In the mean time, you may use a Torch app and make a shortcut on quickbar that you can quickly toggle it.
great app, thank you!
some observations:
- when searching through the contacts, it's not listed in alphabetical order
- if device is locked, when using create new sms, the device does not unlock, it just launches the messaging app behind the lock screen, would be great if it unlocks the device

Hi Bao, hit me up with a PM if you're avail. for future freelance projects in Sai Gon
Sent from my ST18i using xda app-developers app
Reboot
Could you add a confirmation dialog to the reboot feature and a check box in settings for those of us that want the dialog box?
Also, could you add an option to merge multiple notification bars into one and put an arrow at the end(s) to switch between the bars?
why don't you take one picture up here?
Picture 1 shows how the notification bar would look before clicking the arrow on the right and picture 2 shows both notification bars and the arrows on the end of each shows that they are linked.
Two ways that this could be implemented are:
All bars are automatically linked and you could only have 1 bar showing at a time
Long press on one of the bars and click a link icon and then click another bar, with this you might want to put a box around the linked bars and automatically move them next to each other
I hope this makes it clearer.
thanks
I also thought that if you are able to make linked bars, that there could be an option to automatically create the linked bars after a limit has been met. Like a check box to enable a limit and another option to set a limit, list or text box. This would make this app that much more user friendly.
Great program
This program works great for me, unlike another similar notification bar program I tried that caused unexpected/unwanted changes to my phone's behavior.
Keep up the good work.

How to edit?
leducbao - this is a wonderful app, I use it all the time. A couple of things that I have not worked out, however, are:
1 How to edit an existing bar e.g. remove/replace shortcuts?
2 How to re-order icons in a "new" or "existing" bar (linked to question 1)?
I cannot find that these two issues are clarified in your FAQ and feel it would be really cool if they were explained (then again, I might have missed something, sorry if that's the case!).
Congratulations on a really, really good app.

What is Hangar?
Hangar is an Android app that provides easy, relevant shortcuts in your notification drawer to your most used and relied upon apps.
This lightweight notification bar gives you convenient access to these apps from anywhere in Android while intelligently updating the priority and order of the shortcuts based on your daily use.
With the new pinned apps feature, favorite apps can be pinned alongside the ones Hangar has set. Want a fresh look on those shortcuts? Hangar now supports custom icons, letting you set a stylized theme by installing one of the many gorgeous icon packs available on the Play Store.
Hangar also keeps track of app usage statistics and includes 2 highly customizable widgets.
Features include:
Auto-updating notification drawer shortcuts containing your most used and important apps
Sort and display apps based on user specified weight factors
Pin apps to always display
Support for icon packs and custom icons
Optional second row of icons
Multiple page switching in notifications
Blacklist unwanted apps
Fully customizable! Change the number of shortcuts, icon color, icon size, background and more..
Additional re-sizeable widget to launch apps
Re-sizeable widget to view app use statistics with color coded bar graphs
Widgets intelligently scale according to size and device
FAQ:
Q: How do I pin apps or select specific apps to appear in Hangar?
In Hangar go to Settings => Apps, select an app and "Pin app" from the menu.
Q: How do I customize the icons Hangar displays?
You can apply an icon pack by selecting "Icon pack" in Settings => Appearance. You can also manually adjust each app's icon in Settings => Apps by selecting an app and choosing "Change icon".
Q: How do I remove the statusbar icon?
You can change the position in the Settings => Behavior screen. If you select the bottom position, the icon goes away! One limitation of Android 4.4 and older is that on-going notifications require a notification icon in order to have TOP_PRIORITY as a notification. As a workaround, there are a number of icon choices (Settings => Appearance) which includes a Transparent icon. That icon creates a transparent gap, of course, but it's the best you can do without lowering the priority.
On Android L however you can have notifications set to display on the bottom and manually give them priority. This is done by longpressing the notification itself and manually toggling Priority in the settings page.
Q: I can't install Hangar in my country!
This is caused by Google limiting in-app purchase apps (which Hangar uses for donations) to exclude certain countries. However, since Hangar is open source, you can always install it via F-Droid. F-Droid is an open source app store that will automatically notify you and let you automatically install new versions when they come out. Go grab F-droid here: https://f-droid.org
Q: Will Hangar drain my battery?
No! It uses very little memory and very little CPU. It also only runs while your phone is awake and does not hold wakelock.
Q: Can I have the recency weight and in-app use stats last a week/month/6mos/etc?
Right now time is added forever. This is one of the highest priority features and will be coming in the near future.

Who cares?
Hangar is somewhat of a niche tool and may not provide much use to people who extensively modify custom ROMs.
What makes Hangar unique is that the shortcut bar is not hardcoded. It is dynamic and based off the apps you use and rely on most. If this functionality, coupled with the fact that Hangar uses Android's native notification drawer in a lightweight and universal manner appeals or interests you then Hangar might be an app worth checking out.
Free?? As in beer or freedom?
Both! Hangar is GPLv3 licensed with the full source available on my github. Please feel free to send me pull requests with new features, bug fixes, etc, or visit the github page to look at planned features.
Great app, keep up the good work!
Awesome job!
Very nice app, good work.

I tried to be quite progressive in my use of the Android SDK API. There's 1 particular function that I ended up using that specifically requires 4.2. Otherwise the app could run on 4.1, but I thought the hit in terms of performance and ease by not using this function warranted sticking to a 4.2 minimum.
That said, custom notifications in general require at least 4.X, so I couldn't go much lower than 4.2 anyway.
Hope that helps clarify.
Nice app - one request
Nice app, love the concept, as I can't stand apps on my home screen. I'm currently using LMT Launcher (pie) and Swapps to access apps from my home screen. While I will probably never get rid of LMT until we get decent, voice-activated AI, Swapps has some (to me) minor irritations. The one request I have, if possible, is to give us an option to manually chose which apps are displayed because right now most of the apps apps that are (or would be) in Hangar are the apps that I access from LMT. Give us that and I'll be using this in a heartbeat. Theming would also be nice (see screenshot), but is not the deal-breaker that not being able to chose my apps is. I'll be keeping an eye on this.
PS if I'm an idiot who can't figure out how to manually set apps some simple instructions would be nice.

Thanks for the feedback!
Right now, Hangar uses a combination of recency, in-app use time and total # of launches to determine the importance of an app. You can modify the "weight" to favor one of those metrics, but based on those things it shows you apps in your notification drawer.
As you use your apps, Hangar will "learn" and adjust accordingly, prioritizing your most used/needed apps and rearranging the notification drawer shortcut bar.
So to answer your question -- currently there's no way to manually "stick" an app. That said, you can blacklist, say, the apps you access from LMT, which would cause Hangar to display others, again based on the metrics I mentioned above.
While you can't modify the background (Android limitation), you can modify the color of the app icons in the notification drawer. There's a Colorize option in Hangar Settings -> Appearance.
Hope that helps!

JESUS H CHRIST!! Sometimes my inability to read and comprehend information that is right in front of me is embarrassing! This helps lots and pretty much removes any doubts/reservations/issues that I had. Going to give it a run and see how I like it.
Also thanks for the quick response and for putting this on f-droid
PS Just found out you are a Slim dev. Thanks for an awesome rom. (Sprint S3 SlimKat 5.6)
Nice idea, subscribed for later
Thanks @blk_jack just one question you said background of app icon cant be personalized limitation of Android. How become such thing cant be done while I see some other mods on Custom roms where you can change whatever background you want, even in xposed Wanam and Gravitybox let you change anything.

You can change the background color of the notification drawer, and some ROMs let you change the background color of the notifications themselves. If you have a ROM that does this you should, in theory, be able to set the Hangar notification background to completely transparent (or whatever the ROM limits you to).
On one of my devices I'm still running SlimBean 4.3 (I'm a Slim developer) and we definitely included options in that version to let you customize the notification drawer to your heart's content, but on stock Android (and Slim 4.4) you can't adjust the actual notification background color.
If someone is on a custom ROM and wants to work with me to add a custom background feature for notifications (when using a custom ROM), let me know. I originally had the background color as adjustable, but realized it was confusing when a user was on stock and their changes did nothing.
Thanks that clarify the things I hope the developer will work with you to add this directly in ROMs as it is very nice feature
Thanks again for your hard work :thumbsup:
Giving this a try looks like a cool app
i never use custom launchers so this is probably just right for a 'minimalistic-kinda-guy'. will give it a go and report back.
thank you for letting us enjoy your work .

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!

Being a fan of Chromium OS and a passion for developing new and interesting things, I decided to build a launcher inspired by chromium os, based on Material Components.
GCA or GO Custom Android Launcher is a pixel design inspired launcher with core component features from chromium OS desktop. Its designed and built for Android Go but also offers new devices a fresh and new experience for your homescreen.
Supporting Android 5.x+, GCA offers a single screen launcher replacement app for android users who want a pixel lite experience. Alot of the offered features come from my other launcher, Sapphyx Launcher, and rebuilt to be faster, lighter and ultimately offer a better experience in a small package. It runs beautifully on Android Go, smooth on devices with Android 5 (Like the Kindle Fires) and offers a theme engine that's customizeable by the user.
GCA features are dependant on what Google Apps are installed that depend on an action, whether Google services is installed or not and specific apps that are installed (Action Dash for Dash System Shortcut)
Core Features
-A single screen setup (no grid, one widget).
-A customizeable App Drawer with multi-purpose search.
-The App Drawer features apps with system shortcuts and app shortcuts and allows users to blacklist apps.
-App Drawer supports a secondary "Work" tab to help organize apps in a better fassion.
-App Shortcuts generate a list of selectable app shortcuts in a vertical menu of the app popup.
-Recent Apps
-Easy to use launcher customization
-Pixel/Chromium desktop like Cosmetics
-Launcher uses my wallpaper app, Drywall, as default wallpaper provider. If its not installed, fallback on user selected.
-Notification Badges and Underlining. Clicking on the app will dismiss. Is not supported on Android Go unless activated by OEM.
-Adaptive Icons
-Icon Packs
Adaptive Icons
-GCA Launcher uses James Fenn's adaptive icon view library. The code itself was inspired by lawnchair's backport of adaptive icons for pre oreo devices. It pulls v26 icon assets for foregrounds and backgrounds and relayers them as an adaptive icon view which behave similar to pixel launchers adaptive icons. How you choose to use them will affect performance of the launcher and should be chosen dependant of how capable your device is. Users can select which shape of adaptive icon path they want to use. This will also apply itself to app actions, predictions and app drawer button.
There are 3 options of icons you may use for your drawer.
Pixel Adaptive - will try and generate adaptive icons based on the assets gathered by the icon and created by the system, this will slow down your app drawer depending on your hardware. (Not recommended for Android Go, Does not support icon packs)
Palette Adaptive - will disregard any assets available from the icon and simply scale the icon drawable as foreground and apply the dominant color of the icon for the background drawable (Faster than pixel adaptive, supports icon packs)
Normal Icons - normal default icon behavior and style
What's Not Working / WIP
-Icon Packs that generate their own icons like Icon Pack Studio may cause crashes, please don't use them. Icon Packs developed with BluePrint library are recommended.
-If external data usage permission is denied on first start, homescreen scrim will not be available or work correctly. Homescreen scrim will set to default white if using a live wallpaper.
-GCA is setup to change available features based on Android OS, if you notice something that may not be correct or crashes, let me know. This is your only paywall.
-Android 5.X support is limited but work in progress. Cosmetics and style need updated but it is functional. Please report back any inconveniences and crashes.
-Android 10 support has been added but we are monitoring performance and compatibility.
-Adaptive Shape Views and Adaptive Icon performance may vary on devices.
Changelog
-A detailed changelog can be found in the application settings. It is written in html so translation is your responsibility, html can be copied.
Donations
/ Pledges
-Yearly pledges have been implemented in the app. You are not obligated for any reason to purchase these but if you want regular updates, its recommended. Pledges keep the project alive and a few cups of coffee or a beer is sent my way (depending on time of day).

While making request, take into consideration how itl affect performance. We are keeping Android Go as our target OS. If itl consume memory or increase size massively , im not interested. We are aiming to keep customization minimal and the launcher simple but their could be different ways to approach currently implemented features, and id love to hear your ideas.

New update today, now available on xda labs!
Changes
-Added experimental support for SDK 21 (Any devices with android 5.x are now able to install Symphlyx. Needs alot of work but its useable)
-Added Dismiss popup action for Android 5.x (Clicking outside of bounds on popup will not dismiss menu)
-Improved general performance and optimization for Android Go
-Added ability to dismiss notification underlining
-Added functional reminder widget
-Added semi function Heads Up widget (Previously known as generic At A Glance. Will behave differently on different OS's. Working on a weather provider atm but clicking on weather will ooen google weather. Heads up strings display differnet things on every quarter of the day.)
-Recent Apps now functional (Uses a position and click count logic. Recent apps hold 5 recent apps. The drawer monitors a click count up to 5. Every count is registered to a position and saves the action and icon on that click for the position in recent apps. If that action is already saved in a position, the click data is ignored but the count is consumed.)
-Added the ability to clear search results. Clicking the back button when the drawer is open will dismiss it but if search results are present, it will clear the search results focus first.
-Improved icon pack support and the chooser settings
-Increased homescreen scrim and All Apps button height position
-Fixed an issue where Sensey listener would be killed if the background process was killed by android os. This would make navigating to your apps or settings impossible.

It's been kinda quiet around here. I present a preview of the new popup menu we've been working on.
An update is expected to drop in June. Rebuilding alot of everything.
Let's talk about this new screenshot here giving some lite to Symphlyx Launcher's future.
Users will now have a dock. This dock will reflect recent app icons to the desktop from the drawer. These shortcuts have a popup menu similar to the drawer popup menu but limited to launcher actions. These do not have any sort of notification indicator.
Below the apps is a google searchbar. The searchbar also has 3 items. 2 predictive actions and am all apps button. The all apps button can be toggled while the predictive actions are only available to devices that support app shortcuts. Predictive actions behave very similar to Lawnchair 's logic behind predictive actions. When a user launches a shortcut class, its logged and saved to the prediction items. Only 2 at a time are logged.
Update Alpha 0.5 is now available on xda labs and pending on Google play.
Changes since march reveal
-Widget sliders are dead. The homescreen has been rebuilt to be cleaner, faster and better for gestures. Insteaf of Sliders, Symphkyx will rely on its stand alone heads up widget. Later on, users will be granted the ability to use their own widgets.
-Sensey gesture recognition has been removed due to click interferences we had during development. It has been replaced with our own gesture recognition system that will allow more control.
-The homescreen now offers a Shelf (dock) similar to Chromium. This shelf will later have some theme options available. Shelf will mirrow recwntly opened apps from the app drawer and add them in a 5 item dock. These shortcuts offer limited launcher actions and launcher shortcuts. Below these apps is a searchbar for google. It should open Google now depending on your os and firmware. On the end of the searchbar is an all apps button and a holder for recent actions. Recent actions can be enabled in the launcher settings and is only available to android 7.1+. Prediction actions will list 2 recenlty opened app shortcuts. These shortcuts will remain here untill a new app package is detected and/or replaced by the prediction system.
-The app drawer has had a few things done to it to improve performance and reliability. Colors are extracted in the data set instead of the adapter now and used for the popup menu and badge underlining. The drawer toolbar works the same way as before. Clicking on the google icons will open their respective activities but if something is in the searchbar, it will search that string in that environment. (ex: Google search news, Playstore search news)
-The popup menu still needs some tuning but now builds up on app shortcuts. If a shortcut is available, it will add it in a vertical list menu. This replaces the shortcut action we used to have to view shortcuts in a context menu. This menu is cleaner, faster and feels like a pixel popup. Actions are dependant of your os version and shortcuts are dependant on availability. Shortcuts and popups do not appear on recent apps in the app drawer.
-The settings menu has been cleaned up abit. This menu will only contain dynamic settings. (except icon packs) The menu now has an expansion activity. This menu will hold settings that rely on the launcher restarting or some system dependant.
-The about activity has been rebuilt with attribouter.
-The application is now built on AndroidX and Material Components. Very little 3rd party dependency is used now for a cleaner and reliable experience.
Recent Screenshots
Small update today. Tried correcting the positioning of popup menus on app item positions. We've noticed the popup menus would cut off on far right items and arrows not correctly inflating in the right sport or at all. I simply updated the popup library to correct these issues.
I might look into some sort of notification or alert count in the popup menu which would reset to 0 if cleared with the Clear Action.
A light n dark theme mode is being looked. This will be triggered by time or manually.

Could be promising. Wouldn't let me get through the permissions set-up before crashing.

Interesting, il see what would of caused this to happen.
Well I was searching for a new launcher and xda labs landed me here. Screenshots look dope, but for me launcher has bugs,
1: not able to set homescreen widget even when given all permissions
2: app drawer is cut maybe due to aspect ratio ( mine is 19.5:9)
Well if these screens help, here they are.
I ve received this mail from the devoloper last night;
TeslaUnread is no longer supported and will not be updated again! Please read below for the full details.
TeslaUnread is no longer available via the Google Play Store for several reasons. You can however download the last APK that we released from the link below.
https://help.teslacoilapps.com/teslaunread
Please note, that you can use Dots or Dynamic Badges with the current stable version of Nova. The beta version is not required for those two, but currently required for Numeric Dots.
If you are using TeslaUnread and experiencing issues as of March 27th, 2019, please note that we can no longer update the app to make it work, make changes or add new features in any way. It's simply not possible any longer. Basically it's a use at your own risk type of thing.
To replace TeslaUnread, there is now a new feature built into Nova Launcher itself that you can enable to get numeric count badges. Nova Settings -> Notification Badges -> Numeric Dots. You must be using Nova 6.1.1(currently a beta version) for this. You can find more information here: https://help.teslacoilapps.com/versions/6-1. This still requires you to have purchased Nova Launcher Prime as it is a Prime feature just like all Nova notification badges are.
One thing to note is that Dots, Dynamic Badges and Numeric Dots are notification based. What this means is that you must have a notification in the notification bar at the top of the screen for the app icon to get a notification badge. This is what makes Dots, Dynamic Badges and Numeric Dots 100% accurate compared to old methods like TeslaUnread.
Unread Badges Not Working on Note 8 - Android Pie
I am using the Nova Prime Launcher and I can confirm that none of the unread badges work. Samsung's unread badges do not work either. I am so ready to get a Google Pixel 3. Samsung cannot seem to keep up the pace with Android's operating systems.
Talking about pace, it's ironic how the tables turned since it's Google that implemented a majority of the Samsung's features that existed at least since the Galaxy Note 2.

Is there going to be something built that isn't notification based?
Having the dots be notification based is pointless. I can just look at the notification bar if I want that.
The reason I like it being an unread count is that I can swipe away the notifications and the TeslaUnread count reminds me to come back later.
But if I have to leave the notifications up, that defeats the purpose.
Please create a new built in version of TeslaUnread

I agree. I came across this because my phone call unread count were not clearing anymore with TeslaUnread. I clear the notifications so they don't stack up and don't obscure my lock screen, but I would like to know I have something I need to look at later.
READ_SMS and READ_CALL_LOG permissions it is no longer welcome on the Google Play Store. You can still download the APK here ; You can still dowload from this orginal devolopers(nova launcher web page) own link Here: https://help.teslacoilapps.com/teslaunread
Has there been any movement towards a replacement or something in the works in terms of functionality like Tesla Unread?
The current swipe away notification garbage on Android does not cut it for me as I require my notifications to stay until I actually want them dismissed.
I am stuck using TeslaUnread 5.1.2 which works perfectly for me on my Samsung S10 running Android 10 however the only gripe I have is it doesn't display notifcations on the built in Samsung Email program for some reason which is rather annoying.
Any one using anything different or am I stuck with Nova Launcher + Teslaunread 5.1.2 ?
Well, if the developer isn't interested in updating this wonderful tool - would they be willing to publish the application under say an open source license to give the community the option to further update/develop said tool ?
Did you guys find any other app to do the job?
I culdn't find any
