[Q] SILENT LOCKSCREEN (feature from Moto x)

I love the new feature from new Google-Motorola phone "Moto X". The new "Silent Lockscreen Notification" feature is so neat, nice, useful...
I just love it
Unfortunately I am not a developer, so I don't have the skills to port it to our HOX but, wouldn't it be a great feature to have?
Youtube /watch?v=lbGmfk8yaZU, sorry i am not allowed to post external links as a newbie in XDA
The lockscreen feature is presented at 2 minute 30s mark.
:fingers-crossed:
What do you think? Would you like to see this feature in your Custom ROM?
Cheers

Active display
Better example of this awesome feature review

Totally useless on the One X because we don't have an OLED screen.

Not totally useless, only a bit more power consuming because the whole display would have to be activated instead only of part of it.
But screen would only glow in intervals (you could slow down the interval) when new notification arrives and when you take it out of pocket or flip it downside up with use of proximity sensor.
Bu yes, i agree, our battery is already a bit week.. :/

Seems pretty neat

Porting it to sense is impossible duo to sense framework work.
How ever its possible to port it to aosp if the necessary sources are out....
IMO its useless because its a battery sucker

there is an app called NoLED from the play store that does something somewhat similar. its not the same thing but it does give you a floating notification on the screen and tells you what app its from.
And yeah, LCD screens will use more power and will prevent the phone from properly sleeping. You can tune it to only turn on the screen if you flip it over.

Or you can use Active Notifications,it's verry verry similar to the Moto X:

Only Works on Devices with Android 4.3 for now
Edit. Looks like its experimental on 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. Anyone tried it yet?

Posted without reading the app description. When this app came out it only worked on 4.3 devices but now it works on the One X. Best to use with Low brightness.

Or you can create a Tasker profile that will make your screen pulse every few minutes until you dismiss the notification...

Thx to Niko001

Insctructions
Install like every other APK file

Any pics on what it looks like when up and running?

Since we don't have super AMOLED, wouldn't this be a huge battery drain?

not realy screen is on for a 10 or 15 sec.

this is how it looks like. When you push the icon of the notification you see from it is

The whole screen would light up as black instead of being off like Amoled. I don't think LCD's can take full advantage of this feature

I think notifierpro is the best app for this task. The free lite version works awesome.

All they need is a setting to set a timeout. I use Knock² currently and its set to 30seconds. I use it mainly at work to see if a message is worth grabbing my phone for.

Yeah worked fine... but it is 4.3 and above only. Meaning it only will work on the GE ROM or phone.
He needs to change his target API to hide it from those not 4.3

It can, the battery drain is significantly higher than an AMOLED screen.
I'm fine with keeping the extra battery life and having the LED. (Dashclock helps on the lock screen).
The Moto X benefits the most by far from this because of a few reasons.
1.) Contextual low-power processor
2.) AMOLED screen
3.) It doesn't have a notification LED to begin with.

i think it is what you personal perfer or like. I thougt nice app let's share. For those ho want it.
Just had a training for my Samsung care point to maintain my license. And had the same explanation of diferents beteween AMOLED, Super AMOLED and LCD.
I hope to get a re traing for HTC to.

I have installed it on my viper Rom. Works perfect. But then I am getting force closes error on gmail. When I disable it. Gmail works fine. But when I enable it. It gives me force close error. Any solution?

[Q] Vibrate on Galaxy Tab 3 - 7.0?

Hi. Just a quick question... is the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (SM-T210) supposed to have Vibration functionality?
In games and apps that have vibration feedback, it doesn't do it. Nor can I find any option relating to Vibration in the Settings. I'm wondering if this is a warranty issue or a cost-saving "feature."
Edit: If it is supposed to have Vibrate features, can you advise me on where I should be able to access Settings for it?
Edit 2: I meant to put this in Q&A, but can't seem to delete. Could a moderator please move this threat over? (sorry)
Thanks in advance!

I don't mean to be rude, but BUMP.
250 views, two weeks, and not a single person can provide a simple yes or no???

I start sharing T211 kernel in development section (and no feedback from T211 owner around here so far). There's a vibrator driver in T211 but no in T210.

No

Minealso doesnt vibrate, but not sure, if it s a driver problem, or missing hardware. @ketut.kumajaya did you try to enable it in the config/driver source already?

The answer is yes and no wile in the setting.storage.apk/settings/secure db the option is there I enabled it and the problem is that samsung went the cheap route and didnt put the vibrator inside the tab along with other things like led key lights and the notification led light

Lockscreen music controls

Hi Everyone, I've recently left the iOS eco system and purchased myself the pixel 2 XL, yes I made the plunge and no way do I regret it!
Just a quick question regarding the lockscreen controls, is there anyway to have the music controls larger? Currently this is limited to a single line and was wondering if there's a app or tweak to make this bigger.
Thank you!

Not able to do it natively from the device. However, a custom rom or using xposed may do what your looking for. You'll need to be rooted of course for this to work though.

Maybe when P is finalized...

Annoying Ass Issues w/ Mate 20X.. Hope You Guys Can Help

I'm planning to buy this phone. But bugs keep me from buying it. I shouldnt spend $700 with stupid issues it shouldnt have. Hope you guys know of a fix....
1. Can I turn off auto brightness without rebooting? Why no toggle for it in status bar?
2. No dark notifications... why aren't notifications dark?
3. Why does the EMUI look so outdated?
4. Some features not working with 3rd party launchers like Nova. Is there a fix?
Dont mean to sound like an ass. But I shouldnt have to invest almost a grand for a phone with issues other phones dont have. Its ridiculous. If you guys have solutions to these issues please let me know. Hope to join the huawei family without them.
.

The fact thet you're here in XDA tells me that you play more with your phone than keeping it bone stock.
1 - Nope, auto brightness isnalways ON which I find stupid.
2 - There is Dark mode that turn the system UI black including Notification panel but not Notification Banner.
3 - I hate EMUI
4 - You can't change launcher on most recent update and there no fix to that. You can on older version like 9.1.0.120 but you need an unlocked bootloader and root.
So do your self a favor and stay away from any Huawei Device and go with Oneplus or Xiaomi

Have bought this phone (UK version) but yet to recieve it.
Not being able to change launcher, is that an issue just for the china version or the international version too on the latest update? That would be a biggie.
Also are there any issues with notifications not getting through all the time (an affliction a lot of Huawei phones suffer from). I had the Honor note 8 (Chinese) and this issue made it infuriating to use. A phone without notifications working properly is a dumb rather than a smart phone in my book.
Lastly one of the best bits about the Honor Note 8 was the ability to clear the notifications by double tapping on the finger print sensor. Do you have that on the Mate 20 X?

Dunno, brightness never bothered me
2. No dark notifications... why aren't notifications dark?
who said that ? THEMES !! it comes will all sort of colors, just download huawei theme manager from playstore, it also including fonts as well
there is also a theme editor from the playstore where you mix and match and come up with your favorite theme all from your phone.
3. Why does the EMUI look so outdated?
because it is ! next month they are releasing a new version where they copied alot from OneUI, which is a good thing and they focused on smoothness and cleaner UI
4. Some features not working with 3rd party launchers like Nova. Is there a fix?
i am using nova, i think this is a chinese version issue not global

i have it for almost 4 months, and i got the note10+ with my renewal and trust me, i sold it without even opening the box. nothing comes close to Mate 20x as a complete package these days, its really fast, battery lasts forever, great screen, amazing camera, amazing charging speeds and one of a kind speakers.

What do you mean?? The notifications drop down is dark. But the notifications banner color is white! Is there any way to get this to turn dark? Does the Power Shade app work as a solution?

Are you sure about that? Auto brightness is disabled until after a reboot.

What I was saying is that one can turn auto bright off but it resets to auto of reboot, that's what I think.

Auto brightness turns on after every reboot but you can toggle it off. It stays off until you reboot the phone again.

PS: yeah, pretty sure not being able to change Launcher is only a Chinese problem. Cause I'm able to change it on my Mate 20 X in USA. I used to use Rootless launcher for quite a bit. But switched back because of the ? animations.
(Quite jealous of the OnePlus animations and gestures control. I miss them from my OP 5T)

You can toggle it ON/OFF whenever. It does not require a reboot. Adaptive brightness turns ON anytime the device is rebooted. It is not such a big deal do not worry about it if you are going to buy the device.
