[Q] How to add image in notification menu in lollipop? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello xda
I wanted to know how to add an image in notification bar. I tried searching it on Google but wasn't able to find a solution. I am pretty sure it can be done. Had done it KitKat. Unable to do it in lollipop.
I have attached an image just in case. The thing at top right..

Isn't that tied to your google+ account photo?

He is asking about the background.
Xposed modules can do that.Maybe some custom ROMs have that option.

I never saw such a feature with custom roms so your best bet is Xposed modules IMO.
A technical option would be to modify your Systemui.apk.

[Q] Disable Ticker Animation (Notification Privacy)

I am talking about Paranoid Android's very useful tweak. The "Do Not Disturb" option in settings menu where it completely disables the ticker animation whenever there's a notification.
This is a great tweak for me because whenever a friend borrows my phone to browse the web or to send an sms, he/she sees the COMPLETE incoming text thru the ticker animation. This is really an annoying accidental invasion of my privacy.
"So why don't you just use paranoid android rom?"
Well, because that mod is the only reason i was able to stick to that rom for almost 2 weeks.
I am more than willing to create a custom rom that suits my exact preferences but i lack the time and skills to do it.
Okay so i've searched EVERYWHERE (trust me) but i can't find an individual mod that does exactly this.
Thanks for reading and I am very grateful if anyone answers. :good:

Does it only affect SMS/MMS? If so, the mod can probably be cleanly packaged into a modded mms.apk and the setting option/toggle moved from PA settings to mms settings. Can't say, never used it, but someone with time on their hand can probably track it in the PA git.

It affects all ticker animations that pop up on the status bar whenever there's a notification.
For example, when i turn the feature on and i use titanium backup to do a batch restore, the icon is still there but there will be no ticker animation.
It's quite redundant if you ask me.

Still not possible thru stock SMS. I use Textra SMS and it's got the option to hide the ticker animation

Still no luck? I am searching everywhere, like you, but I can't find a mod for this. It is found in Cataclysm rom, but I can't understand why this is not asked for more. Every rom should have a preference to disable all notification tickers.

I learned to accept the fact that noone will make a stand-alone mod (or even an app) for this specific feature.
I am in exactly the same boat.. I don't know how many hours I've spent looking around and found nothing.
I need to specifically for WhatsApp; no such luck.
Did you guys find anything?

No luck here. Almost 2 years looking around.
If I had a better idea how ROMs work.. I would've had a look at the one you mentioned in your OP and maybe create an XPOSED mod..

Yes. I have also seen those settings on mahdi last week
So nobody has helped you yet? Strange.
Decompile SystemUI with ApkTool (Import the framework, decompile)
Open res/values/bools
Modify the string <bool name="enable_ticker">true</bool> TO <bool name="enable_ticker">false</bool>
Recompile the app with apktool using the command: apktool b -c SystemUI.apk.
DONE

And I already switched to another device.

Xposed Lockscreen Notifications Module?

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knows of a module for lockscreen notifications is being worked on or if there will be one?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Hi,
Maybe it's this that you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501926? (note sure)?
Or take a look here for a complete list of Xposed modules: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327541.
I would love to know this as well I find myself not wanting to flash any roms that don't have it.
Try this out along with the Floating Panels add on for it. No reason to not try a ROM out because an "app" not a "feature" is not preinstalled .

I would call it a feature not an app. Those while similar are not the same thing. Thanks though.
Here you go☺
Check out Xblast tools. It has lock screen notifications under the XLocky tab.

[Q] HELP me get rid of Google Now triangle from lockscreen

Guys,
Can somebody tell me how can I remove that little triangle showing in the bottom center of the lockscreen that is used to launch google search ??
It actually is interfering with my Home button on the Navbar as it doesnt disappear after unlocking and in turn shows up behind the Navbar Home button. I have attached the screenshot for your reference (Look at what I have encircled in red in the bottom center of the screen).
I am using Omnirom on my N5
Let's start with "what mod/app did you install on top of your ROM that gave you that little triangle"? The stock ROM doesn't seem to have that.
Ummmm... I dont think i installed any such mod which could have enabled this.. Can you suggest me something???
And the stock omni has one.. I just checked it out.. check the 2nd pic in the attachment in the link that you posted.. Can you see that triangle?

My guess would be it's a bug in the ROM. That arrow is only supposed to be visible on the lockscreen when you don't have a navigation bar. What happens when you tap on the triangle? Does it function as the home button or not? Is there anything in the Omnirom settings to configure the nav bar?
I would say either take it to the Omnirom thread and see if anyone else is having the issue or try flashing another ROM.
okies.. thanks..

I don't think it has anything to do with Omnirom as I'm having the same problem and don't have Omnirom. I'm just running Xposed and Gravity Box and this stupid little arrow has been driving me nuts for about six weeks now.
I though it might have to do with NotificationMod Xposed module so I uninstalled it but it still appears.

Me neither. And from all of my Google searching it seems that you, me and one other person who posted on XDA are the only people experiencing this haha.
I threw a post onto r/Nexus5 hoping someone there might be able to lend some insight and linked this post along with the other post.
Sorry...it wouldn't let me link the Reddit post since I'm a newbie here.

Are you running Xposed or GB as well?
If you are, we can try and see which modules we have in common.
Also, I just remembered I messed up flashing something last week and had to factory reset and the arrow is still appearing so it's definitely a bug in some app.

Looks like we overlap with:
ActivityForceNewTask
Android L Navigation Bar
SoftKeysFadeMod
Xposed GEL Settings
I've disabled SoftKeysFadeMod and am going to look through GEL Settings to see if there's an option to disable GN on lock screen.
I'll probably put my money that SoftKeysFade is the issue.

Try disabling Xposed completely, not just individual modules.

You have multiple mods that have to do with the navbar. Any one of those could be causing the problem. Try disabling them and reboot.

[Q] White Hyperlinks?

Hello all. I am currently running a custom 4.4.4 rom on my d2lte and I am having a really annoying issue. Every rom, theme, or display option I change, hyperlinks in Google Play and some halo based roms (such as reddit sync, messaging, etc.) always show up white. I have confirmed this issue with SOKP and with C-Rom and another rom whose name I cannot remember. But each rom seems to have the same, reoccurring, annoying issue. Links will appear as if they aren't even there, but once tapped, they do work. It is just immensely frustrating to not be able to see links on Google Play or in my messages.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how I can fix it? I have scoured Google and duckduckgo for some answers, but I couldn't find any, unfortunately. Perhaps there is some sort of modification I can do to change the global hyperlink color (or an xposed module that could help me do this)?

Sorry, apparently you can't edit the colour as mentioned here:https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-developers/XCw0uKhcE5A
Hopefully it will be fixed in an update
Hello,
I have the same problem (ROM is SOKP) and it also applies to some numbers (e.g. in whatsapp or price tags in play store).

Remove OK Google and Camera shortcut from lockscreen

As the title reads, I want to remove the lock screen camera and ok google shortcuts. Function shortcuts are off in settings and I have none defined in GravityBox but those are still there. This on a 6045I, stock 6.0.1, rooted and Xposed.
Please don't ask why I want to do that, I just want them gone.
Thanks for any help.
David C.
no way to give them away unless you recompile framework-res or launcher.apk. Or just use another lockscreen app.

Strange, you would think they would give us the option completely considering there is a function for that already.
Thanks

Got it!!
There is an Xposed module called Clean Lockscreen that lets you select what to display and what not to on the lockscreen. Very efficient. Now how do I changed this post tittle as SOLVED?
