[APP][2.3+] Vcustomize 1.0

An app to make calls and record voice memos without having to unlock the screen or look at it.
After years of shying away from the new OS (WP, android, iOS) because of lack of control, I decided to give up my WM6.5 phone and write an app myself.

Vcustomize lets you make calls, record and listen to voice memo, turn on flash light, and tell time while the phone stays in its cover. Since Android does not allow keypress access to background services, I use proximity sensor to know when the phone is in cover and only then I bring the actual app up. This way it's almost invisible to the user. The sensor can be overridden though.
It's not perfect, but I am working with whatever resources android provides. I use it daily and could not live without it, despite the shortcomings. So I decided others should be able to benefit from it as well. I have tried to make the description as simple as possible, have uploaded a demo video, and made the app free with ad-support.
I hope to add more customizing options if there is enough interest.
Please send feedback and suggestions at [email protected]

I have released version 2.01. It includes many features available on the screen when phone is locked.
----------------------------------------------
2.01
- added flashlight
- added review calls (need directory configured in /sdcard0/vcustomize/callrecordings.txt)
-----------------------------------------------
update history
2.00 - fixed force close problem. App runs without crashing.
- added options on touchscreen to
- make calls (need directory configured in /sdcard0/vcustomize/contacts.txt. format is "name|number")
- record voice memos
- interval shooting ( can be termed spy cam)
- backup files (need backup script configured in /sdcard0/vcustomize/backup.txt. format is "source|destination|delete-source-after-copying-flag")

Going to give this a go thanks for this!

Release version 2.02. I have added timers and alarms (you lose them if phone reboots), full screen postview, and some general stability improvements

It took me two hours to add option to turn off data and wifi when screen is turned off. My android reported 4% battery loss in 6 hours, that's 150 hrs or 6 days of idle time! This was with a bunch of apps and messengers running in background (obviously deprived of data).
The only downside is you will not get any updates from network based apps (gtalk, messenger, email, whatsapp etc) when screen is turned off. but they will get updated in seconds after turning on the screen.

I'd really like to try this app but play store says my device is not compatible. I'm running gingerbread 2.3.4

[4.3+][APP][ROOT] LED Control 1.3 - for Motorola Devices (MULTI-COLOR SUPPORT!)

Hey people!
UPDATE: Now supports MULTIPLE LED COLORS!
Go ahead and give it a try!
To the world, I proudly present my first ever Android app

}
LED Control​
• So what does it do?
Lets the user select kernel specific "charging triggers" for the device's LED which will make it light up when plugged in depending on the specific "charging triggers"​
• Why this app?
Well all of these triggers can be set from the command line, but I found it to be very cumbersome and tedious. Motivated by my laziness, I created this app. Although it was intended for the Moto G, I discovered that it would also work on Moto X, E and Nexus 6 too, theoretically on any device which has a "charging" LED.​
• Features:
Clean and simple UI (I have tried my best to make it Material Design compliant)
Brightness Slider: Control your 'charging' LED's brightness while charging, if your device supports it. Currently works only on Moto X and Nexus 6.
Set On Boot [PRO only] : Automatically sets the last chosen trigger on a reboot, since the values are reset each time the kernel restarts. Available in Pro version only.
LED Color [PRO only] NEW : Choose between 3 LED colors if your device supports it (Nexus 6, Moto X, Droid Ultra). Available in Pro version only. (Read NOTE below)
Available triggers: (You may not see all in your device)
While Charging
While Charging through Adapter
Battery Full
While Charging or Battery Full
While Charging (Blnking) or Battery Full
While connected to USB
When Display is on
On Internal Storage I/O Activity
On External Storage I/O Activity
When flashlight (rear LED) is on
When camera flash (rear LED) is on
When Bluetooth is enabled
Always on
* ROOT ACCESS IS REQUIRED *​• Instructions:
Grant Root access on first run
Enable the Master Switch
Select a trigger and optionally choose brightness.
Plug in your charger and see the magic
There are different triggers for different devices, so try experimenting
• Screenshots: (from Pro Version) (Screenshots are outdated; will update soon. Till then I recommend viewing them on Play Store itself)
NOTE:
This will 'enable' the hidden LED on your Moto X/Nexus 6. This app cannot set it to be used for notifications; it can only use it as a charging indicator.
The Brightness slider will not work on devices where there's a kernel limitation on setting the brightness- specifically the Moto G and Moto E.
Moto G and Moto X in this whole post refer to 2013 models only, I have not tested on 2014 models.
The app is tested and confirmed working on Nexus 6, Moto G, E, X and Droid Ultra/MAXX. However, it may also work on a Motorola phone other than the above, so give it a try, can't hurt
The newly added LED Color implementation is still in development and is not perfect, so you may encounter bugs. If so, kindly let me know. Thanks!
• Downloads:
Free Version: The APK is attached at the bottom of this post, but I recommend to download from Google Play to get automatic updates
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kdb.ledcontrolfree
Pro Version: If you like my work and wish to support me, please get LED Control Pro, which unlocks the Set On Boot feature too.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kdb.ledcontrol
P.S: Since I'm utterly new to Android/Java programming this app took me several hours spanned over several weeks to build. But it was an awesome experience and I had a heck of a time coding it. :good:
I look forward to making more apps in 2015.​
• Reporting Compatibility: If this app works on your device, and its not among the ones mentioned above, please reply to this thread with your device's details or send me a PM.
• Source: This app is open source too! Grab it on Github here. Feel free to take a look and suggest fixes to imperfections, if any.
• WARNING
This app has the potential of blocking your notification LED if you use a Moto G/ Moto E (a separate LED blinks just beside the dedicated charging LED but you might not notice it).
Please be aware that I (KDB223), nor XDA nor anyone but you yourself are responsible for the consequences of you missing an important notification due to this app.​

@KDB223
If I were you, I'd specify what Moto G/X variants does this runs on. I mean, you have a Moto G 2013 (the XT1033 model), so you tested it on that, but, have you tested it on the 2014 variants? If not it would be a good idea to specify that "this has been tested on the 2013 variants only".
Because there is some people who can be confused with the variants.

if this works as you say it does then youre a god.

anyone tried on nexus 6 ?
EDIT
works okish, on the paid version do u get more triggers?

No its just the ability to set it on boot automatically and basically donation.
I can look into adding more triggers if possible.

ok thanks

Just got it, confirmed on Nexus 6.
I got the paid version of it, would love to see more triggers and/or multi-select.
Thanks!

I am a bit confused. Does Moto G have 2 LEDs? One for charging and one for notifications? If so, why is the second LED disabled by default?

Description:
Pokemon GO (Ingress) is running while your screen is on and unlocked. It needed for detect steps for hatching eggs and to catch Pokemon!
This app allows you to lock and black out screen without stopping Pokemon GO process. In this case you can put your smartphone in your pocket and walk without fear of unwanted screen presses. Also you can save battery life by putting the screen in a lower power state.
For Amoled screen's devices, this means close to zero battery drain while, in LCD screens, the lowest brightness will help a lot to save battery. For devices with Root access, we have special option, to turn off screen completely.
☆ All options Unlocked for 3 days!
Features:
1. Automatical detect when Pokemon GO (Ingress) app start
2. You can create own list of apps to activate Battery GO Helper
3. Use several methods of locking screen
4. Double click to unlock.
5. Keep the screen always on while the game is in foreground.
6. If you have a compatible device the proximity sensor will turn the screen off, so this is also good for LCD devices.
7. Sound control when the screen is black. Mute or maximise sound
8. Lock the hardware buttons while the app is running!
9. Special option for device with Root access.
How to use:
1. Activate application
2. Launch Pokemon Go (Ingress) or other app from selected list
3. Use any way to block screen, from selected in Settings section
Notes:
Don't press your phone's power button after locking Pokemon GO as that would cause your screen to fully turn off and for Pokemon GO to stop.

Your phone need to be rooted because Android restricts Apps with "WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" in their manifest.
This App is, of course, free, open-source, GPL-V3, without any ads! I've made everything: Material Icons based on Google Guidelines, Developement, website, packaging.
It's for you! Eh, after all, you gave me LineageOS on my old Sony Xperia SP

Finally I found this (on F-Droid), thanks!
Do you know if it works on Pie?
(I always depended on Xposed + Airplane Mode Helper + Timeriffic.
But I want to use Pie, which doesn't have Xposed.
Forgive me, I can of course try myself, but that takes hours if unsuccessful.)
Minor feature requests (idk if you still care/maintain, but you asked, so there):
- Be able to set times while toggle is set on Disabled
- When changing time, preset time chooser to current setting, instead of always 23h/8h

Thanks for testing!
Actually, your comment has motivated me to rework on this App. I switched from unlocked Xperia to locked Galaxy S7. It was very complicated but I successfully managed to be root again. I will rework on the UI, and make it close to Google Calendar (week view).
I've found an open source library which does that, so it will be easy to set offline periods.

My pleasure, thanks for listening!
Yes, it works fine on Galaxy S4 Mini LTE + AospExtended 4.6 (Nougat).
As you are still interested in feedback:
Personally I really don't care about this, but it doesn't trigger exactly on time, maybe only during Doze mode "maintenance windows" every 9 minutes. I already disabled Battery optimization for it.
Maybe most people (like me) already use other schedule/profile apps that have plenty features, so they don't search for alternatives.
But afaik, they all need Xposed + Airplane Mode Helper.
So maybe your app gets more popular, as long as your app does work on Pie, and Xposed does not.

Thanks for this app! I just discovered it recently and so far it does exactly what it is supposed to do: Automatically send the phone to airplane mode during the night and wake it up in the morning.
If you could as you mentioned add some form of a calendar view to the app then one could use the app much more individually (e.g. use different times on the weekend). That would be a great improvement!
Moreover, I would like to also add another feature request:
Would it be possible to enable/disable airplane mode only partially. For instance only switch off mobile connections while leaving Wifi turned on or the other way around?
Please keep up the good work :good:

Thanks for this app!Yes, it works fine on LG G5 .

It turns airplane mode on, but turning off isn't working. Android 10, Redmi Note 4, crdroid 6.11.
Update: on the 5th try it turned off. Really strange.

At least most of the time it works perfect on Android 9 (S4 Mini i9195, lineage-16.0-20200515).
I let it switch automatically, and rarely change settings or otherwise interfere.
I vaguely remember some failure, I might have rebooted or cleared cache in the past to solve it.
But that is so rare, that I can't remember exactly.

Hey everyone,
this app was published and sold for years on Google Play, until Google got too annoying with their permission restrictions and their bot removed the app. I didn't want to remove functionality so I just called it a day. Now, inspired from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, I decided to work on the app again, mainly for myself but there has been a constant stream of Mails asking me where it has gone, so I decided to republish it on some alternative App store for free (just as it once started). Long story short, I haven't found any useful alternative Appstore which is not abandoned or worse than Google Play, so here we are, trying to use this board as release home base.
Is it really me, the same developer? Yes and my updates use the same APK-Signature as on Google Play so you can check it (or just update an old version with these new ones). One note: I'm using the package name of the prior free/test version (which is now the full version). If you have bought the pro version years ago, you need to uninstall it and grab this one instead.
Red Alert​Go to Red Alert with this wallpaper!
A live wallpaper showing the Red Alert signal. But it's not just some eye candy, true to its original purpose it will help you to monitor your device and alert you about any important events. Missed a call from your friend without noticing? You won't ever again when the Red Alert flashes on your screen and the klaxon calls for your attention
Currently the following events can be set to trigger the yellow or red alert:
Messages: SMS, MMS, GMail, Skype, WhatsApp, Kik, Snapchat, Telegram
Any other Notifications
Missed Calls: Phone, Skype, Viber
Alarm Clock
Battery Level and charging state
Phone Temperature
Failed Unlock Attempts
Signal Loss (WiFi or Mobile)
This app is free, complete and contains no ads. It does offer an option to donate.

Changelog​v3.6
Fixed the Alarm Clock functionality (which got broken by newer Android Versions)
Added the option to show an alert indicator on Always-On-Displays (which many OLED phones have, but I tested it with my Pixel 6 mostly)
Fixed the LCARS picture alert animation which was messed up on phones with a narrow display
Added Telegram implementation for third-party alerts
Some minor fixes
v3.5
It's been a while For now the full version of Red Alert is free and without any ads. Consider leaving a tip if you enjoy it.
Battery alerts now offer different battery source to monitor. For now the one additional option besides the phone battery is Daly BMS Bluetooth, which is used in some (and mine) lithium batteries you can find in RVs and so on
Removed the old voice command implementation due to its subpar recognition rate. For future versions support of google assistant is planned
Fixed the alert on snapchat implementation (more fixes coming)
Added a new alert trigger for all notifications not handled already by a third-party trigger
Advanced users: Turn on the Always-On-Display on alerts (mostly for Pixel 6), more stuff for the AoD to planned
Additional Instructions:​If you want to enable the "Always-on-Display on Alert" functionality, which allows you to turn off the Always-On-Display usually but only enable it when there is an alert, you will have to use the following line in the Android Debug Tools to grant the required permission:
adb shell pm grant com.oldplanets.redalertwallpaper android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

I'm not sure which phones support this function other than Pixel 6, but it requires at least Android 12.
