going crazy! (System UI) Notifications - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey this question seems simple initially, but how do you disable SystemUI notifications? I'm talking about that grey notification that shows up on the lower part of your screen right over your keyboard. Whenever I start downloading something or quickly switch apps, it always seems to pop up and display some stupid arbitrary message. It's incredibly ANNOYING when you need to type something quickly and it's covering your keyboard. Does anyone know how to disable this? I've been using Android for over 5 years and I still haven't been able to figure this out lol.

I'm not sure if you're rooted or anything and I haven't tried it directly, but you can try the EnhancedToast Xposed Module. By description, it'll log the messages that display and then you can disable them as you see fit. Give it a look here EnhancedToast I hope this helps!

SMS Preview Options

I posted this over in the general GS4 Q&A forum in the relevant thread, but I haven't gotten a response. I figured I'd ask here in a new post in the hopes that someone will read it. This is a copy and paste job, which is why the beginning and the edit seem out of context:
Hey guys. I am an N4 user, but I just bought my girlfriend a GS4. She's discovered a problem that I can't find an answer to.
Is there a way to have text messages preview ONLY in the status bar and notifications? It is very useful to have the preview of the message in the status bar and expanded notifications. However, it seems that the only way to enable this is to simultaneously enable the preview on the lock screen. Even with a secure lock screen, the preview of the message is still there. It seems odd for the control for two completely severable features to be bundled together in this manner. This creates a completely unnecessary compromise between convenience and security. Not to mention that even with the preview option turned off, a message identifying the sender still shows up on even a secure lock screen. I am thinking that I must be missing something in the widgets options, and I can remove this text "widget" (which is exactly what it is in practice) completely from the lock screen without sacrificing the convenience of previewing the message through the status bar and expanded notifications.
So, any advice? I'm guessing switching to a third-party messaging app might work, but I (and she) heavily prefer the stock messaging apps. I am looking to avoid this and simply find a solution while still allowing for the stock messaging app. I am going to try Lockscreen Policy in a few, and I'll report back on that. The idea came to me while typing this up.
EDIT: Looks like Lockscreen Policy did the trick. The message still previews in the status bar on the lock screen, but the text message widget that was the major problem is now gone. Unfortunately this trick prevents access to all other lock screen widgets.

[Q] Blocking mode notification stays on when not active

Anyone else bothered by the blocking mode notification icon staying on in the status area even when it's not blocking. Takes up space, makes the notification function less useful as notification is on even when not active so you have to look more carefully to see if there is anything important pending.
Shouldn't it just be on during the blocking mode time periods, and then off when you don't want things blocked?
Anyone have a solution?

Found my own answer. Root the phone, install a custom recovery. That goes with out saying. Then install the Xposed Framework.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
Then install the Wanam Xposed module. Dozens of different settings, including this one.
A rooted phone with Xposed running allows you to have the flexibility and power of a customer ROM, while staying on stock.

Black bar in Snapchat?

Hey guys, I was wondering why there is a black bar in Snapchat where the navigation keys would be. The bar disappears when I open a chat with someone and remains hidden as long as I keep the app open. I have the on-screen navigation keys turned off as I use gesture controls on my Nexus 6P.
If someone has figured out how to get rid of this annoying black bar, please let me know.
ikr, its so annoying... i think its cuz of xposed or snappereffs probably

Snapchat always assumes you have a navbar running. Doesn't matter that you disabled it in your case. The new snapprefs module update probably coming soon has a feature to disable it. Otherwise, that's just how the app is programmed.

I should have known, it really is a poorly made app. Eats up my battery like crazy and crashes all the time. Where did you find this information about the new feature in snapprefs? I think I have to give it a shot when it is released.

It's noted in his github. Prefs definitely makes the snapchat experience nicer imo.
change your phone model number from build.prop to htc10 or oneplus 3 , that way snapchat will assume you are using a phone with hardware buttons and you will get rid of the black bars and also cropped video and photo. I have posted something about this problem, you can check it on my posts.

Getting rid of heads up notifications while phone is unlocked?

I'm not sure if this is an LG or Nougat thing, but it's seriously annoying. Whenever I use the phone and I get a notification of any kind, it pops down from the status bar (why can't it just go straight to the 2nd screen???) and persists for a few seconds unless I action it or dismiss.
Is there a setting within notifications or apps themselves to make them go straight to the 2nd screen?

Mine pop into the 2nd screen. What app is causing it? I know Textra was doing that until I disabled the pop up notification

Snapchat and Whatsapp are examples. What sort of notification settings do you have? Are you silencing any apps?

Not silencing anything, I just adjusted the Textra to not show the floating reply.
I don't use Whatsapp so can't speak to any settings in there and my Snapchat I have set to Vibrate only(turned wake screen off). Don't get a lot of Snapchat chats so never noticed if its a pop up notification or not

Weird - I found out that "Silencing" notifications is the only way to get them to not pop up... but then I don't get a vibrate.
System UI is a "hidden" feature of Nougat that LG decided to axe, which is extremely frustrating because it has the EXACT functionality someone needs to have full control over their notifications.

Yeah I want that system UI because in it you can do percent in battery notification so it's not next to the battery
It actually started with Marshmallow and was pretty popular due to the simple tweaks it can do that everyone wants. Unfortunately it seems to be more of a carrier issue with disabling it. Regardless, disabling peeking should be a basic option in settings from day 1. Not a super hidden feature in Andriod M and a above with no guarantee of staying. Textra is nice enough to have its own setting. Why other apps do not is baffling.
Someone finding a way to get to the System UI tuner settings would be amazing. As it is now there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off ONLY peeking/heads up notifications that I have been able to find. Maybe HeadsOff will be compatible with N before long.
I can't reply to any notifications in my notifications panel. How do I turn it back on?

S10+ - Not receiving notifications

Howdy everyone!
I am having an issue with my S10 not displaying notifications. The only notifications that work is the Messages app. When the phone is on a black screen, the Message app is the only one that will display and notify.
I want my other apps... Nest, Wyze, Meross, etc to do the same as the messaging app.
I have googled for hours and tried almost everything i can think of.
Help?
Are your notification settings turned on for each app under settings then notifications?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I checked for each app.. I have even compared to the actual message app that came on my device.
Beginning to notice this issue also
Since the April Update this happened. Looks like its not an "issue" but a system change.
There used to be a setting where you could turn the messages on/off etc...
For instance, i like that my edge panel lights up, and i get the icon on screen that i have a message.
My wife likes that message to be displayed on the screen so she can see it without having to actually go to it.
Now there is a little messges overlay for the stock app that pops up, similar to FB messenger, I actually like this idea, but that seems to be a huge change and i cant find the setting to revert to the old way.
