Hi I am back after very long time AlwaysOn is new trend of this year. To check time or battery no more need unlock your phone. You can try feature from LG G5, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge in your phone. This app is developing on on the Galaxy S6. AOD - Always On Display
Recommended AMOLED display – you can also try it on LCD or IPS but I think there will be very big battery drain.
Features:
• Double tap to wake up device like LG phones
• Showing date, time, notifications and battery state and level(red - 15%, green 100%)
• Long press on the date open calendar app
• Tap on notification icon open selected app
• Automatic brightness control for AOD from light sensor or manual set in settings
• Pause AOD when receive call
• Pause AOD if phone is in pocket or proxi sensor is active more then 30s - save battery
• Ability set time which allow deep sleep AOD when phone is without motion more then set time in settings - save battery
• Ability disable AOD when long press backbutton
• Options for configuration views size, color, possition and visibility for views in AOD.
• Options to set wallpaper and opacity for AOD
• Options for time format
• If phone is charging AOD will never paused and you can use it like wath .)
• Swipe left/right over battery row to change brighness for short time removed in v0.1.2
Is impossible or not supported by me: disable fingerprint, disable HW & SW buttons, support for LED. This app does not require root or custom kernel and never will. I suggest to anyone who want those features, try other applications if exist.
Disadvantages:
• For now bugs and bigger battery drain still here but working on it
• You must turn off permanent backlight for hw buttons or set time when they will be turn off(Samsung limit I can not do it programally)
• Your light indicator LED will be off while charging etc. (it is because Android turn on led only when display is fully off so I can not do it programally)
About deep sleep - app allow deep sleep in inactive mod where you can set time for app sleep while phone is not moving. Then app will be paused because you sleep etc and then when you wakeup phone AOD will be automatically started. So I think this can save battery. The same if your phone is upside down or in your pocket, you do not need AOD ON.
I need some testers and feedback. Thx for your time. Based on the results of testing I will fix bugs or modify the application features.

Tried the app.
Here's couple of things I find missing and/or need to be changed.
1. There needs to be a brightness adjustment slider in the app settings. I don't think I would want to adjust the brightness while the AOD is on, plus there's only two options for brightness while AOD is working (darkest and brightest).
2. When placed in averagely lit area, when the AOD is on, after 30 seconds, the brightness goes all the way up for some reason, why would anyone want that.
3. The clock should be moving all the time to avoid screen burn-in.
4. When you place your finger on the phone's light sensor, the phone display turns on after 10 seconds. The AOD should be on all the time, right, unless you tell it not to.
5. Minor thing, but when charging led light goes away.
But that's just my observations. Do whatever you like.
Edit: v0.1.2
1. The manual brightness slider still does not work properly, only one option works: 0%, the others if you set, just goes to default brightness.
2. After 30 seconds the AOD changes brightness to lowest even though I set the settings to manual.
3. As I was writing this post, my phone display just randomly turned on, then turned off and the AOD is gone. Had to re-enable the AOD in the app to get it working again.
Great app, but needs a lot of bug fixing and stability, sometimes, when you turn off the display The AOD will only appear after 5-10 or so, sometimes right away.
Now this look very promising! Great work!
Confirmed 4. and 5. from post above. I don't know if for 3. is correct, if it is than he's right too.
Will test tonight for battery on my Note5.

But it doesn't let phone going in deep sleep?
Needs some features and updates. Im using it now and w8ing for updates. Thank for ur work..
@PFittech app looking good very promising would be a nice addition to add the weather also looking very very good also change the time format between 12 hour and 24 hour
Well.. ..3% / hour the battery loss this night...wake up at 76% from 100%. Usually I lose 2 or 3 % by night on stand by.
A little but too much for now hopefully it'll be improve.

Waiting for new update.
I think that you guys have poor battery life, simply because all these apps doesn't let phone go in deep sleep.
On S7 always on is implemented on kernel side, so until someone do the same on s6, we can't have this feature.
Yeah this app could reproduce it perfectly, but with no deep sleep i don't see any reason to use it.
That's It Bro!Well Done..But It Isn't Like The S7 Edge One!
Is It From Samsung Or Lg?

Yes I'm Think So...
Great for now, does it work with Ambient Display and/or Greenify?
OK I add new version 0.1.2 see changelog, thx all for feedback I read every post but do not repond because time. Some asked features was already implement or will be later. About deep sleep - app allow deep sleep in inactive mod where you can set time for app sleep while phone is not moving. Then app will be paused because you sleep etc and then when you wakeup phone AOD will be automatically started. So I think this can save battery. The same if your phone is upside down or in your pocket, you do not need AOD on.

Yeah I thought about that, sorry, will do next time.
When on call turn off screen, i think a bug
the screen goes from max brightness to low one after 20 sec? why? i would like to have always high
Apparently my phone won't allow me to use blue light filter and screen mode settings. The on and off switches can't be tapped.
Blue Light Filter and Screen Mode options are disabled if you've got 'Greyscale' or 'Negative colours' enabled under accessibility settings.
Color adjustment will disable too
NOTE 8 USER
Mine are greyed out as well and neither of those two things are turned on.
**Found the problem. It was screen zoom setting.
I had this edge panel on my S9 and loved using it to quickly switch my screen blue light filter and brightness using the vertical slider but I can't seem to find it on my S10. Does anyone have a recommendation for replacement??? Thanks
its been 20 days i got the rog 2 and things i find annoying are
1. the whole screen flashes green when FPS is scanning my finger (MKBHD also discussed this in his review)
2. when you double click the power button a yellow border flashes around wallpaper on lock screen ( this only happens when you have two different wallpapers for lock screen and home screen )
3. when i open armory crate and exit, it automatically becomes default home app.
4. i disabled some google apps (chrome,duo,youtube,photos) but these apps are automatically enabled and updated every morning.
5. lastly RED TINT

i think u have played with some option from the developer mode go there and try to turn things off and see how that goes
if not then a factory reset could do something for u if its a developer option thing

Firstly what firmware version you on? Maybe more details would help
1. I don't get a screen full of green, but the screen is slightly brightened with a greenish brightness. I assume this is the issue. Most phones (inc Oneplus phones) with optic FPS do this as the bright green FPS light also partly turns on other oled pixels. Some other manufacturers lower the brightness of the finger print sensor light, which then has the effect of inaccurate print reads. I dunno, I like how fast the FPS unlocks the phone, its one of the quickest - if the slightly brightened screen is the sacrifice, I'm ok with that :good:
2. I can't replicate this
3. I can't replicate this
4. Why do you need to disable these core google apps?
5. Red tint is hardware - its been slightly improved with the latest WW-16.0631.1910.35 firmware, but this oled screen has a dominant red gamut - every oled screen has a dominant colour (either blue, red or green) so just have to deal with it. :good:

im on the latest ww firmware.
some users on reddit also reported that there home app is changing when they open and exit armory crate,
i use firefox and youtube vanced instead of chrome and youtube so i disabled them and i dont use duo or photos app either. i dont understand how these apps are getting enabled on their own and auto updating every morning? what kinda black magic is this?
Hi there,
I just bought a Mi 9t Pro- and generally I am happy with it. But coming from a Pocophone I really miss the notification LED; and the screen coming on when I got a notification.
The Ambient Display just isn't great, it's too bright and doesn't display notification info reliably - and I don't want an always on screen.
For me I'd like Ambient Display to show ONLY when I have notifications but leave the screen dark when there is none - is there a way to achieve this? Would even buy a 3rd party app.
Thanks in advance
