DynamicNotifications 3.8

Dynamic Notifications allows you to receive all of your notifications even when your screen is off. When you receive a new email/text message, the display will discreetly light up to let you know. You don’t need to unlock the device. If you want to, the app even shows you a short preview of the message or information about the caller. This feature provides more convenience and information compared to a traditional notification LED.

Features:

• Notifications don't light up when your phone is in your pocket, purse, or face down to avoid accidental unlocks
• Select which app notifications you'd like to receive via Dynamic Notifications
• Customize the appearance of the app (foreground/background color/image, show the date near the clock, change the main notification border style, and more)
• "Custom timeout": Choose how long Dynamic Notifications should be shown (Premium feature)
• "Breathing notifications": Allow dismissed notifications to reappear after custom intervals (Premium feature)
• "Night mode": Disable notifications at night (Premium feature)
• "Hide additional details": Hide additional notification details such as SMS text and sender (Premium feature)
• "Use as lockscreen": Use the app as a replacement for your stock lockscreen (Premium feature)
• "Auto-wake": Automatically turn on the screen when you pull the device out of your pocket or pick it up from lying face-down on a table (Premium feature)
• "Custom brightness": Adjust the brightness of the Dynamic Notifications screen (Premium feature)
• "Edit swipe actions": Choose different actions for each swipe direction (e.g. unlock, dismiss, launch camera/custom app) (Premium feature)

How-To:

• Swipe right to see more details about the notification
• Swipe left to unlock the device (respects your unlock-security settings)
• Swipe up or down to dismiss the notification

FAQ:

• How can I make sure the app is working correctly? Launch the app, follow the setup steps, and then turn off your phone's screen. Send an email to yourself from your PC and after a few seconds, the notification screen should light up!
• The screen sometimes turns on to the lockscreen, even if my phone is in my pocket. Please go to your phone's system settings, then "Security," and "Device administrators." Tick the checkbox next to "Dynamic Notifications". This will only allow the app to lock your screen.
• When I lock my screen, nothing happens! The app isn't a lockscreen replacement. It respects your security settings (PIN/Pattern lock) and only appears if you receive a new notification while the screen is turned off.
• Will the app become available for Android 2.x, 3.x, 4.x? The app is now compatible with Android >=4.0. If you're running Android 4.3 or newer, it will make use of the new "NotificationListenerService" feature introduced in Android 4.3.
• Why can't I uninstall the app? Please go to your system settings, select "Security," "Device Administrators," and uncheck the Dynamic Notifications entry. You will then be able to uninstall the app.
• My phone starts talking to me when I enable the app?! This is a known Samsung bug. Please go to your system settings, select "Apps," then "All," and disable the Samsung TTS engine. If this doesn't work, go to your system settings, then "Accessibility," "Talkback," and make sure it's disabled. Also, uncheck all options you see in the Talkback settings.
