Arc Lighting adds a highly customizable ring of light around the camera cutout of your phone. You can use this light with various indicators such as audio visualization, notification lighting, critical or low battery warnings, as well as a charge indicator. The ring can also appear on your Always-On display. (to make aod work you need to make sure you have downloaded always on amoled and activated it, you also need to make sure samsung stock aod and samsung edge lighting is disabled under samsung display settings you also need to make sure that aod is enabled under arclighting with override set to off)
Features:
- Highly customizable lighting for Galaxy devices and most other devices. Select a variety of colors, animations, and styles.
- Always show ring with various gradient effects (add multiple colors and make them spin for a visual experience)
- An adjustable glow effect that can be turned on or off (sometimes this can cause the light to freeze to a white glow this will be fixed)
- Notification lighting both when the display is on or off (update planned for only the lockscreen or only inapp)
- Music lighting that syncs the light to your music (does not work together with other indicators so other indicators will stop working if you enable music lighting this will be fixed)
- Battery indicator lighting for charging, low and critical battery states. (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appearm, not configuring zones can freeze the light entirely this will be fixed)
- Device overheating indicator for gamers and power users (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appear, not configuring zones can freeze the light entirely this will be fixed)
- Arc Lighting can be configured to match the color of your wallpaper, the app you're currently in, or both! (this only works for the only show ring and only when you set it to a solid color the option is not available for gradient colors which will be added later)
This app requires certain permissions to function correctly.
Accessibility: This permission is used for the ring to appear over your lock screen, always-on display, and for accessing the color of the current app you're in. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Draw Over Other Apps: This permission allows the ring to show on top of other apps. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Microphone Access: This permission is used to analyze the internal device audio for the music lighting. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to enable the Audio Visualizer indicator for the ring.
Storage Access: This permission is used to get the color of your wallpaper. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to use the color of your wallpaper for the ring.
Notification access: This permission is used to change the color of the ring after notifications
Burn-in concerns: Some Android displays may suffer from mild burn-in if a single item is displayed on the screen for an extremely significant amount of time. If you are concerned about this, feel free to enable the rotation animation in ring settings. That will ensure the display is constantly changing. Alternately, you can disable the default effect to only show the ring while an indicator is being triggered. Note: Samsung Galaxy devices come with burn-in protection that moves the pixels a little each time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
how do i disable individual notifications: currently this is a planned update, you can go into custom colors and set each app you don't want notifying to 100% transparent
light is constantly flashing even if i cleared all notifications: sometimes theres forced notifications such as when you're charging it will force a notification that says you're fast charging, the light will pick up on these you need to hold on these notifications and turn them off to stop the light there should be nothing at all in the notificationpanel, if you still have a flashing light with nothing in the panel contact me.
frozen light: music lighting will disable all other indicators same with battery indicator or battery temp indicator, you need to set custom zones otherwise the light will be frozen, glow also tends to freeze the light so turn that off if it's frozen (this will be fixed in a coming update)
i have given out codes now to over 5000 people and i still have more people to send out to, it would mean a lot if you rated my app as it has received quite a lot of hate lately, this is ofcourse not required to receive a free code but it is appreciated and would personally mean a lot to me considering the damage the bad ratings has caused, the s21 has not been officially tested yet so there may be bugs, arc lighting comes with an alignment slider to support most devices
also note that currently the code is being rewritten i have not heard from the developer for some time so i don't know any eta but hopefully soon, if i had more money i would do more with this app unfortunately theres not much i can do apart from bug fixes, but the new code should fix most bugs and make it overall better.
Does anyone have the s21 yet to properly test I should get mine on Monday

Hi everyone,
I have been testing a lot of different custom ROMs for my X10 but so far I have not come across a single one that 1) support the advanced CM backlight settings successfully allowing the backlight to be set below 15/255 2) any market app that would achieve the same thing i.e. lower the backlight to lower than what is achievable through the normal settings slider. Screen Filter is not good, it only lowers the color brightness but the backlight still burns your eyes. My HTC Hero supported the CM settings and it is the only thing i miss after my transition to the otherwise glorious X10.
Quick question -
I have a rooted HTC DesireHD & sometimes I'd like to use the 'Auto brightness' feature - especially if moving indoors/outdoors quite regularly.
However I've noticed that the screen brightness seems a little 'too' bright compared to how I usually have it (indoors I usually have it ~12%, outdoors ~90%) - In 'auto mode' the 'indoors' seem to be about 20-25%
I pretty sure that there is a way to telling the Android system the level to have the screen depending on how much light the light sensor picks up - but I think that involves editing certain files & 'ADB' command etc (which I'm not totally confident I could do)
Does any1 know of an App (preferably free) that shows the current light level picked up by the phone & the brightness level that's been currently used, which also allows you to alter (& save) a lower value for that light level (perhaps with a slider or value box ??)
Thanks in advance
Well despite 130 views - seems like no-one has any suggestions
Anyway, I persevered with Google play search & it seems I may've found a couple possibilities (Avaliable as 'free' and 'paid for') so I thought I'll post them here in case any1 else wants them
There's Custom Auto Brightness (free) here
AND
Lux Auto Brightness here (Lux has paid version that allows even darker levels of screen display)
I've tried out 'Custom Auto Level' but either I was doing something wrong, but on occasions it would'nt dim the screen in bright light (I tested by shining a torch onto the sensor), however I'm currently trying out the LUX [Free] version to see if it'll do the job
(Took a while to actually figure out that you had to use the 'Link' option to actually SET the brightness of screen to Level of light detected )
One of the reasons i bought this great phone is that it has multiple colour notification lights. I found it strange that you can only enable or disable them in the configuration of the phone.
I've tried some apps from the Play Store to configure specific colours for specific apps, but non of them work very handy and consumes a lot of power as well.
Any suggestions?
you may use Light manager pro (works fine), Light Flow.
Unfortunately, notification Light (on non-rooted phone) has small viewing angles and can be enabled only after screen is off.
Battery Ring - Energy Ring Indicator for hole punch phones creates energy ring as battery indicator on top of the screen.
Although Battery Ring works on any phone, its worth trying on phone with hole punch camera lens like new nokia x71 and many more hole punch camera lens phones.
Battery ring app allows creating ring around the camera lens indicating current Battery level. its also adds accent look to your front camera lens.
Battery ring app have many options to customize and make energy ring configurable at great extent.
On full charge, it creates 360 degree energy ring around the front camera lens.
While charging, ring animates if you enabled this option.
features:-
◇ Battery Ring allows you to place energy ring on any location of your phone screen.
◇ Battery Ring app is very light on battery, almost 0% load on CPU.
◇ Battery Ring works only when battery level gets updated and when screen is ON.
◇ You can change the colors of the ring, thickness of the ring and size of the ring.
◇ You can move ring using x and y coordinates to place ring accuratly.
◇ Battery Ring have two rings, inner and outer, you can change colors and width of both rings. so try different combinations and make your camera lens amazing.
Battery Ring require system overlay permission to draw energy ring on screen. App do not have any features those require running app access, like hiding energy ring when app is on fullscreen, and this also helps to restrict Battery Ring service to 0% load on CPU.
Hence Battery Ring works silently without much RAM usage, and when you lock the phone, Battery Ring service becomes idle, meaning it doesn't read changes in battery level when the screen is off.
You won't believe how cool it is until you try it yourself!

Thank you.
So before upgrading to the Nord N105G I had a OnePlus 6T, which was a very reliable phone. I had it since launch, and I got very used to the behavior of the ambient display.
I didn't have any of those new-fangled features enabled like Smart Lock or Face Unlock, but I did use the fingerprint scanner but that's neither here nor there.
The display behavior I expect is that a single-tap will turn on the display (from completely off) to the black ambient display with the clock on it. Double tap to wake works just fine, but single tap does not.
Also possibly related: On the 6T I could use quick gestures to launch the flashlight etc from either a display-off state or the ambient display. However, on the Nord, quick gestures do not work on the ambient display - they can only be triggered when the display is fully off. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
Also, I'm curious. If I use Titanium Backup (rooted) to back up the old Ambient Display app from the OP6T and then restore it to the new phone I wonder if they'd play nice. Might fiddle a bit...
No.
This isn't the same phone by a long shot and the display is one of those big changes.
Ambient display and it's features are limited to oled (and derivatives) screens.
At most, you'd be lucky if the app even registers.

I totally get what you're saying, and you seem knowledgeable, so you're likely right. However, other than the quirks I've described the Ambient display works exactly the same as it did on the OP6T.
For example, Plus Beat still works even though it hasn't been supported since shortly after the release of the 6t. It was designed for an OLED display as a replacement for a standard notification LED (Lighting up a few pixels on an OLED screen IS essentially a notification LED). Plus Beat will wake the N105G's ambient display and display the exact same notification info; obviously its lighting up the entire display to do this, but whatever foundation was originally laid to wake the ambient display doesn't seem to have changed.
So, when I find the time to flash the newest TWRP and make a backup, I will fiddle with it anyway, because contrary to your statement, I think the OP6T ambient display app will replace the N105G's app just fine. Whether the native Android settings will hook into it functionally or not is a whole different beast.
Ambient Display is useless for IPS screens. I use Glimpse Notifications, it normally turns on the screen and a bunch of settings

I don't understand why you'd prefer lighting the lock screen with Glimpse Notifications when Plus Beat still functions as a notification LED (with info) on the black background ambient display. It's not true black obviously because it's not an OLED display, but it's pretty close.
