Privacy Dots​
Powerful app that indicates whether other apps or services uses your location, camera and microphone. Be aware, after granting any of those permissions to an app they can use features without your knowing or as we call it "spying".
This app will help in that manners
Location permission
Use location permission to determine when other apps are using location access to share your current location.
Privacy Dots does not use either share or store your location, instead, permission is just used for detecting whether other apps or services use the location access.
Accessibility service
Enabling accessibility service is required to enable privacy monitoring which detects whether the applications have used your hardware such as camera and microphone.
All information received during app active time will stay locally (on your device). Once the app data is removed or uninstalled everything will be removed.

Great Project! Good work! So now we can find the spy apps easily!

Thanks for your reply. Later today or till the end of a week, I'll add more customization, such as position, color, etc. It'll be fun ^^
Also planning to do several behaviors when they do appear and disappear from the screen.

does this work only for third party apps accessing the cam / mic / gps, or does it work when system apps access them too?

It works for both.

just trying it out, looks great so far!
i noticed that for me, the bottom location options are incorrectly labelled:
choosing 'bottom left' actually displays the dot bottom right
choosing 'bottom center' actually displays the dot bottom left
choosing 'bottom right' actually displays the dot bottom center
but those are easy to work around once you know.
wish list stuff would be - a true custom colour picker (not just from preset default choices), and moving the dots to the status bar.
great job! i really like it

preaty neat app good work
A very nice looking app, for sure. You need to add compatibility with automatic brightness control though. Thanks.
Looks good will be checking it out!
I like it but i think i'll stick with Quick Settings from the market.
It's also free and doesnt have the 'please donate' banner on the top.
I used to have an iphone so i've been looking for an "sbsettings" equivalent for android, your app comes pretty close in that it is a grid with icons but it still lacks the ability to customize the order of the toggles. The Screen brightness toggle needs to have automatic on it somehow too. Last thing i would prefer is having a close button on the top left or right or something so we dont need to touch the physical 'back' buttons on our phones.
All in all this seems very promising, i'll check it out again after a few updates.
Part Four, in nearest time we try to add auto-brightness feature. Thanks for your feedback
PhantomRampage, thanks for your suggestions. We understand that there's Quick Settings in Market, but we need money for development. We think users will choose app that likes him. We think that Quick Settings is very cool app, but we don't like its UI, but there're more features now.

Thanks! It's nice to have speedy access to my settings from the notification bar. The app I was using before, Toggle Settings, is too bloated and worked sooo slowly. This is a MUCH better app. Thanks again.

[APP] NClip (Notifications /w clipboard integration)

Updated and nicer
I once had an idea for this app, so i started learning Java to make it happen.
I had a need to keep important information from my clipboard at the front of my attention (e.g text message,email etc) so I added some features and the result is NClip

OMG, this is exactly the app i was looking for.
I had the idea of such an app for months!
Thanks for it!
the cat ran across the road?!
wow! m already starting to like this app,
xD
pretty cool,i've been looking for somthing like this.
Suggestions
This is a great great app and a really good idea.. but I wanna give you some suggestions. The GUI is messy and doesn't properly use space.
On the very top is the Clipboard entry area (this should be at the bottom as its not usually used) it occupies immediately 1/2 of the screen with a large area that is totally wasted. Then, if there are contents on the clipboard they are not displayed nicely in the window (really ugly).
Then because of large unused area for the clipboard, now the Custom entry are is hidden when the keyboard is pulled-up (which by the way should pop-up immediately and it doesn't). Then if I want to add an icon, that menu selection is at the very bottom, so I have to close the keyboard to get there and, that menu doesn't have icon previews, just bullets (it needs icon previews as like the PICK ICON menu item). Finally the NOTE CUSTOM MESSAGE is at the very bottom (worse place), needs to be at the top.
All this makes a single entry an endless effort of way too many clicks to get anything done. I'm on a 7" Galaxy Tab. Look at the screenshots and get inspired
Finally, for this app to make ANY SENSE, it needs to be AS EASY TO ACCESS AS THE NOTES IT CREATES!!!!!!!!!! So, make it run as a hidden notification so it can be pulled down from the taskbar and activated (like the app Clipper - Clipboard manager for example.. you can check it out on the market if you are not sure what I mean)
Really nice app though. I want to love it.. you just need to make it right now
I've already added some features to the program, including the short cut you suggested, just my keystore is 100+ miles away on my desktop so I cant yet publish the update (its been sitting around for over a month).
I have also updated the gui, it shows only what is relevant at a given moment and keyboard no longer poses an issue on my nexus s, literally the app has everything you want (its just not published), i'm working on it

havok123, thanks for the feedback, this is great news! I didn't mean at all to be harsh or overly criticizing.. think your app is truly fantastic and therefor I just would like it you to get it perfect! I'm happy you decided to learn Java just to program this... totally worth it!
When you have an update for the or if you want me to help you beta test/trouble shoot an updated version, post the info here on the thread or PM me. Id love to help you if I can.
Keep up the great work and when its perfect make a paid version. It will be worth it and I think many people would buy it. You can definitely count me in and your work should be rewarded!
Just uploaded update finally.
Updated to 3.0
Changelog:
What's in this version:
N Clip Shortcut
Edit notifications on click
Updated GUI
Bug fixes
Great update, interface much more workable & cleaner.
One suggestion that immediately comes 2mind is, get rid of the sticky app icon that shows up on taskbar when selecting the enable shortcut option. No ned & cluttery. IfU add a note without chooding custom icon, now there are DOUBLE app icons on the taskbar being displayed one of which is NOT a note.. very confusing and unecessary.
If the enable shortcut opion is chosen, we know its there in the pulldown menu already, thats enough &keeps taskbar cleaner for actual notifications only
going to get on it over christmas break xD

Unfortunately it looks like TheFoxute has ripped off this app (along with several other open source apps) on Google Play, with zero attribution to original authors (again). This is a well known problem with the Play store, and one reason I don't recommend using it.
So if you're looking to donate to open-source developers, know that in general "buying" from Google Play may not be supporting the developer, and worse yet, could possibly have some unwanted "extras" added by whoever changed the app and added it to Play.

Thanks for bringing this to my notice. Did not know of such cheap tricks! I will report the Play store app immediately.
EDIT: I notified both TheFoxute and the Play store support team about the infringement and the app got removed yesterday.
This badly needs an easier way to access and scroll through the records. It is so hard to tap the dots on the graph. Maybe when the info window comes up add the ability to swipe the very top to go through the records and keep the swipe at the bottom to scroll through created, deleted, changed. Or just add next and previous buttons. Also when I use the delete records from the options it does nothing, all the records are still there, and where does it save the log too also....love the concept, the UI just needs a few more options.

I will be adding the UI improvements in the next version. The plot needs a refresh after data is deleted, have to fix that too.
Logging is part of the standard logcat, tag is the app package name.
Awesome, thanks. Keep up the good work.

Enabling Push Notifications on Oppo A77 (Australian version)

Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased an Oppo A77 (in Australia), and am very impressed by the cost of the phone and the excellent hardware (Octa-core processor, 4 Gigs of RAM, and 64 Gigs of Storage - all for AU$350, or AU$300 on special!!!).
It has taken me some time to get used to ColorOS, which is Oppo's UI for Android. Make no mistakes an Android purist will struggle with this OS because it has clearly been designed to mimic the iPhone!
Once I got my head around the fact that there is no traditional Android menu and that all App icons must live on the home screen (just like on iPhone) I began to enjoy using ColorOS.
However there are at least two functional issues which I have noted with my A77, and the most glaring of these is the fact that it does not do Push notifications by default for almost all apps.
To make things interesting there are four individual settings, in four different locations, which must all be set correctly for Push notifications to work!
Section 1 - Add Apps to Startup
In order to save battery the A77 only starts what it sees as essential Apps.
As a result the first step in our process is to enable Apps at startup for which we wish to receive Push notifications.
a). Open the Security App (looks like a 'shield with a tick inside' on my A77)
b). Click on Privacy Permissions
{
"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"
}
c). Click on Startup Manager
d). Enable Apps which you want to startup with the phone (e.g.: Yandex Mail)
Section 2 - Enable Apps for Priority Notification
a). Open the Settings App (looks just like the one on an iPhone!)
b). Select App Management
c). Select All
d). Select an App of interest (e.g.: Yandex Mail)
e). Select Notification Manager
f). Enable Priority Notification
Note: You may also (optionally) want to enable 'Notification Light Flashing' to make it easier to see when a new message is present (should you not hear the phone)
Section 3 - Stop Apps Optimization
a). Open the Settings App
b). Select Battery
c). Select Energy Saver
d). Select the App of interest (e.g.: Yandex Mail)
e). Turn off Freeze when in Background
Section 4 - Lock Apps in Background
a). Start an App of interest (e.g.: Yandex Mail)
b). Press the Home button (to clear the screen)
c). Press the Recent Apps button (square button to the left of the Home button)
d). Lock App (of interest) by dragging down on it
The lock icon can be a little hard to see due to its size and transparency. Furthermore only one icon exists and it looks like an unlocked padlock. Make no mistake the unlocked padlock icon actually indicates that the App is now locked. Whereas the absence of a padlock icon indicates that the App is not locked!
At times the Security App may ask you to 'Optimize' your phone! Ignore alerts of this type as the phone is essentially asking you if you want to stop certain Apps from running at Startup; these will be the Apps that you have deliberately decided to start!!!
Following the instructions above will result in the Apps of your choice running at all times, and this does consume additional RAM, however with 4 Gigs of RAM to begin with I have not found this to be a concern. Furthermore additional battery consumption will occur, however in my experience the extra consumption is negligible.
Additional Apps which I have enabled at Startup are Carsales, Dropbox, Find My Device, Outlook, Roomster, Yandex.Mail and Yandex.Disk. Under normal operating conditions I usually have in excess of 1.5 to 2 Gigs of RAM spare despite having these Apps running.
Kind Regards,
Davo
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I purchased an OPPO r11s plust and not receiving e-mail notifications was driving me crazy.
Hi, i am user of OPPO F7 and i don't have startup setting rest all i applied but still no notification
Legend.
Absolute legend, thanks heaps.
Found myself in the same situation after the death of my Sony Xperia, and had tried everything but my alarm app and a couple of others kept getting force-closed and/or failing to show notifications after going to the background no matter what. That final tip for dragging down to lock an app in the app manager was the thing that did it, worked a charm. :good:

Looking forward to your feedback.
v0.7 is submitted with Android 6 support & some bug fixes
Hi Android 6 from Wisom with love!
v0.7 is live now.
Enjoy it!
This is definitely better than the alternate app recently released, for one its indicator doesnt completely dissapear (merge with the background) in dark mode...win
With my Pixel 2 XL, with the curved corners at the top, i have the indicator set to top centre/middle because otherwise its partially cutoff..... top centre./middle....perfect
I am working on the indicator customization and it will be released in the next version.
Of course, the indicator clipped issue on devices with screen corners will be fixed also.
Thanks
