App Drawer Concept - Need Developer

I was thinking about a stand alone organized app drawer ( by stand alone i mean like "all apps organizer, you can find it on market).
This was my concept (very childish paint but you shoud get it)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The main objective of the app drawer is to have all the apps organized by type in the same "screen" and if they does not fit into one screen you can down scroll to see the remaining apps, just like a normal app drawer. Then to change type (like games,apps,utility,internet etc) just side scrool.
Everything would be organized alphabetically on a screen and there should be the ability to move an app throug the screen to change category. Last "screen" should be uncategorized and over there will be placed all the installed apps to be moved on the right category manually.
i don't know if this has been made but i think it could be a very good app drawer
sorry my english and say what you think about this concept
This post is to find someone that would like to develop this

There is something similar in ADW LauncherEX.
You can create groups of programs and swipe through them on the app drawer. Although it doesn't have any transition between the groups, it just changes, which is a bit dull.
I do love the idea though

i really like the concept!

This is a really great idea!
I think it would be even cooler if the app categorized the apps for you. If it gets a few wrong, you would still be able to move it to a different screen. I would hate going through each app to add it, if you know what I mean.

That's more like the webos style, pages and categories of apps. I like this design a lot.

This is MY IDEA!!
The day I bought my Captivate several months ago, its the first thing I thought of that Android could do with its app drawer that would make it awesome. Have all apps categorized by user created categories and then in alphabetical order with new programs automatically going into these categories or else placed in a temporary folder for the user to categorize them later on.
And then for navigation you could have a side scrolling menu that lists all the categories so that you can immediately jump to that category at the touch of a button. I have it completely mapped out how it would work in my mind, but unfortunately I have zero programming capabilities. Crap.

This is a very neat concept. I think it would be really cool for the app drawer to categorize all of your apps for you by default. Obviously there should be room to reorganize and create your own categories of apps as well.
Very neat!

Categorizing things is annoying just the first time then just install and move the application. With multi select it would be fast to move application.
The only thing we need now is a developer

I agree this is an awesome idea and would be much easier to use than the standard app drawer
By the way, the app AppCat is vaguelly similar to this idea but not very user friendly but i dont know if that helps with anything
RDS

I know this is on webOS phones, but great idea for Android! Sometimes I feel my app drawer is too cluttered, loving the idea.

I'm trying appcat to see what it is.
EDIT:
YEs, it categorizes verything but too many categories and is not ok for daily use as main app drawer. too long to find an app between those categories and interface

take a look at appGrouper aswell it may be closer to what you are looking for
RDS

actually, look at the home replacement tag home. It's app drawer is very close to what you want and is quite a nice launcher alternative

I already have a app organized app drawer (all apps organizer). I justed wanted to see if someone would like to develop my concept as i think is simpler,eye candy and effective.
And what home replacement are you talking can you post full name or link^^?

bump this topic still looking for developers

You could have been learning how to code for the entire time this thread was inactive! Then you would be able to bring your own idea to life.

Task'd - The Premiere To-Do List For Android™

Task'd is the premiere task manager and to-do list app for Android™ devices. It was designed with the user in mind to be beautiful, functional, and simple. The goal is to help you, the user, better manage your priorities and schedule.
The user interface is intuitive, with clearly marked and recognizable icons. Everything is right at your fingers, not hidden inside some obscure menu or tab. Editing a task is as simple as clicking it in the main list. Want to delete a task? Just long-press it and click delete.
Each task you create must have a name and a priority. Optionally, it can also have a due date and a description containing more details.
You can sort your tasks by priority (default), due date, order added, and alphabetically. You can also change the date format if you use a different standard than the default MM-DD-YYYY.
The full version of Task'd also includes a 4x1 homescreen widget that allows you to see all your tasks, or create a new one.
The free version will always remain one update behind the full version. Currently, it is only lacking the widget. Once the full version receives an update, the free version will get the widget, but not the new features. Bug fixes will still be rolled out as necessary.
Of course, the obligatory screenshots are attached at the end of the post. As for the QR codes with Market links:

Does it sync with google tasks?

Currently no, however sync with Google Tasks and proper Honeycomb support are the next two things on my list.

Really liking the look of this, am constantly on the lookout for a nicer task manager.
I love the simplistic approach and UI. One suggestion might be an option to turn off the custom font? It is pretty funky but a little overwhelming on the eyes when used everywhere..
Also like your idea of keeping the free version one behind the paid, an approach I haven't seen before Looking forward to see what the widget it like, if Im still using this in a couple of days will definitely get the pro version. Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely add in an option for the custom font. I can't get rid of it everywhere (specifically the buttons) but the option will let you ditch it in the task list and the edit/create screen.
I believe I've only seen the free behind paid model one or two other times, and I really liked it. It lets users see what they're getting in its entirety, yet still give them an incentive to upgrade.

Is there a way to sync between two users? Like myself and my girlfriend are looking for a syncing task list so we can put to-dos for each other without any manual effort.

If you set up Google Tasks sync with the same email account in the app, then they'll sync between devices. You don't need to use the same Google account on the phone itself, or on other devices, only when you set up sync in Task'd. I'll be sure to update this post once I get it updated.

Thanks baks for the feedback.
I have just pushed an update to the store which allows DealPad to run on Android 2.2+. This now allows approximately 95% of active Android devices to access the application.
To celebrate this release the Ad-Free version has been reduced to just 50pence.
As always I look forward to hearing feedback from you guys.

Amazing app, definitely the best “HotUkDeals” app on the market. However, I have a suggestion, would it be possible to add a slide function to move between panels?

Sorry just noticed your comment now. I have considered the slide between tabs. The reason it is not implemented currently is that when a tab is switched the deals are downloaded. So adding the slide to switch tabs doesn't feel right.
I will keep it on the to do list and see if I can cache some deals to make it feel more natural and fluid.
Let me know if you have any more requests/comments.

Ahh its fine. Could you not make the slide feature like the YouTube app? The page itself doesn’t actually freeze, so you still have the ability to slide/press a tab even though it’s loading. Caching the deals would be a good idea though, definitely more efficient.
By the way, I have also noticed the settings page doesn’t actually have a header?

By the way, have you thought about adding the ability to switch between holo light and holo dark themes. Just a thought

Yeah the way youtube implement it is nice. Sadly the way the deals are stored at the moment means I can't do that without changing the data structure which will be a bit of work.
Regarding themes, I am personally not a fan of holo dark but I have had a few requests so I can look into it. Unsure about black and orange though

Yeah I understand what you mean, hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to implement though as a slide function would be great. It would definitely make it easier to switch tabs on tablets.
The black and orange theme wouldn't be too bad in my opinion, not greatly important, but nice as an option.

Just pushed a small updated which allows tablet users to open deals in their main browser by default.
Let me know if you have any additional feature requests as I have a fair amount of time available to work on it these next few weeks

Just created a Google+ Community to give users access to beta versions of the application https://plus.google.com/communities/106913653955175355079.

New App - Amazing technology! The end of homescreen chaos!

What is it?
How many times have you rambled through your phone searching for an App? Wondering where in the world, among all those icons is the one you are searching.
Worry no more! That's what EZ-Launch is for.
To be honest, Ez-Launch is more of a widget than an app, and it helps you makes sense of your overburdened home screen.
How do I install it ?
Well, after you find " Ez-Launch " on google play store and download (Apologies for the absence of a link) and download, You add the Ez-Launch widget to your homepage, and EZ does the rest.
The app will learn your preferences and give you E-Z access to your favorite apps.
What if I don't want this app or that app on my widget? What choices do I have?
In purpose of enabling you more control we have defined a settings screen that enables you to select one of 3 options for every app installed on your device:
Always - This app will always be on the widget
Off - Never place this app on the widget.
Auto - Its up for the EZ-Launch app to decide.
In addition you also have the possibility to save a state of the widget (a certain collection of apps that you like) and load it later on as you please.
What?? How does it work? Is it... MAGIC!?
No. It isn't magic. It is a project developed by 4 Computer science students from Tel aviv University within an android technologies workshop in collaboration with Google.
During the project we have researched, studied and developed algorithms and heuristics (Yeah, sounds a bit complicated) all for your benefit and ease of mind. In order not to burden the reader, we will briefly just explain that the application service simply learns you, and knows how to give you the most convenient arrangement for your home screen that just continues to improve.
This is a project in the Beta phase, and we strongly recommend that you give it a try and download, especially if you know someone (Like your parents) that is having a hard time managing their home screen.
For those of you who don't know what Beta means, it is the phase right before the official release of the app, where you get to try it for free(!) and even influence the development by giving us your valuable feedback.
That's right! If you have complaints, suggestions, or any type of feedback just let us know by contacting the development team by mail:
[email protected]
Or on our Facebook page, where you can also LIKE us:
facebook.com/EzLaunch
So download, enjoy and let us know what you think.
Yours with love,
EZ-Launch Team.

This has quite the potential. I am amazed that I seem to be the only one trying it out here! I've been using it a couple of days now and it already gives me a great list of my most used widgets. I'm using it as a 5x3 widget on my note and thanks for making it scrollable as well! :thumbup:
I will recommend this! Thanks!

Great app indeed!
I only have one comment: while using it with Nova Launcher, resizing the widget 'kills' the way the icons are displayed, as I can only see half of the last row (for custom number of rows/columns).

good work with the app, reminds me of similar things with WinMo 6.x on my Sony Eric son X1 a while back. Would be nice to have resizable app icons within the widget though, if possible.

What a great idea! I am also surprised this app is not getting more attention. Nice work.

Thank you all for the positive feedback. We derive great pleasure in knowing that people like our creation and find it useful.
Besides from relishing on your compliments we would also like to hear any suggestions or complaints you might have. Do not hesitate to post here, email us at [email protected] or like us on facebook.com/EzLaunch
Thanks. :good:

sadly only for android 4 and up on store.
any chance to have it for gingerbread too???

Nice you planing on ability to change icons and text ...theme abilities.

Hi. Is it possible to have an option for the widget to return to the top of its list after launching an app? Would love to see this feature added if possible.

AW: New App - Amazing technology! The end of homescreen chaos!
Hi,
Nice app. Would be great if you could make icon text optional and a scale down for icons. Till now I used a launcher-x widget on my home screen that is 5x2 grid size and contains 7x3 icons of my most used apps.
As is use these apps often the text is not needed. By scaling down the icons I can just get more icons in it.
Pretty nice app so far. If you could implement some of these features it would be worth buying it.

I would also like to see theming compatibility. or a color overlay or icon size options.
thanks! looks like this thread is starting to roll!

Yes reset to apply work ones. Minor hassel

Hi,
i used the widget for about 12 hours now. Yesterday evening the widget was learning pretty well and presented my mosted used apps. This morning the widget presented totaly diffrent apps. Most of them i use very rare or even don't use at all.
Will let you know how it is doing the next days.

The last update from a couple of hours ago caused a reset. Just use your phone like normal and after a couple of hours or days the widget will automatically give you a better list.

[APP][4.1+] Snype - fastest way to access apps and contacts

Hi all!
I wasn't satisfied with any of the current methods of accessing all apps/contacts so I set out to create my own.
I present to you, Snype.
Snype has a unique dual-index system where switching between "snyping" apps and contacts is almost instant. It has changed the way I use my device and has done the same for many of my beta testers.
It also has a unique "side panel" mode where apps and contacts can be accessed simply by scrolling a finger up or down the edge of the display, which is always active no matter which app you are currently in. A list will appear and automatically begin scrolling to the location in the index that the finger is pointing to.
Snype does not try to replace your launcher. In fact, I designed it so that I would be able to use any launcher I like and not have to worry about the launcher's implementation of the app drawer. This means it's very easy to have a completely uncluttered, beautiful home screen and still be only a second away from accessing any app or contact you desire.
There are no ads and all functionality is available for free. The premium upgrade allows full customisation of the appearance of the lists.
Let me know how it goes for you!

I should mention that the premium upgrade is available for $0.99 for a short period of time to celebrate the launch of Snype. It will be a bit more later.

Some things to change:
- Add more languages
- if possible the alphabet lists have a title to know that one it is for apps, and the other for contacts.
- A widget and a direct access from home.

Thanks for the excellent feedback.
More languages is actually a surprisingly large challenge due to the indexes. It is something that I might look into again later, but when I was having a crack at it before there were some significant technical hurdles.
I have thought about doing something to let you know at a glance which is for apps and which is for contacts... like different colours or something. I'm not sure. Where do you think the title should go? There's not much room there.
I also looked into doing a widget. Unfortunately widgets don't support all kinds of views so making a widget with this functionality is impossible unless the launcher is built specifically for it. That's actually the main reason I implemented the side panels, because I knew the widget would not be possible.

ability to launch apps in halo would be nice. And maybe icon theme support. Very nice and useful app by the way:good:

I just released an update to fix some crashes in the initial release.

I just released an update which added animation to the side panels, adds Snype to the list of apps and fixes some bugs. I'm still trying to hunt down some bugs that occur only on some devices. Let me know if you have one of those devices please.

Okay, I think I've got all the known bugs fixed. Let me know if there's anything else wonky.

Just released an update with a new feature: favourites bar.
Now it's even faster to access those special few apps and contacts you use most often.

I love the ability to search contracts easily! And light theme looks cool.
Keep it up!:good:

Yeah, Samsung devices seem to do that. I'm not sure why, since even my Galaxy Nexus is pretty smooth and the Note 3 is much more powerful. I'll keep trying to make it smoother for you.
