[APP][4.1+] Notifyer Unread Count - Android Apps and Games

Notification Access
Notifyer is now able to use Android's Notification Listener Service (Android 4.4+) to provide a more accurate unread count for the majority of apps. Choose between Notification Access or Accessibility in the count behaviour options for each widget. Accessibility may still work better for certain apps.
Beta Testing
Notification access is now available in the beta channel and provides a much enhanced experience. Any help to test out this crucial new feature will allow me to get it released and then to move on to some nice new features and improvements! Notifyer now also uses Material theming and provides better adjustment options to correctly align Notifyer widgets.
PM me if you're interested in beta testing.
Thanks

Notifyer
Hi everyone, here's my app Notifyer. Provides a notification bubble over your app icons like on iOS.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.cornwall_solutions.notifyer
Notifyer runs as a Notification Listener Service and/or as an Accessibility Service, you just replace your regular app icons with 1x1 Notifyer widgets and then choose which app to monitor. Settings are provided to adjust for alignment, size etc to blend in with your launcher.
Cheers guys, let me know what you think.
Tom

and a couple from Notifyer+ which is the paid version. Supports some themes and icon packs, has a couple of calendar icons with correct date (like iOS) and a few other extra features.

Very good app, but I've a problem: I've just installed your app from playstore, enabled accessibility service but I can't find widgets...
What can I do? (Look in my signature for my device's info)

Not sure what happened but I installed this app on my S3 and it caused bootloops.
If I tried to unlock the phone it would reboot. Instead, I had to use the pull down to unlock and remove the app. After that my phone is fine.

Oh man I havent heard of either of these problems before. But that's good I want to get everything sorted.
The widget should just show up in your widget list as normal, I've attached a pic of what it looks like on my phone but it will vary depending on your phone and launcher. If it's not there then maybe restart the phone and if that doesnt work then uninstall and reinstall.
As for the boot loop I have no idea what could be causing that. Do you have any other accessibility services enabled besides Notifyer?

I just installed ADW and it showed up ok. Is Notifyer installed on internal memory or on the SD card? You shouldn't normally get the option to install it to sd card but could be a custom rom thing?

My fault: notifyer was installed on sd card :/

Haha easily done. Hope you like the app now that it's working, let me know if you have any more questions. Just out of interest is that a feature of your custom rom that you were able to install Notifyer onto the SD card?

Yes, it's a feature.
Anyway: is there a way to make widgets a bit more small? Because they make a lot of useless space between other widgets..

They should just occupy a single square in the grid on your homescreen the same as a regular icon. If you open Notifyer and go into the settings then you can play around with the icon size, text size and a few other things to get it looking how you want it.

App title cut of with Nova
Hi,
I am using Nova Launcher on a Samsung Galaxy S2 with android 4.3 (SuperNexus 3.0). With Nova settings I changed the desktop raster to 6 rows, 5 columns.
With this settings, the name below the icon is not completely visible. Look at the screenshot to the "NOS Teletekst" app.
The first icon is a "normal" shortcut, the second a Notifyer widget with size 1X1, the third a Notifyer widget with size 1x2.
I hope you can fix it. Now I have to set the icon size to 90% to keep the app name, but then the icons are smaller than the standard icons.
Edit: adding a screenshot is not allowed. I have not posted enough until now.
Is there a moderator who can help me?

Hi Vlad, thanks for purchasing Notifyer. I have just emailed you with a solution that I think will work. Here it is for the benefit of everyone else too.
To fix this problem you need to open the Notifyer+ app, then click on your Phone widget, then click Alternate App Notifications. Here you will see a list of all the apps on your phone including some system apps. You need to look down this list until you see an item in the list where the second line of text says "com.android.phone". There will be several system apps that have this as the second line of text, it doesn't matter which one you select.
This problem came up in one of the recent Android updates and I haven't had the chance to update the app to fix it yet. But luckily the Alternate App Notifications setting can be used to work around it. I think they must have changed one of the package names relating to the contacts app which has a knock on effect with Notifyer and the way it maps missed calls to your Notifyer widgets.
Hope that helps, Cheers!

Hi Callum, good question and it's something I've looked into in quite some depth. The main problem is that the notification listener service is good for displaying individual notifications, but it doesn't particularly lend itself to counting notifications.
Think of a messaging app like Whatsapp for example. When you receive a new message the notification listener will tell you. When you receive a second message without having read the first one Whatsapp will replace its existing notification with one that tells you that you have two unread notifications but there is still only one active notification. Notifyer doesn't actually know how many messages are there, it can't read the notification and it cant see into Whatsapp to find out, but it can count each time a notification arrives. Now imagine that you go into Whatsapp and read one of your two new messages. Now Whatsapp will update its existing notification to say that you have one new message. Notifyer can see that the notification has been modified but the problem is that Notifyer doesn't know how much the count should go down by (how many messages you actually opened). At the moment it just works by resetting the count to zero whenever you close down that particular app, which is possible with accessibility services but not the notification listener (accessibility services can see other things than notifications such as what app is currently occupying the screen).
That's just one example but bear in mind that in top of that, different Android apps work in massively different ways when it comes to notifications and unfortunately the notification listener service just does provide all information needed for Notifyer to figure an accurate count.
Hope that explains it, I know it seems crazy not to be using it for an app like this and I was slightly disappointed when I realised that it wasn't going to work.
Cheers,
Tom

Random Menu Bar appeared on phone?

Hi just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this random menu bar that's appeared on my phone? I've closed all applications with es task manager and it's still there. I'm running Jellybeans on a galaxy note 2
If anyone can direct me where to get rid of it would be most appreciated.

I had a app popup as the playstore, and it was a spam type popup from an app i installed a long time ago, DOWNLOAD AIRPUSH detector also as a double check if experience any abnormal popups to your GUI . it found the app and i uninstalled it ASAP (it was a workout app)
That popup is not abnormal, it is a feature of the last update. It's called multi-card, and allows you to manage 2 or more applications simultaneously on the screen; if you drag one of the icons on the desktop it opens the corresponding application, and if you drag another will open the new application under the one that is opened before
That's amazing cheers guys! It was properly bothering me becaues it would pop up every now and then and I didn't know why!
Is it possible to add other applications to the selection to use in multi windows?

[APP][2.2+]: Sweep Texting

Sweep Texting allows users to receive, view, and send text messages, all without touching their phones. It uses the proximity sensor to implement intuitive gestures: you can sweep down your screen as though you're giving permission for the app to "come" to you and display itself. An alert dialog will then pop up with the text message and you can reply to it within the dialog itself (you don't have to switch out of the app you're currently using). Then, when you want to send the message, you simply sweep up as though you're commanding the text message to "go away" and send itself.
Since the app is completely touch-free (with the exception of typing in your actual message), it is extremely useful in hands-free situations where looking at the screen and switching through multiple screens to access messages may be a hazard (driving, for instance). The app also gives users a nice futuristic feel to their text messaging experience and allows them to customize it with multiple color schemes.
FULL LIST OF FEATURES:
--Sweep down to view a text message after it arrives.
--Sweep up to send your reply back to whoever you're texting.
--Tap on your message to go directly to your Inbox.
--Supports multiple messages from different senders.
--Supports messages longer than one text message.
--Hide a message and then sweep down to view it again at a later time.
--Choose between Holo styled (ICS only) or five different dialog colors.
--Choose between five different text balloon colors.
--Toggle to disable in Landscape mode.
--Toggle to enable/disable "Message Sent" sound.
--Enable/Disable toggle so you can turn off the app's features when you don't need it.

Unfortunately, the app is only available in the United States for now (due to export tax law issues). I'll be rolling the app out to other countries soon, though!
Really like this app though sadly it doesn't work with 3rd party messaging apps specifically sliding messaging (what I'm using) only seems to work with stock :-\
also can't reopen text a after dismissing..

Yeah, I could only find Intents that work with the stock messaging app when a text comes in. I'm actually working on porting it over with Google Voice and other 3rd party messaging apps are on my to-do list. I'll let you know when the updates become available.
And "Dismiss" is supposed to mark a message as read (so you won't be able to access it). If you want to be able to access a message after you view it, you should use the "Hide" button (that's what it's for). Glad you like the app though!

Are you using one of the custom color schemes? I don't think they have support for the "Hide" button (I couldn't get the dialog to accept more than one button for some weird reason... prolly an SDK bug). Try using the Holo theme. You can see from my screenshots that there actually is a "Hide" button for the Holo theme. Hope this helps!
Also, if you like the app, please consider sharing it with your friends/leaving a rating and review on Google Play. That'll help support future development of this app. Thanks!

I don't think activities can be shown on the lockscreen. The text message dialogs are individual activities so I don't think I can place them on the lockscreen. If I do find a way though, I'll implement that into the app. Thanks for the tip!

k cool, i would also like to pint out that if you are using a alt messaging app that has an option to wake upon receiveing a text enabled the app works fine, though if it wakes to the lockscreen and is in your pocket at the time you receive a text then this app wont respond to any sweeping after unlocking until you receive another text (unless of course the same scenario happens at which case you'd have to open the text normally) now if there is a way for it to ignore all sweeping over the sensor while at lockscreen then this would be fixed but as im not an app dev idk what you can and cant do, maybe something to look into maybe a waste of time idk, just the only thing that i can think of that would provide a nice work around

That sounds like a good plan. I'm looking into implementing that right now.
Also, the price of the app has been reduced by 25% ($1.50). It has also been released in most European Union countries, so if you weren't able to download it before because of country limitations, you can get it now (as long as you're in the EU)!

I use SMS popup for notifications yes.
Hi to all,
Maybe I misunderstand the purpose of this app or its not working as intended.
I just tried calling from one of my phones to my nexus 4 and ive entered that number that I'm calling from to the list of contacts so that it wouldn't show. However:
1. The app actually allows the incoming call to be displayed. Maybe that's intended but I was thinking it would just give you information of whatever you configured it to say. Let's say I configured it to say "app update" but instead of that I'm getting normal phonecall and number is displayed.
2. The number is actually visible in notification menu and plus it shows additional icon of "app update". However when you press on the number on the notification menu it will take you to the app.
3. Yes the call doesn't show in call log.
Apart from that UI is very well done. But I'm not sure if its intended behaviour or I'm missing something. Let's say I didn't want someone to see who's calling me and instead her a notification of whatever I assigned to it. Not sure if I expressed myself clear but it's early version so maybe more features will come.
Thanks to dev

For an incoming call, you will see caller's number, name (if it's in your phone book), picture (if it's in your phone book).
If you don't want to show name/picture, just remove it out from your phone book
If you want to show "app update", please rename that contact in your phone book to "app update".
Sorry that Shady Contacts does not modify your phone book in that way
2. The number is actually visible in notification menu and plus it shows additional icon of "app update". However when you press on the number on the notification menu it will take you to the app.

The app should have another option to either do nothing or open Shady Contacts or open whatever app. I added this in my new feature request list

[APP]QSlide on the LG G2: A quick way to access frequently-used tools

Simple access to functions that usually sit in a 'tools' folder on your home screen
LG is using the G2 as a platform*for launching many new software features, one of which is QSlide — a new way to use small utility apps quickly without pulling you away from whatever else you're doing. Not to be confused with "Slide Aside" (that's a full-app multitasking feature), QSlide is a collection of apps launched from the notification shade that pop up over your current activity so you can multitask in a different way.
Simply pull down the notification shade and tap one of the handful of available options under the quick settings: Richnote, Videos, Email, Phone, Voice Mate, File Manager, Calendar or Calculator. A small windowed app will pop up without exiting your current app, letting you quickly get a task done and go back to the first. If you need to reference something else while you have a QSlide app open, just use the slider at the top of the window to change the transparency.
Once you've set the app to be transparent, you can interact with anything that is "underneath" it just as if it wasn't there. Go copy text, reference a web page or whatever else and then come back to your Richnote or Calculator entry. The apps can also be expanded to a full screen with just one tap. QSlide is an interesting feature that can save you from having a "tools' folder on your home screen for these common functions. Hang tight after the break for a video walkthrough of using QSlide on the LG G2.

This might sound strange but qslide is easily the most disappointing feature ive encountered so far. The fact that you can only use the ****tier LG versions of Google apps is a travesty. I only use the gmail client for multiple reasons, same with Google calendar. But alas LG decided to make their most powerful phone gimped by simple software limitations. I hope someone can hack a qslide app that would allow us to add non LG apps.

Completely agree! It uses up too much space when I can only use the phone and calculator. And you can't totally get rid of it either. I'd love the function if at least gmail and google calendar were options.

Qslide does have a toggle switch with the rest of the toggles. It removes the row of apps below the toggle row in the pull down.

There is actually a buid.prop line that sets the amount of apps you can open in qslide. Let me edit it and I'll report back
The line in the build prop you can edit is the following:
ro.lge.qslide.max.window=2 (2 is the default)
I changed it to 3 and this is the result

In your notification pull down, at the top, is your row of toggle buttons. Below that is the row of qslide apps. There is a qslide toggle button that will add or remove the row of qslide apps. The qslide toggle should be with the rest of the toggles, unless you edited the toggles and removed it. I've attached a picture to show the qslide button at the top.

Devlop! Thanks! When I got the phone and set it up in didn't understand Qslide, left it out, then wondered why those idiots at LG didn't give us a way to hide that row. I, evidently, am the idiot, lol ?

Only difference I see between the Verizon and Tmo variants is that one says Memo (Tmo) and the Verizon version calls it "Rich Note" (I removed Voice Mate from my phone completely)
EDIT: I also see Verizon has no Calendar OR Browser in their qslide app.
But, I know Verizon doesn't have the Browser app. Theirs comes with Chrome. Which I wager to bet it's because the Browser has flash enabled and that eats up data QUICK (Hey I've watch some pay per views on one of my favorite streaming site from my phone a couple of times)

The same way you would make any app your default SMS app. Two ways:
1. Open app click on 'Settings' in menu and then click the preference at the top that says "SMS Disabled"
2. Go to device settings, 'Wireless & Networks' > 'More...' > Default SMS App

I'll get to that. Should be simple enough.
B10 is on first post with quick reply from notification
Just 2 requests for this awesome app pleaseee!!
1. Android Wear support.
2. Please add support for MMS over JUST WiFi (no data needed), Sprint and T-Mobile support this and the Dev of 8sms has it implemented perfectly!
I can test both for you also if you'd like :good:
Just wanted to say, love the app. Finally a messaging app that is simple, clean and quick. I really prefer the default messenger but hated the contact pictures that Android forces. Glad to see them taken out.
Keep up the good work.
Can you add the blue theme that was in the playstore app ? and the possibility to disable android stock green emoticone, they're so much anoying and i think that most of people prefer ascii smiley and emoji (that already included )
Please add an option to have NO SLIDING at all. And please add translucent statusbar color and round text bubbles?
Great app! Looks and works excellent. If I may make 1 suggestion, can the action bar (create new message, settings) be moved to the bottom of the app screen? Its easier to reach with my thumb when I'm on the go. I've seen other MMS apps using it that way so I hope its possible. Thanks.
Please include more options for MMS like auto save images and auto-enable data from mobile networks. I can't use this app since I can't automatically receive MMS. I think the only app that have such options is textra, and thats what I use.

Yes I'll be doing a lot of work on theming again soon. There were some other things I had to take care of and I figured the two themes provided would be enough for the time being. I will add a no sliding option as well, I've had numerous requests for it.

I'm not sure what you mean. I could save MMS to sdcard automatically. But the app already auto retrieves MMS.

When someone send me a MMS I got to have my mobile data (3g/4g/LTE ) activated to receive immediately that MMS, or else, only when I enable mobile data I will receive it.
I have tested with a lot of SMS apps and textra was the only one that have that option for MMS: turn mobile data on ( for automatically turn it on, receive MMS, and turn it off).

Ah gotcha. So you leave your mobile data off normally and would have the app turn it on just to download the MMS then back off again. That should be fairly easy to do.
