Hi all,
I saw some great stuff to wake phone swyping directly on the screen, like PGM on play store (for Evo 3D and Galaxy Nexus), and was wondering if would be possible to have it for my One X.
I was using Faux kernel including S2W, and really liked it, but I think it would be better/easier/more useful if we can wake touching the screen, not the 3 buttons.
Also, for exemple in Nova Launcher, there is the option to launch an app making other gestures than swype, like pinch or rotate. Do you think it would be possible to wake the phone just pinchin screen when off ? What about battery drain ? Lot of users had complaints about S2W draining the battery, but I didn't noticed a big difference with or without this feature.
Do you think a feature like this would be useful ? Technically, is it realistic ?
Sorry for poor english :silly:
nobody has any idea or interest in such feature? I think it would be great to have the possibility to pinch the screen to wake it, so easier than swiping over the buttons, and with less fails. And I don't think that kind of gesture could be easily done while phone is in the pocket.

Hello, great idea but not so "feasible" easilly ... imo
How do you swype on a screen which is not activated ?
You will let the screen always activated ? I don't think the battery will appreciate.
Maybe you can activate the touch screen without the display screen
but that should surely need a kernel modification if it's not "hardware" locked.
The only app i see that make something very similar is Tap Tap Tap
and it uses the proximity sensor ...
PS : I never achieved to make Tap Tap Tap work correctly each time i Tap Tap
Yes, kernel modification should be needed, the Evo 3D app PGM is a kernel module. I emailed the developer, who explained that he logically can't develop apps for devices that he hasn't got. But if it works in Evo 3D and Galaxy Nexus, it surely can be developed for One X.
His app does not seems to drain too much battery. Anyway, if it is possible to make it using 2-fingers gestures like pinch or rotate, maybe it should be possible too to only activate the screen when there is this double contact. I don't really understand about development, but had read something like S2W was not draining battery because of activation only when the 2nd button was touched.
Tap Tap is not compatible with ICS 4.0.4, can't try it...
But many comments say that it drains battery a lot, and can easily wake screen when in pocket, so it's more like an option you punctually use I think.
Well, only 10 votes, but 60% love the idea.
Would be a great feature included in future ViperX 2.0 rom

Another widget i decided to share with you peoples
I noticed by default there is a "Assistive light" widget for us to put on the home screen. It toggles the flashlight on or off. Well its really dim so i wrote my own widget to do the same thing. This one however gets put on the lockscreen so just swipe over and tap and boom you got a light
May add options for light levels.
Should work on all GS4 variants, only tested on T-Mobile variant.
TO INSTALL:
Simply install the apk, then in your app drawer look for "Flashlight options" and click it to set up your options. (The icon is a flashlight btw xD)
UPDATE 10.28.13:
- Added levels adjustment
- Remove widget and re-add to update after installing new APK
Then create your widget on your lockscreen and profit
Works perfectly thus far and exactly what my phone has been missing. THANK YOU!!

Same for me! Prolly gonna add the brightness buttons to it soon too.
What do you guys think? Three buttons, one for dim, half, and full brightness? Or a positive and negative button to adjust brightness in one by one increments? I think the three buttons would be quicker to adjust the brightness.

Three buttons sounds great ..Can't wait for the update ..Thanks

Update added levels option
In infamous alpha ROM I just have to long press home button while on lockscreen to turn torch on and off. Any way that I can use your app instead as your is brighter.
Thanks

Just install it as a regular app, then under your lockscreen, add the flashlight widget.

Lock your phone by pressing power button, then swipe to your left and you should see the (plus) symbol to add lock screen Widgets.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
Any way this can be added to the lock screen where I don't need to swipe to get to the widget? Ideally, I'd hit the Home or Power button to turn on the phone, then either use your flashlight widget, or swipe to go to the home screen. I'm a beginner on playing with the lock screen, but a flashlight like yours (excellent job on the 3 settings!) is really the only thing I'd like to access that quickly.
Any way to use this as a home screen app? Ever since I've been on Android, I've missed the 3-level flashlight I had on WinMo 6.5 on my old HD2.
Great effort on this, thanks!

You can tap and hold my widget on your lockscreen and drag it to the RIGHT most "page" on the lockscreen and it will be the first thing you see when you turn on your screen.
Meaning, tap and hold my widget on your lockscreen, and move your finger to the right of your screen until you see the gray squares stop moving.
Thanks, elesbb! Got it working. Now if I could only get the big clock I normally see to show along with your light, it would be perfect, although it seems only one widget per screen is allowed? Again, I'm a noob about lockscreens.
You really make some cool additions to the phone.

Yes, only one widget per screen, currently working on an app that will hold a widget within a widget (not looking to promising) so i may have to edit the actual smali files itself to add say two widgets per screen. (thats something i REALLY want) so once we finally get a sammobile tar of 4.3, i will be working on mods for my ROM and that is one that i widh to add.
Hi all,
Like the above said, I've been looking for something that could make me easily control the brightness setting, by using gestures, like for say, two finger swipe up or down will increase or decrease the phone brightness. Because to think about it, in my case, I've been pulling down those notification panel whole day every day, because I'm always in and out the door.
If there such an app, I would be really thankful if you could point me to it. Cause I've been looking, but none actually do the thing that I wanted it to.
Thanks in advance.

There is a new lift to display function. Basically wakes the phone when you lift the phone - just like the proximity wave.

Ambient display needs to be enabled first, it's just above the option for Lift Up Display.

Yes, I totally agree - this is a frustrating 'update' that feels like going backward. It's great that now picking up the phone turns on the ambient display - but when the ambient display is showing, why can't I touch to interact with the notifications? Now I need to 1) pick up the phone, 2) double tap to wake, and 3) touch the notification. This adds a NEW step #2, which in addition to being annoying also hurts battery life. Why can't I just lift the screen to turn on ambient display and then interact with the notifications like previously without having to wake the phone? I used this feature multiple times per day; now I want to downgrade to the previous version!

This new system let you use off screen gestures, because in old when this ambient display appear you have to wake and re turnoff screen for use off screen gestures. Just use the power button for intereact with your notification

yes, but the point was I DIDN'T have to press the power button before. Now i HAVE to. WHY? How is this better than the previous version???? I want to downgrade. That was my favorite and most useful feature and now its gone for no reason!
Yes it a differents usages, i understand your frustrations but in Oreo ambient display work like this but notification text disappear to just let an icon..
No I like the current ambient display. Interactive ambient display ruins the purpose of "ambient display" which is just to show time and notification. People will be more cautious of touching the screen if touchable and lots of mis click when put top side up in pocket
Just wish the hours will always be red instead of just "1"

I used the interactive display with the One Plus 3 and NEVER had any misclicks in my pocket. But I DID use the functionality of interactive ambient display notifications MANY TIMES PER DAY. It's particularly useful for music. You can pause/play music from the google play notification in the ambient display without unlocking the phone. I still don't understand how it is better at all to not have the interactions be interactive?

Even if this is the way it is done in Oreo, the One Plus runs OxygenOS for a reason - to be able to customize/add features.
Please bring it back, at least have an option in the settings to toggle it on/off.

Introducing Pixel Pulse - a simple app to make your Ambient Display pulse when you have notifications!
Choose the interval and select the apps you want you to cause your screen to wake.
Optional paid features let you select different icons and colors for specific apps but the interval and app filter core functionality is all free.

If you had previously purchased Ambi-Turner, it has been updated for the new permissions, but because it was written for 8.0 and when Google's ambient display worked differently I decided to leave it as it is. You may however transfer your purchase status of Ambient Display to Pixel Pulse using both apps.

Paid customization adds the ability to always pulse (with a view that shows you that you have no important notifications), and the ability to select icons and colors for specific applications.
Screenshots are difficult because you can't screenshot the ambient display. I'll need to try and take actual photographs.
Seems like the settings don't save. Just updated the app and everything is set to pulse even though I removed some stuff :S

This is awesome. But is there a way you can maybe make the icon only pulse and be custom colors? Without showing the actual notification text? That would be amazing! But bought the paid one and I am using it now looks good on the wireless charger. :good:

The update somewhat fixed the timing issue but it still is off by 5 seconds. When setting the internal to 20 seconds it pulses after 15 seconds.
Edit: It seems that the timer starts when the notification pops up not when the notification disappears. Is this the way it is intended to work?
