[Q] [App Request] Text Response Overlay? (MIUI style?)

Basically I'm looking for an app that works the way MIUI handles receiving a new message. For those who don't know it goes as follows:
Instead of just displaying an icon notification MIUI actually visually shows you the entire message with the text box underneath, tapping the text box makes my keyboard come up allowing me to respond immediately all while still seeing what was happening prior to the text coming in the background. Once i hit send the message goes away and i'm back to whatever i was doing. (even though i never left and could see it the whole time)
Whats so great about this?
I don't have to pull down the notification tab, select the message, wait for it to open, respond, then hit back until hopefully back to where i left off.
Its all done over top of what i was doing seamlessly.
Is there an app like this for when i may want to try something other then MIUI? If not, someone needs to really make this.
EDIT :
great suggestions given and listed below.

had it for a bit, it would display a pop up notification, but when i hit reply it would take me to go sms messaging app and out of what i was doing. Once i was done with sending the message i'd still have to exit out of the convo thread and the messaging app itself to get back to where i was.
Not quite what i'm looking for.

I use this the way you described in the OP. I answer directly in the popup, and hitting "Send" just sends the message, and closes the popup. Unless I've received multiple messages in which case I can answer them all one by one. I can also scroll this popup to read the individual messages. I urge you to try again.

thanks for all the suggestions guys!
although i would like to continue using the standard messaging app and not move to a new one.
Regardless i will update the first post with links to your suggestions

Notification Related Question App Suggestion Request

Hey guys,
I have a question about how to do the following:
Let's say I have WhatsApp installed. When I receive a message notification in WhatsApp, in the notification panel I want it to show as a custom notification from some other app instead of WhatsApp notification. This way I'll know that I received a notification, but if I temporarily handed over my phone to a friend he won't know that it was a WhatsApp notification. I don't care of the notification is clickable or not.
So the task is two fold.
1. Block/clear the notification of the original application.
2. Put a fake notification in the notification panel when 1 happens.
I have tried installing Tasker and AutoNotification, but I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated!!
Thank you so much in advance.

There should be an option to block notifications within the AutoNotification app (no need to create a Tasker profile for it).
As for a "fake" notification, you can use the option "Notify" in Tasker.

If I block the notification using autonotification, tasker's notify task doesnt get triggered and no fake notification shows up, if there is a way to intercept the notification from tasker's then I can fire up two events, one for blocking notification and another for showing a fake notification. Is that possible via tasker?

Not too sure about your method, but maybe try adding a wait?
So, once your real notification shows up, put a wait of maybe 1-2 seconds to allow enough time for AutoNotification to see it. Once it sees and the wait time ends, the task would continue as normal.
This is all in theory as I'm not testing it myself, but I hope it helps nonetheless!

I don't want to add a delay, because it'll show the notification for the delay, right?
But I did figure it out, on how to achieve it.
1. In Tasker, setup the autonotification intercept event to show the fake notification.
2. Block all the notifications from the autonotification app settings.
Below are the two images to show my setup. Now all I need to do is to hide the app from launcher and I'm all set. That'll make it completely stealth!

Yeah it would show the notification for those 1-2 seconds, glad you got your method working though!

Open Beta 20 Got Rid of Google Assistant

Saying OK, Google opens Voice Search and tapping on google assistant icon opens up Google Search.
What I have tried:
Clearing data and cache for both Google App and Google Services App
Going back to previous versions of Google and Google Services Then updating them
and that's about it
Here's some screenshots:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here's a logcat:

Works find here

I have been having this problem for quite a while now. I'm using a rooted stock version with TWRP, Nova launcher. Always get the "can't reach Google at this moment" message.

Like it sucks. I tried literally everything. The beta is fine everywhere else, but the missing google assistant.

I've been having all kinds of issues with Assistant as well. I asked it to "navigate to Michaels craft store" and it just kept asking which Michael from my contacts I wanted to navigate to over and over and over. Kept glitching out till I rebooted and now it only loads the search widget lol.

works here i tried to upload a screen record but wont upload.

Have you guys figured this out at all? I don't understand why no one else is having these issues? It's persisted through all Open Betas thus far. Look at my screenshot. This is the screen I get when I use the assistant shortcut app. It will kind of work if I do say Ok Google but then it just bugs out in all future searches. This is maddening.

Had the problem also in stable. Switched to Beta (clean install) to get rid of it and try out pie, but still the same.

I found out a solution myself
Go to "Phone Settings"
Select "Buttons & Gestures"
Enable toggle for "Quick activate the assistant app"
Go back to home screen and hold the power button for less than a second
This will enable Google Assistant app and you will get the welcome screen
Click "Get started" on the bottom and click the "Agree" button to activate and select the features on next screen
This will solve all the issues. Now you can go back to "Google" app and go to the 2nd tab named "updates"
Don't forget to press the "THANKS" button on this post

Text Messages linking to Calendar

This may not be note 10 specific but I know this didn't occur on my Note 9. I've noticed since last night when I started texted with my note 10 that any text I send with "today" "tonight" "Tomorrow" Upon sending the text message the word becomes a link to create a new calendar item. Thus far I've been unable to find a way to turn this off. Has anyone else noticed this? If so has anyone found a way to stop this behavior?

Try turning this off in your message app settings.

No change unfortunately. Had tried that already and just tried it a second time after your suggestion.

Anyone ever find a solution to this? It's super annoying. Happens with both the Samsung messaging app and the Google messaging app on my S10e.

Thanks.... but was asking about SMS text messages, the subject of this thread.

For me it's under calendar itself.
Go into calendar settings or app settings for calendar and clear it's data and restart the calendar setup.

Yes, i know what's your subject of thread.
However, above info etc,
was my fix to my "problem",
when i had similar issues .
I found that it was my G calendar was recording Sms.... , email etc, everything, that had references to dates, days etc.!
and as my Samsung and Google calendars are linked,
it appeared in both calendars, as events etc.....!
Bottom line,
If my fix /info, does not apply to you or fix issues.... just ignore !
Good luck

I see. Thanks. I can't find any setting in my calendars that is linking to gmail or SMS. And it happens only on the stock Samsung and Google messages apps, not 3rd party SMS apps like Textra or Handcent. So I assume it's something related to the SMS apps...

Question Can't clear persistent notification from Google that says 'Downloading'

I have a notification from Google that says 'Downloading'. When I try to find what specifically is showing it, it says Data Download Notification Channel. I'd prefer to just figure out why it's there and be able to fix the issue, and not just hide the notifications from that one specific thing. Anyone hav any ideas how?

I know this doesn't give you what you want, but I would just chalk it up to a one-off quirk. I would expect rebooting would likely get rid of it, and hopefully, it wouldn't return, at least not regularly.

Rebooting does temporarily get rid of it but it comes back pretty soon after reboot. So I don't think it's a one off unfortunately.
Edit: my mobile data signal just went to like one bar and the notification went away. When I drove into a better signal area it came back.

pixel 6 "Google notifications"
Does anyone know why I'm getting a Google Downloading notification so many times a day, and you can't clear them either, without disabling every notification in settings. It doesn't give any clue as to what's being downloaded. When I tap & hold...

Same here.

I've had this numerous times. Go into Apps and force stop the Google app. It makes it go away permanently. Or at least until next time it happens.

Just use wifi network for few minutes. Google has some updates to do in background. So that it keeps coming.
You can try below 2 other solutions if you like.
1. Turn off data download notification in settings.
2. Update the offline voice.
Open Google app > Top profile > Settings > Voice > offline voice Recognition > Languages > update.
