For me one of the most useful apps since the huawei watch has no sensors.
Its a little bit tricky at first, but with a little bit of practice, this will work fine. Dont forget to set the correct possition fields in the smartphone app.
Works like a charm.

Thanks, what an awesome little app! Since you've played with it more, what are the smaller boxes at the top and bottom of the position screen are for? Ideally I'd like the slider to work across the top of the watchface, but I haven't been able to figure that out yet.
Also, in your video, you say you can customize it to show the percentage or not. The percentage shows for me, but I don't see any options to customize it at all.
No go here, installed and I can turn the brightness down but not up again. To make things worse, a cold reboot is needed to get viewable brightness (aw 1.5 stock)

It's cool but I feel it's just faster to press the button 3 times to temporary increase the brightness. Hopefully there's a light sensor on the HW2..

The triple tap doesn't work for me. Is there something special you have to do to enable it?

Not that i know of. Mine's completely stock, btw (v1.5).
EDIT: just so we're clear, you're not tapping on the screen, are you? I was referring to the metal button on the side. Press that quickly 3x and it'll increase the brightness.

Thanks, it does work after all. There just wasn't much difference with my watchface to notice the difference.
this was a good app recommendation ...
great app, and it goes darker then brightness 1 so already removed the other app I used for bedroom use
Hi,
I need a way to color some pixels in white, and I need them to always be white.
In fact, I have a Zenfone 2 551ml. There is a bug: the bottom half of the screen sometime flickers and shows verticals lines. It is a known bug, and it is a HW problem.
But I have found that when the line between the working half and the glitchy half has at least one white pixel, the glitchy half works just fine.
It is weird, isn't it? I know my phone needs to be repaired, but I'm not a home, so a temporary solution would be fine.
I can use root apps if needed.
So does anyone know how to color some specific pixels, and how to have them always colored (on the lock screen, on any application...)?
Thank you
I use a white wallpaper. The settings and search windows work too.
man i registered specially to thank you >>> i used an app called "Overlays - Float Everywhere" to make a whitte dummy overlay across the blinking borders and it worked!!! thank you very much

Thank you for discovering this app! I now use it too, the only problem is that the dummy overlay can't be thin enough :/ But it still fix the bug
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

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 ??

Great... Apparently not available in my country (Denmark).... But does any of you recognize my previous description about edgelighting....???

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.

Ok so this really isn't the biggest thing or issue but I was curious if anyone else has this issue, Ok so with air view with the s pen you can hover over certain things and it will Pop up a little window with some text either explaining What it is or where it goes etc. but when I upgraded to one Ul 2.0 android 10 the text changed color from normal black to a very light cyan or light blue, so light I can't see the text at all anymore. Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix for this, any help or input would be very much appreciated!
Here's a quick screenshot.
I have seen this sometimes when applying light color themes

Ah, Yup that's what it is thank You very much. That kind of sucks you can't change the color of the text itself tho but at least now I know what it is, thanks again!

I like the MIUI wallpaper movie feature but would prefer the option of using custom movies. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything online, so in case anyone else is wondering.....
/sdcard/MIUI/.videowallpaper/
Copy and paste your homemade vids in there and then enable via the themes app. I was concerned the 4k vid might not work or even cause an issue like the sRGB one mentioned earlier, but I spun the wheel and I'm still here. Also, I'm on A9 MIUI 10 so there's a good chance it works on newer firmwares as well.
Thank you so much man! You're a real legend [emoji123][emoji108]!....I am using Seán Doran's The Pearl 4k here.

@wang1chung Themes app stops abruptly upon applying the video wallpaper now. Previously so far it was working perfectly. How to resolve?

I've noticed it's a little glitchy, specifically if you try to have one vid for the lock screen and another for the home screen. The resolution gets stretched instead of cropped.
What did you change since it worked? Does it crash with all vids, even the stock ones? Maybe try clearing the app data and starting again. Are you on A9? I'm using themes app v1.5.09

So I was able to successfully two different videos as my lock and home screens respectively (I edited the Lunasa 4k video which was originally in 1080x1080, into 2340x1080 i.e. my current screen resolution) but the problem with the lock screen one is that it restarts with every screen wake-up which is kinda annoying. I wished it would keep running in the background when the screen's turned off. That'd be what I want.
As for the Themes app version, it's v1.6.0.6. I'm on A10, MIUI 11.0.4. Global.

The video restart issue makes sense for battery saving but if you don't mind that, I wonder if it the AOD mod might help?
I think the resolution changes might be causing issues as the ones available through the themes app are 1080x1920.

How do I execute the AOD Mod and where to get it? I have the AOD Pro v4.4.8 btw but that's not the one u referring to here, right? Please help me run the video in b/g.
Nah, my screen resolution is 1080x2340 so 90% of themes (if not all) are optimized for this resolution only as the wallpapers fit perfectly on my screen top to bottom.

I remembered having a weird issue when I enabled ambient displays "always on mode" along with the lock screen movie. I thought it was what you were asking for but I just re-did it to confirm and it's not. The lock screen video is resuming where it last was right before it powered off. You said you didn't like it restarting, how about pausing?

Yea, my current lock and home screen video (which is the same) are already pausing when I turn off screen (and AOD turns on or even when it's off) and resuming from there when I come to home screen or lock screen which is perfectly fine as it should be and that's what I want actually. I don't want a single second of this beautiful ISS video to be gone during screen off. Although, the problem arises, somehow, when I try to select different videos for each of the screens. Then the lock screen one restarts and the home screen keeps pausing and resuming as it should. I'll try again once more else I'll keep this already-perfect single video aka "The Pearl 4k" by Seán Doran. [emoji847]
