FAQ
Why I cannot uninstall Sidebar Launcher?
The "Lock screen" feature requires activating device administrator, you have to deactivate it in security settings before installing.
There are two ways to uninstall it:
1. Open Sidebar Launcher, go to settings page, find the "Uninstall" option. (Recommend)
2. First, go to "System settings" -> "Security settings" -> "Device administrators" deactivate "Sidebar Launcher", then uninstall Sidebar Launcher in a normal way.

Sounds great, I'll try.
Cool, Just what I want.
:good:
Great work bro.
I love it on my nexus 4, quick control my cellphone while watching vedio? It's sooo cool. Thx guys! Bring more cards plz~
New app. Cool. Let me have a try. :victory:
I have tried this app, very cool. Recommend it. But I have a few suggestions:
1. make it more colorful. I don't like this black style
2. more function cards, e.g. weather,
Just bought this, seems very nice up to now, i can see how it will be helpful.
I have one question though, once you have added the apps / shortcuts you want, is there a way to the re-organise them as you may want certain ones at the front etc..
Not sure if i have missed how to do this, maybe you can already, i dont seem to be able to find it easy though if anyone can help?
Up to now great app though, i like it.

Works perfect. Great job :good:
I have another request. I travel a lot. A card with the time of different location would be great. Do you guys have any plan to support similar feature? Please let me know if it could be implemented in near future.
Thanks a lot. You guys are rock. :victory:
well, it sounds great.
We will discuss it~
Thanks a lot:highfive:

It doesn't support 'sort' function in the apps/shortcuts card. You can delete them and add them manually again with the order you want.

Very good programe
Very good programe! I must try
very good
Great, gave me a lot of surprises.but,I hope to have more themes:victory:
still really liking this app, is there no way to take the app out of the notifications drop down though? i don't want it to be there, it only takes you to the settings anyway, which i can easily get to in the app its self.
can this be fixed as i dont see any need for it to be there?
Also sometimes my apps seem to take a bit longer than i'd expect to start from the sidebar, has anyone else found this?
Nice work, this looks and performs really well. :beer: Maybe in future could support additional fonts.
can you please make it work better with devices with low ram @dasi1241
also I noticed some battery drainage.
1. I wish this part is removed if i dont have cards filling it.
2. Add option for sensitivity, i want to increase it.
Thanks

I once had an idea for this app, so i started learning Java to make it happen.
I had a need to keep important information from my clipboard at the front of my attention (e.g text message,email etc) so I added some features and the result is NClip

OMG, this is exactly the app i was looking for.
I had the idea of such an app for months!
Thanks for it!
the cat ran across the road?!
wow! m already starting to like this app,
xD
pretty cool,i've been looking for somthing like this.
Suggestions
This is a great great app and a really good idea.. but I wanna give you some suggestions. The GUI is messy and doesn't properly use space.
On the very top is the Clipboard entry area (this should be at the bottom as its not usually used) it occupies immediately 1/2 of the screen with a large area that is totally wasted. Then, if there are contents on the clipboard they are not displayed nicely in the window (really ugly).
Then because of large unused area for the clipboard, now the Custom entry are is hidden when the keyboard is pulled-up (which by the way should pop-up immediately and it doesn't). Then if I want to add an icon, that menu selection is at the very bottom, so I have to close the keyboard to get there and, that menu doesn't have icon previews, just bullets (it needs icon previews as like the PICK ICON menu item). Finally the NOTE CUSTOM MESSAGE is at the very bottom (worse place), needs to be at the top.
All this makes a single entry an endless effort of way too many clicks to get anything done. I'm on a 7" Galaxy Tab. Look at the screenshots and get inspired
Finally, for this app to make ANY SENSE, it needs to be AS EASY TO ACCESS AS THE NOTES IT CREATES!!!!!!!!!! So, make it run as a hidden notification so it can be pulled down from the taskbar and activated (like the app Clipper - Clipboard manager for example.. you can check it out on the market if you are not sure what I mean)
Really nice app though. I want to love it.. you just need to make it right now
I've already added some features to the program, including the short cut you suggested, just my keystore is 100+ miles away on my desktop so I cant yet publish the update (its been sitting around for over a month).
I have also updated the gui, it shows only what is relevant at a given moment and keyboard no longer poses an issue on my nexus s, literally the app has everything you want (its just not published), i'm working on it

havok123, thanks for the feedback, this is great news! I didn't mean at all to be harsh or overly criticizing.. think your app is truly fantastic and therefor I just would like it you to get it perfect! I'm happy you decided to learn Java just to program this... totally worth it!
When you have an update for the or if you want me to help you beta test/trouble shoot an updated version, post the info here on the thread or PM me. Id love to help you if I can.
Keep up the great work and when its perfect make a paid version. It will be worth it and I think many people would buy it. You can definitely count me in and your work should be rewarded!
Just uploaded update finally.
Updated to 3.0
Changelog:
What's in this version:
N Clip Shortcut
Edit notifications on click
Updated GUI
Bug fixes
Great update, interface much more workable & cleaner.
One suggestion that immediately comes 2mind is, get rid of the sticky app icon that shows up on taskbar when selecting the enable shortcut option. No ned & cluttery. IfU add a note without chooding custom icon, now there are DOUBLE app icons on the taskbar being displayed one of which is NOT a note.. very confusing and unecessary.
If the enable shortcut opion is chosen, we know its there in the pulldown menu already, thats enough &keeps taskbar cleaner for actual notifications only
going to get on it over christmas break xD

Hi guys,
my name is Daniele and i'm the developer of PureContact.
I want to talk about my app.
With PureContact you can contact your friends through the use of gestures (swipe up, swipe down, swipe left, swipe right) or through double tap.
Through these simple actions you can recall the whatsapp conversation with the selected contact, send text, write an email or call.
Just long press on blank screen and add your favourite contact. Then you can choose the default photo contact or select one in your gallery.
Pick up one numbers and one email (if the contact have more than one) and just press save.
Go to the settings menu and choose the actions for the swipe.
Now you can use gestures to send text, whatsapp, email or call.
The app was released last night. I already have in mind a few features to be included in the next updates (such as the ability to write messages via facebook or twitter, add themes and other options), but in the meantime I would like to arrive at a stable version and a zero bug (I hope there aren't, but as all the early beta versions of any application I'm afraid that something will come out).
PureContact is free and is available on the Google Play Store.
If you have questions, found bugs, suggestions or requests, just ask
Thank you for your help and support.
Daniele
Installed it. I like the look of the app. Will try out and give feedback.
nice app !
hope you consider doing a widget or a dialer to the app in the near future
imagine a launcher with youre app intergrated into it that would be nice ...

I'm wondering, all my contacts are on Google's servers. Does this app support downloading / editing / updating these contacts? Furthermore this looks like a brilliant alternative to the boring stock people app.
~ djpbx
Awesome!!!
I like your idea about how to interact with the icon, very clever!
just only one issue from me;
the (circle)border of people icons seems not smooth right now, the thumb(contact image) inside the circle is not smooth also.
Another thing, I suggested that the size for the contact icon might be bigger.
It looks stunning, I must say!
I'll be closely following development

Very nice concept, good work. Any way you could possibly squeeze in another row to have a dozen contacts?
Nice UI. Downloading. Great Work
Nice App but what it needs:
- Automatically add favorite contacts to the screen
- Make Icons moveable. Choose apps for "left", "right", "top" and "bottom" and than just move the contact to one of the sides
- Add dialer
- Add Call list
download link isnt working. can you upload it again?
Doesn't load the contact list.galaxy tab 2.
Sorry for my previous post.It works but not so impressive in 7" tablet.

This app is really awesome .. but I want to know why is the whatsapp shortcut not working with any of my contacts ?
and if you could improve on the starting time of the app that would be great for the main purpose of the app..
Looks like a promising start!
Two things would be great to add:
(1) an option to add all contacts instead of adding each manually 1-by-1 (of I missed the function to add all at once)
(2) more messenger options (e.g. Line, Skype etc.)
very very nice ui

In test now...
Thx!
B:silly:
Very nice!
Suggestion!
Make the contact pictures larger and/or with square/rectangular frames (maybe an option to choose too). There is just too much white space between the contacts.
Lags?
the stock contacts application is seems quite laggy. Sometimes I have to wait close to a minute when I want to make a call. very frustrating when I have to do that in front of someone also carrying a smartphone. Takes the charm away.
My Question: Does this solve the problem of laggyness usually seen on ICS/JB phones? I currently have the Munjeni JB ROM for Xperia Sola.
Thanks in advance.
Overall awesome, lacks a widget. Hope you'll make it in a new version.

Update is out
Hi, Draw2Dial has been updated to 1.1 fixing a few minor bugs found by users.
People seem to like it so I must say thank you for the nice ratings, reviews and feedback.
Any shortcuts availble?
Is it possible to have a shortcut to launch the gesture field directly without having to press the tab? It would also go nicely combined with an invisible tab.
Just some thoughts. Good start! =]
Hello, thanks for sharing your thoughts about the app. A -almost- invisible tab icon is a great idea and I will get on it soon.
As for the shortcut, do you mean having it instead of the tab, so you can launch the gesture field from certain home screens only?

Is there any way you could post the apk on the OP? Many people have no access to the Play Store, so they would likely benefit if you added the apk here for them to download.

Done.
Also, app has been updated.
v1.2
- New customization options (three new service icons)
- Minor bug fixes
Useful app that i would love to try. However......
Remembering the "speed dial" numbers is do-able no prob. But would it be possible to have the option of drawing of drawing initials??
To set it up so i could draw JM or CL ect... to get a contact that the app has linked to that input??
Just a thought.
I really like this app it works well but if I may I would like to suggest that if its possible to add the ability to draw out a complete 7 digit number and save it for those occasions when you need to take down a new phone number. I think that kind of functionality would be tremendously useful especially if it can be done from the lock screen. Again just a suggestion.
thanks for sharing ur app... keep rocking
thanks for sharing ur app... keep rocking...will update the review after playing with it..
Awesome app. Patent this right away dude or an OEM is gonna use it as a "new" feature.
Nice app and very useful especially on the lock screen. Suggest that once enabled icon should be invisible from the lockscreen but is running in the background. What do you think?
great app but useless with talkback for my blind dad
very nice idea, couse with ICS and furthermore we lost speed dial in phone app (it was present in froyo and GB)
but it needs work...i tested, it's soo hard to recognize #1 or #9....then for example ...contact was saved #1 ...i draw 5 to test ....it said...there is no contact on 5 but it dials the 1
or i draw 8 and it wants 3...etc.
but overall realy great idea...was looking for speed dial app

Hi,
First of all kudos for coming up with a new launcher. I always liked the Idea of card style app organization.
I have some suggestions though,
1. Keep a Home screen with Clock/Weather/Calendar widget. That is the minimum requirement for a lot of users.
2. With a right scroll or left or up or even the app drawer selection, get to the cards page you have created. Any one option of those would be great.
3. When one app has been selected for a particular card, keep that app unselectable from the app selection. When one wants to change the app from one card to other they can drag and drop. Or if its not possible then you can give a tick beside the app in selection making the user aware that the app has been categorized.
4. Keep All apps card as default. As of now for all apps we need to slide down and go to all apps. For a frequent app installer like me who cannot keep a check on the regular apps installed its a pain to every time go and select the apps to other card as there is no auto organizer.
5. At the end an auto app organizer if possible.
I hope I conveyed the things clearly. Would love to see this launcher in lime light.
Nice launcher, license download master :good::good:

I'll try to cover many items of your list in the upcoming update
I'd like the launcher to organize my apps into cards because I'm too lazy.
Nice launcher
Thanks
Great
Cool launcher. Nice to see something different apart from the usual launchers.
Found a wierd bug though:
I've been having trouble adding certain apps to cards. Kinda frustrating since it's work-related apps
These apps include: Chrome, Chrome Dev, Hangouts, Slack, LinkedIn
So I'm gonna check back in a couple of weeks when you had the time so sort out bugs, because I'm too lazy to find them in the drawer everytime I need them

3. When one app has been selected for a particular card, keep that app unselectable from the app selection. When one wants to change the app from one card to other they can drag and drop. Or if its not possible then you can give a tick beside the app in selection making the user aware that the app has been categorized.
4. Keep All apps card as default. As of now for all apps we need to slide down and go to all apps. For a frequent app installer like me who cannot keep a check on the regular apps installed its a pain to every time go and select the apps to other card as there is no auto organizer.

Rovers Floating Launcher
Your favorite apps, always one-click away
meet Rovers, always there for you, above any other app, waiting for your call.
You'll always be just one-click away from your favorite apps, shortcuts and actions.
Features
Floating Launcher
Rovers will float around your screen, above other applications, waiting for your call. Rovers' trigger can be moved around so it won't interrupt your regular use.
Customization
With over 200 colors and 300 icons you can customize every Rover item in a unique way. Moreover, the floating trigger can be styled via the settings screen.
Launch Modes
Using a tablet? We've got you covered! Rovers can be launched horizontally & vertically. Want Rovers to always launch on a specific corner? There's a "Sticky Corner" option in the settings just for that.
Organize Your Rovers
Use folders to keep your Rover items organized and quickly accessible.
Edit-Mode
If you're not pleased with the current Rover items list that you've got, long click on any Rover item, it will launch the 'Edit-Mode'. In the 'Edit-Mode' you can simply drag items to relocate them or slide them away to remove them.
Rovers Actions API
Rovers Actions are basically one-click action that will make your life easier, such as:
Floating app drawer | RAM Cleaner | Flashlight trigger | Direct Call | Settings Toggles & more.
ANDROID DEVELOPERS! We made it easy to create Rovers Actions quickly with an opened Rovers Actions API, it can be found here: http://roversapi.schiztech.com
Translations
We'd really appreciate any help with translating the application :fingers-crossed:
We have a tranlation tool to make things easier: http://translate.schiztech.com
Thank you so much for your help!

Tried it out for a few minutes, Looks awesome! :highfive::highfive:
any chance for a Spanish translation? I can help with it if needed
Love the app. Can I suggest putting the name of the button to the side of the icon like a normal FAB?
Also maybe the popup icons a hair smaller then the main icon. Would love to see the ability to add floating widgets.
So much potential with this thing, glad someone was able to get it done.
is it possible to make the bubble smaller?
I've wanted something like this to toggle on and off with Bluetooth in my car for quick access to stuff when driving. I could do this myself, but can it be done with the more settings add-on? Also, can we speed up or remove the opening animation?

No, the more settings extensions will let you customize the appearance of the floating trigger, it has no connection with system toggles.
BUT, we have made a Rovers Action that can do that, just add new Rover -> Choose 'Actions' -> 'Settings'
it'll direct you to download the Action from Google Play, and then you'll be able to add WiFi, Bluetooth, Brightness & Rotation to your Rovers.
Good job, works well
Regards.
@nuttsak
We were thinking about adding labels but dropped the idea to keep the minimal look, we might add it as an option through the settings in the future, thanks for the suggestion.
@Markwarbies
We will look into adding size option through the settings.

Great idea and it is quite beautiful.
Could you pls make it compatible with xHalo (xposed module, a small floating screen for apps) ?
Thanks.
@ho0o0o11111
Compatibility to external tools might be added in the future, but it's not on the top of our list.
We're currently concentrating on making Rovers stable and unique :good:
Hope you understand :angel:
I think I was misunderstood. I don't want to switch on Bluetooth via your app. I want your app to launch when connected to specific Bluetooth devices ie my car.
@ratbags that's actually a really cool idea! triggers like bluetooth, location & such... we'll take a look at implementing it.
in the mean while you can hide Rovers in the notifications panel, and only show it when needed.
@doroy Thanks man!
Spanish translation is in our plans but we'll need your help with it, we've came up with a translation tool that will help you all translating Rovers to your on language.
We'll be thankful for any help:

New update released (might take a few hours until you'll get it)
1.0.21
Attempt to fix a few glitches that users reported
let us know if there're any features you'd like to see :fingers-crossed:
It looks pretty damn good, going to give it a try. How is it on battery consumption?
Looks nice and easy to use. However the animation is slow to show the apps. Its like i press it then wait a good 1.5 sec... so multi tasking seems slower than usong the recents button. Maybe you could make option to remove or make the animation faster....

Great app! Is it translated to Brazilian Portuguese yet? If not maybe I can help with that.
I also have 1 or 2 suggestions if it's OK to share.
Great work!
