I got tired of waiting for Samsung to issue an update to the Galaxy S10 series that uses the hole punch as the LED Notification light, so I made an app myself. It displays while the screen is OFF and you can customize the shape, size, and location of the notification LED. I am currently working on updating the app to support more features, customization options, and stabilization. Enjoy!
The latest update, v1.3, is currently rolling out. Please update the app when it is available for fixes to dismissing notifications, ignoring static notifications, and of course, charging! (charging customization features coming soon)
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anker.ledmeknow
Features currently in development:
- Charging style
-> Color
-> Animation
-> Shape, size, location
- App-specific customization
-> Enable/disable app
-> App-specific notification color
-> App-specific notification style (shape, size, location)
- General animation styles
-> (Solid blinking (current))
-> Timing customization (how often does it blink/spin/bounce, etc)
-> Solid always (will risk burn-in, but was requested)
-> Spinning
-> Bouncing
-> (etc)
- Deep-sleep mode -> may not work properly, will investigate
Bug fixes to be fixed:
- AOD clock displays after a couple minutes, even if "Hide AOD" is enabled
- Charging animation still displays when screen turns on
- LED shows even after dismissing notification
- Static notifications trigger LED

I'm not a scammer, I just didn't open the floodgates to other countries yet. As I said in the edit, I will add the other countries later. And I will upload the apk here later as well, but I plan to update pretty regularly so the store will be the best option for staying up to date.

Unfortunately this is by design. I did everything I could to not have to wake the CPU, but because of the way Samsung handles the Always On Display, it was necessary. However, I am currently working on a feature that will NOT require the CPU to run in the background, but the LED notification light will have to be moved elsewhere on the screen. That may be a more suitable option for those who do not want to run the CPU, so long as they are ok with the LED not being around the punch hole.

Yes, that issue came to my attention earlier today via a Google Play rating. I believe it is caused by the pixel density on the device. I developed the application with the highest screen resolution set to WQHD+ 3040X1440. I will update the app with a screen density check which should solve this issue. I will also be adding a customization feature that lets you adjust the exact location of the light. Thank you for your feedback!
Wow! You did get this to work with aod!
None of the previous guys didnt (AOE, holey light).
Biig respect! But as mentioned the light is off even with WQHD+ on S10

Did you try it on your phone or are you saying it from the screenshot included on previous post? It is made light (Its close to original daydream text color) to prevent burn in yet with a shade which is easy to see on a Black bg. If its still lighter on your phone, Please PM me the screenshot of the app running on your phone and I will see what to do next. Thanks.

Thank you for your work! Does Daydream need much batterie if it is activated half the day or is it nearly like the phone is in standby-mode?

Well, anyway it is going to keep the screen on and thus consume battery so it is not like phone in a deep sleep. But yet, dont get disappointed! Its going to run only on the min frequency and doesnt eat battery as heavy as skype! Never does a wake lock.
Thank you for the fast answer. I just tried the app out. I really like the "minimalism" design (small, clear, not too bright). Sadly i can just use the screen saver if the phone is on a table and not in my pocket because the "menu" and "back" touch-buttons on my Samsung Galaxy S Advance can turn the screen on again very easily.
Keep on working on this app, i like it

I have another suggestion: The option to let notifications (e.g. E-mail, sms, whatsapp, missed calls) be shown in the screen saver. I don't know if you want to add this into your app at all, but for me it would be perfect.
And just relax, you don't get paid for this so you have all the time you need
Well... i have a nexus 7 and love the day dream clock. I have a Xperia P that had something similar to that but was hard to activate, so i tried this on my Xperia... well, it is a little dissapointing, the text is very small, doesn't seems designed, and it's almost invisible, i had to doble chek there was something on the screen.
As a new app i think it's going the right way, only needs a little more work. Perhaps color and text size options. I'll keep it to see how it evolves

Photo Table?
Hi, first i want to add out, that this is the best daydream/ or the first i have ever used! second, i was just wondering if you are ever going to add photo table onto this app? because i use daydream only to put photos for my screensaver, it'll be nice if you are planning to consider that keep up the good work!
Ever wish that LG had given the V10/V20 more widgets in the second screen? Well, wish no more! BoredSigns adds many more widgets to your SignBoard (get it? SignBoard --> BoredSigns?), ones you may need and ones you may not.
The best part about BoredSigns? It doesn't need root! That's right; you can get some brand new widgets on your completely Stock V10 or V20. In the future, ADB may be necessary for certain widgets, but right now, you don't need your computer at all.
Current widgets:
— Information
— Weather
— Image
— Navigation Bar
This app is open source! If you aren't willing to pay $0.99 to buy it, feel free to build it for yourself. I only ask that it not be re-distributed without substantial modifications (i.e. more than changing the theme and name).

I bought it in the play store (I want to support any development for the 2nd screen).
I have to thank you just for the simple fact that at first, I didn't know how to run it... so I went into the 2nd screen options. I had no idea that I had other widgets that I could run. I never thought to tap the "..." on "Show when main screen on" so I have been stuck with the basic options this whole time. Worth my $1.05 right there.
So, after using it for a few minutes, I noticed the persistent notification for BoredSigns, so I long-pressed it and turned off all notifications. Will this negatively affect the operation of the app? I did notice that when I swiped my notification shade down, or when switching between widgets, the 2nd screen options would come on, so I restarted the phone. It doesn't seem to be doing that anymore, but I did have to toggle weather on and off a few times to get a real location and not 100*F in Philadelphia.
Bonus question... where can I find out more about the "yet unreleased AOSP implementation of the 2nd screen?"
Found the perfect image for the second screen a mod one of the best football team in the world...perfect fit and color !
Happy user here....thank you again for this :highfive:
So someone suggested I do a navigation bar widget. After lots of Java reflection (the actual tool, not thinking about my life with Java), I went with a simple Accessibility Service.
Because of that, these functions will be available:
- Back
- Home
- Recents
- Split Screen
- Power
- QS Pulldown
- Notification Pulldown
If there are any other (simple) buttons you might want, suggest them. I'll add them in if I can.
Here's what it looks like right now:
NOTE: ALPHA PHASE HAS FINISHED.
If anyone wants to continue using this app which is going to be pro only for the moment, contact me (tg group and channel)
THIS PROJECT IS BEING UPDATED AND SUPPORTED AND I DON'T PLAN TO ABANDON IT.
If you ever wanted to have a working status bar in the second screen in a stock ROM, this is the thread you were looking for.
I have coded a widget for the second screen that replaces what the stock status bar does (and even more perhaps).
It has been months of coding.
As always, you have to install the app and open second screen settings and enable the widget.
If you want to hide the status bar, there are several ways. I do it using an xposed app to change status bar height. If you don't want to use xposed, you will have to go the long way of modding system. I may do it some day when I finish coding but there is a lot of stuff in my to-do list.
Don't forget to use the settings option to set some of the available features in this release.
If you find any bugs, I will need a log (logcat) with both log settings enabled. I will try to fix any bugs.
Check the attached screenshots!

I have not been trying much how to hide the status bar as I need time to code the app but afaik that can't be done because it will mess full screen apps (and maybe the notifications pull down because it's not drawn below the status bar but over it). Let me know if I'm wrong or if you know how to make it work correctly. Thanks
If you use any app that changes its notification icon, like a battery meter app, speedmeter app, weather app, etc, you will see the icon does not get updated. This is because I tried to optimize everything as much as possible so the app is coded to get the icon just once. The PRO version, if it ever gets to be released (depending on the interest of the users), will have some code to handle those apps which very little battery drain (which actually depends on how buggy or optimized is the notification posting from the app).
In the tg channel there is a video showing it.
@Daved+ tested works fine, thanks for this. I'm glad that it doesn't go away suddenly like previous solutions. I'm interested in buying pro version, jus need to figure out a way to disable the status bar without going the Xposed way. Tried Nova launcher hide option, it takes away the second screen as well, so no luck yet.
Edit: quote op correctly
Working great on my unlocked US996.
Would love to have single line height rather than stacked. Too cluttered with two lines of icons for my taste.
Thanks!

AFAIK you have to patch system to change the height of the status bar (you have to use apktool to decompile and compile).

Great to hear it works in different models. I can do other layouts, I have several ideas, this one was to use the second screen as much as possible to make the screen look bigger so no empty spaces in the corners. If you want, let me know your ideas, but I also need support to continue development.

Think there's a way to replace the default screen Date & Time Screen-Off Widget with yours when the main screen is off?
In the past, I have resorted to using battery percentage apps to get realtime charge levels during screen-off. I'd love to streamline that, using your app; which clearly has the potential to replace the default widgets.
Yesterday I installed MIUI 11 9.9.24 Beta ROM on my India K20 Pro phone. Below are my observations and feedback.
I was on MIUI 10 10.3.5 India ROM.
Installed Beta MIUI 11 by wiping Data, System, Cache. It is smooth overall and I find display better(it may be due to new font, don't know)
Observations:
1. Fonts are really good.
2. System Launcher is bit off. Swiping up opens up their own Media Center thing. (May be due to one of the launcher layout I selected while initial setup). Installed Poco Launcher, but it blacks out sometimes when going Home from an app. However it fixes once you perform recent app gesture and then back.
3. Downloaded 0.5 MB Google related chinese file from GetApps which install Google Services. Installed, but later while installing other Google stuff from inside that downloaded app, Google Framework failed to install.
4. Downloaded Google Play Store from GetApps. The installed all the apps.
5. Main issue was with Google Contact sync which was fixed by first installing Contact Sync 10 and then contacts. Opened app properties and given all the permissions. Restarted, it started working. May not work initially, but started working somehow.
6. Speaker sound is now better. It was very loud and uncomfortable earlier, but now it is much better.
7. Lockscreen notifications can now be expanded to read the content(which was not possible earlier)
8. System Wide Dark mode doesn't work all the times for non System apps.
9. Ambient Display has so many new options.
10. Samsung Routine like Tasks where you can schedule different system settings. Like lower down brightness to 0% between a time frame, etc.
11. Double tap to sleep doesn't work. Although double tap to wake works.
Overall it can be used as daily driver and I am loving it...
Great Explanation. Seems like a good build for a beta.
Can you do 1 thing for me?
I always wondered what are the new options for NEW Notifications when screen locked. Does it lit only the notification content like in pure andoird, or some other useless animations?
Can you post some screenshots of those options and feedback?
Thanks!
You can disable there media search when swiping up in the settings , I had the same issues as you with not all the Google frame work service not installing mainly contact sync , but overall miui 11 not to bad.

Actually I am using Ambient display, there it just put a small icon below clock with notification sound. Once I click on the icon, it go back to lock screen where I can expand that notification to read the content. You can also have different fancy screen glow animations when notification comes with Ambient Display
Will update you about your query in a while
Did u manage to get the ambient display notification working (the fancy glowing animation)? Coz i didn't even after enabling it.
Another thing issue is with app like WhatsApp being killed in background even after setting it as no restriction on battery saving and autostart app. U end up not getting any notification at all unless u open the app itself.

While on Ambient Display, icon appears below the clock with notification sound.(not sure if you are expecting more than this).
Whatsapp notifications are ok for me...Battery Saver set to MIUI Battery Saver...May be I am not using much apps or the apps which are consuming more battery in the background. That way Battery Saver doesn't come into picture I guess.
Seems like Working great.But ther was a problem with Gcam and Other applications like viper4andriod were not working properly in 10.4.8 which is based on Q . Can you do me a favour can u check whether those apps are working properly and give me a reply
The icon appear as usual for the ambient display. MIUI 11 suppose to add animation feature for ambient display upon new incoming notifications to rectify the issue of K20 Pro design having hidden led notification on the top of the phone. This is the one that im referring to as not working
Ive attached pic of the animation which i meant
thanks man for review and testing....one question, how about 75hz screen refresh rate mod? thanks bro
can I use it as a daily driver?

5. Main issue was with Google Contact sync which was fixed by first installing Contact Sync 10 and then contacts. Opened app properties and given all the permissions. Restarted, it started working. May not work initially, but started working somehow.

Actually I am using Ambient display, there it just put a small icon below clock with notification sound. Once I click on the icon, it go back to lock screen where I can expand that notification to read the content. You can also have different fancy screen glow animations when notification comes with Ambient Display
Will update you about your query in a while

Yeah, I found them... everything is working fine.
and the default font is so awesome
Is there anything we can use that would add to the native Ambient/Always-On Display a coloured blinking dot similar to the LED notification lights that previous devices had?

There's an app called notify buddy that you can try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy
Having a notification like that on the AOD would most likely have to be baked into a custom ROM but it's a cool idea.

Yeah I was hoping more for something capable of hooking into Ambient Display itself. The description for this app explicitly says the first thing you do is "Disable Ambient Display and any battery optimisation for the app."
I wonder if something like a Magisk module could do this.

Try AOE from the play store. I have it set so the AOD only comes on when a notification comes in. I have the edge lighting set to the colour back as I use a black wallpaper for my lock screen. Or you can play with the coloured edge. Up to you.
Interesting, yes it looks like AOE can draw over Ambient Display. Requires a crap ton of permissions but it works!
I can't seem to get AOE to work on my phone, I have Android 11 installed any help please?

It's not a very intuitive app. But basically you have to walk through all the app menus and let it ask for all the different permissions it needs, before it will actually work on Ambient Display.
It's sad to admit but i don't get it. I activated all the permissions but only get the standard AOD.
Could anyone export his settings? That would be awesome...
Hi, I followed these instructions:
https://www.thecorrectblogger.com/2020/09/google-pixel-4a-notifications-led.html
These worked for me. I'm playing still around with some options, but if you follow the steps in the guide linked above it should work.

Thank you! That guide worked perfect. Any clue of the battery usage difference between ambient display vs this?
No, I have no clue. I've never used the "classic" ambient display. Battery in general is very good, but I'm not a power user. Usually the battery of my smartphones last about 1.5 to 2 days.
I'll currently monitoring the battery life of the Pixel. With my user profile it will last at least 1.5 days.
i try do get the ambient Display only to show up when notification arrives or Phone is charging.
have been playing around with Always on Edge app but it seems i can't get the settings right. the app realy isnt intuitive.
anyone can help how to set it up right?
greetings

I also tried AOL but the program does not work on my Pixel 4a. Then I found this one - "LED Blinker " and everything works perfectly. You can download it from this site, but you must be registered.

It works great for me, for now I'm checking the battery situation.
I hope I helped and sorry for my poor English.

Hi, can you upload apk somewhere else and make a mirror link, please?
I have trouble registering because of the cyrillic captcha.

Thank you!
I have turned on AoD and I find it a suitable alternative to the led. There are notification icons in the centre of the screen when a notification has gone off.
Settings -> Display -> Advanced -> Lock Screen
Always show time and info on.
Everything else is off.
I know some links here, they will be useful for sure!
