My View on it's capabilities:
I wanted to help spread the word on an app that I heavily rely on for my minimal launcher setup. I wanted a completely blank canvas that still let's me quickly get to what I need, all while remaining invisible. This app easily accomplishes this for me, and so much more.
I use its built in toggles, app launching, widget launching (to have a blank home screen) and so much more.
If you are in need of a great gesture launcher, I would highly recommend giving this one a whirl. I tried many launchers for months before accidentally stumbling across this one.
I reached out to the developer a few times and was promptly greeted, and even had feature requests fulfilled within hours.
I hope others can enjoy it as much as I do.
Some screens of my setup:

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.

Hi guys, if you have installed it, please update it to the latest version.
I have fixed some issues for weather info display (floating button).
Multidialer is a complete dialer with various features thinked for improve your calls.
There are a lot of great features, for example:
- Suggestions and t9 algorithm;
- Themes;
- Notification widgets;
- Home screen dialer widget (only plus) and 3 different starred in android widget;
- Left slider with contact list (and pictures);
- Right slider drawer with call logs;
- Top slider with settings (inspired by material design);
- Long click on a contact for a quick preview, then click on the pictures for the contact sheet;
- Shortcuts on the numbers;
- Send sms;
- Adaptive UI, that change if you are in multiwindow mode or normal mode (read after about this samsung's feature);
- Automathic call when you put the phone near your ear.
- 4 gestures over the numeric keypad, with different effects if the text field is empty or full;
- Air gestures, control your phone without touching the screen (worked on some samsung devices);
- Others (check the FAQ menu for the complete list of features and instructions).
The interface is designed for have these functions at your fingertips, with a minimal modern graphic style! Also, the style is highly customizable thanks to a lot of themes and the various options.
*****
This app is also designed for samsung devices that support samsung's multiwindow feature (as galaxy s4, s3, note, note 2, note 3...). In some samsung devices you cannot use the dialer in multiwindow mode. With this app you can use the dialer and another app (like browser, playstore, etc...) at the same time! Thanks to the adaptive ui feature, when you are in multiwndow mode the interface change for improve comfort!
Attention: when you make a call you must use the standard interface. Is impossible to replace it (without root). Is a the way used by system for fired calls. You can see it when push the phone icon in every dialer app. Usually this interface doesn't support multiwindow, so this dialer work in multiwindow, but when you starting a call, you'll see the interface in fullscreen. Unfortunatly I cannot do anything for this, is not an issue.
What is samsung multiwindow? It is a great feature for multitasking. Through this, you can split screen in two parts, in order to use 2 apps at the same time! for enable it (depends if your device has this feature) you must check the
toggle "multiwindow", then push and hold back button. You'll see a sidebar that contains all the app that support multiwindow mode. Drag and drop 2 apps from this to the screen and enjoy multitasking!
