Download Always on Display (AOD) APK from MIUI 12 for your Xiaomi devices

Always-on Display (AOD) was first introduced by Samsung and LG in their high-end flagship devices. It basically keeps the screen turned on with very minimal power consumption while giving necessary information on the lock screen. AOD, at first, could only display the time and date while the phone is on standby or charging. Not it can display animations or even photos from gallery. Xiaomi recently teased the MIUI 12 firmware update along with a bunch of cool new features including the always-on display. But to our surprise, thereโ€™s a workaround through which you can use the AOD feature from MIUI 12 on your current Xiaomi devices running MIUI 11 ROM as well.

The AOD feature was primarily introduced for smartphones with AMOLED displays. Since it turns off majority of the pixels on the display and only lit up the required pixels. This way it consumes very little power and gets the job done. But nowadays OEMs have launched it with phones having LCD panels as well. As a result, they may consume more of the battery. This is because LCD panels donโ€™t work the same way as OLED display panels. In LCD displays, the whole display will remain turned on all the time. Xiaomi itself has a bunch of phones which LCD panels in them and as per the sources it will may only work in the phones having AMOLED displays. Users can still try if it works on their LCD powered phones.
