[APP][2.2+]Simple Flashlight

Hello Everybody,
I am new member of this forum and new android developer.
Here is my very first and very simple application already available in Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.techcraft.simpleflashlight (copy this link to your browser or search in google play for phrase pl.techcraft.simpleflashlight)
Simple Flashlight use camera LED if available (screen is dark with minimum brightness to reduce battery consumption) or white screen with maximum brightness. No additional features, minimal user interface, no unnecessary permissions, no ads.
I have only one android device (LG L9) so I will be very happy for tests and comments how it works on other devices.

Simple and handy.
Nexus 5, working good.

Installed it on my nexus 5 , works good. Just would like to see the app a little different. If you open the app, make a switch available for turning on and off the light, and create a widget for fast turning on and off the ligt.

My idea was to keep gui (and whole app) as simple as possible, but maybe add one switch isn't a bad idea.
I have got widget in my plans for near future

I think the same! Exactly! So just make it with switch for on/off once you open the apk and one widget.

-Ability to follow users (add them to your Instagram account)
-Clickable locations (see on a map)
-Pick a location to watch
-Adjust the radius to watch
-View your liked photos

Hi @Flyview cool concept. You asked for feedback. I think you should allow the transitions to be slower 2 seconds is to fast.

I don't really understand the seconds of the transition is it random ?
You might want to show a small overlay as a tutorial on first start I found the one tap to pause which is nice and the two tap to like, but I liked a picture without knowing what the 2 tap would do and I don't know which one it was
I'd like a go back feature too, if you see a picture and right when it disappears you notice something but you can't go back, so just a see previous like a swipe right.
Living in Paris I learned with your app that most pictures on instagram are of the Eiffel tower

Getting a blank screen many times.

It will show a new picture whenever there is a new one available (up to minimum of every second), this will be configurable. I have to think of a good way to show previous pictures. I was thinking the old ones would become scrollable below but if someone new comes to the app they may think it's like Instagram where the point is to scroll down. And yes, intro overlay should be added as well. That's awesome about Paris haha!

What mode are you in? Are you watching a tag or area?
Sent from my Nexus 5

good idea, but this is what I get right after connecting. no access to anything!
btw does it work with gps only or can it localise based on network?

Cool idea but I think the suggestions above are a must. Keep it up man

Hmmm that's not good. Do you have Google apps installed? What's your Android OS and ROM? It'll work with whatever location provider is available, GPS is not necessary.

Do you mean "Google apps device policy"? no
I run 4.4.2 on Asus A86 device

@Flyview nice app i have few suggestions
1. Ability to select the distance range for nearby pictures
2. Ability to click the user of the pic uploader, which takes directly to their profile so that we can follow them.
3. Custom picture refresh time.
4. Add an overlay which has buttons to Pause/Play Previous/Next buttons.

tried uninstall, reinstall and login.
there is an error warning warning telling me i have to enable cookies in my browser, or disable private mode? then this blank screen all the time. only way to reach login page is uninstall/reinstall

Oh ok that makes sense then. You need to enable cookies in Chrome (or whatever browser the Instagram login page is using). Otherwise LivePics can't log you in to your Instagram account.

well i checked and cookies are enabled in every browser installed: default, chrome, firefox, opera. not sure witch one instagram is using. will dig deeper in settings.

Same problem, I only get a white screen. Running KiKat on a stock TMobile Note 3. Tried clearing data. Hangs on login screen usually, then it will give the login/cookies error message. If I get past that, back to white screen. Tried uninstalling, then reinstalling - same results.
04/14 - update installed this week - fixed the problem - working fine now.

I will see if it's anything that could be off in the code, a few people seem to be experiencing this. Any more info is appreciated.

So do you ever see the screen where you enter username/password for instagram or does the message come before that? A screenshot would be great!

error message appear after login. then blank screen.

Anyone else experiencing slight judder or lag?

Love the phone, but for a company to tout its performance I'd expect a buttery smooth experience. However, this is not the case. I occasionally experience a slight lag or judder while moving across screens, opening apps, opening folders, etc. I don't know if this is due to 7.0 nougat as I have heard some stories of its inefficiencies which is why its updated to 7.1 now, but I do hope that when it does get updated to 7.1 in Feb this will go away. Anyone else experiencing this?

I noticed a small lag when opening folders, so I downloaded the Google now launcher and the folder lag is gone. I also have my animations turned down to .5 seconds in developer settings.

Are you talking primarily Huawei launcher?
I personally use Nova or Google Launcher(when i can change dpi) without issue.
I was just thinking the other day, the phone is stupid smooth and figured I would have experience some type of lag. Only lag I encounter is with Chrome browser but Im the type with 99(smiley face) tabs running.

Yes, I was talking about the Huawei Launcher having a slight lag at times when opening folders. It's not bad and not consistent, but it does happen at times. The Google now launcher is butter.

I dont know if it would work but one of the first things I do is turn animations to .25/.5 under devolper options. Worth a shot if you want to stick with Huawei launcher.

Yeah I already did that too. It helps for sure. Another thing...In developer settings, right under the Window and Transition animation scale settings, there is a setting called "smallest width" that you can use to change the screen density. The higher the number, the smaller everything gets (opposite from changing the screen density in the build prop). Anyways, when I change this to my liking, the Huawei Launcher gets very choppy, but the Google now launcher is very smooth. So that's another reason to use the Google launcher or Nova.

The issue is the twin app do not work with 3rd party launchers....

I have massive scroll lag when using Google Play Games but that's it. Everything else namely the UI eye candy is buttery smooth.

The Mate 9 I had before this one did have lag, but I sent the it back due to GPS problems.

Thank you for reminding me of the smallest width option. Remember wanting to play with that when I got the phone but I forgot.
That needs its own thread.

What is your favorite value?

I like to keep my display size on large and set the value in developer settings to 500. This keeps the navigation buttons bigger and more spread out. If I set the display to small and then adjust the value, my nav buttons get really small and very close together.

Keyboard seems to be non-responsive from time to time. I have noticed this accross multiple apps, inclusive of chrome. Have to back out and click the input area of the apps/browser for the keyboard to work again.

First number I tried was 500. Will test when I get back home Monday.
Seriously someone create a thread . This is very valuable.
I don't need root now, and with the lower dpi Google now doesn't look disgusting.
Straight up blonde moment.

Changing the animation speeds in developer options makes a big difference along with the width settings.

90hz Refresh rate on Poco x3 NFC !?

Hello
If the screen by default support refresh rate from 60~120 Hz ! Why there is no option to limit screen refresh rate On "90Hz" ?
Is it hardware matter or software optimization !?

It's a software limitation. Use a custom ROM to get a consistent experience. All of them have it as an option.

There is a post in this forum about how to set 90hz.
It doesn't require root it flash custom ROM.
One app from Google play is sufficient. I have tried and it worked.

Use setedit app... No rot required... On Android 11 it will show 90hz on the setting... Previously it would show only 120 or 60 but in reality it's 90...

[APP][6.0+] Always On Screen - AOD app for all android devices

Hello everyone,
Once again, I'm presenting to you an all-new Always On Display app for all android devices running Android 6.0 and up. This app is the remake of my old App which was only for Samsung. Now it works on any android device. If you don't know what actually Always On Display is, It is a feature that shows important information such as Time, Date, Battery, Notifications, etc on your screen when it is not being used. This feature works best with devices that have an AMOLED screen, as the pixel goes off so the power consumption is very less.
This app has many improvements from its older version such as more battery efficiency, better performance, new features, and many more.
Key features are:
Android 6.0+ Supported
Screen oritentation option
Paged clock with new watchfaces
Edge clock with music controls
Rearrangable Widgets (Music controls, Weather, Next Alarm, Today's schedule)
Multiple Display modes such as wave to show and Lift to show etc
Screen timeout to save battery
Whole new color palette with custom color support and gradient support
Many new Wallpapers
New Font option added.
Battery optimization tweaks
Multistyle colored notifications with unread count.
Enhanced Burn-in protection, Movement of clock and home key both
Memo text
and much more
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Spoiler: Upcoming Features
New Signature clock
GIF support for Image clock
Detailed notification view
Remaining are kept as a surprise

Have you set a lockscreen in settings?
It can be a bug. I'm not sure. But first confirm you have already set a lockscreen and instant lock with power button is on.

A beta update with a fingerprint option is available on the play store. Install it and let me know whether it is working properly or not.

This issue has been resolved in the latest beta version 1.3.7. Update the app from the play store.

Dear dev, this is the best AOD app i've tried (and i have tried maaaaany app).. I'll test for battery drain (Samsung a20e), but for now, well done!

A whole new look with new clock faces is coming soon...

Great APP, can you add more timeout options ? the best will be custom timeout

I've been trying out a few different aod apps, but for whatever reason this one won't work at all. I'm using One Plus nord n10 5g phone, I disabled battery optimization, have everything set up, but when I turn off the screen there is nothing . All black. Any thoughts? Thanks.
