How do I change the squeeze strength for X-mode? I used the default strength during phone setup but it is triggering X-mode too easily for me. I can't seem to find the setting to change it.
Umm, not entirely sure as i haven't really used it, but there's a setting for sensitivity in Armoury Crate, console tab, scroll down to air triggers 'button tap force level'. Is that what you mean?
No. That is to adjust the sensitivity for the air triggers. I'm looking for the squeeze sensitivity for the sides of the phone to activate X-mode.

Does anyone else notice that even on the lowest setting the screen is still really bright? Does a program exist or can someone program one to dim the screen further for use in the dark? Thanks

There are a number of programs in the market that will allow fine tuning. Power Manager, Toggle Switch, etc.

Your answer was even less relevant than mine and I thought I was going on a tangent. At least my idea would in theory work.
Power Mgr won't make it any less bright than the phone currently allows and how would toggle switches do anything for the brightness? lol

Well... Toggle Settings (sorry I called it switch before...) shows %'s, and allows you to set it the brightness from the app. it doesn't let you set it below 0% though (might be a nice feature...)
Power Manager allows you to set the brightness and to save 'profiles' eg. "night time' with the settings you want.
At least my answer had two apps that allow you to change the display brightness... goof

I found a program called aSettings that will allow you to set maybe 5% lower than the stock Settings program. However, this screen is still way too bright when using in the dark.

I set the aSettings to "0" and checked in Toggle Settings (for reference). TS reports display brightness at -4%. Seems there may be hope if we get one of the programmers to tweak things a little more.

I had seen a friends Samsung Vibrant and he showed me how you can actually raise and lower the brightness settings of the phone by holding your finger on the status bar for a second and then swiping either left or right on it to adjust the brightness levels.
Just a cool feature if anybody is interested in investigating it.
Thanks,

I've seen this in action and it's pretty cool. Wonder if it's hiding in an .apk somewhere....
As far as I know, its in the framework Part and @kmobs tried it but needs help with the linear layout ...
Any application?
Is there any application with this feature? To change screen brightness INTO the status bar.
Any one can create such application?

You could
There are ROMs with brightness controls in the notifications.. Open Notification bar, tap the icon.. Has various options from Auto/30/100 all the way up to like 5 or so options. I tend to leave mine on Auto except when I'm using the phone as a car GPS in which case I need it brighter, and I let Tasker do that for me.
I love the ambient display on the Nexus 6....so after unlocking, rooting, and installing double tap to wake, I am looking for a way to make this the default behavior for the lock screen - e.g. I'd like double tap to wake or the power button to simply enable the screen in ambient display mode rather than full color. Does anyone know a way to do this?
Thanks!

I haven't seen anything that does that. To be clear, you want the double tap and power button to act like ambient display's "shake to wake" where when you pick up the device (effectively a shake) it presents the ambient display screen?
Actually I'd like that too.

Exactly!
Pocket mode, which is an option some custom ROMs have added to Ambient Display can kinda do this. What it does is it checks the proximity sensor, so when it is covered and then uncovered (like pulling it out of a pocket) the Ambient Display comes on. In actuality you can kinda wave your hand over the top part of the phone, without touching it.

Really? I thought pocket mode was to prevent the screen waking in your pocket

1. pocket mode = proximity enabled after screen off, if detect NEAR state (covered by hand or somethings), doze will disable
until FAR state (uncovered), if FAR state is triggered, Doze will appears.

^ From Omni's Github which discusses the feature in more detail.
As most of you might know, OnePlus removed the proximity wake option from OOS lately, replacing it with the lift to wake feature. If you want to use the proximity wake feature, you either have to switch to a custom ROM or use an outdated version of OOS. Both options might be suited for most people, but in case you prefer to use latest OOS and still want to use proximity wake, I have some kind of workaround.
PLEASE NOTE: it seems that the given shell command does not work on Android Oreo (OOS Open Beta as of writing). Check the latest posts of this thread for any progress.
I came across this shell command, which will trigger the ambient display:
Code:
am broadcast -a com.android.systemui.doze.pulse com.android.systemui
A big shoutout to @Quinny899 for providing me the code to trigger ambient display by shell command.
You can use this command with Tasker to trigger it when the proximity sensor is covered for some seconds or even when you wave your hand over it. I haven't had the time to get such a profile working until now, but I know that it can be archived easily.
In case you use the above command, ensure you check the "use root" option in Tasker's context menu for the shell command!
EDIT: I managed to get this working :good: Below my implementation. I am sure there is room for optimization, but this is just a basic task and it works for me (OOS 4.5.13 with Tasker 5.0u6).
You need three profiles. Two of them will check the proximity sensor state while screen is off, the third one actually triggers the ambient display while screen is off and proximity sensor has been covered (by waving over it for example).
First of all, we need to ensure that Tasker will monitor the proximity sensor while screen is off. For this, open the three-dot menu, select Preferences and navigate to the Monitor tab. Set "Proximity Sensor" to "On". That's it.
Second, you have to enable the Ambient Display option via Settings -> Display, otherwise this won't work at all (thanks to @Devildire for confirmation)
Let's have a look at the needed profiles:
Code:
[B]PROFILE [I]Prox OFF[/I]
[/B]State -> Sensor -> Proximity Sensor -> invert
State -> Display -> Display State -> "Off"
[B]TASK [I]Proximity uncovered[/I]
[/B]Variable -> Set -> %Prox = false
[B]PROFILE [I]Prox ON[/I]
[/B]State -> Sensor -> Proximity Sensor
State -> Display -> Display State -> "Off"
[B]TASK [I]Proximity covered[/I]
[/B]Variable -> Set -> %Prox = true
[B]PROFILE [I]Wake Ambient Display[/I]
[/B]State -> Display -> Display State -> "Off"
State -> Variables -> Variable Value -> %Prox = true
[B]TASK [I]Wake Proximity Display[/I]
[/B]Task -> Wait -> 1s
Task -> IF -> %Prox = false
Code -> Run Shell -> am broadcast -a com.android.systemui.doze.pulse com.android.systemui (DON'T FORGET TO CHECK "USE ROOT")
That's it. Now turn off your screen and try to wake the ambient display by waving your hand over the proximity sensor.
EDIT: Tasker profiles can be found in post #7.
EDIT #2: @Arstoien provided us with an improved version of my basic tasks, check it out here.
Thanks for the guide on how to, great work from you for the community
OP updated with instructions. Feel free to comment and share your experience or any kind of optimization proposes. Please note that the implementation is only a rough imitation of the original proximity wake feature, most likely this implementation needs some polishing.
Hey there. Sounds intriguing... I'm not understanding the stacked profiles... It seems you've got it triggering with two conditions. How do you do that?
Or... Would it be possible to upload the profiles and tasks for importing?
@saccentekennedy
If you want to add another trigger to a profile, just long-press the first trigger condition and Tasker will prompt you with a popup window where you can select to add another trigger option.
If anyone else is interested, I might upload the profiles later.
Hi guys , any file so that we can import it on tasker (if it has such system) to get this. !!??!!
Please find attached the requested profiles.
EDIT: You might want to change the wait time within the wake ambient display task to 1s instead of 300ms, this one actually works way better.

Yes look in the code last line
Mhm I have root, Tasker has a root-entry in magisk, added the profiles in post #7, changed the proximity sensor to yes, but it is not working.
Ok... So I've discovered that this breaks pocket mode... Every time I took my phone out to unlock with my finger, it had already registered several attempts my leg had made. I guess it makes sense this might be a problem.

As said before, this is just a rough workaround, it works for me (but not as perfect as the former in-built option). It works if you move your hand slowly over the sensor.

Hmm, I don't have this issue, but we might add another trigger option to the wake ambient profile: only trigger if display is face-up. This way it won't be triggered if the device is in your pocket.
After looking over what you steup in Tasker........The biggest question is "What does the phone do when it is in your pocket?" I think if you can figure out a solid Tasker-based solution to that question, this will be something worth using. Great work.
It works (more or less)
@dre-z:
try changing the wait time within the wake ambient display task to 1s instead of 300ms. Works better for me and might enable the whole thing on your device. 300ms to wait until your hand moved over the sensor completely seems to be a bit too short.

I think I am doing something wrong. Doesn't work at all. Thanks for your help anyways
Seems like the command is not working for me. The command triggers, but the screen doesn't wake up. Any ideas what's wrong?

Did you check the "use root" option in the corresponding task?
I use the downloaded profles and yes, root is checked. Using OP5 up to date OOS.
Edit: maybe there is something wrong with shell execution. Can you give me information about what I have to enter using tasker's "send intent" action instead?
I am absolutely certain I saw this in the settings a few days ago, but I can't find it now and a search of settings is coming up with nothing.
Basically, it was a way to set up split screen but having both sides of the screen active. This was demonstrated in the settings as having a dancing stick figure in the active window and when I turned on "both sides active" (or whatever it is actually called) then both stick figures started dancing.
Can anyone help me find this setting again? I've been through every single option in the settings and can't see it anywhere!
Thanks
I think that's a Good lock setting.

Bingo! Thank you
Speaking of split screen.....
On my s8 I could tap the middle bar of the 2 apps I am running split and it gives me option to flip the two easily. I can't figure out for the life of me how to do this on the s10. Is it possible?
