  • Android 17 Min Mode Could Bring Full-Screen Apps to AOD
    November 2, 2025, 4:22 PM EST. Google is testing a new "Min Mode" for the Always-On Display that lets apps render their own minimal, full-screen interfaces while keeping the same ultra-low-power state as AOD. Likely arriving with Android 17, Min Mode could let apps like Maps provide glanceable, low-power navigation on the lock screen. It's not a replacement for AOD but a separate mode triggered when the screen would turn on. Apps designate a MinModeActivity in their Manifest and register a MinModeProvider in SystemUI to request activation. The UI then shows that component on the AOD and shifts pixels every 60 seconds to reduce burn-in, preserving battery life and display health.
