customize ambient display? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

any way to edit what's on the ambient display?
would love to get a battery% on there.

Agreed. That would be nice.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs

I don't understand why Google doesn't put battery percent on the screen I would also like to be able to adjust the size

Have there been any updates on this subject now that we have the working root and TRWP?
Really love to have options to change clock colors and display battery percentage.

Nope, not yet...

I want to know why the font changes. Sometimes its tall & skinny other times, short & fat.

Isn't that (also?) why it moves around?

It would be nice if Google could do something simple like say, have an automatic off setting so it's not wasting power during the night.
Must Samsung lead the way with everything Google does? Seriously?

So you'd like to see ambient display start but only run for a set amount of time? I know I've seen it get really dim, dimmer than when it starts

Yes. It's something Samsung has had for ages now. I mean Google took the time to create a scheduled system for blue light reduction, yet couldn't bother to do the same with Ambient Display. It's either on 24-7 or off.
The best solution I've found is to put a piece of paper or such over the top sensor at night so the phone will think the device is in a pocket and turn off the screen.

The best ideas are the easiest sometimes. I stay away from Samsung. I can't stand trying to figure out where they put stuff at. Why change menu structure even. I've tried several times because of the awesome hardware but never make it past about 2 months.

Cheers for the tip! :good::good: We've done my part now let's wait

I just got my pixel 2 XL and can't believe google has not enabled this already, it's a very basic item and a must have for many.
Pretty pathetic, hopefully once roms start dropping this will fix many shortcomings on the device.

As mentioned in an different thread, using Accubattery will display the battery level on the AOD. In my brief testing, Google reported the app as not consuming any measurable amount of power overnight, so no appreciable battery draw. Also, there is a root app from an XDA RC that displays the music you are currently playing/streaming on to the AOD. This is different from the existing "now playing" feature already built in, and at the end of the article HERE it says that almost any "text" can be displayed on the AOD. It's not the built in Google controls for the AOD we are expecting, but there is hope for customization for those with root, and in the coming ROMs.

Well, got this notice, just don't know what "Changed" (shrug)

After I read your post I downloaded accubattery and it works quite well. Thanks for the heads up
I hope they enable the ability to keep the icon on the lockscreen while removing it from the notification panel.. that would be perfect.

[App] Wave Control - Control your phone without even touching it

Wave Control uses the proximity sensor to detect hand gestures to control music playback (free version) and more (paid version).
Update (10/11/2012): Half of proceeds from app sales from October will be donated to Breast Cancer Research
More Info Here
Update (9/7/2012): New Tasker Support for changing profiles in Wave Control!
Update (31/08/2012): Jelly Bean users are getting force closes in the Play Store app when navigating to Wave Control -- The free version's apk is available to download on this post. Please if it's working for you in Play Store download from there.. I need the install count
I developed this on the Note and luckily it happens to have one of the best proximity sensors (at least for my uses). Works best on the Note and Galaxy Nexus. Not so great on HTC phones and SGSII due to their particular sensors (much slower).
There are 4 basic gestures:
-Hover
-1 Wave
-2 Waves
-3 Waves
By default they correspond to Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Enable/Disable Controls respectively.
In the Pro version, they can be remapped to any of those plus: Turn Screen On, Volume Up, Volume Down, Launch Google Voice Search, Alt Play/Pause (for MX Video Player), and do nothing.
Popular uses are:
When driving, don't have to take your eyes off the road to try to hit a button
When your hands are dirty so you don't smear crap all over your phone like when cooking or working on car
While on the computer, you don't have to bother waking the phone to change the song (works even when the screen is off)
I'd like to see what you guys think of it. If you have any suggestions for new features or any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
Google Play Store Links:
Free Version
Paid Pro Version
Here are a couple youtube video demos:
and more of the Pro features:
I've got an identical post in the Galaxy Note forum. I'm limiting the call for feedback to these two devices for now since they have the most responsive sensor.
Holy crap, this is awesome.

Looks good, so far. I already paid for it, in support of where I think it might go. It would be interesting to see the ability to launch other apps besides Voice Search, chosen by the user, rather than hard coded. This would open up lots of possibilities.
I think this would not work in the night or in dark rooms?!
Otherwise this is really cool!

Yeah been rolling this idea around for some time. I've been kind of lazy about implementing it. I think I'll start coding it up to include in the next update unless a bug pops up first.

If I used just the light sensor then, yeah it would have that limitation. The proximity sensor (on the same chip) uses an IR LED to light up the near object and the light sensor to detect the IR reflection.
Hows the battery usage of the app? I am presuming that app is always running in the background polling for some action in the proximity sensor.

For me, it's been a little under what the music player uses. The system broadcasts on state changes of the sensor so I don't have to poll. Which is quite nice.
This is phenomenal. I like the potential!
I'm a little concerned about the battery life implications of this app. OP mentions that the app works even when the screen is off. Does this mean that a constant wakelock is maintained at all times which prevents the device from going into deep sleep?

Yeah, it holds a Partial Wakelock.
If someone knows how to still receive state changes from the proximity sensor without a Partial Wakelock, please let me know!
I'm always looking for ways to make the app for energy efficient. Working with the screen off saves a lot of battery since the screen is usually the biggest consumer of power.
If you want to know for sure how much battery it uses, just try it out. If it uses more battery than you feel is acceptable for the functionality, stop using it. It's not something to leave running in the background indefinitely.
I would love a sensitivity toggle. For me, the response time seems slow.

it doesn't have to be that way. Why not give the user an option to disable the wake lock so that the app works only when the screen is on?
Also, can you explain the Pocket mode and the "Headphones unplug exit" options? I read the description about Pocket mode but I'm not sure I understand: Is a false positive 3 wave gesture so common that there needs to be workaround for it? Furthurmore, when does the app need to be in front? If the screen is on but the app is in background, chances are the user is actually using the phone.

Yeah perhaps that could be a replacement for the pocketmode.. just disable the wakelock.
Pocket Mode was a user request. I guess the person had fairly baggy pants such that the controls were getting reenabled and music started playing while they were walking. So all it does is prevent that from happening. It's raised more support questions than it addressed so it does need to change.
The headphones unplug exit is an auto exit of the app when you unplug your headphones. It used to just be the way the app behaved but I had a request to be able to disable it.
Having to have the app in front is more of a carryover from before I had the notification icon change with enable/disable. It was just to make the user see the status change. I had kinda forgotten about it.
All good points! Thanks for the feedback.
I think I'll change Pocket Mode to something like Only Work With Screen On and then just toggle the wakelock. More straight forward.
Thanks again!
Pocket Mode

Yeah the current implementation only prevents a re-enable. So, until you disable it, it'll still work. I'll be changing that soon to avoid confusion.
------
So this fun... it still works without the wake lock. Now I'm thinking back to why I put it there in the first place.
I think I had read that on some phones it's required to still receive sensor data, but not all. So I guess my Note doesn't require it. I get down into deep sleep without the wakelock (as long as music isn't playing) and am still able to start music back up. Sweet.
Now how to word the option to not confuse non devs....

It will be great to have real Pocket Mode - if Hover lasts more that 1 sec (or other time, better make it adjustable in settings) turn on real Pocket Mode - disable controls

Yeah that might a good way to activate it.. hmm.
I ended up just settling on Wake Lock.. see how many questions I get about it.
I just posted V1.50:
-Wake Lock as an option, default is off
-Pocket Mode now disables everything when the screen is off
-Tweaked the timing for the SGSII
-Fixed a bug for the play/pause on MX Video (forgot to put this in the app's changelog)
-Pro gets Screen Off command
Thanks for great feedback guys! It's helping me quite a bit.
Still to come:
For Pro: Launch any installed app
Adjustable timing for the gesture window
Ingenious.

Ambient Display Fix?

If any of you clever developers / tinkerers know of a 'lite' app to use to fix the non working ambient display issues I.E. pick up to wake doesnt work, a recommendation would be soooo welcome. I looked at apps like gravity etc in the play store, but they are a. rather large and b. the permissions they require are a bit suspect. Thanks in advance
Did not know something was wrong.
So I pick it up it does not wake up, I think is a good thing. When I pick it up and I want a display, I press something and have no problem with that.
This maybe one reason the Pixel XL has an excellent battery life.
At the suggestion of another user here, I installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomer.alwayson
It's reminiscent of Samsung's version but has a lot more customisability. There's also an option to turn of the display completely when the proximity sensor is activated. All of the permissions make perfect sense fit the features you select and it doesn't cause a terrible battery hit.

Ambient display is only meant to flash notifications on the screen in black and white for a short period then turn off. As far as I know, the pick up and bump to wake is an OEM added feature that Motorola, Samsung, and likely others added, but it isn't in stock Android.

On the Pixel XL it flashes only once which i find to be a disappointment. Also on the Nexus 6 , 6P and 5X the notification/time flashed once upon picking up or moving the phone a bit. This is not enabled on the Pixel models for some reason.

This feature does not even work for me at all (but I am able to get the light to pulse). After talking to pixel support for about 30 minutes they did confirm that Ambient display has an engineering problem they are currently working on.

Damn !! I was going nuts trying to figure out why this phone was not acting like my Nexus 6. lol I loved the Moto display then had to end up liking the Nexus 6 version afterwards. Then this Pixel XL only flashing the notice once then never again was aggravating. and of course no good app on the play store to emulate this function with 7.1 lol
well I hope this engineering problem can be fixed with software. :silly:
I've created an app that wakes ambient display when you take the phone out of your pocket or if you have the phone face down and turn it over. The app is in addition to Google's ambient display and does not change your lock screen in anyway.
I added a few other paid features for pulsing at an interval, wave to unlock, and battery percentage display on the ambient display.
I would love to have a few beta testers for the extra features, as it's a work in progress. Message me if you'd like a free code to redeem for the paid features.

"AOE" Notification Light Alternative

This app is a great substitute for OnePlus 6T and no LED. Allows you to get colorful notifications from your favorite apps.

Make sure you have the app set to Don't Optimize if you haven't already. I'm not sure why it isn't working for you and not sure what you have for set up.
It is an amazing app!
I'm using this, had figured it out even before this thread.
Turn on 'New Notifications' in Ambient Display and also do not optimise the app.
It works. And it's the coolest alternative to a notification LED.

Mine uses little or no battery at all. Right now I have been up for 13 hours and AOE doesn't even register and I have been getting all my notifications
Use it for 2 days because I thought plus beat not working anymore ( I accidentally turn off lock screen notifications).
AOE working well but lack of feature I want - battery full notification.
Now back to plus beat.

Just installed this and it appears to be working. This is the first app that I see doing what I wanted (a very unobtrusive way of telling if notifications have arrived).
Did not need to to activate "New Notifications" under Ambient Display for it to work. Are you sure it's needed?
I'm not managing to customize the color of the colored stripes according to the app sending a notification. Not that I care too much, on Nexus 6P LED color was mostly irrelevant to me. I just needed a visual cue that something needed my attention if I missed the audio one.

I got it working but it times out after 1 minute. I have my display set to sleep after 1 minute of inactivity but if this follows that rule it's kind of useless for notifications.

Yeah, I set all that. Results have been inconsistent as far as working after long inactivity is concerned.
I wish OP had thought of baking something similar in their OS, when they decided to take away the LED.

I agree, I wish OnePlus had baked something like this into the stock ROM. My second screenshot doesn't look like it posted for some reason so here it is.

Nice to know the camera got those cam speed and iso aditions, I am curious about the starage handling, as I previously read an article here in XDA that files created by any app would be available only for such app, the author saw this as a negative feature, I would like to see how that impacts overall file usage in real life now that android 10 is officially rolling out

Inquiring minds want to know. lol
External touchpads support is broken (both usb and bluetooth) - they don't work/gets recognized as mouse HID as it was on Android 9, currently more like some kind of touch input. Therefore mouse cursor acts strangely when using touchpads - it is way quicker in one plane (e.g. horizontal) than the other (e.g. vertical) which makes it usless.
The update does cripple support for Good Lock which is a huge drawback. You can no longer customize how many rows or columns appear in the quick settings. Many Pie themes are no longer working in 10. On the positive side, battery life has much improved with about 20% more battery at the end of the day. Certain apps such as Instagram will now switch to dark mode if you have it enabled systemwide. For those eagerly waiting, I'd say you're not missing out on much.

On the positive side, battery life has much improved with about 20% more battery at the end of the day. Certain apps such as Instagram will now switch to dark mode if you have it enabled systemwide. For those eagerly waiting, I'd say you're not missing out on much.

Every new version of Android on samsung starts without full support of every goodlock app. It will be the same thing for Android 11. They will update then eventually
One thing for me that kills the A10 update is being unable to Turn Off "Restrict Backgroud Data" on Power Saving Mode
I like to throttle the phone to stop losing battery as quick - Reduce Processor to 70% / AOD Off etc...
With the latest update they have removed the option to do this however when you activate it - It says be default that it is going to be switched on :/
Anybody faced the issue of KLWP not fully working after the update? I can set the wallpaper but the "click to launch app" does not work.

Thanks for this, I examined it.... My favorite was not described either, it is the "Smart Pop-Up View" - bubblehead type notifications for ANY APPS on your phone which when selected brings up said app in a tiny separate window!

That didn't come with Android 10 though. It's been there. Maybe it came to other devices on 10 but Samsung already had that feature.

HOLY Crap! You are absolutely correct! OMFG! Wish I had found that long ago!
I hate it when programmers change things just so it looks new and improved.
Zero-dark-thirty is NOT the time I want to discover that the snooze button on the alarm clock app has been "upgraded" and moved. Groggy/grumpy/sleepy self turned the alarm off this morning instead of just snoozing it.
Why do they keep effing with my snooze button?!?

Such a madness or sis substratum theme
Madness is paid byt sis not
And I'm not sure that works on stock rom you know
However it's mire wise to use custom rom tgat have more clocks by default and you can use themes without any major problem
Hey thank you i wasnt able to find them on playstore. can you link them here

I couldn't get S.I.S. to work. I didn't feel like registering for Telegram just for this, so I didn't look very far into it. Building the lockscreen themes stated that it couldn't find certain resources to replace, so it aborted.
I did get Madness to work, however. Since it focused so much on the lockscreen and not AOD, I was a bit skeptical... but every lockscreen clock I tried out worked just fine with AOD, though finding one I wanted to use was a bit time consuming. All I wanted was a large clock despite using tiny DPI text in the OS. There were a couple larger clocks that were not affected/ruined by my DPI settings.
It seems like there's an issue when the device is unplugged, the AOD clock doesn't reliably update. I've heard that homescreen widgets can have this issue if a non-system font is used for the clock. I may have to do some more research about this as it's a sizable problem to have a visible clock with the wrong time. (sometimes off by more than an hour)

The AOD clock is controlled by System UI. Adaptive Battery has never interfered with Android's own clock before. Help me understand what your thought process is...?
I admit that I haven't done a lot of research on the internals of substratum, but my impression was that it did not use an active process to make the changes.
Turning off adaptive battery didn't help.
This is what I'm experiencing that only started after using the substratum modification.

i don't know the process behind it, but since i turn off adaptive battery the time was updating, have you contact the dev on telegram?

I don't have a Telegram account so I was going to worry about it tomorrow after some rest. The real reason I made the video was to show them, actually.

Thanks for tracking this thread down before I had the chance to look at Telegram, heh.
I tried rebooting without making any substratum changes, then disabling and re-enabling Motion Sense. Unfortunately, it didn't help.
It seems that it takes a couple hours idle for it to start happening. Then once it happens, it will keep happening until the phone is fully unlocked. Tapping the screen will update the time once, but it still requires an unlock or similar(?) to fix for longer than a minute.
Approaching the phone with only motion sense waking the phone will not even update the time, even though it shows the lockscreen wallpaper instead of being dark.

One of my user reported this workaround. this doesn't seems to fix the issue completely. I can't fix this as the issue is not from my end.
