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

There are actually two apps on xda for that:
Arc Lighting
aodNotify

Woulda still been great if Samsung built this option into the software instead of having to get an app to do it.
Thanks though! I'll check em' out!
Samsung just updated the EdgeLighting+ to using the lighting circle around camera as notification alert.

Got the update Yday. Really nice, shame there is no way to keep it flashing when the screen goes off
(i know there are 3rd party apps, Just yet to find one that works perfectly with a black screen and JUST the circle around the camera)

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

Did you install Edge Lighting+ ?

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 ??

I just installed Good Lock from Galaxy Store but in setting there does not seem to be any option for Family or Edge Lightening +
Would appreciate your help.

Hi everyone,
Has anyone seen any success in installing Samsung's EdgeLightning+ on A50?
I really want the notification style that comes with EdgeLightning+ and the actual edge lightning is a plus. I have tried AoDNotify, but that is just not it. Is there a port of this app for the A50?
I use Always on AMOLED from the Play Store on the A20 and it works great. Free app paid it's a couple bucks. It has an always on clock (obviously ) and also edge lighting.
I used to use aodNotify for edge lighting and camera notch notification light, but what I am looking for is the style of notifications from the Edge Lighting app from Samsung (the little dot drops from the middle top of the screen and expands into a notification for a few seconds, shrinks and returns to the top of the screen)
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)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FibMTD5Mdx8
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 (sometimes this can cause the light to freeze to a white glow this will be fixed)
- 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 (does not work together with other indicators so other indicators will stop working if you enable music lighting this will be fixed)
- 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 appearm, not configuring zones can freeze the light entirely this will be fixed)
- Device overheating indicator for gamers and power users (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appear, not configuring zones can freeze the light entirely this will be fixed)
- Arc Lighting can be configured to match the color of your wallpaper, the app you're currently in, or both! (this only works for the only show ring and only when you set it to a solid color the option is not available for gradient colors which will be added later)
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.

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)
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.
Hi! This looks awesome! Is there a 'Halo' option or a slow beating effect? Could the color be changed? I really want to try this notification light. How can I get a code, please? Thank you!

color can be changed per app, a slow beating effect i believe that theres a speed option yes, i don't have a s20 ultra so i can't check
I'm gonna try this as soon as my Note 20 Ultra 5G is delivered. I'm gonna tell my friends to download the app, too. I've bookmarked this page.
Here's hoping for a code, too! Thanks!
I am def. Going to give the arc notification app a go. This looks great! I am hoping to get a code please. Thank you for the work and app in advance!

send me a message as i go through them in bulk thank you
once someone has the s20 ultra please let me know how it works and if anyone can download the app build.info and screenshot so i can have it officially added, right now you have to manually go in cutout settings then adjust the ring until official support is implemented

I'll definitely keep this thread posted as soon as my N20U5G arrives and install your app.
Looking forward to trying this out, thanks!
I will definitely try this out! My phone should be here Friday
Would love a code for the Arc lightning app. Thank you for your work.
Can i get a code for your notification led light app pls? Would love to try thank you!
can I get a code i just got my phone
This looks awesome! I will be receiving the Note 20 Ultra tomorrow and would love to get a code for this app.
Long time user of lightflow. Looking forward to trying the arc lighting app. I would also like a code. Thanks
Hey,
My note should be arriving this Friday, wondering if I can hold a code and help you test.
Fine-tuning

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.
TIA
I'd like to try this out as well. A code would be great, thanks!
I wanted to use edge lighting on my galaxy m51, but it doesn't support Samsung edge lighting. I tried 'always on edge lighting', but it doesn't use system aod and looks weird when lighting up on notification. Then I tried aodNotify, but it doesn't allow separate effects for aroundScreen and aroundCamera lightings. aodNotify supports system aod lighting, but not separate effects. always on edge supports separate effects but not system aod. Is there anyway to combine both these into a single app? (sweatgrinning)
What I want ultimately is
uses system aod to light up edges on notifications
allows separate effects for aroundScreen light up (while screen-off, using system aod) and aroundCamera (while screen-on)
