Notification LED with screen on? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Is it possible to enable the notification LED to pulse on this device? I know it's possible with Android Nougat because it was working on my OnePlus 2 on RR. Oreo RR has the option on this device but it doesn't work properly, and any solution I've found for customizing the LED doesn't have an option to enable this functionality.

You'll need a 3rd party app like Light Flow or Light Manage from the play store. Personally, I use Light Manager. Works like a charm :good:

Thanks for the tip. I was actually trying to find something that would enable the LED to be turned on while the screen is on, but it looks like Light Manager confirmed my suspicion. It looks like either Oreo disabled this, or Pixel's LED just doesn't work this way.

Am using the DU ROM, and it has the option of LED in screen on / DND and it all works for me. I use this as my daily driver as am content with the insane amount of LED customization I get.

Ohh, excellent! How's battery life, the camera (I'm sure it's same as stock with Google camera right?) customization, stability? I'm perfectly happy on stock besides the LED, so I'm trying to figure out if it's worth going through the hassle of flashing another ROM. Thanks

Battery life is definitely better than stock, comparable to Nitrogen. My stock was giving slight less screen-on time and much less idle time. Not giving you any numbers as usages vary person to person.
Stability is good too.
Camera is all stock as usual.
There are a lot of DU tweaks, same as aquarios and other other ROMs. Maybe lil more or less, but am not that much into it. You can check out more in their website or the unofficial thread here in XDA.

Battery life being better than stock really surprises me, considering I regularly get 6-8 SOT with excellent standby.
Sounds pretty good, I'll definitely check it out. Thanks!

Just outa curiosity, why do you need the led light on while the phone is on if you already know you've got a message or whatever? ?

It's not necessarily something I absolutely need, I'd just like to have it back. I got used to having it on my OnePlus 2, and it was useful to be able to tell that I had a pending notification, like a message or a missed call during media consumption like Netflix or YouTube. It also allowed me to get rid of Heads Up notifications and disable vibrations.

Changes from 4.4 to 5.1.1

Hi there.
I've just updated my z1c from 4.4 to 5.1.1 and everything is fine with it...
I just have few things to ask for:
1) it seems that app icons on home are bigger than in KK. Isn't it? If yes, is there a way to make them smaller, with gravity box or other mods?
2) while watching videos or photos in full screen mode on facebook, chrome and other apps, status and navigation bars don't disappear. I remember that before updating they did, but i don't remember if it was due to some function of GB or other mods. What do you think about it? Is there anything i could do to make it happen?
3) which sound mod could you advise for a volume increse with minimum quality loss?
Thank you so much, hope my english isn't too bad.

1) Serajr Xperia Xposed has an icon size adjustment, (maybe GB too, not sure). See screenshot- I set it to 50.
2) Mess around with 'immersive mode' in GB > display.
3) not sure about sound mods...

I wouldn't be surprised if it's not perfect across all apps. Another option is called 'app settings'. It's similar, but has more options to set per app. I don't use FB, so I couldn't help w that...
Is it worth to update from KK to LP? I mean did you see some improvements in performance aside to UI and other LP's releated things? I need a suggestion bc I'm very attempted to update but I don't wanna end as a my friend who saw her G3s inexorably die after the update.

Stagefright fix, ultra stamina mode.
Probably other things, but this is what's new IMHO.
If you update, be ready to deal with less battery (but the gap isn't that huge).
Z1C is very snappy with this update, it won't die now for sure !

Wtf: Ultra Stamina Mode with less battery?!
Stragefright doesn't scare me so much because I generally don't download any MMS that I receive LOL
So, in the end, I guess I'll stay with this wonderful KK.

I meant less battery life in normal mode of course
I guess it should be at least one week with USM enabled, this could be an interesting test btw !
About Stagefright, I don't think you even need to downoad it, only to receive it !
https://youtu.be/PxQc5gOHnKs
Yep man, you're completely right!
But it's enough disabling "auto-retrieve MMS option" (that is in every reliable messaging app, like Google's Messenger) to make stragefright bug completely harmless
As regards USM... well, if it actually extends battery life to one week, maybe I have to revalue the update. Has anyone tested it? I guess there's no porting on KK because it relies on "Ultra power safe mode" introduced with LP, am I right?

Hard to say... I don't see nothing really better.
Maybe i like layouts and some aspect of lp more then in kk, but for others is exactly the opposite.
The system seems faster, but it's still hard to say because i was on the same rom since One year and now i've a total wipe. Battery life is worst, but not too much. USM is fantastic, but I use it only if i have low battery without the possibility of charging for long time, because you can use only few functions with it.
Maybe i'd do the update again if i could come back (surely with root), but without any strong reason.
Hope This helped you.

Ambient Display Fix?

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.

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.

Battery life has been soo much better then stock rom kicking it at about 10hrs screen on time maybe more. Currently at 11% but ot should be another 1 hour of sot with my luck.
No greenify or any othet battery saving apps.

Sorry but the power consumption for that usage is pretty low (unless you are streaming or playing music [while screen is off] behind the scene for 5 hours or more =D) so stock ROM can easily surpass that.
Here is a typical medium usage for me...

Stock is awesome for battery life, but I'm curious about how things would be with either Slim or Cm13. On WiFi I'd get even more, but might as well use my unlimited data.
There was a constant wake lock on the 12-31 build. If you're getting 9 hrs screen time, it's likely they fixed it in the latest nightly. Excellent. I read in the other thread about VoLTE in *#*#4636000#*#* toggle. Has that worked for anyone else yet?
Is anyone else getting no touchscreen upon boot?
Deal breaker for me was its lack of color control. Default white balance and color balance is just way far off.

Happened to me on the first boot but after holding the power button and rebooting it seemed to work.
Is everyone else still having the leaving wifi > no LTE issue? I've tried all sorts APN and preferred network settings and it happens much less but still getting it occasionally.
Also still not getting GPS lock on in device only (usually means hardware GPS not working). Funny though, it still works about 95% using turn by turn navigation so maybe GPS is just weak/slow.

I did a full wipe before installing and the IR blaster is working great for me on this build! I was not able to get it working on the CM Superluminal build for some reason. Really liking this ROM so far!!
What is the restriction of the issue "selinux permissive mode"? Is it only relevant if you use root? Will the fingerprint unlock work if you have root turned off?
I cant seem to get the it blaster working. I tried peel and sure from the app store. It didn't work for me on the cm13 ROM as well. Attached is my log file when I tried peel. Thanks for another great ROM!

It's weird how the IR blaster functionality seems to vary so much. I was having issues at one point using IR on CM but I ended up doing a clean flash with the Slim build and it's working now. Battery life seems much better on this build over CM also.
I was finally able to get a log dump of the extreme slowdown while disconnecting from Bluetooth. Hope this helps. Thanks!

"AOE" Notification Light Alternative

This app is a great substitute for OnePlus 6T and no LED. Allows you to get colorful notifications from your favorite apps.

Tips and Tricks: Things that work for me
1. Battery Optimization don't optimize
2. Do not check my lock screen as background. ( helps get customized app color )

Make sure you have the app set to Don't Optimize if you haven't already. I'm not sure why it isn't working for you and not sure what you have for set up.
It is an amazing app!
I'm using this, had figured it out even before this thread.
Turn on 'New Notifications' in Ambient Display and also do not optimise the app.
It works. And it's the coolest alternative to a notification LED.

Mine uses little or no battery at all. Right now I have been up for 13 hours and AOE doesn't even register and I have been getting all my notifications
Use it for 2 days because I thought plus beat not working anymore ( I accidentally turn off lock screen notifications).
AOE working well but lack of feature I want - battery full notification.
Now back to plus beat.

Just installed this and it appears to be working. This is the first app that I see doing what I wanted (a very unobtrusive way of telling if notifications have arrived).
Did not need to to activate "New Notifications" under Ambient Display for it to work. Are you sure it's needed?
I'm not managing to customize the color of the colored stripes according to the app sending a notification. Not that I care too much, on Nexus 6P LED color was mostly irrelevant to me. I just needed a visual cue that something needed my attention if I missed the audio one.

I got it working but it times out after 1 minute. I have my display set to sleep after 1 minute of inactivity but if this follows that rule it's kind of useless for notifications.

What setting? I also see this behaving strangely. It seems that, as other apps, it gets killed in the background even if one opts not to battery optimize it.

Yeah, I set all that. Results have been inconsistent as far as working after long inactivity is concerned.
I wish OP had thought of baking something similar in their OS, when they decided to take away the LED.

I agree, I wish OnePlus had baked something like this into the stock ROM. My second screenshot doesn't look like it posted for some reason so here it is.
5% battery usage. Not cool. This with "Stable" edge styling, which should be the best for battery.

Question Horizon Light

Hello,
would you please tell me if there's any app that can edit the horizon light animation and/or add a loop, so the animation continues till the notification has been read or cleared?
Thanks in advance
Would be a nice feature to have since the notification LED is gone
On Color OS 12 Stable works fine & is awesome.
I really wish we had Renovate ICE for OP9P. I used that to customize the horizon light on my previous phone.

I 1000% feel the same way. I find myself wanting to go back to my 7pro just to have RICE again. It was so easy to install/use and had every customization option I wanted. I just got my 9pro within the past month and at least once a day I debate returning it and using my 7Pro still just for Renovate.
:I can't decide if I should try a custom ROM like evolution or try to hold out for a rom to flash in Magisk similar to how RICE was. Not sure how many of those will exist anymore considering Magisk is slowly going away

If the hardware turns out to be a better upgrade than the 9 series was and it receives a generally positive response from the dev community, I'll probably upgrade. RICE would definitely be a bonus, but overall this phone just hasn't lived up to my expectations.

I didn't realize how much I depended on notification light until it was gone. The ambient display serves my needs as a replacement.

Yeah, it's natively available in Oxygen OS. See Settings > Display > Ambient Display. I set it to show during my daily active hours.
Other places that affect this include:
notification detail settings and customization (to change the clock style & other visual elements).
Enjoy!

Im not entirely sure how well this works, but I have messed around with this app previous. I used an app on the playstore called AOA by newGen Mobile, its not quite an ambient display but it is an Always on Display app that enables you to customize your horizon lights as you see fit(color, duration, pattern and such). There is a free version of it if you want to at least try it out.
