i might change it to ...select a contact from your default contact app, set the color and save the contact in a new list, so opening the contact list only shows those you have previously set a color.......dont think many ppl add tons of contacts...usually no more than 15.......but if you have better idea?
[Android Apps and Games] Speaking:
Sounds very good.

thanks

it works very well in my LG G2 (d802). CM12 04032015 nightly. Go on.

It seems to kill the animation on my Note3. I only had time to test it once (i'm at work) but will test it more later and come back with a conclusion. Thanks dude!

Galaxy Note EDGE?

Can you do that app for Galaxy Note EDGE? To glow only the EDGE part of the screen? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
So...its suppose to be fixed that nasty bug about not hiding the colors!!!! YAY!! XD
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
Other user reported the same...but seems that it is actually showing there thought it is covered by the edge own app.....can you try to increase the width of the stripes and check if you manage to see them? in any case, i cannot test there, and seems that the edge screen is actually somekind of independent screen from main screen or something strange.......keep me posted!
[Android Apps and Games] phonexpert_alex:
Se pare ca EDGE are un display separat acolo pe margine. Nu stiu daca se poate asa simplu.

EN: It seems that the note EDGE has a separate display on the side. I don´t know if someone could easily manage that.
[Android Apps and Games] micleadragoscostin:
I'm tried to increase the widith, but it's increased on the main screen, not to the edge... I think about an app for the edge part(to do that) :) An EDGE PANEL who can do what your app are doing :) Are many EDGE Panels for download... Maybe you can do a panel with edge colour notification :)

[MENTION=713592]PhoneExpert_alex[/MENTION] : Note EDGE nu are un display separat pe margine, este acelasi display. Se comporta ca si un display separat, care se poate marii pe display-ul principal.

EN: Note EDGE haven't a separate display on the edge, it's the same display . But it behave as a separate display, who can be increased on the main display .

Have just downloaded samsung sdk for this things.....but i dont have note edge nor have access to one to test....so i am totally blind with this....at most, i can try things and share with you to test? pm me your email plz?

Really enjoying this app!

1. Option to de-select all contacts, so I can easily enable app for only a few contacts.

2. I cannot enable app for mobile phone only, when contact has more than one phone number.
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
Gonna rewritte the whole contacts color for a better user experience.

about the second point, could you explain a little more? do you mean you only can set a color for one phone number althouth user has 2? (right now works like that)
[Android Apps and Games] Speaking:
Yes, my friend has three phones and I cannot select only one of them to get the Edge notification.

Hello forgin first of all thank u for your great effort.will u please guide how to use notification settings in this app its very helpful if u.thanks for u r great work.
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
not yet....i work on it for next version

Eh well....it just show the color when a notification is received....but can be a little spammy and annoying....find it out myself xD

so i am making it that you have to select which apps do you want to be notified...i need feedback on this to make it usefull and not a painfull feature xD
[Android Apps and Games] phonexpert_alex:
DUDE!!! HOW THE HELL DO YOU MANAGE TO SQUISH ALL THE BUGS AND INTRODUCE NEW FEATURES IN SUCH A SHORT TIME!?!?!?!?!

Sorry for the wrant, but your work is simply AMAZING!

Just a quick suggestion: could you make a simple check box to enable/disable the hook into other apps? I mean just until you manage to make the other app notification more stable.
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
you can turn off the app notifications in main screen app, there is a check for it.

How i do it? well...spending almost 9 hours a day on it xDDDD sleeping a few hours and so on xDDDD

[Android Apps and Games] goffdel:
Hello,

what would be nice if you could set the colors for App Notifications example. SMS-blue / E mail- red / pink messenger ...... !!!

ps .:

I've also found that must be in the phone book contacts with multiple numbers selected a default number (in phone), the "Edge Color Notification" to work properly otherwise are for all calls whether with or without numbering the colors the same! !
[Android Apps and Games] koragg97:
Didn't know it was you :P

Hi, Golgorz :)

First of all I had no idea that was you as you've got another name on xda. Second, your work is AWESOME, dude :D I used Hovering Controls for 2 years on my S3 Mini and it felt like an S4. Now I installed this app on my (new) Galaxy S5 and a few updates ago there was an option which made the edges snowing. Now there are only the Wave and Knight Rider animations in the list. Was the snow anim too buggy or you just forgot to add it in the current version? Btw, you might wanna correct the animation name from Night Rider to Knight Rider ;) Thanks for all your hard work. I'm a big fan xD
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
Hello!!

hehehe yeah....i use forgin here but on google i have Golgorz as dev name....both are nicks i used...forgin the old one and Golgorz from world of warcraft xDDDDDDDDDDD its a pitty they are not the same....i might change one or other.

I am very glad you liked the apps!!! every time samsung present a new phone i am ready to watch for their new features xDDD

Arrrr Night rider hahaha my bad XD changing that!!

the snow effect was causing many ANR error (interface not responding to user actions for more than 10 secs) but not on all phones....so i decided to take it out..damm fragmentation xD. i will re-think what to do with this...but for now probably just add new common animations.

greeetings!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] calummahony2016:
Do people really put their phone face down (screen side down) on a surface like tables really I never put my screen side down anyways
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
i dont do it....but i have to admit that i found the app usefull for myself at most when there is not much ambient light i can see the color from distance and decide if stand up or not from sofa xD

Lg g2

Cloudyg2 3.0 LP release

Works perfect

Thanks man
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
Right now the app choose color from the app icon....i will change that in next versions.

The contact color thing is now updated, it dont use the phonenumber anymore to store color, uses an identificator of the contact, but as the app only shows when incoming call, it searches for a contact which has the incoming phone number.

For other apps like skype and other voips its harder because its not a common phonecall.....but i can extend this with a configuration window where you can choose in which apps show the two colored columns...thought dont know if you could select a contact's color for this...
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
New version out 1.0.23 changes:::

- Added App notifications settings to app menu

- Moved phone call settings button to an option in app menu

- You can set height and width of app color notification

- Fixed positioning of app color notifications

- Icon added to app color notification to easily identify which app is.

- Option added to turn screen on to show the color alert on app notification (ACTIVATED BY DEFAULT)
[Android Apps and Games] pedro scott:
It just stop

Ok, lets say I set it up now and test it by having someone call my phone, it will work but if i leave my phone for a bout a few minutes later and i test it again it will not work as if if automatically stop or shuts off.

Where can I get the latest version you mentioned?

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

Version 1.0.23 is missing the settings button.

Another thing, i noticed that its not showing my recent saved numbers in my phone contacts, just the old ones.
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
hmmm looks like when phone kill services...but this service is actually not started, it start and stop when phone rings and stops....so strange...

The settings buttons are moved to app menu, the three dots...about the contacts issue, i will investigate it
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
[MENTION=2945040]forgin[/MENTION], included my sms app. Shouldn't the bar color disappear after I read/close the sms? I still had to swipe the bar to the right to remove it. Furthermore, the swipe distance was quite long. :)
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
hmmm....i actually didnt test this...i never use the sms app. i will do some tests

[Android Apps and Games] akkiboy:
Works pretty good. Suggestion follows

I've been looking for an app like this and finally got it. As a suggestion, please try to make an app or an add-on that brings up contact shortcuts when swiped from the right side of a s6 edge (the color bar along with contact options) it would be really great. Thank you so much for the app.
[Android Apps and Games] koragg97:
Suggestion is great but i doubt we'll ever get something like that. In the meanwhile you can try an app called Drupe. I'm using it now and it actually has more features than the S6 Edge one. Give it a go ;)
[Android Apps and Games] akkiboy:
Pretty much what I wanted. Thank you very much :)

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

The app is both for aesthetic and working purpose. But you can not really expect to see the light when the phone is flipped because of the hardware changes. If you really want the feature and not a dev's hard working mimic, You should consider getting an actual Galaxy S6. Now coming to the actual liability of the app. It does work for me, When i sleep, I usually leave my phone on mute and I've enabled specific contact colors and hence it really helps me in prioritising calls. (Actually saved my sleep cuz I didn't have to attend a call. Thanks to the custom color option and the dev for sacrificing his sleep for a wonderful project.) Second thing, as mentioned on a comment on the Play Store, I assume the App Notification color bars are still being worked on or being tweaked, because, sometimes the bar just stays there and renders that portion of the screen unusable (Touch wont be detected). That's an issue because I had to reboot the phone. Also, adding a swipe to open application with a beautiful transition effect would be really great instead of simply swipe to dismiss. The call color bars worked flawlessly on my phone and never had a problem. Also, as a suggestion, try partitioning the app notification area for multiple notifications from different apps. If possible, add an option in the application to choose what to do with a swipe. Either dismiss or open the particular application. The app icon gets squashed usually, so I recommend getting rid of it and simply leave a color bar. It's easier said that done, but nonetheless, This is a great application. Waiting for the updates :)

Long time!! got a little bussy with other life things....but already started a few weeks ago a revamp of the app notifications and already started the people edge (working on animations......i hate them, i am so bad animating xDD)

This is a test release to try out the new app notifications, suggestions and error reports are wellcome!!! apk is atached here and in first post
[Android Apps and Games] akkiboy:
Works perfectly well. Revamped app notifications work well. Deleting the play store version and installing the apk provided here worked. If not the app animations didn't work. Thanks again :)
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
and what do you think about it? any kind of improvement? suggestions? thx!
[Android Apps and Games] akkiboy:
I really like the new notification animation. (Attached it) and it looks really gorgeous. I don't use a lock screen password, So when the banner goes off, It takes me to my home screen and turns on until time out. Sometimes, I seem to be getting both varieties of app notifs (i.e. Big and side bar) (Attached screenshots) . Apart from that, the app is just perfect :good: Also, if possible, please try to make a feature, when you can hover over the proximity sensor and it shows you icons of the apps with notifications and their count in a neat design. (Something like a bunch of bubbles or something) :)

Update : Noticed that sometimes, along with the right side banner, even the notification messages are popping up. The Lollipop HUD kind of notifications. Also, Please make a feature to display the app icons as shown in the second picture to stay on the display at least when the device is plugged in for charge. That would be a nice addition.

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
about when it goes to homescreen after showing..yes it needs a permission to lock phone again, will add it.

about variety of app notifs, one is the instant notification when it is received and other one is the "reminder" which shows all notifications pending, this last screen is not configurable and is the same for all.

about hover to show notifications....i can mix this app with my other app hovering controls to do this (i dont actually want edge color to start using prox sensor and so on....i wanna keep this app simple)

the lollipop HUD i think is not modificable or i cannot make it to not show....edge app notifications should show up only when screen is off.

i will finish people edge then add more options to the notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] akkiboy:
I found another issue, where the black screen and banner comes up even when the screen is turned on. For example, I was recharging my phone via USSD and I get a conformation message, my phone was on and it goes black with the right hand side banner. Could it be a bug? and I just realised the reminder notification screen. I showed this app to my cousin and he seemed really interested in it, and, thank you very much for working on the people edge bar. and what about leaving the reminder screen turned on (I mean turned on without timeout) while the device is plugged in to charge? I think it would be a perfect peek to check feature while people leave their phones for charge and need to check their notifications without having to manually wake the device. :D Hope you give a thought about it

P.S. - I saw your hover app and it's brilliant. Opening apps with just a gesture is totally awesome. I can't thank you enough :D
[Android Apps and Games] koragg97:
Hi Golgorz,

Right now when i receive a notification from the whitelist ones and the right edge lights up to show it, instead of turning the screen off after app timeout it takes me to the lock screen and that's a big problem for me because it messes with music controls. Is this why you need the permission you mentioned in the post i quoted now ? Using the beta since a few hours ago and this is the only problem I've had so far x)
[Android Apps and Games] leekslk:
Great application!

I'm actually using it on the S6 edge because the "Peoples" option is only limited to the default text, email and obviously call applications". Most of my communication happens over Whatsapp and Inbox. So there's almost no chance that the People's app will actually be activated, at all.

[MENTION=2945040]forgin[/MENTION] in the .26BETA the edge color for selected application doesn't seem to be working. I'm not sure if there's a conflict with Peek with the new version but rolling back to .24 brings back the "edge" (have tried uninstalling .24 before installing .26RC1BETA but having similar issues, works normally on the .24 PlayStore version).

It would be nice if the edge color only turns on initially, and it should go away after going past the lockscreen or when the application detect that the user is present? I'm confused by the it being on after getting into the homescreen, and even tried to tap on it to illicit a response (of which I didn't get any of course).
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
was it an sms? if yes, i know why it happened XD forgot to add the screen off check when sms received xD. about charging, yes, will add it :)

Yes, thats why the permission to lock screen is needed....with this perm the screen auto turns off and lock, only bad side is if you need to uninstall you need to disable the permissio first and some ppl get mad because they dont understand xDDD but i am doing this, its needed.

hmmm....with the beta version when you get an app notification, it should show up a screen with the icon and a blur shiny color behind it, but only when screen is off. When screen is on, nothing is shown right now...i think i will add an edge color when screen is on too
[Android Apps and Games] leekslk:
[MENTION=2945040]forgin[/MENTION] with .26 I'm not getting any icon or edge color with the screen off or on. Could i be doing something wrong?

On .24 I'm getting persistent edge color even after screen on and well into the homescreen. Mmmm I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right. :x
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
lets do a simple test...with the latest version, be sure to activate permission to read notifications, then be sure the app is checked in the whitelist (sms app, whatsapp or whaterver)

open app notification settings and configure it, turn off screen, wait 5 seconds and get a notification from the whitelisted app, it should turn screen on showing the icon with a glow effect
[Android Apps and Games] sherpa25:
Thanks alot [MENTION=2945040]forgin[/MENTION], great enhancements! Is it possible that when a banner appears for an app (ex. sms arrives -using handcent), I can click on it to take me to the app message? Now touching it does nothing, so I have to wait for it to disappear. Tnx!

-via Tapatalk (S4)
[Android Apps and Games] leekslk:
I've tried that. On .26RC1BETA it works if I turn Peek off. I noticed that on the S6 edge, the glow bar on the side do not extend all the way to the "edge" like it did before with .24. It sits in between the non-curved region (for App notification).

Have you changed the codes dramatically from .24? Sorry to hassle you with my own problems. Will fall back on .24 for now. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] koragg97:
This should only happen if it has a turn off switch, otherwise just no. 'Cause when phone is in pocket and you recieve a message, if the edge is touchable it will open the app, turn on the screen, mess with the music controls and so on. Right now it's perfect that it doesn't do anything when you touch it, but I guess for guys like you that wanna open up the app, an on/off switch would be awesome x) Really digging the S6 Edge app notifications screen, this is even better than the stock S6 Edge feature lol :)
[Android Apps and Games] forgin:
i think i added that option to the reminder, but not the others, i will add an option to turn this on or off

i did changed some code....could you make a screenshot? may be i added too much margin or changed something in the layout. i am getting an s6 edge soon, so i will be able to test all this things in an edged and non edged phone ^^

yes, i am adding an option for this

The changes from last beta are changes in app notifications code, the right app notification (the edge one) has been moved closer to the edge of the phone, added an option to do not hide reminder while charging, added tooltips to the first time use of the app, admin rights to lock screen so app notifications dont show the lockscreen after hiding, option tu uninstall the app in the app menu and more fixes.
