[APP] Standby Touch - simple app for a simple job

Warning! This has been developed and tested on Galaxy Nexus. It should work fine on SIII, but have a backup, just in case something goes wrong (can't imagine what)
Today I got a little bit bored and decide to make this simple app. As the name says, it allows to put the phone in Standby (Lock) with the touch of app's icon. I know that there are many many apps that do this, but maybe in the future I could add other options to it. So far it seems to work fine, I tested it with Jellbro latest nightly and works like a charm. Maybe I am too lazy, but because my phone is on the desk most of the day, I find it not very convenient to press the Power button...

Changelog for version 1.4:
1.4
- added Tasks feature
- on some ROM versions the screen my try to turn itself on again after lock, the app will double check and try to lock it again. Please provide feedback if it still does not work.
- minor graphic tweaks
You can find it on Google Play at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alinberce.standbytouch
Feel free to give me suggestions . Also a high rating on Google Play would help. Thanks.

I am using the app and haven't got any "wake screen" events. So hopefully works as expected.
I was thinking of a feature:
1. set an interval in seconds, let's say 60
2. set in the app, Enable touch screen to wake
3. in you press the screen on this interval, the phone awakes.
This of course with the cost of battery life....
What do you say, is is useful or not ?

works but not exactly like power button .
screen flashes white for a couple ms
but like the other functions
(just wondering whether you make a setting so you can choose whether or not to put device into deep sleep ) prob stupid function coz u always want ur device to go into deep sleep when screen off
thanks

No flashes for me, screen goes immediately off when i press icon, nice Ui look good also. I made swipe gesture to nova launcher, when i swipe up with 2 fingers, screen goes off.
Thanks.

on uninstalling my phone does not autolock anymore, neither does the screen time out, tried on ics, not happy with that, also with the software it would lock the phone on toggling but however it would not turn the screen off, not pretty happy.

@cletusarrarr I am sorry but I can't understand what you said. The app has nothing to do with screen time out or any other system settings.

May I ask what you use for the circle selector ?
Looks great

Thanks @Tolriq... the circle ideas came to me sudden and I've made it from scratch. There is no control I've used. Basically there are 2 custom views, a smaller one with the hour circle and a bigger one with the minutes circles, with some touch and rotation events. Glad you like it, I haven't seen anything like it in any other app. Somehow I think that there are still tweaks to be made, maybe, sometimes it's easy to go wrong by pressing unintentionally on the other one.

Thx! 5 star given!
But still sometimes the screen come back briefly b4 it locks again. I read comments in screen off fx that it doesn't hv this problem on s3. Maybe u can check it out if u hv time. Meanwhile I really enjoy ur work coz the design of the icon is so cool!

I have encountered this screen shown in some ROMs, in another it didn't appear (this on my Galaxy Nexus). The app only accesses a standard android function to lock the screen, without any bells and whistles. I could not find why it was happening like that, so I just try to make a relock after half of a second (just in case the screen turns on).
Thank you very much for your kind workds.

It's perfect. Love the simplicity of the icon.

Thanks a lot. If you guys have any ideas for features, please let me know.

I've just released a new version in the market. Unfortunatelly it does not have new features as I've been really busy in the last few months but includes two important things:
- there is no more white screen + app's icon when pressing the app's icon, just before the screen shuts down
- I added compatibility with JB 4.2
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alinberce.standbytouch

I have also released a refreshed version of my babies app, I'd love to hear some feedback from those of you who have small babies (1 to 3 years old):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34258314#post34258314

Hi guys,
I have released a new version of the app. I have removed the Tasks feature as it wasn't too helpful and added Sleep Mode. So basically, the Sleep Mode shows for a brief moment (the time you set in Settings) 2 icons which allows you to switch off Sound/Wi-Fi/Data.
Here is how it works:
1. Go to Settings -> Zzzzzz Mode -> Set the interval in hours when you want the icons to be displayed. Set the milliseconds to be displayed and check the toggles you want to disable
2. Next time you press the StandBy icon you will see 2 icons on the screen. The moon icon puts the phone to standby and toggles off the checked things from settings. The sun icon, simply turns them on again and closes, without going into standby.
Any feedback is gladly received.

[Request] Daniel Wellington (Facer)

Would anything be willing to make this watch face? I like the simplicity, but elegance of this watch face:

}

Sure thing. This should be a couple of minutes only.
Here you go. Looks much nicer on the watch.

Can I request a black background? And, sorry to n00b it, is there a way to set the ambient screen to the a lighter (meaning less bright) version of the watch without the second hand moving? Is that something I can do?
GREAT work man

The watch is only made with the light background. I can invert the image and desaturate the blue tint, and you'll have a black background with white/grey markers and text. What I will not do is recreate/photoshop out all the markers and just replace the background with black and keep the markers in gold, as that is way way more work than your original request. If you're ok with the black/white look, I can easily do that.

There is no second hand on my watch, as the original DW doesn't have it either, neither does the image on your OP. It's only hour and minute. As far as changing the image when it's dimmed, it's just a matter of duplicating the layer, changing the opacity and setting that to show when dimmed, and setting the original layer not to show when dimmed.
I'm not entirely sure if you're talking to me thinking of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/themes-apps/daniel-wellington-watchface-t2982668
or thinking of these:
http://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/daniel-wellington-classic-black-date-plus-14a7ca2ac1e
http://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/daniel-wellington-classic-silver-date-14a7c79b209
All three of those somehow, magically, appeared online after I created mine based on your request.
If none of those three are what you want, I can modify the one I made. But I don't want to waste my time, so check those out and let me know.

Thanks, I will try and muddle through the settings. Still very new to this. I am using Watchmaker, and will play around.
There are some of the watches I like, but I use ambient setting, and for some the watch face disappears and only the hands remain. Others have a second hand that freezes in ambient mode, then jumps around when it activates fully.
If that even makes sense.
Thanks for all the work, you do a phenomenal job.

Thanks! I ran into the issue where 4 Pm appears as 8 pm on my watch. Bug?

I think it's because this watch face lacks 12 hour time support. Any way to add this in? Thanks

Watch Face does not lack 12 hour support. It's using the standard tag. You can also just change that yourself in Facer by opening the layer for the hour hand and changing the rotation tag.

Hi, I love this face, but it keeps displaying the wrong time. Sometimes it shows it like 8 hours out but currently it's not moving the hour hand with minutes, just staying exactly on the hour.
Anyone / @Max_Pain have any idea?
Edit: in fact, the hour hand is stuck at 12.

What watch face are you using?

I'd like to see/hear what everyone is using for their watch faces. I switch a lot but my go to is Pujie Black. So many ways to customize it. So what is everyone using?

I'm currently using the Scoon Tech 1 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scoonwear.tech1. I find it a little dorky, but I wanted a watch face that showed me the temperature on it. Interested in other suggestions for simple/customizeable watch faces with weather/other module options. I also had the dreaded battery drain issue today, not sure if it was the watch face or something else random.

Still playing ingress

There are 4 things I like to see on a watch face:
- Time
- Date
- Battery power
- Weather
The Odyssey watch face shows all of these things and looks pretty decent.

A close second for me is Krona Sunlight, which has the added benefit of showing you the weather for the next 24 hours in a very interesting way.

I am using the 9 to 5 Working Hours Watchface, it shows me how long I have been at work, how long to my break and how log till I can gtfo.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atektura.ninetofivewatchface&hl=en
The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't show phone battery or weather, but I have learnt to live without that.

I wonder how these watchfaces perform in terms of battery life. With the stock ones, boring as they may be ☺ I easily get three days, and ultimately I realized that this is what matters to me.

Most of then are pretty good. It's the faces made by facer and watchmaker that I find to be not much chop.

I know I go back an forth a lot and just get bored quickly of the basic ones. But sometimes they are nice for their simplicity.

Similar to this or a shine effect only around camera or tens of other styles can be used to indicate an event such as charging, music playing or a notification to help you to know even who texted you just by a glance far from your phone.
some of you may know this app before and some may had struggled with it in its bad moment with a broken version but it did not stop improving and all got fixed and many more feature added.
Because this app has tons of options to customize your phone, even wallpapers, I will start by writing instructions for how to enable the basic options of the feature which this thread is about:
How To:
1- Search google play "AOE" or "Always On Edge" and install this ~6MB App
2- Enter section #1 "Main Settings"
choose if you want the LED effect to be shown within System Ambient Display or a separated screen
3- enable accessibility services and give required permissions
4- Go back and enter section #2 "App settings"
for when to light choose "when a notification comes" and/or charging lighting as you like
5- scroll to bottom and save.
6- Enter enabled apps section and make sure the app you will test with is enabled
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
Please give the app some time only once and then you will not need to even open it:
After testing please discover all sections the app can do what ever you need for such feature
like at the same place of step 4 you can enable Mixer which show all current notifications colors
and Reminder which repeat lighting every X seconds and let other options you may like.
in lighting settings section you can customize the general style of lighting.
the app is indeed complicated due to variety of options and I'm always working on improving it.
Battery Drain:
I use it personally for notifications only, all apps, while screen is on and off, reminder for 5 seconds every 5 seconds limited to 30 repeat and I got 100s of emails and messages and the app is not even on system battery use list. but in general this app can be used with no noticeable difference in battery usage and it can drain your battery in few hours. it depends on the options you choose, there are a lot of options to minimize battery consuming it basically depends on lighting time and enabled widgets.
in worst cases there is options to prevent the app from working if device is not charging and other 10s of options so you can set when the app should not light as when the app should light.
App brief description:
AOE contain a lot of features and options and all can be customized as you like, here is some of the main features:
Edge lighting can also be customized for charging, music, wallpaper and many other events
It can be customized to work in a highly flexible way with AOD clock or independently, or even both like Tap to Light feature.
Lighting can be around all screen or around front camera or both with many other lighting place options like LED style with variety of animations.
You can use it to show lighting effects for many events like notifications including missed calls of course, charging, fully charged, screen lock, screen unlock, headset plugged, listening to music ,
ongoing or outgoing calls, recent apps menu and flash after unlock.
You can customize lighting color, style, effect and place for each event, each app, each contact name or even each chat group.
Notifications light has more useful additional features like Reminder which the lighting will be repeated every period you choose and you can even choose to make a sound alert for notification reminder,
and Mixer which will iterate through all current notifications colors..
Brightness can be adjusted regardless of the lighting is independent or with Always On Display, on top of that you can set high brightness for lights and low brighting for AOD/clock widgets.
It has many options to restrict its job like prevent the app from lighting if device is charging, not charging, not in landscape mode, low battery, sleep time or to follow Do Not Disturb mode.
with a block list to prevent it from working for someone
AOE also support lighting in all screen states, turned off or turned on, horizontal or vertical.

Pretty cool! I didn't know about this app so thanks for sharing! Anyone else have any cool mods or recommendations for settings?

Awesome. Could you add the settings you use to center it on the hole? I'm getting there but just be nice as a starting point then could adjust thickness to taste . Thanks again! So cool. Takes me to back to OMG! NEXUS HAS A NOTIFICATION LED.

sorry I do not have a pixel but automatic adjustment should be fine initially (is not it?) then click preview and adjust manually a little bit using -+ buttons

Already paid for the Lifetime. This works really well!

This is as close as I could get it to center.

That's seems different from mine. By 10+ on some. I wonder how much the display size setting effect it. Thank you for the starting point.

I managed to use this app but everytime I got a new message after a restart, the app just don't work, does anybody knows a workaround? or it's just me not having a correct config?

General Bugs that I've noticed.

I will be posting bugs and maybe you too just so that we can compile them and maybe we can solve them using the reply functions or something.
Here are mine:
Reacting doesn't work right on Facebook it'll being up the options but I have to take my finger off and tap on the reaction I want.
Spire mobile banking app only in landscape
Commenity good sam's credit card log in refreshes when tapping username or password fields (tested on edge and Samsung internet both using desktop and mobile site) only when I use outer screen did it work. I didn't try chrome cause I've been trying to oust chrome.
YouTube randomly launches in multivideo or regular mobile version displaying only one video spread across screen.
Log in button on xda doesn't function on edge only on chrome. Which is what I'm using to post this.
If you got answers or resolutions lmk. If you got bugs post em .

I noticed sometimes when I tap things near the bottom of the screen in an app the phone will briefly flash another app as if it thinks I want to swipe to that app. Sometimes it actually does switch to another app. Does this happen to anyone?

If I use Bixby to set a timer, then move the little on screen timer to somewhere convenient it resets to its default position upon changing folding and/or screen orientation

I think your finger activated the bottom home/back gesture. You can turn on the gesture guide so there is more offset from bottom so less accidentally activation.

In hopes that somebody from Samsung may actually come across this I'll add another thing.. this is copied and pasted from multiple Reddit posts I made earlier tonight
On the Z Fold 3 I noticed that if you change minimum width on the main large screen it also affects the smaller screen. Does anybody know if there is a way to have Bixby routines manipulate developer options so that I can set one width for main screen and one width for smaller screen?
Anyways it'd be nice to have this option available rather than just zoom and font size options via Bixby routines
