Paranoid Android notification peek

This is paranoid android's notification peek in APK format. Almost same as active display if anyone wants to try it. https://github.com/lzanita09/Notifi...1.0-20140504/NotificationPeekPort-release.apk

It looks cool but I couldn't get it to work.

Looks really cool but doesn't work on GS4 mini 9190 running carbon rom
reverted back to active display

Link is dead. I had to actually look it up on Google just to see what it was. Overall, it looks nice seems to have quite a bit more functions over Motorola's Active Display. If I can find the .apk I may give it a go.
Latest Build
Found the latest build.
Just had a chance to mess with it. It works, but not real well. The screen wakes up when you get a notification but if you don't open the notification right then and there and let the phone go back to sleep it can not be reawakened just by moving the phone like Active Display. You actually have to turn the screen on via the power button and then unlock the phone to check the notifications bar. I did send myself a bunch of notifications and thought it was cool how I could swap between them. I wish Active Display allowed for that feature. Also, the icons are a lot nicer than Moto's Active Display. Overall, I think this app will be pretty cool once all the bugs are worked out of it.

That is the intended use of Peek - it is only active for 10 seconds after receiving a notification. In theory, the screen shouldn't wake at all unless you move the device within those ten seconds since it is designed for both IPS and AMOLED screens and prevents unnecessary screen-on time.

No what I mean is that with Motorola's Active Display if you wave your hand or move the phone after the notification screen time out it'll show you the notifications again. As long as you don't push the power button to wake and unlock it you can still view the notifications via the Active Display. With the Peek display you get the notification once and then that's it until the next notification. Moving the phone or waving in front of the proximity sensor won't rewake to check notifications from the peek screen.
Don't get me wrong, I like the PA Peek app, I just wish I could check the notifications indefinitely like I do the Active Display. I wish the Active Display would let you cycle through your notifications like Peek. I'll definitely keep an eye on the Peek app, hopefully they get it sorted to where you can wake it by moving the phone or waving across the proximity sensor.

[Q] customis the smart cover lock screen

Hi all,
I am using smart cover for my mate 7, my question is how can I customis or edit the smart cover lock screen to add for example extra page or open, dial, send SMS, open the open the call log or change the background!
Thanks

I had same question , tried many times but couldnt change smart cover picture . also i am unable to find smart lock ? having problem connecting bluetooth to my win 10 vaio, it is connected but i cant send data from phone to pc ! it fails . but i can receive from pc to phone.

Same problem for me with Lollipop on me MT7-LT10
I have upgrade my phone (in local) with the official B324 and i can't change the smartcover background, even when i try to change it by the theme menu, its always the picture with a bridge.
@ sabkt : the smart lock is for me in the "locksreen" menu in "other" section

One more here how we can change this ????

Same. I am done with Huawei. First they take years to update, we'll probably never even see Android 6. Their build quality equals total ****. I have had a replaced display by service center 2 TIMES NOW for screen bleed of whites and other lighter colors (in the middle of the screen, random places, etc. And then they manage to screw up one of the things they got right. The old clock and music player were amazing.

Same problem ... no solution???

Same problem here, and the impossibility to change the background it's very annoying

Whilst I wish I could change the picture, I don't miss music from the lock screen. I use PlayerPro and the built-in Music would override it on the lock screen plus it was forever randomly starting (Presumably I was catching the lock screen accidentally).

I having the Same problem too. After the update, I only can see miss call and message notification. I not able to see other than that to notification. Does anyone know how to configure this?

Same problems with me.
Is there some third party app which can to change default bridge picture theme on lolipop?

Also annoyed by this new lock. Want to at least be able to change wallpaper there.

This seems to be a general problem for Huawei/Honor phones.
I can not adjust anything on my Huawei G8 smart cover screen either. It's not the background picture that annoyes me, but that no notifications are display (except that the phone is ringing). Luckily I can switch off the smart cover screen. This way I can see the notification bar at least. Since I have enabled to show the notifications with a swipe over the fingerprint sensor I can view the top most notifications w/o opening the cover.

Hi all,
Try the EMUI Theme Editor app on google play - i havent used it myself for the SmartCover, but it has got an option to change Smart Cover background. Has alot of other useful tools to change EMUI.

black circle blinking around the front camera

Hi guys,
I have the Note 10 plus and my wife bought last week the note 10 lite.
The lite have a circle around blinking around the front camera and the plus don't have this.
I searched everywhere and din't find an answer about what is that....
Any help?!

Did you buy the 10 lite used? I have a 10lite with aod notify installed it shows a ring around camera for notifications. So if you bought it used maybe its installed. Other than that not sure. Camera also has a lighted ring when you switch between front camera and rear camera, but its white.

No. It's brand new.
And I have the AOD notify in my Note 10 plus.
It's like a sensor. And just happens with the screen on.

The animation around the front camera appears when you are set to face unlock.

And it only appears to me when face unlock is on

same thing
Same situation here, it has nothing to do with face unlock or notification system, tried everything, always the same thing. Its like popping up around front camera every 5-6 seconds when on lock screen, and sometimes when scrolling through certain apps. Maybe some kind of camera-cut-out-pixels protection? Its an odd software behavior without any explanation from Samsung.

Maybe your smart stay is turned on, try to disable it under Motion and Gestures in the settings.

It appears during a video call too, and looks like a larger circle, like that one the other samsung products.
Also sry, for being off topic, i wanted to know how is your s pen working, because the nib of mine feels a little loose.

It is as @j.canlas mentioned. Smart Stay is tuned on, it checks if you are facing directly on the screen or not (to lock the display). I also kept on searching for what it was when the device was new to me, it bothered me a lot.
You can disable/enable it under Settings > Advanced Features > Motions and Gestures.

This is the correct explanation for the infrequent circle around the camera.

Question Stuck pixel only when fingerprint icon displayed

Hey there yes as the title says i am seeing a very tint green dot(stuck pixel maybe) on my screen. But the thing is it's only shows when the fingerprint icon is displayed (AOD/lockscreen) as soon as I unlock the phone its working fine. i checked with app or any dark background it's not there, only shows when fingerprint icon shows up . Could it be a software glitch?

Only way to know is to fully format your phone with Odin since it replaces your entire software.

Thank you for the reply. I don't wanna try flashing it's a new device so

That's weird. The color and appearance looks like the indicator when microphone or camera is on at the upper right corner of the display. Seems to be a software issue. Can you tell us what firmware is installed and is your phone rooted eg ?

It's the latest August patch. No my phone is not rooted. It's only shows when fingerprint is enable or the fingerprint icon is showing. As soon as I unlock the phone it dissappears.

What model is your phone sm-a536 N,B,0,U1... and the firmware version ? You can find these under settings-->phone info-->software info
If there is a connection to the fingerprint scanner or symbol you can try to patch it under: settings-->biometric data security-->more biometric settings-->patch
Further you may deactivate the fingerprint indicator on aod under settings-->biometric data security-->fingerprints-->show symbol when screen is off to see if the green spot disappears on aod
This should help to figure it out.

Model number is SM-A536E/DS
Yes the green dot disappear if i disable the fingerprint sensor.
Greendot always shows when ever fingerprint icon is displayed no matter where AOD/ or in APP

Went to the service centre today for a replacement letter but they wouldn't provide it saying it so tiny and small issue wasted my time there.

Did you patch the fingerprint software ?
Since the green dot only appears when fingerprint icon is showing or sensor is active it must be a software issue. Definitely not a dead or stuck pixel, normally they are dark or white all the time so your display should be good.
You can go to settings--> software-update to check if there is a newer version for you available and provide the installed firmware like already mentioned. If there is no working patch for the fingerprint software and no new update for your device you have to wait for the next firmware update since you already got the newest august security patch.

Question Bug with proximity sensor

Hi guys,
It often happens to me that screens shuts off when I try to click on top tier of screen, it's really annoying especially with full screen apps.
I recently put on screen protector film but I don't know if it's due to this.
Anyone has this problem ?
Many thanks.

Are you rooted and using [MOD][Xposed+Magisk][Pre-Release] AOSP Mods - System modifications for AOSP-based Android 12+'s option to double-tap the status bar to sleep? If so, it might be related to that setting. I was trying to reproduce a different bug, playing a full-screen landscape YouTube video and I found almost every time I tried to make the status bar appear and then drag it down, I accidentally shut the screen off.
Luckily for me, I rarely try to do something like that while in a full-screen landscape app, so I'm keeping that setting on.
If you're not rooted or not using that Magisk Module, then ignore this.

I'm not.
It happens even whith WhatsApp when I select a message in a conversation and try to click on delete icon located in top screen, screen shuts off.
Where is the promixity sensor ?

I'm not really sure. I just unlocked my P7P and ran my finger across the status bar, back and forth and I never found it.

Meanwhile, the cutout for the proximity sensor has been slightly tweaked again and is more to the right of the front-facing camera than last year’s Pro phone.

I have the same problem. TMobile Visual Voicemail has its delete button just below and to the right of the front camera and the screen turns off before I can delete the playing voicemail. I have to go back to the full list of voicemails and delete from there.
