I wanted to start a separate thread for people using SPB Shell 3d to discuss tips, hidden features, requests, post pix, etc.
Please keep comments about the price of the app out of this thread!
====================
I'm currently running imilka's Gingerbread Sense v0.1 on my HTC HD2. On this build Shell 3D *flies* - much faster then Launcher Pro, ADW, and Zeam. It's not even close. I tried to go back my my Desire HD build, and I found it a bit slow on that build (and slowed the overall phone as well).
On my current build, battery use is excellent. With a low amount of use today, I've gone through 40% of my battery in 10 hours (60% left). This is early, but seems better then other shells, or at the least not worse.
It is running 36-40 megs memory while running on my phone.
Here's the combined note of requests I sent to them:
First, before I send the list, it's MOST important to keep the overall speed and lack of lag in Shell 3D. If any feature on the list causes a slow-down, I'd rather keep the speed.
Likewise, while a slightly larger memory footprint is do-able, I wouldn't want it to get much bigger (running memory).
I'm sure many, if not all of these things are not new to you, but here's the list of things I'd like to see in future versions. I emailed a couple tmes yesterday, but wanted to send a complied list:
- In the full Calendar page, I would love to see scroling to get to more events.
- Speaker of scrolling, support for scrolling widgets would be a major plus, but I wonder if this feature causes lags & slowdowns in other launchers.
- Missing Matching Widgets. I love the look of the 'glassy rectangle' in the Weather, Calendar, Favorites. I don't like how the SMS widget has it's own look (at least put the glasssy look in it). On the widgets to add, please add rss (a simple one, nogoogle sync needed), battery (matching glassy theme), twitter, facebook)
- Change Application Draw button (the one in the draw in the bottom right. I'd rather change that to my own app)
- Option to remove buttons from dock (perhaps have no buttons but the carousel button)
- A number of people don't like the Autosort. They want blank space at the top & to be able to put an icon on the bottom.
- Change Default apps (so when I click Calendar, it runs Pocket Informant)
- Gallery widget not working? I get 4 buttons. The far left one is a non-picture folder on my sd-card. The far right is the gallery app. The middle 2 are..??
- Can each screen have it's own background color (like in the carousel previews)?
- Option for no Text Labels for App Favorite Folders
(will probably be more in the future
Things I Think are Not Needed:
- Resize Widgets. I've seen a few requests, but I don't see too much need for this. Would be nice, but not urgent I think.
- Change Rows/Columns. Same as Resize. I think this would cause your own Widgets major problems, so probably can't do this one at all.
- Live Wallpaper. Likewise, doesn't work well with Carousels.
- Transition Effects. We already have the Carousel. I don't think more are needed.
One more minor request to add to the list.
I currently have the small 4x1 (or is it 1x4?) Weather Widget on my screen. I find the display with the current weather + next 4 days kind of squished, so I'm currently using the one with the bar graph on the left. The graph is cute, but functionally useless.
Possible to make a Weather widget like it, but replace the bar graph with a battery meter to match the weather look?
Also - when I click on the Weather, perhaps shift over to the full pane weather panel?
Likewise, when I click on the small 4x1 Calendar, when I click it, maybe go to the full Calendar page (or at least an app of my choice).
Speed is still amazing on my Gingerbread/Sense rom on my HTC HD2. Going to test going back to a more stable Desire HD build & see how fast it is.
Don't know if anybody else has this problem but for me it is a very bothersome BUG. It will allow me to android widgets on any panel. However, when I reboot the phone, the android widgets disappear every time. I am running it on my rooted Evo with CM7 installed.
* A search funktion in the app drawer would be great.
* Multiselect for adding apps into a folder.
* At the weather forcast the CPU goes up to max...great if that could be reduced.
* Select multiple cities for the weather (panel and widget)
i cant even run the app lol i have a sprint hero running cm7 rc4. and its suppose to run on all 2.1 and up devices. they even say its for the hero. its really bugging me cause i've been wanting this since they announced it.
Uh, SPB says for Hero on 2.1...did they say CM7? Maybe you need to go to stock...try it then complain please.

I'm using an Inspire and it runs fine. It does take literally 10 minutes to boot and "warm up", but its lighting fast after that. Been using it since the early test builds.
yeah i tried to open it but i just get a black scree. and then about 40 seconds later it just exits out to the previous screen i was on.

Assuming you mean the one with the picture of the person & a little button for dial and a button for sms - yes:
Add SPB Widget -> Favorite Contact (bottom right). Click the little + to add someone to the Contacts. Click the square on the far right to open up the folder. From this window you can drag your contact to the home screen. Click the green arrow on the contact to change the look to the one I mentioned (5 clicks).
waiting for the mods will be tough but I am trying my best to modify the look.

wrong thread
I have SPB shell 3D running on my Milestone. I am using the stock 2.1 rom. I couldn't get it to load on any of the 2.2 roms, but I didn't spend too much time investigating why. I have my Milestone overclocked to 900MHz with milestone overclock and have JIT enabled via openrecovery.
It runs quite well once it loads up. I used the "bulletproof launcher" script in this thread to keep the launcher from being closed, so far I have only had one or two crashes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
The gallery widget seems broken on my phone as well. The leftmost button loads a few random pictures, but the middle two buttons don't respond and the gallery launcher button does nothing, and then will put the phone into widget change/resize mode.
I find I didn't need any of my other widgets, but would probably use a good twitter/facebook aggregator. I haven't loaded pure messenger into it, but other android widgets appeared to work.
In 20 hours of uptime it has only used 5% of the battery, less than the phone being on standby, so I find it on par with Launcher Pro for battery use.
Hello, I install SPB shell 3D on my Motorola Defy and averything are running well, it's really the best interface. The only thing I would like to do is to display my own pictures in place of the one from Flickr, is someone find how to do that ?

I don't have a favorite contacts choice. The bottom right option is messaging for me. Do you have the market version installed or a beta?
Running on a 2.3 rom on htc desire and it works ok. Sometimes I have to reinstall app to get it to load. Contact widget doesn't show photos properly.

Ah ok I figured it out. This is really strange, you have to delete the default favorite contacts folder off the screen first. Then the option to add it as a widget appears. Really odd.

Hey all,
Just got my EVO. I've disabled Sense because I like the regular Android interface (love my Nexus One). One thing I've noticed is that the 4G toggle widget is not available with Sense off.
Does anyone know of a 4G toggle widget for non-Sense users? If not I'll probably throw one together this weekend, but if there's already one out there I'd like to avoid the work (laziness for the win ;-)
Thanks.
UPDATE (6/14): Really close to done on this. Hoping to have it released tonight or tomorrow. Will keep you guys posted.
UPDATE (6/15):
Alright, got this done and it's working! Just install the attached APK and add the widget to your home screen. If you'd like to donate or are too lazy to download an APK, I added it to the market for a 99-cent donation:

Glad to be able to give back to the community after so long. I'd just ask you to please not distribute this APK elsewhere. Thanks!
UPDATE (6/19):
For anyone who wants to reskin or modify this widget, or is just curious about how it works, I've released the source here:
http://code.google.com/p/toggle4g/
This of course means it is now open source and yours to muck with and distribute freely (within the limits of the license).
UPDATE (6/20):
There seems to be a bug where the widget may turn your 4G back on after a reboot, even if it was off when you shut down. I'm looking into it but in the meantime, just be aware that this may occur.
Changelog (last update 6/18)
- v1.2: completely redid widget icon, added toast on toggle.
- v1.1: fixed centering, widget is slightly larger now too.

I don't believe this exists at all. I've never seen one.
Did someone say mod the Power Control widget? Hmm, yes, I'm almost certain someone did.
So who knows how to make widgets?

Sorry, I'm not really contributing here, but think it's ironic that you have "laziness" and "FTW" typed out!
Man I hope you can put this out soon. We NEED a 4g toggle.
I agree, I just activated my Evo yesterday and I love it! but like many of you I decided to ditch Sense in favor of something lighter (for battery life, and I like helix) but there isn't a 4G toggle anywhere someone help!
Add me to the list hoping for a toggle. While I'm at it, anyone know how to get the stock dialer and calendar on the EVO? I really don't like sense.

Yeah, I would prefer stock dialer, calendar, and contacts as well. But unfortunately those are baked into the build so you can't just replace them. You'll have to wait for a clean ROM.

How do you disable the sense interface, and can it be re-enable later on?
bhagiratha I used androidcental's youtube step by step as I am a Android noob. I sent you the link privately, it wouldn't let me post a link in here.
Hurry up Froyo, that will solve a lot of issues for me.

Go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->HTC Sence->Clear Defaults
Once that is done, you can hit the Home Key and it will ask you to select a home app, either the Stock HTC Sense Home or generic Android Launcher.
Yes, you can go back to Sense if you like, you can even go back and forth if you don't select a default.

Actually i believe as soon as the ROM gets de-odexed you should be able to swap the sense app for the vanilla ones no problem (hopefully). It worked on my Hero running FreshToast2.1 before Sprint even relased 2.1.
I have been searching the market every day hoping a toggle widget pops up some day, but it never does.
Bump! 4g widget! Please and Thank You! We would be indebted!

I started on it this weekend and am really close. Thought I'd be done last night, but making it all shiny, packaging, etc. is taking a bit longer than expected. I'm hoping to have it done today or tomorrow. I'll post it on here when it's done and probably put 99 cent donate version in the Market.

Oh wow that's awesome that you're actually making one! I can't wait to have that as I often disable sense as well
Very nice...Was searching for this recently and didn't find anything. Want to try out some other launchers like ADW, but don't want to lose my 4g toggle.
Looking forward to your widget
Re: 4G Widget w/Sense disabled
Computer just crashed as I was packaging it up :-(
Fortunately didn't lose any work but have to wait for Windows to finish reinstalling...

I just tested it out and it works as advertised. I tried it in Sense first on the same screen as the Sprint 4g widget and as I turned it on or off, the Sprint one followed suit. I also tried it in the default android launcher and it worked great there as well. Very nicely done!!
The only suggestion I have is to center the icon. It sits to the left currently.

Okay soo I've finally updated to sense 3.5. Just wanted to get this out as soon as possible considering its been a while since my last update. The Rom is about 250mb zipped and it actually is a lot cleaner than the last version of the ROM. I was able to make this one more stable and take out almost double the widgets. 3.5 adds about 20 useless widgets on top of the old ones. I also worked on getting HTC weather working in this build since a couple of users asked about it.
I HATE the stock weird notification bar/icons so I have themed them to look more AOSP, just like you would find on any other non-sense Android phone. All in all, it really gives the ROM a clean, sense, feel to it. Rom is super stable and will give you more juice than the stock 2.3.5 ROM.
Anyways lets get to the details:
Features
- AOSP like notification bar
- Stock Rosie/3d swypes
- AOSP browser added for speed
- AOSP desk clock added for speed
- MIUI music app added for efficiency
- Updated HTC Camera/Camcorder
- kept other HTC widgets including calendar, clock, messaging
- themed quick settings
- better sound
- based of the 2.3.5 base
- multilanguage
What's Removed
- HTC Music
- Friendstream
- Stream player
- HTC Watch movie
- random HTC widgets
- world clock
- HTC's stupid facebook/twitter apps
- connected media
- Weather animations
- ALL TMOUS Apps
- ALL voice dialers
- my HTC
- sketcher
- polaris
- browser
- greader
Thanks to:
- HTC for the awesome phone
- EddyOS for porting the 2.3.5 ROM

I will update to 2.3.5 soon just waiting for a more stable base, so far it's just based off a chineese leak. and alright cool!
Hell yea this is looking promising, I've been on the prowl for a lighter sense ROM, just not too light. You've removed everything I would have and nothing more. By removing the HTC Facebook app the contacts pictures may not sync so I might miss that but whatev.. I can figure out how to add it back in if needed.
Any issues you know of yet? Either way its downloading as we speak

AHH its finally here. I've been working on this ROM just to make sense more.... well not as resource hungry! I made a senseless ROM before but missed some of the features sense brings. It's crazy to even think that HTC ships out our phones with over 60 widgets, and random apps that lie there in the background. I've cut down a 400mb STOCK TMOUS ROM to nearly half that size. I removed most of the resource intensive apps people generally don't use. To start most Sense ROMs have about 100-150mb of RAM free, this one starts off with 240. So except to see an increase in battery life as well as performance.
I also HATE the stock weird notification bar/icons so I have themed them to look more AOSP, just like you would find on any other non-sense Android phone. All in all, it really gives the ROM a clean, sense, feel to it. Rom is super stable and will give you more juice than the stock 2.3.4 ROM.

Unfortunately it will take me forever to create a ROM with the weather stuff built in, it's not as simple as just providing the zip lol. I tried making 20 different versions of the ROM to try to get the weather animations/stock app working with the modified framework to get the AOSP notification bar and other tweaks--it never worked. Instead I made sure to just get the HTC weather clock working since that's a major feature most people want.
If you want I can release an unmodified gingerbread ROM with the same htc things removed. The weather animations would work in this case, but you wouldn't get the AOSP notification bar/some of the other tweaks in the ROM.
htc apps etc
i love the fact that the rom has allot of bloat removed, my question Is how much of an Impact does friendstream etc. really have on the phone.
I love the fact that all htc apps tie into each other. IE in people you can see all the recent messages facebook and twitter info. if things are removed will it effect that?
and what about 4g icon and advanced power menu? can they be added pretty please.

There have been ROMS without friendstream in the past, it just wouldn't show up if its not included.
As for the 4g icon I can probably get to that quicker than the advanced power menu. (if the advanced power menu requires additional framework, it would take me a while)
Also people please let me know if I should change to the stock HTC look vs the AOSP kind of notification bar/tweaks.
sorry i know about the roms working fine i am asking because you said it impact the performance of the phone do you have any idea how much i keep a close eye on my phone and have never seen those apps doing anything bad.
with regards to theme i like the aosp could you make it in blue?
and include superuser 3 beta 4

Good idea about the blue, I might do that if I change the launcher style/change the entire theme to a blue rather than the HTC green.
As for the performance.... well friendstream would always be running in the background so I'm sure you would have performance better than not having it. For example people are getting way better battery life/more free RAM with the Senseless Roms on here just because it removes all of the HTC components. Likewise with this ROM, I can say I'm definitely getting better battery life right now though.
Love the Rom completely what I have been waiting for. I would prefer it to stay green but its up to you. I have a bug in the music player where I can't go into settings.
Do you have an apk for stock sense player. I like to be able to control the music from my lockscreen.
This is now my daily driver till miui is perfect. Sorry lol. I got u for now.

Instead I made sure to just get the HTC weather clock working since that's a major feature most people want.
If you want I can release an unmodified gingerbread ROM with the same htc things removed. The weather animations would work in this case, but you wouldn't get the AOSP notification bar/some of the other tweaks in the ROM.

This is an ongoing developer project to make way for a modification that will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the experience of your phone. I know you've seen tablet mode roms before, they change two lines in your build.prop file which you could easily edit yourself in seconds and maybe throw a keyboard in there to make it work better. It's a start, but this ain't enough. This thing has potential, but it is wasted the moment you try to stuff a full blown tablet into your poor phone. Yet we all know our high res phones can very well handle more than silly 1-column layouts. So the magic must be in between somewhere, a place that Google must have overlooked and left blank. Yes, this rom strives to drop your device into tablet mode, but it won't stop there, it will reshape and redefine ICS to make it all a useful addition and not just a cute novelty. we're calling it: Hybrid (or Phablet) Mode, best of both worlds.

Pretty simple really, download and flash
- Full wipe isn't always necessary, but always highly recommended. Don't bother with bug reports until you've full wiped.
- DOWNLOADS And More information
- Optional Flashable for the A5 Kernel for all ICS Roms

- Set the font size to 'Large'
- Go into the navigation bar settings, hold your phone in landscape, change the button quantity to 5, then back to 3. (Buttons shouldn't be crammed together anymore).
- Check "Auto Hide" in Settings, System, Statusbar, to finally get Fullscreen (or Hold power button, and press "Toggle StatusBar")
- Launcher Settings: margins: SMALL (If youre using Apex / Nova), show permanent searchbar: YES, Grid: 5x4, resize all widgets: YES, Wallpaper scrolling: OFF
- Some applications may not function well in tablet mode (its not the rom)

you are a really active dev for this device ^^ looking forward to your Sense 4 Rom if any cheers!
This is a pretty cool concept. Might give it a spin later when I have some time.
Wow! I'm impressed, thanks!
And I was just about to try JB....

Omg lol awesome.
This ROM is amazing - impressive UI.
My quick tinkering with the Paranoid system settings came up with this:
Tablet Mode and Hybrid Mode both ticked.
Framework-res-DPI = custom 175. (Notification appropriate for our display.)
SystemUI DPI = Tablet. (Lock screen resize for our display.)
Again if we could please have an optional flashable for the 3.30 kernel (as it provides better battery then 3.36.)
This is a refreshing change from vanilla cm9.
2 Things I've noticed:
A) Gmail looks great, however trying to Open any email from the Inbox folder gives a 'Gmail has stopped' toast popup. Opening from All Mail folder works. Weird.
B) When phone is locked. If you press back or menu, the front face lights turn on but do not turn off.
We thank you XMC.

Awesome man, you've been all over these ROMs.
What's the reason for the A5 kernel, is something broken in A6? I'm assuming A5 means CM9 Alpha 5, or am I wrong?

I think you swapped your values for framework-res and systemUI. Also, the 175 DPI for system doesn't work if you use the onscreen nav buttons -145 works pretty well. Clock on lockscreen gets cut off in landscape mode when using "tablet" DPI. 150 looks pretty good for the framework setting here.
As an FYI - I was able to boot it using the CM9 A5 kernel because as I was using that already and I'm not S-off, but wifi was borked. Once I flashed in the kernel from this build wifi was working, but I'll have to get back to you as far as battery goes. I got a lot of problems with battery levels on the a5 kernel, especially when rebooting my battery level seemed to be random.
I didn't wipe when I flashed and came from CM9 a5. I noticed a couple of my apps were missing, and when I tried to install from market, I got an error stating "missing shared library". Is this because I didn't wipe? Can anyone confirm if you are able to install Bank of America from market?
The thing I've noticed most about this ROM aside from the awesome UI is BLAZING speed. Market and browser come up and load pages instantly - probably twice if not triple the speed of CM9 A5

Yeah I did mix those up, accident
I don't use the onscreen nav buttons option.
Funny though, cos further testing got me to 145dpi for system also, great minds think alike.
Bug:
I found that an input field does not appear/allow setting individual applications 'custom dpi'.
Other than this I didn't find much wrong with this excellent rom!!!

It looks like the gapps is missing something in this ROM - I looked up the error and saw that people had this problem on other ROMs from time to time. I flashed the latest gapps from CM and found that not only was it resolved, but the apps were already there and didn't need to be reinstalled.
Here are my current settings for the look, feel, and behavior that I like best. I am kanging XMC's "hints" section
- Download and flash latest gapps if you run into library errors on any of your apps
- Set the font size to "Normal"
- Go into the Apex settings > dock settings, hold your phone in landscape, change the button quantity to 5, then back to 3. (Buttons shouldn't be crammed together anymore).
- Check "Auto Hide" in Settings, System, Statusbar, to finally get Fullscreen (or Hold power button, and press "Toggle StatusBar"). You can turn auto-hide off afterward, if you want status bar to be always visible.
- Launcher Settings: margins: NONE (If youre using Apex / Nova), show permanent searchbar: YES, Grid: 4x4, resize all widgets: YES, Wallpaper scrolling: On or off, your pref
- Paranoid settings:
- Tablet Mode and Hybrid Mode checked
- System default DPI: tablet
- User Default DPI: phone
- User Default UI: phone
- Framework-res DPI: Custom 150
- SystemUI DPI: Custom 145

I just could not get Apex launcher(and a bunch of user apps that don't seem to be optimized for tablet) to look good with the User UI set to tablet, and I'm never satisfied with the look of anything other than 4 x 4 as the icons and widgets go all wonky. As far as apps other than the launcher, It seems like it might be better to use the tablet UI for user apps to go through and see which ones look good and which don't at first, then set them up individually.
Edit: XMC, I'm convinced that you are either a robot, or you have multiple clones of yourself that all work on various dev projects. This ROM is absolutely the best thing I've seen for our device yet.
When I have everything set to tablet DPI values i cannot make phone calls it says force closed ... any suggestions?
LOVE THE ROM

Bored of the default lock screen on Android devices, and specifically the one on your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge? Samsung thinks you could do with a more powerful lock screen and has launched an app called Good Lock on the Galaxy Apps store. Supported on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, Good Lock puts a ton of functionality right on your lock screen and notifications area.
From being able to keep some notifications in the notification shade for as long as you want to putting widgets on the lock screen for quick access, Good Lock offers a lot of features. It even replaces the notification shade with an interface straight from stock Android – a sign maybe that TouchWiz will one day be closer to Google’s version of Android (the removal of Samsung’s default music player from the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge is a big example of that possibility).
In fact, if Samsung does remove the app drawer from future iterations of TouchWiz, putting widgets and other advanced functionality on the lock screen would make sense, though whether Good Lock is truly useful in its current state depends on how keen you are on playing around with such customization. Good Lock is only available in the US for now, but we have the APK available for download for anyone who wants to try it out. There’s quite a lot inside Good Lock, and we’re currently testing it out for a full review.
Grab Good Lock from the Galaxy Apps store if you’re in the US or from the link below. In case you want to uninstall the app, you will have to head into its settings and hit the uninstall button as Good Lock replaces the entire lock screen and notification systems and can’t be removed like a regular app.
Download Good Lock APK
Source: SamMobile
Wonder what Samsung is up to... this smells iOS blur and look at all these icons in the "preview" images, completely redesigned. Is it a glimpse of the new TouchWiz perhaps? Time will tell
This is a totally unexpected move and it has some quirks but gets me excited for the direction Samsung is going. So happy
Mike installed just fine and rebooted. It worked for some time, but then it needed to reboot again and it was uninstalled. Can this be because I'm not in the US?
I'm using this now. There are things I like and things I don't, and things that I don't find useful at all. But the notification handling is a major improvement over current Marshmallow (Touchwiz or otherwize).
One major improvement, for me: I have a Tasker profile for home that, under Lollipop, turns off my lockscreen completely when I'm at home. Just push the power button or home button and I go directly to my home screen. No fingerprint, no pin, no swipe. Real handy. But it stopped working on the Edge with Marshmallow.
With Good Lock, the profile works correctly again!
Nice move from Samsung. I installed it and customized, I moved all the shortcuts from the LS and added a Weather Timeline Widget to quickly check the weather. The notification bar looks more like stock Android but I don't like the recent apps at all. I really like to take a quick glance on what showed on apps I recently used.
Is there a way to change that purple notification pull down to a different color?

Yes. Go to the Routines settings and then Default and change.
a short video showcasing it's features.
Any way this can be ported down to Lollipop?
Is there a way to remove widgets, once added to the hidden widget area?
It keeps telling me to turn on Location Services. Does anyone know how to disable that annoying pop-up?
Anybody notice Multitasking has been changed also. Wow what a change. I do prefer a preview of my aps
I liked it, but it's too early days for me to use as daily driver. It kept resetting the settings so was useless. I'm very interested to see where this goes though...
EDIT: nevermind... I had the default plus other routines thing messed up. Back in business.
Only thing I don't like now is the completely lack of color consistency going on between my Touchwiz theme and this Lockscreen stuff.
I've installed this on my S7 edge this morning and I'm pretty surprised that it changes the UI quite a bit, some of it I like and some I don't, there's still plenty of room for development but I think I will stick with it for a few days for now.
My mine gripe is the colour scheme is very inconsistent, I have changed the base colour but the shade seems off...
It is a mess. A nasty mess that should be killed with fire.
It would be pretty great if the location issues could be settled. The creating routine thing is a bit silly, but I'm loving the AOSP look and what not

Plusses and minuses, positives and negatives.....
I LOVE the notification handling. So superior to everything else it's not even close. I'd pay plenty for an app that brought these capabilities to my phone.
The fingerprint scanner is WAY faster now. Essentially instantaneous.
I hate the loss of the regular Samsung settings toggles and the ability to customize the toggles that are shown. Standard Android is a giant step backwards here. Fewer toggles, and no choice as to what ones are shown: how can anyone consider that an improvement? Only Googlely fan-boys who think any that comes out of Google is automatically superior.
I've come to like the recent apps screen, although the animation is a bit much. With "stock" Android, you can only fully see the one card at a time, and after a few days the stack of cards is so long it's a nightmare to find anything. It's actually easier to recognize an app icon than the glimpse of a screenshot as you scroll through cards, and I can find what I'm looking for faster with this approach than with cards..
On screen widgets are, yet again, stupidly implemented. Let me put a widget ON THE LOCK SCREEN, not on a hidden screen that I need to scroll to. With a fingerprint scanner it's easier to unlock the phone than to display a hidden lock screen. I'm not using this option at all. (Widget Locker got this right 4 or 5 years ago, but sadly doesn't seem to work on Marshmallow. Why can't Google and Samsung figure this out?)
On screen apps aren't quite as useless. You can swipe on an icon, then use the fingerprint scanner to open it, but it's at least as easy, and probably faster, to just use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone. And I'm not sure why a tap on the icon forces you to use a pin, while a swipe lets you use the scanner. Why not default to the scanner on a tap, too? It would be nice if you could open these apps without unlocking the phone, but be locked out of anything BUT that app (sort of like pinning). Again, Widget Locker got this right.
In spite of what some seem to think, the color scheme can be modified, and made pretty neutral and reasonable in settings. I'd like more granular control, but what's there is tolerable. You can also set your own lockscreen wallpaper.
On balance, I like it. It's clearly a work in progress, but notification handling alone is worth it.
Unfortunately, I've had to uninstall it. It's too buggy to be my daily driver. The home button doesn't always work, sometimes requiring two taps, occasionally not working at all. Sometimes tapping on a notification doesn't do anything at all. But when it works, the notification capabilities are brilliant, Brilliant, I say! I'm already missing it.
Samsung Rep^
Hey guys i got a bug since it has uninstalled by itself... Now my lockscreen is all black. I can't even see the shortcuts, but if i go to the settings the phone says that i got a wallpaper already set. Is there anyone with the same bug?
Sorry for my bad english

What is "Navbar Weather"?
It's weather app that shows forecast in unique way - on navigation bar via eg. chart. So to use it you obviously have to have navigation bar in your smartphone.
How does it work?
I've been using Huawei Mate 9 for over a year now. It always pissed me off that I had to put a widget on the home screen to check the weather forecast. But hey, why not use navigation bar for the weather forecast? So I decided to develop some small app for my Mate 9, that can show weather chart for next 5 days (in 3 hours intervals) on Navbar. It's still in beta stage (please report me abut any bugs or new ideas in this thread before you rate it). It works pretty good for me, but for sure I know that there is a lot work to do.
So far Navbar Weather was tested only on my Mate 9, but it should work also on any other smartphone with Navigation Bar. It it also confirmed that app works on: Huawei Honor V10, Moto X4 (May 2018 Android 8.1), Samsung Galaxy devices with navigation bar.

This is pretty slick!!
Confirmed working on Moto X4 on May 2018 Android 8.1.
2 questions
1) Nova doesn't seem to allow the overlay when on home screen/app drawer, any way to allow that?
2) Each time i go in the app the Navbar Weather switch is off and can't turn it on unless i set location even though it's already being displayed.

1) I need to investigate that, right now I'm on EMUI, never tested it with Nova. Let me investigate that, I'll try to answer you asap.
2) Just go to settings and select desired Forecast Data Types. You can select e.g. only temperature to force one graph. Also you can turn off Chart Carousel - then you can switch between charts by pressing home button

You are welcome.
Strange feedback you had because this kind of apps are meant to be left running (plus, you have a toggle on the main screen) ; like a widget you want it to be running and refresh informations even it you close the app, or else you just go to the internet for one time information about the weather.
For what I understood of the behaviour of android and its task manager now, it's only an badly made alt+tab like app switcher, not really a manager. If I close all the windows all it does nothing but not having a window history, and apps are still running and updating in the background, leaving doze and manufacturer's auto close/optimising built-in features to deal with what apps and when they have to run and be closed.
Maybe I'm wrong and it actually does more?
I just notice it follows the windows animations (using Nova launcher), so it appear somewhat in the middle of the screen before reaching the bottom when animation of complete. I don't know of you can force it to sick at the bottom?
Thanks!

There is many more strange feedback, like - "it doesn't work on my smartphone that doesn't have navigation bar"
Apps without any background or foreground services are destroyed if you close them in task manager. Navbar Weather is running together with foreground service that is responsible for forecast at navigation bar. Right now there is couple of lines of code inside main app that tells foreground service to shut down if main app is closed/destroyed. I can change that easily, so I'll try add something to settings so you can select if you wish to run navigation bar weather forecast even if main app was closed. Thanks for pointing me out that

Thanks for pointed that out, I didn't know. That would be great.
I remember that some Samsung device doesn't have a nav bar because they got sensitive buttons under the screen on the frame, but I don't know how it behave at all then.
About Nova, I thought it happened with every opening animations but i was wrong, story.
But it actually happens every time when I press the home button from the home screen to open the search bar. It goes strange when the keyboard is popping out.

Please try out new 0.8.7 version of Navbar Weather I think it works now as it should, so even when you kill application in task manager Navbar Weather won't disappear.
That's right, devices with sensitive buttons under screen are not supported, if someone enable Navbar Weather - chart just won't appear.
About Nova, it looks like could be keyboard problem.

Great to hear that
Right now I'm planning to add UV index forecast, Weather Alerts (don't know yet how to put that on navigation bar, but it's just a plan right now), Air pollution forecast and in future - more weather providers to choose from. Currently trying to fix some bugs
Thank you very much for your support, if you have some ideas how to improve Navbar Weather - just let me know
App version is now 0.8.9.9, so most of bugs were fixed. Also now you can turn on UV Index forecast, which is really helpful to protect your skin.
