Display full screen picture on AOD - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi All,
I got my S8+ couple weeks ago and I am still try to figure everything out. After all, this is a totally different beast compare to my old Samsung Note2 (but still come with loads of bloatware...).
I was able to put my son's picture on Always On Display, but, for me, it's kind of small. Is there a way to display it with the full screen or even the half of the screen will be nice?

nope

Look mate i have a galaxy s7 edge with AOD since release. I opt for a pretty low backlight lightening. And i never ever hade a problem with burn in. Same goes with the s8+ or normal s8. Keep the backlight on a normal level and dont be worried.

You can use apktool to decompile /recompile : you need to edit values.xml change the first '400dip' to '650dip', then drag your own images into xxxDrawable, and finally edit the smali AODposition data change all iget for mCurY to mCurX. Once recompiled, drag old apk metaINFO, SECinf and androidmanifest from the open archive into the new archive (just open apks with winzip)

yeah this looks familiar, happens only if I fiddel with gpu voltage and speed..
the white flash is something everybody get from time to time

It happens to my P6800 from time to time though very rare.
I have not yet found out why and when happens it.
My guess is that it happens while surfing in stock browser
My device w/ PA 2.55 JB v4.1.2 custom rom modded by Daniel.
I have to admit that the both Androguide and Daniel made awsome job and let us have such a gift.
Anyone else?
i'm also have this problem and since that my acren look not have a good color depth o dont know if this just my imagination anyway mine happen when i played 10 pin bowling any auggestion on how to fix the issue?
Today I face this issue when working with stock file manager
Any solution/reason yet?
No solution yet, would you mind edit your post and supply what rom ure using?
I can trigger the inverted colors more often when uv the gpu, maybe a voltage glitch??
Normaly I experience it once every 2 months or so, but others might get it often..
hey guys that issue i posted above has no fix yet since it only appears rarely
i thinks it's a hardware glitch..after reflashing the latest ics fw i haven't had it again

The wstheme I have been editing has in the Texts folder a DATE_ITEM.png but I am unclear as to how this effects it other then background color

have you tried watch styler? you can load your watch face to watch styler then edit and add the date box where you like it. positioning isnt exactly precise.. but close enough
i use watch styler cuz i dont know how to edit spacing from the json.theme file.

Could not get it to open in WS for kept crashing the program but after a reboot of the phone I got it to open and got date close to were i want it, now if I could figure out how to make it rotate to 45° like the real face, its a neat learning experience

Phone stuck on blue square with time and date taking up half of screen

Occasionally, when I turn on my screen, the phone is stuck on a screen with a blue square taking up the top half of the screen, showing the time and date, with a clock icon. The bottom half of the screen is black. The phone is completely unresponsive to touch, and the only solution is to remove the battery and reboot.
Galaxy S5, running Lineage 14.1 (Android 7.1.2).
Does anyone have any idea what this is?
TIA!!

I didn't ask where you got it, I said for you to take your question/issue and go to that thread and post your question/issue there.

I had the same problem. What you see is the smart cover screen. It can be solved too. Go to your phone setting:
- Settings
- Connected Devices
- Smart cover
- Off

Thank you Erik-Jan!
It did work for me!
@Droidriven:
It is not dependent on that ROM, I have a different phone and Android P

I know it's crazy. What's going on that it needs that much ram?? I tried it again and it's still absurdly high. Pass on this. There's an overlay thread that you can add your own images too
Are there any edge clock always on display out there for grabs? I've been searching but in vain..
I would like to get this, but I don't like the fact that it has a 2 second delay to get to the homescreen.

Hi can you tell me where I can find the overlay thread to do this? I'm not able to get into substratum to check if it's there. Thanks

It happend today, i was on my phone. i put i down to go get something to eat and when i came back the bleed came. it's around the entire screen.
i haven't contacted HTC yet because i wanted to ask you guys and get your opinions first.
i haven't dropped it, i haven't thrown it after somebody. i've been looking after it.
Sorry for the unacceptable quality on the picture, it's taken with my work phone.
That's not good. RMA it if you can.
Did you get yours repaired? My u11 plus just did the same thing today. I am wondering if too much squeezing the edge sense warpped the screen.

It happened to me too: I was watching a film, checked phone and it presented the same symptom, but in always on display. Rebooted and same problem. After a little time (just 10 minutes or down there).
I am using edge function and it is no longer happened .

I think the last time it happened to me was in January.
It's a bit bizzar that it comes and goes like that, I still haven't figured it out what's causing it.
But it doesn't seem to be a problem any more so I'm not worried.
