Remove Amazon Lockscreen Ads for Moto G4 (Nougat)(Easy) - Moto G4 Guides, News, & Discussion

So I recently bought the Moto G4 Amazon Prime Edition(Lock screen Ads and Offers) and had been searching through forums on a way to remove them. Now I know there are plenty of threads on how to remove them but me being not very tech savvy was having a hard time. After the Android 7.0 Nougat update I came across a hidden feature called System UI Tuner. Inside this hidden feature was a setting called Power Notifications. I enabled this feature and tested it out. After a bit of toying with it I discovered you can set app notifications to Level 0 which meant no notifications would be received. I went to the Amazon Offers app in the Notification settings and changed it to block all notifications on the lock screen, when i went to change it to Level 0 I discovered it was stopped from doing so, I could change notifications from level 1 to level 5, but not to level 0. I shut off the screen and powered it back on and whaddya know, all lock screen ads were gone. Here are the steps in detail.
Method #1
1. Pull down the notification shade from the home screen.
2. See the Settings cogwheel at the top right hand corner? Tap and hold on it for around 10 seconds.
3. Once you let go after 10 seconds, you’ll be taken straight to the Settings app with a prompt saying that System UI Tuner has been enabled.
4. You can access the new entry by scrolling all the way down in Settings.
5. Once your in System UI Tuner select the Other option
6. In the Other section select Power notification controls
7. Enable Power notification controls by pressing the little slider on the screen.
8. Now that you have enabled this, go into Settings and then into Notifications
9. Scroll through your list of apps and select Amazon Offers
10. Press the green A to the left of the slider and drag the slider to Level 1
11. Right Below the slider is an option that says "On the lock screen"
12. Press this and select "dont show notifications at all".
You have now removed the ads from the lockscreen of your Moto G4. Hope this method helped you and feel free to leave feedback
Method #2
1. Install Clean Master from the Play Store
2. Open Clean Master and select the 4 squared button at the bottom of the screen that says Tools
3. Under the Useful Shortcuts tab, select Notification Cleaner.
4. Grant the necessary permissions and Enable this feature.
5. Those annoying lock screen ads will now be removed as long as this app is installed.
6. You can go 1 step further and use the same process above and remove notifications from Clean Master.
7. Your phone will now have no ads and no notifications from Clean Master saying you have blocked ads.
Hope this method helped, Feel free to leave feedback

Edit, I worked at the beginning, but after 10 minutes they showed again: s

did you move both the slider and set the lock screen bar to "receive no notifications? Also is your phone updated to Nougat?

Didn't work

Neither method now works. In the first method no button appears to block notifications and lowest setting is a one. In the second "Amazon Offers" app does not appear in list of apps.

Method 1 worked for me. Then I rebooted my phone. Now the ads are back after reboot. I then disabled power notifications and then turned it back on and went through all the steps again and the ads are gone again. I'm waiting to see if this will last until I reboot. I don't reboot my phone very often so this could just have to be done after a reboot.
Edit: well that didn't take long. The ads are back after unlocking my phone a couple times. This is for method 1. I haven't tried method 2. It appears Amazon thought about this possibility.
Edit 2: After using my phone for a while with the power notification settings left active it seems that if any other notification is on the lock screen then the Amazon ads notification does not show since it is a level 1 priority. If there are no notifications, then the Amazon ad shows. So method 1 does work if there are any other notifications showing. It is pretty easy to have a notification showing at all times.

method 2 works for me.
However, I started getting persistent clean master notifications. Used method 1 to get rid of clean master notifications. XD
Edit:
Also it'd be helpful to open settings>apps>show system apps (by clicking on three dots)
Now open amazon offers. Scroll to the bottom, click on modify system settings, disable "Allow modify system settings". This should hopefully stop the app from changing notification priorities.

Neither method work with newest versions.
Method 1: slider is controlled by app

I tried this on my new Moto X4. I was able to set it to 0 but it did not remove the lock screen ads. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you.

I tried this method on my X4 with no luck. However, I was able to set the value to 0 for the Amazon App but not for the Amazon offers as this app is listed as system app. Do you have any suggestions?

yeh look at the second pic on the op. it comes up under the options button(the one on the bottom left side of the phone) when viewing a contact or txt
Sorry, I thought blocking mode was this:
Settings/My Device/Blocking Mode
After tapping the menu item a new screen opens. To interact with the configuration items turn Blocking mode on at the tope of the screen by tapping the ON/OFF switch. Select on, or all of the four items included in the Blocking mode configuration screen, by tapping the check box to the right. They are:
Disable incoming calls – the phone won’t ring or vibrate when someone calls
Disable notifications – keeps the phone from making a notification sounds or vibrating when email arrives or an appointment begins among other things
Disable alarm and timer – keeps the alarm or timer a user previously set from making noise
Disabler LED indicator – stops the LED on the front top left from flashing during notifications

you can block calls and manage it under toggles
So your mod does not really enable blocking mode, now does it?
So glad you flamed me on my original question.

Sometimes, I just want my Aamzfit Pace to stay awake a bit longer, so I make this app.
PaceOn is designed specifically for Amazfit Pace to keep its screen on and unlocked as long as I want. It also works on Amazfit Stratos.
Surely, keeping the screen on affects the device's battery, but for whatever reason you may want it.
For me, it's quite useful when transferring files via wifi, needing to see some app screen details for a period of time or just always showing off that beautiful watchface.
This is the first app of my Pace(X) series (On, Off, Up & Down).
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for any bad things caused by using this app, and blah, blah, blah.
Instruction:
Just sideload the app. Root is not required.
This can be done using ADB.
Here is how.
To uninstall:
adb uninstall com.anox.paceon
Features:
On/Off = PaceOn service keeping the watch awake and unlocked
The service can be automatically turned off on a selectable schedule.
Dim = Allow the screen to dim
Launcher = Launcher Service
Once activated, a small triangle area at the bottom left of the screen becomes a launcher area. The area is only visible on PaceOn screen, but active on any screen.
- Swipe up from the area (on any screen) launches PaceOn app.
- Double tap toggles PaceOn service on/off without opening the app.
- Swipe right to lock the screen.
- Swipe diagonally (roughly 45 degrees upward to the right) to bring up Quick Switch panel
Please see the last attached image for the instruction. The service will automatically turn on after booting, if the option was previously on before the boot.
Lock screen
The idea here is to have a transparent lock screen to protect the screen on from touches or taps. When this lock screen is on, the watch is still fully awake.
- To activate the lock screen, swipe right on Launcher area.
- To unlock, just double tap anywhere on the lock screen.
Return Home option
This is a workaround to the notification issue (raised by a few people). When receiving a new notification, the notification screen won't automatically be dismissed and another notification won't trigger a vibration. This can only be turned on, when both PaceOn & Launcher services are selected.
When this option is selected, it will have an effect only when the lock screen is on. After activating the lock screen, the watch will return to the home screen (from any screen) in every 30 seconds.
Bear in mind "this is supposed to consume more battery power."
Auto On... = Auto On When Charging option (off by default)
When turned on, PaceOn service is automatically activated when the watch is plugged into a power source, and deactivated when unplugging it. This option always keeps the screen fully on (not dim) to get rid of the system charging animation. This is designed to work only if PaceOn service is NOT already on.
How about a Pace as a desk clock
Quick Switch panel
- Swipe roughly 45 degrees upward to the right from Launcher area to bring up Quick Switch panel which contains:
1) Brightness Seekbar
Quickly set the screen brightness to any value from 0 to 255 or to Auto Mode.
2) Bluetooth switch
Now, the Bluetooth can be turned on/off at will.
3) WiFi switch
Yes, the wifi too can be turned on/off at will.
- To dismiss Quick Switch panel, just tap on the brightness number or swipe the panel away to the right.
These switches work independently of the system settings. They can even turn on when Airplane mode is on.
How about a quick glance to check if your bluetooth/wifi is on (just like your phone Status bar)
CXN svc. = Connection service
The Connection service improves the bluetooth/wifi connection visibility. It lets us know when bluetooth/wifi is connected/disconnected with a toast message and vibration (only vibration, when screen off). It also tells us what device/AP the watch is connected to/disconnected from.
The service will automatically turn on after booting, if the option was previously on before the boot.
Now, we always know what the bluetooth/wifi on our watch is up to.
Usage:
To enable PaceOn service (to keep the screen awake and unlocked)
- Open the app
- Tick []On/Off (Optionally, tick []Dim)
- To activate Launcher service, tick []Launcher
- Click OK. PaceOn service will start with a confirmation message.
- The app will then be put into the background.
- Then, do whatever you want. The screen will stay unlocked as long as PaceOn service is active.
While PaceOn service is active, the watch can be forced to sleep by pressing the power button from Home screen. Waking up the watch will also reactivate PaceOn service.
To turn PaceOn service off
If Launcher service is active, just Double tap on Launcher area.
If not, Open the app, de-select []On/Off and click OK. PaceOn service will stop with a confirmation message and the app exits.
To turn Launcher service on/off
- Open the app, toggle []Launcher and click OK. Launcher service will start/stop and the app exits.
Note:
- While the app's UI is in the foreground, the screen stays on.
- The app (any app for that matter) can be killed by Android system if the resources are needed. If killed, the "Keep Screen Unlocked" effect will also be lost.
- The app is free for personal use.

Launcher Service puts a triangle area located at the bottom left of the screen. Once activated, the area becomes visible only on PaceOn screen, but it is active on any screen.
- Swipe up from the area (on any screen) launches PaceOn app.
- Double tap on the area (on any screen) turns PaceOn service on/off without opening the app.
After boot autostart Launcher service added
After installation, open the app once, then Launcher service will start automatically after every boot.

- To unlock, just double tap anywhere on the lock screen.
Return Home option added
This is a workaround to the notification issue (raised by a few people). When receiving a new notification, the notification screen won't automatically be dismissed and another notification won't trigger a vibration. This can only be turned on, when both PaceOn & Launcher services are selected.
When this option is selected, it will have an effect only when the lock screen is on. After activating the lock screen, the watch will return to the home screen (from any screen) in every 30 seconds.
Bear in mind "this is supposed to consume more battery power."
Version 3.4
GUI changed
PaceOn now has many options, but I still want to have only one single screen, without scrolling. So, buttons are used to maximise the space. A button represents a service, while a checkbox represents an option in a service. The bottom part of the screen also has a new design.
Auto On When Charging option added (off by default)
When turned on, PaceOn service is automatically activated when the watch is plugged into a power source, and deactivated when unplugging it. This option always keeps the screen fully on (not dim) to get rid of the system charging animation.
How about a Pace as a desk clock
Version 4.0
Quick Switch panel added
- Swipe roughly 45 degrees upward to the right from Launcher area to bring up Quick Switch panel which contains:
1) Brightness Seekbar
Quickly set the screen brightness to any value from 0 to 255 or to Auto Mode.
2) Bluetooth switch
Now, the bluetooth can be turned on/off at will.
3) WiFi switch
Yes, the wifi too can be turned on/off at will.
- To dismiss Quick Switch panel, just tap on the brightness number or swipe the panel away to the right.
These switches work independently of the system settings. They can even turn on when Airplane mode is on.
How about a quick glance to check if your bluetooth/wifi is on (just like your phone Status bar)

CXN svc. = Connection service
The Connection service improves the bluetooth/wifi connection visibility. It lets us know when bluetooth/wifi is connected/disconnected with a toast message and vibration (only vibration, when screen off). It also tells us what device/AP the watch is connected to/disconnected from.
The option is on by default and also automatically on after every boot.
Now, we always know what the bluetooth/wifi on our watch is up to
Version 5.0
Keep the screen dimmed while PaceOn's lock screen is on.
With Dim option selected, when the PaceOn's lock screen is on, the screen will be kept dimmed until unlocked (no matter if the screen is touched or tapped.)
PaceOn service auto-disable option added
When turning on PaceOn service, an off schedule can be selected to automatically turn off the service. The default is to turn it on forever.
Version 5.4
Settings now saved to the storage
All settings are saved to the storage before closing so that when the app opens the next time, all settings will be restored. This is so even after booting.
Auto-start after boot service changed
Launcher and CXN services each will automatically turn on after booting, if they were previously on before the boot.
Better handling of app closing
When the app is closed by clicking the OK button or pressing the Power button or swiping the app UI to the right, all settings are applied and saved to the storage.
Workaround to the issue of app UI appearing briefly when a notification arrives while charging
This issue can happen to any 3rd party app. It's kind of annoying to see. So, this version tries to avoid that.
If you like my work & want to buy me a cup of coffee or beer, I've just added a Paypal donation email to my profile.
Nice one, thanks.
I'll give it a try.
I'm with you one the wifi transfer thing.
Could really see this come handy

from what i saw till now, if I enable the "keep on the screen", the vibration is gone. the watch vibrates ONLY if I lock it via the button.

Thank you for your feedback.
I've been testing the app for a few days without any vibration issues. When the screen is kept on by the app, my usual apps such as Walk, Run, Alarm, Timer and notifications from phone vibrate normally.
Could you please explain a bit more on the vibration issue you have? Some specific app doesn't vibrate? Thanks.
i'm running a zuk z2 with Nougat on it, 7.1.2, and lost vibration with Gmail, whatsapp and facebook messenger applications.
update: noticed that there's no vibration on Tapatalk as well.

OK, I think I know what happens here.
With or without this app,
When a notification (from any app) is received, Amazfit Pace vibrates only in one of these cases:
1) the screen is locked OR
2) you are NOT on the notification screen.
So, while the screen is kept on (but unlocked) by the app, the device vibrates if you are NOT on the notification screen.
Say you're on the home screen (watchface). Then, a notification is received, the device will vibrate and show the notification. Now, you're on the notification screen, and you won't be taken back to the home screen as there is no screen timeout. If you don't manually navigate from the notification screen to another screen, another notification will not trigger a vibration.
I hope my explanation makes sense, and I don't think I can do anything with the app to improve this.
got it!
What did you use for the app to keep the whatch on?
I started with a GolfCaddy app and because the watch sleeps after a few seconds I don't get the gps satellites.
Thank a lot
wow! it's useful for me Thank you very much for your creation. :laugh::laugh:

I'm glad you like it.
BTW, a new improved and optimised version is coming this weekend.
A big thank you ! As a paramedic it will be very useful to check pulse (seconds), some suggestions to preserve battery :
- Implement an "HD Mode"/On motion as in the new watchface (unlock the screen/activate on wrist motion / background light on maybe ?)
- add an on/off widget on the launcher ? (Don't know if huami allows it) ?
- Lock the screen (unlock with a double tap) ?
Thanks again ! Really great addition to the watch !

We're talking about a custom lockscreen on a custom version of Android here. Sounds quite complicated, but it's actually on my wish-to-do list when time allows.

You plan to release source code?

I was talking about to behaviour of "Night Run" watchface (in pacefied and in 1.3.4f) : when locked, a wrist motion (motion when you watch the...watch) trigger the full color / resolution / seconds hand version of the watchface
With your app you could be able to implement that behaviour for every watchface ! An it will be very good for battery life (don't you want full version of a watchface when you see it ? not when you're watching anything else ?)
If we had tasker on mips, that's what I would try : (I'm not a developer unfortunately)
- Detect wrist motion -> autounlock the watch for a programmed time -> relock
Or
- detect "backlight on" or backlight level > 0 (triggered by motion wrist if enabled in settings) -> autounlock the watch for a programmed time -> relock
As a last suggestion, a simple configurable timer in seconds could be great (my case : every time I unlock I would like to see the seconds hand / NUM for a minute, time for me to check manually a heart rate / ventilatory rate of my patient then autolock), a sort of programmable autorelock !
For the lockscreen, can't you place an invisible overlay after returning on the watchface which could intercept touch, then capture only double tap as an event to disable that overlay ?
Again, Very useful, big thank ! Keep up !

I'm on 1.3.4f, there is Activate on Wrist option. When on, it just turns on the backlight for a few seconds, but doesn't wake the watch. So, you won't see the second hand. And, that works the same for all watchfaces.

I do see the importance of the watchface for you, but PaceOn is implemented to work universally with any app. What you can do now with PaceOn v1.0 is this:
- Open the app, activate "Screen On"
- Press Home (power) button to go Home,then press again to put the watch to sleep
- Whenever you need to take a heart rate reading, just wake the watch, After done, just put the watch back to sleep
I don't think the app consumes that much battery when the watch is asleep, though I've not actually measured it.

Yeah, my wish too.
Another thing is I have no idea what the system allows 3rd party apps do when the watch is asleep.

That'd be the idea, but like I mentioned this is a custom android on which I see some simple android functions don't even work. What I'm doing here is mostly guesswork, just trial & error.
Thanks for the comments. We'll see how this goes.
V1.5 is up.
Version 1.5 is up (OP updated)
Changelog:
UI changes
- Theme change
- Some wording changes (hopefully clearer)
- New icon
Toast notifications added
- Confirmed messages when starting/stopping the PaceOn service
Internal Improvement
- Better app instance handling
- More persistent, less likely to be killed by system
- Lower resource usage
- Optimised and smaller apk
Please note that APK installer doesn't seem to support this optimised apk (attached to OP), though it can be installed via adb as usual. In case that you already have PaceOn on your watch, the command will be "adb install -r anox.PaceOn.v1.5.apk"
The next version will include some new functionality.
thanks for this app....i really like it since it make easier to check anything without double tap or unlock via button.
anyway i find some issues :
the activate on wrist are not working if PaceOn are active
notification wont "minimize" if PaceOn are active
Baterry drain (but this is acceptable i think since the watch are always "on" without baterry saving mode.
if you could fix it would really great ( if not it's still great app )
but overall are superB app, really appreciate it.
information :
Im using English rom 1.3.4f
cheers

The system's activate on wrist works only when the watch is asleep. When PaceOn is active, the watch is awake. I may look into this when implementing a lockscreen for PaceOn.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Right. It's the same reason. When PaceOn is active, the watch stays awake. So, the notification screen will stay on after receiving the notification. It has been discussed in post#6 . Once PaceOn has its own lockscreen, I'll try to improve this.
Baterry drain (but this is acceptable i think since the watch are always "on" without baterry saving mode.

PaceOn itself doesn't drain the battery (much), it's the screen on and the running apps while the watch is awake. When the watch is asleep, I find the battery consumed by PaceOn negligible. Everyone else who has measured the battery consumption may share their experience.
Thanks for the comments & stay tuned for the future versions.
BTW, another version is coming up tomorrow.

Lock screen notification content privacy

Is there a way to hide the notification contents displayed on the lock screen?
You can switch off the notifications in the lock screen per app, but it's a tedious process. I would be interested in an easier method as well.

Havent logged in a while but had to to say thanks for this.

Yes it is. I was looking for it & I was afraid to be disappointed but I found it.
Go to:
Settings> Apps & Notifications> Notifications Management, then click the three dots up in the corner of the screen. You'll find it there
It has changed now!
It is
Settings -> Notifications -> Lock screen notifications -> Selection:
1) Show
2) Do not show
3) Show but hide contents

Mate 10 pro and protected apps

Please where is this function? And battery optimization permission.... Are same things ? Thank
From what I've been able to determine, there is no 'protected apps' menu option on Emui 8.
The place to adjust them is in - Settings - Battery - Launch. Personally I find Huawei's management way too agressive, so I turned off managing all automatically. Then in batch manually set everything to allowed and let Android sort it out. It doesn't seem to have made any difference to my battery life, but at least most notifications seem to work now. You could manually set only the ones you want to allow to run in the background though and it might help.
From settings - battery I also went into the settings icon top right and turned off the 'power intensive prompt' option because it was annoying - Google maps is SUPPOSED to be using frequent positioning, and my podcast app isn't much use if it isn't running in the background!
The whole power management seems to be designed for a phone with a tiny battery, where micro management is needed - but on a phone with the largest battery out of any flagship it seems needlessly aggressive....
Edit: It is also possible in the running apps/recent apps screen to click the lock icon on a program which is supposed to prevent Android from closing that app - but not sure how effective that is on EMUI.
Hello to all. I have installed in huawei mate 10 pro and I would like to use an application to notify gmail emails and whatsapp messages on always on display. use led blinker application that works properly when the phone is charging, while when it is without cable the notifications arrive only when I turn on the screen. I can think that it is a protection of consumption but I have activated all possibilities. could someone tell me what I could activate to solve this problem? thank you
This does exist. It's in the recent apps page (bottom left/right button, depending on your settings).
If you press the lock icon on an app it should "lock" the app from automatically closing.
It also prevents that app closing when you tap the recycle bin icon in the recent apps page.
This is exactly what I need, but I am running EMUI 9 on mate 10 pro and I cannot find this "lock"!! Yet I am sure I have seen it at some point in time... X-(
I just got the Android Pie/EMUI 9 upgrade last week and I found the lock by accident. When viewing your apps in the recents view, find the app you want to lock and drag it down towards the trash icon. You should now see the lock icon for that app at the top, and it should be protected from clearing recents. Clicking the lock or dragging it down again should toggle the lock.
On recent apps list, slide down the app window to lock - lock pad on top. Slide again to unlock

Miui 11 bugs

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..

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!
