Material Notification Shade is an app that brings features from Android Oreo to your notification center, offering extensive customization options. It replaces your default notification panel and provides a custom quick settings menu with gesture detection. The app boasts a range of features, including stock themes, full color customization, powerful notification management (read, snooze, dismiss), quick reply for Android 5.0 devices, automatic notification bundling, and notification card themes.
You can also customize the quick settings panel by changing the background or foreground color, brightness slider color, and profile picture. Root access is optional but grants the app control over certain settings. The app utilizes the Accessibility Service API for an enhanced user experience, without collecting personal information.
