yea. so much presumption from a supposedly witty and intelligent person.
the inclusion of the three new features were oblivious to me, so i thought maybe sharing would help others get started.
obviously, internet is vast. we get all kinds of people. [emoji1]

I just wish sammy would make edge lighting useful for notifications when the screen is off, and not just for their crap bundled apps either.

What does that have to do with edge lighting...
Anyway,
Edge Lighting > Manage Notification
Select apps you want edge lighting on, it is not restricted to "crappy built in apps"
A more useful thing to say would be, ' I wish edge lighting could be customised on a per app basis and show be useful for more situations such as if screen recording flash around edge of the device red or something to show you that you are recording with your device or camera or whatever, or they could use the notch LED ring to do something like this.

Here you go

Tried Goodlock + Notistar to enable "Eclipse effect" for camera cut out. It broke deep sleep and my phone went from 50% to 0% in 3 hours with screen off. The effect only works for a few seconds with no option to set a recurring reminder. Uninstalled it, but other features in this Goodlock update are great.

Using Holey Light instead with the battery saving blink animation is a better option, noticed less than 1% per hour drain

You can activate it, but it doesn't do **** if the screen is off. Worthless as a notification.

ya i heard it won't work without aod
Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Even with aod always on, edge light set to always, edgelight+, notifications enabled. If I get a message on hangouts for example, the little icon appears on the aod screen but edge lighting does diddly. Same for the other non Samsung apps I've tried, not that there have been many I've tried thus far.
Now if I happen to have the phone unlocked and happen to be looking at hangouts and receive a message, edge lighting works as expected... but if I'm already staring at the app it kinda makes it pointless.

Awesome app, must try! Gravity Screen Off

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree
This app uses your phone's motion, gravity, and proximity sensors to automatically turn on and off your screen so that you don't have to press any keys (software or hardware).
For instance, when I put my S4 inside my pocket or holster it to my belt clip, the screen turns off automatically. When I take the phone out, the screen turns on automatically as well.
I've tried a few apps similar to this before but this one just works very well and consistently.
I already installed it on my mom's and wifey's S2s and they love it too~! Just wanted to share the goodness~
Wow it is pretty impressive! Thanks for sharing. .

No problem. I figured there must be others who will find this kind of app convenient to have around. I just love not having to press the home or power button every time I want to turn the screen on.

The author of the app said to expect a hit about 5%. I've been using it for 2 days now and I haven't noticed any difference so far. But then, I'm running on the ktoonsez kernel with -50mV, all-around.
Freekin love this app
Thanks for the heads up op! works like a charm, now I've got to get used to not pressing my power key on wake

Sweet app....I noticed I had to lower the sensitivity while my phone was in my mount while driving. The screen kept coming on.
Nice catch. Love this app.

The only time the screen turns off on me when I don't want it to is when I text and I accidentally rest one of my fingers over the proximity sensor by mistake. Otherwise, it's been good. I wish there was a time-delay option for proximity sensor to turn off the screen so an accidental finger covering up the proximity sensor doesn't turn off the screen right away.

I see. It's an extra step but you could pull down the notification menu and pause the app before gaming then turn it back on afterwards. My mom tells me that sometimes when she's watching Netflix, the screen turns off on her. I told her not to cover up the sensor but she just disabled the app.

According to GSam battery monitor, Gravity Screen Off is responsible for only 0.2% battery drain. I haven't noticed any extra drain because of this app.

Lockscreen notifications

Is there any app that adds lock screen notifications and pocket mode as Mahdi ROM has implemented?

That looks like an awesome app. But WTF is with the music they put in the promo video haha
These look ok, but they don't seem to have pocket mode as well like Mahdi rom does...
And they're not the same. The notifications don't start as icons on the right that you can slide to view.
Use Mahdi ROM, or even AOSPAL. Even the other Roms with it as well, because I don't think you will find an app with the exact look, or pocket mode at all. It's seems to be more of an Internal type of feature.

Barely any, only about 1-3% from a 100% charge to 5%.
The Gravity Screen app in the Play Store is similar but works slightly differently, you can use that if your ROM doesn't have pocket mode.

Is it possible to cherry pick the notifications and add them to cyanogenmod?
Not that I could do either of that (i've tried) just wondering is all.
I've used NILS for a while but it still has that SMS app bug where the app becomes unresponsive if using swipe to open

I know that Carbon, Paranoid Saberdroid and Mahdi ROM has it, along with lockscreen notifications. Also, note that the battery drain that Gravity Screen would show is negligible across time (most I ever saw is 5% from a 100% charge), but if you check your battery only after a short period of a few minutes it'll appear to use around 25% battery, so don't worry if it appears to use a lot in the first few minutes. Also recommend to have Wake by motion and Keep screen on by motion turned off.

Purity doesn't use it. Neither does Slim. I wish I knew how to cherry pick port it, I'd love to have it on stock/slim.

Yes it has but I've tried it and it does not catch all notifications for me. And when clicking some notifications it would stay at the lockscreen so I would have to manually unlock after pressing the notification. It worked very inconsistent for me. Worked much better when I was using the Mahdi-rom.

Thank you !
I think this topic is going to help a lot of new users.
Lots of apps that arent formated for the screen Aspect ratio.
If you full screen some apps they will cut off the sides (keft and right edges)
This happens in clash royale.
Does anybody have a list of apps that do. I noticed it cuts off edges putting it in full screen. Otherwise it's like having bezels on top and bottom anyways.
I hope app developers start making apps compatible with new screen ratio. It's like having a ferrari and driving it down a dirt road.

This is not a solution. Because some apps will stop to work and some of them will get even worst "resolution", like NFS: No Limit.
Apps must be optimized.

How do you request a feature from Samsung?

It would be nice if they could add edge lighting and notification customization options. For instance when the screen if off completely(aod on or off, dont matter) the edges will flash blue and a brief preview of a notification will appear but vanish after 2 or 3 seconds. It would be nice to change that so it stays for 5-10 seconds. Can we request a feature from Samsung?

I wish the always on display would rotate to landscape mode
It just Natural to put the phone on the wireless charger by the bedside in the landscape position as your clock but it doesn't the display rotate...it a small but stupid thing...
Its specially annoying because they pitch the wireless charger that you can the phone upright or put it in on its side ...
but the Always on display does not rotate to match.... its just dumb... samsung

OP camera ring / notification LED

All,
Has anyone noticed the green ring and dot that shows up next to the selfie cam when it's being used, like in face unlock?
If so, do you think it'll be possible to use this as a notification LED like previous OP devices? Do we know if other devices with a hole punch have that ability?
I don't have that and I'm on the kb2007 t-mobile variant

I have it on mine. I wish it was available for use as a notification. Until it is...if ever...I use the app listed below and it works great! You can make the sides, top, bottom, or all of them light up...and you can make it light up just around the selfie camera...looks great. The settings are a little wonky but once you figure it out it is really cool.

I wouldn't really call it a concern. I just don't really feel the need to have always on display on, so there's no need to spend any battery life on it regardless of how small.
Plus, I am a little concerned in the back of my mind about the long-term effects of warp charging all the time on the battery. I know they have a bunch of built-in sensors and all that jazz, but still.
