Arc Lighting adds a highly customizable ring of light around the camera cutout of your phone. You can use this light with various indicators such as audio visualization, notification lighting, critical or low battery warnings, as well as a charge indicator. The ring can also appear on your Always-On display. (to make aod work you need to make sure you have downloaded always on amoled and activated it, you also need to make sure samsung stock aod and samsung edge lighting is disabled under samsung display settings you also need to make sure that aod is enabled under arclighting with override set to off)
Features:
- Highly customizable lighting for the Galaxy S10, S10+, S10e, and Note 10. Select a variety of colors, animations, and styles.
- Always show ring with various gradient effects (add multiple colors and make them spin for a visual experience)
- An adjustable glow effect that can be turned on or off
- Notification lighting both when the display is on or off (update planned for only the lockscreen or only inapp)
- Music lighting that syncs the light to your music
- Battery indicator lighting for charging, low and critical battery states. (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appear)
- Device overheating indicator for gamers and power users (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appear)
- Arc Lighting can be configured to match the color of your wallpaper, the app you're currently in, or both!
This app requires certain permissions to function correctly.
Accessibility: This permission is used for the ring to appear over your lock screen, always-on display, and for accessing the color of the current app you're in. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Draw Over Other Apps: This permission allows the ring to show on top of other apps. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Microphone Access: This permission is used to analyze the internal device audio for the music lighting. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to enable the Audio Visualizer indicator for the ring.
Storage Access: This permission is used to get the color of your wallpaper. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to use the color of your wallpaper for the ring.
Notification access: This permission is used to change the color of the ring after notifications
Burn-in concerns: Some Android displays may suffer from mild burn-in if a single item is displayed on the screen for an extremely significant amount of time. If you are concerned about this, feel free to enable the rotation animation in ring settings. That will ensure the display is constantly changing. Alternately, you can disable the default effect to only show the ring while an indicator is being triggered. Note: Samsung Galaxy devices come with burn-in protection that moves the pixels a little each time.

it is updated for the note 10 but i have only tested it on the s10+ please test it and let me know and send a message for the code
Been using the app for a few hours now and really like it. Works very very well.
Phone is on silent at work so these notifications are helpful.
Using this with the AOD notify. The latter is helpful when the screen is off or face down.
Keep up the good work [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Downloaded and purchased. This app is exactly what I needed since the Note 10 doesn't have LED notification anymore.
Thanks!

thank you that means a lot, i still want to include more features but i owe the developer money and he won't do any more updates until i paid it off some things i want to implement
fix bugs like the landscape bug, glow and music turning off other indicators
add a connected or disconnected or both to the app and get rid of the charging indicator so you can choose what color you want, right now you can use a work around to see charge level for that by setting a custom zone for the battery indicator and then setting it to between 99 and 100 for it to turn green there but it will do it even when the phone is disconnected but it works to know when it's fully charged
inapp/homescreen/lockscreen/charging/discharging modes so you can choose a configuration for each like only notification lighting on the lockscreen and only the spinning visual effect on the homescreen
gradient and animations per app and toggle to enable or disable notifications for certain apps so for example when you are performing a call it can do a gradient animation specific for that.
i have plenty of ideas but no funding to do it so the app could be much much better.

Everything seems to be working well. Is there a setting that allows for incremental adjustments to the ring? It is just slightly off center with the actual hole. Do I PM you for the code or is feedback here good?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
how do i disable individual notifications: currently this is a planned update, you can go into custom colors and set each app you don't want notifying to 100% transparent
light is constantly flashing even if i cleared all notifications: sometimes theres forced notifications such as when you're charging it will force a notification that says you're fast charging, the light will pick up on these you need to hold on these notifications and turn them off to stop the light there should be nothing at all in the notificationpanel, if you still have a flashing light with nothing in the panel contact me.
frozen light: music lighting will disable all other indicators same with battery indicator or battery temp indicator, you need to set custom zones otherwise the light will be frozen, glow also tends to freeze the light so turn that off if it's frozen (this will be fixed in a coming update)

Whenever I switch to selfie camera, I see light circle around the camera that shows up for 5 secs. Is it normal? I don't remember seeing this before ?
It's annoying .
I see a pretty cool effect when I switch to selfie mode... A quick ring of light for MAYBE one second it appears to spin around the camera clockwise once. Pretty neat! Thanks for making me notice that.
Yes its normal. It’s to remind you where the camera is. Cute effect...
It is not appearing on mine..
Would be pretty cool to use this as a notification for messages and what not

Lemme get this straight...Samsung released an update that allows us to use the light ring around the camera as a notification signal BUT only while the screen is in use?

It works with the screen on or off if you set it to always. But the notification goes away in a few seconds.
That's why I like aodnotify. It works with screen on or off and I can set the light ring to stay in until I clear it.
On my Note 10+ I do not have - apparently- the possibility to select "black hole"...??? I only have basis effects? I come from a Samsung S8+ and before S8 and before S5 - and on every switch I have used Samsungs app for transferring data to new phone.
On my S8s I never managed to get the blue light "running" around the screen - even though I used the same settings as my wife's S8...???
I have only selected edge light for the SMS app (standard Samsung) and I do not use it that much but I think I recall that the edge light actually DID run around when I first got my Note 10+ but now it doesn't... (Bixby related???)
But anyway- no black hole option for me...?
I got the "black hole" type via nice lock, as good lock is not available in my country

You need to go to Galaxy Store, install Good Lock app , open Good Lock app, select "family" and then install EdgeLightning +. With the updated EdgeLightning +, you will find "black hole" effect.
Good lock SHOULD be a pre-installed app but Samsung in their wisdom put other bloatware on that is MUCH LESS useful and left this awesome app in the galaxy store...
Not even really featured well...
I have only used my Note 10+ with the standard apps regarding this issue... Thank you for the new app-tip! I will try it at once ??

Hi Folks. Just getting my head round the features of the new Note 10+. Wow! What a beast! Just one query at this stage: Edge Lighting...
I have the feature switched on. Have it set to 'all apps' but when a notification comes in, there's err no edge lighting at all - I still get the notification from the app that's sent the message in the status bar (isn't edge lighting supposed to replace that?). At this early stage, there's a chance it's 'user error' and I'm missing something obvious. Anyone put me straight.
Cheers

the note 20 ultra is not officially supported yet but the app comes with a custom alignment adjuster under cutout settings so you can align the ring yourself, if you enjoy the app please do rate it i have received a lot of bad ratings lately which has pushed it down to nearly 2 stars so rating it would be very appreciated.

Just a suggestion, but it would be nice to be able to manually enter the offset number rather than solely relying on a slider.
Fine-tuning the adjustments would be MUCH easier by being able to input a number.
