True AOD
While I'm still waiting for the new Lynx 2 release with working "disable long press LS" feature, I was wondering if it would be possible to add features to turn on stock AOD (Always on display) to be ON all the time. Apple is a shit company that they called it "ALWAYS", but in reality, behind is some "smart" learning system, that turns it on and off by itself. Sound very cool and smart, but in reality so many iPhone users like myself) have issues where that AOD turns it on/off in the middle of the day randomly. And looking at google, I see so many complaints about this stock crappy AOD feature. If you could implement a feature in Lynx 2 to be able make an AOD ON ALL THE TIME, I'm sure it would be a popular feature of your tweak. I know that I have just 2 issues with my iP14Pro, one will be already fixed in an upcoming release and second one is this AOD issue. Maybe your tweak could kill 2 birds with one shot! :)
After some digging I found that it is disabled when the device is in Low Power Mode, a focus is active or the device is connected to CarPlay. I added options to disable each of these individually, hoping that will solve the problem. There was an option for when the device is in thermal mode where it is too hot, but I kept the original functionality of that as there's probably a good reason it's there in the first place. Just submitted the update, was hoping to have it ready for release on New Year's day but oh well
Awesome, thanks for the update! That sounds great and can’t wait to test out if it’s working. I also read in apple forums that it turns off on that same scenarios, but never get the full picture as on official posts they say AOD is learning each user - when, what time and how long each user is using his phone and using that data so AOD could adapt and stay on/off when it thinks each user will use his phone at any moment (or might look at it). All that info seems a lot more then just - phone in pocket/face down, low power mode, thermals.. maybe I missed something or don’t fully get it as I get black screen (AOD off) randomly in middle of day with full batery, screen up, etc. wierd.. but if you looked in code and there is nothing else then maybe you tweak might fix this issue, as my wifes 14pro Max have same issue, but dads 15pro dont..

Was not sure how to send DM, so will write here:
Thank You so much for latest update! LS long press has been truly fixed and I bought extra copy as thank you. But unfortunately this AOD issue was not solved with new feature you added. Even if I turn all 3 options I (and wife's iPhone) still have random AOD off during daytime. But thanks for trying, maybe if You will have extra spare time in future to dig a bit more in to how stock AOD smart learning systems works and how to disable it, that would be extra cool!
As you can see so many have issues and the main culprit could be this step that is on Apple website: AOD will turn itself off when: "You haven't used your iPhone for a while (your iPhone learns your activity patterns and turns the display off and on accordingly, including if you set up an alarm or sleep schedule)." So looks like if iPhone learns wrong pattern or its just a random bug, then it can just turn AOD off in any time thinking I'm a sleep or wont be using my phone even its in middle of day and my phone is next to me on my desk.
