How do the edge colors work for notifications? Is it only when face down? Can the edges animate even when it's face up?
Based on gravity sensor. Works only face down.
Even with custom apps?
There should be third party apps in Google Play who do not have that limitation...

I am getting a moto 360. I work in a restaurant were I am constantly moving my arms and rotating my wrists.
I am wondering i there is a way to disable the wrist motion wake.
Unfortunately my google fu is lacking and everything I could find was just saying that it has the feature to turn on when wrist is moved.
Also, I am looking for a multi-company package tracking app in which the notifications will show up on android wear. Mostly USPS.
Coming from a moto x pure. Had moto display set up to light the screen when the device was picked up. Also, any notifications would appear here and a swipe up would open right into the respective app.
With the a7 we get a notification light and fingerprint reader. I'm trying to wrap my head around how to efficiently open notifications without a number of taps. Device is rooted with xposed installed.
So far the best I could come up with was to remap the finger print reader to open the notification bar. This means one tap to unlock, and 1/2 sec or later a second tap to open the notifications. Quickly double tapping doesn't seem to work.
Is there a more elegant solution?
Not sure how well it works with the FP sensor, but AcDisplay is a great alternative.

Thanks. Looking for something more recent. That app hasn't been updated in over a year (11/2015).
How are others dealing with notifications on this phone?
Works great on lineage.
I'm not ready to switch to lineage yet. Also, lack of xposed will mean other solutions to modules like gravity box will have to be found.
It's ironic, when I first got the moto x, I was annoyed at the moto display. After some tweaking, I got it to where the screen only lights up when the device is picked up. Notifications can be somewhat manipulated from this state.
It looks like I'll have to relearn notification usage on the a7.
I use KinScreen to automatically turn on the screen when I open the flip case (uses proximity sensor).
Best thing ever.
With our nice AMOLED displays it seems a shame that there's no Ambient Display in our ASUS ROMs. My previous phone had Lineage on it which added it and I've gotten way too used to it.
Does anyone use and recommend any third-party apps to do the same?
I have used Glance Plus which is by default meant for always-on like later Samsung models but I changed the settings so it just comes on with proximity wake (and taking out of pocket) and incoming notifications. Seems good except sometimes the display won't turn off which is not good so I've uninstalled.
I know there's a lot of similar apps available but figured I'd check here first if someone has already tried a few.
In the meantime I'm using Gravity Screen (for the proximity/pocket wake) and Glimpse Notifications for waking on notifications (this app should also do prox wake too but I find Gravity more effective) but it's not the same.
It's not the same thing, but the Zoom does support double tap to wake to see notifications without unlocking.
Hi there,
I'm on Oreo stock ROM S8 with Magisk root.
Is there a way to make the navbar always visible?
I want the navbar to never disappear in full screen apps and pictures and videos, as if it was not part of the screen. It should never be hidden behind a picture etc. I hate to have to swipe up to reach the navbar. Drives me crazy.
Immersive mode is the most annoying thing I can think of. Hitting buttons in apps near the top accidentally activates the status bar etc. Perhaps there is even a way to disable full screen for all apps?
OK, after a couple days, using my 8/256 Unlocked on Verizon, this is what I think...
Pros:
Size
Smooth & quick operation.
Face unlock is quick.
Cons:
Pie
Fingerprint Sensor does not like fingers on left hand.
No HARD PRESS HOME TO WAKE.
Cannot find the 3 accuracy settings for Location / GPS. Were these removed in Pie?
No ROUTINES in GOODLOCK. (Bixby Routines are not acting the same.)
Unable to make all notifications dark. I've tried NIGHT MODE, THEMES and SWIFT INSTALLER (which won't work on Pie w/o root ?)
Google notifications are white, also.
I know some don't think dark is a big deal, but when using a phone in a nav dock and driving at night, white did not only hurts the eyes, but kills night vision.
For dark notifications (and other bunch of useful stuff) download QuickStar in Goodlock.

I had Quickstar, though I didn't list it.
There was so much I didn't like about the S10e that I sold it.
Thanks, anyways!
