HTC One M8’s Motion Launch Feature on Other Android Phones
We have talked about some of the smartphones which has a unique features. We have seen many such posts. Also with the help of developers now you can install a unique feature of one smartphone into another. Now lets come to the point. HTC One 8 has one unique feature, which is called Motion launcher. Motion launcher is a gesture based lockscreen which performs certain tasks with simple gesture. You must be thinking, how. Lets see an example;
When a phone rings, simply put the phone to your ear to answer a call, another example would be, access apps with a single swipe, double tap the screen to wake up your phone or to check the time, weather and reminders.
This feature was limited to HTC One 8, but now you can enjoy this feature on your Android smartphone, using the app Knockr. You can perform tasks and allow launching of apps with simple gestures even when your phone is in sleep mode. It supports various gestures such as double tap on the screen, swiping (up/down/left/right), and long press the screen, and press the volume up key. You can define these gestures to launch apps of your choosing or unlocking the screen.
Since this is a gesture based app, it will work on those smartphones which are meant for OLED device, such as Galaxy S4, S5, Moto X, etc. This is because the app keeps the screen “always on” state to accept touch input. For OLED devices, this is not an issue, because black pixel requires no power, so when the whole screen is black the screen is turned off.
What are you thinking of friends, if you own an OLED device, just go for it. I tried it and it works so well. The screenshot displayed above is taken from my Galaxy S4.
Install Knockr for Android
Cheers!!!
