Notification options for the Pixel C - Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my Pixel C for a week now and I love it! It's a great device, the only option to replace my old Nexus 10...
There is one thing I'm missing, though: notifications! OK, I knew before it does not have a notification LED and no vibration. But at least I hoped for ambient display notifications. I can't find it in the settings...
What other options are there? Or am I the only one missing this?

Lockscreen apps and notifications

Has anyone had any success with lockscreen apps, particularly those which allow customisation of notifications.
I've long been a fan of notific and acdisplay on my nexus 5, but on this phone there are a mix of problems. Some or all of these happen:
music player controls aren't available on the lockscreen (rdio/tunein radio/poweramp/ etc.)
the custom notifications don't appear
the alarm doesn't appear on the lockscreen (gentle alarm)
Or is this just the way LG has customised the OS? It's also mildly infuriating that you can't double-tap to open a notification (you need to either expand it first or swipe separately)
Interesting no one has commented about this since.
I find it mildly annoying after getting accustomed on the z3 and n6, double tapping a notification from the lock screen to open it. The g4 doesn't and it requires yo u to swipe unlock.
Unless there is a setting or another method I'm missing?

Alert slider options?

Is there any custom ROMs or tweaks out that can change the functions of the alert slider?
I would love to have one for silent, vibrate, and ring. I am not really a huge fan of the priority and silent options that are available now.
If there isnt anything out now, I think it would be awesome to see someone come out with a lot of customizable options for the alert slider or maybe even the recent and back buttons if possible.
Also, was there any customization on the Oneplus 2 alert slider?
As far as your first question, you may want to specify your device. The alert slider on the OnePlus 2 should have minor customization from Oxygen OS. But as far as I know its only to the point of what each profile does. I haven't heard of any modules or other ROMs that give you the option to change what they do.

I posted in the OnePlus 3 Q&A so I figured everyone would know. I made a reference to the OnePlus 2 to see if anyone knew about any changes with the alert slider to see if there was a possibility to do the same to the OnePlus 3.

OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X has an xposed module called Alert Slider where you can set the slider to silent, vibrate and ring.
But this is not working for OnePlus 3.

Very interessting discussion.
I for myself dont really use that slider. For the same reason the OP was talking about. I just use silent everything for the night, vibrate during work, tone for the rest, thats all. That would be perfect for the slider options.
Thanks for bringing this up

Exactly same setting is required in my case. Silent at night with no ring and vibration just alaram, Vibrate at work with no ring for calls, Tone for rest all calls and sounds.

I think it would be a great addition to OxygenOS. I just don't see many people really using the existing features that are in there now. I think it would see much more use if it had ring, vibrate, and silent functions.
Actually this works perfectly for me: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...h-between-ring-vibrate-vibrate-silent.451867/

This app works for OnePlus 2 and I hope it would work on OnePlus 3 in a next update.
Edit. It should work with OnePlus 3 as well but at the moment there are some bugs in all OOS3 versions:

I was running either bliss or vanilla unicorn and it had slider settings you were able to tweak built in.

Launch Clock/Calendar from Notification Tray?

Running a couple different CM13 ROMs on my two Note 3s, one feature they have that I love is the ability to tap the time display in the notification tray to launch the alarm settings, and tapping the date will launch the default calendar app.
Doesn't seem to do it on my shiny new Z Play though. Anyone know of a way to enable this?

Question Is there a way to change lockscreen shortcuts?

With Android 12, Google brought back the lock screen shortcuts on Pixels, but they're not very useful for me: the device controls and your mobile wallet. You have to unlock your phone anyway before using either, and I have quick settings to use once unlocked, so lockscreen shortcuts don't really do anything for me.
Is there any way to change those shortcuts? Presumably with adb or something. I'd rather have the old camera and assistant shortcuts.
Pixel 6P, not rooted, full stock, all software up to date.
I don't really get it: you can always disable those two shortcuts on the lock screen setting if you don't really like them; and for the two which you are looking for, Google implemented them in gesture with the power button: one long click for Google Assistant and double quick clicks for the camera.
And if you are rooted, @Typhus_ 's Add_On magisk module has a feature to put the camera short cut on the lock screen.
I don't want them disabled, I like having something there. I just want something else.

Samsung S20 Auto Expand First Notification

Man, I was just using my wife's Pixel 6 and it has this cool feature where the first notification in the dropdown "list" is always "auto-expanded". Can the S20 do this somehow? I hate always having to expand each notification to take the subsequent actions that a lot of them have. For example, if someone sends me a text and I view its notification, I have to manually expand it to read all of it and then "mark as read". This is annoying if I have many notifications I have to go through. If there was a way to auto expand the top one, then as I go through each one, the top one is already expanded. Pixel 6 nails it. Samsung S20... so far... not so much.
