I put together this video since I was asked how I did it. Hope it helps.

How to enable LED notification on S10/+/e
- Thread starter EVOme
- Start date
there is already edge light notification built in - if you can find a way for this to work only around the punch hole - please come back and let us know
Go to 5:10 there is an option where it will only go around the camera cut out.
I don't have a S10 so I can't try it, but it seems like it's working properly in the video.
Did you even watch the video before you made that comment? There's no way to do what the video shows with an out of the box s10 model.
Awesome, finally having a way to know I got a notification without checking the phone all the time and the light will stay until I see it. I will try when I get home, Thank you so much! hopefully it doesn't take too much battery having it just around the camera.
Can you have it so the light only shows around the cutout and not the whole screen? What does that look like?
Yes, watch the video. I show that in there around the 5 min mark I think.
But this comes with a forced custom lockscreen right?
Dont want to have that.

yes i watched the video i just dont know why it looks so wierd
cant you just film the actual phone
atm it looks like something someone made up in photoshop
i see a ring notification but is not clear if its not croped from another video and pasted over or what
show the video with the actual phone not the simulated screen
Agree, wish this functionality was built-in by Samsung, rather than the security liabilities of the 3rd party app permissions.
It's not a simulated screen. It's my actual S10 and I'm doing a screen record. You won't get any clearer view that that or the other video on my channel
This...

No, it does not! You maintain the OEM lockscreen. Nothing changes on your phone except you now get a notification light like I showed...either way.
Either this way

I would be nice if the camera edge lighting just works without having to switch to another "lockscreen". I like the native always on display. If the camera edge lighting just works with that then it would be even better.
Edit: Hmm just saw EVOme's reply above. Going to check that out!
Edit 2: So it looks like it still switched to another screen when camera edge lighting poped up. What I was talking about is just have the lighting show up while keeping it at always on display.

downloaded it to see if worked without AOD on and couldn't get the notifications permissions to stick. I gave up and uninstalled it.
It comes with its own AoD - uninstalled
He wants you to watch ads or buy to save settings - uninstalled x 2

I'm uploading another video really quick for you all that can't picture what's happening.
Genuinely cant see why this is any better than edge lighting
Led lights have is a permanent light so you could see you had a notification, and also read for charging and green for fully charged
Why is just pushing edge lighting into the camera cut out being called led notifications? It just seems to me it should be called 'add on to edge lighting '
Unless we get a permanent led light then it's not led notifications as we all know it to be

Call it whatever you want. We currently do not have the option without using a 3rd party app. Edge lighting is mediocre at best IF you can even get it working. Would a Samsung solution be better, absolutely, but it's not there.
So why is the camera cut out any different to the edge lighting, or the notification lighting up?
The camera cut out lighting up then going off is not the same as an led staying on, sorry just don't get it.
