Desktop Visualizer Question - Android Apps and Games

Hey everyone. I am using LauncherPro + on my DInc and I recently grabbed Desktop Visualizer and started tinkering with it. My design right now has text icons I placed as Widgets (small) on the homescreen. However when I select one of those widgets I get an orange glow around the size of the widget which is very annoying and throws everything off because I do not have any orange anywhere. I found in the Preferences where you can change the color of an icon that is focused and I changed both the focus and Pressed to black but the box around the widget is still orange. Regular Icons that I add as Shortcuts->Applications are black (the color I set) but these widgets do not change. Is it Desktop Visualizer or is it Launcher Pro +? Any ideas? Thanks

Desktop Visualizer
When you're creating your widget in DV scroll to the bottom after picking your Icon and what it Launches
If you don't want it to label your widget for you - delete what's in the Label spot
To change the color when you touch it - all the way at the bottom is Touch Effect (it defaults to Orange - the button even says that) click on the button and choose Orange, Light Blue, Green, or None (I always pick none)

[REQ] bg image instead of opaque when using slider?

Hi,
Is it possible to change sense such that when you use the manilla slider, instead of the dark opaque screen you are at with the icon of where the slider is, to have the home backround, empty, with just the icon of the slider position?
I don't know if this makes sense, if not I can try to make a screenshot with this idea when I get home today.

[Q] Green screen with Term

Hello
I flashed this ROM ([ROM][23DEC]CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN v.4 Ult.+Franco Kernel 08.12|CM7 1.0.1|Lightning FAST!) on my i9020T and i love it. I have been using it for a week or so. Just now i was installing some new apps and games, rearranging icons on my home screens and messing about.
There was a shortcut on my homescren called Term. I changed my screen to a green colour, and was going to move the Term icon to another homescreen but instead I dropped the icon in the trash bin Now I am stuck with a nice green screen
(How) can I change back to normal colour temperature?
edit. phew...I found it under the RenderFX Widget

Homescreen icon change on notification

Hi!
Just wondering...
Using Nova launcher and it shows notification count on each icon, if there is such notification.
BUT - would be it possible to make, that: let's say - all icons on homescreen are white, but if there is some notification pending in that app, than icon is, for example, red... No bagdes, no counts, just color of icon is changing.
Thanks,
Martin

Install the Rom:
Get Gapps
(e.g. OpenGapps,
ATM I`m using OpenGapps, but of course other gapps packages will work, too.
Get get the latest SuperSU:
[STABLE][2016.07.05] SuperSU v2.76 by Chainfire
For secondary rom installations via MultiRom! :
Force system mode installation, ("MultiRom and root")
Copy the Rom-Zip, Gapps and SuperSu to your SD-Card,
Flash zips in recovery
Boot the rom, and go to SuperSu:
Go to settings -> "Install SuperSu backup script"
This is only available in system mode!
Next rom update, you only have to flash the rom itself
Update the Rom (from alpha/beta/release):
Flash the rom using Non-Wipe
With systemless root mode you have to reflash at least SuperSU!
I didn`t tested the update process with systemless root!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Gapps:
Take care which Gapps package you install,
especially on small Gapps packages, (micro, nana, ...)
some features of this rom wont be available,
some Gapps packages offering a configuration to
not install some Google apps/features, this could also
result in same "problems" as using a to small Gapps packages.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
MultiRom and root:
As I use system root mode,
and for me there is no reason to
use systemless root mode, (for now),
I can`t give any Support for systemless root mode
To force the SuperSU installation in system mode, flash:
(before flashing the SuperSU zip)
SuperSU_force_system_mode
To force the SuperSU installation in systemless mode flash:
(before flashing the SuperSU zip)
SuperSU_force_systemless_mode
Primary rom installations, (or without Multirom):
Possibly SuperSU will be installed in systemless mode,
so you have to force system mode if you don`t want to use the systemless mode.
Secondary rom installations:
SuperSU will be "installed" in systemless mode,
but SuperSU isn`t installed (or disabled and hidden),
also root isn`t working at all.
There are 2 possibilities to "install" DarkKat as secondary rom with working root:
System mode:
force the SuperSU installation in system mode
Systemless mode:
(tested on the Nexus 6 only, but should work on other devices, too)
Install DarkKat as primary rom,
and force the SuperSU installation in systemless mode:
Create a backup, and add a secondary rom from backup,
(tested)
Use MultiRoms swap rom feature,
(untested)

20151208;
Initial release, (see changes on post #1)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Requirements:
A fast desktop CPU, (or a very fast mobile CPU, better use a PC)
Enough RAM, (8 - 16 GB)
A up to date Linux, (I use Ubuntu 14.04, works with other distros, too, but maybe you have to make some changes to the commands)
A working Build Environment, (here is a guide how to set up a Build Environment on Ubuntu)
(needed steps till "Identify Yourself to the Repo")
Of course it`ll work on slow hardware, too,
but it takes a lot more time.
Create working directory and init repo:
Code:
mkdir ~/Android/Darkkat
(you can use any directory name and path you like, but you have to change the commands to match to your local path)
Code:
cd ~/Android/Darkkat
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/XXMrHyde/android.git -b darkkat-6.0
Sync the repo:
Code:
cd ~/Android/Darkkat && repo sync
(now it`s time to drink a big cup of coffee, tea, or ... this can take some time)
Setting up ccache, (optional):
I recommend to use ccache,
if you have enough free space on your SSD/HDD, (about 50 GB).
Using ccache will speed up the building times,
(first build will take longer, because the cchache will be created).
For me, (clean build)
first build/without ccache:
about 45 - 55 minutes
following builds, with ccache:
about 10 - 17 minutes
Code:
gedit .bashrc
and add this line to the bottom:
Code:
export USE_CCACHE=1
the default ccache directory is located at the root of your home directory,
if you like a different location add this line, too;
Code:
export CCACHE_DIR=<path-to-your-cache-directory>
Now run the following command:
Code:
~/Android/Darkkat/prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
Build the rom:
Code:
cd ~/Android/Darkkat && . build/envsetup.sh && brunch hammerhead
(time for the next big cup of coffee, ...)
That`s it,
you (hopefully) compiled successfully your own DarkKat rom
Update the sources:
Code:
cd ~/Android/Darkkat && repo sync
(this time it doesn`t take much time)
Now build again,
(if there are a lot of sourcecode changes, or your last build is some times ago you may need to clean your "out" directory):
Code:
cd ~/Android/Darkkat && . build/envsetup.sh && make clobber
Thanks...always liked work. Will flash & let you know how it goes...
Thanks again.
I think the wrong md5 hash is provided for the 12/08/2015. I got:
d1a88ab72f2bc2641a3b991283442bce
I checked my local zip, md5 hash is: 4a57762b76e723889c389e31a4d97a71
and also downloaded the zip and checked again, md5 hash is 4a57762b76e723889c389e31a4d97a71, too.
I recommend to download the zip again.

Redownloaded, matched the second time. Nice ROM so far, going to run it today and report back. Thanks.
Will give it a try too!
Great so far...no issues at all for me....
Thanks for you efforts...
Edit: OK..seems to an intermittent issue with status bar display. No big deal, but on the home screen the status bar shows my battery at 27%. However, when I use the pulldown menu it reports 83% (the correct value). As I said, this is an intermittent problem, sometimes it's OK.
Cheers.
Is the "privacy guard" included?
Support "long-press-button-custumizing?
No only the default AOSP App permissions.
No, navigation bar customizations are not included, but will be in the future.

or we can use xposed
What is V4A?
Possibly xposed will work (in this case), but be careful, this rom isn't made to work with xposed.

Installation:
Take a look at the updated installation instructions at post #2,
(especially "Gapps" and "Root")
Some infos about this Update:
ALPHA/BETA/RELEASE builds:
In general, all builds are comming with the RELEASE tag
(in the rom name), but I wont mention the RELEASE tag,
but if the rom is a ALPHA/BETA build,
mostly on major Android version updates, 5 -> 6,
(possibly 6.0 -> 6.1) and/or the roms additional features are in
ALPHA/BETA stage, (which is the case with first builds on new Android versions),
I`ll mention the ALPHA/BETA stage of the rom.
Lock sreen shortcuts, (default at the bottom):
Related to the installed Gapps package,
the left shortcut, (phone or voice assist)
is possibly always hidden, even if the device supports phone calls.
I have to take a deeper look into it,
to fix the phone shortcut on devices with phone calls support,
if the used Gapps package doesn`t include the needed files for the voice assist.
And also fix the available shortcuts at Settings.

Updated the Installation instructions, (again),
related to secondary rom installations via MultiRom,
sorry about this.
Thanks for the update...loved this ROM from way back...
Thanks again.
Got around to trying the latest earlier this morning. Good will report back if I see any issues, but none so far, pretty snappy ROM too.

SymetiumOS

i hired a freelancer recently to develop a launcher for me based on my symetiumos part of my symetium project www.facebook.com/symetium we used a service called upwork and suddenly he wanted me to pay through western union which is against upwork policies i said i wanted to use upwork so he begun making threats that he would sell my work and release the launcher himself unless i pay him 600 dollars on paypal whithin 2 days upwork specialists are escalating it, so now i am posting about it then again most of this of was already public to begin with ere is a full list of symetiumos and it's features, i wasn't sure on sharing it here as i have no idea what people would think about it as the os is very inconventional, the launcher is a small part of the os itself, do note that i update this list pretty often, i came up with these features myself but i wouldn't be suprised if alot of them already exist this is an operating system of android to turn android into a pc operating system this has been done many times but this is my take on it (i've worked on it for years way before remixos existed for example) for example the navigationbar method is gone unless you enable it, default it uses the same method a pc uses to close an app you press x to minimize you press minimize to resize you press resize, theres no back buttons on pc so why should phones have them? most apps also have their own back buttons now, this is as far away from android as possible as android is used as a base thats it, originally it was supposed to use linux until i realized a phone was able to handle everything i wanted in this os, i am having a rom made now of this os but so far i've heard nothing from that freelancer he gurantees he can do it and he keeps delaying saying he will show me later so i don't hold much hope there.

Code:
----------------------------------------------------------Symetium OS Features------------------------------------------------------
1.minimizing apps will make them appear at the side then fade/swipe away swipe to reveal the apps or move the cursor there
2.app Icons will Group under one Icon in the notifications bar (settings preference) (pressing the icon with a cursor will open the mousefriendly notificationdropdown)
if you swipe on the right side or move with the cursor Icons will appear each Icon is a category under Music goes Music files including Music apps it's a appdrawer/file Explorer/album viewer (swiping on these icons will reveal space for any icons you want) (these icons can also be at the bottom depending on preference or at the top)
3.pressing the settings Icon will show the settings menu and Tools related apps such as calculator etc
4.moving the cursor in the corner of the screen will reveal a circle pressing the circle will open a app drawer for mouseuse this appdrawer also has a searchbar for searching apps or even files, you can also set favorites to appear
5.when dragging down the dropdown menu the background will go blurry if set, all Icons are White and the text is White (as discussed the background can be adjusted through a setting such as blur strenght/transparancy or even a solid color (same applies for window borders) it can also be made to look like stock android if the user prefers.
6. you can enable to hide the NO SIMCARD Icon in the notificationsbar (see additional ideas for more information)
7.you can enable to hide the signalinformation unless it gets bad (not important to include, same applies for battery (see additional ideas for more information)
8.you can move apps around as windows, pushing the app at the top will snap it and maximize it once maximized the top border will show then go away (swipe to reveal it) just like when you play a game or look at a photo) dragging the app window to the bottom will make it red or fade, letting go of it will Close it
9. lockscreen has a Power and restart button, middle button on lockscreen is an arrow, pressing it will reveal set apps such as camera,flashlight etc (any app or button the user wants to add)
10.after inacitivity Everything will fade away leaving only the wallpaper i call this dynamic screensaver (not important to include)
11.another idea i had was adding the phone dialer inside the dropdown menu if you press the phone Icon same with things such as calculator or remote Control for tv
12.as mentiond add an option to revert to stock android in looks (without resetting files or the phone or anything) through an easy setting.
13.apps will run in the background like on a pc, if you have a youtube video playing and you minimize it will continue playing just like on a pc
14.when mhl/usb type c cable has been connected a dialog will pop up asking to select between two 3 modes 1.normal 2.pc mode 3.tv mode
15.add option to enable hotspot disconnect when not charging (hotspot will disable when the charger is removed to prevent draining) (dialog will show in notifications that hotspot is disabled to prevent powerdrain press to enable)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
clarification of adjusting of transparancy,blur strenght,color for borders,notification dropdown menu (this does not apply for the notificationbar unless you can add an option to change each one individually such as notificationdropdown big and small,notificationbar,window borders, category appdrawer background)
transparency (slider)
blur strenght (slider)
color rgb slider and default preset colors
hide (will grey out the sliders)
autoset (this would change the color of all layers depending on wallpaper just like windows does IF POSSIBLE) (slider preferences won't be changed only the color) (this feature can be skipped)
--------------------------------------------------Not very important---------------------------------------------------
14.integrate internet radio based on any internet radio app such as tunein (this would be integrated in the notification dropdown menu when pressing the audio icon)
15.integrate music detection based on any app such as shazam (double tap volume button or press the volume button in the notification dropdown to open the audiomenu) and have a silent detection in the bakground to then notify of which song it is)
16.cursor will be blurry or transparent (option to adjust transparancy,blur strenght as the layers would be great but can be skipped)
17.password protection for turning off the device and for folders if set
18. seperate dpi settings for both mobile and desktop mode aswell as tv mode for example desktop mode is smaller than mobile mode (android n already has dpi settings) (if pc mode is selected then the phone will turn into a touchpad and a keyboard)(keyboard when needed and touchpad at all times)
------------------------------------------------More additional ideas for later ----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. tv mode this would slightly change the ui for tvuse but this can be discussed later
2.when the phone detects usage (activity on the screen) it will display a message during a call rather than ring or vibrate (not important to include)
3.marking or holding on a file or an app on the desktop/homescreen will show a context menu automatically much like nova launcher does
move to (each category for the sidebar,documents,videos,music,tools etc etc)
remove
rename
when you physically move the file or the app the context menu will fade away
4.the keyboard will be transparent and can be moved around like any other window, same layer options apply (not important)
5.when the phone detects a bigger screen it will turn into a touchpad and keyboard (when needed) manually starting this would also work (not important and can be skipped)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 8: 6. pinning windows
lock icon in the top bar to freeze an app on the screen both in windowed or fullscreen, for example you can freeze a small movie playing in the corner and it will be like picture in picture ontop of everything, the app will not stay at the top in fullscreen to allow work ontop of the app, when pressing the lock in fullscreen control to the app will be lost the app itself will still be active, essentially turning it into a wallpaper,pressing the home/desktop button will not get rid of the app, dragging/pulling at the top or moving the cursor to the top will reveal buttons to unlock control of the app, in windowed, pressing inside the app will give back control of the app, pressing outside the app will remove control again until unlocked.
(UNCERTAIN IDEA: lock feature only works with the mouse cursor and will not show if a cursor isn't near it)
UNCERTAIN IDEA:settings menu to turn off smart windwow lock in desktop or mobile use this is useful for tablets where smart window lock is useful rather than on a smaller screen when smartlock in mobile is turned off it will only function in fullscreen mode meaning you can drag down the top bar press the lock to lock controls out of the app essentially making it the wallpaper.
