[APP][2.4] SMS Flash

I've been using Android from a really long time, I used to always get annoyed when I got SMS while I was in full screen mode, so I decided to write something to help me with this. I uploaded it to Play about three weeks ago. It's a free app with no ads nor Internet permission. I'm hoping to get some feedback and advice from you guys
Please consider to let me know how to make it better before leaving a bad review.
SMS Flash on Google Play
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bl.smsflash
About SMS Flash :
Instant SMS notification without stealing focus! Specially built for gamers.
SMS Flash is a simple application that displays incoming SMS as soon as they are received, in a non interactive way. Unlike SMS popup, you can touch through the displayed SMS and continue interaction with the screen. So you do not need to stop what you were doing to read the SMS.Its very handy when you are playing Games, watching movie, recording video, taking pictures, browsing etc.
SMS is formatted and notified as a transparent view on the fly, you can set the number of seconds the SMS has to be displayed and you can use Proximity sensor to
1. Dismiss SMS Flash on first touch of Proximity sensor
2. Extend the display time when you need more to finish reading by touching and holding
3. Go to reply box when Proximity sensor is touched twice
V 2.4 Released :
[New] : Added Added Image size limit to 100x100 dip
[New] : Added Preview option. (Displays only 1 line)
[New] : Option to decrease reply trigger to 1 sec
[Fix] : FC resolved.
[Fix] : Pocket trigger fixed
V 2.3 Released :
: SMS Flash doesn't blink as much.
: Font size configurable.
: Debugger option added.
: Reply issues with LG devices fixed.

That is great idea! Thank you very much... Have been testing it for an hour so far and works great. I love the idea with proximity sensor...
What I would perhaps add is option to enable the pop up window on locked screen as well... just leaving the background black and having this beautiful on the screen when the phone is locked would be perfect (for me ).
Anyway thanks once more...

I'd love to try this app but unfortunately play market says it can't be installed in my country (Turkey) and one more thing, is the proximity sensor the only way to interact with this app?

Yup that's a great idea but I'm just worried that it might cause wake locks :-( not to mention how seriously wake locks are considered by users.. But il surely try to add it
Thanks

What a god damn awesome idea!! I can't tell you how bloody annoying it is when im doing a video review of an app for my youtube channel and im in a full screen app and i get an sms or even when im just playing a game testing it out and stuff, I don't want to go to my homescreen to see the text because if i do i have to restart the first app all over again and start from the beginning. This will save me from doing that! awesome app!

never seen this app
it seems cool, i will try

Great idea! Thank you for your app! I'll try it!

Can anyone post the apk please ....

lock screen sms count shortcut to 3rd party app. Possible/available?

Hey, after a few searches, I know this has been brought up elsewhere, but I'm just looking for updates.
I just changed over to handcent so I can have emojis, but now I'm realizing that the app doesn't work with one of my favorite features: the lock screen shortcut notification for sms/mms messages. What I'm looking for is some way that when you swipe that circle with the unread count for sms that it brings you to handcent (or whatever other 3rd party sms app) instead of the stock messaging app. I figure there has to be a way..

You're talking about on ICS TW(Stock setup) right? I don't believe that would be able to be done without a MOD of some sort.
I think you can do what you want, with a bit of a different look, using something like widget locker or some other lockscreen replacement app.

Thanks for the reply. Yea, ICS TW for now (synergy to be exact, not that it matters in this case). I really like the stock setup for the lockscteen, but I'll check out widget locker. I guess the best solution would be if someone made emojis work on rooted stock, but I'm not sure how much work that entails. I've only seen it available on AOSP

GoSms also has emoji support. But you'll run into the same issue with the lock screen.

I'm having trouble visualizing what you're both talking about, however I haven't used Synergy. Are y'all talking about the four lockscreen shortcuts or a widget on the lock screen in addition to the lockscreen shortcuts?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

If you talking about the missed sms count to swipe to the left, dunno.
As for the sms icon/app you can change it under shortcuts where you toggle it on and off, you can click it and change it to your sms program.

Yeah, the OP wants to change where the missed message count brings him when he swipes it.

Long shot, but is there an ASOP messaging app we can use? And would that be able to be recognized as "stock"? I know ASOP has a mod for emojis

I did this on my old RAZR so maybe it's similar. What I did was rename the stock MMS to .bak then moved my preferred MMS app to system/app folder and renamed it to the stock MMS rebooted and it worked. Worth a shot, I'm on eclipse or I'd try it.

If it breaks anything you just delete the file you moved and thanks the original back to mms.apk

I have an inverted version of the stock MMS app (4.0.4-eng.tvap624.20120702.011632) and I can say that the notification that pops up on the stock lockscreen is unique to the Samsung mms app. This means notifications using any other mms app will not show up as a swipable event on the stock lockscreen. Inverted stock is a great version of the mms app. I just renamed secmms.apk (I believe) with .bak, put in the new app, renamed it as the original, set permissions, and rebooted. I have emoji support and messages on an all black background. It's nice.

I know, I'm actually using Handcent right now for emojis (didnt want to pay GoSMS just to send emojis).
It seems like lockscreen support is probably a complete no go unless someone somehow mods the stock mms for emojis (no idea how intense that process might be).

[APP][FREE + NO ADS][4.0+ FOR SURE] We Have To Go Back, Kate!

3.1 BETA OUT NOW
This is my first app, so lots of *constructive* feedback would be nice.
It's nothing special (I did it on MIT AppInventor like the noob who knows no java that I am)
Ever leave somewhere and forget how to get back?
Problem = Solved.
Simply press the button and it will remember your "Island Location" -- for you Lost fans --which you can name.
The rest is pretty self explanatory.
Screenshots in attachments
CHANGELOG
// What's new in 3.1
-- Added 2 customizeable saved locations
-- Fixed buttons getting cut off
// What's new in 2.1
-- Settings bugs hopefully fixed -- I'm currently testing it
*Changng to Lost background will apply after app is closed and reopened
// What's new in 2.0
-- Settings -- Change the look of the main screen
MORE SETTINGS TO COME -- just a trial run right now
// Planned changes for next version
-- Whatever I can think of. Any suggestions?
P.S. If you want an older version just pm me I'll get it for you

Has anyone used this app? Really looking for some feedback...

I downloaded your app, and you have a good idea and it is functional, although obviously limited in design and some functionality due to the lack of raw java. I also think it would be nice to have some settings of some sort, if it's possible to add those with the program you used to create it

I'm working on adding settings now. I plan to make the background and fonts changeable because I know I can easily do that. If you have any other settings ideas I can give them a shot.
I'm also looking to make the app able to remember multiple locations.
Thanks for the feedback.

Great idea! You should add a list of remembered places so one can chose where to go back to.

Working on adding multiple locations now. Any preference on how that works? Like pick three to save? Remember last three saved?

Does your app do something that using Google Maps w/ starred locations doesn't do?
If I go somewhere and think I might be so unfamiliar with the area that I might not be able to locate my car, I star the location I've parked at then use that when I leave wherever I went to easily find my spot.
It kind of sounds like your app does this too, but as its only feature?

Probably not. The only difference I imagine is that the app does it just by pushing buttons. It actually uses Google maps for directions. Sorry if that's disappointing for you haha

3.1 is up. This mostly a bump post haha. Would love to get some feedback

[Q]Seeing emojis

I need help with viewing emojis(ios) on android.Is there anyway i can view them...When i play pimd all came out like ??? boxes
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda app-developers app

If I recall correctly, there's some kind of mod with the fonts that I saw somewhere. You're going to have to Google it, but it has something to do with changing up the fonts of your phone, you'll probably need root access.
I know that GO keyboard and Go SMS support emojis but that's not for apps like Twitter, only for messaging iPhone users.
Let me know if I helped you out.

SW2 Reqallable notification beta

Hi everyone, have you seen this notification app Reqallable?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reqall.wearable.android&hl=en_GB
http://www.reqallable.com/
It looks bloody good and it's free.
The only problem is, is that it's US only and I'm in England
I've emailed the devs and they say they're not planning a UK release.
I was wondering if someone would install and post the apk please?
Cheers

Is it possible to dismiss notifications on phone from the watch with watchnotifier?

Yes. Watchnotifier is much more configurable too.
It's much better than reqallable. If you set a reminder in Google now the reminder comes up in your watch which is good. You can configure watchnotifier to push notifications from any app to your watch.
I wouldn't be without it.
