Hi to all,

Huawei have very bad AOD, it doesn't have any information only time. I found this AOD that have so much settings and very, very, useful.

- AOD (time, calendar, weather),
- Notification (when you get messages on som application like Viber it shows Viber icon, you can touch icon and read message on AOD without unlock it),
- Blacklist app - app you dont want to show on AOD,
- Duble tap to wake, swipe up for camera and etc...,
- Edge lights for notifications,
- Background for wallpaper,
- Adaptive mod,
- Font style,
- Music Controls,
- Automatic move clock,
- And many more settings...

Name of app: Allways on Amoled Edge Light
LINK: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.alwayson

* I havent test batter drain of this application.

p.s. this is not my application i just found it. All the best, enjoy ;)

Hmm... Looks pretty sweet. I will definitely give it a try. It is odd that the Huawei features are so... thin. I mean, why wouldn't they at least give you the ability to toggle notification icons for just a few common apps?

Yeah, I said the same in the other thread. It was using 1% in around 10 - 15 minutes and I hadn't even turned on proximity detection.

Yeah I noticed my battery draining pretty fast too. However I still think this app is pretty cool and worth it, especially over the crappy native AOD... As my phone still gets through a full day usually.

Though if I think I'm gonna have a day of heavy phone use or I'm travelling or something, I'll just disable it.

I have to say it's the best one I've tried. Thank you. I'm just testing battery usage atm, but im loving it right now.

That's what I noticed and I think it's stupid.
It does if you configure it properly. And yeah, there were problems with notifications showing up on the M20 Pro (and I suppose onother EMUI 9 phones as well), but they have been fixed in the meantime.
Must admit I just use it during the day and when I put my phone on the wireless charging pad...just like all other aod apps, it just consumes too much battery to be taken in consideration for constant use (the dev himself doesn't advise to use it this way either). I guess devs can't do nothing about it, it's just the way it is with aod.

How do you make it work with face unlock?? It keeps showing the FPrint icon.
I am having this same issue. Any fix yet?
I tried turning off face unlock but still happening


Edit: found answer
Need to untick "fingerprint" under AMOLED settings

Built in AOD consumes very little power but a third party app version doesn't have elevated system privileges so it's going to eat battery like crazy to keep itself open and running.

It's similar to why built in SMS uses very little power but an app like Facebook Messenger is a notorious battery hog.
