What's wrong with them is that I don't like them, hehe... You do understand different people have different tastes. I am glad your phone will survive all kinds of catastrophic events though.
[Nokia Lumia 920] gilesrm:
I would advise not using any screen protector on a Gorilla 2 glass, which is very resistant though not indestructible. Screen protectors use sticky chemicals that tend to alter colors if only slightly.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Localhorst86:
I myself have been using a variety of matte screen protectors. Not to protect the screen, but for it to be more readable. I prefer matte over glossy. So far no issues.
[Nokia Lumia 920] gilesrm:
Well, as Yogi Berra used to say, "If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It." One question though: does this screen protector affect screen readibility in full light, which, considering, is quite good for the 920 -provided the brightness setting is on "auto", sunlight readibility on "auto" too. The possibilty to adjust the color profile (temperature and saturation) is also a good feature on the 920.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Vangink:
Zagg going brown

Has anyone also noticed zagg discolour on area of high use(my right side used for scrolling). This is my second protector and same thing happened. It has not damaged the actual phone, I have been using for almost full year now. I have backup one ready to install, as I don't want to be without during warranty replacement waiting time.
[Nokia Lumia 920] vnvman:
In my experience it doesn't impair readability, but if your installation has orange peel effect the reflections will be a bit annoying.

Yep zaggs sawk. They become yellowish very quickly compared to other brands and normally have the most orange peel effect. They sure are the toughest but they also look the worse.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vansmuk:
Hey guys,

My girl's i8190 has it's home button all screwed up. Stays pressed most of the time or just randomly clicks itself, keeping the phone from any kind of sleep/stand by. I opened the thing but the button is "conveniently" located between the glass and the plating. Any known ways of replacing it? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzonat0r:
Ever heard of warranty?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecore:
maybe he doesn't have a warranty , before you do a crap go visit a samsung service , is better
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vansmuk:
appreciate the input, but if I was looking for alternatives I would've formed the question differently. back on topic?

[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Haha thanks ;) although feedback is always appreciated! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] y0himba:
Purchased. More people should, this is the bomb!
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Thank you!

Let me know if you have any issues.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Would love I'd you guys can tell me which in house overlays you'd like to see.

In house overlays are not widget dependent so it saves you the trouble to install additional applications.

Thanks!

Re: [APP][4.0+] Overlays v1.0.1- float your widgets ANYWHERE!

Have been using this app for a while but can't purchase until my credit card arrives. But i definitely will :D this app offers something unique as i haven't seen anything like it before. i Look forward to being able to put music widget on google navigation and whatever else you can imagine :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] AggieDev:
I didn't know this was possible O.o
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Thank you for such positive feedback! Feel free to suggest features you'd like to see :)

;)
[Android Apps and Games] vault1965:
I would have expected more comments on such a great app. Great stuff man, excellent idea and execution.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Thank you very much for such great feedback :)

I sure hope more people will think like you ;)
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Version 1.0.3 is up:

* New! Shortcuts overlay - use system shortcuts, just like in your launcher!

* Now you can choose when to show notification (start the service) - always, never or only when a profile is visible.

* Fixed crash on tablets without telephony support.

* Fixed weather location.

* Fixed Tasker dependency in "Run on boot". You can use tasker to toggle profiles even if the service is off.

* Long click to select overlay more responsive.

* More bug fixes and optimizations.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Hi people. Thanks again for your feedback.

I'm getting requests from several people that they would like the option to run multiple profiles at the same time (unlike now, when you can only run 1 profile).

I'd love some feedback about this from you - the more advanced and techy users.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mjs2011:
This looks incredible!
[Android Apps and Games] dragonfly1113:
I Do love this app. However seem to have problem with it on my nook color running cm10.1 when I try moving the overlay widget and pressing save every time I open the app it has the widget in the middle again. Other than pressing the little disk save icon after moving it is there anything else I need to do?
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
Are you moving the widget around while you have the 3rd party app open?

(as apposed to moving it around within the Overlay app itself)
[Android Apps and Games] dragonfly1113:
Tried it both ways to no eval. Assuming right way is with just overlays app open.
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
No...not imo.

It would be better to align your floating widget while you have the app underneath it opened.

Note...that you can set 2 separate positions for the floating widget....one in Portrait and one in Landscape mode.

Also, any chance that the app in question (the one that triggers the floating widget) has a custom DPI or some app that is controlling it?

Finally, I am assuming you are using the APP mode to trigger the widget rather than the PROFILE mode...correct? Make sure you don't have a duplicate profile or a 2nd profile or app profile that is confusing things here. In other words, disable all PROFILES and APP profiles, then create a new one with a new name to test what you are trying.

Super finally...Start over. Clear all app data for Overlays in case it has become corrupt. Good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Do you use your device in landscape orientation?

If so, it's a known issue that has been fixed and will be uploaded today.

Thanks ;)
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
That's not possible. You can create multiple profiles for the same application.

If you can, it's a bug.
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
I was just guessing... in case there could be multiple profiles for the same app, but though you can see it and click it in the list, you made it so you CAN'T actually activate the same profile twice....a toast message pops up to let the user know.

Well done!

Good programming.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Actually good programming is if I were to remove existing apps profiles from the apps list :) but We didn't do it because we thought to maybe change the whole list to a more clean one... without all the unlaunchable system packages but that means we need to change the whole logic from package to activity and that causes the profile to only appear on the main application activity... long story short - it's possible but require a huge change that we don't want to get into right now so we can have the time to add features and not ruin working ones ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dragonfly1113:
Yeah use in landscape, thanks for the info :) will be patiently awaiting the update.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Version 1.1 is up (on OP post):

* New languages – German and Hebrew. Contact us if you’re willing to translate to more languages.

* [Fixed] – Overlays weren't keeping their position on landscape oriented devices.

Overlays Pro:

* [NEW] – General profiles Blacklist – You can now block specific apps from floating a profile.

* [NEW] – Widget Shortcut overlay – Create shortcuts that opens widgets!

* Tutorials for both new features at http://applay.co

Regarding the blacklist - we are aware it doesn't play nice with Tasker if you create weird situations like blocking an application and then forcing the profile to show on the same blocked app with Tasker.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
LOL my bad. If you were quick on the download, your 1.1 version includes a weird sidebar if you swipe from left to right... It's a new feature we're working on..

Here's the new APK - Overlays 1.1 - View attachment 1962941

updated OP.

It's 3:00 am here... so... Sorry about that :\
[Android Apps and Games] Jubremelle:
Thanks bro.
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
Because we can!!!

That's the fun reason why we use this app.

Since the updated new features, I added 3 fat 160p sized buttons over my MAPS/NAV. PowerAmp/Rdio/Slacker. They are stacked and easy to push and see while driving. Each one pops up a big fat widget and all three widgets nicely use the same area space when they pop up. Quite fun and very dependably functional. Thanks Liory. Here are some screen shots...
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Hahaha love your excitement!

I'm glad you see the Widget Shortcut overlay as I see it ;)

Updated OP with version 1.1.0.1. SORRY!!! I had a rough night.

By the way, [MENTION=4708203]Dovidhalevi[/MENTION] you were right... We had a bug with the "Run on boot" option. Fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Census Taker:
This just keeps getting better and better; the black list feature is a really great addition too and because I couldn't work out how to set it up I looked at the manual.

This is very easy to use and I recommend you look through it as I learned about a couple of features I had missed and it is also an object lesson on how to write clear manuals too. (in my opinion anyway. :) )

Many thank!
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Thank you very much!

Glad my manuals are helping someone ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Census Taker:
Ah, the more good stuff you give us, the more we want Liorry!

I have two suggestions that may or may not be of interest.

1) Would you be able to add a grid to the Overlay settings background so that, when dragging widgets into place, it would be easier to get them to line up?

2) Would you be willing to add a hex colour box to the colour picker pages for the widget background? It would make it easier to get the backgrounds the same where there are two or more widgets on the same overlay and different background colours to default are desired.

Just a couple of minor enhancements which may be useful.

Thanks anyway for what you have given us so far!
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
The grid idea is something we planned from the start and lots of users asked for already so your request kicks it up in our ToDo list but I must admit, it's not in our top priority list right now.

The hex in color box is something we can do faster... We'll look into it.

Feel free to suggest as many ideas as you want... We always consider what the community wants!

Toggle Widget with GMD Gesture Control

The app is excellent. Impressive work.

I'm trying to set up a toggle gesture in GMD Gesture Control for my calendar widget overlay. I can't seem to find the appropriate shortcut or activity to which to link the gesture. The only thing I found is the Overlays activity shortcut to toggle the calendar profile on/off, but nothing to toggle the appearance of the widget. Is this supported or can it be implemented?

Thanks very much.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Thank you ;)

I'm not familiar with GMD but I'll look into it...

Basically, if it allows to create system shortcuts or widgets, you should be able to use it with Overlays, otherwise, it's not supported.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
OK, Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
If it's not too much trouble, may I ask you please to tell me how you set this up? Thanks very much.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
I couldn't find [MENTION=633461]rtan73[/MENTION] post so I couldn't figure out if this is what you meant, but if you want to know how to integrate Tasker with Overlays, see here http://www.applay.co/2013/04/15/how-to-integrate-with-tasker/

Other tutorials available on our website as well.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Here is the op. I am interested in integration with Elixir 2, specifically, I would like to use Tasker to directly open floating widgets.

Thanks very much.

Loving the app, btw.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything so clearly. I truly appreciate it.

EDIT: Followed your instructions and was able to make exactly what I wanted. Thanks again.

EDIT: I posted a question in the Tasker thread, and thought I would mention it in case anyone here knows the answer. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Am i missing something here? :) Why not use Overlays "Widget shortcut" overlay?

http://www.applay.co/2013/05/14/widget-shortcuts-overlays-pro-only/
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I'm sorry, but I don't understand how I could use a widget shortcut to accomplish this. I was hoping to keep the Elixir widgets visible even when I am switching among apps with navigation running in the background. Now, as soon as I tap the floating Pandora widget, for example, it, and the other one, disappear until navigation is running in the foreground again.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Oh OK :) Sorry, didn't get this.

Soon you'll be able to do so with Overlays as well with our new Sidebar feature. SOON :)
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Awesome.

BTW, you should get a donate button.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Thanks.

About the donate button, I think if someone wants to help development he can buy the Overlays Pro key.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
What if he already bought the pro key but wants to help even more?
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
That's very cool of him/her :)

I'll think about it... currently with the little time I have, I try to make Overlays better.

Thanks for the suggestion!
[Android Apps and Games] Census Taker:
+1
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
1.1.0.6 is up, updated OP.

* Bug fixes and optimizations.

* [NEW] - Export/Import option in settings (Experimental).
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I posted this over in the Tasker thread. Since it involves Overlays, I thought I'd mention it here.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Very cool setup! Thanks for sharing.

How did you get Screen cast to work so well? What device? Custom ROM?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Thank you. I have a Note II on CM10.1. I use the best quality settings in Screencast, and then use VidTrim to swap RGB (highest quality output settings), since the original vids always come out with the colors inverted.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
I placed shortcuts for direct dial over homeflip. They do not do anything.

Homeflip is a launcher overlay which gives a sidebar for launching apps. A tap anywhere else closes it. So either the shortcuts should work or tapping them would simply close the sidebar. Instead, nothing at all happened.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Yeah.. it require another permission we're not sure if we want to add... it works on some of the devices without it and on some it doesn't...

It should however take you to the dialer app with the phone number already there... I'll check it out. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ippon:
i've been in search of a floating dialer widget, but it doesn't look like such a thing exists.

can i use Overlays to make this happen?

tried to tinker around with it a bit, but man,,, i am lost!
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
If you find a normal non floating dialer widget, it should work with overlays no problem. Overlays will easily make it float. Not that difficult. Report back with specific details if you have specific issues.
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
OP updated with version 1.1.1. Nothing fancy... had to deal with some crashes and bugs. Next version will add lots of new features!
[Android Apps and Games] mDroidd:

Blacklist issues, profile naming bug and crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] mDroidd:
I'm sorry, I mean what new features.

Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.2 JB
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Oh LOL sorry..

Umm I can't promise everything we plan will be done but hopefully these main features:

1. Sidebar to control profiles from anywhere

2. Global profile icon - to make shortcuts cooler.

3. The most requested feature - hide profile on landscape orientation.

4. Support services - keep music player profile on even if it's on background. Still in research.

5. Duplicate profiles - only if we find the solution to a system limitation with programmatically generating widget id. Otherwise, won't be possible.
[Android Apps and Games] mDroidd:
Hide profile on landscape would be the most easy one. I guess you add the AppWidgetHostView to the WindowManager directly?

Create your own ViewGroup, with a custom onConfigurationChanged(Config config), and add your AppWidgetHostView to that.

onConfigurationChanged is called when the orientation has changed. If the setting is enabled, hide the profile.

Not that hard I guess, unless I misunderstood you...

If you need anything, PM me!

[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Lots of users ask me where can they get ideas on what people do with Overlays.

I'd like to start a wiki page so the community will be able to share their uses.

Do you think we should? would you contribute to such page?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I would.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Yes and yes.

This is a useful, creatively useful app so good to swap ideas.

the only app I can't seem to get this to work with is projectM. I'm trying to get the album cover to overlay over the visuals. I'm using widgets anywhere right now but I would rather use overlays!
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Can you link me to ProjectM? Couldn't find it on the Play store
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:

[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
OK, so you created an overlay for one of the Media Utilities widgets. How did you configure the overlay to be initiated? Shortcut? Tasker? What happens when you try to use the overlay?
[Android Apps and Games] mountainmystic1:
Really liking the app so far. Only request that I would have is, once the app you are using that has an "overlay" is exited, the "overlay" app is removed from the notification bar and exited as well. When I launch my app overlay launches. When I close my app, I would like overlay to close as well. Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
Go to Settings>General>Show Notification>Profile Visible.
[Android Apps and Games] mountainmystic1:
Worked perfect! Thanks for the quick response. Had two of my friends download yesterday. We are all loving it. Perfect for launching maps app and having a "power control" widget right there to turn on GPS, WIFI, and Bluetooth. I really like you can change location and transparency and in landscape can assign that location as well. Everything is really planned out. Great work!
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Thank you for the feedback! Glad you like it :)
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Is it possible to delete an overlay in the overlay editor? I am unable to do so. When I press the recycle bin icon on the overlay (in edit mode), it turns into a thumbs-up, but is still there. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] chromicant:
Has anyone tried using the Widgets for Torque (org.prowl.torquewidget) with this app? I can get the widgets to display in Waze...but they're not animated at all, not even numerical data updates.

Wondering if anyone else has tried and got it to work. No idea if it's Torque or Overlays or PEBKAC.

I posted in the GMD Gesture Control thread this demonstration of how Overlays can substitute for sidebars, and thought it might be of interest here. If anyone would like more complete information on how to create such overlays, I'd be happy to provide it.:)
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
Amazing!

We're actually already developed a Sidebar feature for Overlays... Coming this weekend :) But your guide to do it without us is very cool!

Doesn't this work on a unrooted device? [coz its not mentioned anywhere root is necessary for this app!

If root not required, then this app is not working on my Samsung galaxy s advance 4.1.2 unrooted :(
[Android Apps and Games] liorry:
It doesn't require root and I know for a fact it does work on Galaxy S Advance :)

So... let's see what we can do to make it work for you.

Try this scenario:

1. Open Overlays

2. In Globals tab, click the + icon above.

3. Name the profile and click "Add Overlays".

4. Long click and drag an item from the sidebar

5. Use the BACK button to close the add overlays screen.

6. Make sure all the toggles are on "ON" state.

7. BACK out of overlays app.

8. Do you see the added overlay?

Thanks,

Lior

Did you pay for it? If yes, you installed the KEY app which indeed doesn't appear in the drawer.

If no, try to reinstall the free app.
