[APP] TrackballFlashRate-1.0beta2

(new thread after many requests for convenience)
Ok you can change the flash rate from 2-9seconds, no colour changes take place. As the Stock ROM Notification system does not issue any period/rate changes this should work without problems.
It will also reload your setting on phone reboot.

I have CM 5.0.2 stable.
I installed the app, gave the SU permissions and played with rates and nothing changed in the way the trackball blinked.

Working fine here on CM-5.0.2. A reboot might help

it works !!!! thanks
could you set it to flash faster ( 2 per second )?

That's not actually possible, the fastest is 2seconds.

Yes, there is an option in TCN to not change flash rate, therefore allowing TFR to control.

I am sorry but why would you need to do that on Phoenix ROM when the ROM itself includes Always on by default ?

Does it work on Nougat 7.1.1(Oxygen 4.7.6]also or not?
I’m really missing the much better quality and customizable AOD on Samsung device.
Current implementation with ambient display from OnePlus is totally crap.
No proximity sensor any more no interaction with notifications on screen.
Very very poor version from OnePlus.

Ok, as you mentioned "Tested on Phoenix Rom based on 8.1.0" it was kind of confusing.

I use Glance Plus wit the optional paid Always On feature. Works great. Only thing is it doesn't honor the Quiet times I set, used to work in 4.7.6, but does honor the Silent switch, but unless something triggers it to awake/sleep again, it won't go to sleep still automatically at night when I don't want it to work.
Also have tried Always On from the play store, it works good as well. Just not a fan of the sizing/font options on the free version, but it works well also.
Be nice if OnePlus can replicate the Samsung version...that thing is nice.

Unfortunately those app consume more battery than stock implementation from OEM.
I’ve tried in the recent past and battery drain was 3-4% per hour.
Considering that AOD at Samsung only loose 1% per hour that’s a significant increase in battery drain with third party app.

Good lord, instead of all the mumbo jumbo just install Omni ROM. Has AOD built-in and works perfectly. No muss no fuss

Samsung's version also does some hardware tricks like dropping the refresh rate and pixel clock and number of colors. The display hardware literally has a special mode to reduce power use that isn't supported by most hardware, or.if it is, it's not implemented by Android

It wouldn't work for me at first, but I got it working now. All you need to do is make sure ambient display is already turned on before you build/enable the Substratum overlay. Then follow the instructions in the OP.

However it seems buggy and doesn't seem to work properly. At least on RR Oreo.

There won't be an OTA for this. It's a Developer Preview targeted at app creators that might want to adapt or test new features, and not intended for daily driver use. Critical features (like functioning as a phone) might be fundamentally broken or buggy, and by downloading it you're opting out of the normal customer service and warranty channels (instead of troubleshooting or device repair, you'll be directed to submit a beta feedback report), so they aren't going to make it easy for end-users to load it up.
https://www.essential.com/developer/developer-preview-issues
Known Issues from Essential
Here's a current list of known issues for the Android P Developer Preview on Essential Phone:
• Dynamic calendar/clock is not behaving as designed
• Neko accessory version and serial number do not display in Android Settings
• Outgoing SMS over IP not working
• "System > Gestures > Swipe up on home button" does not work, can use "Home settings" to enable/disable
• W-Fi Hotspot does not stay on
• Cannot receive VT (Video Telephony) calls
• Volume drops during audio playback after tapping on launcher screen with dongle attached
• VoLTE not working
• Quick setting appears in pink with dark wallpaper

Huh...SMS over IP, video calls, and VoLTE not working....OUCH! Sounds like they tanked the SIP stack, so no thanks to this preview!

Need some help...
After I flashed it, seems to be sitting/stuck on the Essential logo with the "powered by android" text at the bottom for a while. I flashed it with the .bat file provided.

WAY too many critical issues to even consider using this... It will basically make your phone barely usable...

Succes after installing via Ota file. Wifi works for me, but 3rd party launchers doesn't work well... Trying to make the official Pixel launcher from P beta to work, but keeps crashing, which is interesting.

Guys, is this Preview 1 or Preview 2 version? Google released Preview 2 for Pixels, but zip file name suggests it's still Preview 1 for essential - PPR1.180412.048 , date also suggests that it's pretty old, 04 April 2018.

[TIP] Use fingerprint sensor as Navigation method

Hello everyone!
This is my first post on XDA
I found this on international variant of N7 Plus.
I'd like to share you a thing that I have found in settings menu. It's hidden and it's easy to dig it out :highfive:
Follow this steps:
1. Open settings app
2. Tap search
3. Type "navigation" or "fingerprint"
4. Tap Navigation Key of Fingerprint and Voila! Done!!
Let me know what you think. I found this thing randomly. Sorry if it is posted in wrong sub.

Now, is there an option to hide on screen navigation buttons?

Also I spoke to Nokia about the lack of "homescreen auto add icon" option in their launcher and they said it would be passed to the development team to "consider" lol

Dang.
Hope we see it's comeback in June update. haha.

You can get some extra brightness with a root app called High Brightness Mode by Flar2

Well if you're using some custom you can ask your maintainer to implement PixelParts which nukes googles Hbmsvmanager and adds fine grain control over HBM.

There is a throttling mod on the forum that worked wonders for me, but it's a magisk mod with a edit on a system file, so unless you could replace the system file, you would need root for this to work. I just thought I'd mention, since the difference is night and day, and that's one of the exact issues I was having without it.

Are you using Auto-brightness or manual? Auto-brightness gives you a max brightness in the sun compared to the manual max brightness.

Googles HbmSVManager will automatically enable HBM (High brightness mode), when automatic brightness is enabled and the light sensor reaches a specific lux threshold.

I'm sorry, I should have explained it a little better. Auto-brightness will give you a higher max brightness. You will want to use Auto-brightness on a sunny day.
