[Q] Notfications - Screen turns on

Hi,
I'm mainly following the
[ROM][M7UL][JB][4.2.2] CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies
thread, as I'm currently running the latest CM 10.1 nightly. The LED on the HTC one is very limited and only has two colors (red and green) as per HTC website. So I was wondering if there's the possibility for a different kind of notification? Examples could be:
- Screen turns on and shows a message about the app that caused a notification.
- Screen turns on in a rhythm to only display the status bar and the symbols of the notifications.
- The buttons (back and home button) blink.
I tried to search if a similar discussion has already taken place, but the search didn't work and I gave up after manually looking through 5 or so pages of open threads.
thanks,
aspast.

Are there no possibilities for this?
If a notification pops up while the screen is locked and the whole screen remains black except for the little notification icon or the whole notification bar. This could be an optional notification feature for CM or similar.

There are lockscreen alternatives in the play store that allow this, Holo Locker for one. That allows the screen to turn on and show banners, similar to iOS but I know the stock Android lockscreen doesn't show anything other than in the status bar ... Even more frustrating is the fact I have to unlock my device to answer a call. There are so many good features in Android but the way notifications are handled is terrible IMO.

there already are some kernels that have the back and the home buttons flash glow when a notification comes up.

[Q] CM11-20141022-UNOFFICIAL-w7-LG-D415 config

I just installed cm-11-20141022-UNOFFICIAL-w7-LG-D415 and would like to customize two things on my phone.
1. I would like to close the messenger so that when I unlock the screen, it isn't the first thing I see. I like to open my messages when I feel it's time to open them and not have to deal with them until I'm ready for them.
2. I would like to kill Yahoo Weather. I don't want it running every time I reboot my phone. If I want weather info, I can use my browser to get the info.
As a first time user of CM; I'm very impressed. With a little more TLC on my phone; I'm sure I'll be a very happy camper because of it.
Thanks to all of you who put more than a few tons of effort into this,
Jim

It may be that you're not swiping straight across the screen. There are 5 targets on your lock screen, and it just so happens that the messenger app target is just above the home screen target. I've attached a screen shot of my lock screen targets as an example. If you press and hold your unlock icon, the targets will display. Just swipe to the target you wish to open. How fast or slow you swipe doesn't matter as long as you stay in contact with the screen, you're golden!
You can disable the Yahoo weather info on your lock screen with the following steps:
- Open SETTINGS in app drawer
- Select LOCK SCREEN
- select CLOCK SETTINGS
- select DISPLAY WEATHER
- select button to turn off
- Exit using the BACK ICON located on top left of screen. Don't use the back key or your change may not be saved. I have attached screen shots for reference.
Enjoy! The devs on this phone are extremely helpful!

I tried your steps for Yahoo weather and didn't see a CLOCKS SETTINGS in LOCK SCREEN. No problem because just disabling the clock app fixed the problem.
The "Hold and Swipe" is a nice feature. I wonder if it can be customized.
Is there an easy way to turn the speaker phone on?
Thanks,
Jim

jran0880's steps, #3 "CLOCK SETTINGS" should be "Clock widget". There you'll find 3 entries, "Clock and alarm", "Weather panel", and "Calendar events". Select either on of those to manage it's settings.
Also, jran0880 is correct. The messaging app does NOT automatically show when unlocking the lock screen.

The targets can be customized. In your lock sceen settings, there's the option to Slider Shortcuts. Choose that and swipe to the one you wish to change. Tap the icon to change it and select the app name to change the app. If the app you want is not listed, press "apps" at the top of that list to show all your apps.
The speaker phone is located on lower left of your in call screen. 2nd icon from the left.

I did a reset on the Lock Screen and that made things just "peachy keen".
As for the weather and lock screen, etc.; there's no Clock Widget when I open Settings, Lock Screen. If this helps, I installed the Pico-GApps. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Notifications on lock screen?

Purchased a very lovely P9 on Friday, and have a quick question about the lock screen.
On my Z3 (and other droids), you could swipe down from the top of the lock screen to see your notifications, once you had cleared them from the lockscreen.
I cant seem to find an option to do this on my P9. Is this disabled in the Emui software, or is there a way to enable it i have missed?
(I must admit, I didn't know to swipe UP on the lock screen to get the quick settings to appear until about an hour ago!)

I'm also missing this option. It is really useful and should be supported. Maybe some other lock screen app has it? I'm also missing how to dismiss notification from lock screen. I can only open notification but no to dismiss it. Any idea?

Always on display for notification?

Hello,
I know the pixel 5 has no notification led, but I read is supposed to have Always on display (ambient display?) to show notification when the screen is turned off.
Right know, I see no indicator at all for any kind of notification.
Do I need to activate it anywhere? I can't find anything about ambient display or always on display in the settings. Do I need external software like AOE or such?
Cheers

There is no such thing sadly. I use "allways on amoled" to turn the screen on if some notification comes in. Its free and easy to use

That sucks.
Can't believe this is still a thing in 2020.
btw I'll try to configure AOE and see what happens. :/

Er, the AOD shows notification icons for me... Do you have notifications on lock screen turned off, maybe?

No, "show notification on lock screen: show all the contents from notifications" (is translated, may be different)
What do you see exactly?
static/blinking icons on the black screen when the phone is turned off?
Is there a video showing this?

I see a large-ish digital clock, then on the next line the day/date, a weather icon and the current temperature, then on the next line (currently) three notification icons - Facebook, Gmail, and another random app. All centered on the black screen, all in white apart from the weather icon.

Same for me. I can see if there are notifications on the AOD

The Autor asked for a way to only turn the screen on if a notification comes in, not allways. And the Stock System doesnt has such an Option, you need to use a third Party App for this.

This is true, but actually my system AOD wasn't even working properly until I rebooted the phone.
After that, I saw the clock with wheater info on the lockscreen and yes, it has the notification icons too.
Then with the premium version of AOE I kind of achieved what I was asking for. So I disabled the clock and now when I got a notification, it blinks around the punch hole with different colours based on the app.

I just use the built in "Wake screen for notifications" setting. It turns the screen on when new notifications are received. Is that similar to what you're looking for?
Just make sure to have ambient display option "always show time and info" switched off.

Yes but it last only a few seconds. Then blackscreen (unless you show the clock/info panel).

I think you are looking for - under Settings/Display/Advanced/Lock screen = wake screen for notifications.

And there is this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=host.stjin.cometin

this doesnt help, because when a message arrives, the display only a few seconds is activated. Then it switches off automicaly again.

Question Custom Message in Lock Screen

I think AOD (Always On Display) has something to do with it but it seems that the option to change the custom text on Lock Screen is removed from OP10 Pro. If true, it is pretty stupid. I mean remove the text set during earlier OS versions and remove the option.
Now I have a text there which could be a wrong info (ex-wife and such) but no option to edit/remove it!
Any help please.

I think you are looking for this...
Settings; personalizations; always on display; display settings; display message.
Is that it?

First of all, thanks for replying.
I do not have Personalizations at all, under Settings. "Always-On Display" is found under Settings > Wallpapers and style > AOD. Under this > More Display Settings > Info does show some info that I can add/remove, but can't edit the message that was already set before OOS13
BTW I am on OOS13.0 (Android 13), v NE2211_11_C.20. No root, no magisk, no customization of any type!

Same problem

Made an account just to post this and come out of my lurker hole.
To get Google pay option in the lock screen shortcut section available, I have to open "wallet" from the status bar drop down menu. If you open the wallet app this will not work.
Once wallet is opened from the drop down menu's icon, three dots on top right will have 1 option for lock screen settings. Click that and the first option is to change lock screen message text and the first toggle option is to allow wallet access from lock screen shortcut.
Here you can fix your text and or make that other setting available for use.
These lock screen settings are only accessible through this drop down quick menu that I have found and not the wallet app for some odd reason.
I accidentally set a "test" text to see where it would be placed and then couldn't get back to the setting and spent the next 8 hours trying to find it.
Hope this helps all who are as confused as I was.

Probably try Google Assistant application, by voice searching through it for "lock screen text" . It worked for me on Android 13 (OnePlus phone)

The issue is with the AOD custom text message, not the locksreen one.
