I just downloaded the latest update for the ZenUI 4.0. (Kernal version Fri Sep 8 01:15:49 CST 2017) Now the clock on the lock screen is messed up. For example 2:43pm looks like this:
02
43pm
I have attached an image to show it.
Does anyone know how to change this back to the correct way to write the time?
Unfortunately it seems it's like that by design.

Blah. I wonder where they get this idea. I have never seen a clock like this.
The same here, this design is awful. I tried to download even paid themes, which showed better & bigger clock ... no change. I tried to play with settings ... no change. I tried to download xposed & Lock screen clock mod ... no change.
Anybody any idea how to change it please?

Anyone else notice that since KE1 the clock and date on the lockscreen are squashed right down at the bottom of the screen and look sort of naff?
In KDD they were higher up on the screen and it looked more professional.
Just wondered if it was me?
You can change where the time is shown on the screen, perhaps that changed?
Check settings -> display -> screen something (mine is the topmost) -> background
Yes, I noticed this as well, also the date is no longer in line with the clock, which is annoying. I hope they put it back to how it used to be in the next update. It has nothing to do with lock screen settings, I've tried them all it won't go back to how it used to be, though I think it looks better with the clock etc at the top of the screen now, less squashed.
I thought something looked weird, now I can't unsee it.

Haha same here
interesting, I use the pattern lockscreen so the clock is at the top for me.
Any updates on the Lockscreen except the Clock issue that is mentioned? I have made a port of the Galaxy S II Lockscreen on Galaxy S, hence I am interested in knowing the same..
Hi all,
In the past a few mods have caught my eye, over time they've slowed stopped being available on all devices, mostly because of changes made to android.
Here's a list of the ones I liked most.
1. Screen off animation, the CRT on /off it just looked amazing.
2. List view animations, not completely gone but not exactly something you can just flash.
3. Halo, I know this was paranoid androids, but it never got ported over quite as much as I thought it would..
My question is are these available anywhere ? Any idea how to flash them ? Or even if anyone misses them like I do?
I know that CRT and list view can be obtained by flashing two Xposed modules called
Screen off animation and xui mod.
Halo I've never seen outside of PA.
But these mods used to be flash able as standalone without Xposed.
Personally I'd like to avoid Xposed as it breaks so much and I don't like it to be honest, although its a great bit of software.
Any ideas ?

You can use Screen Off and Lock ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en ) to achieve your desired screen lock effect. I too LOVE the CRT T.V. off look that Moto put on their phones some time ago. I use this app all the time in conjunction with Nova Launcher's ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en ) double tap action just to make everything super fluid. As for the list animations, I am not too sure what you mean but they may be found in Nova settings too. I know it has an option for something like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As far as the Halo type things you may want there is an app called Unique Controls and does not require root. Hope this helps!

This is one of my old HTC devices the list view animations can be seen here as can the screen off animation,. The CRT animation was changed from not existing to CRT to fade which it is now, the Nexus devices had it originally then vanilla type phones like Moto followed suit.
I've seen the application and it's not quite the same, although it wasn't last I tried it, I'll give it a whirl and see how it is.
Same with unique contrails, sorry I probably should have mentioned this too, they aren't quite the same as the originals.
Appreciate you taking the time to answer though, thanks.
From what i remember it was something to do with surface flinger but I remember that that has now changed although could be wrong (screen off animation that is)
Any other ideas?
Ok so that app has come a long way, by all accounts it doesn't allow for the actual power button to show the screen animation and fingerprint didn't work, probably a way to map a key to it.
Will check it out tomorrow
Cheers
Ok so tried a few of them apps and none of them allow you to use fingerprint thereafter

Yep there was, however back in the day it wasn't required.
Months and MONTHS of waiting...
She's finally here on June 21, 2018!!
Build OCLS27.76-69-4
Oreo!!!!! 8.0!!!!!
Download was 1600mb roughly, took about 30 mins from DL to installed.
Icons look better, taskbar feels better and looks better, has better usability, added functions...
That's about as far as I got with it so far. Downloaded for about 15 mins now. The settings menu has improved too, luckily.
Otherwise, I'm sure there's more. Let me know if you find any extra features for your Z!
Still working through looking at everything.
I don't like the new commend center widget...

Anyone having any issues with the update?
So far I haven't had any issues. Update popped for me on the 19th. I love it. Everything feels snappier. Battery life seems to have improved (though it was great before) the notification UI takes a little getting used to and there some persistent notifications that I can't seem to get rid of and while that's a little annoying ultimately it's not bad by any means. Has anyone else noticed how in developer options there's a slider option for unlocking bootloader? I don't remember that being in 7.1.1
•System UI Tuner Settings don't allow level 1-5 notifications
•Hiding the clock in the status bar also hides in in the notifications pulldown
•Less Moto options
• These notifications settings make NO sense. I don't want your persistent info in my face!
Screw any updates this brought me, I want my nougat back.
SMH, call this an update?
The "dots" are nice but why so lazy to call them dots? This is billions of people who get these.
I hate the blinding white screens in the UI accessing settings.
Is Wi-Fi problem solve with oreo update..?
Ocls27.76-69-4
Failed to update from ota how could i install the update now..??

Thankfully, Android 8.0 (Oreo) supports themes without root!
I just followed the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76687469&postcount=4
Which ends up directing you to these instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/substratum/andromeda-desktop-clients-release-notes-t3668682
I attached a screenshot for evidence, lol.
Here is the ota : https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Es ist da !!!
Just got the OTA on a Verizon Pixel 2 and it's 1139 MB. Yikes, dl now.
Updated just now via OTA. I don't feel it's polished yet, still some things left not taken care of. E.g. Spacing of the icons in the dock is unbelievable and the clock icon is pixelated. Probably more.
can not enable wind mode help me

I'm not seeing that but I might not know exactly what you're talking about. Can you explain a little further?
Spacing between the icons and the Google search widget in the Pixel launcher dock is too big and illogical. Also, when tapping on the widget and then opening an app from those suggestions, the animation is not the new one, rather the one from Oreo and previous versions. Share animation is still inconsistent and swiping through apps via the nav bar pill is sometimes skipping animation.
I think Google didn't really know what to change so they forced this P update and it's not polished. I know some of this is nitpicking, but they're worlds biggest software company and these things shouldn't happen.

Just one question. With the update did you get the new two-button navigation or the old three button? I ended with same old same old 3-button.

I'm being unusually thick today and I'm just not seeing any of this stuff. Is there an official post of the changes and where the heck they are *exactly*? To say wind in do not disturb doesn't help me today as noted above.
I'm not getting the OTA I opted into the Beta when the DP5 released but I factory reset my device after it installed do i have to manually flash it or opt out of the Beta?

I'm pretty sure I saw an OTA for DP5 - final from someone. I'd wait a little bit until it all shakes out.
edit: yeah it looks like dp5 to final is only like 45 MB or so. Might just want to wait. This is from the 2 XL forum though.
running fine here, except can't use Android pay Fresh factory image and update to Pie. No, this is the final Android 9

That's pretty cool. I'll try it for a while. Does that get rid of the "clear all" apps tab? Still not seeing Wind down mode anywhere. Any help with that one?
edit: Looks like Wind mode and grayscale is not yet available.
two button navigation, it's an option in Settings. Someone beat me to it ?
Trying to flash the factory image, I get an error of it not being able to find system.img for some reason.
Don't know is it a fearure or a bug
But the brightness slider is acting weirdly
From 0 to 80% it is dim and from 80 to 100% it brighten up the screen
Does anyone else facing this issue ?
Ok,
This is driving me nuts. Overnight my contacts and phone colors changed by themselves. The colored tiles for each contact etc changed and they are very light colored. Almost screwed up looking. I could not find any settings to fix this. In an attempt to fix it, I updated my Essential Phone to 9.0 via OTA and the weird colors followed the update and are still there.
I tried enabling developer mode and manually putting the phone into the "dark" theme, and that still doesn't seem to fix it. What happened? Has anyone had this happen?
I can't find anything about it on google, but it looks terrible and its driving me crazy.
Attached screenshots.
material2 update, get used to it i guess, every google app and lots of mainstream 3rd party going that route

I have the same issue - it looks like a Google update (without asking for a permission), but I did not find any fix for it so far
The only way how to get rid of those strange colors seems to be to add a picture to the contact, but do you want to do it for ALL contacts...?
Could you, please let me know if/when you will find a better solution?
Thanks,

Google ask permission,lol they are updating material design. They can and do change things you know.
Turns out they can enable this server side these days, so you could have installed the requisite update a week ago.
Use substratum
There is this https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/08/27/google-teases-dark-mode-phone-app-play-store-update-notes/ but who knows when it will be available and what it will look like with the dark mode applied.
