Database Develop

Check this out: Lockscreen Widgets

I haven't tested it out yet but this caught my eye... put widgets on your lockscreen like Touiteur or Mixzing... etc...
For only 99 cents!

I've now tested it a little more... You can also add shortcuts and change the style of the lock...
It does show the stock lockscreen for a second sometimes before it loads up and sometimes hangs before unlocking... but like mixedlemon said below... its a lot better than Lockbot... and does widgets!
I'm using xtrROM3.0.3 @ 748mhz

Saw this, it looks pretty sweet. Don't have any cash on my card at the moment though, so I can't try it out.

This is awesome, it's working great.
Nice find!

I saw this app the other day. Apparently, the developer is going to be releasing a new verison within the next week which will include different slider styles as well as sliders that can have different functions. Seems pretty sweet. I just need to know if there's any lag when in use.

i actually have noticed some lag every now and then... still trying to decide whether it bothers me enought to return it or just keep it... its only a buck i guess....

If you'd like I could record a quick video before you buy it, putting it through a stress test with a screen full of widgets or something.

That would be great actually! Please note which ROM you're using as well as OC speed (if any). Thanks

I'm running KaosFroyo v23, overclocked at 710MHz.
I'm at my college right now, so all I had to record with was the webcam on my laptop, so sorry about the video quality
You can see it showing the stock lockscreen for a fraction of a second sometimes, but it has a nice fade effect to the widgets, so it isn't too obtrusive.
Certainly not as bad as lockbot was
Hope this helps

After viewing your video, I decided to give it a go. It seemed pretty fast when I used it (xtrROM 2.1/OC-710mhz), however, I really couldn't think of which widgets to put on it haha Also, it seemed to interfere with the Handcent sms popup feature. Anyway, thanks again for the video! Very in-depth...

Thanks! I'm glad I could help.
I've never really used handcent, what are the advantages of its SMS popup over, say, putting a messenger widget on your lockscreen?

I like it because it pops up over the lockscreen, but if you don't access it within the normal screen timeout (I think), it goes behind the lockscreen. The popup allows you to delete the message or do a quick or voice reply. You can have it set to mark the message as read if you close the popup, but if you press the back button on the Eris itself, handcent still shows the message as unread, which I find useful if I want to do something else but still have that reminder in my notification bar. I also have my Eris set up to go to the compose screen with a long click on the search button.
Sorry if this is confusing. It's just my personal preference.

downloaded this morning and really like it. Very flexible. anyone notice any performance or lag issues since install? mine seems to be solid so far.

Yes, I have as well. I got curious about what could be causing that. In addition, I've noticed that often when I unlock, my Pure Calendar widget shows no events. Occasionally, even LP itself has to redraw all the homescreens, which takes at least 5 seconds. First, I tried changing the LP memory settings to "medium." No effect. Then, however, I thought that maybe the "Helper" app that the developer suggests we use as our home app, has something to do with it. So, I decided to change the default home back to LauncherPro. According to the dev, there is some sore of 5 second delay when pressing the "Home" button on the device if the helper app is not set as the default home. I have found that contrary to what he has said, THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I can unlock via my custom sliders AND the Home button, and there is virtually NO detectable delay compared to using it with the helper app as the default home.
Observations after resetting LP as the default home:
-- No disappearing events in Pure Calendar (scrolling enabled)
-- No redraw on exiting lockscreen into homescreens
-- WidgetLocker STILL replaces stock lockscreen at boot
-- Battery life versus helper app as default home: I used the phone for several calls (one as long as 26min), texts, and occasional data, and was able to squeeze around 17 hours out of it. This seems to be better than using the Helper app as the default home.
-- If you enter WidgetLocker from your app menu, News/Weather widget will cease rotating among news items. However, if you reboot and let WidgetLocker replaced the standard lockscreen by itself, it will act like normal.
My setup:
-- XtrROM 3.0.3
-- No OC
-- Nexus One lockscreen patch
-- LauncherPro 0.7.1.0
-- WidgetLocker notification bar icon disabled
Sorry if this was long-winded and confusing. I hope this helps anyone on the fence about buying this app or those on LP or with Pure Calendar who are experiencing similar problems. After these tweaks, I can now say I'm glad I paid for this app!

//////////// WE'RE BACK!
Hello again everyone!
After a far too long hiatus building out the Whisper app, (whisper.sh, check it out). We're back for some Senti madness. We've learned a hell of a lot over the past year and are ready to drop some delicious app goodness on you guys. We started by rebooting Wayk. We rebuilt Wayk from the ground up to be a lean, mean, Wayking machine. It's working wonderfully, and we're soft launching this puppy one more time. We've got some sweet features and upgrades in store for you guys and just can't wait to get it all out!
Glad to be back,
Cheers!
////////////////////////// Original Post
Hi everyone,
This is Zed, a noobie developer at Senti. We just soft-launched our first app and I wanted this wonderful community to help us test it out and gather feedback before we started to promote this bad boy.
The app is called Wayk. What we've done is try to completely revamp the way you interact with your alarm. We've created an actual wedge clock that makes setting most alarm times only two taps away. We've also made it so that you just have to wave your hand over the phone to snooze it in the morning. You're greeted with a voice response. We've added your calendar and news feeds for you to read when you wake up in an easy to read format.
We've got a lot to add to this app, but we wanted to guage your interest before putting in the time, because we do have quite a few apps in the labs right now.
We'd really appreciate bug reports, feature requests and improvements you might have!
Thanks!
P.S. You can see screenshots in the market description or on our website http://senti.in

Great! Looking forward to your feedback

Looks cool, will also test tonight.
Edit:
Downloaded, installed without a problem. Ran a test alarm. Initially very impressed with the app design and modern style. The wake up voice addressing you by name and telling you the weather and opening Cnet was awesome. The swipe to snooze feature works for the most part. In the morning in a groggy state I don't see it working well enough to be as convenient as a quick mindless swipe, you would actually have to make sure to slowly go directly over the sensor for it to trigger properly. However I need to actually sleep and then try it before I make any real comments.
The only negative things were that on my mdpi HTC Aria on cm 7.2.0 the first pane of the tutorial goes below the viewing area and you cant swipe down to see it and cant go landscape. Also that on the alarm time set screen with the radial menus, the listed alarms and times go below the viewing area so that to save and finish the alarm you need be careful not to mess up your alarm settings while doing so which I did a couple of times on accident.
Also, on the radial menus you can set any time by five minutes, but how do you set them to any number in between? For example I want to set an alarm for 7:33 in the morning, so I tried messing with the smallest inner circle bar and could barely ever get it to move when I wanted it to and ended up going to another interval five minutes later.
Overall really impressed over the improvements from the default alarm. Will try tomorrow in a real sleep and then wake up setting to see if everything is still good.

Wow! I appreciate the feedback already. I can see the issues are mainly stemming from our weak accommodation of mdpi devices. We'll get that sorted out asap.
If you had been able to read the clock screen on the tutorial, it would have told you tapping more than once on a 5 minute wedge adds a minute. It's interesting that you tried interacting with the minute wedges themselves. We'll look into adding support for that, since it seems to be a (more?) natural interaction.
Thanks a bunch for your input so far! I look forward to seeing how it works for you in the morning!

Looks nice. Downloading and installing now.
Will let you know in the morning!

I suggest you test it out real quick now, if you have something important to wake up for in the morning. Just in case.

Love the app so far.
Just did a quick test to see if it works, and it does.
It did have a problem loading my Calendar, it just said Loading...
The waving thing worked
Some suggestions:
I really like how to overall UI looks, when you start the app it shows ALARMS in a organized manner and thats really good, but when the alarm actually rings, I think you should change the sign from the sun to something else, or that in HD because it showed up really LOW res on my phone.
Also Make the MENU button options icons like NEW ALARM, SETTINGS etc. a better suited color. Green,red, etc does not look good on this simplistic white/blue UI.
Another problem; When selecting what time the alarm should be go off on, we cannot choose by exact minutes, or am i doing something wrong? You should probably add the feature to just press the [TIME] and keyboard pops up and then you can customize the time.
Also how does the voice work? I'm going to sleep right now, and do not want a weird voice talking to me and freaking me out in the morning so i've turned it off for now, but i'll report on it later.
edit: also you should probably add a alarm clock icon to the notification bar and make it optional to remove/keep it so people know if the alarm is active or not.

Here we go. I love it. The UI is awesome and simple. Everything works. You guys should try and add voice command!

You can set exact minutes by tapping on the currently highlighted 5 minute wedge. Each tap adds a minute to the wedge.
This is obviously an issue though. We failed to deliver a sensible minute setting method.

We understand that the stock android voice is terrible, so we made the voice interaction as low key as possible. We think it turned out really nice and unobtrusive. You should try it out!

I think they were asking for a notification in the notification bar that says when the next alarm is going to ring with the option to enable or disable it in the settings. Would you like to see that feature included as well?
Btw, thanks again for all the help everyone. It's invaluable and we really appreciate it!

I've downloaded and installed it. I'll let you know how well it works tomorrow morning.
Honestly, there are too many good clock/alarm apps out there. I have Dock Clock for when my phone is charging at work in the morning, Alarm Clock Plus for work after noon (I like to listen to music at my desk and ACP has an awesome option to include widgets on the Dock Clock, meaning I can have google music controls while still displaying the clock), and some combination of those and stock alarms for waking me up in the morning. Now I get to add this to the mix as well!

Great App.
Very clean and easy to use.
Will there be a 24 hours clock?
Created with Galaxy S AOKP

Nice app indeed, i really like the whole concept of making available the infos you need in the morning all at once.
I had some problem though:
-the ringtone the alarm uses is not the one I choose but the stock one
-except for the first time I used it, it force closes when snoozing and doesn't show any of the feed selected
Probably the FC i due to the fact that I run a custom rom. I will test a little more thoroughly, may be I find out what's the problem.

There are no plans for adding a 24 hour clock. We'll run a poll to see if there is enough interest. We have plans for a possible overhaul of the clock. Adding a 24 hour option would be really easy if we went with the plans for the new clock. I'll keep you posted.

Hey man, I want to thank you for this app, and not just that but i love how you're taking in all the suggestions. Great developer. Will be using this app for a while. thanks

this app is awesome...however is there a setting to make it so i have to press a button to disable the alarm...i think simply moving the phone is wayyy to sensitive...in a half-sleep state i feel like i could easy touch my phone and fall back a sleep...especially if im trying to "wave" and enable snooze

Can't confirm it right now, don't have my phone, but there is a option to disable the waving feature but im not sure how you would snooze after that..

[Q] Curtain app like Samsung

I used to have a Galaxy S2 before moving to Moto X, and the config curtain made me miss the Samsung Galaxy S2 curtain, where you just slide and choose to disable/enable what you want without the need of a widget. There is an app which does the same thing no moto x?

android already has this built-in, unless i'm missing something.
when you hit the settings button in the upper-right of the notification bar, you get a quick list of things like wifi, BT, etc. to disable/enable any of them, just long press (long press BT, turns on/off BT).

I know that, but I got used with the feature on samsung, I just have to slide one finger and have access to that. Without the app I'd have to slide, click and choose between thousand of icons, that's the feel I get.
And also, I like to disable screen rotation sometimes, that google just forgot on nexus template

i'm still confused. thousands of icons? do you need something additional from the standard five? i've used the power toggle widget since 2.x but ever since they added those same settings to the notification bar, the widget isn't necessary.
if this is what you're referring to, it looks more confusing than android's solution:

What I meant is:
on Galaxy S2, I just had what I needed on the curtain, which was wireless, mobile data, sync, rotation and few other things. That was enough. 1 line of icons.
Now on moto x I have pull the curtain, click on top right icon leading me to almost a screen full of icons and missing the auto rotate, when just a ribbon/line was enough.
On Galaxy S2 (ICS/JB) is very short, in the 3rd picture you've shown, it almost like visual pollution to me. the 2nd is more the way I like it.

you can use gesture controls in third party launchers to go directly to toggles. I use Nova Launcher and have it set so that when I double tap the screen the toggles open. you can assign other gestures instead if you wish. Have a single finger swipe down open notification shade, two finger swipe down for toggles for example. If you're rooted, you can use gravity box to change which tiles are displayed and in which order.

Could you disable the app icon on the left corner of the status bar?

If you select it to show battery percent, it replaces the app icon. Chris

Dot View Mods is a collection of modifications for the HTC One (M8)'s Dot View cover.
This module requires an unlock key for most features: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.dotviewmodsforhtcmateunlockkey
Features include:
Control your music playback and see what's playing right from the Dot View cover.
Add gestures to the case and customise them.
See notifications at a glance, with support for all Android notifications. (enable the listener in Settings -> Security -> Notifications access)
* See the full notification when it first comes in: your notifications scroll across the screen.
Quick dial contacts right from the cover, with support for up to 9 shortcuts spread across 3 pages.
Don't have a contact and still want to dial them quickly? Open up a full dialer right from the cover.
And if you're bored:
Play a quick game of Snake, retro-style!
Compatibility:
This module was coded with the stock DotMatrix application set to 480DPI, the developer cannot guarantee it'll work fine with other DPIs.
If you have other modifications installed, support cannot be guaranteed.
Usage:
Dialer:
Swipe up to call the number, swipe down to close the dialer. If no numbers are input, a swipe up redials the last person called.
Swipe from right to left to delete a number, tap and hold the numbers at the top to delete all.
A future update may add speed dial from the stock dialer.​Snake:
Tap the HTC logo on your cover to pause the game, tap it again to save progress and quit the game.​Shortcuts:
Swipe left and right to change between shortcut pages.​

Great collection of m mods for the dot view. I bought the unlock key shortly after I installed it, great work.
Will you be posting future work here @MohammadAG?

Yep, I realised email was bad for this kind of stuff since a lot of it is repeated.
I'm done with exams, so there should be more updates now. I've already added a torch feature.

Awesome, looking forward to it!
I have a couple of suggestions:
- Is it possible to make it so that none of the apps are turned on by default for notifications? So that people have to add the ones they want rather than untick the rest that aren't really useful?
- Is it possible to disable gesture controls completely? so no menu or music control etc?
This module will be perfect for me if it is as close to stock as possible, with the addition of custom notifications of course
Anyway, keep up the awesome work :good:

Believe it! Play SNAKE at Dot View. also play song.

I'm having trouble with it actually wo4king for long periods it will stop displaying notifications after like the first notifications (so after a message it will no longer work) also the dialer will work when it wants too I've had like 3 instance now were the phone will stay stuck on the dot view look even if I open the flap... I've Uninstalled it and reinstalled same issue
Any suggestions???

New version is out:
Major features:
Custom gradient support, pick the top and bottom colors from the settings app. Non scrolling text now uses this gradient.
Torch feature, either using gestures or menu items
For everything else, see the change log on Xposed.
Reboot immediately after installation.

If it sticks on the screen, that's actually a crash, I'd need a logcat to debug that, but you need to use adb to get that.
The new version, however, has some bug fixes that will should reduce (or prevent) crashes. Try seeing if it still happens there.

I belive I got a log cat never had to make one so yea... Do you want it via personal message or??

I just downloaded the module, tried and purchased the unlock key in less than a minute. Also I wrote a positive comment at Play Store. Great idea @MohammadAG! I hope to see more functions soon!
Best regards.

Here is fine, I only need the lines starting with AndroidRuntime

Downloaded and immediately paid for the unlock key. Exactly what I was looking for, love your work.
How does one actually trigger the snaka game? Taping on the HTC logo isn't doing anything for me.

You'll need to add it to the main menu in settings, same goes for the dialer.
Tapping the HTC logo exits the game.

Thanx for the quick response.. Working perfectly so far!

Awesome update! Shukran @MohammadAG?
For anyone having trouble with the app recognizing the license key after the update, uninstall the license and then reinstall it... It should work after that.
Loving the new features, keep up the good work

I like this mod but they is still some stability issue.
It happen my phone can't unlock and stuck during using dot view play song.
Force restart is the only way.
I believe this module will became better and better.

I'm going to need a logcat filtered for AndroidRuntime. The reason the screen is stuck is because behind it is a dialog that says DotMatrix has stopped working and you'd need to click okay (which you can't).
But still, a crash is a crash and it needs to be fixed, so please, post a logcat

5.1 no notifications on lock screen (nothing at all)

just upgraded to 5.1 (love it so far) and I don't see any notifications at all on the lock screen.
I made sure it was set to "show all notification content", I've also set the individual apps to be priorities.
I'm used to getting the music player on the lock screen as well, but I get nothing.
I made sure the moto display was all turned off in case it was interfering.
Anything else I can check? I really miss the music player, and not getting anything on the lock screen is a pain.
Thanks!

Try a factory reset.

On the Verizon Droid Turbo with the soak test?
Any issues with the soak test should be reported on Motorola's Forum so they can look into causes and fix it.

Quick question, are you waving your hand over the front to get to the lock screen, or are you pressing the power button. I've noticed that I have to press the power button to see active notifications. Hope this helps.

yes, I did report it there as well, but have not heard anything yet. This community tends to be very smart and quick to have answers, so I'm reaching out here as well. I'm not sharing any info about the test or the code, just something I'm experiencing, so I'm not out of line for the soak.

I don't use that feature, it stays dark unless I hit the power button (I have both of those moto features turned off, didn't care for them).

It may come to that, but I'm hoping to avoid it. I really hate having to rebuild everything after a wipe. Thanks though!

Not saying you are out of line, but there aren't going to be too many people here with 5.1 that can help,, and Moto needs to know of any issues.
It is probably related to the new Ambient Display. The following is from the 5.1 release notes:
Moto Display and Ambient Display
While your phone’s display is off, Moto Display will continue to surface relevant notifications to you using the low-power Contextual Computing Processor. It will also intelligently react when you use the Approach gesture under Moto Actions.
Android Lollipop also includes a similar feature, called Ambient Display, that displays notifications like those shown on the lockscreen. If you prefer to try the new Ambient Display feature, you can uncheck the Moto Display setting in the Moto app. Note: Ambient Display does not use Motorola’s low-power core and will turn on more of the display, so battery life may be impacted. The Moto Actions Approach gesture will not wake Ambient Display.

Maybe try switching to the Moto Display mode instead. That is all the advice I can give as I am still on 4.4.4

Just remember if its anything like previous soaks, they don't want you to do a factory reset unless they ask you to... Sorry it's not a simple turn your phone off then back on again solution. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Ambient display is the function that gives you your messages on the lock screen, that needs to be on.

Spot on, not for the right answer, but for asking the right question. Even though you asked it tailed with "this maybe a dumb question", but it was the one that would have solved the problem from the beginning.
I've learned something today (southpark style), ask the right questions even if you think they're dumb, and the most obvious reasons are most likely the right reasons.
Had to get this wisdom out of my system :silly:

Tried it, that's not what I'm looking for. I don't want it to wake up the screen on its own. When I power button unlock (to lockscreen) I want the music player or the notifications. I currently only get the pattern to unlock.

Just so we are on the same page this is ambient display when I hit the power button. It flashes the info for a few minutes because we do not have a notification light. But I only see this when I hit the power button.

Once ambient display is turned on you need to go to "sound and notification" under settings, from there go to the notification section and, where it says when device is locked, click on that and show all notification content

1 - turned on the moto version, it gave me the moto notifications while it was locked (black screen with little white icon for a second) .. so hat works, but it's not what i'm talking about
2 - turned on the ambient setting, it did nothing..
both scenarios, the "show all content" notification option was selected (has been this whole time).
It's the notifications that are shown in the image above that i want, but I get nothing

Yeah, the image I posted was using ambient display, under display settings. The notifications appeared when I hit the power button. Have you tried wiping cache? It's a long shot but it might help. At least exhaust all options before factory reset, you know. Sorry I couldn't help more.

+1 try wiping cache, if it doesn't work, I am afraid a factory reset might be needed, which I usually do after each major update. The update app optimisation usually causes more problems especially when migrating apps to use ART.
