Adding UI's

ChuckNasty
Hello Folks,

I just picked up a Moto One Hyper and im not particularly impressed with the UI that it has. I dont think it has one. By impressed I probably mean not used/comfortable with yet. Ive had a Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe for like 3 years now and I really enjoyed the UI that it has. A few Examples:

When i hit the square it shows recent apps and right above my thumb next to the square is the close all open apps button. On the moto i have to slide all the way over a couple times to "clear all" I do this anytime i am about to lock my phone (OCD Muscle memory habit) and it drives me nuts that i have to do all that extra scrolling lol. Or the pin when i enter the pin on the lock screen i then have to press the arrow to enter it instead of before i would do my pin and it would automatically unlock as soon as i entered the last number. Trivial things i know but they drive me insane. Also really like the built in PC file transfer for work.

I want to install ZenUI On my new phone but i went to install the ZenUI Launcher and it will not install with the APK it just says "Not Installed"

anyone know how to fix this? Or has a decent UI for androids? It has Android 10 and ive got the developer mode thing turned on but thats about as much as i know.

Thank you for your help in advance!

Cheers,

Chuck

Hotspot and bluetooth

It's not about the ipad but about connection interference between bluetoothand wifi. I teach pilates and need to be heard at the same time music is playing. Believe me, controlling my music fron my watch while on the floor demonstrating exercises is a huge plus. It's working fine except for, as I described in my post, the music goes in and out occasionally.

Yes, it's definitely possible for WiFi to interfere with Bluetooth. And in fact some devices will tell you about it.

That's from my Huawei phone. And the school campus, where I live, is definitely WiFi congested.

Can you try using a wired speaker for your classes, instead of trying to do everything with wireless?

no, but if you are running out of room then thing can slow down and or become buggy. you can try and put it in safe mode and see if it is still happening. this will determine if a 3rd party app is causing the issue or not. if it is still happening then it is most likely just the phone and not from an app. if it stops doing it then an app is causing the issue.

another option is to factory reset the device and see if that helps.

New App: Meteogram Pro Weather Widget (Version 3.8.5)

A
WHAT'S NEW
3.8.5:
• dark/light map theme for Map Picker in Location section which follows app theme
• internal improvements to widget updating reliability for locally-generated widgets
• widget button text on a rotated widget is now rotated correctly
• the two action buttons in the settings page slide up when snackbar message appears

EXTRA INFO
  • Rating: 4.6
  • Installs: 100,000+
  • Download Size: 9.2M
  • Version: 3.8.5
DESCRIPTION
Note

If you're looking to upgrade from the free version, please be aware that a less costly upgrade path is available in-app via the free version.

Summary

This resizable weather widget (and interactive app) provides a detailed and visually appealing weather forecast, allowing you very quickly to understand what to expect when you venture outdoors. The graphical format is commonly referred to as a 'meteogram'.

You can choose to display as little or as much information as you like, or you can set up multiple widgets showing different information (optionally for different places) in different widgets.

You can plot common weather parameters like temperature, wind speed and pressure, as well as tide charts, UV Index, wave height, moon phase, sunrise and sunset times, and much much more!

You can even display government-issued weather alerts in the header: those from National Weather Service (US), Environment Canada, and MeteoAlarm (Europe).

The content and style of the meteogram is extremely configurable... with over 1000 options to set, your imagination is the limit!

The widget is also fully resizable, so make it however small or large you like on your home screen! And the interactive app is just a click away, direct from the widget.

Furthermore, you can choose where your weather data comes from: the Norwegian Met Office (Meteorologisk Institutt), the German Met Office (Deutscher Wetterdienst or DWD), the Swedish Met Office (SMHI), the UK Met Office, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), or from several other weather forecast services (for example MeteoGroup and AccuWeather).

Pro Version

Compared to the free version, the pro version gives you the following extra benefits:

★ no adverts
★ no watermark on chart
★ favourite locations list
★ choice of weather icon set
★ change location (e.g. from favourites) direct from widget button
★ change data provider direct from widget button
★ link to windy.com direct from widget button
★ save/load settings to/from a local file and/or a remote server
★ include some historical or cached data in the meteogram
★ time machine (show weather or tides for any date, past or future)
★ greater choice of fonts
★ custom webfont (choose any from Google Fonts)
★ notifications (including temperature in status bar)

Platinum Upgrade

An in-app platinum upgrade will provide the following additional benefits:

★ use of all available weather data providers
★ use of tide data

Support and Feedback

We always welcome feedback or suggestions. Join our online community at Reddit (http://bit.ly/meteograms-reddit) or Slack (http://bit.ly/slack-meteograms), or email us using the handy link in the settings page in the app. Also check out the help pages at https://trello.com/b/ST1CuBEm, and the website (https://meteograms.com) for further information and an interactive meteogram map.

Explanation of app permissions

The permission relating to "access to the device's storage" is only to enable the (very useful) feature which allows your settings to be backed up to a file, so that they can later be loaded back (or shared with others). Note that, from Android 6, this permission anyway needs to be granted at runtime, so if you never grant this permission when it is requested, the app will never have access to your device's storage.

Similarly, regarding the permission for the "device's location", this is only needed when you enable the "detect and follow location" feature, where the meteogram is always generated for your current location. Again, if you don't need this feature, then you don't ever need to grant this permission, and the app will never know your location.

The "draw over other apps" permission is only needed for technical reasons when local chart generation is enabled. By default, this is not enabled, so the permission is never needed. Furthermore, nothing is ever actually drawn over other apps.

Android Do Not Disturb Ineffective !

puppykickr
I don't have this issue with my 8.1.0, and I always have Priority Only on.
It stays on even after a restart/reboot.

See if that works better for you.

Also, depending on your device, there is a System UI Tuner setting that allows for apps to have 5 levels of notification, rather than only on or off.

Be aware that each edition of Android has a different System Tunuer UI.

From your homescreen, pull down the quick setttings menu by a swipe from the top downward.

Find the little settings 'pinwheel' and touch and hold it for about 10 seconds, until it animates (spins).
You may get a notification that the System UI Tuner has been unlocked.

Now go back to the homescreen and enter Settings.
Scroll down towards the bottom and you will find System UI Tuner.
Inside there, you may find Power Notification Control.

If this is turned on, when you set notifications for an app there will be 5 choices of intensity, and at least one will allow the app notification to override Do Not Disturb (level 5).

Usually a setting of 1 or 2 gives me the peace that I crave.

Your other option is to mute the device when total silence is desired.
Most devices tie the notification and ring volumes together partially, if not totally- so try turning your ringer volume all the way down.

Of course, then you must remember to turn it back up again to hear it ring.

Perhaps there is a simple app that can help more.
This one works well on my 8.1.0 as it allows individual volume types to be scheduled for the desired settings at specific times.

Accessories Ideas on development office setup

T
Hi,
I'm looking for ideas for my workstation office setup. I've posted pictures of both of my offices below. I have two computers (both laptops) that need to be repaired before I can use them. I would install Linux on both of them. I also have an android tablet that I pretty much inherited when I moved in to this location. It's not pictured in here but I was thinking that I could have an office desk mount for the tablet to use the tablet as a second display. Note that there is room for one more desktop computer and I posted an ad on craigslist for another donated computer. Both of these computers are in two different rooms. I'm looking for ideas on how to improve these setups/workstations for development. And yes I already know that the shop area needs to be cleaned. The last two pictures are an idea of the setups that I'm trying to get:

Unwanted talking text messages

G
Since I really don't use "Messages". It's the default app that came with the phone. I've never changed the settings for "Messages" unless it was by accident.

I saw on google where I could turn off Talkback, but it appears that would affect the other talkback features I listed in my post that I want to retain. I get bad weather notifications that also talk back if the phone is on standby and charging. I don't mind getting the notifications, I just don't want it blaring out when I'm watching TV.

Android APK App Shorcuts

L
Did you install that file on your phone after downloading it? Unlike Google Play, the apk file won't be automatically installed on your device. You have to manually install it. I've downloaded and then installed Dead Trigger 3 APK from apktovi, and found that the shortcut of this app still shows up on my homescreen. If you haven't installed it yet, try to find the downloaded file on your file manager.

Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Pay.

O
I have now found out that Samsung Pay is compatible with my UK Bank.

I have (apparently) successfully set up Samsung Pay on my Galaxy S8 phone, though I have jet to try it out.

The problem I now have is this....

Before the installation of Samsung Pay swiping up on the screen brought up all the apps on the phone

After the installation of Samsung Pay swiping up on the screen now opens Samsung Pay.

My question is this...how do I access the list of apps on the phone?

Black Display when using a mouse

P
I connected a Microsoft mouse to my Huawei MediaPad M5 lite using an OTG cable. Everything works well, except for one thing that I can't figure out: when I start a video on Netflix or Amazon Prime, the screen goes black, but film and sound continue to run in the background. When I then touch the display with my finger, the image reappears, when I move the mouse it disappears. Youtube and VLC player work perfectly. When I open Twitter everything is normal, as soon as I scroll a bit with the mouse there is a kind of gray veil over the image that disappears when you touch the display with your finger. I've already connected a Logitech mouse, but the result was the same.
Does anyone have an idea why this might be ?
Thanks in advance !

How to save PRO/RAW mode in Samsung S10e camera app?

P
Thank you. This is about the 5th camera app I have tried, and YES it works!
Filmic Pro and Camera FV5 are no good on the S10e.
Enabling RAW took a bit of time finding but with help from this
https://opencamera.sourceforge.io/help.html#raw
I did eventually work it out.
The focus also seems to work, which was always a problem with 3rd party camera apps on the S6 onwards, IME, due to the crippled Samsung public API.
I just need a basic RAW camera (with exposure control) because the rest is done in Lightroom. The 12MP sensor appears to be same as S7, S9, etc and the results from RAW are very good.
