Using Tasker to toggle Comfort View and Always-on Display? - LG G6 Questions and Answers

I'm trying to make a task that toggles the always on display on and off, based on certain profiles.
I paid for Secure Settings pro because I know for the S7, it gives the necessary options for this.
But with my G6 (7.0, stock, at&t) I'm only seeing a setting that toggles the brighter display for always on display, no actual toggle for always on display.
Is there a plug in or something I'm missing here? Is it under a strange name or something in the list for Secure Settings?
I emailed the developer about this and got no response.
I also tried Autoinput but it does not work well if lock screen is password/fingerprint protected.
Anyone have any ideas?

Are you trying to set the AOD to turn off/on at a specific time of day??

No, that's already in the settings. I want to eventually make a profile that will turn on and off the AOD based on notifications, but for testing purposes I've been using if it's connected to a power source or not.
I would like to toggle the Comfort View at a specific time of day though. But with this I have the same problem, I had to use autoinput which doesn't work well with having a protected lockscreen

On my LG G5 H850, I found the setting to be enable_ext_display_on_lcd_off=1

Accessing wifi, volume and brightness in any app?

Hi,
is there a way to access the quick settings in any app instead just on the home screen or something similar that shows volume, brightness and wifi? I tested "Sidebar" but it doesn't show whether wifi is on and also changes volume and brightness on touch instead of just showing the bar.
Basically i am looking for something like the "Slider Controls" small app for the Xperia Z plus the ability to turn wifi on/off.
Thank you

Two products you could try "GMD GestureControl" and/or "LMT".
With GMD I defined a customized gesture to bring up the volume overlay while in apps like MX Player allowing me to adjust the volume during playback. With LMT's PIE (see video) , I assigned a toggle to turn autobrightness on/off (Auto Brightness Switch) and a number of notification bar activities. So far with LMT I've only used the PIE overlay feature but it does a heck of a lot more as you can see in the video link.
Give them a test run, between the two products I think you can get what you need. They also work perfectly well with SideBar if you have already purchased that.
Good Luck

Question about customizing notifications

I got a 6P a few days ago, after getting a Galaxy Tab S2 a few weeks ago. These are my first Android devices and I'm still figuring things out.
One of the things that I'm kinda frustrated about is notifications. I'm used to iOS where I can control all notification settings for all apps in one spot (banners, sounds, lock screen, notification center, etc). Unless I'm missing something, it seems like Android notifications are controlled individually in each app, and the granularity of control you have over what type of notifications it produces is at the mercy of whatever settings the developer decided to implement. Is this an accurate assessment? And yes I'm aware of the Notifications area in Settings that allowed to control peeking and sensitivity.
Specifically, I have an app (Flickr) that I want to get lock screen notifications for, but it makes a sound for each notification - which I absolutely do not want. There is only one setting in the app - Notifications enabled or disabled. Is there somewhere else I can go to configure it to retain a lock screen notification but disable sound? Or am I just stuck with whatever the app allows me to do?
You are correct. And feel on the app you may find you have no control over the type and frequency of those alerts.

Nougat lacking features?

It seems like the official Nougat builds are really horrible when it comes to notifications. I no longer have the option to turn on the display when receiving a notification, which is huge. But on top of that, I don't seem to get any notifications on the lock screen at all, or "heads up" notifications (the notifications that drop down from the top of the screen while it's on temporarily). Am I wrong? Have others gotten this stuff working? I am on AL10.
Well I got lock screen stuff going, it was just defaulting to disabled. But there seems to be no option to wake the display for notifications.
Mate 8 - NXT-AL10 - turn on screen when notifications are received

Hi,
I have NXT-AL10. Just got the phone 2 days back and I installed Android Nougat 7.0 directly from Huawei using Huawei ID.
I found a setting that may be the one or at least close to it.I also checked if the notification is displaying on the lock screen and it does. I have attached the screenshots.
When I unlock the phone and check the notifications they are there until I swipe them out. They are displayed beautifully. Unfortunately taking screenshot of that was bit difficult as the knuckle thing didn't work so well. I managed to get these. Hope this is what you are looking for.
Cheers!

I had an issue similar to this on 6.0, it was an issue with themes. Do you have anything under the screen lock style menu, under screen lock and passwords? I have a feeling thats my issue.
Screen lock style - screen lock passwords

Hi,
I checked under screen lock and passwords
options listed are
password, secure lock settings , smart unlock - under the subheading of "passwords"
under "lock screen"
screen lock style, magazine unlock and lock screen signature
under screen lock style
it just displays magazine unlock and when you click that it displays the same wallpaper and asks to apply.
under "magazine unlock settings"
subscriptons, auto-update over WLAN and auto-delete covers
There is a separate application called "Themes" and it shows all the themes. They all look alike but there is no download or edit options available. Even if we want to change or edit those themes, it seems like root is required. Are you rooted?
I have enclosed more screenshots to explain better. Hope you find what you are looking for, if I missed something please let me know if you want screenshot of any other menu or screen.
Cheers!

Notifications on Lockscreen?

Is there a way to view the notifications on the lock screen without actually having to unlock the phone?
I have the settings enabled in "Show all content" in lock screen.
When an email through Gmail comes in, it shows on lock screen, but when I go back to the lock screen, all I see is a Gmail icon and not the actual message itself.
Edit: I guess I mean to show notification on the "ambient display".....
same here, i tried many things no luck.
same here
any further update on this? im hoping someone could fix/change it some day
same here
Mine shows content but I also do NOT have a lock on my device, I just swipe. This probably doesn't help but just thought I'd throw it out there
Mine shows and I do have a lock set.
Ia yours shown in locked screen or ambient display?

But you have to enable the screen taking the phone, isn't right?
I'm interested on the possibility to get notifications on the screen not having to wake up the display. I understand that the notification of missed call i.e. after awhile disappear and the only method to check for it is by taking the phone. I don't have the OP6T yet but I'm considering to buy it but I have some concern about this item.
In the past I had experience with NoLED. It does the job but I recall on Samsung Galaxy S2 time, it was causing some battery draining. I wonder if anyone has tested it on the OP6T.
This app may be pretty close or exactly what your looking for. read through the thread for some root tweaks toy can do to make it even more useful.

Showing notifications on the lock screen is located in settings.

I´ve probably found out the solution. Go to Screen -> Ambient display - > new notifications -> enable it. Now you should see notifications when the screen is locked.
Is there a way to unlock the screen with swipe on the ambient display?

Android 9 problems with AOD

guys, anyone on Android 9 disappeared AOD? Clearing application cache AOD did not help. I investigated this question and realized that the problem is possible either in power saving mode or in comfort mode. Also, if you enable comfort mode, it is displayed on AOD(everything except the clock changes the color tone) I wanted to know if you had this? still unpleasant when it disappears or changes color.
I can't say for sure but is you have tasker this can be the cause, at least for me, another temp fix that worked is going to aod settings disable it, enable it, enable Bright display and disable it. As for the color shift I can't help you.
