[APP MOD] GoldenEye 64 Watch [UPDATE]

Hi everyone!
I made a replica of the watch from the pause menu in GoldenEye 64 for my SmartWatch using an app from the Play Store and 3 simple .png files.
Thought I would share in case I wasn't the only person who thought it was kinda cool haha!
The app you need is this... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kaybit.smartwatch.customwatch&hl=en_GB
Then download the attached .rar file, unpack and copy to somewhere on your phone. I copied them all over in a folder so that once it was all set up, I could add a .nomedia file to the folder so the files wouldn't show in the Album.

[Tutorial]
Im sure you can all work it out, it's quite simple but just in case you need a little guidance here it is
Install the Custom SmartWatch app.
Once installed open its settings from your SmartWatch app list.
Tap on "SmartWatch 2 Settings".
Tick "Custom Ananlog Clock"
Tap "Create Custom Analog Clock"
Tap "Backgroundimage", search for the GoldenEye Background.png file and open it.
Tap "Hourhandimage", search for the GoldenEye Hour Hand.png file and open it.
Tap "Minutehandimage", search for the GoldenEye Minute Hand.png and open it.
That's it, however I also opened the "Battery Settings" and ticked "Activate Low Power Mode" so that the screen dims to grey scale to save power. You can have the watch display in colour all the time but the battery will last less than a day.
This app will automatically open itself on the watch if left idle so it replaces the stock clock app, and you'll still receive your notifications. Just tapping the screen will bring back the colour and light, pressing the home button will exit out to use other apps. You'll have to get used to doing that instead of pressing the power button like you would with the stock clock app because this is technically a running app and pressing the power button on the watch will close it and bring back the stock clock.
Enjoy!
[UPDATE] After using my GoldenEye design for a few days I noticed that when you tap the screen to make it light up again to read it and show the colour of the background, it took quite a few seconds. After contacting the developer of the Custom SmartWatch app and talking to him over the last couple of days, he has been amazing and updated the app to better support this kind of design.
The app now has a few more options under "Battery Settings" and if you enable "Monochrome Mode" and the "Faster Screen On" settings, the clock will still dim to grey scale saving battery, keep the background visible but will light up a lot quicker after tapping the screen. Feels far more responsive!
Credit to Kaybit for his awesome app!

Nicely done
I wasn't aware of the app before, I'll give it a try and use your base as a template.

Yeah it's a pretty cool app, I had it with my SmartWatch 1 but it was never as customisable as this. I noticed that it had been given an update and tried out the new options and ended up with this. To be honest if you have even just a little Photoshop knowledge the possibilities are endless!

This is pretty cool man! Nice to see this sort of thing going on over here - we can't let those Pebblers have all the fun now can we?! It's just a shame that notifications don't appear as normal using a custom watch face but obviously, the finger is aimed at Sony for that.
Well done bud, this is definitely something I will be showing my friends ha ha

This is AWESOME! Is it possible to use a digital clock display instead?

I installed it, it works when I tap the screen, then it goes to low-power mode for half a second, then blank screen. What can I set so it stays in low-power mode?

You can make any gesture do anything with GMD and Tasker.

Also, any tap to wake option is a battery killer. I tried touch control for a day. Loved it! But my battery took a sh*t kicking. Lol

I'm going to guess its no different than tap as a battery killer, but that's a guess. Tho in both cases the phone is waiting anxiously for a tap or slide....and either way battery is plummeting as it wait. LOL
Haven't actually tried swipe tho. Didn't like the sounds of it. Double tap yeah....but slide doesn't sound as appealing.

Ah, yes, you're right about that, and, moreover, Tasker's (Secure Settings) "Wake Device" function could be activated with the screen off only by an accelerometer gexture, not a tap on the screen (I'm not even sure about that, though).
Well, at any rate, you should try Touch Control for yourself. I have not noticed any immoderate battery use over the past three months during which I have had it installed, and it's very handy.

kj2112's used the phrase,
"Haven't actually tried swipe tho. Didn't like the sounds [sic] of it. Double tap yeah....but slide doesn't sound as appealing."
In this case, the verb "to sound" is being used in an idiomatic expression which means "to give the impression that", "to seem", or "to appear". kj2112 was saying, in essence, "I did not try Touch Control's slide-to-wake feature because it did not seem to be something which I would like".

Gravity screen (Pro) unlocks the screen or with motion or by hovering your hand over the proximity sensor, link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree and Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenoffpro.

Flashlight/Torch

anyone know if LG has ever released, or will release a torch/flashlight app? I love this phone and it pwns my S3 so bad, but I wouldn't mind a way to see in the dark. And if not, what is the best third party app?

Start trying then one by one and let us know which you prefer.

If you root and get G3 tweaksbox you can set volume up as torch with screen off

I don't know if its the best out there but Super-Bright LED Flashlight works fine for me.

I simply use long press home button to turn the torch on/off. Works only if you have root and gravity box of course...

Is there a way to change screenshot button combo?

so on my older Android phone to take a screenshot I had to press volume down+ power. easy one handed operation. now I have to press power and home button. wtf!! can this be changed because is freaking annoying to have to use two hands every time. I'm on 930t.

Umm. It's only power and home. No volume button

You could use the palm swipe gesture. It's been like this on Samsung phones since at least the S2, so outside of a possible party utility, you aren't going to be able to change it

Like mentiond above, easiest way is to press home button and power button simultaneously. You have to press and hold them at the same to to make it work. If you first press the home button and half a second later the power button, then it won't work. The swipe-to-screenshot gesture is more difficult to use for me as I sometimes need a second attempt to make the screenshot.
How to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S7

If you're rooted it would be readily available when you long press the power button. A window will pop up giving you one of many options and one of them is a screenshot command. Which will exit out the window and take a screen shot of your current screen. Pretty damn useful.

there are apps like "all in one gesture", where you can define a hotkey and add an action like screenshot..
e.g. I use longpress home for screenshot

3 finger swipe for Nougat screen shot is idiotic
The 3 finger down swipe, in addition to needing two hands and 3 fingers, usually scrolls down whatever screen you're on before the image is captured. Was very annoyed until I found that screen shot could still be added to the power button options. I stand corrected.

Question double tap on screen to turn on and off

Hello good evening
Does the pixel 7 pro have the double tap on the screen to turn on and off?

As far as I can tell, the OS doesn't have a gesture to turn off but it does to turn on. NovaLauncher does.

I used this app on xda a while back for my Pixel 5 and it worked ok despite it falling out of memory every so often. It's been updated quite a bit since. Thinking about installing it again myself.
[APP][1.6.1] Tap, Tap: Double tap on back of device gesture from Android 12 port
Tap, Tap is a port of the double tap on back of device gesture from Pixels running Android 12 to any Android 7.0+ device*. Tap, Tap provides over 50 actions that can be run from double or triple taps on the back of your device, including...
forum.xda-developers.com
Anyhow, it's not double tapping the screen. It's double tapping the back of your phone to turn it off, so it may not be what you're looking for.
I'm hesitant to install apps on the Playstore that will give you an icon to turn off the screen as I'm a little wary about giving special access to an app like that no matter what the reviews are.

If you get the Super Status Bar app, it has a feature that allows you to interact with the status bar that includes tap/double tap/tap and hold/swipe left/swipe right to turn off the screen.
Super Status Bar - Customize - Apps on Google Play
Easy brightness control, notification ticker text, gestures, battery bar & more

Awesome. I might actually do the switch from my OP9pro to the P7P really soon then. The mod scene moves so much faster on pixel phones compared to practically all other phones I've used (except for older LG (G2 & G3) and Nexus phones, mods came out quick for those.
Still on android 11 on my OP9pro because of how slow development has been on the device.
