Long story short, coming from a long time Huawei fanboy but now have an S23 Ultra. From a thread on here I’ve discovered aodNotify and love it. That got me thinking, what other apps do people consider essential to enhance the phone experience?

I love Energy Ring: Universal Edition:
Energy Ring: Universal Edition - Apps on Google Play
Battery, Cam/Mic/GPS Access indicator around your punch-hole camera lens!
play.google.com
This lets you put a battery ring around the camera punch hole to make it useful. It also allows me to clear up my notification area and not have battery Icon/percentage there.
I just think it looks cleaner:

Just tried it, can’t get it to align on my S23 Ultra
Also, in case anyone is wondering, you can remove most of the icons on the Status bar:
Install Good Lock: https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.goodlock
Launch Good Lock and install QuickStar
Enable Quick Star
Tap Visibility of Indicator Icons
Select the Battery Slider to disable it (as well as any others you want)

Not sure what to say here... I followed my instructions and was able to position it just fine.
One thing I can say is if you message the Dev, he's very responsive (he's even here on XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/m/jagan2.1884109/)) so you can message him and see if there is something he can help with.
I'll keep poking around and see if there was anything else I can think of that I did. I'll uninstall and reinstall to see if that can replicate what you are seeing and what I did to fix it.
Found the issue, my screen resolution is set to FHD+ and not WQHD+
If I change it to WQHD+ it's fine. I'll inform the dev.
Cheers.

Does anyone know how to disable Omatefaces so that when I use Oclock the lockscreen doesn't show the Omatefaces? If I set lockscreen clockface with Oclock you still see the Omatefaces one. Looks a bit stupid seeing one clock face then a second one straight after.
Disable the lockscreen in system settings. Then you will only get Kurt Watchfaces.

well ive deleted Omatefaces, and am using Kurts app, but i still get double lockscreen. The Omatefaces is on first screen then it changes to the one selected in Kurts app. How annoying.

Disable swipe to unlock as Loki suggested. You then only see Kurts watch faces.

On a related note, will the o'clock watchfaces ever get a 12 hour format for most of the watchfaces? Also have functional notification elements instead of static pictures? This as reaally a half ass job here.

Agreed.
Hi is it possible to set the following background on the clockface - maybe using the method similar to the one described above?

I only want to see it whenever I turn on the omate. This is my weekly schedule. Would be nice if all clock & date & call log icons, and other stuff was on the top white line. But for beginning It's not critical. I just want to see my weekly schedule even if it gets obscured by clock arrows or anything else.
I have omate 8GB/1GB in Europe 2100. I have just flashed it with firmware TEST_RELEASE_Omate_2100_TrueSmart_20140314.zip

It's part of the framework, so deleting the app won't do anything.

Can someone explain me where I can find the setting to disable the lockscreen/Slide to onluck? Can't seem to find it. I can only find the option where can choose between a few different analog and digital clock designs to put on the lockscreen.
Edit: Found it, so for future google searches:
Settings -> Personal & Accounts -> Security -> Screen lock = None

I changed Slide to None but still seeing the default clock face before the Oclock face.
I have the 1/8 2100 version with OUI 2.1.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

My GS5 keeps waking up in my pocket...I'm assuming that it is because the home button is being pressed. Is there a ROM out there that has pocket detection so that it won't wake up if it's in your pocket?

I currently have alliance rom v2 installed.
This is located under settings, custom settings, lock screen mods.
Also, I believe wanam x posed can do it, I'm not sure though.
Get this from Google Play.

Thanks...just installed...so far, so good!
So I installed that ROM, and Faux123's kernel, and it appears to be working great. I wish there was true pocket detection so I didn't have to disable the home button wake, but this will work for now.
Some lock screen apps e.g. Dynamic notifications pro can be configured to do what you want. They monitor the proximity sensor to know when you pull the phone out of your pocket.

The problem with that tho is it polls the sensor, which drains battery. The air wake feature of our device checks the orientation of the device. I would like to change it so it works on all orientations so when removed from pocket it would wake. That would be the perfect setup.

You quoted multiple people who had disparate solutions. Speaking only for myself, I was talking about a lock screen app, not a ROM. And it can be configured to do what you are wishing for. Block accidental use of the home button when locked. Realize when it is pulled from a pocket and wake up.
And it satisfies your newly expressed requirement as well; namely that it is not harsh on battery life. If you search my post history, I even quantified the battery use for that app.

Its still using more battery then the system framework can. Therefore its harsh on the battery for people who wish to get 18+ hours on battery. I make apps. I know how to read proximity sensor values. and you need to keep the device awake in order to do it. Maybe using root it would be different.
Anyhow, i was nowhere bashing any app. I was simply stating that instead of replacing your entire lockscreen, you could hack into the already existing code and make it ignore the orientation of the device to achieve what the OP is after.
Nothing you said refutes my comments or their conclusion. So we'll just have to disagree on the subject.
I have a EE edge and it has no option for alphabetical apps that I can find, it is not in the usual place in the top right does anyone one know an app that can replace this or a way other than changing launcher that this can be achieved please?
Also the alarm clock is terrible as I can't seem to change how many time it allows me to snooze or for how long it will snooze for. My old note 4 would allow 10 snoozes and I could change the interval. Am I being blind or has this been removed? If its removed can someone recommend a decent alternative?
Overall love the phone just irritated by these two stupid omissions which have been standard on every android phone I have had for the last few years
Same here, awesome phone but the app draw thing is mental. Hopefully Samsung fix it. Years back the first versions of touch wiz were also lacking this option, then there was an app which did it for you. I can't remember what it was called, and I've searched and can't find anything. Anyone? I don't want to swap launcher before anyone suggests doing that.

Samsung took their Apple emulation a bit too far now. No way to alphabetize app drawer and if you go in applications you will find settings for stock apps just like with the iPhone. It's like they care more about people jumping ship from the iPhone than they do about loyal customers.
I also can't find a way to hide files in the gallery so if you have a lot of music installed it automatically puts the album art in which is very cluttered. All of these issues are not present on the note 4 running lollipop so would be very interested to hear Samsung's reasons for these annoyances.
Although individually they are all small added together the are really starting to annoy me and may make me consider my purchase which is a shame as the hardware feels amazing and the music is superb. I just hope it is a case of time to sort these things out.
I second the snooze problem and the alphabetical sort issue as well...
i had a software update...but that didn't help in sorting this issue....

Hi XDA,
I have created Analog Watch Face for Wear OS and made it open-sourced.
PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vlad1m1r.watchface

As the name suggests, I was not planning to add digital clock . I wanted to make this watch face as simple and lightweight as possible.
If I have time I will create another digital watch face.
But I will for sure add option to hide specific complications in ambient mode. Because I also want to have a date in ambient mode .

I hear ya, I personally just like digital for ambient and analog for the normal but there isn't many watch faces that I've found with that option
I like nice clean watch faces, black background.....
I really like that watch face is open source. :good:
H1 Vlad, I applaud you for your awesome watchface. Personally I am having massive problems implementing complications in my android watch.
You dont possibly have a guide or tutorial to help a lost soul out?

Sorry for a late replay. This watch face was created for this Pluralsight course.
It's behind the paywall, but you can get 10 days for free, and watch just this course. It explains step by step how to create a watch face.
Also, check codebase on GitHub, and feel free to open an issue there, if you have problems understanding some parts.
Thx man, love it

NOTE: The App is tested on Samsung Galaxy S9 so far, for the looks. If you have a Galaxy S10/e/+, please post some pictures as a feedback. Thanks!
Greetings! I made this special Curved Edition of Energy Bar for Galaxy S8/S9/+. Look forward to hear community feedback on this.

Many of you who have a Windows Mobile past like me, might have instantly recognized the thin colorful line(s) in the above image. And for the new Android generation, introducing Energy Bar - a pulsating Battery indicator!
Energy Bar puts a thin line on top of your Status Bar whose length corresponds to your device's current Battery level.
Got a full charge? The line will cover the whole width of your screen.
Battery depleting? So will the length of Energy Bar.
After several iterations (thank you for the feedback, early testers), the App is now feature packed:
Energy Bar can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to cover the entire status bar
Energy Bar puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
Energy Bar's origin can be configured as left/center/right
Energy Bar can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
Energy Bar can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
Energy Bar could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient
You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
Energy Bar as a cool pulsating animation whenever a power source is plugged into your device
There is something about visual over numbers that keeps you and your device's battery level in sync with just a glance. You may find it intuitive/effective/stylish way to read the battery level, let me know what you think

Charging animation demo (style - bounce), thanks @sl33pyK!
*reserved*
Hey this is cool, I was considering making a similar app around the camera cutout... might be something you consider adding to this project! "Energy ring"..
Doesn't really translate onto the screenshot well tho:
Looks good. I did notice that the charging animation restarts when opening/closing the Energy Bar app. Did not appear to restart animations in other apps though.
It adds a corner to the top left of the screen that is visible in screenshots but doesn't appear anywhere else.
Screenshot attached for others to see.
