As many of you have noticed, the notification light on the LGOG is annoyingly slow. In light of this, I sought out a solution. I've tried Light Flow, which worked well enough, but it wasn't quite what I wanted. I thought I was on to something with Tasker (awesome app!) and had something functional. Then I saw the great work from GermainZ here posted by TangoXray here and saw that it was possible to also include using the capacitive button backlights similar to BLN (back in the Samsung Captivate days). After a while of fiddling, I've come up with this Tasker-made app.
I designed it to be straight forward, yet have several options. It's a bit simpler to use than GermainZ's app, but is not as powerful or customize-able since it is designed specifically for the E970 (it may work with other devices, but I doubt it).

}
It requires:
1. Root Root is NO LONGER NEEDED!!!
2. Secure Settings (has a needed plug-in for Tasker and allows the screen to be woken up). The app will prompt for installation of this from the Play Store (it's FREE).
3. Accessibility enabled. The app has a button to quickly access it.
The options are:
1. LED on and off times (in milliseconds) are adjustable. However, it appears the system has a limit to how small of an off time is allowed.
Default: 1000 ms on and 100 ms off2. Notify duration (in seconds) for how long you want it to work before shutting off after a new notification. This way your lights aren't flashing for too long (this should be a battery saving measure if you suspect you might leave your beautiful phone alone for very long).
Default: 600 s (10 minutes if you needed help with the math )3. Screen On With Notify. When enabled, the screen will turn on momentarily (roughly 3 seconds) when a new notification arrives. I find this helpful so I can quickly look at the notification bar when the notification arrives without having to touch the phone.
Default: On4. Button Lights. When enabled, the button backlights will pulse at the rate specified with the LED on/off times.
Default: On5. LED Light. When enabled, the red notification light around the power button will pulse at the rate specified with the LED on/off times.
Default: On6. ONN Notification. When enabled, a notification will appear in the dropdown when you receive a new notification. This can be clicked to clear the light flashing, but still keep the message in the notification bar. This can also be set to permanent (until the notification is cleared). This is pretty much only useful if you "swipe" away your notifications. Since I haven't found a way to clear the light flashing from such an action, the lights will continue to flash until you open up one of the supported apps.
Default: On and On7. Clear On Unlock (Go Locker). When enabled, the ONN notification will clear and cancel the blinking when you unlock your phone. The app's notification that triggered the event will still be in your notifications. Now works with Go Locker (the only 3rd party lockscreen I've tried it with)! I assume that the stock lockscreen and Go Locker trigger in different ways. I hope to get it to work with other lockscreens.
Default: On (Go Locker Off)8. Clear On Screen On. When enabled the ONN notification will clear and cancel the blinking when the screen turns on. Even if you have the "Screen On With Notify" enabled, it will still keep the notification until you purposefully turn the screen on.
Default: On9. No Timeout While Charging. When enabled, the ONN notification and blinking will not timeout while your phone is charging. When you unplug, the timeout timer restarts.
Default: On10. Battery Level Cutoff %. When your battery is below this level, the ONN notification and blinking will cancel and no new notifications will trigger ONN.
Default: 20%11. Constant LEDs. When enabled, the lights do not blink, but rather stay on. This has the trade-off of not needing the app to use loops (helps with battery), but potentially uses more battery since the light is on more. More testing is needed to see if it hurts.
Default: Off12. No LED while Charging. Turns off the LED when charging so that the light is only used for notifications. The light will still turn on momentarily when you plug in the charger.
Default: On
There is also an option to test your settings. You just need to turn your screen off and then when you're done, click "stop". Be aware that the first time you use it, it may behave a little off until you grant root access. After this, it *should* work smoothly.
Right now, I have it set to trigger on notifications from:
Calendar
Email
Gmail
Google Voice
Messaging
Missed calls
Google Talk
Contacts +
K-9 Mail
WhatsApp
Line
To reset the notification, you can do one of the following:
Click on the notification
Click on the ONN notification in the dropdown (if enabled)
"Clear" the notification in the dropdown
Open one of the supported apps (you could open Gmail to clear a text, for instance)
Click the "Stop" button within the app (next to the "test" button)
Using #7 or #8 above
Other recommendations:
Inside the app SuperSU, you can set it to not show a "toast" notification each time. Otherwise, it gets a little annoying seeing "ONN has been granted superuser access" each time.
I have turned off the ONN Notification toggle so I don't get the extra icon in my notification bar (and so the new notification stays visible a little longer instead of the ONN Notification "scrolling" up.
Inside System Settings --> Display --> Notification Flash, turn off the "Use LED light for notifications". I'm not sure it would interfere, but I figure might as well leave it off so it doesn't cause issues.
When updating the app, if you encounter issues, clear the app data.
I will later try to add more features and spruce it up a bit. But for now, I think it's quite functional. Please let me know if there's anything not working or if something should be added. I'm new to app making with Tasker, so it's a bit of a learning experience. I have also attached the Tasker XML that I used to create the app in case anyone wants to use that or improve it.
Changelog:
v1.1
Fixed the Google Talk trigger
Added ability to clear notification by turning on the screen or unlocking the phone
Added no timeout while charging
Added auto-cancel when battery below user-specified value
Spruced up and modified the UI
Added "About" to the UI
v1.2
Fixed Messaging and Email clear (forgot to actually add these originally)
Added Go Locker unlock
Fixed lights getting stuck (prevented the task from disappearing when the screen is off)
Added support for Contacts + and K-9 Mail
v1.3
Added support for Line and WhatsApp
Added constant on for the LEDs toggle (instead of blinking)
-the red power LED will still pulse like it did for charging
Added "No LED while Charging" toggle so the LED is only used for notifications and not for charging.
-the light will still turn on momentarily and then turn off
Improved battery usage (hopefully).
-This *will* still use more battery than if you didn't use it since the lights are on longer than the stock notification interval
v1.3.1
Removed need for root (I no longer use the echo "255" script--instead, I saw that the max brightness for the button backlights is 3, so I could just use the Tasker function).
Two versions--one with the K9 Plugin (you will need to have K9 installed whether you want it or not), the other without the plugin so you don't have to install the app (it's free, so it's not a huge deal IMO). It will still work with notifications sent from the K9 app either way and opening the K9 app will clear notifications.
Made sure it works with Jellybean (thanks to gstar101 for catching the earlier incompatibility)
Bugs:
Still behaves a bit funny at first (specifically after the first install and before root access is granted)
*May* experience higher amounts of battery consumption. Please let me know if this happens (I've been getting roughly 3 or 4% battery usage from ONN).
TODO:
Find a way to get the screen on function to work without Secure Settings
Get 3rd party lockscreens (besides Go Locker) to cancel the notification
Add other apps to trigger ONN?
Eventually, I will release this on Google Play under my developer name "NanoTech". First, I'd like some feedback on what bugs need to be fixed or features that should be added. GENTLE feedback is appreciated!
Special thanks to GermainZ for answering questions about Tasker and putting up with me. Also, thanks to TangoXray for letting us know about ButtonLED in the LGOG forum.
Good job
You could probably make it work without secure settings: try using shell commands to control the screen's backlight. If I'm not mistaken, something like "echo 255 > path" will turn the screen on if it's off (you can then use the user defined variable for brightness, since Tasker can get that).
Good luck!
Edit: Actually, using an intent to turn the screen on should be much easier. I have the habit of over complicating things, lol. Google it if you like, not sure what the syntax is (you can either use the shell or the built in Intent action).
Awesome!
Edit: It works well by the way.
Working pretty well :thumbup:
Love that you incorporated the ability to have both cap buttons and led blink together.
Nice job!

Works great, for me it hasn't been killing my battery, and makes the notification light usable. Only thing that slightly bothers me is that the notification light doesn't smoothly pulse, but that's a small price to pay.
Great job.

I'm pretty sure setting the red led to anything greater than 0 sets the led to pulse. To get smooth pulses, adjust the on times. I'd start with 3 seconds and adjust from there.

Since I use the Diztrinuc case, which blocks the power button, this app is indispensable. Thanks for putting it together! This works great to enable the front button lights as notification lights.

Thanks, seems to be working quite well! I have a couple of feature requests, but I don't know how feasible they are.
1. Is it possible to light each of the buttons separately, or can they only be controlled as a single unit? It would be nice if we could assign each button to a specific notification. For example, light the "home" button for texts, the "back" button for emails, etc. It would somewhat make up for the fact that our LED is only a single color.
2. Can you add an option that makes unlocking the phone stop the pulsing, regardless of whether or not the notification was checked?

I'm glad it's working well! Also, no one has told me any bugs, which means that I made it flawless--doubtful--or, any issues are small. Either way, I'm fine .
I had thought about the individual control, but I'm pretty sure they are all connected. So, to my knowledge, that is not possible.
I like your 2nd idea! I'll work that into the next release. I'll probably release something new soon (likely, this weekend) that is a big re-work of the whole thing. I'm trying to add the option to have the notification stay on as long as it is charging (so it won't timeout), as well as have it stop if the battery is below a certain percentage. I've also fixed the Google Talk notification. I haven't been able to find a different way to get the screen to wake up momentarily without the use of Secure Settings. Personally, I don't think it's a big deal, but it's probably preferable to not need to download a second app--even if it is free. I'll bug GermainZ some more to see if he has any ideas for me .
Almost had a bug for you. Figured out it was the permanent on option lol Nice work.
Btw, that wakelock issue that we talked about hasn't reappeared :thumbup:

#2 a million times over! I;'ve noticed that even accessing my messages after I get a notification will not stop the notification. I have to go into my status bar and click the ONN icon in order for the pulsing to stop. Sometimes, this can go on FOREVER without me knowing it and my battery just decides to crap out.
The program is awesome tho!! Just would like that feature.
I have a feature request. Can you make it where the light does not come on for charging. I keep it plugged in so it keeps pulsing and I always think I have a notification. Thank you

I like that idea as well. I had tried something to get that last week, but couldn't get it to work reliably. I'll definitely keep trying and include it in one of the next releases if/when I figure it out.
Keep the requests coming! I'll do what I can. Although Tasker is awesome, it does take some time making apps on a phone screen.

I'd also like to see this implemented, if possible. Otherwise, I'll keep saying it, this is a very very VERY useful app. Thanks again for the work!
The app seems to be going haywire on my phone. I've re-installed it a few times now. It will work fine for a day then the led doesn't blink when I get a notification and the battery use for ButtonLED jumps up to around 60%. Any ideas?

That's interesting. What settings do you have on the app? Do you have any other Tasker profiles running? Each time you re-install, you'll need to re-enable the Accessibility as well.
On the version I'm working on now, I'm trying a method to reduce battery usage by disabling the profiles that look to see if one of the apps that generate a notification (Gmail, Voice, etc.) is open (and thus clear the notification) when there is no notification. That way, it won't be polling the apps when it doesn't need to. I'm not sure if that will have much of an impact.
However, I haven't ever seen my battery usage jump up that high (usually, it stays below 4% for me--but I usually clear my notifications fairly soon after they come). Are you using my app (ONN) or GermainZ's (ButtonLED)? I would recommend not using both at the same time.

No problem (I'm glad it's not something wrong with my app!). I hope you get it sorted out. However, you could see if using my app makes any difference (although GermainZ is a lot more experienced than I am, so the likelihood of mine working and his not isn't all that great ). Also, did you re-enable Accessibility after your re-installation of his app? I'm pretty sure every time you uninstall something, it clears that and you would need to re-enable when you install it again.

The LED stops blinking and then the duration changes to something else.
Introducing Pixel Pulse - a simple app to make your Ambient Display pulse when you have notifications!
Choose the interval and select the apps you want you to cause your screen to wake.
Optional paid features let you select different icons and colors for specific apps but the interval and app filter core functionality is all free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
If you had previously purchased Ambi-Turner, it has been updated for the new permissions, but because it was written for 8.0 and when Google's ambient display worked differently I decided to leave it as it is. You may however transfer your purchase status of Ambient Display to Pixel Pulse using both apps.
FIRST!
So, I've installed and tested and here are my initial findings:
It works great and looks gorgeous!
If you have your notifications set to display the notification contents, those contents will also flash on the screen.
The default display interval of 60 seconds works perfectly, but when I set it to 30 seconds, it flashed approximately every 10 seconds for some reason.
The notification it chooses to flash doesn't appear to be based on the most recent received or highest priority. Can you explain how the app knows which notification to flash on the display?
So far, there is no way to interact with the notification. Swiping away or double tapping do nothing.
The only way to wake the phone is to press the power button or fingerprint scanner.
This is a great start and I hope you please keep up the great work! I will be donating to the cause!

The times were accurate on my pixel 2, but my pixel 3 which only just arrived, was being stopped. Probably due the aggressive process killing I've read about. So this morning I quickly added a secondary wake to keep it from being killed. I'll sync the times when I get home from work.
It uses the natural order of notifications. A priority option would be a good idea.
No interaction yet, but that's planned. So is a blackout period (don't pulse when you're sleeping for example).
Ignore my comment about the notification priority - that was user error.
Feature request: Can you add an option to have the ambient display stay on (no pulsing) until the user bypasses the ambient display screen? The flashing of the ambient display is a little distracting when the phone is on a desk. This way, we could still tell at a glance when we have a notification waiting, but the screen will go back to all black once we act on it or simply unlock the phone.
I can try but it may not be possible without root.

I have been working on a similar app, and could not find a way to get this to work while still allowing the device to doze, so the battery life is heavily impacted. Did you solve the battery drain issue?

Ah, I see. I have not actually run your app. I did not realize that your were pulsing the notifications themselves -- that's clever! For my own implementation, I am animating a fake LED that fades in and out, which obviously requires the screen to be on. The AOD has a way to doze with the screen on, but I have not found a way to expose that functionality to an app without root.
Anyhow, I see you are using setExactAndAllowWhileIdle to schedule your pulses. I wonder what the battery (and timing) impact is compared to setAndAllowWhileIdle?
Nice work on this!
I originally went down the road of doing a custom screen to mimic the LED until I came up with this idea.
From other threads I've seen some people will prefer that even if it uses slightly more battery.

I may be able to use the real icons and colors. If so should I just remove the icon customization or would people still find that useful?
Hi mate, i bought your app right away. If you can integreat the original Icons for the famused apps, that would be great.
And can you look at the puls time? I set my time to 20 seconds but it puls every 40 - 50 seconds? Strange.

just as it is perfect now, only the repetition time does not work reliably
There is a possibility that the AOD stays on until the message has been read
Been looking for a way to customize the notifications since there's no LED light on this phone. I installed and bought you a coffee, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for your efforts.
Hi is this app only usable to Google Pixel phones???
Man this sounds like an awesome app however I'm on an LG V30 (which also doesn't have an LED but this doesn't seem to work. The notification interaction feature alone would be worth the donation.
I'll mess around some more and see if I can get anything
Arc Lighting adds a highly customizable ring of light around the camera cutout of your phone. You can use this light with various indicators such as audio visualization, notification lighting, critical or low battery warnings, as well as a charge indicator. The ring can also appear on your Always-On display. (to make aod work you need to make sure you have downloaded always on amoled and activated it, you also need to make sure samsung stock aod and samsung edge lighting is disabled under samsung display settings you also need to make sure that aod is enabled under arclighting with override set to off)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FibMTD5Mdx8
Features:
- Highly customizable lighting for the Galaxy S20, S20 ultra, S10e, and Note 10. Select a variety of colors, animations, and styles.
- Always show ring with various gradient effects (add multiple colors and make them spin for a visual experience)
- An adjustable glow effect that can be turned on or off (sometimes this can cause the light to freeze to a white glow this will be fixed)
- Notification lighting both when the display is on or off (update planned for only the lockscreen or only inapp)
- Music lighting that syncs the light to your music (does not work together with other indicators so other indicators will stop working if you enable music lighting this will be fixed)
- Battery indicator lighting for charging, low and critical battery states. (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appearm, not configuring zones can freeze the light entirely this will be fixed)
- Device overheating indicator for gamers and power users (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appear, not configuring zones can freeze the light entirely this will be fixed)
- Arc Lighting can be configured to match the color of your wallpaper, the app you're currently in, or both! (this only works for the only show ring and only when you set it to a solid color the option is not available for gradient colors which will be added later)
This app requires certain permissions to function correctly.
Accessibility: This permission is used for the ring to appear over your lock screen, always-on display, and for accessing the color of the current app you're in. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Draw Over Other Apps: This permission allows the ring to show on top of other apps. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Microphone Access: This permission is used to analyze the internal device audio for the music lighting. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to enable the Audio Visualizer indicator for the ring.
Storage Access: This permission is used to get the color of your wallpaper. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to use the color of your wallpaper for the ring.
Notification access: This permission is used to change the color of the ring after notifications
Burn-in concerns: Some Android displays may suffer from mild burn-in if a single item is displayed on the screen for an extremely significant amount of time. If you are concerned about this, feel free to enable the rotation animation in ring settings. That will ensure the display is constantly changing. Alternately, you can disable the default effect to only show the ring while an indicator is being triggered. Note: Samsung Galaxy devices come with burn-in protection that moves the pixels a little each time.

light is constantly flashing even if i cleared all notifications: sometimes theres forced notifications such as when you're charging it will force a notification that says you're fast charging, the light will pick up on these you need to hold on these notifications and turn them off to stop the light there should be nothing at all in the notificationpanel, if you still have a flashing light with nothing in the panel contact me.
frozen light: music lighting will disable all other indicators same with battery indicator or battery temp indicator, you need to set custom zones otherwise the light will be frozen, glow also tends to freeze the light so turn that off if it's frozen (this will be fixed in a coming update)
This may be a good replacement to the good ol' notification LED, thanks !
For me it reports, that the Oneplus 8 Pro is not supported.
But i agree, this app could be really handy without notification LED or AOD

But Op8/Pro is in compatible device list ?
have I been tricked ? :/
It will be supported early or late I guess, this is no sorcery
Awesome, thanks for providing this app and offering free access to xda member. I'd be happy about an unlock code once the oneplus 8 pro is officially supported, so far it didn't work properly.
Thanks buddy!

Arc Lighting adds a highly customizable ring of light around the camera cutout of your phone. You can use this light with various indicators such as audio visualization, notification lighting, critical or low battery warnings, as well as a charge indicator. The ring can also appear on your Always-On display. (to make aod work you need to make sure you have downloaded always on amoled and activated it, you also need to make sure samsung stock aod and samsung edge lighting is disabled under samsung display settings you also need to make sure that aod is enabled under arclighting with override set to off)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FibMTD5Mdx8
Features:
- Highly customizable lighting for the Galaxy S20, S20 ultra, S10e, and Note 10. Select a variety of colors, animations, and styles.
- Always show ring with various gradient effects (add multiple colors and make them spin for a visual experience)
- An adjustable glow effect that can be turned on or off (sometimes this can cause the light to freeze to a white glow this will be fixed)
- Notification lighting both when the display is on or off (update planned for only the lockscreen or only inapp)
- Music lighting that syncs the light to your music (does not work together with other indicators so other indicators will stop working if you enable music lighting this will be fixed)
- Battery indicator lighting for charging, low and critical battery states. (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appearm, not configuring zones can freeze the light entirely this will be fixed)
- Device overheating indicator for gamers and power users (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appear, not configuring zones can freeze the light entirely this will be fixed)
- Arc Lighting can be configured to match the color of your wallpaper, the app you're currently in, or both! (this only works for the only show ring and only when you set it to a solid color the option is not available for gradient colors which will be added later)
This app requires certain permissions to function correctly.
Accessibility: This permission is used for the ring to appear over your lock screen, always-on display, and for accessing the color of the current app you're in. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Draw Over Other Apps: This permission allows the ring to show on top of other apps. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Microphone Access: This permission is used to analyze the internal device audio for the music lighting. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to enable the Audio Visualizer indicator for the ring.
Storage Access: This permission is used to get the color of your wallpaper. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to use the color of your wallpaper for the ring.
Notification access: This permission is used to change the color of the ring after notifications
Burn-in concerns: Some Android displays may suffer from mild burn-in if a single item is displayed on the screen for an extremely significant amount of time. If you are concerned about this, feel free to enable the rotation animation in ring settings. That will ensure the display is constantly changing. Alternately, you can disable the default effect to only show the ring while an indicator is being triggered. Note: Samsung Galaxy devices come with burn-in protection that moves the pixels a little each time.

Just tried it, and it doesn't work as you'd hope - the ring moves down with the adjusted screen position so it's no longer around the camera. I don't use my phone in that mode so it's not an issue for me.
On a happier note it's quite a cute app. Takes a bit of getting used to though.
One to watch out for: If the 'Enabled' switch is turned off (during the test process) then it drops the 'Accessibility Service' permission. Unfortunately the app doesn't realise that (seems to only test on app startup), so when you re-enable it the app then doesn't work (cos the Accessibility Service permission has dropped). To get around I 'force stopped' the app then started it again. It then does the service check and comes up with the pop-up.
Look forward to having a default 'Off' setting so I can enable only for a few specific apps - I have a lot of apps on there and setting them all to 100% transparent is more work than I fancy.
Cheers, Dave

could you explain what you mean by ring moves with the adjusted position, and thank you for reporting the bug.
Hi! Is it possible to get a code for the oneplus 8 notification light app? I'd be glad to test it out !
Thanks
On my Oneplus 8 IN2013 your ring stays a little bit outside the camera hole.
The camera is a little bit lower and to the left.
DM me if you need help.
In my device too the ring is a bit off. I attached a screenshot
This is a great idea. I miss the LED indicator so much after I bought oneplue 8. The position of the ring is not accurate, however, it locates a little up-right of the camera. Hope you can fix it and I will definitly give it a try. Thanks.
Awesome app, like it a lot - is there a way to send some money your way to get rid of the ads, too?
Registered for the Beta, hope it fixes the position issue on the OnePlus 8
Update: Just paid for the full version, got the beta, but none of the cutout settings have any effect on my OnePlus 8, cutout stays in the wrong position.
it seems, the developer was not accounting for the oneplus 8 and 8 pro being different screen sizes please try this file and tell me if it works

Hi zzcool,
at my Oneplus 8 the cutout isn´t placed around the punch hole, the cutout position can´t be chanced either.
Cheers!
Can I get a code for the app too?
Just tried it on the OP8,
The ring is set slightly wrong. The camera is a bit to the left and lower.
There are several problems with the app (in my op8). The ring always appears even if you unlock the screen. The ring cannot be adjusted around the hole of the camera. And most importantly, for the ring to show me when the screen is off I have to have the "Override system" option activated, but when the ring is activated the fingerprint sensor also appears (and does not disappear). This can burn the screen over time and increase battery consumption.
Would love to have code for this one
Great work !!
I'd like a code for the premium edition if you'd be so kind?
I'll leave a review on the play store when I've used it
Thanks!
You need a notification light / LED for your Galaxy S23 Ultra? With aodNotify you can easily add a notification light / LED directly to Samsung's Always On Display!
You can select different notification light styles and show the notification light around the camera cutout, screen edges or even simulate an notification LED dot in the statusbar of your Galaxy S23 Ultra! As the notification light is integrated in Samsung's Always On Display it has minimal battery consumption and doesn't drain your battery like other apps which keep your phone awake!
If you don't need the Always On Display, the app can also activate the Always On Display (AOD) only on notifications or show the notification light / LED even without the Always On Display!
With the notification preview feature you can directly see if you have important notifications without waking your Galaxy S23 Ultra!
MAIN FEATURES:
• Notification light / LED for Galaxy S23 Ultra, Note 20, S20...
• Low energy notification preview (android 10+)
• Activate Always On Display (AOD) only on notifications
• Charging / Low battery light / LED
MORE FEATURES:
• Notification light styles (around camera, screen, LED dot)
• Custom app / contact colors
• ECO animations to save battery
• Interval mode (on/off) to save battery
• Night times to save battery
• Minimal battery consumption
BATTERY USAGE PER HOUR ~:
• LED - 3.0%
• LED & INTERVAL - 1.5%
• LED & ECO - 1.5%
• LED & ECO & INTERVAL - 1.0%
• NOTIFICATION PREVIEW - 0.5%
• ALWAYS ON DISPLAY - 0.5%
If there is no notification the app consumes almost 0% battery
DOWNLOAD:
NOTES:
• Samsung may block this app with future updates!
• Please check if the app is compatible before updating phone software or always on display!
• Altough we never experienced any screen burn in issues on our test devices, we recommend to not keep the notification light / LED active for a long time! Use at you own responsibility!

I used it on the S22 ultra and the previous devices as well. It is one of the first applications I download for all my Samsung devices. The S23 ultra also works perfectly. Again, many thanks for the development.
There is no way I can describe how useful this is for the Galaxy phones. Had it on S21ULTRA, carried it over to the S23ULTRA...a true life saver.
I even combined it with Professional Reminder so I never ignore missed calls and texts.
Two thumbs up for the app and its author.

Although I use these two applications. Perfect couple. It would be good if the knowledge of the prof reminder could be integrated into the aodNotify application.
Hi, is there anyway to also hide the finger print scanner icon? I just want to show the notification ring around the camera on the AOD. I also have the setting "AOD Manager" enabled. Previously, I used this on my pixel 6 pro and the icon was hidden.
I was just curious if the developer of this app was going to continue to develop the side actions button remapper? I noticed it is not on Play store anymore. I can't get the power button to work but the volume buttons still work. I know this is the wrong forum but I searched and couldn't find the other. Thanks.
What about battery? Is it drain a lot?

Yes, you can change this behaviour in the system's fingerprint settings: Settings > Security and privacy > Biometrics > Fingerprints > Show icon when screen is off. There you can set it to Never or Tap to show (like I did).

On my S23 aodNotity had about 1% battery consumption during the past 9 hours (during the night) ... and I received some notifications early this morning.
IMO this is really low and worth it.

Yes, I am also waiting for @Jawomo to release a kind of side actions app for the S23, or make it compatible for the S23. (The app ist still on Google Play, but not compatible for our devices. So, it is not listed when browsing with an S23 in Play store.)
Meanwhile I have set the double click action of the power button to launch the flash light "app": Settings > Advanced fatures > Side key > Double press > Open app and select "Torch".
Disadvantage of this solution is that I liked the camera to be launched be double clicking the power button. Now I must double tap the screen an drag the camera icon to start the camera app.

Have you tried "RegiStar" from good lock? It gives you a bit more setting for the side button. I currently have 2 press for camera and one long press for flashlight.
Hi, just purchased the full version as this is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you.
The one thing I don't seem able to control is the lock screen showing up after the notification disappear. I'm hoping I'm just being a numpty and have a setting somewhere which will sort this out for me. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you.

Please provide a little bit more information.
You mean lock screen or always on display?
So, your screen is off when a notification is received. A small notification bubble is displayed at the top for a short time (about 1 second), then it moves into the app icon and disapears. Then you should see the notification light (like set in aodNotify), and with aodNotify Manager app installed, the rest of the screen should be "black".
You should check your aodNotify settings in "General" section. There you can set always on display settings (mine is "Don't show"), enable aodNotify Manager (mine is enabled), and disable waking up the screen (mine is disabled).

Maybe it's a combination of aodNotify and system settings. Battery consumption is influenced by many different things.

Yes, I am also waiting for @Jawomo to release a kind of side actions app for the S23, or make it compatible for the S23. (The app ist still on Google Play, but not compatible for our devices. So, it is not listed when browsing with an S23 in Play store.)
Meanwhile I have set the double click action of the power button to launch the flash light "app": Settings > Advanced fatures > Side key > Double press > Open app and select "Torch".
Disadvantage of this solution is that I liked the camera to be launched be double clicking the power button. Now I must double tap the screen an drag the camera icon to start the camera app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes I always liked using my power button to double press for a screenshot long press for the power menu and then long press and hold for full screen UI. So right now I'm still using it but only using the volume buttons. So I have volume hold down and I get a screenshot and then in the regular settings I have double tap on the power button set to flashlight and long press set to power menu. So I'm looking forward to him updating it also.
