sure there is no common workaround for all devices, as the restrictions vary. on Xiaomi devices I cannot even use keyevent via adb shell unless Mi account bonded (I don't) and explicitly allowed in developer options (I can't). that's a pity I can't use scrcpy on Xiaomi.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Ugh. input keyevent.

It has to spin up a Java just to do a stupid character.

Actually, I don't even know anything about sendevent

Me, I just make my own injector daemon using uinput and a pipe.

You can mod ueventd.rc to give a 660 to the pipe.

You're still stuck with the SELinux end of things.

I've been lazy. I just start the client app on the pipe, setenforce 0, kick it, setenforce 1.

I have to patch the SE policy correctly. Someday.

Ah, you do need root.

I've shied away from Firesticks because of all the imposed restrictions. I didn't realize that Xiami is worse. I've been searching for an OS level workaround but not having any luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapiosallos:
does the solution you describe require root?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
if access is denied one can't circumvent this. there is nothing you can do. all exploits are device specific - and maybe not what you're looking for. all you can get is uid 2000 shell.

Tasker 5.9.2 beta lets you run ADB shell commands without being tethered to a PC

The latest Tasker beta update brings a new feature that allows you to run ADB shell commands without being tethered to a PC.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapiosallos:
Since there is no way to sidestep the permission issue, is there any way that keyvents can be executed programmatically on the device itself? I'd like to figure out a way to simulate longpress keyevents.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
You need a notification light / LED for your Galaxy S23 Ultra? With aodNotify you can easily add a notification light / LED directly to Samsung's Always On Display!

You can select different notification light styles and show the notification light around the camera cutout, screen edges or even simulate an notification LED dot in the statusbar of your Galaxy S23 Ultra! As the notification light is integrated in Samsung's Always On Display it has minimal battery consumption and doesn't drain your battery like other apps which keep your phone awake!

If you don't need the Always On Display, the app can also activate the Always On Display (AOD) only on notifications or show the notification light / LED even without the Always On Display!

With the notification preview feature you can directly see if you have important notifications without waking your Galaxy S23 Ultra!

MAIN FEATURES:

• Notification light / LED for Galaxy S23 Ultra, Note 20, S20...

• Low energy notification preview (android 10+)

• Activate Always On Display (AOD) only on notifications

• Charging / Low battery light / LED

MORE FEATURES:

• Notification light styles (around camera, screen, LED dot)

• Custom app / contact colors

• ECO animations to save battery

• Interval mode (on/off) to save battery

• Night times to save battery

• Minimal battery consumption

BATTERY USAGE PER HOUR ~:

• LED - 3.0%

• LED & INTERVAL - 1.5%

• LED & ECO - 1.5%

• LED & ECO & INTERVAL - 1.0%

• NOTIFICATION PREVIEW - 0.5%

• ALWAYS ON DISPLAY - 0.5%

If there is no notification the app consumes almost 0% battery

DOWNLOAD:

NOTES:

• Samsung may block this app with future updates!

• Please check if the app is compatible before updating phone software or always on display!

• Altough we never experienced any screen burn in issues on our test devices, we recommend to not keep the notification light / LED active for a long time! Use at you own responsibility!

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TODI1111:
I used it on the S22 ultra and the previous devices as well. It is one of the first applications I download for all my Samsung devices. The S23 ultra also works perfectly. Again, many thanks for the development.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ipse_Tase:
There is no way I can describe how useful this is for the Galaxy phones. Had it on S21ULTRA, carried it over to the S23ULTRA...a true life saver.

I even combined it with Professional Reminder so I never ignore missed calls and texts.

Two thumbs up for the app and its author. 👍👍
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TODI1111:
Although I use these two applications. Perfect couple. It would be good if the knowledge of the prof reminder could be integrated into the aodNotify application.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] kiru:
Hi, is there anyway to also hide the finger print scanner icon? I just want to show the notification ring around the camera on the AOD. I also have the setting "AOD Manager" enabled. Previously, I used this on my pixel 6 pro and the icon was hidden.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bobthahog:
I was just curious if the developer of this app was going to continue to develop the side actions button remapper? I noticed it is not on Play store anymore. I can't get the power button to work but the volume buttons still work. I know this is the wrong forum but I searched and couldn't find the other. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:
What about battery? Is it drain a lot?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] It_ler:
Yes, you can change this behaviour in the system's fingerprint settings: Settings > Security and privacy > Biometrics > Fingerprints > Show icon when screen is off. There you can set it to Never or Tap to show (like I did).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] It_ler:
On my S23 aodNotity had about 1% battery consumption during the past 9 hours (during the night) ... and I received some notifications early this morning.

IMO this is really low and worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:
Good to know!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] It_ler:
Yes, I am also waiting for @Jawomo to release a kind of side actions app for the S23, or make it compatible for the S23. (The app ist still on Google Play, but not compatible for our devices. So, it is not listed when browsing with an S23 in Play store.)

Meanwhile I have set the double click action of the power button to launch the flash light "app": Settings > Advanced fatures > Side key > Double press > Open app and select "Torch".

Disadvantage of this solution is that I liked the camera to be launched be double clicking the power button. Now I must double tap the screen an drag the camera icon to start the camera app.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] kiru:
Have you tried "RegiStar" from good lock? It gives you a bit more setting for the side button. I currently have 2 press for camera and one long press for flashlight.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] gnasher666:
Hi, just purchased the full version as this is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you.

The one thing I don't seem able to control is the lock screen showing up after the notification disappear. I'm hoping I'm just being a numpty and have a setting somewhere which will sort this out for me. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] It_ler:
Please provide a little bit more information.

You mean lock screen or always on display?

So, your screen is off when a notification is received. A small notification bubble is displayed at the top for a short time (about 1 second), then it moves into the app icon and disapears. Then you should see the notification light (like set in aodNotify), and with aodNotify Manager app installed, the rest of the screen should be "black".

You should check your aodNotify settings in "General" section. There you can set always on display settings (mine is "Don't show"), enable aodNotify Manager (mine is enabled), and disable waking up the screen (mine is disabled).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] gnasher666:
That’s done it, setting always on display to Don’t Show. Thank You.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Rouvster:
Hey, thanks a lot !

Really cool app.

Installed and configured 🤩
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ludeape:
What are your settings? i am getting more battery drain that than.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] It_ler:
Here are my aodNotify app settings:

Spoiler content hidden.

Maybe it's a combination of aodNotify and system settings. Battery consumption is influenced by many different things.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bobthahog:
Yes I always liked using my power button to double press for a screenshot long press for the power menu and then long press and hold for full screen UI. So right now I'm still using it but only using the volume buttons. So I have volume hold down and I get a screenshot and then in the regular settings I have double tap on the power button set to flashlight and long press set to power menu. So I'm looking forward to him updating it also.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
android blocks changing the awake time unfortunately. only worked on older android versions...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
constant light will cause burn in quickly, so its not possible
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
thats not possible, business app are in a secured area, we dont have access to these notifications
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
It was not me making some app features incompatible. Google is adding more and more restrictions making it hard to keep full functionality. And often its just not possible to find a workaround.

Still did not find a solution for edge lighting. Other apps may work, but they use different approaches, which have other disadvantages like higher battery consumption or similar.

If i find something i will add it for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] waqqas.khokhar:
Any plans to further update sideactions?

My power button actions haven't been working properly since Android 13 launched.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
Honestly, since I started using your app with this smartphone, I stopped using the other app (that has edge lighting working) but I'm pretty sure it didn't used too much battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PG101:
Any chance you will make this compatible with the S24? Currently, it says aodmanager is not compatible l, though the rings work, but aod is screwed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] HTC_FUZE:
What is the difference between this app and Samsung build-in edge lighting?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
"HTC"? Till 2019 I was always, and only, HTC user. Oh, how I miss those great days of the innovative HTC. 🙂

The built-in doesn't let you "properly" custom, and only works one time when you receive a notification.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] HTC_FUZE:
Love HD2, so many customizations.

If I enable notification snoozing, edge lighting should just work like aodNotify app?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
Yes, HD2 was great. For me, their last amazing and innovative model was HTC M10.

Incredibly how stupid they were 🤦🏼

Regarding that app, i don't know. I'm still using aodNotify with the hope that Jawomo makes edge lighting work again.

Got it back today. People need to take a chill pill.

what can I add more ....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
Can you explain? I didn't understood.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cpt000:
me either.

I did a comment here about free speech ( a member comparing other option and OP asked to delete his post here in the thread, its a forum after all), someone or Op did a complain I assume, mod banned me and reset my account.

1 strike and ban, I found it a bit aggressive let say,
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
Didn't know.

Without defending XDA rules, the OP, or you, maybe if you read the forum rules, you'll find the answer for your situation 🤷🏼
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cpt000:
well, I had few thousand post , and I followed rules.

Only huge balls fight I guess.

Im on 15 forums, and xda is far the most conservative one.

and to prove my point, check that, this post will be deleted, since Im out of the topic. remember that

Bumping this @Jawomo
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] -BoneZ-:
Hello, @Jawomo

Your app support page said to come to this thread. I've got the new Galaxy S24 Ultra, which has Android 14. AODnotify seems to be working well so far, however the Always on Display has no brightness settings that I can see, as previous models have had. So notifications are incredibly dim. Too dim, in fact. Was just wondering if you had any tips, or are we at the mercy of Samsung on this?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PG101:
How did you get the AOD manager to install?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] -BoneZ-:
I thought the AOD manager was for older devices or older versions of Android, but I just installed AODnotifiy from the app store, and went through the check list of all the permissions. I'm not exactly sure what the manager is exactly for, but so far, notifications and the blinking light seem to be working. I did go into the app permissions and made sure it had all the permissions I could find, including removing it from battery optimization. Can I specifically look somewhere to see of the AOD Manager is actually installed?

My only issue is not being able to customize the AOD brightness, remove AOD clock, etc., like on previous phones or Android. I used to be able to just have the notification show up on the screen for a few seconds, then the screen would always stay off while only showing the blinking light until I cleared the notification. Now with the screen off on the S24U, when I get a notification, the whole AOD comes on, clock and all, along with the blinking light. And doesn't go away until I clear the notification. This again, is likely due to having less customizations available for the AOD currently.

Android is supposed to be the most customizable OS, but when they remove customizations, that defeats the purpose. Maybe we'll be able to use ADB or Goodlock soon to customize the AOD.

What issue are you having?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PG101:
That's the issue that aod manager resolves, customising it.. the app works, but it doesn't show the aod properly..
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] -BoneZ-:
I was just looking through the settings again, and in General settings for AODNotifiy, it shows AOD Manager as turned on like it's installed/enabled, but not sure how to confirm it. It must be because it's still activating the AOD and then turning it back off when the notification is cleared.

Don't forget to quote the person you're replying to as I didn't know you replied since I didn't get the notification :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jawomo:
beginning with android 14 google blocks installation of aodmanager.apk unfortunately

i did a fresh install on S24 and it works fine here without it
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PG101:
Thanks.. my issue is that I want to keep AOD off in the notify app. But that then prevents the charging info to be shown while screen off. I'll try reinstalling..
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] -BoneZ-:
We should be able to side-load the APK if it's absolutely needed. I've not had issues side-loading APK's yet on the S24U. But yes, it does work fine so far it seems. We just can't increase AOD brightness currently because Samsung completely left that setting out.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] -BoneZ-:
I currently have it set that way, and I get the charging screen/flashing light when charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PG101:
Reinstalling worked. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] pakraider:
One bug I see on the S24U with notification preview; if there are multiple apps with a notification, the notification preview is replaced by the clock on the AOD. The app icons still appear under the clock.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lvdoan:
@Jawomo, I just purchased the pro version from the Play Store. However, a few hours later I received a warning message from my bank app saying that I must disable aodNotify's Accessibility service to ensure safe banking transaction. Can you clarify the risk of using aodNotify? I do not want to loose all money in my bank account though aodNotify is a superb app.

My device: Samsung galaxy M34 5G, android 13.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Monipeev:
Am I to understand that it works for some and not for others? I'm trying to enable a notification around the camera but it doesn't work. S23U After 3-4 reinstalls and playing with the settings, everything is fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Valiante:
I just recently got this app and it's pretty solid!

Is there any way to make the notification preview = always on display?

It looks much cleaner to me than the Samsung native implementation.

After the notification preview, switching back to Samsung's native always on display lacks cohesion.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SUNUN:
Hi, tap to show aod option missing in menu.

Anny suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SUNUN:
Any suggestions dears?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lvdoan:
The support is dead.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
On mine, with AodNotify beta v6.0.0 it shows that option but doesn't work. In fact, when I choose it, it says that's an experimental feature and that errors might occur.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
Well in 2021 I bought the one for OnePlus and last year for Samsung. Support was never really alive...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] KantmiS:
Not better to make routine like this?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] It_ler:
aodNotify is working fine on my S23. And as I prefer the notification ring around the cameras hole while screen staying completely black, it's much better than any standard system routine I've tested so far.

Thanks jawomo for your excellent app 👍🏻
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SUNUN:
I need to show in bith options via type or new notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dscline:
I upgraded from the S23U to S24U. I used Smart Switch, so aodNotify came along, but I've had issues with AOD as others have mentioned (e.g. charging status not showing). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but behavior is the same. Is there something I'm missing about getting things to work correctly w/o the aodmanager?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PG101:
Simply reinstall the app.

I did. Didn't help.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] rockyvirgadamo:
The Notification light enhancement worked for a week and then stopped. I did the steps suggested and it still does not work. What else can I do? I really enjoy this feature!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] rockyvirgadamo:
I installed the app and purchased the upgrade. It worked for a week and then stopped. It hasn't worked since, despite doing the recommended steps in the thread. I would appreciate any assistance the developer could provide.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Naikkon:
Reinstall the app
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TODI1111:
It also works well on my S24 ultra device. I can suggest you to delete and reinstall the app. The battery limitation should be turned off.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SUNUN:
If option show aod on new notification or via tap available and working?

On mt device no!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TODI1111:
When setting up the device, AOD must be set to "always on". The application then controls the AOD. In the program setting, the setting for me is "only with notification" "activates AOD on notification and turns it off after you have viewed it"
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SUNUN:
Yes but do you have that option which i told you and can you try if it works for you?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TODI1111:
I understand that the program can only work properly if the device setting is "AOD always on". Otherwise, you cannot fully control the AOD.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SUNUN:
I am abot to set aod on on notification sor via type option in aod manager

Do you have that option and if it works?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TODI1111:
which version are you using? I this:

There is no such setting here:
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] CMC_PUBLIKUM:
It's true but there are apps that can do edge lighting on Android 14 (and Samsung phones). So, it's a matter of the dev to be willing to see how to update the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TODI1111:
I can suggest that you contact the developer. There must be an explanation for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] -BoneZ-:
I have to come here to vent. Many years ago, Samsung took the notification light away, requiring this app to be developed. This developer and app gave us an even better customizable notification light. Now on the S24's, Samsung has removed the ability to customize the AOD brightness, rendering this app useless as the AOD relies on your lighting environment despite me having auto brightness turned off. It still uses auto brightness for the AOD screen.

This really pisses me off. My AODnotifiy notifications are too dim to the point I almost can't see them. People on many forums including Samsung's own, have asked for the AOD brightness slider to be brought back. A Samsung rep on Reddit just told me there are currently no plans to bring AOD brightness slider back. So I may not keep my S24 Ultra, and may never buy another Samsung device again if this is the route that Samsung will continue to take by removing features and customizations on the most customizable operating system.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Lock-N-Load:
I'm on an unlocked s24u & everything I need to work seems to work BUT... The "App colors" function only adheres to the default color & not the colors I've set for specific apps (eg, red for Gmail).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] c3k:
I found an issue with android 14 / One UI 6.0 (S23):

- I have aod active for WhatsApp and a few other apps

- when I end listening a vocal message, I detach the phone from the ear

- the screen turns on (proximity sensor is ok in every app) but remains completely black

- rotating the screen horizontally make half screen visibile again (the right side)

- rotating back to vertical the screen goes black again

- locking / unlocking the phone restore the normal behaviour

- with aod disabled (or not authorised in accessibility) everything work as expected

- if I just remove WhatsApp from notifications aod is monitoring the problem remains

(- Every time I change an aod setting I have to manual re-enable the accessibility authorization)
