Does anybody know how to remove the stock sense widget on the lockscreen? I can put my own widgets on other pages but I can't remove the stock sense widget on the main page. Frustrating. Does anybody know how to do this? Or is it possible? I want to use dash clock.
I am curious about this as well and have not been able to find any info about altering the lock screen widget as stated above.
same here. Would like to get that nonsense off my lockscreen
I saw a post in another thread with a screenshot of a very clean lock screen, I have not found it yet though.

If you find it let us know. It might have been for a custom ROM, since the lock screen on stock in blinkfeed based I would assume flashing a ROM and not running blinkfeed would allow the us to change this BUT ideally I want to stay stock (with s-off/root) if I can, so here's hoping something can be worked out.

You should be aware that to use SlideLock you'll need to go to Settings > Security > No Lock Screen, or you'll slide your LS and then the Sense one is right underneath. Also, music controls don't work with SlideLock at this time.

I downloaded this and tried it too and the first thing I did notice was that it was just running over the default lock screen which is what I was hoping to avoid by just altering the default one to suite my needs. It is clean and simple though and I cant imagine it causing too much slow down, a lot of the options are locked though for a pro version that costs $2.73.

Unfortunately I cannot set that due to outlook group policy at my firm. However, after the first two times or so the original lock screen that was behind slide lock is now gone, which is great and unexpected. I will go to the official thread and look for this answer now but how can I disable wifi notifications on the lock screen? I blacklisted "system" and only allow a few apps but this continues to pop up, sometimes more than a handful at at a time.

the system checkbox is only whether you can edit whether or not you can see system apps in the view. Turn that checkbox on and select uncheck all then turn on what you need.

Hey everyone,
I want to flash the camera LED (Not the notification LED) on incoming call , message , and SMS / MMS .
I have tried just about all the free apps on the market attempting to do so, with no / little luck. Some just don't work at all, and a few will flash on TEST mode but not actually work when ringing. [Edit: Some work great on SMS / text but NOT ringer ... wtf ???]
I found one or two that will flash AFTER the ringer stops, but not consistently and nothing works like it should. Also nothing will actually flash while the phone is ringing. I tried Flashlight Notifier but you have to pay for PRO to use the ringer option, which I am afraid to do since nothing else worked....
I am using ViperOne 3.2.1 on HTC One M8 -- I have also tried the VenomTweaks settings of notification flash and added people and phone but that doesn't work either.
A few apps that I tried have Accessibility on/off service, which I have enabled and still no luck.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks !

You want it to flash as often as the notification led or just once when the initial notification comes in?

Well, just flashing on the original incoming call would be great.
In a perfect world mirroring the notification LED, at incoming call, on voicemail, sms and text all would be nice but all I really want is to flash while the phone is ringing....

Awesome, that would be cool...
I know zero about Android code, but in my head it's just something like:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Rintone_Activate call Flashing_Timer
On Ringtine_DeActivate (Halt Flashng_Timer | Camera_Flash_OFF )
Module Flashing_Timer (
:Loop
Camera_Flash ON | Wait 1,1
Camera_Flash OFF | Goto Loop
)

So... Quite a funny outcome here...
So unless you write an app including permission to access torch, if torch is turned on in anyway (outside of an app with permission) the screen turns off...
So what I did was wrote a nice little script to monitor when /sys/class/leds/green/blink so when it's set to 1 /sys/class/leds/flash_0/brightness is echo > 200 for 500ms (half a second) then echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/flash_0/brightness . However because of what I have found when that does happen the screen goes black for a second while torch is flashing.
Il keep working on it to see if I can get something a little more usable.

ok so this is what ive come up with for the time being, since i see no foreseeable way around the screen flash issue, and there for dont see a point in dedicating more time to this.
download tasker.
create a new profile.
select event
select file
select file modified
type
Code:
/sys/class/leds/green/blink
then back out and create a task.
label it what ever you'd like
press the + and select code
select Run Shell
in the command field type
Code:
echo 200 > /sys/class/leds/flash_0/brightness
the check the box next to Use Root
back out and click the play icon bottom left, this will prompt you to allow su access.
all done, now in the phone settings under sounds and notification select what app light notifications you want to use, and whenever the green light changes from on or off status the torch will flash once.

Thanks for taking a stab at it, I will try it out in a few days if I ever get a chance...
OK guys I hope this hasn't already been covered but here goes anyway. I have found this fix for notifications not arriving when doze is enabled. Iff you go into the particular app e.g what's app then into data usage you must select the following settings see pic below. then all the notifications will arrive straight away regardless of doze state.

Yes that seems to be the problem. I had made a post months ago. It's very hidden feature by Lenovo and I think it's wrong to pre-restrict all background data. User should decide what to do.
I think they lenovo did it to block unnecessary data usage but i agree it is not needed and people are thinking their is something wrong with their phones.
Thanks for the tip
Thanks Sam, I saw this on the JJ review of Nougat. Is this for Nougat as my MM P2 settings don't look like the screenshot.

Hi yes it is for Nougat the comment posted on JJs review regarding this fix was posted by me also.
Confusing settings these as the first one makes it look like enabling the "Restrict background data" option will disable background data, when in fact it does the opposite. You need to have both of these options enabled so the sliders are green, then you need to open Settings > Power Manager > Battery Optimization
Then you need to search for the apps that you need to fix notifications and change the option so it says "Don't optimize". Then the phone won't 'helpfully' close the app when the phone has been unused for a long time. This is why notifications are stopping.
precisely i agree quite confusing it took me a while i had to get a friend to send me whats app messages continuously untill i figured all this out but im glad i finally did.
If you make the changes to fix the notifications, shut down and power the phone back on rather than do a reboot. The settings don't seem to work until the phone has properly rebooted.
Is it worth noting that elsewhere it's stated that turning off doze altogether (using ADB) might be a saner option? Consensus seems to indicate it's basically a curse with little value, and that would certainly hold water in light of the battery capacity of the P2.

JasonMR, Nov 2, 2016 :
Guys, to avoid having to run the ADB command after each reboot follow these instructions (please note, the files should be downloaded to a PC and then transferred to your phone via USB otherwise they mess up sometimes):
You need to enable USB debugging mode in Developer options first
Download and install this apk and transfer it to your phones storage - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxD...w?usp=drivesdk
Then connect phone to PC and allow the drivers to install
Download and install ADB here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0M...ljU2NPR0k/view
Go into the ADB folder, hold shift, right click and select "Open command prompt here"
Type the command: adb devices (now hit enter)
It should return your phones serial number is connected correctly
Run this command in ADB: adb -d shell pm grant com.adamioan.scriptrunner android.permission.DUMP (now hit enter)
Download this file and transfer it to your phones storage - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx...VA4YmxGTS1OX3c
Open the SH Script runner app and tap the three dots in the top right corner, select "Load" and locate the file from teh previous step
Click the Circle button with the play sign at the top of the screen
You should see the message "Idle mode disabled" which means that Doze has now been disabled.
Whenever you reboot your phone, open the SH Script runner and the command will still be there, just click the play button to run the script again.
And that is it, two clicks to disable Doze after each reboot.
Full credit to manototh for putting this together originally.
Doze does not need disabling iff you follow my advice in the initial post i have tried and tested this and can confirm it works fully.
This is really frustrating. No matter what settings I use I still don't get notifications after a while. I don't want to go modifying my phone, can someone post a step by step if they have it working properly?

Follow my ordinal post and also go into battery optimisation and disable optimization for things like sms eggs what's app Facebook etc all the things you need notifications for should be disabled from sleep mode under battery optimization.

Yep doesn't work either.
Perhaps your only option left is to try the disable doze app which has worked for many people but it's a paid app.
Just to update it does seem to be working properly now. I'm not 100% sure but I think turning the phone all the way off and on again instead of rebooting with the settings correct had the desired effect.
This started to happen to my S7 today. I don't know why either. Suddenly blue colored logs started to scroll down the screen when I shutdown or restart. It happens quite quick so getting a picture was almost impossible. Nothing seems to be malfunctioning either.

If that's all I need to do, I won't need to flash anything. I know what I did now. I'll let you know what happens later.
I always found stock pixel color saturation to be a bit washed out. I prefer the look of more saturated color palette. Even choosing "adaptive" color on display options is still not good enough for me.
If you're rooted and want to increase color saturation do the following:
Open any Android terminal with root capabilities, I personally use Termux.
Type "su" and hit enter to grant root privileges. I don't know if it's a necessary step, but I change the directory to the root of the phone by typing "CD /". Then I copy and paste the below code into the terminal. I personally set my "x.x" to 1.25. hit enter and it will automatically take effect. You can change the values at anytime afterwards to go higher or lower. Values will go back to stock after a reboot using this method, so if you don't like it, just reboot to go back to stock values.
"service call SurfaceFlinger 1022 f X.X" (x.x sets saturation up to 2.0)
I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS, but in the past I have used this code to permanently set the saturation level on boot:
Setprop persist.sys.sf.color_saturation X.X
using this, the saturation level will remain to the chosen value on boot. Again, I have not tested this on the pixel 7 Pro.
That's interesting as I also find the "adaptive" setting too washed out on Pixels.
I wonder if this could be used through a root app with more control over colors and such?
works - thank you!

I'm sure it could but that's beyond my capabilities lol l
Gotta wonder what effect this might have on...everything? Battery life...screen life...brightness level adjustments when on auto? YMMV
But what can we use after
"service call SurfaceFlinger 1022 f X.X" to disable if needed ?

I believe 1.0 is the stock value. So you can either enter the line again and replace whatever previous value you used with 1.0, or you could just reboot the device and it'll go back to the stock saturation settings.

It could have a negative effect on battery life....but I would guess its minimal. Been using a custom saturation value for 2 days now, no known issues.
I haven't checked yet but going by previous devices, there is probably a way to access other color modes using tasker. "boosted" has been taken away from the menu, my guess is its still there and can be accessed with tasker. I'll check it if i keep the phone.
Thank you for this, legit the only thing driving me crazy was the dull colors now it looks more like I wanted. You da man.
Glad I could help!
Dope. Going to give this a shot whenever I decide to root.
Now, has this always been a thing? If so, I wish I knew about it so I didn't have to use apps the entire time to tweak it to my liking.

Has anyone tried this? Getting a Parcel Null error when I enter the code. Rooted. That "CD /" comes back as inaccessible too. It's probably me, but not able to get this to work as of now.
Unable to set up after boot, i get the setprop inaccessible
System is read-only for now. There's no rw mount mod so can't really edit build prop to set it on boot. We'll just have to wait for twrp or any system rw mount mod

I get parcell null response as well but it still works.
Also, I just tested changing directory in not necessary so you can skip the "CD /" part.
Trust me on this, run the script with a value of 0.5 and hit enter. Go to your home screen, open apps and scroll through your phone. Then open your emulator again, run the script with a value of 3.0 and hit enter. Then look about your phone it will look completely different. From there, just keep messing around with different values until you get one you like.
