Looking really good bro! A bit slow on my Live With Walkman, but it's still good. Push notifications? I would like an option to change the time the app syncs data if it does

Guys, thank you very much for this feedback. I have already started working on the Groups integration and will release this feature as soon as possible

Also another thing, can you make it work so that when i exited the app, it will automatically close its program? Or an option in settings to make this work?

Hello, _Pablo_
Thank you for your feedback. GPS is only used in Atrium for Facebook when you perform a checkin. In case you see gps icon blinking in the status bar and Checkin screen is not opened, it means gps is used by a different app. Please send me a private message and we will look into it

Just downloaded, will be keeping my eye on the progress of this app. Far better than the official app. Keep it up dev.

Edit: you need to get rid of those ads buddy. Provide a paid version with no ads and I am there.

Thanks for your answer,
I checked it again, and it's strange...
I cleared data and cache for atrium, put icon on my home screen and...
first run, gps icon started to blink immediately after run Atrium, next I connected with facebook (icon still blinking)...
I touched "back" button to go to my home screen and gps icon immediately stopped blinking.
again started Atrium from notification and no gps icon active.
I tried few times and sometimes running Atrium turns gps on, sometimes not.

because it not hurts
Every day I'm using navigation software, and don't want to turn gps on and off few times every day.
It can remain on, until application don't want to use location gps is on but inactive.

I've checked this issue and it looks like it is your system specific... at least I was unable to recreate such app behavior on all my test devices I would recommend using approach suggested by LordManhattan, or trying LBE Privacy Guard software that can limit access to GPS service for all your apps you don't need GPS for (this solution requires rooted device).

[APP][2.2+]Good Night Android - 1Click night profile. Now supports CM ProfileManager!

Hi Folks!
Tired of switching 7 toggles before going to bed and again when you wake up?
I just added my new app to play store. Basically it's a night profile switcher with a few gimmicks that came to my mind.
Have a look and maybe buy it (think of it as a beer for me )
Check it out on google play!
Of course I'll be around in the thread and you can contact me at [email protected] if you have feature suggestions or want to help me translate.
Free Version available on play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.good.night.android.free
Please download, add a review if you like it and maybe consider buying the full version.
It enables you to switch back the profile in the morning via toggle or notification.
+ some new features:
- Toggle data, gps, 2g/3g (custom roms)
- Automatically wake up with alarm clock
- Automatically set the alarm clock for each day of the week
- Scheduled wakeup/sleep time
- Colour changing widget for day/night
- Supports nearly all alarm apps
- powernap mode during the day
- more to come!
Description from google play:
Basic features:
- Widget to toggle day/night mode, which let’s you set&reset
- set a radio profile (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Data, Airplane mode*, GPS**, 2G/3G**)
- set phone settings (Sound & Vibration, Sync, Wallpaper, Brightness**)
Advanced features:
- Set your alarm clock (supports most alarm clock apps)
- Different alarm times for every day in the week
- Powernap function during the day
- Lock the screen
- Automatic schedule for day/night
- Customized messages & notification for going to sleep & waking up
- Haptic feedback
- Support for 3rd party apps: Screen Filter, Greenify
- Includes an extension for the DashClock widget
- Switch between dark & light app theme
* requires root on Android 4.2 devices
** requires root permissions
The app offers high functionality, helps you to save battery and time.
It does not run in the background during night!
You can use either the widget or the launcher shortcut to toggle day/night mode. Please note that ONE OF THEM (WIDGET/SHORTCUT) IS REQUIRED FOR THE APP TO DO ANYTHING before rating bad. Instructions how to install the widget or the shortcut can be found in the app (info-tab).
Creative ways to trigger day/night:
As a gesture in a launcher (e.g. double tap, possible in nova launcher prime and others)
As a shortcut on your lockscreen (Not possible on all phones, depends on model & software)
Via DashClock Widget (Extension included in the app)
On certain events (certain location, ..... requires tasker or similar app)
Special Thanks to
- sunfury (Murat Emre KÖSE) for the Turkish translation
- mark26 for being my tester and
- Jake Wharton for providing the awesome actionBarSherlock
- Stericson for rootTools

Thanks for the idea, i have noted that for future releases!
EDIT:
I looked it up, but it doesn't seem to be that easy. Seems it works only for apps signed with system firmware key.
Maybe with root permissions, have to think about that.
Update to Version 1.1:
Homescreen Shortcut can now toggle day/night mode
Should hit playstore soon.
I would be willing to try if it had a free with ads version, but as it stands i'm not willing to pay $1.47 when I can find a free app that has more options.

Thanks for your feedback.
There's 3 reasons why this app has no ads:
1. Battery life: this app is supposed to be energy efficient
2. You wouldn't really see them as the app itself is just a setup for the shortcut
3. I personally don't like them
As for a free app with same features: i couldn't find an app at all that does exactly what i want, this is why i started this project. But if you found an app please pm me the link.
I really like this app myself and i use it every day. It's slim and as far i could test it absolutely stable. Also it allows quite some customization, what is gonna get even more in future releases.

Update 1.5
Added compatibility down to Android 2.2 Froyo
Switch between dark/light theme
Added Scroll-ability for small screens
Fixed landscape mode
There's some NEWS!
I decided to add a free version to play store.
It will have limited features (No restore in the morning) and less frequent updates, but it also means that there is at least one version available to people who can't or don't want to use paid apps on play store.
Free version will hit play store this evening, I'll post the link as soon as it's online.
Looking forward to have you onboard!

(Update should arrive within the next hour).
Please download, add a review if you like it and maybe consider buying the full version.
It enables you to switch back the profile in the morning via toggle or notification.

In your own info in the app you should change the hint too.
I bought your app now.
Can you change the so called widget (shortcut) to another color if the night mode is active?
I assume this would be simple if it is a real widget?
Can you add the version to your info screen?

Fine.
I'm working on the widget thing.
Functionally it's working perfectly, but it turned out to be really hard to support all kinds of screen sizes and dpi values.
If any1 knows a good tutorial on that --> You're very welcome!
You will have to stick with the shortcut for the moment.
I'll keep you updated!

I think this is a really awesome concept and am trying to use it as a daily driver.
Of course I would love a lot more customization.
How about swipe gestures on the start screen especially to pull down the notification toggles? Toggles are something I want quick access to.
Battery notification on the screen?
Will be watching this keenly. Play store listing sometime soon?

whatsapp and viber don't provide api, the only way the get notified is through accesibility. I'll check how this could be implemented when g+ and twitter is done.
one page notification is a good idea though.

Re: [APP][2.3+] Listener 1beta2 launcher (updated jan.27)
Are you still updating this app? Pretty cool idea and UI. Suggestions:
1) Add Google+, Twitter, and Instagram feeds. (The app says their is twitter, but I can not enable it. Can you make it use falcon pro, the twitter client app)
2) YouTube subscriptions. We add our account and then our YouTube feed comes up in your app. Whenever there is a video in our feed, show the title, who uploaded it, and the video thumbnail. If getting the video thumbnail is hard or impossible, you could just make the picture that comes up with the video be the YouTubers account picture. Also, not asking for it to show an actual video, just the thumbnail and text. Not the description either, it would be too cluttered.
3) Adw icon themes for the app drawer.
Love this app, wish it could be my main launcher but too much force close.
Cheers!
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2
yes, still working on it, busy coding.
g+ and twitter is greyed out as they're no ready yet.
other providers will be added later when every other is working.
if there are bugs and force closes, then please, please add logcat and a small description of it, otherwise I won't know what to fix. thank you!

[APP][2.1+] KeepRunning

With KeepRunning you could monitor apps and restart them. You need this if
- Android kills an app to free RAM
- An app crashes
This app has no background service and does not need RAM if it is not checking apps. It restarts only apps which was already running since last system startup, by the user or Android system. System apps are marked with an exclamation mark.
Available options:
Minimize all apps after an app was restarted
Duration of the monitoring intervall
Donation:
No self-promotion in the app.
More than 3 apps could be selected
Bring back last visible app after starting an app
Start apps, even not ever running since system startup
You support this app and further development!

My personal intension to create this app:
I'm using the messenger Trillian which has random FCs. Now Cerulean Studios has"pimped" the UI in a way I don't like. So I have to use the old version with known bugs.
To not miss messages anymore, i restart Trillian after crashes with this app
Now i'm using it also for daily crashes of WhatsApp

Per-app? A global option "restart apps only of screen is on" would be much easier
So if the time interval is set to 20 minutes, the app check every 20minutes if the selected apps are still running and if they dont, keep running start them again?
Do i get this right?

Yes.
I think "20" is a good value
* you do not miss messages etc to long
* not many checks of the apps, no impact to battery (20 min -> 72 cheks/day)
But you could set whatever you need

Just pushed to Play Store. The logfile shows "sleeping" if

Just released to Play Store. This needs a new permission "GET_TASKS".
Also added a notification if a app was restarted
I've just added strings for translation to the first post. If you attach here a translation, please send me you email address via PM.
Notice to @kalashenicof @jzak1083 @vipa
Cool app
I, too, wish they would've kept Trillian looking like that old school Gingerbread style, but it's hard to expect them not to upgrade the UI, I guess...

D.M.A. Navi Watch - Clock face integrated with Google Navigation

Hi
My application just passed certification process and wanted to share it with you.
This application is available to download for free on Samsung Gear Apps. Just search for "navi watch".
Imagine you are exploring new city or just going somewhere. To be most efficient you use Google Navigation to get to your desired place, but when you are in unknown area you need to look very often in your mobile to stay on path. During nice sunny day your screen brightness on mobile needs to be set on 110% to be able to see something on the screen and your battery discharges very fast(sounds familiar?).
Showing turn-by-turn navigation instructions directly on clock face eliminates the need to launch separate application every time when you look at the watch when navigating on your route. Turn-by-turn instruction with navigation image will be right there when screen turns on.
No need to waste battery on the mobile with screen on all time while looking for directions and keep your mobile in your hands all time, keep your mobile in safely in your pocket/bag and all navigation instructions are delivered instantly on your wrist.
How does it work?
It is integrated with Google Navigation using its notifications and it is necessary to grant notification access to "D.M.A Navi Watch" to be able to see turn-by-turn navigation instructions from Google Navigation directly on your Gear.
After that just start navigating to desired place on your mobile using Google Navigation and follow the navigation instructions on your Gear.
When you are not using navigation, the clock displays date and current weather information with beautiful animated icons. Display, font, colours are all configurable from the application on your mobile.
--Version 1.2
Fixed missing navigation instructions on Android Lollipop
Fixed screen not turning on before turn for some users
Added experimental support for Here maps
Here maps now works, but I don't recommend it. To get notifications on the watch, you need to make sure that the application is running in background.
Second issue is that when the screen is off, Here maps does not send navigations instructions after some time and you need to wake you phone to get current navigation instructions.
I'm working on fixing this, but hopefully Here maps will fix it on their side, I don't want to wake the phone automatically.
--Version 1.1.1(attached below)
Fixed vibation alert compatablity with latest Google Maps
--Version 1.1
Improved clock design
More and better navigation images
Added vibration before turn
Added display on before turn
Added battery icon
AM/PM or 24h time syncs with the device
Compatibility with Gear S

Quality word, if I had to say something, I would request a little bit more space between weather and date on the screen. But it is very nice work, this is now my watch face thank you !!
I searched for it and I don't see it... do you have a link for it??
update: Nevermind...found it... lol
Thanks for the feedback, I agree, it will be fixed on the next version. I was also thinking to put the date on top or bottom, what do you think?

Well, date and time together make sense to me, so I think it is cool like that. thinking maybe you could add battery percentage in a corner and bluetooth icon in another to know it it is activated or not (both possible to deactivate). I was not asking too much but you seem to ask for work so here are my ideas ahah, thanks for asking! I generally like to have as much information as possible on the watch when I turn it on...

Pedometer in another corner ? ahahah
Currently im working on more subtile display of the battery percentage, but yes BT can be added too(also configurable).

very nice. THX
Wow !
Amazing app !!
I agree with some people here who have requested battery percentage level if you can consider this
Thanks for your work !
VERY well done! :good:
I did notice that 12:05pm does not fit the screen. Most of the "m" is off the screen to the right.
Thank you!!!
Not able to find the app in Gear App Store
Is this app available for US. I am not able to find the app in Gear App Store
Wow. This is one of the most game changing, useful, and well-made apps released so far.
Thanks so much.
I am going to try it out. Although, it would be nice to have the option to have it be separate as I like my watch faces and don't know if I want to change it every time I want directions, but does sound like a good idea. Good job!!!
Thank you all for feedback.
About the watch face and navigation, due to limitations on Tizen, currently it's not possible to have app that overlays on top of others(or I'm not aware of) like I did on my android application for the end of the world(search for "Doomsday - The last rain" on Google Play).
If it was separate app you would need to launch it every time when you look at your Gear during navigating on your route and that is what I'm trying to avoid, that is the reason why I added the weather widget. More options like app shortcuts or calendar events will be added in later versions.
Don't worry, I will think up something regarding custom watch faces.
I tried it on my Gear 2. Navigation is working and also showing the text in german. But I do not see the data and the time anymore only the weather is showing up. (I use 24h Setup)
Do you have any hint for me, please?
Update -> after reboot of Gear2 the time apears but still no datw
Also, I was thinking, if you make the weather forecast temperature smaller and put it on the left of the screen, you would have room for one shortcut for an app, woud that be possible ? I'm curious.. thanks!
Very nice app....thank you! Any way to use the clock on 12 hour instead of 24 hour setting? I can't a way to change that so far...I'm stuck on 24 hour setting. Again...very nice app! Works like a charm!!

It only shows 12 hour mode for me. Is your phone set to 24 hour mode by chance?

Hi
Thank you for posting the Google Play Store Link :good:
Loving the app so far. So many features! Out of interest, how secure is the actual app? How easily is it to get passed it when it has admin rights and can't be uninstalled?
No support for android L? not locking any app
I help you
Hi!!!
This is an amazing app!!
1st: I want a promocode to get the full app
2nd: I want to help you to translate into Spanish (my native language) (obiously for free).
I will be waiting...
Thank you!!!
Great app.
1. I would suggest for Relock Policy to add the option: Lock when screen is off
2. a transparent theme would be nice showing once own wallpaper behind the lock screen
3. Third eye takes pictures but does not send them to the email address
4. Android System is locked. i.e. I try to open a YouTube link but have no default app, so first I have to unlock Android System in order to choose an app to open the link. Can't find a way to switch that off, it's a bit annoying
5. Could you add a dark theme for the app
6. Also I would use color to show that an app is selected to be locked. I have showed your app to several people and most agreed it's not always clear whether the lock is inactive (grey) or active (black).
PS still waiting for Promo Code
Hi, i will test it and try get it working for Android L, thanks for pointing it out!

Hi, thanks for liking my app. After enabling the advanced protection, the app is virtually impossible to get through. Although a user has reported a bug which needs to be fixed to increase the security (which is in progress), i feel it is safe to say that AppLockZilla is quite strong on security.

Hi. I will go straight to the point. This app needs a lot of work. I don't mean any bad publicity or any mean comment or anything like that. But from what I have seen in my experience with my phone, it is easy to go around the app and get to the locked app. I have "long press back to kill" enabled in my developer options. When I launch a presumed locked app, I just have to long press my back button and it kills the lock of your AppLockZilla and the locked app launches like there was nothing to lock at all.
My previous app lock didn't have this security breach so I quickly went back to it.
You have to fix it very quickly enough because now that some people know it, things can happen. Sorry.
Brilliant. One question, is there a way to disable to lock on "Android System"? Every time I need to select an app to complete an action I have to input my code

Yeah you're right. This is annoying sometimes and even more when you have a long password like me....?
Than kyou for pointing out the bug, you dont need to apologize. How will i improve the app if you dont find issues with it ?
It would be helpful though if you could tell me what app locker you have been using so that i could test it and do the same with AppLockZilla. Thanks!

Another problem I have found, is that the it keeps the phone awake alot. BetterBatteryStats shows it has caused 98% of the wakeup alarms. So had to uninstall for now because that was using alot of battery. Its a shame because I really like the app, will use again when its fixed
Trully inovative features! I'm gonna take this for a spin! Thanks!

Alright. Cool! It is a good app BTW. I really liked the knock code like feature that it has l like the LG G3 (Tap lock). It was this feature I was using when I found the bug.
The app lock app I'm using right now is called Droid Protector by @1tek. It is really simplistic, but when I tried your app I liked it and its features until I found the bug. So I went back to the previous one.
Hope I helped!

Thanks, waiting for the promo code to test also the pro stuff.
I am surprised to hear that! i will look into it immediately. Iplan to assess every single issue that my app has and update it regularly. So stay tuned for the issue fix and thanks for informing about it.

I really like the media vault, two things to that.
1st is it possible to have/make "folders" or "categories" in the vault? So that I can sort them?
2nd I was not sure at first how to select a picture or video, even though (after reading the FAQ - which is great that's included in the app) it's obvious that long pressing would work. I was looking for little check fields in the pics and vids. Long pressing is better, maybe you can make a pop-up or write it on the background of the vault. "Long press file/picture/video to select"
I also think that a file vault would be a great idea.
