General Funtouch OS is frustrating. - iQOO 7 Legend

Funtouch OS is literally the most limited, boring and bloated skins over android 11 ever in IQOO 7 Legend.
You can't even change WiFi, Bluetooth connection in drop-down quick settings section without going into settings by long-pressing.
There's no lockscreen media control appearing on my IQOO 7 Legend either.
Oh yeah, there's that green tint issue too.
Sounds getting cutoff with 4D vibration on in Asphalt 9.
It's just a cheap experience all together. I bought IQOO specially with the hope of experiencing the exquisite looking Origin OS. But what I got is some cheap Indian trash.

Damn, should have gone Mi 11X Pro

True. IQOO 3 had much better implementation. Also, no way to disable always on Charging display either!

Any way to disable always on display during charging? I hate using my OLED display unnecessarily during charging while there was only a simple setting on IQOO 3 to enable or disable it.
Seems like no one is discussing IQOO 7 Legend 5G anymore as this forum seems dead for months now. What's going on folks?

How can we make the app drawer and folder background dark/black in funtouch os 12?

You cannot. I tried everything. Dark mode just makes the menus and settings dark, nothing else. We will have to wait for the next update. I am getting more frequent crashes and reboots too.

Oh ok.. Thank you.. This looks so weird though. I have not used this kind of background in years...
I am not having any crashes/reboots as of now. It's been just one day though.

Tablet mode

So I decided to try tablet mode just out of curiousity. I read that it makes non-sense launchers smoother. Well it does. For sure. Maybe not much but its enough to make go launcher Buttery smooth. So another thing I noticed is battery life? It increased? It could just be me but I find it odd that it was such a notocable difference. I'm sitting at 73% after a full days work in a building that barely gets reception. Usually by this point I have 50% left. So this left me wondering, could systemui have been poorly coded by HTC to the point where it drains a lot of battery? I know it seems ridiculous but I implore some one to try it before they say I'm crazy. Only because I may well be. Haha. So my question is, is there a way to get tablet mode to run on ics without forcing 192 dpi. Honestly the whole phone seems more usable and the quick settings I need are already in the stock ics notification bar. And whatever was missing I have in there using power controls a free app on the market. There must be some kind of edit to force tablet without going to 192 dpi.

That's what I'm talking about! Tablet mode has been my daily for the longest time and I agree that it definitly helps out with battery life and with smoothness of launchers (especially Apex!). Sadly there is no way just yet of getting the phone to run Tablet mode without forcing the DPI to 192. I know that the Galaxy nexus has their ways of doing it, I tried getting it to go myself and no luck so far. One thing I want to get working is the Pop-up screen when you connect to the PC.
How did you get that nice looking quick settings on the Notification Bar? I never tried to change it from the regular pop up selections
I've had nothing but problems trying to change my dpi. Anytime I go below 270 I have nothing but force closes. How did you get it working

Usually it depends on the App that you use to change the dpi, plus you need a launcher other than sense installed (you can have sense and something else like Go, ADW, or Apex.) I use the App call LCD Density Modder (Icon is a Monitor with a blue screen). Also It depends on the Rom that you are using as well. Some Rom's do not have the Icons in the SystemUI.APK to support Tablet Mode (Especially Sense 4 ROMS). As long as you meet all those steps you should be able to get it working with minimal problems. As stated above the only problem I run into is getting a force close when connecting phone to PC, the Pop-up that lets you select your connection mode doesnt work, you have to set your default connection type to whatever your going to use before connecting, and set it so it doesnt ask you what you want when connecting.

I love having the on screen navigation in tablet mode, but that tiny text.. MY EYES. I wish we could dig around and get the on screen navigation ICS has by default on a Gnex. I know we lose screen real estate that way, but capacitive buttons suck.

You cannot do this on any sense 4 based Rom. You need an ics sense 3.6 to be able to do it. Plus you MUST have a different launcher other than sense.

Hey man sorry for the delay, So the notifications quick keys is an app called "power controls" it is free and it's honestly pretty great. if you check the settings of the app there is an option to have the power controls stay in your notification bar. go into the app from your launcher and put a check mark in the box for notification widget. then click the pin. then click the slider looking button and you can check off which buttons to add. Closest I've come to CM7 settings in drop down.
it uses the built in accessibility features of ics to do it. this and SlimRom or any variant is the closest I have been able to get to AOSP. throw that in with tablet mode and GO-SMS stripped of all their special features except themeing and you're pretty much there. I may try GoContacts as well but the last time I did (with my evo shift) it was laggy so I haven't bothered yet. Especially since this device as a whole is waaaay more laggy then my shift in every regard. I can't imagine it would play well.
Also for standard DPI the GoKeyboard is quite nice and responsive, much more so than AOSP. These are of course my personal feelings so it may just be perceived and not reality. I used to hate GODev stuff... but since getting this phone it's the only way to get what I want out of the UI. Even their launcher is shockingly smooth with 5 screens and APW scrolling widgets on 4.
I've been dealing with the small fonts. it's irritating but what can you do. Every view even down to the Gmail app is more useful to me in tab mode.

Thats amazing, i'm going to have to check out that app for myseslf. Thanks for the heads up though on that! Small fonts are easy to evercome, but only if the
Rom you are running Tablet Mode on has the Font Size in the Display settings. What does your app Drawer look like with Go Launcher? Is it regular size or does it put like 30 apps on 1 screen?

you have to set the launcher to have larger icons. Not "large" mind you. A custom larger amount. depends on your preference.... then change the icon spacing to a larger amount. I think I did 7 columns and 8 rows. For the record I couldn't find go sms in the app store so I downloaded it online somewhere just google gosms.apk it's a free app so this is not stealing. honestly I can't wait for AOSP. I would probably take it in it's unfinished form even (just 1x and wifi.)

Moto Z Droid displaying 5 icons per row? Is this possible?

Moving from a Nexus 6 to the Moto Z Droid which is running Nougat. The display shows only 4 icons/row which seems a waste of real estate versus the 5 that Nexus 6 has. I also checked out a Nexus 5X which has a similar resolution and that has 5 icons also.
Is there a way to get 5 icons/row with the GN launcher and/or without root? I did play around with DPI and font size but that didn't allow me add more icons/row.
Thanks
You'll need to use a different launcher. GN doesn't support what you're looking for.
I use Nova. Does everything! :good:
That is disappointing. I even tried the Pixel launcher and no joy. I like the GN launcher and I guess I will just have to put up with the icon limitation

You can do it with custom roms. I'm not sure if it's possible with stock but can give it a try.
Go-to settings > display > display size > small

What do you like so much about GN? In my opinion it is pretty limited in customisation.
Have you tried Nova Launcher? I bet Nova can do all that GN does and much much more... and it's light on resources as well
Yea same issue, you need to use a custom rom to fix this

I think I will just wait for an upgrade to the Z. I am on 7.0 and with Android O now in beta with some pretty cool features I hope Motorola/Verizon release an upgrade one day or I guess I will be flashing a custom ROM.
You can set the screen incons resolution under developer options.
After enabling developer options go to "drawing" section and change the value of the "Smallest width". I have setted it to 470dp and I get 5 icons per row in the menu.
I hope this would help you.

Thanks but that didn't work. I can get five icons in the app drawer but only 4 in the main screens. Tons of space between the icons though.

Mate 10 - huge icons in stock launcher

Hi all, this is my first post on here (ever) so go easy!
After owning 3x Mate 9's (MHA-L09 & L29) over the course of the last year, I decided to treat myself and have just received my shiny new Mocha Brown Mate 10 (ALP-L29), imported to the UK from Singapore.
I've noticed one or two "teething" issues however, most niggling being the size of the icons/home screen grid and notifications on the pull down menu, they're all huge!
I have view mode and text size set to "small" in display settings though it doesn't help.
I think, could be wrong, that EMUI 5.0 on the Mate 9 had a "smallest" setting?
Anyway, I was able to shrink the icons, widgets etc to a much smaller size.
Can anyone help with this or am I going to have to hope (and pray) for a software update that addresses this?
It's such a big, beautiful display and is a shame filling it with giant icons....
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks.
When both view mode is set to small on mate 9 and Mate 10, yes the mate 9 icons are slightly smaller.

I thought so, must be a coming fix for this?
Just feels like the fantastic screen real estate is wasted.
There should really be a 6x6 grid option built in to stock Emui don't you think?
I know Nova can provide it, but really want to stay stock for now with phone being so new!

With the last nova update, no crash anymore dude
I tried to persist with the stock launcher but it got the best of me. It just lacks so many features.
I've used alot of launchers but obviously Nova is a good starting point ( it didn't crash for me) and also evie is another one. My every day launcher is action launcher and it is excellent on the mate 10. Launchers come down to personal preference but in my opinion there are plenty out there that are better than the stock one.
Also pixel 2 launcher apk on this great forums is very good and smooth

Same here. BLA-029 .119(C636). Latest version of Nova launcher. Can anyone confirm if they are NOT having this problem? Thanks all.
Same problem here. Seems like view mode doesn't affect the size of the icons on the home screen and the size of the notification toggles. I've had the phone for 2 hours and its been bugging me ever since. I hope someone can fix this. I really hate my icons looking so big.
For smaller icons in stock launcher you have to find an icon pack with smaller icons size. I did it in app Huawei Themes https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.deishelon.lab.thememanager You can install new theme from this app which is called "card", and then apply icons from this theme in the native Huawei's theme app. For me icons from card theme look nicely and are smaller than original ones. Give it a try.
Currently using Pixel Launcher and icons are smaller now but the notification toggles are still huge.
When choosing one of the launchers mentioned in this thread, can you still use the navigation dock?

UI size changes automatically

I have a problem .. some times when i switch on the screen everything changes to very small even the navigation bar icons .. its like the resolution changes and everything will be small .. ill.post a screenshot when it happens again .. a workaround i go to screen resolution and change from hd to fhd then back to hd and the wallpaper , icons, settings and text comes back to normal size.
Help is appreciated
Never happened to me. Are you using some kind of 3rd party launcher ?

it is launcher problem my friend, send your question to their support. maybe not fully compatible with oreo. if u don't have this problem in default emui launcher so nothing we can do for u
thank you guys
I use only default launcher and I have the same problem.
I tried factory reset and I installed all apps independently.
No backups, but without change. ?
I was afraid I'm the only one. ?
We have to wait for the update ?
Maybe you turned smart resolution ON?
Turn smart resolution off. It will be OK.
think you have one-hand-mode active

Well quite opposite in here.I used to have the resolution on HD+ for the power saving reason and the problem occurred once a day.
So i have turned that smart resolution ON and from that moment all is ok.
Thanks for your advice even it works the other way around.
Go to Settings -> Smart assistance -> One-hand UI
Now, here you will see two options, Mini screen view and Shifting keyboard.
Tap on Mini screen view and turn on the slider

Double tap to Lock screen gone after A.20? and multiple problems with launcher :(

It has been 6-7 days with my new Realme 3 pro and I feel I made a terrible mistake despite all the warnings and reviews about color os. Very bad user experience and lots of bugs and issues.
I did lot of debloating via ADB and decided to use Nova launcher as I have the paid version which I am using for years now on different devices.
Problem with stock launcher of realme / color os - There is no option of "Double tap to lock screen". This is very basic. It has option for Double tap to wake but not double tap to lock. This is must have feature for me.
I can achieve this using Nova Launcher which is much better but there are other issues as color os doesn't properly supports Nova Launcher it seems. If I use clone apps, it places the 2nd icon on home screen and if you are using nova or third party launcher cloned app icons doesn't appear on home screen
Also, the color os wallpapers cannot be selected from nova launcher settings.
Also, the clock and weather widget of color os doesn't works with Nova launcher.
Any suggestion plz. Need to use clone apps also and double tap to lock screen also. Would prefer to use Nova but can use stock launcher also in the worst case. Plz help.
Also, I don't see the custom rom development is very good here like in that of xiaomi devices. Still there are bugs and no fully stable / functional roms yet. I am really worried. I am very knitpicky and can't bear this ****ty color os for 2-3 years.
coloros 7 will be launched on 20th november..
plus dev have successfully compiled a custom kernel for realme 3 pro although it is in beta mode.. wait for some time.. development will pick up pace
