(Pixel 3a XL) List of (useless) bugs that i found while trying the app
  1. Found my way to forcefully enable pop up on lockscreen, by deleting a notification in lockscreen, it would appear and it worked like it does in homescreen. (but it will be normal again if you open to home screen and turning off again) -video
  2. Pop up worked when i was on vertical mode (haven't tried on different app). It doesn't appear on the screen, but if you tap the top middle long enough, the player will appear. -video
  3. Happened once, parts of the player suddenly were gone and it only appeared like in the picture -not actual screenshot, edited picture
Loving it so far, thank you

When I close the applications, it stays like this, and when I restart the phone, it is fixed again.
 
Hello @Jawomo,
great app, I already use aodNotifiy which is also great. My only issue is that after the install, Android Auto in my car is not connecting anymore with my mobile (Pixel 6Pro). I tried to deinstall, clearing all the data first and after that Android Auto was working fine again. Any advices ?

Cheers

Installed this on my S22 Ultra! Works great but it I start a timer on the Google clock app instead of the Samsung clock app I don't see how much is left in the popup, is there a way to fix that?

EDIT: working fine here with latest release.
Dont know why google approval is so slow sometimes...

Learned about, installed and bought it this morning (Ned). A few things I've noticed, first o e not already shared by someone else.

I use dS on a Flip3, with all icons disabled. Only the clock on the right side and a persistent notification with my blood sugar level on the left. I would love if the BS-notification doesn't have the text balloon icon accompanying it. And even not swipeable.

I think I also would like the expanded version directly, but not for my persistent notification. But an option to turn anything on or off would be best 😇 Mostly I like the clean and simple look, so checking how it works in iOS16 could be a great help.

For now: thanks for making this 😊

Hi there,

with the release of iPhone 14 Pro Apple introduced Dynamic Island. Some call the feature ingenious, some useless.

As i already created a notification light app for Samsung or Pixel phones (aodNotify) i tried to port the app to something like Dynamic Island.

In android we have no camera islands, but camera spots / cutouts. So that's when dynamicSpot was born :)


With dynamicSpot you can easily get the iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island feature on your device! dynamicSpot gives you Dynamic Island's mini multitasking feature, making it easier to access recent notifications or phone events.

Just tap on the little black popup to open the displayed app, long press the popup to expand it and view more details.

iPhone's Dynamic Island is not customizable, but dynamicSpot is! You can change interaction settings, select when to show or hide the popup or which apps should appear.

As dynamicSpot uses Android's notification system it is compatible with almost all apps, like messaging notification, timer apps and even music apps!
So if you e.g. start a timer, dynamicSpot will show you the running time.


The app is in a public beta currently and will be further optimized. Animations may not be super smooth and not all apps be compatible currently.
But im working on it :)


MAIN FEATURES
• iPhone 14 Pro Dynamic Island feature
• Mini multitasking for your phone
• Support for timer apps
• Support for music apps
• Customizable interaction


MUSIC CONTROLS
• Play / Pause
• Next / Prev
• Touchable seekbar


SPECIAL EVENTS
• Timer aps: Show running timer
• Battery: Show percentage
• Maps: Show distance
• Music apps: Music controls
• More to come soon!

Works like a charm on Pixel Experience on Poco X3 Pro! ❤️

    The app is Really Good I even bought the pro version but it would be even better if we had the option to choose which notification category triggers the dynamic spot. For example i like my youtube subscription notifications to come in the form of pop ups and at the same time not trigger the dynamic spot but on the other hand i would like my livestream notifications to triggers the dynamic spot. That for me is a very decisive feature and I'm sure it is for other people as well. Also another even more feature to me is having the option to not only disable the dynamic spot in landscape but also only letting normal/regular phone pop up go throughout or at least adapt the dynamic island for landscape mode without it being awkwardly place in the middle of the screen where no camera is placed.

    If in instances like this we could have pop ups like this:
    1000011593.jpg

    Just like with iphones.

    And also one major issue that i have been encountering is the fact that: when we unable the option " Auto expand" for any music app or any app that has a media player (ie youtube , the browser ) the pop up auto expands whenever whenever the music or video.
    changes which is not very much convenient as it constantly gets on the way after every single music.
    As illustrated in the video below



    I Hope you find time to read these suggestions which i think would make your app even better and accessible to a wider audience. Other than that I'm really satisfied with it.

    Hey, the app is amazing and works fine but I have encountered a problem with the music pop up. When I am playing music from Spotify the pop up is always visible and doesn't go anyway unless i open Spotify again or pull down the notification panel but it returns again after I close them.

    both auto hide for small and expanded pop ups are at 5 seconds and the non removable notifications option is enabled.

    Alright April security patch did nothing.

    I have a feeling dynamic spot is taking a second to read the app and make sure there is/isn't something to display. It just feels choppy when exiting apps.
    I have an S24 and dont have this problem. Very strange... will investigate

    Directly from playstore. Just join beta before
    Alright I just learned that. This seems to have fixed it. No more sticky/stuttering behaviour when exiting apps. I even compared it to my screen recordings and it looks like stock. Thank you so so much!

    And if I may, there's a tiny feature request (not a bug) I have. I was wondering if its possible to give us finer control over the positioning sliders. Right now I'm trying to blend the island with the status bar and a value of -41 is too low and -40 is too high (seems -40.5 would be perfect). It's something really small the equivalent of a row of pixels. If you can implement it in the next update, that'd be great. If you get to it later, it's all good. Take your time.

    Asides from that everything is more or less perfect for me.

    Thanks again!!!
