Huawei Ascend XT NOTIFICATION HELP NEEDED! - Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers

Hey all, not sure if you guys can answer this but I need help with something. I got a Huawei Ascend XT recently and for a GoPhone, this thing is pretty damn awesome. Only issue I have is the notifications. I have a custom SMS messaging app I like to use and I set up different pictures or icons for different people. Yet, whenever I receive a message from them, I get the default icon instead of the one I set up. It's like the phone is overriding what I set up. Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the notification settings or to disable it so it doesn't only show default icons? I messed with it in settings but it doesn't help.
Thanks in advance

To the best of my understanding, default notification icons are pre set by EMUI. they either use its own version of an app icon or the default on that came packaged with that app. nobody has figured out how (or at least shared that they figured it out) to change this action. it should be taken as a permanent part of EMUI and can only be avoided by installing a custom rom that does not use system wide themeing to the extend that Huawei does. i hope I have answered your question.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I cant do a customer ROM yet as I havent rooted the device yet. Is there any way of disabling just that part of the EMUI? Anyone??

You can disable all notifications for each specific app . Does that help?

Unfortunately no, that just disables the entire app. This is the only thing about the phone I dont like.

You are not supposed to be disabling the entire app, just its notifications .

[APP] [>=4.0] Recurrent Notifications for any App

This app allows to configure recurrent notifications for each app that is using the standard Android notifications subsystem.
For each app, you can configure the ringtone, vibration, led color, number of repeats and interval of each notification.
Notifications are automatically cancelled if the monitorized app removes the notification.
Also, for each monitorized app you can configure if you like to be notified when a ongoing or clearable notification was created or if the created notification contains a specific text.
This app requires a special permission that needs to be activated after the install (go app settings in order to activate it).
Please, contact if you have troubles or questions.
Market Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.notificationsmanager
Compatibility:
Android 4.3 and higher for the standard notifications controller
Android 4.0 to 4.2 for the legacy notifications controller (based on accessibility permissions)
Thank you, been looking for something like this that actually works for a long time, just downloaded it, and all is working flawlessly at the moment, using the custom notification on my Yahoo email app, I can use what sound I desire now.
Thanks very much, will be upgrading to the paid version very soon.
Just a quick question though, is there anyway to disable the app notification icon in the status bar.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your comments. Appreciate it!
You can disable the statusbar icon clicking settings and checking the "Statusbar icon" preference
Thanks again
Your welcome, I have tried what you suggested to turn off the notification icon, but for some reason it is still visible, not a problem though, it soon disappears after I have read my notification.
Thanks again

Thanks, updated app about an hour ago, still works great, but having selected no icon in the settings, when i get an email, i get no notification sound now, it still works so well i have updated to the paid version of the app.
Again not to worry, it works brilliantly if i have to put up with that icon i will as the icon only pops up when i receive an email, then disappears after i have read it.
Thanks again.

I've got a few questions
1. does this app can control LG G2 back LED
2. does this app usage impact battery life?

App is nice. Has a lot of potential.
Before bying the pro version:
I have set GMail as the app to work with recurrent notification.
When I set the "Recurrent notification" to silent sound I still hear the sound of the "original notification" as normal. Any workaround ?
Never gave it a chance due to app permissions
I'm worried about the permissions this app wants to be allowed. All text apart from passwords? Still enables it to collect credit card details etc.
Nah ah.
Sorry but I won't be buying this until i can test with more then 1 app (2 would be enough to test good). Also would be nice to be able to change the blinking speed of the led its too fast for my taste.

Sorry, this app uses the standard led API, that refers to the standard phone led. I think standard phone led is the front led. Sorry
This app has no effects in battery life. Service is sleeping all the time except when a notification is started.

You need to set silent also for notification in gmail.
This app develops notification and recurrent notification for any app, but you need to silent the stock notification in order to don't have double notifications.

Explain for permissions
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: In order to receive boot completed at startup and initiate the service
VIBRATE: To allow vibrate
INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required by Google Ads
BILLING: To manage PRO version
READ_PHONE_STATE: Get events when phone call started and ended and silent notifications when in phone call
BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE: (Jelly Bean and Kitkat) To receive notifications and interactuate
BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE: (Ice Cream Sandwich) To receive notifications and interactuate
You refer to a standard Android message that is showed when you enable accessibility permissions to any, but this app is not collecting none, and the Inet access is only used
by the Ads library (by Google). We are not collecting or sharing with none.

Sure. We can add vibration patterns in next release.
Sorry, more than one app is a PRO feature.
I wanted to disable vibration and sound for Viber and also set the LED to purple on my Oppo Find 5, but for some reason it did not do anything.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Have you entered "Notifications Manager" app settings and activated accessibility access or notifications access?
Is needed to activate the app.
Also, you need to disable notifications in Viber and enable notifications for Viber in the Notifications Manager app.
(I assume Viber is generating a statusbar notification when a call)
Thanks

Ohh, now I feel dumb Thanks, it works like a charm!
Seems a good app I can't wait till I try it
Sent from my EMVIRUS Sensation XL ! using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Good looks! Gonna be keeping up with the progress of this app.
I've tried to use it on galaxy s4 with 4.4.2 and it does work for notification but LED does not work. I've tried with different colors but only use default one.
Any advice?
I cant seem to get this to work with a Nexus 5
It's too bad you can only test it with one app. What if multiple apps cause a conflict somewhere, how would we be able to identify that without purchasing the app? The trial version should be the full product with a time limit of like a week or something. Don't be stingy. =/

[Q] How to REMOVE STOCK NOTIFICATION PANEL?

The samsung stock notification panel is huge, ugly, obtuse, and doesn't even have many of the toggle options I prefer. For instance flashlight isn't even an option. There are better 3rd party notificaction panels.
Can someone please advise me on how to remove this thing (without rooting)?
Is there an app that can do it?
This is my first post. Looking forward to positive interaction. Hopefully a successful solution too! Lol
Not possible.

Any good news? I'm also interested in removing the notification panel.
No way to remove or change it without root, however, I believe you can add a second one using one of these apps.
Settings Extended, Power Toggles, and Notification Toggle from the play store. Worth a try if it floats your boat.

I've installed "notification toggle" a few days ago and it pleases me a lot. That's the reason I want to dump the stock notification feature.

You know, I think I misunderstood and thought you just wanted to remove some of the toggles or change / add some. I've never seen it completely removed. Doesn't mean it's not possible, but I've never seen it.
You should be able to request a mod and ask somebody to add in whatever toggles it is you want (flashlight, etc.) that aren't normally there. I'm sure one of the modders around would be happy to help you out and do a flashable zip to alter it to your liking. You could also just use an Xposed module to do it.
Check out this page: http://www.xda-developers.com/touchwizs-current-and-upcoming-theming-settings/ Maybe that will lead you in the right direction.
Heh-heh, big thanks @bbeelzebub! I've installed Xposed Framework v2.6.1 (it's working flawlessly) and now I'm looking for the right module. I've tried GravityBox (v3.5.9) but unfortunately it doesn't have the option to customize the notification panel. I'll keep searchin'...
Without rooting, it's not possible. With root, it would be (relatively) simple.

Possibly. What exactly is it you're wanting to do? Remove the quicksettings panel?
I want to remove the stock notification panel (android v4.1.2) or, if it's possible, to customize it (add/remove toggles).

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.

Thanks miz_pimp, the animation settings solved it for me too (Huawei MediaPad T3 10, AGS-L09, Android 7.0, EMUI 5.1.3) - I now have a popup at least.

How can I enable again this feature? (screenshot inside)

Hello,
this is a screenshot of my wife's Mi A1.
On mine, I haven't it.
How can I re-enable it again, please?

If you want to re enable this, uninstall hide running in the background application that you might have downloaded from play store for the seek of this badass irritating notification

You probably swiped left on it and disabled it from there - if that could be done for this app. Just locate the app (in settings > apps) and check its notifications
It was the first thing I did, but option about notification is already enabled.
I've disabled, saved, re-enabled it.
No solution.
OK, I'll survive without it!
Thanks, by the way, for help.
Afaik that recurring notification about apps running in the background was a bug in the 1st version of Oreo (December). It's been fixed in the January update that's why you don't have it anymore. I used to have the same annoying notification too. But I'm not sure why your wife's phone still has them. Not updated, perhaps?
Hello,
They are both updated to January patch.
I'm on January update and only see that notification for Gmail every once in a while, usually before an email comes through.

stop heads up notification

hello!
any one of you has tried this method?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/howto-4-to-disable-heads-notifications-t3197660
it has worked for me since s7, s8 and note 8...
thanks
You can eliminate almost all heads up notifications by going into the settings application, then click Apps, click Gmail, click Notifications, change all settings to "Make sound."
Repeat this for any app you do not want heads up notifications for...
Hope this helps!

you are right!!!
in note 8 there was not this option!!!
Sounds like this is what I made another post about, just didn't see this one as I was looking in Q&A.
Why are the banner notifications so insanely disruptive on the Note 9 vs the Note 8? It's almost insane how different it is.
Edit: thanks to this post, think I found the setting driving me mad!
I still have the note 8 and i didnt have to do anything crazy to disable notifications for popping up. Its a feature in the android os that you can set for each app. Ive not had any pop up or heads up banners for a long time on the note 8 and the same for the 9
You can use system ui tuner from playstore there can you disable it
adb command no root needed.
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
That is for system wide
Note: the adb method no longer works for UI 2.1 and the adb hack isn't needed any longer. It would still be nice to apply a global default with this hack rather than changing each app individually. It's now under each apps notification settings, under "Message notifications" and is called "Show as Pop-up".
