Apple, in its typical fashion, has yet again started a new trend. This time around with its new Dynamic Island
While it might still be a while before we could give the previously covered Grumpy UI for Xiaomi’s Android platform or see what Realme has in store for theirs, there is already an app which you could try out if you wish to have a Dynamic Island-like experience on your Android phone. The app in question is dynamicSpot, which is reportedly developed by a lone indie developer and XDA community member Jawamo.
As you’d expect, the app adds Dynamic Island-like functionalities to any Android phone, complete with the ability to “hide” the cutouts with a pill-shaped black bar. Jawamo even added in a settings page on dynamicSpot which allows you to manually reposition the bar to a more desired location, as punch-holes on certain devices tend to be situated differently. On that note, the bar is located centred on top of the screen and will even hide itself when there’s no notifications available.
In our test, the feature works as intended – notifying users of new messages or special events, such as low battery percentage and so on. Tapping on app icons that appear on the bar will launch the respective apps, while a long press will enlarge the bar to display newly received messages and so on. While Jawamo promised that dynamicSpot also comes with the ability to control music playback, we couldn’t find a way to activate this when using the phone’s native music player or Spotify.
Besides that, the app also provides some customisation options such as allowing you to dictate which app can activate the pop-up, as well as deciding whether you want to have more than one notification to appear on the bar. There’s also the option to display battery percentage, as well as the ability to notify you via the bar when your device is fully charged or, as we mentioned earlier, low on power..
