UPDATE: there is an alternative app that let you change the color mode, but you need root.
If you're interested, this is the xda thread, and the dev is @emandt. This is the only way I've found of having a not saturated color mode if you don't have a touchwiz rom, like Cyanogenmod.
< Tutorial >
1 - Join this community
2 - Once you have access buy the app from the store.
3 - Open the app and grant superuser permissions. The app might closes (or gives you NO ROOT error) but don't worry, just try to open the app some times until it opens.
4 - Change the Preset to Natural Color or Film Mode and enable Start at boot. That's all.
-----------------------------
Hello I found a secret Display Mode hidden in a system setting, to use it you need the app 'Nova Launcher' or 'More Shorcuts' and you don't need root. This hidden Display Mode isn't saturated nor yellowish
HOW TO GET THIS HIDDEN DISPLAY MODE:
Using Nova Launcher:
1. Go to your nova launcher homescreen, tap and hold anywhehere on screen.
2. Choose Widgets, then choose the one named 'Activities', which is a Nova Launcher's widget.
3. Now tap on Settings, then tap or hold ModePreviewTablet (".ModePreview" on 6.0.1) . (Note: if you tap you create a shorcut, if you hold you use that setting without creating a shorcut).
4. Choose a different option than the one is selected, then tap on the first one (Adapt Display), finally hit OK.
'Nova Launcher', link to Play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
Using 'More Shorcuts' app:
1. Open the app.
2. Choose 'Activity'.
3. Hit Settings.
4. Tap on ModePreviewTablet, write a name for the shortcut and Accept. Or just click the right Blue arrow and Launch the Activity.
5. Once you have open it, choose a mode that is not already selected, then tap on the first option (Adapt Display) and hit OK.

Note: Although the device used on the video is a Galaxy S6 this method works on other devices as well.
------------------
How to apply this Display Mode on boot using Tasker (No root required):
http://youtu.be/UjKEC2AcMhc
- After you make that tasker profile when you boot your phone and unlock screen you have to wait some seconds and the Display Mode menu will appear, choose an option that is not selected, then tap on the first one (Adapt Display) and finally click ok (OR double tap the Adapt display option twice).

If you have other phone and this works for you please leave a comment with your device name.
Not Working / Not sure if working:
- Note 3 NEO (kitkat 4.4.2)
- Galaxy S4 (kitkat 4.4.2)
(*)
A user reported that this secret mode works on Note 4 kitkat too, but using a slightly different method:
Sokudoningyou said:
It looks like it works on Note 4 with KitKat, though I had to do it a little differently than the OP's directions in Nova. This may also be because I haven't updated to the newest MateriNova update.
Bring up the "Add to Home screen" menu (press and hold on a blank area of the screen)
Go to Shortcuts
Activities
Scroll down to Settings (system settings, not Nova)
ModePreview (NOT ModePreviewTablet)
Tap, and set a shortcut
Now, the shortcut sends you to the display settings, only everything is grayed out except for Adaptive Display. (The other three options: AMOLED cinema, AMOLED photo, and Basic.) I unchecked Adaptive Display, then re-checked it, to make sure it actually did change, then saved.

NOTES:
- This method was tested under Android 5.0.1 on an exynos Note 4 (SM-N910C), it should work on any Note 4 as well as other Similar devices (other Samsung devices), but I'm not 100% sure. You can try, you won't break anything, haha.
- If 'ModePreviewTablet' doesn't work, try 'ModePreview'.
- This 'secret' Display mode has the same name as the default one but it's different.
- To use default display mode again just change it in Display, in Settings app.
- Display mode may reset to default one if you open Videos app.
Also this Display Mode resets when you power off your phone, so should create a Shorcut using either MoreShorcuts or Nova Launcher's widget.
- I found this Activity in Tasker, but I dont know how can I launch it every time I power on my device, if you know how to do it tell me please.

Hello, to use this color mode you just have to use a widget named Activities (you need Nova launcher for that), then choose Settings and tap (or hold) on an option named ModePreviewTablet, then choose the first option (Adapt Display) and click OK, you will notice that the colors are less saturated and that screen is not as yellowish as with Basic or AMOLED Photo Mode. If you choose first option, click OK, and nothing happens, just try again but this time click on the second option and then on the first one, finally click OK.

NOTE: This 'secret' color mode has the same name as the default color mode but it's different.
NOTE2: To use default color mode again just change it in Display, in Settings app.

Me too, the screen is much less saturated in this mode, now looks more real. Samsung should have set this Display mode by default.

I don't know about saturation, but white is much brighter using adaptive from newmodepreview.
comparing it to modepreview and modepreviewtablet makes them seem yellow.

That's because of the contrast and saturation, which are increased in default Adaptative Display mode.

• Some Screenshots •
---------------------
• The new update brings the Honami UI (Like the Xperia Z1) ,Faster ,Smoother and cool !
• New Themes including the ability to download new themes via Sony Select

Phone : No Blue LED color during calls after update
when you lock the screen and phone rings , the "Reply with message" is half covered with the navigation bar (Hope it'll be fixed soon)
• Clock ,Calendar and Calculator
• Settings app
it lacks the X-Reality only the Bravia Engine 2
• Finaly ,the Camera
It came with the Xperia Z1 Camera app style ,but it lacks many modes like (Info Eye ,Timeshift mode ,Social Cast mode)
but you can still download some modes via Sony Select (like AR effects ,Motion Shot ,Motiongraph ,, hope that Sony bring the missing modes to our XZR)
• Benchmarks •
--------------
Screenshots by @janito24
Original Thread
• Battery Life Test •
------------------
-These tests depends on my own usage ,so it may differ depends on everyone's usage-
• Average Usage •
it lasts for 1 Day and 13 Hours with average usage
~4:30 Hrs Talk Time
~23 Hrs Wi-Fi On
~3 Hrs Screen On (Chatting ,Browsing and downloading)
• Heavy Usage •
it lasts for 10 Hours with continuous heavy usage on medium brightness with the auto enabled
~5 Hrs Screen On (Chatting and Browsing)
~8 Hrs Wi-Fi On (using it even when the screen is off)
~2 Hrs Talk Time
• Bugs/Annoyances •
--------------------
• 500 Millisecond delay between each shot using 9+ Megapixel
• When launching Camera via shutter button ,it plays a start up sound and no option to disable it
• Burst Mode is slower than the previous 4.2.2 (due to the lack of resolution option for the burst mode)
• When installing APK , the title of the app is in a wrong alignment - Screenshot
• Final Words •
-------------
The 4.2.2 is a little stable than the newer one (till now)
but still the 4.3 Update is Recommended !
it brings a lot of new settings with the newest Sony Interface ,and i hope that Sony brings a fix for those annoying things in 4.3
but after all.. it's GREAT !
Thanks for the great review!!
Just want to add my view on the camera after a quick test. Regarding the resolution change, it is still available, but only under the "Manual" mode and any change only applies to the Manual mode too. IMO I really don't like the new updated camera, the Superior auto mode just seems less superior to me.
By default, it uses 9M (16:9) resolution. For my usage, I always save images to external SD card, With resolution set at 9M, there is little over half second delay (even the screen freezes up) before you can take the next shot. If change to 5M in manual mode, there is virtually no delay at all. I tried to switch saving to internal memory and it's not any better either. Compare to the previous 2.67 rom, even during saving picture taken at 9M resolution, the screen does not freeze up and you can still take the next shot right away.
For all the test shots I took, I find Manual mode works better in most cases compared to Auto. One example is when I try focus on a roof through a window, the manual mode (without any scene selection, no HDR) will take a perfectly focused picture (little under exposed due to the lighting). The Superior Auto however, extremely difficult to get a good focus the roof, instead it will focus on the window screen most of the time. I tried to touch different spot and result is more or less the same.
Above are just what I found based on my setting and maybe works better for others. I sure do hope they can come up with a patch to fix some of the small bugs. Oh forgot to mention, when launch the camera using the shutter button, it plays a start up sound just like how typical Sony camera does when turn on the power. I can't find a setting to turn it off.
Any camera improvement with the new software?

What problem was faced by you?
I've only had my ZR for a week, but I also see the BT problem.
The ZR pairs & connects to my car's hands-free set, but on incoming calls the phone behaves as if it is not connected - the phone rings itself and no audio come through the BT set.
It's definitely connected because if you hit the "Answer call" button on the BT set, it starts the voice-dialing system (which is what would happen if you were not trying to answer a call).
There's several threads on the Sony forums about this,
Sorry - I'm not allowed to paste a link as I don't have enough posts here yet.

Just tried couple of times with phone screen off and the icon still shows up normal. I still don't see that black bar at the bottom like the screen shot you posted.
I did the update via PC companion and it's a US customized version not sure if this is any different. Also, I don't have any gesture or pin lock for the phone. just simple swipe up and down unlock. You can try remove those lock as there might be a glitch caused by those interface?

so it's just matter of time i'm sure
Screenshots : 1 , 2
anyway i managed to download both themes & all cam apps from playstore ,except timeshift wich is not workn
I just updated using the companion software (in the US). So far everything works as expected but hate hate HATE the new white themed UI. Also Sony Select is not working for me either

As we all know the battery life is a lot batter in Galaxy S5 but still some one said that "A HUMAN IS NEVER SATISFIED." We like to get a much as possible from what we have... I am one of them.
So I put up a thread giving step by step guide to set up the device the best way possible.
Before we begin these are my latest screen shots of battery stats. THESE ARE AFTER WATCHING VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE, MY KIDS PLAYED GAMES IN KIDS MOD, SYNC ON, MOBILE DATA AND WIFI ON. AND I STILL HAVE 40% LEFT.

1. Flash the ROM that you would like to use.
2. After flashing the rom, reboot the phone and set it up.
3. FOR MM I use BOEFFLA KERNEL
Latest Boeffla Kernel uses "ANYKERNEL METHOD" So Please Flash stock MM kernel (THANKS TO @alexndr first before flashing Boeffla Kernel THANKS TO @Lord Boeffla.

4. Go to Settings>more networks>DISABLE "Nearby device scanning". Also uncheck NFC services in settings.
5. If you are not using location services all the time than you can do the following as well and you can enable the location services whenever you need them.
Go to GOOGLE SETTINGS APP>Location> UNCHECK "Access Location"
google settings app>maps & lattitude. UNCHECK "report from this device"
6. Install SYSTEM TUNER PRO with GREEN ICON old version. There are other apps that can do the same thing so you guys can use any other apps that supports disabling services. I use this one because of additional features.
This is the link for the latest version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw.pro
7. Follow the guide in my video. The link is below: It will remove useless wakelocks from apps like google wallet, google talk, google plus, IF YOU ARE NOT USING THEM.

I will update the video when I am little bit free from my job.

Thread with DISCLAIMER : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357417 Thanks to SKIPJACKS
8. Install Greenify and Greenify Donation. Links are below:
You need to install XPOSED FRAMEWORK for the Donation app to work.
Greenify: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
Greenify Donation: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify.pro
Xposed Framework: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327541
9. Greenify all user apps and some of the system apps. To greenify the system we dont need xposed framework anymore starting from latest BETA versions.
10. Disable double tap home button for SVOICE. If you are not using it. It will give good responsiveness with home button.
11. Go to setting>MORE> DISABLE NFC Services.
12. Open up system tuner pro.
Go to build prop>presets
TICK following:
Power saver (It will give good standby battery)
There are a lot more tweaks available that you can use as well.
And Reboot.
13. In the new greenify app there is an option to CUT the connection of the app that is waking up the services.
Now for example,
I am using swift key keyboard not the android keyboard that comes with the rom, but android keyboard also wakes up GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES and keeps it running, so I cut the wake-up path. So now android keyboard will not wake-up GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES.
SO you need to find out which apps are waking-up the system apps and cut the wake-up paths IF THE APP IS NOT IMPORTANT.
14. Disable or reduce animations from DEVELOPERS SETTING. It will give faster response at cost of less animations.
15. Use Titanium Backup and uninstall or freeze the apps that you are not using. Like : Email, ANT service, Samsung Keyboard Etc.
16. Go to Setting>Controls and Disable any of the control features that we are not using. It will reduce the sensors' usage.
17. Download and install Xorware 2G/3G/4G Swticher and Interface Pro.
It automates the network mode while screen is off or on. When screen is off it will switch the network to 2G or anything you would like to be. YOU CAN COMPLETELY CUSTIMISE THE OPERATION BASED ON YOUR NEEDS.
Xorware 2G/3G/4G Switcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xorware.network.s2g3g.xposed.switcher
Xorware 2G/3G/4G Interface RPO : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xorware.network.s2g3g.settings
It is an xposed Module which requires xposed framework.
18. Fix for the external SD card write permissions.
1. Use Root Explorer
2. Go to System > etc > permissions
3. Open file named "platform.xml" with editing tool
4. find a line "name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >"
5. Add line <group gid="sdcard_all" /> after <group gid="sdcard_rw" />
6. Save it and exit than reboot the phone.
OR
Download XPOSED MODULE for it.
After doing all of these, I am able to achieve around 5Hours screen on time with HEAVY to normal use with total time of around 25 to 28 hours minimum.
Brightness : 10 to 30% all times
Either wifi or mobile data ON all times except after 10PM till 5AM.
CREDIT goes to all of the developers of ROM, MODs, and APPs...
Super tutorial, gonna use it many thnx

You can't use greenify (xposed settings) with ART.
Xposed isn't compatible with ART (Unless it's changed since i last looked?)
Some good tips in there though!
@superleeds27 has a point there, xposed is not compactible with ART :/

Xposed Framework is an application which is required to run several other apps. It allows third party applications to work on OS without needs to flash the ZIP files via CWM/TWRP or any kind of recovery, which inturn gives more controls and less hassle for the people like me who love to keep modifying the system. further more explanation can be found here in the link.

try disabling services as shown in the videos. and check the batterbatterystats for more details what is consuming so much of the battery. Currently I am able to go around 5 hours with 50% wifi and 50%mobile data. still doing tests on some kernels.
Great tips!

I've heard that enabled NFC does not have any impact on battery life. Is it true?

by activating ART, your phone will process the files and applications more faster than dalvik. for example: it will open the game or any other application more faster than dalvik or it will be more smoother to operate.
Here is a video for example.

I'm sorry, but what's the point in turning off NFC? It only activates when you use it...

Simple thing if we are not using it than batter to disable it. it is just one tap away... If someone doesnt want to disable than it is up to them. It just drains approx 0.5% and that is also only while the screen is ON. it is completely off when the screen is off...

Notes from developer: (some)
Please double clear data before the first flash into MIUI8! This would break default theme - you can download new theme! Based on the Polish version of MIUI production! No family bucket millet, millet ad! The ROM has cracked official BL lock!
Starting from the development ROM version 6.1.14, the official phone BootLoader has encryption that would have BootLoader lock. But, this ROM doesnot contain BL lock
All ROM I have done are not locked, if your device BL is not locked, you can flash this ROM
For unlock, jump to other threads
If you opened my MI - Cloud Services - Find phone, please change before flash, or boot will prompt the device is locked!
Activation need to enter the current password millet account, which is the official MI process!

Thanks for the reply and the ROM but i'm having some problems:
1. No key board, only speech to text
2. Only Chinese and English
3.A lot of Chinese bloatware
Please help
Thanks for this ROM. I installed it today so I haven't got much to say but here's a small review (kinda):
1. Firstly I tried to install micro Gapps but there were no normal keyboard, there was only option - speech recognition so I downloaded AROMA installer and configured Gapps as I like: surely I installed Google keyboard so I could proceed and also changed some stock apps to google apps (camera, dialer, gallery, google pixel launcher). PS. ROM has only english and chinese langs.
2. As always, google play services app crashes until all permissions are given to it.
3. There are some chinese apps that can't be uninstalled by default app manager but they can be easily disabled.
4. ROM has been quite stable for the day duration, location and GPS are working.
5. What's not working for me (might be different from others because of Gappse I installed): live lock screen, clean notifications/recent apps by shaking features, accidental wake-up prevention, also there are some rows with @ and numbers after it which lead to settings app crash. Added: Facebook messenger constantly crashes, APN settings hang.
In total, ROM is stable and fast, definetely a daily driver. Would be nice to have some fixes and it would be a really great ROM! Also I can provide screenshots if needed.
Would be great to know if root is avalaible and how the battery life is. Thx

This ROM is rooted, root menu is available from developer options menu. Battery life depends on profile that is used (from battery saving mode to performance) but if balanced mode is considered, I would say battery life is just a little bit lesser that in MIUI.

Keyboard, install a google keyboard or any keyboard from Play Store. Else, download APK in PC, transfer to the device and install.
Languages - not aware. Probably, removed.
Bloatware - was not expected. But, it was unofficial CM version from Chinese devs, so - it has come in.

APN issue. After entering APNs menu it just hangs and after short period of time crashes and phone reenables SIM cards.
Issue with @random_numbers tapping which leads to Settings crash.
It's very dissapointing for me that I can't add an APN since I have to configure it manually. I haven't tried navigation in google maps yet but I bet they're allright. Will find it out tomorrow.
Unfortunately, navigation didn't work or me. All permissions are given to the app but navigation won't start. Switching to AOSP 7.0 for now, not because of navigation but because of APN issue.

Similar to this or a shine effect only around camera or tens of other styles can be used to indicate an event such as charging, music playing or a notification to help you to know even who texted you just by a glance far from your phone.
some of you may know this app before and some may had struggled with it in its bad moment with a broken version but it did not stop improving and all got fixed and many more feature added.
Because this app has tons of options to customize your phone, even wallpapers, I will start by writing instructions for how to enable the basic options of the feature which this thread is about:
How To:
1- Search google play "AOE" or "Always On Edge" and install this ~6MB App
2- Enter section #1 "Main Settings"
choose if you want the LED effect to be shown within System Ambient Display or a separated screen
3- enable accessibility services and give required permissions
4- Go back and enter section #2 "App settings"
for when to light choose "when a notification comes" and/or charging lighting as you like
5- scroll to bottom and save.
6- Enter enabled apps section and make sure the app you will test with is enabled
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
Please give the app some time only once and then you will not need to even open it:
After testing please discover all sections the app can do what ever you need for such feature
like at the same place of step 4 you can enable Mixer which show all current notifications colors
and Reminder which repeat lighting every X seconds and let other options you may like.
in lighting settings section you can customize the general style of lighting.
the app is indeed complicated due to variety of options and I'm always working on improving it.
Battery Drain:
I use it personally for notifications only, all apps, while screen is on and off, reminder for 5 seconds every 5 seconds limited to 30 repeat and I got 100s of emails and messages and the app is not even on system battery use list. but in general this app can be used with no noticeable difference in battery usage and it can drain your battery in few hours. it depends on the options you choose, there are a lot of options to minimize battery consuming it basically depends on lighting time and enabled widgets.
in worst cases there is options to prevent the app from working if device is not charging and other 10s of options so you can set when the app should not light as when the app should light.
App brief description:
AOE contain a lot of features and options and all can be customized as you like, here is some of the main features:
Edge lighting can also be customized for charging, music, wallpaper and many other events
It can be customized to work in a highly flexible way with AOD clock or independently, or even both like Tap to Light feature.
Lighting can be around all screen or around front camera or both with many other lighting place options like LED style with variety of animations.
You can use it to show lighting effects for many events like notifications including missed calls of course, charging, fully charged, screen lock, screen unlock, headset plugged, listening to music ,
ongoing or outgoing calls, recent apps menu and flash after unlock.
You can customize lighting color, style, effect and place for each event, each app, each contact name or even each chat group.
Notifications light has more useful additional features like Reminder which the lighting will be repeated every period you choose and you can even choose to make a sound alert for notification reminder,
and Mixer which will iterate through all current notifications colors..
Brightness can be adjusted regardless of the lighting is independent or with Always On Display, on top of that you can set high brightness for lights and low brighting for AOD/clock widgets.
It has many options to restrict its job like prevent the app from lighting if device is charging, not charging, not in landscape mode, low battery, sleep time or to follow Do Not Disturb mode.
with a block list to prevent it from working for someone
AOE also support lighting in all screen states, turned off or turned on, horizontal or vertical.

If you set lighting method with Ambient display or if you do not like the clock set it with Ambient display invisible then the app will function better generally and this will be solved.

For independent lightinh I'm not sure about this phone but on most phones it is just about touching the right place and it will be helpful to enable app settings -> how to close -> fingerprint icon to guide you where to touch. I tested this on samsung and xiaomi a single touch is enough to unlock as quick as if this app is not installed I hope you give it a try

I love my Mi 11 Ultra. It's a fantastic device and the rear screen adds a fun element to a seriously, beastly phone — but I found it ridiculous that Xiaomi completely cut off access to any other apps besides their own when it comes to allowing notifications on the rear screen. No more! With some inspiration from GuyWithRootedPhone and his Mirror2RearUltra app, I created my own app that allows you to select any app on your Mi 11 Ultra to send notifications to the rear screen.

Update 3.6: Android 13
Hey everyone! I apologize for the delay in updates, but I've been running another ROM and just busy with life. I came back to the newest version of MIUI to find the app wasn't starting the service and investigated. Many of you may have had the issue of the service never seeming to start. The issue stems from Android 13 automatically denying the posting of app notifications without explicit user consent. Being able to show a notification for the service is vital for Rear Notifier's function. To remedy this issue, I've added an additional required prompt to use the app so there's no confusion. From my testing thus far, everything seems to be working as expected.
The update is under review to the Play Store as I type (6/14/23 1:38 PM UTC).
Thanks for your patience!
Bugs squashed:
• Android 13 notification issue resolved (service will start now)
• Fixed issue with GIFs where setting the speed didn't affect the rear screen GIF's speed
• Optimizations and improvements
Bugs/Concerns
• Whenever a notification is sent to the rear screen from this app, it will cause the default clock to disappear until the native rear display apk chooses to refresh itself. At the moment, there's no way that I'm aware of to bring back the native clock on-demand, but that's what my own implementation of the clock is for
Developed and Tested on:
Device: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra (Obviously)
ROM: Xiaomi.EU 14.09.0 Stable
Android Version: 13
MIUI Only!
Google Play Link
Feel free to send me any ideas or issues you have on different MIUI versions and I hope all my fellow Mi 11 Ultra brethren enjoy!

Future Ideas:
Since the default clock is super buggy when using this app, I was thinking about adding my own customizable clock feature in the app, but I have a lot going on right now
so that isn't feasable at the moment. When I have time, I will most likely add it to the app in the future.

My app? Just click the link that says "Google Play Link" and it'll take you right too it.
It won't let me install it. I have a xiaomi 11 ultra, obviously.

That's strange...it supports Android 12 and up and I double checked to make sure it was allowed in the Play store (of course it was). Also, I uninstalled my dev copy just to see what the Play store said and it allowed me to download it.
I'll attach the latest version that I just sent for review on the Play store minutes ago.
When you install it, and Xiaomi comes up with the "App from an unknown source", make sure to toggle on all the toggles to make it everything works properly.

Running great on Miui14, very nice app!
Thanks for creating this app. Working flawlessly on Miui 14 EU beta.
Nice apps! It will be better if you add more features like clock, weather, stopwatch/timer, control music, opening camera from rear display and more...

I wanted to have actual notifications on the rear like Xiaomi should have done, so I may as well share it with this awesome community. Good to know it's working on the newest MIUI versions

Thank you! Honestly those are great ideas. Love them! You can bet money that you'll see some/all of those features in the future. My next goal is adding an AoD clock.

In order to use the app, make sure you click the 'Start' button at the top right. You should then see a persistant notification in your notification shade. Clicking that starts the notification listening service. If you don't start the service, the app is useless. That's what the message means Try that.

Start button doesn't start and no perm notification, but I'm receiving the notifications from the apps that I selected
Hope to see you soon on Miui14 hehe and bring a new version of mirror2rear as it stopped working on Miui14 and it's super useful for gcam
Thanks again, the app is really well built and user friendly!

If the service has been started and nothing is working, then I'm not sure what's going on with your 11 Ultra. I can only help if I see some logs at this point.

That's interesting! Glad it's working though lol. Updating Mirror2Rear would be GuyWithRootedPhone's specialty, but since his code is open source, it is definitely possible to update. Thank you for the compliments though
Any chance you can open source your app?
@Chr0m3Chaos enabled all permissions and selected Whatsapp & Messages ....but still the "services" fail to start on MIUI 14 error: please start notifications services first and the "START button" beside APPS circles endlessly. Tried rebooting but still doesn't seem to work for me.
Use a link, which is not setting the region and language:
Rear Notifier (Mi 11 Ultra) - Apps on Google Play
Allow your Mi 11 Ultra's rear screen to show notifications from any app!
play.google.com
First: Great idea, i'm waiting for long for some app like these. The crappy rear screen for me never never showas any notification from apps and timeout didn't work at all.
But second: I managed to start the service and send a test notification, but didn't get some messages from apps. But i couldn't set some apps as apps list is empty, it says fetching apps and then nothing. If i type in search field (say i type telegr..), i can see app field for a very little moment and it disappears. And (but sure, thats what you stated above) the rear clock is gone till i disable and enable it in settings.
So again, great idea and great app, but seems it needs some fixing (and own clock would be great as my timer doesn't work and sometimes clock stays forever using battery ;-) )
I'm on latest xiaomi.eu weekly (A13), so maybe thats the problem yet...
Many thx for developing this app, looks promising
Great idea! Thank You!
I'm testing it and still needs some fine tunning, but looks really good.

Dang that's a weird one. If only MIUI wasn't so flakey with literally everything. I've had multiple people saying it worked great on the newest MIUI releases and a few where it's completely random bugs like that. Not sure what to say without logs though.
As for the clock — I have actually just coded a working implementation of the clock that has the same look and layout w/ the color gradients completely customizable along with a mostly-working weather screen. This will be in a vertical view pager implementation for easy access. I attached a mockup of how those will both look for most part.
I still need to code the UI for customizing the clock and weather though. Expect to see an update in the play store in a few days
