Heads-up Notifications Mod Apk
Any device running Android 5.0 Lollipop or higher can enjoy heads-up notifications without needing root access. Far more than a simple backport, this application is highly praised by users for outperforming the native feature. Key Highlights:
Heads-up displays your latest notifications in a floating popup, complete with full text and quick action buttons (version 4.1).
Compatible with all Android devices running version 3.1 or later.
Take full control: The app features five distinct customization pages to tailor your notification experience.
Pocket detection: Your screen automatically wakes up when you pull your device out of your pocket after receiving a message.
Privacy: Your lock screen remains secure. Additionally, the app lacks internet permissions, ensuring your private data is never transmitted anywhere.
Heads-up is lightweight and is not designed as a lockscreen replacement app.
Supported languages:
Thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers, the app is available in over 20 languages, though no new translations are currently being accepted.
Common troubleshooting:
Verify that the Heads-up service is active in your running services list. If it isn't, enable it and restart your device.
For Huawei, Xiaomi, and MIUI users: You can manage popups by navigating to Settings > Apps > Downloaded. You may occasionally need to clear app data or reset settings.
The app requires Device Administrator permission to resolve issues where the screen fails to wake up. Only grant this if you experience that specific bug. Note that if granted, the standard uninstall button may be disabled; to remove the app, go to System Settings > Security > Device administrators > Heads-up and select Disable.
The app can read notifications on devices running Android 4.2 and up. If it fails to trigger, check if another accessibility service is interfering and disable it.
Open source status:
Heads-up is released under the GPL open-source license.
You are welcome to develop your own version of the app, provided you also keep the source code open.
Please note that the original developer is no longer maintaining this project.
