Ultimate Info Watch for Gear, Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo
I would like to introduce you my app, Ultimate Info Watch for Gear, Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo.
It is simply a watchface with lots of information as the name says. It provides access to lots of information from one screen without accessing other apps.
It consists of a watchface running on Gear and a service app running on the phone side.
The watchface displays both analog and digital clocks with following information:
Date/Time
Phone Battery
Watch Battery
Current Location
Current Temperature from Weather info
Current Weather Status
Wifi Status
Data Connection Status
It also has following additional features:
battery indicator (blue)
phone battery indicator (green)
when clicked on the battery indicator, both watch and phone battery level is shown on bottom for a short time
Wifi on/off switch
Data Connection on/off switch
3 Day Weather forecast popup when you click weather icon
1 Day Calendar events popup when you click the calendar icon
5 clickable areas on the watch screen:
calendar
weather
wifi on/off
data on/off
battery
The app has a transparent background so that you can use any background you select from Gear settings. Prefer light colored backgrounds to see texts easily.
Notes:
Calendar display function is designed as is with the following conditions:
- it displays the appointments/meetings in your visible calendars for next 48 hours.
- Only a max of 5 items is displayed, so if you have more than that in the next 48 hours only first 5 of them will be shown.
- Calendar display is temporary popup style. It dissapears after a short time. (according to the number of displayed items)
Weather forecast display function works with the same manner. It displays only for a short time only, then disappears.
After the restart of Gear, sometimes the app can not communicate with the phone service. This is a known bug. If this occurs, please change watchface to some other and then back to Ultimate Info Watch.
The app is designed to preserve battery. That's why it is only connecting to the phone with a period. If you can't get information from the phone when you start the app, please wait for 2 or 3 minutes.
The app is designed to work with tablet/phone with data connection. If used with a device without data connection, some features are not available.
The app is already available in the Samsung Apps store in Gear Manager for a while. You can reach it by searching its name.
There are free and paid versions of the app. The free version has some limitations:
Weather forecast is limited to 1 day (today)
Calendar information is limited to 1-2 upcoming events for the next few hours
Transparent background has name of the app over it

Hi,
Your app is very rich in features and quite useful watchface. But it needs work on the appearances, many users require professional (formal) watchfaces, i.e. less colorful and standard fonts.

Thanks for your feedback.
If people need standard fonts, I can make a new watchface with standard font.
About being less colorful, my watchfaces are transparent. So if you need black or any tone of gray, you can use that background.
Hello,
could you please provide the apk from the free version?
I think this would be interessting for a lot of people that use the gear 2 with an non Samsung device.
Thank you.

sure; I am attaching it here. But the free version is really a crippled version and I did not develop new features (notifications etc.) on it.
Also, I am not sure how host-side communication works without Samsung Gear Manager. Because normally my gear app communicates with the phone side service through Samsung Accessory protocol.

Some suggestions:
1. Allow a short date format of just day date for those who want a cleaner presentation (IE: Thu 13).
I think I can remember what month and year it is without it cluttering up the watchface.
2. Any way to allow users to optionally remove and reposition elements around the face according to their preferences? I like the density of options and information, but some people might not need them all, so allowing people to remove some and move around the elements would be a good customizing capability. For example - sometimes I just want a resizable digital clock and no analog at all so I can clean up the face for the background to show better.
3. Would it be possible in the future to save certain profiles? Sometimes I want a cleaner watchface for certain days and on work days I want the full dashboard of info and toggles available at a glance. If I could preconfigure a couple and have a way to quick select them, that would be cool.
Anyway, good work and thanks for continuing to support our platform. I'm happy that there are still some devs working on this and haven't all abandoned this for Android Wear.

Tried the free version - the information is nearly invisible...
Hi,
I like the idea of your watch face. However, since I use a dark wallpaper - and since your watchface is using that wallpaper as a background; most of the text etc in the watchface becomes invisible.
So: would it be possible to have a background provided by you - to ensure that the colors etc. you use are visible?
Thank you
Is it possible to put the clock in 24 hour mode ? I only have am/pm mode.
Does this work with Gearfaces from Gearfaces.com?
24 hour format would be great to have

I uploaded my digital clock widget, mClock. I plan on adding more styles and/or options. Let me know what you think, what you would like to see as far as options go and whatever else.
I've attached the QR code and screenshots.
For the fonts in the screenshot I just grabbed some off the web and put them on the sdcard.
Fonts: 1979, Acens, Colwell, Orbitron-Medium, and the built in fonts.

There is also a donate version, mClock.donate
Looks great so far!
I have some suggestions though,
First of all, I really want a real 24 hour clock instead of the 12 hour clock available.
4x2 widget would be awesome.
Perhaps custom date formatting, for example, I cannot currently do "Sunday, November 7". The default android formatting options would be nice i.e "EEEE, EEE, HHHH, MMMM, d and so on."
Perhaps click to open application..
Maybe shadow options?
Larger font size than 100px? I currently use 128px which perfectly fits my screen from side to side.
Separating different lines would be awesome, for example, I might want month and day number on one row and weekday on another.
24 hr clock: I have the code almost ready for that
4x2 widget: Easy to add
Date format: Sunday, November 7 is already supported. You can turn off the year portion on any of the date formats and change the separator to ,(Space).
Click to open app: I've been thinking of a good way to handle this. I also need to allow clicking to open the options page. I've thought about dividing the clickable area to allow different launch options. If you have a good idea I'm all ears.
Shadow options: The blur effect overwrites the shadow. I haven't figured out a way to get both to work. I may settle for toggling between shadow or blur. But I did have the shadow working on a test build so it's doable.
Larger fonts: Easy to change
Different lines: That's where the different styles/formats come into play. Those take a bit more work but I do plan on providing that sort of thing.
Update to 1.3. Includes 24 hr clock, 4x2 widget and increased font max size
Exellent app mate! Congratulations! I m using it whole evening! So good, so far! I have no further wishes about this app! Loving it!
About the click to open app, why not a application in the launcher for the settings?
24 hour clock option should disable AM/PM automatically?
Still not seeing 4x2 widget?
I like shadow because it can act as both solid blur, shadow and the color is configurable.
Blur seems cut off at top and bottom at big font sizes?
I know it's a hassle for almost no difference but perhaps render it as text instead of a bitmap?
I know I sound whiny but this app has so great potential and is already better than the rest of the clocks, simply awesome work. Love it.
New update fixes the 4x2 issue. I forgot to add it to the manifest file... Also I disable the am/pm if 24 hour mode is on.
As for the shadow, I'll work on it next. Hopefully should have it ready tomorrow night. I have code already that allows you to select the shadow color, x & y offset and the shadow size. It should just be a matter of getting it all in shape and tested.
For the app launch. Do you mean put a item in the configure screen that will launch the app?
The blur getting cut off is a side effect of the clipping, I have an idea of how to solve that but I'm going to delay the fix for now.
I don't mind the suggestions, I like to know what can be improved.
Seems the update service crashes(or simply doesn't start) a lot on 1.3.1 with the 4x2 size?
Text won't fill the 4x2 widget correctly, fonts seem limited to a too small size(only 24 hour clock, won't fit width)?
Another suggestion of mine, 24 hour clocks usually display a leading zero when the hour is a single digit?
What I meant with app launch was to have a normal app (the ones that show up in your app drawer ^^) for configuration and launch custom apps with the widget.
Right now I have no clue why 4x2 doesn't work. It works on the emu but not on the device. The other sizes seem fine though. I'll look into it tomorrow.
Very cool looking digital clock widget! Great design.
My new favorite clock app !
What I really like about it is the way you can change colors.. gradient is a nice option.
Nice work mate !
Upload the APK please
Could you please attach the APK file here for the comfort of downloading?
It would be a great help.
Thanks
Arindam
Added the apk file to the original post.
New release now has shadows, more layout options, another clock format and some bug fixes. However I wasn't able to figure out the 4x2 widget issue so it's disabled for now.
looking awesome.
Good luck on the 4x2 widget.
Figured out the 4x2 issue. Still trying to get a good design on handling the app launch feature. One problem is you can have multiple widgets so if I disable the tap to config then you'll have to delete and re-add to change options. One idea is to have a popup that you either choose the app or the config, not as great as just tap to launch.
Awesome...The best clock widget till date...works great on my xperia x10.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
The clock seems kinda small, seems there is a lot of space to spare. See screenshot, bottom is the size I would want(Self-made clock widget), top is current size.
Awesome update man, 1.5 is simply awesome.
There's something "wrong" with the 1.5 version (market update)..
I've downloaded and installed your attached 1.4.1 file in first post just to be sure my eyes were ok..
When I set clock colours (white 100% and white 50%), the gradient is not as smooth as it used to be on 1.4.1
For the size not being as large as you want, try bumping up the font size and turning off clipping. Set the date's vertical alignment to bottom and the clock's to top. That should give you what you're looking for. And if the font size is maxed let me know and I'll increase it.
For the gradient issue. I know exactly what why it happens. I could go into tech details but basically to get the 4x2 working I had to reduce the rgba depth. I'll go back and increase it for all the smaller sizes.
Yeah, font size was maxed out. Perhaps make that setting a text input, shouldn't have any limits and be precise enough then.
Hey knoxcoder, I LOVE your widget, but as Poodlemastah points out, there's this major drawback of not being able to launch our app of choice when tapping it. This is a must have for all clock widgets.
Most of us like to set our alarms by just tapping on the clock widget, and right now I find myself using TWO clock widgets because of this... yours because it's the best looking, and another one in the adjacent home screen just to launch the alarms app... lol.
Even if it means having to re-add the widget once you add this feature, I still think it will be worth it in the long term... it's just a must-have for most people.
As Poodlemastah has suggested, I think the behaviour most of us would expect is:
Both the "add -> widget" option from the home screen and the icon in the app drawer will take us to the config screen. There, we can set all the parameters as we want them (including which app to launch).
Now, as you've said, there can be multiple instances of the widget, so maybe the ideal setup would be being able to "save" different clock configs from the settings menu (without necessarily applying them to any instance), then choosing which one of them to apply at the moment we add the widget to a homescreen. That way, it wouldn't be such a hassle to re-add them everytime, because the config would be saved.
It would be a matter of making the user conscious of this change by just re-arranging the settings menu: when we open it, it shows the options "Create new clock...", "Edit existing clock...", etc. That way, they would realize each clock is saved independently, and they would be asked for a name first of all, so that they would actually remember what it was called when they want to load it up.
Example:
· I open mClock settings
· I'm presented with 3 options: "Add existing clock to home screen"; "Create new clock..."; "Edit/delete existing clocks...".
· I choose "Create new clock..."
· I'm asked for a name, I name it "My clock".
· I'm then presented with the clock settings screen, which I procceed to adjust to my liking.
· At the bottom, I see 2 buttons: "Save" and "Cancel". I click "Save".
· After that, I'm taken back to the settings screen.
· I now choose "Add existing clock to home screen".
· I'm presented with a list of the existing clocks already created.
· I choose "My clock".
· The clock is added to a home screen (the central one, I guess?), and I'm automatically taken there to see it.
Another way to add a clock would be to go to a home screen, choose the "add widget" option in the launcher, and choose "mClock", in which case I would be taken to the same settings menu as before. The only difference would be that the clock would get added to the same screen from which I called the "add widget" option.
I don't know if this would be such a big hassle to make, or if it's impossible at all, since I haven't done any Android development yet. I'm only talking from a usual programmer and UI designer point of view
Let me know what you think.
Hi again,
Changelog
V3 updated:
-cleared the program panels ongs, so there is no overlapping reflections.
-the settings menu error was solved.
-new shortcut in start menu via which you can access the programs panel menu.
Remember, that you must uninstall any previous version before you install the new Cab. If you have the current v3 installed there is no longer a need to install the fix dunc posted.
We have finally managed to get everything to work and we now are able to provide you with "THE ONE AND ONLY WIDGET". The Widget, that you NEED to have on your homescreen.
This is the SimClock v3.
After hard days of work dunc managed to get the script straight and the Widget got ready to be shared.
Again we obviously want to thank Poyensa for his amazing work on the settings menu, rat_2665 for his patience, support and guidance with problem functions in the scripts, MichelDiamond for his help with the required reg keys and everyone on the DreamTeam for the superb beta testing over the last few days as we got closer to release - without them we wouldn't have the perfect home screen widget!
Now take a look at this :
{
"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",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The SimClock v3 comes with many new features and a redone menu. The Installation is quite simple. Just uninstall any previous versions of the SimClock and then install JML Menu. You can find the link a little later in this post. After that just install the v3 cab and softreset
As you can see on the Screenshots we have included a function that lets you choose whether you want the panels displayed on top of the clock, or below, when you want to add the widget to you homescreen.
I wanted to start with the most impressive feature of the SimClock and this is most likely the new program panel we integrated, that can hold up to 14 quicklinks to programs You can access the program panel by pressing the black background of the widget. By default it is set to show 7 quicklinks. But if you press one empty quicklink you can choose to display 14 and choose the exe files you want to be inside the panel. Furthermore, if you want to you can set a costum icon for every quicklink. If you want to do that make sure the icons are 64x64, 128x128 or 256x256 pngs if not Sense will become very slow and might crash
Another very interesting feature is the ability to set day and night switching options. You can set colors and opacitys in the new menu that change when you check, that you want Day/Night switching.
You are also able to enable a background png that switches day and night, too. If you want to edit the pngs, just edit SimClock_ClockBG_Day.png and SimClock_ClockBG_Night.png and overwrite to your windows directory. If you change back to not using a png then you have to restart sense.
These are the most impressive new features. Furthermore we added:
-Vibrate on Press
-Autoclose panels after a set time.
-Ability to set your own flashlight app.
We hope you enjoy this new Version of the SimClock and plz give us feedback

SimClock v2
As you can see we added some very handy options and addons into this Widget.
But before I tell you what we added I want you to know, that you can edit EVERYTHING in this Widget!
Now for the new features. There now is an option that displays your next alarm time and if you want it can also display how long until your alarm starts. Furthermore we included dunc's Battery widget into v2 so that you now have the battery indicator in 4 different Layouts in 1 Clock widget.
We added a second comm toggle panel which holds switches for Flight Mode, Phone, Data (the data toggle is just a disconnect switch when connected, it doesn't reconnect), Wifi, Bluetooth, Profile and Flashlight. In addition we extended the Quicklink Panel of v1 with anpther quicklink for the File Explorer of you choice.
To access all this amazing features there are 3 Press Areas:
This should give you a quick overview. By repressing the minute and hour digit press areas you can close the Panels again.
Well now the Menu. I have made a little image for you, so that you can see the layout of the JML Menu brought to you by poyensa
As shown you can change the color of all Battery Layouts, the Alarm and the "Time till Alarm", the Background, the Digits, the Date line, and the Line. Furthermore the line and the Backgrounds opacity are editable.
The Battery addition comes in 4 Layouts: Text Battery, Circle Battery with value, Circle Battery with value and % and Circle Battery without value. This way you have the full costumization ability for this Widget.
The Alarm Time etc of course only shows up, if you have an Alarm set
You can also set the path for your favourite File Explorer which than will be accessable by pressing the sixth quicklink. If you are using Resco Explorer you would need to enter \Program Files\Resco Explorer\Explorer.exe.
For any other Programs like Total commander, just find the .exe and then enter the path and you are done
If you want to access all these features you should install the JML MenuSense which you can download here.
If you dont install this you cannot access the Menu, but all the other stuff should be working
Ok that should be enough info We now hope, that you enjoy this widget in which we put much effort and time. Have fun with it^^
You can find the Cab at the end of this post
This is v1
Hi Guys,
its time for some stunned expressions on your faces
After a hard time getting this Widget and all the new features it contains ready we are proud to present to you the SimClock Widget!
This is a collaboration work between Dunc001 and me. Also we want to give tons of "Thank you's" to poyensa who integrated the MenuSense into the Widget and also scripted the .xmu-file!! Thank You!!
To access the extended Widget Settings Menu feature you must first have JMLMenuSense installed. There is no need, but we recommend you install "JMLMenuSenseV1.60.cab" made by JMHL which you can find right here.
This is necessary, so please make sure you install this!!
So but now for the Widget:
The SimClock Widget comes in 4 Layouts. These Layouts define the appearance of the Date text, as you can see in the 4 Screenshots above.
That alone of course isnt it.
Now for the special features :
The SimClock's black background panel reaches the whole screen and is resizable in height. Also when you are resizing it the Clock itself always stays the same size. Only the Background and the line are beeing stretched.
The really cool stuff is coming now:
When you press on the Digits or the Date Text a Quicklink Panel will open beneath the Widget. Within this Panel there are 5 Quicklinks:
Alarm
World Clock
Calendar Tab
Tasks
Contacts
All of these Quicklinks work and take you to the respective tabs or menus
You can close this Panel by clicking on the Clock Widget again.
You should leave a little space beneath the SimClock Widget because if something is put right there, where the Quicklink Panel is supposed to be displayed, it will just be shown behind what ever you have put there. So leave a little space for the Quicklink Panel
If you want to place widgets like a weather widget etc onto the black background panel, you should keep in mind, that the SimClock will most likely be placed over the Widget. That is because the SimClock was the last Widget you installed.
To make it appear in the right fashion we would recommend you to check your registry and uninstall the Widget you have installed after your BG widgets, if you are using them or if not, just any other widget which occupies a slot with a number from 1-10.
If you just install the SimClock after that it will be installed in that very slot and be placed behind all the Widgets which are installed in higher slots
Most of you will know, that you can change colors etc via registry. Thanks to the help of poyensa we managed to make this process a whole lot easier!
When you press on the Clock and let the Quicklink Panel appear you can press into the Red marked area on the screenshot. This will then take you to the Menu you see next to the screenshot.
Within this Menu you can easily change the Color of ALL components, which are the Background, the Line, AM/PM text, Hour Time, Minute Time and Date. Furthermore you can set the opacity for the Background and the Line. This makes it very easy for you to costumize your SimClock and make it fit your personal desires.
A short screenshot of how it could look like can be seen above on the very right screenshot
The installation of this widget is as easy as the procedure for all the other Widgets.
Just install the Cab and softreset
We hope you enjoy this Widget^^

Hi lapis
you have to set the opacity to at least 1 if you set it to 0 then the press area will be visible and the background completely gone. So just set the opacity to 1 and everything should work
WOW!
Awesome stuff as always. Great job Nordpolcamper,Dunc001 and poyensa!
Looking forward to installing!
Hello
I set the value background opacity "1", but a little background is different, it's how you can be fix something?

Well I tried it on my device again and again And if I set the opacity to 1 then the background is gone completely
I would suggest you perform a softreset and then try again to adjust the opacity. You have to press Save and Exit if you change anything
If it still wont work plz try uninstalling and installing the widget again should the problems still be there, then plz tell me again^^
bravo!
went to the darkside with nandroid...but you guys keep pulling me back!

There is a safeguard built in so you can't set the opacity to 0 (as npc says this renders the background inactive which means you can't remove or resize the widget in Edit Mode). If you try to set it to 0 the setting will default back to 40 - clever stuff eh!

Hola Poyensa,
unfortunately nothing has changed, changed the registry, reboot, but all the old
I like this SimClock more and more! thanks Dunc001 & NordPolCamper for make it. You have bring the CHT Widgets to a superior stage with the quick-links-pop-up and the settings screen. Regarding this setting screen, this is possible only because the work of JMLH in JMLMenuSense and all the credits must go to him. With JMLMenuSense everybody can create Sense looking menus in a easy way and no need program languaje knowledge. More in the official thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885959

[APP][WIDGET] UCCW - Make your own widgets
UCCW - Ultimate custom clock widget.
https://market.android.com/details?id=in.vineetsirohi.customwidget
Make your own widgets, just the way you like.
Install countless skins from Google play or use 'uzips' (fully editable UCCW skin files) made by your friends.
UCCW is a WYSIWYG (What-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor for widgets. You can tweak the layout of objects, fonts, images, shapes, Analog clocks, battery meters, weather and more.
Features
Widget objects - text, shapes, images, weather, graphic (progress), analog clock etc.
Text objects - calendar, weather, battery info, Gmail, location, next calendar event, tasker variables
Graphical objects - barcode, bar, pie
Special objects - Week bar, Series clock
Text mapping to override text values
Hotspots
Set actions that fire when a user clicks on the widgets. Customize their location and size.
Sharing skins
Want to share your awesome skins with the world? Share uzip files or create apks right from within app to upload on Google play.
Note
UCCW needs to run in the background to update home screen widgets. Android Oreo and above need a persistent notification for background processing.
App Permissions

I like the widget.
Some suggestions/ bugs:
- if I choose 100% alpha for background, analog clock, etc. it is not really invisible, there is still a shadow
- instead to turn the alpha to 100% to make background, analog clock, etc. invisible give a selection to turn off (e.g dont show background)
- I cant use any of my picture for background
- in the settings gui in portrait mode we have to scroll to the right side. Why dont you use 2 rows for all the settings buttons?

Yes, use pictures with low size. the product of height and width of the picture should be less than 120000, preferably of the same size as background dimensions for best result.
Tutorial
http://uccw.blogspot.com/
Version 1.0.19:
Controls are much better. no scrolling required.
Battery level and battery status added
multiple widget support.
Version 1.0.92
- minor bugs removed
I like this app. Waiting for weather info.
Version 1.1.0
- uninstall old versions before using this.
- new members added : Week bar, weather, shapes, battery bar and image members
- size of analog clock hands can be changed now.
Version 1.1.1
- Fast move mode added.
- some bugs removed
Version 1.1.2
Some bugs removed
Version 1.1.4
What's in this version:
- Series clock members added
- Weather settings - option to show temperature in Fareinheit and to show degree symbol added.
Here I present a program called Notification Browser. It will show a list of all received notifications and tries to extract the info and show it as a list. Also a widget is included. Tapping the notification should start the corresponding intent and tapping the garbage bin icon should delete the notification from the list. The idea was to be able to have a full screen launcher and even then having easy access to notifications.
For it to work, you need to go to accessibility settings and enable Notification browser.
Market link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dapaua.notificationbrowser
Settings and their meaning:
Widget Background: Allows you to choose the background from three not that different options.
Widget opacity: Allows you to make the widget transparent. 100% opacity means not transparent a t all. 0% means totally transparent.
Icon type: Allows you to choose between 4 different options for the icon. "Notification" means the small icon that appears in the notification bar. Application is the icon shown in the launcher for the app. Original means the original colors. Coloured means that it will use the "Color for notifications" value.
Use notification icon: Some notifications show a different icon when the notification bar is expanded, for example Gmail or whatsapp. The program will use this icon if available instead of the one set in "Option type".
Use blacklist: Filters the notification according to the blacklisted apps list. If an app is in the list, enabling this option disables its notifications in the widget.
Blacklisted apps: Space separated list of packagenames for the apps that are disabled when "Use blacklist" is set to true. You can add as many apps as you like using the package name.
Title text size: Text size for the notification title (What is shown in folded notifications).
Body text size: Text size for all the other text that is shown in unfolded notifications.
Only 1 notif per app: When an app adds a new notification, old ones are automatically removed if this option is enabled.
Show the clock. Will show a clock over the notifications.
Remove widget title: Will totally hide and disable the widget title and clear all notifications button.
Transparent widget title: Will hide but not disable the widget title and clear all notifications button.
Hide clock if there are more than...: Will hide hte clock when there are more than the selected umber of notifications. The clock will appear again when the notifications are cleared.
Swap title and subtitle: Notifications have a ticker text, that briefly appears in the notification bar. This is the title. Then they have the text that appears when you unfold the notification bar. Sometimes they contain different text. Enabling this option will exchange both values. I prefer to have this set to enabled, but you can choose.
Color for UI elements: Color for the buttons and title.
Color for notifications: Color for the text in the nofications, and the notification icons if the coloured option is selected in "Icon type".

Feedback is really appreciated.
I want to publish this on the market at some point and (maybe) add a premium version with extended theme support.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible of any damage derived from the use of this software.
History
v1. First Release.
v2. -Now the "X" notification clear button works.
-Transparency and color added to widget. Will be configurable at some point.
-New Background, easier to configure in the future.
-Configuration utility planned.
v3. -Color filters per application (Not configurable yet, but system notifications appear in orange)
-Higher compatibility (The application sends a notification at start that is scanned to find the correct fields)
v4.
*IF UPDATING, YOU WILL NEED TO UNINSTALL OLD VERSION FIRST*
-Now widget only shows the last notification for each app. Clicking the widget banner will show the Notification Browser app, with all the notification history.
-Main app now uses different colors depending on the origin of the notification.
- Now only the settings utility is missing. There you may choose color and text size for notifications, amongst other things
v5
-Following nuttsak advices (Thanks, man!), I removed the trash bin and again all notifications appear on the widget.
-Clicking the notification opens the activity and removes it from the widget list, but not from the app list.
-Fixed a bug that made that the wrong activity was launched when the notification was pushed.
-Settings will be added after christmas, so Merry Christmas to all.
v6
*IF UPDATING, YOU WILL NEED TO UNINSTALL OLD VERSION FIRST*
-Now notifications are expandable. Press on the notification to see extended info and actions. Press again to fold the notification. Buttons do the following: Launch action, Delete notification, delete all notifications from the same app.
-Used the app icon for notification. Old code is there, so when configuration utility is done, it will be user choice.
-Fixed date to match phone country style.
-Fixed some bugs.
v7
-Settings working. To change settings, tap the header of the widget, and then press the small settings icon (only works when it is blue).
-Available settings at the moment:Widget background style, background opacity, icon type, text size.
v8.
-Fixes some Application not responding errors
-Easier to set up.
v9.
Fixed small bug in v8
v10.
-Supports notifications without ticker text(including Gtasks). Due to this, I had to filter out the OS messages, like "wifi network found" and such because some of them were flooding the app. Notifications with no text at all (Like phone call in progress) do not show.
-New icon
v11.
-Notification behaviour reverted to v9. Notifications without ticker text don't appear anymore, as many ghost notifications were being shown.
-Configurable colours for notifications.
-Notification title and subtitle can now be swapped.
-Fixed some bugs.
TODO: Add a clock that will show when no notifications are present, (suggested by makejau).
v12.
-Added clock. The clock can be configured to disappear when a number of notifications appear (Gràcies per la suggerència, makejau!).
-Option to only show the last notification for each app added.
v13.
-Fixes error with multiple widgets - Only the most recent widget was being refreshed.
v14.
-Option to hide widget title, as suggested by skratch1702.
v15.
-Option to make title invisible while retaining functionality.
-Duplicated notifications are not added to the list.
-Should work on JB Lockscreen.
v16.
-Added basic app filtering. I will make this easier to use at some point. this is to check if it works or not.
Go to options. Activating the "Use blacklist" option enables it. Then add the package name of the app to "Blacklisted apps".
For example, for tasker you need to add net.dinglisch.android.taskerm to the list. Add the package names separated by spaces.
How to obtain package names?
Option 1: Go to play store and check the http address. It's there between "id=" and "&"
Option 2: Use titanium and click on the app. Then click on the yellow text with the app name. You get the package name for that app.
There are many other ways.
Default value is "com.android.providers.downloads android"
The first one (com.android.providers.downloads) is the download manager. The second one(android) is the system, to avoid "Wifi found", "Usb connected","choose keyboard" and so on.
This option only stops new notifications from registering in the widget, doesn't delete old ones.
-Option to use the icon that appears inside the notification as the icon. For example, in Gmail or whatsapp, when you unfold the notification drawer you see the contact picture. Enabling "Use notification icon" allows you to use that icon instead of the standard one.
v17.
Sorry for all the small updates of today!
-Small bug fix with "remove widget title".
v18.
-Improved clock responsiveness.
-Now widget can be horizontally resized in stock launcher.
v19.
-Improved compatibility.
-Tapping the clock opens main app.
-Shadow added to some elements.
-Battery level shown in widget (Enable in settings).
v20.
-Bugs fixed: Battery decimals, battery arrow, FC when service disabled, Problems with notification text.
v22.
-ADW theme support. Please send feedback.
-Blacklist with app selector. The old text based mode is still functional, because system services cannot be shown there, so you'll need to add them by hand.
-Privacy mode list. Choose apps there and instead of showing the notification content, they will show "New notification". This is useful if widget is in lockscreen.
-Revamped settings screen.
-New bugs! I expect lots of new bugs, because there are lots of changes in this version. Please, report if you find any. This version is not in the Play store, I'll wait a couple of days to find bugs before uploading it.
v23.
-Fixed some bugs that made the clock or the notification list to freeze.
-Added a new clock. At some point it will be configurable.
v24.
-LauncherPro icon themes supported.
-Font for the clock can be changed. Roboto fonts are included by default. If you want to use extra fonts, put the .ttf files in a folder called "fonts" in the sdcard.
-New permissions needed: Phone and wifi state.
-Possibility to show wifi and phone signal in the widget, for those who want to hide the notification bar. I don't know how precise the measurements are. I only know that it worked in my phone.
v25.
-Possibility to hide the AM/PM indicator in the clock.
It seems a cool idea :good:
Same functions with the app Notification History (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evanhe.nhfree).

The app listed doesn't work on some (a lot) Galaxy devices.
Sent from the Mars Rover.
The idea of this app is to be a widget. I didn't try notification history, but it doesn't seem to be a widget.
Just what I was looking for. Although v4 might be a step back. Need to have an option to display last or all notifications.
My use for this app is when I have news alerts to capture all of them in a widget so that I don't have to open the app. Displaying just the last one is pointless.
Could use an option to hide the trash icon and clicking on the app icon to dismiss it from the widget would be nice, that would allow a little bit more space for text.
Keep up the hard work, look forward to future improvements.

Thanks,it is my first app, so i am slow on development. I intend to add a configuration utility, and I am trying all functionality on different versions. Thanks for all your suggestions.
At some point I'll add the option to remove the notification on click, so I'll be able to remove the trash can.

Thank you for the update.
Couple of thoughts:
1. Option for date/time format 24HR/12HR MM/DD/YYYY vs DD/MM/YYYY
2. Leave the app icon as it is, forcing it to a blue/green color doesn't look very good.
3. Option to display the app name and app process (xxx.xxx.xxx) I don't think the process name of the app is necessary at all.
4. Option to display the bottom portion of an alert per app. Some apps display the same information in both positions of the alert, so you get the same text twice (or don't display the second portion of an alert at all, although the problem is some app put the text in the bottom portion vs the top, one of the sports apps when you get an alert the scores only display on the bottom of the alert)
5. Widget design more like Google Now, seems as the 'card' style layout is the cool thing now a days, might make the app more visually appealing.
Really do like the app, keep it up!
Not sure if this is possible but perhaps a option to clear notifications in the pull down automatically....? Since I have them listed in a widget I won't/don't need/want to see them there. Also some of the notifications are clickable (action) and some are not. Is this a limit of the sdk?
Great app and if this is your first app.... Dev... You got a bright future.
Keep at it.
Take care,
Johnny

Thanks.
I didn't find a way to delete the notification on status bar. About the action on notifications, here is some explanation about how it works. The android OS has a pool of PendingIntent. A PendingIntent is a package that launches an application with some settings embedded, for example, to show gmail with an specific mail form the mailbox. These Intents are recycled. When the notification disappears, the OS may reuse them, so now the pendingintent does a different thing. So for old PendingIntents, sometimes the action may be different to the intended one. there is no way to know what the pendingintent will do when executed, only the OS knows. That's why some notifications don't work when clicked.
What do you guys think about the new version?
For every version, old options are there, only disabled. When the configuration utility is done, you may choose the behaviour you want for the widget. In this version I used the app icon instead of a tinted notification icon. This means that now it has colours, but market notifications, for example, always show the market icon. Before this, they may show the "download" icon, or the "app installed" icon. This, in a future, will be configurable too.
I'll try to make the widget background configurable, too, so it may look more like google now.
Hi. I tried to install v6 but I get this error:
d:\Download\Android\SGS3\App>adb install NotificationBrowser_v6.apk
EOCD not found, not Zip
file 'NotificationBrowser_v6.apk' is not a valid zip file
rm: can't remove '/data/local/tmp/NotificationBrowser_v6.apk': No such file or directory
If I copy the file to sdcard and try to install it I get the error too that it is not a valid zip file.
Thanks!
hello, i tried to move notifications to lockscreen without success... i think lockscreen are keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml (framework-res.apk), but im not sure about notifications: are in statusbar.xml?
how I can access the class "notification" (in . java) to say: send notification to keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml (as usual) and send to statusbar.xml?
i like to add notifications in my lockscreen, and avoid to join. Android recommends join same app notifications, but when app is messaging app i like individual notification for each message.
Dev, have you seen the NOTIF app here on XDA? It seems like your apps together would be a real nice concept.

-Notifications are lost on reboot.
TO DO:
-Fix bugs
-Themes for the widget.
In some devices, the notification title and extended data might not be found. In this case only the ticker text that appears briefly when a new notification appears is shown. An external program to fix this is in my list of to-dos .
I only tried this in a Xperia U and Xperia neo V, and works in both with stock ICS rom. Tried in JB SGSIII and didn't show the extended info.
Feedback is really appreciated.

Nice idea will test and let you have some feedback keep at it..
Ok. downloaded v6 again with another browser and installation worked
OK, new version is up. Now you can configure the widget a bit. I will rest a bit this weekend, so don't expect any more updates until monday. I think this is nearly ready to hit the market, so I'll check how uploading to market works.
The idea is to have a free version (what you guys are testing now , thank you all) and a premium version more configurable, for these people that want a perfect desktop.
Have a nice weekend

Cool app, love the brightness gesture control. Two things ( at least on my phone ) when select the option to "reset to default" cancel button is 2 parts : canc ( top) el ( under it ), the other one, my wallpaper is blue/light blue, kinda same as battery line, I know is a pay option but maybe add one more color for free
Great app and must buy app... Work great on my phone run android 10. Thanx for dev made this app

Hi! I will improve the reset dialog buttons in the next update.
And as for the battery bar, I think you're right, the color should probably be free. I'll consider this in the following updates.

Sorry, I don't just give out promo codes like this.
If you know any other languages and could help translate part of the app, I'll be happy to give you a promo code though. Just PM me.

The dialog issue should be fixed in the latest update.
I've also made the battery bar color free. It should have been free in the first place, so thanks for asking!
Great app! My Android 7.1 TV box finally has a status bar. I bought the $1.49 upgrade for the copy on my Android 6 phone. Pretty low cost for lots of cool customization options.
It would be even better if the "custom" status bar could be made transparent or semi-transparent.

Great apps , may i translate to bahasa indonesia, it will more user friendly for indonesian
Works great, worth the price. I have a feature request though, the possibility to increase the long-press delay. I often open the associated app when I swipe along the status bar. I need to practice to make it not happen.
Definitely worth a buck fifty for sure! It a bit rough around the edges as any initial release would be, but the functionality is there and I'm sure it'll 'smooth and improve' over time. I'll post up and ask questions after using it for a while PLUS hunt down any other apps that may not be compatible or cause glitches etc....so far, for me, Powershade (ofc ) had to go, as well as Battery Overlay. Overall tho, a great app so far!

Unfortunately the "Custom" status bar can't be made transparent because it is just an overlay.
If it was semi transparent, you'd be able to see the original icons behind it.
There's no way to actually change the icon styles without adding an overlay, like the Custom status bar

Glad you're liking it!
What parts of the app do you think are rough?
Hi Tom,
Yet another great app from you!
I have a few suggestions I hope you'll consider.
1. Option to view battery % inside battery icon (see screenshot)
2. Option to blacklist certain apps, I understand why it can't be transparent so I would like to disable it on my launcher, which is the only place my stock status bar is transparent.
3. Possibly allow per app custom colours, maybe long press option to set the colour whilst in the app. The auto theme doesn't match a few apps.
Besides these points, really liking this & I've been looking for something like it to bring some order to my status bar because of the big notch.
Thanks

Yeah, that wouldn't be good!
Ironically, it would work on my TV box, because it has no status bar! But that's a pretty unusual situation.
Besides, I found a better solution for my TV box: MIUI-ify, which is another of your apps! It can create a mini-status bar at the bottom, where it can be transparent without letting something unwanted "show through." And of course it adds a notification shade, which I never had before (lacking a true status bar).
I'm keeping the Super Status Bar on my phone though. Thanks again for both great apps.

I replied to you on Telegram, but incase others were interested:
1 & 2. I'll add these to my list
3. This'll be coming soon
Also, for anyone waiting for updates, Google has stated that any new app updates can take 7 days to appear on the Play store, as a result of COVID-19.
So updates may be a bit delayed, for the next few weeks.
