This looks good. More feedback once tested for a longer time. Hows the battery usage
EDIT:
The app responds well. No additional battery drain. Only since times the hotspot does not respond. Quick restart of the app helps, I am sure next versions will be stable too. Good job Dev.
@leducbao any possibility of GB support?

Same on nexus 4..created a custom panel for those apps which don't fit in any of the collections
---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------
Can you please increase the number of recents shown in recents panel. The default Android recents has so many apps and whereas quickr shows only a handful.
Sort of the app which I might have tried to do as a plunge into Android dev-ship
Right now I have Homeflip (BTW, also can be a bit slow but is lean and mean, I mean tiny. LIke that!!) set as only showing recent apps. Homeflip, as well as most all the launchers out there, have forgotten all about shortcuts. Homeflip is a launcher overlay, becomes the default launcher with a chosen fallback. Makes trying out launchers very easy and convenient.
I have the Xposed swipe-back app to close running apps. Very useful.
I tried an app, do not remember which one, to swipe through recent app screens (instead of snapshots or icons). Useful but not well implimented, more problems than it was worth.
I see Quickr as a stand-in for Ubuntu-like functionality because it has four possible edges. However, really need partial edges so as not to interfere with normal phone function! Then possible up to 8-12 alternatives though I would not use them all.
One edge for recent apps. I prefer a column of icons or small snapshots (take a lot more RAM).
One edge for contacts, showing pictures, info, and/or/another edge for media? Replacing Homeflip and others.
Is this app an launcher-overlay or "separate" app like most others of this type?
Functionality in which I am interested, will work?

This is not only a launcher-overlay app, but also any-app overlay. You can swipe in from edge when you are actively in any app.
This is quite brilliant, my new favorite app for multitasking. The only bugs that I've noticed are:
1) sometimes apps and shortcuts disappear from my custom panels. I've had my Hibernate Now (greenify) shortcut disappear from one panel, and also the Snapchat app disappeared from another panel. I'm not sure what would cause something like this, and it isn't something I can reproduce for a log. Temporary solution is just add the missing app/shortcut back to the panel it disappeared from. Doesn't happen very often either, just every once in a while I'll notice there are less apps and realize one is missing.
2) For some reason, Google+ doesn't show up in my list of applications. I've checked the bottom of the app list, as there are 5 or so miscellaneous apps that show up there out of alphabetic order, and it's not there either. I would really like to add Google+ to my social panel, it's one of the apps I use most.
3) Not really a bug, and no offense intended, but those folders are pretty ugly. Something like Nova's folders with just a dark circle or square would look much better.
Other than those couple of things, Quickr has been super convenient. The couple of hiccups I've had are not deal-breakers, I will continue using it. Awesome job, can't wait for more updates!!

My current experience with Sidebar as of now.
There are not as many little bugs, most are limitations in Android itself, but nothing that affect myself.
Those limitations being, the notification glitch, without having the notification android kills it.
Apps take longer to launch when current app is your default launcher.
The look is amazing, originally I was looking for a unity-esque side launcher, but this is so much more.
First, it looks cleaner than unity, by coping the aesthetic of windows 7.
Also it allows for task management, which I find conflicts with the Android's built in task manager and appears to duplicate app instances, but overall looks and functions pretty well.
You simply slide the icon off the bar to kill the app, or touch the icon to naturally open it.
A plus with the pro version, is that you can pin as many apps as you'd like. Plus there's the ability to pin widgets such as home, pause song, wifi and many more toggles. Currently shortcut to activities have been removed, but with the new, better caching system, I have a feeling they'll be added back
The scrolling of the sidebar could be more fluid; as in keep up with my finger better, but overall performance was fine and the app itself has a very small resource footprint.
This app has come a long way, and I can't wait for themes and easy icon rearrangement.
Good luck Mohammad.

jeffreygtab said:
I'm not sure why this isn't getting more attention, but this is the best side launcher app yet! You need to add the ability to manually change the icons (unless that's already there in the pro version...) and incorporate a multitasking function, where it showing running apps with favorited apps, however the running apps are highlighted to show they're running, much like Unity for linux. Great app nonetheless!
EDIT: I found a significant bug on the free version. When you add the max allotted apps, then delete remove an app, it won't allow you to add anymore back, even if you remove all of them, it just says you need to upgrade.

They have a completely different UI and feature set. That's like asking what's the difference between Nova Launcher and iOS. Sure they both have the same task but they're surely different. Try them both (they're free) and you'll feel the difference.
The best one out there.. Period.
I've tried various quick-launch apps over the past few weeks. Stumbled onto this just today. This is by the the best one available.
Very minimal layout, & customizable. Will be buying the paid version for sure. Kudos. :good:
One suggestion - can we get customizable animation time. Currently it's a bit too slow and without the animation its just too dull

Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar
Would be great if apps could have this layout
Just purchased the Pro version, and so far very nice! If you're taking suggestions however, i'd like a way to disable the notification, as well as a way to move the icons around into whatever order you like (rather than having to delete and reinstall to your liking). It would also be nice to be able to position the icons where we want as well, say from the bottom up, rather than the top down. But great job overall!

Here is an old version of the app. Is this better than Sidebar as it is on the Market?
Major differences:
- Uses a tab
- Solid color
- Less Settings
- Sidebar tears at screen edge when docking by draggin the tab
- Some lag on the dragging on lower end phones
Try it out (SUPER OLD VERSION): https://www.dropbox.com/s/pltw4vui9e2gbpl/Sidebar.apk and tell me if it is better or worse than the released version.

No it's definitely worse. The solid color is terrible in my opinion. It isn't as smooth, and also the constant tab is dreadful. Believe me you're heading in the right direction, don't go backwards.

Thank you. Found it.
Another question is will there be an option to set the number of home screens? I only even use 1-2, so it's unnecessary for all the blank screens.
Also, it's running pretty nicely so far. Keep up the good work.

You can change it.
press on the home button and will bring a preview of the screens.
A long press on the screen that you want to delete and drag it to the trash. (the same as deleting an item from the home screen).
You can also reorder the screens ,add/remove home screens and change the default home screen.

Did you have the same issue with other launchers (i.e Trebuchet launcher) ?
When you have the lags? on which operations?
Would like to try it, but it GooglePlay says "not compatible with your device"
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 with CM10.1 running.
Why is it not compatible?
wow... i hope this works with neo L
Nice work/launcher,thanks for it.Its a bit like the nova...:victory:

INTRODUCING SLIDE LAUNCHER
0% RAM AND BATTERY USAGE!
APP SIZE: LESS THEN 2mb!
This is not a traditional launcher (like Nova, Apex, Adw, ecc...) so you don't have to replace the one that you're currently using
Slide Launcher is a fully customizable and extremely lightweight quick launcher that let you to start your favourite apps, direct messages, calls (and everything that can be started) FROM ANY SCREEN!
It uses the Google Now gesture (sliding up the home button) so will always be there, (even in the lockscreen!) and doesn't require any battery-eater service and overlay, unlike others apps of this kind.
This is why Slide Launcher will never run in background and will never slow down your phone or drain your battery.
MAIN FEATURES:
Supports apps, direct messages, calls, shortcuts, activities and custom intents
Supports themes for the most common launchers (nova, apex, go, ecc...)
Different icons arrangements (circle, arc, grid, bar, ecc...)
Launch apps in popup mode (floating window) (only for ParanoidAndroid ROM)
Different frames can be applied on icons to make them more stylish
Add, reorder and delete icons by drag & drop gesture
Fully customizable (icons size, space between icons, haptic feedback, background color/image, ecc...)
OTHER FEATURES:
Advanced cache engine for an amazing fast start time
Fresh user interface accordance with Android style
Can be launched with search or camera buttons for devices that don't have the navigation bar
Slide Launcher has just been released so expect improvements and new features in the future!
What are you waiting for? Download Slide Launcher right now... it's absolutely free and you'll love it! ♥
Don't have navigation bar, search button or camera button? We are working on a plugin to start Slide Launcher with a swipe gesture from the bottom of the screen...stay tuned!
Do you have a Samsung device with Android 4.1 or lower? Download this little plugin to avoid some problems: http://tiny.cc/slidelaunchertouchwiz

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD SLIDE LAUNCHER FROM GOOGLE PLAY!
...or click here to get the apk
Designed for Nexus devices (due to navbar) and ParanoidAndroid ROM (due to floating window) but it works on all device with Android 4.0 or newer

*edit : one thing that i think is a big addition... ability to swipe from the corner.. rather than swiping from menu keys
Swiping from the menu is not very convenient for me on Touchwiz but I understand you did this way so it won't use ram. Since I use Nova, I custom set gesture to launch from home and it works really well.
One suggestion from me pls put check box when we add application so I won't have to keep adding one app and then go back in and add another app over and over. Check box multiple apps to add will solve this problem I think. Just my 0.02c

Works well on my Note II. Though I hope in a future update an option to hide the status bar. I hid my status bar through Apex Launcher. I just want to keep the aesthetic (it looks nicer that way) and I also use gestures to access it,... But thanks for this!
nice....:laugh::good:
thanks for your feedback and suggestions!
This is so cool! I'm very happy that this isn't activated by sliding from any screen edges as that input is way too inconsistent or gets in the way of other swiping commands.

like the idea but its crashing before it sets up every time, im in the HTC m8.
Great job man, I really love the concept. But could you give us an option to change the icon size of the app drawer.

Problem Here,
Its Force Closing On 4.4.2 Kitkat.
Not Even Starting.
Is This App Compatible With Kitkat?
Thanks Anyways
the feel very happy very nice and clear
Not working on my LG G2
Setup works fine but after that keeps on crashing, Love the concept but can't try this due to some error, Dev please fix it in your free time :highfive:
So I tested it for 3 minutes. This is what I would say.
The home screen, is this a home screen I mean there should be option to directly switch to app drawer.
Icon size of apps are large I would consider using small size.
Limit on no. of apps, this shouldn't be added as premium feature.
No widgets.
Shouldn't weather location be auto set & even if we type in search box there should be suggestions coming up.
In this initial test didn't find usage of the smart switch off Internet on/off.
This isn't a launcher at all, in launcher there is beautiful app drawer. This thing needs much improvement, I guess it would become my primary browser when v3.0 will come.
Seems to look good. Clean, minimalist, simple, but won't run on my Xperia Z 6603, stock, rooted 4.3.

Hey Bishal, yes it should be compatible with Kitkat - I tested it on a Nexus 4 with 4.4.2. Would you be able to get me a logcat or could you please report the crash? Thanks!

HI Me_Ashish,
Thanks for trying it out! In regards to your concerns, the target audience for this launcher are not power users - it's a simplified launcher for those who want a simpler phone. However, I can add some of the features you requested into the next version:
1) Automatic location detection
2) Ability to directly switch to app drawer.
Also, or the internet to automatically switch off, you have to enable NetManage. Additionally, the internet will switched off 5 minutes after your screen is turned off.
Thanks again for the feedback!
On the Xperia 6603, setup starts with name and loops (fc-restart at name again), endlessly. BTW, I don't have a owner profile on my contacts app.... Will get logcat next time I run it, its 1am & tomorrow is Monday, need 2 sleep...

Torch button isn't working for me.
When I touched the 3 buttons next to the apps in the Start Menu, everything went crazy. Most of the items on the start page disappeared, and no apps, when selected, did anything. I had to delete the launcher in a hurry...

The torch button bug fixed in 0.5 (will be updated in a few hours) . The 3 buttons in smart menu are the settings of each view. Top one is for widget (if you have one an x button will popup in top right screen and if you have no widget, widget selector will open). The middle one will open a new screen of all your installed apps. Those which are grey are already in your Smart Menu clicking them again will remove the app. And the bottom settings button is for shortcuts and works just like the widget one. If your device's dpi is mdpi then try installing the v 0.5. Join our comunity if you want to get the latest updates. I hope I solved your bugs. Thank you for your support and feedback.
Best launcher I have ever used. My smartphone is smooth again!
I'll try to feedback as much as I can.
