From veteran to n00b lol, feels like annoying fresh start with not being able to post in all forums after that many years @ XDA, but clean starts are good for you (really).
With some black magic and a lot of cash I decided to get PXL and thinking of staying clean (not rooted) this time.
I unlocked bootloader and flashed @franciscofranco kernel and that's all. As I can not post in dev thread, can a good soul explain if and what am I missing without root? I almost never change anything in FKU so anything else that is not there or there's no francos magic because of no root?
And yeah, I do miss Naptime. I know..
Thanks a bunch,
V
I am stock Franco rooted. If I unroofed there are four things I would miss a great deal. High brightness mode in FKU. It is key for using my phone for navigation on my motorcycle. Later on as he finishes development for our kernel I would also miss performance profiles. I like his power saving profile.
Ad blocking and themes are the other two not related to Franco.

I REALLY appreciate the high brightness mode and Viper4Android.
Thanks to all. So far so good. Maybe if we have @franciscofranco AK2 kernel I'll root.
[edit: it doesn't.] Anyone knows if Magisk works with Pixel? Oh, well I may just go to Magisk forums and find out myself, but XDA app is acting up

man wish someone would have told me about this before I forked over 7 dollars haha. will try it and see how it goes!
Primarily I root for GMD Gesture Controls so that I can set up custom edge gestures for easy one handed operation using a bunch of thumb swipe gestures from either edge of the screen (and many more multi-finger gestures on screen). By setting up edge gestures I no longer have to reach for the back, home or recents buttons for example but beyond that I can pull up any other app or shortcut I wish to program to whichever gesture I choose to record.
Second to that would be a tie between Tasker and Titanium Backup. With Tasker I've got profiles ranging from audible notification when a bluetooth connectivity change occurs, automatic volume adjustment to a particular setting upon plugging in headphones (or another when in my car on BT) to setting up quiet times of the day or going to speakerphone when on a call and being set on the table face up. I've even got a profile to turn wifi on/off automatically based on my activity (off when i leave home and start my car, on after getting out of my car but only long enough to connect to work/home wifi otherwise back off). Titanium I use to freeze apps that I don't need and to back up all apps just in case an update on Play Store brings unwanted changes to an application (bugs or unwanted features).
Then there's other minor tweaks like Adaway, Greenify and QuickTile. Quicktile I am using to cycle through different display timeout settings when I want to hand the phone over to someone else to look at something, it makes quick work of switching display settings.
Lastly I currently am using Fingerprint Quick Action app to program powering off the phone with a double tap of the fingerprint sensor and to launch an app of my choice (LastPass in my case) on fingerprint scan once the phone is unlocked by fingerprint.
Also add a +1 for me for audio mods Viper4Android and Dolby Atmos.
I'm currently patiently waiting for Xposed to add further mods but for now I'm fine without it.

That's the answer that makes me wanna root. Thanks for this (or not lol)
Not rooted; what am I missing?
BALLS
(hahaha just wanted to write that)
I dont think so you are not missing much i have also rooted pixel but i haven't flashed anything waiting for Xposed or some mods maybe Magisk or something phone is flawless for me working perfectly.
This is an old one but still relative, enjoy
I root for substratum and cf lumen mainly, with titanium as an extra perk since I'm already rooted.
I wanted to start an informal thread here where anyone could discuss various little mods and tweaks that any of us might be playing around with on our V30s.
I'm not talking major things like flashing a rom or rooting or anything like that. We already have super talented people that helped to make all those things possible and there are 100+ page threads about some of them. (Big thanks to all of you serious developers!)
Consider this a discussion thread for the "Tinkerers" though more experienced actual development is of course welcomed.
Personally I am always playing around with my device just to see what I can get it to do, or access or change etc. I use apps like Preference Manager, and Shortcut Master to play around and discover the "hidden" stuff that you aren't supposed to get to, or at least not yet. Sometimes this gives me a sneak peak at some beta feature or adds a setting I didn't have, or a UI tweak etc.
I figure that a bunch of you probably do the same things and thought it would be cool to have a thread just to share those little one off things we discover that wouldn't normally warrant a whole post of it's own.
Maybe you want to share what substratum build is working well for you.
Or maybe you found a magisk module that wasn't built for the LG V30 but works great (Dialer and contacts for the one plus worked great on my device)
I'll kick us off with one little tweak I never see posts about.
Using Shortcut Master I have changed some of the LG Home App settings in order to have a modded home launcher. Basically I'm using some of the features LG chooses to keep hidden. Some pics of the menu are below. Minor changes but I've had the Google screen to the left of my home screen for a while now and I don't have to use Nova or something else to get it to work.
I've never really seen a post on what all of these check boxes do, so I've played around with all of them and can report that most are minor, and some will ruin your day, so Tinkerers beware if you decide to emulate.
Here's another example of the kind of stuff I mean. Does anyone actually know what High Lux Mode does? I've enabled and disabled and don't really notice a difference.
Maybe a thread like this will help shed a little light on something we can all use.
I want to share that anyone on rom without Qlen support can co to system/build.prop, find "lge.support.lglens=not-suppport" change it to support and reboot

That's probably because those screenshots are from older versions of Android. Or he has some theme applied.
It looks like the screenshots where it's been talked about in other threads, especially the Shortcut Master Lite.
You can still download a copy of Shortcut Master (Lite) 1.2.4 from APKMirror. It disappeared from the Play Store about a month ago - I'm not sure of the reason.

Not positive and can't test for it because I don't yet have a V30, but I would guess this toggles the phone's ability to use fullbright/sunlight/etc mode.
Brightness is usually capped below 100% to increase panel longevity; this limit is bypassed with high enough light levels hitting the light sensor next to the call speaker. Last I heard you need VERY bright light with the V30, and the high threshold makes it flicker on and off a lot; this could give some people bothered by it a bit of relief.

Swap Torpedo (Magisk Module): It flushes your stupid stupid compressed ZRAM/Swap. All of your apps will load faster and smoother.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-swap-torpedo-run-faster-reliably-t3766883
Reasoning: You don't need freaking swap on a phone with 2 GB or more. V30 has 4 GB RAM. Never run into any issues with this. Flash and forget.
fstrim (Magisk module): trims your phone when it has been idle for more than 5 minutes.
https://github.com/GreyLeshy/magisk-module-fstrim/releases
Reasoning: Right now your phone only trims when it has been idle for hours and is charging which is almost never. You will notice the difference. Things will write faster to storage. Read and write speeds are faster in general. It's a very simple script that you don't need to check for updates. Flash and forget.
RAM Manager (Magisk Module): Reduces app refreshing significantly.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/ram-manager-magisk-t3816986
Reasoning: V30 has very aggressive memory management which works for most people but gives trouble for heavy multitasking. This is fixing the issue. Everything stays in memory until it's absolutely out of memory. Then it starts kicking things out. Flash and forget. Note: If you want to use this with Swap Torpedo you must install Swap Torpedo first, then RAM Manager.
None of these tweaks consume battery, in fact they save you battery. I used to tweak my previous phones a lot but after many tests I've realized that the V30 is incredibly optimized. No need for L Speed or Kernel Adiutor or any of that nonsense. Storage, CPU, GPU and battery performance are super optimized on this device. It even puts some flagship phones with SD 845 CPUs to shame. LG devs did an incredible job and pulling out ALL of the stops to make it run smooth. Read ahead is already at 4096 kb, no need to tweak! Storage is mounted relatime so it won't waste write and read. All partitions are already aligned perfectly. LG dedicated some space for overprovisioning so nothing to tweak there either. On a good day my UFS 2.1 storage read speed is more than 740 MB/s and write up to 300 MB/s. More than my SSDs in my computer. Incredible work by LG. Battery life is tweaked to the maximum as well and so is GPU driver performance. Do not touch those things especially build.prop. Every other tweak I have tried has introduced some issue somewhere else. This is a phone that you leave alone and be happy that the devs optimized it so well LG has people smarter than us working on these and who fully understand how the device works. The era of complex kernel tweaks and scripts is officially over.

Thanks for the tips on the other 2 but I just wanted to chime in on swap torpedo or getting rid of the swap on the V30. Doing this made a pretty big difference on my V20 but I noticed on my TMobile V30 that it actually was making me reload certain apps quite frequently. Now I didn't do very much testing with it but I noticed that when I got rid of swap if I had one of my more intensive 3D games running and I switched over to the camera or vice versa I would have to reload the app that was switched from. With stock swap settings I could switch back to the previous app (game or camera whichever) and it would still be open and ready.
Now take this with a grain of salt obviously because there are too many variables but I'm sharing my experience and so far mine has been better with stock swap settings on the H932 at least.
For those who don't frequent the Q&A section, @rollingstone321 figured out how to force quick-charging while the screen is on;
rollingstone321 said:
Ok after searching a long time I have found where lg did hide the charging restriction
Sys/module/lge_power_class_charging_controller
If you put the parameter for restricted_charging to LCD OFF you will get quick charge when also using the phone.
But Android changes this parameter back once the device goes to sleep. How can I make this parameter stay or even remove the module?

Septfox said:
Try setting it to read-only. I'm not sure if this will persist the setting after reboot, though. This might also have the unintended effect of forcing the charging restriction to happen while the screen is off, as "LCD OFF" suggests; have you tried seeing what happens if you blank the setting instead?

rollingstone321 said:
Leaving it blank freezes the phone, same with '0' or 'disable'. So LCD OFF is only option for now. But I rather have fast charge while I m using Waze in the car and be able to charge till 100% fast, and slow charging at night.
...
Seems like changing the parameter to LCD OFF and setting the file to only read did the trick.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As bolded, setting it to LCD OFF and making it read-only might make the phone slow-charge while the screen is off. Having something (Tasker, AutomateIt, etc) set it each time the screen is turned on is a better solution if you want all QC, all the time, since it'll reset itself on screen-off.
If someone wants to go digging in LG's kernel source to see what the valid parameters are, figure out the proper setting to just disable the limiter and set it to read-only, that'd of course be best.
I went digging myself using Lunar kernel, and it seems this is read and limit set based on it, not the condition under which the restriction is imposed as I first thought.
---
Keep in mind that fast-charging alone creates quite some heat, and doing it while running the SoC under load will increase the rate that your battery ages. It's hard to say how much, since there are so many contributing factors to battery wear, but one thing is true regardless: li-ion batteries don't particularly like heat. Charge responsibly!

No I can confirm what you are saying. There is more reloading because LG optimized the V30 so perfectly. You really don't need the tweaks tbh. But that is why I use Swap Torpedo in conjunction with RAM Manager. I would even argue there is not enough of a benefit that people would notice anyway but for me things like Nova Launcher run slightly smoother. It might even just be placebo and there is no tangible difference. Either way V30 is so well optimized out of the box, I personally believe it's a waste of time and resources to use tweaks even if I use them. :good:

Isn't this actually bad though? You don't want fstrim triggering 24/7? I know on an SSD that counts as writes and you only get a certain amount until you kill the lifespan.

Ok using torpedo swap, it's actually horrible for multitasking. I'll have only 1 app open, ( line chat) open chrome for a link, copy and go back to line chat and it wants to reload.
Total crap. Never had an issue till this mod. It's also the only mod I've ran.

Corv0 said:
Many users have asked more details on how I achieved my battery life results, this guide will cover some basic settings and behaviors that are proven or supposed to reduce energy consumption, no root involved.
Power results to expect:
7-9h SoT: Mainly 4G, mid to max brightness, navigation applications and outdoors utilities.
9-11h SoT: Your average work day, 50% max brightness and 4G, 50% half brightness or less on WiFi, mainly video playing, communication and web browsing applications.
11-14h SoT: Same as above but with lowered screen brightness and no 4G.
Gaming applications automatically forfeit any battery report due to too many variables. I can’t include them, but your gaming time will certainly last longer if you follow everything.
According to what has been seen on forums, Snapdragon versions seem to perform considerably worse than Exynos ones regarding power consumption and they should be expected to not last as much, I’m still waiting to see a side by side battery test between the two, please mention your model when posting screenshots.
Initial Setup
Just a few options here:
Avoid restoring backups from older/previous devices, Google’s app data restoring system has been known to permanently influence Play Services’ drain.
Smart Switch is also bugged, do not use it, everyone saw better results by skipping it.
Set up as new and import only what you need.
Theme
Night Theme
Black/Night themes will reduce power consumption without doubt while helping your AMOLED maintain quality for the future, your Quickpanel has a simple shortcut to enable Night mode system-wide and on supported Samsung applications, keep it on all the time if possible.
Quickpanel
Your Quickpanel is not actually black in Night mode (85% black), it also forces your device to drop frames every time it is summoned by blurring the background, a very expensive and unnecessary effect.
Download Good Lock from the Galaxy store
Open QuickStar, set BG Color to black (make sure to run the bar to the darkest end) and disable Blur effect.
Launcher
As smooth and elegant as OneUI Home can look, it is stupidly heavy on the GPU, especially when launching the app drawer (unnecessary blur effect again), you can see Nova and OneUI Home compared:
Nova: No frames dropped
OneUI: Dropping frames EVERY single time the drawer is summoned, keeps dropping several scrolls later too.
You can make Nova look exactly the same as stock OneUI while having more features and better performance.
Background wallpapers
Darker wallpapers will help, but overall no big deal.
Animated wallpapers are expensive, you’re not going to stare at them, keep your wallpapers static and your animations in the gallery.
Connections
More connection settings: Disable Nearby device scanning, it’s mostly used to push ads whenever you’re around malls and shops.
Private DNS: Set your DNS to 1dot1dot1dot.cloudflare-dns.com, Cloudflare’s DNS will greatly improve your browsing speeds. This setting will also make it harder for Google to track you around the web, you will be blacklisted from Google Opinion Rewards by keeping it on, if you do not use Google Opinion Rewards then you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Location services
Biometrics and Security, Location, disable everything under Improve accuracy, you don’t need this on this phone, nobody does, modern GPS systems are already accurate enough indoors to not justify having to scan for Wifi SSIDs or Bluetooth even when they're off.
Audio
Dolby Atmos requires some additional processing to handle the extra channels, if you do not hear any quality difference, keep it off.
Display
FHD+ (2280 x 1080) and WQHD+ (3040 x 1440) will look exactly the same to the untrained eye.
WQHD+ will to make your GPU worry about 23% more pixels, it will result in:
-30min off your average SoT day
-25% less autonomy in 3D games
I personally couldn’t go back to 1080p after upgrading all my displays. All my SoT screenshots have been taken on 1440p settings.
Apps
Most apps can be disabled from Settings, Apps, for apps that can’t be disabled that way, I recommend using this guide if you are unfamiliar with Adhell.
After disabling everything related to Facebook (use alternative apps if you really need it), do not keep duplicate active services that do the same kind of tasks;
If you are using Gboard as keyboard, disable Samsung Keyboard and Keyboard Neural beta
If you are not using OneUI Home then disable OneIU Home and Bixby Home.
You can safely disable Bixby itself if you prefer Google Assistant or no assistant at all.
You can apply the same principle to all the system apps you think aren’t useful to you, this will greatly reduce RAM usage and CPU wakelocks/alarms.
Battery Monitors
They’re not free to use, they drain energy by logging, everything does.
Unless you’re specifically checking for rogue apps attacking your battery, get rid of Accubattery or similar apps.
Keyboard
The two best keyboards I know are Gboard and Samsung keyboard, I do not like and cannot recommend any other.
Your keyboard should also be black at all times, that will result in at least 30% less power waste when typing, Gboard and Samsung Keyboard have their own themes for that.
Disable anything that makes your buttons clicking sounds or vibrations, it’s unnecessary, energy expensive and has been demonstrated to not improve your typing performance in any way.
Device Care
Good utility, but you shouldn’t run it manually and you shouldn’t kill apps with it, instead:
Enable Auto optimisation, set it some-when during your sleep.
Enable Auto restart, no Operating System is immune to bugs manifesting by staying on for too long, make your device restart itself at least every 3 days, when you sleep, and at least 10 minutes after auto optimisation is supposed to run.
Disable Security, Samsung is getting paid to put this McAfee crap in their firmware, in the EU it will be disabled by default since it is also a tracker not initially included in any other contract from Samsung.
If you accidentally enable it, go to Apps, look for Device Security, and wipe data, that will disable it.
Android does not need an Antivirus, you will not get malware unless you install modified apps with unofficial signatures (the Play Store still has malware too, stay away from shady apps), if you often try third party apps from the outside, make sure your apks are clean by uploading them to www.virustotal.com.
If you suspect your phone has been infected and you can’t identify the package, install a better Antivirus software such as Bitdefender or Avira, but I don’t recommend keeping them installed unless you are playing with high risk applications all the time.
Sleeping apps
Sleeping apps puts unused (not in your multitasker) apps to sleep, alike pressing X on a desktop Operating System.
Since most apps are badly optimised and using Android’s great RAM management to keep them alive only results in more wakelocks and drain, Samsung deserves a lot of respect for letting us do this without third party apps such as Brevent or Greenify.
You need to have Outlook installed on your phone to follow those annoying work e-mails, but you’re tired of notifications? Put it to sleep.
Put every app to sleep unless:
You need notifications from it
You use it often
Animations
Animations are expensive and make your system appear slower, reducing them will help by making your GPU draw less frames.
They can be sped up or disabled from Developer options, I recommend .5x for a good balance, to enable developer options:
Settings, about phone, software information, repeatedly tap on Build number until you magically become a developer.
Additional animations can be removed by enabling Reduce animations in Advanced features and Remove Animations in Accessibility, Visibility enhancements.
Ad-blocking
If you are using Adhell, that’s your best adblocker for Knox devices.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts is the best collection of hosts, make sure your Adhell is whitelisting Analytics domains, you will notice these domains being spammed under “Domains blocked in past 24 hours”, Android will keep trying to reach those domains until they are whitelisted.
If you don’t want to use Adhell for whatever reason, Blokada is an excellent VPN-based adblocker that is way less invasive and does not seem to impact battery, use it with the recommended hosts and keep it on at all times, enable always on if you notice it getting killed often.

@dominicstg2 It might not work well in every region, in that case you can just skip it.
A great alternative to facebook is Face Slim
some great tips there thank you
so if you are struggling battery life wise should you go from QHD to FHD or does it make no real difference? and would you say having a blue wallpaper would drain a lot more than a black wallpaper?

FHD will definitely help but I find vision quality to be a higher priority over half an hour or more of battery per full cycle, it's totally up to you.
Blue wallpapers will in theory drain more than any other colour, this Dynamic AMOLED's blue subpixel is much larger than the others, but you won't feel the difference unless you stay still on your home page for long periods of time.
Also one small correction if I may. The correct DNS should be 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com

I'm not sure about the "sync in a google app" as even going thru parameters (without opening any app, above all a google one), it keeps re enabling itself. I suspect that the S10 os is buggy (this android version or samsung implementation ??) or embedded with hidden (unreachable) parameters.

Just one thing to add. That is really great and comprehensive guide. I actually disabled few apps and services. Be aware though, if you disable One UI launcher and are using navigation gestures, you will lose recents and back gesture.
What is your processor?

So, it's ok to let the Location "ON" and just disable everything under "improve accuracy"? The battery draining isn't significant for location "on" or "off"?
I remember in Oreo we had the opportunity to set it on battery saving.

Disclaimer: I am not Responsible for Burns on your gorgeous Amoled display or the Nuclear war triggered or your anything using by my guide.
As we have the Notification Led ditched by Sammy, we have a few alternatives. However, I have somewhat mimicked the missing features through Always On Edge.
Play Store Link: (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
I can understand that this has already been discussed, my purpose of this thread is to Guide you an effective configuration of the AOE app. Many people find the app difficult to configure as this is like a "One Page Website" containing almost all the options in the same place, therefore looking messy. Also, this app have several bugs yet I found this most reliable yet.
I don't claim any credit for the App.
Steps:
Please disable dear Samsung's Edge Light feature OFF.
Disable Window and Transition Animation off in Dev Settings if you don't like AOE flickering statusbar during notification reminder.
Install Always on Edge from the play store link above.
Go to AOE settings, Give the app necessary Permission.
Exclude the app from being battery optimized.
On How/When to Light section, select your preferences. In "When Notification Comes", select your apps to notify and set your preferred colour.
Turn Reminder on for 8 seconds in every 16 seconds.
On Edge Style, Select Stable (This helps reduce battery drain).
Check Adjust brightness, keep it at mid range or as you prefer.
On How to Close, select Double Tap to Close.
Now, on Enable Edge Lighting, keep it enabled, Select around Notch only. On the notch support settings, select Adjust manually and select the values 55,0,15,10, Right > 120 respectively.
This will make a smaller notification LED like light above the notch. We usually don't use that area so, it should be absolutely fine. With these settings, you get a working notification LED alternative.
I hope this helps a lot of us. These settings are my personal preference at this moment. I am also looking into Chainfire's Holey Light but that thing is a baby and drains battery plus does not notify when on battery and screen is off. So, I shall wait till other alternatives are available.
There's a Thank Button for Every Post That Makes you Thankful to the Author.

This app doesnt work properly for me, it only shows notification around camera ring after i wake the screen, whats the point of it than?
Not to mention often there is like overlay over regular losckreen so i need to unlock twice, it comes over fingeprint area so i cant directly unlock phone from screen off.
Reinstalled it 3 times already just to see if im crazy or not and redid from scratch following 100% guide from youtube or net.
What im doing wrong here or it works like that for all?
@ivicask,
I can't tell you what you're doing wrong, but it's not supposed to work like that. On my phone it notifies me as soon as a new message notification arrives. Try experimenting with some of the options. And read all the notices that the developer put in the app.

Can you check if the "Screen is Off" is selected in the when a notification comes section. Also, did you disable Edge Lighting?
These are my settings and it works perfectly fine and the notification light stays on until I dismiss it. The red circled area is what needs to be changed to leave the notification light on until you dismiss it.
In the last screenshot, you scroll down through that list to select the apps you want a notification light for. Whenever you install a new app on your phone it gets automatically check off in that list. Just something to remember.
In addition whenever you make a change you have to hit save at the bottom.
This setup also works with Samsung stock AOD.

I wish people would stop recommending this app. I have had 0 success in using it and having it work as intended. I have tried your settings, and once again this does not work for me; When I get a notification, the screen lights up, shuts off, and there is no indication that a message has arrived. There are like 3 threads on this particular program that also offer suggestions on how to get the program to "work".
Yes, Edge lighting has been disabled. I even went a step further and rebooted the phone, then installed the app. Used your settings, as well as the other settings that have been suggested and I have the same outcome, I just don't get it. I am sure that atleast 100 of the reported downloads are form me trying to get this app to work LOL.
I appreciate your time to try to explain how you managed to get the app to work, but is not reliable imho, and I really wish it were
I just use the AOD, as much as I hate it, it's about the only reliable way to know that a notification has arrived.

What are the other apps? I would love to try anything that would give me a working notification indicator.
You and I have a vastly different expectation when it comes to "working as intended". If it did work as intended, all of us would be able to have this app function correctly.
I also find it very convoluted and bloated. When creating a UI for any app, you should use the "user is drunk method". Meaning even if a person were intoxicated, they should be able to use the app. But that is neither here nor there.
I appreciate what the developer has done, I just haven't been able to accomplish the task at hand.

I also have had the same problem. I normally used double tap to wake. It is however, present in this app.
Select double tap to close this app. And just use the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone. It works. I have been using this.
About the Bloated UI of the app, I also agree with all of you. I also contacted the developer on this. He said he will look into this once the app become more stable.
Those, who could not get this app working, I'm sure there is some settings of your phone that are contradicting. For examplen if a notification wakes up the screen, this app will not notifiy. Moreover, yes, I have been using this app as my daily driver now. It does not disappoint me. I have used all the other apps available, Holey Light, Arc Lighting. None works as it should. They works as mentioned by the dev but those features are not the feature an LED-holic person is looking for. Holey Light cannot notify when not being charged. Arc notification ridiculously asks me to watch ad for every hour I use the app.
I am not being paid by the app developer to spread the words. I am spreading the word because it works for me and it SHOULD work for you also as we share the same device. There must be some conflicting app or settings. If anyone needs help settings this up, I would love to help.
I'm taking an online tech bootcamp, and I want to set my phone on do not disturb while I study so I'm not distracted by calls, emails, or texts, but one of the requirements of the bootcamp is that if they message us on slack we have to reply within 20 minutes or we're considered absent. I can't find a way to add an exception to the android do not disturb for a specific app. I've tried all the things that come up on Google but none of them work. I've got a US note 10+, so rooting and romming sadly isn't an option.

This is ok, but it does not solve entirely the problem because you can set up only exceptions for calls and/or messages. If you want to set up exceptions for other apps, this is not possible.
Then, you should use an automation app, like Macrodroid.
This way, you can define a macro (it is not dificult, if you need, I can help you) which will be triggered when the wanted message arrives, and then it will send a message to yourself using the sms app, which can be defined as an exception on the do not disturb section.
Or you could use Bixby Routines, which does the same as Macrodroid, but it is not so intuitive.

You always can disable the background data usage for Macrodroid. If you're macro doesn't use internet, then Macrodroid does not need it. It is a very safe app, I never had a problem giving it admin rights.
All Macrodroid's data traffic from the beginning of the month was 119 kb.
