in the app for something that looks new
Thanks for this great module I was using some seperate modules from you but one big module is always nice. I can confirm Always Software Menu works on my S5 running CM13. Battery history xxl was working on CM12.1 and I even think it worked on CM13 Unofficial alpha version but on newer CM13 versions it doesn't works anymore. Is it possible to port it over to CM13 one day? And in the past the separate module disable toast icons didn't do anything on my S5 running CM13 for example when I'm in Root Explorer and enable R/W the root message appeared with the SuperSu icon but since 2 days I use the separate module from you NoToastIcons.v0.1-disable-all and that works great no toast icons anymore. I didn't try No toast icons from the All my... module.
Thanks for your great works.

The "No Toast Icons" tweak in this module disables icons in all toasts so it should work for you as well.
Few trivial tweaks already work with CM13 but the rest requires me actually flashing CM13 ROM - which I will do in the upcoming days or weeks on my S5.

It may not work on all devices (because of differences in display drivers/settings etc) plus it probably doesn't lower the minimum brightness when adaptive (automatic) brightness is used (though i didn't investigate that much...).
Great job with the one hand firefox enabler. I can now finally stick exclusively to firefox. Thanks!

I keep adaptive brightness disabled most of the time. If there's anything I can do to help making it work in more devices, you tell me.
Latest version 0.1.3 adds "Chrome Tabs Toolbar On Phone". Normally you could lower your DPI (system wide or per app if that's an option) to get the tabs toolbar in Chrome (that could however make the UI too tiny). The better option is to use "Screen (dp)" option in App Settings which get's the job done just right. This tweak reuses the same hacks to get the tablet layout with tabs in Chrome while it adds one important change - it changes the User Agent back from "tablet" to "phone" so you still get the mobile/phone version of various sites instead of the full featured tablet/desktop ones.

You got also S5. [emoji3] CM13 official nightlies are out but you probably already know that. [emoji6]

Version 0.2 should make all the tweaks compatible with CM13/Android 6.0. If there's any issue, let me know (I didn't check against clean AOSP).
Native Freezer - because there's no longer dedicated disable button on MM, I use the Force Stop button.
Battery History XXL - it works and as usual it not only makes the list longer but also unhides some normally hidden records (when they do not pass some threshold).
I also added one more tweak for Adobe Reader - "Disable Horizontal Scroll". Adobe Reader doesn't provide any feature for cropping white space so this helps me tremendously (after I double tap to the main content). (I'm still sticking to Adobe cause it's still the fastest though I probably could use the cropping in Xodo.)
Hey. I sit on the CM 13. I want to ask you to do, led to work if the battery charge is low, but when connected to a power source - did not work (not displayed, it is charged or charge).
Here comes another tweak in version 0.2.1: "Remap PREV button to PLAY/PAUSE" (PREV = long volume down press) which allows to use volume keys to change volume, advance to next song and play/pause. The "Playback control" needs to be enabled in system Settings (CM).
I have few more volume buttons related hacks in mind... :fingers-crossed:

Well, the current tweak handles the LED based on priority so I'm not sure about your question (really it can't be set in settings?).
Hey there
Im running cm12 since 6 months and i really appreciate you work
Specially native freezer
Im wondering did you made or plan to make a mod to replace recent menu action in navigation bar ?
By default short press bring recent and long press for last app
I hope i you can reverse it to be short press for previous app and long press for recent menu
Update
I forget to thank you again [emoji5]

@moneytoo
With Native Freezer for 3rd party app Enabled, the Kill Button is disappeared. Is it possible bring it back?
wow..almost all good mod in one module.
one feature request. is it possible to get chrome Desktop Agent on mobile? I like desktop agent instead mobile.

Do I need to reboot after I enable the tweaks?
Nvm, reboot is required for changes to take effect.

reduced line spacing in Settings menu (Cyanogenmod 13)

Hi. I just installed Cyanogenmod 13 (Marshmallow 6.0.1) to my LG G2 (D802, International edition from Finland). Here is some issues that I have with it.
- there is far too much scrolling involved in navigating trough the settings menu. The line spacing between options is much larger than it was in stock Kitkat 4.4.2. Is it possible to somehow reduce the line spacing and in this way get more options to fit to the screen and reduce the need to scroll up and down...? Changing font size does not affect line spacing. Changing LCD Density under Display settings does, but it makes everything smaller and I only want to reduce the line spacing.
- is it somehow possible to get clock, status bar, pattern lock and camera button all to the same screen? Pattern screen has nothing else than the pattern in it.
- when in silent mode and all animations off, the camera app (snap camera) does not do any kind of shutter animation (even white screen for a blink of second). Is it somehow possible to enable a white screen shutter animation? In current situation I am not always sure after pressing a button if the phone did or did not take a picture.
- currently the gallery shortcut in Snap camera opens AOSP Gallery. IMHO in AOSP Gallery it is too difficult to delete pictures/clips. Is it possible to change the shortcut to point to Google Photos Gallery...?
- do you happen to know if it is still somehow possible to get Chrome tabs to recent apps. I liked that feature but Google has removed it recently. I wonder if there is way to use it even in newer Chrome versions...?
- any recommendations for using Facebook messages on the phone? I hate Facebook messenger app.
- any tweaks for maximizing deep sleep and battery life are welcome (I already disabled location history)

Several requests

I'm running Nougat crDroid with Magisk & TWRP for reference.
Are there things that let me:
Automize Notifications(i.e. dismiss 'Google Play has installed x' notifications after 5 seconds)
Let me swipe away any notification there is
Enable a very slight palm rejection at the edge of the phone(disable every 3rd pixel on the edge from input, for e.g.)
Have systemwide Vibration control(a list of all vibration strengths/patterns for each thing)
Have a Notification Center(similar to iOS, a place to 'store' all your notifications, but an app for e.g.)
Customize the Network & WiFi Statusbar/Shade icons(I don't like how turning off celullar data makes an 'X' appear, for e.g.)
Customize my Statusbar
Have a full screen notification shade(the notification shade isn't fullscreen in landscape)
Have a statusbar at the bottom
Control how the power button locks the phone(I'd prefer to have it lock 2 minutes after turning it off, rather than instantly, but still go to the lock screen.)
Control animations systemwide(turn off/change speed of particular animations)
Have my battery bar below the statusbar
Always have a black Status Bar
Have better control over auto-rotate
Remove the scroll bounce/reflection
Customize the Lock Screen
Customize the Notification Shade
Make the Notification Shade(and notifications in general) more compact
Have better control over when quick settings and the whole notification shade appear when swiping down
Customize CPU clocks and enabled cores using profiles(like SetCPU)
And if there are any other things I can use to customize, or any app lists please tell me(preferably not Xposed).
i haven't read all of your needs nut im pretty much sure that you can find good hope in Tasker

Find X2 Pro - [WISHLIST]

SOFTWARE
Theming Options:
- Changing Status Bar Icons
(One of the issues that users from other brands face are the different designs on the status bar icons, having an option to select between Oppo and Google icons would allow the users to theme and easily recognize some of those icons).
- Add options for Status Bar Clock
(Likewise to make it easier to users preference, to be allowed to change the status bar clock between Left, Center, Right, Off, with a extra checkbox to hide it on Homepage from Oppo Launcher. This can be seen in any Xiaomi device that automatically hides the clock when going to the homescreen).
- Add Battery % next to the Icon on Status Bar
(Add an option to allow the user to choose to have the % of battery next to icon).
- Change Theme accent
(Allow users to have personalized experiences and allow them to change the theme's accent. That change would affect every toggle colour, active icons on notification bar. This can be seem in every OnePlus device).
- Change Folders Background
(Allow the users to change the folders background).
- Possibility to change lockscreen style
- Since the Theme Store is not acessible on Europe. An app like Samsung Good Lock would be the best way to people to personalize the lockscreen in terms of Clock Style, Shortcut Icons, Fingerprint Icons.
Oppo Launcher:
- Double tap to lock the device
(This change would make the stock launcher experience much easier without having to use physical key to lock the device).
- Google Feed option to replace Smart Assistant
(The way Google Feed is implemented on Launchers would make the stock launcher experience much better to use and would contribute to people to don't change launcher just to have this change).
- Set Home Screen to a random page
(Allow the user to set a random page as a HomeScreen)
- Custom Icons
(Probably one of the most important features on customizing your phone. Allow the launcher to use different icon packs).
- App Drawer
(Ability to sort by other than date order eg alphabetic - ascending and descending options etc. Possibility to have folders inside it).
- Notification Badges
(Notification counter badges on all Apps Installed that have Notifications).
General Changes:
- A Better Always on Display
(Having a Tap to show on AOD instead of using the Proximity Sensor).
(Always On Display to be always ON like it should be, at least give a option to be always active/smart/off)
(To show every app icons that have notifications active)
(Bigger Notification Icons)
- ROM Updates Links
(Having a place with links where people can download the latest OTA files. This would make the update process much easier for everyone).
- Optimized Charging Features
(Following several studies saying that higher Watts hurt the battery and not every user needs 65W all the times having an option on developer settings or anywhere else where we can select lower Watts to charge the phone to maximize the battery life).
Also some Settings to stop the charge when reaching 80% (a few studies show that you should keep your battery levels between 20 and 80%)
- No Animations to Fingerprint Scanner
(Having no Animation as an option will make the phone to be faster to unlock the device and since the finger physically hides every animation it's a major improvement since when unlocking speed is the key function. This can be seen in any OnePlus device).
- Missed ROM String Translations
(In every ROM update, the Portuguese (Portugal) language at least has some flaws. In this matter i can easily and gladly help translating options properly).
- Camera and Microphone access indicators
(Much like the implementation in iOS 14, Access Dots should show colored dots whenever the camera or the mic is in use. Although the dots usually show up at the top right corner of the display, you should be also to choose the location for the dots from within the Settings. You should also be able to choose from different colors for the camera and the microphone and change the size of the dot from the Settings).
- Lockdown Mode
(Introduced on Android 9 Lockdown mode aims to protect those who want to keep their private data from the prying eyes of thieves and others. How lockdown works is by blocking fingerprint sensors, facial-recognition, and voice recognition. Once lockdown activates, the only way to enter your device is via PIN code, password, or pattern. Considering fingerprint sensors, facial recognition, and voice recognition are more easily bypassed than PIN, password, or pattern, this could be considered a must-use for those who consider security a top priority).
- Virtual LED Notification
(Since most OEMs removed the LED it would be good to have a more permanent alternative to Horizon Lights implemented by Oppo. This feature only happens for a couple of seconds which is not the best idea for the users. Having a small dot appearing randomly on the screen would be a viable option besides the Horizon Light. This LED Option should be able to customize the dot colour per app, move the dot to avoid screen burns and must be permanent until the user dismisses the notification).
- Ultra Vision Engine
(Show which apps it works with and allow more apps like Plex. Emby, Kodi.
eg: little watermark notification saying ultra vision engine at the beginning).
Camera & Gallery Changes:
- Improve bokeh effect for portrait shots.
- Improve anti ghosting / merging of HDR shots.
- Add Focus Tracking and/or Eye tracking.
- Improve the Front Camera quality in HDR and details.
- Allow Auxiliary Lens on GCam
(This change would allow the development of GCam Mods for all the Oppo devices and consequent the boost of sales since these Mods improve a lot the Camera Performance.
Whitelist the package name "org.codeaurora.snapcam" on Camera2API to allow the access to Ultrawide and Telephoto without Root.
This change can be seen in all the Xiaomi, Samsung, OnePlus 8 Pro and other brands).
- 48MP Mode on GCam
(Allowing 3rd Party Apps, in this case GCam to allow 48MP Modes. This would mean a lot to every user that can consider this device. This change would allow a better development of GCam Mods for all the Oppo devices and consequent the boost of sales since these Mods enhance the Camera Performance.
This change could benefit Ultrawide and Main Sensor. Front Camera is capped also to 8MP instead of 32MP.
With a simple camxoverridesettings.txt it will be activated maxRAWSizes=1 <— activate array 1 ( 8000 6000 )
This change can be seen on the latest OnePlus 8 Pro and all the ASUS and ROG devices).
- Allow 3rd party Galleries with Stock Cam
(When freezing or uninstalling the Stock Oppo Gallery you can't preview the photos taken with other Galleries).
- Video on Ultrawide
(Ultrawide IMX586 can easily make 4K60 and its currently only doing 4K30).
- Video on Front Camera
(Front Camera is more than capable to use higher resolutions than [email protected] For example P40 Pro with the same sensor can do 4K60).
- Camera quality on Snapchat, Instagram & WhatsApp
(Microphone volume on Snapchat, Instagram (WhatsApp is fine)
For Some reason, on Snapchat specifically, the microphone quality/volume is pitiful, friends struggle to hear when in a empty room with no other sources of volume such as a TV. Tested this on most social apps & it happens the absolute worst with Snapchat, it may be something on Snapchats end rather than Oppo's but it doesn't happen with any other device.)
- Allow more Zoom on Stock Gallery
(On the photo gallery allow further zoom levels, so you can zoom close up in pictures. at the moment you can only zoom like 2-3 level on the Samsung devices you can zoom right in.)
- Zoom Preview after 10x on Stock Camera
(Like Samsung and Huawei on their Camera Apps are doing a little preview when the zoom levels are higher than 10x would make the user to know precisely where he is zooming).
- Photo Album - Hide unwanted photo folders eg WhatsApps images
(Ability to sort in ascending order or descending order
Ability to remember last selection for start up eg Albums -> Camera instead defaults back to Photo category)
Currently Bugs: (from July Security Patch Update)
- Lock screen notification stays lit when charging
(When receiving a new notification arrives whilst plugged into a charger, the lock screen wakes up (as set to do previouslly), but doesn't then fade out. Instead it keeps the Phone Screen on until the notification is cleared or the charger is unplugged).
HARDWARE
- Flare Issues (There's an issue with Flare with the Find X2 Pro in some/maybe all units. When a source of light hits the lens sideways in a certain angle it provokes a horrible and unusual flare due probably to the bad quality of the lens coating. This issue is only on the IMX689 sensor and one should be aknowledge by Oppo and fixed).
If you guys don't mind i'll add some of the ideas you guys may throw in this thread to make it easier if anyone from Oppo checks it.​
As OP, plus:
Stock Launcher:
- double tap to lock
- Google feed
- set home screen
- custom icons
AOD:
- tap to show

Additionally, I'd love if they gave us some optimizations for social media apps:
Camera quality on Snapchat, Instagram & WhatsApp
Microphone volume on Snapchat, Instagram (WhatsApp is fine)
For whatever reason, on Snapchat specifically, the microphone quality/volume is pitiful, friends struggle to hear me when I'm sat in a empty room with no other sources of volume such as a TV.
I've tested this on most social apps & it happens the absolute worst with Snapchat, it may be something on Snapchats end rather than Oppo's but it doesn't happen with any other device I've used.
If you guys don't mind i'll add some of the ideas you guys may throw in this thread to make it easier if anyone from Oppo checks it.

Last ones from me that I forgot to add
Lockdown Mode that was introduced back in Android 9 Pie should be on this device it's not even up for debate I have no idea how it's missing.
I'd also love a to see Oppo incorporate notification dots similar to the ones found in iOS 14, it shows a green dot in the notification bar when the camera is accessed & a orange dot when the microphone is accessed.
*This is already available through a third party app but incorporating it in to the OS would be nice, link below*

Lock screen notification stays lit when charging
On my phone, if a new notification arrives whilst plugged into a charger, the lock screen wakes up (as I've set to do), but doesn't then fade out. Instead it keeps the phone screen on until the notification is cleared or the charger is unplugged.
This is what I sent to oppo.
1) Always on display switches off after around 10min or so.* - so does not work as "Always on"
2) Could we implement something like "Samsung Smart Stay" where the screen detects your face and keeps the screen on? currently the screen goes to sleep after 10-20 seconds. really annoying when reading something and you have to constantly tap the screen.*
3) On the photo gallery allow further zoom levels, so you can zoom close up in pictures. at the moment you can only zoom like 2-3 level on the Samsung devices you can zoom right in.
4) Allow changing of the clock design on the Lock Screen
5) Notification counter badges on all icons/apps - eg Aquamail
6) Always on display to have notification counter on icons eg like Hauwei phones.
7) App Drawer - Ability to sort by other than date order eg alphabetic - ascending and descending options etc.
- ability to have folder in app drawer.
8) Photo Album - Hide unwanted photo folders eg WhatsApps images
** *** * - Ability to sort in ascending order or descending order
******** - Ability to remember last selection for start up eg Albums -> Camera instead defaults back to Photo category
9)* Ability to change Folder back ground colour. eg black
******************
10) Notification screen light to stay on mimicking the LED notification light on the Samsung in different colours.
11) Ultra Vision Engine - show which apps it works with and allow more apps like Plex. Emby, Kodi etc. eg little watermark notification saying ultra vision engine at the beginning?
***** Q) which apps does it support?
Thanks

It'd be nice if the ColorOS team could give us a native battery health monitor too, Google for whatever reason refuse to implement it to stock Android
& AccuBattery isn't as accurate as native, it's always good for users to be able to check battery health to see how much the original capacity is degrading, that way we know when we can expect to get a replacement battery

i'd appreciate at least the battery graphic.
Notification icon sizing should have its own setting instead of being under 'Display Size' which sizes also text windows together. Notification icons are quite small and increasing it then makes text windows (SMS, Whatsapp etc) too big.
- Add background running restrictions who actually work
- Include adb set permissions in Oppo permission monitoring instead of having one or the other
- Improve bokeh effect for portrait shots
- Improve anti ghosting / merging of HDR shots
- Integrate with Google (feed, live captions, recorder app, google photos, dialer app, messaging app)
- Collaborate with one of the gcam modders and make this the gcam phone of our dreams
- remove bloat installation of 3rd party apps like Facebook and Chrome
- Improve OTA rollout strategy
I wished the message symbols on AOD would be larger...
...and Focus tracking would be nice...

Agree! They are way to small.

- fix bug of split screen not working when using third party home launcher app like Nova.
- allow selection of third party music player as default music app, and allow gestures on screen off to interact with it
Hide battery icon.
Set min and max auto brightness (would help with green tint).
Ability to set colour of notifications and status bar.

Split screen enable 120hz instead of calling at 60.
Able to separate ringtones, notifications, in music player, and file manager.
Also hide recordings from music player??!!
- telephone/Dialer app like Samsung s20 Ultra with Unknown User/incomming calls indentification
- Call recoder at dialer app when calling
- better weather widget with more days
Widget limitations
I spent two days talking to OPPO customer service, but still no luck.
They either don't understand what I mean or just don't care but they keep saying it's a Gmail problem...
Which is not as I can add multiple widgets on OnePlus, Huawei and Samsung as well.
So I thought I would add it here, hopefully will be added to the next update.
My problem and probably others as well is with the widget limit on apps.
For some reason ColorOS only allows one widget per app. This is mainly frustrating for Gmail Widgets.
You see I have multiple accounts on my phone but I can only add one Gmail widget to my homescreen...
Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or is this a knows limitations for others.
Thank you!
