No ?

I dunno if you're still interested, but there is a way to get it to blink more often:
There's an app called Oxygen AOD Mod. It's on the app store, and there's no root. You can set intervals for the horizon light to flash multiple times.

You can root then flash renovate magisk rom that is in telegram for latest, or op7 pro thread for latest stable
Has option to keep screen lights flashing till you view or extended duration

Thank you @heavy95d for this hint :good: the oxygen AOD Mod app looks great and horizon light is working now more than once bedtime (no notification in defined period) also works fine on my OnePlus 7T Pro. only missed calls don't get a notification hint.
battery usage is very low. i had used the app NotifyEdge in the past. also a super app with a beautiful edge lightning. but unfortunately this app drain the battery very fast if lightning is active. so oxygen AOD Mod is the better app for reactivate Horizon Light.

I use the free no-ads Plus Beat app since the OP7TPro day one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vaf.vishal.plusbeat&hl=en
No battery drain and it shows also the notification content on the Ambient Display screen, so non need to unlock to read the messages.
Lot of options, also a Do Not Disturb mode to skip notification alerts while sleeping.
However all these similar apps don't show missed calls and apparently interfere with invoking Google assistant by voice.

hmmm i don't have problems with oxygen AOD Mod app and Google voice.

But the Always On Display (AOD) and the Ambient Display are 2 different things: which does Oxygen AOD Mod use?
OnePlus doesn't have yet native AOD (but soon will do), it has Ambient Display but it's launched only once when receiving a notification and it's not repeated furthermore. Repeating it continuously is just what apps like Plus Beat do.

you are right. Oxygen AOD Mod use Always on Display not the Ambient Display from OxygenOS. But this ist not really a problem for me it works well and battery usage is very low and Horizon Light working now with Oxygen AOD Mod. all is fine :good:
but nice to hear OnePlus bring AOD soon :good:

Ground Zero Rom - Validus Oreo

Another rom, I found that we can use:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gr...7-1-1-ground-zero-roms-validus-tesla-t3590277
In the last Downloads, the one says Get Validus 8.1 here, that can we use.
I haven't found any bugs, so far.
Wow...
It was hidden, hard to find.
Will there be an official version? This is RC.
Only validus is compatible with x722 ?.

I haven't found any bugs. I used it in two days, everything works great, except one.... When I receive phone call for first time, it was on loudspeaker, but the rest works fine.
Calling or I never used VoLTE (voice over lte) nor need it, cuz' it has good call quality.
Loudspeaker talking on high volume distorts the sound, so it is not recommend to use it on meetings or driving.
When I plugged the audio adapter, it used to start music app, but it can be disabled by Settings, WolvesDen, on the tap called Multi-tasking, Headset, Launch music app on headset connection.
Where to turn off ambient light and wake? This feature does crash launcher 3. On Aicp 13.1 also crash trebuchet. After disabling ambient light for Aicp is good.

In Settings, Display, Advanced, Ambient display or Settings, WolvesDen, Lights, Notifications light. I never had that problem when I receive text or app notifications. Was it specific app that crashed launchers or every notifications?
In the morning there is no led, only Aquamail notifications are on the phone. After waking up the fingerprint launcher3 does not respond. I do not want to turn off the screen saver when notifications but only ambient light. Notifications on a black background.

Fingerprint was reported unresponsive at original thread, same as other Oreo roms, if I remember correctly...
It called Ambient light, the notification on black background, so disable it will stop show the new messages or notifications, only led will remain.
In Settings, Apps & notifications you can change settings which apps to show or hide notifications, it might be disabled by default.

[APP] Pixel Pulse for ambient display

Introducing Pixel Pulse - a simple app to make your Ambient Display pulse when you have notifications!
Choose the interval and select the apps you want you to cause your screen to wake.
Optional paid features let you select different icons and colors for specific apps but the interval and app filter core functionality is all free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
If you had previously purchased Ambi-Turner, it has been updated for the new permissions, but because it was written for 8.0 and when Google's ambient display worked differently I decided to leave it as it is. You may however transfer your purchase status of Ambient Display to Pixel Pulse using both apps.
FIRST!
So, I've installed and tested and here are my initial findings:
It works great and looks gorgeous!
If you have your notifications set to display the notification contents, those contents will also flash on the screen.
The default display interval of 60 seconds works perfectly, but when I set it to 30 seconds, it flashed approximately every 10 seconds for some reason.
The notification it chooses to flash doesn't appear to be based on the most recent received or highest priority. Can you explain how the app knows which notification to flash on the display?
So far, there is no way to interact with the notification. Swiping away or double tapping do nothing.
The only way to wake the phone is to press the power button or fingerprint scanner.
This is a great start and I hope you please keep up the great work! I will be donating to the cause!

The times were accurate on my pixel 2, but my pixel 3 which only just arrived, was being stopped. Probably due the aggressive process killing I've read about. So this morning I quickly added a secondary wake to keep it from being killed. I'll sync the times when I get home from work.
It uses the natural order of notifications. A priority option would be a good idea.
No interaction yet, but that's planned. So is a blackout period (don't pulse when you're sleeping for example).
Ignore my comment about the notification priority - that was user error.
Feature request: Can you add an option to have the ambient display stay on (no pulsing) until the user bypasses the ambient display screen? The flashing of the ambient display is a little distracting when the phone is on a desk. This way, we could still tell at a glance when we have a notification waiting, but the screen will go back to all black once we act on it or simply unlock the phone.
I can try but it may not be possible without root.

I have been working on a similar app, and could not find a way to get this to work while still allowing the device to doze, so the battery life is heavily impacted. Did you solve the battery drain issue?

I haven't noticed a battery drain issue, but I'm hoping xda can help find one if it exists. I'm not actually turning on the screen so doze should remain active.

Ah, I see. I have not actually run your app. I did not realize that your were pulsing the notifications themselves -- that's clever! For my own implementation, I am animating a fake LED that fades in and out, which obviously requires the screen to be on. The AOD has a way to doze with the screen on, but I have not found a way to expose that functionality to an app without root.
Anyhow, I see you are using setExactAndAllowWhileIdle to schedule your pulses. I wonder what the battery (and timing) impact is compared to setAndAllowWhileIdle?
Nice work on this!
I originally went down the road of doing a custom screen to mimic the LED until I came up with this idea.
From other threads I've seen some people will prefer that even if it uses slightly more battery.

I'm willing to be a tester for you if you need one. Pixel 3, rooted with magisk.
There's now an option to be able to swipe to dismiss and double tap to open the app. I'm working on notification actions next.

I may be able to use the real icons and colors. If so should I just remove the icon customization or would people still find that useful?
Hi mate, i bought your app right away. If you can integreat the original Icons for the famused apps, that would be great.
And can you look at the puls time? I set my time to 20 seconds but it puls every 40 - 50 seconds? Strange.

just as it is perfect now, only the repetition time does not work reliably
There is a possibility that the AOD stays on until the message has been read
Been looking for a way to customize the notifications since there's no LED light on this phone. I installed and bought you a coffee, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for your efforts.
Hi is this app only usable to Google Pixel phones???
Man this sounds like an awesome app however I'm on an LG V30 (which also doesn't have an LED but this doesn't seem to work. The notification interaction feature alone would be worth the donation.
I'll mess around some more and see if I can get anything

[App] Edge Lighting fix for all Apps with screen off (ACTUAL Edge Lighting)

Get actual Samsung Edge Lighting Notifications with any app while your screen is off!​
Since we all know Samsung only did half the job with this feature, this app will enable you to trigger Edge Lighting (the real one !) when your screen is off. It works with any app by reading the app notification creating a new temporary notification that triggers edge lighting (you won't notice it in your notification list).
You can set custom color filters for your apps, based on their names.
Real Samsung Edge Lighting
Extremely minimal battery drain
No fake AOD Screen
Works with ANY app (including Messenger!)
Initial setup is a bit tedious, but that's mostly Samsung's fault.
Any suggestion to improve the app is -of course- welcome!

I have a galaxy s10+, I'm pretty sure I did what you said and it's not really working right now.
Tried with few apps like gmail, whatsapp and telegram notifications on my s10plus and its working great.
Great works but for me that I use AOE to have the notch light notification instead of the absent led, it doesn't work.

Thanks for your answer , but with Always On edge I can have the notch notification untill I read it. With the edge lightning I have only the lighter when the notification come. I like to have both.
I was using always on edge and holey light together to have this effect but this affect the battery so I was looking for another solution.

Well I use my app for Edge Lighting (around the edges, not the notch) to see when a notification comes, and Holey Light to remind me of unread notifications.
I can't seem to get it to work. I have edge lighting set to always. But when my screen is off it doesnt work. I'm actually getting only this app's notification with it's color (black)

Yes the same happen to me samsung s10e
On my S10e it is working.
But I probably do not fully understand philosophy of the edge light at all or something, because for what is this good for when it only do the effect one time, which takes only few seconds and thats all.
How will this help me to alert to SMS for example when I get back near the phone and look at it?. Or it is not ment as substitute for notification LED?

No it's not meant as a substitute for notification LED. First release was actually on phones that had a notification LED. It's just a pretty way to display notifications. And if your screen is off, it will prevent it from turning on.

Edge Lighting just makes the notification more noticable if the phone is in view, that has always been its only purpose. It allows you to see, by color, what the notification is. It is not and never was meant to a substitute for the notification. Now, if you use Holey Light and Edge Lighting you can have both...
Can't wait to try this. Curious though, how did you learn to make Android apps in a day then upload it to the play store that quick. I started learning a while ago for games and still not the best at it and uploading to the play store normally take max of 24 hours to get on to the store lol.
The app is working great, however, these would be my suggestions for a slight improvement:
1: Add a search function, as the list can be quite long.
2: After you switch on an app, move it to the top of the list, so that when you enter the app all of the ones marked "on" would be at the top.
I can't think of anything else as it is working just fine.
What happens when multiple notifications come in? Will it cycle through them?
Yes
Just tried it but I am sticking with just Holey Light. It would be nice to have this maybe cycle back on for a set amount of time so you could use it as a notification light.

MIUI 11 - Ambient Display Breathing Light [BUG]

So it would seem one of the features of miui 11 which I looked forward to is not as effective as I hoped. That is the pulsing breathing light.
When the screen is locked, the ambient display brightness dims after a few seconds. If and when a notification comes, the brightness remains dim and you can hardly notice the pulsing effect or even the arrival of the notification for that matter.
I would assume the screen would brighten up and the pulse would be more prominent but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.
Yes it's pretty useless feature notification dont seem work very well since getting 11

Same here
Got miui 11 on my k20 pro yesterday, feels quite nice but the notification animation (rhythm) lights up continuously when, for example, the Google maps notification is active. Feature is quite cool but this makes it rather useless/annoying.
Got the MIUI 11 few minutes ago.
I thought the ambient display would work like the old Moto X, just showing something when I receive a notification or raise up the phone.
Showing all the time like this doesn't rises the risk of burn in? Or am I missing some option?

Similar issue here, AOD works as normal (although message icons are very dim, almost invisible), breathing light works but only blinks once.. which is quite useless as it's so quick can hardly notice it.. anyone know if there is a fix so it pulsates longer?

Since 11 I don't get any notifications like I did. Screen stays black with AOD turned off but sounds off. With AOD on it does not show any new notifications or any lights go off. Useless.

AOD only works with some apps. Whatsapp and Gmail work. Textra and Outlook do not. It has never worked properly on MIUI. It's pretty useless like this. xiaomi.eu devs add each app (by request) to the AOD. I don't know why Xiaomi have such a poor AOD.

Question LED notification light

I come from phone which had LED notification light and missing this functionality on Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G.
Is there a solution to have "always on display" ALWAYS ON if there are any notifications? (so that it would be enough just to look at your phone to see if there are notifications)
There are apps like aodnotify and led blinker that should do that.
For my phone they don't work very well, I think it has to do with optimisation. If you exclude then from optimisation they could work better. But I think they use a lot of battery.
I have tried NotifyBuddy and AOE apps but they does not seem to work consistently.
I guess other solution would be to get always on display feature always on. Is there a way to disable 10 sec AOD?
Is it possible to do it with Magisk?

I personally don't know how to disable.
I am annoyed that Xiaomi sells their phones claiming they have aod screen whereas they clearly don't have it. A blatant lie and interesting that none of the official reviews emphasizes this.
I found a solution to use Always On Display as notification LED, the only issue with that is that it works only for 10seconds... But there is workaround to disable UI Optimization in Developer menu (which causes some other bugs also). I hope to root my phone after 7days waiting and use Magisk to get proper AOD working all the time.
