Hi just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this random menu bar that's appeared on my phone? I've closed all applications with es task manager and it's still there. I'm running Jellybeans on a galaxy note 2
If anyone can direct me where to get rid of it would be most appreciated.
Cheers guys!
Do you mean the bar on the side with the icons?
I think the phone has TSF shell launcher, try a launcher like apex or nova

If that doesn't work you can try this app
I had a app popup as the playstore, and it was a spam type popup from an app i installed a long time ago, DOWNLOAD AIRPUSH detector also as a double check if experience any abnormal popups to your GUI . it found the app and i uninstalled it ASAP (it was a workout app)
That popup is not abnormal, it is a feature of the last update. It's called multi-card, and allows you to manage 2 or more applications simultaneously on the screen; if you drag one of the icons on the desktop it opens the corresponding application, and if you drag another will open the new application under the one that is opened before
That's amazing cheers guys! It was properly bothering me becaues it would pop up every now and then and I didn't know why!
Is it possible to add other applications to the selection to use in multi windows?

No, for now, the apps supported are only the ones you see

I used a rom on my Transformer TF101 that had this kinda ported but I don't see it anywhere else.
Basically it is an app that just pops up with a "folder" of assigned icons. Similar to like an ALT-TAB app but displays custom apps vs recent apps.
The Samsung devices have this in the middle of the bottom tablet-mode status mode. I've been looking for even a simple app that I would map to a softkey... but I just can find anything.
Is there anything that can popular a window of apps that can be mapped to a button or can someone with some serious skills create an app that works similar to the Samsung Quick App panel? It was super handy to go between apps without going back to the launcher.
I know you could basically launch everything once and use the built in taskmanager to flip back and forth, but it doesn't solve launching new apps quickly.

Guys my touchscreen is not working properly and xperia j is also slowing down . i went to serivce centre but the problem, still there ! Any body help

First of all:
Open your dialer app and type:
Code:
*#*#7378423#*#*
It will bring you to the service menu. Once you're in there, go to Service Tests, then click Touch Screen.
Try to draw vertical and horizontal stripes on the screen, make a screenshot (press volume down + power button simeltaniously) and upload the picture to this topic.
I believe it's an issue with more Xperia (2012) phones running ICS.
I know there is a screen calibration patch available (FOR TIPO), I'm just not sure if it also works on Xperia J.
You can try it, I dont give any guarantees it works, nor am I responsible for any damage.

Another question : i just updated the firmware of my xperia J to 11.0.A.3.28 and everything is smooth and fast as usual...
except:
when i run an app or do something that's not in thr homescreen, when i go back to it, all the icons and widgets reload their images, resulting in 1-2 seconds of slowness...has anyone of you experienced such a thing?

Try to see what apps eats most of your memory and delete them.

Is it like, lagging, skipping small parts of the screen when you're swiping it?
something like ____ __ _____
as example?
Or is it just that it reacts slow, or sometimes not at all.
Ok, that happens after the use of a specific application or game?
Normally, the home screen is redrawn when the application(s) you're running need almost all RAM memory.
When you don't need an application, try "long press" in the home button.
You will see a list with the open applications in the phone.
Swipe right or left to close an application.
I experienced this with my old X8. With Xperia J didn't happened yet.

I do not agree to what you say here, as it is a list of RECENT apps and not of the open ones. Some apps that still run aren't listed and some of the listed apps don't run anymore.
Swiping the RECENT apps does NOT close the apps.

Swiping an app away will effectively "kill" most apps. You can test this out using ADB if you have the SDK installed. Swipe everything out of your recents list, then launch the browser. Use ADB to run 'ps' on the device and verify that the com.google.android.browser process is running. Go to the home screen, it's still running. Launch some other apps, and the com.google.android.browser process is still there. Swipe it out of the recents list, however, and the process is gone.
You can create a test app to further verify, and log the onDestroy() call in your Activity. It's not called when you back or home out of the app, or when you launch other apps. It does get called when you swipe the app out of the recents list though.
I do agree that the recent apps list isn't really "multitasking". The apps in the list aren't necessarily even running, the processes could have been killed by the memory manager long before you try to re-open it. However, you can't argue that the only purpose is to jump quickly to other apps when the swiping makes the actual process go away.

Hi everyone ,
This is my first time here so hopefully I can get some help.
Every time I turn on my tab I get app pop ups on my home screen and also automatically apps are saving to my pages, I've gone through my settings and checked to see if I have anything turned on that shouldn't be, if someone could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated as it's really starting to annoy me.
Cheers Headman

It's a rogue app the causes that. It contains adware and spyware by changing your homepage (monitor what you search), constantly adds search icon on homescreen and comes up with annoying ads in both the notification bar and by pop ups.
Run this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector&hl=en
And remove those apps.

Agreed, my fiance had one in her phone and it would push notifications, pop-ups, all sorts of invasive stuff. I wanna say she used an app "installer" ( like the ones found in 4shared), which was what installed the "rouge" app.

HaloShortcuts
Coincidently, there's another HaloShortcuts by @MainstreamStereotype that is similar to this one. :silly:
His has an additional feature and that is the ability to choose Activities within an App.
Please check his out also :good:
What?
A shortcut selector to add a shortcut in floating mode on homescreen or for apps that uses shortcut selector.
It adds a shortcut with the intent flag 0x00002000.
For?
For ROMs that make use of the intent flag 0x00002000.
Examples include Paranoid Android ROMs with Halo.
(This might work with OmniROM's MultiWindow but I need someone to confirm before I write it down. )
Downloads?
In Attachments. (Dates are in DDMMYY)
Backup Downloads from Google Drive
Open-source!
This module is open-source! Sources are found on my GitHub.
If you would like to help in the development, you may leave bug reports and development tips in this thread or (better still) fork and send pull requests
Screenshots?
works perfectly on my Galaxy S4-I9505, thanks

This app only makes shortcuts with the halo flag. It doesn't affect the launcher. It has probably been redrawing ALL the time but you only notice it now since it is floating and not fullscreen.
I never get redraws this app actually crashes my launcher so it has to restart and I only get this issue with this app

Is it the actual running of the app itself, or the launch of a halo shortcut created by this app... that is causing the redraw? What Launcher do you have and rom?
It happens when I launch an app from the shortcut I create with this app I use the sense 5 launcher on a HTC one x thanks for replying it's viper x Rom 4.0.6

First thing I would try is downloading an alternative free launcher eg Go Launcher. Install, and do a quick test to see if a new Halo shortcut causes the same issue. Should take 5 minutes. Then if you still have the issue, then it's probably rom related. BTW, do you have any other rom features enabled that might be interfering? (eg Multi Window or something like that)
No nothing that would interfere although the room is heavily modded but floatifications works fine and open halo from notification also works I do get an occasional fc though had that problem since version 2.0 of xhalo appsi also works ok I don't really want a different launcher because of BlinkFeed but for trying purposes Ill try thanks for replying

Is it possible to update this app to create shortcuts that point to "Shortcuts" in Android as well instead of just app shortcuts?
You know, the screen when u long press on the launcher and you get this page to create direct shortcuts to contacts, bookmarks, gmail labels etc.
Because it would be handy to create shortcuts that link to specific functions inside apps instead of having to launch the apps in windows mode and then navigating to the required functions i.e. shortcut to a specific whatsapp contact, specific settings screen.
Do consider it, or if anyone has a solution do let me know, thanks!
I hope the thanks received from zst123 means this request has been added to some to do list out there?
edit : oh man, another thanks. Don't tease me...SAY SOMETHING! Or should I keep posting to accumulate thanks?
how to check intent flag?
works great in s3 omega rom when using it as a launcher icon, or through glovebox.. BUT if you want to use LMT launcher that doesnt support system shortcuts but support tasker... launching tasker task--> autoshortcut plugin --> haloshortcut... doesnt work.. the app opens in fullscreen
Hey guys,
I posted this twice on Disqus on the XDA News Commenting but somehow it didn't show (internet failure?) and I'm typing this again.
I'm really lazy to retype, so in short, I created this in Sept in my XHFW thread in this post's attachments
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45669212&postcount=476
A few weeks ago, I improved it and posted it in this thread. However, a recently I saw this post on Google+
https://plus.google.com/117734680838440546478/posts/cbXCgnjTAwj
where Matthias Bidlingmeyer had created a similar app with similar name. That is is better than mine in the sense that it has the ability to choose individual activity for the chosen app. It coincidently was posted a few days before my thread was opened. I didnt't know it existed and of course didn't copy it. I hope this would clear things up before the "you copied me" fight starts. If I had known it existed, wouldn't you think I would also implement individual activity support? The other dev does deserve credit. This is purely just a coincidence (sadly)...
Great app

It's not better if it doesn't do shortcuts. Seriously, how many here understand what each activity in each app does?

It has to do with the way the plugin handles the created shortcut. So I can't really help you in this

There is only one flag that is added and that is the halo flag. What flag are you trying to check?

See the attachments for a screenshot of his app. For example you could create a shortcut to go directly to the WifiSettings instead of the main Settings page when you have to do one extra step. An Activity is the proper Android term for a "page" (not really a page but I can't think of a better word)
Hi, had my watch a while now it's great, but as usual I'm trying to increase the battery life and one of my pet peeves is having to go to the menu, scroll to the right, then click recent apps and close apps.
Is there a widget available that I can just click and it closes all open items as I cannot seem to find anything on the app store?
Thanks in advance
Mark
No widget that I am aware of.
I have the double press home button set to recent apps. That is still pretty quick and you can close all apps from there
