So, the notification for Oreo's update had been bugging me so I said 'well, why not install it, nothing should change too much'. To my surprise, I find that it has many bugs (can't open discord, the blue light filter doesn't work on the notif panel, and can't turn off notifications while getting the numbered notifications on the apps). So I was wondering how to go around installing Nougat, or even the one that came with the phone, Marshmallow. I want to be extra cautious and not brick it or something.
What are the things I should take into account? Is there a guide or something so that I don't screw up in some part? Are there any regional differences as to the firmware I should get?

I'm just getting used to my new Yotaphone 2, it is living up to my expectations so far but I've got a couple of questions...
1. Can you disable yota cover? The manual mentions an option to disable it but I can't find it on the yota hub settings, the scenario is I have a lock screen with swipe pattern to unlock the device, so the yota cover is unnecessary. when mirroring, I end up removing the yota cover, then putting the unlock pattern in , the EPD is all about convenience for me and this double step to unlock is annoying.
2. The "next event" widget should be awesome but it doesn't display "all day events" from the calendar so its somewhat crippled, a true agenda widget would be better but any how my question is why the hell is an address in Moscow showing up as the location of all my calendar events when displayed on the "next event" widget on the EPD?? Any one else getting this?
3. Anyone else getting stuck notifications only on the "any other notifications" icon (the bell) if so how are you removing or resetting the counter?
Thanks for any advice you can give me

Hey dude, just spotted this thread, sorry didn't answer sooner. You may have figured the answers to your own questions out by this point but i'll reply anyway -
1. Not sure about stopping yotacover, have you tried simply removing each page (via menu > remove in yotacover) until none are shown? Haven't tried it but might work.
2. The next event widget is working fine for me, showing all day events and the address it shows is fine. Perhaps this has been fixed in an update?
3. I get stuck notifications occasionally, mostly they come from apps that leave a notification, whether invisible or not, like ad block plus. These tend to go away eventually and stop showing up after a time, maybe the phone gets used to them. Occasionally there are random notifications that I assume are left over from when there were actually things I had not dealt with or swiped away from notification drawer. These also tend to go away, and I think this has been addressed a little bit in the recent update.
Hope you got the issues sorted and if not I hope you get some use out of this.
Thanks for the input, to add my findings since my original post.....
1. I've got used to yotocover and how it works so it's not bothering me so much now, I may try your en suggestion tho and delete the set up of the yota covers to see if that stops it.
2. The next event is working as I would expect now, it shows all day events and the Moscow location has stopped showing up on my events thank goodness. I'm guessing this improvement is due to the software updates that have been coming via the play store.
3. One of the notifications I was getting was from the google now weather notification that shows up in the notification shade but not on the top bar, also avg notifications do the same. Any notification what so ever will flag the " bell" on the EPD, it would be nice if we could configure that. Or give is an android wear notification yota panel, now that would be awesome!

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!
I've wanted a smartwatch for a while and decided to try the No.1 S9. The most important thing was the notifications.
As advertised, it does push notifications but we only see the date/time along with the sender's name. There's no way to see the notification's text? What's the point if I need to go pick up my phone to read the text?
Am I missing something?
I read that people had issues since Nougat. I took my Samsung S Tab that runs Marshmallow and sent myself a notification. Indeed, the notification appeared will full text.
Apparently Google changed something in the way notifications are delivered. Perhaps this has something to do with it. Unfortunate.
Someone at work mentioned LineageOS. If Nougat is the problem about notifications on my watch, can Lineage be the solution? Is Lineage sending the notifications the same was Nougat does (bundled)?
I don't want to risk bricking my S7 for nothing.
Hello all!
I'm coming from a s5 mini and the one thing I was really sad to let go was the notification led. It's a great feature and I really miss it.
Always on display can do somewhat the same thing, but not that good. I often leave my phone on a table and walk around and I want to be able to just glance at my phone and see if I have any notifications. Yes, always on display shows notification, but it has a clock and 2 lines of text above them, making it harder to distinguish if you actually have notifications from some meters away.
I was thinking if I could change the color of notifications. The clock could stay white, but have a green notification for a miss call for example, that way the notification will pop out and catch your eye.
Also it would be perfect if I could assign different colors for different apps, that way it would act like the beloved notification led..
thats not possible for now but if it interests you heres and an apk that will make aod display notifications only , just install choose analog reboot and its done https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlNdpKNMp2XWkYY01k9kg3-Ax78rjg

thank you, thank you, thank you :good:
I just found this thread. That sounds exactly what I want - I dont want the AOD on all the time - just to give me notifications.
The link above is now dead - Any chance it could be made available again?
EDIT: Probably should add - would this work on an a5 2017 running Oreo?
after quite a lot of searching i found the original thread about it , just scroll down a little until you see downloads and select just notifications , but there are more greatt aod things there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/root-customise-display-updated-t3688153
edit: doesnt work on oreo
Ok thanks. I have oreo. Doesn't seem to work.
I recently updated to Oreo on the Sprint network on my S8 and now all my badge icons have disappeared and I cannot get them to work. Regardless of the app or what settings I turn on the badges do not work. I'm also not getting any edge lighting notifications when the screen is turned off. I have tried hard reboots and still nothing. This is very disappointing as I was hoping the update was going to fix all these issues. Any suggestions to help fix these issues would be appreciated.
Do not complain if U didn't do a factory reset after update.
It's a must on samsung devices after a major update. Sadly.
I have managed to fix this somehow.
I was a trying a few things and have basically managed to wipe my home screens. So need to set up icons and widgets again. It's quite cathartic...
The upshot is that Badge icon notifications are working again.
I think deleting the cache and memory for the Samsung Home Experience and a restart fixed it
Good Luck

Not quite working as it was!
I now get the numbered badge icons which was not the case post upgrade.
However they disappear if and when the notifications are cleared. Very annoying!
I'm also having issues when the notifications.
If I clear the notification bar it clears the badges on the apps. Also if you enter an app that has a bafge, don't read the message the badge still disappears.
I'm fairly confident that wasn't the case before the update.
Edit: sorry, reply to a wrong post.
Factory reset, OR a new phone don't fix it. I've tried both, 4 trips to AT&T, 2 new S8 actives later... still an issue. Samsung tech support (4xs) says it's a software issue and won't be fixable. They tell me to "just wait for the update to fix it." Super annoying they can't get their $#!* together and fix it.
