Kompakt notifications

Forgive me if this has already been covered, but I wondered how Kompakt lets you know if you have a missed call or text. In other words, do you have to unlock the phone to see a notification.

I know it’s not officially supported but does anyone know if the notification on the Home Screen would also show message notifications from WhatsApp once side loaded?

@aled I have WhatsApp sideloaded on my Mudita Kompakt & the only notification I get is audible- a little ping. Nothing shows up on the home screen.

And are you able to silence that ping so you get no notifications at all? Because that to me is the best part of the device, and the reason I want to probably sideload a minimalist launcher, the only thing I want to interrupt me are phone calls, I find even if I see a missed text notification on the Kompakt homepage, I am going to be sucked into checking it. What I love about the light phone 2 right now is I have a blank screen with just the time and no notifications enticing me

@minimalist4life You can silence it. There is also an option to turn off the vibration.

Hi @urszula - I can’t turn off the vibration for Signal messages, even when I have muted the sound. Is there any way to do this?

@landbrugsmedisteren Unfortunately, that’s one of the downsides of sideloading because we cannot control how the app behaves.

For what it’s worth, I may have found out how to mute vibrations from an app using the adb command and removing VIBRATE from the app manifest through this command (while in a adb shell on the devices):

appops set [PACKAGENAME] VIBRATE ignore

Unfortunately I’m not sure what packagename Signal uses, no package on my device is named anything containing the string signal.

Get the list of installed packages from the device, while on your computer (with the device connected via adb):

adb shell cmd package list package

Search for a specific string like this:

adb shell cmd package list package | grep "specific-string"

The Signal packagename is: org.thoughtcrime.securesms.

So to stop the vibrations, you should use this:

appops set org.thoughtcrime.securesms VIBRATE ignore

Personally it continued for me, but I force killed the app and reopened it.
Haven’t received any vibrations afterwards. But I’m not 100% sure it did the trick yet.

Bummer, for some reason, it didn’t work. @urszula can we get a setting, next to the background light and sound, that disables all vibrations?

@landbrugsmedisteren I’ve passed this on to the team :slight_smile:

I’m not sure why this didn’t work for you. Maybe it has something to do with Signal itself, because this worked for me on the alarm app, so thank you for this tip!
