Special thanks to Lokifish Marz (Russ) for helping out with the template of this page, as well as many, many suggestions related to this product.

can't sign in to google, i always end up on http://https://signin.google.com/... after entering my login data with 2-way-auth enabled (and yes, i tried removing one of the protocol identifiers)

@XlAfbk, are you trying to access http://signin.google.com/ ?
Or you are trying to sign into any Google service? By the way, I was able to sign into Gmail...
Please let us know, thanks alot =)

I dont understand the gestures. Is there a way to set your own? Is there a way to just go back or forward with a screen swipe? I see the yellow line but I dont see any settings for it.
Other then that, its passed my 10 minute test. Ill try it longer. Haven't tried flash yet, or sharing links, copy and paste. Cool ui though. Very miren.

@irish22022, thanks alot for your feedback.... we'll thinking of adding gestures setting in future releases.. =) Please stay tuned, and let us know any other feedback after more testing,,, thanks alot again Irish22022.

I'm trying to signin to any google service, e.g. mail, reader, directly from homepage, ...
problem prolly exists with 2-way-auth only, make sure to enable that for testing. I just confirmed the issue in SDK emulator, it's definitly a bug in your browser, doesn't happen in any other

@XlAfbk， thanks for reporting..... it's confirmed, and we're looking into it... =)

Hi,
Been using this for past couple of days.
Good points.
1 Fast but not the fastest
2 Instant back
3 RSS doesn't seem to auto start any more
4 Nice layout
Bad points
1 Uses way too much memory, only had Maxthon running with one tab but it was using over 95mb & between 0 & 60% of CPU
2 No real way to customise search engines, always searches google.com & not google.co.uk
3 Start page with the collapsible links looks like Miren & again doesn't seem to allow changing or editing the links
All in all a lot better than v1 but still some room for improvement, suffice to say uninstalled dolphin mini to use this as backup browser as Xscope Pro is main browser.
Cheers,
Banzi.

1. If you open a secure link from another app (say my friend sends me a Facebook link, https://Facebook.com...) then it puts HTTP:// in from of the already existing protocol designator. That should be fixed.
2. It still has the issue where sometimes on opening it it will reopen links that I've clicked before in a new tab and I have to close it.
3. You should definitely get flash options working (e.g. always on, click to play, etc) because A. flash ads are annoying and mess with mobile formatting and B. they use a lot of memory.
4. It would be really nice if we could choose what the default page is, like bookmarks or a new tab page or something. I never use the home page with all those links, I'd like to be able to open the browser straight to whatever page I want.
5. This isn't an issue, just personal preference... I love that you guys got themes working, but I don't really like glossy gradients, like on the tab. I think it would look better if it were just a dark gray to medium gray from the bottom to the top of the tap to give it a shadowy look instead of shiny. (that's on the gray theme of course but the same principle would apply.)
All in all, great work and you guys have really improved this browser.

@BanziBaby, thanks for trying it out. It is the bad points that we pay extra attention to. The bad points are great great suggestions...

@sageDieu, thanks much for taking the time to give us these comments.
Yes, we're aware of the issue with secure links. =(
Also, we LOVE the default page suggestion from you......

I believe one good way to conserve memory would be to have flash click to play as I suggested. I've noticed very major memory spikes when even a couple of simple flash ads are loading on a site. And on some music blogs and things that have a lot of little flash players (like up to 20 on a page) it becomes almost unusable.
you're welcome btw, glad to help. I love beta testing and bug reporting
Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500

Nice work guys, just downloaded and tried out:
I would have few notes for first sight
1. When you drag the page and try to scroll up/down there is at about 5-7 millimeters of finger-move when nothing happens. Scrolling shoud be instant and not laggy. BTW at the same time for basic scrolling movements (r/l/u/d) appears the yellow line too, which is useless as far as it's not a gesture.
suggestion: no line for scrolling gestures
try to find cause of that lag
2. When I enter an URL and the page appears i like to have an overview of the whole page first in order to find the interesting part easily.
suggestion: It would be good to have page overview as default page loading method or at least a switcher in the settings for it.
3. Entering URL during browsing is not comfortable.
-there's no possibility of that in fullscreen mode
-in normal mode you have to scroll to the top, but the url bar is still not there, THEN u grab the page again and pull it down: now u can see the bar.
suggestion: easiest would be when u push the menu button the url bar appears too, or at least a button for the menu for new page; both in normal/fullscreen mode
Thx, it's a really good start
edit: forgot to mention - Samsung Galaxy S

Another bug found. When posting in forums (this one for example) you are unable to attach files. This is not an issue with the stock browser, Firefox Mobile or Miren.
Also. What's the word on flash content floating above the browser UI and a "Desktop UI" option?
(Having the two threads is a little confusing. Hopefully this is the right thread for 2.0.)

@marcedli,
suggestion 1) is very very nice, and we're aware of this now
suggestion 2) what do you mean by the page overview?
suggestion 3) I am seeing the addressbar when I browser, are you referring to a particular page when you browse and you dont see the addressbar?
Thanks for all the great feedback.... =)

@Lokifish Marz, thanks for reporting the bug of not able to attach files
"What's the word on flash content floating above the browser UI and a "Desktop UI" option?", i know that you dont mean by UA strings, but can you elaborate a little more?
Also, what do you mean by two threads? You mean I have two threads for Maxthon Mobile in XDA? Thanks much =)

If you guys get the file upload and flash/iframe issue fixed you'll be ahead of everybody else. Only the stock browser has file upload, proper flash/iframe binding and flash playback.
Examples of a "Desktop UI" As far as the feature set, it's covered in the linked thread. If you have more questions or need more specific details then feel free to PM me.

The only problems I have is it closes your tabs now when you try to goto another app and come back
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Some other observations,
Opening a boo0kmark always opens in a new tab even if open in new tab isn't ticked in options.
As the poster above says if you use the built in task switcher on galaxy S the browser always seems to open another tab that replicates one that is already open.
Can't seem to find a way to use speed dial as main page rather than the links page there is the now or is that the speed dial page?
On demand option for flash is needed badly as all the flash ad's slow down browsing.
More themes or support for user themes (the gray theme is more blue than grey & a black theme would be nice)
Keep up the great work, damn fine browser you have made.
Cheers,
Banzi.

@BanziBaby, thanks for all the great feedback.
On demand flash and flash playback is already in the works..
the speed dial page is the page when you open a new tab...=)

WOW! I've been using TeamViewer to do this until now!
Thank you very much! Gonna try it as soon as I get home and post the results!
____________________________
Didn't get around to posting last night, but here's a quick review:
- in the ~15 minutes I played around with it, it behaved really well!
- I only once got disconnected (but that was probably the network's fault), but soon afterwards it reconnected normally
- I really like all the options present (congrats for including all the normal stuff we do with our video players ), but if I may, I have a suggestion: when going from one interface to the other, the user has to slide a finger on the screen... if he/she isn't careful, then upon sliding, the volume will get turned down instead of the new screen appearing. Also, the user has no way of knowing that there are other screens present... so, I would make use of the tabs interface present everywhere in Android (this would also sort the sliding thing).
Even better, I would merge the first two interfaces, maybe keep the slider for seeking and use a "volume increase" (that triangular thing made of bars) graphic for the... volume part , as well as make the play/pause a toggle rather than two buttons.
I hope this helps... thank you again for your work and once again: great stuff!

I agree with everything said above... ESPECIALLY how good this app is
I use BSPlayer for all Tv Shows and this comes in SO handy.
wonderful job!
I know I'm jumping way forward but it just occurred to me now that you could also use the same interface for different media players in the same app. all the user has to do is choose the media player he'd like to control and.. voila!
I'm willing to beta test of course.

Amazing! Thankyou! I alternate between BSPlayer and GOMPlayer, as I find GOMPlayer easier to control remotely, but this may cause me to switch
I particularly love how smooth browsing folders and files are (one point: I have a folder with 800 unsorted files in it, and this caused the server software to crash, which is no biggie really, considering the strain I put it under!)
I ditto the comments above, and will add that I did not find the second interface until I saw this post. Also, I cannot find out how to launch BSPlayer, and cannot launch files until I've opened BSPlayer (which means I can't dump the mouse just yet!).
Also, there's inconsistencies in how the Back button works, which means I sometimes end up exiting the app when actually I just want to go back to the first interface.
(also I do agree on merging the main interfaces, or finding additional functions to make two screens necessary).
But overall, and for a first release, THIS IS AMAZING!! THANKYOU

Thank you for all this feedback.
I will fix all bugs you noticed and redo design a little so it will be more user friendly and more obvious for new users.
New release coming soon =)

Can you describe a little more how you managed to crash server?
And does it happen always on that folder?

New version of application is available on market.

Hey, Few recommendations.
1. Increase the size of the playng title.
2. unify 2 of the screens - have the volume, seek bar, play, pause and stop on the same screen (it's just so much more intuitive) and keep the playlist on another.
3. add an option to control multiple hosts by searching the LAN for the server. there are many homes with more than one media playing computer.
4. add a feature to load the imdb page (mobile browser)/imdb page (imdb app) of the currently played (or in the playlist) movie/tv show.
I love this app.
Thank you.

oh oh, also, if you could add an option to change the aspect ratio.. it would be nice.

Thank you for recommendations.
1. will be done
2. Well basic idea for 2 separate screens was that most basic controls play/stop/pause and volume are separated from others just to make pressing buttons simple. So you don't mistakenly press something else.
3. In next version autodetect for server will be implemented and in case of multiple detected servers user can choose where to connect.
4. Do you know how to get full title of a movie out of a file name that is not always name of a movie?
5. Will be added in next release

getting the title should depend on the file name. if the user is accurate enough, his files would be named accordingly. there are usually general patterns to the name (e.g. moviename.year.release....)
moreover, you can let the user write the pattern in which his files are named..

Hi, I did send this as a private message, but I thought I'd put it in the thread too:
First of all, I love it, I'm interested to see if it will edge out GRemote as my remote of choice. I think it will...
Some more UI things:
1) I love the file browsing interface - it's so smooth and clear, very nice!
2) I feel like the interface is missing a "Browse" button, otherwise you have to touch a hardware button, which feels more effort.
3) I'd also consider having the App open on the browse page, at least when it's opened for the first time.
4) I like the "quick remote" idea of the first screen, but I still miss having a Volume Remote on the second screen (alongside the progress bar)
5) When scrolling between screens it's quite easy to knock the progress bar
6) Thanks for improving the "Back" button but it still feels easy at time to exit the app, compared to how other apps work.
I've written this in a hurry so may send some more tomorrow or soon!
But again, it's becoming v good!
Also, you (gapipro) asked how I crashed the app with 800 files - I can't tell you now as I can't replicate it - as you fixed it! - but just to clarify, I crashed the app and not the server - I think it just froze or I force-closed it after a minute or something.
Anyway, BSRemote is now my official media remote!!
Potential ideas:
1) Have a "skip 10 seconds back/front" button
2) Pause playback on incoming phone-call
3) Have a very simple widget or two (for, e.g. Play/Pause), so I can have a control button directly on my homescreen!
4) If possible, screengrab a preview of the video, to display in the App.
5) As stated above, launch the App with the Browse menu, and have Browse as a soft-button on the interface.
6) Either have a very simple update process for the server (the best one to my mind is the one inside uTorrent) - and possibly have the updated .apks within the server, which can be pushed to the phone automatically - or even do the exact opposite, where you download the updated App from the market, and contained within it is the PC update, which then gets pushed to the PC. (Either way, it makes this a one-step update process and I hereby copyright this idea under the name "Updat-Ed" )
Much love!!

Thanks for another response
A lot of your ideas are very interesting and they will be implemented in next few releases.
Don't know if you have noticed but 10s front/back can be made by pressing + or - buttons under seek bar. And you can even change "length" of skip by pressing seek button (the clock like icon).
About that problem with switching panel. Do you swipe your finger to switch or you use that left and right hidden buttons?

New version 1.2.1 is available for download from market.
Change log (1.2.1):
- server autodetection
- support for aspect ratio
- buttons for next and previous item in playlist
- optimized usage of battery
- fixed few bugs and other stuff

Thanks for the newest update! Checking now... To answer your question, I'm swiping my finger, not the hidden buttons.

Another quick release 1.2.2 that fixes few bugs. =)
@smeddy: Yes swiping finger can be hard on 2nd panel thats why those buttons were made so you can switch panel without hitting anything. Or you can even use trackball if you have it.

New release 1.2.3 that fixed connection bug.

I know I'm jumping way forward but it just occurred to me now that you could also use the same interface for different media players in the same app. all the user has to do is choose the media player he'd like to control and.. voila!

gapipro... was just wondering if the mentioned above is still taken under consideration
especially the multiple media players part.
Btw, I didn't really notice if the font of the playing title was increased..
Again, thank you so much for the wonderful work.

nir36: The best program to do what you want is GRemote. I'm a big fan of it, although BSRemote has now eclipsed it for my needs, and I've switched to using BSPlayer from other players such as GOMPlayer/VLC/WMP/XBMC etc. on my PC.

GRemote is too complicated and too graphical in my opinion. It's also not straightforward. You have many options which are just not necessary for me. bsremote is absolutely perfect when it comes to a media player remote... especially considering that BSPlayer is such a popular one.
thx tho.

Contact Searches will be nice i guess, really helps the elderly with their T9 recognition Gonna subscribe!

Its very good, very smooth. You hace just cleared my homescreen of lots of apps. The only thing left in my homescreen are Dial an App, Browser, Google Maps and Iron Man 3.
Aesthetic wise, I feel like it needs more improvement, but hey, thats only graphical part. the core part is flawless.
Suggestion: Perhaps user will be able to 'dial up' settings? You know, like going directly to the WiFi settings, or directly to storage setting to eject USB on the go, or more importantly turning on the USB debugging inside the developer mode. I'm sure this will be a major request. Although you should also add a setting whether to enable dialing up shorcut settings or not, not all people want it.
Suggestion: I guess you need to add a setting page if you want to corporate more feature, as most people want to use certain feature and dont want to use certain feature.
Idea: There are some people that hide certain app and dont want people to see it, I guess it will be a bad situation if your app shows their hidden app.

Great app, will they be a paid version? Not a fan of the ads, would give a couple bucks to get rid of them!
Sent from my Nexus 7

Yes there will be an ad-free paid version as soon as I integrate contact search and a few other features in the upcoming version.
Keep the feed backs coming, helps me make this better and better.

What about apps with space in their name? The current version dont have any space input.

I suppose you wouldn't have to type the words after the space as , as soon as you are type the first word i.e the one before the space you will have that app in the grid already, for example: typing "Google" will give u "Google Play", " Google Music" , "Google Music" etc already on scren making it easier to choose, also you can easily type just the word after the space like "Music" that will give you "Google Music" too thereby saving an additional button press for "space"
correct me if I am wrong.

Interesting app. I have a couple of suggestions on how to improve it more:
The app shouldn't show up in recent apps, as people will probably access it through a shortcut and use it to launch other apps
It would be better user experience if the dialer was drawn over your current app, instead of using your wallpaper as a background -- this would give a more fluid app launching and changing experience instead of the current feeling of being taken away from your current activity
It would be nice to be able to change the app icon grid and icon sizes -- some people will want fewer but bigger icons, some people will prefer longer list with smaller icons
Since there's quite a lot of screen space for listing the apps, you could implement (an optional) row of recently launched/recently used apps. I think a lot of users are really just switching between 4-5 most common apps and this would make the interaction faster.
In addition, there could be an option to pin a favorite app(s)
Lastly, it's not at all obvious how one can change the keypad colors (long-press on clear seems to do it), and you are left wondering if there are other settings available as well (like changing the grid size)
Like I said, the app looks great and works well too.

Duly Noted !

I suppose you wouldn't have to type the words after the space as , as soon as you are type the first word i.e the one before the space you will have that app in the grid already, for example: typing "Google" will give u "Google Play", " Google Music" , "Google Music" etc already on scren making it easier to choose, also you can easily type just the word after the space like "Music" that will give you "Google Music" too thereby saving an additional button press for "space"
correct me if I am wrong.

I wasn't aware, I'll have to check, however Dial an App is soon going to be a complete Dialer and a part of my upcoming Homescreen launcher, you can give it a try and see for yourself all the features. Your feedback will be appreciated.

You know, I'm a right handed. My phone screen size is 4.7 inch diagonal. The situation now is that, after there's only one app left in the screen, its all the way at the top left, which is quite a stretch for my thumb. You might even have problem with this yourself. So I was thinking maybe after one app has left, the app will be highlighted (somehow) and brought to the center, that would be better I think. or maybe you can just touch anywhere on the screen and it will launch that app. Or just add another button that will launch that one app left standing.
You konw, this reminds me of Ubuntu OS, which is quite similar. Maybe you take insperation from these? My point is, after a few letter, the app that you want might be the first app in the list, so you can just tap a button and it will launch the first app in the selection. Of course for me, I feel it will be better if the app selection there will have some sort of popularity calculation to determine which one comes first,kind of like when you type iin the address bar in Firefox, most frequently visited site will appear first in the list.

Awesome app. Saves you some time.
Reserved. For future updates.
If you have like a hell lot of apps on your phone, this is the app the one you'd expect to save you some great amount of time. Would love to see further updates and appreciate your work. Subscribed.

Awesome app and a great idea! Can't wait for the paid version!
One small request - can you make a widget out of it? This would be an awesome full screen widget to replace my standard home screen (or maybe put it a page over from the home screen).

Contact Search would be awsome man!
luciferabby said:
Yes there will be an ad-free paid version as soon as I integrate contact search and a few other features in the upcoming version.
Keep the feed backs coming, helps me make this better and better.

When you integrate the feature, dude i'll love you..... for now i use app dialer pro because it provides a home screen widgets but as soon as you release the widget for app, app dialer pro is going to trash...... loved your app, sorry but i'm still not switching... i'll stay with you though, subscribing the thread.

[App] [7.+] FOSS Browser [Open Source]

Github-Releases: Here you can find latest app-releases. These are debug versions.
Github-latest: Here you can download the debug version with the latest changes. It is like an alpha version for the next update ...
F-Droid

Pretty interesting so far, some things:
-Youtube cant do fullscreen
-Why does it always search in this sp engine even URLs
-Adblock would be cool

Nice design. Has basic features with some extras. Is it just me or scrolling's not smooth enough?

Thanks for your response...
To open a url you had to beginn with "http..." I changed this in the current version now "www..." is enough. I don't think that I will implement Adblock because there are several apps, which can do this better.
Update V2:
- YouTube now can open fullscreen
- opening urls is easier

Thanks @Gaukler_Faun for this new FLOSS app!
I'm going to install your browser and I'll post a feedback ASAP.
Added to my list
EDIT: which license do you use?

I will use gpl v3. If I have time today I will add it on github. As said it is planned to be released on F-Droid. At the moment I'm working on the context menu for the lists and some ui improvenents.
If since then no new issues are reported I'm going to release the app.
Thanks for your feedback and adding the app to your list.

Good idea. Threads are full of adblock questions once it's implemented...
This is a great browser with interesting features (save screenshot of the whole web page is useful).
Some suggestions/questions:
• There's no tabs. Do you plan to add them?
• Enable/Disable Javascript per website
• User agent
• Edit bookmark
• Set a homepage
• Export / Import bookmark
• Hide status bar while browsing (optionnal)
• Text reflow
• Unable to select the current URL from the omnibox (pressing the URL bar to search is not a good idea IMHO)
• Swipe to the bottom from the URL bar also closes the app (not explained in the Help menu)
• Pinch in isn't handy sometimes because the app wants to refresh.
• Unable to access to the General settins while browsing. I have to close the app to return to the first screen.
• I checked Form data in the general settings but I have nothing in 'Open PassStorage' after being logged in to XDA.
• Why do we always have https://www.startpage.com in the Open passStorage window?

Hi! I tried your browser (release and release2) and it seems to be fast and lightweight to open. :highfive: But whenever I tap on the magnifier, app FC. :crying: No matter if I write a word or a URL in the search box. I'm on my Moto G 2014, CM12.1, and xposed. Others webview-based web browsers work fine in my device. Any idea what could be the problem? Thanks!

Hi, there! As I said, I have others webview-based browsers and they work fine, whether I search for a term or for a URL in their own search bar. And I don't have any default search engine such as Google search bar, if that's what you meant. About the log, as I'm a complete noob, I downloaded AndyLog to create one (it's in XDA ). This is my first time with logs so, please be gentle, and I don't know if it's going to be useful at all :silly:. Please, tell me if there's anything else I can do to help.

There's no specific bar for each search engine. You can define one in the general settings and it is used when searching something from the URL bar.
Thanks for the log. FYI you could use MatLog (open source) and here is a tutorial to record a log: Easiest Way to Utilize Matlog

Thanks for your suggestion on Matlog. It's easy to use. :victory: So I upload the log with this tool too, just in case its logs are more useful. :highfive: No hurry, of course, but do you -or OP- have any idea why it FCs when searching? Thanks!:good:

There's no tabs. Do you plan to add them?
I don't even know if it is possible to implement tabs in a webview. It is not the normal way without tabs, but if you are used to it you don't miss them. The history and readLater list are a good replacement. So I don't plan to integrate tabs.
Enable/Disable Javascript per website
I thought about it and have some ideas to implement. But I think it's a lot of work ... So maybe some time in future... You can "quicktoggle" javascript in the settings (will be "retoggelt" when you restart the app.
User agent
I tried to implement it but with no success. User agents seemed to be controlled over javascript interfaces on the websites. Also different websites have different ways to recognize the useragent (link).
Edit bookmark
Is implemented (long click on a entry).
Set a homepage
At the moment i don't want to implement.
Export / Import bookmark
Implemented in the settings (backup/restore).
Hide status bar while browsing (optionnal)
Good idea and not much work. Will be implemented. Do you mean only statusbar or also the omnibox?
Text reflow
Google removed this feature from webview with KitKat.
Unable to select the current URL from the omnibox
That I won't change. You can copy the link in the clickboard over the menu (share).
Swipe to the bottom
removed in latest release (v3).
Pinch in isn't handy
There are also some other minor bugs while webview is loading. I will work on it...
Unable to access to the General settins
Implemented in current version (v3)
I checked Form data
Google also removed saving password in a webview. Some websites (p.e. github) are storing the login data in cookies. Enabling cookies solves the problem on some sites. When I implement the whitelist for javascript, there will be also on for cookies... You can save a website in the passStorage over the menu (save website). There you can enter login data. Login data will then be copied to the clipboard (just try it out). The passStorage list has also a long click menu.
Why do we always have...
This is needed to create the databases. There must be at least one entry per list. When you saved more than one entry you can delete the default entry...
Again big thanks to you for testing my app and making suggestions to improve it. As you see some things are already done.
Regards
Gaukler Faun

New update v3
v3:
quick settings in the browser
Android N app shortcuts
ui improvements (edit bookmarks, enter login data)
some minor improvements
Please make a clean install. There are many changes under the hood...
 @CLPose I didn't find a solution until now. Perhaps you should use the default keyboard and try it with the new version. I changed some code concerning the keyboard...

1. Actually tabs are very useful (that's why we have them in most of web browsers ). For instance, you are on a forum and you have to do some tests on the website. You need 2 tabs to switch between the website and the forum.
Tabs are also handy when opening several websites from a RSS feed.

I'm creating this thread to invite anyone that have interest in using Android launcher app to get some user experience feedback and post it here for me. Please also test if it has some bugs, the phone manufacturer/model and which ROM you're running are all needed very much for me to fix them.
Sorry, for now is English only, soon I'll put back the other languages.
People always need to use smart phone with one hand while driving, working, drinking coffee or eating something, and the large screen smart-phone made you very difficult to use at that time.
OF Launcher used newly design with longitudinal slide, one finger will touch things easily. Users can slide to open multiply drawer with customized wallpapers which will get an unprecedented visual experience.
OF Launcher shows your apps at the bottom where you can touch them easily, without icons and widgets cluttered your beautiful desktop. Then, an amazing thing will happen. You can set your own pictures or even stars’ posters as app folders’ wallpapers, which will be shown on your phone screen totally, and these personalized wallpapers will make your phone stylish.
Rather than spending a long time in other old launchers with all your 10 fingers, just swipe and slide to manage your Android with one finger will be a better choice. The quick access app drawer let you get where you need to go comfortably. 10+ desktop gestures allows convenient access to your favorite apps, system settings, switches and all your phone widget with just one hand. You can add more folders and arrange your favorite apps to always be within your reach.
APK is available here:
www.oflauncher.com/oflauncher.apk
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two years ago, the company was able to get a seed fundings $70000 as a startup. However, it’s too difficult to have someone believing in launching something amazing and win lots of fan’s love from Google Play. So this program was stopped many times. However, with many people’s help, OF Launcher come out finally.
One finger control features:
- Hold wallpaper to edit your current folder’s name, apps and wallpapers
- Slide left/right to open drawer, slide again to enter manage page
- Create new folders in manage page, click folder name to delete or hide it from prying eyes
- Sometimes when the folder name keeps bouncing, it means there are more apps in the folder
- Drag icon right/left to open drawer
- Drag icon into Create Folder to create a new folder
- Drag icon up/down then hold and wait, you’ ll be sent there
- Long tap icon-> move -> hold for 0.7 sec to launch floating slider!
- Long tap an application to rename, delete or uninstall it
- Widget: Weather forecast widget, Music widget, shortcut widget, settings and more

It's an awesome concept for a launcher...I know it's in early stage but still I would say it need a lot more refinement.I am running it on a Redmi Note 3 with official MIUI Dev ROM version 6.12.15.
Some suggestions from me
1. Please add icon pack support for the launcher
2. Support for system animations
3. Try not to use in-built music player, make it as a controller for the player that's running.
4. Make the side menu on both sides work by edge swipe. Feels better
5. Option for custom app groups
6. You may provide widgets in the wallpaper area which are related to the current app menu/app group eg. On home group it may show weather and time or something (news feeds maybe) in the same way music shows music control social may show social feed (I guess you get it now )
7. If the above request is done, the menu on the right will be free for your awesome imagination.
8. Provide option for live wallpapers in even though it's in the area where wallpaper is, as KLWP+OF launcher will do wonders.

considering bots? like google asistant

Consider not using Google for only download. Till then I cannot use willingly

APK update.
Hi
Here is OF Launcher APK shared on my google drive.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9ysdhkEPKVKU1pPTXNZdmdmSUE

Sony M2 Aqua - EagleXperience (based on 5.1.1) with locked bootloader & xposed
So far I LOVE this! It's perfect in terms of being customizable but not overwhelming. (I often waste lot of time planning out a homescreen only to tell myself I'll get to finishing it eventually.)
I pretty much agree with the above comment (icon packs would be cool; more widgets, though I like the way they look on the hidden side menu, etc.)
1. I like the wallpaper that shows up when the launcher first starts up, the black/orange space one, but can't find it in the folder wallpaper picker. Can you make that one available?
2. Other than the home folder, the app drawer isn't functional. I tap on any app and it says "unknown" (screenshot won't attach). They do open from the home folder, though. (Also can you make the "trending" and pandora box fully hideable?)
3. It takes a while for newly-downloaded apps to show up in the launcher.
4. Allow non-google engines in the search widget. Connect the music widget to the media player app.
5. It seems to use a lot of space, especially for how simple it is, but I haven't scrutinized every other launcher to compare, so maybe it's normal.

So far I LOVE this! It's perfect in terms of being customizable but not overwhelming. (I often waste lot of time planning out a homescreen only to tell myself I'll get to finishing it eventually.)
I pretty much agree with the above comment (icon packs would be cool; more widgets, though I like the way they look on the hidden side menu, etc.)
1. I like the wallpaper that shows up when the launcher first starts up, the black/orange space one, but can't find it in the folder wallpaper picker. Can you make that one available?
2. Other than the home folder, the app drawer isn't functional. I tap on any app and it says "unknown" (screenshot won't attach). They do open from the home folder, though. (Also can you make the "trending" and pandora box fully hideable?)
3. It takes a while for newly-downloaded apps to show up in the launcher.
4. Allow non-google engines in the search widget. Connect the music widget to the media player app.
5. It seems to use a lot of space, especially for how simple it is, but I haven't scrutinized every other launcher to compare, so maybe it's normal.

The features you guys need will be considered seriously by me. (icon packs would be cool; more widgets, though I like the way they look on the hidden side menu, etc.)
1. I will.
2. It's a bug, a new APK sloved this problem will update here.
3. It's a bug, I will solve it next week.
4.I will.
5.I will improve the whole code.

A last beta version, official version will be released this month
Hi all,
Here is a last beta APK you can download
http://www.oflauncher.com/oflauncher.apk
What we need you help to test this time before official version launch:
1. Is there any other problems when you are updating?
2.Will it make your phone crash or slow?
Let me know the problems’ details, so that I can check it and improve OF Launcher in the next 10 work days. I will focus on solving this kind of problems. Thank you in advance.

no longer can find app in google play. Am I missing the updates? Also is it possible to maybe group apps in a small folder that could be placed on picture area on top of each app folder. An if so can it be an optional to show same said mini folders on top of all main folder pic rather than have to make same mini folder for on pic on each main folder.Also maybe instead of making it compatible with icon packs. You could just make an option to change Icon picture to a personal gallery pic you can resize.Love your launcher. Willing to pay up to 20$ just to keep add free. Also not sure if it's been mentioned. But on samsung s7 edge you can't put same app in different folders.Automatically removes from previous folder once added to a new one.I think you may of fixed this but also notice when switching from hd,to fhd,or wqhd apps start disappearing.Once said resolution switched and kept on for a day said appsdo eventually return.Thank you again for hard work. Sould be top ten launcher 2017.

Good job!

Hey, I've update a new version. Please have a try and give me some feedback.

Launcher settings backup ?
Would you be able to add backup option for launcher settings. Whenever the app crashes, i ll have to redo all the settings. Instead it would be easier to restore from backup
Thanks

@lepb Hey! your work have been feature here! Nice job!

Just installed. I must say it's a very fluid launcher. Keeping a clean home screen with the draws sliding out is real nice. Great job! Looking forward to the future updates.

Hey everyone. I'm the developer behind Fishpowered browser. I've been working on this in my spare time for the past couple of years and am starting to feel more comfortable in sharing my progress!
Here are some reviews from the Play store to whet your appetite...
This is THE BROWSER! There is simply nothing like it out there! I'm a geek obsessed browser lover and I cannot believe it! It has it all! Speed, customisation, takes very little space! And the cats on top of all as if it wasn't enough with just being the best there is!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Epic!! Developers might have gone and made the best browser app for Android. Customisation options are great.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Im absolutely blown away how good this browser is, and its super user friendly. And I really love the gestures. Keep up the awesome work.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've totally just over hyped it but I needed your attention. This is actually my first android app (I'm a web dev by trade) and my technical abilities don't match my ambition yet, but it's getting a little closer with every release!
Why should you care about Fishpowered browser?
There are browser conventions that are widespread and probably shouldn't be e.g. UI layouts that require hand gymnastics, "bookmarks", browsing history etc. I've tried to re-design everything with a fresh pair of eyes.
What are my motivations?
Having a successful project
Building something that protects my privacy and lets me uninstall many other apps on my phone
Making a browser that gets rid of all the spammy cr*p you see on sites these days
Helping people out with internet addiction and responsible internet/phone usage. This is not something that's actually in the browser yet (I've been trying to build a solid base first) but is coming in the future and I have some interesting ideas for it.
Making a browser that works well with one hand
Making a browser that's good for language learning (I'm trying to learn Finnish)
How do I make money?
I don't. There is zero ads/spyware/crapware and there never will be. If it ever gets really popular (maybe 100k+ active users? I dunno haha) I would monetise it by selling themes and accepting donations. Nothing that compromises anyone's privacy. But I only have a few hundred users so I guess that's not likely to ever happen.
Is it open source?
Nope, not while it's still being developed. You can follow the development and see the code on Twitch though (channel: fishpowered)
How can I trust this?
Good question which is unfortunately difficult to answer. As mentioned above I try to do a lot of coding on twitch. I also made a video where I download Fishpowered and the major anti-virus apps from the play store and ran through all the tests so you don't have to: www.twitch.tv/videos/877039346 If you watch the video you'll see why this would be incredibly hard for me to fake because of the infinite picture in picture.
Do not trust any download links outside of this post and Google play store as I have nothing to do with all those other APK sites.
What's bad with it/still left to do?
It's built on the Android webview component which is essentially a wrapper for Chrome. This has the advantage that you get security updates instantly (whenever Chrome is updated) but also has some limitations as it wasn't really designed for being a full-on web browser. For example, I try to add a lot of context sensitive help e.g. if you select some metric/imperial unit in a recipe, it will convert the unit for you, but things like this won't work inside webpages that use iframes (e.g. Google AMP) because webviews can't view selections inside an iframe. Performance isn't amazing either, if you have an old device, you may struggle a bit.
Lastly there are some other things that could obviously be added/improved but simply don't make sense for me to spend time on yet if they will take ages or are very niche features, it's just me working on it in my spare time.

Having a quick play around with fishpowered browser and I really like it.
Kudos...and welcome to XDA

Made some Fishpowered themed mobile wallpapers as well if anyone's interested...
Download from deviantart: https://www.deviantart.com/fishpowered/gallery/74845548/mobile-phone-wallpapers

Wow, a powerful browser with 3.7Mb app size... Gotta try that

Recommendations
Ability to import bookmarks
Ability to not play videos instantly when page opened(site settings)
When typing an address of a site that visited before, whole address of that site can appear in the address bar
When typing something in address bar, search results should be positioned below the middle of the screen, close to the address bar(to help one hand usage)
When using swipe up to close a tab, it should also check the swipe speed/distance of finger, instead of checking only swiped-to position in order to make fast but short distance swipes work

Thanks for the feedback. Most of this was already on my todo list. The bottom alignment of the search results is tricky though without completely changing how the speed dial works as those screens show all sorts of things and the point is u can filter those as well, not just the suggestions. I will try to improve it as I obviously want it to work on phones with tall screens too

Bruh, this is my new Naked Browser. Love it! My only future request is to be able to arrange the favorites..drag and drop maybe?

Browser keeps logging me out sites after some time. If I go into incognito mode, I'm logged out when I return to default tabs.

Should be fixed in 1.4.0! Never thought this was possible due to not being able to change the default cookie manager but I found a workaround.

This works for me.

Great browser, been using it as my main browser for 2 days and it works well, sans packed with nice features.
Only issue I've encountered so far is that LastPass isn't working properly. Instead of detecting which website I'm browsing, LastPass only detects the browser itself (eg. Fish powered) so it doesn't propose any password for the site I'm on.

I've submitted a bug report to Google. Unfortunately the autofill API doesn't work and the console log gives me no useful indication as to why and documentation is scarce. You might be able to workaround this by pinning your current tab to the mini window and then trying from there as it least in the preview window the autofill works with Google's default autofill

The issue with not restoring the session when leaving incognito mode is fixed in v1.4.0 (hopefully out in the next 2 or 3 weeks). I found a workaround

I was having the same issue with Vivaldi browser for Android. I looked on their forums and they have a thread regarding this. The devs on there have talked about this same issue and apparantly it's not something easy to fix... Here's the thread, if it has any value to you :
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/40036/lastpass/20
Specifically in the last page:
In order to support Android Autofill API, we need to get on Android's compatibility list. How to get on this list is something the team has been trying to figure out, but we've exhausted quite a few options without much success.

Thank you bruh. I understand that you are still learning. I would like the ability to drag and drop tabs. Also, could you make the option to make tabs smaller so we can fit more than 3? I will now go to donate.

1.4.0 Released! Will be available on Google Play Store in the next 1-7 days (once it gets approved).
Alternatively, check the OP for apk download although if you are already installed using the play store it is recommended to stay on that.

what an awesome browser!
My thoughts:
1) needs setting to enable desktop mode by default. the desktop toggle always resets to OFF when you enter a new url. some websites detect the device and forces redirect to mobile site pages and doesn't allow desktop view.
2) backup and restore all active tabs and settings. for long term use and saving all actives tabs to say, an html file or plain text.
3) html content hide feature is awesome, very nice. dark mode is great.
4) more quick actions and customisations please
will keep on using daily to test and report on bugs.
