Anyway to pick and choose what notifs display in lockscreen? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just like cm?

Yes, Go to Sound & Notification under settiings, Select App Notifications and turn off the ones you dont want to display.

That will turn them off every where. I mean have control separately from lockscreen and homescreen?

Notifications that show up on Lock Screen and Notifications in general can be set individually.

For example, I would like Gmail not to show up on the lock screen but I would like it to show on the home screen. This cannot be done with the stock rom. Is there any way to do it that way? The lock screen gets too crowded if I get notifications that I don't want to see but would still like to see them on the home screen so I know that I got some other notification.

I'm not able to find such a setting. The only control I see is to hide the content of particular notifications on the lock screen.

Prior to Marshmallow, you used to be able to longpress on the notification on the lockscreen and choose to hide it. At the moment, you can only choose to hide all notifications on the lockscreen rather than choosing individually (as far as I can see).
Means that some persistent notifications will always show up on the lockscreen. I'd prefer to have the option to hide some notifications on the lockscreen but still have them persistent.

You can set that option up individually for each app under the Settings. I selected options to not show notifications for certain apps on Lock Screen, but the app badge itself does show when I have a new notification in my launcher. (I use Buzz Launcher)

I don't see the option chichu_9. Could you be more specific about it's location?

There is a whole bunch of stuff that needs addressing for notifications, you need to be able to turn on and off at a app level what is displayed on the lockscreen. I would like email, SMS, IM apps etc to hide their content but still give me a indication that I have a notification. However breaking news, weather, play store etc and apps as such I should be free to set as show content.
It is silly that it is all or nothing.

The option exists to hide the content of a specific notification on the lockscreen, just not to hide the notification altogether (from what I can tell). You can hide notification content on the lockscreen by going to "Settings">"Sound & Notification">"App notifications" then select an app, and check "Hide sensitive content"

For those who are interested in changing these settings:

Notification Toggle
Notification Toggle
Excellent App. Using it myself.
Description
Notification Toggle creates notifications in the Android status bar to let you quickly switch WiFi, Bluetooth, Silent mode, Screen rotation and Flight mode on and off or to adjust the screen brigthness (and many more...)
You can also add shortcut to your own apps right into the notification bar!
In the settings, you can choose which notifications should be active. On some devices, you can also enable the 'all in one' notification, which lets you toggle all features in just one notification (unfortunately this doesn't work on some devices - you will get a popup to select the toggle feature if your device doesnt support multiple notification clicks)
------------------
More information & beta releases can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037817
If you don't like the default icons, press your menue button in the app, select 'Skin' and use your own icons. Some icons are slightly modified ones from the MetroStation Icon-Pack by yankoa (http://yankoa.deviantart.com/)
Some notes:
- not every toggle will work on every device
- some settings aren't changeable by user apps, so it will bring you directly to the android settings
- "all in one" toggle might display a dialog to choose the setting to toggle. if this happens then your device doesn't support notification with more than one click-events
- if you see the settings activity when clicking the "all in one" or the brightness toggle: exit the settings activity with your back-button, not with the home-button

If you mean transparency, you can enable it in UOT kitchen, for Cyanogen Mod 7 only though.

[KitKat][Sense 5.5] HTC One Lockscreen Notification Solution

I am a big fan of lock screen notifications and screen wakeup when those notifications arrive. When I have my phone sitting on the desk and it beeps for something, I want to be able to know what it is without having to touch the phone. If there is anything important then I can attend to it but otherwise I just want to take a peek and leave it for later.
HTC Sense 5.5 has a very limited implementation of this with only emails, calls, voicemail and calendar appointment support. And I also couldn't manage to wake the screen when the notification arrives. It just feels crippled. I don't understand why HTC would do that!!! Almost every app I use supports notifications and HTC's implementation feels like they totally forgot that people use their smartphones for more than just calls, emails, messaging and scheduling appointments.
Lockscreen widgets (like NiLS and Lock Screen Notifications) seemed like a solution but again HTC got in the way with Sense 5.5. You cannot add widgets on the main lock screen. You have to add a page by swiping from right to left and clicking the '+'. But that defeats the purpose as you would still have to swipe to see the notification.
After a bit of digging around, NiLS Floating Panel did the trick! All you need is the NiLS and NiLS Floating Panel . You just need to enable the NiLS service and turn Floating Panel ON. Of course you can customize the experience but I'll leave that for you to explore.
Here's how it looks on my HTC One:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated to the developer of NiLS Lockscreen Notifications. I am simply posting a solution to a common problem. If you don't want to use this solution, then don't. If something didn't work for you, then maybe you are doing something wrong. So no guarantees here.
Definitely a cool idea but for myself, I'm just thinking, what other notifications am I missing? Just curious but what notifications do you miss out on without this?
I'm also looking for a good lockscreen addon. Really like the iOS LS.
Tried NiLS floating panel but apps will only open when there are 2 ore more lines of notifications.
I will take SlideLock, which comes nearest iOS Lockscreen. Only thing I miss is that when I listen to music, SlideLock doesn't show the Music-player Lockscreen-Addon to change or pause song.

If you use third party messaging services like whatsapp or even shopping apps like ebay, amazon to name a few have their own notifications. Say you ordered something on eBay and it was marked as shipped. They eBay app generates an alert for that. It's not that urgent so now you at least know that it was from eBay and it's not something you need to respond to immediately. On the other hand your spouse decides to send a note on whatsapp about something. This is something you might want to respond to immediately. All this is without even touching your phone that's sitting on your work desk. This is just an example and of course varies based on how and what you use your phone for.
I think it is quite practical to have this feature as phones are no longer just calls, texts and calendar appointments. When Android boasts of hundreds of thousands of apps, there should be some scalability with the features vendors bake into their phones.

I'm loathing the new persistent lockscreen notifications on Lollipop! How to disable?

As the title says, I use mainly three apps which have continuous notifications on status bar (WatchOn, AquaMail and Call Recorder), at least that was the case on KitKat. But since Lollipop is released anything which creates a notification on status bar just echoes the same on lockscreen too, and there is no bloody way to disable them. It is extremely annoying as I just hate anything on the the lockscreen but the big arse clock and date.
So the query is rather straightforward, is there any way to disable these damn things? I am rooted obviously.
Thanks in advance.

Disabling only persistent notifications is my issue
I can absolutely relate, I have updated my n9005 to lollipop, but went right back to kitkat, after finding out that I cannot disable just the persistent notifications from the lockscreen. What is the point in having them on the lockscreen? They take away the space from new, and actually useful notifications from gmail, facebook, viber, etc. AND they also took away the quick launch option, as far as I have found... way to go sammy. Implement new features, but screw them up right away for no good reason... It's a shame really...

Well I don't know much but once again Samsung has nothing to do with this I think. This is how Google must have thought it would please us, well.
I could be wrong though.
I'm sorry, but as far as I know(only tried CM12, so could be a CM tweak) stock android has some toggles exactly to fix this issue: under notifications and sounds, you can not only toggle if a certain app is allowed to push you notifications, but also that you want all notifications from that app, or all but persistent, and it may be a third one: show only on the notification shade, but I'm not sure on this last one.
To sum it up, it's Samsung this time.

Okay, thanks for informing that. Need to know whether that's CM exclusive feature or standard Lollipop one. If it's standard LP feature then Samsung has messed up all right.

Getting the Most Out of the Built-In Phone Manager App

Getting the Most Out of the Built-In Phone Manager App
You may have noticed the Phone Manager app on your Honor 8. If you've never bothered to mess with this app, I highly recommend it. There are a lot of ways that the app can help improve the way your phone operates. Here are some of the best ways to use this app.
System Optimization
The System Optimizer will scan your phone to find apps running in your memory. You can select individual apps to be cleared making your phone faster. You can make this process faster by whitelisting the apps that you don't want to be cleared. The next time you need to clear your cache, you can simply hit "clean" and all the apps that aren't on the whitelist will be closed.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Traffic Manager
Monitor the data used by each app to see which ones are using up the most of your 4G allowance. This section will also have the option to setup a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Harassment Filter
Harassment Filter is a very smart way to sort out all the incoming communication that you don't want. You can add phone numbers and contacts to the sms and call blacklist. Not only that but you can add keywords to be blocked as well. Any message sent to you with one of the blacklisted words will be blocked.
Head into the settings in the top right corner to adjust your notifications for the harassment filter. Your phone can be set to notify you every time a message or call is intercepted.
Notification center
The notification center gives you complete control over what apps are allowed to push notifications and where they're allowed to appear. Go to an app and toggle status bar, banner and lock screen to determine how the notifications for that app will show up. You can also assign "priority display" where a notification can interrupt whatever you're doing at the time.
App Lock
Set four digit passwords for specific apps. I've got a lock on my photos, hangouts and snapchat.
Protected Apps
When you turn your screen off, many apps are suspended to save battery time. When this happens, data will not push to these apps so many times you wont receive notifications from them. By default, many apps are already protected so they don't get suspended when the screen is off. Go into this menu to see what apps are on the list. Add or remove apps as you see fit.
There seems to be a much deeper depth in the phone manager than what i first expected. Thank you for the write-up. +1
Thank you for this in-depth explanation, much appreciated
Is there very similar app for the non Honor devices in playstore?

Disable test message preview

Is there any way to turn off the preview of text message content on home screen and notification pull down? I don't want to see the content until i choose to open it? I would still like be notified that received a message. I just want to get rid of the preview.
I have the default messaging app installed and when I follow: Messaging App > Menu > Settings > Notifications, the only options are Block, Silent, and Priority. There are no additional options and I don't see anything related to the preview.
This would be a setting in the texting app itself, not a system setting. You can disable the "preview" in the texting app and just get the notification only.

How to hide msg content of all apps on the notification bar
Hi
I want to hide all previews for any notification I get on on my notification bar, be it text, email or whatsapp etc. I just want to see which apps have a new notification and how many new notifications. Many of the apps on the LG G6 do not have a 'PREVIEW' setting so I can't disable that within the apps themselves.
Thank you

Still doesn't help
Thanks skyfox99 for the response. Unfortunately, that doesn't help because that controls the notifications in its entirety. So changing the settings that way controls if I get the notification and what sorts of notification settings I get it with. I just want to hide the content that comes with each notification. So that it just says for e.g.. Whatsapp 3 new msgs from xyz
If anyone can help with this, it would be greatly appreciated!
