Installation
The app need an
accessibility service to be active, so it can capture device incoming
notifications. Therefore you’ll need to turn on NiLS service on Android
Accessibility Services.
Run the app wizard and follow instructions:
Step 1 – Enable NiLS accessibility service.
Step 2 – Add the widget to your lock screen.
Step 3 – Customize the look & feel of the widget.
If
you don’t have Android 4.2 you’ll have to use WidgetLocker lock screen
replacement app (paid app unaffiliated with Roymam). See WidgetLocker
app description to learn how to use it.
FAQ
Why does the device start speaking to me after enabling NiLS service?
Samsung
phones have a known issue with speak engine that start speaking when
accessibility services are enabled. To get rid of it – go the Android
Apps settings –> All Apps -> Samsung TTS engine -> Disable.
Samsung
S4 Hack Install 3rd part TTS Engine like "Classic Text-to-Speech", DO
NOT install any language pack, then change it to be your default TTS
engine on Android Device Settings -> Language and Input ->
Text-to-speech output
Why do I get a warning saying that this app collects my passwords and credit card numbers?
This
is a standard Android warning for every accessibility service, but you
have nothing to worry about – this app doesn’t do anything evil, it’s
open-source and you can browse the code yourself to see it. It even
doesn’t have internet permissions, so it can’t send data anywhere.
Why do the notifications not clear from the status bar when I clear it from the widget?
Unfortunately Android doesn’t allow apps to clear notifications of other apps.
Why can’t I use swipe gestured to dismiss a notification?
Unfortunately Android doesn’t allow widgets to use swipe gestures.
