Is there a way/app that will allow me to use the Oneplus X's AMOLED screen as a makeshift alarm clock, and keep it the clock displayed at all times in the night?
Always On display option + Ambient display can do that.
Or you can use the screen saver option while charging.
That options are in a lot of Roms.

The night clock background on my Dinc was much darker than the background on the Rezound. Is there any way to make the background black/turn it off without losing the clock feature?
Also, you could turn on the night clock from the Desk clock screen on the Dinc. Again, with the Rezound, once you go to the Desk clock, it takes about 5 minutes to enter the night clock mode. Is there a way/button to toggle to get in the night clock mode?
My Dinc has the AMOLD display which is known for deep, dark blacks. My Rez has an LCD...black background is slightly backlit.
I couldn't find a fast way to get to the standard night clock. After installing and removing numerous night clocks apps I settled on the app NIGHTCLOCK which allows independent adjustment of text and background brightness. Problem solved for me...ymmv.

Thanks for the heads-up on the difference between the Dinc (AMOLD display) and the Rez LCD.
Can you tell me which NightClock you used. The one I purchased was Night Clock (Ned Fox) but it does not have an adjustment for the backlight and was essentially no darker than the stock. There are probably 5-6 Night Clocks in the market and I thought I had tried them all and still didn't get the black like on the Dinc.
I think this would be great hack/mod for my GNex for displaying notifications if one can make only part of the AMOLED screen visible when the display is off. Apps like battery monitor and resource monitor would look great then. This region can also be used for a RSS ticker display. Is there any such app/mod/hack aready?
Cheers.
Is there a way to show the current display brightness set by Android's "auto" brightness?
I'd like to analyze sometimes in what level it's being set by the light sensor so I could consider controlling manually.
Sometimes it's just too high for the ambient, and could be using less battery.
I tried some apps on Google Play, like Brightness Motion, that show current screen brightness on widget or status bar but when in auto mode they'll only display "auto" instead of the percentage.

Have you tried this one? And here's another one.
Let us know if you find something that works.

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.
