"Turn your phone into a robust musical instrument."
I am an artist and can do UI if a developer wants to tackle this. A theremin can be described here:
Here is a demo screenshot I made:

}
in this demo picture it is showing the "R" reverb filter being scrubbed to 54% the text on screen quickly fades away once the affected button is released.
How to play:
The screen will be able to operate with the vertical axis as pitch (in hertz) and the horizontal axis as volume (in %). Optionally these axis can be switched by the user in "settings". Also you can have a split screen mode for two independent instruments OR spit screen with pitch in one window and volume in another is so desired. If the latter sound will only come out when both fingers contact the phone.
Pitch range is by default 100 - 3000 hz but this can bet set to a different bracket in the settings dialog. on the top of the screen it will read the current pitch and closest note your finger is at example: 297 Hz (D)
Waveshape Selection Circle:
Toggles sine, triangle and square waveforms.
Filters:
You have three filter slots that you can customize with 15 different effects. Swap out filters in the settings mode.
• Tap a slot to toggle it on and off while in play.
• Touch and drag side to side on a slot to change the intensity of the effect. While you scrub a large number shows up in the middle of your screen to show you what its value is.
Loop:
Tap loop once and it inverts. While it is inverted it is recording.
Tap a second time and the loop is stored and a number comes up at the top of the screen 1-9.
Tap the numbers to toggle on and off loops. to clear a number drag the number to the settings gear at the bottom of the page. Loop auto snaps to the closest logical length of measure (guided by bpm and time sig settings)
BPM & time signatures can be set by scrubbing left and right. The text pulses gently to the beat and the time sig pulses to the appropriate scale.
Particle effects change under your finger depending on how long you have held a ante and how quickly your finger moves:
Tap a note/vol and a ripple happens like a drop of water.
Sustain a note and you will get many concentric rings fading from that spot.
Zip from one note to another and a line will appear to tell you were you came from. it will fade in one a couple measures.

Just inspirated by the first trailer of T4
www.terminatorsalvation.com
(btw: who's afraid the next movie? ;-) )
I've made a new notification of message.
It covers and manipulates of whole screen of any Windows Mobile device
(PPC or Smartphone), no matter what is on the screen,
at the moment when the new message received.
I like the idea of this trailer, when title music and video frames, try to break our normally wathed screen.
It's fun to have something similar in personal computer. To have some spice in mobile device.
Of course, if we aren't afraid, this will happen in the future. For real.
So, this notification replaces the default notification of message,
in a style of the above T4 trailer.
Several screen deformations and manipulations are built-in.
Below screenshots are samples only.
In reality, the smooth animation of visual effect is playing,
together with the title sounds (music).

It plays a sound, only when your Profile allows you, and the alerts volume is more than zero.
Functions:
You can switch directly from this notification to reply to the Sender of message: UP/DOWN KEY or TAP-MOVE vertically.
You can switch directly from this notification to the Inbox: LEFT/RIGHT KEY or TAP-MOVE horizontally.
You can play the notification again: ACTION.
To close this notification: ANY OTHERS buttons, or just tap on the screen anywhere.
Because of Warnerbros. copyright, I realized this version as freeware.
And I have no deal with them.
Another way, I think this is a good example,
how the advertising could be positioned (placed) into mobile devices, without users action needs.
This program (notification) user installs on your device, and that's all.
There is no settings, no user-enable application, no dialog, nothing to use.
Then user will not see any icon or running program.
It displays on the screen, and become enabled, only when new message is incoming.
Imagine, the top content of this notification could be downloaded from some network server,
and automatically. What I have not included in this version.
Finally, it displays the last received message (scrolled up from the bottom of screen).
In the background, it displays (some time) a Sender photo, if it's found in your Contacts.
The above screenshot is just a sample, you will see there some photo from your Contact.
And the text of message will scroll up from the bottom of screen, till a whole message will display.
Eeee... freeware files:
http://www.jgui.net/t4.notification/T4.NOTIFICATION.SETUP.exe
http://www.jgui.net/t4.notification/T4.NOTIFICATION.SETUP.cab
(please do not copy theses files, only link to these url if you want)
Due to reason of notification, it's recommended to install in main memory.
This is alpha version, I just tested in a few devices a week only.
I don't know if everything is fixed there now. Please try.
Uninstaller is included.
You cannot just break this notification. You have to unistall.
Is there a way to make function that warns you if S pen is removed and you are walking vibrate or at least make some noise?
In current form (simple on screen message) its useless because by the time I turn on my phone to see message, its too late.
There are alerts in s pen settings
sent from my 1920 overclocked note 2 running jedi xp12
I'm talking about that. But there is no sound or vibrating alert, only visual which is useless unless screen is on.
My note 2 has audio alert if I leave my s-pen out

The S Pen™ does more than enable you to interact with your device's screen to navigate menus and enter information; the S Pen also simplifies many different functions. It has been designed to feel comfortable by increasing the overall length to 8mm, and it now has a larger diameter of 6.55mm. You can edit documents with the mouse-like precision of the S Pen.
S Pen Settings
You can modify the S Pen settings from the settings menu. From the Home screen, touch Menu

maybe that custom rom you have is missing the spen-removed sound? its supposed to be in system>media>ui and its called pen_det_alert.ogg
if the dev of your custom rom removed it then it wont play
Why are all progressbars rectangular? Is it possible to make them e. g. triangular or trapezium shaped (like standard wi-fi bars in Android or antenna bars in Symbian)?
Well, the quickest answer I can think of say for a triangular one, would be to use three straight progress bars and simply rotate them and 'assemble' them into the shape of a triangle, and then set each one's min/max value to a different set of the range of whatever variable you're tracking, so Bar1 would have a min/max of 0-33, next one - 33-66, last one to 66-99 if you're tracking a var that scales 0-99 etc.
And in Advanced Parameters for each bar use some logic statements to make sure the bar doesn't display any selected value if the the var you're tracking is outside its range. (i.e. to have the selected segment 'jump' from one bar to another if you're trying to make a bar that shows one particular segment highlighted instead of a steady typical progress bar that fills up as the value goes up).
No, it's not what I need. I need a triangle that smoothly fills with solid color depending on a parameter. Imagine a usual rectangular progressbar, cut it diagonally and take a half of it.
Well the same premise would still apply, you would just choose Normal mode so that the progress bar just fills up normally, with no segments, highlights, etc.
I think it's difficult to describe in words, both of what we're talking about, so, do you have a link to some images of what you're trying to accomplish. From anywhere(s).
If I could actually see it I could maybe come up with some solution(s).
Something like this.

Absolute impossible!! Cannot be done! You should just give up, buy an iPhone.
Or...
Do it like this - 60 seconds or less:
1. Make your progress bar
2. Make a rectangle slightly bigger than that, place it OVER the progress bar, make sure it is any color except one of these.
3. In the rectangle settings ROTATE IT to your angle of choosing, then....where it says "Drawing Mode" choose "CLEAR".
4. Watch the magic.
Extra Gold star if you can make something like the second two pics. Go bananas. Zooper is fun!!!
This is a better variant, but this rectangle will clear off anything under it. And what will I do if I need to place a text there?
Umm....you put the text...over it?
In the module manager you'll see the order from top to bottom of each element, they are drawn in this order, so if you want to see the text where the rectangle previously cut it out, just drag the text elements to the bottom of the list.
See attached example.
And as bonus tip - to get the jagged edge thing, or any other shape imaginable, create or download a png file that has the background transparent, then place it over your progress bar (or whatevers) and instead of "Clear" choose "XOR" and it will give you the shape as a cutout, like a cookie cutter.
What is SideSqueeze?
SideSqueeze is an innovative and unique app that uses the barometric pressure sensor in your device to detect squeezes and screen presses. It is compatible only with Samsung Galaxy devices from 2017 onwards, although some people have reported varying degrees of success with Pixel devices.
What It Does
SideSqueeze gives your S8/S9/S10 series Galaxy the ability to respond to squeezes, double squeezes, triple squeezes, quadruple squeezes, long squeezes, and/or inertial squeezes, as well as force presses on the screen. For example, you can double squeeze your phone to activate Google Assistant...or maybe you'd like to quadruple squeeze to toggle auto-rotation. And now with Tasker integration, you can even create elaborate tasks to do just about anything and trigger them with any type of squeeze! SideSqueeze's new modular GUI allows you to pick and choose what you want to do with ease.
Features (not all available in trial version)
7 detectable squeeze types (single, double, triple, quadruple, long, long double-squeeze, and inertial)
3 detectable press types (single, long, and 2-finger)
Independently selectable criteria allow you to assign multiple actions to any trigger type (if lockscreen open, if homescreen open, if camera open, if S-Pen detached, if within 5-seconds of power on, if the phone is ringing, if in-call, or if screen is off)
New app picker to launch any app of your choosing
Tasker integration to launch any task of your choosing
Quick Settings tile to toggle detection engine
Wide selection of common actions, such as flashlight toggling, status bar toggling, etc
Adjustable pressure thresholds
Calibration assistant to customize SideSqueeze to your device's unique characteristics
Efficient detection algorithm that is designed to be as lightweight and low-power as possible with no significant impact on battery life

Where do I get it?
SideSqueeze 2 is now available on the Play store!

Version 2.07 (just released to the store last night) offers better reliability and faster response-time, especially when "Disable baseline verification" is set (checked) on the settings panel (go to the About or Help tab, tap the gear icon on the top-right corner). Also, SideSqueeze is on sale for $1.99 through July 13th!
I'm interested, but no comments here or feedback on the Play Store since July is concerning.
Thought this type of thing needed specialised hardware built into the phone don't understand how this would work properly.
Disclaimer: I have no idea who makes this app and I get nothing for promoting it. I just think it is a nice addition to this phone.
Found what I consider a nice app for this phone. In the play store: Always on AMOLED.
It like the MOTO built in screen saver, but it only works plugged in and it doesn't show notifications. I was missing calls and messages. You have to touch the screen to bring up the home screen and see if there are any missed calls, etc.
This app has a lot of customization and works whether charging or not. I have my phone in a dock at my desk, so I can see the time and any new notifications at a glance. If it is not in the dock I can leave it face up and see the time, etc. or place it face down and the display turns off. If in your pocket or in a holster or other case that covers the screen the display turns off saving battery. I've gone almost a whole day without losing any charge because it was face down on my desk while I was out.
Pro's:
Nice customization choices
Home or lock screen don't come on when plugging in or unplugging
Can put date, time, battery level and weather on it if you choose
Notifications show and an optional pulsating blue border for a new notification
You can adjust the brightness of the display, but it doesn't automatically shift given lighting conditions (partly a con)
The display shifts around so as not to cause burn in
Con's:
If not plugged in and screen not covered, it will drain the battery faster
Pushing the power button does not bring up the home screen - you have to double tap the screen
There may be better options, let us know - I'm always looking for better options.
Cheers!
Update:
You can add a Samsung style dot to the screen to wake it up. Also, I added the music option so I can pause, or forward on the off screen. This app is just a black screen that runs all the time looking like a "off" screen. But the screen is actually on.
