Google Chrome Full Screen Status Bar Issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I am new to this XDA forums so I might not know how to fully customise my thread.
I am having a problem with the Google Chrome browser lately on my device. Whenever I enter full screen mode to watch a video on a website like Youtube, my status bar is still showing. If I uninstall updates and use older version of chrome, then the full screen works fine. I don't know to fix this issue. I am currently using a Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon) running on Nitrogen OS 8.1 build date: 20180215 with unofficial open gapps 8.1 aroma 20180119. The screenshots below show what I mean.
Please Help!!
Thanks
PLEASE DELETE THREAD. I HAVE ALREADY FOUND A SOLUTION. THANKS

I had recently changed ROM to AOSiP. In the notifications drawer there is an 'expanded desktop' toggle which I pressed to go in full screen. It is a bit annoying to have to do it manually but that is what I am doing.

Are you still doing that as a workaround to this issue? Or have you found a permanent solution? I have the same problem.

Latest Chrome and Chrome Beta, Oreo RR, Status Bar visible in Fullscreen. Not an issue in Firefox or Samsung Browser.
Is this intended behavior?

While this may work with the Pixel 2 XL it certainly doesn't with the Axon 7 - mentioned settings are simply not available.

Axon doesn't have those display options? Does it have the unlockable Developer Options? (Tap Build 7 times or whatever)
If yes, look for the 'Smallest Width' option. Play around with some numbers. On my 1080p device it was the 'Small' setting in Display Size that broke Chrome, but it was the one i always used. Closest Smallest Width setting to that where Chrome Fullscreen still works is 403.

Ever since my last comment I got an update and now I have that setting. The notification goes away on "default" indeed, but I have to agree with it being way too big - which is why I have it on smallest on 2560x1440. I might try the smallest width option but I shouldn't have to do that... to me it seems like something is off with either android, chrome or both.

It's Chrome. I tested Firefox and Samsung Browser and they were fine. You've just got to find a number that works.

Can confirm that changing the Smallest width under Developer settings to 403 worked for me (Redmi Note 3 Pro, Android 9.0, Havoc OS). I'm glad I've finally found a solution here, I've been having this issue for so long now I can't even remember when this started happening (probably around the time OP posted here).

Thought I'd update you guys... the biggest number that worked for me was 420 (from the 423 before which is the standard setting). So not too much of a loss.

Minimum width
Once I have changed that setting to 403 width, full screen returned to normal full mode. Thanks for the help (note 9)

[Q] google chrome - force tabs?

does anyone know how to force chrome browser into displaying with tabs on the hd6 rather than the small screen mobile display?
I'm aware dolphin & other browsers have the tab navigation but I'm loathed to lose the bookmark sync with my other devices.

You can use Xposed / AppSettings . Then set dpi to a huge number, or the screen size to a huge number. One of these should work. I had tabs, and wanted to switch, so that's what I did:

thanks, I tried changing both dpi & screen resolution and the res change showed a single tab as the page loaded - then blanked out as the page load completed.
can you suggest a specific setting? it does indeed feel like the right app for the job. i'd never heard of it before so cheers for the heads-up.

good idea, I'm on the latest version updated thru play store. guess it's be worth trying the beta, dev or canary versions. thanks again.
I got this to work using dpi of 213. You can also use 160 but I found the tabs too small and fiddly with that setting.

UI questions

Hi, I'm bought this phone recently and my previous one was a galaxy S5.
So when I moved to poco f1 a lot of features were missing so I have several problems:
1. I noticed that I can't see notifications (like whatsapp) in the notifications bar AND in the lock screen.
2. I can't open new folder in the launcher (only in the home screen).
3. notch disable.
Can I fix these problems somehow? (New rom?something else?)
please help me! I'm getting frustrated with this phone and I just bought it...
Thank you!

Yes for 1 and 3
Dont know for 2 but you get a laucher that alows that if the default one doesnt (I am on Pixel Experience so I can not check it)
Yeah Lineage OS fixes all the issues. You get notifications on the lockscreen and you get the icon for the first notification, after a 2nd notification comes in, it will change to a dot to show that you have multiple notifications. You can disable the notch by going to developer options and look for 'Simulate a display with a cutout' and select 'Hide'. I dont use the launcher that comes with it, I always install Nova Launcher, I've been using that launcher on all my phones for years. The free version is still very good, no need to buy the premium version. The included launcher with Lineage can probably handle folders normally, ive just never used it long enough to know if it does.

MIUI 11 9.9.24 Beta Install Feedback

Yesterday I installed MIUI 11 9.9.24 Beta ROM on my India K20 Pro phone. Below are my observations and feedback.
I was on MIUI 10 10.3.5 India ROM.
Installed Beta MIUI 11 by wiping Data, System, Cache. It is smooth overall and I find display better(it may be due to new font, don't know)
Observations:
1. Fonts are really good.
2. System Launcher is bit off. Swiping up opens up their own Media Center thing. (May be due to one of the launcher layout I selected while initial setup). Installed Poco Launcher, but it blacks out sometimes when going Home from an app. However it fixes once you perform recent app gesture and then back.
3. Downloaded 0.5 MB Google related chinese file from GetApps which install Google Services. Installed, but later while installing other Google stuff from inside that downloaded app, Google Framework failed to install.
4. Downloaded Google Play Store from GetApps. The installed all the apps.
5. Main issue was with Google Contact sync which was fixed by first installing Contact Sync 10 and then contacts. Opened app properties and given all the permissions. Restarted, it started working. May not work initially, but started working somehow.
6. Speaker sound is now better. It was very loud and uncomfortable earlier, but now it is much better.
7. Lockscreen notifications can now be expanded to read the content(which was not possible earlier)
8. System Wide Dark mode doesn't work all the times for non System apps.
9. Ambient Display has so many new options.
10. Samsung Routine like Tasks where you can schedule different system settings. Like lower down brightness to 0% between a time frame, etc.
11. Double tap to sleep doesn't work. Although double tap to wake works.
Overall it can be used as daily driver and I am loving it...
Great Explanation. Seems like a good build for a beta.
Can you do 1 thing for me?
I always wondered what are the new options for NEW Notifications when screen locked. Does it lit only the notification content like in pure andoird, or some other useless animations?
Can you post some screenshots of those options and feedback?
Thanks!
You can disable there media search when swiping up in the settings , I had the same issues as you with not all the Google frame work service not installing mainly contact sync , but overall miui 11 not to bad.
Hello, I'm on xiaomi.eu 10.4.6 and when i try to install the 9.9.24 miui 11 get an error zip treble could not fetch or install. I've whipped everything and tried 3 times but with the same result. I have rafael. Any advice?

Unzip the file, delete Compatibility zip(not sure whether I am spelling the name correct), then rezip and flash.

Actually I am using Ambient display, there it just put a small icon below clock with notification sound. Once I click on the icon, it go back to lock screen where I can expand that notification to read the content. You can also have different fancy screen glow animations when notification comes with Ambient Display
Will update you about your query in a while
Did u manage to get the ambient display notification working (the fancy glowing animation)? Coz i didn't even after enabling it.
Another thing issue is with app like WhatsApp being killed in background even after setting it as no restriction on battery saving and autostart app. U end up not getting any notification at all unless u open the app itself.

While on Ambient Display, icon appears below the clock with notification sound.(not sure if you are expecting more than this).
Whatsapp notifications are ok for me...Battery Saver set to MIUI Battery Saver...May be I am not using much apps or the apps which are consuming more battery in the background. That way Battery Saver doesn't come into picture I guess.
Seems like Working great.But ther was a problem with Gcam and Other applications like viper4andriod were not working properly in 10.4.8 which is based on Q . Can you do me a favour can u check whether those apps are working properly and give me a reply
The icon appear as usual for the ambient display. MIUI 11 suppose to add animation feature for ambient display upon new incoming notifications to rectify the issue of K20 Pro design having hidden led notification on the top of the phone. This is the one that im referring to as not working
Ive attached pic of the animation which i meant
thanks man for review and testing....one question, how about 75hz screen refresh rate mod? thanks bro
can I use it as a daily driver?

A "few" questions to the s10 Lite owners.

Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.
https://youtu.be/VGiItteDcfw
Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)
https://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=429&t=3888296&hilit=Vanced
You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.

Received EMUI 11 beta on the international Mate 20 X

I tried to enroll my device in the beta project for EMUI 11. Has not got a feedback through the app, but a month later has received OTA EMUI 11.
No huge changes, bit for a reason the interface looke better (pretty much IOS 14ish. More fluid, better performance as well as few pits and pieces here and there.
So far:
Text optimised cropping. I think it was there already, but now works better.
Better multitasking with apps drawn in a window while ongoing background apps/ interface working simultaneously.
Better visuals, closer to IOS ones (don't know who follows who, got lost a while ago and I don't really care). Actually I like the EMUI idea being a middle ground between iOS and Android
On the other hand, I believe that WiFi is not right with some connectivity issues.
However it's still early days, let's see how it goes

Better multitasking with apps drawn in a window while ongoing background apps/ interface working simultaneously.
Better visuals, closer to IOS ones (don't know who follows who, got lost a while ago and I don't really care). Actually I like the EMUI idea being a middle ground between iOS and Android
On the other hand, I believe that WiFi is not right with some connectivity issues.
However it's still early days, let's see how it goes

How did you enroll ? Beta app doesn't shows any option. Did you enroll on Chinese beta web page ?

I applied to the international version. Hasn't got a reply. But 2 weeks later got the OTA update.
I'm still on EMUI 9.1 because EMUI 10 ruined the speaker sound quality. How is it on EMUI 11?
Oh and the multi screen dock: does it let you launch all the apps you have in split screen or in a floating window, or only some approved apps?

sound quality is veeery subjective, so cant comment on that. especially since i wasnt on 9.x for long, updated to 10 almost instantly.
as for the multi window option, it basically lets u add any app to a sort of quick select, from which u can then create a bunch of floating windows (resizeable)

Thanks for the reply.
Would you say the sound quality of the speaker is the same as with EMUI 10?
And for the floating windows: it let's you add any app that's installed on your phone? Even let's say the "Settings" app?

it seems to be a tad louder than before, but again, very subjective.
as for the floating windows: as far as i can see, it only covers user installed apps, no system apps.

Thanks mate. Sorry for all the questions but I want to be sure that I'm upgrading to something I'm going to be liking.
One last question, about the floating apps. Can you only launch a floating app from the apps you've put in the dock? Or can you also launch them from the whole list of apps you get when you press the "+" icon (or do you have to put them in the dock first)?

no worries, happy to help. the dock has a total of 15 slots and can be configured freely with any user installed apps. once added, u can then open the apps from the dock as floating windows.

And is there any other way to launch a floating window or go to split screen? Or can you only do it with apps that are in that dock?

the dock is not always showing, if that is your worry. there is a shortcut gesture, dragging from the side of the screen towards the center and then hold a bit, that brings up the dock.
if i remember correctly, there is a different gesture that can activate split-screen mode with currently running apps. dont remember what that was though (i only ever use one floating window at a time, usually for watching a video while surfing the net or texting)

welcome to the EVR-AL00 EMUI 11 family where are u located?
Italy
Did EMUI 11 introduce a tap-to-wake feature for the front screen? I read they might include a back panel tap feature, but that is of less interest to me.

edit:
Uploaded on MEGA: https://mega.nz/folder/lPA3XSYB#K3sWqh0o0PGeUflujIq3vQ
Included MMS.apk as well as two services related to MMS (not sure if needed to install properly)
Also added the Call Recorder app since I saw so many people asking for it
Let me know if this works! Extracted it from the system partition in the "app" and "priv-app" folders.

Oh one last question: can you resize the floating window? EMUI 10.1 didn't let you resize it but maybe they've changed it in EMUI 11.
