MinimalLock is simple concept. It has no buttons or sliders, using solely gestures to handle your music controls, sms and call notifications and of course unlocking your phone.
It can display sms or call notification in the form of a contact picture as depicted above. When a notification is tapped it can open directly to the sms thread, show a quick preview or simply dismiss it.
It also has music controls which supports a variety of music players including PowerAmp, DoubleTwist, Winamp, PlayerPro, Google Play Music, Amazon MP3, MIUI, Apollo and many more.
Feature filled and minimalistic. Simple.

If anyone has any feature requests or ideas I will be happy to look into implementing them if possible.
Feedback is greatly appreciated. Screens attached. Enjoy
HOME BUTTON does unlock the screen as many have pointed out however there is no easy way around this. I am looking into it but I'm not sure if I want to implement what is essentially a hack to prevent this. My advice to you for now is simple.. Don't press the home button

Nice work!! The lockscreen is looking good actually. I could see my battery status, time and operator name. Very nice. Love it.
Few UI improvements required,
1. Need to have help screen text.(Even I don't know how to use this. Please provide some more info regarding how to use gesture)
2. The settings screen could be improved more.
3. Could provide some option to select the features to be displayed in lock screen.
This app collides with native lock screen. Need some focus over there.
Appreciate your work
This is simply beautiful, but you might want to work on how it the music data is pulled?
On my Sony Xperia S (not necessarily sure whether or not this is related to my ROM or not) using the stock (Sony) music player, it'll come up as "Null - Null" for all my songs...
Apart from this, it's an absolute beauty to use...
Have yet to test missed calls though, but messages work perfectly.
Nice work mate. Need to work over few issues. But it's perfect looking lock screen. Back button kills lock screen. Even if I unlock the system lock is still showing.

I'll see what I can do, the issue with this is theres no official way to pull music info so it depends on the player to broadcast an intent to say if a track is playing or has changed,, I'll see if I can find one for the Sony music player.. Calls in now fixed along with a few others, I'll upload a new release later on today once I've had time to test it.

By system lock are you referring to a pin/pattern or just the normal slider? And back button does, I thought I had fixed that I'll do it for the next release.
Appreciate the feedback guys keep it coming

Good app!!
New version's up.. fixed a bunch of bugs and made a bunch of optimizations.. changelog in the 2nd post would appreciate some feedback.. thanks
Great app. It works great and looks real good except for one thing. It does not replace my normal sense lockscreen, so I have to unlock twice. That's for the latest version, the first one does it. I'm on an unrooted HTC DHD, on gingerbread. Keep up the good work.

Ok.
Dark Theme doesn't work - having it enabled makes the lock screen appear, but it'll be completely devoid of any information that would appear if the setting was off. I.e., Time / Network appear with Dark theme OFF, don't with it ON.
Though you have fixed the null void bug, now it doesn't fetch song titles / artists at all, nor is it replaced with a placeholder text - THIS DOESN'T BOTHER ME. It adds to the minimalism of the lock screen. But if you still want, I could give you the apk / name if you so desire.
There is a buggyness with the lockscreen as a whole. I'm going to assume that its tied to the Android OS having a native setting enabled? Like, you can't have "None" as a security option and have Minimal Lockscreen just work? Because, that's what's happening to me, unfortunately. I'll have to unlock your lockscreen, then do the android OS's one; quite annoying.
*Edit* I seem to recall that the first version did this - this is probably the only gripe with the application honestly. Revert this, and you have something that's solid.
Another thing, the settings menu, though this is just me nitpicking, when I switch tabs, from settings to the "cosmetic" (for lack of a better word) tab, the screen will redraw the homescreen and flash between the selected tab and the homescreen for about 0.5ms. Similarly, I've noticed that on occasion, the lockscreen (your one) will fail to deploy, and when for example I'm going through my application drawer, the same redraw / flashing will occur.
Apart from that, it's quite good.
Maybe consider incorporating an alternative way to unlock it, or the ability to unlock from the "music" sub gesture menu? Possibly a vertical swipe? It's sorta tedious turning on your phone, double tapping, swiping till you get to a song, double tapping, then swiping again

I'm also HTC user. Got the same issue mentioned above.
1. In case of HTC, it would be nice if native lock screen is disabled. As of now, I have to unlock twice.
2. Not sure, this is related to my ROM. After swiping to unlock, there is some delay (~2sec) to launch the HTC lock screen.
3. In App settings, while switchover the tabs, have some kind of animation. It would be like to have normal transition (eg: youtube)
4. When music player is running in background, its not displayed in the lock screen(Could any other HTC users confirm?)
5. Yes, Dark theme doesn't work.
6. Contacts are not displayed in lockscreen. Does this app automatically pulls up top recent contact from contact history?
Since its beta, hope this this app would be released with stable full functional in near future.
Really it's great app. Thanks for your wonderful time in hearing the feedback from users.
Good luck dev!!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into the random redrawing and I'm aware of the bug with it not showing if you don't have a default lock screen and will fix this in the next release.
Also I added an unlock gesture to the music screen, swipe down, I thought I put that in the changelog maybe I forgot..

If someone can give me the package name of their HTC music app I'll try and get the info showing..
As for the contacts on the lockscreen it shows missed call or sms contacts.. not frequent contacts..
The dark theme makes the text black so if (like me) you use a dark lockscreen you won't be able to see it..
New version is up.. reverted some changes so lockscreen should now be used if you disable the native one.. couple of other changes too..
"Note: Dark theme makes the text black so if you are using a dark wallpaper you won't be able to see it. It DOES work."

I can't help but feel this is directed at me

Hi,
I want to share my fork of SlimLauncher, the popular launcher from SlimRoms. It is based on the latest 7.1 branch but works on Lollipop+. Since in the actual SlimLauncher many settings from previous versions are missing, I implemented the things, which I mostly missed. All features (also app shortcuts) from original SlimLauncher are working also.
Screenshots: second post
Downloads: third post
Added features:
dark/light theme
enable fullscreen mode
hide dock background
increase padding of folders in the dock
hide apps
Resizing icons
lock screen (gesture)
open notifications (gesture)
By users requested features:
Icon pack support (I think this is possible in near future)
Changing colours in app card (I think this is possible in near future)
Swipe right for Google Now (will not be implemented by me)
Google Search Bar (will not be implemented by me)
date on the desktop (Pixel like) (will not be implemented by me)
Notes:
This app can be installed beneath the regular SlimLauncher. The package name is "com.android.launcher3.unofficial", the app name "Launcher3". My source can be found here. I also started apull request on Github. Perhaps it gets merged...
Important:
I made this for my personal use. So if you want more features to be implemented or have some other suggestions, you can tell me but be patient. I have also other things to do. Don't ask for ETAs. If you want to help me, just contact me or fork my Githubrepo and send a pull request.
Thanks

Looks nice , clean, simple, and smooth. Don't have to much features. :good::fingers-crossed:
Thanks for taking the time to re-compile this amazing launcher.
I've attached screenshots from the classic v1.2, which had TONS of features that were for some odd reason removed from newer builds.
I'm currently running v1.2 on HTC M9 SENSE 8 Nougat, and it's working 99% well.

Yes I tested it also, but a few things I'm missing:
- fullscreen (who needs a clock in status bar on homescreen, when having a widget?)
- missing appshortcuts
- increase padding between folders in the dock (n needed of I use more than four items in dock)
Icon pack support would be great as I'm stuck with squares lol.
Filling that space after disabling search bar would be nice (in apps card).
Also. Resizing icons and layout in card apps.
I'm talking about place from screen.
is it possible to add icon support....that would be best.....simplest launcher with icon support ???
I suggest adding a date on the desktop (like in Pixel Launcher) only this thing I'm missing. Good job.
thanks for the dark mod ?
So interesting man, nice modern 'n compact design. I'm gonna try it later!
very nice launcher and indeed slim
Candy7 ROM comes default with SlimLauncher. This is a perfect candidate for replacement without going to another launcher.
Big thanks for this. ???

I will look at it, when I have the time next days... Even didn't recognize it, since I never disabled searchbar...

Disabling Searchbar seems to be fixed. I'll test or a bit and upload an update tomorrow (of out works).

If you don't mind me asking, how do you have custom icons working? And what icon pack is that? They're beautiful.
Awsome Launcher :good:
Thanks for keeping it so simple........i would choose this launcher over Pixel Launcher.
I request you add some features
1) Swipe right on home screen for Google Now........like what Google Now Launcher offers
2)Google Search Bar and Date........Like what Pixel Luncher have
Thanks
This is simply the sequel to my last launcher project, Sapphire Launcher. I started this project last August and began the beta in June of this year. So, Instead of boring you with a story of how I started and what an android launcher is, I will start with what is important to know before you post any comments.
Sapphyx Launcher is not intended to be another Pixel based Launcher. I provide the settings needed to transform the launcher from the "Pixel" interface back to the original launcherinterface. I am not a code junky, this is a learning project for me to learn how to properly use Google Services, Firebase, Analytics, Communicate properly with the user base and community on Google Plus, learn android from within the launcher application and provide cool customization options to your android device. Sapphyx is for Android 6.0 and above because of the code structure I use and the performance I promise.
Sapphyx Launcher is my vision of what I would call an original launcher. Its the kind of experience that slaps you in the face alittle bit to get you thinking why havn't other developers taken up such originality in their homescreen replacement projects. Like my old custom roms (Bionx Roms), i promise a unique experience and a very good customer feedback appreciation program. The launcher, like many other custom launchers, offer customization to pretty much everything. Label text size and color, grid options, toggling views and menus, unique navigation from point A to point B, material user interface, Context Pages, Gestures, Notification bubbles and more! Sapphyx Launcher has been called the ADW of its time as it brings back memories of my current users of the original ADW launcher from gingerbread with the amount of options that are offered. In Sapphyx Launcher, I offer a unique and exclusive feature called Context Pages (Now available in the latest beta) which are my replacement of a swipe to left add on. These pages offer different tools, features and shortcuts to daily tasked completed by the user. Sapphyx Launcher is a premium application and requires a license to use some of the advanced options. I also offer free license to users on certain occasions. Sapphyx Launcher is fully optimized for 64bit environment and Snapdragon chipsets.
MAIN FEATURES (Based on latest beta release)
-Transitional Themeing
-Notification Bubbles
-Homescreen Customization
-Dock Preferences
-Folder Preferences
-Unique Launcher Drawer with toolbar
-Context Pages (With Chooser)
-Unique Wallpaper manager
-Powerful Launcher Settings
-Google Services and Firebase
-Fabric Error Reporting
And more...
If a Licensed is missing, its because I am still testing the code and determining if its reliable for my project. I have no intentions to add Google Now or Oreo features. I may create my own implementation of something similar going forward if requested.
I urge you to join the Google Plus Group as that is my home and where I will be posting majority of what I am working on and previews and also you can sign up from for beta build releases.

Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Version: 1.00.20
Beta Release Date: 2017-08-16
Created 2017-08-18
Last Updated 2017-08-18
Rollouts/Updates
Sapphyx Launcher will be distributed in 3 ways. On Google Play, users have a choice of the stable channel and beta channel. The stable channel will distribute builds that are dependable, less buggy and user friendly. Beta builds will have experimental settings, have relatively new features readying for the stable channel and is open.
Xda Labs will feature dev preview builds in the Alpha Channel, mirrored beta versions and stable versions.
The Google Play Rating system for beta builds point users to this forum.
Ratings
I take the rating system seriously. If you abuse the system you will be pointed out or ignored. If you call out a user or developer, i will call you out publicly. Rate the application based on its performance, its features and reliability. Not what you think it should be or what you want it to be. Do not demand features.
License
I may not include license to a 3rd party resource if i am testing it or its relatively new. A license will be included if its solid and dependable and plan to be kept in the project.
#first!! Excellent launcher bro!!
Hoping to have the final beta update out before the end of August. After that, the next update after that will begin locking features and settings and users will be required to purchase either my premium or onyx license key (no difference except value and support). A handful of features will stay unlocked like icon editing and icon pack support.

I am currently working on a way to lock it out for users who don't like the intentions of it. Its based on a Drawer layout thus the launcher layout is placed inside of it so its not something i can just disable with a view toggle. I have to find a way to lock the drawer from being accessed. Right now, its i provided an enforced lock toggle. Yes, this is a priority im working on.
This actually looks really good, seems to fix the handful of things that bother me about the pixel launcher.ill give it a shot for a few days and see how it does on my s8(TouchWiz is ehh), I'll be sure to post any bugs I find to the g+ group

Very much appreciated. I like to tell users they don't have to keep Sapphyx installed, i care more about what they noticed or found that could be wrong.
Pushed out an update today to the following apps in regards to Sapphyx Launcher.
GSD Premium license now adds a Time Page module for Static Pages (Simple Widget, may add more to it later).
Sapphyx SideDrawer now listens to Drawer Background Color and Column Count shared preferences.
Getting ready to release the API for devs to mess around with as well as adding Shared Preferences inside Sapphyx Launcher settings they will have access to. For example: Static Pages background color.
Happy weekend everyone.
Update 1.00.25 available on playstore, xda labs coming soon.
woow seems very promising launcher!
can you implement a static page that have same feature of oneplus shelf or arrow launcher? i hate google now page on the left, and i would love a scrollable page where i can add my widget and app shortcut!
Hope this can be a added soon1

I already have plans to develop a page similar to Shelf. If I don't get to it, another dev will be able to soon as I will be releasing the API soon todo so. Im just not their yet to be satisfied with public usage.
I felt the same while developing this launcher, i wanted the same concept just another package or feature.

great work man!
I started working on publishing the Sapphyx Launcher API on github. Repository is live but the tutorial and setup isn't finished yet, been busy.
If you have any interest in it, feel free to star it. Github account can be accessed in the launcher about information. Il have some things documented above in OP when everything on github is finalized.
API is live on my github. I will be publishing some of my pages on my Github for examples.
The next update will be official release anf as a reminder will be locking all premium settings and requiring a key to unlock.
As apart of the update, Im compiling on Android Oreo which has broken a few things and improved performance so Im in the middle of a massive rework right now. The Extended homescreen is more aggressive now, making it feel more like a drawer than a extra page on your homescreen. This makes it less visible for users to notice if you do not want to use it vs users who will be using it. A large number of Force Closes have been patched. Ive gone through the launcher settings and moved a few things around while revamping a few views (Like the Avatar bottom menu).
Il be focusing on more user requests near release so keep the logs and requests and feedback coming.
A new feature im currently working on for Sapphyx Launcher. Kinda like a mock of the One plus Shelf.

looks lit man !
cant wait
Another look at the redesigned Left and Right Panes in Sapphyx Launcher's new update currently in development.
Static Pages now have an indicator to indicate which page you are on and how far left you are. Above the container is now a Google Now search widget which solves the delima of Now on left as clicking on it opens Google Now in that view. (I could add the Companion code from lawnchair but i really don't want to copy from them)
The Smart Pane has pretty much a final design. Just lacking its features at the moment. Currently looking at some options users could benefit from if they choose to use this feature for a cleaner homescreen setup.
This new update is planned for the end of September or beginning of October. I have a few things i want to touch up as far as existing tweaks, revamp the UX for the launcher settings, fix a few straggling bugs in a few tweaks and finalize the new Smart Pane and lock all premium settings.
A project update for xda followers.
I plan on doing a dev preview as an alpha build on xda labs soon. This build would be labled as an Alpha build and be a preview of the fall update. I hope to have this live next week. If you use this build, I expect feeeback. I will announce when it goes live.
I recently just switched to the newest Android Studio 3 beta and updated the launcher to compile on Oreo. The result was a massive amount of broken activities and actions because of new behavior and deprecated code and rules in Oreo. I have been working hard to fix everything and patch anything in need and remove anything that was completely broken. The result was a faster launcher but their is some weird behavior still and we're trying to locate the bugs and fix them (For example the drawer hangs or gets stuck as you swipe up from the dock)
I have been finishing up what I need to for a few new features, one of them being Sleeve. Sleeve is my representation of the One Plus Shelf feature. Altho it isn't 100% complete yet, I want users to get to try it and here from them what All could go in this hidden home screen. This screen is summoned via a gesture or launcher action.
A great amount of the launcher and interface has been rewritten to be more user friendly and easier to use as well as make that first impressions on many. The launcher settings has been re organized, a new long click listener was added to the carrot indicator. A few fixes to icon pack helper for Oreo and patches to pre existing tweaks so they behave correctly.

Emerald Launcher is a simple home screen for Android phones. It is based on TinyLaunch code with lots of improvements and is in beta stage. It provides some features to make it easy and nice to use. You can resize layout as you wish, apply icon packs, easily access apps via search or sort them by categories.

Any help is appreciated. Please feel free to post suggestions or report found bugs here. Thanks.
Surprising not to see comments here. Just found it on F-Droid and think this is a fantastic launcher implementation. No unnecessary permissions, no ads, no statistics or analytics, good customization, fast.
Thank you so much for developing this. Still playing with it and personalizing. ( Came from using KISS launcher for quite a while. )
I was wondering if it would be possible to change a single application's icon ( or all of them but without installing an icon pack ) and found a workaround...
PNG files generated in Emerald's cache folder at /data/data etc can be replaced, one by one or all of them. No need for icon packs. In case this is useful to anybody.

Hello,
i also would like to thank the developer for this nice launcher. I tried it and found it great, but...
i'd like to have the ability to search contacts and settings and not only apps as Emerald does. Is it possible to add this feature as well as widget support?

Not to sound rude, but the lack of those features is a huge plus for me. Plenty of other launchers are loaded with functions such as those. Try KISS or OpenLauncher for instance, just to mention two out of dozens.
Hello.
Thank you everyone for the support and sorry for the late reply. @Ultramanoid, I came from KISS myself. It is fine, but lacks some features such as folders and grid layout, that's why I've forked TinyLaunch and started to modify it.

I'm going to add support for shortcuts, so it'll be possible to search through contacts if you add them on the homescreen. About settings... I think that settings search is unnecessary, because it won't speed up toggling much. Widgets are most likely not to be implemented. You can use EcoHome as a separate screen for widgets, it's very lightweight.
I'm looking for help with testing alpha versions of Emerald. If you want to help, please e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send you the latest apk with instructions. I have to mention that test apks won't include features for Nougat and Oreo, so if you use these OS versions, please be ready to some bugs and make a backup of preferences. Thanks.
Might want to updated the link so it's not the description (should be this): Download From Play Store
Very nice launcher. I'm using on Nougat on a very special kind of phone (F25). I'm having a problem with an icon pack though. It just contains 2 icons but doesn't get applied in any way.
Okay but.....
Just gave it a quick try and here are my results
1 - adding to the dock, on my phone the home/back/recents button gets in the way. Seems to fix it if I turn the phone landscape and then back. But then it comes back as soon as I touch the menu on the top left - see screen shot.
2 - no shortcuts or 1x1 widgets - not sure how basic you want the launcher to be.
3 - on my phone I prefer to be able to move the things. like your search bar, etc. My phone is an HTC M8, anything that requires 2 hands to do (or reaching to the top of the screen) is annoying.
4 - since you only have 1 screen, maybe making gesters do something - like making swiping on any part of the screen switch categories (instead of the top of the screen).
5- Maybe allow changing the size of the text for the apps on the screen.
6 - If you set to just text, the dock has all little green android
might be more, but not ready for prime time, good luck.

Hello, @bradley_e_smith. Thank you for the review.
1. This issue was discovered already, but I can't reproduce it, because there is no phone with on-screen buttons to test it.
2. Shortcuts are planned and widgets are not.
3. I've updated the app recently. Now it's possible to move the main bar and apps to the bottom.
4. Yes, I'll probably add gestures soon.
5. The text size can be changed through appearance settings.
6. It's a known issue. I don't know what could be the best option to show. There are three possible options:
- always keep dock icons in cache;
- show text labels in dock.

Hello. Please could you answer some questions to help? Does this icon pack work with other launchers? Is it listed in Icon Pack option? Thanks.

Hello,
This icon pack is working with Lawnchair launcher at least. I have not tried on other launchers. It's listed in Emerald Launcher settings.
Shiny is a live wallpaper that gives you a highlighted side border with a shifting gradient. It is especially good for amoled displays. You have control over the corner radius and border width to customize it to your own taste.
This app will be receiving many features, so stay tuned for that.
Download links and changelog are in the post below:
This app was made possible by the work of @dax105

List of features i will be adding(suggest a feature only if it is not in this list):
1. Ability to select different colours for the edge.
2. Ability to apply this to the lock screen only.
3 Ability to add a custom image instead of the black background.
Nice work man! Before other features I just want those discontinuities on upper left and right edges removed, please work on that.
What discontinuities? If you are talking about the darkening of the top left and right edges in the preview , it is not the app but an overlay of the Android system ( The set wallpaper text is written on it). It does not look the same when it is applied.
The previous version used to clip the corners but I have fixed it... If you think there is something else please show me a screenshot, so that I can understand...?
Using it on my Asus Zenfone 5z. Works perfectly.
Can you add Notch support just like that OP 6 wallpaper?

Sure
same thing as the other one in the OP6 thread, no option to set custom wallpaper, and it displays over the notch cutting a portion on top unfortunately
It's amazing :angel:
Working perfect on Pixel 2 XL android 9 thanks

Thanks for your work but I need to set only lock screen
I have been wanting something like this for a while now! Thank you! I hope in the future you add more effect styles, much like the edge effects on Samsung software.
I see that you plan on allowing custom images too which is appreciated.
Can't wait to see where you go with this!
Can someone mirror it to AFH please? I can't download it on the link given for unknown reason. TYSM..
Nice , is more higher Speed Factor possible?

Dear developer. I am using this app. I loved it. My request is if you can add top centre curve feature for notch screen mobile. I am using oppo f9 pro. Kindly let me know if it is possible.
Thanks i will try it
