#Jawomo

This is my Google review....and a bit more,

I have a stock non rooted S10+ Snapdragon variant and guess what folks...this app ROCKS without a single bug.

I've been testing modding and beta testing apps like this for 10 years+ and I am truly ecstatic to have such success with this Oled based notification led replacement. Recently, I've tested out at least 5 other similar apps and they all exhibited multiple issues and inconsistencies. I was losing hope. I very much rely on some sort of flashing or pulsing notification system and since Samsung decided to remove the LED from this flag ship smart phone, an alternative was needed...and boy does this app hit the mark!

BONUS....the stock S10+ feature that prevents the display from turning on when it's in your pocket has never worked on my phone. (worked fine with my previous S7 and S3. But this app brings back that functionality thus saving battery power and preventing accidental pocket clicks etc. Yup...it actually works!

Last night during my bed time (8hrs) I ran a battery drain test with the phone facing downward which also causes the screen to stay OFF and not display the AOD (always on display) nor any oled notifications. NO battery drain was registered from this app or AOD. In fact, it's the 1st unrooted phone that I experienced an average of only .5% per hr drain. Trust me that's fair! My next test will be to see what the drain might be with a flashing notification over 8hrs, I'm sure it will be reasonable and it's the price of doing business. I plan on utilizing the DND (do not disturb) feature at night while I'm sleeping anyway so I am limiting battery drain all around.

Thank you author for this fine app.

FURTHER MORE

I have this app set to keep the AOD Clock info OFF until either a notification arrives or I single tap the screen. This gives me a great balance between battery savings and convenience. For example, if I'm sleeping and want to quickly check the time, a single clumsy tap on my screen gives me the clock.

I have also enable the phone to wake when it is lifted up and that seems to coexist nicely with all the other settings.

I'm using the notification circle that pulses around the fingerprint area. It not only looks good, but guides my old eyes to the fingerprint area more easily when it's time to unlock my phone.

The notifications timing and customizations do not seem to exhibit any quirks. With my setup...it's rock solid.

GREED

If I had to ask for one more feature (only if it didn't break anything), is to have animations-per-app rather than '1 animation fits all'. But that's just being greedy.

LED Dot effect! / Multiple lighting effects?

Thanks for the new update, I really like the new LED Dot Style, especially together with the Eco (battery optimized) Effect.

In case you get bored of not coding haha, what about multiple Lighting Effects for (the same/or per app) notification? Including settings for each of them, plus control over how they interact?

I'm imagining, for example, a constant LED blinking (=eco) effect, plus once every 10 seconds a Fingerprint Style + Flash lighting effect for 2 seconds (simultaneously, so the LED + Eco lighting effect won't stop). This would be 2 different Lighting effects for one and the same notification, in this case.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] barty22:
That could be done with my "multiple Lighting Effects" feature suggestion (which is pure greed too); configure apps for the configured Lighting effects :))
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Theotime:
Hello !

Just gave you a coffee before today, and I don't regret it !

Small question however, when I receive a notification with the phone locked, my cutOff lightens properly, but the time is also displayed (not my full AOD display, just the clock part).

When I turn the screen on, don't unclock my phone, and turn the screen off again, the clock disappears and the cutOff light stays (what I want).

The disable aod option is selected.

Is it a normal behavior of the app, a bug or a misconfiguration from me ?

If someone know how to disable this clock showing when receiving notifications on locked phone, please help me !

Best notif' led-like app so far, good work !
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] barty22:
Did you enable "hide the always on display"? You also have to select the vertical edge clock for this setting to work. Like aodNotify will inform you.

That should work, if not, try to download the apk from this link, and configure that as the AOD clock (it's basically a blank clock, so no clock visible)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Theotime:
Oh I think this was just it. Is the vertical edge clock the one only on the side ?

I changed my aod clock to this one, and the problem disapeared.

I will be super greedy but is it possible to still have my AOD screen (with my normal clock and infos) when I one-tap on the screen, while not having the problem I mentioned before ? :confused: :D

Thank you for your quick answer !
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sansnil:
Hi [MENTION=5759008]Jawomo[/MENTION], is there a way to leverage the Edge Lighting effects using aodNotify? Samsung has some pretty great effects built-in like "Glitter" which I find work the best for catching my eye across a room etc. It would be cool if the app could optionally these in addition to the unique ones the app has.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] barty22:
Broken setting

The following setting is broken in the latest version: Screen is on - Lighting effect is disabled
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] themadproducer:
Hi #Jawomo

I would like to request a feature option...

Show "AOD Clock" only while charging or else with a "TAP".

I can see how this might be tricky since to hide the clock, we have to choose the Edge clock.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

Great Suggestion #barty22

I like to call it..."Per App Lighting Effects"

The OCD in me would love to have for example...charging/battery-low/fully-charged as one type of effect with it's own position..., while also being able to display a missed-text/call/whatsapp notification etc. as a 2nd effect with it's own position as well.

A basic example could be:

- RING around fingerprint for communications notifications.

- DOT in the top bar for charging indications.

(I've seen other less worthy apps do this lol)

Or even for example, instead of alternating DOTS when you receive multiple notifications....have the dots display simultaneously but NEXT to each other of something like that....assuming battery drain doesn't go to poop.

My 'Battery Drain' tests so far:

(non beta, AOD only on after an active notification, FP RING Pulsing, DND mode enable in app and in phone system)

Scenario A - 8 hrs with no notifications...no noticeable battery drain.

Scenario B - 8hrs with 1 notification (AOD stays on with auto brightness)...pretty massive drain (loose estimate...it added 1.5% drain per hour)

Scenario C - TONIGHT's test. Going to use the Beta with the Eco Mode and new DOT effect. Shrunk the dot a bit smaller. Going to have 1 notification blinking with system AOD (clock etc) disabled entirely.

***RESULT, somehow still a high drain

Scenario D - same as C test but with RING ECO mode.

***RESULT...even higher drain dang it all. Beautiful concept though.

Looks like I'm going to have to try playing with the on off timing to reduce battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mugenfa5:
I just purchased the pro version but I can't seem to figure this scenario. I want the AOD notification to stay on for 15s and turn off but have it blink again in 10min interval if that is possible. I tried messing with the interval mode but it doesn't seem to do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] themadproducer:
Confirm same here (beta version)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cryte-k:
the interval on and turn off the eco mode can be a little slower?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sansnil:
I don't think this functionality is in the app today but I think it's a great suggestion for a feature: repeat screen on at an internal you configure (e.g. 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes etc.).
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thelaymar:
Does anyone tried if this still works with Android 10? (beta on s10)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] It_ler:
Yes, I am on latest version of this app (ATM v2.51) which worked fine on Android 10 Beta and now on the offical Android 10 (BSKO), too :good:

Minimize Battery Drain

#Jawomo

What settings do you recommend to keep battery drain at a minimal?

In my experiments using an S10+, I unfortunately experience too much drain. With the AOD clock disabled within your app and an active flashing notification (even in eco mode), I am seeing between 1.5%-2.5% an hour drain (including normal phone operations drain). My s10+ without AOD and your app seems to use .5% per hour give or take.

That being said, I love the features of this app and found a method that at least for now, satisfies my needs. What is it you ask?

- AOD disable until a notification arrives. Brightness set to AUTO.

- pulsing notifications for charging/fully charged. (not concerned with battery here)

- for missed text and phone calls I ENABLE the notification but DISABLE their lighting effects.

With this setup, a missed text/phone results in the AOD Clock and Icons showing and sticking without any lighting effect. This is a pretty good "hey you have a missed text/call" indicator. I can see it from across the room. Total battery drain tested last night is around .8% hr. I can live with that.

Pocket mode (which your app seemed to fix for me) or flipping the phone on it's face both result in further battery savings.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ericlikeseatin:
[MENTION=5759008]Jawomo[/MENTION] Just a suggestion: it would be awesome if the lighting effect could be separated from the AOD display. For example, when a text comes in, the AOD and the lighting effect activate. After 1 minute, the AOD (clock, texting app icon) disappear but the lighting effect remains.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cycloholic:
Is there something similar to use with mi9 lite and mi note 10?!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ericlikeseatin:
Sorry, not sure anyone here will be able to answer questions about those phones you mentioned; pretty much everyone reading this thread will have a Samsung Galaxy S10. Good luck!

Update to version 2.52 build 165 on my s10 + with Android 10 and it gives me that error, I think the application thinks I have a Galaxy A series, any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Whats your model number? SM-G...

Its in settings, phone info
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chalofito:
G975F, why the question?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] maumaus:
FYI: I saw the same happening on a SM-G973F with the latest update.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Really strange, working fine here. Will investigate.

Maybe its because of android 10 and not the 2.52 update
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] maumaus:
Still on 9. I ment latest update of aodNotify... Previous version had the correct circel around the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] It_ler:
I am on Android 10 with my SM-G973F and latest aodNotify working fine here.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Ok thanks, is clearing data and reinstalling an option for you? Would help to identify the cause.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] maumaus:
Sure. I'll try later tonight. Busy at work at the moment :)

Maybe you'll (or somebody else) figures it out in the meantime.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dyn4myT:
Hi,

Is there a way to have OAD activate during the night (or a specific time slot) only ?

Because here it's always or never and I don't want that

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
uploaded a new beta release, please test if it fixes the problem. thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] maumaus:
Yes. The new beta looks good ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] barty22:
Just wanted to say that with latest version, sometimes the notification light shows on screen again, while i have that disabled. Not consistently, but only sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] LO ZIO:
Hello... a strange thing with the last update.

I set color personalized for some contacts (thanks for this feature) but now whatsapp don't show any led around the hole of camera (S10plus) ... why?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] flunkyball:
I am on Lineagos17 (Android 10) with my S10. Via Aurora Store I could not find aodNotify at all; Via apkmirror only 2.05 is available which tells me upon start that my phone is not compatible.

Is there any chance to reactivate the forum download link for the latest version instead of playstore ?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
and if you remove the contact colors it works?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] LO ZIO:
yes I'll try this .. but work only 1 color .. green for whatsapp

Now i have (example) set blue for my best friend and violet for my wife... but the green for other contact standard don't appear when i receive msg from the standard
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Found the problem, whatsapp creates faulty notifications and therefore these problems occur. working on a fix...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] LO ZIO:
Ok I look forward to being confident (it was and is one of the options I need most)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
pushed a new release, hope it works now
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] LO ZIO:
putted on play store?

i'll try and i'll tell you

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] larryk:
I have used Holey Light since the beginning, and have been happy with it, however, yesterday I installed your app, and within 10 minutes I bought you coffee... I am so impressed with the features of this app, and your quick responses to problems. I actually like the AOD always on, and I have your app set to display the edge lighting for notifications, by color and it works just fine, except (isn't there always an exception) I really hate the edgelight feature for charging. Is there a way (feature request) to set the charging notification to the camera cutout, and everything else to edge lighting? At the moment I am still using Holey Light only for the charging notification, and your app for everything else.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ElTron:
The new version with LED dot in status bar works well but when the screen is locked the dot intensity is lower. I mean, when screen is on the LED is bright full but it is attenuated too much when screen is locked.

Perhaps it depends on some settings in my phone and not on the app.

Any solution?

Edit: I've got it:

"Under 'Lock Screen and Security' select AOD and select 'Show Always'. Once you've selected the Content to Show, disable Auto Brightness then move the slider as far right as possible and underneath that select Show Always."
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Cryte-k:
With the latest update 2.60. when the notification, the display lights one second and turns off. That did not happen :(
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sjg83:
+1

AOD turn on for a second. My setting is "Show never". It worked fine in the previous version.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mata77:
with the last update the effects are continuously deactivated. I tried also to reinstall the app but I didn't solve it
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] barty22:
Same here, can't get Lighting effect to stay enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Already pushed a fix, should be online soon
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] larryk:
Why do my settings keep changing?

I am currently using the "Dot", only when the screen is off. I use the AOD on a schedule (off from 11pm - 7am). The notification display work correctly, but it keep changing my AOD settings to off, and I manually have to turn it back on.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mata77:
The LED effect should only light up when the screen is off. After the last update, it stays on even when the screen turns on

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] barty22:
Are you talking about the android settings?

Aodnotify manages these, it turns aod on and off depending on a notification (Depending on your aodnotify settings).

Working fine here with latest (beta) version
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aquaholik:
Freaking awesome. Powerful yet simple like bxaction. Bought you coffee although there seems to be a bug.

I set AOD to off and only set the app to show a flashing dot on the top center of the screen for notification. I set charging light to yellow when charging and green when fully charged and it is flashing yellow when charging but after a few minutes, the flashing yellow dot disappear and the display shows the time (5 49). I check my phone and it's not 100% charged. Did I missed a setting somewhere? I don't want AOD at all even while charging, just the flashing dot of my chosen color.

Edit: I guess that is how the app is supposed to act, turn off the flashing charging dot after 2 minutes and turn on AOD but it is not displaying the correct clock style that I chose(only shows time and not date and battery percentage, or only shows the hands of the clock and not date and battery percentage depending on the clock style I chose).
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] themadproducer:
Perhaps you need to choose the "Edge Clock" style in order for the clock to hide consistently. (I think it's mentioned in the OP)

Also, I believe there is a setting that dictates how long the flashing animation will last. It can be set between 5s to 10hrs. Could that be part of it?

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

I don't use the schedule, but I did notice that the 2nd last beta was behaving as you described. I had to wipe 'Clear Data' for the app and reconfigure my settings. It's been stable since even with the latest beta.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aquaholik:
I see it now on post #799. Need to add to OP. Yes choosing edge clock fixed the problem. No AOD at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheGreenRanger:
Love it, purchased it for the wifes galaxy too. Did what zamsung didn't.

OK I see it now. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bdattilo:
This is a great app, coffee bought! One small annoyance is sometimes when I clear the notification via smartwatch, or via another way (i.e. hangouts window on PC) the side edge clock will flash on and off. I do have the AOD set to never show.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mackalilar:
Me too.This bug has been around for a long time
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jawomo:
Thats no bug, thats how the app works!

aodNotify takes control over the AOD and enables / disables the AOD depending on your notifications.

Just select the desired AOD mode and schedule in aodNotify and youre fine
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] larryk:
I still have a problem. I also have Pocket Mode turned on, and at least twice now, it acts like I have the AOD set to tap to wake (almost like pocket mode couldn't wake it up), and I have checked the settings and it is set to always. I rebooted the phone and its back to normal. I have set Pocket Mode to off for now and I'll see what it does.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] larryk:
Another Problem

Running beta, custom quiet time set to 11pm to 7am (also set to observe dnd). Put phone on wireless charger at 10:50pm, and at 11pm aod goes off, as expected, but when the phone reaches full charge the screen wakes up and stays on the aod (it should be off). I noticed it was still on 2 hours later, I tapped the power button and the lock screen came up, and then the aod was blank again like it should be, and stayed that was the rest of the night. This has happened 2 nights in a row. The only way that I have seen the work correctly with running the aod with a quiet time is to go into phone settings and set the aod from always on to scheduled, and then it does not wake up on full charge notification, or if it does it turns right back off (as it should), but the app resets the aod phone setting from scheduled to always.

The notification displays of this app work perfectly for me, it is just the quiet time and it thinking that I want tap to show occasionally.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] da_anton:
Hi Jamowo. Is a feature like this planned? Would be awesome to have the notification on for a longer time. :)

Hi,

I've just discovered your App and it seems to work great! Good work! Are you interested in a French translation?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Thebennyblanco99:
Several questions:

1 - After I clear a notification, it continues to flash the default color for a long period of time. How can I make it not flash the default color after clearing a notification? The setup I want is flash the notification color until I clear the notification, and then no flashing at all after the notification is cleared.

2 - Is it safe to keep the notification light flashing for 10 hours? I would like to leave it on all night so I can see my phone flashing if I have a notification in the middle of the night.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] themadproducer:
1) Notifications>Mark notifications as seen>Notification Cleared

2) Safe? It will use more battery % per hour.

I have pocket mode enabled and 10hrs.

When it's in my pocket...battery drain reduced since it's not lighting up or continually flashing.

Also if I am sleeping, I turn the phone upside down...same result.
