How to Add Custom Themes to Always On Display on Galaxy Note 8

You know that even when your Galaxy Note 8 display is “off,” it isn’t really off.

XDA Senior Member Mr.Ash.Man might help you with that. To be more precise, one of his new mods allows users to add custom backgrounds to the always on display, something Samsung doesn’t seem to like too much. There is though no surprise in that.

Using such images to always be shown on the display could cause some serious burn-in and drain the juice out of your battery in a blink of an eye. The developer has created some special mods with only two backgrounds but skilled users will be able to use any background they want.

And keep in mind the fact that none of these mods need your device to be rooted nor do they need any special privileges. You must though enable Unknown sources in Settings > Lock screen & security.
