I've just installed the beta app and made it pro. It seems to be working fine for me, but it shows the app's name instead of actual one. Colors are okay as well.

Edit: The app shows - and keeps showing after the timeout - only the first notification received: for instance, Telegram followed by WhatsApp - Telegram notification only.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] shobhit92bhar:
Default ambient display shows max 6 icons in a single line.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] shobhit92bhar:
Quick feedback for latest version. Just tried beta v0.4. Disabled default double tap and enabled double tap on pulse but it seems to do nothing.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I don't know the sensor id for the op6t so right now that will only work on the pixel until I can find the right sensor id.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] roddem:
If I donate/purchase, will the Pixel Pulse branding be removed? Love the idea and its working beautifully. Willing to contribute if the name branding is removed.

thank you for the amazing work
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] achill3r:
I paid the app as provided by the Play Store (I don't know if there is a different version downladable outside the store) to support the developer's efforts. Currently, I'm able to recognize the app notifications only via colours and/or icons, because the name branding is still present. Anyway, this is not a major problem for me, just hoping for improved future versions of this work. :)
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] roddem:
Also, it would be great if the the time for which one particular notification is displayed can be controlled.

Again, extremely thankful for your work. This isnt a demand, just a suggestion. (y)

:)
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I don't think name branding can be completely removed. I can change notifications and colors but the one plus 6T is adding the app name to the notification, not me. I can try using no app name somehow but I don't know if that will affect things elsewhere.

The app name isn't added to my pixel so whatever I try I'll need someone to report if it worked.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] roddem:
Adding the app name to the notification is cool I feel. The name Pixel Pulse comes along most of the times.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] shobhit92bhar:
I can test whatever you want to add.

Also, yes sometimes it ends up pulsing last dismissed notification. You have to wake the screen once to make it go away.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] achill3r:
I've just updated the app. I appreciate the new features, but now I notice that notifications keep pulsing even if I wake up the screen and remove such notifications

manually.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] kantjer:
I finally figured out why the app wasn't working for me.

Switched back to "Show all notification content" in Locscreen pref fixed it.

Everything seems to work as intended now.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] wowthatisrandom:
I think mine is working as well, just not exactly what i expected. I think as people are finding out 6T is slightly diff than Pixel. heres what i see and it does cycle.

Heres what im seeing. Not much content here unfortunately:

[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jackennils:
Still no success for me. OP6T, rooted, TWRP, blu.spark Kernel.

First notification gets displayed a few times, but when a second one arrives, things get messed up and it stops cycling.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Incredible_Culp:
Ah, yeah. The branding name is what i was referring to in my last few posts.. I'd like just the icon as well without the branding name.. But since the 6t is adding that in on its own, i hope you can figure out a way for it to not show..

We're all guinea pigs at this point -- I hated seeing all the 1-3 star reviews on the play store from people complaining -- do they not see the "BETA" tag :rolleyes: -- You're doing us a favor with a device you dont even own, so itll take time for things to work 'properly' .. I'll be here for every step of the way.

Just wanted to report back and say, for my uses, this app works beautifully (the 'new' cycle update is GREAT!) .. Also, the stock icon and color option was a great addition as well. I still stand by my title of this thread..

People want all these features (swipe, double tap, blah blah blah) but forget what this app is intended for.. A. Visual. Que... Did our beloved LED's have all these features?? No. It only represented a quick visual telling you you had a notification.. This app does this. At a quick glance, i can see if i have notifications now (every 30 sec), and thats all i needed.

Dont stress yourself out, bud.. Dont bend to your users 'every need' .. The app is simple, it works as an LED alternative, and thats all that matters... All that extra fluff isnt needed unless YOU want to add it. :good:
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Yea, I introduced a bug. Opening Pixel pulse and toggling the enabled state temporarily restores it, but I'll have a fix back out tonight. It also gets fixed when we new notification appears.

I didn't halt the roll out of the update though, because this version pulses much more reliably .
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] kantjer:
[MENTION=6730079]grokus[/MENTION] Hope you don't mind but I have a feature request.

A night/ quiet mode where we can disable the notifications during a given time frame.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I appreciate the support and thank you!

I will certainly add this
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] hisee:
Any luck on app getting kill randomly
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludzik1993:
Same as lot of you. App don't work at all or shows notification only once and then stops :(
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I think the latest version fixes that, unfortunately there's anything different bug that makes the most recent notification not clear so it keeps pulsing.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ludzik1993:
Just reinstall app, and looks good now :) Hope it will stay like it for long.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Phuturist:
The app looks promising and I bought you a coffee but I just noticed this as well. Disabling the app for now and I hope you can get it fixed soon.

I also have a feature request. I would be great to have a mode where it actually mimics a notification led (small colored circle) preferable without the fingerprint icon of the OnePlus 6T showing as well. Is that even possible?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] leffer:
It's a little finicky but overall is getting the job done.

The one thing that I wonder is why the minimum time between pulses is 8 seconds?

Why can't we do less? To me, the notification LED was most useful because I could glance at any moment and see what I have for notifications, but with this I may have to stare at my phone for a few seconds in order to get information depending on timing.

Thanks for your work here! I do really appreciate it!
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I made it 8 seconds because the pixel wakes for 5 seconds and any less didn't work too well. How is it for op6t? I can lower it to accommodate.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] leffer:
When it was working, it only seemed like the pulse would show up on the 6T for like 2-3 seconds.

But now I'm having issues getting it to pulse repeatedly after the first pulse so I can't time it.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
What happens if you set the interval to 30 or 60 seconds?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] leffer:
Changed it to 30.

When I was able to catch it, it probably is closer to 4-5 that the pulse shows up before going away.

Now I'm continuing to have issues getting it to pulse repeatedly regardless of interval setting. Since changing it to 30 it's still not pulsing repeatedly. I've double checked that the app is not optimized.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Are you on the latest version? The one with the bug that won't clear the most recent notification.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] leffer:
Yeah, on the version from the play store updated today.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Strangely, when I plugged my phone in to charge, Pixel Pulse is acting as you expected. It pulses on for about 4-5 seconds, then goes dark for about 10 seconds (it's set to 8 sec now) and pulses on again.

Also, like you said, it won't clear the most recent notification, which I know you are working on.

When I unplugged my phone it went back to not repeatedly pulsing.

Lastly, I still would say again a shorter pulse duration option for the 6T would be great because there would be less of a dark period between pulses.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Phuturist:
I can confirm this, the pulse is not regular at the set interval. Sometimes it misses a pulse but oddly enough it sometimes also pulses to often.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Doze and other battery optimizations get disabled when on the charger. The latest version is quite accurate on my pixel but OP6T might be handling my scheduler differently.

I just ordered a OP6T so I can do some real testing. It's supposed to be here in a few days.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] shobhit92bhar:
Here are my observations from latest version:

I have kept pulse interval for 8 seconds, but still it takes around 30-40 seconds for next pulse. its not very consistent with timing. After letting it sit for 5-10 minutes it started pulsing correctly after every 8 seconds.

While rotating among multiple notifications it shows all the notifications for 2 seconds each and then the last one for 5 seconds.

All this is without charging with all battery optimizations disabled and even advanced battery optimizations disabled globally. I will test while charging as well and will update the thread.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
What happens on the op6t if multiple notifications come in simultaneously? Does it show all of them at once?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] shobhit92bhar:
Do you mean how the default ambient display handles it? I need to observe that and then will update you.

I know that you are already looking into it but one major concern right now is that it keeps pulsing the last dismissed notification. When you turn on the screen there is no notification and still after screen turned off it keeps displaying same notification.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Yes, how it's handled currently. I may be able to make it show all of them at once for op6t users.

Yup, I'll have that fixed tonight.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] shobhit92bhar:
What i can comment right now without testing is that the default ambient display keeps 5 notification icons with clock. Attached are the screenshots of ambient display settings.

This is the same display we get when let's say i use hand wave gesture or remove phone from my pocket.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] hisee:
New version also getting killed randomly
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ledvedder:
This is great! Is there a way to have it stop pulsing when do not disturb is on?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] NoFatePPC:
ok, gonna install and test this app too

do you need to become a beta tester for this app? or is the offical OK for oneplus 6t ? i see it last updated on 12/11 november
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] shobhit92bhar:
Dismissed notification bug fixed in latest update
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Beta and the production version are one and the same right now.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] NoFatePPC:
ok, no point for subscibing to beta then?

thnx

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

maybe a stupid question, but can you choose a specfic color for , without manually changing it for each notification

there is an option "use app icon and color"

but where is the option to choose that color?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Not currently.

That option will use the apps default icon and color (whatever app owns the notification)

In the app filter you can now override that color with one you select.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] hisee:
Still my app getting kill.. Do I have to give any special permission or whatc
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] NoFatePPC:
i have hooked up an samsung gear s3 watch, so everytime it pulses , now also my gear wakes up

previously, my gear only woke up, on the first notification ... not after anymore

so now my gear will drain battery :(

is pulse notifcation always somekind of new notification ?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ledvedder:
Is it possible to select Ninja mode for all apps, instead of having to individually select each app?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Can you filter apps on your watch? Set it to not show notifications from Pixel Pulse.

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

Yes, there's a ninja mode global setting.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] NoFatePPC:
omg, i forgot to look at that setting indeed, cant believe i missed that, ok, samsung wear is now working OK :)

1 more question though, when pulse is waking the screen, there is always a title like:

pixel pulse

2 new messages

cant we change that title to something else? like the app itself for instance?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I'm looking into that. I've got a one plus coming so I can test it. On the pixel the app name isn't added to the notification like that.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] NoFatePPC:
ah ok :)

thnx in advance , really appreciate app

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

what i also notice, when you mark an message, for example from whatsapp, as read, from the lock screen, and you turn off the device

a few seconds later, there is a pixel pulse again, just with the title "pixel pulse" , with no text under it (blank notfication)

its one time only wake up
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Uridian:
I don't have much to add. I just wanted to say that I appreciate the work you're doing and how responsive you're being to all the requests made of you. I installed and went pro last night and even in the beta/developmental state, this is one of the more useful apps on my phone.

Keep up the good work.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] NoFatePPC:
Seems, when this occurs, the icon of pixel pulse is also on the default lock screen
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] sruel3216:
Yes I think so too. If you could possibly just light up a few pixels around the notch to make it look like a simple LED light that would be awesome. I don't need to see the notification details, etc

I get my 6t tomorrow so I'll test then
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] storymode:
I might be in the minority here. At first I thought I'd be a little lost without my LED notification light as well, however as I use the one plus 6t I find that my lack of led is actually making me have better phone habits.

Two examples so far :

1) I sleep better. Without a LED light to tell me that something has happened I don't look at my phone, so I sleep better. I'm a light sleeper and in the past when my LED notification light was blinking I would check my phone and end up staying up on my phone longer than I wanted to and lose those precious hours of sleep.

And

2) probably the most important thing is that I'm not tempted to look at my phone while I am driving. I will usually have it up in a tray or sitting on the passenger side seat and at stop signs or stop lights I'd be tempted to peek at my phone really quick. Now with no light I find myself not endangering myself. So it's a win for me.

I suppose I'm trying to make the best of the situation. Does anyone else have any examples where no LED is actually doing them a favor?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ledvedder:
Hmm, I have to option selected, but I'm still receiving full text notifications. View attachment 4641886
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Are you just seeing a Pixel Pulse title and the icon or are you seeing notification content as well?
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] ledvedder:
I'm seeing notification content.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jdiddy_ub:
Fantastic app. Something like this should've been included as a stock option.

Sure you've heard both of these but decreasing the time between pulses (8 is too long) and getting the app name to show up instead of "pixel pulse" would make this app perfect for me.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] NoFatePPC:
i saw a new update this morning?

anyway, to the developer, you have been askled to also join the forum / thread here : https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/no-led-notification-light-on-6t.932052/page-14
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] haxelmans:
Let me first say that I think it's a fantastic app.

Is for me the solution to replace the mssing LED.

An idea to add maybe. An adjustable time frame in which the app must work, so that the screen does not light up at night.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jdiddy_ub:
I've realized that lowering the duration between pulses is a must for this to be useful. The point of it is so we don't have to check our phones to know if we have a notification. With 8 secs between pulses, it means I would have to stare at my phone for anywhere between 1-7 secs in case I just missed a pulse. If that's the case it would be quicker to touch it and check the ambient display.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] NoFatePPC:
you need the "screen always on" function :)
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jdiddy_ub:
There is no always on screen function

And actually no..I just need a shorter gap between pulses.

I actually don't want my screen on 24/7
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] NoFatePPC:
i was just kidding :)
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jdiddy_ub:
I figured that with the emoji but just wanted to say I don't actually use the always on display. Never have even when it was an option
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
So I can get rid of the Pixel Pulse name, I think. But it will make the app have no name in your notification drawer.

Unless the Ambient display apis are opened up this won't be possible without draining your battery and keeping the phone awake (aside from with root)
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jdiddy_ub:
Sometimes it initially shows the message but I believe that is coming from the ambient display not your pulse app..once it pulses it's hidden. It doesn't happen every time..I think if your app catches it first, it's hidden

[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] NoFatePPC:
You can just disable that notification in your notification settings on Android itself , then pixel pulse won't show it either

---------- Post added at 06:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 AM ----------

Updated new beta, I had 2 notifications, whatsapp and

Gmail, it showed me both after each other, that's good...

But the title of the WhatsApp was "Gmail"
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jdiddy_ub:
+1

I think getting rid of the pixel pulse title messed with the app names...it will show the first notification you get...since your first notification was gmail, every thing from then on will display as Gmail

This works be awesome! A flashing notch [emoji16]
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] modyt:
Updated to the second to the latest update and faced the issue of the previous app name showing for all notifications.

Immediately after, I got the latest update and can confirm that the app name showed up in the first pulse. However, second pulse onwards, the app name disappeared. Only the Pixel Pulse icon shows above the content.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Great to hear that it's working. It was the difference between how the OS handles an empty string vs a blank space.

When it was an empty string I guess the OS failed to update the app name.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jdiddy_ub:
Just some feedback:

1. The new pulse durations aren't working properly 4 secs = 9 secs, 5 6 7 = 1 sec (which I actually like but am concerned about battery drain)

2. Can you give an option to include app name? I actually liked it better that way. The icons are really small if you remove the names

3. I usually use the "hide sensitive content" option on my lock screen for privacy. Everything works well with your app on that setting except for when I turn my screen off. Where it usually shows "pixel pulse is running" it now says "1 notification" even if there isn't one. Anyway to fix that? I know the app recommendation is to leave the show all option on.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I changed the minimum to 5 now. I think the OS is throttling notifications. Battery shouldn't be too bad since the app caches notifications instead of recreating them each time but I'd be interested in hearing reports.

The change to no text in the notification isn't something I can change at runtime. It's defined in the manifest so it's going to be all or nothing. I will try a long string of spaces when I get home and see if that helps.

I've played with those settings a little and it seems it's the OS is putting the sensitive content text in. I'll see if I'm able to explicitly set the public and private version of the notification but I can't be sure it will work.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jdiddy_ub:
not sure if you understood my last point. The notification shows properly and hidden. It displays the app icon and under it "1 new notification." That part is great. The issue is when there is no notification..when the screen turns off it usually says "pixel pulse is running" if i set the option to hide sensitive content (phone settings not app ninja mode). but it will display "1 new notification" before the screen shuts off instead of "pixel pulse is running" even if there are no notifications. Seems like it just has to have something written there so it just goes if the last known notification.
[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Go into the app notification settings (in Android, not Pixel pulse) and turn off the pixel pulse running channel.

Services that want to run in the background need to show a notification. That's why you see that one, but you can hide it.
