After two days of owning the Mate 9 PD I have discovered that you can turn most of the native interface to black instead of white (settings, phone, messages, calendar etc.) by goint into battery settings and clicking a switch.
Not only does this make an all black phone look much cooler, it will also save you battery because - Amoled! Also the automatic switch in brightness between apps like messages and home screen doesnt happen anymore or at least isn't that apparent.
Love this phone more and more everyday.

Indeed, it's a great feature!
Another nice feature...
Just found this on the Mate9 forum, usually I made all my device screens look "bigger" with adb wm shell density...method. On PD9 you even do not need to connect to PC or Mac to get this effect, just go into Developers Options and under "Smalest wide" change the standard 460 to a higher Number (I used 520) to get a higher Resolution (see more screen)...
The bad thing about it is that it only stays like that until the first reboot, but since you do not need to cennect to a PC you can change this back very easily
Hello,
When I scroll the text seems to get blurry it smears out a bit u can compare it with a old tft screen, the phone with miui 9.5.17.0 on it.
Is there some fix for it? It is pretty enjoying, I already set Force gpu to render 2d.
hey I have the same question. I bought my father the Redmi Note 5 and i got myself a Mi 8. When comparing the two, I noticed as well that the screen gets very blurry while scrolling. It doesnt matter if its in app drawer, twitter, settings, instagram, facebook etc., it is system-wide. My Mi 8 does not have this "blur effect" when scrolling. Both phones running on latest MIUI beta.
Try changing theme... Some compatibility issues .. try ... If it works for you...
Not helping either. Its more of a Ghosting effect when scrolling etc. Nobody noticed this behaviour on their Note 5?
Yes, I have this as well and its very annoying. Have tried various roms but this is still present to varying degrees.
Although the phone is value for what you get, this is the one area were your getting what you payed for.
yeah ok I read on notebookcheck.com that the redmi note 5 pro has a weak grey to grey response time, which causes the ghosting effect. maybe theres a rom or app or whatever, which can tweak the panel response time!?
As soon as I bought the device (Note 10+) I notice that the black theme is not completely black as in S10+ or S9+. Within applications it is normally completely black but throughout the system it is not completely black. Has anyone else had the same problem? Have they changed anything?
Thank you!

It was never completely black on S10.
It was pitch black on s9 and note 9, but they changed that to dark gray when S10 arrived.
Same on Note10 series now.

Are you talking about Night Mode, or did you apply a theme from the theme store?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/how-to/night-mode-isnt-dark-t3960006
Night mode.
I'm pretty sure it was completely black on S10+.

It may be the theme or a 3rd party launcher screwing it up. Hyperion is notorious for doing this on the homescreen (a slightly lighter band across the top).
Otherwise black should be black except 3rd party apps which may play with it. I run with night mode always on and some apps are a very dark grey; acceptable.
Of course some like the factory load of Gmail just stay bright white, wuvly. My wallpaper is flat black.
Besides the general low quality of this piece of software, here are some specific pains:
1. SafetyNet test fails (no root) - WTF? Can't use any of my work applications because of that.
2. Status bar notification icons don't appear (except for Gmail, for some reason)
3. About device shows there's an update available but I can't update because I'm not the "owner" of the device (there is only 1 user configured, no multiple users) - screenshot attached.
Please share your experience and whether or not you're seeing the same issues (or more).
Thanks!
Another botched update from oneplus scams
Well, it's a good thing I decided that the OP9P would be my last OP smartphone. I'm gona stick with Pixel phone from now on. Finally release A12 and no phone or data works. Really OP???
- Phone stuck in 60hz like 99% of the time.
- Keyboard doesn't have this convenient padding anymore. (On botttom to make typing easier.)
- [Launcher] Can't search apps with a single up swipe anymore, will have to find some hacky solution again. Usually I put a KISS launcher shortcut on other phones. But why ruin it when they had it ....
- [Launcher] Folders open on the middle of screen. Makes no sensse.
- [Launcher] The whole launcher experience is just way worse.
- Battery Management is a mess, now there are other options per app. The previous settings were reset.
- Rooting with Canary Magsik can soft brick. Managed to fix it but it took me a while and I consider myself a veteran.
Honestly, tons of great features are missing. I wish they would just give us a lean AOSP instead like the ASUS Android and call it a day. This feels like a botched, budget Android on a cheap Chinese phone.
App drawers can only display 4 icons per row. Anyone knows how to change it to 5 per row or more?
it is no longer possible to film and in 21:9... or I am blind.
Like a say h8Aramex Phone stuck in 60hz like 99% of the time.

That's not actually a bug, that's feature. Go to notification settings for particular app and you can set to show notification icon on status bar. Disabled by default for all apss (I think it should be enabled by default), except Gmail, Dialer and a few others.
Bug I found:
- font size issues. I want to set small fonts and dpi. But some apps, like default camera app, power menu, google feeds when swipe etc has still default large font, experience is terrible
- custom dpi set in developer settings will be reverted after reboot. If you set smaller dpi in phone settings, it will be applied a few seconds after boot, phone starts with default dpi
- AOD does not work, even if enabled, screen will turn off when inactive
I installed via built in ota from Oxygen 11 Global, I got update to ColorOS 12
Just got my first 1+ yesterday and was really impressed with the OOS 11 experience.
All day long. All the magic has gone after the update.
In addition to what was already said, the AOD is flickering terribly.
Perhaps it is caused by the pwm of low frequency.
Lol, I paid 1000 euros for this phone because the software was supposed to be good...
Oh yeah, the CLOCK. What is WRONG with that CLOCK!? LMAO.
I mean look at this ABOMINATION.
WHO DRAWS A CLOCK LIKE THAT? SATAN?!?!??!
Like wtf lol.
I have a new problem. I listen to music while walking with my wireless headphones. The phone is in my pocket. Unknown reason causes the phone to crash.
I feel it's going to be complicated.... At least I have 5G working.
Why would they remove the seconds on the clock feature. This update is horrible all around

Get Nova launcher and don't look back?
I'm not even going to upgrade A12, I deleted the 4gig update I got from Oxygen Updater. Oneplus just shoot them self in the foot and will not recover from this. I'll be suprise if they sell 1k Oneplus 10 phone next month.

Is your phone in 24-hour format? Mine looks normal in 12-hour format but like yours in 24-hour format. I don't use the stock clock app so I hadn't noticed.

They didn't. This is only when setting an alarm in the clock app.
Camera goes bananas when zoomed beyond 10x.. See attached
Any custom DPI set in developer options is completely lost after reboot.
Reported by me multiple times and was also seen in previous phones/Android versions.
Hi all, i can't open the icon option in the Launcher and and in the settings too it simply crash and nothing. Anyone as an idea? I just wipe launcher data but nothing.

Did you select "High" refresh rate in settings? Mine is at 120hz the vast majority of the time.
I have issues with screen brightness not adjusting to low-light conditions. When setting my phone on my dash mount I have to manually adjust the screen brightness down or go blind, even in dark mode. Worked fine with Oxygen OS 11. Fairly disappointed with the overall quality of this update, and I usually love getting the shiny new OS version update.
After watching a lot of videos I had some questions for which I have not found answer anywhere, Please try to check these and respond if possible.
1. Open any browser or any app settings which has dark theme then click on any option and notice there will be a color change issue (from black to greyish) - I have checked this in iQOO 7 too and this is same with iQOO 9 SE
2. Is there any option to change accent color in iQOO 9 SE?
3. Can we change Notification panel (design) or shape and size of icons?
4. How to hide system apps as in privacy there's no system app shown
5. How to disable virus scan screen after install an app from play store (this has been disabled in iQoo by v-app store but this app is not present in iQOO 9 SE
6. Have you faced any issue with notification while gaming with dark mode specially (it turned like there's 2 screen is running in background one is black-drawer and one is in greynotification panel
7. Does iQOO has a community like OnePlus (app)?
8. How to disable Google feeds/classified from home screen?
9. Accessibility settings for an app auto revoked after no usage of device of 1-2 hr even after turning off battery optimization.
Also realized that some basic settings change after sometime automatically in this phone.
any fix for this?
I was shifted from OnePlus so facing some issue with Funtouch os, I admit that this has some extra feature then oxygen os but has missing some features. please try to provide answer of above questions if anyone can.
even I've been searching for the same and wanted to root my device as well and switch to miui
Can someone please share the Weather apk file from IQOO 9 SE or IQOO 9 or IQOO 9 Pro (Indian variant)?
