AOD modification (move if needed) - Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers

Has anyone been able to edit or modify the always on display ,

I guess you mean more than is possible with stock?
The pixel launcher has "At a Glance" config that affects the AoD.
Or at least I think it does. Getting the weather to go away took me a while to figure out because I don't use the pixel launcher.

I'm not sure about the homescreen issue, I haven't seen that. When you change the dock shortcuts are you using the change icon option? because that is all that does is change the icon the shortcut remains the same, you have to change the shortcut first & then set a custom icon.
HTH
yea i set the shortcut and then the new icon

[Q] Camera access from lock screen? - EDIT: solved

On my other devices (which run AOSP kitkat roms), I can access my camera with my pattern lock still enabled. All I do is swipe the pattern to the left, and the camera UI opens. It allows me to take new photos, and review them, but doesn't allow me to access any photos that were taken before the screen locked (i.e. it's not a backdoor to get past the lock and look at all my pictures). I always loved this functionality.
On my vzw M8, I cannot replicate this functionality. If I swipe in the same way, I just get a blank page where a widget can be added. Looking through the available widget options, I don't see anything for the camera. I even installed Google Camera just to see if that would make any difference, but no.
I know that the M8's gesture functionality allows something very similar (long-press vol-down while screen is off to launch directly into camera). I'd love to use this, but the gestures are all-or-none. Since I find the other gestures problematic (double-tap to wake, for example), I have all my gestures disabled.
So is there currently a way to replicate the AOSP locked-camera functionality on this device? Or do I simply have to wait for an AOSP rom?
For what it's worth, I'm running Skyfall 1.3
EDIT - story of my life... I figure something out just a few seconds after asking a question, even though I've been trying to figure it out for days.
Turns out I can swipe down (i.e. to hide the pattern lock), which causes the camera icon to appear at the lower-right corner. Then I just need to swipe up on that icon.
Nice work, Byron
Never mind. Didn't read your post close enough I guess. I see you know about the gestures.

Events & Ambient Display

So I have a daily recurring event set up to remind me to do something every day. In the morning when the notification pops up I always just dismiss it. What's weird is that on the ambient display, the event still shows until the event time has passed (8am). It shows even after I've dismissed the reminder. I have no idea why this is happening. Any thoughts?
I noticed this last night. I believe you can long press on the Date/Weather widget > preferences > uncheck the option(s). I just changed mine this morning so I can't confirm but I think that'll change it.
i'm not sure which widget you're referring to. i don't have any on my home screen.

It's the default date and weather widget on the default pixel launcher at the top of the home screen.

Correct, guessing you can access the setting somewhere else but that is the only place I am familiar with.
You can get to that sub menu from the main launcher settings too. And if you're using a 3rd party launcher, you'd have to temporarily change your launcher back to stock pixel launcher to get to those settings

Always-on Display and Noval Launcher mutually exclusive?

Hi friends,
I recently got myself an LG G7 which has the Always-on Display feature with a dimmed clock and notifications.
A bit of research I did indicated that Nova Launcher is not suppose to overwrite somehow the always-on feature.
But I noticed on my device after making Nova Launcher my default home app the always-on has been deactivated.
Within the LG settings it is shown active. I tried to deactivate/reactivate it and also reboot the device but still the dimmed clock won't be shown.
Any hints on how I can bring it back keeping the Nova Launcher too?
Thank you in advance for any replies.

Do your dock icons randomly change places?
yes
this is a known issue, I think that the fix is coming in the future update. I would assume april, if not then may :/
There's a bug in the Home Up module of Good Lock where if you change the Task Changer (at the bottom of the list in Home Up), it causes this. If you leave it stock, it doesn't happen. I usually use the "list" setting and it was driving me crazy changing the dock icons order. After some troubleshooting, I realized setting the Task Changer to the stock setting fixed it.
