A decade of kind words about my apps from the Android community. Editorial coverage in XDA, Android Police, Android Authority, Gizmodo and more, plus voices from AppBrain, Reddit and XDA Forums. Every quote verbatim, every source linked.
If you have a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 or a Z Flip 4, then CoverScreen OS is a must-have app.
…the app developed by jagan2 could be a game changer.
This Energy Ring App Might Be the Best Use of the Galaxy S10's Punch-Hole Camera Yet.
Every time Samsung comes up short, there's a third-party developer ready to step in and push the Galaxy Z Flip series to reach its potential.
Overall, it's a surprisingly well-made app that turns the cover screen of the Z Flip 4 from something extra to a feature with actual utility.
Coverscreen OS makes me excited for the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
CoverScreen OS keeps doing for the Galaxy Flip what Samsung should have done on day one.
Perhaps Samsung needs to integrate CoverScreen OS into the fold completely. It must either become part of Good Lock or the default Flex Window experience.
If you want to bypass Samsung's limitations on the Galaxy Z Flip 5's cover screen, you can just install CoverScreen OS and use any of your favorite apps without opening the phone.
Galaxy Z Flip 4 owners can now get full Android apps on the outer display thanks to CoverScreen OS.
Cover Screen OS simulates a complete secondary OS on your phone's outer display, with its own navigation system. It also lets you open any app on your phone directly from the cover screen.

A handful of Android developers earn this badge across the platform's history. I've held it as jagan2 for over a decade - and the wider community has noticed.
Editorial coverage spans most major Android publications across battery indicators, privacy dots, foldable cover screens, and short-form-video limits.

XDA Recognized Developer jagan2.
Thanks to the developer of Energy Ring and Energy Bar, we can now enjoy a similar feature on Android.
Status Bar is valuable real estate and Energy Bar places a sleek bar on the status bar to indicate the battery level. It is made by the same developer IJP who also made Energy Bar mentioned above.

Makes the best use of Samsung's hole-punch camera.
What makes Energy Ring a nifty app to have is that it removes the need for users to activate their smartphone's screen to find out if they need to charge the device or not.
A free app turns the Pixel 6 series hole-punch camera into a useful tool for users and improves its looks.
Energy Ring offers a neat way to put that obtrusive camera cutout to some good use.
If you are a person who loves customizing your Android device, you would want to have the Energy Ring app in your arsenal.
Energy Ring combines functionality, customization, and style into a single, efficient app.
A new Android app for Mic and Camera notification that works just like much-appreciated iOS 14 notification is a must-install app for Android smartphone users.
While Android 12 may add the feature, XDA Recognized Developer jagan2 has taken it upon himself to bring the iOS-style privacy indicators to any smartphone running Android 7.1.2 and above.
Privacy is always a major concern, especially when there are shady apps out there that like to have constant access to your info. An indicator is better in that it stays on the screen and calls for attention.
Access Dots monitors usage of those sensors and shows an identical glowing dot to iOS 14 when they are in use.
Access Dots is a free application for Google's Android operating system that displays camera and microphone activity indicators on the screen.
This one adds a subtle and colorful indicator to the top of every screen, so it makes keeping track of battery life into a more sophisticated experience.
IJP is a developer on Google Play with some very interesting battery monitor apps. Instead of using up home screen space with a widget, it creates a bar either around your notch (or punch hole front camera) or along the top of your device.
This is a great idea as the combination of short-form video content and endless scrolling can be a major waste of time. So we're glad to see a developer tackle this issue.
Works across multiple apps and has a collective timer, so there's no hopping from one app to another when you've been blocked. Also doesn't block you from using the Instagram side of Instagram or the full-length side of YouTube.
Overall, this is a great app for anyone who wants more control over their Edge Lighting.

Invaluable app. Been using for years.
My favorite and useful app.
So convenient!
Does exactly what it says!
Must-have for Z Flip 3-4.
Works like a charm.
I absolutely love it.
Totally worth it.
Great app!!! Has numerous great responses!
This is brilliant!
CallerFX ID is wow! Thanks for your amazing apps!
Always the 1st thing I install.
Glad to see you're still around and active in the Android scene.
Nicely done. Enjoying the app, so I purchased it. Thank you!
Already using it. Great feature! Loving it. Thank you so much!
Big thanks for this creation. I'm getting my first Flip tomorrow and this looks like an awesome app to use with it.
The cover screen is now useful.
The app is extremely cool and takes lockscreen customisation to a new level.
