Is there a way to change the ambient display to come on whenever you wake the screen, then you have the choice to show the lockscreen?
I would love this feature on my phone

I noticed everytime I swipe to check my notifications my brightness levels change forcing me to set them again. I don't like the auto brightness optiom so I wanted to know if there was an app that would lock the brightness levels
Not that I know of. There are widgets that let you toggle brightness options, but don't lock them there.
It sounds like your solution is to stop sliding your finger from left to right on the notification bar. That's what's changing your brightness. Just pull it straight down when you need it.
I may be misunderstanding the issue, but it sounds like the power saving setting under settings> sound and display. The option is at the bottom by tv out. Alternatively turn off auto brightness (assuming you haven't already.)
Edit: there's also a brightness setting in the browser (menu> more> brightness setting)

It seems that TouchWiz has a brightness toggle built into the notification bar. If you just barely pull down, then slide sideways, you change the brightness. Just pull down faster and/or straighter to avoid it.
Is there any way of displaying a coloured watchface all the time?

What do you mean by displaying colored watch face all the time? If you want your watch face on all the time, you need to go to the Android Wear app on your phone and click Settings -> Always-on screen.
I'm guessing he means NOT in AMBIENT mode.
You can use FacerPro and custom design a face to NEVER DIM. It's pretty easy.
Not sure of any other way...

There are a few, minimal and elegant and bubble cloud widget are two I use.
Make sure you have always on selected in settings.
Edit:I'm guessing he means when the watch goes into ambient mode, there are a few that still display color in ambient.
It's up to the watch face to draw the ambient and normal mode, but this ambient mode has been made to save battery life.
I made one using sensors and managing ambient mode, but I will check the differences between the 2 states in battery life.
Depends on the watch face.
I add it as an option to my watchfaces so people are able to turn the ambient mode off.
Which watchface did you want to be always on? If it's a simple watchface I can recreate it without the ambient mode.
There many watchfaces you can choose aspect in dim mode and keep same than active mode.
use staylit wear app
U can use staylit wear
it keeps screen on all the time
but battery gets depleted in 4 hours
also chance of screen burn

It does, at least in cm12.1 and aosp5.1.1/6.0.1 there is a setting to show it when moving device or even by waving hand over proximity sensor. I think it should be in cm13 too but I haven't tried it yet.

Well waving hand works but not moving device
I can't believe I'm just now seeing this lol, I've been looking into it man. Active Display requires a lot of Motorola Dependencies, but I haven't gave up on it yet
I love the look of Ambient Display mode so I have one question. Is there any way to make a locksreen look like when it's in Ambient mode? No wallpaper, only watch and black/white notifications. I want to have this look always when I wake up my OPX, not only when I get any notification.
Thank you for any suggestions :highfive:

Change wallpaper on lockscreen settings with a black one and you've done
Edit. Seems that we can't
Well if you have OOS you can change the lockscreen wallpaper in settings->display-> lockscreen wallpaper.
I also found a way to make everything black and white (notification I mean).
I like to play with TASKER and the quickest thing to do was:
Create a profile with kernel adiutor with the scale of greys that will be triggered by tasker when the screen goes off
then create a profile of kernel adiutor with normal colors and it's triggered when you unlock your phone.
The only problem is that take a second to get back all the colors on you screen when you unlock it but you can give it a try
Try using the AC Display lock screen, works really well. It's got an ambient display interface. You'll like it.

So before upgrading to the Nord N105G I had a OnePlus 6T, which was a very reliable phone. I had it since launch, and I got very used to the behavior of the ambient display.
I didn't have any of those new-fangled features enabled like Smart Lock or Face Unlock, but I did use the fingerprint scanner but that's neither here nor there.
The display behavior I expect is that a single-tap will turn on the display (from completely off) to the black ambient display with the clock on it. Double tap to wake works just fine, but single tap does not.
Also possibly related: On the 6T I could use quick gestures to launch the flashlight etc from either a display-off state or the ambient display. However, on the Nord, quick gestures do not work on the ambient display - they can only be triggered when the display is fully off. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
Also, I'm curious. If I use Titanium Backup (rooted) to back up the old Ambient Display app from the OP6T and then restore it to the new phone I wonder if they'd play nice. Might fiddle a bit...
No.
This isn't the same phone by a long shot and the display is one of those big changes.
Ambient display and it's features are limited to oled (and derivatives) screens.
At most, you'd be lucky if the app even registers.

I totally get what you're saying, and you seem knowledgeable, so you're likely right. However, other than the quirks I've described the Ambient display works exactly the same as it did on the OP6T.
For example, Plus Beat still works even though it hasn't been supported since shortly after the release of the 6t. It was designed for an OLED display as a replacement for a standard notification LED (Lighting up a few pixels on an OLED screen IS essentially a notification LED). Plus Beat will wake the N105G's ambient display and display the exact same notification info; obviously its lighting up the entire display to do this, but whatever foundation was originally laid to wake the ambient display doesn't seem to have changed.
So, when I find the time to flash the newest TWRP and make a backup, I will fiddle with it anyway, because contrary to your statement, I think the OP6T ambient display app will replace the N105G's app just fine. Whether the native Android settings will hook into it functionally or not is a whole different beast.
Ambient Display is useless for IPS screens. I use Glimpse Notifications, it normally turns on the screen and a bunch of settings

I don't understand why you'd prefer lighting the lock screen with Glimpse Notifications when Plus Beat still functions as a notification LED (with info) on the black background ambient display. It's not true black obviously because it's not an OLED display, but it's pretty close.
