Frustrated former iPhone user here. How can I get my notifications on my One Plus to display in chronological order with the most recent at top? This is the simple default in iOS yet I can't figure it out on Android. I'm missing important text messages because I will have notifications from 6 to 8 hours ago on top of my notifications list!

Dear reader, I want to make the transition from IOS to Android and I have detailed requirements to the software and hardware of my new Smartphone maybe you can give me your opinion on one or more of this topics:
So basically I want to buy the smartphone which fits the requirements the most. The importance is descend.
I do not care about the price nor the size of the Device.
1. I want to use the Device and the operations System Version as long as possible and if possible set up everything once and then only update Apps if I have to. And do not update the OS because this means all my Xposed Tweaks are gone and there is maybe no version out for the new OS.
For my Iphone I manageed it to use IOS 5.1.1 for up to three years.
2. I want to be able to customize my Statusbar, Lockscreen, physical Buttons on the phone, Notifications ...
I am so used to the following features:
2.1 - In Android world you would call this: Xposed Module Repository -> Physical Button Music Control
2.2 - I need a method that the phone is silent ( no vibration too ) and only wakes up the screen if an email, whatsapp arrives, BUT all calls ( unknown, in contact list, supressed number ) will vibrate or only wake display or vibrate and ring. At least the options for the calls should be easy accessible and I need an icon in the Statusbar that tells me something like: Warning you phone will not vibrate/sound if somebody calls you.
2.3 I want to have the Day,Date in the statusbar eg. "Mo23.02"
2.4 I need reminders that will stay on the Lockscreen
2.5 I need if I get notifications like a new mail, whatsapp message, or facebook message, that this message will be displayed with a preview on the lockscreen and stay on the lockscreen until it is marked as read ( In IOS they without Jailbreak Tweak they dissapear after the first unlock )
2.6 I need that my calender events are shown on the lockscreen
3 Genreally I want a clear structured layout, no fancy animations but to be able to customize behavior of the phone as much as possible. I do not need the newest autofocus, fingerprint technical gadet stuff, but the phone should be as fast as possible. I need it to enhance my productivity in daily life and want to set it up once and use it as long as possible without reconfig it
4 So does this mean go to CM or are there Stock ROMS who can be customized with Xposed Framework very good.
Which Phone in the High End sector can you recommend? Which one is famous for supporting CM or XposedFramework on stock very good ?

Hello,

I have good news and bad. There’s a new, candy-themed version of Android. Huzzah! But unless you have one of the latest Nexus devices or the new LG V20, you’ll probably have to wait some indeterminable amount of time to sink your teeth into Android 7.0 Nougat.
Here’s a very specific kind of dumbness that my fellow Androidians may be able to relate to: On the desk in front of me sits a brand spanking new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and a three-year-old Asus Nexus 7 tablet. Nougat arrived on Aug. 22, but neither the S7 Edge nor the tablet from the Nexus family of devices that’s supposed to get these updates pronto have received Android 7.0.
WTF, Alphabet?
The Nougat rollout is already shaping up to be yet another frustratingly prolonged Android update. I love me some Android, but boy do these rollouts stand in stark contrast to the lightning-quick updates delivered en masse to our iOS brethren. (What’s up, iOS 10!)
The Android conundrum is a classic clusterfudge of too many interested parties: Google releases a new version of Android each year and gives it to the world for free, just like Apple. BUT then the two processes begin to diverge. Each device manufacturer (your Samsungs, LGs, and HTCs of the world) feels compelled to create their own spin on Android, which requires further tinkering and testing before it’s let loose into the wild. THEN the carriers have to confirm all these various flavors of Android work nicely with their networks. Oy.
There is, however, one upside to working with all these chefs—many new ideas get into the mix. It’s a weird form of bottom-up democracy where each OEM adds their own little flavor (including all new features), which Google often makes standard in future generations of Android (e.g. the ability to reply to an SMS directly in the notification shade, which you can now do in stock Nougat, but has been available in Samsung phones for several generations). While Apple users are usually the first to receive the latest stable release of a new OS, Android users are often the first to get a splashy new software feature. (Enjoy your latest up-to-date OS, Appleface, I’ll just be over here enjoying my live-updating widgets #boom.)
New things that now come standard inside the stock version of Nougat. Note that I tested these on a new Nexus 6P. Some of these features may not be available on your device whenever you eventually get Nougat, and I cannot guarantee that they will work in exact same way. Good luck, people.
Nougat
Split-Screen Mode
Split-screen functionality might not seem all that new since it’s already available in numerous OEM versions (the Galaxy Note, for example, has included it for several generations now). But now it’s available as a stock feature and may be coming to your device soon eventually maybe.
Split-screen works in portrait and landscape modes. When you have one app open, you can simultaneously access another app by long-pressing the recent apps button (the little square one) to prompt a carousel of apps on the side. (You’ll notice that once you enter split-screen mode, the recent apps button transforms into a new hamburger icon.) You have some limited ability to resize windows (but only in portrait mode?). You can exit spit-screen by dragging the barrier all the way to one side or long-pressing on the recent apps button.
Note: Not all apps yet work with split-screen. For example (and quite surprisingly), the Google Search app doesn’t play nicely with split-screen (but you work around that by long-pressing on the home button for Google on Tap).
Android 7.0
Quick Switch
Nougat now allows you to switch back and forth between the two most recent apps by double tapping the recent app button—it works in split-screen or full-app mode. Seems like this helpful little trick should have been a standard feature a long time ago.
Android 7.0
The Secret ‘UI Tuner’
To enable the hidden “UI Tuner” menu, swipe down the notification shade and long-press the gear icon you would use to get to Settings. You’ll find a new menu in your Settings menu under the “System” section. Enacting this feature prompts a warning that you’re about to encounter “experimental features” that “may change, break, or disappear in future releases. Proceed with caution.”
Here you’ll find some cool options like the ability to tweak the status bar, the “Do not disturb” feature, or even add swipe-up, split-screen functionality.
Have fun exploring, but keep in mind that there’s a good chance you won’t be able to use this one. The UI Tuner was available in stock Marshmallow, but didn’t quite make it to my current Samsung phone’s version of 'Mallow. I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that this feature will not be available in most OEM versions of Android. But give it a shot, who knows, you might get lucky?
Android 7.0
Easy Pull-Down Shade Editing
Want easy access to tiles of your choice through the top pull-down shade? Nougat’s got your back.
Once you pull down the top shade, expand the little arrow on the right to see a fuller list of easy-access tiles (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, etc.). Nougat gives you some freedom to choose which tiles live there permanently. Just hit the “edit” button on the bottom-right corner to access the complete list of tiles, and you can drag to re-order.
Another welcome change: The pull-down shade allows you to swipe left or right to multiple pages to access more tiles. You could, theoretically put all your tiles up there for quick access.
enter image description here
Power Notifications
Are you a total control freak? Well, Nougat gives you some more of that control you need, you power-hungry monster.
First, you’ll need to enact the aforementioned hidden UI Tuner and then toggle-on “Power notification controls” (under the “Other” menu). This gives you the opportunity to set app notifications on a scale from Level 0 (Block all notifications) all the way up to Level 5 (Show at the top of the notification list, allow full-screen disruption).
Now, when you go into Settings > Notifications, you’ll be able to set each of your app’s notification level after tapping the large green “A” to the slide’s left (which I assume stands for “auto”?).
enter image description here
Easy Notification Editing
Nougat gives you the ability to easily access app-notification preferences by long-pressing on a particular notification in the pull-down shade or slightly pushing it to either side to reveal a little gear icon. This little trick even works on the lock screen.
enter image description here
Set a Separate Wallpaper for Lock and Home Screens
This feature was already available from many OEMs, but finally makes its long-overdue stock debut with Nougat. It’s simple to access: Long-press on the home screen to change the wallpaper image (as you would usually) and once you choose which pic you want, you’ll be met with a screen asking if you’d like to make that wallpaper for your home screen, lock screen, or both.
enter image description here
Display Size
Are your eyes not what they used to be? By which I mean, do you need things to be BIGGER so you can see them properly? Well, ol’ stock Android might be able to help.
You can now change the “display” size on your device to embiggen all the text and icons. Access this option via Display > Display size to choose between five different settings.
enter image description here
Easter Egg
And of course, as always, Google engineers make sure to never miss an opportunity to show the world that they suffer from an overabundance of free time. Yes, Nougat has a hidden Easter egg.
The last two Android OSes have boasted hidden Flappy Bird games with either Marshmallow or Lollipop themes. It was super hard, and I always just got bored and frustrated. But Nougat changes it up with some kind of weird cat game. Okay, this one’s a little complicated, so here’s what you do:
You initially access this Easter egg like the others: Settings > About Phone > repeatedly tap “Android 7.0” (or whatever version you have) to prompt a giant Nougat logo (a big “N”).
Loooooong tap the logo until you see a little cat emoji at the bottom of the screen.
Swipe down from the top to bring up the notification shade.
Hit “Edit” and scroll down and you’ll find a little cat face icon with the label “??? Android Easter egg.” Drag and drop that above the fold wherever you’d like.
Now when you swipe down the shade, you’ll see a tile for “empty plate.” Tap that to prompt a choice of four cat treats and choose one.
Now, wait. Eventually your phone will notify you that you’ve caught a cat. Have fun with that.
thanks for your information
Don't know where else to put this rant, but here it goes:
I completely understand why Android and iOS copy certain features from each other. They often help improve the user experience for both operating systems. However, the one feature Android got wrong by copying iOS is the stupid, and highly intrusive notification banner.
Up until Android KitKat (4.X), Android notifications came in the form of an non-intrusive and ultra-informative ticker that scrolled across the status bar. Since Android Lollipop (5.X), the tickers have been replaced with banners that cover 20% (I didn't actually measure, but you get the point) of the screen, restricting your view when using another app.
I can't stand it when I'm watching a video and a banner drops down covering part of the screen, causing me to rewind a few seconds to see what I missed. Yes, it can be swiped away immediately, but I prefer to read the notification's content before deciding to swipe it away in case it's important. A notification ticker would be less intrusive and still allow me to see who the notification is from and even the content of the message without restricting my view of the media I'm consuming; thereby, allowing me to choose whether or not to act on it.
And to make matters worse, the only options we have are to disable the banners completely, leaving me without a good way to see critical notification info without leaving the app. I know I can have an icon show in the status bar instead, but that doesn't tell nearly enough information. Please ANDROID - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the option to have notifications shown as a ticker in the status bar!

I totally agree with you. i found an app called Edge Mask that might be what you want. I used it for quite some time but uninstalled it when it started being buggy. Have a go at it and see if helps. I think they had a update recently, might give it a try myself.
Hi all,
I'm an indie developer from near Hamburg, Germany. My problem was, that I constantly missed appointments and birthdays. So I started looking around for suitable apps. Only one app met my requirements, but you couldn't swipe away the notification. So like most of you, I decided to develop my own first app.
What is the main feature?
- Set a time and receive a daily notification with all your upcoming events and birthdays for the next days
2. What else can I do?
- Change the layout of the notification
- Open each event from the notification
- Set custom event filter, customize displayed information, use dark mode ...
3. Sweet, but aren't there already ton of apps, which can do that?
- There are indeed some apps with similar features, but none of them is designed as a notification. They all are widgets and are not swipeable.
4. Ok, I want to download this amazing app.
- Free version with no Ads. Check it out!
I would love some feedback and I hope some of you might find it useful
Kind regards,
Martin
Hi everyone, I encounter an issue which I think is due to OneUI 4 and Android 12. Here's the thing.
I bought the S22 Ultra which is my very first Samsung over Android 10 (my last one was a Note 9 which latest firmware is OneUI 2.5 on official version) and one of the features I was waiting for with this Android upgrade is the conversation bubbles, a very good feature to me. I'm able to enable this feature for stock messaging app and Slack, but this option does not exist on Messenger, WhatsApp/Business, Skype, Telegram X (I had to switch to Telegram classic for now) and Discord (maybe much more, but I don't use lots of instant messaging apps). I tried an ADB command to enable the bubble feature system-wide, but it's not working either.
I did the good thing I think to enable bubbles, which is going to "Settings > Notifications > Advanced settings > Floating notifications > Bubbles" then on the apps it's working on I went to "[App] > Notifications > Notification category > Bubble display ("Affichage sous forme de bulles" in french) > All".
Does someone of you have an idea of what's happening ? Am I doing something wrong ? Is there a misconfigured setting ? Is there something missing since OneUI4 ?
Have a nice day
Livier

No idea. I only use messages and messenger. The latter used to work as well, even on my pixel 4xl. When I got the 6 pro then now the ultra, chat heads within messenger is what I have to use now. I'm pretty sure it's an A12 issue.
