as you can see i manged to get the second screen work with the main screen as one big screen using these tow apps
control screen rotation
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ahapps.controlthescreenorientation&hl=en_US
and
screen shift
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sagar.screenshift2
simply you have to use (control screen rotation) so you can rotate the screen by 180 degree and open screen shift and apply this sittings
you can make a profile using screen shift app so you only get the full screen while using a specific app
the only problem with this method is the touch screen get shifted up-word so its not accrued
but you can watch movies using netflix or any media player

niceeee

That's really nice, but you forgot to specify that you need root to get this working

I found out about another way of accessing the "full screen". If you enable the 3 tap zoom in the settings and tap the screen 3 times, then it will go into full screen and you can actually see that we don't have two screens but only one.

Wonder what the code says for this operation and if it could be used to merge the two screens permanently???

Yeah we need to wait for a Dev to see this and try it out
Furthermore, I was wondering about the marketing of this phone. I recall that it's been advertised as a phone with 2 screen's. Now, this obviously does not have 2 screens but more of a "notch". Does that make it false advertising??
I honestly feel kinda cheated by HTC. This also makes creating custom ROMs so much more complicated as it's not a second screen that Devs can just leave out, but a notch with a rather weird placement, that has to be implemented somehow.

If we do get official pie update from HTC, then I believe that has support for notches built in, so perhaps this may not be as big a problem as we think!?

It was pronounced to be an rotation lock switch, but it didn't make it into the final product. Don't know why though, for me it would come quite handy sometimes...

Probably because the initial design was to include Gingerbread but now Honeycomb has been chosen which already has a software screen lock

All android versions (at least 2.1+, not sure about earlier versions) have software screenlock in settings-> display. But a hardware button is more universal to use, no matter whats on your screen right now.

+1.. tap the time in honeycomb, and then Settings on the little tray pop-up. one of the options in the bigger list is to lock the screen orientation

[Q] Anyway to make the top left of the screen more accessible?

I love my nexus 5 but UIs that require me to touch the top left of the screen are hard to reach. Is there any way to apply a per app hack where the top bar can be stretched or maybe lowered? I appreciate I won't be using all of the screen but it will be worth it for a few specific instances e.g. gmail and hangouts.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying your problem is. Everything should be adjustable per your preferences by default. Maybe you can elaborate in more detail.
Had this issue with my Samsung note 2... One of the reasons I bought the nexus 5 is it fits my hands and my thumb can reach the entire screen. This doesn't answer your question but it was my solution to this problem.

Your picture actually did a great job of explaining what you meant to say. I understand now.
Silly question/statement, but do you know that pressing the "Back" arrow in most cases such as that should take your back to where you were. Most often, that specific option like you displayed, that you can't reach, can be activated the same way by hitting the back button.
There are however, plenty of apps and situations where you need to hit an option in the top left corner and the back button will NOT do this action. I have big hands and have gotten used to being able to tap something on any section of my screen.
You could try installing a mod/app to enable custom gestures in which you can swipe a gesture towards the right and set it to that function. (ex: gesture enabled when you swipe from the center of the right towards the middle, it activates a "back" option.
You can try installing "GMD Gesture Control" for this.
Just a suggestion?
Thanks for your reply! I didn't realise the back button could cater for some of these scenarios. I also didn't realise I could swipe from the left for a lot of these apps. This caters for most of the scenarios so I'm happy now, thanks!
Grabbing anywhere on the left edge of the screen and sliding right does the same as pressing the icon up high. Same goes go for play store.
good day.

Moving the [Status Bar] to Bottom of the Screen

This is a feature which has regressed since the days of CM7, when it was possible to move the status / notification bar to the bottom of the screen. (See attached image.)
This was ergonomically far superior. Try it yourself with your phone turned off -- the anatomy of the hand and range of motion of the thumb make it much easier to swipe up from the bottom, especially when the phone's held with one hand.
Is there any app or xposed module which allows this change on later ROMs? I've searched fruitlessly.
Thanks.

Very funny, but not helpful!
There used to be xposed modules like Phab7, but they only worked up untill kitkat. After that "tablet mode" has been removed from android code. To make such a module, a whole new statusbar and notification screen needs to be designed and coded. I guess there aren't enough people interested in this concept, or at least nobody thinks it's worth their time making such a module.
I wish I was able to make such a module, but sadly I am not.

Would be really nice to have bottom status bar since a lot of flagship phones are around 5.5" to 6+". Such a waste of time and energy having to swipe down from the top or having to go to the home screen to be able to do the gesture half way down the screen. Even though I set long-press home for the notifications shade, it's just not satisfying.
if anyone did managed to pull this off, please share. thank you

split screen position

When using split screen mode, can anyone change the split position to anything other than the middle of the screen? Something like 1/3 of the screen for one app, 2/3 for the other.
I believe I was able to do this a few weeks ago (maybe with an earlier ROM, I'm on 1.13 now) but it doesn't seem possible anymore.

I can still do it. On 1.13 myself (Sprint phone, if it matters).
On my (same firmware) Sprint phone, I can move the border, but it doesn't stick. It bounces back to the middle. So, you can view more of one, but only while holding it.

Wait....are you referring to portrait or landscape? Because landscape doesn't resize....

Go for display size small
Bingo, you're right!
Not sure if my elder eyes will like small, but at least it's good to know the mechanism.

Nice tip (had no idea about this) but it's not what my U11 used to be able to do. This method allows sticking the slider in 3 positions and only in small size, but I used to be able to do this with all positions and with normal screen size.
I can't resize on portrait mode either...WWE U11 on 1.13.401.1
And the split screen is really poorly supported...take a look:
On U11

On HTC 10

Both phone are loaded with same font, same font size, same display size, and same app opened...Wondering how could this happen

Instagram always showing Quick reactions for Stories on big screen

Guys, I have problem with the Instagram app. When Iam watching stories on main (small) display, everything is fine. But when I unfold the phone and watch the stories on big screen, I always see (at the top) the Quick reactions menu, which is annoying. To remove, I always need to click to the "Send message" area at the bottom, hide keyboard which pops-up and use the back gesture – after that Quick reactions disappears for a while (until I launch IG app again). Anyone has the same behavior of the IG app?

Have the same issue
Same here
Have the same issue in 16:9 aspect ratio... Used multistar to go to full screen and it works fine using that layout (default)...
thanks for the tip with the Multistar app, but when you switch to "fullscreen", stories looks quite ugly (they are cut by the sides), and this screen aspect ration isn't also good for posting new stories. Hope Instagram will fix this bug soon.
I have the same issue too, I would prefer fullscreen using multistar, however that means that some text can be cut out in stories, as Instagram still doesn't want to use auto-fit with their app
Tried to download older version of Instagram app (this one from October) and it works great with the Quick reactions on foldable screen

Thanks get the armv8 one. Works great I have it set in Goodlocks to 16:9 it's a good compromise. Sure some stuff gets cut off on the ultra tall stories but not that much. Set it to not auto update so it doesn't change versions.
Change resolution to default and it will fix that

yes but default fills the entire screen and cuts off people's stories and posts that use tall screen ratios like the new iphones
Hi, my best friend had a similar problem. She is a social media manager so, this was a problem for her. She reached out to multiple gsm points. Unfortunately, none of them could solve the problem. After some time, she contacted megafamous.com. They gave her some suggestions on how she might fix the problem. After a couple of days, she already told me it worked out well. Not sure what she exactly did though. However, you may try to get in contact with megafamous.com and see what they can offer you.
Hi, Few months ago i was faced same issue on instagram thanks to muymorefollowers's team they give me a solution to get rid this issue live chat with buymorefollowers.uk and get solution right-away. thanks
