Always On AMOLED

Always On AMOLED is a screen information tool that lets you keep key updates visible even when your phone is in standby. Instead of going dark and hiding notifications, it helps your display stay active throughout the day so you don’t miss important alerts.

This lightweight, practical always-on lock screen monitor delivers a smooth always-on display experience. You can quickly check essential details—like time, date, and notifications—without unlocking your device. It also includes helpful automation options to wake the screen when you want and to support better battery efficiency.

Top Features of Always On AMOLED

• Receive Notifications Continuously: Notifications can update on the screen without unlocking your phone.
• Always-Visible Essentials: Key details such as date, time, and battery level remain displayed.
• AMOLED-Friendly Performance: Built to run efficiently on AMOLED displays to help optimize usage and reduce battery impact.
• Notification Recognition: View notifications directly with custom light effects surrounding the display.



• Color Coding Options: App colors and effects are fully customizable so you can recognize alerts instantly.
• Smart Notification Behavior: Highlights important warnings and notifications without forcing you into full-screen mode.
• Eye-Catching Visual Effects: Delivers enhanced lighting effects that make your phone stand out.

Performance & Setup

This is especially useful if you want quick access to screen information without turning the display off and back on repeatedly. After you grant the required permissions, Always On AMOLED works smoothly.

You can then use the settings toggle to tailor the experience. Customization options include adding background screens, configuring notifications, showing clock widgets, displaying persistent warnings, and more. You can also adjust font, font size, and choose a color palette to match your style.

The app uses a swipe-based rule system, so certain actions run only when your phone’s remaining battery hits a chosen level or when the phone is in your pocket. It also provides a night mode option and supports gesture-based actions.

User Feedback

“Really nice and simple app that just works, and is free…” The reviewer says it has been stable for weeks and recommends it, while noting the clock face selection could be larger (for example, adding more variations like “3rd party faces”).

“Works pretty well… Always On AMOLED seemed to have the customization and look I wanted.” One user mentions their LG G8 ThinQ already has an AOD feature, but it can’t be customized as much. They chose this app after comparing options and recommend it.

“Generally it is a very good app…” A user reports that sometimes when pressing the power button to turn off the screen, the AOD doesn’t switch correctly, leaving a black screen. They also mention that tapping within the monthly calendar clock can accidentally select a date—suggesting the clock face should be locked. They add that the app doesn’t support dual clocks, which they find helpful when traveling.

Final Thoughts

With straightforward, user-friendly controls and a set of powerful tools for always-on screen elements, Always On AMOLED turns your Android device into a more convenient platform for staying informed at a glance.
