Hi folks! Sorry if I'm posting the wrong thing in the wrong place at the wrong time, as it often happens too n00bs on such structured forums as XDA's. Please move/mark this post as you see fit if it goes against the guidelines.
I have recently stumbled upon skreksto.re -> products -> durr The Faceless Watch, which immediately seemed to me like an insanely useful accessory, especially for those who sometimes struggle keeping track of time. All it basically does is vibrate at 5 minute intervals in order to challenge your perception of time. :cyclops: There is an article on The Verge which also discusses the Durr, exploring the "Faceless Watch" in more detail. There is already an [apparently, pretty buggy :silly: ] app for the Pebble Watch, which emulates the same functionality. I couldn't help but wonder if you awesome XDA folks could be interested in making a program which would add that functionality to the Galaxy Gear. (and, due to the nature of the GGear, such a program could probably run on any android device, given its very minimal requirements).
I am not experienced with Android programming, so it would take me ages to do this on my own - and even then the end result would probably not be very usable. That being so, I decided to come to the experts to see what they [as in, you] would advise - and if anyone can spare a minute and some lines of code - we can do this
So... Please, Advise!
Cheers
sounds like super easy things to put together in 15 minutes, but i see absolutely no use for it.

I have to say, I wouldn't normally have found the idea useful, either. Problem is, I can't post links yet - otherwise I'd point you to the video and review which I have looked at. Either way, it may still not have been something you would want on your wrist - i guess that is personal. but I'd like to ask people to search google for Durr and, if nobody at all likes the idea, I'll make do myself. Otherwise, we may have a 15 min project
I could maybe make a tasker app? not sure though

Hi, thank you very much for reply! :victory: That would be a really great start! Then all one would need is the ability to exit said mode. :good:
If you decide to pick up this little project, feel free to delegate tasks to me. I'd learn a lot from something like that. Do you use a Gear?
This is possible, although this wouldn't be used in a all day type scenario would it ? It wouldn't be very battery efficient otherwise.
I find this useful perhaps while public speaking or something along those lines where you want to track your time real time in discretion.
This is definitely possible using tasker without a doubt. Although as I said, will only be useful if used for short intervals.. otherwise quite simply your gear's battery will die.
A better option would be a hard coded lightweight application that would run in the background..

Awesome! :fingers-crossed:
Definitely not for running all day. However, the way I envision benefiting from it is by allowing it to run while doing something unproductive (fb/twitter/random article/picture of a cat) - in order to not allow a 5 min read become something more.
As for public speaking - although I had not thought of such before your post (nor was it mentioned in the original Durr article), this could possibly be among the best applications for such a gadget.
Thanks a lot for replying :good: :laugh:

Yes, I am a Nullified Gear Owner since December 25. @fOmey would you be able to code a light app such as this? I have no idea. Lol
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
@fOmey Speaking of NULLified ROMs, I will try to flash it on my Gear soon [again]. I suppose this would make the tasker app easier to use also. I had tried the NULL ROM [flashed using ODIN] some time ago, but had a problem with the device freezing. Do you think I should try it with Heimdall?
So, basically you want an app that vibrates (for say 1 sec) every 5 minutes? And maybe with an on/off feature?
I could get you that within some hours, depends when I can get the kids in bed

Should it be a vibrate pattern or just a 1sec long static durr?

Oki., got the function working now.
WIll just add a simple On/Off function and then it´s online... Hold on!
Just an idea:
Every time the vibration is different so as to recognise the time without looking.
05= 1/3 second vibration
10= 1/2 and then 1/3
...
35= 3 x 1/2 + 1/3
...
50= 5 x 1/2 seconds.
Different profiles = different custom vibration patterns!

Wow! You rock! :good:
Oki, here it is, pure and simple.
This first release is only working as a timer, so no connection to the actual time.
So from the moment you tap the settings to "On" it will do a 300+300ms vibrate every 5 min until you tap it to "Off" again.
So if you want it synced with the clock, be sure to tap the "On" setting on an even 5 minute
Try it out and we can develop further later on...

Thanks for this, I'll be sure to test it soon. I do a lot of public speaking so I love the idea of having it vibrate at set times as I often find myself checking my watch to keep track of time. I'd be willing to send some compensation your way if you could get it to work like a simple notification system. Vibrate in that pattern at pre-set times, for example, after 20 minutes, after 40 minutes and after 45 minutes from the time it starts.
This would help me a lot.

Hi. Ive been searching for an app that can/will vibrate when your writing a msg. Does anyone know about that? Ive been searching and searching and didnt find anything about it. I miss it from my lg ku990. It would be really cool, if my diamond could do the same. I hope someone will help me
here ya go.. put it in the startup folder if you want to to run always
this seems to be a recurring topic, think its a feature alot of people would like, but many of the apps that are currently available have too strong vibration.
Something like the vall hiting the wall in teeter would be more appropriate feedback for a key press
yes, I would also love a tiny feedback like in teeter.... this one is also too strong for me.. I had to stop using it after an hour because it drained too much battery... and its also to loud

It could also be really cool, if we could adjust the vibrations in 3 or 5 levels.
So everybody can adjust it to what they like.

Second that notion - would add a new level of depth to the phone if we had an app to customize vibrating feedback for certain operations - and if they felt like the ones in teeter then WOW!

You'll be the man of the month, nah lets say year, if you can make this to all of us I dont know how hard it is to make. The only problem i see, is how to adjust the vibrations. Its a tricky one.
the frequency or wave of vibration will be very important.

Hiya!
One night i was playing too much on my phone, and it caused me to have a dream about it. In that dream I had a great lock screen, which actually came from the "smart life" video. It should be on your phone as well, but if not, I post a youtube link here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaSRP4jGvVo
Check the video at 0:40....
Does anybody gets what I mean?
I'd be happy to see this as a lock screen, and let's say the lock screen background would be different. Or blurred a bit.
Unfortunately I'm not a dev, but I'd really give money for this one!!
Who else likes the idea and would pay for it? It might motivate some devs
Definately doable but I don't see it happening as a developer would probably have to model and animate the effect in 3D which is a lot of work. There might be some similar open source graphical design that may be ported, I don't know.
But a very cool idea, though.
Yes, I was thinking about this as well, but there must be a template somewhere! If not, than get a camera, do it in real life, record it, and do the math on the pc. Not sure how it works, just trying to find a solution.
Please somebody!!!! We are waiting for it!
You all may want to take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrdrBefMAEc
A physics cloth-based interface for Meego! Obviously not as productive as regular 2D interfaces, but looks like a fun interface.
Wow, not bad at all! Wish we could see something like that on our SGS!

You can stop doing that as well as waiting for this to happen. This would require massive amounts of programming as well as implementing of entirely new api, etc.
Not gonna happen in next few years.

If you need to get rid of it, you can set it to manual update to save on processing/battery, then swipe it away and define the empty next screen as your home screen, and add more for the original multi-pane android home feel. You could, for example, add 5 home pages ... scroll to the third empty one, declare that as default home, and then have the equivalent of a typical 2-left, center, 2-right android layout, and you can lways flip further till you get to blinkfeed if you ever do ant to play with it for a while.

I actually like it! I use flipboard on a daily basis while listening to music. I wish the time/weather at the top was swappable with music controls or some other useful things.
One thing I haven't seen in any video is how BlinkFeed has an impact on power/data. I think I saw someone mention that the feeds only get updated when you swipe down to refresh? I am not sure if this is the only way to update or if there is an automatic timer as well. If it only updates when you swipe then certainly it shouldn't affect battery/data too much. I know that only headlines and pictures are updated when you refresh and the content is only downloaded once you press on an item.
would blinkfeed use too much of juice and ram has anyone had demo unit
I actually think its a pretty neat idea...it'll help me keep track of GSW trying to keep their playoff spot or the LAL trying to get in to the playoffs haha.
But that's what I was thinking...I mean you could just unsubscribe from all that news and nothing will show up...right?

It doesn't really matter. As others have said, you can turn off automatic updating and set another screen to be your homescreen, thus never having to see BlinkFeed again unless you want to. I'm glad HTC allowed for us to move away from it if we want to, but I imagine myself using it since I think the design of it is great.
I am not convinced of it as well as I like the clean sense look, my first challenge will be to hack this out or somebody else might do it before me, let's see

It would be interesting to see if someone could make it so you designate a certain screen/page as the 'BlinkFeed' screen (similar to setting a page as the homescreen). That way you could remove it entirely or move it around so it could be in the middle of all your screens.

Not to be a jerk but you could've answered your own question by simply using the search function in settings. Before you could fully type "Touch input" it will have narrowed it down to the setting you were looking for.
That setting search function is an awesome tool with all the options we have.

No I read that you did everything you could. The sad thing is typing on the literal text in the setting search would've taken you right to the answer.
I just wish you put as much effort in the "exhaustive search", as you put into griping about good advice..
I mean you could just take a gander at the screen shots and see how easy it is.
Nevermind next time you get a pop up that's too hard to decipher, you can make the daunting task of searching settings.

Wow you are seriously butt hurt over this.
Literally you could've been like "wow, so many ways to do something on this phone thanks for one more tool in my tool box".
Nevermind checking the extensive manual that answers a lot of these questions. Let's not pretend this is hard info to find. It's the phone doing what it was designed to do, not some broken feature you need to troubleshoot.
I keep forgetting this is XDA, it's easier to ask for the answer right in front of you as opposed to learning how to answer the questions yourself.
I'll report back to my support group and tell them mission accomplished. Someone learned something new.
Knowing is half the battle!

If you pick up your phone with your hand over the proximity sensor (top of phone), you will get this pop-up. I turned the setting off and it went away but the screen did unintentionally come on while in a pocket. Therefore, it appears best to leave it on and ignore the message.
Can a mod delete pcriz's comments and androidwarriors responses after the question was answered. I think this topic was a valid question.
Samsung has switched up a lot for the better but the downside is they moved it all around. We are stuck in such a monotonous get to point A to point B environment these days the answer was right in front of his face but he couldn't see it because he was too used to the tools he always uses. I am still learning little things about this phone as I go too. I think his question was valid, seeing as Samsung experience is still quite new, Samsung experience is such a huge improvement over TouchWiz, the note9 is loaded to the gills with features and nuances and Samsung (and other OEMs including Google) having features that have trained us to a certain mindset for years. Coming back to the note line after a hiatus hasn't been overwhelming for me but I can see where coming to the note would be like a longtime Android user switching to iOS or even vice versa. For me, still using my work iPhone is so underwhelming I can't figure stuff out and I am pretty savvy with tech. iOS users can find Android overwhelming. And listening to the apologies Apple users come up with now, compared to yesteryear, when many people are finding out iOS isn't as easy to use as has been claimed, it's just what they grew up on, kind of like learning a language. There is a lot to grasp by being immersed in the ecosystem, but more to find out by asking details and learning, learning that can be turned into a tool to find more stuff on your own. Dude obviously tried and put out one more flag up for something he might not have had control over and the response was douchebaggery at it's finest. I find the questions dumb when people are asking me how do I get such great battery life and how they can do it but are unwilling to take their phone off full brightness, theme it to take advantage of OLED's self emitting pixels and are stacked to the gills with social media and email accounts because they have to be that connected and are not willing to streamline portability. Finding the sweetspot for my notifications on the note9 was aggravating for the first time in years as there are many layers to it now. I had to experiment and read about other questions to figure it out. Settings are still taking some time to get used to with main settings, app settings and figuring out where the granular settings are when they're not in places or labeled to what we are accustomed to. To each his own but pcriz obviously overstepped the bounds for a valid question.
