Dear Samsung!
The 6.1 update ruined the AOD for everyone, there was a missing brightness setting and the colors are disappeared. I would like to ask you to restore the possibility of the customizations. If you remove features from time to time nobody will feel the urge to upgrade their Samsung phones anymore.
The previous AOD was beautiful, the font size was big enough to read even the battery percentage, the notification icons were colorful and there was more space between the clock and the notifications, it was obvious at the first glance if there were notifications or not.
Now the font size is smaller, everything is white, the notification icons are almost unreadably small and they are too close to the clock. I would like to see colors on the AOD (this is why I bought amoled) notifications just as before: red for gmail, blue for telegram, green for missed calls, etc...
Outsourcing the AOD options to a different application (good lock) was a bad idea in my opinion, but removing features is even worse.
Thank you in advance!

It's not fair that I have to start using my Note 20 Ultra again just to get my normal AOD back. Nobody asked Samsung to totally gut the AOD customizations. The notification icons are so small now I can barely see them, and them also coming stock in all white now is ridiculous. You can change them to a color, but it changes the whole row to the same color. No individually colored notification icons which IMO defeats the purpose. Having Facebook blue, YouTube red, whatsapp green, Google messages light blue, made it easy to see what you had at a glance. Now the AOD looks like a trashy Google phone. Their AOD has almost zero customization or colors and that's exactly what Samsung has done. I know xiaomi and all of the other Chinese phones have beautiful AODs with the actual apps for the notification icons. If Samsung doesn't fix AOD with the One UI 8.5 update for the S26 line of phones, I'm leaving them...which is sad because I've been with them for over a decade.
