I wanted to try out the app and it's really cool what it can do and how it looks but it drained my battery from 100% to 70% in two hours and I wasn't even touching the phone. It was just sitting on my desk.

I've been using the program for quite some time and have not seen a noticeable drop in battery life (had around a day before I installed, still around that much after). Probably depends on what widgets you place on your lockscreen/your usage? I only have mClock and a series of unread count widgets, so little to no extra data usage or monitoring (i.e., battery drainers) than normal...
k I will try it out... and test the battery life of my phone
EDIT:
It does what I want it to do, but I don't know how to turn off the default lockscreen.
Like, the widgetlocker lockscreen is perfect, but everytime i slide a slider, it takes me back to the default one...
And when i reboot the phone, it takes me to the default one...
And also I can't seem to find an option that forces you to input a pin...
Try goin into advanced in the WL menu n then check root bypass of 5 second rule that might help

In the settings, under buttons & inputs, if you enable Easy Wake Mode, it'll disable the stock lockscreen (supposed to be the equivalent of using the No Lock app).
Under behavior, select appear on boot. You will also need to either set up the HomeHelper launcher or the root bypass as mentioned before (also be sure retain system keyguard isn't selected under advanced).
As far as using a pattern/pin/password, you will still need to set that up under your normal security settings (so you slide to unlock WidgetLocker first and then see the security input screen). Depending on what type of security and what ROM you use though, you might still see the stock lockscreen first though (basically is you use a non-Sense ROM with pin or password security).

Try to go to the control panel, battery, cog (upper right corner) and disable the notification about apps draining battery. Maybe that's it.

Worked like charm
Introducing Pixel Pulse - a simple app to make your Ambient Display pulse when you have notifications!
Choose the interval and select the apps you want you to cause your screen to wake.
Optional paid features let you select different icons and colors for specific apps but the interval and app filter core functionality is all free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
If you had previously purchased Ambi-Turner, it has been updated for the new permissions, but because it was written for 8.0 and when Google's ambient display worked differently I decided to leave it as it is. You may however transfer your purchase status of Ambient Display to Pixel Pulse using both apps.

Paid customization adds the ability to always pulse (with a view that shows you that you have no important notifications), and the ability to select icons and colors for specific applications.
Screenshots are difficult because you can't screenshot the ambient display. I'll need to try and take actual photographs.
Seems like the settings don't save. Just updated the app and everything is set to pulse even though I removed some stuff :S

This is awesome. But is there a way you can maybe make the icon only pulse and be custom colors? Without showing the actual notification text? That would be amazing! But bought the paid one and I am using it now looks good on the wireless charger. :good:

The update somewhat fixed the timing issue but it still is off by 5 seconds. When setting the internal to 20 seconds it pulses after 15 seconds.
Edit: It seems that the timer starts when the notification pops up not when the notification disappears. Is this the way it is intended to work?

If you receive a notification from the app that you want the indicator for, it will show in the list of apps IF it can use the LED ring.
I know it's frustrating, but as your apps notify and trickle in, then you can change the notification color.

Be cautious enabling AoD. There's a well known bug where the proximity sensor isn't used outside of calls and AoD can frequently activate in your pocket, as well as opening up to the lockscreen, both of which drain your battery. Hopefully Samsung can fix the proximity sensor and pocket detection and then AoD can be enjoyed in all it's glory again.

Yeah that bug SUCKS! The only way I have found to not wake my phone in my pocket is disable AOD, and raise to wake. I haven't set it off once (that I know of) using just double tap to wake.
Chainfire put out a app tonight that once you setup your AOD you can turn it off and Holey Light still works. I was using AOE until tonight with the release of the helper app. The bad thing with AOE is you can't use your fingerprint from the all black screen but with the helper app and Holey Light your fingerprint works.
Here is the post with the helper app. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79317643&postcount=481
I know it's still very early beta but you can't select which apps?

I disabled double tap to wake as well cuz I've grown use to being very battery cautious from using a Nexus 6P with a failing battery. Still I was pretty annoyed about having to disable all those settings to keep the screen off in my pocket until I learned touching the fingerprint reader still works with the display completely off. At the very least, there is a little silver lining there.
And thanks for the info about the helper app, notification ring with screen off sounds pretty appealing since I've been using the stupid camera led flash setting with Tasker profiles to disable it with screen on and also disable it when in my car AND on the cars wireless charger, that way I don't bother other drivers.

AOD uses very little battery. It's designed to run all the time. It has very little impact on battery life across a whole day of use.

I'm not sure if you understand how it works. It does work without having to wake the device. It runs on the AOD. If you have AOD set to be always on, then the notification light will be always on.

Well i disable AOD coz its always on in pocket and does stupid things, drains battery, and getting that expended clock all the time which i need to swipe before i can even unlock phone.
Damn, hope Samsung fixes pocket detection soon, well, also adds native notification led replacement.
Will the app work while the screen is off if AOD is set to touch to activate?

Yes and no, if you have touch to show then you will only see the notification "led" when you wake it up.
Now if you use the helper app set your AOD to always show and then use this AOD theme without the clock http://apps.samsung.com/theme/ProductDetail.as?appId=minuhome.Starlight.aodonly&SITE_CODE=us
and set double tap to wake then when you receive a notification your lock screen comes on for a few seconds like normal then goes black with the notification "led" running untill you open your phone.
If you were to use my phone it works just like AOD is off, even in my settings AOD is turned off because the helper app now controls it.
So, i'm coming from a 6 and not having a notification LED sucks. Do you guys use any app for simulating a LED? If there was a way to put a tiny green blinking circle in the bottom, that would be awsome.
Thanks in advance.

Although "Notify Buddy" is a very nice app and works on Oneplus 7T i found out that it has a quiet high battery consumption. There are two other apps, that worked fine for OP 6T:
"Plus Beat"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vaf.vishal.plusbeat
"Pixel Pulse"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
They both need a workaround to be usefull on OP 7T:
- notification change to "important"
- enable popup on lockscreen
- disable "stealth mode" in app
Under this circumstandes they work fine!
Have fun with your new Oneplus!

I dont know another way. battery life is okay with plus beat, burn in depends on the frequency and time...
have a nice day!
Plus beat is much more battery friendly than nottify buddy.
There is no way to sey PB notifications to important, at least i don't see it. Android 10 on 7t here. But ir's working good with stealth mode disabled.
Not quite the same.. But I use an app called Glimpse, works perfectly for me, it lights the screen up when a notification comes In, I set mine to light the screen up for 30 seconds, gives me chance to read it unlike the oneplus light up screen setting which lasts for 8 seconds.
you can select apps for notifications.
you can set screen on time and you can set it to repeat alert until checked based on a time setting...
The app is light on background battery usage.
The app is also well supported on the Xda forums...
Couple of tips, turn off the built in oneplus light up screen setting or Glimpse will not work correctly.
Also consider turning off optimisation in the battery settings and locking the app, so that android does not close it down in the background.
The app is free and ad free from the Google store.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-glimpse-notifications-t3090575/amp/
I also use a xiaomi Mi band 4 with my oneplus 7t, I set my phone to silent, use the mii band app to send the watch notifications, via vibration from my selected apps, sooooo much better than the phone beeping loudly, it disturbs nobody, more zen like... Plus the Mi band 4 is low cost, very long battery life, Amoled screen, works wonderfully...
Plus the notification message can be partially seen on the Mi band.
Looks interesting. For now, plus beat does the job, but i would like for it to stop showing notifications after you see them in the status bar.
