5 predictions for Android 5.0 ‘Key Lime Pie’ features

Found this article that talks about Android 5.0 features. I personally think social integration hub and personalized settings won't happen. Android doesn't need a social hub and Google doesn't really care about providing that. Personalized settings for allowing stock android sounds great but I don't know if the hardware manufacturers will allow that to happen.
Profile Management: BB10 has it, Android should offer it too.
Video Calling App: I think we actually need this
Text Message Sync: This would be very helpful, I use SMSBackup+, but native functionality would be nice.
Can`t wait for Google I/O 2013 in May!

what do you guys think? Some of the features in this article are quite useful.

I hope the new OS isn't going to be a let down, I can't think of much there is for Google to implement

I don't think that Google will provide a "built-in social networking application". It just... doesn't fit.
The messaging, on the other hand, is highly possible. Not sure about the personalized settings, although I hope they'll implement that.

My prediction is that they'll break bluetooth worse than they already have. Or they'll break some other basic feature so bad that it becomes as unusable as bluetooth is in 4.2.1. Maybe it will be the sound this time, or wifi. Whatever they break in the new Android, you can rest assured they'll wait at least 3 months to fix it.

People still use bluetooth!? xD

Maybe there'll be some major (or minor) UI changes too? Just like with 2.0, 3.0 & 4.0.

Google Talk? G+ Hangouts?
What needs to happen:
- Unified messaging: messages, google talk, google+ messenger and it would be great if they also could integrate whatsapp / fb messenger. (but that's not going to happen)

I'd like to see better support for miracast. Also it would be great if they took an update to just do a ton of bug fixing and fine-tooning of various ui aspects and performance. For instance, the emoji keyboard is very inconvenient to use. Full integration into the default keyboard would be a very nice improvement. Also the blue text selecter thingy is very difficult to use, and hasn't recevied an update since froyo or even earlier. Tiny stuff like that can be really irritating when it goes unfixed for a long time. Also if you push the multitasking button while the keyboard is open, then switch back to the app you were just on, android will have a sort of frame stutter.
It's tiny stuff like this that iOS has a lot of time to get right, considering there aren't any real feature upgrades to it. Anybody notice how long it took for people to not give a crap about siri?
So yeah, I'd like to see a more refined os.

I agree, but it would be nice to have one standalone app that would be great at video chatting.
I don't seem them putting all the third party messengers together like whatsapp, but it would make sense if they combined messages and video chatting together.

This is a definate need..
Also I have the pie feature in JellyBomb which I like as well.

Here's my wishlist of Android 5.0 (Key Lime Pie) changes:
1. Change the toggles to work on a single press and settings for a long press
1.1. Add the ability for developers to add toggles to the toggle screen and a setting to select which toggles I see and re-order them.
2. Add multiple widgets to the lockscreen
3. Add ability to disable lockscreen left-right swipes
4. Add ability to remove unused home screens
5. Add phone number entry auto-search
6. Add phone app setting to always start on the dial pad
7. Let me uninstall apps that are not system apps by default without having to root. (Google+, Currents, Google Music,carrier apps, etc.) System apps *should* be just those required to run the base system, not those freely available in the Google Play Store and just pre-loaded.
8. Add setting button to refresh media or handle media auto-refreshing better
9. Add a backup system without having to root
10. More overall configuration options ala CM or AOKP. Even if they're in the hidden Developer Options settings.
Not 5.0, specific, but Google Apps related:
1. Standardize the placement of search buttons in Google apps since they removed the search button
2. Standardize the placement of menu buttons in Google apps since they removed the menu button
3. Add a setting in Android Chrome to display a new tab when it's opened.
4. Add the ability to re-order bookmarks in Android Chrome

Support for bluetooth low energy would be welcome (Bluetooth 4.0 ble)

Android should give us the option to close processes that we don't need to be open to free RAM, and it should
be a system that allows the device to work in an efficient way with minimal internal storage usage occupied by the pre-installed
applications.

Hello all!!
I am developing a new app, its, for now, called Hovering Controls, it allows you to open your desired app with hand gesture (1 slide, slide twice and hover) (not real gesture as it uses proximity sensor) it also allow you to play, pause, next,previous your songs/videos even with screen off. Also mute alarm and ring phone with a simple hand wave. There are 2 modes, target mode (1 gesture for one app) and carousel mode where you can set a list app and it goes throught them.
I would like to hear from your opinions and feedback.
Thank you very much all!!

PD:The icon is just a demo not the final one. It has a widget also to stop/pause the detection.

Not really, you can not control de interface of apps, just open your selected app with hand waves. Extra features are music/video player control, alarm and phone call ringing mute.
I still need to work on the event detector, some phones have slower sensors and if you wave your hand fast nothing is detected...i will need to figure out how to make it "smooth" with all sensors.
About ram, i will need to check that, i will clean the code, it still has debugging code and variables. Good thing is while running, the code only runs when a proximity event happens, so its not all time looping throught the code.
If you find that the app is not working with your fav music/video player, post the name of the app and i will update it. If you find out more features for it, also post them i will try.

New version uploaded that allow you to test your sensor so you can test your hand slides and check what happens.

Yep, settings not working yet, i will add an option to not show an icon in the notif bar (it is shown because the service is running as foreground so Android do not destroy it for resources, in the next update with the option to not show the icon, if you check it, android may destroy the service for a moment if needed)

I'm using it for the same purpose! Really a nice app and is functioning properly. And few more features in the future would be great!
Just one problem I'm facing is even though I select 'Camera' app from the list, the function opens 'Gallery', always.

It works with package names, sometimes some stock apps, has same package name but different class name, that is what can be happenning there, can you tell me the name of the apps and if they are stock apps, wich rom, android version and phone do you have?
I will need to investigate it a little more to fix this issues.

I'm using Micromax Canvas A116 HD with stock Android 4.2.1. The app which I'm trying to link is stock Camera app.

Lets debug this a little bit...for example, in Hover Hold option, you select camera app, and it opens the gallery? when its opening a message is shown (a toast message) what it says? opening camera or opening gallery?
I explain this a little more:
In my S3 when i choose to open contacts or telephone, it always opens the same app althought they are shown as different apps, both have the same package name, and thats why it opens the same...i will try to fix this beheaviour.

It says 'Opening Camera' but still opens Gallery.

Well...its weird xD
Lets try this, unninstall the app, and install the new apk attached in this message. In Hovering Hold, when you choose the app, it will now show the package name. Check what it says choosing camera and what choosing gallery, packages should be different. let me know how it goes plz.
Thank you very much in advance!

Well yeah, the 4.2+ camera is basically one application, so I can understand why it opens the gallery.
Really nice idea by the way, I will be keeping an eye on this. I set it to open Google Now, and so far it's working well.

awesome work
Thanks forgin for such a awesome app tested on galaxy note ..every thing just works... camera , browser , dialer are working my fav..

It's really a great concept, but I'm having a few troubles. First, I can't get hover hold to work at all, not even while testing the sensor. Second, whenever it recognizes a double swipe, it opens the correct app, but then immediately opens the single swipe app as well. Idk if my waving isn't very good or what, but the sensor isn't sensitive enough for this to be useful for me.

Hrumph...some gestures. I flipped off my phone for 30 seconds, and nothing happened but it going into sleep mode. I guess I don't intimidate it.
Seriously, though, this thing is running pretty nicely. I'll have to keep an eye on it to see how battery life is affected, of course. Now people driving next to me are going to think I'm conducting an orchestra or something...

[APP][4.0+] DynamicNotifications (formely "ActiveNotifications")

Hi,
DynamicNotifications is an elegant, unobtrusive way to show you your latest notifications even when the screen is off. When you miss a call or receive a new email/SMS, the display will discreetly light up to let you know, without needing to unlock the device. Most phones only have a pulsing notification LED that doesn't actually tell you anything about the incoming notification - with DynamicNotifications, you can immediately decide if something is important enough to act: DynamicNotifications (free) on Google Play
It uses the new "Notification Listener" service introduced in 4.3 and therefore has minimal impact on your battery. If you own an AMOLED-phone, the "battery saving" feature should work automatically, since black pixels are simply not turned on. The app comes with a number of additional features, such as not turning on when the device is inside your pocket, purse, or lying face down. I've recently added compatibility for 4.0+ devices via the "Accessibility service". How well this works may vary from device to device, the best experience/performance will be on Android 4.3.
Thanks!
Nick
Update (v1.2): I've released a beta-version (v1.2beta) through this Google+ Community (and have attached the same .apk to this post). Please let me know if you're running into any issues while using the beta, I will make it available as a public update soon. [Changelog]
Update (v1.3beta): Version 1.3beta is now live in the Google+ Community (and attached here). It implements multiple notifications (displayed as small icons below the "main" notification). Please let me know if something doesn't work.
Update (v1.3): I have just pushed version 1.3 to the Play Store (and attached it here), so everyone (not only beta-participants) should receive it soon. If you run into any issues, please email supp.. @greatbytes.org
Update (v1.4alpha): I've just release the very first alpha version of DynamicNotifications that is compatible with Android versions >4.1.2. There are still many bugs to fix, so please don't be disappointed if it doesn't work on your device straight away. Please join this Google+ Community and opt-in to receive the alpha version via this link afterwards. It may take a few hours for the update to be visible in Google Play. You don't need to update if you're on Android 4.3, the only change in this version is 4.1.2+ compatibility. I'm going to bed now, it's 3am over here and I've been working nonstop on this app for the past 3 days, so please be kind if the alpha version doesn't work straight away ! Thanks!
Update (v1.4alpha6): I've updated the 4.1.2+ compatible version again, it's been pushed to the Play Store and is attached here. The changes:
- Custom brightness feature implemented
- If a custom timeout is set and you hold down the middle icon, the timeout is temporarily paused (until you let go of the middle icon again)
- Forces "portrait" orientation of the notification screen by popular demand
- Implemented JB-clock for devices running >=4.2
- Added explanation to the "Custom timeout mode" (currently doesn't work correctly if you've got your system lock set to "None" or "Slide" and requires Device Administrator rights to be able to shut off the screen)
Update (v1.4): I've further improved version 1.4 and have pushed it to the production-channel on Google Play (and it's attached here).
The changes are:
v1.4:
- Fixed JB-clock cut-off issue
- The *newest* notification will now always be displayed in the circle (and older notifications will move to the bottom icon row)
Update (v1.5alpha2): Attached is v1.5alpha2. *The only change* in 1.5alpha2 compared to 1.4 is that it adds experimental compatibility with Android 4.0+. So if you've got a 4.1.2+ device, you don't need to update to 1.5alpha2, but if you're running 4.0/4.1 it would be awesome if you could let me know here (or via email) if the alpha works for you. As I said, it's extremely experimental as I don't have a 4.0 device for testing, but it should work ! Thanks!
Update (v1.5stable): Changelog:
- Fixes SMS notifications on the Galaxy S2/S3/S4 + HTC One
- Now shows the notifications screen again if a second/third/etc. notification arrives (I'm still working on the "breathing" feature!)
- Clock cut-off issue should be fixed
- Main notification icon is now displayed in double the size (white ring coming soon!)
- "Screen shuts off after custom timeout passed, even if I swiped up" should be fixed
- Persistent/ongoing notifications are now blocked by default for pre-4.3 devices, too
Update (v1.6beta): Changelog:
- Revamped the "Custom screen timeout"-feature - it should now work even if you've got your system lockscreen set to "None"/"Slide" and also should play nice with the "Use as lockscreen"-feature. Please let me know if it works better than before - if it doesn't, I can easily switch back to the "old" custom timeout-implementation
- (Short) breathing animation once the notification screen starts up
- Dismissing a notification by swiping left or right should now turn off the screen for everyone, even if you're using "None" or "Slide" as your system lockscreen.
- New high-quality icons for popular notification types (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, WhatsApp)
- New ActionBar-menu-options for the Settings-screen (e.g. view FAQs, email me (with a log-file attached), uninstall the app (the app needs to be deactivated from the "Device Administrator" system settings menu before it can be uninstalled, which is why I included a "one-step-uninstall"-feature in the menu))
- Breathing feature (turns screen on and off at pre-defined intervals until you acknowledge the new notification)
- "Use as a lockscreen"-feature (Shows the notification screen every time you unlock your device, even if there are no new notifications)
- Some minor bugfixes (e.g. screen no longer stays on indefinitely if you've got the "custom brightness" feature enabled)
- Rebranding ("DynamicNotifications")
Update (v1.7): Changelog:
- Fixed the "night mode"-feature (wasn't working for some users)
- Improved stability of the custom timeout-feature (it should now work regardless of which other options (such as the Lockscreen-mode or the Auto-wake feature) you've enabled)
- "Double" notifications should now be fixed, please let me know if you're still receiving them
- The app should now work side-by-side with other apps that use the Accessibility-service on pre-4.3 devices, such as "Missed It!"
Update (v1.8beta): Changelog:
- "Auto-dismiss": If you remove a new notification via another device (e.g. read a new Gmail-message in your browser), the DynamicNotifications-screen will automatically close (4.3-only)
- "Multiple notifications"-option for pre-4.3 devices (shows the 3 latest notifications below the main icon. Since the Android system doesn't tell apps when notifications are dismissed on <4.3, it will *always* show the latest 3 notifications, even if you've already dismissed them from the status bar)
- Fixed a bug where the screen would turn off after swiping up
- Fixed crashes due to bad proximity sensor readings on some devices
Update (v1.9): Changelog:

Hmm, that's weird, thanks for letting me know! Have you tried the Google Play-version?
I've just downloaded the apk from my own post and installed it on my device (Galaxy Nexus running stock 4.3) and it works fine...strange!
I've re-uploaded the apk here

It works on my Galaxy S4, running CM10.2.
However, I'm unsure of this behaviour:
When the phone's screen is off and facing up (the ceiling), upon receiving notification, ActiveNotifications would kick in.
However, when the phone's screen is off and flipped down (screen is facing my desk), upon receiving notification, and I immediately flip the phone up, all I see is just the phone's screen turning on, displaying the native Android lockscreen. Is this as intended?

Seems to be some compatibility issues showing same error

Works fine on my stock unrooted Nexus 7 (2012).

Wouldn't mind it for my Xperia Z (4.2.2) either.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely consider making it work on Android <4.3, I'll have a look at how much extra work would be needed.

I would love this so much to work on older versions. This looks great!

Sorry about that, I'll investigate this!

Awsome! Thanks for develop such useful app!!. I can't try it because I have 4.1.2, but I'm happy to hear about this development.
I would love if you can make compatible with older versions.
Thanks again!!

Argh I just clicked play store link straight away and was faced with disappointment because it's not available on 4.1.1 anyway nice app

Y have tested on Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus and sometime GNex is not sinchronising properly gmail. Moreover, when phone is face down or in my pocket, screen turns on as always, when it supposed to not light up when is in the pocket. Maybe proximity sensor is not working well with this app.
Is it going to make possible phone turns on the screen just when you hold it from the tablet? It would be awesoma, like in Moto x
Thanks for your work man

I'm using it on unofficial cm 10.2 on my gs3 and I'm getting system ui notifications. It looks like GPS polling. Is there a way to disable this without turning GPS completely off?

Anyone used this enough yet care to give a review?

Placing calls and the my apps widget are both not working for me. I can launch my dialer, textra's or contacts but the launcher won't place phone calls. The My Apps widget says drag here, but after doing so is blank. I've tried reinstalling the app and rebooting. I'm on AICP nightlife's with magisk root. Android version 8.0.0 on a Nexus 6P.
Edit: After reviewing screenshots, the theming is not working either. It changes the system information panel but none of the app names have any color behind them not a border. They are just text. The icons are also not showing in the app menu. I shot the $.99 your way before testing and I'm cool with that. The app has a great concept. If you need any logs or other information let me know. I'll attach screenshots when I leave work.

1. Neon mode won't enable.
2. Apps in side menu have no icons when option is enabled which also results in them not being able to be dragged to home screen.
3. occasionally crashes for some reason
Pixel XL 8.1 DP1

For those who are experiencing problems on android 8. Try version 1.4.2.

The app crashes too much and needs many bugs to fixed and also add some more features.
Bugs like
Gmail is not connecting in email.
Always crashes.
Please add one more app drawer beside sidebar you can take idea from TSF launcher.
Its the best app on the planet of earth.

1. Tell me please android version and phone model.
2. Are you using the latest version of the application? 1.4.2 and up?
3. Not connected gmail is not bug. You must enable imap in gmail settings and use google's "application password" (you can generate it there: myaccount.google.com).

Gmail got connected as i updated to aio 1.4.2 from 1.4.0 but why the app crashes so much.
And also allow us to use different icon packs.
Also add one more app drawer please as the main app drawer rather then sidebar.
Also add a search option in sidebar and we can slide from alphabets to search app-this is must.
Add option to add music player on screen like news gmail and all and also if the lyrics with it.
Thank you.
Your app is literally best app please maintain it.

Hmmm. I tested it for about two months on Android 6 and Android 7 and on my devices it works stably. The problems were on Android 8, but I fixed them in versions 1.4.3-1.4.4.
Can you take logcat immediately after the crash. If your phone is rooted it can be done with MatLog app (type "aio" in search bar).
Or at least describe in what situations app crashes.

Just came here randomly in a way... love the concept!

Tapping the Bitcoin price graph should open up coinbase or any other Bitcoin app that we have : )
Also maybe add the ability to change exchanges

I love the design of this launcher but I need to be able to choose weather data providers like Weather Underground, DarkSky or AccuWeather (using API keys) and also use my own RSS news feeds. Is/will that be possible? With that included I would buy the premium version right away. Great works. With a launcher like this the the date feed options becomes very important.

You can use your own personal news feed by holding the search button then settings then head down to the news feed section and you will see the option to add a RSS url

Loving it so far! Already bought premium to support. It gives me that old Windows Phone feeling where I can see all my info from a glance. Keep up the great work.

Bought premium ! Well made and well thought !
Suggestions to improve it :
- choose another provider for the weather
- choose another crypto, not only bitcoin

Backround app problem.HELP

I have an Honor 8,chinese version FRD-AL00.(rooted)
The problem is everytime i clear the memory the phone kills the app completely. Ex- the app "messenger" or "whats app" , if i clear them from memory (clear ram on multitask window) i no longer recieve notifications.I have to always leave them opened on the backround.I also tried removing them from battery optimization and it didnt work.

Just lock the app on recent apps windows (a little lock sign on upper right corner with x sign). every time you cleaning apps don't swipe that app you don't want kill.

Man, I am living with this problem for more than half a year. I did find a somewhat tolerable solution - it is not exactly elegant but it might prove helpful. So yes, after playing with every possible parameter in settings , I also came to the conclusion that nothing really helps except keeping these apps minimized in the background. So I decided to just find a way to hide these minimized apps from the "recent apps" so that these don't interfere with my other activity.
Finally, I managed to find one humble app which does exactly that (you won't be able to find it by the name in Google Play, hence I provide the link).
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=comapede.app.versteckeapp
The instructions might not be exactly clear - you have to install the app then access the widgets from your home screen, identify the Hide App widget and drag it on the home screen. At this point you will be presented with the list of all apps on your device and you would need to chose the app you want to hide. After doing so, a widget for this specific app would be created (which looks identically to the app icon but works differently). First, make sure you discard the respective app from the recent apps, then, to enable hiding, every time you launch the app, you need to do it from the created widget (not from the icon). Obviously, you can repeat the action for all other apps you need to hide.
This worked reliably with Nova Launcher on Android 7 (EMUI 5.0) and continues to work after updating to Android 8 (EMUI 8.0). I also have Chinese ROM (not rooted).
As for the reason why this happens - I have no clue. I don't exclude that it is a software bug that is quite rare on honor 8 devices (otherwise I would see more people complaining).
There is an interesting aspect though - while I have been using my FB messenger for a while like this (this was the only way it worked), now I am able to access the app from its native icon and discard it from the recent apps and it still receives messages instantaneously (same about Skype, Viber). (I don't remember if this is related to the update). Yet for other apps, like KinScreen, Light Flow, ACR (Automatic Call Recorder) and many others, if I run the apps from their icons, the moment I discard them from recent apps, they are shut down completely.
Hopefully this works out for your

Yes, this can be really frustrating. For me it has been a series of missed Skype calls, which I happened to discover even after more than a week.
