Always on display icons - Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers

Hi all,
Yesterday I noticed that my always on display icons have changed from their previously nice loooking grey scale icons into hideous colour ones. The whatsapp icon also used to show a computer icon to indicate I had whatsapp web open and the regular icon if I had an unread message. Now it just shows an ugly green icon regardless.. Has anyone else had this happen and know how I can reverse it? I didn't see any notifications to indicate an update and they're set to not auto install. My MIUI version is 11.0.2.
Cheers

Go settings-notifications-notification bar-pick android.

This doesn't affect the notification icons on the always on display unfortunately.

I fixed it! I installed the apk from the following link that I found from another thread. Apparently it adds more apps icons too!

Hmm, not sure. I just enable the setting to allow installs from unknown sources then did it..

WhatsApp/Telegram/etc. won't show up in notification bar

My wife got a new Fire Phone running FireOS 4.6.6. I rooted it, installed Google Framework and Google Now launcher. At least most seems to be working quiet nice (still some things bug me, like Facebook not working, you can't install Amazon Underground, etc.). Concept of many things is nice - but often not brought to an end..
Now, I am stuck with a problem where I couldn't find an answer (at least not one I can accept, hehe).
When I receive a notification from e.g. Whatsapp or Telegram, it won't show up as a symbol in the notification bar. When I drag down the bar, I see the stuff like "Message received" etc. But it won't show me something when I am looking at my home screen or the lock-screen. Can't you see with just a short look that you've got a new message? Do I always have to pull down the notification bar?
Even system status messages aren't shown. When I connect the phone via USB to PC, a stock android shows me this neat little graphic that the connection is established. With FireOS - nothing
Read this thread here and tried this NotifierPro, Floatify, etc.
But it's not as small, fast and nice as the stock android thing.
The thread there is almost a year old, so has something changed lately? Any way to use the notifcation bar like I used to know?
Or maybe there is a nice Xposed module??
fire os does not support status bar notification's icons

What a pity..
Any way to achieve it with an Xposed module? I think the icons could be done in an overlay or something, or is this no alternative?
For the moment I am using Floatify.. I think it just takes some days to get used to it

Turn off text message preview

On the Moto Z2 play I cannot figure out how to change the notification setting so that when I receive a text I do not get a preview of it in the notification bar. Is there anyway this can be done? I just want a notification I got a text not a preview of the message. Help!

One way to turn it off is to do so in the display part in the Moto app; go into Moto Display, select More Settings (in blue text), then Block apps and choose whichever messaging app you use / are blocking.
Hope this is what you need.
Didn't work
Just tried doing this and it didn't change anything at all.

No more Status Bar?

Hi - I just set up a new S9 (AT&T). I installed my apps and went through some out of the box software updates so its now running 8.0.
Last night I noticed that when on my homescreen my Status Bar is now gone. It comes back if I open an app or go into the Apps drawer, but I cant see it from any page on my homescreen.
I can still swipe down from the top of the screen to get to the settings shortcuts, but I cant see Notifications, Battery, Signal, etc from any homescreen pages.
Its actually making me crazy - was hoping someone might have some thoughts on how to remedy this?
Thanks.
Hi after trying all morning I finally solved this - I found a lot of other posts outside XDA struggling with this issue so just wanted to update in case anyone else is having this problem.
I was using a picture as my wallpaper. For some reason this was making the bar invisible (or somehow the color changes to blend in to the background completely?). I changed to a Samsung stock wallpaper and it was visible again. I then changed back to set my picture as the wallpaper, and now the status bar is still visible...
Whatever - dont know why, but it worked!

how to get more icons in the status bar

I wonder how to get more icons in the status bar. The place is there, but only the left time is shown and the right only this two icons.
(If you're willing to root...) I've installed GravityBox and disabled the clock (or move it to the center, it hides under the notch)... At least I have 3~4 icons (3 icons + the dot if more than 4 notifications are there)
The clock can be hidden without root using systemui tuner. Some other icons can also be hidden (eg. I hide the alarm indicator since I always have an alarm set)
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...roid-9-0-pie-remove-status-bar-icons-0186364/
I probably wrote it wrong,but my problem is that I don't see more than 2 icons on the right.I don't have root.
And this application does not help

Hello Tramin,
Good Day !
Dear Have You Tried To Reduce Screen Resolution Size ? I Mean Go In Developer Options => Smallest Width (Around 448 dp). It Will Reduce Your Screen Resolution Size And You Can Get More Space In Notification Bar.
Greetings...
Thanks,

It can definitely fit more than 2. I can sometimes get 5 if they're narrow or overlap. The traffic arrows are the worst.
@aasiaasi:No change, what's wrong with my phone??

Probably because of the notch, this phone shows less icons by default. Eg. Bluetooth only shows when connected. My previous phone showed more icons by default but it had no notch and ran marshmallow.
To make more icons appear...
Connect a Bluetooth device.
Plug in headphones.
Set an alarm.
Put the phone on silent/vibrate or do not disturb.
Be on 4g while WiFi is available but needs sign in (both WiFi and 4g icons display).
Re enable battery icon.
Run Google maps.
Run a hotspot.
Is that what you mean?
Thanks, it's probably it.But it's not entirely correct,because bluetooth is on all the time and the icon is not visible.

The icon only shows if something is connected to Bluetooth.
Oh,thanks

Hi
I thought xposed is not available for pie?? How did you manage to run GravityBox? Pls help. Thanks

Regular xposed is not available. EdXposed runs on pie. It's a new thing that tries to be compatible with Xposed. Many modules are not compatible. Gravity box is.
I strongly recommend having mm (magisk manager) setup before playing with EdXposed because bootloops are fairly common and mm from twrp let's you turn off EdXposed so you can boot again. Then you can fix the module/setting that caused a problem.

Missing LED - kinda replacement

Hello folks
I am terribly missing notification LED. AOD ( Samsung ) is not for me. I do not want to see clock constantly or upon screentouch.
I found an app which in some way is substitute ( for me )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomer.alwayson&hl=en
App is highly customisable.
It uses AOD technology
You can make clock and the rest invisible so the screen is dark.
When notification arrives and you miss it there a pretty big icon appears on the screen ( size and brightness customisable ) and is moving around.
Maybe you will like it.
The AOD is not only just a "clock" it has more customizable options and you can make it exactly like the app you suggested does. Check your settings.

I did. I want only information about new messages - no clock all the time. I could not find a way to disable clock. ( in original Samsung AOD app )

You do know that you can apply AOD themes from the Galaxy Store, right? You can choose one with a minimal clock or even choose to apply the theme without the clock.

Couldn't find. I do not want: clock, cats, dogs and all that crap. I want only messages notifications. Can you point me ?

One workaround I can suggest is using the inbuilt theme that supports GIF and using a black image instead of a GIF.
However, you will still get a digital clock and battery percentage in addition to the notifications. If I come across a better theme, I will update it here.
There is an app for blinking AOD dot where You can define their position and "fatness"... But i can't remember app name
try AOE
There is NoLED apk LINK to download latest version v6.0.20 (it's a liitle older apk but working like a charm).
I am settled up for a white dot for all notifications and not for coloured icon...
Try it and enjoy!
