So I recently acquired an LG K51s, because my old Sony broke due to water penetration.
One annoying thing I really dislike about the phone (apart from the rubbish skin LG uses), is the simple fact when I go into horizontal mode the phone cuts off part of the top screen to make it look seamless (because it has a hole-punch camera cutout).
Now I really don't mind the camera, provided I can use the 6.55" 20x9 720p screen. So I'd like to know, if there a way I can permanently disable it? I know Nova launcher and YouTube can somehow bypass it and use the whole screen.
Thanks in advance!

So this is kinda useless. But I'll keep trying nonetheless!
I suspect the problem is with com.android.systemui. I have managed to extract the APK and will be looking around to see if I can somehow disable a custom setting in System UI Tuner. If that doesn't work I may have to edit it manually and see if I can overwrite it, somehow...

Settings app giving me the stupid black bar (horizontal)
Same issue in Chrone as in the Settings app (horizontal)
But any app that plays videos (in my case it's YouTube) has the option to remove the black bars (horizontal)
Why is no one giving me ANY useful input?
I can even upload the 90mb systemui apk if, anyone has the knowledge and experience to go through it.
Mods, what the on earth is going on???

I'm running 2.1 Generic Rooted. I also use FolderOrganizer with the Widgets/Containers.
I've noticed running the Sony 2.1 Home Screen that the transpararent background of the FolderOrganizer containers looks A LOT better than it use to.
However I prefer to run LauncherPro. When I use LauncherPro though the gradients look like they use too on 1.6.
Has anyone noticed this?

No dice. I did notice though that when I flip through home screens the gradient is "Sony Home Screen Quality" for a second then when the page is finished "bouncing" the gradient turns back to the ugly LauncherPro style.
Quite odd. Now that I've noticed it, it bugs me.
EDIT: Ok with the high quality scrolling on it looks normal anytime I'm scrolling pages. So I have HQ but only when scrolling then it is low quality when you release the screen. What the hell.
Hello!
Is there ay possibilities to customize the stock caller screen (on Oxygen 2.2.2).
E.g.: changing the background from the greyish black to the current wallpaper?
Or replace it with the something like in MIUI?
Thanks!
Yes, install a custom rom

Well, guess what, I have a custom ROM.
You should've read my post before replying.
I mean from this:

to this:
I know i checked out a program called Full Screen Caller ID, and that changed the calling screen. It (like the name says) made the contact picture full screen. Unfortunatly it acted weird, so i removed it.
But if that exists, something you want must exist to on the app market?
I tried that well, but I don't want to have full screen IDs.
Probably Themers will know what to change and where - probably something in one of the .xmls
any update on this?
did you ever find a way to customize call screen. I am looking specifically for a way to input other than just keypad while in a call. Even just paste would be good enough, but input from contacts would be great. I have tried HD callscreen, which can certainly modify the call screen, but it does not have any input options.
Hello all how can i change the optins that my current lock screen has?
It has a microphone, a lock and the camera. How can i change the microphone with the Phone to get staight to contacts from lockscreen? I used to have another device which at lock screen had Phone, Camera and The Lock icon.
Is there a way to change it or should i get an app that has more features?
Unfortunatley Not
The Default lock screen is very limited in customisation unfortunately. You can't even set a custom wallpaper you are limited to the ones included with the phone. So simply no is the answer to your question.
As for using a different lock screen application, this would most likely disable fingerprint support and increase battery consumption.
All we can do is hope for more features with the next update.

I was able to set a lock screen wallpaper to be honest with you all i want to know if you can replace the microphone thing which is in the left corner that says swipe to voice command with for example a shortcut to contacts or something which was supported in previous android phone that i owned.

Yes you can change it, but not with the stock rom. You have to install the xposed framework and Gravity Box. Then you can change it in the Gravity Box settings

Hello!
I am using SlimSaber - SlimLP which is a 5.1.1 ROM and I'm facing a single issue with it, I'm posting it here since the ROM's thread seems pretty dead, but it's still a great ROM.
I want to remove the 3-dot menu also called overflow buttons because I don't use the navigation bar. As you may know, we have physical buttons in our Galaxy S2s and those are more than enough for me.
Look at how much space it takes, it cuts almost everyone's names on my device when using the stock DPI (lcd density)

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The ROM looks like it has a built-in function to disable them but it doesn't work.
I have also tried adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to the build.prop file but it didn't work.
You could say "well just make the LCD density lower by changing the DPI to 200 or something" Yeah but if you do that, games will lag because it thinks you have another screen size, I had that issue and it got solved by going back to the original DPI size. (in addition to all the problems changing DPI could entail).
And also, yeah, it's possible with nowadays' apps to remove them because if you install Samsung's official JB 4.1.2, you can use the actual whatsapp and everything without these 3 dots. Even with CM11 KitKat you can still use your device without those. What does lollipop need in order to get rid of them...
Any other ideas on how to remove that unnecessary button? Thanks in advance.
I'm new to the LG G8X and I'm struggling to fully commit to it by moving my SIM over from my Note9. This LG phone has great features but it is lacking in the software department. I believe alot of you may agree.
With that being said, I have two questions:
1. What is the best way to get suggestions to LG about software recommendations and suggestions?
2. Why is dual keyboard in portrate mode not a thing? I would love a scenerio where I'm using the left screen (in portrate mode) then I need to type something, so the keyboard pops up on the opposite screen (or I'm given the option to move it) and I can type on handed with no intrusive keyboard appearing on the left screen.
I must say, I am not a fan of the way landscape dual keyboard mode works. When typing in browsers, large bars appear at the bottom and top the screen that is being typed on. That makes it impossible for me to see a complete picture of the info on the webpage.
Any tips, info, or suggestions would be appreciated.
There is an app called "G8X Wide Mode" in the play store that lets you force dual screens in any app.
You can use it to space out the keyboard in portrait, but it only works well with the LG keyboard, the Gboard for example has some of the middle keys split across both screens.
But as far as using it the way you are describing, there is no functionality that lets you use the keyboard on one screen and the content on the other while in portrait.

Thank you for responding. I am familiar with G8X wide mode. Using that app is the closest I have gotten to producing my idea using the Gboard floating keyboard.
