Problem Statement When using rhe glance feature to notify me about whether my flashlight is on, it only works with the stock flashlight, not the glyph interface 'torch' Proposed Solution Just add a notification for this as people with the nothing phone 1 and 2 use the glyph torch and not the flashlight (its way brighter) Alternatives Considered No response Priority Medium - Would improve my experience Contribution I would be willing to implement this feature Additional Context No response

Problem Statement Since Essentials doesn't have Root Access I'm guessing the upcoming Pause Point feature relies on App Usage Info which has numerous issues. Apps that rely on it are often very glitchy and unreliable. They can often also trigger with a delay which makes the user experience worse. It would work make the feature not feel as native as it would otherwise. Proposed Solution If implemented as an LSPosed module this feature can directly hook into the system framework and trigger the pause point before the activity for the app even launches. This would make the feature a lot more reliable. This would prevent a dependency on App Usage Info which can be wildly inconsistent. Reference for code implementation: https://github.com/hxreborn/biometric-app-lock Priority Medium - Would improve my experience Contribution I would be willing to implement this feature Additional Context If anyone wanting to contribute needs any testers I would be more than happy to help out! I'm running

Problem Statement I want to use duo plugged charginh animation, but the plugged charging animation in One UI 8.5 won't go away even after I remove the battery icon from the status bar with essential/goodlock. Proposed Solution If you can turn off the animation, it will be very helpful, especially since the duo feature already has animation, so it's like it's stacked, I prefer the animation from duo Alternatives Considered No response Priority Medium - Would improve my experience Contribution I would be willing to implement this feature Additional Context No response
