Any Minimal AOD screen? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi folks,
I need a minimal AOD screen that does not show the galaxy sky as well as white star dots.
Only shows time, date, battery and notification icons.
What AOD screen are you using please?

Just choose a non-live image. I did and my AOD is black except for the clock, date, and notifications.

...

Yep, the stars and sky are part of Samsung's third category of Android background called "Infinity Wallpaper".
(besides the regular and "live" backgrounds)
Just disable it, or use the static versions available, and you should be fine.

Ok, long press on an empty spot on desktop. It brings up the wallpaper theme and widget selections
Then select wallpaper. At the top click on my wallpaper/view all
Pick a wallpaper that doesn't have the play icon on the top right . Example from my note, default 1 is an infinity wallpaper, default 6 is the same without the infinity stuff.
If you select a wallpaper without the infinity then your AOD will be minimal and not have stars and what not
Hope that helps

Thank you so much. I got it.
That means there is no way to turn off stars and sky on the AOD screen while having it on the homescreen, right?

As far as I can tell, you are correct. I tried to change the AOD after I set the wallpaper to an infinity one, and could not seem to get rid of the stars. My only other idea would be to separate the wallpaper out, but not sure how to do that.

Settings Wallpapers and themes VIEW ALL (scroll down)
For the first infinity background, 5 and 6 are the static home and lock screen versions respectively.
For the second one, 7 and 8 are the static home and lock screen versions respectively.
You should be able to figure out the rest.

widget locker.

didn't know where to put this. I've seen widget locker posted on other forums but not on the Fascinate. For those that want a cool lock screen, check this app out.
It allows a custom wallpaper for the lock screen, plus it can change your lock mechanism from Iphone to HTC sense and 6 others. Allows access to full notification bar,and you can add shortcuts and a slider for anything.
I'm attaching a pic of my phone. I don't know how to do a perfect screengrab like i see others do, so i'll take a pic.
For screen captures you want to download drocap from market

This is a live wallpaper which is displaying a static image and can show different images for lock screen and so on.

thanks for the help
so is there not just a simple way to do it from the phone without the need to install another app?
seems very strange
It really depend on the framework implementation. Samsung and sony are allowing different wallpapers ... motorola and google vanilla don't.

Apex launcher, disable widget padding in advanced settings.
has anyone tried contacting devs of the nova launcher?
perhaps they do not even realize that there is an issue with it..

Nova settings, disable or hide the dock, then run watch styler as a widget.
My watch styler works perfectly full screen using Nova Prime/Fomey Null rom (I did NOT install the full system UI).

Not perfect, although very close to it
You will notice a slight gap surrounding the page.. its called widget padding. Sadly novalauncher does not offer a option to disable/modify this settings..
It is barely noticeable, the only time I noticed it was when a user actually pointed it out with a screenshot..

No simply add the watchstyler widget to the homescreen, you may have to resize it.. but beside that you should be in the clear.

[KWGT] Pixel Search and Weather Widget

For those who prefer custom Launchers.
I prefer to use Nova instead of Pixel Launcher but persistent Nova search bar is too small on my opinion and doesn't update weather correctly. So I made my own Pixel styled search widget for KWGT.
Widget is fully customizable so you can set it up as you want including all its layers, colour etc.
KWGT Kustom Widget Pro Key is required to load preset!
Download preset from Google Drive
Also if you have Tasker you can launch Google Now Weather using this task:
Code:
Action android.intent.action.VIEW
Cat Default
Data dynact://velour/weather/ProxyActivity
Package com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
Class com.google.android.apps.gsa.velour.DynamicActivityTrampoline

You need to install KWGT and move Google_Pixel_Search_Widget.kwgt into Kustom/widgets folder. Then choose KWGT4x1 widget from your widgets gallery and place it to the screen > "click to setup..." (it opens KWGT app) > Exported tab > Google Pixel Search Widget. That's all.

Ofc you're right. I missed that point - will add requirements.
UPD
Several cosmetic improvements.
How do I get mine to display like yours? Mine doesn't sit right at the side of the screen, and doesn't extend as far to the right.

Try to resize it right after placing into home screen. And also set Layer > Scale to 70.
Was an issue with sizing settings from within the KWGT app settings. Changed to auto resizing and it all looks perfect now.

By default it is set to launch Google News & Weather. So you should install this app or set TOUCH to launch another app, shortcut etc..

I love the widget but other weather on widget and other on the app

You can always choose another weather source or try different apps, shortcuts etc. for launching.
I'm using weather.com as a source and google now weather.
Can you please post a link to the wallpaper and icon packs that you used?
This is great!
Do you have any idea how to get it to open a Google search overlay like the Nova widget can?
I googled around and it said to use activity - Google - gsa.queryentry.queryentryactivity which comes close. It opens the overlay but also the app. I would love to faithfully reproduce the native widget so I can use a better weather source. Thanks!
Icon pack name?

Lockscreen wallpaper rotation, create your own multi-pack?

I love the default arrangement on the S10 with a different lockscreen wallpaper each time you turn the screen on, but there does not seem to be a way to use your own collection of wallpapers in this fashion. I've seen suggestions about using a 3rd party app but the mechanism is already built into the phone. In the Samsung Themes app it refers to the OEM wallpaper rotation as a "multi-pack." Has anyone figured out how to make our own multi pack that can be applied as the lockscreen wallpaper?
If love to know this too.

Yes, but rather than say "I read somewhere that..." or by explaining what I had read and needlessly waited for a reply that would most definitely be "where's your source?" I figured it was just more efficient to reply with just the article.
But, there is obviously a chance this will be a feature in the future. I wish I could use this feature on my homescreen as well.

Hello,
Actually, there is a way with a 3rd party app named "4K Wallpapers". You just need to install it from Google Play (free) and download one image from their app (important - for the app to auto-create a folder). Download the S10 wallpapers and move them in folder "/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/UHD Wallpapers". After that go to "Settings" > "Auto Wallpaper Changer Settings" > Set the condition to "Change On Phone Unlock" and tap "Set Wallpaper".
The change is smooth and wallpapers keep their quality.
Good luck,
Ionut Andrei Paraschiv
Nearly works, unfortunately there is no "set wallpaper" option. I only see "Home screen" or "Home screen and lock screen". There is no option for just the lock screen which is what I want.
