[2.3+]NightLamp: Sleep better at night! - Android Apps and Games

NightLamp turns your phone into an intelligent night light and clock, allowing you to sleep with ease.
If you need a little bit of light before going to bed, this app is perfect for you! It will automatically fade to black after at a preset time. Woke up during the night? Simply tap the screen or activate one of the sensors to turn the light back on again.
If you need a brighter light to move around the house, just flip the phone over and the flashlight will turn on! Woohoo!
You can control the light using various sensors on the phone:
-Flip the phone over to activate the camera flashlight
-Shake the phone to toggle the screen
-The phone responds to the ambient light, turning on and off as needed
-Voice recognition to turn the light on/off using hotwords
Note: Voice recognition is very beta right now.

***Alpha software, may blow up.***
The Android API that involves camera and sensors is a pain to support on all devices, because there is no unified way to do something like turning on the flashlight. So it would have to be supported for each phone model, which takes some time, so be patient as I work the kinks out.
Please do not give negative reviews due to crashes, because this app still needs testing to support a lot of devices...
If you do use the app, please do shoot me an email about your experience with it if possible
Tested to work on Galaxy Nexus so far.

Some word on power consumption please....

Since it puts the screen at full brightness for a while, I highly recommend hooking the phone to a power source. If you have an AMOLED screen, the power drain from the app while the screen is dim would be small, but it would still drain the battery faster than if the phone is sleeping.

as I tap on Start, it shows a grey clock on white background but I hear a continuous BEEP once every second almost. Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 latest stock firmware ITV
that's the sound the voice recognition beeps to tell you it's listening.
disabling the voice recognition, the sound goes away as well.
You should also enable the android power saving so to reduce cpu and network usage like it almost does in standby.
Nice little app.

Google borked the speech recognizer code in recent versions (since Android 4.1) with a forced beep sound, I tried to mute it but it doesn't seem to work uniformly across devices, so I will have to change the speech recognition engine in the future.
I will look into power saving, thanks for letting me know!

You're welcome!

very nice UI =)

Added a new version where you can swipe the screen to adjust brightness of the front light. Additionally, speech recognition is no longer enabled by default due to bugs.

Cool app. I ended up using it for reading so I don't have to turn a light on but if I fall asleep then it'll fade down and all is well.
Works well on an Asus TF101 running 4.2.2 (katkiss v224 based on eos4). I can confirm the continuous beep bug too with the volume to silent fix.
One thing that would be awesome down the road would be to have a continuous fade of the display brightness over the course of the time you set. For example say you set the fade for 10 minutes, three minutes in it'll have reduced to 70%. Don't know if it's doable but it's just an idea.

i don't know, what do you mean by effect on the led?
I got my tab yesterday, could not try it out very long, but i don't think that there are any effects. neither on the battery as on the led itself...
1st congratiolation about the new device
what i mean the app will have sideeffect on battery life + button life in future ( maybe wont work after a while )

thx
the button itself with the touch function has nothing to do with the backlight... so the button will work anyway.
about the battery life, well i think the LED will take less than 1% of the hole akku.... so i guess nothing to worry about...
i hope i can post the app today... there are still some bugs but i am working on it.
thank you man and good luck

FIXED
Now it is almost working here
The only bug I can see now with sms is it blinks irregulary after the screen goes black.
Here, it stops blinking when the screen is turned off (and resumes after turning the screen again on) and the backlight of the softkeys keeps off for afterwards some time (30 secs or so) although it should turn on as the Tab is used.
Beside, the backlight is NOT activated when the screen is turned off (although I would see there a major use case as that would be the reminder to have a look at what was received).
Nice work! Could you please add the ability to control the buttons backlight timeout?
Or at least let me know what has to be edited to change the timer?

[APP][2.3+] Magic Unlock

Hello,
I am the developer behind Magic Unlock
First of all, this app allows you to unlock your phone (after the screen is on) using a hover gesture.
Usage tips
- Lockscreen security needs to be off
- Lockscreen needs to be active
- Works only after the screen is on
- 'On' button means that the app is working
Tehnical data
- Uses proximity sensor for hover detection
- Android service with listening on ACTION_SCREEN_ON/OFF intents
- Proximity sensor reading only when screen is on (battery saving)
- And an adaptive service
Adaptive service settings
- Low priority - app running in background (might be laggy on some devices)
- Medium priority (adaptive) - running in background when enough memory is available / running in foreground (visible notification) when low memory is detected - [recommended setting]
- High priority - always run in foreground (visible notification) - [best responsiveness]

It works...feeling like a magician, but what about battery life?
This app is great. Is there a possibilty to use the air gesture sensor?

The app it's on a lightweight long running service that stays in background when in medium or low priority mode with no sensor listening
so the battery it's not threatened
Does the proximity sensor also recognize different proximity levels???? i ask that, so that i can think of other applications of this feature

Unfortunately no, only 2 boolean values 0/1 or 0/5, but you could think about apps using proximity in combination with light sensor that have many levels

i don't think that is possible, couldn't find any android api for the air gesture sensor
My guess is that they are using a device specific implementation that combines the light/camera/proximity sensors
Working great on Nexus 4, only thing as extra would be making it work together with light sensor, but light change too much based on enviroments
Nice
Works great on E4GT..Very responsive.Low on Ram. And combined with gravity screen off, its great.
Hope its not laggy
Sent from my GT-I8160 using xda app-developers app
Testing on XPeria Z, installation was easy. Will see how it goes
Thanks!
Works perfectly on my Galaxy SII! (SGH-T989)
Will continue to use this for a week and see how it goes. Hopefully, it doesn't take strain the battery.
Ok so i'ts not working for me HTC One. Security and lockscreen are off. but phone goes straight to home screen on power button press.
Also are you thinking of making this work when the screen is off to turn it on? i.e. you could use accelerometer to test when the phone is taken out of the pocket, and at that stage turn the proximity sensor on and wait for hand hover? Seems simple in theory lol
EDIT: Ok Ok Ok last edit, so it works now but its impractical if you need security as someone can just unlock your phone normally (in my case pulling the lock sprite up) without knowing about the magic unlock functionality, on top of that its faster to unlock normally :/ Others seem to find it good though so I guess I'm a one off

[For Everyone] [Ideas] games and apps

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/71CymwAbA7A/
I was reading the article. And he said tamagochi. Now. When I was a kid this was awesome. But as a phone app. It kinda sucks.... But a watch is totally the right form factor. I would totally use it. Maybe something like digimon where they battle... Yeah super wrist watch fun.
What other cool things would you guys want to see? There are so many cool things these watches could do, but I haven't seen many people talking about any cool ideas. Actually, info has been only trickling.
What is a digimon?

I'd like to see an app that automatically controls the the brightness of my watch, depending on what my phone's auto brightness setting is.
Since both these devices (LG and Samsung) don't have an ambient light sensor, a simple app like that would be genius. The other, simpler option, is to have an Android Wear app, that from 8am-8pm, full brightness, 8pm-8am (or whatever time windows you choose), lowest brightness. Simple workaround hack/app until ambient light sensors are built in.
Thoughts?

I'm not sure what the point would be. If you're using your watch... It's probably because your phone is in your pocket or somewhere lying idle, correct? If your phone is in your pocket, the lighting conditions would be different. Not to mention for this to work, your phone would need to leave the ambient light sensor on all the time, causing an additional unnecessary battery drain. Unless of course you're actively using your phone... But then that leads us back to... Why are you using the watch?

You still get your phone out every now and then. It's not like you don't need it anymore when you have the watch. And every time you turn the phone on it could push the brightness over to the watch. Turn down brightness when in the cinema, turn it up when it's sunny outside etc. Would be quite useful

Sure, but the brightness levels will change more often than you get your phone out. Doing this will put more of a reliance on the phone. Say you're in a theater, you pull out your phone and the watch dims. Now the movie is over and you head outside into the super bright sun. The watch will still be at minimum brightness until you either manually adjust it or pull out your phone to correct it again. That goes against everything Android Wear is aiming for.
Somewhat true... but I don't know about you, I'm pulling my phone out after a movie at least once before I head outside.. check all those messages and emails I received during that 1.5 hours because I'm really popular..
Again, the app idea is a BAND-AID.. not a true solution, as an ambient light sensor is, but a temporary solution. As @spiderflash says, I'd like it to remember the last brightness state of my phone, and push that over to watch, until a new status pushes over. It'd work fine about 80% of the time.

Better Band-Aid: Get a Moto360 (It has an ambient light sensor) Hopefully the thing doesn't cost $500 when it's finally released...they keep leaking all these goodies and it's starting to sound too good to be true. :|
I do think the tamagochi idea would be a winner...people seemed to go nuts over it when one was released for the Pebble. And we all know the Wear version could be awesome.
I'm trying to get back into development, and perhaps I'll end up making it myself...but I think Wear is a perfect platform for a nice car finder app. I already have one I love on my phone, but if I could navigate back to the stored parking space without taking my phone out? Perfect. Have it tie in to Google Maps (but start with ped navigation). Maybe incorporate a radar function, since these have pretty decent magnetometers.
I'd suggest a "share your current location with someone" app, but I just noticed Glympse has already taken care of that.
EDIT: for auto brightness, I just found this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danvelazco.wear.displaybrightness
It uses a combination of activity detection and local sun rise/set times to adjust brightness.
Good find for the brightness. O crank it during the day. And turn it down when I go to bed

Adds a configurable Energy Ring around the camera lens indicating current Battery level. Dive into the various configuration options, not only you can quickly glance and get the battery info but, Energy Ring adds an accent to your phone's camera lens.
Got a full charge? The Ring will be a 360 degree wrap around the front camera lens.
Battery depleting? So will the arc of Energy Ring.
Out of the box features:-
✓ Energy Ring can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to a donut thick ring
✓ Energy Ring puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
✓ Energy Ring's direction can be configured as clockwise/bidirectional/anti-clockwise
✓ Energy Ring can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
✓ Energy Ring can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
✓ Energy Ring could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient (pro)
✓ You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
✓ Energy Ring has a number of cool animations whenever a power source is plugged into your device
All that is cool! But what about Energy Ring consuming Battery?!
This is one of the most exciting question for me to answer. Energy Ring more than anything understands that you need to utilize your battery efficiently (after all, that's why you installed the App, right? .) Energy Ring sits on the screen silently putting almost 0% load on CPU, if battery level changes, Android wakes up Energy Ring. Once awake, Energy Ring quickly updates itself and goes back to sleep. And to be that extra efficient, the Ring goes on deep sleep when you turn off the screen, meaning it doesn't even read changes in battery level when the screen is off.
Notification Access requirement:
Energy Ring does not read any Notification whatsoever, it merely relies on it to be alive. Be assured that the App does NOT access anything.

It's a great job, thank you very much, it works very well in S10 +
Working great here will post a picture after work.
Yea it's working good on my S10+. Is it possible to make it show when you receive a notification instead?
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for this, I was really looking forward to this!
Only one suggestion, if we could adjust the left-right alignment of the circle around the camera, that would be perfect. Right now I looks good, and is very functional, but the left edge of my circle runs a little under the camera notch.
Also, is there a way to show this on the AOD?
4.5 out of 5, would donate/purchase app to support developer.
Does it drain battery like that other app that lights for notifications.

Well, it doesn't display when your screen is off, so I don't think it is going to have any MAJOR drain on it.
If any, it will be negligible. It only updates when the battery level changes.
It doesn't even show as an app when I check battery specs. I see my AOD using 1%.
OP, is there the ability to get this working with the AOD enable? I'd love to know the battery level with lockscreen/aod using the notch notification.
Also, please see if you can add the ability to reposition the notch led. The reason for that, I see that the notch ring is literally a millipixel off to the right, so the right side appears more full then the left side.
Didn't work for me initially. For some reason I had to uninstall, reboot my phone, then reinstall.
Works pretty good, but as others had stated before, it needs slight adjustment.
Another thing I would like to mention: the pixels are very noticeable, especially around the curves. Is there any way to make the ring have a better resolution?
Seems like the left side curve (toward the center of the screen) isn't as thick as the right (toward the outside edge) on my phone. Amusingly in screenshot it looks perfect so I wonder if the pixels it's trying to display in that spot don't actually exist, like it's offset slightly from the actual camera cutout?
Do we have to worry about burn in?
This is a really great app!!! Working well for me, thanks dev!!!
Should we worry about burn in?
If you leave the ring on your screen all the time, yes, you should worry about burn-in
Was excited for this, but had to get rid of it. With it running, you lose the ability to answer Yes/No when Chrome asks if the site you are on can access your location.
If the ring moves itself, i think the risk for burn-in the screen will be minimal.

Adds a configurable Energy Ring around the camera lens indicating current Battery level. Dive into the various configuration options, not only you can quickly glance and get the battery info but, Energy Ring adds an accent to your phone's camera lens.
Got a full charge? The Ring will be a 360 degree wrap around the front camera lens.
Battery depleting? So will the arc of Energy Ring.

✓ Energy Ring can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
✓ Energy Ring can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level

All that is cool! But what about Energy Ring consuming Battery?!
This is one of the most exciting question for me to answer. Energy Ring more than anything understands that you need to utilize your battery efficiently (after all, that's why you installed the App, right? .) Energy Ring sits on the screen silently putting almost 0% load on CPU, if battery level changes, Android wakes up Energy Ring. Once awake, Energy Ring quickly updates itself and goes back to sleep. And to be that extra efficient, the Ring goes on deep sleep when you turn off the screen, meaning it doesn't even read changes in battery level when the screen is off.
Accessibility Service Requirement:
Android requires Energy Ring to run as an Accessibility Service, to be able to display on Lock Screen. It does not read/monitor any data, whatsoever. This is especially useful for people who have disability to read numbers and work better with visual data.

Pls add support for the Mi 11. Thank you very much.
Nice one, thanks!
Hey jagan, fantastic work, thank you very much for making our smartphones better and nicer! Saying that, can I also point out a problem that exists with another beautiful app that you have developed?
On my Galaxy S21, I have always used your curved energy bars, which are as nice as the energy ring. Having upgraded to Android 12 this morning, I experienced massive touch responsiveness problems on the upper part of the display. Spending a full day trying to find a solution, I learned here at XDA that the problem was caused by energy bar. De-installing your app, the touch problem was immediately gone.
Thus, if you ever find a bit of time, maybe you can try to find a solution for the curved energy bar problem. I am sure this will make many fans of your software super-happy!
Update: Fixed the issue of System turning off Accessibility Service of Energy Ring frequently, it was a Android System Level bug, a workaround has been deployed successfully, let me know if Energy Ring is stable again for you! ​P.S. I am flooded with emails and messages, apologies if I couldn't reply all!​
