Hi All,
I've developed an app called Invisible Lock which is a transparent lock screen through which we can see the screen behind the lock screen.
This is my second android application after Simple Gestures.
This is an invisible lock where in it will block access to the screen but will show the screen behind this lock. We can see everything on screen clearly but we cannot access anything until the pre-configured swipe gesture is drawn. We can select any swipe gesture from available gestures from the app settings page. Currently this app supports 4 gestures to unlock as explained below:
- Swipe Right : Swipe from left side to right side horizontally with any finger on lock screen
- Swipe Left : Swipe from right side to left side horizontally with any finger on lock screen
- Swipe Up : Swipe from down side to up side vertically with any finger on lock screen
- Swipe Down : Swipe from up side to down side vertically with any finger on lock screen
This app will lock the screen 5 seconds after the screen turns off. This will allow you to use touch to wake feature.
It will automatically unlock while incoming call.
Note:
1) Please disable default system lock or any other lock app in order for this Invisible Lock to function properly.
2) Though this app blocks access to the screen, we can still access Notification Bar and hardware buttons (if any) on the device. I am working on this to block them and will try to include in the next version.
I've uploaded it on to play store. Checkout the below link and provide your feedback:

Invisible Lock Pro
---------------------------
I have published pro version of this app to Play Store. It should be up in couple of hours. The pro version features:
1) Additional gesture (press & hold) has been added for security. Now you need to press & hold on the lock screen after doing the selected gesture to unlock.
2) Enable Sound on Unlock. This can be configured from the settings page. Currently the notification sound will be played when screen is unlocked.
3) Tutorial included on how to use this unlock feature.
Note: Please try my Invisible Lock application before purchasing the Pro version. If it is compatible, then buy this app.
Additional Gestures will be added in next version.
Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ramesh.security.pro
The Invisible Lock app has been tested on the below mentioned devices:
Samsung Galaxy S3 (International version)
LG Nexus 4
Samsung Galaxy Nexus S
Samsung Galaxy Y
Amazon Kindle Fire (First Generation)

Brilliant
Works well on my Note 2.
I have been looking for exactly this since my first android yrs ago.
It evens shows updates and animations that are happening on the home screen.
Better than the crippled shrunken widget on 4.2-4.3, things like widget locker etc.
Thanks
Interesting, I will have to try this. Dashclock to the homescreen!
cool it's not working even by disabling everything
This is awesome!.
I would love if in a future you could implement pattern lock. I Like using a hidden pattern lock so people don´t even try to solve it, this would make it just perfect
Awesome!
Working quite well on the N5.
Hey sivva, getting forced close on 4.3! I am on PA rom!

Any chance you could make it a 2 finger motion?
I ask because it would be more difficult for a random person to simply unlock my phone with a random touch / swipe.
Guys,
I am sorry that I forgot to inform you all that I've set 5 seconds delay before the lock screen applies on the screen. It will lock 5 seconds after the screen turns off. The reason is that most of the people I know are using touch to wake (from googy's kernel) feature. You won't get annoyed by the lock screen if you are using touch to wake.
I have also updated the tested devices list in the second post.

Please make sure you wait for 5 seconds after the screen turns off. If it still doesn't work, please reboot the device. Let me know your device model if it still doesn't work.
This is an unofficial directory for issues/features that we want to see fixed/added via ROMS or software updates. Simply post a request, and if it is appropriate and acceptable it will be added into the directory. This post serves as a place where DEVS can find an issue or feature and can... well... fix it! I plan for most of these to be at least partially exclusive to sense 6 and or the Verizon HTC m8. I will update the directory nightly
GUIDELINES*The issue must be something that more than one person can relate to.
*The issue cannot pertain to another app. I.E. if an app is crashing too much.
*K.I.S.S Keep it simple stupid.
*Look before you post! I will update the directory and see if it's there. This will save us both some time
*Lastly off-topic posts or typo requests won't bother me the slightest, but just know your boundaries
*Please refrain from things that are basic in custom ROMS . These include but are not limited to navigation bar tweaks, and system ui visual changes
If you see a user post an issue that you know a fix for, give him a hand
DIRECTORY
Solutions
Please remember general UI tweaks can easily be edited with many xposed modules or ROM baked controls
✓ Allow the wake gestures to be used when the device is laying down
Calibrate G sensor poorly intentionally.
✓ Remove unnecessary wifi notifications "wifi network available"
Option in WiFi settings and flashable zip.
✓ Native wifi tethering
Custom ROMS.
✓ Full control over notification bar icons. Nfc, boom sound, etc.
Gravity box, sense 6 toolbox, or viper control.
1/2 Separate lockscreen shortcuts and dock shortcuts
Lock screen shortcuts are based on the sense launcher dock. Using a different launcher allows control between the two.
✓ Custom status bar toggles
Now in stock ROM as well as most custom roms.
*In the quick toggles tiles, make the brightness toggle open a traditional slider
*Remove that friggin 4gLTE icon when wifi is on
*Custom actions for motion launch gestures
*Don't auto wake screen on call end
*Quick toggle/widget for toggling motion launch gestures
*Email widget for stock sense email app
*Charging images for navigation bar
*Modded launcher with customizations such as grid size
*Enable individual motion launch gestures
*More than 10 alarms
*Customization over dot case notifications (may take some adv coding skillz)
*App ops standardized
*Remove 10 incorrect password attempt data wipe.
*More options for auto device sleep/lock
*More sense features ported or modified for aosp use. (This one is a toughie)

This is getting annoying for me. The double tap to wake and the slide up to unlock is an amazing feature. But it's almost worthless if we can't use it when the phone is laying down. My phone is on my desk at work most of the day, and it would be great if I could just double tap to see what notification just came in.
I think it has to do with the g-sensor. When I first turned the phone on, the pop up menu said that the unlock gestures only work when the screen is being held in portrait mode. So I'm thinking that when it's laying down, the phone doesn't know exactly what orientation it should be in. I've found that even holding the phone upright just a touch allows the gestures to work fine.
Changing shortcuts of the gestures while the screen is off? For instance, swipe left while screen is off launches 'X' app...
Unlocked wireless tether. Get rid of the various wifi notifications. LED torch quick toggle.

When on a call, press power button to turn screen off, when call ends the screen turns back on by itself. Why? Idk but very annoying, only HTC phones do this!
If someone can tweak it to where when in a call the user manually presses the power button to turn screen off, the screen stays off even when the caller or whoever hangs up.
A feature that would be great for me is a quick toggle/widget to toggle the motion launch gestures. I have to go through all the settings menus every time I want to toggle it (which is only when I'm at work). When at work, my phone stays in my pocket, and I am moving around a lot, so sometimes my thigh will unlock the phone and open apps, along with draining my battery.
Changing images for navigation bar.
Sent from my HTC One M8!
U WOT M8?
Just pointing out a few things:
1. As far as the WiFi notification, you can get rid of this by going to Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced, and de-selecting the "Notify me" option. This is what I did on my previous phone (M7) and my M8, and since de-selecting that box, I've never seen the WiFi notification pop up.
2. The Wake Gestures actually can be used when the phone is laying down. This also annoyed me to no end initially, until I saw someone post that you can just move your phone slightly to make the wake gestures work. I'm assuming this works because it trips the internal movement sensor, which then makes the phone think that it's been picked up. The movement doesn't even have to be vertical; I just slightly move my phone to the side a bit, and it's enough to make the wake gestures work for me.
Email Widget for the native Sense email app...i cannot BELIEVE this was left out by HTC/VZW/whoever...WTF!
I'd like to be able to adjust the grid size of the home screens, 4 across is too spaced out, I like it lining up with 4 icons and app drawer icon at the bottom.
Also, as mentioned in another post, I'd like to be able to customize the keys next to the home key, i.e. move the back key to the right and replace the multitask key with the menu key etc.
ability to hide the standard soft buttons and replace them with LMT style popup buttons.
Ability to toggle individual gestures on and off. I'd like to have double tap to wake, but turn off swipe to wake. I end up waking the device with a swype simply by pulling it out of my pocket which I don't want.
Toggle automatic factory reset on 10 bad unlock attempts on and off or set the number of failed attempts to an arbitrary number.
Able to remove ANY of the always on notificatios. Alarm, keyboard, hearing aid boost, nfc, etc

I love the "knock on" feature, tho I agree, it would be very nice if it worked even when the phone is laying flat. But why is there no "knock off"? Don't they kinda go hand in hand?
Ability to have more than 10 alarms

Slide finger across statusbar to control brightness like Gravitybox (enabling in Gravitybox does not work on our devices).
Ability to display notifications from more than the stock HTC apps when using the Dot Matrix case.

I have found that tapping the screen 3 times (instead of 2) will usually wake the screen while it is laying on a desk. Just use a little bit of force on the first tap... It seems like an accelerometer needs to detect motion before the screen digitizer wakes up.
This would still be a nice feature request, though I have a feeling it won't be possible without having a significant effect on battery life.

Three taps with the phone laying flat has been working for me as well.

Hopefully Essential takes some user feedback as far as features we would like to see going forward. If you post please try to keep it to reasonable features that mostly stock devices have or non os software tweaks.
The two big ones for me are
1. Night mode
2. Fingerprint shortcuts, primarily for notifications

+1
Damn just checked and realized no night mode since got the phone just today.
+1 on night mode, that thing is must have at system level. Don't want to go back to using apps like twilight etc
My needs are simple. Would like the option to rearrange navigation buttons, battery percentage, and finger print gestures.

Has anyone tried enabling night mode by enabling the UI tuner?. night mode is built into nougat but on some phones still has to be turned on. I don't have the phone yet to do it. Pull down the notification shade twice and then long press the settings cog icon. A wrench will show up next to the icon indicating that UI tuner has been enabled. Next install "night mode enabler" from the play store.
Unlocked bootloader, TWRP and root. Hopefully. ? - Not sure any devs are on board with this device.
I haven't received the phone yet, but does it support gestures while the screen is off? Such as double tap to wake, swipe up to unlock, etc.
Night mode is nice. I also like to separate ring volume from notification volume. I know that's not native to Android, but a simple mod makes all the difference for me.

Night mode for sure. Second would be system level to force apps to use the full screen, like what Samsung has for the s8+

Yep.
I'm waiting for TWRP.
For root, I plan to use Magisk to root and hide BL status. Since it's mostly ASOP, it should work like the Nexus 6P I have.
First off +1 to both, I really don't want to use the app that allows finger gestures, was a little sad to see it not available in stock Android since I got used to using it on the Pixel XL.

Just tried it and it isn't there sadly. Just like the fingerprint gestures I don't want to have to add it through an app.
On the flip side I got exactly what I deserved/wanted. Nothing but pure Android (minus the Essential Cam app and the Essential option in the settings) so that was good but in a way I want to kick myself because I forgot that these two features were add ons to the skin for the Pixel devices. Whatever the case maybe, I'll get over it lol.

Hopefully those features, switching navigation buttons and more will come to the table once we get the bootloader unlocked and the possibility of custom ROM's/mods. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Use this to change nav bar.
For battery percentage just enable the UI tuner
1. Changing audio track with volume buttons when screen is off.
2. Resizing nav bar height
3. Double tap to wake
I second the fingerprint gestures and double tap to wake wholeheartedly.
Would also love to see these:
1. Ability to use Light Flow or another LED manager to customize notification LEDs. This is my favorite thing about Android phones and Essential's stock LED patterns aren't cutting it for me. Somehow they managed to make it impossible for the LED to flash more than once every 5 seconds.
2. Ability to use 360 camera attachment as a fisheye lens. Currently the camera stitches two 210 images together to form a 360 photo. I want to be able to choose just one lens to capture an image.

The battery percentage option is in the system ui tuner I believe. Pull down the notification shade and long press on the settings icon then go into settings and look for it.
ability to change navbar height. it's too big uses unnecessary screen estate
There are several Improvements I would like to see in the phones software. More so just general optimization. However I think that most of these answers of what features are coming will be answered in Thursday's Q&A session with Andy Rubin on Reddit. So I guess we should wait until then to see where Essential and the ph1 is headed.
Pixel Pulse can turn your Ambient Display into a Pulsing display that activates when you have notifications available.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
The free option uses a branded icon and repeats the title and content of your actual notifications. The paid version adds the ability to use the default apps icon and colors, override colors, and have swipe and tap actions.
You can also replace the double tap to wake with the scrolling pulse, which is my favorite feature. Just be sure to turn off Google's double tap to wake.
For it to work you need the following settings:
Notification content shown on the lock screen
Always on display: OFF
Wake on new notifications: ON
Works on Samsung SM-J500FN running [OFFICIAL][ROM]Bootlegers ROM Pie for Galaxy J5 [SM-J500H/F/FN/G/M/Y]
If I power on the phone and leave it, then the app does not work, but it does work if I unlock the screen once after power on.
Thank you for this app, it really makes a difference to phones without notification leds

Android doesn't start any apps until its first unlocked after a restart. Not even third party messaging apps.
Original Thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/themes/app-amoled-notification-light-t3943715
So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own.
As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.
Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.
To use it:
Install App.
Disable Ambient Display and any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).
Note: 1. On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color
2. Don't enable the LED for the "Phone App" as it will interfere when an incoming call is coming! Will fix this in next build
Thats it.
Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen.
Also on pressing power button once the LED stops and on pressing it again it will bring you to lock screen.
App now available on Play Store, please rate and share if you liked the app.

If the app is not working check whether the Notification Service is running under Developer Option > Running Services, this service is required for the app to work as intended.
If it is not running after various troubleshoot measures, maybe send the logs.
Changelog:
Implemented burn in protection
Fixed proximity sensor bug
Switch enables LED with default color
Added search functionality
Now App list is sorted in alphabetical order
Fixed power button
Added settings for changing time interval and stop timer
Major bug fixes
Added System Apps
Added a switch to turn on/off notification LED
Give your feedback!!
It would be cooller if it would use the edge lighting.
Great app, love the simplicity.
Is there any way to show the notification first (like stock configuration) and then show the flashing "LED" after a few seconds?
Nice app. Been using since release when I saw it on the OnePlus 6t forum. Only issue is when you dismiss the notification (double tap) , screen goes into full brightness first before dimming down. At night, it's hard on the eyes. Hope you can fix it (add auto brightness support so it follows the screens brightness after unlock). Cheers mate and keep up the good work.
Good to see your thread here for OnePlus 7 Pro! Cheers
working thx ?
cut u get it to work wiht eged light??
Nice! It working good!
"Is there any way to show the notification first (like stock configuration) and then show the flashing "LED" after a few seconds?"..also my question..
Sometimes the LED flashes even if there is no notification
This is AWESOME!!! Could you make it so that
1: It doesn't flash the white bar across the bottom first
2: not go full brightness?
Thanks
This is an awesome app. Would be amazing if you can use it with the edge lighting.
Brilliant, thank you. Gome through countless apks trying to get a notification led. Thanks
Oh, one more thing, would it be possible to add an on/off switch so you can easily turn it off if you don't want to use it?

i'm talking about the app ALWAYS ON EDGE in the play store, which is the app i recommended because the poster i quoted asked for that function. so yes, the app always on edge in the play store will do what you want as well. it has a ton of options in the settings.
i also used this one notifybuddy
but went back to picel pulse untill this one support missed call's
pixel pulse works with orginal notification system
