[APP] Flip4Silence - Mute incoming calls via a flip/shake | [HELP NEEDED]

Flip4Silence enabled you to flip or shake an incoming call silent! It can also reduce the ringtone volume if you pick up your phone!
Unlike all the other ones I know Flip4Silence do not stress your battery. It's only active when you need it. This got some drawbacks... but hey, it works quiet well!
About "mute via flip/shake":
A friend of mine changed his good old WM6.5 phone into a Android powered device and was annoyed that you can't flip a call silent with a AOSP - now here it is, without the battery stress
About "reduce on pickup":
Someone with an HD2 told me that his phone got this "reduces volume on pick up" feature and I searched the market to find an app for android... Didn't find anything, wrote it myself! Hope you like it too!
Supported android versions: 1.6 and above
Link to Market: Link
Version 1.6.1
- The collection phase is over, thanks everyone for sharing!
Version 1.6.0
- Added "Improve F4S". It would be great if you could help me!
- UI rework
- Maybe fixed "volume not restored" problem
- The fakevibrator used by the "pickup" feature is now stopped when F4S snaps in
Version 1.5.1
- Gingerbread is now supported!
- Fixed 2 rare force closes
Version 1.5.0
- Fixed that "Vibrate only in silent mode" is not a valid mode to enable the pick up volume reducer
- Fixed a bug where the ringer volume is set to early to its normal value
- Fixed the pick up volume reducer behavior
- Fixed shortcut to the audio settings on 1.6
- Added sensitivity settings for the pick up volume reducer
- Added vibration as an option if the pick up volume reducer can't operate
- Minor UI rework
Features:
* flip or shake your phone to mute it (3 modes)
* Pick your phone up from the table and it reduces its volume!
* notifications after hang up (vibration/sound)
* extra battery friendly
Suppoerted modes:
* Mute a call when your phone is laying on its display
* Mute a call when you flip your phone from one side to the oder
* Or mute via a shake
Any feedback/wish/bugreport is welcome!

Will give a try. I've been using Shake2Mute, which is quite similar.

This wont work on my device: HTC MAGIC, I am confident it has an accelerometer and magnetic sensor because other apps use these features do you have any suggestions?

Hm, it seems that something is wrong with the sensorcheck. You are sadly not the only with this issue but the only one who got in contact with me (thanks for this, looking at the comments and see "does not work" is not very nice :/).
I got some questions to investigate this problem:
1) Am I right that the magic is currently on froyo? You got which version?
2) Am I right that a dialog is shown which says "Sorry, no accelerometer and/or magnetic field sensor found"?
3) As you sad other apps are working, which for example (something that uses the phone orientation)?
Currently I have no idea why the code is working on my device (N1) and the milestones I got for testing here...
For the technical people who might have an idea: I'm currently using SensorManager.getDefaultSensor() with the SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER and SENSOR_MAGNETIC_FIELD constants, any idea why this might not work?

Tested on i7500 with 2.2.1 GAOSP.
It lowers the volume when I take it in my hand.
It doesn't mute when flipped.
It does mute when shaked.
Excelent work ! Thanks !

I attached Version 1.4.1 which hopefully fix the issue many people reported. It would be nice if anyone with the message "Sorry your device is unsupported" can try this one and report back how it performs.

Thankyou Luminger I appreciate the response and the quick fix and this is now working astoundingly on my magic saved my ass in physics class the other day

Thanks,Luminger, Works great on Moto Qunech XT3...thanks alot...

I've tested it on my LG Optimus One P500.
It works great but there is a little bug.
I have only enabled the option to reduce volume when picking it up. After 1-2 calls, the volume remains lowered. It doesn't come back to normal, I have to raise the ringtone level manual from the hardkeys. Hope you understood.
It is an excelent app ! Thank you !

so it's like one of the feature from HTC Sense, right?
gotta try it when I use clean build with no sense..

Yea, sounds like a bug as F4S should move the volume back to the previous level. I will take a look this evening, thank you for the report!

I really hope that you can fix it.
Thank you !

Just wanted to inform you and everyone interested that I'm currently reworking F4S to work around those bugs. Currently I have no clue where this behaviour came from but I think it will be fixed with the rework.

1.4.4 is out now which should fix your issue. I managed to reproduce the error by accident and reworked the code at this place - seems to be fixed with 1.4.4.

1.4.4 appears to keep the "Reduce volume" option always grayed out. That's really the only feature I want from the app, and before this version I had enable flip4silence unchecked and only reduce volume checked.

Hm, doesn't sound good...
Are you sure the ringer vibration is off? Off should be the only option F4S accepts.
Did you managed it to get it working when you change the F4S settings ore the vibration settings?
Which device on which version, ROM?
Sorry that I broke it for you, but it's working perfectly on my Nexus One here :-/

Oh, never mind! Somehow my ringer vibration became enabled again before I updated the app. Great app

Please report bugs here. Do it only if you have Current Release, specified at the top. A bug will be added only if a 2nd user will confirm/reproduce the problem!

I wonder when does the next version come?
thanks for your list

Not everyone has the volume up button bug I certainly do not. Also not sure how the reboot to recovery option would work as we have a non standard custom recovery.
Sent from my Defy on EphuNord rom.

I just tried the leaked version of Google music 3 and it works perfectly with 5.1 so may be we can have this as default music player in the next release.
Edit: how about requests, thanks.

I'm hoping the final version or the next version can incorporate built-in codec like the Korean official froyo. If you have used Jboogie's Blur version that is based on Korean official froyo, it can play almost any type of video formats on the fly without using an app like v-player that relies on software codecs.

[2].DO NOT press Volume up when you are recording, because then your camera will freeze and force close and then you have to reboot

Just tried this out, but no freeze for me.

Another ToDo would be optimizing the battery management.
Stock Roms due its integration of motorola battery manager have a much better battery performance.

before the bootmenu we had a custom recovery that was called by an app, couldn't this call be made from the reboot menu?

so the bugs that i found
a.camera sound when boot (I got red lens)
b.720p playback don't work on portrait but landscape it's ok
c.I used VLC stream&convert to play my video from pc via defy. It took 12 seconds before the video appear. Normally,It takes 2-3 seconds on 3.4.2-177 or 3.4.3-11
The bugs on above i haven't found any except the microphone when speaker on.

ok 10x I will try it

When taking pictures with high contrast, for example outside with sun shining, the camera-app freezes sometimes and the preview looks weird. lock and unlock, and camera works again, but the previous taken picture is not beeing saved.
I can't tell if it's only for the green lense, but it is reproducable and in quarx' thread I saw a few guys having the same issues. I will search and quote them when I'm back home again.

i can reproduce your error when capturing something with high contrast (like a lamp, lcd monitor, or outdoor capturing)
@Quarx, i think stock /system/etc/mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin is just fine.. it's more stable.
less compressed image is not neccesary enough,
we need reliable camera for a nice moment to capture...
imagine you suddenly saw ufo / superman / weird moment in the sky,
you take a picture but your camera freeze..

It seems to be on 5Mpix only. Change focus or auto-flash don't change anything.

Optimus 3d notification led idea

Maybe this belongs in the development area but...
The evo3d got a notification led wich i like...what about if we can make the capacitive button led's blink or something when we have a mail and sms...
Maybe more guys have this idea but well....tell me if its possible and a good idea

It is probably possible and I think developers will have a hand on it if they havent yet.

It will be eventually supported.

this idea is awesome. i think it is possible

Glad someone's liking it

This would be a nice to have for sure. If can light up those "buttons" to use for notification, it will be great.

This is already done with O2X, so it is definitely on the way for us

My previous phone was GalaxyS which had no led aswell.
I used a programmed called NoLed on the Galaxy. Installed on Optimus 3d and seems to work fine.

It doesnt support the capacitive button led's.

Sorry i was only suggesting this as a temporary alternative until further developments.

I really like this idea!
But is it possible to expand on it further?
Since there's 4 capacitive buttons on the phone, are we able to make them blink individually?
For example... home button blinks when we have a missed call, menu button blinks when we have a message, back button blinks when we have an email, and etc?

Noled seems to be working fine for me...

Unfortunately not. As the app page states, AMOLED uses no power displaying a fully black pixel so displaying alerts on the screen takes very little power.
Now as the O3D has an old fashioned LCD, it consumes potentially a ton of power just to turn the screen on at all, because it has to light the whole screen just to start. Plus, it uses the MOST power displaying black (least displaying all white), so it would need the opposite behaviour.
[UPDATE]
Ah I see you can make the screen blink, I didn't notice that at first. Might actually be useful then.

i've tested it with the developer of the LG notification app. it seems, that the files which have to be used are'nt writeable. so without root it won't work
perhaps we should send tons of mails to LG, that they make it possible.

Modified 2X/Black touch led notification app
Hi guys,
I've modified Martin Börjesson's app and now it works on ROOTed O3D and I'll upload it soon.
To-do:
1) fading doesn't work
2) change of brightness doesn't work
What will never work
1) separate LEDs - I don't think there's a way to control each of them, only all 4 LEDs

New Google + and videocalls

New release of google + allows to make videocalls. Ok audio and video almost ok, only rotation issue (as skype). And we have to put the phone in landscape mode to the left, if we put vertical (portrait) restarts the mobile! reboots (as gtalk and yahoo messenger)!!
Anyone can take a look? Now with video calls always exists problem with the rotation .... We will never videocalls in i9003?

i understand ur passion. Vdo calling is not working in rotation mode is a different issue. But i think at least u are getting a 'working' vdo calling. You should at least happy upon that...!

vishal.... working??? in a videocall between 2 i9003, the rotation issue is double, and do you can make a videcall if the image of the other person you see upside down? I can't, to make a videocall, I want to see the other person with correct orientation, not upside down... And if your device reboots after you put your device in vertical mode, its working? I don't think.
In landscape mode = image upside down = rotation issue.
Phone in vertical mode = reboot.
Can I be happy?
It'a step, but not the solution

Install using rot explorer gtalk from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388449
And for hangouts... install google+ and swicht camera button on messenger app from goggle+

Could you try it on the latest CM?
Waleed had got the cameras working fine except for video recording, so there is a chance that it would work.

I confirm the portrait issue.
BTW program crashes (no reboot) in portrait also disabling video but remaining in hangaout with only audio on.
Maybe it's an issue due to unstable GB?

it was working properly in portrait and landscape but only the back cam was working but i was able to see the other side properly and not upside down --- after i updated the yahoo messenger it became ugly !!!!!
it reboots in portrait mood
and also i see the other side rotated
so it's not an issue with our phone it's the prog. itself

Try Tango, works perfect

Thanks bro for continuesly updates, I really salute you for your passion for video call.
I wish skype and gtalk also work for our phone.
Edit: yes tango totally working conform. Make a pc to phone call.

Hmm...I went and got the version from the xda thread to test it out. On my phone, the backlight flickers on spasmodically and the buttons dimly light, but it's not really bright enough for me to tell at my desk...I used the default wave and pulse. Nice idea, but I think I can live without it until some kind developer integrates the function properly into CM.

They light fine on my end

Do you think the fact that CM and Fusion Kernel (and possibly other roms/kernels) dim the capacative buttons to 2ma effects this? Or do you think the app overrides them to full brightness?
