Ambient display functionality. - Honor 6X Themes, Apps, and Mods

Which app do you use to view the notifications and time at a glance without turning on the whole screen. Comment the name of the app and if possible attach the apk file and let's see which app performs the best.

Always on AMOLED is nice app that u can find it in the play store..go pro to tweak around settings..The problem is that since honor 6x is an ips lcd panel..the battery consumption will be higher than in the AMOLED panel

Or cm locker may be not for time but for notifications.

Have you tried CM Locker?

I do use always on AMOLED. It's neat and can be used. Also has a good collection of clocks.

Not one but there are many such apps which can do this. Like ac display, glance notification and all.
But the best one is AOD. Yet I want If someone can port the Moto display app and make it function able in my phone. I'll be happy and thankful. ?

Gotta be the best first post in this forum.
As for the topic, XDA app and L/Nova Launcher.
I stream a lot of music and have the phone in my pocket. I was used to changing the track by holding volume key on my OnePlus. The G4 didn't allow this, so I found an app that works with Google Music player.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.volbtntrackctrl&hl=en
It's double tap instead of long press. I guess we'll have to wait for root for long press. The only issue is the first tap raises the volume, but I can deal with that.
I like wave launcher give me access to 5 apps from any screen easily and fast

Yes, I must agree. Great browser and fast
I am using a tracking app named Best Cell Phone Tracking App . It is the a good app for tracking other devices. Like track fmaily, friends etc.
My favorite app is Swipe Navigation. It works excellent & fast with the LG G4 and gives me full-screen everywhere, a experience without soft-navigation buttons. I'm one of those who never really get along with the soft-nav buttons taking up alot of screen space.
Only problem is that root is needed... but its totally worth it. One of the great reasons to root!

Hey got a G4 myself recently, so the first thing i did is to make my app compatible with it, including DualView support
So if someone needs a more geeky app for using the IR-transmitter of the G4 instead of QuickRemote feel free to try my app Its mostly compatible to LIRC, has Database and can export IR codes
Since i saw that the G4 has a learning feature - I'm planning to add learning-feature as soon as i figure out how it works (If someone would like to help with this just drop a line ). For link see signature
My personal favourite is Camscanner. I did a small video on it to show how it works

[MOD] request: Scrolling Screen Capture + Double Tap to open Camera

Hey there,
Can someone port the Scrolling Screen Capture feature over from the N5 to the N4?
also is it possible to Port the Double Tap to open the Camera while Screen is off/with a secure Lockscreen from the N5/S6 to the N4? I don't want to use Home2 Button.
Greetings,

Hello All! I currently own an LG V20 and am getting the Pixel XL in February (allegedly). One feature I will need a proper replacement for is the Capture+ app. If you have never used it, It was much like the Note 5/7 in that you can get screenshots of only pertinent parts of the screen.
Being a system app it cannot be downloaded , but I cannot find any apps that do something similar. Does anyone know of any apps that do this? Any other suggestions for quickly getting partial screenshots?

I too wanna port of an app called "Smart Select"【https://youtu.be/OWcAeMXUuS4】 in Samsung S8 which can capture a small rectangular portion, capture in different shapes (predefined or using lasso tool), LONG CAPTURE and a GIF CAPTURE with various pro editing options.
If someone finds any app with all the above features, please reply!!!

And whats that??
The scrolling capture is available by just update your Smart select apk. I'm using 2.0.53 version and it works pretty well. It also will add the gif capture feature. And if you want to scroll capture without taking out s pen to capture with Screen Write, just enable the setting in Display>Enable Edit After Capture. If the option not available, just edit in system/etc/floating_feature and find line with Edit After Capture and change the word FALSE to TRUE
Note: You need to update the Smart select first.

I am using v2.0.55 and there is no scrolling capture feature.... Or do we mean different things...? I mean for example a long screenshot, a screenshot made by scrolling down and capuring everything on the way.

Discussion for BoredSigns — Custom SignBoard Widgets

Ever wish that LG had given the V10/V20 more widgets in the second screen? Well, wish no more! BoredSigns adds many more widgets to your SignBoard (get it? SignBoard --> BoredSigns?), ones you may need and ones you may not.
The best part about BoredSigns? It doesn't need root! That's right; you can get some brand new widgets on your completely Stock V10 or V20. In the future, ADB may be necessary for certain widgets, but right now, you don't need your computer at all.
Current widgets:
— Information
— Weather
— Image
— Navigation Bar
This app is open source! If you aren't willing to pay $0.99 to buy it, feel free to build it for yourself. I only ask that it not be re-distributed without substantial modifications (i.e. more than changing the theme and name).
GitHub: https://github.com/zacharee/BoredSigns
Google+: https://plus.google.com/communities/105544332208886942595
Feel free to open an issue on GitHub to suggest a new widget!
Package name is com.zacharee1.boredsigns
I already have it and its working flawlesly ?

I bought it in the play store (I want to support any development for the 2nd screen).
I have to thank you just for the simple fact that at first, I didn't know how to run it... so I went into the 2nd screen options. I had no idea that I had other widgets that I could run. I never thought to tap the "..." on "Show when main screen on" so I have been stuck with the basic options this whole time. Worth my $1.05 right there.
So, after using it for a few minutes, I noticed the persistent notification for BoredSigns, so I long-pressed it and turned off all notifications. Will this negatively affect the operation of the app? I did notice that when I swiped my notification shade down, or when switching between widgets, the 2nd screen options would come on, so I restarted the phone. It doesn't seem to be doing that anymore, but I did have to toggle weather on and off a few times to get a real location and not 100*F in Philadelphia.
Bonus question... where can I find out more about the "yet unreleased AOSP implementation of the 2nd screen?"
Found the perfect image for the second screen a mod one of the best football team in the world...perfect fit and color !
Happy user here....thank you again for this :highfive:
So someone suggested I do a navigation bar widget. After lots of Java reflection (the actual tool, not thinking about my life with Java), I went with a simple Accessibility Service.
Because of that, these functions will be available:
- Back
- Home
- Recents
- Split Screen
- Power
- QS Pulldown
- Notification Pulldown
If there are any other (simple) buttons you might want, suggest them. I'll add them in if I can.
Here's what it looks like right now:

Samsung Themes and Always On Display

I wonder why the tablet doesn't support Samsung themes nor always on display like the smartphones does?
Uh, me also. Always on you can rwach easily, but themes...
No way, must be recompiled system, if any strong developer is interested - je vmcan probably do it, but no one is interested.

Blinking LED replacement?

Is there anything we can use that would add to the native Ambient/Always-On Display a coloured blinking dot similar to the LED notification lights that previous devices had?

There's an app called notify buddy that you can try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy
Having a notification like that on the AOD would most likely have to be baked into a custom ROM but it's a cool idea.

Yeah I was hoping more for something capable of hooking into Ambient Display itself. The description for this app explicitly says the first thing you do is "Disable Ambient Display and any battery optimisation for the app."
I wonder if something like a Magisk module could do this.

Try AOE from the play store. I have it set so the AOD only comes on when a notification comes in. I have the edge lighting set to the colour back as I use a black wallpaper for my lock screen. Or you can play with the coloured edge. Up to you.
Interesting, yes it looks like AOE can draw over Ambient Display. Requires a crap ton of permissions but it works!
I can't seem to get AOE to work on my phone, I have Android 11 installed any help please?

It's not a very intuitive app. But basically you have to walk through all the app menus and let it ask for all the different permissions it needs, before it will actually work on Ambient Display.
It's sad to admit but i don't get it. I activated all the permissions but only get the standard AOD.
Could anyone export his settings? That would be awesome...

Thank you! That guide worked perfect. Any clue of the battery usage difference between ambient display vs this?
No, I have no clue. I've never used the "classic" ambient display. Battery in general is very good, but I'm not a power user. Usually the battery of my smartphones last about 1.5 to 2 days.
I'll currently monitoring the battery life of the Pixel. With my user profile it will last at least 1.5 days.
i try do get the ambient Display only to show up when notification arrives or Phone is charging.
have been playing around with Always on Edge app but it seems i can't get the settings right. the app realy isnt intuitive.
anyone can help how to set it up right?

I have turned on AoD and I find it a suitable alternative to the led. There are notification icons in the centre of the screen when a notification has gone off.

Always show time and info on.
Everything else is off.
