Thank you but that would clear ALL notifications before I read them: if I had 3 notification pending and after selecting the first from NiLS and reading it, I read the second opening directly the app (instead of going through NiLS) but after that I don't read the third, then this last one would be ignored because I would lost trace of its presence (NiLS already has cleared them because of the setting you are suggesting).

What I am asking is if NiLS keep tracks of every single notification it put on the screen and clear them when the corresponding item is read in the original app, or otherwise clear the notification only when the message is read by clicking on it from NiLS.
[Android Apps and Games] Reatret:
Yes I see what you mean. Maybe he'll include it in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
There are two future features that should solves this:

1. "Clear all notifications from the same app" - will clear all notifications from the same app if one was opened. (will be included in the next version)

2. "Clear notifications when app is launched" - will monitor running apps and detect which app was opened and clear all notification from it. this will be implemented in the future, probably as a separated app (addon to NiLS), probably paid.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
That's too unique and Whatsapp specific feature - NiLS doesn't have information from the apps other than the notification itself - and the notification only have title and body - I can't know if it's a contact name or multiple contacts.
[Android Apps and Games] deltabi:
Thanks, Royman.

The first one should be a fair compromise. Just a question: when you say "if one was opened" do you mean from the NiLS notification list or from the standard homescreen?

Thank you.

PS: When do you plan to distribute the "next" version?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
will be included on v1.0.7 (next version)
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
from NiLS widget.

I really don't know, I also have a day job and many other time wasters. I hope within few weeks. (I want this feature too...(: )
[Android Apps and Games] deltabi:
Ok, I'll wait the update.

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
It's your lucky day - v1.0.7 is now available for alpha testers on Google Play - it contains the following features:

- Fixed bug preventing adding the widget when no clock app was found. (stuck on loading circle)

- Added new ability to sort notification by acceding time.

- Added new ability to clear all notifications from the same app together when one is opened.

To try out the alpha version join alpha testers group on Google Plus and wait for an update from Google Play

[Android Apps and Games] apophis9283:
Im there Lol
[Android Apps and Games] WibblyW:
Is the 'flickering notification' supposed to be addressed in 1.0.7? (not sure if this counts as a new feature or bug fix)
[Android Apps and Games] Px80:
May you add a option to show a persistent widget as well? I've got airdroid in mind :)
[Android Apps and Games] dcucko:
nice app. thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Reatret:
I'm going to stop following this thread because now there's a community page :) its been fun, bye. :D
[Android Apps and Games] panther788:
Is there a chance to have it display battery percentage and next alarm time?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
It's a bug and it wasn't fixed yet.

You can have it now with persistent notifications feature - just download "Battery" app from google play and enable it on persistent notifications settings.

Next alarm time appears near the date on below the clock.
[Android Apps and Games] Havespop:
I see you put a lot of time working on this, thanks for this beautiful app.
[Android Apps and Games] WibblyW:
Ok. Thanks. Will wait until you get to it. Great work so far :)
[Android Apps and Games] megosu:
Hi,

Any info about this issue?

Is it only me?

Thanks.

running 4.2.2 and whatever I do, the widget is always showing the home layout on the lockscreen.

FYI, I use a pattern lock.

Also the bottom of the clock is cut off when in medium size, I have to keep it in small size to avoid this issue but then it is very small indeed...
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
on 4.2.2 when the widget is placed on the lock screen - the widget has two states - LS Collapsed and LS Expanded.

LS Collapsed is the appearance of the widget when the widget is collapsed (when you turn on the screen)

LS Expanded is the appearance of the widget when the widget is expanded (when you swipe the widget down)

The widget will never Home layout on the lock screen, unless you are using a customized rom that did something very unusual.

If you want to confirm that your lock screen is reporting the states correctly - you can install DashClock widget and see how it changes layout when you expand or collapse the widget.
[Android Apps and Games] cedriccc:
why is it off the play ground? Dev link also seems to be down:(
[Android Apps and Games] megosu:
I have found why, I have an option in my rom to allow all widgets on lock screen, once removed it works.

I still have the issue with the clock being cut at the bottom when set to large.
[Android Apps and Games] dzel:
i love the minimal clock / date look and it actually follow my system custom font and all..but

is it normal for nils lockscreen to take so much ram?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
It doesn't really take so much ram.

On Android the system free ram only when it need it. So if you had a long list of unread notifications that took 15mb on ram and you cleared it. The ram won't be free until another app will need that space.

I can make the service to be disposed right after it used, and this will free the ram immediately, but this will make the app a little slower because it will need to create the service and dispose it every time.

I would be happy if someone here will be able to provide some tips how to reduce ram used by an app.
[Android Apps and Games] kkapoorr:
This app has been a real help in the past few days.

Good thing too is that the dev provides alpha versions for testers!

[Android Apps and Games] panther788:
Can you add the ability to swipe to dismiss the notification
[Android Apps and Games] new ion?:
That won't work based upon the current OS limitations. You cant swipe a regular widget right?
[Android Apps and Games] panther788:
Hmm, i suppose that's right. Is there no way to have an invisible slider on there somewhere?
[Android Apps and Games] new ion?:
Again, its basically OS limitation. If you maximize your lock screen widgets, you will just swipe between then pages trying to swipe something away.

Imo- this is one thing that iOS did right.
[Android Apps and Games] panther788:
I am using widget locker and have found that it only goes to next screen when you start on the background, meaning it would be fairly difficult to accidentally swipe between pages
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Samsung S4 Talkback issue - A solution was found!

It's a dirty hack, but it works.

1. Install 3rd party TTS Engine, like "Classic Text-to-Speech", but DO NOT install any language pack after installing the app.

2. Go to Android Settings -> Device Settings -> Language and input -> Text to speech output.

3. Choose the new installed engine as your default text-to-speech engine. make sure it has no language installed by clicking on "Listen to an exapmle" and hear nothing.

That's it - your device will stop speaking to you.

Unfortunately this will silent Google Navigation and any app using TTS too...
[Android Apps and Games] pathologo:
I had a good laugh. :laugh:

Thanks for this great app!

As far as I can see there are actually only 2 apps that are able to provide a decent widget for the JB lock screen.

This one, NiLS, and DashClock.

I tried the alternatives, like Notification Browser and Lock Screen Notifications, and I must say they are all very very sub-par in comparison. They even don't support persistent notifications, so they are totally useless.

Maybe I will also try Missed It!, but its play store rating is quite low and the screenshots look ridiculous.

DashClock seems to be the one to recommend at first but you need extensions for all sorts of stuff, so it looks more like bloatware to me.

NiLS gave me a good experience right for the start. Thank you, Roymam.

More feedback to come...
[Android Apps and Games] WibblyW:
Will NiLS require to be changed to support Hangouts vs Talk?
[Android Apps and Games] new ion?:
Lol... Uh... Well then. Looks like widget locker did something better than 4.2...
[Android Apps and Games] pathologo:
More feedback...as promised.

The real bad app performance spoiled the experience for me, with the screen being on showing the lock screen.

I guess it is caused by constant screen redraws. But this is an absolute no-go.

Also the constant flickering while only one notification is shown is makes the tools unusable.

With 15 or more notifications the system will crash because of the CPU being eaten away.

The performance is that bad, that sometimes you cannot move the unlock slider.

I tried the various options, but nothing helps.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
All of the performance issues that was caused by v1.0 were fixed on v1.0.5.1.

Now the app run extremely smoothly.

If you have any performance issues it probably a local issue with your device. Please contact me on email and I'll do my best to solve this.

[Android Apps and Games] pemati:
Not sure if it is bug but when I set alarm it's not showing unless I enter app, same when I clear alarm it's still showing on lockscreen. Sorry if that was reported already.
[Android Apps and Games] Largamelion:
This app works perfectly fine for me, the only thing I miss is the ability to clear the Android notifications from the lockscreen (not the ones created by NiLS but the ones in the status bar). Unfortunately this isn't supported in the current version of Android :(.

It is however the number two app when it comes to battery consumption (screen is number one). I guess there 's still room for improvement here.

Great work.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
The battery consumption is probably caused by the proximity sensor, please try disabling it from General Settings of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Largamelion:
Done... will keep an eye on it.
[Android Apps and Games] panther788:
Are you able to make the turn on when receiving a notification, and if the proximity sensor is covered it just turns off again. So in over words if it is sitting on a desk infront of you the screen turns on but if its in your pocket, it stays off.

This may be able to reduce battery usage if you want the screen to turn on when receiving a notification
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
There is no way to get info from proximity sensor immediately. It only reports when changed state (covered/uncovered)
[Android Apps and Games] kramlin:
Widget maximised and minimise lockscreen challenge

Is there any way to have the widget maximised and the pin/pattern challenge minimised, when you wake the phone, without rooting or using custom ROMs?

I'm using a nexus 4 with jellybean.
[Android Apps and Games] zazazi:
Roymam...you are genius...I'm an iPhone person who has just switched to GS4...the ONLY application I missed and was very important to me was the screen lock notification and you did it...This really has maximized my pleasure with this small beast....

The application works very well except for two things that perhaps I missed...the first one is that when I click on any notification, it just zooms in everything on the screen, dims it and shows the white bordered rectangle clickable area....

The other thing is that I can see only two notifications when you wake the phone have to drag down the notification area to see the rest of the notifications...the application is on LS expanded mode.

Please accept my apology if you have answered those questions before and I tried to look for an answer on this very long thread without success.

My very best regards and good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] zotac1907:
1. You have to unlock the phone after this, then the app opens.

2. That depends on the rom you use. That's not about NiLs.
[Android Apps and Games] Largamelion:
Disabling the proximity sensor makes a huge difference for battery consumption on my phone (Desire HD with Android 4.2.2)! Maybe it should be disabled by default and noted with a warning that it consumes more power when enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] WibblyW:
This remains the the key show-stopper for me now. Other bugs/outstanding feature requests I can live with. I know it's been reported as a bug that will be looked at, so here's a +1 to it being near the top of the list for resolution now :)
[Android Apps and Games] thahim:
not working

It worked cant figure out what's new.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
v1.0.8 is available for alpha testers

What's new?

- Fixed notification flickering bug.

- Improved icon size for large notification style.

- Notification icon background now have the transparency of the notification background.

If you want to register as an alpha tester to get this version you need to :

1. Join this community on Google+ : https://plus.google.com/u/1/communities/115156552435983276604

2. Enable yourself as tester here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.roymam.android.notificationswidget
[Android Apps and Games] WibblyW:
Is there a combination of settings that will show all the individual email notifications from, say, Gmail but will suppress the "x messages" type of notifications?

If not, can there be a general or application-specific option to look for specific text in a notification and ignore the notification if there's a match - so a kind of textual filter feature? Would that work to achieve the above?
[Android Apps and Games] mifasol:
Would it be possible to add a feature to disable NiLS for a certain timeframe ? Like every day from XXh till XXh

I'm using it with Widget Locker and the screen turns on if a notification is received. That is great :)

but not at nights when the screen on wakes me up :).

Off course in most apps it is possible to disable the notifications but it would be nice if I can manage it through NiLs.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Please contact on email or open a feature requests for that. it's really hard to follow feature requests on this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] Largamelion:
Why don't you just put the phone face down? That 's what I do when I go to bed.
[Android Apps and Games] mifasol:

I have a bug/UI failure on my nexus4 jb4.3 -

With the 'normal' notifications (everything enabled) max 1 row from the message in the collapsed overview the GMail notifications show the icon of the sender, and 1/4 the icon of the app sending the notification (in this case the gmail).. looks really ugly

Just wanted to let you know.

I really love the app so far

Is it also possible to just disable all the custom icon stuff and only show the icon of the app generating the notification?
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
please open an issue with a screenshot, I can't understand what is wrong with the icons...

It contains small but great feature - automatically clear app notifications when it launched (even if not through the widget)

Join the Google+ community - NiLS alpha testers to try it out .
[Android Apps and Games] zellleonhart:
The latest beta is cool, love the new feature that clears notification when the respective app is opened. Saves time from clearing it!
[Android Apps and Games] eChinz:
wow thanks for this ...
[Android Apps and Games] ruffage:
As reported already, the clock is being chopped off on the S4. I think this may be related to Nova Launcher managing the widgets.

Example here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h3qhbbfe7ah87na/2013-06-11 16.44.36.png

Notice how the 6 is slightly missing.

Perhaps you could add new or larger clocks for the S4's high res screen too? Thanks.

So the latest alpha forecloses on me. How do I reinstall the previous version without uninstalling this one and losing all my settings? Play store says I already have the app installed.
[Android Apps and Games] Roymam:
Are you talking about the alpha from Google play or the alpha from the link in g+? If its the alpha from the link, you can disable the new feature in advanced settings that should fix the crash.

If you still have issues , please contact on email for faster responses.

I love this with my Samsung S4 with Widget Locker as my default Lockscreen! (I don't have any problems with voice feedback also)

But I do notice that when I dismiss notifications in NILS they don't dismiss from Notifications or from the respective apps... How do I tie the 3 together? I want to dismiss email right from NILS in Widget Locker instead of having to still dismiss only from app or Notification pull down....

Please help.
[Android Apps and Games] new ion?:
Not possible within android. We all want it, but there is no API for it.
[Android Apps and Games] thejulianath20:
With DashClock you can dismiss from inside their widget.

Hi Guys, Greetings from Netherlands!

Saw that people respond very quickly here regarding some questions on the NILS app, so thought lets register, why not.

Perhaps this is asked a million times, but I just got the app and searching for a solution on the net is pretty difficult with this problem.

Please check the screenshot: tinypic.com /view. php?pic=2prbfa9&s=5

(I had to break the link coz this is my first post as forum does not allow me to post foreign links)

You probably can't speak Dutch, but that's also not relevant in this case :)

Point is, I see messages double and sometimes even triple. Anyway of making the notifications more clear?

(for example, message of Esther can be seen 3 times and the one of Lisanne twice.

If you guys could help me out here, would really appreciate it:)

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Steve
[Android Apps and Games] thejulianath20:
Couldn't you just make the X act like it has read the notification? That way it will have dismissed the notification in all places.... There has to be a way to tie these altogether....

Also here is what DashClock is making to work with dismissing by swiping:

[Android Apps and Games] fd501:
First of all, amazing app - by far my absolute favorite app on my phone.

I am not sure if this is a feature, or a bug. When the screen is in "Collapsed" mode, when a notification comes in, the heading displays the apps name (disregards the preference in the appearance section), and displays the name and info underneath it. An example would be:

Messaging

Joe: Hey, whats up?

Whereas when the mode is in expanded mode, the notification would look like:

Joe

Hey, whats up?

I can get a screenshot if that would help. Is there any way to make the collapsed notification work similar to the expanded one? The reason I ask, is because I like to have each text message come in as a different notification (rather than expanded having all messages, which collapsed mode does), but having the persons name cuts off the message preview by a little bit.

I hope I explained this well enough for you to understand, thank you so much for the app, its amazing!

EDIT: Here are screenshots (will have to take out the space between h and ttp, under 10 posts)

[Android Apps and Games] Largamelion:
Did you disable the proximity sensor in NiLS ' settings? That 's what caused a huge battery drain on my phone. After disabling it, the issue was gone. Imo it should be disabled by default and warn you for battery drain when you enable it.
