Well, the best part is you do not need root access or any other special permission for it to work. However, before you start, you’ll need to do a few things to prepare. First, you’ll need your device to be running the Android 8.1 developer preview. You must setup Substratum and Andromeda on your Android Oreo device.

- Hit Select to toggle on overlays;
- Up next, you must tap on the button that looks like a floating paint roller;
- Next, tap on Build & Enable;
- Then, don’t forget or hesitate to reboot the device. It’s a must for keeping all the changes that you’ve made;
- When you phone turns back on, go into Settings and select Display. Tap on Advanced and then Ambient Display. If it worked you should see a new option titled Always On. Toggle it off and then toggle it back on.
