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.

Anonymous, 03 Jan 2021I have both 7.3 and 8.1, so there must be some misunderstanding...Some ported GCam versions can't co exist with other GCam ported versions, with the second GCam installation producing an error if the first one is not uninstalled first. However, there are GCam versions that have no problem coexisting with other GCam versions. It's understandable since there are lots of simultaneous development from various developers.

Anonymous, 02 Jan 2021Tried it briefly - just indoors in low light. I see no real difference in image quality in com... moreGCam 8.1 is still newly released so no wide angle camera support yet but I'm sure it's coming for later versions of the port. You can use the older GCam version (7.3.0.18) to have Night Sight in the wide-angle and macro modes or you can use the newer GCam 8.1 and use Night Sight on the main and selfie camera (which is better than the previous version in very low light) but you'll have to use the default camera app for the macro and ultrawide since the GCam 8.1 port still doesn't have support for both.
