This is my first app, and I'm new to app development, so any feedback or tips are greatly appreciated. I have many plans for future features and updates that could improve or add to the ad. Also, any ratings or downloads help, thanks!
Updates from Version 4:
Update Version 4!
- Added a network section, it displays currently connected network, current upload speeds and download speeds that update every 3 seconds! It displays the speeds in megabits per second, but it can be changed to kilobytes per second in the advanced settings! However, network speeds are supported by most devices, and some may not support it.
- Improved performance on the configuration settings, it should scroll a lot faster and smoother now
- Added radio buttons for the text alignment in advanced settings, so now you can only choose one, and is a bit more clear
- Added multiple widget sizes for launchers that cannot re size widgets (2x1, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4)
Update Version 4.1!
- Fixed a bug that stopped certain features from loading
Update Version 4.2!
- Fixed a bug that gives the value 0 for external storage in Samsung Note 3
Update Version 4.3!
- Added an Update interval setting in Advanced Settings!
Update Version 4.4!
- Added battery temperature in farenheit in advanced settings!
- You can now manually enter the path to your external storage in advanced settings if it is not working!
- Hopefully added some better performance with the widget settings
Update Version 4.5!
- Added 1x1 widget size
- Added semi transparent background color
- Reduced app size (Free Version Only)
Update Version 4.6!
- HUGE speed improvements, no more slowing down your device! (Tested with multiple devices)
- Added 25% and 75% transparent background colors!
Update Version 4.7!
- Cleaned up ALOT of code, should increase the performance of the app, possibly less 4th cpu core usage
- Hopefully fixed an issue some users were having with not being able to send text messages
- More tablet friendly! Should be less likely to crash on tablets that don't have cell connectivity
Update Version 4.8!
- Various code improvements and bug fixes
- Re-coded the multi-core readings from scratch. 4th core now working (Tested and proven)!
- Added an option in advanced settings to remove the CPU title (If present)
Update Version 4.9!
- Now only supported by API level 18 (JellyBean 4.3)
- Since there is a higher supported version, memory (External, Internal, And Ram) displaying incorrect numbers is fixed!
App Description: Looking for a Conky like, text based, system monitor for android? Tired of slow system monitor widgets making your beautiful phone look ugly, and want something better? Stats Monitor was created for exactly that. As an android user, I created this app off of my own needs and desires as an android user, to create minimalist, text based widget, that could show what's going on in your phone, while keeping the home screens looking beautiful and customizeable.
Features:
Updates every second - Keeps you up to date on all of your phone info and system monitoring!
Time - Easy to see AM/PM format and the current date
Battery - temperature, and percent left
System - Cpu (multi-core available), and uptime
Device Memory - Internal, external, sd card, and ram (Megabytes and Gigabytes setting)
Mobile Network - 3g, 4g, or wifi info (name)
Data Speeds - upload and download speeds (updates every 3 seconds for more accurate estimations)
Customizable - Can use widget settings to hide or display any of these things
Advanced Settings - Change tweak formats and settings and enable things like multi core cpu support!
Minimal - Beautiful, easy to see, and simple!
Text Settings - Change text and background colors to you liking!
Conky (Like) - Build your own widget, but without all of the complicated scripts!
Through my testing, I've found this to be the fastest, most minimalistic, most customize able, and most beautiful form of android system monitor widgets, and I hope you agree. I also can confirm, along with many others, that this widget does not kill your battery, since it only makes requests while your screen is on, so this widget can save you from draining you precious battery life while you are monitoring it. If you have any suggestions or problems please post below, and rate this five stars if you enjoy it. Thank you!
Permissions:
Internet (Free Only): to get Ad requests
Storage: to hopefully fix a crash report some devices have, and save user preferences
Network and Wifi: For the network section to grab network name, and speeds

I forgot to mention, i plan on adding options for text sizes, and a network section to see connected networks and the speed of that network!
This with the speed of the network would be a great Idea!
You could put a download link for those who don't use the Google Play store.
More battery stats too, like time left on battery and current draw from battery. This is a great start.
Love it!
Please could you upload the APK somewhere? Thank you
Thanks for the app. Love the concept of it
Sorry for going offtopic, but which launcher and wallpaper do you have? I really like it, and would like to get it on my phone. Thanks
May be you could add the battery in a different way:
Total Capacity / Capacity Available / battery drain per hour... (similar to what Elixir shows).
Nice idea
That would be great to push the Conky-like mechanism one step further : allowing user to build conky-like script that can display any system variable the way Conky does
with a noob-friendly setting zone with predefined settings available (as it is now) and something else editable this kind of way:
Code:
#color settings
default_color FFFFFF
color1 FF0000
color2 FF5F00
color3 0000FF
color4 0073FF
color5 0BAE07
TEXT
mem: $mem/$memmax
${color5}${membar 5 80}${color}
cores: ${cpu 0} % ${acpitemp}°C
#${cpu 1}
${color1}${cpubar cpu 1 5 80}
${color2}${cpubar cpu 2 5 80}
${color3}${cpubar cpu 3 5 80}
${color4}${cpubar cpu 4 5 80}${color}
battery: ${battery_percent}%
battery: ${battery}
Edit : an app like yours already exist (slightly lighter than yours) but has no config options : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.masaki.TW&hl=en
how about allowing a single one to be displayed as a widget. example: only time, or only memory info
Very nice widget, great work.
One little bug as i see it is that for cpu usage the % sign comes before the value.
A nice feature would be RAM usage.
And a short description of permissions is always nice in app description on playstore
Edit: Another bug is that the uptime counter doesnt show days. I have uptime of 26h now but it shows 2h in widget.
For those who can't get the apk for some reason,its posted here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51303230
However,once the apk is posted by OP,I will remove the apk from abv thread...

The app does not seem to be happy with art runtime. Can someone verify, might be something else I have running and not related to art. Thanks

Got a tip for you. Clicking on the widget should lead us to the configurations window/ any other app of our choice, like ROM toolbox pro, or the settings app. Take a clue from minimalist text.
Great widget! doesn't take up much CPU or RAM.
Good job, bro!
Sorry guys! I didn't expect this thread to get popular all of a sudden! Thank you for all the replies! I thought it had died out, I'll read through everything right now!

Yeah, i really wanted to be able to have user created scripts, because that's half the fun of conky, and that's where real user creativity shows. However, i felt like a lot of people wouldn't want to take the time to learn or implement their own scripts since not everyone is computer savvy enough to do so.
And yes, that app is one of the reasons I made this one. i used it for the longest time, but I REALLY didn't want to see more than half of the info in the widget, and I really disliked the lack of configuration. I wanted something a bit more configurable, and minimalist. I definitely give that guy props for doing the idea first, but I wanted something different, so I made it. thanks for bringing it up though!

You can! I wanted to make sure if you only wanted one, you could have one. the widget has it's own configuration and you can pick and choose what you want!

Clockr v1.5.1 is now available from the Android Market.
NOW UPDATED TO VERSION 1.5.1!!

What is Clockr?
Clockr is a simple home-screen widget that displays the current time in a readable text format.
While it is simple in design, it is packed full of customisation options to make it look just the way you want it to.
Why did I make Clockr?
I have always been a fan of minimalism. I like to have a clean home-screen. Since there was no other widgets available that presented the current time in a way that I wanted it, I decided to make my own widget.
Will it work on my device?
At the moment, Clockr is supported on all current devices running 2.1+. Soon I will have support for earlier versions of Android, but I haven't been able to test this yet. It was designed with a 480x800 screen in mind, but this isn't to say it wont work on other sizes (again, it is something I haven't tested).
Where can I get Clockr?
Clockr is again available as a free download from the Android Market. You can find it by searching for "clockr".
QR code, its click-able if you are on your phone (thanks to Wallla and excedio for helping me out):
I hope you enjoy my widget!
Thanks
- xaffron (One More Clock) for his help with services and his nifty notification trick.
- zappatilias (BattStatt) for the initial inspiration and for the Color picker suggestion!
- ralfoide (24 Clock) learnt a lot by studying his code.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do I use this widget? Every time I click the icon it just brings up a stupid information screen.
A: Scroll down to the next post, I have provided a simple guide to installing Clockr/Clockr Evolution on your Home screen.
Q: Why does a clock need permission to read phone state?
A: Apparently it doesn't, this has been removed in the latest versions available on the Android Market. If you are being asked for this permission by my app, you are using an older version, please update. - Thanks zappatilias
Q: Some other clocks don't use a service, why does yours?
A: Clockr will only use a service if you enable "Force Update". If you are having problems with the clock going out of sync, you might need to enable "Force Update" as most people suggest this is the best method. In fact I have tested Clockr against other similar clocks using Watchdog real-time profiling and I have found Clockr (With Force Update enable) to be one of the most efficient of all of them in regard to actual CPU usage. I encourage you to test this yourself, you will be surprised at how little this app uses.
Q: Why does it put an item in my notification bar if I select "Force Update"?
A: Since Android 2.0, there have been changes to how services are handled. To keep a service from not being killed by the Android OS, you need to set it to run in the foreground. Since a clock widget needs to be constantly updating itself every new minute that passes, we don't want the OS to kill it off at the wrong time. Now, by setting itself in the foreground, it doesn't mean it's actually working any harder, it just means that when the OS decides to kill off services, it will leave it alone.
In the old days (pre-2.0), it was possible to start a service and flag it as "foreground" and that was it. To do the same thing now, Android requires that a notification is shown to the user at all times. I've hidden it as much as possible (thanks to xaffron for his suggestions), but if you don't like the idea of a notification sitting there, you can switch "Force Update" off.
Q: When will you add this feature...
A: At the moment, I am working on including many features. If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them in this thread but I can only work on so many things at once, I am only human!
Q: Why don't you respond to my complaint in the market.
A: While I do read every comment on the market, if you have a bug/issue, it is best to write about it here or even email me via the email address on the Clockr Market page (which is: [email protected]). Please try to provide as much information as possible, I'm not psychic. If you can include what phone you have, which rom (official/custom) you are using, how did the bug occur, what were you doing, etc... it will help me greatly to find the problem.
Q: Will you be adding support for App2SD
A: No. Please stop asking, you're making yourself look silly. App2SD does not and never will work for widgets.

How to install the Clockr Widget on your homescreen
NOTE: This isn't the only way to add widgets to your Home screen, but it is one way that is easy to explain.
FIRST STEP
You need to start from your Home screen. This is what a basic Home screen looks like:
It has widgets and other things that you can move around.
You need to make sure that you have room for Clockr to be installed (It does take up a whole row of space).
SECOND STEP
Press the "Menu" button on your phone so that this pops up:
Now you need to select the "Add" option (the one I have highlighted).
THIRD STEP
Now this dialog box will pop up:
Select the option to add "Widgets" (highlighted in the image).
FOURTH STEP
Now a list of available widgets will appear:
Select the Clockr widget that you wish to install.
FIFTH STEP
If you followed these simple steps, Clockr will now be added to your Home screen:
If you tap on the widget, you can then change any of the custom options to make it look how you want it to look.
Hope this has helped you, if you are still having trouble, let me know!

Can't wait to see what you can make out of it!
Added some mods. Uploaded to here, and on my blog's downloads section
Zehro and Hollywooder thanks for all your efforts!!
looks like an awesome app, just now added to my screen its much better than tjam in my opinion!
Looks cool, I'll try it out later.
Oh, how about localised versions? One thing that always bugged me about Tajm is that it is only English and am/pm, I'd very much love a widget like that that reads e.g. "ZwölfSiebenundZwanzig"

I'm still very new to Android Development, just learning my way around. At the moment, I am working to provide a configuration screen that allows you to change font size, font color and also add a background image (similar launcherpro dock). After this, I think localisation will be my next goal.
Man, I was totally lurk-stocking the Nexus boards waitin for this. Great work man, thank you!
Freakin' awesome! I use it on my EVO and it looks nasty! I love it!
You know what would go good w/ this? "Dater" "tuesdayNOVEMBERtwenty-fifth"

it would be cool if it were possible to install all three mods as separate widgets rather than having to replace one after the other when trying to switch between mods
Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm glad people are liking it, hopefully you will like it even more once I improve it!
The reason it updates a bit slowly is because I didn't want it to be a big drain on battery life. I can always change it so it updates more frequently, but for my first android app release, I didn't want people screaming at me because my app is killing their device. =P
Tonight I have been trying to workout how to get this configuration page to work properly. As soon as that clicks in place, you'll be able to switch font colors and all the other things easily.
I do plan to make other widgets in a similar style (I like the idea of dater, but the name... sounds a bit like a dating service! LOL). Right now, I'm just trying to focus on getting this configuration screen working and then it will be easy for me to apply my application to other ideas.
For now, I gotta sleep. Its after 2am here and I have to work tomorrow! >.<

Excellent program right out of the box right now! Makes my screen look pretty sexy.. Looking forward to updates and future widgets!
Hi there. I can see, what you have made awesome thing. And i came with one question, can you make multilingual? Or you can post some files, where words of hours are saved, so i can manually translate them to my language. Lithuania.
Sweet job!
Great clock, this one is the one i've been looking for!!!
Just waiting for the tans background so i can have White on black background!
I am not its developer , but however i am moderator in its official forum and may act as representative here around XDA for DianXin ROM.
so i can't answer all doubts or something , but however i will relay your problem , your doubts , your suggestions , your ideas or anything you wanna say about this ROM to its developer.
since now , 2.3's update has been stopped and will be focus on ICS version ...
as always , every friday.
============================
before i start anything , please take look at this nice presentation video.
(thank Flow-Wolf so much for this video)
this is not double of first one ...
(thank jozef710i so much for this video)
====================================================
if you see any untranslated, chinese part/app or anything , please point out where or what app is it ,it would be best if you post a screenshot , so it can be translated.
thanks
====================================================
i know you guys may think it looks like MIUI , but i assure you it's totally different ROM nor MIUI-based modification , and if you have time , please read first pages of all these kind people's reports and feelings about this ROM.
what i think is , every and any ROM is like child to all of us in Android community , and please don't think it is bad or ugly or whatever negative expression you can think of , because nothing is perfect , as MIUI , it is now 71 weeks old , and this one is only 3 weeks old, and for now , MIUI 4.0 does have problems and bugs as well as this one, it has some problems or bugs, but that's how all ROM start, right ?
we are just like bunch of daddies (mommies) here , to help developer to raise (improve) thier child (ROM) , they need you help and report!

=================================================================================
DX ROM introduction translated as requested (this translation almost got me killed -_-!!! be honest , i don't know what i am saying now...)
点心 (Dian Xin) in chinese, when put these 2 words together it means small food like cake or snack , in this case related with Android (cupcake, donut, eclair, froyo, gingerbread, honeycomb and ice cream sandwich), but , when separates them , the first word means "target" or "aim" , and second means "heart"

and put them together also can be explained "aimed/targeted your heart" (don't get me wrong , doesn't mean wanna shoot you )
it means design and make ROM to do/be what you want, what you prefer.
Based on ASOP 2.3.7 (4.0.3 for Nexus S)

[App] ☆ Energy Bar - pulsating Battery Indicator! ☆ [1M+ Downloads]
Greetings!
Many of you who have a Windows Mobile past like me, might have instantly recognized the thin colorful line(s) in the above image. And for the new Android generation, introducing Energy Bar - a pulsating Battery indicator!
Energy Bar puts a thin line on top of your Status Bar whose length corresponds to your device's current Battery level.
Got a full charge? The line will cover the whole width of your screen.
Battery depleting? So will the length of Energy Bar.
After several iterations (thank you for the feedback, early testers), the App is now feature packed:
Energy Bar can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to cover the entire status bar
Energy Bar puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
Energy Bar's origin can be configured as left/center/right
Energy Bar can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
Energy Bar can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
Energy Bar could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient
You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
Energy Bar as a cool pulsating animation whenever a power source is plugged into your device
There is something about visual over numbers that keeps you and your device's battery level in sync with just a glance. You may find it intuitive/effective/stylish way to read the battery level, let me know what you think

UPDATE G: EB_4.1 is up, download this latest version from the Download sections above. Also available on Google Play Market, download to receive automatic updates.
What's New?
UPDATE F: EB_4.0 is uploaded, adds the to-do feature for the last update - pauses animation on screen off. You can download the version right now from the Downloads section or from Google Play Market to receive updates automatically.
UPDATE E: New version, EB_4.0_XDA_BETA is now available in Downloads section.
As promised, this version packs in new features (both internal and visual,)
#1 The visual elements of the App now look more uniform across various versions of Android.
#2 The Single Color and Multicolor Modes are now combined as one, and that gives you the ability to:
Make the Bar use a single color (even when the Battery is low)
You can set your own Battery Low Level and assign a color for it to indicate
Make multiple segments of the Bar with different colors to indicate each segment. Maximum is upto 6 AND yes, the segment limits are variables controlled by you.
There is a live preview which gives you an idea how segments are arranged and color-coded for the Bar.
#3 Replaced the Color Wheel with a older one, which is more accurate.
To do for this version (4.0):
#1 Pause animation on screen off
Hope to receive some feedback soon.
UPDATE D: Latest version EB_3.4 is on the Google Play Market.
UPDATE C: Check the Attachement for Version EB_3.2 (BETA), addresses some bugs. Let me know how is it working.
UPDATE B: Just released an updated version of Energy Bar (EB_3) on Google Play Market, before you get all excited, this update is completely focused on stability/performance. I completely rewrote the code (made a big structural change), I would consider this update as an essential major internal update. Also, it should now perform better during the charging animation.
But, just to not totally disappoint you guys, I have added the following few things that is visual:
#1 The center animation is now more symmetrical (two pulses.)
#2 Custom Colors!!
#3 Thickness is now controllable to the level of pixels (larger devices can make the Bar even more thicker now.)
And lastly, am not abandoning the project with this update, I have got all the list of feature requests made so far since the first release, will be adding one by one.
UPDATE A: Initial version released! Scroll down to get the Download link (check the attachments for screenshot!)
Features:-
✓ An interactive UI to configure the Bar live, which reflects your color choice on both the Bar and the UI itself.
✓ Can be aligned left-right-center of the screen.
✓ Multiple colors option - the Bar changes color in every 20% Battery level interval.
✓ Thickness of the Bar can be configured.
✓ Option to start the Bar automatically on phone restart.
✓ Options to keep a shortcut to either hide or configure the Bar instantly from notification panel.
✓ Puts 0% load on CPU when running on Battery, on Battery level changes, system wakes up the Bar momentarily to update.
VIDEO REVIEWS:
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _____________________
Greetings!
Many of you who have a Windows Mobile past like me, might be very well familiar with the inspiration behind this application I created, temporarily called as Energy Bar. I saw a couple of Android versions as well, including the one which comes bundled with MIUI custom roms. So, here is my implementation of it (Video Below):
What it does?
Puts an Energy Bar at the top of the screen which indicates current battery level on any screen.
Plug-in any AC power source to start pulsating animation. The animation is detailed enough to let you know where was your battery level when you initially plugged in and what is it's current level during the whole process of charging.
A customizer interface to choose between three colors, Activate/Deactivate, auto start on boot.
The color chosen is always saved and used when the service is activated/deactivated, crashed and restarted, auto start on boot.
When customizer interface is closed by clicking "Close and run in background....", only the bar runs which takes around 3 to 4 MB static RAM.
The load on the CPU is 0% when the AC source is not plugged in. The service gets activated only when battery is reduced.
The Video:
NOTE: The video below is of the TEST version of the App, an updated video will be soon posted.
It's hard to showcase the features in screenshots (attached,) so I have uploaded a video of the app in action:

03:15 - 03:36
And at several more places, if you find it somewhere, let me know
WHAT'S NEW?
EB_6.3.5_BETA:
The App now relies on 'Notification Access' rather than the powerful & sensitive Accessibility Service, to be alive forever.
Upgrading from a previous version?
Click the activation switch, enable Notification Access even if you see the Bar already active.
On some devices, you may have to enable the App in 'Auto-start Apps' settings to survive a phone reboot.
Expect 0 mAh battery consumption.
EB_6.3.3_BETA:
#1 Added support for Android 8.0 Oreo.
#2 If you have faced "Permission denied" issue, this version should resolve it.
#3 On Android Oreo, in Status Bar mode, pulling down Notification bar wasn't possible, it's fixed now.
EB_6.2(.2)_BETA:
* The pulsating charging animation now remembers initial charge until power source is turned off.
* Lots of new Animations now available, including an option to disable it.
* Status Bar mode's background is now configurable as transparent or opaque.
* The UI now has clues on how to delete segments.
* Instructions to keep EB alive on Huawei/Lenovo added.
EB_6.1.5_BETA:
HOTFIX for crashes on some Android 6.0 devices
EB_6.1.4_BETA is a critical maintenance update featuring:
* The App now officially supports Android 7.0
* The 'Screen overlay detected...' issue on Marshmallow is finally taken care of, phew!
* Devices on which App crashes on launch is fixed (E.g., Moto X Pure)
* 'Merge Segments' color configuration now survives a reboot of the device.
* Thickness limit increased to 30
Thank you everybody for the amazing response, more updates will follow, if you love the App, don't forget to share it. Cheers!
EB_6.1.3_BETA:
* Attempts to resolve bugs faced by some devices.
Thank you everybody for sending in reports!
EB_6.1_BETA:
* Auto-hide is now not limited to just fullscreen videos, games, images. It will work on any fullscreen content which doesn't have a Status Bar.
* Support for Android 6.0.
* Flashy Ad replaced with native static one.
* UI glitches are now fixed completely.
* Lot of internal optimization for continued harmony between your device and Energy Bar
Discussion of the Release Version of the App starts from Post #20http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49385457&postcount=20.
Some screenshots by the XDA community, I don't know if the Bar is complementing their beautiful screen set-up or the set-up is complementing the Bar

The change has already been made, one of the devices in the video is not a rooted phone.
It would be great if you could set different colours for every say 10% increment so green for 100 to 90 blue for 90 to 80 etcetera, also being able to change the frequency of the animations from 1% to 2% or 5% or whatever would also be quite cool.

Every 10% might be messy, but will include the feature in a limited way, say every 25% may be.
Is it possible to change the bar height? That's a very needed feature if not.

I found the particular height I used to be an ideal one, but Indeed adding more customization option won't do any harm. Currently working on something that will significantly enhance the functionality of the bar, will showcase it soon.

Sure, you would be able to experiment with the height!
Off the top of my head, possibility to set a background color can be interesting too. That way if you have a transparent status bar and let's say a blue battery bar on a blue background then you can still see it.
That's all I can think of at the moment.

I'm not sure you would need a rooted phone for that. Simply have the progress color diminish while keeping a "full" color bar behind it/right to it. Two colors to set in this case.

Oh got ya! I thought you were talking about status bar background, which is not possible to change, atleast not till 4.3
My suggestions:
It would be nice to have the option to set the bars position to multiple locations (below the status bar, above or below the nav bar, or even left and right of the entire screen).
The centered mirrored option would be nice as well, as people who use roundr will have the bar cropped at the edge (happens to me with TEAM Battery bar and it's the reason I have it disabled now).
Also having a bar height option and being able to lower the opacity of the bar in case the user wants to have it overlap the clock and all the icons on the status bar.

Thanks for your support dear, welcome to leave feedback, any bug or need
Geak OS
Just a couple of suggestions here.
1. Add an English version of the news widget.
2. Add 12 hour format for the clock
3. Do not automatically sort all of our apps into many folders, it makes sorting it all out a train wreck.
I love the direction of this theme, however. It has great animations and colors. Also, could someone explain to me what the GeakOS account is for? I am reluctant to sign up.
Reply to your suggestions, Thanks !

Fist of all, thanks so much for your suggestions !
here is what im trying to do:
1. for the news widget, the English version will come, im searching for internatial rss.
2. you could set the clock to 12 hour format on the settings.
3.for the automatically sorting options, If you do not like it, we could try to change this in the next version, if most of users feel the same way like you.
for the GeakOS account, signing up one is for cloud service, the next version will support this function.
So anything else?
Have a nice day.
Thanks for the fast reply. I am glad to hear about the future inclusion on English for the widget. Could you please direct me to where, in the settings, is the option to make the clock 12 hour format?
I will continue to check in for updates and further suggestions. The theme is very fluid and nice in my limited use, so that is definitely a good start. Can't wait for further improvements!

i can release all the apps just on the launcher, or fold them on the folders, so which one do you like better?

Ya the older style without auto folders is much better. Icons look better now. One more thing which I had requested earlier was contact photos. sure many people would want it. Especially if you can get MiUI style icons for contacts without photos... Something like what follows next

I really think it is a good idea and we also consider to add the smart avater to the contact.
But we are confusing how to do it in details and whether most people would like it !
So you mean if you add the contact you do not want to add the photot in your gallery.
Instead, you want the system match one for you, right?
how to design it to make most people like it? any further ideas?
Did anyone know how to link to a foor?
I am kind fo new here.
so could anyone tell me how to link to specific floor on the contents??
Ya if there is no photo selected for any contact then the system (GEAK OS) should display a specific icon for that contact automatically instead of the boring default contact icon. If it displays the icons like MiUI of Gmail then it would be nice. I recommend that you take a look at Identiconizer app be GermainZ. Its fabulous and maybe you will get some idea.

I like it bro
hope on the progress the ram usage will keep small like that
maybe it can fold the apps according to category maybe
and bro I'm on dual sim phone maybe can it support dual sim ?
if not that's fine i'll just swap the sim
keep the good work
hope it'll get to play store soon
and prepare the donate version

Yeah I got that
Depending on your words and I also tried MIUI and the link you give me.
If user do not set the photo of contacts:
For the miui, It display the two letter of the name, just in a different font.
For the ChameleonOS, It only display the first letter.
So none of them seems very satisfied , I wonder if i coud display a more interesting pic, instead of bank.

Thanks for this app. As I have been using NFC Retag it takes some time to work out what to do using Aauuto.
1) First impression was why only landscape mode? I appreciate it is necessary to have landscape but there are cases with a long list when portrait should be an option. I prefer to be able to use both.
2) Major frustration is that widget cannot be put into a folder.
3) Not sure why there are two threads? This and http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/app-aauuto-automation-app-t2994977
I am using Note 4 SM-910F.
Keep up the good work. I guess we are all getting back into things after the break.

Hi Tom,
many thanks for the feedback !
Yep, Aauuto has a completely different UI concept than ReTag .... as longterm ReTag user, this could take some time ... but compared to other automation apps this should be very easy to handle
1) Hmmm, nobody seems to like the landscape mode except me ....yes, in portrait mode you will have some additional screen space for the activity list etc. but for the main UI you will get less screen space for events and activities (unless I implement some nested scrolling views (-> usually a horrible UI from my point of view )) .... However, Aauuto is in Beta, because I want to try things out and incorporate user feedback, so I will probably incorporate portrait within the next update ... then we can all have a look and decide if it makes sense or not
2) Arrgh , I´m doing Android development for years and using it even longer, but I wasn´t aware that you can put widgets into folders .... ....I like the resizeable widgets, but obviously you can´t put them into folders ... so I think I have to provide an additional non-resizeable widget ....
3) I want as much feedback as possible and this "Apps and Games" forum seems much to overcrowded for that ....
Promising app, I just hated the obligatory landscape mode, is awkward.
For portrait mode just use the exposed "app settings" module... And now you have portrait view.
Update: Portrait mode doesn't work well ...lol
How about adding time and GPS events! ie ... Phone to silent at certain locations. Or dim screen brightness at 9pm etc

Okay I got it , portrait will be available in the next update ....I just have to re-enable it and do some minor tweaking .... prototype screenshot below ...
Time event is already available ... it´s called Time and it´s the first event ... GPS Geofence is on my todo list, but it depends on Google Services and the Google part wasn´t reliable in the past .... i want to have everything else stable before struggling with the Google servers ...
Thx for the feedback!
Okay... Portrait layout is much better.
I would make the Scheme On/Off button more apparent.. I finally figured it out but easy to miss at first.
Also... I would prefer the Schemes Overview to be its own screen (not a pop-up).. that should be the screen it starts in as well.
One more request.. make long pressing Scheme name "edit" possible (I know you can edit from Scheme Overview pop-up.. but most will try to long press to edit).
Might help to have one basic Scheme built to help folks figure out the basic layout (like a low battery scheme).
Thanks in advance.

I disabled the ON /OFF label because it looked weird ... but yes, I should mention it somewhere ...a help function or a walk through or something like that ...
Also... I would prefer the Schemes Overview to be its own screen (not a pop-up).. that should be the screen it starts in as well.
Click to expand...

Probably no, mainly due to two reasons:
- The Overview is a quick way to switch schemes or to change some scheme settings like name or order .... I think it doesn´t contain enough content for an extra screen
- beside that the scheme screen do some heavy background loading (schemes, events, conditions, activities ) from the internal database... having an extra screen will start this loading again, so a pop up makes much more sense from a performance point of view
One more request.. make long pressing Scheme name "edit" possible (I know you can edit from Scheme Overview pop-up.. but most will try to long press to edit).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Already implemented that with an earlier prototype ....in fact, I had the same context menu enabled as in the Overview ... didn´t like it ... I think it´s much more convenient within the Overview, and beside that how often do users change a scheme name ...but it´s up to the users, if a majority wants this, I can re-enable it ....

1 Thanks for portrait mode.
2 Looking forward to widget that I can add to a folder.
3 I like the ability to move items up and down but it is tedious for more than a few positions. Can you implement a way to move to a particular position or drag & drop?
4 Note that my "event" is blank as my "activity" is triggered by click of widget.
5 Can you allow resizing of Event / Activity windows so I can see more Activity and minimize Event?
6 My Activity is a list of Start App - all related to News e.g. News Digest, News Republic etc. The idea is, I click on widget, then each app is launched and, after a few seconds I can read each News app, pressing back key to close and automatically display next one in my list until I know I have checked all my news sources.
7 Bug is that the Apps do not all launch or do not display in same order as I listed in your app.
Can this be fixed?
Cheers

I think i have to keep space for at least one event ....you would gain additional space for one more activity in portrait than in landscape on a nexus 5 (note 4 maybe 2) ... so one more activity for a niche use case vs. a fidgety UI and addititonal permanent size calculations within the UI .... I don´t think that makes sense
6 My Activity is a list of Start App - all related to News e.g. News Digest, News Republic etc. The idea is, I click on widget, then each app is launched and, after a few seconds I can read each News app, pressing back key to close and automatically display next one in my list until I know I have checked all my news sources.

Nothing to fix ... Aauuto fires the activities always in the correct order ... then the android multitasking kicks in......Aauuto is really fast, so it fires the activities within a couple of milliseconds ....one of your news apps may need a little bit more time to launch than other apps (or maybe is already in cache), so for Android the order could be a little bit different ....However, if you slow down the activities a bit by adding a "WAIT" Activity (--> Misc, 1 second should be enough) between the "Start App" activities, Android should have the same order cached :good:
wait Activity

Hmm ,
not much feedback so far, everything seems stable ... a few small issues and only 2 error reports ... I think, I could release the 1.0 version end of January .... so, please report your issues and feature requests till the end of next week and I could probably implement/ solve them for the official (non-beta) 1.0 release ....
btw. nobody so far mentioned the colors .... I like them, but I expected some uproar ....so, last chance before 1.0 ;-P

Colours are fine.Need more volume controls. Has Alarm, Music & Ringer Volume. Missing Notifications, System and Bluetooth.
When I change a setting (e.g. delay) it should show what I had set - currently deletes and creates new.
Volume should show numbers on the sliding scale please.
It is a competitive market against Tasker, Macrodroid and your own NFC Retag. Good luck.

Yep, standard android has Alarm, Music and Ringer volume. The other volumes were skipped in Android 4.0 ICS, if I remember it right ....A lot of manufacturers re-enable these volumes ... so it´s basically a manufacturer/ rom specific feature ... easy to implement, but works only on some devices .... However, I think I will implement some device/ manufacturer specific features eventually... not all devices and not all manufacturers, but the most popular ones and this volume settings thing surely will be one of the first device specific features.
When I change a setting (e.g. delay) it should show what I had set - currently deletes and creates new.

I do it like your proposal in ReTag ....it´s easier, if you only change a parameter, but feels a little bit awkward to change an activity .... so, I tried something new for Aauuto ... to be honest, currently I don´t know what I like better ....I will think about it ... additional feedback welcome
Volume should show numbers on the sliding scale please.

Hmm, android volume settings doesn´t show numbers, too .... so I don´t know what you want with these numbers ....but sure, I can have a look at it ....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks!
Yep, it´s a competitive market, but NFC ReTag is more focused on non-writeable NFC tags and other NFC stuff and was never designed as a full-blown automation app ... so I started again from scratch ... I could have renamed ReTag and updated it with a completely new app/code/database etc. to keep the downloads and users, but I would have had to skip a lot of features because of a different focus ... so I will keep NFC ReTag focused on NFC stuff and Aauuto for a more general automation approach (with additional triggers, events etc. --> although the NFC event in Aauuto should be even easier to handle with writeable tags than in ReTag )
Sure, Tasker is the benchmark. in functionality and complexity ...... I like Tasker, but I discussed it a lot with users and a lot of them (even some tech-savvy users) could not handle Tasker .....
And yes, a bunch of other automation apps are also available ... The main difference is the no background service restriction in Aauuto .... let me explain it on a popular example:
A lot of users want some battery saver feature like "when battery is < 20% disable XYZ" ... you can do this with a lot of apps (and it´s easy to implement), but from my point of view it doesn´t make sense at all .... Android doesn´t provides a standard battery level broadcast (except Battery LOW and OK ...and it´s by intention). So any app which wants to provide such a feature has to start a background service and constantly waking up (every couple of seconds , once a minute, whatever) your device and check the battery stats ...this cause a lot of additional battery drain, wake locks and so on and at the end of the day, this checking could drain a lot more battery than you can save via "disable XYZ" ... so it´s senseless .... but users want it and they usually get it ... [another popular example for this user/android problem are the countless RAM cleaner apps out there ....on current Android versions, it doesn´t make sense to clean your RAM at all , because Android does a perfect job with that (only a full RAM is a good RAM ) and these cleaners usually do more harm than good ..... but users want it and they usually get it ...]
OK, back to the point: Aauuto will only implement rock-stable activities and bulletproof events and conditions ....so when you use Aauuto, you can be sure it works without issues and without hidden drawbacks. Maybe I will not implement a popular feature, due to some hidden drawback, but for me it´s more important to develop a good app and therefore have a few less downloads than implementing popular but problematic features ....Afaik you can´t be sure of that with other automation apps.
