Someone already managed to extract the Edge Notifications from the S8, we lost the Edge Lightning with the nougat update, it will be great if someone managed to make it work again on the S7 Edge, thanks in advance...

Yes I know, mine is working too, but now you can't give different colours to the contacts and is always green, and the new notification on the S8 is so much better, I saw a video how it works.

Same for me, but i replied for your first post that "we lost edge lightning", i thought there is a problem that lighting is not operating for you at all..not colours option....yes, for me always green.

My light wont work at all when face is up and screen on
I've poked around forums a bit and haven't found answers for these:
1) Edge Lighting - Currently this appears to only work with a few apps (from the ones I have installed it looks like Hangouts, Messages, and Skype). Anyone know whether there's a way to get this working with other messaging apps like Textra?
2) Always on Display: On my S7 Edge, there's a feature where you can view notification icons, but I do not see this on the S8 version. Is this functionality removed or has anyone figured out a way to get these on?
1) edge lighting -- go to settings then display then edge screen then edge lighting then manage notification and select all.

I've done this already, but it's not functional. When I go into the menu, there is a partition between Hangouts, Messages, Skype, and the rest of my apps. Thinking it may only work for those 3? Can anyone confirm they have gotten the Edge Lighting to work with other apps?
Can confirm Edge lighting is not working at all.
Yeah, im wondering how to get those cool pill shaped notifications you see. Is this not with verizon? I dont see any edge lighting.
Edge lighting only works on the Samsung messaging app and you must add the person to the people portion of the edge panel it doesn't seem to work with the carrier app such as Verizon Messenger
I'm having random experiences too... I'm stunned there are no 3rd party apps that do anything creative like this. Wouldn't be that hard. There is no customization to edge lighting. Something like light flow for amoled would be great
the phone has been out for like 10 minutes lol. lets wait for things to catch up a bit. im hoping that full screen scaling is implemented soon too.

This actually corrected itself for me, I suspect it was included in the update. I had to manually check for system update to download, but I am now getting notification icons like I used to on my S7 Edge.
me too

I received an update on Friday, but it is still not working. I went check to see if there was another update, but to no avail. I'm not having any luck finding any other information on this. I'd like to get those notification on my AOD.
My edge lighting worked with Textra initiially but now it seems it's not working anymore.
I turned on the Edge Lighting thinking it was cool. Now it messed up my notifications. Now I just get a small icon and before I used to get the heads up notifications. I have to drag down the notifications panel in order for me to see my messages.

Ok my edge lighting is working, but on the AOD screen and no where else using Textra
Someone on another board figured it out
In order to get edge lighting for Textra to work
Turn edge lighting on set to always (of course), make sure Textra is chosen(of course) and then go to Textra settings, customize notifications and set wake screen to On(or Always)
This will give you Edge lighting on AOD for Textra
BUT note that this will disable the quick reply from the LOCK SCREEN function of textra (if you have that turned on). When you have edge lighting for Textra off and have wake screen set to on - when you get a text, the phone wakes to the lock screen so you can reply(if you have this turned on in the customize settings of course).

Can confirm this works. Also, WhatsApp got added to the list of apps above the line (along with hangouts, skype, and messages) and now works with Edge Lighting for me. No clue whether that was a WhatsApp side update or Samsung.
I had WhatsApp working since day one but seems I only get edge lighting when using the phone. When it's idled it doesn't work

the edge lighting is soooo much weaker than on S7edge - i can barely see it when phone is facedown
when face up and unlocked it does look cool how it circles the phone's edges
Meh ...
Dont like that if you get multiple notifications it only shows the content for the first one - then it says new notification (im talking about the pills notifications)

I think the new implementation is far more appealing and useful, especially for me. I never keep my phone face down. And I like how the screen doesn't turn on fully like it used to.

Mine was like the "blue wallpaper" and now is like the other one. I have no idea why, I haven't changed anything.
Hey everybody,
I searched around a lot for this but couldn't find anything that worked...
Basically I want to use gestures without the nav bar showing up at every upswipe...which it unfortunately does with the built in hide option and all those immersive app stuff.
I came across an 0pt.navbar.apk or something like that which in January seemed to only work for nougat and not oreo....
There doesnt seem to be any other apps/ adb commands/ apk files getting you around rooting
Pls help me guys, thx so much in advance
Guys pls if the answer should be somewhere around here pls send me a link or something thx :good:
I'm looking for the same. I had it on note 8, great. But that apk does not work in oreo and you do not need root. I hope a help with alternative or update of it.
Any new stuff? Maybe a new version of 0pt.navbar.apk? Thx guys
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/remove-oreo-navbar-completely-t3772217
There also is a Magisk Module "Hide Navigation Bar" that works
Yo guys the new XDA app (navigation gestures)presented in yt does not work for Samsung experience android 8.0... Ma bar still keeps showing at upswipes.... Is there still no option to disable it and not only hide it?? I mean Samsung already has that hiding built in so you get more screen real estate... But at an up swipe it comes back which makes is it kind of an unsuitable solution for gestures.. Pls help- thx
Can someone please help me enable the 30 wallpapers on the lock screen please?
I had it enabled on Nougat, updated to Oreo and I knew there is no more possibility to add more than one image, but for some reason it still displayed those images like in nougat. Untill I resetted all the setting because the new edge lighting works for messages( really annoyed cause it doesnt work for whatsapp or facebook messeger, wait, any app besides default message app and i tought the setting got corupted)
I saw a post in witch if you use Nova, witch I am, can create an activity with "my interests" app and set the multiple images on the lockscreen. I dont quite know how to do it and I need someone to help me.
Can the classic night clock be added br 3rd party becaus im sure samsung just dropped the support on the phone after oreo..
I miss these 2 features, makes me want to go back to nougat or root and loose OTA.......witch isnt a big deal cause I dont think there will be any more major updates.
To use edge light on every app you must enable pop up notification in app and then edge light works, also with screen off

Thanks! I did that, but it still wont work, although I wont use it with screen off because of privacy issues.
I really like the video on lock screen, can convert gifs and make cool lock screen, but I still miss the old feature. :crying:
