App Info:
.apk
I created this app using Tasker in conjuction with Tasker App Factory
I have provided a .apk file that can be installed if you enable the option "Install From Unknown Source" in system settings.
Once the app is installed, in order for certain aspects of the popup to display properly, you must first enable its accessibility setting, which can be accessed from opening the app.
.xml
I have also provided the project's .xml which can be imported into Tasker and used through Tasker, just as it would in app form.
Once imported, the project is able to be edited and customized to your needs.
By all means, make any modifications you like, BUT if you do many any edits and post it publicly, please refer back to this thread, site it appropriately and give me credit for what i have created.
How to import.
Known Bugs
*When using the "Press Enter to send" option, a new line is shown when enter is pressed, though the blank line is not actually sent in the message.*
*When two texts are received within half a second, the second text may not display correctly.*
*Screens with different resolution/dpi/size will cause the popup to have a different size/location.*
It can only handle texts from up to 5 different people.
*Unable to scroll through large texts.
*Cannot be fixed at the moment due to Tasker limitations*

In Tasker, go to preferences and uncheck beginner mode. Then you will be able to drag downward from the top of the screen to show your projects tab. Long press on the default project tab which is a house icon, and select import.

Thanks, now if I'm not mistaken after I reply to a text it's supposed to mark it as read in the default messaging app correct? If so it's not doing it for me

Unfortunately I was unable to incorporate that into the app. Tasker is unable to set that explicitly. I did find a workaround in which after you have sent a message, i could open the default SMS app for a couple seconds, then close it again which would clear the notifications. But going through that process each time you have replied to a message would be messy and could cause more problems.

the accessibility option enables the app to see when a window change has been made. I used this to have it properly show and hide the composing window and change the message icon to a send icon. It was the only way i could determine if the user had pressed the back button to close the compose window which tasker cannot monitor, but it CAN monitor if the window has been changed.
In tasker this is demonstrated by the "Compose Off" profile which uses the event "New Window * Any"
As far as i know that is the only reason it needs the accessibility option. You can turn it off and test if there are any other effects besides using the back soft-key on the compose window.

I use SMS popup for notifications yes.

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

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

[APP][4.1+] Notifyer Unread Count

Notification Access
Notifyer is now able to use Android's Notification Listener Service (Android 4.4+) to provide a more accurate unread count for the majority of apps. Choose between Notification Access or Accessibility in the count behaviour options for each widget. Accessibility may still work better for certain apps.
Beta Testing
Notification access is now available in the beta channel and provides a much enhanced experience. Any help to test out this crucial new feature will allow me to get it released and then to move on to some nice new features and improvements! Notifyer now also uses Material theming and provides better adjustment options to correctly align Notifyer widgets.
PM me if you're interested in beta testing.
Thanks
​
Notifyer
Hi everyone, here's my app Notifyer. Provides a notification bubble over your app icons like on iOS.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.cornwall_solutions.notifyer
Notifyer runs as a Notification Listener Service and/or as an Accessibility Service, you just replace your regular app icons with 1x1 Notifyer widgets and then choose which app to monitor. Settings are provided to adjust for alignment, size etc to blend in with your launcher.
Cheers guys, let me know what you think.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Disable Auto Photos upload Notifications?

Is there a way to disable the Photos (Google+) Autobackup notification? it's driving me CRAZY , every single time I'm on wifi and the app uploads my pictures I get a freaking notification! on the settings there's no option to disable the notifications, All I could think of what's disabling the notifications of the app altogether but turns out "Photos" it's not really an standalone app, It's just google+ so if i disable the notifications I would disable all the Google+ notifications , any ideas?

Have you tried going into Settings > Apps > All installed apps > Select the app > Click show notifications and make sure it's checked off?

Its actually in Google+ settings. Select your email. Then notifications. Scroll down to photos. Uncheck "photos added from auto backup."

I have that box unchecked, but I still get the unread notification count on the Google notifications bell. I don't get a notification in the notification bar, but it's still annoying to see that you have an unread notification, only to discover that it's a photo that was backed up.

I might be stupid, but I can find it. When you write "your account", do you mean the "Account"-link you see when you press your profile picture? If so, what then? I can't see any links to "notifications" there?

You are not alone. LOL. This stupid red bell poping up on my gmail on my desktop every single f* time my Nexus 5 auto backs up a photo is also driving me nuts!! Does any one have any idea how to switch that off?
Just to be clear, I am talking about a red google+ bell when I am using gmail or google on my laptop, not on my Nexus 5.
And the trick suggested by Xxul (G+ -> your account -> notifications -> photos category - photos added frm auto backup) does not seem to work. See the attached picture. No "photos added frm auto backup"' option there.

Ah, I was also confused. It turns out he meant the Google+ Android application on your phone.
open Google+ App -> [android menu button] settings -> Account settings [select your Google account] -> Notifications -> [scroll down to photos section] unclick "Photos added from Auto Backup".

:silly::silly:

Seriously annoying. I don't mind so much the notification but having the phone make a loud noise and vibrate every time I get home after I've taken a photo. Really? Is that necessary? On the same screen (g+, setting, yourEmail, notifications) you can change the ringtone to none and uncheck the vibrate box. This gives a notification that's not quite so in your face.

The worst thing is that Google DOES NOT TELL YOU THIS!
I'm glad I clicked the XDA link in my search....as this was driving me crazy. I'm a slow pic taker, and while I love the idea of it being backed up for me....I hate thinking I received an email only to see it was Google telling me it uploaded my pic.

[APP][TUT] Google Dialer in Moto X

GOOGLE DIALER
Google's Dialer With Built-in Search Is Exclusive To Nexus And GPE Devices, But You Can Install It Manually On Other KitKat ROMs
DO AT YOUR OWN RISK! THE XDA-DEVELOPERS FORUM AND I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE!
Of all the announced*new features of the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4/KiKat, one of the cooler ones was a new dialer colloquially known as the "KitKat dialer." It features a revamped UI and includes the ability to search for businesses, contacts, etc. right from inside the dialer. It also features*internet-based caller ID. The name "KitKat dialer," however, is not entirely accurate.
Background:
Google Dialer (its official name) is not technically part of KitKat because it is not included in AOSP. It is a closed-source alternative to the regular AOSP dialer, much in the way that Google Play Music replaces the AOSP music app and Chrome replaces the AOSP browser. The name "KitKat dialer" refers to the fact that Google launched it on the Nexus 5, which was KitKat's launch device.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Unlike one of the other new apps introduced alongside KitKat, the Google Experience Launcher -*which is a Nexus 5 exclusive*- Google actually saw fit to release its revamped dialer application to other Nexus and Google Play Edition phones. Unfortunately, outside of that universe the dialer is unavailable, at least officially. At some time down the road, Google could easily decide to offer it through the Play Store but there's no indication of that happening in the foreseeable future. Until that day arrives, you can install it manually.
Installation Procedure:
Before beginning, you must be rooted and running either an official or custom KitKat ROM on your phone. Google Dialer will not install on any version of Android prior to 4.4.
Download either the APK file or the flashable ZIP file using the links at the bottom of this post. The APK was pulled directly from a Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.2.Flash the ZIP file in a custom recovery, or copy the APK file directly into /system/priv-app.If you opted to move the APK file manually, you'll need to set the permissions on the APK to 644 after moving it into its proper folder. Do this either through your file manager app or via a shell.Reboot your phone.
Possible Problems And Questions:
During tests on various phones and settings, found some issues that are worth mentioning, and some questions that some of you will probably have.
Can this be installed without root?
This question can only be answered with another question. Do you want to be able to make calls? While yes, the app can be installed without root, it requires permissions that are only available to apps that are signed with a platform key or installed in /system/priv-app. What that means in practical terms is that if you install the app without root, the actual searching function will work, but you will not be able to make calls.
I installed the app but the icon doesn't show up in my app. What can I do?
If this happens on your phone, the only solution we found was to use Nova Launcher because it has a feature that allows you to run a specific activity within an app. To set this up:
01-Within Nova Launcher, long-press on the home screen.
02-Choose "Shortcuts"
03-Select "Activities"
04-Find "Google Dialer" in the list, then tap to open it up, and select "Phone" (use the first one in the list)
This will put a shortcut to the dialer on your home screen. At this stage, you can use this to access Google Dialer. It's not the cleanest solution, but it does work.
Can I disable my default dialer?
The short answer is no. As a general rule, you will need to keep your present dialer enabled in order to receive calls. The long answer is that on some phones you might be able to disable your stock dialer, but on others you definitely cannot. Feel free to try it on your own device and let us know what your results are.
Download:
Here are both a flashable ZIP file as well as the lone APK file. If you want to flash in recovery, use the ZIP file. If old-school is more your thing, download the APK and put it in /system/priv-app manually.

Xposed / Gravity Box (KK) is able to do that.
I have my status bar in a nice green-themed color, and I just LOVE having network upload/download speeds in the status bar itself....
Good Luck

So if your leaving the original dialer in place this means incoming calls will not get the benefit of the google dialer caller id... correct?

I'm still testing it, but I believe with a automator function as Tasker can solve this. Create a specific profile and choose which app should run for receiving calls. Come on trying!

NO NO didnt mean to sound like I was complaining was simply trying to outline what it could and could not do in this configuration. The search feature that lets you find local places in the dialer works great and getting rid of that ugly themed 443 dialer are huge plusses all by themselves

Got it bro. Relax! No problem! Actually installed it last night and to tell the truth and hardly mechi. I know it works! If he does not receive the call because the existence of the default dialer, just automate it into action when the phone rings and disable the standard for receipt of calls.

At least in my Moto X update was not not. Already running 4.4.3 and has no options Google Dialer. From what I researched this dialer is unique to Nexus. But it is working on my device now.

Agreed the 443 dialer is the same dialer as 442 just themed differently with white and bright blue, no addition google features.

If you miss a call and then choose the google dialer history, does the history button in the google dialer start working?
