Question and answers
FAQ
Q. Lot of apps don't get categories after the first install or after a restore
A. After the first install, JINA has to go online to search categories for installed apps. Right now this step is not automatic and should be manually started using the "Retrieve app categories" function on the sidebar menu
Q. How can i see app details?
A. From listview you can activate the app detail function either by using the 3 dot button on the app row or by double tapping on the app row. From the gridview (thumbnails) you can double tap the app icon.

Actually, one about UI....currently i am not a big fan of that Circle obscuring my view...how about moving that switch down, left or down right where there is still space.
Also...in regular keyboard mode, You have a line where U can see the search phrase, but not in T9...U might make that the same for consistencys sake...not sure also If it is needed, since we allready see what we are typing in realtime among results...but could be an extra option?....
Anyhow...that circle with X/magnifying glass could be put in the same row with other icons...IMHO

Yes i agree, me too i feel that in T9 search mode the bottom toolbar is a bit "poor" but what kind of feedback should i give? numbers?
p.s. stay tuned, desktop folders for categories are almost finished

Added Desktop Folders for categories and better App Detail management on tablet layout.

Hmm not many of my apps get a category .. and before I'd assign them myself I'd rather use the Categories I already have from "Folder Organizer" app.
Also I do find that the letterbar is often not responsive and I keep intiating actions I don't want.
About the source filter .. no multiselection is possible and there is no simple reset .. I don't think this is really usable at the moment.
Just some feedback

I meant this…

First, thanks for the feedback, that's why this thread exists
You don't get categories neither if you try to refresh the category in the app detail? If so, can you please tell me a couple of apps that don't get a category?

You are right, i didn't notice there is a conflict with the category sliding tab on the right, i have to fix it.

Ok right again, i'll add an option to reset the source filter. Right now there is only a way to reset all filters by tapping on the action bar title.

***Disclaimer***
This launcher project is a homebrew learning curve for a future in code development.
I am more experienced in reading code than writing code so bare with the timely updates as this project is a learning
experience for me and for developers looking to develop their own launcher to understand how much time a project like this could take up.
This launcher uses the Google Services API to power google plus features and manage cache data stored from the launcher to improve performance.
It also needs permission to access your INTERNAL/EXTERNAL DATA, MAKE CALLS AND ACCESS CONTACT INFORMATION and
I can guarantee your data is safe as nothing is taken of yours.
This data is only needed to allow gestures to work correctly and the launcher to perform accurately, if you don't agree on to this code, than you can leave this room.
I promise your device is safe in my hands.
Cheers!
INTRO
Background Story: I began development on Sapphire UI a little over a year ago, link. It's purpose was to be an all exclusive launcher built based on HTC Sense's firmware (Version 6 at the time) and provide HTC device owners a new approach in managing their applications on their device, provide helpful backdoors to managing their device and information and be built on an innovative user interface based on Sense. Well things were looking great, untill HTC updated to Sense7. I had 2 options; ditch the api for Sense6 that rom devs were using and create my own based on HTCs code for Sense7 using smalli injection methods and maintain the API through firmware updates or convert the launcher to full AOSP and just keep the lock in the manifest for HTC devices. Ultimately, I lost interest all together because an AOSP app exclusively for a Sense rom just looked like crap and maintaining a homebrew sense api insided an app based on firmware that could update at any time was way to much work for me atm soooo, I got some feedback from my legacy users on the google plus group, took a long break and decided to rebuild the launcher exclusively for Android 5 and above adding exclusive features for touch.

Mission Statement
To provide my users with an accurately designed launcher experience for the minimum sdk21 powered devices. This means the launcher is built with the latest targeted sdk (24) and is has the standardized tweaks launchers should contain in the launcher market. This launcher is also Fremium meaning its free but allows users to purchase a license code to null out intrusive donation dialogs (Altho a free product to android users, I would like to get funding for my time so i can go bigger). This launcher is also powered by Google Services to provide exclusive Google Plus Features and a faster performance on AOSP devices. This project has a very friendly community on Google Plus and we would like to keep it that way! This project also has an awesome dev that does give aways, one on one time with users to troubleshoot problems and takes request; which is hard to find these days.
Feedback
I enjoy feedback however negative comments keep to yourself. I want a clean thread. If you want to trash talk on Google Plus or Twitter, go for it. I build based on community request and suggestions. What Sapphire is today is based on this awesome community at Google Plus.

I now will be publishing 2 types of updates.

Source Code:
Previously, the plan was to open source the project to community rom devs. Because of the extensive amount of work ive included in this Launcher and several features being forks of obsolete projects on github and a numerious amount of Android Libs included, i fear the source will be abused on kangs so, this project will not be open sourced howevor i will glady share any snibbet code to any developers and developers who would like to contribute or fix something is welcomed as I've had a few contribute in small ways. Community rom devs are welcomed to use Sapphire Launcher in their custom roms with permission from myself. I made this decision because of the numerous developers work being included and the license that protects it.

Attention Users
Sapphire Launcher is no longer receiving major updates. It will continue to receive support updates that will garuntees firmware compatibility, bug fixes and minor adjustments.
A sequel launcher is currently in development and will not recieve a xda developer thread. This launcher project will consume the majority of 2017 and be a premium product of GocalSD. Follow the Google Plus Group for frequent updates and information. Follow me on Twitter for updates as well.
Thankyou for using Sapphire Launcher and supporting my work! Things are about to get interesting in 2017. Sapphire Launcher has always been my bread and butter as a developer, now its time to move onto something bigger and better.

Great launcher!
Thanks! Works very well for alpha!:thumbup:

Why only on HTC devices? You can use HTC Sense on all other devices too.

This reboot project is not just for Sense devices,its for all android 5 devices. The deprecated version was sense exclusive. And that's a negative, with the given resources anyway. Prism can be installed on aosp devices yes, but devs outside of htc do not have the resources to build a sense powered app for non-sense powered devices. You can create built in resources to run a sense interface but its way to much work.

So I always have to download manually, or do you can add an Updater later?
Maybe you create a separated topic for all that?

This week, im going to focus on a few things that are of priority.
-Materialize custom shortcut activity
-Revamp Launcher preferences
-Gesture Support
-Replace Google licensed material
Getting you the updates is a priority so, Im going to be focused on readying this launcher for its re-launch on google play so i dont have to worry about making an ota method prior to google play launch. Just need to remove Google stock graphics and items licensed for their products only.
Remember, I do post alot of previews on the google plus group and ask alot of questions and post over their for feedback.

You mean link it to a hardware or softkey menu button? I could but not many devices have that unless it has a custom navbar.

Working with qsb bar this weekend. The google search bar widget is something of the google now launcher so im taking a ADT approach. Those of you who have android tv may notice the search bar looks similar to your interface. Going to be adding another FAB menu button to access other goodies that doesnt instruct our workspace view
