[MOD] Ambient Display For Cataclysm Rom - August 7 beta

Hi, due to some of the demands on cataclysm thread I decided to create a thread for the ambient display mod for cataclysm.
For some of you the didn't know what this do is to enable the ambient display mod that is built in on lollipop(n6) but disabled on nexus 5.
Ambient display is the ability to wake up the screen via device pickup or a notification arrival although because of some limitations on hardware side it won't work properly via device pickup on our device but will work 100% percent on notification arrival.
Ok Enough with the chit chats.

It would be sweat to have a toggle for on/off ambient display .

That depends on the update. Some cataclysm "small" update zips may not overwrite this mod and some will. A "full" ROM zip will overwrite it.

Cataclysm is a closed source rom, that would be hard for sure

Screen wakes itself
Hi, I've just tried the mod but I'm having a little trouble with it. I think it may be related to dt2w on Elemental X, although I am just guessing.
When you switch off the screen with the power button, ambient display wakes it again immediately showing the clock. This fades and then the clock comes back a second time. This then fades away but leaves the double tap active (I have a 15 min timout). It should be disabled as I switched off using the power button.
I would love to use this mod properly.

Try flashing the rom and try with stock kernel. You will see if it's kernel related.

what is the difference between ambientmod and ambient mod revert?

Ambient mod revert just reverts the changes made, so basically you're back to the ROM you had before you flashed the mod

Greetings,
I'd just like to let you know, if you didn't already, that the Jan 4 ambient display mod conflicts with some of the new cataclysm Jan 10 update features. For example, long-press flashlight, sweep to sleep, and quick toggles hide labels.
Thanks again for the awesome mod!

Yeah, waiting for the next update ?
Regards.

Will do it later.. Stay tuned

Anyone knows how to get rid of it?

Mine randomly appeared today too! Very confused.

Yeah. Me too. Randomly appeared the icon, and the last few days mi X2 freezed several times but not anymore. Could this mean something?

If you hold down the icon for a couple seconds it will give you the option to hide it.
It shows up there because you must have used it. it will show back up after each time you use it.
I just leave it there and use the short cut from time to time to help eliminate burn in.

Mine showed up out of the blue as well today and I never touched invert colors. I tried the roll back method and forward to get rid of it after I tried it once but it won't go away. And there is no option to hide it. Hold on it for ten minutes and nothing happens

That's weird mined gives the option to hide it. I'm on the XT1095 pure edition latest 5.1 soak.

Lool yes this magically apeared on my x2 too.
5.1 has the option to hide it while touching and holding for a few sec. 5.0 doesnt have this option. People on 5.0 should do this
1. Change your date to more than a month back.
2. Now toggle invert colour option on and toggle it off right after
3. Now change the date back to todays date
Now you wont be seeing this option.
Cheers

Where can I find this setting? Is this on stock rom? I don't have the toggle, nor can I find it anywhere in settings.

If you're on 5.1 go to settings scroll down to accessibility once there scroll down to the bottom and you'll see display/ Color inversion.
Turn on on and off and then check your toggles from the drop down.

Mine went away. I forgot to toggle it on and off before I changed date back lpl
Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk

I got it too. Thought it was because I flashed the retde image two days back. Weird that we're all getting it
You can also get rid of it with adb (no root needed).
Just connect the phone and type in a terminal: adb shell pm clear com.android.systemui
(and then reboot the phone)

No update just appeared this morning. I have never used this setting and done nothing other than use my phone. It's straight stock. I wonder if it's a google services thing. Very Strange.

I got it randomly yesterday, too. If you aren't on 5.1, the setting the date back trick is the only way to make it go away.

Always on display 1.3.14 update question (June)

I swear that an update to the always on display automatically installed the other day. However, I can't find the app in the Galaxy Store to check. (Why doesn't it show up there? I'm sure that's where the update installed from) Anyway, I'm on version 1.3.14 now.
It used to be that if the phone was in my pocket or face down on the table that the always on display would turn off. I liked that behaviour. Now it seems that it stays on all the time regardless. (I do still have the "Keep screen turned off" setting enabled) Has anyone else updated and noticed this?
(I wanted to write a review question on the app but as mentioned I couldn't find it in the store)

I just tested placing the phone face down and the AOD eventually turned off as it usually does. So I can't reproduce your issue sorry. I'm using the regular S7 though.
Also, I can't seem to manually find the Always on display app in Galaxy Store either - quite mysterious.

How did you get the log? The update installed automatically today and I wanted to see what changed but I couldn't find the app listing.

Your able to view the log when you manually update and click into the app on this Galaxy Store. Samsung needs to fix this.

Yes, I've disabled automatic updates. Manual updating gives me much more control, and prevents automatic installation of updates which may cause problems etc. If everything's working well, I don't see much point updating (aside from security patches).

Hello,
I have the same issue, it will not turn off after the update if the phone is in my pocket, prior to the update it did. Also the AOD Display is now not moving, it just stays on one place, which brings the fear of screen burn in issues. How can i disable/deinstal the update?

No need to désinstal,, after update the AOD is moving by about just one pixel,so you can't note it,,and it moves visibly each 1 hour.

How can I get rid of the update and go back to old version? Night clock only 18hrs... used to be whole day

Honestly i made a little experience to see if display is moving by one pixel a minute,,and what i found is that display is not moving at all,,expect once per hour.

why wont my S7 get AOD update?
My S7 (SM-G930F) is not getting the new AOD update - it is still on Version 1.1.06
I am not using cellular data, just wifi (which has a funny firewall - could this possibly be preventing update?) the wifi allow for most all internet functions, and other app updates, Play Store downloads, etc...
Can anyone find a way I can get the update?

They stay on for a very very short amount of time after you press one. Maybe like 1 second. I wish there was a way to delay them shutting off by a couple more seconds.

That's easy guys: just install an ancient app from Playstore (used it on my THL T100s back in 2013 already on Android 4.2 but it's still working):
Keyboard Backlight Controller by DeskAngel. Very light, under 1 mb. Needs root (of course). There is only one disadvantage I can find, every time you reboot your phone you need disable and re-enable the upper 2 [V] in the app to make it work. That's all. Good luck. As long as your screen is on, your buttons will be illuminated!

This works pretty well. I wish there was a timer, like 5-10 seconds to keep the lights on. This is good for now though. There are a ton of apps for Galaxy devices for this purpose but not much otherwise

The sourcecode of the app I listed is open (open source). So it shouldn't be too hard for a dev to create something for our beloved devices.
Besides, it works on a wide range of phones, so could be a hit in the Pay Store

Wait until more custom kernels released for this device...
I'm on OP3T using dorimanx kernel and have this option..

I had this problem even shortly after reset. Both wipes didn't solve the issue.
I switched off my P10 Lite and switched on in the evening, when it was dark and I gained some more minutes until the screen gets locked again. I switched off this cover described by 西村大一 and I have no more the issue.

I have same problem too but for sensor I'm suspect if it have screen protector or have cracked on sensor let me try this
