Notify Me!
v1.9.1 16.12.2013
Did you ever look at an iOS device as it got a notification? Have you ever noticed that the screen lights up and that the notification can be displayed on the lock screen and thought that you would love to see that happen on your Android™ device? Well, I did and thus created this app - my first complete Android™ app.
It lets you create a list of apps that are allowed to light the screen up and show their notifications on it as a popup in front of your lock screen. You may restrict the creation of the notification popups per app and decide to only show notifications that contain keywords of your choice. Everything that it takes for it to work is its activation as an AccessibilityService.
But enough words are spoken now, here are some screenshots for you:

If you want to have a look at the source code, you can do this at Google Code, because this software is also free software (yes, "free" as in "freedom"), released under the GPLv3.
Oh yeah, as some (or most?) of you seem to highly appreciate that software doesn't contain ads, here comes the best thing for you: this app is ad free - on the one hand because I don't know how to incorporate ads in an app (and am way too less interested in doing so to find out how to achieve this) and on the other hand because I do this as a hobby and mostly for myself, I'm not out for making money with it. If you feel like this deserves a reward of some kind, there is a donate button, but
I would highly appreciate if someone could come up with an icon that I can use for this app, as I'm not much of a graphics guy and I've no idea for an icon myself.
Questions left? Just give it a try and I'm sure they will be answered. If not: this is a forum, leave your questions here, I'll do my best to answer them. Bug reports, ideas for the future and an icon are also welcome. :good:
Until then, enjoy! Yours TpmKranz.

Additional information
Changelog:
v1:
Initial release.
v1.1:
If you want to view a notification, you no longer have to unlock the screen manually (unless you have a secure lock screen, of course).
I removed logcat messages that were forgotten in the last release, including one that could infringe your privacy, so you better update.
v1.2:
Notification popups should be fixed now, they also resemble the actual notifications more.
v1.3:
Added ability to use a slider to interact with the notification popup. This is not completely mature, yet. It is usable and I didn't encounter any bugs, but it doesn't look very good at the moment.
Lowered minimum SDK version to 7 (runs on Android 2.1 now).
v1.4:
Made slider background customizable (defaults to 0xffffff on Android < 3, 0x181818 otherwise).
App picker is now sorted alphabetically.
v1.5:
Added ability to control if a notification lights up the display.
Added ability to default to an expanded view of a notification.
Squashed some bugs.
v1.6:
Added option for aggressive popups.
Added custom screen timeout for popups.
Reduced frequency of app list reloads.
Merged NotificationActivities (should have fixed bugs).
Added icon!!! Thanks to XDA Senior Member thesparky007!
v1.7
Increased frequency of checks for a working accessibility service.
Added localizations for German, Spanish (thanks, XDA Senior Member alejobog), Polish (thanks, XDA Senior Member trurl3) and Chinese (thanks, XDA Junior Member zxc123coke).
Changed icon, thank you XDA Junior Member taylorcoffelt!
v1.8
Added option to lock popup's orientation (locked by default).
Added option to allow Notify Me! to work during a call.
Added blacklist/whitelist switch to keyword filter.
Fixed some force closes.
Optimized keyword filtering.
Removed obsolete translations (Chinese, Polish, Spanish).
Added new translation (Italian).
v1.9
(Hopefully) fixed AccessibilityService (except the speech output, that's Samsung’s thing)!
Fixed bugs (especially on ICS).
Optimized aggressive popups and orientation locking.
Re-added Spanish, Polish and Chinese translations.
Added Turkish translation.
v1.9.1
Fixed 'missing slider interface and app lock-up' bug.
Just tested it, looking good!
Must have app! :good:
Only "problem" that I saw was not unlocking phone after tapping "View" on popup.
And is it possible to hide text from buttons seen on this screen http://i.imgur.com/anWg7Yx.png ? It is large and most of it can't be seen.

I already have an idea how to implement an unlock feature - give me some minutes and v1.1 could have it.
I don't think it would be possible to remove the text from the buttons, or at least it would be quite complicated and unreliable, as it's actually just the notification's View put in a Dialog and there is a high degree of freedom for developers to create an expanded notification's View - long story short: I don't think it's possible to exactly locate the button's Views and empty the text there, but I could give it a try, eventually.

Ok...noticed something in v1.1
The notification is there for a second or two, and suddenly it disappears and all I see is the lockscreen.
I am using CM10 on LG-P690
EDIT: This also happens if multiple notifications are received one after the other.
v1.1 working fine for me. :good:

For me, too. So the notification sound (vibration, etc...) fires off, the screen lights up, the notification popup appears, then disappears and never comes back again? And all without ANY interaction from you?
EDIT: Yeah, found the reason. I'm working on a fix.
EDIT2: It's a protection for cases when the system can't retrieve a notification's View to just don't show a popup (for which the View would be needed). I could reproduce it with Facebook Messenger's notifications - can you tell me which apps' notifications cause this for you?

Those Icons are dependent on the messaging app. I use Sliding Messaging Pro, which gives me the freedom to remove those buttons. Nothing of that sort is present in the stock app.

Re: [APP; 2.2+] Notify Me! (notifications on the lock screen) v1.1 3.3.13 [GPL]
Hello, Ive been testing it and have following things to say:
In next build could u sort app names alphabetically and make overall size a lil bigger?
If u can implement themes, it would be awesome.
One ques:Are missed calls notified? I havent found phone.apk in the list but Ive added contacts.apk and Im not notified of missed calls.
Good job and pl keep this available for 2.2+:thumbup:
"If I could I would, but I can't so I shan't."
Hello !
As an ex iOS user, I miss notifications all the time on my phone, even with the LED. This app is almost perfect.
I'd just like for the notification to disappear when the screen locks itself again, and have no button at all (since it already unlocked itself in my pocket, and I don't like using a code).
Since I'm a developer too, I might code it myself and throw an icon in the mix.

Sorting the app picker alphabetically is something I've been thinking about since my first app picker, but I never got a good idea how to achieve it. It will be implemented if I get a flash of genius for this problem. Themes? I don't actually know what you want to theme. Sure, if you find the right app in the picker, your missed call notification will be caught by this app, given that the screen is off or locked when the notification is spawned.

Making notifications disappear when the screen gets locked again would be no problem, I guess, but I don't know what you mean by the "no button at all" thing. Anyways, I would love to get an icon!

By no button at all, I mean removing "Dismiss" and "View". More like iOS, you see ? There are no buttons, and the action requires you to slide on the icon. i'll pull the code and play with it this afternoon.

Ah, I see. Sliding the icon would be a little too iOS for me, apart from the fact that I don't have the slightest clue how to implement something like this. Having no buttons could be quite stylish, if I think about it, but I don't know if a slider would be the right thing for this job. If you have some clever idea, please let me know.

I definitely love the idea of this app, it needs some work but sure it's a great start, in having and issue, when I get an sms, I click expand, then I click "read" so it will mark it as read, instead of vanishing, the screen flickers and the notification appears again, like I never hit "read" only way of actually get rid of it is by clicking view :s

Your issue has something to do with the way this app works. It is not intended to react to clicks on that buttons. The popup just intends to be an exact recreation of a notification, including buttons, etc... plus the "Dismiss", "Expand/Collapse" and "View" buttons. By tapping one of the notification's own buttons, the actual notification could disappear, but as I can't know for sure how the notification-spawning app's developer implemented the expanded notification, it would be quite premature to just dismiss the popup on an interaction. To achieve this, you don't necessarily have to hit "View", that's actually the purpose of the "Dismiss" button. As you are on 4.2, you can also tap outside the popup to dismiss it.

Oh I'm not fond of the slide icon like iOS, I just mean a way to prevent accidental touches on these buttons
I don't know how public the API is, but I like the lockscreen ring. Slide left to dismiss, Right to view.
The phone app uses the same (well, maybe it just tells the lockscreen that it is ringing ...)
Maybe it's possible to use it without adding a lot of code.

The DeskClock (alarm) app uses it, too (at least in 4.2) but I don't know how it's implemented and digging in Android's sources will surely bring up something with an API level >= 17 (if public at all, as you mentioned).
A short Google search brought me to this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8629535/implementing-a-slider-in-android
I can imagine that it can be bent for this, but I'm not sure how this will look. You see, I try to make the app look like it belongs to the system it's used on, thus only use designs that adapt theirselves to the used platform, e.g. the android.R.drawable resources, which are provided by the framework the app is running on. I don't think that it will be possible to create a slider which easily integrates in the user interface of every Android flavor. Do you have a concrete idea at the moment? If not, I would start brainstorming about the SeekBar approach.

Hello!
Some of you may know me already, I'm the developer of Scrolling Notifications.
I'm back with a new app! It has a lot of similarities with Scrolling Notifications in some social functions but this time it takes the form of a new Notification Shade, very similar visually to the one in Jelly Bean!
It has a Trial Period of 10days, I hope it's okay with the rules of this board.
You can have Notifications for your SMS (with quick-response and mark as read), Twitter, Facebook (with no signing needed if you have the official app, theoretically :silly and RSS (and maybe more in the future).

Feel free to give your feedback, report bugs and post suggestions! Don't worry other features and enhancements are on the way but for the first release I could not put all that I wanted.
(In case you're wondering about Scrolling Notifications a big update is coming so it integrates Facebook, some small new things coming from this app and some long due bug fixes . No ETA for this one for the moment, because I need to change some core things.)
CHANGELOG 1.3
-Added Full screen option.
-Added Start On Boot option. (activated by default)
-Added option to avoid service stop by system (activated by default)
-Added better mark as read mechanism: notifications can reappear if the service is stopped and that there were not marked as read.
-fixed a bug facebook denying connection with facebook when the official app was installed.
-corrected a bug when switching app and just after sliding down the panel would automatically slide back up
-more bug fix
Changelog 1.2
-fixed a crash with SMS when vibration is activated
-added number of days left for trial period in settings
-better layout in settings
-new option for 12/24 hour format. AM/PM was removed from the 12hour format
-new option for enabling partial panel transparency.
-new option to enable/disable blinking notifications (individual settings planned for future update)
Changelog 1.1.2
Initial Release
Hey I really love your ideas, but you other app I purchased and it has not been updated for some time. So how about giving those who purchased it a free upgrade
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Hi, thanks for your enthusiasm!
As I said for Scrolling Notifications an update is coming with lots of stuff. Sorry it took so long but an overhaul was needed and creating this new app helped me a lot to better reorganize and improve the code and it motivated me to continue even if it's hard for me because the sells of my app don't allow me to work as much as I would want on them.
But I think you're right, the early customers who trusted me by buying my first app should be rewarded. Your idea seems feasible, I'll examine it and come back at you (and the others who previously purchased it) as soon as possible(before the end of the week I hope, in the meantime you can give a try to the app without buying it ).
Thanks for your support!
Just downloaded the app and already loving it!
Login to Twitter for the first few times got some OAuthExceptionError or some sort but managed to login now.
Hopefully this application will receive more likes and the dev will not abandon this project!
1) Eating too much ram and battery
2) Would it be possible if sliding the message away = mark as read?
3) How would I know how many days I've left using the trial? Can you push an update to show it?
4) After using for a long time, when I want to pull down the notification, it will never be pulled down. It just springs back up. tl;dr, it stopped working.
Thanks for the nice words, especially on the play store, it s encouraging!
For Twitter yes it can take 2 or 3 attempts and I m not sure if it s due to the library I m using or Twitter servers but once it s set you should not have anymore problems on this matter.
1- I will investigate the memory/battery issue any more details you could provide can help!
2-you mean for twitter or facebook? It s already the case for sms.
3-in the next update I ll show it on the main settings page, thanks for the suggestion
4-strange this should only happen on the lockscreen can you give more details?

Hahaha you deserve it. :laugh:
I wonder who gave you one star. That bastard.
Yup. After authenticating, it works pretty well ^^
1) Background service is already using up 12mb Is it possible to scale it down?
2) For SMS. When I slide it away, the message icon is still there. Any possible way to remove it? Furthermore, the "New message : 1" still appears on the lock screen.
3)Thank you
4) Seems to be working now, AFTER I got one notification. Before that, it's hard to slide the notification down.
Some features request [ You don't have to do it! Just giving some suggestions to make it better ^^ ]
Whatsapp Notification [ I doubt it's possible because I heard there's no API to it? Maybe just a simple notification will do?]
Colors [ Message icon, bar icon etc etc]
Notification vibration and sounds for each individual.
Vibration pattern.
Custom sound - Using our own music.
Bug/Glitches
SMS vibrate when switched on doesn't seem to work. FC when message arrived.
.
Etc :
Alignment of text [At the "Advanced Tab", "Twitter" doesn't align with the other text"]
I'll have a go at Facebook and RSS notification as I'm currently using only SMS and Twitter updates.
Then I'll update this post again! Possible about 2 - 3 hours from now!
Hope to see some updates soon! Thank you! ^^
For the 1-star guy it's a german speaker with a desire hd, he basically says it's a good approach, the app is not bad, but not good enough to buy it and he seems to have lot of lags ( I think he speaks about sliding up and down the panel, which is not very fluid, I'll try to make it better, for example by making the background opaque by default and activate transparency via an option, and by other means). 1-star seems a bit harsh yeah .
I also added Beta in the title on the Play Store, it may be more appropriate so people don't expect it to be 100% bugfree first release, I do my best to provide a professional product but I don't have the means for the moment to test every possible configuration before release so sadly some problems are expected at the beginning . I don't know, what do you guys think ?
Previous points:
1- I'll do my best to scale it down, I have a few optimizations ideas I need to test, I don't guarantee all will come in one update but I'll make it a priority
2-For the icon, at my knowledge the only way to remove it is to disable the notifications in your SMS app, then you'll have to rely on my app for the visual icon and the notification sound/vibration (by ticking the box in the advanced options)
4-I'll take a look, the slide down mechanism can surely be improved.
Feature Requests:
-I can do the same thing I've done with my last app, allow classic notifications to be displayed by enabling the "Accessibility Service" for my app in the phone options but you won't be able to interact with these notifications except discarding it. This in my todo list but after some features I want to add to Facebook/Twitter (like pictures of contacts or articles)
-Totally do-able and will be done in a few updates
-Vibration and sounds for each notifications: will be done ASAP, this is something lacking for a release I have to admit. For custom sounds instead of the default one for sms, I'll take a look and I'll add it at the same time if it's fast to implement or a bit after otherwise (sorry it's a bit vague )
Bugs:
-I reproduced the error and found the solution, it will be in the next update
Etc:
-For the twitter text, yes I need to resize the image, there's a lot of blank space in it, that's why the text is not aligned ^^
Thanks for the report, if you want to be a beta-tester for future app, you will be welcome

I did install and all I got was a blank notification bar, no other notifications showed (clock signal) all gone and pull down was blank ad well.
I'm am on sensation 4g cm10
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
What type of notifications did you choose ? (SMS/Facebook/Twitter/RSS)
For Facebook/Twitter/RSS it can take a few seconds before informations are retrieved, depending on your connection, also messages are downloaded only once so if you deleted a notification (accidentaly or not) or the app was stopped for a reason or another, it is possible that you need for new notifications to be displayed. It's not perfect on this state but I'm working on a much better system where notifications "survive" the app shutdown (which the phone can do if you use another app which is memory expensive for example).
For SMS do you have a third-party app for SMS like Go SMS or Handcent ? In this case you can try this :
Go SMS: Settings-> receive settings -> uncheck second option blocking duplicate messages
Handcent: Settings ->Application Settings -> Default Messaging Applications -> Disable
A reboot can be necessary.
But maybe your problem is elsewhere. You said the notification bar was blank, do you mean it covers your usual notification icons? Was it in the app settings? (where it should be transparent blue). Was it blinking ? The bar position in the main settings was left right or center ? Could you please provide some screenshots ?

For now sms only disabled any other sms notifications, here is what happens. It covers every thing even reboot dialog.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Ok.
Second screenshot is the normal state of the app when the notification panel is completely deployed and there is no unread sms.
First one looks like you had one message and you were pulling it down. If that's the case there s nothing abnormal, notification panel looks that empty in vanilla 4.1. Do you have difficulties pulling it back up? What is strange for you? Sorry if I m missing something.
For the reboot dialog, you'll have to pull up the notification panel first, I cannot detect when it's showing.
I've been looking high and low for something like this, thanks!

Great! Tell me if you encounter any problems!
First update is on the way with the "Vibration" fix; the text for remaining days for trial version and the fix for disappearing notifications if the service was stopped/restarted by the system.
It might take a few more hours, if my download of Black Mesa finishes before I upload the update
I don't know whether or not it is just me, but I've been noticing that when the drawer scrolls back up (like when using the settings shortcut in the drawer) it will scroll back up incredibly slow (it takes about 2-3 seconds to disappear entirely again). Also, if I try to move the drawer down while on the lockscreen, it will bounce up and down and then disappear. I've also been getting errors on facebook login, "This app is misconfigured for facebook login." These are the only issues I've encountered, other than that, I'm really liking it.

Yes the scrolling up is slow on some phones at least and it will be improved (especially for the settings shortcut).
For the lockscreen it's a known issue, and a solution will be soon added.
The facebook error is strange, I've never encountered it, when does it happen? At the first login or at random times ? Did you succeed in retrieving any facebook infos? Do you have the Facebook app installed ? (I tested on a phone with Facebook app and it worked great but it's still a good indication). Do you think you could screenshot it if it happens again ? Thanks
And by the way, what phone do you have ?
I've been using this for around two days, so far so good. I would just recommend improving the speeds of dragging up and down, and maybe removing the am/pm from the time! Jelly bean doesn't show the am or pm. Also, when I get a text, the status bar blinks on and off on top over my regular one. Is that supposed to happen?

Hello!
Thanks for reporting, speed for panel sliding on/off will be improved.
Ok for AM/PM, It's the 24h format in my language so I did notice it only yesterday when I was taking screenshots for the english version.
Yes it blinks to display the icons and their notification count because I cannot add it to the regular one for each type of notification and partial transparency or complete occlusion of what could be beneath in the original bar didn't seem to be a good solution. Well it's not perfect and I'm open to suggestions but it will be soon customizable in speed and you'll also be able to remove it.
Sorry, but may I know when the next update is coming? Any ETA? I really can't wait! Hahaha
Bug report :
RSS, Twitter etc doesn't update. Only updates the first time you activate it
Today or tomorrow for the update
I played black mesa a bit and then had a big headache maybe because of the strange head bobbing on horizontal movement... :-s.
Your problem is strange, for me RSS and Twitter work well, does it update if you click again on " activate" ?
Hey guys, I have been working hard on my app, Notif, for a few months now and I decided to make a page for discussion. You can talk about anything related to the app, including requests, bugs, or any other comments.
It is an app for Jelly Bean that allows you to create rich notifications for your device. 4.1 introduced expandable notifications, which I'm sure you all know about already. Notif leverages that and blends your own content with rich notifications to create sort of a note/reminder/list app for your notification shade. There are three types of notifications you can create: text, picture, and list. Each of these are expandable just like a long text message, a screenshot, or new e-mails. See what you can do with Notif for yourself!
Notif requires Android 4.1 or above.
Notif
Notif Pro
Notif Pro features:
Notification editing
All 200 icons!
Unlimited Notif History
Create notifications from other apps
QuickNotif - create/clear notifications from anywhere on your phone
Lots more to come
Right now, I am working on these fixes:
[ ]Better resolution for camera images
[ ]Nexus 7 picture bug
[ ]Get image from other sources (Dropbox, Drive, etc.)

I love the app. I've been using it for a few months now.
I recommend everyone buy the pro version and show your support to this developer. He is quick to respond to any questions/messages sent and has produced a great application.
If nothing else, take a minute to say thanks as this is someone who taken the time to develop a quality application for the phones and platform we enjoy so much.
Keep up the great work. I hope you stay inspired to not only continue developing this application, but developing others in the future as well.

Hey guys, quick update. I just got out of school so I have a ton of extra time to work on the app. First I'll be catching the free version up with the Pro in terms of UI tweaks and settings and fixes, etc. Then I'm fixing the reboot issue.
I also created a Notif Community on Google+ so join if you'd like!
Thanks
Nice work. Just went into the market and looked over your app. Haven't tried it yet but plenty of ideas where this could be useful and on that note, I purchased your app. My wife who loves Cherrywine (in the picture) is amused by your Soda app and the look/clean development look/style of the app gave me the solid impression to begin with. Call it an impulse purchase.

Right now, they are. In the future, I hope to add an alert feature where the user will be able to add a custom time for the notification to appear.
Nice work man. Will give this a try
will the reminders lost after reboot?
I'm not sure if any of you are like me but I've got an app for basically everything. I've got apps for things that I barely ever do, but when I do, I have it. I keep everything well organized. Tabbed launcher app drawer, folders, and so forth. It's set up so perfect to my liking.
Sometimes I'm not sure about where/how I need to execute a function. For instance, being a general contractor and things are yelled, told, and asked through out my day where I've got to remember these things, much of it on a timely manner. I could load up Catch Notes which is my goto app for all things Notes. I could just use my Calender to place it in the correct date 'said item' is due/needed. Perhaps I could use the 'My Measure' app and snap a photo and write in my measurements. A lot of those things tend to take me a few minutes and at times I feel like I stare at my screen much to often, even though it's important to document/log this information.
This is where 'Notif' comes into play. Being able to setup things in the notification is sure to grab my attention to things I need to be aware of. If your anything like me, I check my phone display numerous times a day, sometimes cause I'm just refreshing my brian, sometimes out of habit. So, hopefully this will fulfill my need to NOTIFy me of the task/data that I need to follow up on/enter into my phone. This is how I will be using NOTIF as basically a quick note/reminder app for my pulldown. I will report back.
Take care,
Johnny

In Notif Pro, simply highlight some text in a webpage and click on the share action, and share with Notif and it will create a notification. This only works with text items (in any app that has a share intent), but I will be working on Big Picture notifications in the future.
I just released an update to the free version that includes a lot of fixes. You can see the full change log here as always. I even update it with what I'm currently working on. Consider buying Notif Pro as it includes all the good features. Happy holidays!!
Dev,
Have you seen NotificationBrowser? The idea that these two apps merged seems like a great concept. That dev is on ICS and couldn't try NOTIF unfortunately but now I can put my notifications to a widget. Thanks for your hardwork!

Don't have 4.2 yet but that looks really cool. Wish I could try it

Working like a charm though it's a pity that the notification does not get away once it's read
Anyways, awesome job, I know there's a lot of people who has been waiting to something like this :good:
try to make the UI more holo-like.. to blend in.
add a little blue/grey. but not too much background transparency.
Thanks for the feedback:
1. Notifications clear - I'm planning to implement full notifications clear when screen is unlocked, any thoughts on this?
2. Holo look - I'll raise opacity to 75% (currently it's 50%), I think this will make the gray and blue colors more noticeable.
Love it so much!
I hope it has a option that do not turn on the screen when a new notification arrives.
Thanks!:laugh:

how about creating an option to let the users decide the background opacity?
default is the original JB grey..
edit: can you also implement -> slide to remove (individual remove per app notifications)?
also i noticed your permissions are "prevent phone from sleeping"
why is it that way? means our phone wont go into deep sleep right? :S

" Slide to dismiss" is impossible to implement on lock screen widgets (or any widgets at all). Must have buttons.
The permission is needed to turn the screen on when notification arrives. The phone will act normally and will go to deep sleep if needed.
This looks very promising, especially with a Holo theme
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
This would look great with a few design changes, i.e. a more holo/4.2 look.
I hope there will be settings available to control things like opacity, which apps/notifications to show, privacy options, etc.
I wish you all the best and look forward to using your invention

Corgi is a one of a kind lock screen replacement. It transforms your standard lock in to a Feedly (RSS) reader. It’s a full app experience right when you turn ON the screen. All of this is made in a beautiful Material Design.
How it works?
Once the phone has started, you’ll see latest headlines from your favorite resources. You are still a single gesture away from unlocking your phone. But if you have a minute or two, Corgi is right here, waiting for you with the latest articles from the web. If you saw an intriguing headline, just swipe up and enjoy the article. Browse more stories by swiping to the left, it is that simple.
Corgi is made for Feedly
To make this all come true, we have partnered with the best news aggregator out there. Feedly is fast, reliable. But most importantly, thanks to the Feedly v3 Engine, it let’s you get news from anywhere. Starting with big news resources as The Verge, TechCrunch, XDA-Developers going to more local ones like Boston Business News. Allowing you to read the news, you actually care of. Note: if you are already using Feedly, you don't need to subscribe again.
Why Corgi?
If a dog is men best friend. Then corgi is the most adorable friend. We want to bring that positive mood right to your lock screen.

That's is strange, it's related to the fact that Samsung has it's own alarm, it is not that easy to tract that event. But we will do our best to solve this.
Cool App!
Although one thing that bugs me: After a reboot, the screen is black and only after I pulled down the status bar and clicked on something, the PINCode Pattern appears.
awesome!! I really like it. This is the type of lockscreen I looked for a long time
One thing that buggs me is, if I swipe to the right, it dismisses the last article so that I can't get back to it.
Also it would be nice to have an animation to the pattern lock. instead of it just popping up
**EDIT**
Also it would be nice to include Notifications or space for a widget (to use external notification widget-apps)

Very nice app. Produces pretty lockscreens. BUT it prevents Daydreams working in CM12 and I don't want the distraction of attractive news feeds facing me when I'm using the phone in my desk dock.

Is daydream a part of your standard lock screen? Also, have you tried AcDisplay app? As far as I know Corgi works ok with AcDisplay. I'll take a look if this can be fixed though!
The potential is big with this one.
Hi there!
You've piqued my interest for this app so much that I decided to sign up on XDA and post here, even though I've been using it for almost 5 years. Please continue development and make this even more awesome.
A Bug report:
Phone: Oneplus One
ROM: Euphoria ROM by Mahdi (CM12 base)
DPI: 408
I faced a critical bug somehow while running this app.
After I installed the app, everything ran smoothly until this error started showing up every two seconds.
Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(I looked into this error on the internet and the most common reason seemed to be due to a problem with Contacts. But as this error popped up just minutes after I installed this app, I thought otherwise.)
Whatever I tried, it went in vain. I tried rebooting the phone, clearing the data and cache for this app and all that. Zilch. The issue vanished, though, the second I uninstalled this app. No offense but I think there is a possibility that it might have something to do with your app. If I'm wrong, I'm all ears. I'm not very well versed in anything here.
Things I loved:
The animations
The way the app opened up a temp browser to display the entire content
The clean interface
Things that can be improved:
Lock pattern integration (Animation and more options)
The ability to show the Navigation bar translucently instead of going immersive. This is frustrating a little as when ever I pull down the status bar, the nav bar comes up as well causing the lockscreen to seemingly stutter to accommodate the change. I hope you get this.
The color filter that you superimpose over the article while turning the screen on is nice, but can get rather striking at times. I think it would be better if the colors were a little subdued and if the images had a factor of blurriness in them to make the items like Date and Time on the lockscreen more legible.
An option to view the newsfeed as a stream of news articles by swiping up and down.
I see that there is a default image that you use for articles that do not have one? I request you to use a nicer one Because I see a busy street somewhere in Asia as the default pic and it isn't doing justice to the good aesthetics of this app
Thanks a ton for this app. If some of the issues here and there are ironed out, I don't see why it wouldn't become my daily driver!

Hi there!
You've piqued my interest for this app so much that I decided to sign up on XDA and post here, even though I've been using it for almost 5 years. Please continue development and make this even more awesome.
A Bug report:
Phone: Oneplus One
ROM: Euphoria ROM by Mahdi (CM12 base)
DPI: 408
I faced a critical bug somehow while running this app.
After I installed the app, everything ran smoothly until this error started showing up every two seconds.
(I looked into this error on the internet and the most common reason seemed to be due to a problem with Contacts. But as this error popped up just minutes after I installed this app, I thought otherwise.)
Whatever I tried, it went in vain. I tried rebooting the phone, clearing the data and cache for this app and all that. Zilch. The issue vanished, though, the second I uninstalled this app. No offense but I think there is a possibility that it might have something to do with your app. If I'm wrong, I'm all ears. I'm not very well versed in anything here.
Things I loved:
The animations
The way the app opened up a temp browser to display the entire content
The clean interface
Things that can be improved:
Lock pattern integration (Animation and more options)
The ability to show the Navigation bar translucently instead of going immersive. This is frustrating a little as when ever I pull down the status bar, the nav bar comes up as well causing the lockscreen to seemingly stutter to accommodate the change. I hope you get this.
The color filter that you superimpose over the article while turning the screen on is nice, but can get rather striking at times. I think it would be better if the colors were a little subdued and if the images had a factor of blurriness in them to make the items like Date and Time on the lockscreen more legible.

Firstly, thank you for you feedback! It's great to see that the app made you interested. Concerning your bug, we will take a look at it. If you could send us a log, that would be great. To do so, after the crash go to the Corgi app, swipe right and press "Leave Feedback". When you send it, it will attach a log, this helps us to trace crashes etc.
Concerning your feedback. The immersive more, color filter, lock patter animations, will be there once we have menu settings fully ready. We just need some more time. News feed as a stream is something bothering our minds for a while now. We will have it, but not soon. There are some ideas, but we have to rewrite the whole app for that
notifications?
Is there any plans for showing notifications on top of the news items ?

Is daydream a part of your standard lock screen? Also, have you tried AcDisplay app? As far as I know Corgi works ok with AcDisplay. I'll take a look if this can be fixed though!

daydream is baked-in feature of CyanogenMOd based roms (not sure if it's the AOSP source). It simply initiates one of a number of pre-set functions when plugged-in, docked or both, after a given unused elapsed time.
I've never used AcDisplay - never needed to as Daydream normally works fine. I'm not keen on installing additional apps to bring back functionality lost or inhibited by others - that way you just clog you system up with more and more useless code.
I will certainly drop back and see if this issue gets fixed though as I do like your app
Cheers

First of all thank you. This is a beautiful app that truly defines how beautiful an app can be following material design guidelines. I hope to see more features in it soon. so far so good. Animations are smooth and nice. Layout is excellent. Color layers are gorgeous.
Now after using this app for a couple of hours here are a few things that could be improved.
- When I turn the screen ON my notification drop down panel is extended. I have to swipe up to make it go away and look at the news articles on lock screen. Reading your comment above [quoted] doesn't seem like its intended behavior.
- Reading an article by swiping up on lock screen or moving to another article by swiping left doesn't mark that article as "read". Which means that if I go back to Feedly, all articles I have scrolled past on Corgi are still there. It would be better if this functionality can be added.
- Lock screen runs in "immersive mode". Which means if I swipe up from the bottom of screen I can make the navigation bar to show. However one I make it appear and click on any navigation key it sticks to the screen and doesn't go away.
Feature Request:
I have a lot of feeds coming into Feedly. Is it possible to "pin" a single feed or multiple to show on lock screen instead of all feeds? Plus if the order of feeds could be re-arranged inside Corgi would be really nice to have feature.
Device Info: Oneplus One
Rom: Tuga Power (CM12) vs 55
DPI: 500 (on this DPI this lockscreen is absolutely beautiful and smooth).
Once again, great work and keep the updates coming.
Introduction
Often forgetting to do or get something? You need quick memo or reminder without the hustle? Try "Memo reminders".
How does it work?
"Memo reminders" creates Android notifications which can be seen in notification drawer. Easily accessible, always there.
Specially with Android 5 where notifications are also shown on the lock-screen, you will see you quick memos or reminders every time when you check your phone.
Don't want them on the lock screen? No worries, there is option for that.
Perfect for making quick grocery list before going to shop.
Just swipe it away when done.
Personally I'm using it mostly for creating grocery list before going to shop or to remind myself to do something during day/s when I will time.
I also made Chrome Extension that replaces your new tab page where can create reminders and you will see them each time you open new tab.
And there are widgets to make your new tab page more useful. You can get it from the Chrome Web Store.
Features
Highly customizable: set icon, short text, add longer description if needed
Show reminders only when unlocked
Keeps history of your memo reminders
No ads
Nice and clean design (I think)
Add actions on reminders - Customize the action when you tap on the notification. You can set the action to dial number, prepare SMS text or email someone, navigate to your destination, open website if you need to book tickets, launch application(ex. launch Camera app for #SelfieOfTheDay)… you name it!
Not enough space for description? Use Emojis!
Saves you time and effort.
"Read contacts" permission is added to prevent crashing when picking contacts on some Sony and HTC devices.
No personal information is collected.

- Added "Read contacts" permission to prevent crashing when picking contacts on some Sony and HTC devices.
- Fixed other small bugs and crashes.
I'm so forgetful that it's for sure going to be handy ^^
I'll try for a little while then buy it if it suits me.
Thanks for your work!
First of all:
This app is simple and powerful, yet still manages to be beautiful at the same time. :good:
I suppose it wasn't intended for this, but would it be possible to include a Time-Date/Location reminder?
Otherwise this app is perfect for me and I already use it very often, that reminder thing is the only thing that prevents me to completely switch from Google Keep
Keep up the good work
One issue I noticed, when I attempt to setup a reminder to call a contact it crashes the app. I can successfully setup a call to a number manually imputed,though. I am using an HTC one m7 unrooted.
**Edit: it appears Any request to connect to the address book crashes the app... I just got the same result from setting a message to be sent from a contact.
Also, one suggestion : I'd love to see the option to only show the shortcut in the statusbar (without being on the lockscreen). I think clutter on the lockscreen in Android 5 is a real problem for a lot of people.
Thank you for the great app and taking the time to read my suggestion. ?

Very Cool App, Thanks A Lot
Nice app! Keep up the great work!

This is a beaitful material-based app with an awesome functionality. Everything works just fine.
One question: is it normal or desired that if you unlock the phone the reminders "jump" under the notifications?
Nevertheless awesome app :good:
@drashko
Great idea and beautifully simplistic.
Ideas for consideration:
- Repeat reminder on a set day(s)
- Reminder during set hours

Scheduling reminders is planned to be added in future, about the location, I'll consider it. General idea for the application is to be very simple to use.

I agree about the shortcut, that is great idea, thanks.
For some reason, READ_CONTACTS permission is needed on your device and that is crashing the application. I'll look into.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.
If you set personal reminders, it is normal because they are readded on unlock.

Cool ideas. As I mentioned above, scheduling reminders is on my to-do list and will think about them.
Thanks.
Big thanks to @GermainZ for spreading the word, I appreciate it!
I'm gonna use this on my note 5 and use it as one of my "air command" apps

This is an essential tool.
It is simple and effective.
I like how you can change the icon for the reminder so it shows on top screen to jog your memory with a simple glance.
If you can support split screen for Samsung note devices it would be awesome. No need tho.
I wouldnt be surprised if samsung, apple, Google come knocking on your door.
Awesome job ???
thanks
good tool
This app is crashing for me when I try to select "launch app" as the reminder action. As soon as I select this it just crashes
Other than that problem though, it's a great app, I love it
Is the lock screen notifications only for lollipop? I am still on KitKat, and it doesn't seem to work there. Other than that, the app works so far. I will keep you posted.
Your apps seems great. Thanks for your work.
@drashko nice concept. Well gonna use this app for daily use....

I added MemoReminders-1.0.0-xda-HTC.apk in Downloads tab, it has the READ_CONTACTS permission. Let me know how it will work for you.
Don't worry, your contacts won't leave the device.

I am running on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4, KitKat 4.4.4 stock ROM.
It shows the little check mark in the status bar while on the lockscreen, it just doesn't show the notifications like in the screenshots.

In that case yes, that is Lollipop feature. But you can try to get similar feature with DashClock Widget + DashNotifier and add it like lockscreen widget.
