[HOWTO] 4 ways to disable Heads-Up Notifications on Lollipop
Hello, everyone!
I've been asked by a lot of friends on how to disable those notifications which pop up on the top of your phone's screen. They are mistakenly called "pop-up notifications", but their real name is Heads-Up notifications and can be really useful, but sometimes they are extremely annoying. Specially if you need to use a button or something that is located on the top of the screen right when the notification appears. Some ROMs do allow to turn them off in the Settings, but most of them don't.
So in this thread (which is my first here on XDA) I'm gonna put all the info I gathered during my research about disabling the Heads-Up notifications. These methods will COMPLETELY disable them for all applications while MAINTAINING regular notifications in the status bar. All of these methods are free. Some require a rooted device and some don't.

HOW TO DO IT
WITHOUT ROOT
1- ADB method (using your computer) [FREE]
Before trying this method, make sure you have installed Android ADB in your computer, that your phone is connected AND that you have "USB debugging" option enabled in the phone Settings.
If you don't have Android ADB, you can download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118. If you have any questions concerning ADB and how to use it, take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225405
a) Open a terminal and check if the device is connected using the following command:
Code:
adb devices
b) You should see your phone on the list that appears. Now use the following command:
Code:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
c) Reboot your phone.
d) Done!
2- HeadsOff app method [FREE]
a) Install "HeadsOff - TickerOn" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.noheadsup&hl=en
b) Open the application.
c) Disable the Heads-Up notifications clicking on Settings.
d) Select "Start the App" button.
e) If a "Notification access" screen appears, allow the app to control your notifications by ticking it.
f) Reboot your phone.
g) Done!
Obs1.: Apparently there is also a paid version of this application in which you can enable/disable Heads-Up notifications for each individual application on your phone.
Obs2.: Credit for this method goes to user Jawomo, who posted it on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-headsoff-disable-lollipop-heads-t3117929
WITH ROOT
3- Terminal method (directly from your phone) [FREE]
a) Install "Terminal Emulator for Android" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
b) Open the application. Use the following command:
Code:
su
c) The indicator should change from "$" to "#". Do the following command now:
Code:
settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
d) Reboot your phone.
e) Done!
4- aSQLiteManager app [FREE]
a) Install "aSQLiteManager" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.andsen.asqlitemanager&hl=en
b) Open the app and select "Open Database"
c) Press the ".." button until you reach the root folder ("/") and the ".." button disappears (usually three times).
d) Navigate to the following folder, allowing root request if it pops up: "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/"
e) Open the file "settings.db"
f) Select "global".
g) Press "PgDn" until you see the "heads_up_notifications_enabled" entry (on my phone it was the last entry, number 173).
h) Click on the "edit" button, change the "value" field to "0" and click "OK".
i) Reboot your phone.
j) Done!

adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0 disabled all my notifications all together, not just the heads up, my phone is an Asus Zenfone 2 (ASUS_Z00AD) with all the patches up to July 1, 2016
Can you please confirm that this method works in Android N, as its highly demanded..
I can confirm that this worked on my LGv20 Android N, headsup blocked.. Cant be happier than that.. Thank you..
is this method only disable the heads up notification
or can i still get the notification on the status bar?
and how to enable it again?
How do you reenable heads_up_notifications_enabled?
I tried: adb settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 1
but it still doesn't work

You missed "shell" before settings
So
Adb shell settings put global heads_up........ 1
adb confirmed working, just updated my s7 edge to nougat and this issue was frustrating, i also use ticklr app for a preview of notifications without being intrusive
I've wrote simple (50 lines of code) app for enabling and disabling heads from quick settings for Android N
P.S.: Root required. Reboot not required

Thanks Man s7 nougat ZTO Brazil Works

thank you
use steps: 1- ADB method (using your computer) [FREE]
thank you. I think method 3 works for me. I'm using oneplus 3 . and android 7.1.1
any way to get this working on a galaxy s8 ?
first option worked for me, aparently.. zenfone 3 nougat 7.0
Hey, finally got the solution that works with the Galaxy S8!!
---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 AM ----------
But I bet everybody knows it by now... anyway, if someone needs to know it's kinda easy though. Just gotta keep playing with the options. This way, you'll get sound, vibration and an icon on your locked up phone, but not the heads up banner, even if you've unlocked it and are either on the home, apps drawer pages or inside an app or game while using it. After you apply the solution, you need to restart or reboot the phone and that's it.
---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 AM ----------
And as you all probably figure by now, the correct solution seems to be the one proposed by the great (to me anyway because he did it!) rostopira (post #9)! Thanks a lot! I was thinking on moving out to another phone until a solution came but now everything is cool... I know, I know, shouldn't despair and bail out so quickly but whaddayaknow maturity reaches us late in life!

hi, could you please explain the procedure to get it working ?
post number 9 solution needs your phone to be rooted so not much good on the s8 as far as i know ?
thank you
Thanks for asking widget2k13!
Yes of course, you need to be rooted already and as you may guess, yes there's already root and TWRP for the S8. As usual there's already several threads for it here on XDA so I won't go into those details but it's very straight forward and you should be done in about 2 minutes after you download the Magisk version, which comes already with root. Please remember to remove PIN before you do it and all the rest should go easy enough.
Thanks for the help but I was hoping for a fix without root, I've never had a rooted phone and don't want to void my warranty as I took out 2 year extended warranty, having a rooted phone will only benefit me for WhatsApp heads up and nothing else that I can think of.

hi, i managed to root my phones and install the app but i dont see the app anywhere on my phone ?
could you please tell me how to get it working as this was my only reason to root the phone
thank you
Thanks for asking! Actually you won't find the app anywhere, all it does is changing the heads up behavior but remember you need to restart or reboot your phone after you installed it.
So no, you won't need to do anything else, all the while assuming that you've already selected the proper notifications' options under both WhatsApp & Messages own settings.
First time I did it I thought nothing had changed but after I restarted the phone twice I realized it worked!
And it works at least with both Messages & WhatsApp, which were the 2 main concerns of mine at the moment. Now I get vibration, sound, an icon, a hidden banner but no pop-ups or flying banner as before and finally some privacy!
Damn, still not working for me, changed all the settings correctly and restarted phone loads of times, looks like I rooted for nothing lol

Root for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920V (G920VVRU1AOC3///OE2)Before you begin disable your reactivation lock. There's a chance for it to get stuck ON once your device is rooted, which could cause issues with ROMs (unknown currently, but be safe!)
** You can turn it back on once you're rooted. **
WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT ACCEPT OTA "G920VVRU2AOF1" OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROOT USING THIS METHOD. IF YOUR PHONE CAME THIS WAY, I'M SORRY THIS WILL NOT WORK.-About-
Great job Keen Team! Thank you very much for your work and bringing us root! This method and exploit were found by them and orignally posted here. The purpose of this post is to simply 1) Have a dedicated post for root under OUR forums to make it easier for newer members to get their device rooted, and 2) Simplify the installation of SuperSU for those who don't want Kinguser, while also having detailed instructions so the newer/novice users don't get lost.

Original Exploit/Root Team: Keen Team
Original Poster: @idler1984, over here.
Vulnerability: memeda, wushi
Original idea of exploit: memeda
Exploit: idl3r, Qoobee
Testing & SU management: Kingroot team for help testing and great root manager
ADB Line Commands: @Gunthermic at Post#269
-Steps to a rooted device:-
1) Go to Settings -> About phone -> and verify that your Build number (or Baseband version) is "LRX22G.G920VVRU1AOC3//OE2." SW up until "G920VVRU2AOF1" will work with this method.
2) Go to Settings -> Lock screen and security and enable "Unknown Sources" (*You may turn it back OFF once you're rooted, if you'd like*)
3) Plug your phone into your computer.
4) Scroll to the bottom of this post and download "pingpongroot_<ver>.apk" (currently "pingpongroot_beta6.apk").

5) Put the APK on your device; install and then open the application on your phone.
6) Install SuperSU when the install pops up, then open it once and return (you'll get errors in SuperSU as you're not rooted yet) to Ping Pong Root and tap "Get root!" -- if your phone reboots on its own during this, open the app and try again. Once the app finishes rooting your device, close the pop up message and reboot.
~Enjoy.
-FAQ-
Q: Will this trip my Knox Counter?
A: No.
Q: Will this let me flash ROMs/Kernels and have a custom recovery?
A: No. The bootloader is still locked.
Q: Why does my device say "Custom" when booting up?
A: That just means Samsung's system checker sees the su/root. If you flash back to stock using Misterxtc's ODIN files here, then you will no longer be rooted or show "Custom." For now, until the bootloader is unlocked, deal with it if you happen to get caught by the checker.
Q: Does this work on the edge?
A: Not yet.
Q: I'm lost, confused, stuck, or getting errors that are hindering me from root access / SuperSU.
A: Post below, I can help or in the OP for the root method, here. Often your issues can be resolved just by restarting the root process from step one. On my 20th or so rewipe and root, I ran into some issues but just refollowed every step and was fine.
1 post, just in case.
This is rather exciting. I'm staring at my Note 4 which I like better than my s6, but it was never able to get root.
This may be the reason I was looking for to use my s6 over my Note4
Thanks for putting this guide together. Hopefully it should help those new to rooting. I'd add a link to the video as well.
Anyone else having trouble updating binary through chainfires su?

Unroot through the settings in chainfire's SuperSU and reroot if you're having fatal issues that are preventing root/superuser. What errors are you specifically getting with updating the binaries?
At step 10, when I type "su" I get this error:

Open up Kinguser, and then grab a rootchecker app off of the playstore. See if you're properly rooted, if not retry the pingpongroot app.

If you have the time, I'd redo the ADB steps later. Not a big deal since your root access works, but it's nice to keep SU binaries up to date.
This is what I get when trying to install su and binaries. Please help me
I think you're missing a step in number 12. I tried your guide and got an error message so I went to the original post below, then I got it all working right.

Anyone having issues, go ahead and re-do the adb steps. My apologies.
In other news, I'll start working on a cleaned up stock ROM for you guys. Might take awhile due to school and work, but it'll be next on my list (no custom recovery, but FF flash. See Misterxtc's post here.)
I just rooted my phone and things are working great! I have two questions:
1.) Can anyone with more experience than me let me know if we can now install the Stock Samsung Browser as a system app (the stock browser has fingerprint reader as password which is awesome!) Please see the post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xy-s6-apps-t3041330/post59644234#post59644234
2.) Can we modify the build prop or anything to allow us to tether for free without use of FoxFi? I know FoxFi works, but it makes me have a passkey on my phone which I hate. I also tried to install the FoxFi certificate as a system certificate and it still required me to have a passcode for some reason.
Just looking for some guidance! Thank you!
Works awesome! Thanks!!!

Think it was cause you missed a command tryed again worked flawless cannot wait to see youre work
Is this (the superuser part) possible to do with a mac? I downloaded and extracted the ADB folder but cant figure out how to open a command prompt from the folder. (I already rooted but now trying to switch to SU)
What and where can I find the reactivation lock?
Hi, I am compiling this guide for rooting the verizon variant. I also hope to fill in some gaps in the other guides.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS YOU MAY CAUSE OR ENCOUNTER
I did not develop this, I'm only telling you how to do it.
Verizon S7 / S7 Edge [Root Guide] SM-G930V SM-G935V
This worked for me on the June Security patch!
Needed tools:
Mod edit: DevHost links removed
SUPER SU (Note Use this one, Play store varient may cause issues)
**THIS WILL NOT FACTORY RESET THE PHONE... BUT BACKUP JUST INCASE**
Flashing the ENG BOOT:
Open Odin
Put S7 in Download Mode(shut of phone then; hold: power, home, volume down; Then press volume up to enter downlod mode)
In Odin click the AP button and select the TAR: SM-G930 ENG BOOT Or SM-G935 ENG BOOT
check the AP check box
Flash the AP TAR
**THIS TOOK ONLY 5 SECONDS TO FLASH FOR ME THEN IT REBOOTED**
INSTALLING ROOT ACCESS:
Unzip the SuperSU zip file into a folder(For me C:\rootS7 )
Next download & unzip the tools.zip attached this is just the adb tools(Took me forever to find just these )
Move adb.exe and both DLL in tools.zip into your folder... ie C:\rootS7
Enable USB Debugging in developer options on Phone.
Connect phone and double click root.bat in your folder.
Once finished your phone will reboot
Congrats you have ROOT!!!

Phone is running hot:
I have not found an official solution: But you can try coolify or cpuset
Thanks!
Was the overheating issues solved from doing a FDR after the Odin flash? That's what I've read in other posts but wanted to double-check that this was the fix on the Verizon variants.
There are also some things that you can include to fix some of the bugs.
I redid my current post to reflect some new information.
If you download some type of CPU or Kernel editor you can fix the slow/lag of the phone.
Thanks 2swizzle for mentioning this.
If you want to fix the lag/slowness download any CPU or Kernel Editor or changer.
This one works fine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=en
To fix the lag
Open up the APP
Go into the CPU settings
Set CPU Governor to ondemand
Apply on boot (You don't have to.)
You will notice that the phone runs fast as ever.
Will this process work on the Tracfone G930VL variant? I've heard that it's a variant of the Verizon model, but I'm not sure if the exact same process will work here.
Just did this myself. Root works fine, and I even got Xposed installed using FlashFire.
A few bugs, though:
1. The WiFi one (easily fixed)
2. A weird VoLTE icon in the status bar
3. Phone shows "Searching for Service" for a few minutes after reboot, even though service is already acquired and working while it's displaying this
4. And the biggest one: CPU governor is set to performance by default, which oddly enough causes the phone to lag like crazy and heat up to ridiculous temps. This is fixed by setting the CPU governor in Kernel Auditor, but still pretty annoying. Hopefully this can be more permanently fixed at some point.
Other than those few things, though, it's working well!

@Linooneguy In a perfect World Yes... Since the bootloader is locked it is nearly impossible to hard brick. Thus Give it a shot, worst comes to worst Factory reset. Good Luck:good:
BE SURE TO BACKUP
Setting the CPU governor to ondemand should fix both the lag and heat of the phone.

What I did:

2. Flashed the following xposed framework with flashfire using the default settings.
3. Done

I found a link to that particular xposed version in another thread and it worked perfectly for me. Knox is still good and everything.
I followed the steps and ended up getting a pop-up that wants me to restart because of a security issue says dm-verity verification failed error in recovery, any work around i tried re-downloading and reflashing three times

Disable SecurityLogAgent to get rid of the warning. I also have a bug, I cannot seem to change from charging when connecting the usb to my computer. It was working fine before root, and I have tried starting completly over by flashing the original Verizon files in odin before rooting.
Glad to see root established though I like having Samsung Pay. Not sure I want to part with it just yet. Also, am I to understand one has to re-root upon every reboot?
Does the hotspot work ?

I have that problem too, and I also cant send sms properly.
I got my Rooted LS996 ZV9 into bootloop (secure boot error) while trying to install xposed with flashfire!
Couldn't return back to normal (via LGUP needed ZV9 tot file for that which cant be found right now)
Update 1 :- All thanks to Alex_XV6700, and pelelademadera; Downloaded n Flashed ZV8 tot using LGUP tool over my rooted-unlocked stuck ZV9, then flashed ZV9 img rooted file over ZV8 using Jmd.Desai's bypass method to copy ZV9rooted img file to my phone memory via File Explorer launched via playstore itself (JMD.DESAI method below). The phone booted up. But then its stuck in the "Configuring your phone screen again" see the SS!

Update 2 :- The phone is now functional to some extent thanks to Jmd.Desai's step-by-step tutorial to bypass LG FRP lock screen. You need to have root access to allow disabling the LG Setup Wizard. That will after a few minutes bring your homescreen launcher option up
RECENT Apps not working, NOTIFICATIONS not working, SWIPE DOWN quick settings not working; phone actually becomes a Nokia3310.. . SS attached for current state!
Update 3 :- This is where my experiment worked! Restart the phone at least once so some settings settle down on system level. Download Shortcut Master (lite) and search for "user" via menu. Results will bring us a lot of options. We need to find the "com.google.android.setupwizard.user.WelcomeActivity" like in this SS - >
Launch this option and press Next or Okay whatever appears on the screen and the Wizard screen will close down!
Next scroll down and find "com.google.android.setupwizard.user.SetupCompleteActivity" like in this SS - >
Launch this option as well. And finish the LG Setup Wizard. Yes Niggah we're all set to roll our LS996 ZV9 rooted; ask me if you don't understand anything and please press thanks for everyone who helped me! :fingers-crossed::laugh:
P.S. Don't get rolling over me if you kill your device anywhere; I've tried to be as crystal clear as possible! Thank you everyone who participated in this war against terrorism (okay sorry) :silly:
you still have your rootedsystem.img in your internal storage?
LG becomes more ridiculous over the time, They couldn't even build a kdz file for one of their phones. Sorry man I hope you get a solution.
ZV8 tot method worked!

BINGO! Thanks to Alex_XV6700, (I love him! He's the bro) I flashed ZV8 tot posted here and the phone has booted! But I'm stuck on the activation screen right now LOL
Okay now I'm stuck on "Configuring your phone" screen after flashing.. Receiving calls but can't do anything else :-/
Screenshot in 1st post (OP)
clear data from recovery , reboot the phone ,
1] connect to wifi 1
2] connect to wifi 2 (just start hotspot from anywher, - the purpose is just to invoke connection optimizer)
3]next , next till configuring screen
4] When you are on configuring screen , after some time (may even take 30minutes) a dialog/message box of connection optimizer will pop up, scroll down on that and press "here". It will open chrome.
5] In chrome , press menu -> help and feedback->menu -> view in play store.
6]In play store open google (search) app and open it . Search for settings and open it .
7]In settings , goto apps -> find setup wizard , force stop and disable it.
At this point you have successfully bypassed configuring screen.Then on what you do next is up to you!!

All of this actually worked aside from the searching for SETTINGS, that I did with a Shortcut Maker App. But after force closing LGSetupWizard, there was no Disable option lighting and the phone came back to the same situation after I kept clicking BACK touch button! What am I doing wrong?
What i did was root the device and then via root disable app disabled setup wizard?

That will not work untill the system is actually activated not bypassed and idk how to do that !!
If you can anyhow find any option to factory reset from settings then it solves the problem.In other devices , new user acc. is created and factory reseted from there but that option is not available in gf2.

Everything has started working but my Flex 2 is currently acting like a Nokia 3310
No multi-tasking, no notifications, like a wife who is mad at you for multiple reasons but is still living with you lololol
Now comes in more research work for me Haha but anyways thanks a lot bro! I'll give you credit for making my phone usable to some extent
Do let me know if you find something out for making it work fully in LGgf2
UPDATE - I found a fix (See OP) and bro-hug
So LG prevents you from starting System UI tuner, because the activity is disabled. Even after enabling it and starting it, the UI is just blank. But I hate the little alarm icon in my status bar. So I found this page:
https://newcircle.com/s/post/1745/2015/07/10/tweaking-system-ui-tuner
I can confirm modifying the icon_blacklist works.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
adb shell su -c pm enable com.android.systemui/.tuner.TunerActivity
adb shell am start com.android.systemui/.tuner.TunerActivity
Question..
Can we enable the UI tuner using any command, so we can access it through the device like pixel devices, if yes how? And does that need rooting?
This question is related to few threads here about the peeking "heads up" notification that we can't control in our LGv20, if you can help, lots of users will be grateful..
Simplifying the process for just that purpose will help lots of users who are annoyed by not being able to stop the peeking without muting the whope notification per app..
Do we have to be rooted for this?
I want the embedded battery percentage and would like to remove the alarm and Bluetooth icons too
I can confirm this working using the adb, my confirmation is related to blocking the headsup notification on Android N LGv20
Update:
Already did it, worked, no root, directly using adb, blocked headsup finally.. My device lgv20 Android N
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
That should do the trick, for all of you trying to disable peek/heads_up notifications.

what are you trying to disable. the heads up ones in the 2nd screen?

Does it need unlock the Bootloader?

An Android thing, which LG disabled. I'm sure it can be enabled by decompiling the systemui apk.

No, we want to keep the notifications in the second screen. We don't want them on the main screen, which that command solves.

yes the notifications stays in the the second screen, kind of moving/forcing the heads up from the main screen to the second screen.
Did not work for me.
I still have locked bootloader and no root on my Tmobile v20 but some said it will work on devices like this but when I try i get not found or does not exist

Try updating adb/tools.
I'm guessing if you don't have 6.0+ tools it may not work.
Edit: Looks like your first command didn't work either

This is the command you want to run to disable the heads up notifications:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
The one your trying to run activates the UI Tuner which doesn't function correctly anyways from what it looks like (and the command to do that requires SU (superuser/root))

none of them worked and my adb shows ver 1.0... the one everybody uses to root
still too much confusion with root with twrp and backup , encryption etc. some people format the data and lost the os altogether , scary stuff.
still holding , waiting for easier way to root

My assumption is that its device related, meaning if the device was supplied by a network provider, or unlocked.. Mine was unlocked. Again am assuming but might be the reason. Mine is H990 dual sim unlocked
Wow, thanks for this thread. Was able to get rid of the stupid alarm clock always being on along with a few other notifications. Was a piece of cake!!

I Added Proof In Attachments Check them
Ok, I have a problem with the adb, I tried many times but it still freezing and my cellphone screen too, I searched in the internet many ways to mount the system partition as read and write but all failed. Im thinking that the problem is the nougat version, I have the J1 and Im downloading the D1. Pst, the drivers and the cables are ok, I used another adb codes and they worked.
Seems like it only works on Qd1, so if have updated QI1 or QJ1, got to flash back to Qd1 to get it to work
...
I flashed DQD1 via Odin and after that, I flashed the .tar, but it still freezing my screen, I tried first without flashing the .tar because after flashing the firmware, the custom logo appeared. But again, the adb process failed, itsn freezed like the other but was unable to copy the su.img
---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------
I did the same process that you made, so, I don't know why this happen, can you please assist this?? The phone doesn't matter, I just want to prove if this really work. I'll be amazed if this really do.
I´m facing the same problem on my device as @NerdTronik , just frezes when try to remount system as rewritable.. No succes as yet and I'm on Qd1 with the same kernel version.. Dont know How you Got to succesfully Remounted the system..
Another one stuck scratching my head with the phone locking when the batch script gets to the first adb shell mount command. The flash to DQD1 (from here, all 4 files) went fine. Flashed the new boot image without issue, reboot reflects custom image. Enabled debugging, connected with ADB, but that mount would be the final thing that would occur. Hoping this is just something we need clarified in the instructions.
Ok for all of your problem tonight i will make a youtube video learn how to root with the proof of it ☺?
Thanks for the root! Tell me, after I get the root of what custom firmware I can put? I understand you only need the development of verizon?
I did a Google for the the boot image file name and came across this link:
http://www.techzai.com/eng-root-file-samsung-android-7-nougat/
NOTE: I accessed this via Google's cache, and with NoScript plugin in Firefox. The firewall I was accessing through blocked the site for a reason... unsure if that could be that it isn't safe, work just didn't want me going there during business, etc. Go at your own risk.
But one thing that was noted in those instructions was to not only enable USB Debugging, but to also enable OEM Unlock in the developer options.
The thread for the S7 (which I think would apply but we just need to use the later released S6 boot image) mentions disabling secure startup. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Might have time to play around with this more during the coming weekend, but maybe @faw_wal or another member will get additional info before then.

Oh nice, it's just seems impossible until somebody find the method to write in the system partition, in the thread you posted here, there was a man saying that we need to flash or do something before run root.bat, he didn't checked before but, sounds like a development.
