Current Version: 1.8
Requires Android: Varies with device
Category: Tools
v1.8 update:
- Major redesign on Peek’s look and feel: New graphics, better interaction, more relevant information, sleeker animations. You’ll love it.
- Wallpaper blur is now more efficient and better looking.
- Removed leading zero for 12 hours clock.
- Fixed lockscreen being displayed a brief amount of time before showing Peek.
- Added partners section. Check it out to see the big minds behind Peek’s UI and UX.
Overview:
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-This application was successfully tested on stock Android 4.4 and AOSP based 4.4 ROMs, on multiple Nexus devices (including tablets) and Oppo Find 7a.
- Internet permission is used for bug catching.
This application is a complete redesign of the known “Peek” feature by ParanoidAndroid project, built to work on any 4.4+ ROM. The whole concept lies into allowing users to quickly interact with their notifications, without having to press any button. The new design includes sharper typography, nicer placement of the items, breathtaking new effects and extended functionality (including blacklist). It works on secure locked devices, with the ability to customize what information to show.
How peek works:
When you receive a notification, and screen is off, peek will start polling your sensors. If some movement is detected on your device (either it was on a table and you lifted it, or it was in your pocket and you got it out), peek will show. Sensors will be polled for 10 seconds (by default, customizable) and then it stops doing so, to save battery. It is not possible to simulate the behavior of devices like the Moto X, without affecting battery, since they have special hardware for the task.
