Just allow some necessary permissions and you are ready to rock. This app is only for testing purpose now, a stable version will be released in near future with more features.

[Beshoy Jr]

nice job

 

[HJMB02]

It looks cool, can you please add the option to wakeup screen with double touch?, and also would be great to see the notifications in arriving in the screen to see the new whatsapp and app messages, thanks for your hard work.

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

Also please add the option to wakeup with the physical home button

 

[Juanma Humeniuk]

love it!

I love it! amazing work. I found that it runs a little bit lagish in my j7 2016, it doesn't show the notifications, and the home button doesn't works but its a great port. I hope you continue with this and solve the bugs

 

[Byramklc]

[JNTN666]

For 6.0.1 please...

 

[Oves786]

Hey used it
Tested it
I say not to use it now
On my j7 16
When i installed it
My temperature went 67 78 degrees on devuce
And heated a lot
And a friends display got burned

 

[jhonpellas]

The wonderful feature works well, so if it is essential is for the clock to move from place to place since the pixels turned on for a long time can damage your friend's work is excellent.

[elban]

Doesn't work on my s6 with 7.0.
It can be configured but then the always on display never runs. Sometimes it crashes.

Is that friend called @parth111999 ? ?

 

[ch3ffy]

Works..Not flawless but didn't expect it to be..

A couple of thoughts though.

1) Needs a No DPI version for those using custom DPI's

2) Double tap to wake

3) Ability to adjust brightness

4) Ability to adjust size and position.

Other than those and of course enhanced stability, thats it.

Keep up the awesome work, looking forward to further updates.

It's looking good so far. I've been having a few problems with my Galaxy J3 2016.
First, the screen wakes up to the lock screen from the AOD after a few seconds. This results in my phone's screen going on and off until I turn the always on display off.
And as someone else already said, the display notifications toggle keeps turning off.
Also the settings app says I can use FaceWidgets on the AOD, but I can't swipe between them
