Hey guys, I'm planning to develop an app for Android and I'd need suggestions. I know that the Android app market is pretty saturated right now and there's an app for everything, but if you guys have an idea for an app please feel free to tell me. Be it an app that covers a need that other apps can't cover, or something that's already on the store but they are missing some feature, etc.
Or maybe an app you would personally need and can't find the suitable app on the store to cover you need.
Feel free to give any idea. But keep in mind I'm a beginner And sorry for my English.
I could do with an app that cooks my dinner for me ! ! !
Only joking. What category are you talking about. Do you mean some kind of Android tool?

Lol! No... I mean an app for the store. I'm just out of ideas and I wanna develop
Remember the old Nokia brick phones back in the day. Like the 6210s etc. They used to have "Profiles" where you could name your settings as to ring tone volume or silent an all that. Well by extension you could say set the silent profile on until a certain time. So what I would do (because I never switch off my phone) when I went to bed is put it on silent and set the time so the silent profile would end at Xoclock in the morning returning back to the original profile. Therefore if anyone text or called it wouldn't disturb me in the night. But then once I was up and after the time I set the profile to that was fine. I think that option died out with those phones I used to use daily. I have not seen it on any smartphone I have owned since.

Hello on sense 3.5 you could set mobile data to auto switch off when phone not been used for while. But on sense 4 you dont have the option well I cant find it and my data is switching off when battery passes 50% and only comes back on when I unlock phone. Is there away to stop this?
Its a pain when using chat apps like liveprofile.
Thanks

Yup.
Unfortunately it's for both m8
Anyway wifi CAN be fixed with "Wifi High Performance" widget from the market.
But mobile data cannot..
Apparently it has to do with ICS and it's very strange that only few have been complaining about it.

Did you find the power saver settings ?
1) install / run 'gesture search'
2) draw the word S E T T I N G S on screen
3) you will then see the 'power saver settings' - select this.
You can also find other hidden menus...try drawing T E S T I N G
Hope this helps.
Now the Facer app has been updated with a sweeping second hand does anyone know how to activate it? Any advice gratefully received.
enable it in settings
and add #DWFSS# to the second hand on the face(s) you want to use.
code for non-smooth seconds is #DWFS#

Yes what he said lol. You need to look for the rotation field for those codes. I have it working and works well, but not smooth, but better.
Thanks, all sorted.

Thanks got it workkng! i changed the settings then i resent it
even when enabled with the tag and setting checked, it kinda sweeps and skips...i end up going back to regular ticks.
Yea, I have tried it too, its not a perfect sweep. But good enough most of the time.

It looks the the movement of a lower jewel automatic movement. I think it looks great. Closely look at a 17 jewel older movement, and you will see it is not smooth sweeping either. Even the best automatic movements have a slight tick to them if you stare. There are only a few watches that truly sweep. The tuning fork Accutron movements, Bulova Precisionist, and I believe the spring drive Seiko. There may be more.
I love the new sweeping motion in Facer - looks awesome on my Moto360! No battery issues so far, will report back.

Same here. Not smooth at all. Even when smooth second hand is checked in settings.
Just picked up the WatchMaker beta - they have just added smooth second hands!!
The sweeping is VERY smooth - way more than Facer - they claim something like 30+ frames per sec as they use a gaming engine for rendering.
The pain for Facer and WatchMaker is that I want all my watches to use sweeping without changing the tags to drss each time - does anyone know how to do this?
#DWFSS# will kill your moto 360 battery. FYI
This has not been my experience, I am not really seeing any change in battery life.

What watch face you using?
I have been switching through several of them, I don't look at the watch all that much. Let me know what one you are seeing drain from and I will load it up and see what impact it has on my watch.
I'm using the facer and the Dwfss doesn't kill anymore than the Dwfs
Not on and English site yet, but here it is in Japanese.
http://consumer.huawei.com/jp/press/news/hw-478102.htm

In this update, watch face-related enhancements and various bug fixes have been made.
The enhanced part, some face corresponds to the color display in the energy-saving mode
"Roman 3D" is added as a new watch face.
new ring tones "Bounce," "Dream it possible", "Spring"
bug fixes: Bluetooth disconnection fix, phone call interrupted fix, cycling is misidentified as climbing fix, tilt-to-wake improved, Google map rotation fix, unexpected restart fix.
Has anyone received it yet?
nothing yet here..... but im excited
Tried to force update. Restarted watch a couple of times. Says I'm up to date but still on 1.4. I'm in Canada if that makes a difference.
effing brilliant!!! So pleased, i just got one and have heard about the red screen tint and that 'upset' me so seeing a fix in the works is great.
C'mon . . . .C'mon - so impatient - checks for update again . . .
Nice find. Waiting for OTA
I got it earlier today. I did TWRP backup, but restored back to MEC23L to see if I could get it again and capture the OTA. Seemed a little faster, probably placebo.

I couldn't find it. There was just Roman, like normal. No "Roman 3d".
Has anyone had any luck? There's nothing in the UK at the moment, except euroscepticism
Can someone capture the OTA please?
Can someone post the OTA?
thanks for the info... waiting for the OTA
I just received the update! It's not a big improvement. A couple bugfixes like bluetooth! Just 3 new ringtones and a new designed Roman watchface. Pretty cool tough! Can't tell if the red circle is gone because I didn't had that problem. I got the update right after I restored my watch because I had a lot of bluetooth connection problems. http ://imgur. com /a/Qfd5p (please remove the empty spaces)

Just exactly the same as the Roman one. Except there is a 'shiny side' when you tilt your watch. And when you're watch goes into dim mode it's a little bit different. Look my post above.

for those who have gotten the update and use Google fit, can you keep an eye on your step count? when my 360 sport updated to 1.5 my steps dropped like 40% and others have reported the issue as well (though it seems like a minority.) I want to hold off updating my hwatch if this is the case.

So it came in with TWRP installed? I have that and a custom rooted kernel and nothing yet. I wonder if I need to restore to stock to get the OTA?
Would anyone please capture the link of OTA zip file? I'm on the stock FW but still don't receive 1.5. Can't wait for it!

Hey all, looking to get input for a working flash notification app. For when you get a text, call, app notification, etc... Perviously used a few on the Note 7 but can't seem to find one down that fully functions.
Thanks in advance!
Flashing notifications has always been a big deal to me. I've been let down in the past with some devices limitation on different lights and what not. I purchased an app a couple years ago that works great if your device can handle it. I've tested it on the pixel and it works excellent. It's called lightflow.. and here's the play store link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow&hl=en
You do need root, and in setting - notifications - click on the gear - turn on pulse notification light (which is off by default!?!?!?!). You also need to give it rights in the accessibility menu.
Should work fine for you as it's working GREAT for me.
Good luck!

here's a free version.. not sure how limited it is.. might be good for testing purposes (but I can already tell you this is working fine).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite&hl=en
also, I read on this app it doesn't REQUIRE root which I thought was required when I first purchased the app. Things might have changed. I did root my pixel and this app is working fine. If it doesn't work, it might be root related if you don't have root.

Hi guys.
Im a real big stock android fan, and so i also really like it to have softkeys.
Now, i will be upgrading to the Lineage OS for our device when it comes out of the alpha, but i would really like to have a navbar with that.
Can anyone make another thread to show us how to do it? You can just reply to this message too.
But just make kind of a tutorial, do i have to root, or not?
Just tell me how to do it please.
Thanks guys!

If you want to get a real navbar you will need root. There are some apps that allow the navbar with just a click like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatedevgroup.softkeyenabler or you could do it the hard way by editing the build.prop but there's a higher chance of messing something up.
Just go to /system/build.prop file and add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" without the quotes.. Every phone has a built in Nav bars

Thanks, I haven't tried this app before, but I did try a similar app. They're all right, but the only problem is they cover a part of the screen. They are not part of the system. And that's what I'm after. But thanks anyways man!
