ArcLighting Dynamic Now bar 9.2-prod

SymetiumUI integrates accessibility services to provide optional features, such as customizing the navigation bar color to reflect the primary color of foreground applications and enabling users to create personalized presets for various locations on their device. Importantly, no user information is collected during this process.

The application enhances the user experience with multiple visual indicators, including audio visualization, notification lighting, and alerts for critical or low battery statuses. A distinctive feature allows the ring to display on the Always-On Display, although it is currently in beta and may experience intermittent functionality. Users might benefit from a third-party Always-On Display app if the stock option does not perform as expected; in such cases, it is recommended to disable both Samsung/stock AOD and Samsung edge lighting within display settings. Additionally, ensure that the third-party AOD activates properly when the device is locked and that AOD is enabled in Arc Lighting with the override setting turned off. For those opting not to download a third-party AOD, there is an override toggle within the app, but this will force a fingerprint icon onto the display due to Samsung's policies.

Features include:

• Highly customizable lighting for Galaxy S10, S10+, S10e, Note 10, OnePlus devices, and even unsupported devices; options include various colors, animations, and styles.
• Manual alignment adjustments for unsupported devices (NEW).
• An adjustable glow effect that can be toggled on or off.
• Notification lighting for both active and inactive displays.
• Music lighting that syncs with your music (please note that this feature disables other lighting options when activated).
• Battery indicator lighting for charging statuses and low/critical battery levels (custom zones must be set for optimal functionality).
• A device overheating indicator designed for gamers and power users.
• Optional rotation animation that can be turned on or off.
• Gradient color options available.
• Arc Lighting configurations can match your wallpaper’s colors or the active application’s colors—or both.

This application necessitates specific permissions to operate effectively:

• Accessibility Permission: Enables the ring to appear over the lock screen and Always-On Display while accessing the active application's color—this permission is essential for proper functionality.
• Draw Over Other Apps: This permission permits the ring to display atop other applications—also vital for functionality.
• Microphone Access: This is used solely for analyzing internal device audio for music lighting; it will only be requested if the Audio Visualizer indicator is enabled.
• Storage Access: Required to obtain the color of your wallpaper; this permission is prompted only if you opt to have the ring match your wallpaper color.
• Notification Access: Utilized to adjust the ring's color based on incoming notifications.

Burn-in Considerations: Some Android displays may experience mild burn-in due to static images being displayed for prolonged periods. Users can disable default effects to ensure the ring only appears during active indicators. Samsung Galaxy devices include burn-in protection that shifts pixels slightly to mitigate this issue.

Known Issues:

• The app may crash when adjusting positions; a simple force stop and restart will usually resolve this issue. Position adjustments can be finicky.
• If the glow freezes over other applications, turning off the glow feature may resolve this.
• Certain indicators like battery temperature may overlap others; consider deactivating these if issues arise with lighting functionality.
• The AOD override should only be used as a last resort if no other solutions work.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• How do I disable individual notifications? Currently, this feature is planned for future updates. Meanwhile, you can set each application's custom color to 100% transparent to avoid notifications from specific apps.
• Is it free? The app remains free indefinitely, provided users watch a brief advertisement every hour; multiple ads can be viewed for extended usage time. Purchasing options are available to completely disable ads.
