Not really, it's based on the proximity sensor so if you put it on your desk and turn it to the side it'll work. It'd just have to be face down before you flip it.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
That's what I said. It relies only on the proximity sensor.

It'd be great if it used the accelerometer/gyroscope too, so it'd light up if you flip it while resting on the desk with the screen upward. Like in Moto x.
[Android Apps and Games] XMEN1:
You can have this function be used simultaneously with the Gravity Screen Pro, but drains more battery. I've tested it and it is like moto X.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
I see.

But I wonder if this could be implemented in this app, at least make it optional for Snapdragon > 800 powered devices.

Any words, [MENTION=3685328]AChep[/MENTION] ?
[Android Apps and Games] AChep:
I have no idea how to use that core. I will do it, if somebody point me in an article / example of using that core.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
Well, I'm no programmer, but maybe the system is built so that those kind of activities are attributed to that core automatically?

It'd be really nice to have those sensors aiding the app. Imho, would make AC Display better than the own Motorola implementation.
[Android Apps and Games] AChep:
No. Unfortunately, I'm sure that using that core can be done only by custom kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Is it only me?

I upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.4.0 on my stock N5 and now the Active Mode works maybe 30% of the time (where is was 80%+ before), there is always a 2-5 second delay in turning on the screen and the unlock animation is so over the top I've disabled it based on that alone. The first time I saw it, I nearly banged my head on the wall wondering why my phone was doing that.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
Oh, I see.

But all this made me wonder... If the active mode leaves the proximity sensor on almost all the time, with virtually no impact on the battery, would the gyro/accelerometer (I don't know for certain) cause any excessive drain?
[Android Apps and Games] ericsignals:
Thanks for the new builds and keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] roofrider:
I feel the same; downloaded from github. Animation doesn't bother me, but feel active mode was better in the prev version...will report back after further testing.
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
My experience on my Nexus 5 with 2.4 was just the opposite. I would say active mode works at least 95%, no screen on delay, and unlock animation is unremarkable. Should add that battery drain is also minimal. I really can't find a thing that I don't like about this release.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Unlock animation is unremarkable in a dark room?
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
I can see your point in a dark room. It hasn't bothered me but I guess the white flash doesn't seem to serve much purpose. I still love this release compared to the previous.
[Android Apps and Games] roofrider:
Those experiencing Active Mode issues, are you guys on a custom kernel with dt2w n stuff?

Cuz i'm on one such kernel that uses alin23's dt2w patches (supposedly, it disables dt2w by relying on the proximity sensor--pocket mode). Wonder if that could be causing a conflict with AcDisplay.

Regardless, in my case Active Mode was more reliable in the previous version i should say. And with 2.4, whenever it does work, i do see a small screen on delay (2 sec maybe, not a biggie) which i dont remember noticing in 2.3.1.
[Android Apps and Games] schloss:
First of all it is a great app that made me forget about Widgetlocker in a heartbeat. It has unbeatable combination of functionality and aesthetics. But since last update I'm not that happy: there is to new additions with questionable aesthetics. And while unlock animation can be disabled, battery icon seems to stay with us forever. Please make it an option too.

And thanks A LOT for music controls.
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
The unlock delay is a bug in PAs immersive mode. And the animation is in line with Android L. There will however most likely be an option to disable it in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] ffejy462:
The option is already in the released update 2.4.1.
[Android Apps and Games] TheKingOfPain:
Updated from 2.4 (G+ version) to 2.4.1, i like the option to have an unlock animation. Everything's working like a charm, as always. Very good job.
[Android Apps and Games] ahmadsamhann:
uhm sometimes I have to unlock twice to unlock the phone. I've activated lock screen and active mode.

edit: still on v2.3.1
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
And what version are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] ahmadsamhann:
wow that was a fast reply ? anyway I've edited my post. I'm still on 2.3.1
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
Can you disable full-screen mode to see if it helps?
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Stock N5, unrooted. I notice that I still get the expanded desktop nag quite often too, even though I have it disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
I also have it disabled on my Nexus 5 and also still have this issue. Stock, 4.4.4 rooted
[Android Apps and Games] maniaryan:
sup gang!

love the app been following it for a while.

Just downloaded the 2.4.1 version running HD base of 4.3.

I'm having trouble getting the screen to wake up when a notification comes in or getting active display to work. I did a search through the thread but couldn't find anything. Any ideas?

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
Did you accidentally enable "only when charging"?
[Android Apps and Games] maniaryan:
unchecked! and i can access the AcDisplay lockscreen when i press the power /home button. It's just the screen waking up on notifications or the sensors picking up movement.

hmm...
[Android Apps and Games] partylikeaninjastar:
Do newer versions show a preview of the notification when received and turning the screen on?
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
No they don't
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
Since updating to 2.4.1 from 2.3.1, I've noticed active mode is inconsistent.

I take it out of my pocket, but the screen isnt being lit up.

Same settings as in 2.3.1
[Android Apps and Games] starkly_raving:
One of the most polished notification apps I've seen. Seamlessly integrated into any UI or theme. But of course it is, I'd expect nothing less from Achep. Been using your themes since the MDPI ICS theme. Good work man.
[Android Apps and Games] XMEN1:
Im back to 2.3.1 because in 2.4.1 has delay to wake up when i take from pocket...2 seconds +-...That does not happen in 2.3.1
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
Same here.
[Android Apps and Games] GatoL0c0:
I turned that off. The white background definitely fries my eyeballs. Lol

[Android Apps and Games] Dearborn1977:
My email notifications have been sporadically getting stuck in the notification bar since moving to 2.4. Back to 2.3.1 for now.

Edit: it's not just e-mail but pretty much anything. I'm on 2.4.2.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
So far this morning, I'm 5/5 for active mode working right on 2.4.2
[Android Apps and Games] maniaryan:
What's your set up? Android os?
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Stock Nexus 5 unrooted. Been using 2.4.2 from the Play Store for 3 hours and active mode has worked every time so far. Better than 2.3.1 was for me.
[Android Apps and Games] roofrider:
Yes. Active mode is clearly much more reliable in this version.

Thanks a ton AChep!
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
What settings do you have enabled? Are you using any other notification apps? What device and android version do you use?
[Android Apps and Games] Dearborn1977:
Sorry I should have included that before - I'm on an LG G2 (Vzw) running XDABEBB's latest 4.4.2 LG stock-based rom. I don't use any other notification apps, I don't use active mode (though it made no difference when I did) and all other settings are basically stock. I had notifcations from Gmail, Hangouts, and Instagram "get stuck," i.e., say I got an email from John Smith. The Gmail symbol and John Smith would just be stuck in the notification bar when the screen was on and phone was unlocked. Even if I went to a full screen app, when the notification bar returned the notification was still stuck. I have uninstalled AcDisplay for the time being and the problem has disappeared.
[Android Apps and Games] ffejy462:
That's odd. I'm using the same device and rom and haven't had any issues. AcDisplay has been working great from the last two betas, 2.4 public release, and the two updates since. I'm using active mode and lockscreen... Really the only issue I've had (it's extremely minor), is album art takes half second to update when you turn screen on, but I can live with that.
[Android Apps and Games] Dearborn1977:
Do you use Xposed? I always enable the Xposed module for AcDisplay. Wonder if that has anything to do with it?
[Android Apps and Games] ffejy462:
Yes, I do. AcDisplay is enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] ikursaev:
wake on shake

Artem, thank you for this great app.

I've noticed strange behavior: sometimes my phone wakes when I shake it. It happens when I listen music and acdisplay shows music controls. So phone wakes up in my sweaty pocket and starts living its own life. This problem is not permanent.

Is this behavior connected with acdisplay?

Also can acdisplay interfere with lux auto brightness?

V2.4.2
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
Everything fine in 2.4.2 :)

Just hope we can get motion wake someday, then it'll be perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] bunbury:
Hi,

A small but important question, how do we uninstall it ? I mean the "Uninstall" button in "Apps" is disabled.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] usaff22:
Uncheck the app's Device Administrator setting in Security Settings, and uninstall
[Android Apps and Games] gl_007:
Awesome app, would love the ability to use it as a lockscreen.

Would you consider adding this feature?
[Android Apps and Games] meyerweb:

[Android Apps and Games] temenalie:
really useful app, running well on my CM11 Galaxy Wonder. Thank you.

[Android Apps and Games] DomusX10:
I agree...I want to use like lockscreen...how?
[Android Apps and Games] dudeman1996:
Doesn't seem to be working on my galaxy nexus (maguro) running latest PA beta, app version 1.1.1. Everything's enabled, when I hit the test notification, the screen turns off and it appears to turn back on but nothing shows up on the screen. I have to hit the power button twice to get to my lock screen. Same thing happens when I get a normal notification.
[Android Apps and Games] TheoKondak:
Try to download from this thread, put it to your phone memory and install it from there.

In order to do so, go to Android Settings-> security and check Unknown Sources box.This will allow you to install apps from your phone and not from the market.I did it this way and its fine ;)
[Android Apps and Games] aNYthing24:
Looks nice, but it seems to just pulse once and not reappear again (e.g. pulse in and out). Does this happen to anyone else?
[Android Apps and Games] Nwwolf1:
Excellent job, really. it's very minimalistic and pretty. I've actually never really installed an app through apk, it went on fine, but I do have one question. If you update the up will I be able to update from in the app or do I have to redownload the new apk?
[Android Apps and Games] S.AMU:
Great. I would linke to See the possibility, that the app itself "runs" only when the phone is plugged in :) would be very great
[Android Apps and Games] Giovannilamarmora:
Support jelly Bean

Please insert support Jelly Bean. ..this apps its fantastic
[Android Apps and Games] Bottleface:
Love the app, I have 2 bug reports

I love using this app on my Nexus 7. Unlocking it while at work can be cumbersome so this app is exactly what I need.

1. The lock icon shows above the clock

​

2. I downloaded some music from Google Play Music to my device and the notification won't go away.

The Thumbtack icon from Google Play Music (this shows in the app as well as when any notification comes in )

There is no notification from Google Play Music in my notification shade.

​

I'm sure you're working on settings and features and such, something that would be useful is a "clear notifications" feature.

Keep up the good work, the app is great!

[Android Apps and Games] hectormcesar:
Great App Thanks for your work!! Question or Suggestion, if possible to add a setting that can let us choose the timing of the notification?? and/or timing to repeat the notification??

Thank in advance!! Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] nerdslogic:
Installed and configured. VZW GN on CM11 2.12 build. Will report any issues.

Question, is this to be a lock screen replacement?
[Android Apps and Games] azuelagomez:
Hi. Firstly thanks for this really good application, I would like to say you that I have just updated to the v 1.2 and after that I don't receive any notification test or any other normal notification

[Android Apps and Games] Mihir1997:
Convert into full-fledged LockScreen replacement?

I'd like to see this as an (optional) full lockscreen replacement.

I mean, I love Active Display in general, but find that I rarely see the Active DIsplay Notifs because my phone is usually in my pocket when theyoccur. If the AcDisplay screen could be used as a Lockscreen (with features like LS shortcuts, swipe for widgets, etc.) It would make it 100% more useful to me (and I assume many other people).

I know this is probably not going to happen, but I thouhgt I might as well put it out there so devs know there is interest.

BTW, I REALLY love this app. it is superbly designed (the AcDisplay screen) and easy to use.

how is this different from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scheffsblend.activedisplay_ads
[Android Apps and Games] Elvecio:
What a great app! I immediately done a 4$ donation for the hard effort of the developer :D

I updated to v. 2.4.2 by Play Store, and i have to say that there is so much good work.
[Android Apps and Games] TheKingOfPain:
2.4.2 working fine. I noticed it requires a new permission (Vibration), but what for? Can't find any new setting.
[Android Apps and Games] ahmadsamhann:
can you add option to dim screen instead of default brightness. just a suggestion. I'm sorry if its a stupid one. :p
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
Because that is seems to be required by Samsung devices to make notifications work properly (if I recall the changelog correctly)
[Android Apps and Games] aamir123:
Title says 27/8 I believe it should be 27/7. Made me double check the date lol
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
OK, so I really am enjoying this app and 2.4.2 is working nearly flawlessly, but why does it use so much memory? At 53MB, it uses more than every other pig I have, including Pocketcasts and Swiftkey...Only Google Search/Now uses more memory.
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
Pocketcast and Swiftkey don't run all the time and temporarily store all the data of notifications to show them to you. In addition to that, RAM is made to be used. On android free RAM is wasted RAM.
[Android Apps and Games] LiquidSolstice:
I feel like even if you repeat this over one billion times, there will still be someone who automatically equates "free RAM" with good and "used RAM" with bad.
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
but..but...windows....
[Android Apps and Games] LiquidSolstice:
A tiny piece of me dies inside when I see, in the "Show your xdevice homescreen!" threads, someone running something like a GS4 or a Nexus 5, and I see the Advanced Task Killer icon in their status bar. Like I literally start twitching with disbelief.

Anyways, on the topic of the thread, this app is extremely well made and very well designed. It works reliably, quietly, never gets in the way, and somehow you managed to do this inside of an apk that's less than a megabyte.

it astonishes me that you are putting this up in the market at no cost whatsoever. Good software developers should be rewarded for their efforts, and since (as with most bi-weekly American companies) my payday is tomorrow, you can be guaranteed to see a nice little donation from me by the end of tomorrow.

Excellent work.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
I have an N5 and definitely don't worry about ram... But I do equate running app memory usage with code efficiency. It was an honest question from an experienced android user, and not intended as a criticism or noob/troll comment. At least you guys got the chance to vent though... Great app Artem.
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
There really is no link between the too except for extreme cases (which 53MB is certainly not one of)
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
Just asking, does the screen timeout countdown supposed to reset if you tap in a blank area?
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
it doesn't reset. It sets itself to the time that you specified in the timeout settings.
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
But is it supposed to reset to the beginning of the interval you set? Because it doesn't appear to be doing that.
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
are you using 2.4.2?
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
Yes, from the play store this morning. N5, rooted, 4.4.4, no exposed.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

Just tested it again. It's actually working as intended. Sorry, for some reason it didn't look like it before but probably my mistake
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Something I just noticed recently...if you double tap, the screen goes immediately off. Nice feature to dismiss at your desk.
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
I really love that feature. I believe its actually been in there for quite a while.
[Android Apps and Games] SMillerNL:
I'm pretty sure the first alpha version I used had that. No dismissing or opening notifications but I'm pretty sure it had that.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
[MENTION=3685328]AChep[/MENTION],

Do you plan to allow us to set how long the proximity sensor will need to take action?

Sometimes the phone is idling on the desk, and I'd like to turn on the screen to check the notifications, but it only works if I cover the sensor for 3 seconds or so.

An option to let us choose this interval would be nice.

I bet many here would agree with me. :)
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
Are you saying that the power switch won't turn on the screen?
[Android Apps and Games] hawkerpaul:
He's probably like me, and has Active mode enabled and lock screen disabled.

You wont get the AcDisplay screen by pressing the power button in this config.

A good mod would be to allow this on the power button press, but not sure if this would be possible as this would then have to bypass the lockscreen
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
I've examined this a bit more closely. It appears to me that what is going on with the timout is that the Inactive area timeout is stuck on 5 seconds regardless to what it is set.

Nexus 5, rooted, 4.4.4 no exposed.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
I don't know for certain... But, this is what I'm proposing:

You are on your PC, while your device is sitting on your desk. You wanna see if there's something new, but you don't want to press the power button.

In an ideal world (Moto X), picking up the phone will trigger the active display and it'll show you the stuff. In AC Display, unfortunately, you'll need to cover the proximity sensor (for 3 seconds, or so) and uncover it, then the screen will light up (it'll think you took it outta your pocket).

What I'm proposing, is an option to decrease this 3 second timer, let's say an option for 0.5, 1 and 2 seconds.

Result: Your device will be sitting on your desk. You'll just hover your finger over the proximity sensor, and the screen will be lit.

Understand?

Actually, I just wish to have my screen turn on by passing my finger over the sensor, without needing to keep it covered for 3 seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] oifi:
Put it on the desk with the screen pointing down, so it wakes up everytime you grab it.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
Unfortunately, that'd make the notification led useless.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
IMO, that is going to make for a lot of pocket wakes. More than one time, I returned the phone to my pocket only to find the screen turn on just as I release my hand, so even a 3 second timeout is too fast for me. With your magic wand mod, you will have the screen on every time to move it. I'm all for having an adjustable time, but I think you will find you leave it right about where it is now. Perhaps you should look into a "tap to wake" kernel mod or other such pocket wake generator.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
I think your misunderstood me.

What you proposed is impossible. The sensor has a 50mm range. It'd never turn on while inside your pocket.

Also, I originally suggested an option to set that interval.

0.5, 1, 3 or 3 seconds. You choose it.
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
I think you misunderstood me...accidentally shading the sensor while putting it in your pocket often results in the screen on when I release my hand. I'd add a 5 second time also, as I feel the 3 seconds is too short, not too long.
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
I think I got it, now.

Anyways, an option to set the timeout would be good for everyone.

Particularly, I'd set it at 1 second.
[Android Apps and Games] ffejy462:
Maybe I'm missing something here, but you can set it to wake display when new notification comes in. No need to manually turn screen on by any means
[Android Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
That's how I do it...between that and the notification LED, I rarely use the power button anyways...
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
I'm thinking about getting a tmobile LG G3. Has anyone tried it on a g3? Is it supposed to work?
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
I don't use that feature. Only active mode.

Too much drain, as I receive whatsapp messages all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] LiquidSolstice:

For me this new feature doesn't work. Out of pocket screen turns on back in pocket screen turns off out oft pocket again nothing happens.
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
I'm using active mode with wake on notification off. After the update, for the first ever, my phone turned on in my pocket and inadvertently turned on airplane mode losing an important call in progress.

I'm not clear just what the update does but is there a way to turn off the new feature?
[Android Apps and Games] kicksilver:
2.4.4 released, fixes what you guys are complaining about.

[Android Apps and Games] Clarkiieh:
