Hey Guys,
Its a great application landing to Galaxy S4
Most people make do with a PIN or pattern lock to secure their Android devices. If you need something a little stronger (or just want to feel like Ethan Hunt) EyeVerify has just released the beta version of an app that uses honest-to-goodness eye scans. Eyeprint takes a photo of your face, then matches the pattern of blood vessels on your eyeballs to a previous photo to access locked apps.

Technically, Eyeprint isn't using the classic retina scan to grant access - that would require a small amount of infrared light to illuminate the membrane at the back of the eye. It uses the same principle of amazingly unique vein patterns, but it picks them up from the corners of your eyes. Users need a front-facing camera of at lest 2 megapixels. To create the baseline, you'll have to follow the instructions while using the rear camera, looking to the far left and right to let the camera pick up the veins on your eyes. After that, a quick scan of your eyes looking left and right from the front-facing cam should do the trick.
EyeVerify hopes to expand its services to other developers on Android and iOS through an SDK. At present, the app can only lock other apps - you can't actually unlock your phone with an eye scan. (There's a quick "lock all" option for the truly paranoid.) Early feedback from the Play Store indicates that it's very efficacious, so hopefully more devices will be enables as the beta program continues. The Eyeprint App Lock Beta is free to try for 30 days.

Thanks to AP for the same.
just tried it yesterday , the concept is cool but too much wakelock in its current state . uninstalled it after few hours of usage since it topped wakelock detector. waiting for future updates, its having some great potential

I was really surprised tonight to learn that my gtablet does not have an orientation sensor ... it relies soley on an accelerometer apparently for orientation changes.
I've enclosed a quick and dirty test apk that queries the device for a list of all of its sensors if others are interested in this... and of course the off chance my gtablet is the exception and is missing sensors.
The screen print below was generated under VEGAn 5.1 but I'm pretty sure I'll get the same results in all the ROMs available.

Found a great write-up (it's actually a tegra based document) describing orientation, sensors, and the distinction between phones and tablets axis wise.
Everyone complains about games not working right with the sensors on our tabs... well apparently the problem is inherent and by design.
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/tegra/docs/tegra_android_accelerometer_v5f.pdf
Damn, every spec list I've looked at said this thing has a g-sensor. False advertisement?
Quite the opposite actually. I believe we are caught up in emerging standards ithin the tablet space.
The reality is that as developers we've been coding our apps for phones assuming that the specifications we were coding to would carry forward to the tablet and that is simply incorrect.
Apps that do not take rotation into account while working with the accelerometer are going to have problems.
A lot of devices componsate for this by exposing a "normalized" faux orientation sensor. Those that have relied on this sensor in the past (self included) need to take into consideration that it may not always exist and access the accelerometer directly calculating worldview ourselves.
I was dissapointed... hell even nvidea recommends going native for some of the work... It still doesn't feel right but thats the way it is for now.
My app, AR.Pro, and numerous others, are proof you can have code coexist between the phone and tablet platforms and the secret is getRotation().
Any ROM that tries to address this is merely implementing a hack, which could potentially break those apps "coded to spec".

Origin story:
When I tried out Aviate I really liked the picture at the start but I wanted it to change once in a while.
So I decided to make a widget that does just that.
Show a nice, 'inspirational' photo and change it every day or so.
It is fully scale-able so it is compatible with launchers such as SF launcher or Aviate which allocate a certain number of pixels for it, but it also works great with launchers like Apex or Nova which let you resize widgets.
I'm not good at photography, so I'm not the one picking out the photo's.
Currently, the photo's come from this community: http://www.flickr.com/groups/[email protected]
Obviously, only ones with licenses that allow it are used.
If you'd like, you can check out the GPLv2 source on GitHub: https://github.com/timvdalen/gizmooi
Any feedback is appreciated.
awesome widget but I don't get the white borders on my widget?

Thanks, glad you like it.
The border only appears on the lock screen variant since some launchers already provide a border.
I'll see if I can detect borders and add them if needed.
I just released a new version of Gizmooi to the Play Store, with a few important goodies:
[1.3] All CC licenses are now supported, not just CC BY-2.0! This means there are 6x as much photo's available now and we're a step closer to a new photo each day.
[1.2.1] Fixed a bug that caused old attribution data to show up.
[1.2] Incremental back-off if your phone's memory is full. This is currently implemented in quite a hacky way, but more phones should be supported now.
If you still experience a slow-down, please let me know here: https://github.com/timvdalen/gizmooi/issues/2
The most important thing to include in the report is whether or not the default photo (the one of the lake) is eventually replaced.
If it isn't, the photo download isn't working for you for some reason.
Once again, feedback is welcome!

Just wrote an Android Wear app to remote control *and view* your cell phone camera live. I have a series of other hacks I plan to do in the near future but here's a start. Open source too so hope people can help contribute and make it better! Welcome feedback, pull requests, suggestions.

Now you can spy on people and take photos of them without them knowing it xD
Very cool app. Works well. Thanks for this!!
Sent from my HTC One M8
This is brilliant!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!
Well done!
Totally awesome app!
I've made a bunch of updates to Wear Camera Remote since the first release now. I've added basic support for turning the flash on/off and switching between front/rear camera. But I'm doing it differently than all those paid apps (e.g. Pixtocam) in that I want the UI to blend in well with Google's UI. Also small buttons on a smartwatch is awful to use.
More features to come in the future when I get time, stay tuned. Or if someone wants to help extend this vision, it *is* an open source GPL project.

Tried this, awesome!! thanks
Awsome app !
Can you consider for the next version to be able to disable the screen on the phone ?
It's this for nexus devices only or all phones? It doesn't seem to work on my LG G3.

Not working on my HTC One either. The only app that's given me phone->watch video is LookBehind but it cost like $2. In any event, people are blown away by this James Bond-esque feature

Easily use your FlashLight with just a shake of your phone. Now you can have an easy access to a useful utility of your device!
New on this version!
The App detect when is in a pocket so you dont need to bother when you go for a run! It also has a sensibility configuration to adjust it to the user strength and preference.
Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kalantos.shakelight
After the android 8, google forces to show a notification for foreground services, but don't worry the notification can be hidden.
Steps:
Disable app notification (https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/stop-annoying-notifications-android/).
Disable foreground service notification (https://9to5google.com/2017/10/26/h...eo-using-battery-notification-android-basics/).
will try, thanks
I used to have a motorola X pure with this feature, but now is dead and I owned a xiami. One of the things I miss the most is the shaking gestures .
I download this app and works just the same as the one of motorola. The notification is quite anoying but after the steps you put it never show up again. Great Job
New version 1.2.2!
Proximity sensor, for avoiding mistaken shakes while walking.
Intensity of the shake configurable by user.
New version 1.2.3!
Improvements to sensibility configuration.
Shake gesture is now supported in ladscape mode.
If you have features you think that would help thus app growing tell me and I will work on them
We are about to launch a new version we need some people to join our test community if you want to help us send a mail to [email protected]
Wanna join the testing community! Really like the app!
I have some suggestions I sent you by email!
But I love the app, works perfect!
double shake option would also be great. Harder to trigger by mistake and easier when intended. Works good also on 10.

With double shake would be perfect.
I was holding off on updating, after getting the Android 11 notification a few days ago in the UK, as I couldn't see much user feedback on One Hyper upgraded to Android 11. But I updated it today and while it seems to be working OK (with seemingly no loss in general performance), I did immediately notice a bug/feature on wallpapers.
It doesn't matter which app you use to apply a wallpaper, the system seems to take over and crop the image. When you pull down the notifications bar it zooms back out to the original 1:1 wallpaper.

Forgive the quality of the above gif, I didn't want to overload the thread with a massive image. But you get the idea.
I did a Google search and it seems to be a common issue, at least on some Android 11 devices, I saw some archived reddit threads from 2020. It's a shame but thankfully there is a workaround (if a little clunky). Apparently live wallpapers escape this weird bug/feature, so with an app like KLWP you can turn a wallpaper (like some of the 1080x2340 formatted wallpapers I made) into a live wallpaper. Again it works but for such a simple thing, it's a shame you have to jump through hoops that weren't there in Android 10.
Eh, why do they need to do these things. I'm already really annoyed that the lockscreen overlays a color tone over the image, dampening all cool vibrant colors and contrast. When i now choose a lockscreen wallpaper i have to overdrive the colors and contrast before applying it to counter the tone.
is this a bug? I thought it was some new effect of the system, if you repair it well, when you are using the Motorola launcher and make the gesture to open the app drawer, the same thing happens.
Whether it's simply an annoying new feature or a bug, either way it would be nice if it was an option.
Again I'm able to use the KLWP app to get around it, but its a lot of extra hoops for such a simple feature (and not a particularly intuitive app to use).
