That's just for the phone in general. Doesn't adjust notification font or icon size.

I just tried it and it made everything grotesquely huge. Icons, notification text, everything. In older versions of Android it didn't use to.

Yea, I mean that's a basic feature. You would think MIUI would have it since it's big time into customization.

Oh right. I just assumed you tried to do it with something else. I'll look for the setting. If you mean accessibility I already have that adjusted.
Now what exactly do you mean by the notification font/icons? Do you mean only the top row of the phone with the mini icons for battery, signal level etc.? If that's what you meant, then yeah, without rooting I don't think you can do anything with that. However, the setting that I mentioned really enlarges almost everything in the system. What remains the same size is the top row and the size of toggles in the notification shade.
To enlarge the status bar you could probably use some on-demand zooming after setting it up in accessibility settings.

Yes, the top. Nothing can be done really to it without root. I tried all accessibility settings and none affect that.

I used to use "Status" in the Play store for those settings but it won't work on Pie. Didn't need root either.
I tried pushing the Display size in Accessibility settings to the max (Larger), and it increases the size of everything, but the top row only slightly.
Another setting that might be useful, but not so much if you need it larger all the time, is turning on "magnify with triple-tap". Then you can triple tap the notification row to enlarge it temporarily.

I mean I can see the entirety of the phone with settings set to large, but the notification bar is even more tiny than what I would have been comfortable with before I needed glasses. Thanks for trying tho, I appreciate it. I may root after all but I do like the MUIU set up.
NotchTest
I use Notch Test to fix the current problem of notifications not showing/staying in the notification bar. There is a setting within it to set the icon size. Mine is currently set at 60 which matches clock etc but it could be set larger if wanted. Would not affect the clock or network icons etc though..........
I ended up rooting my Redmi Note 7. All is well now with my Metallica vision issues and the phone.

I'm not sure how widely known this is, but it's possible to change the DPI of your new phone if (like me) you find that everything is too big. It's super easy too.
1. Go to About Phone > Software Info and tap the Build number 7ish times to unlock the developer options menu.
2. Back out to settings, enter the Developer options menu now at the bottom of the list.
3. Scroll down until you find the Minimum width setting in the Drawing section about 3/4 of the way down. It's set to 411dp by default on the S8+.
4. Change it to whatever you prefer! Higher number = everything gets smaller, Lower number = everything gets bigger.
Enjoy your extra space!
Awesome.. one problem.. keyboard looks wierd after changing width
If the keyboard looks weird.. Go up on DPI because its breaking up the design.
Im at 460 on highest resolution. And its not breaking that.

Is your AOD centered (if you have it enabled)? I set my S8 to 420 and the AOD was slightly skewed to the right. Tried pushing it down to 411, which I guess is default on the S8+ and it re-centered the AOD. I'm assuming there are various 'accepted' DPI settings that won't break the layout; I think somebody listed them for the Pixel on Reddit, but I can't find a similar listing for the S8. Any ideas?

I also noticed it not being centered after changing the DPI, and what's worse after setting it back to 411 it's still not centered
I'm at 480 and it's great. My aod is centered, but isn't it supposed to move a little very slowly to prevent burn in?

500 here w/ all apps full-screen, bold font just a shade above tiny. So glad this is able to be done w/o root, along w/ multi window for any app!
Any recommendations for a bigger option xd... tried 351 but doesn't seems great.. 411 is too small for me
600 turns on tablet mode, and things are working well. Two issues I've noticed so far:
* The battery icon in AoD doesn't render correctly
* "About Phone -> Status" page causes com.android.phone FC - doesn't seem to have any ill effects besides not being able to open that page. Need to go 599 or lower to get it to open again.
480 is a good one

Hey, can you elaborate on the multi-window? I haven't messed around with mine that much yet, and I haven't seen anything mentioned anywhere else.
I remember doing this on the Note 7 I think and I remember that though I liked it, I wanted to go back, so when I set it back to the DPI that it was before, it didnt actually restore everything to the way it was. I noticed someone on here mentioned they set it back to 411 and that did NOT bring things back to stock. Can anyone else confirm?
Im on the s8+ and I love smaller icons/txt so I'd like a higher DPI, but scared that if I dont like it, I will not be able to get everything back to stock without restoring the phone, which I really dont want to do lol.
Also, what is AoD?
I use Nova, so not sure what it stands for.

I haven't noticed anything that doesn't change back. If there are certain font sizes etc that don't change back, I would suspect a reboot would fix that, but I can't tell you for sure. AoD is 'Always on Display', the clock/date/battery/etc display that comes up on the screen when the screen is "off".

Sure thing!
Settings>Advanced Features>Multiwindow: Enable both
Developer options>Force activities to be resizable: Enable
Once you've done that, hold your recents button to use multi-window whenever you'd like. I tend to use the feature for most of my daily work, and in my opinion is the most useful native addition in years.
I should mention as well, enabling "screen pinning" (Settings>Lock Screen and Security>Other Security Settings>Pin Windows) and using it when still wanting to keep another app full screen is very beneficial! Once enabled, you can access the feature w/ the recents button as well. Just hold down on the app.

Any chance that someone can change the DPI to something and then back to stock (411) and see if everything (keyboard, AoD, etc) return back to stock too.

What I meant was, they do return back but I can't tell you definitively that every single setting is identical.
I searched thoroughly and couldn't find a thread or a fix. Where do we edit the quick settings in the notification pulldown? Mine is blank, and I don't readily see it in Settings, nor is there an edit function in the pulldown. Suggestions?
You don't have the editing pencil icon on there?

Someone else here solved that by rebooting the phone. Afterward the pencil icon appeared and they were able to set it up. Can't remember which thread at this point.

Pull down the notifications and then pull down again on the (blank for you currently) quicksettings section and you'll see pencil that lets you edit

Thanks for this. JUST picked up mine and was going crazy since I wasn't seeing the toggles. Very odd that it comes up blank like that out of the box.
Hey I found out the issue here. I had the same thing happen with the T-mobile variant. I did a factory reset and restored my google account and it was still missing. I did a second factory reset and didn't restore and sure enough it showed up. I then did the oneplus restore and nothing changed. I then got the phone unlocked and still no issue. After a restart everything was fine and then I did a google restore. I chose only to restore call logs and messages. The second it was done the quick settings disappeared again. This is clearly an issue with google and this device. Not sure if it's a T-Mobile issue specifically

Ah, thank you, that fixed it for me. Mine was looking just like yours. And when I locked the screen and then pulled down the notifications drawer, a pencil did appear which let me fix it all up.
I think I might know what broke it for me. When I upgraded my OnePlus 5 from OxygenOS 5.1.7 to 9.0.3, I still had jOnePlus Tools [adb/root] by JRoot3D.dev installed, and it was changing how many quick settings tiles are shown after one swipe down (in the single row). I think it was essentially doing this:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure sysui_qqs_count 8
When I used the app to change that number, all my quick settings tiles disappeared. The app has not been updated in a while, so I'm going to keep it off my phone until it's updated for Android Pie
Just as a quick update on this. This is still a problem on the T-Mobile device on 9.0.13 fully stock.
I guess this must then mean that the quick setting cannot be hidden on the lockscreen...

Actually, I think I found a better solution here.
The trick seems to be that on the unlocked version of the shade, the pencil and user switcher icons only show up when you expand the QS panel. However, if you don't have enough icons in the panel to force the need for the additional row (there is a little hint that shows up when you drag an icon that indicates that you need at least 6 icons), then you can't swipe it down, and there no icons or any warning of any sort are shown.
The shade on the lockscreen doesn't appear to enforce that icon minimum, so the pencil and user switcher show up fine (perhaps this is due to the fact that on the lockscreen, the notifications themselves don't live in the shade as they do when the device is unlocked).
It also seems like older OOS versions didn't enforce that icon minimum, so if you only had, say 4 icons (not sure who would do that), then did an upgrade, you would have this strange behavior.
I have mine set to 525 dp. I prefer having really small icons and text. Most of all I like forcing the tabbed UI in Firefox. I haven't noticed any real disadvantages.
I am curious to know what settings you all use besides the default one.
Yes. Using 702 dp
Is there a standard set of sizes that can be used that don't cause any display abnormalities? I see 525 and 702 and that I'm running 454 as per smallest OOS visibility setting. These seem like random setting but I'm sure they aren't.

600 seems to be the point where it reads as a tablet, as Chrome starts to have tabs at that setting. There are some other settings the device doesn't seem to like and will jump to the next highest number it likes. Example: setting it to 598, will automatically make it set to 600. Did not notice any abnormalities other than icon placement, which can be adjusted.
I messed with it the other day and my launcher wasn't changing. Anyone else have that issue?

Spotify calls my 6T as tablet even in smallest delault size. So I guess evvery app has their own definition of when a mobile becomes tablet.

I always used to set my phones to tablet mode, but at the moment it seems to break Google lens so I've had to set it just below. I don't really like the full width notification shade and lockscreen notifications, and miss chrome tabs.
Also, how does it affect the status bar \ notch?
it's dpi and screen ratio the wm command is easy way or get app that changes it
I use 600 in developer settings, font smallest, and screen smallest... I still have the original swype apk and prefer the 'tablet' version of the keyboard. This, and the fact i have a lot more 'real estate' are the primary reasons I set it to 'phablet' mode.
i mistakenly increased it to 600 and my device isnt working
I have changed it to 1200 and now pocof1 cannot load anything. Is there a fix to this?
hi can someone help me I recently changed mine by accident and i put it to 200 and now my tablet is on black screen if i hold the power button i can see the options to power off restart and lock it , i restarted it multiple time and power it off and on multiple times too . can someone help me
After A10 update on the right side of the notch there's space for only 5 icons now, while on pie it could fit 6 icons. Is it a bug or what? It's really inconvenient not being able to see my alarm icon

Notch Killer doesn't work in Android 10, I just tried. The option doesn't show up in the developer section. Maybe there's some additional steps for our devices.
EDIT
Scratch that, it "works", it's just translated to "double display cut out", but it makes no difference to me.

if you change the display density you get more icons.

The dots are not part of the data status traffic?, Maybe it can't display completely because of your DPI. Try reducing the DPI and the letters size for seconds and see what's more is there.

Yeah they are not for data speed. Those dots are for when you have some notification. But I don't have any notification, and I still see those dots. I never touched DPI. Decreasing font size does nothing. I even removed battery icon to have some more space there

I still think that is the connection speed, the three dots are the values that precede the total amount of 1024 KBS/s.
To know if there is or not, disable the option in display settings.
And if it is not, you could try to investigate with an app like this or similar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.hcilab.projects.nlog&hl=es&gl=US
On the left are notifications, on the right are icons from system, so that's probably speed icon - too long format or too many icons, like gps, clock, battery, download, etc

Nah they're not. Check this gif.
Here's what I did:
1) initially there are no dots.
2) I sent a test notification from an app
3) once the notification appears, the dots appear too.
4) after I clear the notification, the dots disappear
But THAT is not my problem. My problem is that those dots sometimes appear when there's no notification. I have to restart for that to go away.
