HTC Dot View Case - HTC One M8 for Windows

So I will be the first to bite. I have the Dot View case and since I have both the android and wiindows M8's I figured I would share what I like and don't like. Well its easy windows is exactly the same expect there is a few more notifications and windows does not have any themes. Themes would be cool but I don't see a way for them to update the app so Idk if we will get them lol. Anyone else have any thoughts

I'd like to see how the interface looks on the windows phone version and how it handles notifications compared to the Android m8.

Here is a picture of the settings menu and a link to a YouTube video. I will snap a picture of the notifications in the morning. Found another annoyance. When you close the case it goes to the dot view mode before turning off the screen my OCD makes me press the power button everytime lol

works the same as the android case if you have ever used it. Case doesnt offer alot of protection and you have to clean your phone from all the particles that get inbetween the case and the phone. other then that i love it. still using it if that says anything

I've got some pics in the thread in my sig. They are all screenshots, but its good enough.
Beyond that, anyone should be able to make a third party/cheap case. All it uses is a small magnet in the case and a sensor under the screen to activate it.

does dot view works iafter windows 10 update?

Desire Lockscreen

The GSM Hero guys have it working, figured it's probably a fairly easy port for someone.
Original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676259
The working(for them) update.zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6806909&postcount=25
Example video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vfXrqa0UwY @ 1:01
The Desire Lockscreen when swiped down slides only the bar, not the entire wallpaper+bar which results in a much nicer looking unlock.
Anyway we could get this ported over? I'm running Fresh 2.3.3.
EDIT: I tried pushing it via ADB. It works, technically. Only the bar slides down. However the graphics are all buggy But it is much smoother!
probably cause its a higher res app. Needs to be reduced to what the lockscreen app in our roms are at. Meaning resize the pngs in the app to match the size of our lower Res lockscreen app
whats so special bout the lockscreen?

No i was with him. I watched the video and didn't see anything special. For the time it took you to type this you could have simply told him what the difference was.
The difference is...in the desire it pulls just the lock bar down. Not the picture as well.
I would be interested in this.

I believe the original post covers the features of the lock screen. So he could have read it.

I guess I do not know how to take this comment. I would like to think you are actually thanking me for pointing something out, but it definitely appears to be sarcasm. At any rate, I was simply pointing out that the features had been listed in text, and that if someone watches the video and doesn't understand maybe it's time for said person to read the description.

Wow this thread got real crazy real fast Anyways imo I think that since it's just the htc lockscreen in the update zip than i'm gonna guess that is whats going to need to be changed. I adb pushed it and although it is really crazy I still like it.
decompiled the apk with apk manager
Looking for something like This?
Thats what im looking to do bro, hook that up!

Request for a picture from someone who does not have backlight bleed

Okay, I know we have lots of threads with people posting pictures of their bleed screen. I want to request one member atleast who does NOT have bleed to post a picture of his screen here. I personally am getting a second G2x and since this is like my first phone in over 5 years, I'd like to have a picture ready for comparison when I get my replacement.
You could use this as a test page.
http://i.imgur.com/c4rkX.png
Alternatively, telekNesis has made a wonderful app for this exact purpose. Use that.
http://teleknesis.net/Android/APKs/ScreenBleedTest.apk
I've attached 2 images of my screen. One from far away, and one in close up. The camera brightness gets wonky when its far away, so a closeup is most recommended, and I'd like to compare this.
I would but my phone is the only camera I have at work
can post one in a couple hours
EDIT: See new pic

Maris_ said:
I used SketchBook Pro and painted the screen black, set it as my wallpaper, used LauncherPro to hide the Navigation Bar, then took a screenshot in a dark room. As far as I can tell, I don't have any unusual backlight bleed. True, it isn't the deep black my Nexus One would have had, but considering this phone is backlit, I think I'm OK. (I hope this dropbox link works)

OK, what you are seeing is normal. On some apps and screens, its a notification that you cannot swipe further. I think apple called it some sort of rubber band and android had it switch to a different way of this notification due to patent issues.

Well, the white effect from the top and bottom in most apps, and the blue effect on the sides in the Gallery are a design feature of Android. Just like how iOS has its bounce back effect, Android has this 'holo' thing going for it.

wow,I have been using my HTC one s for a year and a half,and my daughters htc one,and my neighbors nexus 7,and have never seen it.It is really prominent on my phone and fugly...it looks broken,haha,like a speaker magnet sucking my TV screen...can I disable it?
That's because the HTC One S and One run the HTC Sense skin, and don't even run a stock Google OS.
I came from the One S myself... radio broke badly after a failed Maxiums 10 install.
The "glow" is new, kinda weirded me out at first but I've got used to it.
Thank you everyone,every thread has it's good and bad points.
Good point...phone is not broken and I don't have to send it back.
Good point...I have 10 posts so links and pictures will be easier,lol.
Bad point....Realized I am stuck with this ugly feature on my phone...
Time to learn some customizing.

Looks like whatever rom you are running has the old xhdpi calculator from ics/jb judging by the grey bars on the side of the screen. So you have both ICS blue holo and the new white kit kat over scroll glow at the same time. #blametheromdev
good day.

The ROM I am running is what it shipped with from google play..:
Ok, I was wrong on the rom. But you did something to the phone to cause the issue. True stock doesn't look like that. Perhaps an LCD density change that you did?

[Q] HTC Dotview hacking ??

So I'm seeing all these images pop up with games and even other apps running on the dot view case but nothing always hit a road block
Anyone know if the developer ever released the apk or what happend like can it still be done ??
( Sorry if this isn't were it belongs its an honest question so I would think Q & A was fitting)
Nobody??
Not that I know of. There's always the chance these are just static images with the dot view app disabled

I've been using the app since he released. Keep in mind that the google play link that was posted was only the key for the app for some added features. As for the notifications, he just had the icon for the app pop up on the screen. If that makes any sense. The dot view case itself with those dots on it makes it look okay, but no work was done for the notifications themselves; the apps icon just displays on screen. I have no way of taking a photo or else i would to show what I mean.
