EMUI 5 Beta - Show App Icons on Status Bar - Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Does anyone know how to show app icons on the Status Bar when a notification is received? It appears that you can either only show a number or nothing now and can't showcase each app icon that has a notification. Has this feature just not been added to the beta yet?

There is no option to display app icons, but I really hope they add it. Hopefully the next beta lets us submit feedback and suggestions.

It's very painful not having it! Does anyone know the update cadence for these beta builds?

It's the first one, so I'm guessing no?

Hadn't really noticed that the icons were missing until I saw this post, but you're right. All I see is a "Count" until I swipe down.
Don't even see any indications from the lockscreen either, so it's a real pain just to check for anything that I might have missed.

Notifications without icons are terrible. This is my least favorite part of the beta so far. Everything else seems to be smooth sailing.

Xylon ROM Mako

Since I am not allowed to post in developer forums, I try it here.
I flashed the latest xylon rom (xylon_mako_017_nightlies-23.zip)
I really like that the whole screen is filled with the live wallpaper. Even the background color of nav and status bar are transparent.
But as soon as I went into navbar settings they aren't fully transparent anymore. They are black with a low transparency.
I didn't change their color just the color of the icons. But it changes by itself. And I find no way to get them back to be fully transparent.
Anybody running xylon and knows what the problem is?
Moreover what do I have to do to be allowed to post in developer forums? Only make more then 10 posts?
thanks
Did you check in Xy settings, General UI, Navbar Transparency? He moved that setting from navbar settings to general ui a few days ago.

Anyone has the bug that if you have voice mail display in the phone app, and when you try to click to play in the phone app, the phone app force closes.
I am on 2.1 stable. Fresh install.
This bug also was in the previous stable release.

Yeah, you can change the transparency for the homescreen area but any time you open an app the navbar and status bar go to black.
I was hoping it would stay transparent everywhere, I'm not a big fan of Pie myself and would rather have clear bars.
I just started using this ROM though, so wasn't sure if that was normal or not.

No the fact that when you plug in the device the LED stays green and when the phone hits 14% and under it will constantly flash a red LED

People are you usually trying to give the game/app onscreen more importance. ParanoidAndroid and CyanogenMod both hide the navigation bar too now. You are definitely going in the opposite direction. I have never heard of an app that would make it reappear, why you would you want it too?

i know what u mean, for specific apps that doesn't need to go full screen it would be nice to show status bar
someone should make an app that allow you to manually enables/disables status bar in specific apps would be great

ParanoidAndroid may have that option, since they have the option to force full screen.

In synergies codefire SR15 it is impemented.
If you drop town the upper side of the screen twice in fullscreen, you are able to access into the statusbar.
I really love it, because im always able to use fullscreen and have access to the statusbar.

SMS on the Lockscreen and Notification window...

When I get a text, I noticed neither the Notification window nor the lockscreen will say whom it is from.
If you are in the notification panel you can click the notification and it will take you to the SMS app where you can see who sent the message, but if you click on it in the lockscreen all you get is an empty pop-up window in the newly-created lockscreen page.
Is everyone else experiencing this?
Neat new feature, the lockscreen pages, but I think the interaction with SMS messages is a miss... perhaps they released it before testing that.

Exactly the same here, and it has become very annoying, so far my only complaint of this phone.

I think it was an oversight...
It will probably get fixed in the next build, but those are usually few and far between when dealing with Samsung and AT&T.

Did you all tick this setting?
That setting is checked, although even when that is enabled, it shows on the lockscreen but it doesnt open the SMS app when you click it. Only an extra transparent window opens up in the lock screen.

I can't figure that transparent box either. Rather annoying, but when a text comes in the preview works in the status bar.

I get the box also...
But i have my message icon in the shortcut down on bottom of lockscreen. If you stay your swipe on the icon it launches messages...
Hope someone sheds light on the Grey box!

Just pull down on the lock screen and it would let you tap it and then it will take you to the message..
Or when the message is first receive you can tap it
Works for me

This box?
Try swiping within thr box (as it says) to open messages. It is so you dont accidentally 'read' the message in your pocket.

How this works is when you get a text. Click on the text on the lock screen. A transparent box opens. Whem that box opens swipe your finger in that box. It will take you directly to the text from that person to respond. It works as its intended.
Go Sms works great

i miss the preview message on my lg optimus g that would give you a little preview of what is in the text, that way i can choose if i want to answer it or not from the lock screen instead of going all the way into the messaging app. also if you get a text message and unlock the phone, at the bottom the text message icon has no number showing how many text messages waiting while in the notification bar it says i have a text waiting.

Preview in Notification but NOT Lock Screen
So I like seeing the SMS preview (name and first line of text) in my notification bar pull down, but not on the lock screen. That's just kinda weird to me, they should be separate. I don't want anyone to preview my messages whyile my phone is password or pattern locked.
Anyone have a clue how to configure this???

[Q] 4.4 Update nothing like Nexus 5

It's not even close to being similar.
What's going on?
edit: What's missing:
Translucent menu bar
Translucent dock
The inability to add/remove home pages
Translucent app drawer - App drawer no different. Still shows widgets
Messaging app is still there - Good point though
To sum up, it looks like Jelly Bean..
sure it is. so the status bar isnt clear. install the Google Experience launcher if you didnt install it yet.

It's strange Google becomes easier and more accessible yet people still rather ask on a forum. And wait.

From memory, the same happened with 4.2/4.3 on the Galaxy Nexus vs Nexus 4. They were similar, but there were differences between them. One that springs to mind was the Nexus4 shipped with "Chrome" whereas the Galaxy Nexus had "Browser". There was other bits and bobs that were different between them too, and i remember thinking it was pretty strange, given they were supposed to be both running "vanilla" android.
Search or read existing threads this has been discussed countless of times. Install Nexus 5 port or buy a Nexus 5.

1. the n4 doesnt get the translucent bar.
2. same with the clock
3. install the google experience launcher, its not default
4. see#3
5. open google hangouts and except hangouts as your messaging app(same on n5).
so it turns out only the translucent bar and clock are different. does that make the n5 and n4 4.4 roms not even close to being similar, no.

Notifications not clearing

Hi all,
Anyone else noticed this on their PH-1?
I'll get a notification eg new WhatsApp message. I'll open the app or click the notification to read my message. When I leave the app, the notification remains in the status bar. I have to pull down the notification shade and exit again to clear it.
Very odd behaviour. Happens with every app I've got (eg FB, Gmail, text message, etc).
What would cause this and any ideas how to fix? I've not got any mods etc running. I am rooted and using the latest P beta.
Best, Neil

I have this issue when I hide my NavBar and use gesture apps like OnePlus Gesture or X Home Bar. I am hiding my navbar with the Hide Nav Bar app.
When I use the navbars as normal, my notifications clear as they should. Kind of annoying as I Like to hide my navbar.

Ah, you might be on to something there! I'm using a combination of the xda Navigation Gestures with Swipe Nav. Really love this set up and didn't imagine its impact on notifications!
Bummer.
Having the same issue :/ is there a solution? I don't want to go back to the Nav Bar!

Did you try reporting the problem to the dev?
I feel like it's more of an app issue rather than Android itself.
