Only real messages now reach the cover screen, and any messaging app can be picked.

  • Filtering — an app's own notifications (send failures, number verification, spam warnings, web pairing) no longer light the cover screen pretending to be messages.
  • Group chats — the panel shows the chat's name, with the speaker in the preview. With message content switched off, it shows the chat name alone.
  • Better sender names — read from the message itself rather than the notification title. Your own replies syncing back from another device are no longer announced at you.
  • App picker — no longer limited to apps that can send a text. Messaging apps are detected and listed, with anything that has actually messaged you floated to the top. Apps switched on but never seen posting a message are marked so.
  • Photos — a picture with no caption announces as "Photo" instead of a blank line.

Google Messages is the supported app; everything else is experimental.

Install cover-notifier.apk, then grant notification access from the setup screen. Signed with a debug key; sideload only. Requires Android 11 on the CAT S22 FLIP.
