So my Nokia N9 has this amazing lockscreen that is always showing the time. The time moves around and if the lightsensor identifies it goes in a pocket, the screen turns off. This lockscreen also displays little icons for notifications (emails, SMS, etc) that I would like to see. This thread was originally mentioned I the galaxy nexus forum, but as I had a galaxy s3 I figured I could ask it here. So devs/community, is this somethng we can accomplish? As well as the supposed music controls via the lockscren as well. (A lockscreen without a password isn't a lockscreen.) Thanks much!
This is my first thread on XDA so forgive me if I put it in the wrong place etc. I just picked up a gsm galaxy nexus and flashed it to stock jelly bean, everything went smooth and it was successful. I also have it rooted. Anyway whenever I play music and turn the screen of the and turn it on the lock screen is black with the no background and the cover art is partially blocked by the status bar. Is there a fix for this or is that just how it is.
I don't have any screenshots but I will upload soon.
Normal behaviour. Get used to it.

Really? Cause on my Nexus 7 it was normal, anyway at least it isn't a major issue and its not affecting anything else. I guess its just a cosmetic thing.

Because the nexus 7 is a tablet.. and has the tablet/phone lock screen ui to it so it only shows the small album art up at the top. the DPI is small enough for that.

I get that but why would the wallpaper change to black on my galaxy nexus.

It just does. Google thinks it looks nicer, I suppose, and I have to agree. People could use very colourful wallpapers, that plus an "psychedelic" album art, and you end up in a perfect mess.
Is anyone developing apps just like stock messaging, phone, people, ect. With the new Google feel? Like the slide out navigation and the fading action bar...
Would be rather nice to see that.

I would expect that from Google themselves.
Hi,
Please forgive me if this is a noob question, but I've not found an answer here or elsewhere.
I'm coming from a Galaxy S6 and used the notification light to isolate between emails (Nine, for Exchange), SMS (Chomp), Facebook, Whatsapp, etc - each of which had a different alert tone and colour. Will Moto Display show interactive notifications for these third party services?
Thank you, in advance.

ya defiantly it will
By far the worst thing about Moto Display is that it will make it really difficult to ever buy a phone without again.
It is still, by a wide margin, the best implementation of an active display on any phone. And since it's hardware-aided, no amount of software is able to replicate it on other devices.
It will show you all notifications as they come in and any time you interact with your phone, be that by touching it, lifting it up, bumping the table or simply waving your hand at the phone like a Jedi master. You can then immediately interact with any of them.
You might miss the notification LED for a day or two but I seriously doubt you'll ever look back once you're used to it.
I like it here and there i own moto x pure and the z play, the moto x pure was my first moto phone with moto display, i was to used to the led notifications that when i looked at my phone and didnt see an led blinking i would think theres no notifications and that was an issue, but if i waved my hand over the phone i can see the app icons for notifications, so the issue was not seeing an notification alert at a glance, moto display has breath notification but idk if it just my deviced it dont last very long . Once i get a notification the moto display will breath for a few minutes then just stops.
At the end moto display does its job and it is pretty cool, but i still kinda miss the led here and there.

Thank you, guys. Hopefully there will be a setting which will allow me to keep the notifications active until I clear them.

That i beleive is because Moto X Pure has a LCD display and not an AMOLED screen. The breathing notification worked great on my Original Moto X.
And my Moto Z Play should be delivered tomorrow
So if I have a notification on Moto Display, will it 'breathe' on and off to tell me until I clear the notification, or will it just come on if I wave my hand over or move the phone?

I don't know if it's just me but i never caught my display to light with a old notification. Only when I get new ones or with some kind of movement.

That's a shame. I loved the LED on the Galaxy S6 which would flash a different colour with different notifications, so I could see what was going on from across the room.

I'm sure it'll be fine. (Better, though, if it always stayed on, so one didn't need to interact with the phone at all!)

Man, I was just using my wife's Pixel 6 and it has this cool feature where the first notification in the dropdown "list" is always "auto-expanded". Can the S20 do this somehow? I hate always having to expand each notification to take the subsequent actions that a lot of them have. For example, if someone sends me a text and I view its notification, I have to manually expand it to read all of it and then "mark as read". This is annoying if I have many notifications I have to go through. If there was a way to auto expand the top one, then as I go through each one, the top one is already expanded. Pixel 6 nails it. Samsung S20... so far... not so much.
