APP IS BANNED FROM GOOGLE PLAY WILL RETURN SOON though!
Ultimate Dynamic NavBar - app that alows you to get rid of that horrible space-eating black navbar and replace it with fancy showing-on-swipe customizable navbar-like panel.
--------------------------------------------------------
I'd Be Glad Glad If you support me by bying this in Google Play ^_^
Also you can download lite version there
As always, UDN is free for XDA and 4PDA communities(but if you want to donate me - buy PRO, it's the same, as CE, but updates through Google Play)
--------------------------------------------------------
Features:
- panel that shows up with fancy animation by swipe from bottom edge of the screen or by touching a trigger button (Customizable).
- XPOSED(safe) or build.prop mod(dangerous) to hide softkeys on your device. All devices with android 4.0+ are supported!
- you can add up to 9 buttons to the panel (and assign shortClick and LongClick acitons to every button)
- About 20 different action for buttons: from basic system navigation to "kill app" and "tie custom app"
- Everything is themable: buttons, panel, glow-effects and more!
- Swipe mode to navigate the panel like paranoid's pie.
- small ram consumption (~< 8 MB of RAM)
- Lots of other customizations and modes.
Waiting for your bugreports and feature requests on UDN's Issue tracker
Since this thread moved to devDB, I'm no more able to edit attachments(hope it's temporal bug, though). So here's latest download link:

Official mimi-FAQ (TOO OUTDATED):
Q: How to use "Ultimate Dynamic NavBar"?
A: Switch the switch to "on", then you can trigger UDN's panel by swiping up near the trigger(grey triangle) at bottom-left screen corner of your phone(or tablet).
Q: Only button that works is "Recents" Why?
A: Looks that you don't have Root permissions on your device. Google for more info...
Q: Activated "hide real navbar" option, but nothing happened! What I did wrong?
A: That means that app can't obtain root permissions, or your device don't have busybox installed.
Q: App can't restore original navbar.
A: Rare bug You can manually restore navbar by removing all "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" lines from /system/build.prop . Mail me if you need help.
Q: UDN overlaps information on the screen!!!1 How Do I fix it?
A: That's correct behavior! It is impossible to act another way! And No, I cant overlay nothing in the zone of real navbar Don't ask!!
Q: Android 4.3, can't hide notification. Is it possible to fix?
A: No, since google fixed bug I used to hide notification. There's no way to hide notification anymore
Q: OK, I found bug! What should I do???
A: post it to issues list I'll be happy to fix it!

Sorry, will fix it now. Use dropbox link for now: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5oalbgb7plr830z/com.mrbimc.udn.apk
It wont let me select to "hide real nav bar''. So all it really does for me is add a second, auto hiding nav bar on top of my existing nav bar.

Looks that I need to add FAQ to the thread
0. you can bting my navbar back by swiping UP from the bottom of the screen.
1.My app can't hide real navbar yet But you could use this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558) or check your rom settings(CM, AOKP and Paranoid are have fullscreen toggle).
Good job man!

Ok, will add toggle shortcut in the next update. (actually, it is going to be "show" shortcut, because hidding is hardcoded for now. and i'm not going to change it's behavior in nearest future )
Will watch this apps progress. Thanks dev.keep up.

Very well sir
Simple and easy as that. I like it.
I have one suggestion. If I set, in your app, "Activated state time" in 2000ms i would very like that navigation stay on for this 2 seconds but after last tap. Reason is using BACK button for several time. If I leaving Gallery app a don't like pres home button, I usualy press back button for 3-4 times. With your setting I have to swipe every time when i want to press button.
"Just this" for and from me
Good luck !

I second this. Thanks to MrBIMC for your great work but instead of automaticly dispearing after some seconds, can you put a button (directly in the nav bar) for hiding the nav bar, the gesture seems very OK in most apps.
Thank you

Can anyone mockup how shoud this button look? because right now i can only add it as normal button, but it is not aestetic.
Or i could edit XMLs a bit and add support for small edge buttons (like legacy menu button of shame), so it will be possible to set hide trigger there.
What do you think?
Updated the app, check the head post for details and apk!
Had a few spare hours, so implemented some features you requested
Waiting for reviews, comments, new featurerequests and bugreports!

Thank you for the new version. I have only tested it for a short while yet, but I can see a lot of improvements. Some feedback:
You are right, the button looks quite out of place. And I think the best position should be in the middle. I will try to make some better graphics and send then to you.
The small graphics seem to work well so far, and on a phone with small screen, I think this is ideal for the menu button.
I am glad you are not killing SystemUI to get rid of the navigation bar, as the best option is to edit build.prop
Not too sure the option to stay on screen is behaving as it should. First, if no button is pressed, the bar should disappear after the normal timeout. Then, only if the back button is pressed, it should stay on screen. In that case, it should reset the timer on every press, no just the first one.
I hope that helps.
Awesome app, no need to edit any system files or push anything to /system, but still quite buggy, if the nav bar does not hide, it blocks the thing behind, any way to shift everything up, or not hide the thing below? See screenshot attached.

Even if it was possible, it would not work at all as a user interface. Three possible options:
* shift everything up: the top of the screen would disappear instead, and the sudden shift in position would be very annoying.
* squash the screen to fit in smaller space: that would look awful, and would also be annoying.
* leave everything as is, and overlay the bar on the bottom part of the screen. This is the current situation. The fact the the screen does not change, makes it much smoother for the user. To counteract the fact the bottom of the screen is then hidden, maybe transparency would help?

Yes sir, it should be best if you put one edge button for hiding. About the design I think you should focus on the idea first, after things get better and the app runs well then you can change your focus to the overall design. Yep the current design is not very aesthetic yet but it can wait .
The new version looks very promising but when I choose more than 3 big buttons then the toggle hide button dissappear
Anyway, thank you very much, your idea about this bar is very good and much better then lmt launcher or gmd gesture which are difficult to use for normal users.

I present here a new app. WidgetShade Free!
★With WidgetShade you can have your widgets always on hand. Just use the "+" button , or long press any empty space to add a widget. WidgetShade can be called at any moment and will show as an overlay over your active application.
To call WidgetShade you have three options.
-Tap the app icon.
-Tap the notification in the notification bar (can be disabled)
-Use the trigger area (can be disabled)
The trigger area is a white and blue zone that by default appears at the bottom right of your screen, but it can be configured. Tap it or slide your finger over it to activate WidgetShade. In the application settings, you can change the position and size of the trigger area, its visibility, or completely disable it.
IMPORTANT
To avoid android from closing WidgetShade when it runs out of memory, you have two options.
-Enable "Show notification" in the options ; or
-Go to Android Settings, then to Accessibility and enable WidgetShade
Enabling the accessibility service will prevent WidgetShade from being closed. It will not access any personal information, even if the standard android warning says that it may do that.
Widgets shown in the screenshots: Digical, Elixir2, Eye in the sky, retroClock, Gmail, and Top Contacts. These are independent applications, downloadable from the Play Store and I am not related to them in any way.
I will publish this on the Play Store this week, but I wanted to offer it here first. The PRO version will have extra features (extra pages, button bar can be hidden and configurable background opacity).
Please send feedback!
Get it on the Play Store!

Another practical and useful app from you! I don't have a widget I always need to be able to activate, but I think the idea is really good. It's easy to configure and set up to work properly. So a good job from you, even though I don't personally have a need for an app like this.
Multi-tasking via widgets = awesome.
I added a update that should fix tablet layout. It changes nothing on phones, so you don't really need to update if you are using a phone.
Thank you for testing it!
Cooooolll...!

Tablet FC should be fixed now. Sorry for all the updates, I don't have the devices to test the program. I depend on user feedback.
I received report of text showing as squares in widgets. How many of you have this problem? Which device do you have? Which android version?
Thank you all!
New version 1.3b
Hi!
I completely rebased the program, so now the grid looks nicer (The number of rows and columns). It is now a 5x5 grid, because for some phones you were getting weird grid values like 4x2 or 4x3.
I hope you like it
Great app. Reminds me of that Mac OSX feature that does this same thing. Will definitely buy (once I get money). Cool.

Really like where this app is heading. Reminds me alot of Intelliscreenx when I was using the iphone. waiting for a revision or 2 before getting the pro app to support. A suggestion maybe? How about an option for setting a trigger for when the notification shade is down, swiping left and right would activate the widget shade?

It is a good idea, but unfortunately I can't do that. The notification shade always stays on top of everything. This means that I can't capture events when it is down. However, you can enable the notification, which activates WidgetShade when tapped.
If you have more suggestions, let me know. I really appreciate feedback, and I try to implement all the suggestions I receive.
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Bought the pro to support. Is it possible to implement a slide to trigger option? the tap to trigger can sometimes be abit disruptive (if the trigger area is too big) or hard to use if we make the trigger area smaller.

I'll try to do this. This was the original intention, but I assumed that tap was okay.
You are right, sometimes I also tap the trigger area by mistake.
Thanks for your support. I hope you enjoy the added features of the pro version.
@Dapaua:
Good app. I just gave it a try, and decided to log in only to reply to you!
Here are the list of my drawbacks (mainly in UI).
1- The trigger button you need to do something with it!
I would be happy if it's possible to trigger it with long pressing (I think this is easy to implement).
2- The virtual buttons are annoying (I already got capacitive buttons to start with), and it really takes some space.
Back button on capacitive could replicate the same functionality of the virtual one, also long pressing works fine (no need for "+"). The only thing is remaining a way to enter the settings menu).
Basically, I am trying to say give us an option to remove the floating buttons on the screen.
3- A slider to better control the high/length of trigger button & transparency.
Basically, focus more on the UI aspect and you will be good on selling this app.
Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions.
1.What exactly is wrong with the trigger button? I am now implementing an option to only respond to swipes, and not to taps.This avoids the accidental triggering. It should be ready in a few hours (It's done, needs testing). If the problem is that it is ugly, it can be made transparent. If it is something else, tell me. I like getting feedback.
2.I agree that removing the button bar is a good idea, but I think this would be a PRO version thing. I already have an idea of how to change settings without the button bar.
3. This is a good idea, but first I want to concentrate in the core functionality. But I will implement it eventually.
I am just starting with this, I hope that in the end it will be a good program.
New version.

Please remind, that Bubble Launcher XDA 2.5+ is a time limited Version (with all functionality of Full Version!) since today!
-The testing time period is 10 days after installation.
If you consider to use the prior version 2.3.1 (WITHOUT TIME LIMIT), I' let let stay a download link in OP for that all the time...
(but in that case you don't get new features from now on...)
Bubble Launcher is an 'always on top' side launcher for Android OS. It can be used on top of every opened app.
The starter halo hotspot is made as floating system window, so it can be on top of everything on screen!
It was made for JB 4.2.2 / 4.3 , but should work on OS versions since 2.3+.
The Launcher comes with a
-standard listview
and
- circle halo knob
for selecting an starting an app.
How to use:
Hotspot -> swipe left -> opens Circle Launcher;
Hotspot -> swipe up -> opens Favorites Panel;
(You have to mark some apps as Favorite in 'Blacklist & Favorites Editor' -> start 'Settings Panel' via Menu Button -> mark some apps as Fav. in most right column checkbox!)
Hotspot -> swipe down -> opens App-List-Launcher;
Short Tap on App in List -> HALO)))-start of app;

Menu Button Opens 'Settings Panel'
Bubble Launcher supports Halo))) start of apps in MULTI_WINDOW on Paranoid Android 3.56 and above!
And of course you can start apps also in Fullscreen Mode.
On non Paranoid OS the apps will always be started in Fullscreen Mode.
In the full version of Bubble Launcher you can mark any app as blacklisted or favorite.
Blacklisted apps will never be shown in the launcher lists.
Favorite apps are listet on top of standard listview and are the only listed apps in circle launcher mode.

the XDA-app-version is full working with the following
limitations:

HowTo use builtin 'Floating Notifications'
If your device runs Android 4.3 (and only than!), you can use the builtin 'Floating Notifications'. This may be useful, if you want to use your device in full screen mode.
To activate 'Floating Notifications' you have to download and install NLSHelper.apk (see attachments below...).
This APK will be installed as a Bubble Launcher module hidden from Appdrawer/Home Launcher.
After installing this module you have to activate the Notification Access Policy in SETTINGS/SECURITY/NOTIFICATION ACCESS by ticking the checkmark for NLSHelper!
(Bubble Launcher tries to guide you automatically to related Settings Panel after Installing NLSHELPER. If it doesn't happen, please go manually to SETTINGS/SECURITY/NOTIFICATION ACCESS for activating the policy.
If you have completed these steps, Bubble Launcher will intercept incoming notifications from gmail, sms/mms, google+, google search, whatsapp and similar apps.
(Only push notifications, no ongoing notification, will be intercepted!)
When a push notification is received an notify icon will be displayed in Bubble Launcher's Hotspot Bubble and a notifying Label will be displayed near the bubble.
If You Click on the notify icon in bubble, the notify label will be updated and displayed again.
Click onto the label for opening the notifying app.
Swipe from notify icon to down, for updating the push notification queue.
Swipe from notify icon to up, for clearing the push notifications queue.
HowTo use 'Custom Themes'
For trying out custom themes, download customThemeSample.zip (see attached files below).
Unzip this file to your root folder of your devices sdcard. After unzipping you will get two files:
1. old paper blue-16776961.blt
and
2. old paper gray-11446940.blt
(Don't touch the filenames or file name extensions of these two files! - Or the import will fail!)
if they are in the root folder of your devices sdcard, you can open Bubble Launcher's Settings Panel by its the App Icon in Home Launcher.
-Tap on 'Select Custom Theme ' in settings panel.
-Tap in the opening list on 'Import Themes'
- a Toast Message should notifying about successful import...
After that you can Tap on 'Import Themes' again and you can select one of the two freshly imported custom themes.
So you will see what you get...
That's all...
A detailed documentation for 'making your own themes' will follow later here!
HowTo 'Sort App Icons in custom Order'
Since Ver 2.0 of Bubble Launcher you can change the order of App' Icons in the Favorite Panel View.
To change sort order - open Favorite Panel by the related swipe action (i.e. swipe from Hotspot to left).
On the bottom of panel you find a Label called 'SORT ICONS'. - Tap on that - All Icons will begin wobbling...
Single Tap on an icon, that should be going to new position - the Icon's background color should change to orange color.
Now tap on an Icon at the position, where you want to get your 'marked app icon' - the order should be changed now!
If you finished sorting, tap again on 'SORT ICONS'.
The new sort order will be saved and used in Favorites Panel, Favorites List (and in Circle Launcher View, if you use full version of Bubble Launcher).
HowTo 'Use Custom Icons From Free Icon Packs'
Since Ver 2.0 of Bubble Launcher you can use free ADW-compatible icon packs to select single custom icons per app in Bubble launcher.
There are many free ADW icon packs available on Play Store or on other resources.
Support for Payed Icon Packs is not implemented atm.
The following steps should guide you for use of such icon packs.
1. Install at least one of those Free Icon Packs
2. Start Bubble Launchers Settings panel via it's Icon in Home Launcher
3. Tap on 'Edit/Sort Favorite-Icons' - a special Favorite Panel View should be opened.
4. Long Press the Icon you want to change to custom.
5. A share menu for installed Icon/Theme Packs should be opened.
6. Select the pack of your choice - If you have more than one icon pack installed - use 'only this Time' (to have the choice option later).
7. The Icon-Overview of your selected Icon Pack should be opened.
8. Tap on an Icon of your choice to select.
9. Tap the back button.
10. Your App Icon should be changed to the one of your choice.
that's all.
I'm working on the support for Payed Icon Packs for a later version of Bubble Launcher.

Thanks, looks cool.

Nice! Just bought the app. I've noted one minor problem though... If you launch the blacklist editor and then try to scroll it up to see more applications, it disappears and the settings window returns. This makes is practically impossible to blacklist apps that require the list to scroll to see.
Other than that, it makes a great addition to GloveBox and Gravity Screen. Looking forward to see where this project goes.
Thanks

Uhh... just to add to this... the problem only seems to occur if the Bubble hot spot is located on the left side of the screen. When on the right side of the screen I'm able to access the full blacklist listing.

Looks cool! What's the paid version called in the Play store? (can't find it)
Never mind, found it. But when I click on an app in the launcher they only come up full screen, not floating.
Never mind again, just saw that if not on a PA ROM apps only open in full screen mode.

Good launcher, I test it
hello i just bought the app,could get quite handy i think.
Some suggestions though.
1.Favorite only mode or maybe all other apps as an expendable tab or something like that that can be closed to make it cleaner for me people who mostly use the favorites.
2.customizable line height.I would like ti see more lines of apps at once.Sadly changing the dpi of the launcher doesn´t work as on all other apps.The circle gets cut off and the height doesn´t change at all or get too small and you see too much.
3.Could your app maybe force certain apps always to launch in floating window mode even when not lauched from bubble launcher but also from the notification bar or any other way?
4.option to disable app names.
5.improve list opening speed,maybe the in point 1 mentioned favorite only mode could help here.
6.If there would be a way to launch a favorite only mode like bubble but as a grid of icons that could be good.Faster and more convenient than the bubble i think.This way you could directly tap for launch in floating mode and long press for fullscreen mode.
ok,that´s it so far i can see.Please tell me what you think of it and what could be done maybe
also found a bug,even if made visible i can´t see the bubble on the left side on my Nexus 7,one my One x see it on both sides though.
Also icons on the Nexus 7 overlap with the app name text as can be seen in the screenshot
Launcher is very good
Im Not able to uninstall it..
I stopped the Service in the settings of the app, restarted the device twice. Still nothing.

MultiWindow Sidebar
This app is a sidebar app that mimics the Samsung MultiWindow FlashBar.
This app supports all devices, Android 4.0 and above, although it is made specially to complement XMultiWindow & XHaloFloatingWindow Xposed Modules.
If you use XMultiWindow or XHaloFloatingWindow modes, you can launch a split view app by dragging the icon out of the sidebar to the top or bottom.
Instructions
After Installing, please do this initial setup
• Choose the apps to appear in the sidebar with Select Apps
• Choose the method to launch apps using App Launch Mode
• (Optional) Enable Start on Boot
• Start the sidebar using Toggle Service
To Launch Apps, there are 2 modes.
• Tap an app to open it
• Drag an app to the respective location on the screen
You can customize what apps (PA Halo, XHaloFloatingWindow, XMultiWindow or Normally) to open when tapping or dragging
• You can remap the keys with XButtonActions or GravityBox to call the "Toggle MultiWindowSidebar" icon.
Remap the long press back button to have a Samsung-style experience
• To show and hide the sidebar, you can call also these intents using gesture apps or remapping your device's keys.
To Start:
com.zst.app.multiwindowsidebar.START
To Stop:
com.zst.app.multiwindowsidebar.STOP
To start is the sidebar is running and stop if the sidebar is not running:

There are 2 bugs.

2) Only 1 app shows at a time: This is the Kitkat homescreen visibility bug. You can fix it by using this Xposed module

Additionally to the the already mentioned bugs I found some more:
- mw splitbar overlapping original Samsung mw icon, the new mw icon and both sidebars
- splitbar doesn't show the arrow
- when I open the gallery (doesn't find another app with that behavior yet) the other window turns black
- it's not possible to open two instances of one app although the app supports that (for example s browser)
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
ohhh my god! how you did that! wonderful work...I love Samsung's Multiwindow and multiwindow sidebar!!
I am just testing it and it really looks cool..a few suggestions:
The arrow sidebar, I am, bad habit I guess, keep sliding from left to right, i guess because many of sidebar apps here XDA does implement the gesture thing...of course when I do it, the arrow keeps moving up and down..I guess this is all about usability thingy, I don't know but I guess I will get used that!
Hopefully, we will see some themes available to sidebar...:good:
I am looking at my Note 3's sidebar, when opened the side bar, it is full length screen (from bottom to top no spaces)..what I meant is sidebar is full length, so no spaces..almost like running top of launcher :fingers-crossed:
nevertheless, excellent work!!!!:good::good:
Subscribed to the thread
This look cool than the Samsung side bar
Test repot.
Tested fully so far no problem I love the way it is. I can say perfect

This is amazing. Hats off to you for making multitasking on vanilla Android not suck.
I've reported the two major bugs I encountered to GitHub, although both seem to be caused by XHaloFloatingWindow and not the sidebar itself. Let me know if you need more testing.
As for feature requests, I have but one - an option to launch apps in "normal" (full-screen) mode when tapping their icon.
Hi, really impressive, very good job! :good:
Seems to work very well on CM 11...thank a lot @zst123
thnx for this.
can u add it to bottom too like it allowed in 4.1.2 update on n7100??
and long press open close or shortcut so any gesture app can trigger that.
An Awesome App !! Thanks dev !!
BTW can i include this in my ROM ?
Can you make a drag ability
Because when i want to drag the Arrow out it seems to be slow and when i want to return it back itsn't back i must press om screen :/ .
Other than .. Thanks a lot !
P.S : is there a code to add in my ROM to make this on always when someone install my ROM ?

INTRODUCING SwiftOpen
To speed lovers: this is the app you thought didn't exist but always wanted.
SwiftOpen is a launcher (not a home launcher) that allows you to launch apps, shortcuts, contacts, calls... very, very fast.
Not only is it fast at launching whatever you want, but its interface also allows you to choose it quickly, without even looking at the phone. And this applies to as many shortcuts as you wish.

I have already incorporated many features suggested by xda members. Any suggestion is welcome, and if I have time and I find it appropriate, I'll add it!
LAUNCHING IN PREVIOUS STATE:
Since v0.8.3 SwiftOpen launches apps in their previous state instead of restarting. Some apps behave different than expected, and need to be treated in a different manner so that they are resumed instead of restarted (like Whatsapp and gReader). I have a white list of these apps, so if you find an app that is restarted tell me and I'll try to verify that they'll be resumed if treated differently, to add them to the whitelist.
SOME PHONES:
The app does not work on some Huawei phones because of the rom -apps with floating windows don't work there. At least with those that I've tested. If someone has a Huawei phone with stock rom and it works, please tell me.
It does not work with some Xiaomi Redmi either. If someone has a Xiaomi phone and finds that the app works with the stock rom, please also tell me.
It is not because of the code in the app, but the rom those phones have...
VERSIONS:
v0.4 and v0.5 have not been optimized for Lollipop.
From v0.5.1 and up it is optimized for Lollipop.
In v0.6 the signature and the package name have changed (among other stuff) which means you'll have to configure it again, as it won't install on the previous version but in parallel. I'm sorry about this. The apk is also larger, because of the icons and all the changes in the project structure; it'll improve in next versions, I hope.
0.6.2 uses more ram than it should, and there are a few other issues.
ANDROID ISSUES:
If you go to the home launcher and then launch an app, it won't be launched until about 5 seconds after going home. It's how Google wants it to be, and I'll try a workaround in the future but I'm not sure if it'll work. Nevertheless, the point of this app is not needing to go to the home launcher
BETA:
This app is currently in beta. All your feedback will be more than welcome.
And you can also suggest new features...
If the app crashes it asks you to send me an email, with the Logs. You can see what is being send, so don't worry about your privacy, it is safe!
OPEN SOURCE:
Now I have to fix some bugs, add a bit of functionality, and clean up the code. Whenever this is done (in a few weeks, I hope) the app will be open source.
MATERIAL DESIGN:
I am also working on bringing material design to the app.
Nevertheless the priority is bug-fixing and functionality.

Great job
I'll keep an eye to see how it evolves. By now it looks promising.
It would be great to include the ability to add widgets as well.
Yes, it's planned. I will add the features I have planned so that you know them. But that's after bug fixing, when the app is open source. So it'll take a while yet. At least a month.
Awesome! (some feedback)
I've been looking for something like this for so long. I simply love shortcuts. I've been trying it for a day now and here is my feedback (and some suggestions):
- Settings don't apply inmediately. You have to turn off and close the app and then restart it for them to work. (It would be awesome to see real-time changes (i don't know how difficult that is), for example, for the vertical position of the border detection).
- The alt+tab function is simply genius, i use it more times than i expected. Keep that up.
- Rows and columns could be editable for each table. For example, i got a "Contacts table" (where a folder in my main page redirects to) where i'd like 6 contacts but i want 4x3 icons in my "Main table". So that would be a cool feature too.
- The permanent icon: I don't know it's purpose. If it's only to close the app, maybe an in-app long press button or something will do better and be less invasive for the drawer?
That's all for now, i will edit, if you want, with more feedback on the next days. :good:

Thank you very much for your feedback. About settings, I know that and its in the bug list to be fixed.
Rows and columns editable for each table is also into consideration. Nevertheless I don't think it is intuitive because the cells would not be in the same position.
And if the permanent icon means the notification, it is because to ensure that the app is not killed by the system, it is required to have a permanent notification.
If you give me more feedback it will be highly appreciated
Here's some more
Here are two more things i noticed:
- The border detector sometimes gets graphically buggy and it shows a big rectangle where the thin line should be. I assume it's the detector losing its transparency. I have a Nexus 4 running cm11 M10 (maybe it's only my problem)
- And second, sometimes when you accidentally fast click the border, it opens youtube (in my case the top central shortcut) instead of the one that belongs to the very edge of my screen (which i have empty to prevent this cases in particular, though it seems not to work)
I leave a screenshot with my config also.
About the big rectangle in my phone it happens very very rarely. But I'll fix it as soon as I discover what causes it.
And about launching YouTube, I'll look into it. Nevertheless it shouldn't be necessary to leave that cell empty if you use the "distance to drag necessary..." preference. I know the name is not intuitive but it prevents the detector from opening the launcher when the drag is very short (taps).
Thanks!

Nice work
Awesome app, I'd love to see it fully perfected!
Here's my feedback:
1. When the launcher is activated when in SwiftOpen Settings, the activity stack is all messed up, (especially if you go into creating a new table and opening the launcher while configuring it). While pressing back, the same activities come repeatedly and I have to press back a lot of times to exit the settings. Not a big issue, but a rough edge to be polished. I think it can be solved by providing a separate task stack for the launcher activity alone, by specifying a
Code:
android:taskAffinity
for the launcher activity in the manifest file.
2. Android limitation of launching an activity from a service only after at least 5 sec, is unfortunate. I was riddled with the same problem, however to overcome that, I replaced the activity and made the entire thing "draw over other apps". I am not sure whether it'll work properly in this case, but worth a try anyway.
I'll come back soon for the updates.
Edit: I guess point 2 is in place, since I don't see the delay anymore.
I noticed the stack issue and forgot to write it down, so haven't tried to fix it. I'll try as soon as possible. Thanks for the feedback!

The "Distance of drag necessary..." works just perfectly fine!
I also noticed the stacking-back problem but i thought it was only me...
Keep up the awesome job!
Edit: Trying out the new v0.3 and noticed one thing, it's hard to explain so i'll try my best.
When you swipe away the apps from the "recent menu" (i dont know how to call it, it's the bottom right soft button on a Nexus4) and you leave it completely empty, using the Alt+tab function closes the app everytime.
It may be silly but that's a bug i think (although not very critical )

Thanks for telling me about the name. When I looked for it it didn't appear (or I didn't see it). Nevertheless I'll put Swift open - Launcher or something like this, in the play store.
About drag and drop, it's in the long lost of to-dos but not a priority. First I have to fix some bugs. Thanks!

Give it time, it will pick up for sure. Hey had another idea to bounce off ya. Would it be possible to add different weather icons, like chronus icon pack support or even add icons from a repo on my GitHub. That would be awesome, one of the things I miss from custom rom, was Omni team added their weather tile and it could show a monochrome icon or a colored icon. I added a bunch of different icons to the Resurrection Remix repos of mine.

Doable but a total pain in the nuts imo
Ido need to do some additional work on the weather tile state though so I will have a play around

First of all thank you for your amazing app, it's simply fantastic.
I would like therefore to report something and suggest something
1 - When I set up the quicksettings tiles (for example when I activate/deactivate the network mode tile) I loose all the tiles on my panel and have to set them up again from scratch. (is this a bug ?)
2 - I would like to ask you if you could add 3G/4G auto in the network selection ?
Thank You

Wow.. which device are you using as I'm not seeing the same behaviour on the Pixel, HTC U11 or HTC 10.. that sounds like a system bug.
3G/4G Auto is actually in the array but it's Network Mode specific, I will take a look at the latest available asap

This should now be resolved on more recent app versions, it only occured when the system hadn't populated the tiles in the database prior to them being altered in the app.

Thanks I am using it n my S8+ and love the immersive full screen mode ?? Left 5 stars feedback too.
have just pushed V2.7.6 to Beta
Accessibility service cleaned up, now listens for app install screen, permissions screen and accessibility screen.. if any of these are shown the Rounded Corners & Screen Filter overlays are switched off.
Rounded Corners & Screen Filter now cover the devices navigation bar.
All number pickers changed to SeekBar dialogues.
Lots of bugs squashed
Works fine for me. Just a question before I buy the full version, does screen record work properly?
