Custom Facewidgets/apps on AOD - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello All,
Is there any way of configuring the AOD to have custom application widgets (FaceWidgets)? Basically, what I want to do is to have buttons for Philips Hue lights. This would be nice and faster than having to unlock the cellphone and moving to the screen were I have the Philips Hue widgets. Thanks!!

[Q] LED control

Hey guys I'm new to this phone from the LG Optimus G. I have a question about the Led light. I was using light flow but it couldn't successfully change the color it change the blink frequency but I tried to make the notification for hangouts blue but it was purple. Does anyone know a different app or what colors the LED supports? Thanks guys!
Hi,
I don't use Light Flow, but maybe take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517430. You can ask in this thread, the dev of Light Flow is here.
For another apps there is Light Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager&hl=fr (I used it) or Led Blinker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ledblinker&hl=fr (not tested).
Maybe others but these are the most known...
Some custom ROMs allow for the customization of LED, check there. Omni ROM is one that comes to mind.

Notification LED

Yo can anyone fill me in on this ^ I watched loads of reviews but not one person goes into detail about it, Ino Notification lights aren't anything new so it makes sense they wouldn't mention it but what about the people who are new to Sony phones. Samsung is all I no mostly the note series.
Anyone who owns the phone up for making a quick video on the Notification LED? I'm mainly interested in what colors it can be because on my current phone (Note 3) it can only be Red, green and Blue and i think White. but apps like light flow let me mix these colors together to create new colors. However the new colors dont look very good. Years ago I had a Sony walkman phone it wasn't Android but it lit up at the sides when I got a notification and it could be all kinds of colors, real colors! It was well cool. I'm hoping the Z3 LED will be just as cool.
Hopefully that made dome sense.
Haven't got the time to make a video but I installed lightflow lite and created a custom notification setting.
Sure enough the led tries to match the settings I choose under custom color (although not 100% accurate but still).
The notification led on this phone is pretty small, especially compared to the nexus.
Hope that helps.
..via Z3
I haven't paid too much attention to the led but i have seen it green, blue, and i think amber also
Notification LED is a full color LED, color rendition is so lala, not too precise.
Especially white has a bluish tint.
Cheers everyone

[Q] Dark notification screen when locked

Hi All,
So, yesterday i have flashed the CM12 rom on my opo. All great, I specially like the lockscreen notifications.
Now I also have the ambient display option which makes the screen light up when a notification arrives, but it is a really low brightness when that happens. The screen comes on but I can only read the notification when im in total darkness. Is there something to do about that?
Thanks, Daniel

Different types of lock screens in themes?

Hi everyone,
browsing through some theme previews, it appeared to me that there are different types of lock screens in the various EMUI themes. Which would only make sense considering that by default, you can choose between a "standard" lock screen and the "magazine" lock screen.
If that's the case, I'm wondering if someone can recommend a theme with a lock screen that has the clock at the bottom, not at the top of the screen, just like the magazine lock, but without the changing pictures. I'd like to use a custom background picture on my lock screen, but when doing so with magazine lock activated, the background picture becomes so dark it's almost impossible to see. This doesn't happen with the standard lock screen, but the clock at the top obscures a part of the image that I'd like to see when unlocking my phone.
Thanks for your help!

Notification light without Ambient Display On possible?

Hi everyone,
I've recently bought a Oneplus 7 Pro and to my shame I did not read beforehand that it does not have a notification LED.
I've also seen that the pulsating lines on the sides of the screen only appear when Ambient Display is on.
Sadly I am not a fan of Ambient Display and also do not want my phone lighting up each time I get a notification, I prefer it to remain more subtle
Does anyone know if there is any App that would trigger those lines for notifications but without requiring Ambient Display? (maybe running without it as an accessibility service and thus having permissions also on the lockscreen?)
Thank you!
