The plan is to put it on Google Play at some point. I bet my host decided to upgrade PHP behind my back. Edited March 11, 2020 by Slion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,201 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 It could be a while until the server gets back online so here is the latest version of FxService: app-FxService-release-v0.4.0.apk 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like it is back online for now. However I'll probably need to go through a round of upgrades in the coming weeks, therefore further down time to be expected.

Tried that new light sensor feature but it does not work for me I'm afraid. I doubt I can make it work any better. Basically the light sensor is not sensitive enough in low light conditions. It goes to 1.0 Lux but can't distinguish the whole range of various low light conditions between 0.0 and 1.0 Lux. Therefore, the best way to use that screen filter is still to set it up manually.

Slion 1,201 Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Just released v0.6.0 adding support for locking the screen upon closing your keyboard. Mostly for people not using flip case I guess. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mostly for people not using flip case I guess. I have seen several wishing for that. I remember for my Xperia (Neo) Pro that it was quite handy - but that was at a time where portrait was used primarily for phone calls. But what about some smarter version of that! Lock the display IF you do not interact with he display after close in say 3s (could be same lock time-out slider as the flip close) It could EITHER be implemented by turning the display off, but allowing a Power press to turn it back on OR it could hesitate turning the display off, perhaps with a pop-up count-down. that people could just touch to cancel, say "Locking in # seconds, touch to cancel". ...Just an idea... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder about that... People may touch the popup... I'm afraid of a "good intentions; bad implementation". IMO, it's really hard to know if a screen touch is meant as a "continue using" or as a "ups, I touched by accident". Maybe canceling the lock by mistake can be mitigated with a noise and rumble? Just bringing this up to avoid no one thinking about it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even turning off the display without locking the screen and without the proximity sensor is apparently not possible. If you think about it does make sense too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,460 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Minor bug with new function. If you open&close when locked, and then touch the fingerprint to unlock, it does, and count down to lock again.... (And for some reason sometimes the box is shown slightly smaller without the cancel - I have not been able to spot the pattern) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EskeRahn 5,460 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 ...Suggestion: Left of the "Cancel" add a "Lock now", can make sense if people have set it a little high, and do not want to wait, before putting it in say the pocket. Of course we can just press the Power, but would make sense next to "Cancel", and Power could have it's own delay, is selected in the standard settings. Have you any news on getting it to work on LineageOS? The sensor here act somewhat different, repeatedly sending a close, and a different key... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slion 1,201 Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 @EskeRahn Well, ideally we should use the sensors directly rather than relying on funny key input. Last we looked we could only find the keyboard sensor, the one for the case remained elusive. Surely @tdm could help us with that as somewhere in the system something generates those keys based on the raw sensor input. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ahunter 108 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The Fx count down timer does not display properly sometimes. When shutting screen. No cancel button displayed and the dialogue window seems to be stretched and attached to the right hand frame of the screen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
