Hi,
This is my first Android app, NBLauncher. It's a simple app that let you add shortcuts to apps as buttons in the notification bar (expanded view), so you can quickly launch an app from anywhere (as long as you have access to the notification bar). I've seen similar apps on the Android market, but I haven't seen one that uses multiple buttons/apps on the same notification line. NBLauncher currently allows a maximum of 15 buttons (three lines of five). After installing, launch NBLauncher from app drawer to configure what apps you want to add to notification bar. Use the up/down arrows to rearrange the order of the buttons. Make sure to click "Done" when exiting. You'll then see the NBLauncher icon on the notification bar. Pull down the notification and you'll see the buttons to launch your app. It also saves the list of apps so you when reboot the phone, it auto-starts with your configured list.
Two minor things that I haven't figure out. Maybe you guys could help.
1. Each notification line requires it's own notification icon in the bar. So if there are three lines of buttons, there will be three separate icons. I have made only one visible and the others invisible, but I have no idea how to get rid of the invisible icons while keeping the notification. Any ideas?
2. During installation of the app, Android lists accessing phone book/contact as one of the things that the app does. But I am not touching the phone book or any contact info. How can this be? How does it determine what an app could do? Based on permission? This obviously has an negative effect of scaring people away from the app
Feed backs and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
can you give us a little screenshots before we give it a go?..
Nice, I like it, much better then App Launcher, which costs $2 right now.
I couldn't find it in the Market though, did you pull it?
Only complaint so far is that it doesn't play well with lcd density changes. I'm set at 161, so the UI is a little cramped when setting up, but the launcher in the notification tray scales perfectly and looks good. There are several market apps that don't scale well with density changes, so it's not even that big of a deal. Spare Parts, MixZing, Mint.com, and Shazam don't either, just to name a few.

If minSdkVersion is not set in AndroidManifest.xml, it assumes a minimum version of 1. In the SDK version 4(ish?), a few new permissions were added, so if minSdkVersion is below that, those permissions are included whether you need them or not. Read Phone State was among these.
TopShelf10,
I only tested the app on Droid X (my phone) and Evo 4G. Haven't test it on Samsung Galaxy series yet. I noticed button events in the notification view behave differently on Droid X and Evo 4G, so I had to code around it. I guess it's different again on the Galaxy phones. I'll need to get my hands on a Galaxy phone

Sure. As long as you site the source and keep me updated on any findings so I can update my app accordingly.
To be more specific, I think the problem is how button events/intents are handled vs. default intent of the notification content view. I'll try to post some code when I get home.

it creates a condensed button layout (5 shortcut buttons per row/item slot) as opposed to cluttering your notification menu with several ongoing items (one slot per item)....plus it has a nice look to it

I think I am really going to like this app. Works great on my rooted Incredible. Any chance you could add an option to hide the icon in the Notification Bar?
Edit: Thought I would mention that I'm running a ROM using the EVO framework. So I couldn't tell ya if it'll work on a stock HTC Incredible.
Well this looks great, just installed it. It doesn't work though. I press on an app, it seems to highlight, then the notification bar just closes.... Any help?

HomeSmack allows you to change your default Home or default Long-search app. It's similar to Home Switcher or Home Manager, but uses a method of selecting the default that works well with Android 2.2.
HomeSmack also has some special Motoblur features (that need more testing, hence posting to the Droid X subforum)! On rooted phones it lets you change the double-tap app to any app on your phone (QuickDesk or Powerstrip!) and it lets you install a patched VoiceSearch APK that:
1) Sends the standard android SEARCH_LONG_PRESS intent letting you select any normal long-search app.
2) Still lets you select VoiceSearch as the long_search app or use it normally from Launcher
3) Patches the security flaw noted here (http://www.androidcentral.com/droid-2-bug-allows-anyone-make-calls-passcode-screen)
1.0
Renamed package to com.teslacoilsw.homesmack and posted to Market
beta3
• Allows you to chose "Nothing" for double-tap
• If VoiceSearch is not installed it will prompt you to install the hacked version (no need to install it to /system)

Rooted 2.2 Droid X user here...
I really appreciate the effort you are putting into fixing this issue us Droid X/2 users have been having. I have really missed Quickdesk.
That being said, this isn't working for me. Here is my issue:
Setting QuickDesk as my double-tap action works when I'm on my home screen. However, if I am in an app, double-tap home brings me to the home screen, quickly brings up QuickDesk, and then quickly closes it so I'm just looking at my home screen. This happens both with QuickDesk set as my default home, and with Launcher Pro set as my default home.
I'd be happy to give you any extra info you need to fix this issue because I really want this feature to work
Edit: I dunno if this is possible or not, but maybe an option to make the home double tap do nothing, so QuickDesk can just do its thing like on other phones?

This would be my request also.
I'm not on BlurHome any longer. Running Rubix 1.6, but I missed the DoubleTapHome option. (doesn't work at all in Blur-less ROMS).
Downloaded this app and it does give me that capability back. Just wanted to confirm that this cool little app has functionality for people not on Blur!
Wow! What a wonderful little piece of hackery! Thank you for helping me love my Droid X just a little bit more ... great work!
Two things:
When you replace the long search with a different app (I chose PowerStrip) It takes a while for it to respond.
When changing the double tap... it took FOREVER for the menu to come up with the list of apps/activities to choose from.
But it DO work... and I will be using it.
**Edit** - #1 seems to be pretty responsive now... I guess it was the initial opening of PowerStrip
Working long press search on my droid x! This is amazing. Thanks
One note: app seems to be a tiny bit buggy when selecting which app longsearch should open. After I set it, it resets itself a few times but eventually it sticks.
Using ADW on DroidX 2.2, When I'm in an App, say, the Browser, when I double tap it just takes me back home instead of to Quick Desk. The only way I can get to Quick Desk is if I'm already on the homescreen, which is kinda defeating the purpose of quick desk.
Thanks for trying though! Keep at it

Same issue here
I'm using Rubix 1.6 and my DoubleTap is set to 'Phone' (Dialer).
I went into Opera Mini and a couple of other Apps and double tapped and it took me into the dialer just fine.
Your issue may be related to Quick Desk?
Droid X
It is a great concept, but long pressing search doesnt work on Droid x and the double tap takes me right back to the home screen and then pulls quickdesk up.

Longpress search works fine for me. For double tap, you have to go into QD prefs and increase the double tap time from 300ms to higher. I use 700. Then it works great. The physical buttons seem to have trouble recognizing multiple clicks in quick succession. Tap, wait a short while, tap again. Tapping twice immediately wont work, or at least that's my experience on my dx.

If you are running a custom ROM, then you may not have Voice Search installed.
Go download Voice Search (From Google) from the market. Then longpress search should work

I had this problem. What weirdly worked for me was: download the hacked voice search through the app, then run it directly from your launcher. Then, in the homesmack app, launch the app you want to run via search long click, then click that RV notification in your notification bar to return to homesmack, the use the button on the bottom to set the default long search action. I'm running gesture bar just fine on my droid x using Long click search now!

One of my pet peeves with my phone. Wow! Works perfectly. Thank you!
This is a modified version of the Infuse TouchWiz launcher. Thought I would throw this together for you guys since I saw a couple people mention it.
Features:
-5 column app drawer
-Transparent app drawer background
-No colored icon backdrops in the app drawer
-No icon label backgrounds (Galaxy S II style)
-Removed "Press and hold this page to add content" from empty pages
Update (5/18/2011)
-Fixed alphabetical app drawer style only showing 16 icons per page
-Reverted to default fade animation for the app drawer (the new animation was causing odd behavior)
-Made the app drawer background slightly less transparent (so app names are easier to read)
-Removed icon label backgrounds (Galaxy S II style)
Instructions:
Warning: If you're not familiar with adb, you should install another launcher prior to installing this in case something goes wrong.
1. I recommend using Root Explorer for this process, but if you're an experienced user then you can probably think of several other methods.
2. In /system/app, rename TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and TouchWiz30Launcher.odex to TouchWiz30Launcher.apk.bak and TouchWiz30Launcher.odex.bak.
3. Copy this new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk into /system/app.
4. Set permissions of the new TouchWiz30Launcher.apk to rw-r--r--.
5. You may need to reboot, but probably not.
I do this for fun so you shouldn't feel any obligation to donate, but here's a link if you want to. Donations of any amount are very much appreciated.

im on it. you are the best!
edit: done and working! looks way less cheesy than before. now i dont care for the 5icon docks, if i did id use launcher pro. but i was wondering if the 5x5 home screen view from the tab could work? that is not as important as what you already did though. i am super happy about the backdrops being gone and things being a more reasonable size. the icons dont look so offensive on the home screen in 4x4 but i though 5x5 would fit a bit better.
edit: ok one slight visual bug. on the flyin animation the 5 column seems to be doing what the center column should. it is like the 1-4 columns make a semetrical pattern and then the last on one the right just moves on a vertica plane. not sure if you can fix that but im letting you know.
Is there anyway that I can edit it? I want to play with it so that to maybe get some experience.
TwLauncher is unusable for me until A.) it has a 5 icon dock, and B.) I can move the drawer launcher off the far right icon.

can't help you with the 5 icon dock, but i think you can move the drawer launcher by: opening your drawer > menu > view type > customizable grid > menu again > edit > then you can tap and hold to drag around the app icons, including those on the launcher tray
i don't have the device, but those are the steps i saw on a pocketnow video
look in the i9000 section and pull there launchers over. gtg465 has been at this for a while. i requested the 5 icons in thedrawer because it just looked wrong to me. the 5 icon dock with centered app drawer was done a long time ago and con be found in older version of gtg's launcher for 2.2.1.
you may want to look at launcher pro or adw or go launcher but it breaks the samsung widgets if you dont have touch wiz.

what happened? what's a "user in the file" did you somehow wind up without a launcher? you didnt turn the phone off did you? if you long press home do your recent apps pop up?
if you are without a launcher and the phone freezes after the bootanimation but does not bootloop too rapidely there may be hope. you can often still adb into the phone. provided you have the phone set for debugging mode. im not sure the phone is set for debugging in recovery but that would be even better.
pm me with more details ther emay be a few ways to approach this.

Guess you didn't heed my warning in the first post. Here are the adb commands to set permissions:
adb shell
mount /system
chmod 0644 /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
exit
adb reboot
If it says permission denied at some point you need to run the su command after adb shell and accept the Superuser prompt on your phone.
edit: Sounds like you figured it out. Good to hear.

Based on the number of downloads of the latest version alone, I would say at least 30 people have tried it and only one has had trouble.

Very nicely implemented, love the swipeable list at the top.
I often end up adding long lists of numbers, so it's important to see that they are all there
However, if you add a really long list, more than one row of numbers, you can't see clearly the number that you are inputting. Could that box resize automatically - or better, show just the last row inputted as well as the latest number?

Very impressive app. Thank you for making it and great eye for aesthetics!
A bug I am having on my device: (CM7, 800x480, default DPI, Droid Sans changed to the Roboto font that was extracted from ICS)

Thank you very much for the comments, feedback, and screenshots!
The text cut-off on 480x800 devices should be fixed by this weekend. The emulator shows it looking totally fine, and the SGS2 we test it on looks good (though other SGS2 owners have told us of the same issue).
Thanks a lot for all the help, I hope the app comes in useful for you.

Do you mean on the main calculator screen? (i.e. when doing a function like 650+445+1,560+810+900+.......)
Edit: Oh I see now, yes.. I had not realized that before, I will try to address it by the next update. Thanks for the note!
Good app but the version on the market, for my galaxy s with ICS 4.0.3 (AOKP) 240 dpi, isn't compatible. Why? Thanks

Ahh, I don't know. It seems to only be on custom ROMs, but you can buy others apps from the market, right? So i have no idea.. .. really wish i could figure it out. Anyway I really appreciate you even trying to buy it, I hope you enjoy the apk.

Thank you so much! I can use this a lot in my job!
I went to download this from the Market and apparently it's not compatible with either my HTC Sensation or Acer Iconia A500. The A500 I can understand but why the Sensation?
Looks really good and I would like to try it but can't.

Bahh, this drives me nuts. I can't figure out why it shows incompatible with certain phones (not models; for instance, it'll be compatible with some SGS2s but not others) and only on the market (apk works fine). Do you have any ROMs installed? Still, I don't know why that would make a difference. I gotta make a post on xda about it or something :/.
I appreciate you trying to download it from the market, hopefully the apk in the main post will do for now (it is the full version).

From the threads I'm reading, if you set your ROM to custom dpi (pixel density) it has that affect with some apps on the market. Will keep reading into it..
If you do have a moment I would appreciate if you can rate my free app, each rating really helps a lot.

I'd be happy to rate it and provide feedback on the Market but I'm not able too.
I installed the apk though and so far everything seems to be working fine.
A couple of suggestions though:
Change Mortgage to Loan Repayments and provide a bit more flexibility. For example, the ability to choose the loan type from 1 year upwards or alternatively allow for custom input so I can type in whatever I want.
It would also be good to have an additional payments input. So you would enter you total loan amount, interest, loan type, then by inputting additional payments ($50 a week for example) it will tell you how many months and/or years you would save as well as a dollar amount.
This would cater not only for Mortgages but Personal Loans as well. If this kind of functionality was added I'd seriously consider buying it for this purpose alone.
The calculator looks good but I think it needs to follow the same basic look of any calculator with the + - X and / running down the right hand side. Having them at the top throws you off a little.
The ability to rearrange or select which tabs you want to appear at the top. Tipping and Currency are pointless for me so being able to remove them from view would be good.
A fantastic calculator overall though. Love the ICS look/theme to it. Easy to follow and read. When I can install it from the Market I definitely will.

Hey guys, I have been working hard on my app, Notif, for a few months now and I decided to make a page for discussion. You can talk about anything related to the app, including requests, bugs, or any other comments.
It is an app for Jelly Bean that allows you to create rich notifications for your device. 4.1 introduced expandable notifications, which I'm sure you all know about already. Notif leverages that and blends your own content with rich notifications to create sort of a note/reminder/list app for your notification shade. There are three types of notifications you can create: text, picture, and list. Each of these are expandable just like a long text message, a screenshot, or new e-mails. See what you can do with Notif for yourself!
Notif requires Android 4.1 or above.
Notif
Notif Pro
Notif Pro features:
Notification editing
All 200 icons!
Unlimited Notif History
Create notifications from other apps
QuickNotif - create/clear notifications from anywhere on your phone
Lots more to come
Right now, I am working on these fixes:
[ ]Better resolution for camera images
[ ]Nexus 7 picture bug
[ ]Get image from other sources (Dropbox, Drive, etc.)

I love the app. I've been using it for a few months now.
I recommend everyone buy the pro version and show your support to this developer. He is quick to respond to any questions/messages sent and has produced a great application.
If nothing else, take a minute to say thanks as this is someone who taken the time to develop a quality application for the phones and platform we enjoy so much.
Keep up the great work. I hope you stay inspired to not only continue developing this application, but developing others in the future as well.

Hey guys, quick update. I just got out of school so I have a ton of extra time to work on the app. First I'll be catching the free version up with the Pro in terms of UI tweaks and settings and fixes, etc. Then I'm fixing the reboot issue.
I also created a Notif Community on Google+ so join if you'd like!
Thanks
Nice work. Just went into the market and looked over your app. Haven't tried it yet but plenty of ideas where this could be useful and on that note, I purchased your app. My wife who loves Cherrywine (in the picture) is amused by your Soda app and the look/clean development look/style of the app gave me the solid impression to begin with. Call it an impulse purchase.

I like the idea of this app, but I don't see any mention of how these notifications are triggered. Are they all manual triggers?

Right now, they are. In the future, I hope to add an alert feature where the user will be able to add a custom time for the notification to appear.
Nice work man. Will give this a try
will the reminders lost after reboot?
I'm not sure if any of you are like me but I've got an app for basically everything. I've got apps for things that I barely ever do, but when I do, I have it. I keep everything well organized. Tabbed launcher app drawer, folders, and so forth. It's set up so perfect to my liking.
Sometimes I'm not sure about where/how I need to execute a function. For instance, being a general contractor and things are yelled, told, and asked through out my day where I've got to remember these things, much of it on a timely manner. I could load up Catch Notes which is my goto app for all things Notes. I could just use my Calender to place it in the correct date 'said item' is due/needed. Perhaps I could use the 'My Measure' app and snap a photo and write in my measurements. A lot of those things tend to take me a few minutes and at times I feel like I stare at my screen much to often, even though it's important to document/log this information.
This is where 'Notif' comes into play. Being able to setup things in the notification is sure to grab my attention to things I need to be aware of. If your anything like me, I check my phone display numerous times a day, sometimes cause I'm just refreshing my brian, sometimes out of habit. So, hopefully this will fulfill my need to NOTIFy me of the task/data that I need to follow up on/enter into my phone. This is how I will be using NOTIF as basically a quick note/reminder app for my pulldown. I will report back.
Take care,
Johnny

In Notif Pro, simply highlight some text in a webpage and click on the share action, and share with Notif and it will create a notification. This only works with text items (in any app that has a share intent), but I will be working on Big Picture notifications in the future.
I just released an update to the free version that includes a lot of fixes. You can see the full change log here as always. I even update it with what I'm currently working on. Consider buying Notif Pro as it includes all the good features. Happy holidays!!
Dev,
Have you seen NotificationBrowser? The idea that these two apps merged seems like a great concept. That dev is on ICS and couldn't try NOTIF unfortunately but now I can put my notifications to a widget. Thanks for your hardwork!

Corgi is a one of a kind lock screen replacement. It transforms your standard lock in to a Feedly (RSS) reader. It’s a full app experience right when you turn ON the screen. All of this is made in a beautiful Material Design.
How it works?
Once the phone has started, you’ll see latest headlines from your favorite resources. You are still a single gesture away from unlocking your phone. But if you have a minute or two, Corgi is right here, waiting for you with the latest articles from the web. If you saw an intriguing headline, just swipe up and enjoy the article. Browse more stories by swiping to the left, it is that simple.
Corgi is made for Feedly
To make this all come true, we have partnered with the best news aggregator out there. Feedly is fast, reliable. But most importantly, thanks to the Feedly v3 Engine, it let’s you get news from anywhere. Starting with big news resources as The Verge, TechCrunch, XDA-Developers going to more local ones like Boston Business News. Allowing you to read the news, you actually care of. Note: if you are already using Feedly, you don't need to subscribe again.
Why Corgi?
If a dog is men best friend. Then corgi is the most adorable friend. We want to bring that positive mood right to your lock screen.

That's is strange, it's related to the fact that Samsung has it's own alarm, it is not that easy to tract that event. But we will do our best to solve this.
Cool App!
Although one thing that bugs me: After a reboot, the screen is black and only after I pulled down the status bar and clicked on something, the PINCode Pattern appears.
awesome!! I really like it. This is the type of lockscreen I looked for a long time
One thing that buggs me is, if I swipe to the right, it dismisses the last article so that I can't get back to it.
Also it would be nice to have an animation to the pattern lock. instead of it just popping up
**EDIT**
Also it would be nice to include Notifications or space for a widget (to use external notification widget-apps)
nice app!

Very nice app. Produces pretty lockscreens. BUT it prevents Daydreams working in CM12 and I don't want the distraction of attractive news feeds facing me when I'm using the phone in my desk dock.

Is daydream a part of your standard lock screen? Also, have you tried AcDisplay app? As far as I know Corgi works ok with AcDisplay. I'll take a look if this can be fixed though!
The potential is big with this one.
Hi there!
You've piqued my interest for this app so much that I decided to sign up on XDA and post here, even though I've been using it for almost 5 years. Please continue development and make this even more awesome.
A Bug report:
Phone: Oneplus One
ROM: Euphoria ROM by Mahdi (CM12 base)
DPI: 408
I faced a critical bug somehow while running this app.
After I installed the app, everything ran smoothly until this error started showing up every two seconds.
Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(I looked into this error on the internet and the most common reason seemed to be due to a problem with Contacts. But as this error popped up just minutes after I installed this app, I thought otherwise.)
Whatever I tried, it went in vain. I tried rebooting the phone, clearing the data and cache for this app and all that. Zilch. The issue vanished, though, the second I uninstalled this app. No offense but I think there is a possibility that it might have something to do with your app. If I'm wrong, I'm all ears. I'm not very well versed in anything here.
Things I loved:
The animations
The way the app opened up a temp browser to display the entire content
The clean interface
Things that can be improved:
Lock pattern integration (Animation and more options)
The ability to show the Navigation bar translucently instead of going immersive. This is frustrating a little as when ever I pull down the status bar, the nav bar comes up as well causing the lockscreen to seemingly stutter to accommodate the change. I hope you get this.
The color filter that you superimpose over the article while turning the screen on is nice, but can get rather striking at times. I think it would be better if the colors were a little subdued and if the images had a factor of blurriness in them to make the items like Date and Time on the lockscreen more legible.
An option to view the newsfeed as a stream of news articles by swiping up and down.
I see that there is a default image that you use for articles that do not have one? I request you to use a nicer one Because I see a busy street somewhere in Asia as the default pic and it isn't doing justice to the good aesthetics of this app
Thanks a ton for this app. If some of the issues here and there are ironed out, I don't see why it wouldn't become my daily driver!

Firstly, thank you for you feedback! It's great to see that the app made you interested. Concerning your bug, we will take a look at it. If you could send us a log, that would be great. To do so, after the crash go to the Corgi app, swipe right and press "Leave Feedback". When you send it, it will attach a log, this helps us to trace crashes etc.
Concerning your feedback. The immersive more, color filter, lock patter animations, will be there once we have menu settings fully ready. We just need some more time. News feed as a stream is something bothering our minds for a while now. We will have it, but not soon. There are some ideas, but we have to rewrite the whole app for that
notifications?
Is there any plans for showing notifications on top of the news items ?

daydream is baked-in feature of CyanogenMOd based roms (not sure if it's the AOSP source). It simply initiates one of a number of pre-set functions when plugged-in, docked or both, after a given unused elapsed time.
I've never used AcDisplay - never needed to as Daydream normally works fine. I'm not keen on installing additional apps to bring back functionality lost or inhibited by others - that way you just clog you system up with more and more useless code.
I will certainly drop back and see if this issue gets fixed though as I do like your app

First of all thank you. This is a beautiful app that truly defines how beautiful an app can be following material design guidelines. I hope to see more features in it soon. so far so good. Animations are smooth and nice. Layout is excellent. Color layers are gorgeous.
Now after using this app for a couple of hours here are a few things that could be improved.
- When I turn the screen ON my notification drop down panel is extended. I have to swipe up to make it go away and look at the news articles on lock screen. Reading your comment above [quoted] doesn't seem like its intended behavior.
- Reading an article by swiping up on lock screen or moving to another article by swiping left doesn't mark that article as "read". Which means that if I go back to Feedly, all articles I have scrolled past on Corgi are still there. It would be better if this functionality can be added.
- Lock screen runs in "immersive mode". Which means if I swipe up from the bottom of screen I can make the navigation bar to show. However one I make it appear and click on any navigation key it sticks to the screen and doesn't go away.
Feature Request:
I have a lot of feeds coming into Feedly. Is it possible to "pin" a single feed or multiple to show on lock screen instead of all feeds? Plus if the order of feeds could be re-arranged inside Corgi would be really nice to have feature.
Device Info: Oneplus One
Rom: Tuga Power (CM12) vs 55
DPI: 500 (on this DPI this lockscreen is absolutely beautiful and smooth).
Once again, great work and keep the updates coming.
