The oneplus's gaming mode has some pretty nifty features, especially how it shows notifications without obscuring the screen (plain white text). It's even more useful/convenient when you're watching an episode or something. I haven't seen any (so called) gaming mode app like it. It can even keep the call screen in the background so you don't have to switch back to the game when you answer the call. I think it is the least talked about feature of the device here at xda or anywhere else for that matter.

I've tried this one. But it can only hide the notification banners and other things which are not required. Call handling is not as great as OP's gaming mode. OP's can even suppress whatsapp call screen to a notification so it doesn't take over the game screen.
Hence, there's nothing quite like it out there.

Hi all
So I'm new to Android and am wondering where the lock screen notifications are located and how are they enabled?

lock screen notifications? they come up in a red circle on the lock screen to show you missed calls/messages
I'm running cm9
No lock screen notis. Get hand cent from the market. It'll turn the screen on with a pop up of the new text.

having moved from the walled in garden called the iphone, i expected that this functionally would be available by default on android (ICS).
can't believe it's not !
and dont forget you are running a version that is aleaked and not official, official releases might have it included it might not
Also, most Android phones have notification lights that flash different colours for different types of notification.
Samsung decided not to implement this... But there's a great app on Google Play, called NoLed, that can display notifications on the screen. Doesn't use much battery if you set it up right either - rarely even registers on the batt stats!
If you are from the iPhone then something else to warn you about is that any text messages > 3 messages long will be converted to MMS.
Handcent is a good alternative texting app that allows you to control whether or not this happens (there's no option in Android's default messaging app.)
Caught me out and cost me for the MMS messages too since they aren't included in my contract.
CM9 Roms are still in development
I'd recommend you go here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/ and make a new post asking for this to be included in a future release.
CyanogenMod is strong because it users suggestions are taken on-board if they get enough support from the rest of the community. make the post, put it here and I'll post in support.
and DONATE. even if its £1/$1.6 they will only get better if you give your support.
NoLed is a brilliant tool for screen notifications, with possibility to monitor not only standard things like SMS and mail, you can also monitor apps, like Wordfeud or anything else

Tried noled, I'm going to refrain from commenting on the grounds that it might incriminate me
I would like to see a mod or app whatever is possible to access ongoing phone call while being in any app, while browsing, home screen etc. without pulling down notification bar or going to dialer. I am looking for something like iphone or viber voip app has or even LG G2. It is like flashing quick access bar which stays on top of any screen no matter where user is. It would be very handy to switch phone call.
Thank You for any responses.. I am sorry for my english(not native)

Ok. I've had my watch since release and like it for the most part.
But who in the hell at Google decided, you can have notifications, but not use the time. Or use the watch to tell time, by turning notifications off (basically making wearing it pointless.)
Why doesn't Google allow notifications to pop up when received, but then you can Swipe them down to hide them (like in muted mode).
There are some notifications I want to keep, but then your freaking watch is useless to tell time with. (unless you turn off all future notifications)
I was really thinking about buying a moto 360 when it was released too. But knowing now my only 2 options are to turn off the smart part of the watch. Or not be able to tell time after 3pm. Makes it pointless.
You could use a digital watch?

I'm pretty sure that you can do this as soon as the watch api is released. Right now there simply is no way to do this.

Which kind of defeats the purpose of having a watch you can customize.
I'm sure the people buying a moto 360 will be thrilled to learn they bought an analog style watch to only be able to show digital time on it.

I hope your correct and Google didn't give LG or Samsung the api yet either since default faces are the same. I wouldn't be as concerned if it was only user made faces that couldn't hide it.

Why not just set it so notifications are hidden in dimmed mode? So when you glance at the watch you can see the entire watch face. If you need to see the previous notifications, just activate the display and swipe up.
My notifications on my LG G are semi-transparent so I can see a full-screen analog watch-face even in non-dimmed mode. Although I always use a digital watchface which shows in top left corner, for quicker glancing... Is this problem specific to Samsung or is there something I'm missing?

On Gear Live the notifications are NOT semi-transparent, so this may actually be a samsung specific problem... Hopefully an update can "fix" this.

That's still a work around over what should be a setting. Just think it would be common sense to Swipe down to hide notifications on active screen until you Swipe up to see them.

I'm using a g watch. And maybe mine is flaky. But I can not see though the notifications on active screen. . I can use a digital clock and get around it. Just like analog a lot better.
What are some of the delightful things you found about this phone but you might not have expected when you bought it?
I like that Double-clicking on the volume key will take a picture regardless of whether the camera app is open or not. A "blind" shot without any viewfinder will take some practice, but it's a cool feature once you get the aim right.
and of course the gorgeous screen and killer camera are among the best out now.

Agreed on all your points.
The screen is very bright. The auto brightness at night works very well going from a lit room to a dark room. I read a lot of ebooks on my phone and my N7. Reading on the G4 so far has been great even with tiny font.
The overall build feel other then the slots for SIM/MicroSD feels superior to my Galaxy S4.
Phone call audio quality on speaker phone yesterday during my first call was incredible talking to my wife on her LG G3.
The messaging app is somewhat themeable which is a plus over the AOSP sms app which is too bloody bright white.
I find the battery to be holding up pretty well. Smart Settings and Smart Cleaning are both pleasant surprises I need to explore in depth.
I dislike the headphone jack on the bottom, out of box with my T-mo sim it did not connect to the LTE APN (fast.t-mobile.com) I had to enter it.
Ringtone ID
G4 has the ability to customize different ringtones for different callers, so you know who's ringing without having to check your phone.
I know, custom ringtones have been around for years, but the G4 takes things a little further by automatically generating a unique tone for each user, based on their phone number

The ability to check the clock by simply dragging down the notification shade with the screen off is probably one of the coolest things.

Its real really full screen as far as I can tell
The very top of my screen is the Twitter bar. The punch hole is centered on that but obviously the screen cap won't capture it so I drew it.

You could also use Monument Browser which has had the same feature for a while, has a desktop application for windows and has a lot of features that are difficult to find. However it's a nice step for the Samsung Browser
most of the browser will make a black broder where the punchole/notch ist, so this is nice
This is an irregular practice, yet it makes the telephone simpler to deal with, while keeping that Infinity show looking sharp.

This doesn't work with all apps. If the app has the capability the OS won't Force the status bar, otherwise the apps will continue to performance like they have before. Most apps don't support a full immersive mode because in previous versions of Android it was built into the OS and apps didn't have to support it.
Edit: I should rephrase that because I'm not taking into account the knotch area that didn't exist when immersive mode hit android. It seems immersive mode ignores that.

This is what i mean... The statusbar becomes a black border and the screeb behaves like before so no more screen area to use
Samsung browser beta just became my default browser again. Wish edge would implement this. I was pissed when they removed it so now I'm a happy camper that they've returned the feature.
