I did look at that review page but it is dated. At least one of the apps is not to be found in the Play Store etc. I also did not find AOD that you referred to?
I find the absence of the LED frustrating and am curious which of the - many - available apps in the Play Store readers use? There also seems to be some issues with privacy for at least some of these apps which is not reassuring.

They rely on Samsung specific frameworks. It's possible, but it'd be quite an undertaking as it would require a lot of work from what I understand.
You'd be better off finding a substratum theme.

Samsung do a lot of work on their apps, and it still the best.

always on display

Anyways on display possible on pixel 1
Yes.
Custom ROMs have an Always on Display option.
There is also a substratum module that enables it, but they say it's kinda buggy.
If you look in the magisk repo there is a module that enables it, that works better.

scrolling screen shot?

I have had my pixel 3xl for a week now,
I know the pixel 2's didn't have scroll screen shot, has the pixel 3 got it?
Ive never heard of a scrolling screen shot. What phones have you seen this on?

Interesting. Im curious, how does that work? What would be scrolling? How would you send it and how would someone viewing it see it? I feel dumb but Ive never heard of this and Im super intrigued.
By "scrolling", is that just like a long screenshot? I would love that sort of native functionality, I've always had to use an app for it...I'm currently on one from the play store called Screen Master...

Yeah, I think that's what the OP is referring to.
Samsung's (at least the Note series, not positive on others) had it built in, where if you take a screenshot there would be a button that says like "scroll down" or something, and it would scroll a page length down, and you could keep doing it. The result being a long image.
Screen Master seems like a nice app for it.
Wish it was just built into the screenshot capture though

I came from a Note and ya I miss scrolling screenshot. I use LongShot now https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leavjenn.longshot
It works well. I just wish it was directly integrated into the screenshot function.

That's why I don't like or use it.
It's beyond me why Google has not implemented it??!

Post your Google Pixel 4 XL Home screens!

Dude, really? The device isn't even released yet...
It's Android 10. It's going to be the same. It's been the same for the last 5 releases. The question is about the date. And those aren't 2 widgets. It's the stock implementation of the "At a Glance" and the Android clock widget...

You're disqualified! Custom launcher and icons.
Would like to use the google launcher but that google search bar on home screen drives me mad & I cannot find a way of getting rid of it.
Any ideas?

You can't get rid of it. Just grab a custom launcher. It's funny how people differ in opinion, I can't go without that bar now at the bottom. Use it to search everything and being right there is so convenient.
Keep it fairly simple, using Nova Launcher Prime and Fancy Widgets for the clock/weather.
Just couldn't enjoy the stock Google Launcher.

but since you have a pixel and therefore the squeeze feature, isn't that just as easy to use than clicking on that? Especially with the new assistant being as latency free as it is

Yeah, funny you say that. I didn't even turn that on on my pixel 3xl. And it's off on my 4xl as well. I just can't get into it and I find it easy enough that I just click my google search bar and all my recent items are there to just click and go into. And if I'm searching something differently, I just say hey Google.

I have a mod for this in Pixel 3/3xl thread it needs root. Once we get root I'm planning on doing the same for Pixel 4/4xl

this is very good news, as I've been trying to get away from using custom stuff and attempting to see what this whole pixel experience is all about.

LED Notification

So, my oneplus 7T has just arrived yesterday. I only come to know that the phone doesn't has LED notification today. Do I miss something that can replace the functionality of LED notification?
Thanks before.

I actually aware of that. Unfortunately I don't like the app. So I'm actually trying to figure out other options if there's any.

I dont think there is any other options... unless you are rooted and want AOD working, this i feel is a much better solution

So I'm new to this forum as I've only received mine yesterday. But is there any detailed guide on how to root this device? I have hd1900 with 10.0.7 OOS. I've browsed the guide section but it is for 10.0.3. Thanks.

the concept is the same as 10.0.3
you need to install magisk canary app, set OEM unlock and adb in developer options in phone, then find the correct 10.0.7 magisk-patched-boot.img file from the forum then flash with adb
Just installed aodNotify by Jawomo on playstore. It's an early access app(not everyone will be able to download just yet). It's just fantastic!! I bought the pro version (less than a dollar). No battery drain, absolutely does what you intend to. Highly recommend it!

How can you use it on oneplus ? . As far as I know AoDNotify only compatible with Samsung phones . No way to run on oneplus .
Please check on playstore. It clearly says its for one plus(actually 8). Anyways i have been using it flawlessly. Y don't you try it for yourself and see..

Thanks for sharing. I guess the app developer needs to update the app's description then, as it still lists specific Samsung devices as the only ones with which it will work.
