Free one works now; this is a really awesome concept and the apps look great.
A couple of suggestions: calculator app could be a little bit bigger so its easier to press the keys on a phone screen, and maybe the recorder app can default the filename to the current date and time if no filename is typed in. Also I noticed a bug when I recorded a clip, the date was set to 1 Jan 1970.
Edit: just noticed calculator has a resize button! Ignore that suggestion.

You can resize all windows by dragging the bottom right corner. This should enlarge the Buttons of the calculator. Thanks for reporting the Bug!

UPDATE
26.03.2013
- Tiny Notes: textcolor set to white
- Tiny Calculator: default size is bigger now
- Tiny Recorder: if no filename entried, current date and time is set

this is pretty nice. It's like having the whole xperia small apps suite on a non-xperia! xD

Very nice and useful! Any chance to have a window where any app of my choice can be open? Some kind of multiwindow from Galaxy Notes

fantastic music player, very nice!!!

One suggestion: A option to change the background color for the paint.
Not really important but just a suggestion. Keep it up.

Need add tiny picture player
Awesome app, I'll try all now. But can you add tiny picture player, too. It's very nice to every one watch picture, video or listen music in a screen.
Thanks. :fingers-crossed:

Purchased, installed and now waiting on a hidden SwipePad pad ready to be launched. Great work.

Works great on the nexus 4.... great little piece of ingenuity

Work great on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Thanks for making this awesome floating calculator app! :good:

Thanks! we're glad you liked it

Nice work!
Very interesting use of a calculator.

Thanks!
If you liked our app please rate us at the play store.
If you encountered any problems, please let us know.

Like it so far. If it remains ad-free that will definitely give you a leg up over the other popular hovering calculator.
Something I'd like to see is the ability to vary the size, transparency, and location so that figures on screen can be viewed and calculated.

Useful
Very good and handy app.Works great in my Xolo Q800.

Awesome. Works great on my Galaxy S3:good:

I love this app, but when I press the hide calculator button, or just tap outside of the calculator, it hides as expected, but the bubble doesn't come back. Is anyone else having this issue?

Very nice idea, but what about a gesture option instead of bubble ?

Hi,
Does it happen any time that you try to hide the calculator?
What device are you using?

Notice that at the meantime you can throw the bubble to any corner of the screen, where it is much less obtrusive.

Awesome App! I love it!

Are you by any chance have something on your device that forces immersive mode or anything similar on your device?
If so, when you open the calculator screen, open the bottom left menu, and go to settings.
Switch "Keep bubble available in full-screen mode" to on.
Tell us if that worked for you.

[APP][4.1+] Snype - fastest way to access apps and contacts

Hi all!
I wasn't satisfied with any of the current methods of accessing all apps/contacts so I set out to create my own.
I present to you, Snype.
Snype has a unique dual-index system where switching between "snyping" apps and contacts is almost instant. It has changed the way I use my device and has done the same for many of my beta testers.
It also has a unique "side panel" mode where apps and contacts can be accessed simply by scrolling a finger up or down the edge of the display, which is always active no matter which app you are currently in. A list will appear and automatically begin scrolling to the location in the index that the finger is pointing to.
Snype does not try to replace your launcher. In fact, I designed it so that I would be able to use any launcher I like and not have to worry about the launcher's implementation of the app drawer. This means it's very easy to have a completely uncluttered, beautiful home screen and still be only a second away from accessing any app or contact you desire.
There are no ads and all functionality is available for free. The premium upgrade allows full customisation of the appearance of the lists.
Let me know how it goes for you!

I should mention that the premium upgrade is available for $0.99 for a short period of time to celebrate the launch of Snype. It will be a bit more later.

I love your app Sleep Ambience!

Really good app. I will give you 5 stars!
Some things to change:
- Add more languages
- if possible the alphabet lists have a title to know that one it is for apps, and the other for contacts.
- A widget and a direct access from home.

Thanks for the excellent feedback.
More languages is actually a surprisingly large challenge due to the indexes. It is something that I might look into again later, but when I was having a crack at it before there were some significant technical hurdles.
I have thought about doing something to let you know at a glance which is for apps and which is for contacts... like different colours or something. I'm not sure. Where do you think the title should go? There's not much room there.
I also looked into doing a widget. Unfortunately widgets don't support all kinds of views so making a widget with this functionality is impossible unless the launcher is built specifically for it. That's actually the main reason I implemented the side panels, because I knew the widget would not be possible.

ability to launch apps in halo would be nice. And maybe icon theme support. Very nice and useful app by the way:good:

Thanks for the ideas

I just released an update to fix some crashes in the initial release.

I just released an update which added animation to the side panels, adds Snype to the list of apps and fixes some bugs. I'm still trying to hunt down some bugs that occur only on some devices. Let me know if you have one of those devices please.

Okay, I think I've got all the known bugs fixed. Let me know if there's anything else wonky.

Just released an update with a new feature: favourites bar.
Now it's even faster to access those special few apps and contacts you use most often.

I love the ability to search contracts easily! And light theme looks cool.
Keep it up!:good:

Very good idea. I'm thinking about replacing my app drawer with this app. Unfortunately the fly in and out animations are somewhat jerky (using a Note 3).

Yeah, Samsung devices seem to do that. I'm not sure why, since even my Galaxy Nexus is pretty smooth and the Note 3 is much more powerful. I'll keep trying to make it smoother for you.

Nice work.
This is some nice work! It has a very polished and professional look. Though the icons and window controls make it unusable on my tablet because they do not scale up.

The minimized window icons are the size of an 8pt letter; they are hard to tap. The close button on floating windows is so small that it takes several attempts to close one.

Brilliant !! Simply Brilliant !! Thanks !!

It seems like a pretty cool idea. Floating windows, like it done in Windows OS, is very necessary thing for android os.
But somehow, this app doesn't work for my nexus 5. Any apps just continue work in full scale.

Nice work!!! (saluted)
Downloaded and tried for few minutes and works great
But I only got 512mb (4xx in actual) RAM on my phone
Can you add a switch or something to stop the service?

Great Thanks man ...
Dear Friend ... Your app was a great , brilliant app that worked great on my Galaxy Note 10.1 ( 2014 Edition ) but , the small problem ( it's not a problem but a bit in convenience ) is that the Icons ( the icons shown in the right side of the screen which you should touch to reach the panel of CPU / RAM / etc. ) are a bit small that makes touching them a bit hard ... I were thinking of a Tablet Edition of the app to get a bit bigger icons ... anyway Thanks for your brilliant job ...
With Best Wishes

Same problem on Galaxy Note2 N7100, All apps open in normal window and doesn't work in floating window

same thing here on zenfone 6

shortcuts doesnnt do float, but the widget does, and I'm fine with it, as i read notes on a floating widget while writing it on wechat daily

Nice!
Seriously good job mate! Very professional design.
Same issue as others have noticed, all my apps still open in full screen on my nexus 5 and nvidia shield.

Doesn't work with Redmi note. Apps / shortcut run in full screen, widgets on the other hand.. disappear when i switch to another full screen app.

Yes it seems floating windows and Nexus 5 do not get along. None that I've tried have worked reliably.

[APP][Holofication Nation] Material Steam Modification

Holofication Nation released a holo modfication to the official Steam app on the Play Store. The official Steam app hadn't been
updated in quite a while, and now it's got to the point where it's been three years since the last update of the official application.
Holofication Nation modifies applications so that they follow the most up to date design guidelines for Android, and as per usual, we've done it again.​
What is this?
This App is a modification to the official app from Valve on the Play Store. This mod completely changes the user interface from the ugly interface
that is currently in use, to a more pleasing interface known as "Material design". The visuals of this app follow the Android design guidelines as closely as it
possibly can without having to recode the entire app.
As well as this app being a visual update, the app also comes with speed increases, stability and general smoothness all the way throughout the app.
A closer look
The standard app uses images for the text input box, send button and many more features of the app; using images for assets such as this contribute
to slowing down the speed of the app due to there being more files to read from. I have removed the need for many images in this app by moving the assets
from using images to using official Android code (Assets such as chat text input and the send button).
Every single visual asset of this app has been changed and rebuilt using the Android guidelines. The action bar is no longer an ugly bar with diagonal pin stripes
with a gradient overlay, it's now a single colour Android toolbar. The chat bubbles are no longer obnoxious low quality bubbles, they're now high quality boxes
similar to that of the boxes used for Hangouts. All these visual changes and more in the app.
On the official app, scrolling through web pages (such as people's profiles) was painful, scrolling would take forever with a huge noticeable lag on every scroll,
making tasks such as viewing your games list unbearable.
Screenshots
Other
Unlike the previous version of the mod, this does not require that you uninstall the official application. Please post any bugs and comments on the mod in this thread.

Already downloaded and installed. I used the last version based on Holo and really liked it. I'm using it now and it feels very smooth on my Sprint LG G3 on Android 5.0.1.

Recommendation:
- Male more color schemes ( Light blue, red, green, black...)
- Bring back user avatar on the left panel

Firstly good work, you have saved our souls.
Would it be possible to add in extra stuff in the settings that could make the app more 'personal' such as colour changes to the text bubble or the theme etc..
The stuff other users have said
If possible I'm not sure, putting a button hat takes you to the steam community homepage and keep us logged in
