So, as we understand Lollipop lastly introduced lockscreen notifications, a step that took Google a long long time. just like taking care of the Drive client for Windows 8, which already is taking them a year by now. however that is not the topic. The topic now is to show you a new method of lockscreen interactions, which are being introduced in the new lockscreen app called AcDisplay by Artem Chepurnoy. as well as I have to say, it looks quite great as well as usable. just like a great app should. great to see that somebody isn’t just copying over the work of neighborhood designers as well as is introducing something fresh, even if it is just the smallest detail.
Looks as well as usage
If we allow AcDisplay as our lockscreen replacement we are greeted by a basic clock, date as well as battery portion (optional) whenever we unlock our device, which is quite normal. however things modification swiftly as soon as we get notifications, which are displayed under the clock. Let’s state we got an SMS message as well as we pressed on the notification icon to see its content, we don’t only get to see the content, however likewise the get in touch with photo is displayed as a background. exactly how neat is that? We can likewise directly reply or open the app from the lock screen by swiping up or dismissing it by swiping down. By swiping left or ideal you can likewise cycle with several notifications instantly.
Active mode
This will allow your sensors as well as utilize a bit a lot more of your valuable battery life (even if the app states it does not, for now) as well as it works as follows. By locking your phone, active mode allows your proximity sensor to keep your screen off as long as you have it in your pocket. As soon as you take it out, the proximity sensor detects that as well as it will switch the screen on, to provide you a look at your notifications. just as that, you will have a new reason to look at your phone every 5 minutes. If only governments might be so useful.
Lockscreen blacklist
Probably everybody by now understands what a blacklist is, however you never know, so right here is a basic explanation. A blacklist allows us to block specific apps lockscreen notifications, so no matter exactly how lots of “private unicorn pictures” we get, they will never be shown on the lockscreen. just like those data on your system partition, nobody will ever understand about them.
Pinnable notification
We can discover this function under Settings> a lot more as well as it screens the notification material for a few seconds after we let go of the notification icon, which is quite useful.
Lock on reject last notification
As the title says, when you swipe away the last notification, AcDisplay will lock your phone instantly, without you needing to press the power button. This will assist to stop some wear as well as tear in the long run.
Inactive hours
You don’t like being disturbed when you go through severe surgery? just punch in the time span as well as of you go, I indicate you will not be disturbed.
Well this sums up AcDisplay quite much. It’s a great app as well as we can only hope that the dev will take great care of it in the future. It should have it.
