Change the Heads Up Notifications Style on Any Android phone? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I am really not a fan of the current style of heads-up notifications on android phones which is bulky and thick.
currently using OnePlus 7 Pro
I saw my dads Samsung Note10 and i liked its notification style its small and subtle.
I also loved how notifications came up on the older androids just on the status bar.
Is there anyway we can change the heads-up notification style?
I did plenty of research.
Theres an app called Notify BETA that kinda does what i would like but somehow its not updated and does not work on my phone.
Can someone please suggest of help me with this? I would be really happy.
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Status Bar Theming - How to get the pure Google look?

Hi all, quick question.
Does anyone know can I make the status bar on my Galaxy S4 look like the status bar did on the Nexus 7, Nexus 5, Nexus 4, etc.. when they ran Android 4.3? I really like the blue UI elements and would like to get that UI on my GS4.
My Galaxy S4 is currently rooted on 4.3. Stock ROM, bootloader, etc...
Is this mod a simple .apk installation, or something far more complex?
I have a background in theming and modifying UI elements in iOS (as I was an avid iPhone user from 2008 to mid-2013), but this is my first time wanting to modify the looks of my Android device. Any help, links, or guidance is much appreciated!
I've attached a screenshot of my device's lockscreen with white status bar icons, and I've also attached an screenshot from a Nexus device with the blue UI elements that I'm desiring.

Yes definitely grab wanam. You can do what you want, actually mine looks kinda like what you're going for, and its really easy to do.

Tried uploading a similar pic as far as my notification panel goes but wouldn't let me..

The reason you want to port are extremely minor. If you want If you don't like the icons then use a Icon pack if you want the extra number row use a keyboard like swiftkey and all google widgets are the for the Z2. All your issues can be solved without porting a single app -_-

i know about all that, i'm not dumb tho, but: original stuff is better than 3rd party apps, would be great to have official Z2 keyboard with 5 rows and the icon packs doesn't support 5.0.2 yet (i guess, bcz i tried)

Old holo systemui?

I've been looking for a way to replace the lollipop notification pulldown with the one from the old holo systemui (the one with the toggles on a separate page, e.g. on jellybean). I'm currently running rooted CM13 on this phone.
I know some people prefer the new design, but I like the old one better. Would it be possible to do this, short of using CM11? I haven't seen anything anywhere similar to this.
Thanks

Just choose a JB or KK rom.

Uh, this is quite improbable. Worth's more downgrading to some ROM which uses Holo. You can also dual boot your phone xD

Misc. theme questions

I have had my T-Mobile V30 for almost two weeks now, and am really happy with it. The battery life is OUTSTANDING. And I did the full Pixel 2 mods, with the Pixel 2 launcher, and made all the Google apps default, like Google Phone, Google Calendar, Google Messages, etc... Did the LG Package Disbaler too, which worked great.
Anyways few theme questions, coming from my Nexus 6P previously;
- I really miss Substratum theme engine, and a specific theme in 'Swift Dark'. I know Substratum now works for the Galaxy S8 / Note 8 line, no root needed. Any chance we see it work for LG phones ?
- Is there a mod or theme to give us the Pixel nav bay keys ? The solid white nav keys.
- Will there ever be a way to fully theme notifications and drop down shade ? I run a great dark theme the G theme, and it's not the developers fault, I know it's an LG issue, but sucks when notifications still come in white, and pulling down the notification shade the message is white still, while the rest of the phone is themed dark.
Can you do a screenshot of your home page? I'd like to see how it looks looking like stock Google
What's everyone using to share pictures now that Photobucket is gone ?
Not sure to be honest but I know there are quite a few alternatives but just can remember them !

EMUI 9 theme with complete icon change?

Hey Guys,
Is there any Theme available for Mate 20 pro, which changes the Notch icons like Battery, Wifi etc like the way it works on EMUI 5 or 8 themes?
Got bored with the same set of icons on Notch.
Regards,
RG
Seems impossible
Seeking the same thing too... I really hate those ugly icons... But some sources say that EMUI 9 banned ways changing those icons..............
