When the phone is docked/plugged in and "stay awake" is checked, the screen saver app would come on and display a pre-determined live wallpaper. All the foreground objects (icons, widgets, status bar) would disappear, leaving just the live wallpaper to do its thing.
Seems simple enough. Is there any existing app that does this? I searched the market and couldn't find anything.
Further advancement to this app can include customizations to the screen saver beyond a live wallpaper, such as displaying the time, displaying news/RSS feeds, making your foreground objects bounce around, anything like that. It would make my phone much cooler when sitting on the desk at work, rather than staring at a blank, dead screen.
I'd like this also!

I would like to get the "Pixel flow" making the clock stay and appearing all other elements like Google phones do when waking from aod.
After days of searching for a way to force proper full screen mode WITHOUT the thick black bar I finally found one. However, it puts all notification/status icons already on the left under the camera. I'm so close to a perfect solution but this one thing is in my way.
Ideally I'd like to move all icons right but messing with the padding might be a good plan B.
Please help. It's driving me mental.
If you are referring to any notification icon and/or the clock, there really isn't any way to move those without doing a bunch of work on a rooted device creating your own theme basically. Also what thick black bar are you talking about for fullscreen? the bars are only present if whatever is being displayed isn't a 20:9 ratio. so any 16:9 (like most 1080p) media will get the bars. but everything else should be full screen by ensuring Setting>Display>Advanced>Front camera display area is on the right setting.

That's disappointing.
I have managed to move the clock to the right with edXposed via Gravitybox. It's just notifications now. Don't suppose you'd know if it's possible to disable the icons but still have notifications for those apps show up in the notification drop-down?
And that camera display area, when enabled, is the black bar I'm talking about. It's unsightly and a waste of space. Using the mod I found, all apps but Ookla Speed Test fill the ENTIRE to screen beautifully with no essential UI elements blocked by the camera. Landscape or portrait.

Only thing I can think of for the notifications is make them all "Other" instead of important. you would have to do that per app and per notification type that each app shows. Long clicking them in the drop down gives you the option to change it there. But that also means you need to enable "important and other notifications" on lock screen if you want them to show up there.; however, I can't find a way to allow "other" notifications to display on the Ambient display. I do use the AOD notify app and that could be a nice workaround for that as that will still light up for notifications that are labeled as "other" over the Ambient display and you can then color code each app to what you want.

Thanks for the tip. I changed the media apps I use to not important and that seems to have taken care of my issue for the most part.
Its not a perfect solution but it's the best and most helpful so far. Thank you, mate.

Hey @shadowofdeth, I have bought the OP8 recently and I too wish to reduce the height of the status bar(I don't mind the punch hole using the app space since most apps have the logo only at the top left). You said you have used a mod to reduce the space. Was it the edXposed or is it something else? Thanks in advance
I'd like to take advantage of the edge lighting in my Samsung to color-code information. So, instead of having to unlock my phone, the edge lighting notification will tell me what it is (I know the meaning of each color). To give a simple example, take the weather: edge lighting in blue for rain, yellow for sunny, and red for extreme weather.
It'd be nice to do this without having to send a notification each time, just have the phone change edge color throughout the day; not periodically with the same colors in sequence (that's a traffic light or Christmas tree), but as a function of an information feed. The closest that I could find was this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edgenotification.codevida.com.edgenotification
An optional notification message would be nice, but I'd like to control when it happens, so I'm not flooded with notifications. Basically, I would like to use my phone as a discreet notification system, so I can go about my day without necessarily opening the phone too often; only when certain colors come up.
Any ideas on how to do it? Where can I find sample code on how to control the edge lighting?
Thanks
Lol, if it lights up at all you'll be lucky... it pretty much does what it wants.

Hi guys, I'm one of the biggest fans of AOD in Samsung devices. I used to use the Numeric clock, but after a while I decided to switch to the Wall Clock, because of how it's beautiful and I accustomed to it from my childhood, though the Numeric Clock is way more practical.
Anyway, I just want to ask, if the Wall Clock does consume way more battery than the Numeric Clock, because the Seconds' Hand is moving every second like if it was running a video. While the Numeric one is just changing the number every one minute, and even it have some delay, when you compare it to another device , you will notice the clock delay in the Numeric one, so it saves way more battery because it doesn't refresh every second like the Wall Clock.
TLDR My question is, does the Wall Clock consume way more batter than Numeric Clock, or they are almostly similar?
Analog is so much better... the brain isn't digital.
Power consumption after control circuit is dictated by the number of pixels lite.
Nominal power consumption with auto brightness on should be:
Always on* >1%@hr
Tap on* >.5%@hr
If higher it's because of background apps running that shouldn't be.
This is with phone, texting and internet enabled.
Stats are from my Note 10+ running on Pie.
Analog clock, thin profile with dots and a second hand.
Google backup Transport, Framework, Firebase and Google play Services disabled.
Although I suspect the power consumption is the same regardless of color, I haven't tested that.
Green is where human vision sensitivity peaks so it appears brightest at the same lumen intensity. The human eye is least sensitive to red.
Blue pixels age the fastest, red the slowest if display longevity is a concern.

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to have notifications when my screen is off (i miss so much the led i had on my OP6).
I've tried AOD but i don't want to have, all the time, the hour on my phone.
I just want that, when the screen is off and, for example, i have a message, i have a little notification on this screen. Nothing else.
How can i have that please?
Thanks
There are a few apps such as this one that may be what you're looking for:
NotifyBuddy - Notification LED - Apps on Google Play
Missing LED notifications on your phone!? Worry not!
play.google.com
AlwaysOnEdge -Notification LED - Apps on Google Play
Notifications edge lighting, AOD, Animated wallpapers, Charging indicator & more
play.google.com
No affiliation to either app.
Hi,
thanks for the answer, i'm gonna try that even if i'm a little worried about battery drain
I thought this kind of notification was possible with this android stock version i have. I thought i just didn't find the way to configurate it. How is it possible that OP gives us the possibility to have AOD with the clock and notifications but not just the notifications, without the clock... ? :/
In your opinion, what drains less battery? OAD with a minimalist clock or one of those Led app?
