I know, I've seen this question in every forum, I googled it thousands of times, but I never found a successful answer, so here I am asking it in the best place I could.
SMS, Gmail, Telegram and other apps (like games) notifications always interrupt music from every player app in the playstore, this is even more annoying when you are listening to FM Radio, where it takes a few seconds to re-tune. Most of them don't have any "focus" settings, and if they have they don't work like they should. Contrary Whatsapp notifications DO NEVER interrupt music or decrease volume, that's the behavior I want for every notification.
I tested it on: Stock 2.3.6, 4.1.2, HarshJelly 4.1.2, CMx 4.1.2, CM11 4.4 (by tC).
The workarounds suggest to put the phone in silence or vibrate mode, that isn't what I want, clearly.
So, does anybody know how to help me to be a happier person?
Thanks!

There is an xposed module which does exactly what you need..
I just can't remember it's name.
Search the modules and you will definitely find it..

I think this is the module the previous poster was referring to:

The problem
Hi, I've been experiencing significant interface stuttering whenever an application has been granted accessibility permissions.
Video of the problem
Here is a video demonstrating the issue, read below for technical information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFVKCx5zVmQ
Facts about the problem
Ok so here's what I know so far:
It doesn't matter which service you grant access to, it will lag the same. I've tried LMT, Swipe Navigation, LastPass, TalkBack, and a few more I can't even remember at the moment.
It doesn't matter what ROM or Kernel you are on. I've tried Euphoria with LK and Hydra, rooted stock with stock kernel and LK, and Benzo with whatever the default Benzo kernel is. Doesn't make a single difference.
It does not only affect Relay for Reddit comment collapsing. It also affect Google Newsstand's mini/big card transition, news source transitions, Google Now transitions, basically anywhere there is an animation in the OS I can notice the stuttering.
Anyone else experience this? Any ideas? It is driving me crazy.
I'm not experiencing that
I've used custom roms/kernels almost all of them in the development forum lol
I wonder if maybe it's a particular accessibility itself? I feel like since its needing to be authorized in accessibility that it might be conflicting with something else, who knows?
People usually try booting the phone into safe mode and seeing if maybes its a third party app?
Thats my 2 cents! Hopefully it helps
It has nothing to do with a specific accesibility from what I can feel, stuttering occurs regardless of the app.
I have full wiped several times to test and can't find a solution.
Does anyone else experience this or have any ideas?
Can anybody duplicate this?
Should I RMA?

I've done this when using LK/Hydra, but I am not running stock kernel. None of the adjustments made any noticeable difference unfortunately
I really hate to bump this but the video only has 16 views and I'd love someone else to confirm or deny the same behavior when granting an app accessibility permissions.
If this is common behavior I won't RMA, but if no one else can recreate this I'm going to.
Oh, another thing I noticed: you don't have to test it in an app like Relay for Reddit, you can also do it in the Chrome browser on a site that has a lot of information. What I've noticed is that, when accessibility is granted to any app, visiting XDA forums becomes almost unusable. It takes FOREVER to scroll and when I can scroll it is extremely choppy. Disable the accessibility permission? Completely solves the problem.
You are NOT crazy. I have been searching, seeing if anyone else had this problem. I am using a completely stock Nexus 6 (not rooted), and because of the screen size I have been tinkering with apps to help with one handed use (like pie controls, handy soft keys, etc). They also require accessibility to be enabled. Whenever I install them, I notice (about once every 6-7 times) that when I open my app drawer on Nova launcher, it will half freeze, half stutter. Most of the time it's fine, but once every few times it happens. I haven't paid too much higher attention to whether jt causes stuttering in other apps, but it drives me nuts and so I uninstall the app and go back to stretching my thumb to use the stock nav keys. Wish this would get fixed. Kind of unacceptable for a Nexus - that kind of stuttering is why I don't like using Samsung devices.
Here is the Swipe Navigation developer saying it is definitely a thing in Lollipop with accessibility settings. (screenshot from Play Store comments on Swipe Navigation app). I wish someone could figure this out - I guess we have to wait for Google to do that?
I am using PieControl Pro and I do believe it makes the animations in the Play story stutter when I open a page and use the back button to go back to the app overview. The Play store was never completely smooth no matter what, but when I disable accessibility for PieControl Pro, it becomes a little better. So yeah, accessibility does seem to affect UI performance. I'm on stock Android 5.1 with Franco Kernel.

Thank you! I was losing my mind tryingbto figure this out so I opened a support ticket with Google play store and the person who handled my case was able to reproduce it and has made a note of it (whether this means there's an official bug report or not I don't know). He also said this issue cannot be used to RMA, since it wouldn't do anything anyway.
Unless someone can confirm that they DO NOT have this issue.
Im using swipe navigation and I'm noticing stutter as well. Wonder why this happens. Took me a while to figure it out.
Would you mind pointing me to the Google page where you reported this? I would like to star it as well, and follow their updates.
As a follow up, today I decided to tinker around and install pie again. Since the Nova app drawer animation is what I always notice stuttering first, I decided to just turn Nova animations off. Then, I went into Android settings, developer options, and reduced the three animation settings to 0.5x. I may just be seeing what I want to see, but the UI hasn't seemed to stutter with Pie enabled in accessibility (yet). Going to try this for a day or two.
I've gotten the same issues with Lastpass.
Lastpass even states on their site that it's a lollipop issue.

Sorry if this counts as bringing up an old thread, although it's not THAT old
Anyway, I've come here just to corroborate all your findings and confirm that I am also experiencing this ugly bug. A few days ago I installed Greenify which, among other things, asked to enable Accessibility features for it. Thinking nothing of it I did as requested. Next day I start noticing some UI lagginess and choppiness, which was especially noticeable to me in Relay for Reddit since I use it a lot (too much for my own good in fact) and I distinctly remember it had very smooth scrolling between comments just a few days ago. In the mean time, I completely forget I've granted Greenify accessibility control so I went on a mission trying to fix this inexplainable, sudden UI choppiness, by trying to flash a different kernel, trying different governors, dirty flashing my ROM, trying all the other tweaks, and finally doing a factory reset and flashing the stock ROM all over again (luckly I did make a nandroid). Nothing helped. I was at my wits end when I tried searching the app's subreddit for anyone experiencing the same issue and found a comments saying accessibility features were to blame. I felt stupid for not researching it before. However, this bug is very insidious as it just creeps up on you, with no reason. I also don't know how can accessibility features affect UI smoothness this way.
Yes, hopefully will be fixed in M maybe? I haven't checked around to see if those who have installed M preview have checked to see if the bug has been fixed there. Fingers crossed.....
Not fixed in M. Everyone should go star the issue so it gets fixed!

Still isnt fixed ) But my lag rather appears when tapping on any app icon, then it highlights, then go lag, then opening animation starts.
Post this over on reddit and see if you can bring a bit more attention to the issue.
Am i facing these issues ?
--Unable to remove the google search bar. Any idea how to remove it ?
Update- checked with nokia support, cannot remove the bar.
--Increasing volume using side key increases the media voliume and not the ring volume, unlike earlier. Very confusing.
Media volume instead of ringtone volume seems pie feature ? also on pixel 3.
Hate it too...
Pie fixed a bug: automatic bt connecting when phone bt on. Now it seems to work
Battery still great
Missing feature is pie navbar, mostly the recent scrolling feature :/ was great for Multitasking

Pie navbar is under system, gestures, swipe up on home button.
Why would one want call log in app drawer...
Unfortunately mine has been rebooting itself twice after I installed the Pie update last week.
Mine too i think. Sometimes i have to enter pin to unlock
Ok Google is not working for me.
- ok Google doesn't work
- navbar gets cut off and becomes too small to use
- phone (scrolling, typing, etc) lags randomly without any apps open. Only restart fixes it.
- sometimes when taking pictures there's a pop-up saying "saving image" but the picture won't get saved and I can't access my gallery
- Bluetooth range and connectivity is terrible and makes Bluetooth Headsets unusable with phone in pocket
- random restarts while/after charging
Even in the safe mode the phone laggs like hell.
Feels like the official support team has given up
Hi
Mine works very well. Except the launcher issues i do not have any issue.
I have changed the launcher to apex.
No issue with bluetooth, using it daily paired with a ink'd 2 wirelles headset
Using Gcam, so no issue with saving pictures
No lag
No unwanted restarts random or not.
Multitasking is great
Ok google does have aome issues, is not working as it should, sommetimes it detects "ok google" sommetimes not. Also it is not understanding very well what i say to it. I think it is microphone quality issue, it would explain all the problems regarding the "okay google" feature.
P.s. : i try to keep to a minimum of installed apps that uses background tasks or that use push services.
What Gcam apk you using for pie?

See attached picture. It is a old release from Fu24. I'm sure that newer versions are available, but since i do not have issues with this one i see no reason to update right now.

Try intalling the Nova launcher (or some other) and you'll be able to remove the search bar. It worked for me. [emoji4]
Hello everyone, my first post here.
I got the phone just over a week ago and the notifications are really bugging me.
1. The color palette for media notifications is sometimes just really wacky. It is light text on a white background or dark text on a dark background, depending upon the system theme.
https://imgur.com/a/8dmP7xR
Please note that it is not always like this but when it decides to act up, no app is spared. Youtube, music apps, all of them are subjected to the same fate.
2. I am receiving a lot less notifications than I usually do! I don't remember seeing a single email notification since I've switched to this phone. And it is not just Gmail, I haven't seen any notification from apps like Splitwise, a residential management app called MyGate, etc.
I'd really appreciate any kind of help and potential resolution to these issues.

Thanks bro!
Is the first issue just for me or are you facing it too on your phone? You could probably reproduce it with background play on Youtube, though you might have to go through a few videos to see it.

I assume you are talking about the social media app notifications. I used to get the Facebook white background notification on the previous system update which I disliked a lot. But currently on the latest CN rom update it seems that issue has been resolved and other apps notifications are within expectations with dark background on the dark theme.

No, I do not use any social media apart from Whatsapp on my phone. My issue is with app that have media playback buttons in the notification bar, such as Youtube (Background play), music, etc. I am running the stock update (1st October Security Patch) and this is the issue I'm facing: https://imgur.com/a/8dmP7xR
It seems to be cycling randomly through colors without checking if that text color is compatible with the background, as I saw with these videos: https://imgur.com/a/wCQPgTS. What I don't know if this is being done at the system level or by a theme (though I'm not using any at the moment) or even just the app.
I don't know if this is relevant, but I do not remember having this issue before that security patch.

I see, in regards of music I use Google Play Music which I have no issues with. In regards of YouTube I stopped using it long time ago I am using YouTube Vanced instead, YouTube sucks in comparison. Also Vanced doesn't have the issue you have mentioned.
I have the same problem as yours, i have that issue for Soundcloud, Spotify, Facebook... and more strange when i use my finger to pull up slowly, then they return to normal until i stop moving the finger. That issue has not occurred only in notification in main home page, but also appeared during sleep and wake up by new notification. I think it's related to new update in 1610. :'( Consider to back to 1608 but Asus said impossible to downgrade. Is that true?
---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------
Ah, after getting that issue, i've changed the current theme to another theme, the problem has gone. But it will appear very soon. Dont know why.
It is frustrating me more and more by the day. This is the same song, paused twice within a couple seconds:
https://imgur.com/HfzzqKe
The dark text just stays on, even though the color of the background changes.
About the update, yes I too think it was brought about by the latest update. This is an easily noticeable issue and I would have remembered it if I saw it during my initial days of using the phone. I only recall facing this problem after I did an update, which was about a week after I started using the phone.
PS: Please update this thread or message me if you find any more details regarding this issue.

I just noticed what you mean on YouTube Vanced. Anyway I don't think it's a big issue and hopefully it would be resolved in a future update. But my issue is with not seeing Google play Music app notification on the lock screen. There are some apps that behave that way too even though the show notification for those apps are on.
Hi everyone
I am using rooted stock rom Android 12 ui 4.0 on my samsung galaxy s10 5g. The problem i am facing right now is that i am not getting the notifications from the apps like the promotionals offers, order updates etc which used to come on android 11 on a notification bar. Notifications are running in a background in real time under the app but i am not being notified. I tried all the setting for the notifications, battery optimization, sleeping apps, dnd etc. Everything seems to be fine but still not getting any solution.
Can anyone please suggest me something? Any magisk module or anything which can make them work? Thank you
