Comments on Android O! - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion

* Why we don't have the nav bar customization available in the system tuner!
* the Power Optimizer app? Is not included as well!
* the old ugly dialer is still here and we didn't get the least one from the XZ1.
* still having the black thumbnails on the recent menu when you have the 4K resolution active all the time, also the dialer is not working as well when you have the 4K.
So far my complaints are those. How about you guys? And if anyone has found a solution to my problems please share the solution with me.

Also all of the old themes aren't compatible with the phone nor, you can install them but the navigation Bar will be odd

[ROM] or [MOD] for [VZW] Humble Requests

First off...many thanks to ALL you devs who have already contributed and will contribute in the future. Your work is necessary as phone manufacturers ship less than perfect handsets. You guys truly make these products sooooo much better.
From what I've been gathering...a number of folks would like some of these ideas listed added to this wonderful phone. Donations shall be in order of course for all the hard work.
- The ability to hide the ever present location "bullseye" Icon
- Replace the battey icon with a custom one (I always thought that multicolored round one with the percent in the middle was coooooollll), or shrinking the stock percentage and placing it on top the battery.
- Bottom speaker gain control
- knock off works if you tap the empty area of the home-screen in a 3rd party launcher (the stock ui sees it as one big app, which is why it won't work unless you double tap the top status bar.)
- Keeping the top status bar and the lower nav buttons transparent in 3rd party launchers (the stock ui again sees it as one big app, rendering the bars opaque)
- Black or gray theme for settings menu....the white is a bit harsh.
- Double tapping the home nav button brings up LG Voice Mate...or that voice control LG app thingy.
Hide the brightness and volume sliders in the notification panel please!

The VZW model never had them in the first place.
This is a request thread and should go in Q/A or general.
Thank you!

No worries.
I'm working on these atm..
but I have F320 Systemui..
no one sent me the Verizon of At&t systemui.apk..
And for the 1% Battery MOD, Framework.res & Lge.res is also required..
EDIT: My friend here, djkinetic sent me those files.. I cannot see or test anything..so i will send it to him for testing. But not everything at once, one by one slowly..
How about removal of the AM/PM please and location icon (as was mentioned)
What kind of bottom speaker control are you asking for?
I support the dark settings theme.
At least you can change the navbar to be black instead of white, and the settings menu to be tabbed instead of one gigantic list. I was worried during initial reviews when they said you couldn't change those.
I'd like to add - ability to customize navbar to add other button types, or at least the customization of the navbar hold-n-drag options (currently holds voice search, Google Now, and something else).

All in good time. The beauty of a flagship device is very highly likely CM support.
AOSP please
How about a permanent Back, Home, Multitask, Menu button layout in AOSP style with a semi transparent background on the homescreen...
Of course, I'd prefer complete AOSP.

Sitting here streaming Slacker radio, dawned on me:
customizable knock patterns! like 2 knocks for skipping a track, change wake up to 3 knocks, etc.
- knock off works if you tap the empty area of the home-screen in a 3rd party launcher (the stock ui sees it as one big app, which is why it won't work unless you double tap the top status bar.)

Just use Nova gesture double tap + tasker task to lock the screen.

Why buy the G2 if all you want is AOSP? You might as well have waited for the N5.. I don't understand why people buy a phone that has some pretty cool features, only to flash AOSP and lose most of it... I get that a lot of what the G2 does can be built into AOSP with different apps but i guess I'm the only one who buys the phone for the experience that was intended by the manufacturer.
Ok guys, was able to make many things and tested them too! Need to fix a few things. Its 4 am here,by 11am i will make a new thread in themes section

Since Xposed / GB is not yet available....

Without Gravity Box how to get a Battery Bar (I know there are battery bar apps, but none I've found yet gets rid of the stock battery status bar icon and that's just redundant) ,
left handed Navbar when in landscape
and expanded power menu?
The rest of the tweaks I can probably live without, but those I use every day.
Battery bar: I don't know about the apps you speak of. You can get rid of the stock icon though. Enable system UI tuner on the phone, then use that to remove the stock icon.
Left side landscape navigation bar: just rotate the phone the other direction.
advanced power menu: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noxx.apm&hl=en&rdid=com.noxx.apm

Also this is a good app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner&hl=en
I've been using the power bar ever since I looked it up. I am really enjoying it.
Wahoo! Official Xposed is available for Nougat!
Just in time, for me.

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
it is a fine and quick device. But after using a custom rom on my z3 compact, i am just missing a few things that i find essential.
1) missing the data traffic monitor 2)missing the option to switch recents and back buttons.
3) missing the 2 extra buttons on the navigation bar.
(yes, they are from gravity box in xposed module)
the standard file explorer is also very bad. it always goes to download map standard, when you want to move or copy a file.
and it has facebook, avg and amazon apps that you can't delete and facebook even has an facebook app manager app that doesn't show up and you need to disable it through the apps menu.

but system ui tuner is there? did you try pressing and holding the settings gear icon in the status bar to see if the system ui tuner appears? tia!
Well that is something new to me. Didn't know that system ui tuner was actually an option. Made the wrong assumption that you meant changing things through the normal menu's. System ui tuner only has options for do not disturb and status bar. No navigation bar . I do have to say that I just updated the software today to a version with the security patches from 1 April.

thanks for the answer, what a pity! so we will probably have to wait for root also to be able to re-arrange navbar buttons :crying: or maybe that is also possible via adb and someone comes out with a solution earlier? :fingers-crossed: what do you think master @serajr? :laugh:
ps. my z2c should be delivered in a couple of days maximum from now! :victory:
@Dxue I know you will be loving me..! :laugh:
I could swap navbar buttons! :victory::victory:
just used this app info who pointed me there was found here!! :good::good:
ps. that app is simply great! apart from swapping the back and recent buttons, I could also add two extra buttons (one for showing the volume panel so I can avoid pressing the hw buttons for doing that, and one for expanding the notification panel) see screen!

that is a great app! thanks for the heads up:good:.
after reading it, i suddenly remembered reading this last year too! I just never took the time to actually remember it, because i used xposed to do all that and felt it was an unnecessary app. UNTIL NOW! hahaha.
btw, i like the theme/icon pack that you are using. mind telling me where you got that from?

taz icon theme from the store, very nice I like it, and particular compared to all others I tried
newbee, but love it
hello, all
i'm newbee in android phone
but i love this phone for basic (but importants) points
- good autonomie
- compact size
- good apn
- a full 5" screen in a small formfactor
So far I really like this device. It's my smallest device yet and I love it. Performance is great and battery life is outstanding. Low light performance with the stock camera app is my only gripe as it seems to add artifacts. Hoping gcam will be available before too long. Decent case selection especially when compared to the Essential.

Android 10 black bar issue

I updated to the new Android 10 and it's really good so far with the new animations and quirks here and there . But for some annoying reason Samsung decided to add this white/black bar underneath the keyboard and it's really uncomfortable and takes so much screen estate . Tried uninstalling and reinstalling Gboard but it's still there and there's no option to disable it . Any ideas on how to get rid of it ?
I think you can find it somewhere inside the Display > Navigation Bar > and the one that has something to do with they keyboard option (I'm sorry I don't have my phone with me right now)
Thats strange. I dont have that black bar under keyboard

Do you have the option for having hide button on keyboard or something like that? It's a toggle under the options for gestures.

Hiding The Big Stupid Navbar Android 11

Long story short, Q gestures is absolutely terrible. I use a third party app for navigation. however, EVERY single app I've ever tried seems to be unable to hide the nav bar due Google's screwery. in fact, even Fullscreen Qgestures magisk module does nothing on Ob1.
Does anyone know a definitive way to hide the stupid annoying navbar?
Google have removed the ability to over-scan the display in Android 11 (which is the trick all 3rd party apps used to hide the nav bar); so at the moment there's simply NO WAY to remove it,
I wouldn't mind the built-in gestures so much if there was the ability to turn off the "mini nav bar" which just shows a hide icon every time you use a keyboard. That's the biggest UI issue in my book, it just looks stupid!
Google needs to reverse it back to the way it was...

With magisk you can use module called Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q-R).
Works great, no problems with missing toast notifications etc.
can confirm, that magisk module works perfectly. use your volume keys during install to set the settings. https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/HideNavBar
Has anyone done this to get fng working on an OP8 Pro with latest Android 11?
EDIT: Just read the github. Doesn't work with Oxygen OS.

I absolutely loathe that extra button.
But the slider at the bottom of the screen for gestures I've grown to love.
Knocking it left or right switches apps really quickly and I couldn't be without that now.

Nice one for this.
Have to keep the OnePlus launcher installed to retain gestures though
Sliding at the bottom still works

I don't understand what you mean: you can define swipes to hide or to reveal the top and/or bottom bars.
No keyboard necessary.

Hi,
You can either use fullscreen Gesture magisk module or you can follow this guide below-
How to remove Nav Bar in Android 11
Works perfectly on OP8 Pro with latest Android 11 update. Thanks a lot.
forum.xda-developers.com
In oxygenOS 11 you can hide the bottom space between the keyboard and gesture .... you have that option in your settings under the language and input section.... you can simply search keyboard height adjustment in setting and you'll find it
thank you
Is there a way to auto-hide the nav bar? Ex. On my old phone you could swipe up to show it or tap a dot on the left to stop it from disappearing.
Looks like the only way is to use a different launcher? I tried adding the fullscreen / immersive module but I believe that's just for the keyboard.
