[APP REQ] Screen Toggle on rotate face down/reverse portrait (or shake)

I am searching for an app to toggle the screen on and off when you rotate face down or turn reverse portrait (or even shake the unit possibly).
I have been using MobileMagic to do just that, but it's not completely stable and I don't use any of its other features.
I had hoped that Gyrator 2 would do it, but it only offers screen off, not screen toggle.
Any suggestions?

Bump
Or should I move this request to,
xda-developers > General discussion > Development and Hacking ?

I Would love that too, only I would like the screen to lock instead. As do you, I've been using MobileMagic for that, but it is unstable and for rotating applications I'm using FlipIt now (since it is included in Dutty's ROMs)

Search for g-trigger on xda, it as a screen on/off toggle action that you can set to a specific shaking. Hope it help.

Try this
it`s Ccalled ChangeScreen.....

[REQUEST] Intelligent gravity rotation toggle

It's very inconvenient to use my phone when lying on bed. I sometimes switch between landscape view and portrait view but I can't turn on the g-sensor auto rotation because what is "down" in my view is actually horizontal. Are there any "intelligent" rotation toggles that can calibrate the "ideal" gravity direction and automatically rotate the screen to fit the user's view?
PS: Technically, I think the compass is also needed to perform this function.

Same here. I switched off auto rotation and can now easily use it when laying in bed.

Use the rotate app from market. It's great, can force rotation if app normally doesn't too.

So you rotate manually when lying in bed? I think it's technically possible to make a software that rotates automatically after the user point out the ideal "down" direction.

A solution to offset the rotation +-90degrees would be nice

Bedside Clock and Qi

I'm loving my new Tylt Vu and wireless charging. However, when I drop the phone on the Tylt, after seeing the wireless charging notification pop up, I don't see Daydream appear until my screen times out (which I have set at 10 minutes). I would love it if Daydream would appear instantly, like it does when I plug into the USB/wall charger. I have Daydream configured to turn on for both dock mode and while charging.
Any ideas?

You could use tasker to do that most likely. I use it to tell me when the phone is charging (says charging) and turns off the screen.

Yeah, I was afraid of that, I think, because Tasker seems intimidating. Or more accurately, I worry that I don't have time for the learning curve.

I'm certainly not a tasker pro, but there is an app that will launch Daydream https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brianco.daydreamlauncher and the script for it then in tasker would be fairly simple. Unfortunately, that does not work on the Note 3 for some reason. The launcher just says it is closing without doing anything.
If it is fixed, then all you do is setup a profile that looks for when plugged into a charger, and run a task which launches the daydream launcher.
Something like (export XML from Tasker) you would just import this into your tasker and it would be setup:
Code:
<TaskerData sr="" dvi="1" tv="4.2u3m">
<Profile sr="prof9" ve="2">

<Int sr="arg6" val="0"/>
</Action>
<Action sr="act1" ve="3">
<code>20</code>
<App sr="arg0">
<appClass>com.brianco.daydreamlauncher.StartDaydream</appClass>
<appPkg>com.brianco.daydreamlauncher</appPkg>
<label>Daydream</label>
</App>
<Str sr="arg1" ve="3"/>
<Int sr="arg2" val="0"/>
</Action>
</Task>
</TaskerData>
This actually speaks "Charging" and then loads the launcher (Which doesn't work).
I sent the dev a note to see if he knows why it won't work on the Note 3.

A programmable NFC tag should work to do this? I don't have any direct experience with them but I am going to buy some and play around with them for my own needs. Something to look into at least.

Homescreen doesn't display properly in Landscape

Anyone else have this problem? Icons don't fit on the top and bottom. I know I can fix this by adjusting the DPI but is there another way?
On all my other phones when I flip the screen the homescreen shows fine.

Ok, I think the screen operates in 4k mode, not just when you're watching photos & videos, but anytime you're in landscape.

my homescreen doesn't rotate at all. Portrait only, does yours rotate?

Yeah even my home screen doesnt rotate, is that suppose to rotate?

Sony did this on purpose because when you rotate the resolution changes to 4k and icons don't display properly, You can force auto rotate with this app:

Let's not go again into why Sony chose to display everything but Pictures&Videos in 4K.
But you are wrong. Do the following, via adb
Code:
adb shell dumpsys window | find "3840"
For any app you will get the following output:
Code:
Requested w=2160 h=3840 mLayoutSeq=5146
Requested w=2160 h=3840 mLayoutSeq=8002
But for pictures and videos you will get the following output which indicates 4K output.
Code:
Requested w=3840 h=2160 mLayoutSeq=7964
Surface: shown=true layer=21105 alpha=1.0 rect=(0.0,1.0) 3840.0 x 2160.0
Requested w=2160 h=3840 mLayoutSeq=5146
The reason your icon etc don't look well when you force the landscape rotation is because the launcher you are using was not built for landscape. Try with a launcher that supports landscape and you will see everything fine.

OK, thanks.

edge lighting+

Haven't seen anyone talking about the new effect for edge lighting+ in good lock, it's called eclipse! It's for notifications, with the ability to set specific colors for each app. It utilizes the ring around the camera cutout. It's a great new update!

it doesnt work properly
only for text sms

Not so good. I tested.
Then went back to AOE

It's not new....

Edge light plus also works as standalone with the ring light up option.
I uninstalled it, doesn't work with screen off.

Yeah mine definitely works with other apps such as Instagram and snapchat, so yeah. Not sure how it doesn't work exactly lol.

Oh it does work..if you turn the screen on after you get the notification then you get the light ring with the popup notifying you, otherwise no it doesn't work with most apps with the screen off. If it works for you that way then fantastic, I just know I am not the only one that states this

Found a workaround with Tasker + AutoNotification
Basically, Edge Lighting only works for apps that want to wake the screen up. So let's ask Tasker to do that.
Example for Messenger :
Code:
Profile: Messenger (55)
Event: AutoNotification Intercept [ Configuration:Event Behaviour: true Notification Apps: Messenger ]
State: Display State [ Is:off ]
Enter: Anon (56)
A1: Notify [ Title:FB Text:%antitle : %antext Icon:%anstatusbaricon Number:0 Permanent:off Priority:5 Repeat Alert:off LED Colour:Blue LED Rate:0 Sound File: Vibration Pattern: Category:Test Actions:(1) ]
Exit: Anon (57)
A1: Turn On [ Block Time (Check Help):500 ]
Then set AutoNotification to automatically delete any notif from Tasker with title containing "Mess" and set Edge Litghting to the color of your choice for notif with "Mess" as title (blue for instance).
When phone screen is off, you'll get a blue Edge Lighting notification saying "Mess John Doe : Blah blah blah". When you turn the screen on you'll only see the Messenger notification since the Tasker one that produced the Edge Lighting will have been deleted.
Rinse and repeat for as many apps as you want. Filter in AN for deleting Tasker notifs should look like (Mess)|(WhatsApp)|(Uber)|(etc.) with regex on.
