Android 11 removed support for overscan and full immersive screen mode (auto hide navigation bar and auto hide status bar) which means that the ugly white or black line/bar at the bottom center of the screen that's wasting pixels and wasting screen estate will remain there until android phone manufacturers find a way to get rid of it.
Also, Google is making it difficult for custom launchers to work well with Android 11. So unless you are using the default launcher that came with your phone (Poco launcher for the Poco F2 Pro), you're going to have issues with gesture based navigation and full screen display modes in Android 11. Even with the stock launcher, you're still going to experience remaining bugs, but not as much as say, when you're using a custom launcher like Nova launcher.
Also, file access permissions in Android 11 is a lot stricter. It's breaking many 'open with' and 'share with' functionality for many apps. Phone manufacturers are going to have difficulty getting over those major Android 11 changes, and so Android 11 is going to be buggy for most part until phone manufacturers sort things out and polish their software skin. It could take more time. The good news is I have found a workaround to make my favorite Nova launcher (a custom launcher) behave as well as the Poco launcher (default launcher) without experiencing the major bugs anymore (unresponsive to gesture navigation and full display mode, as well as no recent apps displayed bug). I'm happy for now because the Android 11 update is workable now for me despite using Nova launcher. Before learning about the quirks of Android 11, I had to stop using Nova launcher because gestures were unresponsive in full display mode and it doesn't show recent apps. I've managed to get both to work even with Nova Launcher as my default launcher.
Biladeiro , 13 Jan 2021Why can't you find Poco F2 Pro stocks all over the world? Yes. There's no stock in anywhere! 😕 You can only find a couple of sellers at AliExpress or Ebay, but it's price went sky high, up to €500 or $600.
The same happens with Xiaomi Mi Note 10 lite and M10 lite, Poco X3 NFC....
I believe that this happens because the sales went beyond there expectations and that theyvare always launching a new device evere 2 weeks!!!!!!
i.e. After the Note 9s,they launched 9 9a, 9c, note 9 pro, just now the 9t 5G.....
It's unbelievable how many devices are coming....

Same ugly, buggy full screen mode. Do not update! I repeat, do not update to Android 11 with MIUI 12.2.4 (stable)! It's nowhere near 'stable'. It's riddled with bugs in dark mode, full screen mode, and gestures. Horrible, horrible for Xiaomi to roll out an update via OTA that is nowhere near stable. I want to revert back to Android 10! Its full screen mode and gesture based navigation was flawless! This MIUI 12.2.4 / Android 11 update is buggy as hell in full screen mode. Bad, bad, bad Xiaomi!
Nekomimi, 14 Jan 2021anyone received an update with miui 12.2.4? how it the update so far?Don't update! It's still a Beta version, and it's full of bugs - I wish I hadn't updated...
Nekomimi, 14 Jan 2021anyone received an update with miui 12.2.4? how it the update so far?Yes, I received it. It's a huge 2.9GB update to Android 11 with security patch also updated to December 2020. I just installed it. It feels snappier BUT... my goodness! It's as BUGGY AS HELL it's like beta software.
The full screen mode leaves a permanent ugly white/black bar at the bottom center so it can do permanent Amoled screen burn in, while at the same time, choping off a significant portion of the bottom screen estate, leaving an ugly wasted black space because scrolling no longer goes past near that stupid white/black bar at the bottom center that never disappears.
It makes the nearly bezel free Poco F2 gain an uglier bigger top and bottom bezels that's not only ugly but wasteful as well. It's like the software was tailor fit for 19.5:9 phones like the Android One Mi A3 and recycled for use in the 20:9 Poco F2 Pro. Xiaomi is destroying the beautiful hole free, bezel free display by making the top and bottom scroll limit boundaries bigger from poorly optimized software (or by using recycled software).
There's wasted black space at the bottom of the screen that no app can use and no, you can't hide the navigation bars and status bars anymore using the app 'Second Screen'. Will probably try ADB commands next (after factory reset). I hate, hate, hate this ugly update.
I am going to factory reset my Poco F2 Pro. I hope it solves this bug and many others like gestures not working in full screen mode, error messages flashed here and there, and mangled dark mode for some apps. I'll update this post once I've done the factory reset and reinstallation of apps.
Nekomimi, 14 Jan 2021anyone received an update with miui 12.2.4? how it the update so far?I did yesterday and it won't let me use the full screen mode, it has gone to buttons mode. Have you had this issues or is it just me?
Had an update today on my Poco F2 Pro - 12.2.4, following the update I was unable to apply the full screen mode (full screen gestures). It changed to buttons mode. Can I ask if anyone else has this problem and what can be done to correct this issue?
Thanks
Biladeiro , 13 Jan 2021Why can't you find Poco F2 Pro stocks all over the world? You can. There's lots of online sellers for it and they cost less than in retail shops/malls.
AnonD-973296, 12 Jan 2021ok thanksNot sure if any of the GCam ports in the link below have functional Night Sight for your Exynos based device. Samsung has been blocking GCam mods in its devices in recent software updates so if any of the GCam mods work below, it may not be for long because a software update may render the GCam mod dysfunctional.

I personally prefer GCam 7.3 from Urnyx because of the ultrawide camera support and option to tweak settings. However, for extremely low light, especially when using astrophotography, I prefer the GCam 8.1 versions. The 8.1 versions are generally cleaner in the shadows and have better dynamic range in harsh lighting in addition to having better astrophotography results. The downside is there are no tweaks (no Lib patcher to optimize results to your liking) and no support for the ultrawide camera. For this reason, I use both versions and have both versions co-existing in my Poco F2 Pro.
