Just got my Note 7 and noticed I couldn't find good lock in the app store. I ended up having to sideload the apk. If any of you are interested, here you go: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...lease/good-lock-24-0-11-android-apk-download/
One more thing, the iris scanner does not work with good lock.
there might be other hidden issues.
on the note 4 the July version randomly causes the side panel to pop up, and the June version occasionally(like once or twice a month) swaps the lockscreen and notification area so the notification area and bar stop working and get the lockscreen wallpaper.(easy fix though, reboot or use "findmobile" to "remotely" unlock)

I just want to share my recent issue with my Sense lock screen not working properly. To disable the lock screen, you normally would need to swipe up, and the same goes for the dock shortcuts. For some reason, my lock screen suddenly stopped working that way. Just by clicking anywhere on the screen, it will disable the lock screen without having to swipe up. Any Sense lock screen I chose had the same problem. This was really annoying me as my concern about accidental dial or text begins to grow. I tried to disable and uninstall different apps that I have recently installed. Unfortunately, I've been installing plenty of apps and didn't realize that the lock screen got messed up. After so many uninstall or disable of apps, I found out that the NotifierPro app was the culprit. It didn't play nice with the Sense lock screen. I thought if somebody had the same issue, might be good to check if you have NotifierPro installed or any app that will display notification while your phone is locked, that might be causing the problem with your lock screen.
Thanks so much for figuring this out. I've been wondering why my lockscreen stopped working all of a sudden. It was because I had installed light flow.
Any notification app that needs accessibility service turned on will affect the Sense lock screen. I'm really disappointed because there's plenty of notification apps I like to use such as notifier pro and the floating notification that's available here on XDA. I really hope there's a fix for this issue.

ahhh thank you for figuring this out. I was wondering for awhile what it was and didn't remember that I had recently installed notification history (uninstalled some keyboards and other random apps though). It was fixed for a little bit after a software update, but came back. Makes sense now that it probably wasn't until I received my first notification again that it stopped working...
Uninstalled it and voila...back to normal!
Hi everyone,
I came across this new app showcased by YouTuber, Mrwhosetheboss in his recent video called Power Shade and oh boy has it revamped my whole notification shade!

I figured you guys would love it too and decided to share.
Link to App: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/treydev-inc/
I don't know why it's not on the Play Store, I emailed the developer complimenting and asking why it's not on the Play Store, will post back here when I get a response.
I came across this Google Sans font in the app itself and it looks amazing on my notification shade, would anyone know how to get the Google Sans font for my whole device?
Thanks a ton in advance!
Power Shade is truly AMAZING app for Android (No Root Needed)

Powershade is Amazing! Funny how you got Android Sans also. We think alike. I emailed the dev also as it was in the Play Store and has only just recently been removed..no response though. The issue is however that a lot of the quick setting toggles you will notice dont work or take you straight to settings, eg Hotspot and the accessory permission will revert from time to time. Apart from that it gives the mate 20 pro a beautiful refresh from that horrid emui
Is it normal that i have both the power shade notification shade and the standard emui? depends on where i slide down from
That’s usually an indication to me that the accessibility service has been disabled. It frequently disables for some reason, I sorta fixed that by turning offf all the battery optimisation etc for the app. Both ways through battery settings and special app permissions OTE=TeeKay35;78482099]Is it normal that i have both the power shade notification shade and the standard emui? depends on where i slide down from[/QUOTE]
I just found it on the play store again
Once I give the app Accessibility permissions, I get an "1" as in an "unread notification" permanently stuck in my status bar. If I revoke the permission the notification goes away, but the app doesn't work any longer.
Does anyone know how to make that "1" go away ?
I tried this app but ended up uninstalling it. It's an interesting idea but I noticed that it negatively impacted the performance of my phone. Scrolling within several apps (including Google Play) was less smooth when this app was running as an accessibility service and returned to normal after this app was no longer running.
I also didn't like that it created an overlay not just over the notification shade but also over the system tray. I think the default Huawei system tray with dark theme enabled looks way better than the one this app creates.
I use the 4 button navigation tray option (the 4th button pulls down notifications as an alternative to swiping from the top of the screen) + the built in option to hide the display notch.
Using these options the notification pull down was smooth from the top of the screen but when using the navigation button instead there was a flash of white on either side of the notch every time notifications were pulled down.
Problem with this app was i started getting poor battery life out of my phone since the installation of this app. Avoid it
I have no battery problems with this app.
my phone it´s normal since i installed this app.
When making an app a device administrator there is often a performance hit or other problems like battery drain. I definitely noticed a performance hit while running this app but the results might be better for some people than I had. As a rule of thumb you want to give as few apps as possible device administrator priveledges.
Installed it, give all permission, untick from 'Launch' in Battery settings, all works flawlessly. No battery drop because of using it, no performance drop & power shade all the time when i slide down (no more emui stock notification). This is by far the most theme changing using the restricted Emui 9. Good!
Any trouble with it causing problems with screenshot features, mine freezes on knuckle gesture and goes to screen recording from the drop quick panel.

Where is the option for auto brightness?
Hello guys, thanks for sharing power shade with us!
I've got a problem with the toggles, I press on the data one to switch it on but it doesn't switch it on and I have to press and hold to activate it manually.
Anyone experiencing that?
Nice app - I used to use Material Notification Shade back in the day when I was on a Nougat ROM on my S7 Edge, it wasn't compatible with Android O though, but now I can resume using it on Android P
The dev says he's going to try to get it back on the Play Store soon so that the pro features can be unlocked.
It would be great if he can fix the screenshot issues when selecting from the drop down quick panel. It just keeps going to record screen instead, but actually freezes up. I've sent numerous emails highlighting the error.

Just double tap the screen using your knuckle to take screenshot.

I know but that doesn't always work especially when there are screens that if you tap once they open a link like the Google feed cards.

Miui 11 on Redmi note 7 pro started rolling out and the first update has quite impressive & little too bugs . Share your bugs or issues .
random apps and games are crashing few seconds after opening
Screen round edges are overlapping battery and time in the status bar when display size is set to 'xs'. If I set it on 's' the whole UI is too big for me. Is there a work around for this? Thanks.

Go to developer options and change DPI manually..most likely it would be 490 now, change it to 485 or something close.
i'm no more able to activate my 4G
I Got a New Button on Navigation Bar, After Updating to MiUi 11 Manually. That button/Icon Looks Like a Human Standing With Hands Wide Open, in the bottom right corner.. And i am not able to disable or make it go away from there. There is no option anywhere to do so.
My roommate also updated with the same zip file which i gave him but there is no such button in his phone.
I updated from MiUi 10.3.13.0 to 11.0.5.0, via 2GB Zip File Provided In XDA, Redmi Note 7 Pro(Violet) India..

Will appreciate if anyone can help.
Same problem as Nikhil.
Accessibility icon (annoying little man) is in the bottom right of the nav bar. Turning it on/off in 'accessibility menu' has no effect. Tried a reboot with it on, then switched off etc little hot is still there
I updated to miui11 via official OTA from what ever the latest package was on 10.
Any ideas welcome.
I play a game called world of tanka blitz. After miui11 update i can't share my replay on discord or any other social media app as there is only 1 option now : shareme
2nd issue can't turn off notifications sound without making phone
silent
Anyone got a solution for the accessibility icon in the nav bar?
@nikhil_nitro. To remove your accessibility icon from nevigation bar try this :
1. Open settings then Additional Settings
2. Open accessibility, scroll down
3. Choose accessibility menu and turn it off
You are done..

Its already turned Off Brother, but that icon is still present. That's my issue. I tried turning it on & then off. But that icon is not going at all..
... or use Gestures instead!
Hello,
in Oreo I could just tap hold the text and disable the notification, iirc. In Pie I just get the info that notifications from this app can't be disabled (System UI). I tried System UI Tuner as well but it didn't work as well.
Did anybody achieve this already?
@ChazzMatt
Could you please drop some knowledge?
I have Do Not Disturb activated at all times so I don't need to be informed about it.
I stayed on stock rooted Oreo, so have no day to day knowledge of LG Pie quirks. Sorry.
However, on a similar note, I reverted back to older version of some apps (My Data Manager being one) -- where newer versions insisted upon putting an icon up in the notification bar area when they are running. That particular app runs all the time and I have a widget on my pull down bar which tells me my monthly data total at any moment. I know it's running in the background, but I don't want to see an icon all the time up in the area where NOTIFICATIONS go. Keeps making me think I have new mail, a new text, something....
Up until about the time Pie came out, I could manually disable the notification bar "badge". With updated versions of the app I could not. So, I reverted to older version from APK Mirror on mine, my wife's, my mother's phones and UNchecked auto update on Google Play for that app.
There's other apps where I stay on older versions for functionality reasons.
Thank you for your insights!
Seems like I should have stayed on Oreo.
On another note I fiddled around with Automagic and was able to hide notifications for the system app System-UI altogether, but that also hides some other notifications I'd like to keep. But it shows that it should be possible. In SystemUI Tuner you can add custom tweaks if you know the right variables and values. Maybe someone knows where one can find the right values.
The solution that I'm using now is setting a custom sleep duration via System UI Tuner to 9999 and only having to worry every few months about it.
Does anybody know what's the maximum duration?
Hello, is this a bug on the new Android 11. My Verizon Galaxy doesn't show the top notification bar on the home screen anymore. In apps, it shows. For example, right now in the Chrome app I can see the time, my icons, battery. Not when I close the app and I'm sitting on the home screen.
Is this a bug? I read something on a Google Pixel thread on reddit that it's a feature of Android 11, but I want to confirm that. I can't recall this happening all week (or two) since I've gotten Android 11.
Is it possible that you are using a 3rd party launcher and have activated that feature?
I use Nova and I have it to hide status bar.
