Great news everybody TimeSwipe now supports tablets!
I created TimeSwipe as a simple way to use timers in a new intuitive way!
TimeSwipe is easy, fast and reliable. Now with support on all tablet sizes, at least 7" and 10"
Well what does it do and how does it do it?
You can use it as a countdown timer or as a stopwatch. You swipe the seekbars to set a time and press start, and now you have got your self a countdown timer. If you dont set a time by using the seekbars, it will start as a stopwatch. Simple? yeah I know.
The timers run in a foreground service and the timers is visible in the notification bar. If you would turn off your phone, or the app craches (god forbid). Then everything is stored and ready to proceed like nothing ever happend on your next launch.
Feature list:
- Phone and tablet support
- Countdown timer
- Stopwatch
- Get notifications in your status bar
- See current timers in your status bar
- The new Android design on all devices from version 2.3.3 Gingerbread
You got pro?
If you get the pro version (which is awesome) you can save and reuse timers, this is really sweet and well worth 1$, since you support me and the development.
With pro you can start multiple countdown timers and stopwatches at the same time, save them, name them and reuse them. It's also ad free, phew.
You got a widget?
Nope.
But it would be a cool feature to add in the future.
Get the app
Download free version on Google Play here.
This is a lite version of TimeSwipe limited to 1 timer.

Please tell me what you think about it and possible enhancements. I'm up for everything
I'm working on it constantly but at this point I'm starting to need some feedback.
Hope you'll like it

Maybe you want to post it there...

Okey will do. Thank you.

I would post in the new thread but it's not up yet. I've been using this app for a couple days and it works great, clean simple interface and easy to use. I love it. I would like it if in the notification bar the timers could be separated out and not say "two timers running". Also the ability to name them would be awesome. I'm always having to set multiple timers at work and this works great.

I cant post in that forum yet since havent been member that long. But I'm glad you like it and are using it daily
I have thought about showing two notifications when running but it cant be done unless I start up two foreground services, and that wouldn't be good for battery, if its even possible. I'm gonna try a workaround to this because I see the benefit of this feature.
I'm thinking of two renaming options:
1. The ability to set a name on a timer just like that.
2. The ability to save timers (with name) and get some history, though this solution would only work for count-down timers.
Thank you for your feedback, this keeps me going for a while In the next update it's possible to change to the dark theme, gonna be released tonight.

The new theme looks nice :good:. Is it possible to kill the alarm sound like a regular alarm? For example, you set the alarm time to go off for 30 seconds it'll keep ringing no matter what for 30 seconds, even after unlocking the phone and deleting the alarm. Sometimes the default 3 seconds isnt enough since it doesn't loop, and you're not in the room. Or if its in your pocket and it keeps ringing for a long time.

Yeah I know about your concerns and I have tried to figure out a good solution to this. Unfortunate you cant create a alertdialog like the built in alarm, since it has to be inside the app. (You dont want an alarm dialog to popup during a game) but maybe I could view a alertdialog when the user is in the app. Or add a stop alarm button.

New version
Hi all
I have updated TimeSwipe free with a few fixes.
I removed the guide when you run the app for the first time.
The alarm should work better now and you can cancel it if you set an alarm interval greater then 4 seconds. This is also better explained in settings now.
I also added the option to not view the current timer in the notification since this updates the notification every second it can start blinking when used with other apps. So its now possible to disable that feature.
I also did a big updated of the paid version.
You can now save and rename your timers, and its super easy to access them from the side menu so you can reuse the timers over and over again. The fixes in the free version also applies on the paid version.
Hope you like the updates, and please give me feedback.
Btw, do you guys think there should be the same functionality in the free version as in the paid, but with ads? What is a good practice here?

Great news everyone!
I just added tablet support which will work on 7" and 10" displays. I also fixed the layout for phones, or rather, people with big phones
I realy hope you will enjoy TimeSwipe on your tablet as much as on your phone.
Keep me posted with feature requests or bug reports.
I updated the thread with a cool image on a tablet aswell

Cheers,

Nice and sleek design. Love the app functionalities.
There's a bug though. Whenever you start a timer, pause it, delete it and then create another. The pause button remains to "play"

Beautiful! I don't have the issue of pause button remains to play, running on Pantech A850L Stock 4.1.2

Very nice) I also don't have problems with pause button on my samsung galaxy s

@kayusumi/@Balter could you please try this steps to be sure the pause/play button is working?
Start a timer, tap on pause (the time flash and the button turn as play), when still in pause delete the timer with the trashcan, set a new timer, and you should see the PLAY button instead of the pause.
Could you confirm this bug?
Thanks you all.
Sandro, Pizza Entertainment

Ok, if doing so, the new timer would start with a play button
I am sorry that I didn`t see "pause it", I just delete it when running and create a new one

Wow!!!!
Beautiful Timer got a mini review on Android Police (with 40 other apps but it is ANDROID POLICE!!!)
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-the-last-2-weeks-61813-7313/#beautiful-timer
Thanks a lot.

Very nice looking timer Has some very nice features and options too.
I had some questions and suggestions:
Questions:
1. Will you be adding customizable colours to the timer wheel by any chance? (Like you can change the timer name, be able to customize the colour too.)
2. Are there any small widgets (eg: 1x1) that can show the time remaining on a/the particular timer(s)? I did notice you have a larger widget for selecting/starting saved timers, but that's not what I'm after. I would like to see a small widget that simply shows the Timer name, circle icon remaining and time remaining.
Suggestion: I would like to be able to link timers together (ie: Expiry of Timer 1 sounds the alarm and starts Timer 2. Timer 2 could be linked to start Timer 3, or even a new instance of Timer 1 (and increment/ decrement a user defined counter?).) Yes, this sounds similar to a Tabata timer, but that's not the intent.
I have recently needed to use an icepack due to injury and I haven't been able to find a good timer that can link timers together.
The use case is as follows: 20 mins of icepack, 120 mins of rest, 5 mins of prep, repeat. If I could link timers together, I could easily manage this without having to keep restarting the timers each time.
Thanks.

Widget oddity
Hi,
I created some presets with the timer which I have now deleted as I don't want to use them anymore. For some reason, these presets always appear when I put the widget on the desktop. They aren't appearing in the app itself though.
This has occurred even after installing on a new device (must be linked to my Google account or may be related to a Titanium backup). I've tried clearing app data / reinstalling but they still appear. Is there anyway to clear the presets from the widget?
Thanks.
James

Hello James,
we do use google data backup so that the presets should be saved on the cloud. It may be that you hit a very strange bug where you can't delete it. Keep trying to delete the presets within the app. Eventually google will sync your presets and you'd be ready to go.
Cheers.

Hi,
I have been using your timer for close to TEN years - love it!!! - especially the snooze buttons when the app is alarming.
But I was using it on an Android 5 phone.
I recently moved to an android 10 phone (Pixel 4a) and your app has some significant issues:
1) It will no longer snooze when you press the volume buttons.
2) It does not reliably turn on the display when the phone is locked
3) It does not show your full-screen alarm page when the phone is locked.
4) After I unlock my phone, your alarm page only has a "Dismiss" button on that screen - there is no "restart" or "Snooze" buttons on it.
So, is there any chance of you updating your app to work with the newer versions of Android?

[APP][2.2+] LockScreen One Touch For All 1.20

ABOUT
Mobile application LockScreen One Touch for all is unique in combining the functions of protection the access (Security) and fast access to the integrated applications, calls (QuickLink). Typically, applications having function QuickLink and Security, provide their separate use - first choice of integrated application, and then type the password, or vice versa. While our software allows you to combine these functions into one.
With just one touch of the unlocking screen, LockScreen will allow you to unlock your phone and enable you too:
• Open any app on your phone;
• Call any one of your 6 favourite numbers;
• Dial the last number;
• View your contacts list;
• View your recent calls log.

FEATURES
Standard features:
• Adding any installed application icons on the LockScreen;
• Protection from removal / disabling malicious programs;
• Placement of any widget with a maximum size of 4x2 tile on the screen;
• The status bar is modified by our designer;
• Integrated wallpaper from the collection;
• Customise backgrounds of drop icons.
When you activate premium options you get additional features such as:
• Flashlight;
• Install additional themes to unlocking screen;
• Disable the ads.
Video
IMPORTANT
Security: The password can be very simple from 2 icons to as many as you would like. After your password was entered your finger goes to a program icon, desktop icon or a phone function icon to start it. This movement makes your password appear differently every time you use different function and therefore indistinguishable for an outside viewer.
Speed: Access to any application or window is quicker than using the standard unlock procedure.
Time: You save 100 minutes or more every month on unlocking your phone with this app (assuming economy of 5+ seconds comparing to each time you enter 4 digits password, open your phone, go to favourites and call one of the favourite numbers).
Convenience: This app makes it easy to enter your password and use your phone. Entering the password will now be an enjoyable experience!

Sorted. I remembered I have a custom recovery, so I loaded AromaFM and deleted the apk. Which also shows me that I need the stock lockscreen, or anyone else who wants access to my phone (and knows how to use a recovery, or search XDA) could do the same thing.

Piano Lockscreen
Maybe a piano lockscreen? :cyclops::good:

I really like the idea of this app, and I'm keep testing.
Maybe a setting to display the current "original" status bar would be nice.
Good work! :good:

Function
Hello,
THX. Nice soft.
I am using this with HTC Sense. (HTC one X)
I als use a VPN so i have to unlock with a pattern, pin or password.
The first times i unlock the screen with this soft it bypasses the pattern screen.
After a while it only passes the lockscreen and i have to unlock with the additional pattern.
What could be wrong ?
Restarting my phone solves it, again for a while.

Thanks for your good comment
To provide a high level of security original status bar was disabled. The original status bar allows you to go into the notifications center where you can get into the phone and bypass the protection.
Also in LockScreen you can swipe on the status bar to enable a flashlight, if you buy a premium option.

Can you configure a VPN soft to save the password for the network and disable the password on lock screen to enter the phone?
If you can do it, then you will enter a password to access the phone only once in program LockScreen.
What program do you use for VPN?

mhm, yeah the security point is a good point
The main reason I want the "original" is for adjusting the brightness. Maybe this would be a better solution than starting the flashlight? Or add the possibility to change this in the settings.
I had it once, that the flashlight startet glowing in my pocket for at least 30 minutes. (But not with your app)

From which app icon you release your finger so this app is run.
In one action:
1. Enter the password (don’t release of your finger)
2. Pass a finger over a screen to the app icon you want to run (don’t release of your finger)
3. Release your finger - the program will start
If you want to get into the phone's menu - stage 3 Release your finger on the icon with the keyhole.

and how do you backup/transfer your apps to a new device?
normally, you just copy the app folder to a new device.
what happens if an app is protected with this service?

If I was to uninstall Lockdown Pro and reinstall...
Firstly would the private gallery still be accessible or would I lose all my pictures?

And no, the app is not useless. This adds yet another layer of difficulty in accessing your phone & info.

I'm not trying to knock it, but considering my girl was able to boot into safemode and access my locked apps.....
If she knew what safemode even was, then some who is actually tech savvy would definitely know how to bypass it.
On a side note, I made a bet with my girl that she could not get into my locked apps and lost, though the money I make, the check might be in my name, but it her money lol

Locked Out
Hi, I used LockdownPro to lockdown all apps on a Samsung Galaxy a couple of years ago.
I ended up not using the tablet and it's sat in a box for two years!.
When I turned it on today, I could not remember the Lockdown Pro passcode.
I can't access emails, settings or anything to try to amend.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks for your help,

Is this dead

There seems to be a small conflict? with Nova Launcher. When you click on resent apps, LDP comes up as it's supposed to, but after you clear the list & hit Home or Back...it pops up again.

[App] [7.0+] Access Dots - Android 12 / iOS 14 privacy indicators (Cam/Mic/GPS) for all!

Download now from Google Play Store! If you like the App, please leave a review on Play Store! ​
Hey Guys! Developer of Energy Bar/Ring/Notch here! Just done developing a cool little App which basically ports the Android 12 / iOS 14's indicators for camera and microphone access, to Android, all the way down to Android 7.0! (Bonus: GPS Location access monitoring included.)
Did you know that once you grant access to your phone's camera/microphone/GPS location to any third-party App, they can use it silently in the background?
And do you feel envious about the new iOS 14's privacy feature - shows an indicator whenever camera or microphone is accessed? Or you can't wait for Android 12's implementation of the same feature?

Presenting Access Dots for Android, supporting all the way down to Android 7.0!
Access Dots, adds the same iOS 14 style indicators (few pixels light up as a dot) to the top right (default) corner of your screen whenever any third-party App uses your phone's camera/microphone/GPS location. Access Dots will be visible even on your lockscreen!
Configuring the App is as simple as enabling the Access Dots Accessibility Service. By default the App is configured to show iOS 14 style colored access dots - green for camera access, orange for microphone access and blue for GPS location. The App itself does NOT request for access to camera or microphone, however, to be able to monitor GPS access by any App, 'Access Dots' require GPS location permission.
​
Access Dots is in early BETA, under development, so far it has the following features:
● Display Access Dots whenever phone's camera/microphone/GPS location is engaged by a third-party App.
● Maintain an Access Log, which can be accessed from the App's main settings screen. The Access Log shows when the camera/microphone/GPS location was accessed, which App was in foreground at the time of access initiation and how long did the access last.
● Assign any color to either of the Access Dots.
● On Android 10+, Access Dots by default sticks beside your camera cutout (if your device has.) You can configure the location of Access Dots to the point of specifying X/Y coordinates.
● If your device supports 'Energy Ring - Universal Edition!' App, then you can wrap Access Dots around the punch hole camera as well.
● The size of Access Dots can be adjusted.
Access Dots integration with 'Energy Ring - Universal Edition!':
While it's free to change the Access Dots' color to whatever you want, consider making a donation to support the development and have access to few extra configurations like changing the 'size' of the dot or its location on the screen.
Note: Please make sure the App is whitelisted under any kind of optimization setting your device has, if the App is killed from background by the System, you may have to restart phone to get the Access Dots active again.

Sounds cool and powerful!! Its necessary for a better privacy experience.

Yes! Will update as soon as it's published!
Here is a .gif of Access Dots in action on Instagram App:

Can't wait to try this cool stuff.

Great!

It would be amazing to have a little circle around the camera holes.
But it's an amazing app, can't wait for the Play Store link !

Will the app also show witch app accessed the camera and when?

is it possible to do it with the help of notification led instead of showing it on screen?

Sadly a nessesary tool while so many apps take hidden access to cam or mic...
well done, a great idea that tool!!
A LED as alternative sign only single phones would have a benefit, except a OP7pro which has Horizon Light instead of, or similar phones
So your dots are the best choice as sinal or indicator ??

I've actually recently published an app which mimics ios 14 feature on playstore but lacked the exposure. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skybloouu.micspy

Since this is using Accessibility Service can it introduce some lag? Especially in older devices.

Great idea. Would it be possible to add Location Access Dot as well?

I am considering all of the above ideas for future versions of the App!

Not planning at the moment, the App should be up on Play Store soon, due to COVID, the review is taking time I suppose.

I don't expect any, as the service itself doesn't listen for any kind of events from the App in use.

Usually the Apps doesn't/can't request Location access and automatically turn it off, so would be hard to isolate which App has accessed Location, may require some hacking around. Not planning for the time being.

Its great idea. Is there workaround to use phone's own notification leds instead of statusbar.
Even if not. Its good as many apps suspicious asks for so many permissions.

Excited
Now i won't have to install and keep the apps to block camera/microphone.

Namaste. So where's the link, sir?

Sounds /lookes like a Great app! Subscribed to the thread!

Amazing!!
Waiting for it to be published!.
