I was struggling with the edge notification not working. I tried all the solutions in the videos/sites but they didn't work for me. Anyway I found a solution i though I'd share since i haven't seen anyone mention it.
Basically go check your developer options and make sure you haven't disabled animations scale completely. Make it at least 0.5 and edge notifications scale will work.
I always use to disabled animations and this is the first app well sys app that seems to need it enabled to function.
Anyway thought I'd share that little something. Peace [emoji111]️
Thanks man!
Thanks for the tip!!

i disabled developer options and put it to 0.5 and i still only receive edge lighting for only text messages. not for the other notifications i've selected
Hello. If you want edge lighting notifications for all apps, here is app which support it even with custom colors. It works by transforming old style notifications, to new style, so it shows edge lighting even with AOD. Give it a try.

Hello. Yes, it works with screen on and off. It works by grabbing old style notification, parse data end send new style, edge like notification so it uses samsung native notifications. It looks just like someone is calling you.
Still dont work.

Does anyone know how to get edge lighting working on Amy other messaging app besides the stock Samsung messaging application?
If be most thankful.

The messaging app that you want to work with edge lighting, does it not show up in the list of apps that you want notifications for edge lighting? It's not limited to stock or Samsung apps. Or do you have the app enabled & the edge notification doesn't work for it?

Go to edge light settings. Open allowed apps tab. Find your app there.
Slightly off topic, does edge lighting even work properly with screen off?

Just wanted to mention that I had the same results with the Verizon messaging app. That and I wasn't getting half of the notifications that I should have been getting. I like the app, but ended up going with the samsung message app instead. It works better for notifications and edge lighting.

Ah shucks.. That bites.. Lol.. Well, at least I know it's not anything I'm doing wrong.. I have been using the stock app, but I send a lot of pictures, and the stock one is terrible for sending pictures, at least on mine with its size restraints.. I can only send a single picture at a time..
But yes the stock one works flawlessly in my experience so far (save, sending pictures)... Lol

In the edge settings, look for advance setting. Make the width to wide. On defaultit can narrow that might be the cause of no lighting. You can different colors too.
The edge lightning also work with third party apps (like e.g. whatsapp or telegram) while screen is off. But only when you activate pop-up notifications into that apps. I think these third party apps using a different notification management that don't support the edge lightning trigger

wish facebook messanger would work with edge lighting.. i see snapchat works fine idk why fb messanger wont i dont like stock messanger tho
At beginning i also was annoyed because it don't work with third party apps.
But with screen on it works pretty good and now these ugly heads up notifications are beautiful small notifications while screen is on.
And while screen off, I would see the edge lightning only when I have the phone in front of me (e.g. on table)
Because it's only lightning a few seconds. That's why we have the led. Much more useful.
And as visual notification I have enabled "flash notification" in:
Settings - accessibility - hearing where it use the camera flash for notifications from all apps. That works great and you also can see it if you have your phone into your pocket.

Hi to all,
Huawei have very bad AOD, it doesn't have any information only time. I found this AOD that have so much settings and very, very, useful.
- AOD (time, calendar, weather),
- Notification (when you get messages on som application like Viber it shows Viber icon, you can touch icon and read message on AOD without unlock it),
- Blacklist app - app you dont want to show on AOD,
- Duble tap to wake, swipe up for camera and etc...,
- Edge lights for notifications,
- Background for wallpaper,
- Adaptive mod,
- Font style,
- Music Controls,
- Automatic move clock,
- And many more settings...
Name of app: Allways on Amoled Edge Light

* I havent test batter drain of this application.
p.s. this is not my application i just found it. All the best, enjoy
Hmm... Looks pretty sweet. I will definitely give it a try. It is odd that the Huawei features are so... thin. I mean, why wouldn't they at least give you the ability to toggle notification icons for just a few common apps?
I tried this and the battery drain is high even with just the digital clock on.
Yeah, I said the same in the other thread. It was using 1% in around 10 - 15 minutes and I hadn't even turned on proximity detection.
I used it for half a day. But he consumes a lot of charge. I do not recommend.
Yeah I noticed my battery draining pretty fast too. However I still think this app is pretty cool and worth it, especially over the crappy native AOD... As my phone still gets through a full day usually.
Though if I think I'm gonna have a day of heavy phone use or I'm travelling or something, I'll just disable it.
I'm using this one, which is very good as well.

I think there's nothing which can be done about battery, whatever app you use it will always drain something.

It does if you configure it properly. And yeah, there were problems with notifications showing up on the M20 Pro (and I suppose onother EMUI 9 phones as well), but they have been fixed in the meantime.
Must admit I just use it during the day and when I put my phone on the wireless charging pad...just like all other aod apps, it just consumes too much battery to be taken in consideration for constant use (the dev himself doesn't advise to use it this way either). I guess devs can't do nothing about it, it's just the way it is with aod.

Built in AOD consumes very little power but a third party app version doesn't have elevated system privileges so it's going to eat battery like crazy to keep itself open and running.
It's similar to why built in SMS uses very little power but an app like Facebook Messenger is a notorious battery hog.
Im used to the led light on my previous samsung phones. The s10 doesn't have one but people were asking samsung to implement the camera cut out light, others made apps and one that was interesting that was the AOD would activate only when there was a notification to open.
As im looking to switch to the s10, are there news on the implementation of the notification light or new apps? Do the current apps work well?
Thank you!
If you're only looking for an LED notification, Samsung has updated the Edge Lighting + settings within the Good Lock app to create an notification ring to display around the camera cut out. I have it set on my phone and it performs exactly to my liking.

I have read and seen videos on it when it was released but it only worked for a few seconds when the notification showed up and didn't keep "blinking" like the led/until you seen or open the notification. Its still like that right?
I'm not 100% sure about that. I rarely see my notifications right away and generally check my phone when I get back to my desk when at work.
Holey Light on the play store...
I have read that holey lights uses quite a bit of battery, i wanted something that didn't use as much.
There was this AOD app that would only show when there was a notification but i don't know how well it works

Hi all,
I'm starting to give up hope on making the Edge Lighting work as a notification with AOD Always On (and not installing third-party apps).
I just want to go into Samsung's Edge Lighting Menu, select Google's Messages app, or Facebook Messenger, or Instagram, create a color, and have it work when the screen is off and AOD is on. Why is this so difficult?
Am I missing something? Why would Samsung create the Edge Lighting to work ONLY with their Messages app and not a single other app on the Play Store?
Does anyone know of a decent fix? I tried the Glimpse trick, but it only Edge Lights up one color (whatever is chosen for Glimpse), and the little popup at the top of the AOD is a Glimpse Icon, not the real notification (ex. "App Icon: Sender: Message Content"). I think this would work great, and very simply, as it's essentially just forcing a screen wake for selected apps, which is what Edge needs to work, apparently, but it's own popup bubble and Edge color is useless right now.
And I've tried the "Edge Lighting Fix For All Apps" App, but it's still pretty convoluted for setup and actually spells out each app in the notification popup (ex. "Instagram: Sender: Message Content") rather than the IG Icon and then the content. It's the best we've got right now, but it's still sad Samsung can't make this work by now (how many phones with edge screens have there been now?)
Anyone have other workarounds for this? Thanks in advance, it's driving me nuts.:silly:
I know you don't want to use a 3rd party app, but the aodNotify app will do just what you're looking for and it is developed from a user right here on XDA. It's got a low profile so battery life isn't affected much at all. You can get it on the play store. I highly recommend it as it doesn't look like Samsung is gonna do anything.

I've tried that, but it's using a knockoff version of edge light that looks like junk, to be blunt. Sammy's is smoother and I want that to be the Edge Light in use.
Also, no customizing app colors.
I use it with the Edge lighting plus app, it works well for me. Good luck on your quest!
not every app works with edge notif's, matter of fact, it seems that very few do. go to the galaxy store and download "good lock", it allows you to configure the edge notif's and its directly from samsung. Not third party. It also allows you to customize the s**t out of the statusbar, bottom icons etc etc. It gives root access to mods that no other app has access to
Apparently, my Edge Lighting on my S10 works for 2 of the 3 apps I selected: Whatsapp, Samsung Messages work fine, Samsung Email (v6.1.12) does not show Edge Lighting on my S10. I enables all notifications for Samsung Email, but not luck. Pretty annoying. Anyone experiencing this too?
Hello, I was using the holey light app on my S10.
I understand that holey light no longer works on Android 11.
I just got an S21 Ultra.
Which app (free or paid) can do the same?
I want a permanent black screen (even on a new notification, no AOD, no clock) with only the edge of the camera illuminated.
If possible the application using as little battery as possible.
Thank you all.

Are they the same? I think they are different
I don't want the aod to show up when a notification comes in, or the aod to be a black screen (I believe that was the trick with holey light).
Are you sure that aodnotify can display a totally black screen (no aod no clock) just the light notification and that it only disappears if I erase it or read it
