I just added Lockscreen widgets to my app TouchLight which makes it pretty sweet.
Why not just use an led toggle in the notifications? Good question anon, the lock screen widget gives you access to multiple on screen lights as well as the led. It also turns down the screen brightness and works really well for being able to toggle the light on and off as often as you like.

Hope you all like the app.

The LED is tricky, lots of devices have a lot of different quirks with them so make sure your issues are not devices specific. When I was programming the LED stuff awhile ago I remember having the opposite problem.
I don't know about getCamera() and don't see anything about it in the docs. I use camera = Camera.open() (the rear camera is the default). I have to release the camera (camera.release()) on pause or else it caused problems with the stock camera app. To turn the light on I set the flash mode, parameters and then startPreview. I found this to work on the most devices. Some devices like autoFocus to be set also but a greater amount hate it.
Also remember that you have to give your users a way to turn it off when the app is not opened. I would recommend a notification. If they have to reopen your app through multitasking to turn it off that's a "fail, one star, uninstall" type of a thing.
Hello,
We already can use the fingerprint sensor to open and close the notification panel and I would know if it is possible to use it for others utilities like for example touch the sensor to come Bach to the home screen.

Yes, we can. But we need an app like fingerprint gestures to do it. It's better with root.

I don't know if this is a "bug or feature" type of situation, but I just got my brand new Poco F2 Pro and I noticed that the colors in the lock screen are washed out. I deleted all the registered fingerprints from the Settings and suddenly the colors are... colorful again.
So, is this a bug that Xiaomi can fix with a software update, is it a hardware issue, or is it intentional and necessary for the fingerprint sensor to work?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
i can confirm this phenomena
Correct observation.
Don't know the reason but probably a bug not solved with Miui 12.
It did this on MIUI 11 as well just not as noticeable. It drives me insane tbh, especially the quick settings menu. Can't even take a pic of it. I've tried a handful of lockscreen themes and found one that is bearable as it let's you tint the lockscreen.
I see it too
Same here.
Did you use advance color gamut setting instead of auto? I noticed this when color gamut option is not set to auto.
Make sure if you're using dark mode, in settings/display/dark mode you don't have wallpaper darken... This creates a washes out look
I have experienced this too and have found no surefire workaround. However, what does seem to be more effective is if you set your wallpaper through the options in the settings menu and not through a launcher (like Nova for instance). It reduces the grainy quality of the lockscreen, but the image is still not the best.
I dont think its a bug, since in-display fingerprint reader needs a very bright light-source, the display itself will illuminate to the max for the fingerprint scanner to works, which is essentially the same as "sun-mode". In that mode, all color will look bad.
Same I felt it today...I faced then I went to shop they wiped out my data :3 when I setup my wallpaper and the fingerprint it's happening like before..and there's another bug on dark mode as well ,when you lower your brightness completely,the settings font will start its color fading :crying:

Auto mode actually gives a better contrast to the lock screen wallpaper than Advanced, I didn't realize. ?

Unfortunately, I don't think it's a bug either. What doesn't make sense to me is that the entire screen needs to have these washed colors for the fingerprint sensor to work. It's such a small part of the screen, why wash out everything?
I saw it too. I was using Advanced Color Gamut option. Then I switched to "Saturated" and it solved it.
Unfortunately that didn't work either.
Strange thing is that it doesn't happen on my 9T Pro.

I have no idea why tho.. Im guessing maybe it have something to do with "Sun mode" kinda "overclock" the entire display when fingerprint-reader need to, and then switch back to normal display mode right after.
But that kinda defeats one of the OLED key-strength, being able to lights-up individual pixel instead of lighting whole screen. Doesnt make sense to me either..
We need to report this from the miui developer guys its so annoying especially when you're in a dark room or room with lights off

If you used other Xiaomi devices you'd know it didn't happen before.. I hope it's not a hardware thing.
Disabled my fp at least for now. Can't enjoy a brand new phone with these washed out colours.
Ahhh. So it's not just mine lol. I played with so many different settings trying to fix this crap. I gave up lol

I agree with you, as this behaviour didnt happen on my Mi 9T Pro, although I suspect it could have caused by both "sun-mode" and Xiaomi decision to use white-light for fp illumination instead of turquoise-like color on previous model. Im still using it, for convenience anyway.
In my experience it is just happened with gamut color option, with other color option it is no issue. My super mars wallpaper look amazing.
I have recently been with the Poco F2 Pro with MiUI 12 (I never used MiUI 11 with it) and I noticed that on the lock screen it has a gray filter that when unlocking disappears, it is a bit annoying, does anyone know if it is possible to disable it? It is not for ewl dark mode or anything, I tried to search for everything and could not find any option regarding this
PS: sorry for my english
Are you sure it is not due to light for fingerprint scanner?

It is not the light, it is a filter that covers the entire screen very dim
True it kind of looks like a pixel filter. My guess is to save battery life for those wanting to look at the clock? Just a guess though!
No one knows why it's there.. Only appears when fp is on.. And it's not related to light because other xiaomi devices doesn't have it. At least past devices.
Howdy!
I am trying to set that when I receive a message, it will show a small notification light on the mobile, like I used to have on previous android, but cannot find any option for it...
Is it possible that a so modern phone does not have it?
Thanks

There's physically no led notification light anywhere on the phone that could light up.
You can search for apps on the Play Store that sort of try to imitate having one, but afaik none of them work reliably anymore.

"lackness"
I'm fairly sure that it's been dropped industry-wise for many many years now, much like the 3.5mm jack.
Ambient/Always-on-Display is sort of a replacement for having a notification light though, might want to look deeper into configuring it. I think there's also 3rd party apps that let you configure your AOD even further.

You can be right again, maybe I am old fashioned but I found it useful.
I initially deactivated the AOD for reducing distractions, but I can activate it again if this is only way to see notification without pushing power button to activate screen again

Don't get me wrong, I used to be an absolute sucker for an led notification light.
Keep in mind that AOD and Ambient Display aren't the same. AOD, as the name suggests, keeps the screen always on, whereas Ambient Display just wakes the screen whenever you receive a notification. I only have the latter turned on.

most phones now doesn't have big bezels not only 6a. so where will you put that notification light? the best you can do.. use a rom with an oldschool feature, that will blink flashlight for notification. like this..

There are actually several phones out that also don't have big bezels but there's a tiny notification led hidden behind/next to the earpiece. Common sense.
I use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.aodnotificationledlight
You can configure it so that it 'flashes' only a few times when a notification comes in. So far I haven't noticed any battery drain.

Didn't know Notif light for pixel quit working! Has/had a long thread of kudos and all sorts of config ideas etc. in the P6/P6P forums. Been tied up with tons of RL crap and haven't kept up since A12... Jawomo already his coffee tho...go figure.

It's still working on my device so i'm not sure i understand your "quit working" remark. Granted, it hasn't been updated in almost a year.

Thanks! What I have to set for the option of the AOD?
When I click it, it brings me to display settings and it is already ON for all notifications. I tried to untick and set back, no change
Without that, it does not proceed XD

My settings in aodNotify are set under general / always on display operation mode: don't show
in the device settings the always on display is turned on.

Not intentionally... I quoted 2, but created 3 lines, I tried to remove yours but without success for the tag part
Already suggested but 1 more vote for HoleyLight.
Chainfire is a community member and respected dev and the app is pretty configurable. Should probably cover your needs nicely.
