[APP] Screener: app to "watch" youtube with screen off - Android Apps and Games

Hello,
I made an app which lets you watch youtube with screen off (it's just a black layer)
The app is most effective for AMOLED displays as it draws a black rectangle over youtube (or any other app) on request
Why did I need it:
Most of the lengthy videos I watch such as music albums, science talks, radio podcasts, etc do not need the video display but rather just the audio
It's a good way to save battery, I used to get around 15% on the next morning, now it's about 35%
How to use it:
Tap on the sticky notification if enabled. After the configured delay (default: 5s) a black layer will "turn the screen off"
Tap on the floating button inside the app to have the same effect
Tap on the black layer to remove it and switch your display back on

Download (attached):
View attachment screener-v1.0.1.apk
Developed and Tested on S6 Edge (5.1.1)
Things I should do:
- Make removing black layer by double tap on long press to avoid "accidentally" removing when phone is in pocket (subscribe, maybe I will roll down a few updates/revisions)
- Make app start with android (option)
- Test on Android 6 Marshmallow
Looking forward to your feedback
Thank you

Update v1.0.1
- Made the black layer disappear by long tap to prevent it from disappearing accidentally

Now available on Google Play
Added:
- Long tap to switch screen on
- Double tap to peek for few seconds

[App]Dockat -- a dock support gesture

To access Google Now, just swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
So can this gesture do something special instead of Google Now?
Somthing like a Dock?
Yes! This is the DOCKAT!
Dockat is the most convenient and intuitive way to switch between applications and adjust system settings for Android 4.1 and up.
Whether you're in the browser, at a home screen, or anywhere else, you'll always be able to call up Dockat by swiping up from the bottom edge of the screen, which is exactly the same as launching Google Now.
You can make your own Dockat by adding the most frequently used and favourite apps just like Dock.app in OS X.
And there are more:
1. Music Controller
Display the information of the now-playing music with three function keys, Fast Forward / Rewind and Pause / Play.
2. Quick Settings
Easy access to the Setting Menu and a slider to adjust the brightness setting.
3. Full-screen gestures
Swipe down to expand the notification panel. Especially designed for large screen phones.

Did you ever want to enjoy Youtube Videos with screen Off to save your battery?
With Screen Off Keep Playing, now, you can!
_______________________________________________________________
Works very good with Amoled Screens!
Due to Android limits isn't possible to turn off completely the screen but on Amoled Screen Black = No Battery Drain!
On LCD the black screen with the lowest brightness will help a lot to save your battery anyway.
_______________________________________________________________
When you launch "Screen Off Keep Playing" the App will ask for some permission. After that, you can launch the service and the App will wait in background until you decide to run it.
Long press and release the Volume Up Button and the screen will become black, showing the logo for 10 seconds. After that the logo will disappear and the brightness set to the lower value.
Example:
- Start a Youtube playlist, long click on volume up button and the screen will go black while your video is playing! If you need the screen on again just long press the volume up button again!
_______________________________________________________________
Remember: This app works over any other apps, so not only Youtube with screen off but every app!
IMPORTANT: This App works with a key event filter so can't be used with other apps that use the same permission like, for example, any button remap app.
PRO version without ADS and more features will come in the next days!
Update: now service will restart if killed by system

Wake screen for notifications

Two questions regarding "turn on screen for notifications" functionality on stock firmware OOS 11.0.8.12.KB05BA
In setting Display - Ambient display there is a 'New notifications' option, this option works only with Horizon Light
Is there a possibility to wake screen for notifications, but without color stripes on the sides?
Using search in settings you can find 'Wake screen for notifications' option.
Even if 'Ambient display' in setting is OFF, 'Wake screen for notifications' option can be turned ON, but screen doesn't wakes for new notifications.
Is it "an old" menu option that developers forgot to delete or am I missing some options to make it work?
My goal is to find a way to turn screen on for new notifications without fancy Horizon Light effects.
I'm using an app called Wake Up Screen and it works perfectly for me.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thank for your suggestion
for now I've decided to stick with aodNotify
it doesn't wake up the screen, but does a much better job (in my case) - emulates LED-light that I was missing so much
at first, while setting up this app, it's on top in statistic draining battery, but the next day it disappears from the list

Music showing up differently on lock screen

Hello there! as the title states music shows up differently on my lock screen.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, Android 12 & One UI version 4.1 - Lock Screen Version 7.1.89
The first image is my current lock screen and how music now plays. If I want to change songs I would have to click on the clock for me to get access (a screen recording will be provided below). This is frankly too much when trying to change music. If anyone knows how to change it back into the previous way as seen in the second image (not mine, but is how I would like the music player to show - as it did before).
I know its not big of a deal but I usually play music while driving so having to press an extra button (while unlikely) seems like a safety risk.
I have tried:
- Resetting app preferences
- Turn on/off notifications on Spotify
- Turn on/off playback on Spotify
- Logging out and back on Spotify
- Uninstalling and reinstalling/ Updating Spotify
- Tried a different music app. Same thing
If anyone knows how to fix this it would be mean a lot.
Thank you.

Use the "media and devices" to associate the music being played with it and set visibility on the locked screen.
