So I recently installed rooted Lollipop 5.0 BOC4 on my Verizon S5 and I previously had several mods installed but I can't remember them all (definitely had Xposed, Wanam, and a couple one-off zips like tether, one that customized the quick settings/toggles) and I'm still getting my phone setup the way I want it to work. But there are a few things I still haven't been able to find/accomplish yet on this version of Android and I was hoping the forum would be able to help me out.
Even if the answer is "you can't do that yet" or "need to wait for Xposed", please let me know so I can stop wasting my time looking for workarounds/fixes/mods. So here's what I want to be able to do:
Quickly disable/enable the lock screen without having to go into the Settings > Lock Screen. I'd prefer a quick toggle.
Disable pop-up/heads up style notifications (and revert to the old 4.4 style notifications). Specifically for texts. What apps besides Textra allow for these to be disabled?
Have the volume buttons control the sounds/volume only and not the interruptions (similar to CM 12.1 for those that are familiar).
Flashlight mod.
Any other interesting mods that are working on rooted BOC4 that you think may be of interest.
And probably the most important...
Is there any SMS app out currently that allows you to both 1) Disable the heads up style pop-up notifications on Lollipop and ALSO 2) reply/mark read/delete from the notification.
Regarding the last bullet, I've found a few SMS apps that do one or the other but not both. For example, ChompSMS and Textra allow you to disable the heads up style pop-up notification and just gives the small icon in the nav bar, but you can't reply from the notification. And Evolve SMS and QKSMS allows you to reply from notification bar, but not disable the heads up notification.
Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Since I got the Note 3 a week ago, I've spent most of that time trying to find a way to get proper lockscreen notifications. "Proper" in this case means pretty much what LockInfo IV did on jailbroken iPhones (if you're familiar with that):
Each notification chosen by the user is displayed on the lockscreen as a separate entity
Each notification (text or email) can be viewed in its entirety on the lockscreen, if the user chooses that option (such as by tapping to expand each notification)
Notifications are persistent, in that they remain visible on the lockscreen whenever the phone is brought out of sleep mode.
I've tried LockerPro, Nils, Pop-up Notifier, and others and they all fail in one way or another. I'm led to believe that lockscreen notifications are limited by the way that Android populates the notifications panel. The big problem is that if you get more than one email or text, they all get lumped together into a single, useless "You have <x> number of new messages" entry, which means you have to unlock the phone and launch the respective app to see who it's from and what it says.
This completely defeats the purpose of screening notifications on the lockscreen.
I'd appreciate recommendations for any app that will make lockscreen notifications useful. Thanks to designgears, my phone is rooted now, if that makes a difference.
Try dynamic notifications. It mimics the moto x.
Won't show everything though.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried that one and it didn't do it for me, but I'll give it another shot at some point.
For now, I've stopped worrying about lockscreen notifications, since push email is basically broken on the Note 3 anyway. It's like a time machine back to 1995.

Hey - I was looking for the same for my N3....i've been trying Dynamic Notifications on and off for awhile now. At first it works, and then just stops. Maybe give Knock2 +V2..I'm testing it now and so far it seems to work flawlessly for me
Hi,
We all know what Heads Up Notifications are. For those who doesn't, its a notification banner for high priority apps in Android 5.0.
I just observed this while I was enjoying Lollipop on my Nexus 4. I wanted Heads Up style notification for IM apps, since Google removed notification ticker in the latest android build. So I downloaded Heads Up by Artem Chepurnoy (Sorry could not link you in coz I'm a new member). After I installed and setup it, I tried 'Send test notification' and idk how the actual Lollipop Heads Up showed up. [See attachment] You can see in the screenshot the actual Lollipop Heads Up banner is at the top and the Heads Up by Artem Chepurnoy banner is below it. I am not sure how did this happen, but this means the Heads Up exists for other apps also and it needs to be enabled. I have read that, this feature relies on the priority of the application notifications, but still no luck in enabling Heads Up for other apps. If any dev can help?
Thanks.
Go to settings -> sounds¬ification -> app notifications and check if you had your IM app blocked.
To be honest this is the most annoying feature in lollipop. You cant disable the built in heads up. You can only shut off the notification completely. That means if you use third party heads up apps it will give the issues you've encountered already.
With HeadsOff lollipop heads-up notifications can now be disabled!
No root needed.
You can also restore the ticker text in the statusbar!

I've searched everywhere and I'm unable to find an answer to this....
My wife intermittently gets this "mystery" notification icon from time to time which essentially duplicates notifications such as sms, hangouts, emails, instagram, etc...
Does anyone know what this is and how to disable it? I'm not aware of any third party notification handler installed on her S5, so I can only assume it's something standard in stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
*bump*
Anyone?
Sometimes my wife will have that same icon appear more than once up top in the notification bar, and when swiping it down it will reveal more than one duplicate notification. I just want to know if the icon is a "standard" icon for miscellaneous notifications when there is more than one, or if there is something else going on that I need to look into. Again, it is intermittent and happens once or twice a day on average.
More info:
Model: SM-G900W8
OS: stock 4.2.2 (rooted)
Mods: Wanam and several other Xposed modules, Nova Launcher, custom icons, etc...
It's from Greenify

It's genrated by Greenify when auto-hibernation had failed.
I know there is no setting on Oxygen to disable the Quick Pulldown, and its driving me absolutely insane. I am constantly pulling it down because I use my phone one handed a lot, and use my thumb to pull down the notification shade which is on the right side of the screen!
There is a setting in GravityBox that allows you to disable it, but it only works on stock android and CM variants. It does not work on Oxygen. Has anyone found a mod, Xposed module, text file to edit, ANYTHING, that will allow the disabling of this major annoyance?
So happy to see this question, then saw there was no reply
This does my head in also!
Hi,
I have the same issue also my little son uses Quick Pulldown in lock mode to access the guest account and delete the photos and other items.:silly:
It annoyed me too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...t/xposed-oneplus-2-oxygenos-specific-t3242085
Someone posted an xposed mod to disable it. Check out development section

This is probably a stupid question:I'm currently running android 9 rooted and I get a software update notification for One of Corey's UI 2, and seem to to not be able to hide that notification, the solutions I have found myself seem to all be either for older Android versions or normal app notifications. I thought I could disable out in the theme dev options but couldn't find a way.
have you tried disabling this in dev options?
Thank you for the quick response!
but yes I had that disabled even before the notification showed up.
i had the same problem. any solution???
