Hi all.
Highly experimental app I've been working on. It basically uses the accelerometer and ambient light sensor to handle gesture events.
Current features:
- Wave to answer
- Wave to ignore
- Autolock when dark
- Turn to unlock
- Shake to save
It works well on my Fuze, but I'm not sure about other HTC devices.
Also, it needs the .NET Compact Framework.
Any feedback, let me know!

Dont work on HTC Imagio is cause dont have ligth sensor?
great idea
Very nice idea!
I dont know how to "turn like a key" though
Will post more feedback when I try a phone call.. its 5 AM here now
very nice application....i saw the video clip...good....is it possible to make the wave and it will activate the speaker mode...this will be a good feature when we're driving..
Thanks will test it out
Awsome!
The autolock feature is a bit touchy on my TP2. Even on the less sensative setting it still will autolock on and off. Not a feature I want though so no worries.
Thanks!
Thanks for your feedback, all!
About the speakerphone feature, I have it added in the latest version. If anything comes up that needs fixing, I will add that, but otherwise you should see an update later today
Sorry I never got back to you about the PoC gesture app earlier.
I've just tested out this new experimental app - cool idea!
I was able to get 'Wave to answer' and 'Wave to ignore' going easily enough when the TP was on my desk and on a chair closer to the window. I had to wave a couple times to get the desired response but found that if I move my hand across the light sensor for about .5 seconds around an inch above the phone it was pretty consistent.
I couldn't get the 'AutoLock' working consistently. If I cover the light sensor with a piece of paper or put the top 80% of the phone into a cloth bag it doesn't lock. A few times when I was covering the light sensor with my hand the lock screen flashed up but disappeared again without me having to unlock it.
It took a bit to figure out how to unlock the lock screen but from watching your YouTube video and playing around I can do it easily. It seems best to grab the phone between my thumb and index finger with my thumb on the lock icon (so it is green). Then I flick the bottom end of the phone quickly 90 degrees and back. It is harder to do when holding the right way up - it seems that the bottom end needs to have the motion rather than the top end.
'Shake to Save' is sweet, however, it was inconsistent for me. I'm not sure if there is a particular shaking orientation that works best (it is hard to tell in your video). When it worked it was quick and easy.
At about medium sensitivity the average light sensor reading is around 14 when sitting on my desk on a cloudy day. If I set it on a chair closer to the window I get an average of around 25.
I am using ChangeScreen - a g-sensor orientation flipper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468488 I've set an exception for 'gesture' but it hasn't seemed to helped (well, it does prevent the Gestures app from changing orientation when I tilt/shake the phone).
Nice experiment!

Thanks for the feedback.
The sensitivity does not affect how much the light reading is, nor the G-sensor sensitivity. It has more to do with how much of a light change counts as a gesture.
As for shake to save, the program currently uses the Z vector to tell if its shaking. This is pure force (up/down) of the phone, but it's been very hard to activate even for me.
I'm going to switch it to X or Y once I get ready to release the new version, just to make it easier.

I feel silly asking but the Z axis runs along the length of the phone, from the mic end to the speaker end? And the X axis runs from side-to-side, while the Y axis is the thickness (screen-to-back of battery)?
Here's a diagram. It's for a wiimote, but I guess its the same principal:

}
The important thing to note is that the X and Y are based on rotation, while Z is based on G-force (gravity) pulling on it.
would love to use this app
how do I update my .NET Compact Framework so that is works?
thanks
Google .net CF 3.5. Download and install. i believe it can install through active sync and cab directly.
nice
look nice, will give it a go and get back with the feedback
Did some changes with the Shake to save, and add auto-speakerphone.
Should be the same download link, but if you have problems let me know (Visual Studio is deploying kindof weird):

Questions... does the app stay resident in the background so that any gesture will trigger the actions? how's the battery drain?

Yes it does, the battery drain is fairly insignificant I think, but I'm not a battery junkie so I haven't really compared it.

!! The only application that will let you set your watch truly DARK !!!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.preiss.swapps.truedarkwear
If you use your watch at night or in dark places (in Theater, while driving at night, on your bed table...) you will definitively love SWApp True Dark !!!
Google Wear Theater mode is offering you this:
When enabled, the screen is OFF, you can't see anything at all.
If you want to have a look at incoming notifications you have to turn the screen on and the luminosity is then far too high.
SWApp True Dark lets you darken your watch screen as much as you want it !
You will still be able to see your clock face and incoming notifications but with such a low luminosity that you won't bother other People !
SWApp True Dark will allow you to put your watch on his dock at night while emitting far less light then usual even with luminosity put at its minimum, letting you see the time but without being disturbed by the light.
Dark mode can be auto enabled when the watch is on his dock (you can enable this feature during a certain period only, at night for example).
Lower luminosity means lower battery usage too !
You can enable a side swipe area from any side of the watch to toggle on/off the application.
The watch luminosity can be set on remotely from your phone or on your watch.
See included real life photos
they are all taken at 1/15s, f6.3, iso 12800 on a LG Watch R
Left Column is with SWApp True Dark Disabled with Watch luminosity set at minimum
Right Column is with SWApp True Dark Enabled
Any feedback is highly welcome (suggestions, issues...)

I have put a very low price so that anybody can afford the application.
Video
This video shows how dark your wear watch can get with SWApp True Dark enabled.
SWApp True Dark is toggled on/off and its strengh is adjusted from the linked phone.
The LG G Watch R used in the video is set at minimum luminosity.
*!!! Try SWApp True Dark for Free !!!*
I have decided to let you try SWApp True Dark Wear for free.
*The application will work until Sunday*
This will let you see if you like the app or not.
*Please give us some feedback and tell us what wear watch you are using*

Problem is not affording 1$, i dont have credit card currently. I tryed with moto 360 and it's consistently disconnect from phone. I Don't know why but after unistalling program returned to normal.
After all its good and useable.
And last of it, 1 cm from the bottom after to sensor remains above bright space. Is that normal?

I have only had good feedback on Moto 360 so far.
could you try to reboot your watch and phone?
I tried this briefly tonight on my Sony Smartwatch 3 and it has worked perfect so far. I went ahead and purchased it from the play store. I love how you have the light bulb to turn it on and off easily and the ui is easy to use. I'm looking forward to being able to have my watch at a low light level while checking it in bed at night.
Thanks for developing this.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! i'm glad to know that it's working fine on the Sony too [emoji41]
And for your support as you bought it right away!
Thanks! I like the idea but at my watch it looks like a black/brown layer on top instead of adjusting the brightness. For example with "wear mini launcher" you can adjust the brightness below the normal settings. Only thing is when screen turns off and on again, brightness setting is to default again...
Your app holds its settings, so that's a good workaround for now.

Actually i don't modify the ui Luminosity. I will add the option to do it in next version.
Hi
It would be great to do a locale plugin, to enable/disable your app with more complex conditions (enabled @home for example)
Hi, I'm just trying your free apk. Very nice idea mainly for dim mode because original brightness setup do not works for dim mode. So it really interessting to have an app to setup brightness on the dim mode.
SO, if I can suggest one idea, it is to have 2 setting for Dark, one for active mode, and one for dim mode.
I can use your app to darken my watch ( LG-R) in dim mode, but I do not like that app dark also my own setup for active mode. I use my watch without movement activation so I choose myself the active mode only when I want and watch mainly used in dim mode.
Here are my screenshoot.
After reset and reinstall apk still same, and screen turns reverse.
And still have bright side on screen.Mabe because of Wear Mini Launcher ?

Thanks for the suggestions !
Actually when i have started the dev, setting brightness on both mode was expected to be included in this first version. But by lack of time i have postponed this a little. You will eventually be able to save different Brightness levels and create profiles with independant brightness in both mode.
If you have any other suggestions they will be welcome !

Thanks a lot for your feedback !! My app has been rejected from Wear apps by google because of a problem with moto 360. And i have been sent a picture very similar to yours.
And it has worried me a lot because i really didn't understand why my app was off center on the moto 360 and why there was an empty space on the side whereas my root layout is blue and cover all screen ???
You might have a good idea regarding mini launcher !
Could you make some tries for me ?
1. try to uninstall Mini Launcher
2.Try to disable the swipe to toggle feature in my app
3. Enable it and try different sides for the swipe area
Thanks in advance, this will help me solve the problem and give me some info to reply to google regarding my app Wear approval

To install the paid app after using the trial, must I do uninstall the trial version or waiting asking for trial to migrate on normal app ?
Hi,
I have developed an Xposed module to enable the pad in Pokemon Go.
The module allows to set a starting GPS position, set the pad speed an to start the game directly from the module UI (pressing the PokemonGo logo).
To enable/disable the pad, just switch to enable/disable.
The module DOESN'T USE MOCK POSITION. I used a different approach to develop the module.
For this reason, it's more difficult to discover (probably) by a mock location checker, but there is a little time delay between the click on the pad and the game position update.
It's still in development, so please report some issue or improvement suggestions.
Instructions:
1) Start the "DarkPokemonGo" app.
2) Set initial GPS position (default is Pisa, Leaning Tower) and speed (expressed as degrees for click, REALLY
recommended default speed is 0.0001). Remember to validate them (click on DONE,ENTER on keyboard)!!!
3) Enable module (and pad appears).
4) Start game (pressing the PokemonGo logo).
5) ENJOY!
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for ban or other issues! Use this module on your risk.

FAQs
Does the eggs system work?
Yes! If you set a low speed (default one is fine) and move slowly from one point to another, it works!
Is the module noticeable?
It shouldn't. Anyway my advice is to set a starting point and then move slowly from one location to another using the pad. If you move quickly from a side to the world to another, you could be banned!
Do I need to enable mock location? And GPS?
No, mock location is not required. Yes, you need to turn GPS on.
Can you add the feature X?
Sure, I'm opened to improvement suggestions.

Just stopped working ? Check please !
Was working perfectly for a couple now just stopped working
My vision log/lat settings also didn't work
Hey! I was using your mod and was soft ban in less than 5 minutes.(bummer) but it's a great one just not unnoticeable enough for Niantic.
Would you be able to add an option to either continue from current location or add a map so we are able to select start location rather than the latitude and longitude?
Hey Darkalbo, thx for this great module! It's perfect for when it rains, I'm feeling lazy or I want to catch Italian pokemon. I have a few suggestions, though.
-I don't know what controls you use in your video, but my fingers are way to big to reliably use your navigation buttons. One possibility would be to put one button at every edge of the screen, maybe also translucent and with a N/E/S/W designation. But anything to make my movement less random would be a big help.
-GPS coordinates are not easy to work with, I think. It would be a little easier if there were some presets or profiles we could make for the coordinates, like actual location, last ingame location, Pisa, home.
-Option to turn vibration off?
That's just my two cents.
Does it solve the most common problem with xposed modules related to pokemon go? That being The Module/ Joystick disappears or the app closes as it can't retain in memory. 1gb RAM phone here. If yes , i'll sure try this
I tried this today. First of all, thank you so much for developing this module!!!
Some bugs that I found - it's difficult to maneuver and get the direction you want. Could you add a feature that gives you the option to start from your current position, and move around from there?
Also, when I was moving around locally and collecting from the Pokéstops, it was perfect. Then I put myself into the New York Botanicals and then my goodies stopped coming when I would spin a Pokéstop.

Try to restart your phone so the Xposed framework should reload the module.

It's unnoticeable by client side, but it's still noticeable from server side. If you go from NYC to Tokyo and then put your GPS location on London, they could think that you are cheating or you have invented teleportation
My advice is to move slowly from one location an another, without "jump".

Yes, my advice is to move slowly from one point to another and not just "jump". This is the reason because I have developed the option to set a starting point, and then just move slowly around the map, because in this way the module is unnoticeable from Niantic server. If you move from NYC to Tokyo or Paris in just 5 minutes, they could notice something strange
Picked lon/lat but once loaded in I'm stood in the middle of the ocean when I know it's a big city? Any ideas?
---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------
When I add a long lat of a big city I I'm standing in the middle of the ocean with nothing around me but when I clear the dark Pokemon cache it takes me to Pisa again.
I think they recognise me...
Or I became very unlucky or they are punishing me
It works fine for 6 minutes but after that I could move without catch any...

Does anyone know what Bluetooth Class the Amazfit uses?
Today i had my phone (Huawei P9lite) on the bottom of my car's trunk and was over 40 Meters away from it. Despite that fact i got several messages on my watch.
This seems an unusual long distance to me.
So at least i really can not complain about the range of my BT.
For who is interested in 1.2.1 Hua Watch App here is my link :https://app.box.com/s/uzov816mmzagzctcj71mlniaph5qhrdu
As there is little or no info available on HW after some investigation for me it looks like its Ingenic M200 CPU, and its probably following newton2 platform. Maybe somebody find this useful.

I can confirm this. There are many references in the firmware to ingenic code.
Can someone confirm that with Amazfit Watch App 1.2.1 the ability to upload custom watch faces got lost?

Have the same issue here. With 1.2.0 it worked, with 1.2.1 it is gone.
But honestly, i found the feature quite useless as a transflective LCD isn't really good in displaying images and the readability of the watch face gets worse with a background image.
it worked for me, thanks for the translation!!
Had just another issue that i find a bit annoying.
Went out for a little run and had to go slow because of the snow.
The watch automatically paused the logging. so i had to take my gloves off to keep it going. while putting my gloves back on, it already paused again. i left the watch unattended and it really didn't record most of my run. It recorded a time of 42 minutes but only 900 meters.
They should at least wait two minutes with GPS on and check if the runner continues moving. What if you have to stop at a traffic light?
Today I did a run again. The GPS was failing again with US-firmware. I am very disappointed with the reception.

Seems that the GPS is turning off. You should really go for another firmware.
My lat/long precision is decent with 1.2.6b but elevation in the first few trackpoints still has the value -20000meters

Hi flintzen_123,
I have done 2, 3 running sessions in the open area with the 1.2.6b and the recorded track is typically withing 5 m from the actual track.
Occasionally I get smooth deviation of something like 10m but it it is not very often.
When I was with 1.2.5 I had deviations like 100m but the recorded track was continuous.
In your case your GPS loses the sync with the satellites. You have not stooped or running very slow, correct?
I hope it is not a hardware issue you are facing.
If I have to summarize the watch GPS (1.2.6b) is kind of OK even though
it is at least twice as less accurate as my phone, but probably I should expect this?
Not sure what is the typical accuracy of the Garmin watches.
What I am missing now is the Altitude and simple Strava export from my phone.
Regards
Dimitar

I was not running slowly, so that can't be it. I needed to stop a couple of meters before the connection was lost since I needed to cross a main street with frequently running cars. Also I do not understand, that sometimes everything just works fine and another time it is totally unusable. Almost the same route then. I have now switched to the latest chinese firmware, but still the measurements are shown in miles instead of kilometers. When I first switched back to version 0.9.5. the km were back but with the latest version it shows miles again.
Beleriand said:
Have the same issue here. With 1.2.0 it worked, with 1.2.1 it is gone.
But honestly, i found the feature quite useless as a transflective LCD isn't really good in displaying images and the readability of the watch face gets worse with a background image.

The watchfaces work quite well if you modify the golden rooster watchface and apply a vector based background image, then it displays the white clock hands on your colored background, which is nicely readable. The only annoying issue is, that clock hands don't move when the screen ist idle. You have to wake up the screen to see what time it really is.

thats only partly true. you can't see the seconds in realtime, but watch face is updated every minute in idle mode...

I know it works but i prefer maximum contrast. So if the hands are white then the background has to be black and an all black background is not an "image"
All that fancy stuff looks better on OLED or regular LCD.

What kind of Phone is that? I want it.
My Amazfit performs on an equal level to a Garmin Oregon 450 and all the phones i had so far were worse than that.
The Oregon is not perfect but it is usable for Openstreetmap mapping and geocaching. Most high sensitive GPS receivers have more or less problems with reflections that make the position inprecise but that is what they are made for. A receiver that works even without direct satellite view. Best was my GPSMAP 60CSx with an sirfIII chipset but they do not build them any more.

Adds a configurable Energy Ring around the camera lens indicating current Battery level. Dive into the various configuration options, not only you can quickly glance and get the battery info but, Energy Ring adds an accent to your phone's camera lens.
Got a full charge? The Ring will be a 360 degree wrap around the front camera lens.
Battery depleting? So will the arc of Energy Ring.
Out of the box features:-
✓ Energy Ring can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to a donut thick ring
✓ Energy Ring puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
✓ Energy Ring's direction can be configured as clockwise/bidirectional/anti-clockwise
✓ Energy Ring can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
✓ Energy Ring can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
✓ Energy Ring could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient (pro)
✓ You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
✓ Energy Ring has a number of cool animations whenever a power source is plugged into your device
All that is cool! But what about Energy Ring consuming Battery?!
This is one of the most exciting question for me to answer. Energy Ring more than anything understands that you need to utilize your battery efficiently (after all, that's why you installed the App, right? .) Energy Ring sits on the screen silently putting almost 0% load on CPU, if battery level changes, Android wakes up Energy Ring. Once awake, Energy Ring quickly updates itself and goes back to sleep. And to be that extra efficient, the Ring goes on deep sleep when you turn off the screen, meaning it doesn't even read changes in battery level when the screen is off.
Accessibility Service Requirement:
Android requires Energy Ring to run as an Accessibility Service, to be able to display on Lock Screen. It does not read/monitor any data, whatsoever. This is especially useful for people who have disability to read numbers and work better with visual data.

Great app, already love it and donated.
One thing I noticed is that the color ring can be difficult to be seen on light backgrounds depending on the colors you use for the ring.
Would it be possible to add an option to choose a different color for the ring e.g. when the statusbar icons change from white to black color?

Glad that you love the App, enjoy!
Regarding the color options, I am afraid there is no straight forward way to detect if Status Bar Icons have changed their color, any workaround to detect that might end up consuming battery, which may go against the philosophy of the App - to display battery level and not consume it.
Never mind, was just an idea
I played around with the colors and found a compromise which works fine enough for me.
Great job works well
Looks good, kudo's!

Hey! No problem! There are different version of the App on Play Store, may be you got confused, enjoy the App!
Is no one seeing an issue where the device, when rotated (YouTube videos for example), shows the energy Ring offset upwards towards the left hand middle of the screen? Surely I can't be the only one right? See screenshot when rotated counterclockwise. It's also off (in a different direction) when rotated clockwise.

I found Good Lock in the Galaxy Store. I'm not sure why you can't find it. I'd assume Sammobile may have the apk file for "sideloading" somewhere on their site.

Just installed on s21 ultra. Will see how it goes thanks.
I like it, it's cool.. But the charging animations are a little choppy/glitchy. It's like it's running at 15 fps rather than the buttery-smooth 120 hz the S21 is capable of.
Or maybe the animations aren't looping exactly right? I can't tell, but there's something off.
I liked your app.
since updating firmware to android 12 it's not working anymore.
app gives an error and closes
@jagan2 could you please check your email? Or send a PM on here please?
Hi @jagan2,
First thing, I totally love the app! It is very stylish and brings the phone to life.
I wanted to share some feedback (I'm using a Pixel 6 Pro):
I find changing the ring origin too easy, it would be great to add a lock button to leave it fixed.
Also, it would be great to know if you really set it to 0 degrees or 90... I think maybe adding (inside the ring?) an editable text box synchronized with the ring could be perfect. Another idea would be to set the angle to 0, 90... whenever the user got close as if there were invisible guides (this would limit some weird users that might want it on 5 degrees or whatever though).
Please please please, could you add a configuration of merged segments but in gradient mode? Right now merged segments allows an amazing level of configuration as I can set colour 1 to be until 30%, color 2 until 40%, color 3 to 80% and color 4 to 100%. But if I use the gradient feature, I have no control of how long of the ring each color should appear for.
About the animations, I agree with #12, animations seem to start moving gradually but they seem to finish abruptly. Maybe the deceleration algorithm is missing or not finishing properly or something?
Thank you very much for your work!
#Edit: I've been able to kind of sort out point 3 adding 10 colors so each of those are 10% increments (putting a color twice in a row would be a 20% range). It's WAY more beautiful this way! But a bit cumbersome to set up.
Hi @jagan2,
There's a massive bug! If I put my Pixel 6 Pro in landscape, the energy ring disappears.
Can you please fix this? I can help you test it.
Seems like the option to hide the energy ring in full-screen apps also hides it whenever you put your phone in landscape. I thought it would be able to detect when an app is being shown in fullscreen and hide only in those scenarios?
Thanks
@jagan2 , I reached out to you via alemail a few weeks ago but you haven't responded. I'm not sure if you remember, but I helped you with making Energy Ring compatible with the T-Mobile OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro shortly after they were released. I'm now on a custom ROM and your app isn't compatible with it. A dev on Telegram told me to have you do something to make it compatible with the ROM, and/or while using custom props (Pixel). Please PM me on here on on Telegram at the same username as on here. Thanks.
Update: Fixed the issue of System turning off Accessibility Service of Energy Ring frequently, it was a Android System Level bug, a workaround has been deployed successfully, let me know if Energy Ring is stable again for you!
P.S. I am flooded with emails and messages, apologies if I couldn't reply all!
Hey, I used it for my Galaxy S21 Ultra for long time but now for the S23 Ultra it is not on the right place.
Same issue here on S23 Ultra! The icon is displayed to the right of the camera, it's not centered and can't be moved in any way.
Would be awesome if you could take a look. I'm sing this app since my S10+ and I can't live without it
