[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jimv1983:
No LED totally sucks. I don't use AOD because of increased battery drain and increased burn in. So no way to see if there are notifications without picking up the phone. Weak battery was already bad enough.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mva5580:
I understand it's probably not the biggest deal in the world or anything but for me personally if the notification led is gone, I'm probably going back to Apple.

And this isn't the be-all-end-all reason, Google just seems less and less interested in truly making their devices/software unique and if it's going to essentially be the same thing as an iPhone, then I may as well just have an iPhone.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
Kinda OT, but I have to say it's weird that the only other phone i've had that did AOD really good was the OG Moto X. I'll get used it on the P3. I really don't depend on it that much on my P2.... if a notification goes off, I usually hear it or feel the vibration first anyway. Rare are the times I'm spotting a led color "from across the room" lol..
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joetala:
I never have my sound on, drive a truck and use the notification light exclusively for notifications. Forcing me to pick up the phone (as with any professional driver) is ridiculous. Changing colors of the light allowed you to see exactly what or who the notification was from and very private. AOD is distracting and less informative. Makes 0 sense.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kapslock12345:
I've always used the notification led with my OG Pixel, so now I'm getting used to the aod.

My question for you guys is do you have aod turned on and is there noticeable battery drain from it or any other potential downside? Or do you have it where the aod only turns on from lifting the phone or double tapping?

I'm trying to pick what's the ideal way to go with this. I realize it'll probably be a personal preference deal, I've just never had an aod phone before. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kolyan:
I thought that if notification comes in, screen flashes once in a while, but it doesn't seem to do that.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] djy:
Removing the RGB LED was a stupid decision.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Correct, you will never know you have a missed notification after the screen turns off unless you have AOD enabled. Then, the screen stays on all the time, but I just hate how that looks. I'd rather have a blank screen with color coded LED.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsjunker:
I was very disappointed when I heard this and have searched for an adequate software alternative. I found an app called LED Blinker Pro which has tons of customization features to simulate an LED on the OLED screen. The smallest dot size is about the size of the Pixel 2 led and the app works flawlessly so far. I cannot speak to battery impact yet but I'm not too concerned with it. I'd recommend trying out the free Lite version to test it.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bartolo5:
They should add a minimalist AOD. A blink light emulator of sorts would be great actually.... probably would take less battery than full AOD
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyJek:
I am sure an update will be released like this...and if not, the community will do something like this.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] waingro808:
1% per hour is typical for AOD turned on. Very stupid decision to get rid of the LED. Motorola and LG got rid of them too, and that's why I would never buy them.

Verizon seems to think their Pixels have a Message notification light. Search Verizon Pixel 3 notification light.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] scgf:
I've just installed this app. Thanks for the info. It looks great and initially seems to be a good alternative to a real LED. It recommends to turn off doze mode - but I haven't done that. I'm more concerned with seeing messages etc. which turn up during the night when my phone is on charge anyway - so no doze. Did you turn off doze? You've been using the app for a while now - any tips or feedback?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] samnada:
Looks interesting. Don't see any mention of avoiding burn in. Is that a concern?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
The notification flashes so it doesn't stay on all the time
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] samnada:
Got a response from the developer that random positions can be set, so that should solve it as well.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brad2409:
I picked up a Pixel 3 on launch, and this is the only disappointing thing about the device. Unfortunately, it's a pretty big loss. Knowing if I had an unchecked notification at a glance was very convenient with EVERY other Android phone I've had in the past since the HTC One X.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScoobyWRX:
Thanks for the heads up on this, working well for me to :)
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] grokus:
I've just created an app called Pixel Pulse. I could use some testers if anyone is willing to give it a try. You can select the apps you want to have the app pulse your Ambient Display. There's paid customization for icons and colors but the core functionality of the app is 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.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
You may want to create a thread in the themes and mods section so we can provide a continuous thread of feedback without cluttering this one.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] grokus:
I did that after I commented on these threads. Should have thought of that first and linked to my app thread.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aerogers:
Absolutely agree with that. It was one important feature separating them. Deal breaker for me.

Thanks a lot Google

[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pixel3onxda:
colored buttons

Short question: the photos within google store shows colored on/off switches. I thought this would be the notification LED. I'm wondering to hear that there is no LED at all. Why they are colored when not enlightened?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
The colored power buttons are just a design choice to make the phones look unique.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haxxler:
OK, since the Pixel 3 has no LED i wanted to use the camera flash as a notification indicator. Some Android phones have native flash notification settings for people with hearing problems but the Pixel 3 doesnt even got that. So i tried many apps who claim to work but none of them did, even with permissions. Im really pissed. Does anyone know any app that works?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xalies:
LED Blinker Pro works great. The lite version is fine if you dont need to add other apps
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haxxler:
How did you get the camera flash to work? Because it does not work for me and i noticed that the app doesnt even want permission for the camera flash? Also it bothers me that when i select the led dot Ro be in a corner, half of it gets blocked by the ****ty round display corners...
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xalies:
Go to the menu and then Laboratory and check both new layout on screen LED (moves led just off corner) and Camera Flash and then click on the app in the main menu that you want to change then Goto settings and scroll down and tick camera flash
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haxxler:
Ok, this fixes the corner problem but the camera flash still doesnt work. Dont know why.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xalies:
It worked for me but I had to change it in settings from flash 3 times because it only did it once so maybe play with that

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] theGekkoST:
Does anybody know if Wireless Android Auto is working with Essential running Pie? I've tried looking through other searches and can't find a good answer. There were a few Reddit threads about it not working with the Dev Previews, but no one answered with the full release.

Reason is, I'm thinking of getting and Essential phone for a year because the Pixel 3 did not impress me. And my Nexus 5X can't really handle wireless AA as it crashes constantly when using directions AND music. If I use one or the other it's just fine though.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] theGekkoST:
Well, I got an official response from Essential, and they said Wireless Android Auto is still not supported in Android Pie. Look like Google is holding this feature hostage, and only allowing it on the Pixel/Nexus line.

Hello guys,

I know already there are a bunch of apps that do the same task and it's not that hard does this manually too. However, this is my first app posted to the play store too. And it will be great to hear your opinion about my app.:o:o:o

Show WiFi Password - Get It Now on Google Play

Features of the app

Support all Android version above ICS - Including Oreo and above

Show the Connected Network at the top

Most of the times Which I wanted to get the saved wifi passwords, I really wanted to know the password of currently connected networks password(For share with friends or Connect another device). However, I did not found any app which optionally shows the details of the currently connected network. So I added that that feature to this hoping it will save few seconds of your life searching for it.

One Touch Search and Share - Search has been Implemented with a single touch without additional pop-ups

I know that there isn't a much, But I try to keep the app simple and on the Niche and lightweight(only 2 mb)

Check out the trailer and the Screenshots below and give it a try

If you click add people and pick the number it starts a whole new thread. its so annoying.

If the people receiving the text in the first thread and when it starts a whole new thread and i send another message when they respond it goes to the original thread and not the new one with all the right people in it.

Is this a phone issue or an app issue. can anyone help

As the title mentions is it possible to edit the camera lib or something so that the 2nd back camera takes only B/W pics making it like a pseudo monochrome lens to take better detailed pics.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] j0nas_:
A b&w filter won't improve the photo quality. You'd need to physically remove the color part of the lense. Even then, both rear cameras have different megapixels and merging their photos would make it blurry if not lower res and it's not worth it at all.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] digger16309:
A little bit of a shot in the dark here, but here goes...

In Lineage OS, there is an advanced permissions function in settings that allows one to set more detailed permissions for each app. It's organized in columns by Location, Media, and other categories, including Run In Background, and Run on Boot.

It's the Run on Boot I'm most interested in as a lot of times apps install and run on boot in the background and don't need to be.

I don't think this functionality is in OOS, or if it is, I can't find it. I also can't find an app, Xposed Module, or Magisk module for this.

I used to use XPrivacy but that's been abandoned?

Does anyone know of an app or module that would work for this level of permissions?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] exis_tenz:
App Ops

Try App Ops, works great and is so much more userfriendly than Xprivacy. There is a Magisk Module for running process, but the app you'll find in play store.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ASB41:
I don't see any point. Boot time is already fast in oxygen os. & About the background apps after boot, they get killed if battery optimisation is on.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] digger16309:
Thanks - this app is helpful for a lot of reasons.

I don't see an at-boot setting though.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] digger16309:
Not boot-time related. Many apps load at boot and don't need to. They stay in memory, trigger wakelocks, and snooping areas in the background that shouldn't happen. They also re-start themselves after killing them because the OS thinks they should be running all the time. Youtube is one example. I have a photos app that does it. Several travel apps. Killing apps from loading at boot solves all of those problems, and when you kill them, they don't restart.

Hello there, I am needing some help modifing apk

1- I use apktool to remove some permission I am not really comfortable with ( a pdf app asking for phone permission ) but I found a issue ... can't remove "android.permission.INTERNET" ( called "full network acces" when installing app ) it crash the app once I install it, Is that possible to remove ? if yes pls teach me

2- I also use gbwhatsapp, the version I like is no longer updated so needed to move to another modified whatsapp, I want to know what should I change to update by myself the version I like. On androidmanifest the only important changed stuff I can see is the "platformBuildVersionCode" and " platformBuildVersionName" Is that all I need to change to make it work ?

Any help ? thanx
[Android General] KP@2016:
Use this https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/xdaf...adk-android-reverse-engineering-t3803044/amp/

1. To remove some permission follow this guide https://androdevkit.wordpress.com/2018/01/01/permission-manager/

Edit: If you remove Internet permission and use the app while connecting to Internet, app will crash. In such case you need to modify smali code (sneak peak)

2. The method doesn't work like that for keep old version for updates (I am not sure). If you still want to change version number here's how to do it https://androdevkit.wordpress.com/2017/12/31/editing-basic-info/
