Always on display - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is always on display possible? Is there an app?

search on the PlayStore for: Always On Display From S7 G5
it's a new App but i can't add a link because i'm new here, it's a new app and it's working for me but it keeps the digitizer on so it takes a lot of battery.

hmmm.. it works great for me but i have GS5, it's a new App and they are working on it and they will add more features soon so maybe wait a little until they will fix those problems.

you also have to remember that the digitizer is on all the time and the battery will die fast because of it.
another thing is that unlike the GS7 this App will cause burn in since the clock doesn't move and remain at the same place all the time so be careful.
for those reasons i deleted the App and i'll wait for further development.

Swipepad: how to make it work

I find swipepad amazing, but it fails to turn up some of the times upon swiping. I tried placing the zone at bottom (so as to avoid conflict with phone's other swipes) but still occasionally the pad doesn't turn up at all.
Wrote to dev, and was told that the app has to be made to work on large screens (I'm using galaxy note). But no actions upon it by dev. I purchased all associated apps but all waste.
Does anyone know how to make the app work RELIABLY?
It works great for me with galaxy note at the default dpi. Never failed.
However if u change the dpi from 320 to lower values it does not always invoke the app. The reason is that the zone becomes smaller with smaller dpi
Do you use a lower dpi?
I did mail the dev about giving an option to let the user decide the size of the zone but no reply
Also enable the option to have it running in the taskbar. This prevents the system from killing it. ( i have never had to do it as killing by system never happened in my usage. )
I also found that having lower rt and lt coners invoke the app the best.

Didn't change dpi.
When you say lt and rt what does it mean?

Ok, you mean left and right. Got it.
I think it fails to invoke at times as Android functions and various apps functions too work with the same swipe actions.
Bottom zones are more reliable for the same reason, there are a few times when there is a meaning to up swipe in Android or apps. (scroll up us not an option at times, as in home screen or in dialer)
Bottom left and right zone means you are making a diagonal swipe, which again is not very common in Android or apps as an action.
I'm just guessing with these explanations here. I'm rather confused by dev's response that there needs to be some work done regarding large screen devices.
i find it real annoying that almost half the time, there's a 1.5-2 second delay when i select an app. It'll say "Start [App]..."

Which device? Doesn't happen with me
The app is bugged and never updated. If you hide pads, they show up at random. Also the app needs customizations to select. The black plain background sucks imo and 1 default sound does too.
I bought all the add-ons for it and kinda regret it. They aren't worth the money and the app fails imo when compared to wave launcher.

Working perfectly on Desire HD running MIUI. Sometimes, the app got killed by the system, so I convert the app into system app in TB, and voila! The app is now invincible.
I've rarely seen the delay, because of the OC maybe?

[MOD] Screen Tweaks

Requires Xposed Framework!
Hey guys,
this is the first project I'm sharing on here, so be gentle
After stumbling across the Xposed framework one or two ideas came to mind and I made a module out of them:
Hide the "Swipe to unlock" text from the lock screen on my Xperia Z1c
Enable the CRT off animation
Prevent the screen from turning on when unplugged from the charger
The first two things work nicely on my Xperia Z1c, the third however I could not get to work.
APK and source for the first version are attached.
I don't know if this is of much use for anyone else, but I would be glad if someone could help with the third option.
Update v2:
The third option works now, the new version 2 is attached.
If activated, the screen will not turn on when connected to (or disconnected from) either charger or dock.
Update v3:
I uploaded a new version (attached) which adds the following options:
Hide the camera icon on the lock screen
Hide the carrier label on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Hide the sparkles effect on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Update v4:
I uploaded a new version which adds an option for disabling the analog clock face above the list of alarms on some Xperia devices.
Update v5beta2:
The new version adds preliminary support for Lollipop (untested).
You're welcome to try it and give feedback.
The module can also be found on the Xposed repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.feichti.screentweaks
You say the "disable screen on on unplug" doesn't work, I haven't had a chance to check yet, but I've looked at your code an found the following
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as i can see on line 56 on ScreenTweaks.java, you are getting a value as a string from pref and checking if it equals "on" or "off". Why not just save a boolean?
secondly, line 39
mPrefs = new XSharedPreferences(MY_PACKAGE_NAME);
Don't you need the file name as well? Again, sorry if I am wrong about this
Otherwise, sounds like a great mod, will try it now
Hey hamzahrmalik, thanks for your reply.
The setting on line 56 is for the CRT animation, and it's that way so I can select to not do anything (don't change system default).
The other thing is correct, because I want the default shared preferences for the module package.
Well, looks like I was looking in the wrong place.
The setting for not turning on the screen works just fine if I connect a charger, but I was always testing it with the dock, which is something different.
Dock aware don't-turn-on coming soon...
thanks for work
any chance to disable the "stars effect" under the finger while unlocking?
maybe also remove the camera icon?
I have tried this on xperia z1 and it does not work

Dear Pezo,
Thank for the work, the crt-off works perfectly on my Xperia Z1c and it looks very nice!
The first option doesn't count for me because i dont use a lockscreen. The third i wil test later today and report the result.

I think there is a bug on disable screen sparkles. After activate the sparkles gone forever, also after uncheck or deinstalling the mod - the Sparkles never come back! Anyone can confirm that?

Tryed clean install on "PureStock" and here its working flawless! Returned to clean "Monx" and it happens again, maybe its rom releated! :fingers-crossed:
Does hiding the camera icon also disable the swipe camera shortcut from lockscreen?

Ambient display functionality.

Which app do you use to view the notifications and time at a glance without turning on the whole screen. Comment the name of the app and if possible attach the apk file and let's see which app performs the best.

Does this work screen off with 3rd party apps like hangouts? Initially it wouldn't glow the edge if the screen were off unless it was a text message.

Great update, thanx for letting us know, I almost never remember to check Galaxy Apps updates
Outstanding. Works on my S8. . Thanks!!
Actually it doesn't seem to be working on my S8. It allows me to make the changes in settings but now the edge lighting doesn't come on with any of the apps I selected and even with messages/text.
I know this update is posted in the S8+ section so could that be the reason it's not working or does anyone know how to fix? thx
Just installed it and it only works while the screen is off unfortunately

Mines not working at all.
It's a step in the right direction, but I think they should give you the option to manually pick the color for individual apps. Because I use Light Flow and I would much prefer if the edge lighting matched the same color as my notification LED.
Only one app was updated that was Edge Screen on my device. I have a G955U, and I ripped the apk and uploaded it. I haven't checked, but between devices the libraries could have been slightly different and the update redirects to multiple unreferenced versions for different devices.
So, sorry but I can only vouch this working on my end for the Galaxy S8+. I will update my download to reflect this statement.
Can anyone tell me how to actually get the edge lighting to work?! I have it set it on for EVERY APP, yet, I have never actually witnessed it work!
After recent update it still works for me only in stock samsung messenger
and calendar apps. Nothing else, same as before.
If it works - it works in all possible combinations (face up/down, screen on/off).

Please dont fool yourself with those crappy chinese AOD apps. Accept the fact that if samsung didnt give AOD as a integrated feature it will never come. I tried for many hours to edit the kernel to make the real AOD work but it just wont work, the display doesnt support it.
All those chinese apps do is when you turn off your screen, the app turns it on and adds a AOD overlay ontop of the lockscreen which is just total bullcrap and is buggy

But but but sir, AOD is real sir sand kernel plox
lol
In all seriousness though, it's a shame that native AOD doesn't work on this device, it really is a bad phone I don't know what Samsung was thinking
Is there any AOD that works normally on J6 Pie? There is 2.0.4v that works ok but it has a lot of bugs. Other stuff from the store eats battery like a 5-6% /1h.
