[UTIL][Version 1.1 Beta]TouchWatch (Touch designed timer application)[ONLINE] - Touch GSM ROM Development

Hi,
I want to contribute my first application written in VS2005 VB.NET Compact Framework.
.NET Compact Framework must be installed on your device. Application needs around 700kb of memory.
This is a simple timer application with four configurable countdown timers. Set an description and a time (hh:mm:ss) and stop/start/reset timer with your fingers only. No need to use the stylus pen.
Touch the timer ones will start it. Touch it twice will stop it. Tap&Hold the timer will reset it. Needs no more explanation. The app is self explaining.
You can change the background image
You can change the audio wave notification file
You will get an vibrating response from your device on start/stop/reset timer
If a timer is running your device will not enter standby/sleep until all running timers count zero (configurable). If you want to use a long timer be aware of battery usage. Be sure that your backlight switches off after some time. If your device switch off for any reason, you will not be notified that a timer count zero. The application isn't able to switch your device on.
Settings are stored in registry "HKLM\Software\M_G\TouchWatch" and all configurable from the application.
THIS IS A BETA RELEASE FOR TESTING...QVGA ONLY...NO LANDSCAPE MODE...
Installation: Just copy the .cab to your device and execute it. You will find an icon in the start menu.
Version history:
v1.1b: -edit timer window now opens with buttons instead with the menu.
-added vibrate response features
v1.0b: first release (beta)
TODO:
Add stopwatch functionality
Use gestures to reset and edit timer
D-Pad support (maybe)
Landscape support (maybe)
Source code
You will find the source code of the project as attachment. You are allowed to enhance this or use this as example or whatever.
Support me with a donation for future developments
Thank you!
New version is released!
Check out the version 2 of Touchwatch here:

Have fun.

GREAT
nice to hear that its ur 1st application.....any ways i will test it and let u know further....thanks in advance

hello,
nice app! can i make a suggestion ?
it would be great if you could add d-pad control! since then we could use this app on non-touchscreen devices (smartphones) also.
thank you in advance!

Hi lopez1_de
Very nice program, been looking for something like this, but havn't found anything quite as nice as this.
Keep up the good work
Flemming

That is exactly what I was looking for for workouts in the gym.
Good work, lopez1_de!!!
Suggestions:
- Typo in options menu: should be "off", not "of"
- Some feedback when you start a timer would be nice, so you don't have to watch the seconds in order to see if it's running. Maybe a short vibrate or the timer's panel flashing.
- Maybe a left-right sweep across a timre's panel yould open that timer's configuration screen?
Thanks for that program.
Cheers,
nc

Good application, but I wish to have it without new .NET! .NET is slow and use my memory very much!

thanks
Thank you all for suggestions and ideas. Nice to hear that you like it. I will try to implement the following things into the next version:
Feedback on start/stop/reset
Config button for each timer
bye
EDIT: In the moment I have no ideas how to implement d-pad control.

Please test the new version 1.1b of TouchWatch.
Have a nice day... (it's sunny in germany)

Yes, I know about it. But I'm only a hobby programmer. I'm not able to write C code.
But the speed of the timer on my Elf is perfect. The only little problem is that the application uses ~840kb of memory while running.

V1.1 is near perfection in my mind. Wonderful little app.
I've been searching for these exact features for a while now.
Thanks a lot!

Hi, I tried your app, thanks very much: very usefull!!!!

Excellent work.
This is now the prgogram i use when I time the breaks in between sets when i work out.
On my screen everything except the timers' digits and the icon for the timers' configs is black.
I'm pretty sure it's due to my extensive Wm6 customization, though, so it's not a bug. I guess your program uses wm5/6s BaseHue color derivation to paint itself?
Would you mind sharing your source code? Maybe I can help cut down on memory usage?
I have no experience programming C#, though, but I have done quite a lot of Java, and I recently got hold of Visual Studio 2005 Pro to start mobile development.
Ignore the transparent top bar, that is also due to my customization.
Cheers,
nc

Hi.
PDA customizing. A never ending story...
To paint the graphics I had to override the OnPaint event. The lines and timer text are drawn correct. The bitmap should be visible also. Maybe you have selected an incorrect path to the file or maybe you selected another image format than .BMP.
The code is very basic. No big problem to code something like this for a hobby programmer. I use a variable which holds the seconds...then there is a timer control which ticks every second and increment the variable. Then convert the seconds to a time string and display it on the screen. Now capture OnClick events and get the X,Y coords of the stylus to check where the user clicked at. Then I used OpenNetCF for the vibrate features. Thats it.

Nice program, would be even nicer if you could ad a stopwatch functionality also. So not just a countdown but also a count-up?
Keep up the good work!

Great app. Great for boiling eggs and what not..

[Jan-10]: [App] [G-Sensor] [Brand New] The XSense v1.2 Final

Credits:
Foremost, let us all acknowledge Koushik for his brilliant "Sensors" library upon which most if not all non-HTC apps that use the G-Sensor, Light-Sensor, and Navi-Sensor are built, simply ingenious. Moreover, I would like to recognize No2chem for the NeuLed2 library which is an equally exquisite peace of code that allows access to the Diamond/Pro Leds. Without those two guys, accessing these advance interfaces on the diamond/pro would be inapproachable at best.
Reason: HTC gave these phones lots of sensors, lets give them.."Sense".
......... EXTRA-Sense ...........
* Hopefully an innovaton, though mostly an integration of RANDOM but needful features...
Features:
1. Courtesy Profiles:
- Set Volume Profiles to activate on Face-Down & Face-UP events. Choose from: None, Silent, Normal, and Vibrate. You can also choose to suspend the Phone when its facing down.
2. Notifications-Sense:
- IF there is/are any outstanding notification(s), the device will vibrate whenever you move it - at customizable intervals: Missed Call(s), Voice Mail, and SMS.
3. Stylus-Sense:- When the Stylus is in/out: Will play sound + Blink the Back button's light.
- When the Stylus is out and the device is moved: Device will vibrate faintly + blink the Back button's light to REMIND you that the Stylus has not been placed back in. This goes on UNTIL the Stylus is placed where it should be.
* Uses "in.wav" & "out.wav" files in the \XSense\ Dir; you can use whatever wave files for this. OR, use the UI to select whichever wave files you want!
4. General Settings:
- Polling Interval: From 200 to 3000 Miliseconds. This determines the rate at which the G-Sensor is polled. Lower values give higher response times and fluid operation at the cost of battery life & CPU utilization.
- Flash Navi Lights: Will blink button lights to notify you of Profile changes and Stylus In/Out.
- Vibrate on Events: Will induce very subtle vibrations to notify you of Notifications and Profile changes.
- Suspend when UP-Side-Down: ???
- Light Navi Button When Suspended: Will do just that when the Light Sensor senses Dim or Dark conditions. This is an independent setting that turns ON the Navi button's light at suspend time, and OFF at Resume time (this is Event Driven, so no polling is involved). This feature really helps if, like me, you want to see where the damn thing is in the dark - before you launch it against the floor.
5. Installs to "\Program Files\XSense", and Creates 2 shortcuts:
"Start Menu\Programs\XSense" and "Startup\XSenseSvc".
Program Settings are saved to the Registry at "HKCU\Software\XSense\".
Use of System Resources:
1. Diskspace: 162 KB RAM footprint: 374-535 KB Battery: NOT observed.
2. CPU Usage: %0.29 Average. Spikes for 2 seconds to %2.7 - %8.5.
3. Battery Impact: Neligeable if at all!
* Indicated CPU usage occurs ONLY when there is an EVENT (posture changed, stylus in/out Sounds playing,
etc)
- Vibration: The way I like it is in waves of 200 miliseconds length! I generally hate vibrations, so if you want it at 201 ms. you're welcome to make your own program and exercise your personal taste.
- This prgram Registers Event Handlers for: "G-Sensor", "Incoming Call", "Phone Call in Progress", "Stylus in/out", and Power Manager events. DO NOT move it to Internal Storage, you have been warned.
Requirements:
.NET 3.5 + HTC device with GSensor & Light Sensor.
Compatibility:
Specifically designed for Diamond & Raphael, but will work fine on HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
Bugs/Limitations:
Knock yourself out...
Release Notes:
- This is the LAST revision/release/app I make; programming too much work
- Download & Install the CAB
- Run the XSense from your Start Menu\Programs, customize to taste, and enjoy!
Change Log:
- Brand New UI: VERY "finger friendly" this should be especially useful if you have a WVGA Device
i.e. HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
- Revised entire code for existing & potential bugs, and Performance
tweaked to death.
- Removed various functions (auto speakerphone, car-kit options, etc...). Use "Touch InCall Screen Tweak" for these,
its handles Phone/Speaker brilliantly!
- Shortcut added to Startup for automatic launch after reboot.
- Shortcut with a nice icon added to Start Menu (Credit to VetVito).
- General Tab:
- Navi Button will only light up if the device is in a dark place, i.e. You will
always see where your phone is (before you trash it against the wall).
- Stylus Tab:
- UI elements to select & set sounds for Stylus-in/out events.

of what? my profile switching to silent on face down? The UI is fantastic and finger friendly: big elements, animation, colors, etc... take my word for it...
Doing something wrong?
I tried the program, but the only part working fo me (Topaz WM 6.5 Infido ROM) was stylus in/out, producing the appropriate sound. Everything else was not (shifting profile ans so on...). What I am supposed to do besides going through the settings and load the program (red arrow)?

Thank you dear, glad you enjoy it
I like it, thanks. On my TD2 I can still see the tabpage1,tabpage2 on the bottom however (tbh im happy with that, makes the program much faster to set-up) and even though I just installed v1.2 it still says v1.1 in the about page.
i like the program, especially the options like suspending on upside down. I do have the feeling it puts a bigger drain on my battery, but that also might be my 6.5.3 ROM.
I do hope that you keep on updating the application, adding more options and perhaps tweak it a little bit performance and battery wise -- if possible.
For version 1.3, I hope you can add the option to disable the sound when moving the stylus in and out of the phone. And to answer your question; yes I am too lazy to make an empty .WAV file.
Also, do you think that disabling certain options will make an impact on (CPU-)resources the program uses?
Thank you very much for making this app, tbh Im kinda surprised it doesn't get a lot of attention (considering last post is already the 11th of January). I find your app adding features to my TD2 which it should have by default and that I find extremely useful. I hope you keep on expanding options and features to your app, and that your v1.2-'FINAL' version is in fact not the last update of this program
Basically; please keep on developing.
Thanks Great APP

[APP] Goldfish Memory

Hi everybody,
I would like to present you my new app. If like me you forgot everything, I'm sure you will enjoyed it
It's called Goldfish Memory, so the goal is quite obvious It's a todo list, but a todo list mostly based on the location. I've noticed that when I've something to do, I know where to do it (at home, work, when leaving the subway, etc.) most than when to do it.
So with Goldfish Memory, when you create a new task you can set it a place and when you arrive at this place, you will receive an alert that you have something to do, whatever the time. Next, you can ask to be alerted again in 5 minutes or the next time you will come back to this place. It's quite simple and you can set any address you want.
As it's a todo list you can also simply define a date and hour at when you want to be alerted. If you combine both date and location, you will only be alerted when you arrived at the defined location, the day you've setted or, at the latest, at the hour defined.
It's a nice and simple app and I've just finished it so I would be happy if people try it and more if people like it ! Don't hesitate to give feedback (goods or bads) !
The app doesn't use GPS (too slow, not battery-friendly), only network location. The algorithm adapt itself to the current accuracy (which vary a lot) in order to find when to trigger a task. So don't worry, it will not drain your battery and it will work even inside buildings or underground.
The next fonctionnalities I've planned to implement are :
- synchronisation with some online todo list services (Google Tasks, RTM, etc...)
- add action buttons directly in the notification on Jelly Bean
- the possibility to repeat a task every days/weeks/months
- improve the algorithm for triggering a location-based task using the speed
- and more !
If you have other ideas, I would be glad to hear them.
It's free and on the Play Store so, if you are interested, you can try it now : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fourmob.geotasks
Great idea and app...but lets face it. GPS lock is slow on most devices and it kinda stops the whole purpose of this app. Now apart from that its a whole lot better then the paid apps that just give normal to do lists. Good job

Hi, thanks for your comment.
You're totally right, that's why I don't use GPS, only network location : always available and battery friendly. Accuracy isn't always great but I've made a small algorithm that adapts itself to the current accuracy. I tweak it regulary to improve it, it's also why I'm looking for feedback. I'm quite happy of it for now.

Great job, great idea, great design. :good:
Like gmaster1 said, its better than all paid apps I tried. Moreover, its free and without ads (very enjoyable).
Sometimes, Goldfish alerts me too far from the location I set. Not too bad because I snooze for 5 minutes later but it could be better! It would be interesting to accurate the position with real GPS fix. You can do this occasionally, randomly (with a heuristic) or thanks to an algorithm. What do you think about that ?

Thanks for you comment
Due to the network location provider used by the app, accuracy can vary a lot (from 200/500m to 1500m) so, with my algorithm, the trigger radius varies with the accuracy. I prefer that the app alerts you too early that never. If it's too early, you can always snooze it like you said.
But I'm actively working on this part. In a future release, I think the app will sometimes turn on the GPS or Wifi in order to have a better accuracy. I'm still working on when to do that and it will be optional because I know a lot a people don't like that apps turn on/off sensors without asking. So, stay tuned
very good and user friendly design. I like the app and its very helpfull

Thank you very much !
To be user friendly its one of my main goals. I've tried a lot of todo lists and if I've ended up making my own it's also because they tend to have too much options. In the end, they are more organizers than todo list. But me, I only need a todo list. So : Goldfish Memory
I like the orange fonds but try using the Light theme which is a white backround. It may look better than the black. Or give the user the option to switch between several as I dont particularly like blackish backrounds

Why not. I will try it in a future release. Maybe an option to change the widget background too. Thanks !
Ok. Had it for 3 days now and no probs but...the widget. I feel it should be resizeable on ics (like fb widget on ics tablets) im not sure if this is too much to ask but its just that when i only have 1 task the rest of the space take up too much space i could use for other widgets. Maybe a small scrollable widget would be easier to make then resizable. So i can have the big widget when i need it and a small one when i want it. Or maybe widget buttons that keeps the widget small but changes current task the widget shows with 2 buttons. And maybe (just as a widget extra) add +task , delete task and edit task buttons for a better widget ui (the app ui its self is great)

Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, the widget is definitly something that will evolve in future releases. But, it is already resizable. Do you mean that it should be more resizable horizontally ?
Scrollable widget is already planned. Concerning more actions directly in the widget, I will think on how to integrate that.
I've planned a new release for the end of the week, so I will try to add the widget stuff in the next one.
This is an amazing idea. I love the concept and design of it. I have never really use any task reminder app before, but if i want to use one, that will be this app.
Thanks for developing and sharing the app here

At which point it failed ? Are you using the quick task button or do you use the full form ? It's a strange bug because the only thing I can see now is that the app can't access to the internet (needed to make the translation from the coordinates to an human address). Do you have ICS with a quota for the network data ?
don't need this app. but came in to show support. this app looks so beautiful. awesome job on the design. flawless by the screenshots.

[App] Write - a word processor for handwriting

Write is a word processor for handwriting, available for Android 3.0 and later and Windows tablet PCs. Write is similar to other Android notetaking applications but provides a unique set of tools which ease the editing of handwritten text by grouping strokes into lines, much like typed text in a word processor.
Write supports the S-Pen, although Samsung reserves the pen button for system-wide gestures.
Free on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.styluslabs.write
Features:
* tools: draw, erase, select, insert space, and add bookmark
* move strokes and insert space in multiples of the page's ruling
* reflow handwritten text with the insert space tool
* insert bookmarks and label them with handwriting
* cut, copy, paste selection
* unlimited undo/redo jog dial
* pan/zoom with two fingers
* customize and save pens
* user defined page size, color, and ruling
* pages can grow automatically as you write
* split screen with web browser to take notes from web pages or videos
* html/svg document format viewable in any modern web browser
* export or send document as single html file or all documents as zip file
* view thumbnails as a grid or list; drag and drop to change list order
Comments, bug reports, and feature requests can be posted to this thread; I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

I like this app so far. I only tested it for a few mins. I will give it the full court press for a week or so and report back.
right off the bat I like the add space function.
This program is tiny but powerful to write down somethings as its name. Consider about the saved files to exchange in other non-glaxay-note tablet or phones, even on computers, at least it's very easy to share the notes.
For me, some points to wish to add and I'll say it's perfect.
One thing is about bar buttons, add the function on the icon click to move certain lines and press to move to next page.
Second is, how about use different color on every 10th line, or add a small number at every 10th line? It well be helpful for user to identify the position of the note easily.
The last thing is the sync function, although I use dropsync to do this job. But still a build-in sync is a welcoming function.
Thank you for your hard work to make note-taking as easy as on paper!
I've tried it.
Main thing is that, if I'm not wrong, there's no pen pressure sensitivity.
Otherwise it could be very interesting.
I like some features of this app, like most of them, I wish they would all get together to make a super writing app. The zoom and pan with this app has been a big issue for me, I can not rest my hand on the tablet to write without it going crazy, I have switched through all the options for imput types, and when I remove all touch, there is no way to move the screen to write stuff, only go down to next page and this is difficult to write and reference things previously written down.
I do like the add space option and how it exports to .html for access on everything. There is also a nice select feature with the app. This could be very nice if they got with lecture notes and samsung to get the kinks worked out. Also my writing is a bit jagged here.
Not bad, has some decent features. I think Papryus is better overall though

Love this app! The ability to insert lines/words etc.that's great!!
I have the same issue - S Pent button will not delete after setting it to erase.
I also can figure out how to get different default templates (other than changing the color of paper and ruler)
To the developer - keep up the great work!!

Unfortunately, the s-pen button doesn't work. Because Samsung uses the button for global gestures (like double tap to open s-note), the events never reach Write. The page size and ruling can be set from the Page Setup dialog and the "Make default" checkbox will make the entered values the global default. For example, to get graph paper, set the X Ruling value equal to Y Ruling. A future update will provide some predefined page templates.

In the current version, it looks like there is a bug that could cause this to happen when adding a page to an existing document. This will be fixed in the upcoming version. In the meantime, it should work to set the default for each document.

Amazing app. I've been dealing with it for some days and it really works. S Note doesn't hold the candle to it when it comes to handwriting. S Note may have other handy features, but when I've got to write with it, it takes time and it often does my head in.
Write makes your handwritten page tidyd and clear, you can read your document with any other app and it's fast and smart - Samsung should learn to develop smarter applications like this.
Enjoy it.
Cheers!
It's the Windows 8 version released

Yes, the Windows version is available here: http://www.styluslabs.com/writebeta/ If you have a stylus, you'll need to install the Wacom drivers for it to work properly. The response to touch input can be configured in the preferences dialog. I don't have a Windows device with touch input for testing, so please let me know if there are any problems with touch.
Both Android and Windows versions have just been updated to add a bunch of features including continuous scrolling, lasso select, resizing selections, PDF export, and improved page setup.

Great alternative to S-Note!
I just wanted to thank Matt for his hard work with this! Write's an awesome little app, and Matt's been great with helping me out with some palm detection issues!
Any chance of making this a floatable notepad?
Kudos, Matt, and thanks! :good:

It's great when developers interact with users like this. Thanks Matt!
As I was looking for more info on floating apps, I saw this from AndroidPolice which might be useful for your project:
'StandOut' Is An Open Source Library That App Developers Can Use To Build Floating Apps
For those interested, there is a floating note taker out there... not as great as as Write, but just for comparison, here it is.
Simply the best app . Really tks for share us for free!

[APP] [4.1+] Android Bot Maker - Do repetitive tasks easily

[BETA STAGE] Android Bot Maker​​
Don't expect a perfect version at this stage, any suggestion / bug report is welcome ​
Why is it for?
It's a FREE automation tool that allows you to turn your Android device into a bot, making repetitive tasks easily.​
Requirements:
Rooted device
Android 4.1+ (4.4 recommended)
Features:
Taps, swipes, pauses, text and physical keys input supported.
Wake-Lock to prevent screen turning off
Tasker Plugin integration (synchronous tasks)
Delayed start, gives you the necessary amount of time to do what you need before starting the execution.
Share / import your edited files (.csv extension files)
Add, select, switch, edit, and remove actions from the list.
Export it to a shell script, runnable from the terminal emulator or via ADB.
Add widgets to run prebuilt lists
FAQ / TIPS:
To edit an action long press it and change the desired values
Bot not stopping?? To avoid weird behaviours, please add at least one Sleep action just after any other action, setting at least the amount of time that the action consumes. (ie. 1 tap (5sec), > 1 Sleep (5sec).
ABM or CSV? ABM file extension is completely deprecated and you shouldn't use it. ABM files are not compatible between app updates so you should stick with CSV files instead.
Download:

Please test it and report back
UPDATE: Version 3.6 is out!
- Finally added Tasker Plugin integration (synchronous tasks)

Excellent idea. Will be awesome with some polishing
Issues on my Verizon Galaxy S3.
1) Sleep timer doesn't seem to wait as many seconds as you enter
2) When using with an app that hides notification bar its a pain to switch focus and stop the script without 20 other apps being opened. Maybe use a floating icon interface like gameguardian or gamecih use? or allow a hot-key to be set for start-stop? Seems like it always ends up crashing while I'm trying to close apps that it opened. If I switch focus to the botmaker then depending on the script you can really mess things up... first effort I hadn't exported, saved, or even written down anywhere and was about 30 lines long... even though i immediately hit pause when i got to botmaker the auto-taps kept going and deleted about 7 lines of my script before it crashed and shutdown
3) A working directory to save and load scripts from would be great to have. The current import/export seems a little awkward
Will download when I get 4.1

Thanks, I will try to fix those with next updates, the most important bug I found is Android killing the process after certain amount of time

This looks great. Would be great t if we could have a coordinate mapper of sorts. I dont know how to guess the x and y coordinates haha.

Depending on your device and ROM you can do this already. On my galaxy s3 running CleanROM I have an option under Settings->Developer options->Show pointer location. This puts an overlay at the top of screen so you can see the X,Y of each touch.
Great App! Would like to the an option to repeat endless. Atm I have the same sequence over and over.

It repeats endlessly for me.
Just 4.1+ ?
I see definitely great potentials in this app. I will test it ASAP
Great Idea, can you please just add an a record option, It's really hard to know the coordinations i want.
Again, Wonderful Idea
Brilliant idea.
It would be good if you could record gestures for talkback and assign them to widgets / navbar shortcuts.
For example, I`d like to add a widget / icon in the navbar or home screen that would emulate swipe down - then - swipe right as this pauses talkback. My wife has brain damage and is blind and the gestures on Talkback are a right pain in the arse!
I have a Nexus 4 running PA with Franco kernel and I put the said action in, hit play and it kept going over and over. I was unable to pause or stop it. I had to reboot the handset.
That said, this is a marvellous idea. Being able to record complicated multi-point swipes and assign them to a softkey/widget would be fantastic. There could be a security risk (potentially) if the app records silently and stores touches on the pattern unlock.
Good work, OP, good work.
Works great! The was able to take the X Y from my CM10.1 D2VZW and have it drop an item from Ingress! Would like to be able to copy/paste action lines or repeat action etc for repetitive tasks.
Please keep up the good work! I'm very excited about this project.
Very nice app, congratulations :good:
I've recently been doing research on how to inject keyEvents to other applications for the Glass on Android port, and the only way I could find was to create an InputMethod.
Could you please give me some insight as to how you achieved this? Did you have to use the NDK or made use of some hidden API?
been waiting for something like this for so long! thanks so much dev! :good::good::good:
Have been looking for this for so long. Had looked at every inch of Google and couldn't find and there I just bumped into it today. Thanks Dev.

Yes this. I saw this and came here to give the same idea. Making a tasker plug-in with this would be too cool.
Well, actually it is possible but a plugin would be much more comfortable.

Possiblity of adding Quick tiles support and voice?

Possiblity of adding Quick tiles support and voice?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Quick Tiles have been developed and have just gone live in 0.12.alpha.
Voice activation is a different story. There is Google Now and Google Assistant to take advantage of. First one can only use their commands ("set an alarm" etc but not really anything related to our app. No "turn on the lights".) The latter has actions that make sense but it is only in a conversation. (Turn on the light, do you want to turn on the light?, What room? Living-room, etc.). It is quicker to buy a button and get it even installed. So, we need a better alternative like Google Assistant Direct Actions. This is not available without signup (yes, I did signup but no response yet). This is for home automation and suits me fine. It is just the wait until Google's response.
wow 7,50 €lol...hell na
i rather use 4 free apps, that do exactly the same ...even so u might have one or two feature ...i wouldn't recommend anybody to buy this DLC app haha
I bought the app to support the developer, all the upcoming features sound like a dream come true to me. I also like the slick look of the graphics, so thanks a lot and keep up to good work. To anybody else reading this, go ahead and buy this app, it's nice and handy and the upcoming features are even more awesome. Just skip a lunch and starbucks, cheap bastards.
Please, widgets!
I just bought the app, and I'm excited about the features, but I am curious about the quick tiles. When I tap on a tile, it just sends me into the configuration screen without toggling the settings of my lights at all. How do I use these to quickly change the settings of my lights? What am I missing?
I have also noticed that my lights will remain stuck on an effect, even if I have tried to change the bulb status via another method (Alexa, or the button on the back of the Hue Go, for examples).

Thank you for your positive response. At the moment I am working on bug fixes mainly. I expect that most errors have been dealt with for now. Next features I am working on are the schedules, rules, sensors. These should come through in one of the next releases. Some parts are quite far by now. Main issue is lack of time due to school! Soon it is holidays again and frees up time.
For those who have reported "unknown lights" in the section "all lights", I never knew how many lights Hue Essentials would pick up. I have a hard time finding those lights myself in shops and on the internet. Bought some of those IKEA, Osram, etc, for testing, but must say that Hue lights from Philips are best of them all. Just too bad the Hue lights are so expensive. IKEA lights could do with a real improvement...
Many people joined the translation program through the app. Really wonderful to see all those languages coming through! Thanks for all your support!

Have you configured the tile in those settings? If so, it could be a bug that needs to be fixed. Let me know the details of your tile action and type of device.
If you start the effect through Hue Essentials and try to stop it through another method, like Alexa, it will not stop. Effects are played locally and not running on the bridge. Note that this may change in the future releases of the app. You need to stop the effect through the buttons in the app/notification.
what we need is a very good and comfortable home screen widget. didnt find any good out there.

Yes, I get the message. Widgets are on the wishlist (I do not know if this is the same as Santa's list but perhaps we get it before Christmas). For now I first need to complete another request; IKEA TRADFRI Gateway will be integrated as another bridge in one of the next releases.
Is there also a functionallity to add custom actions to the hue dimmers for every button, a bit the same as iconnecthue voor ios?

We love iConnectHue as that developer has shown what Hue can do! Surely, we still need to work on the sensors (smart controls). Our idea is to create extra functionality. There is just a bit too much on the wish-list. First, I am adding IKEA gateway to one of the next releases. Next is scenes and more effects, maybe we will have a look at entertainment at the same time. Widgets are on the list.
Room/Group Colours?
Maybe I'm missing something but I see that I can apply the same brightness level, scenes, and effects to all the lights in a room but I can't see how to set all lights in a room to the same colour without going into each individual light setting...?
Thanks!

The IKEA Trådfri is still under development and not released yet. I think it takes a few more weeks. Still sorting out some bugs
Once it is included in Hue Essentials:
It depends on what you want. If you only want to use the Trådfri gateway, you can just delete your old bridge and then scan for the gateway. If you want to use Trådfri and Hue at the same time, then you would need multiple bridges.
