It is.

Nothing we can do about that. Unless we replace AOD, which needs root.

Nothing we can do about that. Unless we replace AOD, which needs root.

Interesting. This doesn't happen for me: Edge Lighting works great, and I don't see this notification. What is your "Lock Automatically" setting set to? Do you have a "secure" lockscreen (requires PIN, Pattern, Finger, or Face) ?

I don't know, first have to figure out why you're seeing it in the first place, because I'm not seeing it at all.

Very nice app, thanks so much Chainfire!

Look forward to update as below :

1. Frequency timer (Can be set how long the light blinking, e.g. Every 1 min blinking 20 secs, something like that)

2. Screen off can be shown without charging (I know you are work on it:))

P.S. Sorry for my messy English as I come from Hong Kong.

Cheers!

Thanks for this great app chainfire. Definitely happy to pay for a pro version down the line.

My only issue so far is with battery drain. I used holey lights all day yesterday but found of the battery I had gotten through it had consumed 8%.. Higher than any of my other apps.

I have disable it for now as that seems really high. Is this expected behavior or do you expect this to improve with future versions?

Thanks very promising app. I was looking around to bypass this missing feature on S10 phones.

I have a S10e device and your application is working like a charm (the led color depends on the application sending the notification is just awsome -> Gmail = Red, Whatsapp = Green, etc..)

As the other users i'm looking forward for the two most wanted features (And then it will be perfect):

- Screen off notifications without charging

- Frequency timer for the led notification
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kaibird:
Thanks for creating this amazing app!

I am wondering if it is possible to customize the app that I want into the notification list?

Right now there are only 4 apps appearing, I dont see an add button to add the apps I wish into the list.

Thanks again

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chainfire:
How are you getting this battery percentage? Holey Light, from Android's perspective, is *always* running, as it ties into the notification system. So it really depends on how the data is aggregated. Seems the standard Samsung Battery settings app is not as detailed as it once was (including CPU cycles, though I'm not sure how accurate those are for always-running background stuff).

It might be accurate, it might not. There's preciously little going on aside from showing the animation, if anything, that is likely the biggest CPU cycle user.

The battery profile will definitely change over the next few releases. The currently public version just keeps animating forever, as long as there are notifications. What I am implementing right now is auto-dismissal: the app keeps track of notifications you've seen (configurable). For example, if my screen is off and I have 3 notifications waiting, and I turn the screen on, they are counted as seen, and the animations will stop until a *new* animation comes in. Things like that will drastically reduce how much the app is active, and thus will drastically reduce battery usage.

After the various auto-dismissal settings, I need to implement interval display (and its cousin exponential-back-off), and together those will make reasonably possible screen off mode on battery.

I know what it is. I don't personally use it though. I just think it's weird the LastPass developers have opted to enable the LED on a notification that's always there. That just seems weird.

To clarify, Holey Light does not 'decide' which apps to show or not. Each application submit this information to Android, the developers of that application decide. Holey Light just takes that information from Android. So - unless there's a bug in my code somewhere - the LastPass developers are purposely lighting up the LED... *always*.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chainfire:
Apps are added to the list automatically when they show a notification that has LED support enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bentez2003:
Thanks for the quick reply! I'm just using the inbuilt battery stats. It showed very little active time but constant background running which you have explained above. It didn't feel like my battery was running down much faster but then the battery on the 10+ is a beast so its harder to notice. When I see your next update I'll re-enable and use Accubattery as well to retest for drain stats and post them here.

Keep up the good work!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tiho5:
The native notification led on the previous galaxys doesn't work this way. The led isn't dismissed until one opens the app from which it was invoked.

Simple screen on isn't what it should take to dismiss a notification led.

Or I've misunderstood something. If so I'm sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] faisalis10:
Nope i didn't update today. I updated like last week. But yesterday i tempered with the settings a little bit. So i noticed huge battery drain. I deleted and re-installed. I'll notice how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] shaggyskunk:
Thought you were in Canada?

But yes if you updated to 2.1 - You should at least Boot into Recovery & Wipe Cache - But I always Factory Reset after any Android version update & I've never had any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] faisalis10:

Anybody having issues with the light being dimmed while the screen is off? I have my text notifications set to notify bright white, but when I get them, they're barely visible until I wake the phone up.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chbau:
Yes, same issue here.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] audio75:
Wanted to share my findings, it cost me a little bit of my night so, here goes... I have an S10+, smg975u1 with Android10-2.1. I am running Holey 0.67

I have a Tasker gesture setup so I don't have to press my power button to on/off my screen. Due to this gesture/event, my Holey started not going to AOD blanked with only notifications. I suspect this is caused by the newest Android security update which was pushed to me. So anyway, I lost my blank AOD, and had to setup a workaround:

I didn't do anything with Holey, didn't clear caches, data, etc. What I did was to use Tasker to setup a task which allowed my usual gesture (shake) to trigger the event, which per Tasker (for any who want to retrace my same steps)

task 1, "Turn Off" (Dim OFF, Lock OFF) the display

I then found it setting my screen timeout to 1sec

Created task 2 in the same event, it waits 2sec then sets the Display Timeout to my desired 2min,0sec.

I'm back to a happy place with this workaround.

(Oh and yes, I had to move the notification -5.50px horizontally to center it over the front camera)

UPDATE: This strangely didn't last. I got AlwaysOnEdge, paid the nominal fee. It works, no fuss. I will return to CF's Holey Light (would happily pay for it!) because HL is easier to setup colors for example.

LineageOS support

Is this app supposed to be working under LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10) or is it dependent on Samsung framework ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fishnetfancy:
I would also like to know that - I suppose install and find out?!?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jib.leo:
I didn't suceeded to make it work on my device but I wanted to know if this is a small bug or by design.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jfk_77:
I believe there is a conflit with AOD. The Lineage 17.1 build I got doesn't have the options required by Holey Light, the app keeps asking me to set those unknown values. As a result I can't make it work when my screen is off, namely the whole purpose to get this.

Any help/update would be welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fishnetfancy:
I am also using LOS 17.1 (What A Wurst) and can't even get the installation wizard to finish. It reports the following error:

Holey Light does not appear to support your device. If you are using an S10 variant please report this code to the XDA thread:

[ unknown ]

Edit: I can get the installation wizard to complete by leaving off the option to display notifications when the screen is off. All options can be set and the app can be configured. It seems the only problem with LOS is the missing AOD entry in System Setttings.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Archydos:
Suddenly the notification light has shifted to the right. Part of the ring is "hidden" behind the punch hole, and the right side is shifted too far off the right. This seems to only happen to the red color, from the colors I've assigned. All other colors being used seem to be correctly aligned.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] arf8:
It's a song and dance to get past the connect to device step.

Anyway when setting Hide AOD to full it does not hide the clock etc on the lock screen. Not quite sure what is causing this.

S10+

my tips appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] *elmo*:
I love this app. Thanks Chainfire
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] evilorb:
I want to say the same but it still don't work with LOS 17.1.

What a pity they don't include a little led on this great S10e.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PIRATA!:
Hello there!

Works good on my S10e European dual sim edition...most of the times :)

When it doesn't work, if I enter/load the app, I get a pop-up saying that step 3/4 has to be granted...but I already did!

Everything works good again once I reactivate that.

Any clue?

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flonou:
Hey, is this compatible with official samsung clear view case ? I like the fact that I can get led like notification when the screen is "off" (meaning with AOD) and I was wondering if the clear view case would break that
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] eaberasturi:
I used this app for a long time (more than a year), but after several problems (sometimes it was not working, battery drain) and lack of updates, I uninstalled it and tested a new one that I want to recommend. The app name is AOD Notify (I paid for the Pro version but you can use the free version with limited functionallity), and it is very good so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bright.Light:
Hmm... I understood the developer isn't with XDA Developers forum anymore?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PIRATA!:
Uhm... but are you talking of this Holey Light app or about AOD Notify?

For both cases...are you referring to something specific?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bright.Light:
I was referencing to the AOD Notify app, there is a threat in here about that app too, but there is stated that the developer left (angry), so when the app does not work, it might never getting fixed
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PIRATA!:
Ah ok.

I have noticed that in the Play Store now it has another name that is "Notification Light / LED Note 20, S20 - aodNotify", and that is still in development, as last update is from 19th of Sept.

Maybe someone is continuing?

I have both Holey Light installed and that aodNotify, and of course I use only one at a time as they can be deactivated.

aodNotify is so far great, as it has more features, like possibility to pick auto color from app icon, and to limit the notification time, and for me it's useful as usually if I see them in a matter of minutes ok, otherwise it's the case where I am not interested at all in seeing notifications, so it is not needed to have light notifications blinking for hours.

I have to say tho that there is not that much of movement in that thread...it is in some how a bit stuck..so maybe support is limited, or not available anymore on Xda.

Android 11 support

Hi [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] - it would be great to see Android 11 support for Holey Light. The low resource consumption of Holey Light makes me stick to your awesome app!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PIRATA!:
Why....isn't it compatible? Have you tried? Eventually, what error does it give you?

I just downloaded this app and I'm setting it up, but after it asks me to connect, no popups appear. All my connection types are on. What's the issue? I have an s10+
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Obsidian Octagon:
I've got an S10 and had been using the Holey Light screen center notification for a long time and really liked it (Kudos to Chainfire). I just uninstalled the app before upgrading to Android 11. After upgrading to Android 11 and reinstalling the app I can't get the screen center Holey Light notification to work. The swirl, blink and pie around the camera notification types still seem to work though. Would be really nice to have the screen center notification type though if Chainfire can fix this. It was my favorite type of notification.

In terms of the Holey Light pop-ups to assist with install, they all seemed to appear when I reinstalled the app in Android 11, so no issue there.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chainfire:
v0.70 released!

See the changelog here.

This one is not pushed to Play yet as I need some feedback on the update. A lot of code has been updated to support Android 11, and some things under the hood have changed as well.

It works great on my device (better than on Android 10, even) so far, but I have some concerns that the updated math will not work specifically on the S10+. Let me know how it looks, and if it needs tuning let me know which parameters you used (and if you're running the device on max resolution).

Aside from the Android 11 changes, I also prettified (IMHO) the Unholey Light display option, which now displays the icons for the notifications as well (can be turned off).

NOTE: There are much newer test versions in the Telegram chat
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] shaggyskunk:

First of all, thank you for creating this awesome app.

I have updated my S10+ to Android 11 and I have installed the latest beta 0.70 version. Everything works fine except for the Unholey Light circle: it does not appear at the center of the screen, but as a very small circle (smaller than one of the lens of the camera) at the very top of the screen. I am attaching an image showing my locked phone with the small circle on it (sorry for the quality).

In any case, thank you for your work!

Why I have to give the permission to Holey Light for accessibility (screen control and actions)?

How do I know that no data is shared?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] shaggyskunk:
You need to grant those permissions for the app to work.

Chainfire is one of the most recognized Developers on XDA.. Ever! I hardly think that there's any concern whatsoever regarding your data.

Don't use the app if you don't want to.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chainfire:
This is needed for it to work with screen "off" with AOD, and on newer Android versions to show the fake LED itself (it could be done on older Android versions without).

The full source code is on GitHub so you can review it for shenanigans. Additionally, the app doesn't have the internet permission, so how would it share any data? :)

I have nothing to gain by anyone using this app, it's completely free, no ads, no nags, full source. So if you have any concerns, just don't use it?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] letsgoavs:

In Unholey Light mode, I'm measuring less than 1% an hour on my Pixel 2 XL. Haven't tested with a 4A 5G though.

And that 1% is including ambient display battery usage. Compared to already running with ambient display but without Holey Light, the usage is too small to reliably measure (at least on my P2XL)
