This sounded like a great idea.

installed the pro version again and used root explorer to try and find the apk file with the aim of setting permissions.

expected to find the apk in mnt/system/app but cant find the file. what am I doing wrong.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] amfirbek92:
ok mate..seems that u dont have an idea about apk backup

i'll make it more easy for u..

go to ur root explorer and keep pressing the up button u'll see "data" folder go there and find the installed app by play store..move this apk to system folder there set permissions to rw-r-r then move the file to system/app

Working on my note. Sorry i know its the s3 forum... But is there a way to pick up phone calls while its ringing... Sorry if this has been answered
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
To answer calls: turn on Call Controls in Settings and when the phone is ringing two waves is set to answer.

I've got it on my to do list to make it customizable. But for now Call Controls are fixed to one and two waves.

It's will helpful if you make a video for a Pro version and place it on Google Play.

I'm sure, that way you would get more users who will buy your app.

I will be the first, if you I will able to see what I'm buying.;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:

It's even starring the SGSIII :D

I haven't had time to update the video for the free version yet. I'll be travelling and jet-lagged for the next couple days.

I was at Best Buy last night and told one of the cell phone salesmen about this because he was complaining about how hard it is to listen to music while driving. He bought the pro version right there in the store! Thanks for the great app!

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sohebq:

My proximity sensor is glowing red, seems abnormal to me, what are the long term effects of this?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sohebq:
it,s normal
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Working on it ;)

Yeah that's normal. A proximity sensor works by using an infrared LED and the light sensor. When it detects the infrared light being reflected it is triggered.

What you're seeing is the infrared LED. It seems the vendor of the sensor used in the SGSIII has their LED use some visible spectrum since you can't see infrared light. Others, like in the Note and G Nexus, don't (at least I don't remember seeing it when I had a Note).

Don't worry.. it's not getting hot or anything.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Stea1thmode:
Thanks for the detailed explanation, bought your app based on your feedback:-)

Edit :so the glow won't eat extra battery?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Thanks for the support!

Having the LED active does use energy but it doesn't seem to be too much. For me Wave Control uses less than the music player.

That being said, I'd exit the app if you don't plan to use its functions for awhile instead of just disabling the controls.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
V2.1 Coming

Alrighty, the Launch Any Installed App feature is just about done. Just gotta test it a bit more and look it over again. Shooting to release it tomorrow.

Also adding Home action. It only works when the app is in the foreground which is a bummer. If anyone knows how to do it from the background, let me know!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
And, V2.11 is uploaded

It should show up in the Play Store in the next 30 minutes or so.

Let me know what you think... and if I broke anything :p
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] IroniX2:
I have used this app in the caffè i work at, and I love to see the amazed costumes staring at my phone, I do quite a bit of promotion for you there ;-)

Thanks a lot for the app, really fancy and useful. I really hope you get a patent for this, or at least get a stamp of a page with the design from your local post office, I can see this being implemented by Samsung / HTC in the near future
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] cezeff:
i bought your app 1) great dev. support 2.) the infrared usage is very low compared to similar apps. is there any chance to tweak the power requirements for the sensor so that it uses the least amount fo energy at the same time retaining full functionality? or have you beat me to this thought process?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Thanks, I really appreciate it!

There's not much I can adjust with respect to the sensor. I've tried tweaking what I can to get the best performance across the most phones. I do try to keep the app as light weight as possible. Glad you like it :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] egyptshun:
Mark, your app is being pirated...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Yeah, that's one of the downsides of Android. I had looked into using Google's Licensing API but there were some issues with rooted phones so I didn't want to use it. I'll take another look at it to see if it's viable now.

I understand people wanting to try it out before buying.. but Google's 15-minute refund policy allows this pretty easily. And well, the others that are too cheap to pay for something useful... I'm trying to make a living at this.. and.. food's not free.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] winbytrick:
Hi Mark! I bough your app right after read this thread, and the updated version is awesome. Yet I'm facing a little trouble: all the time I close the app and re-open it; it seems all my setting for wave functions back to default (1 wave next, 2 waves previous..) any idea to make it remembered my setting? Great thanks in ad
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Thanks for the support!

Are you exiting the app by pressing back? That's when it stores the settings. If you kill it through task manager or applications then it won't get a chance to store the preference. I'll probably move that in the next update.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] yassero:
great idea...thx for the effort...I wave once to mute ring but it doesn't do anything....I have Call Controls set to ON in settings.....also is there a way I can disable music control ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] winbytrick:
thanks Mark for your quick response. Yes, i use tasker to kill it as my profile. Will sit back and wait for your next release. Great day mate
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] teh-maz0r:
Loving the app at the moment, useful when im reading a book and want to skip a track or two
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Hmm, that's strange. I assume you're on a SGSIII right? Do you have "Turn over to mute/pause" turned on in the Motion section of settings? That might interfere.. I should probably test that..

Be careful with using Tasker to kill apps. My app along with others have essentially a shutdown routine. This is most applicable to apps that use wake locks. If you have Wake Lock enabled under Settings (which I don't think is necessary for the SGSIII) then it won't get released unless you exit the app using the back button. Android doesn't seem to be smart enough to release them automatically when an app gets killed. This will prevent your phone from reaching Deep Sleep and will use up the battery faster when the phone is idle.

After playing with it a little bit, on the SGSIII without the Wake Lock option enabled the first wave seems to wake up the cpu but not register as a wave, interesting..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] yassero:
I'm on SGSIII. It worked now after I turned off "Turn over to mute/pause" in the Motion settings. I set Wake Lock to disabled but I do not understand your input on this point.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Gunde:
I'm also on the SGSIII and Screen Off is not working for me.

It registers the gesture just fine and says "Last action: Screen off" but the screen stays on. Screen On and all other functions work fine.....
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
At least for me, with Wake Lock turned off, the first wave gets ignored and so to do a one wave gesture I have to do two. I think the first wave wakes up the cpu and then the next waves get registered like normal. With Wake Lock on, the first wave gets registered like normal.

Do you have any other apps running that would prevent you screen from timing out or locking?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] yassero:
This apps let me pay a lot cause it hangs up calls based on sensing a couple of motions while my phone is in pocket or in my hand while using bluetooth. I redialed 10's of calls so far.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] boarder.2k9:
I'm on the Galaxy SI and it works a charm. Galaxy sIII comes day after tomorrow, gonna be the first app to go on!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
I recommend turing off the app before putting your phone in your pocket. Or, use Pocket Mode so if the screen is off, nothing will be triggered.

I'm thinking about an automatic Pocket Mode but not sure how it'll work in combination with the Hover gesture.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] livanov:
I wish there was Exit App on Bluetooth disconnect :) Then my car mode will be perfect :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
I'll look into how to implement it. I think it should be easy enough.

V2.18 released to the Play Store

I just put up a new version V2.18

Changes:

1. Option to choose which app to control for media controls -> Works great on video apps too like MX Player

2. Auto Launch Media App - launches chosen media app when Wave Control is started

3. Fast Forward, Rewind (works better with MX Player for video vs Samsung's Video Player)

4. Bug Fix for how the app exits

Hopefully this will resolve the issues with the wrong app responding to the controls.

Let me know what you guys think!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sohebq:
it automatically close in the background, any solution for that?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Make sure that the Status Bar Icon is On. This will run the app at the highest priority so that the system won't kill it except for extreme cases.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sohebq:
i wish there is a way to rwmove status bar icon and app still runs in background, another strange thing i found is that even if i am.not running the app , it will still show battery drain or usage in battery stats
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
I agree but it looks like this is the only way to prevent the system from killing the app currently. If anyone else knows a way, please let me know.

About the battery drain, in the latest version I fixed a bug where if the app was killed and not exited with the back button it didn't turn everything off. It *should* be fixed now. Let me know if it's still happening in V2.18 or later.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sohebq:
i am on 2.18 and the battery bug is there, the app has great potential and i hope it will keep on improving
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Are you using the free version or Pro?

I think I found what might cause an issue in the free version. I'll be putting out V2.19 pretty soon.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sohebq:
i always use pro
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Doh. Ok, I'll keep looking.

How do you exit the app? With the back button, task manager, tasker, or something else?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sohebq:
i never exit app normally, i just press the home button so it can run in background,, i feel that back button shouldn,t close the app
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
I mean when you want to stop using the app, how do you exit?

If it's sitting in the background all the time, it will use some battery since the sensor is active and if you have the wake lock turned on, the wake lock will prevent deep sleep.

For it to fully stop, it needs to be exited through the task manager app list or with the back button.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sohebq:
yes, i exit through task manager, and sometimes through back button when i am.in the app
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Ah ok, I'll dig through again and make sure I'm closing everything down internally.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] yassero:
true but when a call comes in, the screen gets on automatically then sensing 2 waves while in my pocket or on my ear is something beyond my control
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Ah, yeah I didn't think of that. I'll make it so Pocket Mode and Call Controls can't both be enabled.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] short/y:
Would it be possible to add phone mute/unmute? I'm not talking about the ringer, I mean the phone's microphone.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Yeah pretty sure I can. I think once I get the profiles feature in place I can make the in-call actions assignable and have mute/unmute as one of them.

Been a little under the weather so development is a bit behind where I want it to be.. but stay tuned.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] short/y:
That would help me a lot. I've got a finicky mic on my headset and I need to use the mute feature on the phone when I'm not talking.

Take care of yourself first so you can keep cranking out updates :)

V2.25 - Profiles!

I finally got past some major procrastination and added in profiles.

You can have up to 4 profiles.

Each profile contains all the settings and the commands you assigned to each gesture.

How I'm using it:

Profile 1:

Target Media App: Music Player

Screen Off only mode

Hover: Play/Pause

1 - Wave: Next

2 - Wave: Screen On/Off Toggle

3 - Wave: Enable/Disable​

Profile 2:

Target Media App: MX Player

Screen On Only Mode

Hover: Play/Pause

1 - Wave: Fast Forward

2 - Wave: Rewind

3 - Wave: None​

Let me know what you guys think!

What's Next:

Gonna spend some time on getting the tablet version ready for beta. Then, work on Tasker control of the Profiles. Then... widgets.

Tasker Tasker Tasker

V2.30 Has just been posted to the Play Store

With it brings support for Tasker by way of a Tasker Plugin.

From Tasker, you can now switch profiles. And Profiles allow you to set all settings and gesture assignments, so now Tasker can pretty much fully setup Wave Control.

Find "Wave Control Plugin" in Tasker's "Plugin" section for actions.

Note: Pro or Assignable Actions Upgrade is required for access to profiles and thus this feature.

October Experiment

Been taking a break from development... though not really by choice.

From my dev blog:

I just got home after a 10 day stay in the hospital for an unexpected (but luckily) minor surgery. Medicine and disease have unsurprisingly been on my mind.

I want to contribute to fields that really help people. But, I’m no doctor or medical researcher. I’m an app developer making apps that I hope people find useful but are hardly life changing. So, how to reconcile these things?

To fill the days during my hospital stay, I began to read Walter Isaacson’s excellent Ben Franklin Biography. (Recommended from here) In it, I was inspired by Franklin’s effort to tie private enterprise with the public good. Creating a win/win situation where both benefited.

And so, the idea was born to give away half of the proceeds from my app sales. This month being Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a perfect time to start. For the month of October, 50% of my earnings from the sales of my apps (including in app purchases) will be donated to breast cancer research.

I hope this will start a trend and other developers will do similar offers.

This is an experiment for this month. If it proves successful and I can still afford to eat, then next month can feature a different cause to support.

I’m excited to finally be able to give back more and make app development have a meaningful impact. This truly gives me real motivation to keep innovating and working hard.

Ideas and comments are most welcome,

Mark​

Can you guys help me spread the word about this? Maybe we can change the economics of app development and charity.

This app is great, purchased the Pro version some time ago now. I've had no problems with it up until yesterday. Just updated to the new UK Jellybean Firmware, DLJ4. I'm now having problems even starting the app. soon as i activate it, it sits on the main app screen, then when i go to settings, the app simply exits after a 5 second delay. sometimes im met with an unexpected error occurred box, sometimes not.

Ive tried rebooting, re-installing and still no luck! I should mention also anytime i do update my phone, i wipe the entire thing that way i know im starting fresh, and minimizing any app problems. My phone is also rooted via cf-root, and has always been rooted via this method. Curious if anybody is having the same problems with this firmware!?

If there's anything that could be done, that would be appreciated. I have no desire to abandon this app, its simply the best! Thanks for your work, and hopefully you can shed some light on this lil problem
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MarksThinkTank:
Thanks man, I've been meaning to revisit this.

Damn that sucks. I haven't switched over to JB yet. Waiting for the official update to hit since I want to keep my dev phone stock.

The only issue so far with JB that I've been told is with the Play Store app crashing when browsing to Wave Control. Which is bizzarre and seemingly out of my control.

Does it Force Close? Can you send in a crash report and leave a message to identify yourself if it does?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] wasubi:
I havent experienced that play store crash yet. But i thought id give it another shot, cleared the app data and tried again to set setting in the menu (for default music player to launch when wave control launched) and what do you know, its now working! Must be something within jellybean causing it. It didnt force close on me as such, just the quick dialog box flashes up for a nano second then app closes! If it does play up again, ill be sure to send the crash report through :o
