How? Its a completely different chipset? Your asking in the wrong place this is xiaomi mi A3 forums so I'd say ask in your own devices threads or open a question in your devices forums

Don't know why, but it's not working for me. Updated my Google app, turned on/off Ambient display and screen scares.
Still no luck

It is probably a server side change as with majority of new Google features. I just got a prompt if I want to use ambient assistant one day. To be honest you're not missing much. Assistant is showing all status bar icons (even the hidden ones) so it isn't possible to quickly see if there is some missed notification. Also it doesn't show arrival of new notifications. And the "photo frame" feature stops showing photos after few minutes, turning the phone into a fugly always on display. I turned it off and continue using system AOD which is working as one would expect. Maybe ambient assistant will get useful in the future (if it's going to be customizable), but now it seems like a beta version.

Works perfectly on my Mi A3, but i think i'll not use it or at least not the photo gallery mode.

[ROM][Stable] MIUI 10.3.1.0 Global

http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.1.0.PEAMIXM/miui_MI8Global_V10.3.1.0.PEAMIXM_2b7f9b716a_9.0.zip
Any bug ?
Weird, I had had dark mode enabled in developer options before I updated from the latest stable. It had had no effect ofc with the previous stable release. After updater had restarted the phone dark mode appeared for a minute but then gone away. Even from the developer options so I can not re-enable it. ? WTF Xiaomi

Same for me, so dark mode is hidden somewhere
Hide notch is back! Also I never got dark mode and I can't find it anywhere on the settings
If you want one really good black theme, just search for True Black Two changes are great, 4k and 1080p in 60fps and notch tinkering
Actually it's really annoying that they pushed status bar a little higher. Can I somehow bring it down again?

Nice update and getting closer to perfect for me, however. Auto-brightness is still hopeless, doesn't remember adjustments you make based on various light conditions and very slow to respond (still using Velis). Always on display had improved, now showing date and battery level, it also reacts to lightning conditions, annoyingly though still turns off at night making it not 'anyways on' (I don't have a schedule in place). It also only shows some notification icons, not Outlook for example. Hide notch seems buggy for me. Now it removes the notch with the clock and battery icons etc moving down with the corners of the screen.
update gone !!!
a few hours ago i saw the new update notification but i had no wireless connection, but now i can't find the update any more !!
so i'm wondering if they did remove the update ??!!

The update has been successfully completed by the manual method.
1 - Download update file to the device memory.
2 - Open Updater app and click on the Photo in the center (number 10 in color) 10 times .
3 - Press the three properties above and choose
" Choose update package " and then choose Update file and follow the update steps by steps ...
Sorry for my baad English ..
i speak German and Arabic ..
Another update. Bluetooth Absolute Volume remains broken, also the feature resume media playback on apps when a Bluetooth device connects seems now to be buggy.
This update appeared several hours ago but when I pressed the notification, it's says no update available ? glad to see that notch hiding availability is back though.

Yes it is back, but is a mess also, very buggy.
Also, we can choose to hide/show in individual apps, but it works only on one of my apps so far...
Other bugs:
1. Brightness is not working as it should. I set it to 50% manually and it goes back to full after a while
2. The screen turns on by itself just like that, and there is nothing on it to show, no notifications...
3. Battery is very unstable, looses 10% in standby within half an hour, then it is OK for some time, but this should be given some time after every update.
4. When I type password on the lock screen it doesn't show any sign that you are pressing numbers, so I miss it sometimes. Before it showed a shadow when number is pressed.
5. I use option to show how much mobile data is spent in the notification shade, now it is not centered as it was before.
6. In the camera UI it shows a big white dot in the upper left corner, which does nothing.
Uh, enough for this time...
Yes brightness not working like 10.2.3 that was pretty good. Now too slow
dark mode did nothing on previous version however its option were available on devoloper settings, but now it is gone!
hide notch is back but it is very buggy.
i received the update notification but upon clicking it there was no update, had to do it manually xiameme seems too poor to afford servers.
My diarrhea still haven't got better.

[APP][2021.03.02] Holey Light - Samsung/Pixel Notification LED Emulator [v1.00]

100% Free - 100% GPLv3 Open Sauce - No ads - No tracking - No nags - Optional donation
Holey Light is a LED emulation app. It animates the edges of the camera cut-out (AKA punch-hole) as replacement for the sadly missing LED on many modern devices.
Additionally, it provides a notification display for when the screen is "off", replacing - or working in conjunction with - the Always-On Display feature. As this display is not around the camera hole, it is aptly named the Unholey Light.
Supports all Samsung devices with in-screen camera hole, and several Google Pixels.
Features
Emulates notification LED
Four different display modes: Swirl, Blink, Pie, Unholey Light
Configurable animation size, position, and speed
Customizable color for each notification channel
Selects initial notification color by analyzing dominant color of app icon
Displays during screen "off", sub-1% battery use per hour in Unholey Light mode
Separate configuration modes for different power and screen states
Ability to mark notifications as seen based on various triggers
Respects Do-Not-Disturb and AOD schedules
Can hide AOD completely, partially, and/or keep the clock visible
Additional AOD Helper package for further battery usage reduction
All teh details and all teh sauce!
It's all on GitHub!
Download
You can grab it from Google Play.

Nothing pops up on my S10+ after permission needed 2/4 (link device). Are there any logs i could provide? Is there any way to link it manually?
Seems not working for me - S10.
I tried it and received some push notifications from telegram, Outlook and WhatsApp, but no holey light (nice name btw).

There's no selection dialog for a Wi-Fi network / Bluetooth device at all? Have you tried closing/reopening the app? Uninstalling/reinstalling it? Making sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both on and you're connected to something?
I do not know how to link the device/companion app manually, no. Until I needed it to work around a bug in the notification system, I didn't even know it existed.

Try un/reinstalling and rebooting.
I've seen others who use notification access comment it sometimes doesn't start, though I haven't encountered that behavior even once during testing.
Otherwise I don't know. Did you grant all the permissions? Did a device link pop up?
It could of course also be an internal crash. Check logcat.

Neither did I, hah! It actually shows Wi-Fi networks for me too, and selecting one of those worked just as well during testing, so I didn't think it'd matter.
thanks master for your app.
I'm using s10+ exinos and i just want to report that's working.
my device is charging and notification is working fine, got an email for testing. i hope it will work if device is using battery power and screen keeps off if notification comes in.
additional info if it's important: I'm using fingerprint, face and pin security.
thanks again

Off screen show lights does not show.

Can't seem to get it running but I'm super excited about this. Maybe I need to ditch the Samsung edge Lighting
When I tried to perform permission needed 2/4 (link device), I cannot find any device name call "Holey Light" and I only can find the Bluetooth-enable device around me. Do I just need to choose one of them?

I found out that it's working for Gmail and Samsung's Stock Email app, even when locked.
WhatsApp works, but only when unlocked and only when status bar is visible (so not for full screen apps).
Does your app stops the phone from going into deep sleep?

WhatsApp works fine for me, both locked and unlocked, so that's strange. What sort of full screen app did you test with? Might be Android hides the overlay when an app is fullscreen? Note it only works in portrait mode, there's no way to draw in the right place in landscape.

[APP] Arc Lighting - Notification Light for Galaxy S10/+

Hey everyone!
I'm here to announce the release of a new Android app developed by me and my partner under the company "Symetium Corporation."
REMOVED
The app is basically just a list of things we would really want to be able to put around the camera cutout. It's extremely customizable and has endless combinations of setups. For example, you can enable a setting called 'Always Show Ring' which lets you have a solid color, dynamic color (based on the current app), or a few different types of gradients. In addition to that, you can run a rotation animation on it. Finally, you can also set up different indicators such as a notification indicator, an audio visualizer, a charging indicator, a low battery indicator, a critical battery indicator, and a device overheat indicator. Another notable effect is that you can add a glow effect to spice up the ring's appearance.
The app isn't free because we need to make back some of the development costs as well as fund our exciting upcoming projects, HOWEVER, you get 1 free hour of use and can watch short video advertisements in exchange for additional hours of time using the app. If you can't afford to purchase the app, we understand but would still love it if you would take a moment and try the app for an hour or two!
Compatible Devices
- Galaxy S10+
- Galaxy S10
- Galaxy S10e
Download
The app can be found on the Google Play Store here:
REMOVED
If you have an S10, S10+ or S10e, we'd love for you take a bit of time and try it out. Feedback is extremely crucial to us at this stage of development so we'd love to hear back from you! Thanks for your time!
Update:
Announcing support for the Galaxy S10e!
Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to this new update. We really appreciate your help!
nice but it's out of position.
Bug
Position of ring out of hole Please update this in newer version.
[No message]
So before anyone asks, what are the advantages over Chainfire's implementation ?
Does it work screen off ?
EDIT : This is not aligned with the camera hole on my SM-G9730.

it does seem to work screen off as I can see the ring when AOD is enabled, but it's out of position, it's not around the camera cut out.

no guess not as I turned off AOD it would not appear until I touch the screen for the fingerprint to appear.
Hey everyone thanks for the feedback! I just released an update to fix the positioning issue. Apparently, I was using the wrong method for device detection. Basically, you were all seeing what I see when I test rather than what you SHOULD have seen using an S10/S10+. Apologies for the confusion! The update should rollout within the next few hours.

It works as long as you have Always-On display enabled. Our goal eventually is to make it work regardless of whether or not AOD is enabled.

@epicality, Hmm, Where's the setting for the s10+? I'm getting half cut-off circle, it seemed to be for the s10 model?
Also now I got this error message, please see attached.
i got a very big cutout in s10+
@epicality
its still out of position with latest update, it's get little better when using WQHD+ resolution, but using FHD+ makes it worse.
Hi do you still have issues with alignment or detection im getting emails from people about it still apologies for this but neither he or I own a s10 or s10+ to test on
I am the client who designed the app

I currently purchased your program and hope for further upgrades.
Bugs I found:
1. The program cannot correctly recognize the phone model (Hong Kong S10 SM-G9730), see attached screenshot.
2. The position of the ring coincides with the position of the camera.
If you're having issues with the app recognizing your device, please download the app "Phone Device Info" by "sadens studio" and send a screenshot of the first section like so:

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?

Hello,

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.

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:
