Hello,
today i tried the face unlock feature and i think its a funny thing! Dont discuss about the security, i know the situation!
But my thought was, cause i was looking today about how to show missed calles/sms on the lockscreen tried different things but nothing what satisfied me, I want to change the stock lockscreen a little bit.
First i want to show missed Calls/SMS/ maybee notifications, kind of iOS5.
And know actual thing!
For this example you choose in your settings face unlock and a pattern.
First you press your unlock key, the screen will shown up with notifications if you have one, if not, the screen will be clear as is also now.
Immediately after the screen is shown, the face unlock will search for you face if it found you face it will nothing happens at the moment, if not also nothing happens. The important thing is here is no preview like it is now, cause you want to see the notifications!! So the whole thing is in background!
At the bottom is also the circle thing what you know of the stock thing without a security check. Drag it to the right to unlock, if face unlock is successful you come to your homescreen if not you need to enter you pattern, with a fancy animation, again like on the iphone.
This would be my first android project, so where can i get the jelly bean 4.1.1. source?
And my question to you android genies, do you think it can work without a custom rom?
For sure i will publish my work if i get it to work!
Please tell me what you think about my idea! If someone would also try his luck with my idea, go on it would be nice if you dont tell everyone its your idea! If someone wants to know who had this idea before they can google and find this thread!
I'm kind of excited!!!
I am loving the looks, I mean the Whitish themes everywhere, that's what I wanted for so long. Just some screenshots in case one want to look how some sections look, for fun, that's all. I am stating some of my views on it too, please share yours too.
However not everything is great, I don't like how they have ruled out the scaling on the options, you might encounter one or two mi****s every now and then. I mean when you tap on option of some app, the OK, Discard etc. options have no box outlining those options, so you don't know where the scaling finishes. They shouldn't have done that. Tapping with fingers (which is and will be mostly done) can't always be precise. I have already miss tapped in some places!
I also don't like how they changed the notification clock font size, the AM/PM font is bigger than the clock itself, weird. The lockscreen clock has also been redone, it now has a slimmer font that KitKat, which I am not a fan of.
And I don't know whether this is a placebo effect or not, but am I the only one who is feeling that the in call loudness (volume) is a little softer than KitKat? Don't know, can't be sure.
The Dialler app now goes full screen, I mean edge to edge, simple change yet looks much much better
The Multi-Window mode doesn't have any small U shaped notification any more when enabled at the side of the screen, you just long press the back button to enable or disable it.
The lock screen notifications are directly tap-able and expandable, instead of dragging down and then tapping it to expand it from KitKat.
I guess you guys can use this topic to report bugs, whichever you have found. If this topic seems like a duplicate then remove it immediately.
Have fun.
PS: One more thing, I flashed the Polish version of the ROM on my Arab N9005, 32 GB. I tried to flash the German ROM first, because it had multi CSC but it failed to flash, so keep that in mind, I mean I think the German ROM is meant for 16 GB variants only.
@devilsdouble can we make the white background black?

There is no 16GB Note 3 variant outside Asia... I recall there being an issue with the German rom when flashing over to another back when 4.4 came out. You needed the PIT file to sucessfully flash from the German rom to another. This could be related.

From Developer menu you can invert colors, but that's ... all colors. At least you get rid of white.
I noticed a bug: turning the screen on isn't smooth, it looks like a two step process light up.
A missing "feature": hovering your finger over the lockscreen no longer produces an effect.

And this is why I don't plan on upgrading before at least xposed works perfectly and there is a way to force a black theme onto everything.
Okay after playing with the release for couple of hours I am really not liking it any more (except the colour part). I mean as usual with Samsung, they hurried up and released an unfinished ROM IMHO.
First and the most annoying thing I am noticing that the WiFi password (WPA) is reset every time when I toggle Flight mode back and forth. This is extremely annoying and I am sure there's a way around it, or am I wrong?
- Never mind, it's solved now.
Secondly, where is the Mute/Silent option? I mean it's either Ringer mode or Vibrate mode, but there's no Silent/Mute mode!
Thirdly, the upcoming alarm time doesn't show up on Lock Screen! What the heck?
If someone can tell me how to get rid of the above please tell me, I am mainly annoyed by the first problem though, the WiFi password reset problem.
I've not heard the password issue before. Are you sure it's not just a bug?
The silent mode is split.
You have one toggle that decides how you are notified. (the old sound toggle) Sets to either sound or vibrate.
And another toggle that decides what you're notified about. (Looks like an entry forbidden sign). All, Priority or None. This is where you set Silent mode.
If you set this to priority, you can decide which apps notify you. (settings > sound and notification) Call, text, etc.
If you set it to None, you're not notified with sound or vibration. The notification still shows up on the screen.
Be careful, as this will also silence alarms!
I would suggest priority mode and simply disabling everything in its settings except alarms.
The alarm on the lockscreen, nope. They removed it. Fortunately we can always use GO locker.

I believe the WiFi passwords not saving issue can be solved by editing build.prop (that is how I fixed it on the leaked version, haven't updated myself yet)
Look for ro.securestorage.support and change it from true to false. I tripped the KNOX flag long time ago (doesn't change my warranty) and I haven't noticed any misbehaviours.

Yes, it was a bug, I mean it was a problem because my bootloader wasn't updated. Reflashed the ROM, all is okay now.

Yes, was playing with that Interruptions option and figured that, but still that's a weird way. Don't know why Google decided to ditch the Silent mode, well at least Samsung could have kept that.
Go Locker? Well I tried a lot of third party lockers last week, didn't like any of them. I guess I will have to find a different alarm clock app which could give me an option to show the upcoming alarm time on lock screen, it's such a nifty feature to have. There's a module in Xposed which shows the actual alarm time in status bar (instead of that damn alarm icon) but well Xposed is not yet ready for TouchWiz ROMs, but when it becomes okay I will simply install that module. In the meantime I will have to look for a alarm app, that's all.
^xposed alpha 1 already released have not yet used it though. Still playing around with stock unrooted rom.

Yep mate, just saw that. Is it working okay with TW Lollipop now, I mean no more boot loop? Don't really want to try, in case bootloop happens I will have to redo all those formats and all, which I simply hate.
The only Xposed module I badly need is MinMin Gurad, can't stand ads, and AdAway is, well, complicated.
Hey guys.
Stumbled upon this on YouTube. Bought the app and I can confirm that it works.
This is the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
Here's the video I found on YouTube:
I managed to get it setup just the way I like. The guy in the video is a bit hard to understand but the video is good enough to get you started.
If your looking for a deeper dive into the optimal configuration process try this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/workaround-missing-notification-led-edge-t3919286
Enjoy!
thanks a lot =)
But is it posible to set different colors for different apps?
for example
green = whatsapp
blue = facebook ....
UPDATE: there is an option .... "when a notification comes" there you got the option "select enabled aps ots color and time" the blue button =)

Thanks for the effort.
Just tried it, buggy as hell and didn't play nice with my lock screen. Also every 30 seconds the screen would flicker.
I'll keep an eye on it and maybe try again after more refinement.

I had nothing but issues out of the app. Notifications wouldn't notify, the lock screen turned on and off randomly, there were no edge lighting effects no matter what I adjusted. I even tried to use the camera cutout, it again did not work.
This is a VERY bloated app, containing a LOT of features and options that frankly, are of no use to me or of no interest to me. I want an app that it's ONLY purpose is to alert me when I get messages, calls, and email. one that does not have so much bloat so that the developer can focus on the feature that is most sought after at the moment.
Just my two cents.
tl;dr App is junk, has too much junk, we need a debloated app.
It's a start...

Come on! This app might not be right for you, but the developer should at least be given some credit/thanks for the effort taken to solve a problem, for which several users are seeking a not really forthcoming solution from Samsung. You "want an app...", but the developer created something and shared it. Granted, the app has far too many options and choices, but I was able to get it working to my satisfaction. Let's be thankful first .

Okay, okay, okay. I may have been a little harsh. I didn't mean to demean to developer. I am very thankful they have taken the time to create this app out of the kindness of their heart, as well as make the app free. I appreciate the work they have done and I would even donate if I could get the app to work; however it's not very user friendly tough, and in my opinion, could use a lot of work on many different aspects.
My main issue with the app is that it does not work as intended. I have tried using the youtube video settings, playing with options, etc.
I download and re-install this app about 5 times a day in hopes that MAYBE one time I can get it to function as intended. But I do not get any kind of Edge lighting or Notch cutout alert when I get messages, and that is the sole purpose of my attempts with this app, if I could find something similar or something that better served this purpose I would use it instead.
Sometimes, while using the apps lock screen, it will display the little icon and the message but then it goes away, and doesn't re-alert like it is suppose to, and the light affects do not appear. I have tried leaving it as the stock color and using a custom color. I have tried using the app lock screen, I have tried using the settings within the app to let it manipulate the wallpaper and lock screen, tried it with an image and also just a black background. I never even delved into setting different colors for apps, I can't get the dang notifications to work!
end rant
Do you have edge light on? Worked for me first try. I am not saying its 100% but for free and for now to wait to see if Samsung might give us we want I will leave it on my phone.
hello,
with this app is there a setup to leave the screen off when a notification comes in and only the cam ring turns on then?
thanks

it is working a bit strange for me as well. I've managed to get it to ALMOST work how I want, but I can't figure out why it will do random things
-- for a while it was turning on my screen when the edge lighting came on, which was pointless. I changed a lot of settings in troubleshooting, but I'm not sure what I did to fix it
-- also, it does notify every 30 seconds even though I have no new notifications. that one I haven't figured out yet
It does work as advertised though, despite the bugs I can't fix. It will either light up my edge lighting or the notch around the camera (which I prefer). so props to the dev for figuring that part out and here's to hoping the rest of the bugs get worked on the S10 (and my S10+). it seems to be working for other devices (I originally found it here for the oneplus)

you need to disable edge lighting in setting to use this app or else it will conflict since this app does wake up the screen while edge lighting is not.
if u enable both that mean this app waking up the screen, then edge lighting will also showing (coz edge lighting while screen is on is applied). you will have both notification then

thanks! Not sure if it was changing that setting that helped, or their recent update I got yesterday, but the weird behavior has seemed to subside for a bit... I'll give it a few more days of testing to see if I can find anything else weird, but so far so good. I might also try swapping out the default color with individual colors for each app soon. Glad the dev seems to be open and receptive to feedback and willing to keep his app updated to fix various bugs found
The Reminder Notification Option
Has anyone successfully gotten the reminder option to work? When used, this is supposed to repeat the notification lighting for a brief period, if a notification had been unanswered for a period of time (30 or 60 seconds - I think). However, I could not get that to work - or at least replay the lighting. incidentally, I notice that Sakitech did not "fully" demo this feature in his Youtube tutorial. He mentioned it (at about 6:08), but did not show it working, I suspect (only speculating...) that he edited it out of the video because it does not work properly.
If anyone has the right settings for **** please share.

Thanks! The only setting I have differently is "double top to close" instead of "swipe up to close". Otherwise, I have been using these exact settings . As usual, at the moment that the screen should display the reminder, all that happens is the phone vibrates, but the light is not illuminated or display any visible interaction with the AOE lighting app.

Yeah, I see what you mean. My app as well will not work properly. I don't know what is going on? I have reached out to the developer and still not able to resolve the issues. The app starts out good but then goes rogue after awhile. I thought it was good lock messing it up but I was wrong. I give up for now.

Try turning off the "Manually only when I want it, I open the app". Also change the "When a notification comes" "And screen is off" to "Always off or on". Be sure you have turned off the Edge lighting in your phone settings.
What I was finding is when a notification would come in, it would light up the screen for a second and this would cause the app not to show the notification because I set it to "And screen is off" condition causing several notifications, if not all, to make the app not work. Once I changed to it to either/or, it has been working great for me. Hope this helps
I cannot screen grab it, but I cannot figure out either what this is, or how to stop it. When I resume the device from being locked, and attempt to input my fingerprint, sometimes, iit will show a bunch of notifications in a screen that resembles the drop down menu. I can"clear all", and then, swipe up, and use the fingerprint sensor on the 2ndary screen(I can either fingerprint or put in my pin).
Does anyone possibly know what this is, and how to rid myself of it? It must be some kind of new feature, because i never had this on my note 8.??
Much appreciated for any help or suggestions..

Have you got Samsung Good Lock, installed ...?
In particular Samsung " Notistar " thats included in Good lock or maybe you side loaded" Notistar" ( module/app ) it .?
if you look in the Notistar settings ( top right, 3 dots menu),you will see "Using in lock screen enabled " most likely grayed out?
It happened to me a few times ,but i managed to figure it out !
Otherwise if you can uninstall module or disable etc and test
Good luck

Yes I do have both the gods lock and the NotiStar enabled. And I also did as you stated and turned that iron off. I may just uninstall that module all together?
Many many thanks!

Good lock... no you don't have to uninstall.
Notistar.... not necessarily..
As stated i was also puzzled, as to what was causing this issue. Luckily, i recognized that it was Notistar, as it had that same transparent layer background, if you launched Notistar manually.
I still have Notistar even though I hardly use it.
I been using, another app.. similar, called Notification History Log (Play Store) the paid version.
What i did was, to turn off my lockscreen notifications.
This is my own preference, as i don't prefer
lockscreen notifications, as my Note 10 +is set to facial
recognition, plus i have Google smart unlock enabled.
eg. Samsung Gear S3 watch, car radio etc. is all set to smart unlock.
Plus, i use double tap from sleep.
So i don't even see a lockscreen.
Why then keep notifications for a lockscreen.?
Also in Device /Settings /Apps /Notistar i have permission to appear on top /over apps turned off.
I have created a Nova Prime gesture shortcut for Notistar if i want to see it.
Good luck
You know, lol, this phone is strange in its notifications. It is taking a while to get used toit from my note 8(maybe I'm just getting old). I Ihad this issue, and then I had an issue with this strange beeping whenI was connected-to my home network, So this note is taking some time to work out the bugs.
Anyhow though, for now, because of that, Iam just going to KISS principal the Notistar. Lol!
Thank you tons though!

Hey all.
Just switched from Galaxy S4 to Poco F2 Global ROM, yeah it's been a long time... and here is my problem:
SGS4 has dedicated LED lamp on front side for notifications with the only purpose - show current status, is there an unread SMS or a message or an email or device is on charge and so on. And even with different colors for different apps.
So simple and so convenient right from the box.
Now I am looking for something similar on Poco. There is a LED on top edge and I found it useless because of location, cannot see it in most situations. For now I am using AoD, but it is not what I actually want.
Also Poco has a function, which triggers screen pulsation on the sides in different ways when notifications come and screen is locked, this is it, good solution, this is what I need but screen lights up only once, not always while message is staying unread. I want it to pulsate once every say 5 or 10 sec until I read it. I supose there is no way to do it without 3rd party apps and 3rd party is an option. Rooting, changing ROM and so on is not an option for me.
Appreciate your answers and advices.
Thanks.

Its dont help you, but i wish the same fonction, screen pulsation is very pretty but just one shoot is useless, i dont always eyes on my phone ^^
You could use the 'Always-on display' - besides the time it also shows icons of SMS, Whatsapp, Mail ...
By far not perfect, but batter than nothing
