Anyone interested?

I have the app built but think it could use some additional data to make it fun.

Update:
App is on the play store for a very reasonable price to keep me interested in updating it from time to time

That would be awesome! Is it an xposed module? Either way, I'd love test.

I don't have time to make the play store entry.. If you can think of other data you want on it, let me know

New version.. Reads the percent on the same line. Useful for multiple notifications on the active display screen

I am trying to find icons that will give somewhat of a representation of the level but can't seem to find any that active display likes.

nice app.. you should work on icons displaying the percentage (i think you are already on it)
and maybe some extra features like.. display the percentage only when the battery is less than 30% or more than any specified value..and also an option for displaying it only when charging...some customization options would be great.. thanks for the app :good:

Thanks for the suggestions.. After I figure out how I can get percentages on the icon, I'll be moving it to the market.

Are you saying that you don't want to see the notification unless it's above or below a certain percentage?

yes..
like, it should only display the notification when the battery is low than 30%
or you can say it the other way round, that it should NOT display the notification when battery is above 30% (30% is just an example)
this option will be appreciated..

and for the icons,
maybe you can use only white numbers, so it will look like (30) inside a ring (the active display ring)

I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT APP DEVELOPMENT, SO THESE ARE JUST POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS, I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH OF THIS CAN BE IMPLEMENTED IN THIS APP :silly:

and you can use like, RED colored icon for lower battery levels..just some suggestions..

I will be able to do a lot more when I get home.. It is good to brainstorm about this in the mean time..

99c a fair price?

Does this simply run on a timer, polling the battery level and then displaying the battery level as a notification that active display will show?

This was my work

Nice work!

It doesn't really poll the way I'd consider to be a battery drainer.. It just waits for the system to notify of a battery change and wakelock for enough time to post a new notification.

After dealing with all kinds of battery problems on this phone, was very careful to not have it wasting any unnecessary power.

I notice that it activates every few seconds even when I don't touch the phone why is this.

Active display turns on at many times, you can touch and see when the last battery notification was..

I thought it was activating several times as well. But, then followed what the timings are on the notifications

I think active display is more sensitive when there is a notification waiting.. Can't really tell you but I know it's certainly not waking up all those times to create a new notification. It's not the way the app behaves on a granular level.

I paid for the app in the play store. All seems well other than the weather. It just shows %odtemp° and the same thing for the other two forms of data.

I put in my zip code as requested. Also a reboot to see if that'd fix it. Ohh and the app update too.

The app already updated? That was fast.. I'll check to see why it isn't getting weather data.. You put in a 5 digit zip code from the USA?

I just added the Weather get in the setup. If you have problems, please feel free to post here. Sorry about the problems and thank you got your support
