[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chainfire:
@ everyone: I've added a number of the comments to the issue tracker

It is right now, but that can be fixed in the future. #20

That's not a bad idea, I suggest you experiment with it :) #21

Not right now, it may be in the future. It's possible there's a combination of AOD settings where we can make this work, it needs further investigation. There's some code in the app for it already, but it doesn't (yet) work right. The main issue right now is, unless we get AOD to be black by itself, that the app would need some way of en/disabling AOD when notifications come in and when they are read. I'm not sure we have the access for that, but we might.

There's a bug (feature?) in Android's settings system, where even you manage to gain permission to read/write (secure) settings, non-standard ones (i.e. the ones added by Samsung rather than original AOSP ones) still cannot be changed. #21

See my reply above. #21

Strange! First point of order is to disable all the functionality aside from the first 4 (operation), and see how that affects things. Double check the app is exempt from battery optimizations.

PS: What is this voodoo, how do you make those sceenshots, and why don't I know about it

PPS: I still have your Taj Mahal figurine in my office :)

(1) In screen off mode, the animation is slightly enlarged, because Samsung's burn-in protection moves it around automatically, so making it larger 'clears' the hole, and because the background is black you don't notice it isn't perfectly aligned. You can get the same effect by going into tune and adding 1 to to the scale base. #25

(2) That is strange. The flashes aren't updated until the pattern is repeated though, so if you have a couple and you swipe them in reverse order, it may be several cycles before they're all gone. Do they clear after say 10-15 seconds? Or how did you get rid of them?

See my reply above to S10Guest above. I've added an entry to the issue tracker about this, we may need to be able to tune to sub-dp (which is 4 pixels on max resolution) levels. Others have complained about the S10+ animation too. If that is implemented, a couple of you need to get together and figure out the perfect setting, then I can implement those as defaults. #25

Accessibility options are required to be allowed to draw on the screen. I just requested 'all' permissions, but I'm sure this can be reduced. The app doesn't do anything with any of the data though (there's not even code to receive it, you can verify this in the sauce on GitHub). #27

There is no battery indicator in the app. The options you talk about define when the app functions, not what it does. "Battery: Screen off" decides if you see notifications when the screen is off and you are on battery power.

Regarding notifications still being missing, I just realized they may be using the outdated notifications API rather than the modern channels one. Added issue #22 for this.

Apps don't appear in the list until a notification from them is actually seen by the system. And when you just installed/updating, Android takes some time before it reliably notifies the app.

Do you have a link to this tasker profile? It may be good to see how they do it.

I don't understand the PS part.

Re: the 3.5%, there's no CPU wakelock held by the app. It's the combination of AOD (1%) + drawing on screen (2.5%), and it only applies while there is an unread notification animating.
