Ditto.... Despite my best efforts, the notifications come back (most often the active mode and rarely the lockscreen notification). This is after numerous attempts through the phone's app settings as well as attempting to block ongoing notifications via a third-party notification blocker. I cannot seem to figure out what triggers the return, each time. Sometimes its after the phone has been sleeping, sometimes its after a reboot and most often it returns throughout the day at some random time... I want my notification panel as clean as possible and it's quite a nuisance

Otherwise, fantastic app! Keep up the great improvements too!

Hmm I seem to be having a hard time dismissing notifications. No matter how I swipe to the left or right I just can't get it to work. Tips?

Awesome app!

Best app for android I've tested along with Tasker.

Just one question. I use pattern lock. I'd like NOT TO have ACd as lockscreen when there are NO notifications since I have to unlock the ACd lockscreen and then it takes me to the pattern unlock screen.

The only way I found is to disable lockscreen in ACd and wake up the screen with new notifications. The problem here is that it will show for some time, but if I turn on the screen manually ACd is gone and Im taken to the pattern unlock screen.

Anybody help?


Thanks to the dev! I'll be donating tomorrow!

PS: What does Enable shadows do ?

Not an option yet. Maybe it'll be added later like it is with active mode.

It enables shadows. They're very subtle but they're there behind the clock for example.

Swipe quick over a short distance. You don't have to swipe until the edge of the screen as long as you swipe quick enough.

You could in theory disable them through app settings but since they are required for ensuring that the app keeps working I would advise against it.

Perhaps someone can tell me where I am going wrong with this app, because I'm failing to see the point of it. First, does the active message display more than once, because I've not yet looked at my screen within the 25 max seconds that the active notification displays, and so I have never seen it. I thought it would repeat periodically. Second, even when I see it, isn't it giving me the exact same info I get by swiping down my notification bar(I have all notification expanded by default), which takes the same or less time with roughly the same finger involvement? Thanks, hope I don't sound unpleasant. I really want to like this app but haven't figured out what the hold is about yet.

Why do people use anything really. In my experience with a pin as lock it's quicker because I don't have to unlock first and overall it's just a more pleasant experience.
If you didn't look at it within the original timeout time you should set it as a lockscreen so that you can manually enable it or you can enable active mode for it to activate when you take it out of your pocket.

the option isnt included in the app itself, but it's still easy to do:

Find acdisplay
Untick notifications

I have beautiful widgets and it shows the temperature on the notification bar and info when you slide down the notification bar. Curious why that isn't being shown on the acdisplay. That would be cool if it showed it.

Is it a permanent notification?

  • Tasker integration - listening to a simple intent to activate and deactivate AcDisplay that can be sent by Tasker would suffice - similar to the widget you have already implemented

With Secure Settings you can use Tasker to enable/disable notification access to AcDisplay, which in turn enables/disables AcDisplay itself. I set this up months ago so that when I go to sleep AcDisplay doesn't turn on my screen and it's been working flawlessly.

I don't know if the notification access is only in the paid version of Secure Settings, but IMO the paid version is well worth it because of the numerous abilities it adds to Tasker.

Here are my suggestions after using the app for a few days. Firstly, awesome app. It however lacks some necessary configurability which, I recognize is not needed for all users but from the posts I would say applies to many.

First, swipe to home screen and swipe to remove notification needs to be more sensitive. I have a nexus 5 which is recognized to be the current google reference device. IMO the swipe sensitivity is not high enough requiring far too much effort. Again, personal preference comes into play so sensitivity should be configurable.

Second, I carry my N5 in a side pouch. The proximity sensor is not quite sensitive enough to wake my device when I remove from the side pouch unless I intentionally rub against the side of my body after pulling from the pouch. Again the proximity sensitivity need to be configurable to handle this common use case.

I'm not sure with android phone if it's possible to adjust the sensitivities mentioned here on a per app basis but if it is possible I suspect that it would make the app far more useful for many users. Making it configurable would have minimal impact on those that are happy with the current sensitivity levels.

I have removed the posts offering the old, pre-2.0 APKs. When sharing an app, you must get the OP's permission first. AChep does not want any pre-2.0 APKs distributed, so please refrain from doing that on XDA.
You can find the forum rules here - please review rule #12 especially.

Moto X user here. Should I just ditch Motorola's Active Display for ACDisplay? Seems better then Active Display.

Regarding dismissing the notifications I found there are a few apps that like to have a notification which is irritating. If your rooted, NotificationsOff is free and is a great appfor permanently disabling notifications for apps. Just be careful not to disable notifications for all apps as I couldn't answer the phone or know when someone tested me. I thought all my friends had abandoned me for 3 days lol.

    AcDisplay
    Open Source Android app

    AcDisplay is a new way of handling notifications in Android.

    It will inform you about new notifications by showing a minimal, beautiful screen, allowing you to open them directly from the lock screen. And if you want to see what's going on, you can simply take your phone out of your pocket to view all the latest notifications, in a similarly pleasing and minimalistic manner.
