Feel free to post any comment/question/feature suggestion !
Thanks !

Looks really nice.
Needs a brightness toggle as part of the base switches before I can use it.

Brightness toggle
Need to toggle between your "current brightness setting" and a "max brightness" you mean? How many states do you want?

I like three states: 0% , 50% , 100% just like the default power settings widget. Maybe adding a fourth state: 25% would also be useful.

Thanks for this nice app.

Can you tell me what kind of error you have: did your airplane mode switched on but the widget did not update itself? or the airplane mode did not turned on at all?
And for the other switches, are they working correctly?
What is your phone and your version?
Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for your suggestion, this switch IS NOW available in the v0.7.5b for you

Beta 0.7 available
The v07b is available to users from the Google Play now.
New features:
- add a new skin: white plastic, for Go Launcher fans
- add a new skin : a no background widget, for very simple display option
- New skin engine for x5 performances (you may loose your skin choice if you upgrade from v0.6. just make a new skin choice on your existing widget)
- eliminates refreshing error bug when your home screen reboots
- add skin capabilities (label, icon effects, etc...) for futures releases with new skins
We still need beta testers!
On the roadmap:
- a brightness slot with 3 positions (min/auto/max)
- a black glossy skin for Sense fans

Cool app

Perhaps it's placebo effect but the last version seems more smooth on tablet. Thanks
Ps: a gps switch will be nice

V0.7.5 matches your wishes!

GPS is now available for all users / all devices, but because of Google security restrictions on many devices, the switch could bring to the location settings page instead of directly switching GPS state. I'm still searching for safe ways to do the job on more devices.
Since a skin engine code full rewrite last month, widget are much more faster than before

New skin screenshot, for Go Launcher and HTC Sense fans
Go and Sense like skins for gX Switches, available in the base app now!

gX Switches is coming back
After one long year sleeping, gX Switches will start again moving on:
- An extension is ready to go out: LABS for gX Switches: you can ask to become a beta tester here: https://plus.google.com/communities/112952095112663603667
- New skins are available: Black & Glossy, Pink & Girlish, and the latest one: Halloween
- Locale plugin support: gX Switches can use Locale plugins to extends its own functions!
- Custom icons: you can use icon packs (ADW compatible) or your local images / photos to override switches icons.
- Secured settings for latest versions of Android (Airplane mode for example) requires Secure Settings to work. gX Switches can now call Secure Settings directly to control secured parameters. Secure Settings is also a Locale plugin, so you can control everything it can do.
More will come soon! :fingers-crossed:

lol whats the battery usage?
I like the concept. I installed the wallpaper and I will use it and see how the battery is affected if at all on my evo.
Would be nice of we could select any image as the wallpaper background. Could even go crazy with the customization by reordering things, different colors for each data set...weather option maybe.
Great work!! I look forward to seeing how this grows.
i can haz root
Seems to work okay....however it doesn't scale properly on my Dell Streak.
Only uses 3/4 of the screen vertically.
Width is fine.

Was actually just going to mention this too. Doesn't use up the whole screen on my evo, it actually seems to shrink sometimes and use even less vertical real estate

Keep on and this could be the base for something great - why? Because no oine really needs it and that´s often a feature of success
If you need help with localization for German you can contact me (just see my other thread).
Excellent!!..
Thanks for this.
Can you please attach the APK?.. (sometimes is better for me than going into the market)
awesome live wallpaper! would be cool if there were an option to select a custom static wallpaper behind the status.
In X10 Mini Pro don't use all screen, in top keep a blank margin

Cool wall paper thanks. I would like to be able to select the size of the battery gauge and the clock. I don't think time at a location is very useful to me. Seconds on the clock would be a cool option too.
Looks very good!
Have you run some tests of battery drain?
It would be great if we could customize the emphasis of each category. I guess a lot of people would prefer to have a bigger time and smaller battery level.
Select your own wallpaper background image
Hello,
first i want to thank you for all your feedback. I am very happy about.
- Currently I have uploaded two different versions to the market. One free version and a 1 $ version which adds the feature of selecting an image of your own gallery.
- Regarding Dell Streak's display size I will do some research and try to fix soon.
- Battery usage: This was one of my primary goals when developing the wallpaper. Often this was the cause, I have removed a live wallpaper in the past and changed back to a standard image again. As you can see all the values are updated when you turn on the screen. When the display is turned off, the app will unregister from all broadcast receivers to sleep all the night without getting disturbed (wakeup) by any OS notification. Repaint calls were optimized. I cant ensure that it is perfect, but I spent some effort on this already. (My N1 with Cyanogen is providing me nice statistics about CPU/Battery usage)
Once again I am glad, if the app is being used and some people out there like it.

extremely smart and unique idea. Good Job DEDEEP. still testing it out on my Tmo Vibrant with custom Roms

I apologize I didn't even see the paid version in the market, so I didn't know of the custom image feature.
I must say, I didn't notice any significant battery usage while the screen was off, certainly no change when the screen is sleeping, so it looks like that is working just fine.
Keep up the good work.

weather info would be desirable!

Agree with this, perhaps having configurable options as to what info is displayed? Apart from adding that to the wishlist, I'm enjoying this live wallpaper, good job.

[APP] gX Blacklist, incoming call filter, shush! like, and night mode. All in one!

gX Blacklist
Incoming call filter
Want to master incoming calls ? Turn off ringing or force vibrate/ring modes for lists of phone numbers, according to the time of the day, the day of the week (and even if you are in holidays or not). Multiple lists, with priorities, advanced scheduler to set activation hours and days, and fill each list with green and black phone numbers, from your contact list, or manually. You can also use jokers in the numbers (phone areas).
NO NEED TO ROOT
For guys who does not want to root Android, this app is still working!
Shush! like app
The idea is the same, but the implementation is radically different:
Choose a "rest", with the needed duration, and your phone switch to silent/vibrate mode, and will come back to the previous mode after the duration.
A WIDGET is available to trigger Rest mode, to cancel it, or to launch a panel to choose rest duration.
Night mode
Choose the time you want to automatically switch to silent/vibrate/airplane mode, and the time in the morning to come back to the previous mode.
Each night, the mode will protects your sleeping time.

Cant install it from the market, even by using Marketenabler, plz could someone upload the apk, thanks.
Why can't you install it? Is the market that filter the app when you search gX Blacklist? Or is it an error when you install it? I cant give you the APK: install cannot work from outside of the market: the app will block if installed directly from APK.
gX Blacklist in the french magazines
gX Blacklist is now published in the Mobiles magazine, special edition "Android Apps mania, Vol.2", with a full five stars rating!
A new Rest mode!
You can now activate Rest mode only with VOL- button!
From version 1.4.0 (please update it if needed ) and with "Basic features" activated, go into the parameters tab of the app, and check the rest mode control with VOL-.
Then, when you turn on the silent/vibrate mode with your VOL- button, you'll have a popup that will give you possibility to engage a rest (by double clicking on VOL-, follow the instructions on your screen to know how it works ).
All configuration (duration and ringing volume to restore) is done with the VOLUME buttons only. And if you don't want to engage a rest, do nothing, the popup will close itself after 3 seconds

Yes, we know we can turn off the auto-rotation in the settings, or change the position of the phone until the text is upright once more, but we’re a lazy people, in a lazy generation aided by technology, and if there’s an app for something, then problem fixed."

Samantha -Read the full review
'OrientationLocker' enables you to toggle the Auto-rotate mechanism EASILY.
Each time you change the screen orientation without any need of pulling down the status bar, going to settings or using external application.
Each time you rotate your phone, the lock symbol will appear and by a single click you will be able to choose whether you want your screen to rotate or not !
• DONATION version offers the following features :
Setting the symbol opacity.
the symbol offset.
More options for symbol timeout.
Setting notification icon as transparent.
Please try the free version to make sure everything is as expected.
Note!
This app will NOT lock your screen permanently in any orientation, it uses the Android auto-rotate mechanism in order to control the screen orientation !
The app requests several permissions - it's all for making it more usable ,
I.E. it will ask for Read Phone status and identity for not interrupting while in call / ring.

Great app! Just one remark: I don't like the intrusive icon. Will future updates include a simple, minimal white-only lock icon to fit with every other icon? It's a small thing but nonetheless it could - personally spoken - be that bit better
This is cool man, it's so annoying that auto rotate screen.

When unlocked - the icon is pretty much white... when locked its colored so you will know its locked.
Can you please upload screenshot so ill see why the icon is intrusive ? i see it as a small icon
Notice you can long click the icon and change its location to one of the screen corners ... !
Can you make the app lock the screen all the times? There were some app auto rotate even we lock the screen (youtube while watching )

Well, I thought about doing so... but as far as I know, it can cause some issues I don't think i want to put myself there, it's really working around the system configurations (think of apps only working in landscape mode, locking the orientation completely will make them work in incompatible mode )
Regarding youtube ... It's actually Youtube fault that their app rotates although auto-rotate is OFF...
Very nice app man, thanks!

Sorry, I didn't find any reference to any app called 'Orientation Switch' app (not in the play store)
Anyway, I think the best it to try it yourself ... Uninstall will always stay an option
Updated - bugs fixed (by your requests and queries, thank you)
Donation version is up for helping with the development costs :good:
I just downloaded the app a few minutes ago. So far, very good. I'll write a review at the Play store later this week, and if I'm still using the app in a week, I'll definitely purchase the donation version.
Thanks!

- Force lock. Shake Freeze works ONLY in apps that do not have their preferred orientation (typically text apps like browsers etc)
- Current version doesn't change orientation on tablets (probably with most tablets, only the lock works)
Permission breakdown
- Modify system settings - orientation and auto-rotate are system settings
- Run at startup - optional, the shake detector service can start on boot. Default is OFF!
Free App - Attentionware
The app is completely free with no ads. Source code is available. The only thing I ask is your attention. If you like the app, please rate it, check my Android website, +1 on G+, like my page on Facebook and/or follow my Twitter.
If you have any questions or improvement suggestions, don't hesitate to contact me!

Dev info
Yet another auto-rotate app with a twist (and shake). Made as an excercise, it's my first app for Android that uses more than just display and touchscreen. I've seen better rotation lock apps (but they are paid) and better rotate to do something apps (but they don't have rotation lock). I am releasing the source codes in case you want to check out what the app does on boot etc. I would be extremely grateful if you can comment on the sources too, I am an Android beginner and I definitely have space to improve!

Hello
I tried your beta version and here are the first couple of results:
App description:
I went into the app without watching the video and checking the pics to see if it is intuitive, It took me around 5 minutes to understand. So fair enough. The video is far way more important than the picture itself, because it really shows the purpose of the app comparing it to the the normal behavior. As for the picture I first didn't get it 100% percent but after watching the video and playing with the app it makes sense. But for the little beginners I think there is something missing in it.
UI:
Well there isn't a lot of buttons and setting which is quite good I think less is more in UI/UX which is good in your design. There is only the number of shakes slider, If the settings underneath is an actual int number, maybe display it on the slider instead of waiting for the user to select it and then display it in the main scene, because he will have to click OK to see what he has actually selected 8-9-10ish
Functional Tests
I tried on my stock Gnex running 4.3 (without the latest update from google 2 weeks ago), The app ran smoothly and the sensitivity is good and set to the default middle settings.
I tired also setting the service to start on start-up, set it to landscape, and then restart my phone. Everything went well it even remembered the last setting which was landscape and the service running appeared in the notification.
All in all it is a excellent development and a very good exercise as I have seen on your blog.
As for me I would say that its main usage will be while watching youtube.
Hope it helps
Thanks !
Hi there,
I'm trying of the beta on my Nexus S. Everything works and the sensitivity adjustment gives a good range.
One suggestion I have is to separate the toggle for tilt and shake. If I want to use the shake functions with high sensitivity but not the tilt it is difficult to do so (without having to shake a bunch of times). This way, it is a little bit more versatile in how the user wants to use your app =]
Other than that I think the Ui should be sufficient. The help screen could be separated into a few chunks so user isn't overwhelmed by the amount of text, although the app is relatively intuitive to use.
Nice app!
Hi,
It's a Nice App :good: It's very intuitive and is very easy use it.
Work well in my Cubot One and Iocean X7
If you already use Tasker & Rotation Locker, you can save some memory by using Tasker and the Rotation Locker app plug-in to rotate once shake is detected.

Woo-hoo. Can't wait. I love your Apps ☺?
Wow! What a cool idea. Saves precious seconds when launching the camera. Working great on my Moto G.
Bug: When my phone is in vibrate or silent mode, launching the camera changes the sound mode to normal.
custom camera setting would be nice. I'm using Camera Zoom FX instead of the built in camera most time.
Just noticed that Snapshot enables the camera when putting the phone into a docking station. It would be nice if this unwanted behaviour could be disabled, because I'm using dock clock.

It doesn't seem like it is working on my Nexus 7. I hold it like stated, but there's no activation. I could help with debugging it. As the tablet doesn't have vibration, I can't completely confirm I'm in the correct position. Maybe having some optional sound or toast would help with calibrating position.
Update v1.10 released
Updated the app to v1.10
You can now choose your favorite camera app (secure lockscreen will not support all apps)

When i try to choose orientation there's no “activate“-button, just a “deactivate“-button and I don't see any option to choose the camera app???

Does not work on cm11 Galaxy I9000!
Latest update broke the app
The latest update disabled the default landscape setting. No camera apps are listed. I'm using Google Camera from the Play Store which replaced the stock camera app on my N5. This may be because per app settings in the new update is limited to Pro versions but it was working just fine earlier.

I just checked and there seems to be a incompatibility on some devices.
Will fix asap.
You should add an option to disable it when phone ring.

Latest update 1.11 works on my device (stated above).
But any screen wake up event (putting into the cradle, normally the lockscreen starts) causes the camera to start.
Fixed!

Now that was fast! I updated again in the Play Store and the app is functioning normally for my N5. Loving the app.

+1 on cm11, I hope the individual camera app setting can be implemented again without compatibility issues.
Thank you for the fast update, just bought the Pro version.

I have 1 huge issue with this app. I use a dock to charge my phone so whenever I place my phone horizontally on the dock to charge which turns on the screen, the camera launches as well. Can a setting be placed to disable the app working when the phone is being charged?
EDIT: Also the option for the app to be disabled after X seconds after the screen is turned on would be nice. I believe now that after the screen it turned on in portrait mode and any time that it goes landscape after that launches the camera.
Love it
Works great on my rooted stock rom SGS4, would it be possible to choose the camera app you want to use in the settings, so we don't have to choose each time ? I'm an idiot works great.
@Jawomo. Any progress on the sound mode change bug?
Also What does the setting "only when locked" do?
