How can I install official always on display app on my tablet and use it ?
Not reccomended because this tablet has an OLED screen, and it would cause burn-in.

I don't know if it's possible to install the Always On Display (AOD) app on this tablet, but the AMOLED screen is not a problem, because the original AOD app is being used on the Samsung S7/S7Edge and ex Note7 which all have an AMOLED screen.
Burn-in prevention techniques are used by AOD.
Conversely battery drain might probably be a problem as this screen was not designed for AOD.
Someone created an AOD app and posted it on the Galaxy S6 forum. I haven't tried it since I don't care for AOD.

Hi guys, sorry if this is stupid question, but i never had a amoled device before, so, is it normal white/yellow/gray colours gets a little bluish when looking it in angles?

Yes. its normal with this type of (see pentile matrix) screen.
There is also about 15 other threads on this topic.

Hm if I remember correctly, the samsung galaxy s II has an option to adjust the saturation of the screen.. does the galaxy nexus have the same option somewhere?

I posted in another thread for others who search for a resolution to this issue...another user mentioned an app called "screen adjuster". I downloaded it and gave it a whirl, and while it fixed the color temp of my screen, it also introduced tons of lag to my device. I think the problem is that it's an app that has to run in the background and change every screen actively. An app that is that resource intensive can't be good for my battery, so I got rid of it. I've read that some devs are working on adding a color saturation/temp adjustment to their roms, does anyone have any insight on this? I've searched "display calibration" and "display temp" and haven't come up with any distinct claims, just speculation.
If any of you clever developers / tinkerers know of a 'lite' app to use to fix the non working ambient display issues I.E. pick up to wake doesnt work, a recommendation would be soooo welcome. I looked at apps like gravity etc in the play store, but they are a. rather large and b. the permissions they require are a bit suspect. Thanks in advance
Did not know something was wrong.
So I pick it up it does not wake up, I think is a good thing. When I pick it up and I want a display, I press something and have no problem with that.
This maybe one reason the Pixel XL has an excellent battery life.
At the suggestion of another user here, I installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomer.alwayson
It's reminiscent of Samsung's version but has a lot more customisability. There's also an option to turn of the display completely when the proximity sensor is activated. All of the permissions make perfect sense fit the features you select and it doesn't cause a terrible battery hit.

That's why I said it wasn't terrible... Lol. It's definitely not great on your battery, but I can still make it through a day with quite heavy usage.
Ambient display is only meant to flash notifications on the screen in black and white for a short period then turn off. As far as I know, the pick up and bump to wake is an OEM added feature that Motorola, Samsung, and likely others added, but it isn't in stock Android.

On the Pixel XL it flashes only once which i find to be a disappointment. Also on the Nexus 6 , 6P and 5X the notification/time flashed once upon picking up or moving the phone a bit. This is not enabled on the Pixel models for some reason.

I'm the same way.
But obviously the OP feels different so why bother to post.
This feature does not even work for me at all (but I am able to get the light to pulse). After talking to pixel support for about 30 minutes they did confirm that Ambient display has an engineering problem they are currently working on.

Damn !! I was going nuts trying to figure out why this phone was not acting like my Nexus 6. lol I loved the Moto display then had to end up liking the Nexus 6 version afterwards. Then this Pixel XL only flashing the notice once then never again was aggravating. and of course no good app on the play store to emulate this function with 7.1 lol
well I hope this engineering problem can be fixed with software. :silly:
I've created an app that wakes ambient display when you take the phone out of your pocket or if you have the phone face down and turn it over. The app is in addition to Google's ambient display and does not change your lock screen in anyway.
I added a few other paid features for pulsing at an interval, wave to unlock, and battery percentage display on the ambient display.
I would love to have a few beta testers for the extra features, as it's a work in progress. Message me if you'd like a free code to redeem for the paid features.
Check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.ambiturner
any way to edit what's on the ambient display?
would love to get a battery% on there.
Agreed. That would be nice.

I don't understand why Google doesn't put battery percent on the screen I would also like to be able to adjust the size
Have there been any updates on this subject now that we have the working root and TRWP?
Really love to have options to change clock colors and display battery percentage.

I want to know why the font changes. Sometimes its tall & skinny other times, short & fat.

Isn't that (also?) why it moves around?
It would be nice if Google could do something simple like say, have an automatic off setting so it's not wasting power during the night.
Must Samsung lead the way with everything Google does? Seriously?

So you'd like to see ambient display start but only run for a set amount of time? I know I've seen it get really dim, dimmer than when it starts

Yes. It's something Samsung has had for ages now. I mean Google took the time to create a scheduled system for blue light reduction, yet couldn't bother to do the same with Ambient Display. It's either on 24-7 or off.
The best solution I've found is to put a piece of paper or such over the top sensor at night so the phone will think the device is in a pocket and turn off the screen.

The best ideas are the easiest sometimes. I stay away from Samsung. I can't stand trying to figure out where they put stuff at. Why change menu structure even. I've tried several times because of the awesome hardware but never make it past about 2 months.

Cheers for the tip! :good::good: We've done my part now let's wait
I just got my pixel 2 XL and can't believe google has not enabled this already, it's a very basic item and a must have for many.
Pretty pathetic, hopefully once roms start dropping this will fix many shortcomings on the device.
As mentioned in an different thread, using Accubattery will display the battery level on the AOD. In my brief testing, Google reported the app as not consuming any measurable amount of power overnight, so no appreciable battery draw. Also, there is a root app from an XDA RC that displays the music you are currently playing/streaming on to the AOD. This is different from the existing "now playing" feature already built in, and at the end of the article HERE it says that almost any "text" can be displayed on the AOD. It's not the built in Google controls for the AOD we are expecting, but there is hope for customization for those with root, and in the coming ROMs.
Well, got this notice, just don't know what "Changed" (shrug)

After I read your post I downloaded accubattery and it works quite well. Thanks for the heads up
I hope they enable the ability to keep the icon on the lockscreen while removing it from the notification panel.. that would be perfect.

I think the question is clear enough from the thread's title, I only have to add that I've tried Ambient Display, and also nearly all substitutes for this feature from Play Market, and none of them even comes close to the experience provided by the stock AOD.
In other words, I tried other options, and was left unsatisfied.
its possible but hard ... considering that lineage os is pure android and that aod propably requires some samsung frameworks that defeats purpose of lineage tho ... even tho im gonna agree with nothing comes anywhere near stock aod in terms of features and aesthetics

We have to ask raymanFX to make us aod with low battery consumption like stock. I think that it would be possible to make aod from clock that is set when you lift device or from clock- night mode. Only thing is to make it to stay on display.

This will already be available in Lineage 15.1, for it's a stock (or easily enough unlockable) option in Oreo.
Samsung's AOD is much cooler, though...
I don't know what people like about AOD. I don't need a permanent clock. I'd prefer if screen would turn on only for notification, but that's not possible so I disable it.
Has this become available now ?
Hi guys,
Simply question, IT is possible to change refresh rate or software overclock display to more Hz?
Or any APPS on this?
Unlock 90hz or 120hz anything else?
Thanks for answer

No, if it was the relevant option(s) would be visible and available to us on the phone.
Currently people are using activity launchers to run a menu option for the S20 that is hidden on the Note 10+. While it can be toggled it appears to not work at all on the Note 10+ due to hardware limitations.

Hi,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10/how-to/toys-oneui-2-1-update-t4077297
Tried the activity launcher and I assure 100% note 10+ locked to 60hz...
I installed the app and applied the setting as well. Not so much as a placebo effect. Checked at testufo and can confirm only 60hz. Is there anything useful anyone has discovered in this app?
The Problem will be the drivers for the display
To achieve more than 60hz you would have to create a custom resolution and refresh rate
Effectively overclocking the display
Anyone ever checked what resolution and refresh rate the Note 10+ can actually use, by running the shell command “dumpsys display,” in adb?
According to this article the setting option was a mistake.
https://piunikaweb.com/2020/04/07/s...-120hz-refresh-rate-but-dont-get-too-excited/
by the fact the display was launched as purely 60hz it is probably a hardware limitation.
LCD/LED/other panels are manufactured to work at a maximum speed, it will be hardware controlled through the display chips, so unless you can swap out the controller chip and the panel is actually capable of altering the individual points at that speed you are likely never getting past 60hz. so unless the hardware was designed for 120hz and Samsung chose to just massively underclock the screen (but why would they do that when it would have been a good brag?) there is likely no way past 60hz as since the change from CRT the only way to overclock a screen is if the screen is shipped underclocked by the manufacturer.
so the reason it doesn't show up in the standard settings without extra steps should tell you this option being there is a mistake of them not removing the setting deep enough in the software.
