Well I had this originally in the General section, but that was silly. This will likely get a bit more attention here
My wife got this phone, so I decided I'd tinker a bit. While this is much closer to complete - it's still a work in progress. That being said, more than enough is done to warrant it being posted.
Let me know if things work, or if any oddities come up. Also feel free to comment on how this might improve or if I've gone about anything in a not-so-smart way.
Usual rules apply - while very much stable in my experience you should be cautious whenever you flash. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset to avoid issues. Flash in CWM recovery.
This does NOT include a kernel - it's just /system, and it's based on the latest UVLF4 2.3.6 stock rom. Also - this is pretty much unthemed. There are a few minor theme-ish things going on (pulldown, dialer), but nothing major by any means.
CWM Installation instructions:
- Backup your current setup/data
- Download file and place on sdcard
- Boot into CWM recovery
- Recommended to wipe data/factory reset in CWM recovery
- Select and install the .zip you put on your sdcard

FAQ
Q: When I first boot up the phone after flashing there is no statusbar...
A: While this doesn't always happen (I actually haven't had the issue yet) - it's just a temporary thing.
A simple reboot will fix it, as will anything that activates the ticker - like connecting your phone to a PC, getting a new text message, installing an app from the play store, etc.
Q: The secure lock delay seems to not adhere to the setting I put it at... what gives?
A: In my experience this DOES work, but it works best when you let the screen time out on its own. The delay bit behaves differently when the screen turns off based on using something like the power button, typically resulting in very short delays. I happen to like this myself.
Q: It seems like I don't have root access anymore... what happened?
A: Well, for those that experienced this issue with version 1.5, my guess is it had something to do with a mismatch in su location and rooted kernel behavior, or possibly a mismatch in supersu verison and su binary. I was never able to recreate the problem, but at least one user who did have the problem said it was fixed with version 1.6.
If you are having problems and are not using the stock kernel - I heartily recommend using the kernel from erikmm's latest darknight build (build 8 as of this posting).
Q: Why are people reporting different boot animations? Did I do something wrong? How do I tell what version I'm running?
A: Tweaked comes with NO kernel - meaning it does not touch what already exists for kernel, modem, etc. Whatever you had prior to flashing is the same as what you have after flashing, meaning if the kernel you had supported custom boot animations that is what you'll see, and if it didn't you'll see the (different) stock one. As far as knowing what version you are running... I suppose I should do something about that, and I will at some future point (already know how I'll do it too...). In the meantime, just look at the changelog and see if you can do or notice some of the things the newest list describes - if not, move down the list I suppose. Not the best workaround, but I've got a plan for what to do with the next update, it'll just take a bit to implement...
Q: Why don't you mention blah blah blah in your FAQ? It would have helped me a lot!
A: My bad - PM me anything you think should be added to this that would be helpful for the general user base!
If I ever get a handle on theme work - maybe screenshots?
If this goes in to a stable release ill be sending a donation your way. This looks REALLY nice.
This looks really nice. Only issue I had was connecting data. I tried to resetting to default apn and it spun searching without any connection. Wifi connected quickly. Also had a couple of acore fc errors. Other than that, the rom looks good. Nice job so far

Thanks for the feedback - logcats would be awesome if you can get them for the acore FCs. Odd that you had data issues, as I did nothing really that would influence how data connects. I take it you were eventually able to connect?

This Rom seems to have some great customization. Has anyone had a chance to test it out? I'm interested to hear if its stable enough for a daily driver?
Lol found the issue - tested it out myself and all seems well. Uploading the fix now. I will update the OP when it's done.
Stupid CSC.apk.
EDIT: Ok, all uploaded. Enjoy!
EDIT2: LOL - found two quick things I forgot, uploading take c now.
EDIT3: Ok - uploaded again. No more changes for a bit - even though I've already started up again w/ Contacts.apk and getting the various lists to play nice w/ the transparent idea...
using this rom since few hours..so far so good. will report error if any!! thanks for the rom
Edit: found an issue- titanium back up or my backup does not work.
flashed this a few hours ago, no issues to report yet, I like the status bar tweaks and the drop down scrolling toggles, I've been jumping back and forth between my jb vibrant and this blaze and I can't wait for a little google love for this one....

Could you define "not work"? Specifically - is it an issue of root access? I was on the fence on whether to include the 3.0.7 or the 3.1.3 variant of Superuser/su, as others across different phones have reported some issues with the newer iterations. It was a little funny for me as well, but after clearing data in SuperUser and giving it a little time everything seemed fine.

Were there any errors along with this loss of signal? As apps like setcpu are more of a kernel-dependent app - what kernel are you using? None was included in the zip, so it should be whatever you were using prior to flashing. Did you change any settings in either of the apps? Does signal return if you uninstall the apps? What if you reboot again? Are you showing no signal in About Phone > Status?
Will flash now..Will report any issues with a log

Wanted to let you know that today's build seems to work better. I have not had any issues with WIFI or data connection. Good job so far
Flashed this a couple of hours ago. Awesome job! Loving the customization. The only problem I've run into is I get a FC when trying to open lockscreen settings in TSM Parts.
thanks for sharing this.

Quick question for you, is it a know issue with sending pics via text/MMS via WIFI? Message attempts to be sent but a message pops up stating that it will be sent when the network/service is available.

Does this happen on stock? Do you have data on while WiFi is on? I feel like you may have to have data on for that sort of thing, but that discussion was for a different phone and carrier. Do other blaze ROMs not have this issue?
I'm pretty new to the whole gsm/T-Mobile scene (and to ROM tinkering in general really) so those that are more knowledgeable feel free to chime in
Something got in me that since i only use swipe unlock in my phone, someone could easily open it, drag an app to the "app info" icon and hit uninstall just for the fun of it. Paranoia got stronger since half my class are bullies, and, well you know the rest.
I searched play store for "app lock" and i saw several good ones but they dont mention anything about locking uninstallation.
Id be glad if someone helps me.

App lock does lock uninstalling apps. You will need to lock the package installer. It's under advanced settings.
This is the app I'm talking about.

APP Lock does not have admin rights which allows anyone to remove it...

nee a way to prevent the uninstall from application manager and app store.. maybe even hide them from application manager and app store
Basically any app that needs linking to facebook doesnt work.

Please help. Thanks.
UP, anyone?
What do you want to link?
The official FB app can sync the contacts itself.
The pic quality will be bad though. So i use sync.me app for that.

This is a bug in the Facebook API.
Hello all!!
I am developing a new app, its called Hovering Controls. The app imitates the beheaviour of Air Gesture from Galaxy S4 (some options need root like gallery swipe and browser scroll) It also emulates Quick Glance, Air Call accept etc etc..
You can also control your music/video players, start your desired app on a move, switch to previous apps, jump to launchscreen....you can check the features bellow.
I have 2 version of the app, both full versions, one is XDA version wich is totally free (you can download here) and a supportive version published in Google Play (with this version you support future updates and features).
Any feedback and suggestions are well received. I will try to add all features you ask for.
Thank you every body!!
Sharing INFO:
Please do not upload the app in other sites, stores or online storages. Link back to this post or to Google Play.
I prefer not using the app on custom roms, i prefer that people just download it from here or the store so they always can have the latest updates and fixes.
If you make a translated version (i will translate it asap) pm me with a link to download so i can post it here too.
Any questions, petitions suggestions or whatever you want, pm me or contact me via Skype([email protected]) or gmail([email protected])
Thank you everybody!

Hello all!!
I am developing a new app, its, for now, called Hovering Controls, it allows you to open your desired app with hand gesture (1 slide, slide twice and hover) (not real gesture as it uses proximity sensor) it also allow you to play, pause, next,previous your songs/videos even with screen off. Also mute alarm and ring phone with a simple hand wave. There are 2 modes, target mode (1 gesture for one app) and carousel mode where you can set a list app and it goes throught them.
I would like to hear from your opinions and feedback.
Thank you very much all!!

delete the spaces in the url as i still cant post urls.
PD:The icon is just a demo not the final one. It has a widget also to stop/pause the detection.

Not really, you can not control de interface of apps, just open your selected app with hand waves. Extra features are music/video player control, alarm and phone call ringing mute.
I still need to work on the event detector, some phones have slower sensors and if you wave your hand fast nothing is detected...i will need to figure out how to make it "smooth" with all sensors.
About ram, i will need to check that, i will clean the code, it still has debugging code and variables. Good thing is while running, the code only runs when a proximity event happens, so its not all time looping throught the code.
If you find that the app is not working with your fav music/video player, post the name of the app and i will update it. If you find out more features for it, also post them i will try.
New version uploaded that allow you to test your sensor so you can test your hand slides and check what happens.

Yep, settings not working yet, i will add an option to not show an icon in the notif bar (it is shown because the service is running as foreground so Android do not destroy it for resources, in the next update with the option to not show the icon, if you check it, android may destroy the service for a moment if needed)

I'm using it for the same purpose! Really a nice app and is functioning properly. And few more features in the future would be great!
Just one problem I'm facing is even though I select 'Camera' app from the list, the function opens 'Gallery', always.

It works with package names, sometimes some stock apps, has same package name but different class name, that is what can be happenning there, can you tell me the name of the apps and if they are stock apps, wich rom, android version and phone do you have?
I will need to investigate it a little more to fix this issues.
I'm using Micromax Canvas A116 HD with stock Android 4.2.1. The app which I'm trying to link is stock Camera app.

Lets debug this a little bit...for example, in Hover Hold option, you select camera app, and it opens the gallery? when its opening a message is shown (a toast message) what it says? opening camera or opening gallery?
I explain this a little more:
In my S3 when i choose to open contacts or telephone, it always opens the same app althought they are shown as different apps, both have the same package name, and thats why it opens the same...i will try to fix this beheaviour.
It says 'Opening Camera' but still opens Gallery.

Well...its weird xD
Lets try this, unninstall the app, and install the new apk attached in this message. In Hovering Hold, when you choose the app, it will now show the package name. Check what it says choosing camera and what choosing gallery, packages should be different. let me know how it goes plz.
Thank you very much in advance!
Well yeah, the 4.2+ camera is basically one application, so I can understand why it opens the gallery.
Really nice idea by the way, I will be keeping an eye on this. I set it to open Google Now, and so far it's working well.

awesome work
Thanks forgin for such a awesome app tested on galaxy note ..every thing just works... camera , browser , dialer are working my fav..
It's really a great concept, but I'm having a few troubles. First, I can't get hover hold to work at all, not even while testing the sensor. Second, whenever it recognizes a double swipe, it opens the correct app, but then immediately opens the single swipe app as well. Idk if my waving isn't very good or what, but the sensor isn't sensitive enough for this to be useful for me.

Hrumph...some gestures. I flipped off my phone for 30 seconds, and nothing happened but it going into sleep mode. I guess I don't intimidate it.
Seriously, though, this thing is running pretty nicely. I'll have to keep an eye on it to see how battery life is affected, of course. Now people driving next to me are going to think I'm conducting an orchestra or something...
Hi,
DynamicNotifications is an elegant, unobtrusive way to show you your latest notifications even when the screen is off. When you miss a call or receive a new email/SMS, the display will discreetly light up to let you know, without needing to unlock the device. Most phones only have a pulsing notification LED that doesn't actually tell you anything about the incoming notification - with DynamicNotifications, you can immediately decide if something is important enough to act: DynamicNotifications (free) on Google Play
It uses the new "Notification Listener" service introduced in 4.3 and therefore has minimal impact on your battery. If you own an AMOLED-phone, the "battery saving" feature should work automatically, since black pixels are simply not turned on. The app comes with a number of additional features, such as not turning on when the device is inside your pocket, purse, or lying face down. I've recently added compatibility for 4.0+ devices via the "Accessibility service". How well this works may vary from device to device, the best experience/performance will be on Android 4.3.
Thanks!
Nick
Update (v1.2): I've released a beta-version (v1.2beta) through this Google+ Community (and have attached the same .apk to this post). Please let me know if you're running into any issues while using the beta, I will make it available as a public update soon. [Changelog]
Update (v1.3beta): Version 1.3beta is now live in the Google+ Community (and attached here). It implements multiple notifications (displayed as small icons below the "main" notification). Please let me know if something doesn't work.
Update (v1.3): I have just pushed version 1.3 to the Play Store (and attached it here), so everyone (not only beta-participants) should receive it soon. If you run into any issues, please email supp.. @greatbytes.org
Update (v1.4alpha): I've just release the very first alpha version of DynamicNotifications that is compatible with Android versions >4.1.2. There are still many bugs to fix, so please don't be disappointed if it doesn't work on your device straight away. Please join this Google+ Community and opt-in to receive the alpha version via this link afterwards. It may take a few hours for the update to be visible in Google Play. You don't need to update if you're on Android 4.3, the only change in this version is 4.1.2+ compatibility. I'm going to bed now, it's 3am over here and I've been working nonstop on this app for the past 3 days, so please be kind if the alpha version doesn't work straight away ! Thanks!
Update (v1.4alpha6): I've updated the 4.1.2+ compatible version again, it's been pushed to the Play Store and is attached here. The changes:
- Custom brightness feature implemented
- If a custom timeout is set and you hold down the middle icon, the timeout is temporarily paused (until you let go of the middle icon again)
- Forces "portrait" orientation of the notification screen by popular demand
- Implemented JB-clock for devices running >=4.2
- Added explanation to the "Custom timeout mode" (currently doesn't work correctly if you've got your system lock set to "None" or "Slide" and requires Device Administrator rights to be able to shut off the screen)
Update (v1.4): I've further improved version 1.4 and have pushed it to the production-channel on Google Play (and it's attached here).
The changes are:
v1.4:
- Fixed JB-clock cut-off issue
- The *newest* notification will now always be displayed in the circle (and older notifications will move to the bottom icon row)
Update (v1.5alpha2): Attached is v1.5alpha2. *The only change* in 1.5alpha2 compared to 1.4 is that it adds experimental compatibility with Android 4.0+. So if you've got a 4.1.2+ device, you don't need to update to 1.5alpha2, but if you're running 4.0/4.1 it would be awesome if you could let me know here (or via email) if the alpha works for you. As I said, it's extremely experimental as I don't have a 4.0 device for testing, but it should work ! Thanks!
Update (v1.5stable): Changelog:
- Fixes SMS notifications on the Galaxy S2/S3/S4 + HTC One
- Now shows the notifications screen again if a second/third/etc. notification arrives (I'm still working on the "breathing" feature!)
- Clock cut-off issue should be fixed
- Main notification icon is now displayed in double the size (white ring coming soon!)
- "Screen shuts off after custom timeout passed, even if I swiped up" should be fixed
- Persistent/ongoing notifications are now blocked by default for pre-4.3 devices, too
Update (v1.6beta): Changelog:
- Revamped the "Custom screen timeout"-feature - it should now work even if you've got your system lockscreen set to "None"/"Slide" and also should play nice with the "Use as lockscreen"-feature. Please let me know if it works better than before - if it doesn't, I can easily switch back to the "old" custom timeout-implementation
- (Short) breathing animation once the notification screen starts up
- Dismissing a notification by swiping left or right should now turn off the screen for everyone, even if you're using "None" or "Slide" as your system lockscreen.
- New high-quality icons for popular notification types (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, WhatsApp)
- New ActionBar-menu-options for the Settings-screen (e.g. view FAQs, email me (with a log-file attached), uninstall the app (the app needs to be deactivated from the "Device Administrator" system settings menu before it can be uninstalled, which is why I included a "one-step-uninstall"-feature in the menu))
- Breathing feature (turns screen on and off at pre-defined intervals until you acknowledge the new notification)
- "Use as a lockscreen"-feature (Shows the notification screen every time you unlock your device, even if there are no new notifications)
- Some minor bugfixes (e.g. screen no longer stays on indefinitely if you've got the "custom brightness" feature enabled)
- Rebranding ("DynamicNotifications")
Update (v1.7): Changelog:
- Fixed the "night mode"-feature (wasn't working for some users)
- Improved stability of the custom timeout-feature (it should now work regardless of which other options (such as the Lockscreen-mode or the Auto-wake feature) you've enabled)
- "Double" notifications should now be fixed, please let me know if you're still receiving them
- The app should now work side-by-side with other apps that use the Accessibility-service on pre-4.3 devices, such as "Missed It!"
Update (v1.8beta): Changelog:
- "Auto-dismiss": If you remove a new notification via another device (e.g. read a new Gmail-message in your browser), the DynamicNotifications-screen will automatically close (4.3-only)
- "Multiple notifications"-option for pre-4.3 devices (shows the 3 latest notifications below the main icon. Since the Android system doesn't tell apps when notifications are dismissed on <4.3, it will *always* show the latest 3 notifications, even if you've already dismissed them from the status bar)
- Fixed a bug where the screen would turn off after swiping up
- Fixed crashes due to bad proximity sensor readings on some devices
Update (v1.9): Changelog:
- Appearance customization options (change background/foreground color, use custom background image, show date, change notification icon border style) [requires "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"-permission to save the custom background image]
- Fixed a bug where the notification screen would be displayed even when the screen was on (requires "GET_TASKS"-permission)
- Customizable swipe-actions (open notification, unlock, launch camera, launch custom app, switch screen off, screen off + dismiss notification [Android 4.3-only], screen off + dismiss all notifications [Android 4.3-only])
Update (v2.0): Changelog:
- Ability to show DashClock extensions on the notifications screen [4.2+ only]
- Ability to deal with multiple notifications - "flick" any notification from the bottom row towards the center to make it the current "main" notification
- Increased the consistency of the breathing-feature
- Option to "lock" the notifications screen orientation to either portrait or landscape
- Double-tap anywhere on the notifications screen to turn the screen off/dismiss notification/dismiss all (deactivated by default, can be configured by double-tapping anywhere on the "Edit swipe actions"-screen)
- Preview for text messages should now work (for the stock Android messaging app)
- Homescreen shortcuts to toggle notifications and lockscreen-mode on/off (can be used by "Locale" to remotely activate/deactivate the notifications)
- "Holo"-blue as the new default foreground color
- Many app translations thanks to: Polish: Pan Szym, PiterDemon; Slovak: ja_som; Spanish: Rubén Navarro, Miguel Cruz, Cedric, Daniel Domínguez; Russian: Mavryck, Gidroparik, Виктор; German: user_99; Chinese (simplified): Peng Jone, iKira, zwei; Persian: Amirhossein
Update (v2.1): Changelog:
- Contact pictures for SMS, Gmail, etc.
- Music controls (displays track title/artist and album art in the "details" view at the top [4.3+ only])
- Small number-badge indicating the number of missed events
- "Breathe out"-animation
- Revamped "Advanced appearance options"-screen (live preview of all changes)
- Ability to block the "Home"-button
- New translations (Italian, Greek, Hungarian, Portuguese, Czech, and Dutch; Thanks, Steven, Greg, Gábor, PMoto, Edbertin, Michal, Pavel and René!)
Update (v2.2): Changelog:
- Minor bugfixes
Update (v2.3): Changelog:
- Ability to customize the location of the clock
- Optional lockscreen security (Pattern or PIN lock) integrated within the app's lockscreen
- Ability to customize the size of the main notification icon
- Improved the "breathe out" animation
- [Android 4.4] The softkeys (back, home, recents) are now hidden by default using the new "immersive mode"
- Added a "Dismiss (only)" swipe action option (i.e. don't turn off screen)
- New Korean and Japanese translations (Thanks, MJ and Ikuo Kamei!)
Update (v2.4): Changelog:
- "Syncing" of notifications across devices (if you dismiss a notification on your PC, it is also dismissed from DynamicNotifications) [Android 4.3+ only]
- Ability to show the statusbar on the lockscreen
- Added a "stealth mode" for the pattern lockscreen
- Ability to show second "Unlock"-swipe action instead of empty "Open Notification"-action when no new notifications are present
- Ability to directly show the secure lock if no notifications are present on the lockscreen
Update (v2.5beta4): Changelog:
- Daydream-feature (with separate breathing/timeout settings)
- New KitKat-style look for the main settings menu

Hmm, that's weird, thanks for letting me know! Have you tried the Google Play-version?
I've just downloaded the apk from my own post and installed it on my device (Galaxy Nexus running stock 4.3) and it works fine...strange!
I've re-uploaded the apk here
It works on my Galaxy S4, running CM10.2.
However, I'm unsure of this behaviour:
When the phone's screen is off and facing up (the ceiling), upon receiving notification, ActiveNotifications would kick in.
However, when the phone's screen is off and flipped down (screen is facing my desk), upon receiving notification, and I immediately flip the phone up, all I see is just the phone's screen turning on, displaying the native Android lockscreen. Is this as intended?
Seems to be some compatibility issues showing same error

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely consider making it work on Android <4.3, I'll have a look at how much extra work would be needed.
I would love this so much to work on older versions. This looks great!

Sorry about that, I'll investigate this!
Awsome! Thanks for develop such useful app!!. I can't try it because I have 4.1.2, but I'm happy to hear about this development.
I would love if you can make compatible with older versions.
Thanks again!!
Argh I just clicked play store link straight away and was faced with disappointment because it's not available on 4.1.1 anyway nice app

Y have tested on Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus and sometime GNex is not sinchronising properly gmail. Moreover, when phone is face down or in my pocket, screen turns on as always, when it supposed to not light up when is in the pocket. Maybe proximity sensor is not working well with this app.
Is it going to make possible phone turns on the screen just when you hold it from the tablet? It would be awesoma, like in Moto x
Thanks for your work man
I'm using it on unofficial cm 10.2 on my gs3 and I'm getting system ui notifications. It looks like GPS polling. Is there a way to disable this without turning GPS completely off?
