Pop Up Message Notification Lockscreen - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have switched from IPhone to HTC one M8 and finding it ok, but miss a few little things from the iPhone. When the M8 is on standby so black screen, if I get a message all I get is green led flashing to notify me. I would rather the message pop up on the screen same as the iPhone does. Can it be done in the settings is reads like it can, but in reality it doesn't. Unless I'm doing something wrong. I am wondering if also if the samsung S5 rom can be installed on the m8 if I was to root it? As I understand the pop up happens on the samsung. Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what you want exactly. Try Settings-Security-Lock Screen Notification Settings.

I guess what he means is that all notifications are shown there. But on the stock HTC lockscreen only the HTC apps notifications can be shown, as long as he is usin a stock ROM and not a custom ROM such as ViperOne (as this ROM can show notfications of user defined apps on the HTC lockscreen notification area).
If you want to stay on stock ROM just search the PlayStore there are multiple alternatives to the stock HTC lockscreen which can do what you want and can be installed using PlayStore.

Thanks for this information! I'm using it on my Main device but didn't recognize it jet.
But is it just pop up or are the messages shown in the htc notification widget on the lockscreen? The later is what the OP means as I think.

My company uses iPhones as business phones. So as I'm using an iPhone S4 with iOs on it for business and am quite sure that they included it into their lockscreen as a list and not as simple popup.
I have to confess it's the only feature I realy like on iOs. As I like the stock HTC lockscreen I decided against the use of a third-party app from Google Play.

Yeah I prefer the stock HTC lockscreen too but I don't care about the notification to be honest. Actually I prefer them to not show up at all because everyone will be able to read my text messages without unlocking the phone.

That's a damn good attitude to have. Don't need other people to be abled to spy on your messages this easy.

You could always use a third party sms application like evolve sms? It has a built in popup that unlocks the screen and bypasses the lock screen. This is what I use and absolutely love it!

Well that's right. But not the same as a list view integrated in the lock screen. And this is what we're talkin' about I guess.

I would suggest the OP give the dynamic notification app a try. It's really great, I've been using it for ages and it will do what he wants. Don't get rid of sense, it's much better than touchwiz!

Android L, which is coming out later this year has it built in, I played with it on my nexus 5....you'll love the notifications on that, very much like the iPhone.

[APP] LockWidgets 2.5 [Updated 7/20]

Hey all! Here's another app to add to the stack of things homebrewers enjoy and Microsoft should've cooked in themselves
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So here's the app I've been working on for over a month (on and off, anyway) titled LockWidgets 2. As the name suggests, this is the second version of the LockWidgets application. This new version runs entirely in the background on the device thanks to some trickery, and thus can provide some nice real-time information on the lock screen.
The idea behind the application was to augment the lockscreen, adding data about the device state into the clean interface. While I still have a lot of work to do on the UI, I think the idea is coming together fairly well (more or less). In later versions, I hope to bring a nice mix between the sleekness of metro and the beauty of, well, chic.
Here's the basic scoop:
Features
SMS widget
Weather widget
Battery widget
Coming soon: RSS widget, improved forecast info, more notification data, RAM widget
Runs in the background, no need for messy data transfer
Should run side-by-side with other homebrew apps, such as Folders, Battery Status, etc.
Requirements
Full Unlocked ROM -or- WP7 Root Tools working on the device.
Download
Over here
Enjoy, and be sure to give suggestions/feedback! Appreciate it.

That exactly is I have titan on dymanics 1.21 too didnt seem to work but I rebooted and gave root then started app again and it works now. Thanks
Not sure which of those steps bumped it into place.
It doesn't work for me.
I gave it root access, I run the application, I press Save, it says something about a 'fired agent' and then I can read 'running'.
If I try to lock the screen and unlock it I simply can't see any of the widgets ... no battery, no weather, nothing.
Tell me what information do you need to have me providing you a more accurate feedback.
The device and the ROM are the ones in my signature.
This works great on my Omnia 7, Thanks! Much appreciated.
Would it be possible in future version to set the color of the text?
And maybe choose a default temperature type(Celsius\Fahrenheit)?

I have DFT Rainbow on my Focus, but I'm flashing it soon so I'll see if things change. There *could* be a glitch with the way that this full unlock works, but I can't say for sure. I'll give it a try and see what happens.

[APP] Frozen LED - Manage your notification LED by app or by contact

Manage your LED notification light fast and easily. No more trying to guess which app or which person demands your attention with random colors.
Features:
Select color by app or by text. Your favorite contacts can have their own color no matter which app they use to contact you.
Handle missed called.
Fine tune blinking speed for each notification.
Lightweight, almost no memory and battery footprint.
This app makes use of Android's 4.3 Notification Listener and thus it must be enabled under Device Settings > Security > Notification Access. It cannot access the internet so your personal data is absolutely safe.
Thanks for giving it a look!

Nope... Stock 4.3 ROM, Franco Kernel r183, had Light Manager installed before your app, but I uninstalled it and rebooted just to make sure nothing interfered. Any more ideas? Pulse notification light under Settings is ticked, of course. And yes, I'm turning off the screen hehehe

[Q] How to get further customisations

Hey guys, over on the Post Your Homescreen thread, there are a number of people running stock roms but with a different colour notification shade and no "S Finder" or "Quick Connect" icons. I would love to have that. They say to do that, you'll need Xposed and Wanam but as far as I know, Xposed isn't working for stock Lollipop roms at the moment which is what I'm running. Is there a workaround that I'm not aware of?
Also, how can you change the icon theme on the Edge bar? Thanks a lot for your help!
Don't know about the buttons.
But the icons on the edge follow the touchwiz theme. So if you are rooted, you can use one of the apps to change the touchwiz icons, which then changes them on the edge as well.
If you are using, say Nova, this means you can actually have one icon pack for the homescreen, and one for the edge.
I use Galaxy icon themer, which works fine on Lollipop. There are a couple others, but I think they need xposed, which, as ypu said, is a problem on TW lollipop right now.
What model of Note do u have? if have 915G id recommend Alliance ROM can customize just about everything, or if have 915G or 915F then run Emotion Kernel which after you can install Xposed

Thanks for the tip! I wonder how I never came across them. I do have the 915G so the Alliance ROM sounds perfect. I just have a couple of questions though:
1. They didn't mention anything about the possibility to remove the Quick Connect button in the notifications shade, only the S Finder. Do you know if it's possible?
2. Any known bugs and issues? (since it's in BETA)
3. I've been having this problem "Unfortunately, Package Access Helper has stopped" when trying to install big apps from Humble Bundle or Amazon (under 100MB are always fine though). Others seem to have this problem as well. Do you know if this ROM addresses this issue?
4. If I do a backup of my system settings in my current stock ROM (using Titanium), can I restore them after flashing the new one? It wouldn't create clashes or disrupt anything? This is something I always wondered about flashing new roms.
Thanks again for the help!

Heya,
1. in alliance can only remove both Quick connect and SFinder bar
2. Bugs: lockscreen effect don;t use ink, stick to tiles, the R from the clear button on the drop down menu is missing
3. Not had any issues downloading from Amazon, never tried Humble
4. Settings backup not good idea as Alliance ROM has changed settings options and I have found that generally best to start fresh
Apart from that had no issues myself

haha I see. I guess it'll all become more clear once I flash the ROM! Thanks again!
EDIT: Just spent the whole afternoon on this rom. Can't say I'm a fan. For some reason, I can't change the wallpaper. Even when I switch to Nova launcher and try to change it through there, the wallpaper still won't budge. There are also a lot of inconsistencies. For example, pretty much every theme I tried had some kind of problem with font colour being the same as the background in some menus, making it impossible to read. Usually appeared in the Reboot menu but some themes had it in other places too. Took me ages to finally find the right setting to fix that. Still getting the "unfortunately, package access helper has stopped" when downloading from sources outside of the Play Store with large apps (100MB or more, Amazon or Humble). I also encountered a problem with the sound mode toggle in the notifications shade. After switching the phone to vibrate only, I can't switch it back.
In the end, there just seem to be way too many options for what I need, which would've been fine if it weren't for the fact that it's so hard to find the options that I want. I'm gonna try the emotion kernel now
As far as changing the buttons and icons on the edge goes I just thought I'd throw this out there... I'm not sure about changing the look of the included factory edge panels if that's what you're asking, but there is an awesome app on Play that you can buy (which is a must have app for Note Edge owners imho) called "EdgeNavi Pro".. which let's you put practically whatever buttons you want on the edge and you can also "theme it" to however you like (there's also a free version which is limited but the full version is more than worth it especially with this phone). It doesn't have included "themes" so to speak but you can pick the color of the edge, change the icons of the buttons, pick the transparency, and so on. Anyway just thought I'd mention it because imo it's worth its weight in gold and it actually makes the edge worthwhile and useful finally. Hope it helps and here's a couple of pics just to give you an idea..

HTC Boom Sound Notification on Status Bar

Is there a way to shut off HTC Boom sound notification on status bar? It is quite annoying to see it on status bar 100 times a day. Sometimes it just blinks for no reason.
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
It only Shows when something is playing.
So some Kind of App is responsible.
AFAIK you can't get rid of it now without root.
I wonder if you can use the disable notification feature built in to marshmallow if you can work out which app it is?
Might just be the settings app.
I don't have mine yet to try it out, but on my current Z3+ I can disable notifications generated by the main settings app.
I've read about this and it'll probably annoy me. I like a tidy status bar. The little keyboard option selector on my G4 that pops up when I'm using my keyboard annoys me, too.

you can disable keyboard selector
On HTC 10?
I'm fairly certain the only way to get rid of it on G4 is to delete/disable all keyboards except one. I use SwiftKey and cannot disable LG Keyboard so I'm stuck with it on this device.

Don't you've something like this:
Settings -> Language & Input -> Selector Icon (ON/OFF)
Did you try long pressing the notification choosing settings and unticking notifications?
I do not have the Selector Icon setting and there is no option to untick it in settings. I have an AT&T version, if that matters.
The Boomsound icon will appear if ANY app is running that autoplays video/audio, including Blinkfeed; News Republic; Facebook, etc. The best way to prevent it from appearing under such circumstances, is to unselect autoplay video in every app.
The reason it's popping up randomly is because of silent videos, like ads on mute, facebook videos on mute, etc.
As for disabling the notification, you might be able to accomplish that with sense toolbox (xposed) but you'd need root.
Ads on mute such as in Instagram causes the notification. It is just not necessary. Hopefully there is a "fix".

You can actually activate control over the existing toggles for the quicksettings; however, you will not have access to more toggles. Just open the quicksettings, then press and hold on the Settings button until it asks you to activate SystemUI Tuner. For more toggles you'll have to install a custom ROM (e.g., Viper10, LeeDroid, etc.).
Perhaps a custom rom like Leedroid or Viper can help
I've had the phone for a month now and it just started doing this yesterday. I've always had blinkfeed going and it never did it before. I don't have FB or instagram on the phone. I've cleared all recent apps and it still does it, all night long too. It does it every time I turn the phone on from sleep. It's really annoying, anyone figure out why yet?
OK so I noticed that it seems to only do it when " location services" is on

Guide about Honor magic

First of all I don't own a magic device however I use the magic firmware on my Honor 8 so I can't cover up all info about magic usage but most of them.
So Q/A
I can't install third party launchers, why?
Because huawei blocked this on this firmware. To install third party launchers you'll need root.
So I got a launcher installed. But I can't see any widgets?
Open /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml and find there will be a # before it which disables the feature. Just remove it and reboot.
Why doesn't notifications work?
By default third party apps gets disabled notifications (idk why) go to notifications and enable them for your new installed apps.
I can't see nfc option?
This is due to being disabled in earlier builds. However B536.1 evaluation versions brings nfc settings.
Some options are still in Chinese why?
They have informed you that the English language is still in beta (unfinished) this we might be able to fix with overlays.
More will come.

What I can tell for now no I haven't seen any indication of it update wise . And since it's a test device rather then a official retail device it is likely they only are going to fix bugs etc. However I can't tell to a 100% but as its a half year since the device is released I doubt nougat is coming in near feature (if at all) there's no info as far as I can see (though I can't read or search in Chinese)

Honor magic usage
Hi There,
Magic phone is indeed magic like, feels really great and looks beautiful, very smooth feel in hand.
Needed few tips and tricks to make more use of it.
Are these possible without root, if rooted office email app will be blocked
1) How to install launcher as system app, Please pls guide. I'm dying to install Neon, Zero.
2) How to install Ultra battery mode? - it is present in Honor 6 and it's awesome!
3) Is it possible to reduce resolution - Screen power saving - like Honor 6, saves battery during night and driving
4) Possible to change keyboard during typing? Popups doesn't show in notification shade, it's painful to go to settings n change every time
TIA.
Tnx,
Shreyas

1. Without root is not possible to install any 3rd party launcher except google launcher.
2. Do you mean the ultrabattery launcher which comes with huawei? If so it could be possible.
3. Resolution i doubt without root, and no idea about that feature.
4. We'll if you don't use navigation bar no, if you do it might work. Can't tell since I don't use that firmware atm but I never saw any fast switch for keyboard

Hi,
I can't figure out how to remove the carrier name from the notification bar on the magic. There seems not to be any option in settings.
Any tips? Phone is rooted.
Thanks,

I think you can edit it somewhere in a xml
Or in a prop file
Say me can you help me with oeminfo?
Or are you using the magicdevice?
Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk
Yes I am using a magic for the moment.
I've been trying to find it in the props and xmls, but I didn't find "carrier" or "operator" with a grep. It might be called something else.
Google Launcher doesn’ Work. After the installation, when I try to open it, appear an error message who advise I need to change launcher in Settings-Home but in Settings there isn’t “home”
