I posted this on the ZTE Community forums, and thought I'd add it here as well.
The notification bell on the lockscreen is a major annoyance for many of us. I was looking for some other way to manage this, but lockscreen widget apps don't work, and most lockscreen apps don't support the fingerprint reader, Smart Lock, or double tap to wake. After reading a lot of reviews, I'm cautiously optimistic about Next Lock Screen, an Android app by Microsoft, of all things! This app sort of runs "on top" of/with your built in lockscreen. It shows the notifications, right there, no bell, and it still works with the fingerprint reader and the double tap to wake feature on my ZTE Axon 7. It claims to still work with Smart Lock, but I haven't been able to try that yet.
Google Play Store Link: Next Lock Screen - Android Apps on Google Play
In the Next Lock Screen settings, set the "Screen Lock" option to "System" to keep your double tap to wake, fingerprint, PIN, etc. just as you already have them. If you do this, you will still get a glimpse of your old ZTE lockscreen now and then, when you try to go into the Next Lock Screen settings, and it shows you the ZTE screen and makes you fingerprint scan before changing settings.
The Next Lock Screen is not quite as fast as the ZTE Lockscreen, so you glimpse it briefly before your homescreen, when the device unlocks.
I like the app that you suggest, but is there a way to keep showing ZTE wallpapers? ZTEs setup keeps changing wallpapers everytime the screen wakes up. I kinda like the feature. I know the Next Lock Screen app has a similar feature with Bing wallpapers, but that is only once per day.
I've been using Next for the past week to get around the bell and it works quite well - especially with the fingerprint sensor. Very surprised that it took MS to make a very useful and intuitive lockscreen for Android. Of course, I'd rather have pure Android instead of an app work around.
That bell is truly a feature that i dont understand. So, si annoying and stupid.
Thanks for this but I'm gonna try the root way first
There's a way to remove it with root?

Basically any 3rd party lockscreen, like Next, AcDisplay, Ambient display, etc, will disable the stock lockscreen when the 3rd party app takes control. It's a work-around. People probably want some kind of interaction from the lockscreen anyway, and this is a way to get rid of the stupid bell and get that interactive display at the same time.
Edit: I missed the post before yours. I do hope that someone creates an option in settings on a future ROM to disable it directly though. After root and bootloader unlock of course.

or just shout about it loud enough at ZTEs, so that they will make it an optional feature in coming updates... there is a bunch of optimal features they should integrate:
- optional bell on lockscreen
- optional on-screen buttons (as chinese 6gb versions have already)
- optional black/dark theme (specially with that amoled display)
... will tell more when I got the phone :silly:
I kind of defeated the bell using Tasker to simulate a touch right where the bell is. Unfortunately it simulates a touch even when I use the finger print. Not really sure which is more annoying, the bell or having a touch in the upper left every time the screen comes on. That's how ****ing annoying this bell is.

How's that a root workaround? The method you described can be used without root as well and the problem with it is that it doesn't support the fingerprint scanner.
Does anyone have a stock android lockscreen app so I can install is as a system app and delete ZTE one? Thanks

Are you able to use fingerprint with NEXT and the stock lockscreen disabled? For some reason the only way I can use fingerprint is if I have both lockscreens enabled at the same time.

No, only with both on. It's slightly annoying, but less annoying than the bell.

Can someone please make an xposed mode or something similar for those who have root and would like to keep the stock lock screen? I imagine it's not that difficult of a task, but I have little to no skills when it comes to coding so can't make anything like that ? Thank you

Still, that was rather clever of you. :good:
I figured out how to have the bell auto open with Tasker. I uploaded the two profiles that are needed to do this. Probably not the most elegant Tasker work but meh it works. This works by simulating a touch where the bell is when you are on the lock screen but not when you use finger print unlock.
Looks like you need root for this.
To import: Save xmls to /sdcard/tasker/profiles
Load up tasker and long press profiles and hit "import".

This profile works without root to auto hit the bell and is much faster than my other one. You need tasker and autoinput.

How does one set this up?

If you cant stand that knock off is gone on your custom rom that you have happily flashed on your g2... ive noticed alot of people asking so here is a few solutions if you already dont have one! Got a better way? Suggest it! Will edit if necessary.
1. If you dont use google now from your home button swiping up... download the app in the link below!
{FOR CYANOGENMOD USERS} Your rom already comes with a toggle for this... accessible from SETTINGS>>INTERFACE>>QUICK LAUNCH SHORTCUTS... obviously slide up and set it as "Screen off" towards the bottom of the list.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en <<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you have that downloaded you can now swipe up like you would normally access google now... it will now give you the option to set a default for the screen off application, do it and now you can swipe up from anywhere on your device (Even the lockscreen) to turn off your screen without having to touch the buttons on the back! (Now i noticed when i was running an AOKP rom this didnt work every time as due to the fact every time it would shut off it would turn right back on... if thats the case for you try out option 2!
2. [YOU WILL NEED THE SAME APPLICATION AS IN OPTION 1] This is a simple bit, but your rom might not have this capability... if you go to your navbar settings you should be able to enable long press actions for buttons... select any button you'd like and set the long press for the application you have downloaded!
3. [YOU WILL NEED THE SAME APPLICATION AS IN OPTION 1] And lastly your third option... this should be if neither option 1 nor 2 work for your custom rom which they should... This one however is not easily accesible from any screen on your device only your home screen... first things first download that application above, now you download a launcher such as Apex launcher which i would reccomend because it allows this without paying for the full version and i tend to like apex alot better, from there go straight into your apex settings and go to behaviour... check out those gestures and set that application as your gesture! Nova launcher's is pretty self explanitory if you have prime. after that your good to go! Easy accesable screen off techniques you cant live without on the g2, hope this helps some of you!
I have another idea. Use GMD gesture control and use the edge of your screen to turn off the phone, or even double tap the nav bar (the app is ridiculously useful)
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
Another option for CM Roms is to use the app below which gives you the option to Knock Off from anywhere on the entire home screen when using Apex or Nova and then have a double tap set or any other gesture you like up to execute this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cillinsoft.scrnoff
thanks alot. due to that reason so many people dont want to jump custom rom as like me
GMD Gesture Control - > define 3 finger swipe down gesture anywhere to turn screen off. There you go, most comfortable solution.

My main reason for loving Knockon (and not jumping to any rom) is the wake up feature though. This is the first time that I have an android device where I don't rape the power button just to look at how pretty my lockscreen or launcher is.

Does the V10 allow you to put a widget on the second screen? It suddenly occurred to me that if I were able to put a zooper widget there then the second screen would be only limited by my imagination...
As far as I can tell, the answer is no.
I wanted to put a flashlight widget on there, and there is no option to put widget.
There is a flashlight option there when main screen is asleep, but when you have it unlocked, its a different set of options.

Thanks for the feedback. Probably not a deal breaker for me, was just curious.
I am surprised there is a lack of customization for this screen. Coming from the note 4 edge, I was used to limited options but with a least a solid set of choices for configuration. Hopefully this will be expanded for my V10
Those hoping for root/custom roms probably have high hopes for unlimited possibilities in regards to the second screen.
I am not looking for root. But I'd like to see what if anything gets added and or changed when LG rolls out the 6.0 update for our pretty little devices. I haven't even played with mine yet its waiting for me to get home from school today. UPS hid it well I hope.

When the main screen is on there is a flashlight in the notification bar when you pull out down. Put the down arrow key in the home touch button section and you have as many steps to the flashlight as you would if you could put a widget in the second screen.

Yeah I am aware of that selection. I just don't care for the chunky look of it.

So because you don't like the look you won't use the feature?
I had the G3 and LG skipped the notification flashlight in the Lollipop update. It was the first thing I checked for on the V10. I guess I'm not really picky about how it looks as long as I have the feature that doesn't require extra apps.

Agreed. The flashlight in the pulldown is very nice, and having a quick access when the screen is off (second screen) is even better. Coming from the G3 as well. Very useful.

Nope, think you misunderstand or read way too much into my comment. I of course will use the ability that is there. I'd prefer it to be available on the 2nd screen, and I don't care for the look or of the notification pulldown.
I'd say that area is the least attractive part of the whole phone. Of course, that is not going to make me not use the phone either.

It is on the second screen. When the main screen is off you slide from right to left and the flashlight widget is there. Doesn't make sense to have it also on the second screen when the main screen is on since it's in the notification pull down.
Sorry for the misinterpration.
Of all the Android skins I like LG's the best. I've had pretty much all manufacturers.
Of course I would love to have Android exactly the way Google designed it but I haven't seen any device that I like with pure Android.
Hey guys, any of you started using Nova on v30? Which features are disabled when using Nova? Also can you do anything to navigation buttons like change the icons or make the tab transparent? Thanks!
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
I've been running Nova since I got my V30. I haven't noticed anything being disabled on the V30 compared to the other devices I've used it on. Yes, you can change the icons on the nav buttons, and all other features that Nova is known for.
Knock On/Off is disabled when using Nova. Sadly. Basically one of my favorite LG features can't be used. If you get another app like Screen On/Off it messes with the security settings and you cant' use the finger print to unlock, you have to do your pattern/password. So yeah, not exactly thrilled w/ using the LG launcher but it is what is.

Ironically enough, I just noticed that they have a screen lock option in the settings for gestures and inputs now too...
There are two options, one is locks the screen immediately (which requires pin/password/patter, which I didn't want) and the other just turns the screen off for 5 seconds then locks itself, allowing for knock on and fingerprint. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
And yes, you can double tap the notification shade as well and that does the same as the second option.
Thanks again!

The V30 new floating bar doesn't show up for me on the home screen, but shows up in any apps or settings. Kind of a bummer since they removed the ticker screen in the v20 and v10 for the virtual one, but I have to choose between nova and no ticker on the home screen or a different launcher and ticker on the home screen :/

How do you use the ticker on the home screen, for what purposes? I'm asking because for instance if it's in order to launch apps maybe there's another way more efficient?

I actually figured out that it will stay on the home screen as long as I don't hide the navigation buttons. When I keep the navigation buttons persistent on the screen, I can use the ticker.
As for what I use it for, there are some media control settings, shortcuts, but most useful is screen shot and making gif features.
Oh man that was the only issue I was worried about using a launcher. I really wanna use the floating bar but can't give up nova either [emoji58]

Hello,
I know this is an old thread but want to ask the question regarding Nova launcher and the LGV30+ that I have.
When I setup the Nova Launcher, to unlock the phone with my finger print, it asked me for addition pattern or a pin. Now that it is set up, whenever I use the fingerprint to unlock the phone, it also ask for a pattern.
Does anyone else have this issue?

If you are using Nova's double tap to sleep feature, and you have it set to the 'Device Admin' option for the lock method, you will not be able to use biometric unlock. Using the 'Timeout' method will allow you to use the fingerprint scanner as normal.

Thank you for that. Do you know if there is a way to set this up to work with the double tap to lock the screen? It is giving me a message that it has to be an admin.
Thanks.
EDIT: OK figured it out. You set Nova to turn off the screen with a double tap. The timeout will lock it.
Thanks!
I know the thread is a little old, but someone also asked about using the floating bar with Nova.
Should be able to use it. I know a question was previously asked about it by a poster, and the issue was not Nova, but the fact that the poster had the Navigation Bar set to auto hide, and the Floating Bar is directly tied to the Navigation Bar. If the Navigation Bar is hidden, the Floating Bar will not display.

Thanks so much
Is it possible to
1. make notification light to turn into phone's breathing light? which will blink always. (notification blinking will be 2x or 3x faster than breathing blinking)
2. turn fingerprint sensor into scrolling function? like internet browsing scrolling, facebook scrolling and in homepage bringing down notification panel?
I don't understand what you mean by "breathing light", but there are a few apps that do useful things with the fingerprint sensor, in reply to your second query, though this unfortunately isn't baked into the firmware (my previous phone was a Moto, so had pretty handy Moto gestures natively - v cool).
I've been experimenting with an app called Fingerprint Gestures, which I quite like. I only use it to pull up the home screen, which is tricky sometimes, eg when you're using Google Maps.
Fingerprint Gestures lets you select any of a number of commands, by single, long or double tapping. Unfortunately to get it to scroll you'd need root.
Miui (being a royal pain in the hole) seems to mess with the permissions a bit such that you tend to get pestered about the same permissions repeatedly.
There are a few other similar apps I'm gonna try also.
Edit
I just tried 4 other apps, Fingerprint Action Pro, Fingerprint Gesture, Fingerprint Swipes & Hometouch. Couldn't get any of them to work as well as Fingerprint Gestures

Guys, got my mate 20 Pro and it's a beast but, that REALLY annoying Hisearch thing is driving me nuts! I can't find a way to turn it off!
To be clear, this is the thing that if you swipe down on the screen brings up Hisearch. Trouble is, it happens all the time when pulling down the notifications. Who thought this was a good idea?!
Also, while I have you.... Is there an easy way to remove some of the stubborn Huawei crap apps? Previous on other phones, I've used something like Package Disabler Pro that didn't require root. Anything similar available that works without root?
Thanks, Pete.
I think accidentally bring HiSearch up is amuscle memory thing.
Providing you start the Swipe down from the sides of the notch (ie from on top of the notifications) then (for me at least) it reliably brings up the notifications only.
If you start the Swipe down from on top of the notch it's a little hit & miss whether you get notifications of Hi Search.
Swiping down from the middle of a screen reliably brings up HiSearch.
Well, I'm new to Huawei, so maybe I'll get used to it..
All the same, I don't like it, and would rather disable it or have the option to turn it off.
Agreed. I have a Google calendar agenda widget on one of the home screens. Every time i scroll down, the hi search come up. It's infuriating.
As far as I know, the only way to get rid of it is to switch the launcher. I use Nova, but you'll have to use the navigation bar instead of gestures otherwise the home gesture animation doesn't work properly.
Thanks, Nova has Indeed stopped it.
TBH, I really should have done that anyway shouldn't I?
I like the traditional 3 button setup anyway, so nothing lost for me.
Thanks again.
HiSearch is horrible. I also used to use a package disabler pro but that won't work on this mate 20Pro.
That HiSearch swipe is looking more and more like a Bixby button that can't be remapped.

Thanks! Just what I need. That warning headline looks pretty scary lol to a guy not adept at command line. :-O
Fortunately looks like everyone is having good success and no side effects of removal yet. I'm gonna break out of my comfort zone and take the plunge. That HiSearch is truly abysmal, insultingly so.
I'm gonna do a little happy dance in the grave of HiSearch once it's dead and gone.

Ok cool, totally understand. Exceeded my thanks quote for the day so here is one instead. :good:
It makes scrolling widgets unusable such as fenix or BBC news.... So 3rd party launcher for me. + I want the dock hiding too
You can get rid of Hi-Search with the surgical removal listed above. So far no-one has reported any side effects from doing so. What drives me nuts is that Android doesn't have the split pulldown as rule of law. Pull down ANYWHERE on the left or right to either swipe down your normal notifications screen or just the raw full system settings icons. Disabling Hi-Search doesn't help if you still have to dislocate your thumb to scrounge around on the 3 pixels that will trigger the pulldown.
it's a long time since nobody wrote here but, hey new stuff for XPERTz:
2 mobile phones: Huawei P9 Lite - Huawei Y7 2018 & no ****ing com.huawei.search package inside to remove! How's that possible? (I got rid of all the bloatware I could, using pm unistall etc... BUT CAN'T REMOVE HISEARCH )
Let me give you the chance to become more than XPERTz...
