Hi.
Would it be possible to somehow implement EXACTLY these notifications from native Android O?
https://phandroid.com/2017/03/21/android-o-ambient-display-video/
I would NOT like to you native AOD from samsung cause I don't want the screen to be turned on all the time.
And no.. I do NOT want to use different looking alternatives like AC display.
Any suggestions?
no one?

Hi guys, I noticed that Galaxy S6 doesn't have DOZE (lollipop's ambient display) feature.
I searched on google but the only ambient display feature is for AOSP ROMs with Xposed only (module not working on TouchWiz).
So I was wondering if someone will be able to make this feature for TouchWiz too (Xposed or not).
Thanks in advance
I have noticed once or twice if i get a notification from someone on my edge contacts it acts like a ambient display when i picked it up. Dont know if the screen was still on from it coming in or it turned on when i picked it up. But it definately reminded me of my nexus 6 ambient display with the clock lit at a low light state and the notification on the screen
So thats a good sign of it being possible

Lollipop's Ambient Display is not present in Touchwiz. You can download an app from the Play Store called Active Notifications (and one other app by a similar name with similar function) that basically does that exact same thing - and it should work without root.
(Also, side note "Doze" (not DOZE, an acronym) is not part of Lollipop, nor is it related to the Ambient Display feature. Doze is a new feature in Marshmallow that puts the phone into a high power saving mode when it's not being used.)
Hi,
I like the idea of Lollipop's heads-up notifications, but I don't like the way Google executed the concept, particularly on the lockscreen. So instead of using the built-in notifications, I use Floatify. I also like Moto Display's feature of being able to wave your hand over the display and see your latest pending notification. I would just disable the native heads-up notifications on the lockscreen and rely exclusively on Floatify, but that also disables the Moto Display notifications. Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the heads-up notifications on the lockscreen but not in Moto Display?
Coming from a Droid Turbo, Moto's AOD was awesome. Always showed me the time and icons for any notifications - if I wanted more info, I tapthe notification and get a peek (still on AOD) at the info, then could open my phone directly to that app by dragging up.
In contrast, I find Samsung's AOD fairly useless - even the time is often NOT on or bright enough when I really need it. And if you choose the AOD with notifications, they only work for a couple of stock Samsung apps if you happen to use those apps.
Has Samsung opened up the AOD API to third parties to create their own AOD apps? If so, anybody know of any good ones? Or perhaps turn Samsung AOD off and a third party Android app can emulate it? Right now, as is, the Samsung one seems pretty useless to me. And the 3rd party themes they offer for AOD don't change or add to the functionality - just allow optional looks of the same basic function.
Check out these:

The last one seems to me to be the most effective.
Edit: You'll want to turn AOD off to use these.
The stock Samsung AOD enables some more optimizations for the display controller, including reducing the number of colours and the refresh rate.
How do I know whether those apps do the same? Is it known how to access the display controller this way, is there an API for that? How could I write an app that uses this?

My previous device was a Moto X and like you I miss some Moto AOD features too.
Anyway, there are ways to tweak a bit Samsung AOD , check this thread: Mod for Always ON Display to Double tap to Unlock possible?? (Nougat)
I am planning to buy A7 2017 Soon and have question regarding its Always-On display.
Does AOD, only supports notifications from Samsung Apps only ??
Apart from that,
Does it have option to change clock face to any colour ?
How many clock faces is provided (I believe its only 2) ?
Also, any way to have variety of clock faces just like in S7 ? - Can it be ported ?

I been to Samsung stores here and few of the staff says - Samsung have updated their AOD and can now display third-party apps, but they cant say for sure.
Any actual user can confirm please.

They should show up by default but I experience some bugs too I guess Ambient Display is still fresh and needs improvements.
I Google it and found out that same problem have all MIUI smartphones....It is almost one year since ambient display option appeared in MIUI so I don't think they have in mind to change anything about this problem. Many people complain about this but so far nothing is done. Maybe there is some fix but I couldn't find it...
In MIUI 11.0.4.0 9T global android 10 viber notifications on ambient display still doesn't exist. Led notification for viber is on "half power", circle is almost invisible! Led notification for other apps works normal.
Xiaomi hates VIBER or what?!
What if it's the other way round?
From what I've gathered it's the app developer that needs to add AOD functionality in the app.
