Active Display is a feature that most of the Android devices lack. Moto X was the first phone to implement the Active Display feature and it was soon ported to other devices by the ChameleonOS developers. Active Display works by displaying your notifications on your display in a minimalist fashion, without turning on your entire display. It gives you the information you want while saving battery. You can either ignore them, open the notifying app or view the notification’s preview. The drawback of the Active Display feature created by the ChameleonOS team is that it’s limited to phones with a custom ROM.
Thanks to XDA developer AChep, any device now running on Android KitKat with the stock firmware installed, can now experience the Active Display feature using the AcDisplay application from the Play Store. Jelly Bean support will be added as well. The developer re-designed the user interface completely such that the notifications are much easier to read and displayed in a nice manner. As soon as you receive a notification, a small banner will pop up on your display showing you the notification.
As mentioned earlier, the application doesn’t require your device to be rooted and is battery-friendly which is one of the benefits of using this application. However, the application must be given Device Administrator status so that the notifications can work properly. AcDisplay is a very useful application and is available for download via the Play Store for free.
