ps i sent to you a message

I dont think you can change the notification color, I also dont like that color notification either.
What you cant read, the whole message? It only shows a preview for just 2 seconds seconds.
I tried to disable the notification in message settings, but it keeps showing up. Maybe its a software bug.

maybe a theme , or edit the default theme can fix it

Go to stettings, and scroll down to the last option->About Phone, mine ends in B188.
I tried other themes and launchers, and it still has that black notification.
I havent tested the gmail app yet, to see if it shows or not in the notification.
Maybe they will change it in the 6.0 android, or wait for a CM rom.

Try this setting....Settings > Custom Settings > General Mods > Check Dialog Pop Ups User Selected after checking it hit Dialog Pop up type and change to TW Light and see if that gets you to something you can see.
Thanks for the help, sadly it didn't work I've done a little more digging and found out that the bars and sides of Instagram app is black, twitter still is and my contacts are all solid black.. If there's a way I can post screen shots without exceeding limit please let me know

Try this and see if we can get text color back. Go to settings > custom settings > colors > unlinked colors and try manually changing the text color to white and then hit restart ui and see if that at least gets your text back to where you can see it.

I'm not quite sure how to get you back as I didn't play with the color schemes extensively, just enough for me. Are you opposed to reflashing the ROM? Alliance is so vast with changing the colors it should be part of the OP that after initial flash you should back up that theme in Alliance manager that way if you have a color bork you can just install that and restart. The colors are alot of trial and error. You haven't broken anything, there's a lot to play with and sometimes you have unpleasant results.
That's what I don't get I didn't edit the colors to get this way I just came across it, but I'll keep trying until I find a solution just trial and error

Have you tried setting your theme to one of the presets? I had a similar problem (but it was because I did mess with everything right away) and setting to a different theme and back to the stock theme saved me a lot of headache. It's a good practice to backup your theme before you stray from what works though.

Whatsapp notification problem..

Hi there, I'm facing a problem with the notification in WhatsApp, when I get a message and let's say I'm chrome or any other app it's only shows the WhatsApp icon on the notification bar, but if I don't remember it wrong it should at leats show me something like new message from "anywho" and then the icon, or even give me the option to fast reply showing me the whole message but it's not doing any of this, only the icon and I have to draw the notification bar just to see who is texting me..
It's this the way it's supposed to work? Cuz is driving me crazy..
I have last marshmallow stock build with July security patch, unlocked and rooted with EX-kernel and a theme called Milos using layers manager, dunno if that have something to do with it..

Wallpaper dark overlay

Hi guys.
I'm not sure if anyone noticed this, but whenever I set a wallpaper, it gets dimmed as if some kind of an overlay or a filter is applied to it. From what I read on Google, it is a common thing for Huawei.
However, nobody seems to have a solution. Does anyone here know something. It really drives me crazy since I can't set a white or light wallpaper.
Thanks a bunch.

No, BUT! I know it starts just after boot-up, so it has to be a small app or a process. Since I'm not rooted, can't do anything about it. Are you rooted?

A program called : SB WALLPAPER CHANGER fixes it but in alarm and dial app it messes up the background blur ... Try it and give me a reply . I haven't used it in 2 months , maybe they have fixed it !
It messes the background blur when you are in a call or when you are setting an alarm . See the image . In settings app go into portrait - fix image ( no scroll ) and in the bottom go and select your image . and then go back and set it as a wallpaper from the app .
Not sure if this is the answer but...
I close all apps runnig on background and the dim wallpaper went back to normal inmediatly. Maybe is a battery saving action when to many apps are running at the same time.
Hope it helps!

Sorry, I saw now that I said quick settings instead of notification panel but I corrected it,
I don't have the notification either, although I still have the popup after taking the screenshot. I'm using C02B329. I think this might have been removed in Nougat. I'm speaking under correction, but I'm pretty sure I read about it somewhere. ?

I am also using the same version (C185B360) and I can confirm this. I also got the update via official OTA a few days ago. But I don't think it is a big issue.
I also don't have 'App Twin' feature in settings and notification panel is black (not transparent).
I heard somewhere in the forum that b360 is beta and beta version won't get update. Are we using the beta version or?

At least you get a popup to show that a screenshot was captured, I have to check in the gallery to see if the screenshot was taken, cause if you use your phone in silentmode there is no way to be sure it was taken if you can't hear the screenshot sound

Quick question: have you by any chance changed your animation settings in Developer options? I haven't tested it on Nougat, but with marshmallow, I set my animation duration to off, and the pop-up stopped showing. Turning that back to 0,5x got it back again.
Hopefully that's the case for you, if not, then it's definitely a bug in the firmware.

Glad it worked! ? Yeah, the notification is definitely helpful, especially for when the animator duration is turned off.

Any way to keep notifications on lockscreen?

Hi everyone!
So, I recently got a Mi 9T.
I really like the device itself, but not having used MIUI in a few years, there's something that is really making me angry, to the point where I'm considering sending the device back and getting a refund: the way notifications are handled on the lock screen.
Basically, the problem is this: when you recieve a new notification, it only shows on the lockscreen ONE TIME. After that, if you turn the screen off and back on again, even if you didn't dismiss the notificaiton it disappears from the lockscreen. You have to unlock the phone and open the notification shade to read the pending notifications.
This is not how stock Android behaves, and is very annoying because I keep forgetting I have unanswered emails/messages/etc, since I don't see them "at a glance" when I turn on the screen without unlocking the device.
Is there any way to fix this?
If there isn't, does anyone know of any alternative solution? Maybe a third party app? At least a way to see that there are active notifications, maybe via an icon in the statusbar or something?
Ok, after some searching I've found that this Xposed module should have this feature: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-customiuizer-customize-miui-rom-t3910732
Now all we need is a way to root the device so we can install Xposed/EdXposed. Has anyone tested magisk/root yet?
On my previous mobiles, I've been using a combo nova/missedit
Nova folder, transparent icon with links to phone, messages, WhatsApp,WeChat, slack... Inside, with badges active. Any notification is shown only when present. Touch, open folder, touch open app. Fast and nice.
Missed it can be configured to show anything you want
But both are not working properly with t9. Bought Wednesday, not much testing still, but some annoyances found, like that.
Lock screen is just detected, I didn't noticed it until now. But may be dangerous.
And also, notification led (I love those things) does nothing but charge... And noled app doesn't works

LED is working for me with notifications (tested with WhatsApp).
Thanks for your suggestions, but from what I read it seems that those apps are for missed notification badges? I'm talking about notifications on lockscreen, that disappear after they've been shown once.
But the mod I've linked above seems to have the solution, just need to find a root method (there's a TWRP available, but not official, don't know if Magisk works on it or not, will test this weekend if I can).

thanks btw
ok, i understand your problem.
but for me is also logic to not keep same notification on lock screen always, even after you unlock and lock phone back.
there are up in notification bar, icons, or badges on icons in home screen, and they saty until you dismiss them from notification bar.

Different people use their phone differently.
Personally, I use notifications as reminders. For example: if I get an email that I can't reply to immediately I do not dismiss the notification, so when I turn on the display, maybe even hours later, I immediately see the notification and I am reminded to reply.
Note also that this is how notifications work in stock android, so MIUI should at least give the option imho.
yes i understand you. but this is not stock android.
and if you dont dismiss notification in notification panel, when you swipe down, this notification icon will remain there until you dismiss her. so lets say, this morning i receive email, and it was on my lock screen. i unlock phone, and use what i wanted, but didnt watch email. in notification bar i have icon that there is email, and on app icon i have notification number. so this notifications number and icon in notification bar will stay all the time i dismiss notification when i pull down notification panel. i hope you understand. so if you watch on app icon of email you will know you have email as there is notification number, and up in bar you will have also notification that you have message. It is that what you said notification shade.
dont be upset, just say that it is not exactly true that after unlock you lose remainder that you receive email or message.

That's very interesting... is this a XiaomiEU feature or has it been added in stock MIUI beta? (XiaomiEU builds are based on MIUI beta if I recall correctly).
Anyway, I can confirm that I've been using the Xposed module "custoMIUIzer" on my 9T and it works perfectly, it has a fix for this problem (and tons of other customizations)

Customiuizer does it.
On latest MIUI12 weekly beta.
What version of xposed are using with customiuizer?
For those who got the update, did Xiaomi fix their 'feature' in MIUI 12?
