Well, it should be there because I enabled it. I will search for it and come back to you.

I'm sorry. I found this menu item. all settings were restored from the backup, except this one. I thought that this function was removed.
if someone can't find it. this item is located in the "display" section, then you need to go to the "lock screen" and this item is called "long press on the fingerprint sensor to unlock the device"

What is the difference between AOD and ambient display? Will AOD damage my screen?

 

[pipes80]

is there a possibility to update without the use of a pc?

Hello, is there any way to remove the navigation bar pill on the bottom on the screen?

I am using the latest version.

It should be available under Gestures > System navigation

 

[balgxmr]

If someone finds these following bugs:
- Crash using Internet tile
- Fp location is under actual fp sensor in authenticator
- Dark mode crashing SystemUI (if you experience this, disable hide gesture bar for now)
- Autobrightness changes not being smooth
- While using HBM mode, and you use fod, screen dims
These will be fixed for next update

 

[Satit888]

Any chance to use volte?

 

[Felda123]

It should be available under Gestures > System navigation

It isn't available. There's only the option to turn on the gestures and adjust its sensibility but no option for removing that damn pill.

 

[TBGmrU]

It should be available under Gestures > System navigation

Unfortunately the option isn't available.

The only options are to adjust the sensitivity and the digital assistant

When I flashed PixelOS I could not connect to wifi. Looking at the thread, it seems like a few other people had the same issue.
The same happened with PixelExperience, so this issue is not specific to PixelOS, but strangely does not appear on MIUI. The problem might have started after flashing crDroid years ago.
Previously I used to flash TWRP_CEPHEUS_Fix_WiFi_v1.0.zip which fixed the wifi. Before flashing, the file /vendor/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/wlan_mac.bin is a symlink to a file in the persist partition, which might be corrupted on my device because it doesn't work; the fix replaces the symlink with a new wlan_mac.bin.
Since the zip does not work on PixelOS recovery, here's what I did instead.

• Flash PixelOS according to instructions.
• Go through setup wizard skipping most of it
• Install Magisk Manager, extract boot.img from PixelOS zip, patch with magisk manager, flash.
• Extract wlan_mac.bin from the fix zip, use root adb shell to copy the file on /vendor/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/wlan_mac.bin
• restart

I tried adapting the fix to work on PixelOS recovery, but I had trouble accessing the vendor partition on a retrofit, so I ended up doing things manually as explained above.
Overall, the ROM is great! I am happy to finally be able to use it.

I am trying to understand it, but what is a retrofit Rom? Are there another roms not being retrofit?

A retrofit ROM implements the new partitioning scheme (Android dynamic partitions) on a device that did not support them at the time of launch. There are no reasons to avoid retrofitted ROMs unless you're having specific issues. For me PixelOS works great so I'm going to stick with it.

Google introduced 'Dynamic Partition' technology with the release of Android 10, and they require every devices launching with Android 10 and up to use 'dynamic partition'.

Since Cepheus was released with Android 9, it was not required to use 'Dynamic Partition' technology, but google made a way to implement 'dynamic partition' to devices like cepheus. and those devices - which launched before Android 10 - are called 'retrofit'. and 'retrofit rom' means the 'dynamic partition technology' is implemented to it.

'dynamic partition' literally allows the device to manage storage partitions dynamically, so the device will use storage more efficiently, and it allows new features like 'Seamless Update' possible.

but since partitions are not strictly divided into small segments, it increases complexity to find and access specific segment. that's why the TWRP recovery is struggling to follow up the newest Android versions.

whether implementing 'Dynamic Partition' feature or not is completely upto the devs.

xiaomi ecosystem applications are tightly integrated into the miui system. so if you want them without any problem, then you should stick with the miui, not custom aosp.

Hi guys. This new update is great. Everything is working except one big problem for me. Autocconect of bluetooth devices is not working on this update. When i get out of range with my smartwatch and come back it won't auto connect. And the same is with car multimedia when i sit in car it won't connect. On previus build autoconnect was working great. Is there some setting i am missing?
