Hi all,
I switch between android and ios every year. For example i have been using note5 till the iPhone 7 came out and switched to ip7. Now from ip7 switched to note 8.
Whatever iPhone i use i m always jailbroken.
Here are my observations.
Iphone has always been known for great apps and app store. While Android is great and known for the customization. But i always found that iphone always had better customization interms of integration 3rd party apps into the system while being jailbroken. For example. There is an app called whoozit pro on iPhone that can just pull info from a regular app store app like truecaller and display it on the incoming call screen. While Android truecaller app can also notify you with a banner on the screen, the iPhone displays text like it was from the contacts itself and looks much more like like stock, but android banner looks like some third-party advertising.
Another app called bioprotect simply locks apps using touch id. I haven't found a single app on the entire play store that can properly lock apps all these years. When an bioprotect locked app is tried to open it instantly askes for touchid and also blurrs out the preview in the recents screen. while every app on the Android allows users to see a snapshot of the app for a milli second befor asking for fingerprint. And worst when pressed recents button u can see a preview of the app all time you want. I dont see why a developer cant built a good app locker that can truly protect the privacy. Thinking of previews in notification its even worse too. No app does that too. While iphone has better cydia apps that does.
Some apps directly add buttons and functionality to the stock dialer apps, some can lock albums in the stock gallery app,
The list goes on.. None of these are available for Android and we brag customization.
Please share your thoughts

I like the concept. I like that you are able to quickly get an overview of messages, calendar, calls and you can adjust was you like it. It would be better if it had facebook, twitter intergration as part of all the other info panels also.
The only issue here I see is that the whole notion of android is the widgets...which I like. I'll keep it on for awhile to test it out. Maybe it will grow on me.
It's basically windows mobile homescreen.
I agree with archboy, great concept, but still missing some customization features. The ability to move an item from the top half to the bottom half is needed. This would be great if it could also be used as a fullscreen widget, so that I could still use the rest of my screens.
I wish this was a lock screen.
IMO, this information oriented approach instead of the action/application oriented approach is much better in terms of productivity.
The only drawback of this application? I cannot access to some widgets/actions and I do really want to be able to do things like enable wireless, 3g, change brightness... without the pain of going through the setup menus.
A good solution to this problem would be a light weight home screen app which could be launched from slide screen and load the the 4 or 5 widgets I need. I've tried aHomeMini but it forcecloses, any suggestions?
@iVisionX01: yeah, having it as a lock screen is also great but, again, I won't need the full featured home app.

Tried it for a couple of hours, but missing customizability and getting settings too far out of reach made me uninstall quickly.
I wish it was a widget!
Try QuickDesk or PowerStrip with this, working great for me, very pleasing to the eye..
wow i cant believe i missed this home screen
should be perfect with QuickDesk and PowerStrip
i dont get it??? Whats it suppose to do??
It's a shame FroYo won't let you change default launcher programatically any more (you have to do it through the settings). I would love to have had Tasker set this is default when I was at work, then LauncherPro the rest of the time
Hey Guys,
Its a great application landing to Galaxy S4
Most people make do with a PIN or pattern lock to secure their Android devices. If you need something a little stronger (or just want to feel like Ethan Hunt) EyeVerify has just released the beta version of an app that uses honest-to-goodness eye scans. Eyeprint takes a photo of your face, then matches the pattern of blood vessels on your eyeballs to a previous photo to access locked apps.

Technically, Eyeprint isn't using the classic retina scan to grant access - that would require a small amount of infrared light to illuminate the membrane at the back of the eye. It uses the same principle of amazingly unique vein patterns, but it picks them up from the corners of your eyes. Users need a front-facing camera of at lest 2 megapixels. To create the baseline, you'll have to follow the instructions while using the rear camera, looking to the far left and right to let the camera pick up the veins on your eyes. After that, a quick scan of your eyes looking left and right from the front-facing cam should do the trick.
EyeVerify hopes to expand its services to other developers on Android and iOS through an SDK. At present, the app can only lock other apps - you can't actually unlock your phone with an eye scan. (There's a quick "lock all" option for the truly paranoid.) Early feedback from the Play Store indicates that it's very efficacious, so hopefully more devices will be enables as the beta program continues. The Eyeprint App Lock Beta is free to try for 30 days.

Thanks to AP for the same.
just tried it yesterday , the concept is cool but too much wakelock in its current state . uninstalled it after few hours of usage since it topped wakelock detector. waiting for future updates, its having some great potential
Remember App Ops? Back in Jelly Bean 4.3, the feature could be accessed by resourceful users to switch on or off permissions for individual apps. By KitKat 4.4.2, the feature was completely hidden from users. Google's explanation was that App Ops was never meant for public consumption - it was devised for internal debugging only. But users had gotten a taste of granular app permission controls and wanted more.
Permission controls would ostensibly live in two places - first, in the app itself, where users will be asked for permission using a series of dialogs. Whether all these dialogs will have to be dealt with immediately before opening the app or if they'll be spread out over the course of use remains to be seen. Evidently, granular permission control will be on for every app automatically, with developers left to decide what the app should do if it is denied permission. This is a potentially worrisome scenario, since apps will need to be updated to degrade gracefully with less and less permissions, but we'll have to wait and see what happens.

The second home of permissions controls will be in the device's Settings app. It appears users will have access to a very familiar-looking interface with a list of permissions and toggles to switch on or off permissions as they see fit.
This is for users, this is a good thing, after all, allows users to better control the application's behavior. However, for developers, if you are rejected by the user, you may not get the information you want.
How this will impact developers remains to be seen, but with a dev preview of M expected this year, there will hopefully be enough time for developers to tie up any loose ends before Macadamia Nut Cookie hits a wide release.
Agreed, now just waiting for I/O to conclude and Google to throw the switch on the M "Marshmallow" preview and see how it preforms, I personally haven't had the L bugs many have/had but battery life is still a shame, let's hope doze does the trick.

The new Google Now stuff has me more excited than anything else... http://techanet.co.uk/google-now-gets-system-wide-integration-and-smart-enhancements/
my screen for showing all open apps and opening any one I tap, doesn't show many apps at a time
Here is the screen from my Moto,

Here s the screen from my doogee y6c that shows far more apps
Is there any way I can make the moto show open apps like the doogee screen?
Thanks
My understanding is the recents screen is now part of the launcher.
Try a different launcher, set as default, possibly disabling the stock launcher.
This is not a Motorola issue, it's a change in android.
Also it's recent apps, not running apps. The right name will help you find info.
It's not a part of the launcher. It's just an Android 9 Pie recent apps menu redesign.

Other sources say the functionality was moved into the launcher. So a 3rd party launcher could help after disabling the stock launcher.

It's not a functionality of the Moto launcher per se. Maybe they moved it under launchers control in general? If so that's an odd decision and the first I've heard of such a thing in Android. Also I don't see any alternative option in Nova launcher, which I'm using , and which is usually up to date with this kind of stuff.

I don't have a pie device currently. Just some stuff I saw looking for info.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-pie-recent-apps-customization/
There's a Magisk module (QuickSwitch) that can be used for changing which launcher handles the recents functionality.

I was holding off on updating, after getting the Android 11 notification a few days ago in the UK, as I couldn't see much user feedback on One Hyper upgraded to Android 11. But I updated it today and while it seems to be working OK (with seemingly no loss in general performance), I did immediately notice a bug/feature on wallpapers.
It doesn't matter which app you use to apply a wallpaper, the system seems to take over and crop the image. When you pull down the notifications bar it zooms back out to the original 1:1 wallpaper.

Forgive the quality of the above gif, I didn't want to overload the thread with a massive image. But you get the idea.
I did a Google search and it seems to be a common issue, at least on some Android 11 devices, I saw some archived reddit threads from 2020. It's a shame but thankfully there is a workaround (if a little clunky). Apparently live wallpapers escape this weird bug/feature, so with an app like KLWP you can turn a wallpaper (like some of the 1080x2340 formatted wallpapers I made) into a live wallpaper. Again it works but for such a simple thing, it's a shame you have to jump through hoops that weren't there in Android 10.
Eh, why do they need to do these things. I'm already really annoyed that the lockscreen overlays a color tone over the image, dampening all cool vibrant colors and contrast. When i now choose a lockscreen wallpaper i have to overdrive the colors and contrast before applying it to counter the tone.
is this a bug? I thought it was some new effect of the system, if you repair it well, when you are using the Motorola launcher and make the gesture to open the app drawer, the same thing happens.
Whether it's simply an annoying new feature or a bug, either way it would be nice if it was an option.
Again I'm able to use the KLWP app to get around it, but its a lot of extra hoops for such a simple feature (and not a particularly intuitive app to use).
