Hi, i was wondering if there was a way of changing the led notification colour ? i saw on the android sdk website that there was strings for controlling this but were is the file in the android os ? or is there a file for changing this ?
notification.ledARGB = 0xff00ff00;
notification.ledOnMS = 300;
notification.ledOffMS = 1000;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS;
or is this just strings for creating a application ?
thanks bill.
What I would do, is look through a copy of the Android AOSP source for anything matching those. You might have better luck finding it in the Framework itself, or the phone, e-mail, SMS/MMS, etc.
btw, you can also control the LED's through /sys/class/leds/*/brightness, though I'm not sure it requires root, but I think it can override the charging/low-battery LEDs.
These are "strings for making an application." Change the LED brightness settings listed above for direct control.
Oh rite so if i were looking for those strings in the android os files i wouldnt actually find them ? this would just be used say if i was going to create a application like chomp sms or popup sms. what i was kind of hopeing for is a file i could pull through adb maby changed a few of the settings then re push the file and have a diffrent colour led for that certain notification. Hope that makes sence lol.
Pretty much all the info you need is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4678867
yeah i kinda see what your getting at with that other thread but what i was kind of looking for i gusse is a file that i could just pull from the android system edit a bit, push the file back in and bang diffrent colour led for each notification ect...
why not just get missed call from the market and change the color, blink frequency etc using that program.
I'm guessing this has been asked and answered many times but I couldn't find anything.
Is there anyway to have pictures and calendar use only a single tile instead of two?
Seems like a simple thing, but it would be nice to have the option to control those tiles a bit more.
Thanks
No current option.
The reason for the calender would be it has a lot of info to display on screen I guess, no idea for the pictures tho =P
I really like your idea, it makes a lot of sense. I'd love options like that too; it would optimise screen-space without sacrificing anything about the Metro interface (and if necessary the opacity of the images could be reduced to ensure the calendar text is always readable).
As Steven says though, it's certainly not possible with the current tiles. Some things would be possible with a custom programmed tile, but it wouldn't be perfect:
In theory an app developer could use a 'background agent' (part of an app which can run in the background on your phone every 30 minutes and update the app's tile(s)) to update a tile with a changing background and merge text from the calendar over the top.
Unfortunately in the current version (unless you're Microsoft) background agents aren't allowed to access the media library - i.e. the picture library on your phone (the required developer 'API's XNA.Framework and Media APIs are blocked to developers of background agents). It could, however, use pictures from a web service which would still make for a nice tile. That tile could still launch an app that views your phone's picture library, and I'm pretty sure it could access the Calendar info for display on the tile (The 'Microsoft.Phone.UserData' API required to access Calendar info is not restricted to background agent code).
One big problem with it is developers aren't allowed to create double width tiles. So I can visualise a single tile version of your idea; but even if a two-sided tile is used, the text still might look a bit squashed.
Do you think a single tile version (perhaps two sided) would still be of use? Or is the fact it can't be double width like the current tile probably a 'killer'?

Taskbar puts a start menu and recent apps tray on top of your screen that's accessible at any time, increasing your productivity and turning your Android tablet (or phone) into a real multitasking machine!
On devices running Android 7.0+, Taskbar can also launch apps in freeform windows for a PC-like experience! No root required! (see below for instructions)
Taskbar is also fully supported on Chrome OS - use Taskbar as a secondary Android app launcher on your Chromebook!
Features
• Start menu - shows you all applications installed on the device, configurable as a list or as a grid
• Recent apps tray - shows your most recently used apps and lets you easily switch between them
• Collapsible and hideable - show it when you need it, hide it when you don't
• Many different configuration options - customize Taskbar however you want
• Pin favorite apps or block the ones you don't want to see
• Designed with keyboard and mouse in mind
• 100% free, open source, and no ads
Freeform window mode (Android 7.0+)
Taskbar lets you launch apps in freeform floating windows on Android 7.0+ devices. No root access is required, although Android 8.0+ devices require an adb shell command to be run during initial setup.
Simply follow these steps to configure your device for launching apps in freeform mode:
1. Check the box for "Freeform window support" inside the Taskbar app
2. Follow the directions that appear in the pop-up to enable the proper settings on your device (one-time setup)
3. Go to your device's recent apps page and clear all recent apps
4. Start Taskbar, then select an app to launch it in a freeform window
For more information and detailed instructions, click "Help & instructions for freeform mode" inside the Taskbar app.
Download
• Download Taskbar on the Play Store
• Download Taskbar on F-Droid
It's about time I made an xda thread for this :laugh: Feedback is appreciated!

Good work bro keep it up. Installed it and enjoying the ride as it's great concept as launcher's & dock is useless now . Issues and suggestions Will be post if any.
Thanks for the app.

This is an amazing app whose concept can revolutionize the android experience. With KK I used to download Xposed and install XHaloFloatingWindow and Floating notifications just to mimic a PC desktop. Now I can do something similar with this app and Nougat! Thanks, OP!
It would be great if the Taskbar overlay can support the Extended Desktop feature. I use an unofficial build of LineageOS, and when you open an app in a freeform window, the nav bar appears and it doesn't hide. And when you close all windows, the overlay and the nav bar stay, making it impossible to use, for example, gestures in your home screen. I use Nova Launcher, and in order to open the app drawer, I use a double tap gesture. So I have to go to the Taskbar settings, disable it, and then I can access my app drawer as usual. Is it possible for the overlay to automatically close when there are no freeform windows opened?
Also, is there a way to implement a shortcut to toggle off the taskbar without opening the app? Like greenify hibernation, that can be even set with a gesture in nova.
If the overlay and nav bar issues can be fixed, and we can somehow enable a shortcut use the taskbar whenever we want, this is going to be my favorite app from now on ?
Thanks again, OP. I hope this feedback helps!

Thanks for your feedback!
Unfortunately, due to System UI restrictions that Google has put in place for multi-window mode, hiding the status/navigation bars is not possible while apps are running in freeform mode. What you could do, though, is disable the navigation bar entirely (through build.prop) and then use an app such as Simple Control to provide an alternate implementation of the software keys.
Taskbar staying open even after all freeform mode windows have been closed is by design. If it's not set as your default launcher, though, you can still press the home button to collapse Taskbar and exit freeform mode. (You're not the only one that has asked about this, so I might make this an option in a future version )
You can already turn off the Taskbar by either: pressing the "Quit" button in the notification, or by long-pressing the app drawer icon and selecting "Quit". I already have a "Start Taskbar" homescreen shortcut for Android 7.1+ devices - perhaps I should change this to an on/off toggle instead?

Perfect, I'll use a third-party nav bar instead, I forgot it was possible to disable the system one via build.prop.

A toggle is a great idea, and if in the future it's possible to add support so it can be set with a Nova gesture or a similar app, we won't need a dock anymore ?
Another thing I saw while checking the app was that when you move any window to one side of the screen it automatically pins like in split mode. Is there a way to avoid this? I'm not completely sure, but through the developer options it was possible to disable this. However, I cannot find it anymore.

I was using this wonderful app for awhile as my main launcher. The problem I ran into was Hangouts Dialer wouldn't launch with this app installed. Think it was some issue with drawing on top conflicting.

No it's not possible to disable that. It's built-in behavior of Android.

I tested the new version and it works with Hangouts Dialer. Issue now is my power button doesn't work with Taskbar as home launcher. If I enter an app it works fine but on the homescreen it doesn't. If my phone falls asleep on homescreen, I can't turn it back on without rebooting.

The power button issue is a ROM-specific bug that has been reported on OnePlus devices, and also devices running CyanogenMod/Lineage OS. It's an issue with freeform mode itself, unfortunately, and not with Taskbar.

I am using a CM based rom. I will turn off freeform.
--Feature request--
Please add an option to disable the start button entirely so it can be used purely as a system wide dock or resents bar only.
Please add icon spacing options so we can centre icons etc when using the "fill white space" option. either manual padding or various presets. also aligning them left/centre/right would be nice also.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
Also, any thoughts to a Kitkat compatible version? We don't need free-form windows, but surely the overlay taskbar would work just fine on kitkat. I ask because Taskbar is extremely useful for tablets, yet most tablets are still running pre-lollipp android versions.

Assuming you're talking about the navigation bar icons, yes, more customization options for them is something I plan on adding.
As for compatibility with Android 4.x devices, this is something I have actually investigated adding before. There are a few issues with adding support for 4.x, though, that I would have to work around before I consider supporting those versions:
The app is pretty tightly built around APIs that were only added in 5.0, such as UsageStatsManager and LauncherApps
The app also takes advantage of the Material theme for context menus, and I have not been able to get the context menus to look correct on Android 4.x devices using AppCompat
More testing would be involved on my end if I were to support 4.x devices in addition to 5.0+

Understood. I'll keep my fingers crossed. It's the one thing I'm missing from my kitkat tablet to make it truly awesome.

Fantastic app( but for nougat only...I am talking about freeform). It needs the following two features and it will be unbeatable:
1. Option to open notifications in freeform/floating like hover or halo and
2. All the features working below nougat(at least lollipop)also. Thanks for reading.
Is it possible to trigger the taskbar with on screen navbar? Maybe with tasker and custom navbar app?
Excellent app - restored a better version of windows than were on my Lenovo Yoga Book. If I click on the maximise window button so that it fills the screen, I can't see a way to rewindow the same app?
is there any hope of getting live wallpaper support added to this app?
I would absolutely adore the ability to use this as my Launcher with KLWP.
But I don't know if that is even possible... :/
I know this thread is pretty old now, but not sure where else to put this.
With taskbar installed as a system app, it's possible to have it detect only the running apps (found this out thanks to bliss OS), however, i am unable to get a list of running apps on Android 9 MIUI 10, it just remains blank, is this a bug in the app, or an issue with MIUI (rooted with magisk, app has been manually moved into /system/app)
Loved the Edge Panel From Samsung S8, S7, Note 8 then This app is for You. It Don't Require Root For getting this Feature.
Edge Screen, the free sidebar app, comes with a clean and neat design and the interface is so user-friendly that doesn’t take a genius to figure out the whole idea. You just need to grant the required permissions, customize the edge panels, and access your favorite apps, toggle system settings, a music player and a lot more by launching different side panels.
Here is the list of available edge screens that you can have access from anywhere:
》App Edge: Add your favorite and most-used application in the sidebar panel and open them by just sliding to open the Add Edge panel.
》People Edge: How do you usually call or send a message to your frequent contacts? How about adding them to the People Edge panel and access to them from virtually anywhere?
》Quick Tools: Your phone is too big to open the notification panel with one hand? Well, try toggling system settings from the sidebar app.
》Soft Keys: The physical buttons of your Android phone are not working smoothly? Well, the Soft Keys panel provides you with software buttons that function as Home, Back, Recent Apps, and power buttons.
》Calendar: Your meetings, event, and appointments have never been easier to access the Calendar panel.
》Call Log: This edge panel lets you have access to your call logs and manage your call history from the edge panel.
》Edge Music Player: Can you think of the coolest and easiest way to control the playing music? Well, let’s try the edge music player feature.
》Edge Screen also enables you to easily take a screenshot and access your files and folders from the edge panels.

A (for me) essential feature is switching between output device (speakers, headphones) from the volume panel.
Is there a way you could add this?

Dude that's awesome! I guess the updated was a bit delayed, because I installed the app after you said you updated it, but only got the update now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway, this is exactly what I was looking for! Behaves just like on OOS, even better that AOSP 10! Huge Props!
(the label my fourth output device is a bit cut off at the buttom though)
Works really well

Glad to hear! I'll make the list scrollable.
This was exactly what I was looking for my wife's phone as she dropt hers and bent volume buttons and she cant do anything to up or down volume.
When I found this I was like i just hope it works.
And it does perfectly thank you great app
very great app this was exactly what I was looking for too.
This is a wonderful article, given so much info in it.
THANK YOU, TREYDEV!!!! perfect! (almost!)

I like this opinion. complete no frills.
a problem i have with the app is that since theirs only a vertical position slider it only sets the vertical position but as soon as i go landscape the volume slider is hidden of the screen because theirs no way to set the horizontal position, im using android 11
Works great
