Horizon Light - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Has anyone got this working on the OP8Pro? I note that there is some reported problems after the most recent Android update but I have seen mixed reports about whether it actually works at all?
If not is there any WORKING alternatives?

working fine on mine??

Really? Am I missing something? Does it continually pulse, does it conflict with other settings etc?
I have seen people post issues when it was introduced on the OP7

When you get a text the sides of the phone light up...? Not sure what isn't working your end

Just that. No lighting up.
Does it only do it once too? If so that's a bit daft as you have to be looking at that exact moment

And like that it's now working.
But it only pulses once which seems a bit daft. Anyway to change that?
Also, it doesn't seem to work with anything other than actual texts. No email, no WhatsApp etc

This is how horizon light works...
Just pulses once when a notification comes...
Only one time...
Doesn't work as a LED notification...
Otherwise it will **** the battery

Really? A pulse every now and then would **** the battery? I think not!
So you've got to check your phone on a whim now to see if you have a notifications. Brilliant design.

I mean horizon light it's not supposed to replace LED notification...
Actually is useless...
Just a gimmick...

It's there a Magisk mod to make it persist say every 30 seconds? Or even choose which apps it works with? Having it pulsing overnight because a bit of spam got emailed to me would suck.

You can try to customize it by using this app

Cheers, prefer not to use an app, but will see if it's something that can persist after the charges are made.

Trackball Pulse Notification...

I was wondering if there was any way to make it so that the trackball blinks more often than it does when I have a notification (especially email)? It really irritates me how slow the rate is... I have to stare at it for like 10 seconds to know if I have a new message.

I think this app has some settings inside that may make the trackball do this....
The same guy has an app that JUST allows you to change how often the trackball links and nothing else:

is this a board rule or something?
anyways to the OP no current 2.1 is fully functional without issues. use a 1.5 if you want that, i recommend pancake without sense.
if you want a fully working 2.1 rom wait until the devs get their hands on the final build released from sprint hopefully this month?

Hi to you too.
No thanks.
Cool, thanks I am running fresh2.0d and I like this rom but the trackball light and the sound issue concerns me, because I dont know if it is fixed. I downloaded the fix but last night I got no sound again after I changed my autokiller setting,so I changed It back and it has been ringing all day, so I dont know if it is really fixed.....

mmmmm good
Fresh 2.0d has lwp (they don't work in Sense, but that is a problem with Sense), it has the trackball fixed, though all the button lights have some weird glitch, you'd have to try it to see it, but at least the trackball is in sync with those buttons. It also has all the sound working as well. I highly recommend it. I've been using it since it came out and I'd say its 100% functional with virtually no issues.
On RegawMOD 2.0.2p, I have LWP running and sticking with the regular Home, not sense, but they do stick. you need the 2 apks for it though.

I don't think it is. People have gone 20+ hours just to have the problem happen again. the fix seems to stave it off temporarily but as I have found, it seems to come back sooner or later. Oddly enough, some people just don't seem to have the bug at all. It is an issue in the audio driver of the kernel though, it is there in everyones phone. Just haven't figured out what causes the bug to surface in some peoples phones but not others.
So is there a new update because I have fresh 2.0 and the trackball did work until I dounloaded the sound fix and the trackball light went away...
So it still has the 7 screens or is it the one screen?

[Tip] Alarm when power off

Hello,
I just want to remind you, that the alarm-function will work while the phone is turned off! It seems that many people didn't know this. :good:

Oh, really? With third party apps too? I didn't know that for sure! Thanks.

I use the the stock Clock app. But I didn't try any other apps so far.
Edit: See Martin-Doc's post below, solved my issue. It works!
I've only found it to work when the phone is 'turned off' with QuickBoot enabled in the developer options menu. With my device fully powered off it didn't come on when it was supposed to. Just sharing my experience so hopefully no one misses an important alarm!

Really? I use it every day and I never used QuickBoot.
But better save than sorry, so everyone should test it out bevor using it for important things

Yep! Just did another test just to make sure lol. Set an alarm for 9:17, turned my phone off at 9:15 and nothing happened. Turned it on at 9:20 and had a notification of a missed alarm.
That's pretty weird though, I wonder why it works for yours and not mine. As you said, always test it before you rely on it!

I'd just make a test and the result it's the same.
The phone boots up 2 minutes before the scheduled alarm. You left it less than 2 minutes when you turned it off, that may be the reason why the phone didn't boot and sound the alarm.
just tested with third party app, doesnt work even if I wait about 10 minutes. Testing now with the stock app.

One thing I miss about my nexus 4 alarm is...I always get a popup when alarm goes off on that. On opo it just rings but shows nothing. I have to pull down notifications and press snooze/turn off. Is it the same for you guys?
Don't know what's so special about this feature. It's supposed to do that.
Heck, even my Nokia 3210 did that back in the days.

My old Nokia did this too.
But my Sony X10 and Galaxy Note 1 did not do it, so I've never had a smartphone with this feature, I am happy that this was brought to my attention

I definitely get a pop up, or rather the clock app opens automatically and is showing on the screen while alarming, so I do not have the problem you describe.

Forgot this was a function after numerous phones I've had couldn't do it. Thanks, mine works while turned off (No Quickboot)

It's crap because it's missing a lot of functions. you can't select playlists for example, and that's essential for me, because I like to wake up to a random song, and not to the same one every morning.

It's all a matter if opinion, but I wouldn't call it crap, based on that reasoning. I have no desire to wake up to music, or random songs, a standard buzzer is fine for me. And as such, I feel it is perfectly adequate
You're entitled to your opinion, as well, of course

Annoying Turn off data pop up

So after the july update, everything seems to be cleaner on my phone. But i just noticed 1 thing that annoys me for the past few hours.
When u turn on ur mobile data it goes juz like normal but when u wanna turn it off, there's a annoying pop up message that wants confirmation from you.
Anyone knows how can i turn that off?

And the scroll lag is still here + the effin proximity sensor issue. This is a joke and now I'm almost certain those 2 are hardware issues.

If you use Xposed (Warning - This breaks Safetynet, even systemless Xposed does) then you can use the module named I Said OFF! to turn off this annoying pop up.
Custom ROMs don't have this annoying pop up if you are willing to ditch stock.

led notification

I have tried both alternatives to the lack of one on the 6T. Nice apps ,but just not working out for me .. considering all the posts on the subject, does OP have any plans for a fix/update, @funkwizard? Thanks in advance
Have moved over to the OnePlus community.. Moderator, would you close this please? Thanks in advance

I'll be honest, I don't miss the LED notification. It really frees me to not be a slave to the phone. I use Mighty Text on the phone and at least while I'm home, notifications will show up on my laptop. The last few days I've been using their Chrome plugins which adds more notifications to the desktop, but I'm about ready to uninstall that because it can be really annoying.
I miss the LED terribly but haven't had time to look at the software alternatives. I often need to have the phone completely silent/no vibration, and not being able to see what's going on via varicolored strobing LED is a miss. Love the phone otherwise, but I really gotta sort out a solution using ambient display or some such, without killing the battery.

Plusbeat. I've tried pretty much every other app none of them work well but that one.
Plusbeat is the best one. Love it
I use AOE and it is working great for me
I actually despise when people post
"There's a beer going your way
Confirmation number blah blah blah!"
Because i ponder and ponder and fail to see any other reason than bragging; however, I'm only doing this to convince you of how much i like the app! Do note, this isn't a premium i paid to unlock functionality, it's just well deserved, in my opinion...

It's a app that lights up the edge of your screen when a notification comes in. It can also light up the Status Bar area if you are in another app.

Very nice aod but it eats too much battery, it was at 18% battery usage, so I uninstalled it.
I am going to backup my stock rom and try the new aod magisk module
