[APP] GPS Notification

GPS Notification is a passive application that displays your current GPS information in your notification bar. It starts automatically whenever something uses the GPS.
It is available on Google Market and Amazon for $0.99! I've been developing this for several months, but haven't been advertising it at all. Perhaps it is time for that to change!

GPS Notification is very configurable. The icon displayed in the status bar can display the number of satellites in view or use, or your speed, or your accuracy, making this a convenient "at-a-glance" tool if you're using a Maps app and want some GPS related information not being shown.

}
Pulling down the notification shade will show more detailed information, such as the signal strengths of each satellite as bar graphs, and if your GPS has a lock, even more information such as your accuracy, speed, bearing, lat/lon, and altitude
The application is configurable, although you will never need to configure it if you do not wish to. You can have the settings screen run the GPS for as long as you are there, to see your changes immediately.
I would appreciate comments and feedback! In particular, while I've tested on my own devices, I haven't tested on all of them. Note that the application doesn't really look great on Honeycomb; that may be another update down the line.

I've been using this app for a while and have found it very useful. Really Google should think of including something similar to this in the default GPS notification, but in the meantime this works well
Good job.

Thank you for the kind words! Any problems, or requests, or ideas?

Hi there,
this is for sure a nice app. But better watch out, that you don't violate the forum rules. They say that it is not ok, to try to sell (advertise) any app unless there isn't a free version (can be ad-supported) shared for the community.
Please check these links:
Forum Rules (espacially post 2, point 11): http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263#td_post_81
There is a thread on XDA where you can place your paid apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=993
It would be bad, if a great app like yours would get banned...
Cheers, berkley

Shoot, you are right. Is there a way to move the thread entirely?

Great app and thank you. Please see attached screen shots of pull down notification issue. I think it is related to the color choices on the transparent areas. I believe that Android has a specific color option that should be used on transparent areas to ensure that regardless of the color theme, the correct color displays when there is transparency.

[CLOSED][Live Wallpaper][2.1+][BETA] DroidPal

I've been working (very sparsely) on a small side-side project, my first attempt going back almost 2 years now. I'd like to do a beta run and get some responses. There are bound to be compatibility issues as well.
The "live" wallpaper (lwp) basically puts our favourite Android on your desktop and allows you to interact with him. The current implementation is still a bit basic. The focus has always been minimal resource usage, which is biggest issue with most lwp. Similar ideas have, obviously, emerged on the market recently - but its all 3D from what Ive been seeing.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Features (beta)
No continuous animations hogging resources.
Basic interactions with the Android.
Android will not be pleased if you keep bugging him
Sleep if screen has been off for too long, 2 demo animations activated via left hand.
After a while the will andorid will stop responding, turn the screen off for a while
Settings havent been implemented yet
- FPS is fixed at 50.
- The lwp will "copy" your current wallpaper (if its an image). So first set desired background wallpaper, then load DroidPal.
Known issues
1. There is a "bug" with Android, where ALL touch events get to the app - even if you are tapping icons/widgets. There is a workaround, but it doesnt work in the wallpaper preview, and some devices dont support it properly. [1][2]
2. Sometimes the wp becomes unresponsive (probably related to #1 and the specific launcher used).
If you get a Force Close/Crash, logcat output showing the error would be useful.
DISTRIBUTION OF THIS APP IS NOT ALLOWED OUTSIDE THIS FORUM. PLEASE LINK TO THIS THREAD IF SHARING.
->Download Removed. Beta over, app will in market soon <-
{Mod edit: Thread closed as no download link is available! - Oswald Boelcke, Moderator}

Looking for impressions, problems, suggestions/ideas, etc..

Keep Up the Good work. I am using it to see what is the Look and feel.
But once again credits for such a good project.

Will try
edit: so far so good! not resource intensive; will test over a few days. Thanks

Love it. No issues so far.

This going to sound silly but how do I interact with the Android?

You can try tapping him on the head/body. Or somewhere in top of him.
He will also react after you turn the screen on (probability depends on how long it was off). The beta has 2 demo animations via the left hand.
Also note the "Known Issues" section above regarding touch events.

My girlfriend was so excited playing with him. She somehow managed to make him to disappeared and appeared at other places.
I'm not sure if that a bug or a feature.

^, yes it is
By the way, suggestions for animations & interaction sequences are welcome.

I discovered a bug. I kept switching the phone from sleep to awake repetitively and Android lost his body. Only left with this head and arms.
I had to re-applied the wallpaper again.

I would like to present the new “Neon Clock” created by CodeDaemons team (which consists of two graphic designers and one programmer). It is one of the first widgets created by us, but we did our best to ensure that our application would work efficiently. It is completely free version of Neon Clock, however there's always a possibility that payable version will be available in the future.
Beautiful Neon Clock in Google Play
And our profile link.
We are looking forward to read Your opinions!
Cheers!

oh... these look nice!! thanks for sharing. I don't normally use a clock widget, but I might use this...

doesnt spam those ads that often
And if you want you can install adblock for the phone

I would use if the clocks were transparent, any plans to do this?

Been using for some hours now, it just seems to be draining my battery, any solutions?
I really like the look of it.

@tranceph0rmer
please note that those apps will display false battery usage as the service for clock is only ran once a minute and is disabled for the rest of time

I second the transparency, I think that would look nice. About the "false" battery usage though, why would it be reported that way if it wasn't actually using that much battery? Is that just because (some) battery monitoring apps really don't take into account times when widgets/apps/services aren't running? That just seems odd to me, however I am not extremely experienced in the way these things work.

It's not a battery monitoring app,
It's the stock htc power usage displayer.
Hmmmmm......

hmmmm we'll look into that
+ maybe if few more ppl show their interest in transparency option we will think about that

Looking for a particular watch face

Hi, all. There are so many watch faces out there, but not easy way to hunt for the style and functionality I'm after. Hoping someone here might have a suggestion or two.
First, I am NOT interested in making my own. I don't have the time or patience to create a watch face, and would prefer to just download one that fits the bill. There are so many out there, that surely what I'm after must exist.
I'm looking for a face with the following characteristics:
1. Analog style
2. Always-on capability
3. Phone battery status​
I'm sure this won't be too hard to track down, but as I search, it is super cumbersome to hunt for this, and takes so much time and so many clicks to preview the watch face only to find that it shows the watch battery status not the phone...or that it's digital and not analog... Hoping you guys can give me a few names of watch faces to search for. Thanks!!!!

Try Watchmaker app and you can use thousand and thousand watchfaces with phone battery, weather, calendar events and more....

That's exactly the problem! That app produces the "needle in a haystack" problem for me. Do you know of any specific watch faces in that app that would suit my needs? Otherwise, it will still require hours of searching before I can find a few watch faces that fit my three simple criteria...

On the link there are faces that suit your need.
1. Analog style
2. Always-on capability
3. Phone battery status

Thanks. That was very helpful. Also, Watchmaker has a search filter that I've been hunting for! It allows me to select the attributes I care about such as round display, phone battery, and analog face and get a long list of watch faces that fit the bill. Once I had a good starting point, I could then tweak the one I selected with some custom functionality. I'm still wary of how much this app tries to reach into my wallet! Even after buying the premium license and the Samsung companion app, I am still presented with offers to buy more! I'd rather just pay a lump sum at the beginning and get all access, rather than having to constantly check whether my premium license covers a particular watch face or not. But I'm very satisfied with the face I found...very similar to the one you listed up above. Thanks!

WatchMaker premium is for use infinite faces with the app, otherwise you can not use more than few faces. After, every one can make a particular face and ask some money to distribute, not related with the master app
It is not the developper of the WatchMaker app wich develop all the faces for this app, so every one can offer or not his work.

Instagram always showing Quick reactions for Stories on big screen

Guys, I have problem with the Instagram app. When Iam watching stories on main (small) display, everything is fine. But when I unfold the phone and watch the stories on big screen, I always see (at the top) the Quick reactions menu, which is annoying. To remove, I always need to click to the "Send message" area at the bottom, hide keyboard which pops-up and use the back gesture – after that Quick reactions disappears for a while (until I launch IG app again). Anyone has the same behavior of the IG app?

Have the same issue

Same here

Have the same issue in 16:9 aspect ratio... Used multistar to go to full screen and it works fine using that layout (default)...

thanks for the tip with the Multistar app, but when you switch to "fullscreen", stories looks quite ugly (they are cut by the sides), and this screen aspect ration isn't also good for posting new stories. Hope Instagram will fix this bug soon.

I have the same issue too, I would prefer fullscreen using multistar, however that means that some text can be cut out in stories, as Instagram still doesn't want to use auto-fit with their app

Tried to download older version of Instagram app (this one from October) and it works great with the Quick reactions on foldable screen

Thanks get the armv8 one. Works great I have it set in Goodlocks to 16:9 it's a good compromise. Sure some stuff gets cut off on the ultra tall stories but not that much. Set it to not auto update so it doesn't change versions.

Change resolution to default and it will fix that

yes but default fills the entire screen and cuts off people's stories and posts that use tall screen ratios like the new iphones

Hi, my best friend had a similar problem. She is a social media manager so, this was a problem for her. She reached out to multiple gsm points. Unfortunately, none of them could solve the problem. After some time, she contacted megafamous.com. They gave her some suggestions on how she might fix the problem. After a couple of days, she already told me it worked out well. Not sure what she exactly did though. However, you may try to get in contact with megafamous.com and see what they can offer you.

Hi, Few months ago i was faced same issue on instagram thanks to muymorefollowers's team they give me a solution to get rid this issue live chat with buymorefollowers.uk and get solution right-away. thanks
