Floatifications (Trial)

Floatifications is a new and intuitive way to view your notifications. It can take a notification from any app and present it to you as a floating icon, similar to Facebook chat heads, but for any application. It even works in fullscreen mode (in Games, Youtube etc) and is fully customizable.
This is a full 14 day trial to give you plenty of time to get to grips with everything Floatifications has to offer :)

The unlocker can be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=robj.floating.notificationsunlocker

=========

TickerFor this to show you need to enable it per app, long press the last icon in the app list to see how.Then in Settings choose if it should show in fullscreen, or non fullscreen apps. Or both :)

ThemesThemes for FN can be found both on the Play Store (search "FN Theme") or on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283623)

App integration
- Android 4.2 or LowerFN is not able to make notifications disappear from your status bar. An app cannot dismiss another apps notification.However, if you want any of your favourite apps to either make their status bar notification disappear when you dismiss the corresponding Floating Notification, or vica versa, you can point them to this page where they can add Floatifications integration:http://iamrobj.com/intents-fn/

HaloThis is NOT Halo. There are no popups of full apps and nor will there ever be. If that is what you are after unfortunately you will not find it here.HOWEVER, if you are running a custom ROM which supports Halo then you there is a setting to open any notifications from FN in a Halo window.

Dev'sThe extension library and wiki can be found here:https://code.google.com/p/fn-extensions-library/=========

Samsung Owners
- Some Samsung devices might start reading aloud, this is a known Samsung bug, it is not something I can fix however a number of possible fixes can be found here: http://goo.gl/mnzjI And you can see Samsung's response to the issue here http://goo.gl/l1E3d
- Swipe keyboard input on some Samsung devices might stop working (typing only), again, this is a known Samsung bug, it is not something I can fix

If you receive no notificationsDo you have other accessibility services enabled? If so disable them, enable Floatifications, then re enable them. If this fails to work please email me and I'll help you set it up.

Known issues (not caused by this app)
- If you are on 4.2 and using the screen on option, when you phone is locked, instead of the usual screen timeout of 10
- 40 seconds (depending on device) it'll instead use your normal display timeout (the one you set in your display settings)
- this could result in battery drain is your normal timeout is long ( >1 min)
- If you are on Sense 5 and using the lock screen option, any touch can unlock the phone, this is a known Sense issue

The developers puts the tips next button right underneath the button that brings up app pages. This work nothing like I hoped. I was hoping to get something like FB. It's pretty impossible to move the stupid floating head. I did it exactly how it said to several times and it still didn't move. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for this none sense

Che. M. L. Nov 23, 2016

I have a volume locker, and FB and Messenger, and Voice Mail, and... i looked up best Notification Managers, after trying several others, now during the first 30 minutes of the "free trial," it says my trial is over. This is a keeper, but, i won't have money til payday. Then 5 stars

Nic. W. Nov 27, 2015

When it works, it's brilliant, but doesn't always work. Please fix and will rate 5 star

Ash. G. Jan 13, 2016

Can't figure out why but it doesn't always work. Sometimes I get the chathead and other times I don't. Also the chathead often only turns invisible instead of going away. So it'll still pop up the text when nothing is there. Galaxy Note Edge lollipop.

My. P. Apr 13, 2016

Why can't we disable the double tap to move chathead function as it takes ages to get it to move, virtually impossible on my galaxy s4 i9505

Doesn't work in android 7.1.1. I've owned this product for a few years and I loved it. However, it doesn't work in the latest android version and I emailed Rob and never heard a response.

Cat. D. Dec 16, 2015

But it doesn't always work and seems to be getting worse. A few other bugs as well.

Bay. O. Jul 27, 2016

Whenever I try to use this on my old phone (Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro) the app crashes. I recommend this app for phones with android jelly bean and lower. Not for old phones. Otherwise good app.

Dan. S. Jan 10, 2017

I originally wanted to emulate those pixelated smartclocks (like the Divoom Timebox) on a tablet, and the most important (and difficult to simulate) feature was app notifications. This app provides that functionality perfectly.

Rah. P. Dec 5, 2017

Good functionality, random residual notifications pop up in middle of any ongoing app & cannot be dismissed without clicking on the notification & reading it in full screen app

Ste. E. Feb 10, 2017

My 14 day trial ended immediately upon installation. Worthless. Uninstalled.

A. G. u. Jan 2, 2016

As soon as I opened this app it said the trial had expired even though I had never used it before. It's a shame as the app looked promising but I refuse to pay before I can try it out first.

A. G. u. Feb 12, 2017

I installed this app but it immediately said the trial had expired (after 1 minute). I have never even heard of this app until today so I can only assume that it's a "paid only" app now.

Joh. O. Sep 13, 2016

Keeps installing even though I've deleted it a number of times

Tah. D. Dec 26, 2015

OK but they need to add reply or view than that will be awesome

The. F. o. T. A. Nov 20, 2015

:v Floatifications is osm, we need more updates and fixes please. The random crashes, please fix it. And see i'm always at immersive mode it would be awesome if you could fix the clock extension cause every time i press on the floating clock it crashes :C Please respond to this~~~~~~~

A. G. u. Jun 6, 2017

Just Installed and did nothing but said trial period over yet states 14days so it is impossible to tell if it would be useful!

Has. C. H. Dec 17, 2015

Double tap for moving icon is very bad. Please fix it.

Cyr. C. Jul 18, 2016

Could not get it to work on Samsung Galaxy S6

Mom. Oct 18, 2016

A Waste A Money Force Closes Way Too Much

vFi. Dec 19, 2015

You should try to get the license to use the chat head like facebook messenger that would really improve this app, and if you do ill but the full version unlock thing

Mar. M. Mar 14, 2017

Downloaded the trial and it installed as "Trial Expired" Sweet! Going to look at alternatives.

Lat. Apr 12, 2017
