How to Get Android Oreo’s Notification Shade on Any Phone: 5 Steps
Step 1: Jump into your Google Play Store and search for an app called Material Notification Shade (you can tap on this link too).
Note
You can not do this if you’re already on Android Oreo. You must be running Android Lollipop or higher.
Step 2: Once you’re done installing the app, go ahead and open it. Great! Now turn on the toggle for ON at the very top of your screen. This enables the Oreo-style Notification Shade you wanted.
Step 3: Now from there enable Write, Drawing and Notifications permissions so that it shows the shades for those too. Then tap Done.
Step 4: You’re almost done! Now do you see Themes? Great. Under Themes select Panel Theme. Then tap for Oreo. This makes sure that the Notification Shade that you’re getting is of Oreo’s one. (you can also try the Nougat one too)
Step 5: Time to try your new Notification Shade 😀 All you have to do is just pull down your Notification panel to see your new shade.
That’s it!
Bonus tip
There’s loads of other options you can go for too and not just the stock Android Oreo look.
Just head back into the app, and into the settings and tap on Notification Theme.
You can go for an all out Dark theme, Or mix and match between different colors by tapping on Coloured.
You can also add your own background image as your Notification Shade by tapping on Shade Background Color.
Try out and see which one suits you.
Have fun!
