I saw many people struggling to get it working.
Some suggesting to use with magisk module. But I got it to work without root.
So here's the steps to get it.
Steps :
1) Install latest wellbeing apk from apkmirror.com or attachment
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...wellbeing-0-2-207862754-android-apk-download/
2) Install Nova launcher (just needed to create shortcut)
You can use this app for shortcut too https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.actionlauncher.pixelshortcuts
3) Go to homescreen on your launcher and long press
4) Go to widgets and search for "Nova activities"
5)Scroll down and look for Digital Wellbeing in the list and tap on it
6) select ".home.TopLevelSettingsActivity" from the list of activities in digital wellbeing
First thing done. Now to permission.
Search for Digital wellbeing or wellbeing in apps and ensure all permissions are granted.
Lastly
1) open settings
2) search for usage access
3) allow wellbeing access
Done.
Now to see the app click on shortcut firstly created and you can see the dashboard working.
Hit thanks if I helped.

Tried it.. works as described! Thanks
Thank you! It works great!
Yes, it works, but if you don't want to use nova, then you don't need. I'm using Oneplus Launcher. You just need to use this app from Play Store to create shortcuts for Digital Wellbeing

I updated OP
Most, but not all, of the features will work if you install it this way. For some of the app's features, it needs privileged permissions to work.
working as OP stated thanks
after just ativate "show in the app list" and it will be showned in the drawer
Much appreciated mate, it worked now!
Jesus Christ ?
Latest update gives you the option to show the app in the drawer. Get it from apkmirror.

Title says "NO ROOT".
does it mean that we can only access to digital wellbeing on 3rd party launcher?
if its this easy to install why doesnt oneplus just include it in their update?
Many thanks, worked as described!

Hi,
Important : Requires ROOT
This is a simple App that emulates the click of Power Button.
Handy when u want to reduce wear and tear of the physical button or if the button is not working.
Currently the following method of Trigger are available:
- Using the Swipe Up Assist action which usually opens the Google Now App
- Application icon (In Launcher)
- Shortcut
- Intent Support - Use 'in.pathri.screenoff.SCREEN_OFF' as Intent action to trigger screen off from ANY App, including TASKER
Following are planned to be added:
- Widget (Is it Needed?? )
- Tasker Extension
Advantage over other similar apps in Market:
The usual 'Screen Off' 'Screen Lock' Apps that are available in market, makes the 'Smart Lock' feature introduced in Lollipop not work. Also this makes the timeout period set in the 'Automatically Lock' security settings to not work.
Since my App uses shell commands (and hence the need for Root) to emulate Power Button press, both Smart Lock and 'Automatically Lock' settings work.
Disclaimer:
AFAIK should not cause any problems in any device since nothing dangerous is being used. But still the usual disclaimer : ' I am not responsible for any damage done to your device, hand, home etc... LOL '
Have tested so far in the following Mobiles. Would be glad if others test it out in various mobiles and report here.
Nexus 5
HTC One X
Change Log:
v0.1 - 5th Jan:
- Initial Version with only Google Now Swipe gesture support
v0.2 - 8th Jan:
- Added the following:
Application launcher
Shortcut
Intent Support : 'in.pathri.screenoff.SCREEN_OFF'
v1.0 - 18th Jan:
Modified code to support more Devices. Probably must work in all Android devices irrespective of Android Version
v1.1 - 20th Jan
Shouldn't be showing in recents anymore
v1.2 - 20th March
Added icon for the swipe up gesture
Fixed a bug that was causing adding shortcut to crash in certain launchers(AFAIK GEL based)
v2.0b - 30th March
Adding a new material icon - thanks to @slider112

AFAIK, If we use tasker to screen off, it will immediately lock and would not respect the Smart Lock feature. Please correct me If am wrong.
Regarding the gesture bringing up the magazine app, have u configured the swipe up gesture do that by default ? Or After installing this App,the swipe up gesture got assigned to it?

Oh..ok.. Then I Guess the swipe up gesture you are talking might not be the one I am referring to. The gesture I am referring to usually triggers Google Now /Google search
Does the gesture that opens the magazine app, work on custom launcher?? If no, I Guess that gesture is part of Samsung launcher and can't be overridden without launcher replacement

Regarding overriding the swipe up gesture in ur Note 3 , I think it might be possible with an Xposed module. I have never written one, so not Sure. I am ready to try to make a Xposed module, If it's ok for u to test it out in ur mobile (have no previous experience in writing Xposed module, so a word of caution )
I have tried that mod already it doesnt replaes the gesure action.

Hi guys I searched forum and there's no any evidence how get access to live wallpaper in s7 android 7 samsung removed but you access by a third party app name is (live wallpaper shortcut) and it is free on play store and another app called (lwp manager pro) it was free and good and play decided to remove it I don't know why but I have the app and I can create a apk file if xda allow me to share don't worry it not a warez app but it was a was free pro app at first time if want to know.
ok hope this post help a lot and I have a special gift for christmas.
update: I find some evidence that might help my post check the link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/app-7-0-live-wallpaper-picker-home-lock-t3503347
If using Nova Launcher, Long press the homescreen > Wallpapers > scroll right to live wallpapers
Those live wallpaper shortcut apps are still available on the play store, no need to upload apks
I don't use nova I prefer original launcher and use a app to access live wallpapers (lwp manager pro removed from play store) or you can use (live wallpaper shortcut).
samsung get a little unkindness in android 7 I don't why but I I think in Android 8 will be add this I hope.

New app from Chris Lacy (Action Launcher Dev) allows any device running Android P to run Digital Wellbeing.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.actionlauncher.pixelshortcuts
I'm not sure if this will work on devices running anything below Android 9.
All credit to Chris Lacy.
Enjoy!
This app adds only shortcuts for wellbeing app and other pixel stuff to the home screen.
There is no way to run the wellbeing app on other devices than pixels running android 9
As the developer says: ** Please be aware that Pixel Shortcuts will not magically make a non-Pie, non-Pixel device able to run the Digital Wellbeing app. **
Digital Wellbeing is not even working on DP3!?
I can start it, but ot Shows no information ...

It works on P Beta on OnePlus 6 and Essential Phone (probably other devices running P too). You need to install Digital Wellbeing (Beta) from Play Store first (https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.apps.wellbeing)

I found the apk through a Google search and installed it. Works fine.
Why isn't there the timer app function working for the op6? Or do I have something to do?
Bumb?
I've figured out!
Sorry for the big bump but I've figured out how to use Digital Wellbeing on Essential phone up to date as of today. It may work on other devices running SDK 28+ too (as Manifest suggests).
First I've downloaded the latest version from the internet (v 1.0.230918304 when writing)
Next I've installed a custom activity launcher (Activity Launcher on Google play for example) and launching the Digital Wellbeing activity named 'com.google.android.apps.wellbeing.settings.TopLevelSettingsActivity
It will open the Wellbeing dashboard. At the bottom of the screen, I've checked "Show I con in the app list" and voilà!
For now Wind down seems to be broken.
Hope it helps.
It works.
But how about the wind down?
I'm sharing another Tasker made app with one simple purpose: get you into the hidden App Notifications menu so you can change notification sounds. As many of you know this menu is not accessible through system settings. There are many methods of accessing it, including Nova, Tasker, or other shortcut managers but they all require work and a bit of knowledge. This app makes it simple for anyone. Even advanced users may find it handy.
It does not require root or any special privilege. Simply launch the app to enter the App Notification menu. This accesses the built in Android notification management system and is simply the best way to manage your notification settings.
Please hit thanks if you find it useful ?
(Because of the nature of this workaround it will only work on the official EMUI 8.1 release for now. No custom ROM or beta support, sorry. Once I've updated to 9 I'll share the new fix if necessary. I have Canadian L04 model though and updates happen here slowly)
Not working for me (P20 Pro EMUI 9 Beta). App doesn't launch when tapped.

I don't have 9 yet but I'd assume you'll find it in settings under Notifications where it should be. AFAIK it was unintentionally left out in 8.1 which is why we had trouble. If it's included in 9 a simple search through settings should reward you. ?
Works perfect, thanks!
Works perfect.

Apparently you do not understand what we're trying to accomplish. You cannot change notification sounds in the menu you refer to in EMUI 8, only turn them off. But there is a secret hidden menu that allows to change any notification sound for any app you like. It may look similar to the one you are thinking of but if you know what you're doing it is very different, there are far more options available. You cannot get to this menu by any other means than sending an intent, whether via command, a shortcut from a launcher or an app like I've shared. Trust me, there is a purpose for this or I wouldn't have so many thanks for it already. But if you're okay with having the same notification sound for every single app on your phone that's cool too. Whatever floats your boat. ?
We can use Nova Launcher to create a shortcut that link to this Notification settings in this thread.

You can use Nova Launcher to do this, yes. Other methods all involve installing a shortcut creation app of some kind and finding the correct settings entry. This app is for people who do not use Nova or would prefer a simple method with the hard work done for them. It's a pain digging through all those settings entries if you don't need to. ?

Anyone get the digital wellbeing App to work on the Nord. It worked on OP5 but won't work on OP7T as well. Anyone know why?
Answer found how to open the actual wellbeing app but there is no icon in the settings menu you have to search for it to open why is there no app icon. You can only open it in settings via search and you have to keep searching for it manually to open it.
