I wanted to have my Quick window case working with CM11 based roms so I went to work. I found Alex Burka's "Hall Monitor" app for the Galaxy S4 and figured that it would be a great starting point for our device. I ran into problems because the way Hall Monitor works is by receiving changes in the proximity sensor and then verifying that the Hall Effect sensor has changed states. On the LG G2, the window case doesn't trigger the proximity sensor when it closes and thus causes that method to fail. I decided to change it to use the light sensor instead and it seems to work pretty well. I also had to edit the app to point to the right place to check for the state of our hall sensor and the dimensions to match our window vs the S4's.
I haven't done extensive testing on this app yet but I figured there are a lot of others that want this feature and can help test it. I still need to modify the layout of the alarm snooze / dismiss buttons and the phone answer / hangup buttons, so you may want to hold off on using those features. The screenshot shows the torch feature enabled in the window and that seems to work.
Features:
Close case and the clock comes up for 10 seconds (adjustable) and then phone locks and sleeps.
Open case and the phone wakes and the lockscreen appears (I haven't gotten it to unlock it yet).
Background color picker
Clock text color picker
Torch button in window
Alarm dismiss / snooze (WIP)
Phone Answer / Decline (WIP)
Pick custom music widget (WIP)
Use your own widget for window instead of the default (WIP)
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT YOU, OR THIS APP, CAUSE TO YOUR PHONE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Installation Instructions:
Download the apk and install it like any other apk.
Open the app and check the "Enable" checkbox and be sure to grant it the device administrator rights when prompted.
Check the "Root Enable" box and grant it root permissions.
Profit!
I tested this application with root so I don't know what issues you may run into if you don't grant it root. The device administrator permission is necessary for it to interact with the lock screen. This is my first attempt at modifying an Android application so be gentle.
Special thanks to Alex Burka for creating the Hall Monitor application and sharing his code!
Enjoy!!
Download: Hall Monitor 0.0.2a for G2
It's setup for the default dpi of 480 but I will try to make a few versions for different dpi's, later.
Testing now. Thanks. Trying now. Will report what I find.

Not using this now, but maybe in the future at some point. Just went back to a LG rom because of the quick window. Thanks for your efforts
I just tried with the 1/1/14 cm11 and not having any luck getting the clock to show. It does lock the screen but no clock. I can sometimes see the clock screen when I'm opening the case, but it disappears and goes to the normal cm lock screen. I did rollback to an older cm (12/12/13) and it works there. I can stay with the older cm but wondering if you had any ideas what might be causing the issue on the newer nightlies. This is the verizon g2.
Thanks for the hard work. This was what was keeping me from cm as well.
EDIT: Works with the 12/30 nightly
Another 'issue/caveat'. The app does not appear to work correctly in the dark. Makes sense since its using the light sensor.
Houston's rom recently fixed the smart cover detection such that when I close the lid the screen turns off. Not sure if this helps but there might be hints to detecting it in his code?

This is great, do you plan on continuing to develop it? If so, are you going to post sources? It would be nice to hack on it a bit and try to achieve some LG ROM level functionality, since we have much more room to make use of than on the S4.
I found the code change that's causing the screen to close in the nightlies after 12/30.
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/635b0420991288cb1cb80b9baea0544b6da232f0
But it doesn't appear that that config string is an option presented in the UI to actually turn off.
Nice app, looking forward for updates and more functions.
Thanks :laugh:
Nice job.
I'll test on PA.
No luck running cm11. It wants to work but nothing comes up with when the case is closed. when I open it i can see the window pop up for a couple seconds on top of my home screen. not sure if they latest fix to allow the magnetic wakelock works is jacking up your work. On that note im excited to see someone working on this.

That functionality was all I wanted from CM. To turn off the screen when I close the lid and unlock it when I open it.
I've tried to install this on LG stock ROM (with root), it gives me "package parsing error".
It's not working on my LG G2 D802 with Cyanogenmod 10.20.

Thanks for testing it out, and I am glad it worked. I will work on a settings menu so that there are options for the status bar and delay time.
Thanks for the feedback and ratings in the market. I have decided to continue development on this application and I am working on an update to fix some small issues right now.
For the people who could not get it to work, please check that you have given the app superuser permissions and let me know if it is still not working.
Works pretty well so far. Some suggestions
Make it so instead of launching from the notification bar, launch from long press search.
Make it so you can select to the edges
Make it easy to completely quit
Might think of more later

Just added another update:
1) completely re-designed the handles now they work in 4 way directions and you can use them without covering the center with your finger. 2) fixed some force close issues people were having.
3) option to launch it from longpress search
4) many new settings in the preference menu to choose the type of handles for selection
Please post here if it works for you. Thanks for all the suggestions.
- it works for me
- it´s great
thanx for the new app, it´s standard now on my phone.
Edit: sometimes icons stays in statusbar...check/uncheck icon in settings solves this.

Thanks for the helpful comments! I will look into the check/uncheck problem. Right now I have set it to stay in the status bar by default, do you mean that it doesn't come out of the status bar when you uncheck the icon?

It appears that when I start the app and resize the selection box, the initial box that appears stays imprinted until I exit the app or copy the selection. Also it seems to not be able to copy accurately for me, it would get the first few words correctly then it becomes completely gibberish
CM6 Nexus one. It fails to install if CM tries to install to SD card. Installs fine on internal storage. Works great when copying just one line. Starts to get gibberishy after 1-2 lines. Kinda slow to start up. A landscape mode would be awesome. Overall doesn't make me want to throw the phone across the room like the built in copy paste. I will be using it for my copy/paste needs. Please continue developing it.

I will check the selection box, there is probably a problem with the activity. It might be getting gibberish because of the selection that you make. Try to make as small a selection as possible. It might also be a problem with the program, I and do some tests for the next update. Thank you for trying the app, stay tuned for future updates.

GWL is a new free Lockscreen that focuses on the comprehensive use of widgets on the screen lock is designed so that everything you put in it are widgets and therefore supports 100% of existing widgets for Android.
In addition, following this philosophy incorporates a unique unlock, any knowledgeable person can develop their own widget that will help unlock the screen and to prove "GWL unlock button" is incorporated into the app.
Also I liberate a miniSDK for users with more limited knowledge you can design your own release buttons/widgets.

If not using a menu from the list of widgets, you should appear seamless.
Anyway I mean all those in the market.
It is possible that some extreme launcher modifications as MIUI got some problems, so there is this phase of beta testing, to identify best and fix them.
Ill help. how do i get the app?
Love this app
Give me a chance to be beta tester!
Thanks!
I'd love to be a beta tester as well, I could even test your mini SDK if you like me too.
Let me know
Tiwiz
nice one, will give it a shot.
does it support a "passive" mode (that is, non-interactive) for the widgets? that would be very neat for most widgets I can think of putting on my homescreen. I basically need status information like weather, unread messages, todos/agenda, and stuff like that. being able to make those widgets passive would allow me to get information from them without compromising the lockscreen's actual purpose which is preventing the phone from unwanted input.

My feedback
Hi,
i gave it a try and here is my feedback:
when adding a widget, the title is still in another language
The widgets can't be moved
after unlocking, it goes into 'car mode', please change
The setting "use secret code" doesn't stay highlighted even though it is an active option
Also for the custom wallpaper, so i think i can say that active options doesn't stay highlighted
The security code can't be swype (with swype beta), if this is not an option it should be mentioned
It isn't clear or explained what "use the force" does...
When i press the "home" button, it locks in stead of going back to the home screen
Disabling functions isn't really possible because nothing stays highlighted
When disabling your app it goes back to the default lock screen (glass) and not back to the previous one, in my case the security lock with swype.
I have a SGS2 phone with the cognition ROM v1.31
I hope this helps you further programming. I have to say i like the idea very much. Maybe in the future you can have certain apps as well, like phone, whatsapp, messaging. So that when you unlock you can go to these apps.
Keep up the good work. good luck.
ok im going to give it a go i will report back any issues i have
hi,i have tried it on on my rom but it gives me fc!!
Hi mate, nice app.
I tried it and I have som suggestions.
The default "unlock" system is too easy, I think u should provide at least one scrollable unlock button as default to avoid accindentally unlocks.
Another suggestion, I found it hard to place widget in some positions of the screen, maybe u should implement something to move widget when they are placed. Something like a menu entry "Move Widgets" should be good.
Sorry for my bad English
CYA
i'll definitely try this out
Very good, here are some suggestions
Fix the wallpaper to fit the screen.
But more importantly, add a mode in the app itself to trigger an editing mode which will allow you to move widgets around in the lockscreen. It would also be awesome if you were able to add different unlock modes, like vanilla unlock, drag a bar down, touchwiz unlock, sense 3.0 unlock. These are just ideas, but so far no problems. Good job.
Also please add descriptions to the settings, I didn't understand a couple like jedi mode.
seems good so far. any plans for offering an API for 3rd party developers to let them lock/unlock the lockscreen?
I love you guys!
Thank you for this amazing collaboration I have in mind all your suggestions.
-I liked the "passive mode", it was something I wanted to add.
-As you move from place widgets is more complicated, but of course I will try to implement it.

Yes, I plan to publish a small sample code with the unlock button on googlecode on a few days.
But if you desire to keep trying is as simple as that when it's time to send the signal to unlock use this public broadcast:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent("com.firezenk.gwlads.kill");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
----
It seems that the program is not currently compatible with MIUI if anyone could send the LogCat from time to give FC would appreciate it very much.
These are the issues I had so far:
-Soon after I added a widget it crashed without any warning messages.
-Could not remove the widgets in the usual method, had to use the Menu>Remove all widgets option
-Sometimes Launching the locker does the same thing as pressing the home button.
-Car Mode got enabled
-When adding a widget the title is still in Spanish(?)
-Could not find a way to launch the application settings.

Synopsis
Okay so I am working on an app based pie that doesn't require root. It uses accessibility services to manage itself. Please don't tell me how we have so many variants of pie, if you are not a fan just move on. My long term goal is to diverge from what current variants have. I created this due to the shutdown nature of the new pie for PA 4+. I have yet to implement a lot of features. I am just throwing this out there to get both ideas and bug reports. Suggestions and requests are welcome but I promise nothing.
Current Features
Code:
- pie controls
- custom coloring
- autostart
- works in landscape and portrait
- system wide function (minus lockscreen and notification panel)
- pie custom sizing
- trigger area custom sizing (width and height)
- cm11 theme support (pulls navbar icons from the system now)
Goals (not promises)
Code:
- gravity other than bottom
- clock
- notifications
- google now/search access
- [STRIKE]custom sizing[/STRIKE] DONE
- animations
- notifications and quick toggle access (like in 4.3 version of pie)
- [STRIKE]themeable (via cm11)[/STRIKE] DONE
- per app coloring
- appstore support
- icon and slicker UI (I could use help with icon)
Bugs
Code:
- having pie up while screen lock requires reboot to end
- occasional pie gets stuck (reboot will fix)

Changelog
Code:
Version 0.0.4
- recoding of detection code to boost performance
- support for sound (not integrated yet)
Version 0.0.3
- quick fix to bug introduced in 0.0.2 where landscape pie wouldn't work
Version 0.0.2
- slight redesign (added gap between buttons)
- recoded pretty much everything, the old code was ugly and not modular
in order to the most basic things I would have to do a lot of coding and
going forward that is not good
- custom pie sizing, you can now choose small, medium, large
- custom trigger sizing, increase the size of the trigger if you find it too
small the only problem with this is accidental hits will be more common.
I added this last second so you need to reboot to apply (I will fix this in
the next update)
- CM11 and custom firmware theme support. It now pulls your navbar buttons
from your systemUI so it will look like your CM11 theme or touchwiz or sense
Version 0.0.1
- initial release
How to Use
Turns out a few people were confused on how to use this. Swipe up from the bottom to activate, go over the button you want to use and then release on it.

Yeah that's the goal. The only thing I would add root for is for people to hide their navbar if they have one. Otherwise all the functions I have in the app will go without root
Okay so apparently this doesnt work well with xposed enabled. Its works but its a hit and miss. Like some times registers it other times it activates google now. I will give it another try with xposed disabled.
And one more thing it doesnt seem to work in landscape. Dont know why but I shall check.
The customization features do work and they are pretty good. Simple yet powerful.
I shall keep messing around with it for more time.
EDIT:- On second try. I tried it on my note 2 and it works perfectly I think the only problem I am having is becuz main device has on screen navigation bar that's why. So if u have hardware keys u will be all right. On screen buttons might need some work.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes this is meant to replace navbar (on screen buttons). If you use gravitybox or a variety of other stuff you can hide the navbar.
Thanks again and I am working on a big update so stay tuned.
And for landscape it always puts it on the bottom of the phone so in landscape it will be on the long side down. Try that.
Subscribed, will keep an eye on this project as I'm a big fan of pie navigation.
You got featured http://www.xda-developers.com/android/dbpie-brings-pie-controls-to-non-rooted-users/

Same issue with me. I tried it on Moto e 4.4.2 (not rooted). it doesnt have hard buttons. well i'll try a reboot i guess. but apart from "enabl/disable service" and "color" options. no other option works in settings. you probably have not made them available yet i guess since its alpha. but just reporting.
EDIT: After reboot got toast message that DBPie auto started" But nothing else happened.
Sounds interesting
This app sounds great, specially that you don't need root. But i almost don't see the purpose, at least for me because if my phone is non rooted this app would work (which at the moment it is not, have it enable but nothing happens) but to remove my on screen nav buttons i would need to be rooted. Unless I'm missing something, I've never found a way to permanently remove the nav buttons (and have the keyboard work) without having to be rooted, which at that point I would just use lmt. I look forward to the app progressing but would like a way to give the nav bar within this app and not need root. Thanks
Same problem as stated above. I have nexus 5 running 4.4.4
Well I guess apologies. Its working alright. But hard to make it appear. The space to enable it for devices having onscreen keys is bit too small ..
Have to touch edge of top border of existing onscreen keys to make it appear

This should explain what I meant more properly. This is why most users will think not working.

What is the icon pack you are using?
If this would completely replace the onscreen buttons on my Moto G I would pay for the app instantly. I think the constant onscreen buttons are a waste of screen.
Can you please tell me which CM11 theme and icon pack you use? Those Settings look so gorgeous! <3

It's called flux, it's one of my favorites. It's a cm11 theme so you need a custom ROM (I use Paranoid Android)

After using devices like Asus , LG ,samsung and others i came across xiaomi's MIUI .Being a custom rom fan it was too hard to look at miui notification . Those notification style was cancerous . Miui offers a lot in terms of customization and theming.when it comes to notification it s**ks . My device came with android 6 installed so i thought when xiaomi would provide update to nougat the notifications would become better , but that didn't happen so I was left in pain and agony:silly:
So users i present you an app called MATERIAL NOTIFICATION SHADE to overcome your pain and agony too :highfive:
This free app is a flexible replacement for your notification shade; it not only skins the bar and alerts, but also lets you expand them as you would with stock Android. You can also move around the toggles for functions like Wi-Fi and mobile data.
It’s a small, but essential fix for a problem that quickly gets out of hand,so helpful apps like this are a godsend. :silly:
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT:
miui installed
the above mentioned app
patience
brain ......,(follow the onscreen instructions)
why to install this app ?
why not ? Its free . minimum android version requirement is 5.0 . It changes the look of your notification shade which it is meant to do .
Isn't that enough for you ,eh ?

Here's a video regarding this app on YouTube . Thanks to @Deep.cdy

Was eagerly waiting for some magic for the notification on miui . thanks @Boomshiva for bringing this to light:good:
If this works, it is going to be amazing and revolutionizing for MIUI.
Material notification shade is great, but with MIUI 8.5 on my unrooted Mi5s it needs to be reactivated manually after every reboot, which is very frustrating. I granted the app autostart and every permission, is there a fix for this?
great great app
but i found 2 issues
1- when i activate flash light it lighten the dual tone flash ...( the stock one only lighten the white flash which is more convenient )
2- when i pull down from anywhere on home screen it shows the old nitofication style...to open the new one i have to slide from the status bar itself
thanks and keep it up

Hey, I had the same problem with my Redmi Note 4. All we have to do is open the recent apps, and instead of sliding all of them up, you slide down the Material Notification Shade app and then you'll see the option "lock". It'll be always open
@Boomshiva awesome bro
Great job
Thanks!!

Not working for me, i set quick settings first and notificacions later, and always with the gesture shows the old notification. Another idea?
Thanks!
EDIT: I set up the shortcut on nova and it works!

Personally, I wouldn't call that an issue but working as intended.
At least that's how android has always handled notifications.
@op Thanks!
The awful MIUI notifcation system has been my biggest gripe and main reason to think about flashing a custom rom. It's gotten slightly less bad with the latest MIUI 9.2 update but still looks like crap.
This might fix it. :good:

Glad u guys like this app . Now move to playstore and give some ? there as that would be more beneficial . Thank you
Hi thanks for the app, I am using it right now.
I am on epic rom and I have to point that some toggles do not behave as they should be.
For example the auto brightness toggle is not changing anything, also the night mode toggle do not change the color of the screen.
Except these this is a good app.
Thank you very very much!
my gps and aeroplane mode does not work. using redmi note 4

@Jawomo ...ure working on floatify again? ... will be nice... i used PRO for long time (till update oreo) thx
greez bodo
How do I actually enable this as my lockscreen?
Sent from my Google Pixel XL using XDA Labs
Good lockscreen!
:good:
i can´t enabled it on a Huawei P20 :s
So far it's been perfect, the only issue is that face unlock can't be used in conjunction with it. Is there any possibility of adding it?
Samsung Galaxy S8 on latest firmware with July security patch, if that makes any difference.

I understand that, but on the stock lockscreen I can use it just by waking up the device. It would be nice if it could be implemented to work the same with this lockscreen. Still using it as it is though
I have an original Pixel XL and and bought the Pro version but requested a refund shortly afterward. The Google Play Music widget does not show up when playing music, quick reply doesn't work, widgets don't show up when added....etc.
Oneplus 5t:
Sometimes the new Lockscreen appears, sometimes its the default OOS one.
Am I doing something wrong? I loved lockscreen widgets!

Not all music apps are supportes yet, but will.
Quick reply works peefectly here with whatsapp e.g.
For widgets you have to swipe right on lockscreen.
Hope it helps.

This is controlled by the system. On my OP 3T its working fine. Cant do much about that unfortunately.
Double post
Thanks for this, it's great. It works almost flawlessly, sometimes the default lockscreen will appear for split second, but it's not an issue. A couple of things I noticed, sometimes I see the notification that I have chatheads on from Facebook Messenger, not sure which one to turn off so that doesn't appear at all, I'll screenshot it next time I see it, if it reappears. Also on Facebook Messenger the actual notification has Like, Mute and Reply options while the notification on Ava only shows Like.
Is there a chance that we can choose to have the widgets on the main page, along with the notifications. on tall phones like the S9+, I believe they can fit decently.
EDIT: Here's a screenshot of the forementioned Messenger notification https://i.imgur.com/QB6FIg2.jpg
I am contemplating upgrading to Oreo but not being able to put widgets on the lockscreen is one of the things that's holding me back. I currently use an Xposed module that does accomplish this on Nougat. However, The dev of the module is likely not upgrading the app to support Oreo. I was really glad to see this. So here's my question, Can I disable all the other settings and basically just have a widget on my lockscreen? I don't want a second window on my lockscreen swipe over to, All I want is to have a widget on my primary lockscreen window. I am still on Nougat and your app seems to target Oreo so I can't test this out myself yet. Also I am using Zooper to make my custom widgets. Will those work? Cheers and thank you.
Absolutely love the potential of the app.
Unfortunately I am not able to activate the lockscreen despite giving it any and all permissions. I've given the initial permission at the start of the app, set up a few other settings, but when I go to toggle the switch at the top right corner to enable it the app either crashes or switches to the lockscreen settngs. If im able to activate it and lock my phone nothing shows up and it's my regular lockscreen. I only use the fingerprint/PIN security as well.
My device is Huawei Mate 10 Pro (us warrenty version)
This is a great app and I also have the same issues reported by others:
1. The original lock screen shows up for split second before Ava comes up
2. It requires 2 steps to login to the device. Usually pressing my finger on the lock screen would unlock it, but with Ava you have to scroll up. Luckily this can be circumvented by not opening the lock screen at all (press finger while screen is dark)
3. This one is the real deal-breaker for me. The notification access doesn't honor the "sensitive content" setting or lacking one. I'd say the best flow for notification access should be the following:
* If phone is locked, check the "sensitive content" setting
* If user is trying to access sensitive content, request authentication
* Non sensitive content can be accessed immediately (i.e. music player, weather, etc)
(EDIT)
4. This is less important issue, but choosing wallpaper should also invoke cropping or selecting which portion of the wallpaper to be used regardless of apps used
5. This is just a suggestion and not important at all:
* Add drag upwards as one of the "Launch By" for shortcuts
* Add date format to the Clock so we can have something like "Thu, Aug 2" or preferably write our own format
* Allow multiple widgets of the same kind. For example, I'd like to have a few tasker widget performing different tasks.
OTHER: I seem to be unable to tap on widget. I think I saw a message about it but can't remember what I need to do to allow it. Maybe add this to Help section?
