Features
AOD Manager lets you automate your device's always on display.
Shortcut to the always on display
Always on display toggle is usually not easily accessible in your device's settings. It is not the case with AOD Manager! You just have to open the app to toggle it.
With the Quick Settings Tile, you can even activate it from your notification panel!
AOD Manager lets you use multiple modes to automate the activation of the always on display. However, if you temporarily want to keep it activated or deactivated and ignore the other modes, you can lock the status. It can be unlocked whenever you want. Note that the system settings switch always overrides AOD Manager's.
Notification Mode
Activate the always on display when you receive notifications.*
Never forget notifications again! With the Notification Mode, the always on display is automatically activated when you receive a notification. When you no longer have notifications, the AOD is deactivated. This means you no longer have to frequently check your phone for new messages, and you can stay focused on what your doing!
Notification Mode settings:
Acknowledge notifications: Are there notifications you want to keep on your lock screen, but that you have already read? Acknowledge them! By clicking a button, the always on display is deactivated for the currently displayed notifications.
Ignore apps: Is there an app that keeps sending you notifications you do not want to turn on your screen? Ignore it! Select all apps you do not want to turn on the always on display, and your screen will remain off for their notifications.
Charging Mode
Activate the always on display while your device is charging.
You like being able to see the weather, clock and notifications at a glance, but you are worried about the impact it could have on your battery? AOD Manager lets you enable the always on display only when your device is charging!
Even better, with Auto Turn Off, deactivate the always on display when your charging device's battery reaches a level you set.**
Setup
AOD Manager requires a setup before you can use its features.
Always on display management permission
A special permission is required for AOD Manager to toggle the always on display: WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS. There are two main ways to grant it. A step-by-step guide is provided in-app, but it is highly recommended to read the instructions and make sure you are able to complete setup before downloading the app.
Without a computer – Using Shizuku
Shizuku is a free Android application that can be used by apps to get access to hidden Android features. You can uninstall the app when setup is complete.
Download Shizuku. You can download it from multiple sources, although Google Play is recommended for safety reasons.
Open Shizuku, and proceed to setup as explained in the User manual. Start via wireless debugging is recommended if you do not have root access on your device.
In AOD Manager, under Enable use of Shizuku, tap the Allow access button. Allow access to Shizuku from the prompt that opens. AOD Manager needs the permission to use Shizuku to grant itself the permission about the always on display.
In AOD Manager, under Grant permission, tap the Grant permission button.
Tap the Check button. If the permission was successfully granted, a banner appears to inform you that you can continue setup, and the Check button text changes to Next. Tap it to go to the next step.
With a computer – Using ADB
ADB (the Android Debug Bridge) is a developer tool that can be used to send commands to your Android device from a computer. You can uninstall ADB from your computer when setup is complete.
Install ADB on your computer. You can find a number of guides on the Internet. For example, you may follow the instructions from the XDA website.
When ADB is installed, connect your computer to your phone and send the following command to grant AOD Manager the required permission:
adb shell pm grant com.jouve.aodmanager android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Access to notifications
In order to use the Notification Mode, you may grant AOD Manager access to your notifications. Notification Mode will not work without it.
In AOD Manager, tap the Grant permission button in the Listen to notifications step. The system settings are opened to the corresponding page. Tap AOD Manager in the list and enable access using the switch.
Send notifications
In order to use the Force AOD Refresh option, you have to enable AOD Manager to send notifications.
If your device is running Android 12, you have nothing to do.
If your device is running Android 13, a prompt will be shown the first time you toggle the option. If you do not enable notifications in this dialog, please go to system settings to enable it in order to use the feature.
