Magisk Module "noneDisplayCutout" (full screen for apps in landscape)

[SGH-i200]

Magisk Module "noneDisplayCutout" activates additional option in DevSettings - https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/noneDisplayCutout

Pixel 4a screen is blacked out on left side without this mod in the Netflix app. See attached screenshot.

"[Remove display cutout][ROOT] Full screen 21:9 for apps in landscape, incl Netflix" https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-vision/how-to/remove-display-cutout-screen-219-apps-t4057851

I don't have a Pixel 4a yet, but I hope that this mod looks the same as on the Motorola Vision One (see attachment).

At the OS level, if your app is not declaring in some way that it is "hole punch / cutout compatible" then it doesn't report those pixels as available to the app. This would be done to ensure that apps do not unwittingly draw a necessary UI element right on top of the hole.

More info here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/display-cutout

Presumably what the Magisk module does is force apps to behave in a cutout-allowed manner.

Does the Magisk module add a new entry (see list before activation of module in screenshot) in the developer settings or not?

Yes it does

But if you select the new entry and restart your Pixel, there is no change at all? Please compare to the picture of the Motorola One Vision I added to the first post.

Selected no cutout, rebooted, no change at all

Thanks for testing! I will try to understand the sources to update the mod, when I have the 4a myself... https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/noneDisplayCutout

Anything I can do to help? would really like to see this work.
I've never done magisk modules but I have done some modding myself
let me know

If you are knowledgeable enough to 'reverse engineer' the Magisk module yourself, open the file https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-R...ionNone/DisplayCutoutEmulationNoneOverlay.apk with "JADX" (automatically converts an APK into a readable format, so there isn’t a need to do anything prior. Simply run JADX, open an APK, and analyze away!).

If you can't understand what's going on, contact the author of the Magisk module.

I used to use the notch killer option in the magisk module g-visual mod to make this work but this doesn't seem to be working under 11. Hopefully it gets updated...

I suppose it's because Google killed wm-overlay in android 11, but hopefully the dev finds a way to update it for Android 11. If I know that there's a working app to remove the cutout and make the phone more one handable, I'll go with rooting and unlocking bl, that would be my main incentive.

I'm a Pixel 3 XL user, and still have the "no cutout" option available in my developer settings when using Android 11. I do not know if this will work since I'm not a Pixel 4a user, but perhaps someone could give this APK a try with the Magisk module? It's the "no cutout overlay" app from my Pixel 3 XL, and since it comes from an Android 11 installation, perhaps it will work?

I have a pixel 4a5g, but all the stuff from the pixel 5 works. In the mods section of the p5 forum, there's a mod to fix the statusbar by enabling waterfall cutout in developer settings. I use that on my 5g. Also use a nav delete mod.

There's also a custom adb mod, but it doesn't work on the December update yet. That would let me combine the two mods.

Might be worth a shot if you know how to deal with a magisk induced boot loop just in case.

Thanks. Waterfall on the 4a makes the already narrow screen narrower. This app seems to work at times but a bit kludgy?
