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.
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...
Like we enabled camera2 api and debloated apps. Is there anyway to enable Ambient display features.

Even if we could we shouldn't do that. It's a LCD panel the back light will be always on and will eat as much battery as in use.

You can ask a resurrection or lineage developer for a flash able zip to enable it.
Use app glance plus available in android play store.

Double Tap Gestures Control
Overall POCO F1 is a great and easy to use for so many people with revamped POCO launcher.
Double tap to wake and Raise to wake features are working fine.
It is difficult to lock the screen always by pressing the power button.
If Double tap to lock and long Press Fingerprint sensor to lock the screen is present then it will be more user-friendly.
Please add those features in next update.

There is a shortcut that if you press a navigation button, it will lock the screen. I have it on now. I press "backwards" for a second and the screen goes off.

Put a screen off widget on the home screen . It is a system widget so doesnt create issues or battery drain.
Display feature
Found this feature in MIUI. When you expose the sensors to bright light(sunlight or torch), the screen tints to light color. For example a black UI turns to grey UI on exposure to light. It's not auto brightness because i never use auto brightness. I have tested it on a Redmi Note 5 pro and the same thing happens on it too. I am not sure how useful it is for people using this phone.
Overall it's great and fast as a bullet, but I found one thing.
When I scroll page up and down, if the "reading mode" is on, you can see red color dragging behind letters on page. Especially if it's white text on black background, night or dark mode in some apps. So much so, that I had to turn reading mode off.

Snappy but slightly juttery due to that, would prefer stock miui 10 animations rather than the sped up ones. Themes don't work properly either
Notifications issue on lock screen
my notifications won't appear on lock screen after unlocking the device. 1st it's show up then the 2nd time it's gone even though i didn't open the notification.
why??
please help me.
the MIUI is convoluted for me, I've been using Xioami phones for almost 4 yrs now, (Mi Max, A1, and Poco) there are many unnecessary bloat in the software making the UI tedious to use most of the time, notifications are limited and needs a little tweak, unlike stock android, notifications works out of the box, also another minor annoyance to me is the Poco launcher, even after changing the icons, some keeps on return to their squary look, ruining the looks, but all of this can be solved by just flashing a custom ROM which everyone will do here in XDA

Notifications are an issue on MIUI - if you pull down the notification shade once you unlock, I believe they stop showing on lock screen. Even if you haven't opened the notification. This is not for all notifications but I did notice this happening.
Screen Touch Issue
The screen responds for other than human skin touch like headset wire, cloths and other stuff when u keep the phone in the pocket without lock also opens the apps due to body touch,
It annoying and irritating

Thanks, will do
Basically I hate MIUI the main reason for me which convinced me to buy this device is the SNAPDRAGON 845.
MIUI is the worst UX I've ever had on a phone. There is no logic in the settings, so that I end up searching for everything instead of navigating as I did on every stock device. You can't see notifications because of the badly implemented notch. Background services are being killed for no reason (i understand the need with the non play store Chinese apps though).
Also I don't get all that bloat on the phone. Nasty facebook app, some xiaomi calendar, notes what ever app. And all the apps asks for permission, they don't actually need. And why can't I disable most of the apps, nor can I fully delete them (without root). Also, you can't block them from sending notifications. LineageOS here I come
The only nice thing IMO is the notification dropdown where I can see current download speed, data being used today and data left on the plan. Luckily I can install LineageOS in few days (due to that unlock time period one has to wait).

Try Using a launcher that will help you change the UI of the device.
i'm use various xiaomi phones but the only one i use miui is original mi note ( don't have CM support lol) MIUI is crap to my eyes and heavy bloated, notifications don't show for no reason. Always on AOSP and LOS.
there is a option for lock screen " Double tap to lock screen" option available under home screen & Recents menu
