Good Day everyone,
We would like to introduce our first widget here to gather feedback from all the android user/developers in the forum.
Basically the concept is to provide a huge/big contact widget to make it earsier for user to make phone call under certain condition. (driving, or fast call using single hand). Beside that, this we also provide the features for user to choose their own skin/frames of preferences.
Below are the official description in the Market:
Create Simple Life - Add your favourite contact to your homescreen.
With this, a call or SMS to your favourite contact is just a touch away.
Boring with the dull Android call widget?
We provide you the option to choose your own preference of skin for your widget.
Feature Details:
1. Add 4 favourite contacts to homescreen
2. Option to choose either CALL, SMS or both action for ONE Touch event.
3. Option to choose your own preference of skin for the widget. (Random features also included)
4. Now you can make a phone call with 'speaker on' by just clicking on your contact.
As we still new here, we cannot include any screenshot and download link in this forum. Sorry.
You can download it by searching for "Contactz" in the market.
If you like it, please support us by giving your high rate in Google Market, recommending to your friends and forums.
On the other hand, we are looking forward to receiving your feedback and comment,we will keep working and make improvement from current version.
Please reply to this thread if there is any issue. We really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
Just as an update, we had just release a new version which have features as below:
1. Option to choose "Call with Speaker On".
2. Support contact with multiple phone numbers.
3. New features to crop contact photo to prevent unwanted image scaling.
Please email us if you have any issue
Help us to rate it if you like it. Thanks
I haven't tried it but it sounds like a great widget! Thanks! I'll be sure to keep my eye on this one just in case I need it.
Pretty good.
Works well on my HTC. Pretty useful when driving.
Keep it up!
Hi All,
February 3rd, is known as Spring Festival or Chinese New Year for the Chinese. In order to celebrate it, we release four very special and unique skins for Contactz.
Hope you all like it.
Help us to rate it if you like it.
Thanks
p/s: Valentine skin is coming very soon.

No go on HTC Desire with Oxygen RC7
Couldn't get it to work on my HTC Desire with Oxygen RC7 and LauncherPro Plus.
The widget seems to work OK but when I click "Done" there's no widget added to my home screen.
Only thing I would say is that when choosing the skin I wanted it clear so I chose no skin, but there's still a border around the widget. Also there's no option to change the colour of the contactz part to bring the options up, pretty hard to see black font on a black background. Another option you could release is an option to delete their names and just have the contacts pictures.

Nice app even nothings new. I dont like the skins. Some more minimal wil be appreciated.
The icon are to much big so this cause problems when I resize the widget.
1,93Mb are really to much for a simple widget.
I think that with small image contact space and nice interface it can be better.
For now I use Sense again.
Nice, useful!

Hi MrFrem82,
Thanks for the feedback. Your i5500 is running on Eclair 2.1 right?
Our widget was set to support SDK 1.5 and above, so basically it should apple to support for your phone.
Thanks

Hi kroogar,
This widget require the whole screen, so if there is not enough empty space on the screen, the widget will fail to be added.
Hope this will help

Hi SxcKieranGrr,
Thanks for the feedback. We will look into this new options.
Love this widget... thank you so much. Especially love the animation.
I'd like to make a request for consideration.... For those contacts with multiple numbers can a box like the "Call & SMS Option" with those numbers be displayed for selection? Up to 3 numbers would be great if screen estate permits.
Thanks again for an awesome widget.
Been looking for a widget like this!
Awesome widget! Works great on my Dell streak. I've been looking for a contacts widget like this with the single tap execute along with the eye candy. So far the "no frame" and "default frame" are my fav. My least fav frame is the "iphone". lol, it looks ok.
Suggestions:
-Create the option for a single contact w/frame as a 2x2 widget.
-More frame options to choose from. Maybe some other popular phone frames besides the iphone.
Thanks again.
Would like to try but it's hidden from my SGS Vibrant in the actual Market app. When I attempt install from the web based market, it says that my device is incompatible. Oh well.
Couldn't find it on android market. From web market was unable to download. using wildfire cm7. is it possible to upload the apk?
thank you guys. Nice app and love to try.
Hi All,
First of all, thanks for all the support and feedback.
We will work harder to made the application better and move to the next level.
As for now, we want to share with you all about our new released "HoneyComb" series of skin. We have Angry-HoneyComb and 2 others skins.

ICS SMS is a replacement for the stock Messaging app, for those that want the vanilla Holo theme, with or without stock ICS. Currently only supports SMS (Sorry no MMS yet guys!) and aims to provide a minimalistic SMS app, that fits in with the rest of the Ice-Cream Sandwich look and feel.
This app is still in beta, and being actively developed on (unfortunately its not my day job though) so bear this in mind with any feedback!
Download it now from the play store!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidproductions.ics.sms
Any bug reports you have PLEASE attach a logcat of whats going on - it makes the whole process a lot easier!
Any feature requests stick them in a reply here, or get in touch direct, and I'll see about getting it included!
Features
usual messaging features - Wouldn't be a messaging app without one!
POPUP DIALOG!
Customizable notifications
6 Different themes
Ability to disable other messaging notifications (NOTE: This doesn't always play well with GoSMS)
Notification Privacy Mode - Don't display a received message in notifications
'In reply to...' - See what the last message you sent to a person was - straight from the dialog
Call direct from SMS view
SMS Forwarding
Willing to do some more involved testing? Send me a PM, and I'll add you to the list of testers that get development versions of the app before it gets put into the market.

Preliminary MMS integration. Can now view MMS within the app [ALPHA APP ONLY]
Known Issues
No notifications/popups for MMS
Need to download MMS items from stock messaging app
Outside of a few bugs I am pleasantly suprised by this. Obviously Mms support is a huge must, all these new beta messaging apps coming out also miss Mms support so if you want to beat the rush you better work on that quick. Other than that, using the ics framework background that you do, isnt so nice with the new theme engines as whatever background your using gets some interesting themeing images sometimes.
As a praise im loving the pop up, its almost exactly what im looking for the only thing I would like more is if it it was stretched out to full edge of screen but less width and lifted to the top, like miuis pop up. All the pop up add ons are in the middle nowadays except miui's and miui's does it right.
I also LOVE your in reply too button, being able to see the last thing I said real quick is freaking awesome!
Love the idea of being able to do a quick reply for the pop up instead of pressing reply in order to reply. But it could be better if it could sync the contact pictures (facebook) or maybe have a widget for the app.
man can u make a stock ics messaging theme. i really like the app cant wait till it has mms support
Mms is definitely the most requested feature, so that's the next thing that's going to appear in the app. Only problem is that I can't test it myself with my phone plan, so I will have to rely on others for testing. Mms viewing will be the first release, and sending will be second.
Thanks for all the feedback so far! Glad to see its appreciated.

great app!
just wish you could control font size for near sighted people.
Good, But missing mms and Facebook contact photo sync. Theme and extra features are new otherwise identical feature wise to tim hutts version on market, of which I like the light theme better myself. Also lacks feature of clicking on contact picture in thread to bring up their contact info. I don't care for it but I did notice. Reading white on a black background hurts my eyes. In the theme could you maybe give a light or dark option? At least in thread view, in thread select dark is fine. Maybe consider doing that nice striped background from the aosp dialer or holomusic on background of thread select?
I love devs that keep up on their work and I hope you are working diligently to get mms at least working.
Thanks!

Nice app, works very smoothly. The UI is nice too. My only thought is that the font size is a bit large, but overall I'm using it over the stock ics messaging app.

Id love to test it for you, my brother and I live together and both have unlimited messaging and plenty of data to spare, we both have gnexus and both are rooted so we are damn similar except he uses go sms. I can be the sender or receiver at any time and actually be using the network or wifi. Send me a PM
Edit- the Themes only seem to theme the receiver text and the text in the conversation list. Its nice for someone who doesnt use a custom theme engine but for the most part is a lil outdated, I would suggest opening up a cm9/7 theme engine apk and using the included framework info there so that, your sms app themes with the theme engine, a first since the included sms default app only has like 10% ability to be themed (NOTE - it already does this at like 60%, it just needs alot of clean up so that all themes make it look wonderful). Maybe add this as an option right along with the holo themes you have? Also the pop ups need a Mark as read button so that the Notification will clear from the status bar. And as mentioned before, the worst thing that can happen for a pop up is to pop up right in the middle of everything, move it up and out of the way, and if this is possible, when in landscape mode make it wrap to the top and left borders? I dont know any system that does that, and it moves itself the most out of the way from say a movie or something that your watching on the phone.
Looks great, I just wish it supported MMS but I will definitely use it when it does!

This and emoji. Nice work!
Just downloaded it and played with it for a bit. So far, it's looking pretty good!
I know it's still being worked on, but here's a couple feature suggestions:
1) Ability to add multiple contacts to recipients. I send "mass" texts all the time, whether it be to 2 people or 20 people.
2) Ability to set a ring tone or vibration for the notification.
Great start though! Can't wait for mms to be built in, and to see the progression of this app!
Using the included phone dialer if I tell it go to SMS it force closes and if I use ex dialer then it goes to a new SMS for existing names. The difference being ex dialer sends it with parentheses and a dash and your SMS app doesn't include those when looking up numbers

Notify Me!
v1.9.1 16.12.2013
Did you ever look at an iOS device as it got a notification? Have you ever noticed that the screen lights up and that the notification can be displayed on the lock screen and thought that you would love to see that happen on your Android™ device? Well, I did and thus created this app - my first complete Android™ app.
It lets you create a list of apps that are allowed to light the screen up and show their notifications on it as a popup in front of your lock screen. You may restrict the creation of the notification popups per app and decide to only show notifications that contain keywords of your choice. Everything that it takes for it to work is its activation as an AccessibilityService.
But enough words are spoken now, here are some screenshots for you:
Main screen
App's settings
Add app screen
[*]And an actual notification
If you think that this is what you want to use, grab the latest release here or via the QR-code below - it's free (as in "free beer").
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
If you want to have a look at the source code, you can do this at Google Code, because this software is also free software (yes, "free" as in "freedom"), released under the GPLv3.
Oh yeah, as some (or most?) of you seem to highly appreciate that software doesn't contain ads, here comes the best thing for you: this app is ad free - on the one hand because I don't know how to incorporate ads in an app (and am way too less interested in doing so to find out how to achieve this) and on the other hand because I do this as a hobby and mostly for myself, I'm not out for making money with it. If you feel like this deserves a reward of some kind, there is a donate button, but
I would highly appreciate if someone could come up with an icon that I can use for this app, as I'm not much of a graphics guy and I've no idea for an icon myself.
Questions left? Just give it a try and I'm sure they will be answered. If not: this is a forum, leave your questions here, I'll do my best to answer them. Bug reports, ideas for the future and an icon are also welcome. :good:
Until then, enjoy! Yours TpmKranz.

Additional information

Initial release.
v1.1:
If you want to view a notification, you no longer have to unlock the screen manually (unless you have a secure lock screen, of course).

Notification popups should be fixed now, they also resemble the actual notifications more.
v1.3:
Added ability to use a slider to interact with the notification popup. This is not completely mature, yet. It is usable and I didn't encounter any bugs, but it doesn't look very good at the moment.
Lowered minimum SDK version to 7 (runs on Android 2.1 now).
v1.4:
Made slider background customizable (defaults to 0xffffff on Android < 3, 0x181818 otherwise).
App picker is now sorted alphabetically.
v1.5:
Added ability to control if a notification lights up the display.
Added ability to default to an expanded view of a notification.
Squashed some bugs.
v1.6:
Added option for aggressive popups.
Added custom screen timeout for popups.
Reduced frequency of app list reloads.
Merged NotificationActivities (should have fixed bugs).
Added icon!!! Thanks to XDA Senior Member thesparky007!

Changed icon, thank you XDA Junior Member taylorcoffelt!
v1.8
Added option to lock popup's orientation (locked by default).
Added option to allow Notify Me! to work during a call.
Added blacklist/whitelist switch to keyword filter.
Fixed some force closes.
Optimized keyword filtering.
Removed obsolete translations (Chinese, Polish, Spanish).
Added new translation (Italian).
v1.9
(Hopefully) fixed AccessibilityService (except the speech output, that's Samsung’s thing)!
Fixed bugs (especially on ICS).
Optimized aggressive popups and orientation locking.
Re-added Spanish, Polish and Chinese translations.
Added Turkish translation.
v1.9.1
Fixed 'missing slider interface and app lock-up' bug.
Just tested it, looking good!
Must have app! :good:
Only "problem" that I saw was not unlocking phone after tapping "View" on popup.
And is it possible to hide text from buttons seen on this screen http://i.imgur.com/anWg7Yx.png ? It is large and most of it can't be seen.

I already have an idea how to implement an unlock feature - give me some minutes and v1.1 could have it.
I don't think it would be possible to remove the text from the buttons, or at least it would be quite complicated and unreliable, as it's actually just the notification's View put in a Dialog and there is a high degree of freedom for developers to create an expanded notification's View - long story short: I don't think it's possible to exactly locate the button's Views and empty the text there, but I could give it a try, eventually.

Ok...noticed something in v1.1
The notification is there for a second or two, and suddenly it disappears and all I see is the lockscreen.
I am using CM10 on LG-P690
EDIT: This also happens if multiple notifications are received one after the other.
v1.1 working fine for me. :good:

For me, too. So the notification sound (vibration, etc...) fires off, the screen lights up, the notification popup appears, then disappears and never comes back again? And all without ANY interaction from you?
EDIT: Yeah, found the reason. I'm working on a fix.
EDIT2: It's a protection for cases when the system can't retrieve a notification's View to just don't show a popup (for which the View would be needed). I could reproduce it with Facebook Messenger's notifications - can you tell me which apps' notifications cause this for you?

Those Icons are dependent on the messaging app. I use Sliding Messaging Pro, which gives me the freedom to remove those buttons. Nothing of that sort is present in the stock app.

Re: [APP; 2.2+] Notify Me! (notifications on the lock screen) v1.1 3.3.13 [GPL]
Hello, Ive been testing it and have following things to say:
In next build could u sort app names alphabetically and make overall size a lil bigger?
If u can implement themes, it would be awesome.
One ques:Are missed calls notified? I havent found phone.apk in the list but Ive added contacts.apk and Im not notified of missed calls.
Good job and pl keep this available for 2.2+:thumbup:
"If I could I would, but I can't so I shan't."
Hello !
As an ex iOS user, I miss notifications all the time on my phone, even with the LED. This app is almost perfect.
I'd just like for the notification to disappear when the screen locks itself again, and have no button at all (since it already unlocked itself in my pocket, and I don't like using a code).
Since I'm a developer too, I might code it myself and throw an icon in the mix.

Sorting the app picker alphabetically is something I've been thinking about since my first app picker, but I never got a good idea how to achieve it. It will be implemented if I get a flash of genius for this problem. Themes? I don't actually know what you want to theme. Sure, if you find the right app in the picker, your missed call notification will be caught by this app, given that the screen is off or locked when the notification is spawned.

Making notifications disappear when the screen gets locked again would be no problem, I guess, but I don't know what you mean by the "no button at all" thing. Anyways, I would love to get an icon!

By no button at all, I mean removing "Dismiss" and "View". More like iOS, you see ? There are no buttons, and the action requires you to slide on the icon. i'll pull the code and play with it this afternoon.

Ah, I see. Sliding the icon would be a little too iOS for me, apart from the fact that I don't have the slightest clue how to implement something like this. Having no buttons could be quite stylish, if I think about it, but I don't know if a slider would be the right thing for this job. If you have some clever idea, please let me know.
Re: [APP; 2.2+] Notify Me! (notifications on the lock screen) v1.2 3.3.13 [GPL]
I definitely love the idea of this app, it needs some work but sure it's a great start, in having and issue, when I get an sms, I click expand, then I click "read" so it will mark it as read, instead of vanishing, the screen flickers and the notification appears again, like I never hit "read" only way of actually get rid of it is by clicking view :s

I definitely love the idea of this app, it needs some work but sure it's a great start, in having and issue, when I get an sms, I click expand, then I click "read" so it will mark it as read, instead of vanishing, the screen flickers and the notification appears again, like I never hit "read" only way of actually get rid of it is by clicking view :s

Your issue has something to do with the way this app works. It is not intended to react to clicks on that buttons. The popup just intends to be an exact recreation of a notification, including buttons, etc... plus the "Dismiss", "Expand/Collapse" and "View" buttons. By tapping one of the notification's own buttons, the actual notification could disappear, but as I can't know for sure how the notification-spawning app's developer implemented the expanded notification, it would be quite premature to just dismiss the popup on an interaction. To achieve this, you don't necessarily have to hit "View", that's actually the purpose of the "Dismiss" button. As you are on 4.2, you can also tap outside the popup to dismiss it.

Oh I'm not fond of the slide icon like iOS, I just mean a way to prevent accidental touches on these buttons
I don't know how public the API is, but I like the lockscreen ring. Slide left to dismiss, Right to view.
The phone app uses the same (well, maybe it just tells the lockscreen that it is ringing ...)
Maybe it's possible to use it without adding a lot of code.

The DeskClock (alarm) app uses it, too (at least in 4.2) but I don't know how it's implemented and digging in Android's sources will surely bring up something with an API level >= 17 (if public at all, as you mentioned).
A short Google search brought me to this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8629535/implementing-a-slider-in-android
I can imagine that it can be bent for this, but I'm not sure how this will look. You see, I try to make the app look like it belongs to the system it's used on, thus only use designs that adapt theirselves to the used platform, e.g. the android.R.drawable resources, which are provided by the framework the app is running on. I don't think that it will be possible to create a slider which easily integrates in the user interface of every Android flavor. Do you have a concrete idea at the moment? If not, I would start brainstorming about the SeekBar approach.
Hi
My application just passed certification process and wanted to share it with you.
This application is available to download for free on Samsung Gear Apps. Just search for "navi watch".
Imagine you are exploring new city or just going somewhere. To be most efficient you use Google Navigation to get to your desired place, but when you are in unknown area you need to look very often in your mobile to stay on path. During nice sunny day your screen brightness on mobile needs to be set on 110% to be able to see something on the screen and your battery discharges very fast(sounds familiar?).
Showing turn-by-turn navigation instructions directly on clock face eliminates the need to launch separate application every time when you look at the watch when navigating on your route. Turn-by-turn instruction with navigation image will be right there when screen turns on.
No need to waste battery on the mobile with screen on all time while looking for directions and keep your mobile in your hands all time, keep your mobile in safely in your pocket/bag and all navigation instructions are delivered instantly on your wrist.
How does it work?
It is integrated with Google Navigation using its notifications and it is necessary to grant notification access to "D.M.A Navi Watch" to be able to see turn-by-turn navigation instructions from Google Navigation directly on your Gear.
After that just start navigating to desired place on your mobile using Google Navigation and follow the navigation instructions on your Gear.
When you are not using navigation, the clock displays date and current weather information with beautiful animated icons. Display, font, colours are all configurable from the application on your mobile.
--Version 1.2
Fixed missing navigation instructions on Android Lollipop
Fixed screen not turning on before turn for some users
Added experimental support for Here maps
Here maps now works, but I don't recommend it. To get notifications on the watch, you need to make sure that the application is running in background.
Second issue is that when the screen is off, Here maps does not send navigations instructions after some time and you need to wake you phone to get current navigation instructions.
I'm working on fixing this, but hopefully Here maps will fix it on their side, I don't want to wake the phone automatically.
--Version 1.1.1(attached below)
Fixed vibation alert compatablity with latest Google Maps
--Version 1.1
Improved clock design
More and better navigation images
Added vibration before turn
Added display on before turn
Added battery icon
AM/PM or 24h time syncs with the device
Compatibility with Gear S

Quality word, if I had to say something, I would request a little bit more space between weather and date on the screen. But it is very nice work, this is now my watch face thank you !!
I searched for it and I don't see it... do you have a link for it??
update: Nevermind...found it... lol
Thanks for the feedback, I agree, it will be fixed on the next version. I was also thinking to put the date on top or bottom, what do you think?

Well, date and time together make sense to me, so I think it is cool like that. thinking maybe you could add battery percentage in a corner and bluetooth icon in another to know it it is activated or not (both possible to deactivate). I was not asking too much but you seem to ask for work so here are my ideas ahah, thanks for asking! I generally like to have as much information as possible on the watch when I turn it on...

Pedometer in another corner ? ahahah
Currently im working on more subtile display of the battery percentage, but yes BT can be added too(also configurable).

Wow !
Amazing app !!
I agree with some people here who have requested battery percentage level if you can consider this
Thanks for your work !
VERY well done! :good:
I did notice that 12:05pm does not fit the screen. Most of the "m" is off the screen to the right.
Thank you!!!
Not able to find the app in Gear App Store
Is this app available for US. I am not able to find the app in Gear App Store
Wow. This is one of the most game changing, useful, and well-made apps released so far.
Thanks so much.
I am going to try it out. Although, it would be nice to have the option to have it be separate as I like my watch faces and don't know if I want to change it every time I want directions, but does sound like a good idea. Good job!!!
Thank you all for feedback.
About the watch face and navigation, due to limitations on Tizen, currently it's not possible to have app that overlays on top of others(or I'm not aware of) like I did on my android application for the end of the world(search for "Doomsday - The last rain" on Google Play).
If it was separate app you would need to launch it every time when you look at your Gear during navigating on your route and that is what I'm trying to avoid, that is the reason why I added the weather widget. More options like app shortcuts or calendar events will be added in later versions.
Don't worry, I will think up something regarding custom watch faces.
I tried it on my Gear 2. Navigation is working and also showing the text in german. But I do not see the data and the time anymore only the weather is showing up. (I use 24h Setup)
Do you have any hint for me, please?
Update -> after reboot of Gear2 the time apears but still no datw
Also, I was thinking, if you make the weather forecast temperature smaller and put it on the left of the screen, you would have room for one shortcut for an app, woud that be possible ? I'm curious.. thanks!
Very nice app....thank you! Any way to use the clock on 12 hour instead of 24 hour setting? I can't a way to change that so far...I'm stuck on 24 hour setting. Again...very nice app! Works like a charm!!

It only shows 12 hour mode for me. Is your phone set to 24 hour mode by chance?
Allow me to introduce my app here:
<<I created my apps mainly based on "C"onvenience and "C"ustomization. that's what my app's name "C" stands for>>
C Notice:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccs.notice&ah=dTx4mbmLYrMc6lw9MjuDlXRLp7A
Receive floating notifications from selected applications and keep track of everything that is important to you, all without needing to access your phone's status bar and directly from the lock screen. Experience a very clean & simple floating window design with a unique colored header display. Upon receiving a new notification C Notice displays a visual reminder of the individual application in the form of a floating icon. All notification icons float on top of any other application and can therefore be accessed and interacted with at any time you want, until dismissed. Make additional use of swipe gestures on icons to trigger quick actions (open, expand, dismiss,...) and interact with notifications of all kind with ease.

really nice app !
But would be nice to have the option : not showing notification over lock screen.....
Hey OP I just got done buying the pro key and leaving you 5* on Play Store...came over here to tell you that I am seriously in love with your app.
It really used to be such a pain in the ass accessing the status bar/notification panel on my OnePlus One, my fingers are not long enough to just swipe it without having to move my whole hand, and your app has solved this problem. Besides that, the ability to see my notifications floating windows without having to open the entire app saves so much time. This is definitely one of my favorite apps so thanks again, and anyone who sees this but has not installed the app yet, go check it out, it's great!!!
(BTW I'm on Mahdi ROM 4.4.4, stock kernel, tons of Xposed modules and scripts running and haven't experienced any compatibility issues w/ this app)

C Notice is not available for all devices... I have an MTK 6589 cheapest device.... If is it possible to make it for us then please do it.... This apps looks very interesting and wishing to try it on my phone very eagerly........ By the way U guys are doing very well and I appreciate the hard work done by U....
Good App mate.
Nees to test mot. Will post review after some workaround the app
I'm recieving double pop-ups when using Whatsapp. Can it be lollipop maybe?
Love the app, been looking for something with the bubble part of the Halo functions
Been working with it last two weeks or so, found a bug, or what I think is a bug - play store notifications gets auto cleared.
Great app!
Great app, thx a lot! But, is it ok for this app to consume almost 200 Mb of RAM?
Hello. How can i uninstall this app?

I love this app, I missed halo but liked having MW and PW that stock based Samsung ROMs give and this gives me a halo feel. Could it be possible to have a feature that if you do have Pen Window, when you click the notification the app would open in a pen window? Even if you made it a premium feature I'd pay for that.
I've been using C Notice and C Locker for a few days. Both have great potential, both well worth to buy the premium version.
Focusing on C Notice, it can be a very viable replacement for Floatification. As I've read and experienced, the dev for Floatification is not all that responsive and it's been buggy. Searching for a more capable replacement is what led me to C Notice.
A few requests:
1) Allow the notice/popup to directly delete (for example, Gmail) messages, and directly reply on those apps that have those functions in the notification bar.
2) Have a separate setting for timeout for lockscreen and unlocked. This is how I want to use it: Lockscreen--the display DOES NOT turn on automatically, but when I turn on the screen, I want to see the notifications. After a period, I want the notification to timeout and go away--this is so that the screen will automatically turn off. As you know, if C Notice stays on the lock screen, the display won't turn off. This is useful if I bumped my phone and the screen turned on. This way, it will turn off automatically after a few seconds.
While I am using the phone--I want C Notice to appear and not timeout until I act on it. When I am in the application that initiated the notification, though, I do not want C Notice to pop up (very simlar to a function available in Floatification).
If the above two are implemented, C Notice can completely replace Floatification.
3) For future consideration--to allow seperate Gmail and Hangouts notification--allow the selection of specific Gmail accounts and lables and specific Hangouts accounts for notification.
I'd gladly pay several times the current premium price....
Thanks for your work.
I had C Notice on my Samsung 3 and, so I thought, it would ring back at set times for reminders that I had not dismissed. Now, in my Note 5 I cannot find the option. Have I lost my mind?
How do I Uninstall c notice
Can You make the same style of round notification i cnotice as in the clocker? Now on cloker I can watch a preview of sms email etc. and have the contact photo on notify icon. On cnotice I have the number of unread notifications but not on cloker.
Please make same options in both of Your apps.
Is it possible to enable/disable this app from for example Tasker?
Regards Peter
Could you add quick reply feature like in Floatify?
