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...

Ah, don't need to worry(?) about that, cause mine sysUI has been modified with Xposed mod for Xperia. (Anyway, mine is Xperia Z1 4.4.4 stock with Z3 System UI) Thanks.

Love the idea. It's useful if I add call shortcut into widgets

its look nice welldone!

Hi i notice that when i use the widget the notification area its getting on even in settings is off

ouch. Don't know what to do about this, I enabled
wifi tethering and connected with my tablet. Upon disconnecting my tablet was no longer able to connect to anything else. Something was changed in my tablet when I connected to the tethering that has disabled the ability for it to connect to anything else. Do you have any ideas on this?
*edit** Solved. Reset home router. Weird problem.

Work well on my end. It's certainly a bug. I will check it soon.

Noticed this as well. Also, after enabling Wifi Tether, upon disabling the icon stays in notification area. Don't know if that is related to the problem I had above or not. Really like your app.

You should add widgets right from your home screen. Most lanchers support long click on free space to add a widget. Once you are in, you will see Action Widgets 4x1 and other size there.

What Im saying is your phone as these wierd cool icons. how did you get it to look like that?

Damn. I glanced over to the right side of XDA the moment I logged in and saw a screenie with a lollipop background and my eye caught the text "Xposed" and had a mini heart attack thinking Xposed finally made it to lollipop. sigh. :silly:
anyway! Gonna give this a shot.

The GPS toggle does not turn on the GPS, it just sends you to the location menu. (Galaxy S4)
If you could fix it, that would be great.

Hi,
I am testing this app on my Sony Z1c 4.4.4 stock ROM, full rooted.
1. If another app (perhaps a tasker) switches the auto-sync to off then action widgets does not update its state.
2. If I want to change mobile data this app does not do it direct, I get the Android menu to change this.
Brightness and sound seem to work as expected.

Hey buddy. Rom working well here. Havent checked bluetooth yet but everything else is working. You need to move this to development section so more D850 users can know about it, test it and report. With the way its running, its definately a daily driver.
Edit: bluetooth working too.
Playing a video not in full screen mode has some small grey screens appearing above the video. Double tap to sleep on navigation button would be good to add.

Sorry about that, I removed a few apps and that was one because I use root explorer... I'll make sure I include a file manager next build.:good:

Flashed rom last night with 80% battery. Setup the phone with that and then calls and emails all day. 3 hrs 22 minutes screen on time with 25% left before i set it on charge via usb. Everything works. @VECTUS bro this is not a tester base, its a perfect stable rom. Since this is just a start, i am excited of what comes in the future Excellent job buddy.

Thanks! I'm glad you mentioned battery. I have an extended 9000 man battery so I didn't even think about battery stats... But glad to see battery is sufficient... Probably be Monday or Tuesday before I get another update out. So Nova Launcher or Asus???

Which battery is that? Been using Nova Launcher for a long time now, makes the rom more perfect.

I'd personally prefer Trebutchet as it is lightest among all or Google Now Launcher. Simple, doing job no hicups. Props for the rom brother. Good to see someone sharing his work (Y)

Seen some people reporting black screen on front cam while using skype or other video chatting apps on CM13 based roms. No issue here with spectrum. Chatted from almost an hour and no issues.

Please include latest CM changes in your next build, there's a bad wifi bug. (see the last two or so pages of the AICP rom thread if interested)

[APP][4.4+] Battery Saver for Pokemon Go

Battery Saver for Pokemon Go
Save your battery while you are catching some new Pokemons!
Pokemon Go, in order to works correctly, need the screen of your device turned ON and this - you know - eats up a lot of battery.
When you start this app, a persistent and clickable notification is added, just pull down the status bar and tap to launch the app!
How to Use:
- Once you pressed the notification, the screen become black, showing for 5 seconds the logo. After that, the logo disappear and the brightness will be set to the lowest value;
- To turn the screen On again, just "double tap".
Features:
☆ High battery saving! Black color on Amoled Screen = No Battery drain! On LCD screens the gain is lower but keeping the brightness to the lowest level help a lot too!;
☆ Double tap to wake the phone!;
☆ While the device is in your pocket the "Double Tap to Wake" is disabled to prevent unwanted wake-up;
☆ While the app is running, the screen is forced to stay ON so you don't need to increase the stand-by time manually!
☆ While the app is running, also the hardware key are disabled (home, back and recents) to prevent unwanted actions!

I don't like this game. That kill time

I've been looking for an app like this!!! The battery saving option built-in the Pokemon GO is broken for me so this might work instead...
I'll test this today and see how it goes

Just a suggestion though, can you add a floating bubble option in a future update as it would be easier to trigger the saving mode...

Yes you can say that. Like make it appear when you start the service, and clicking it enables the battery saving mode
And since it's circular you can use a pokeball icon for example and it would look really cool

Can you add an intent so we can launch the service in the background with tasker to get the notification up when PokeGO runs, and then another intent to terminate the service?

Thanks a lot mate... I will upload it to the playstore later

Love the new update. For me, the icon is slightly too big considering that I also have the "Go Helper" app floating icon as well.
Is it possible to change the 5 sec wait to a user defined value? I'd rather that it does it straightaway or after 1s instead of waiting 5s.
Not sure if you are aware as well, even though the screen is technically still On (just blacked out), the screen timeout still kick in so occasionally when I double click to get out of the Battery Saver app, it shows my lock screen instead of Pokemon Go. I'm currently using another app called "Stay Alive" to get around this but it would be nice if when Battery Saver for Pokemon Go is running, it would tell the device to stay alive by default.

After using devices like Asus , LG ,samsung and others i came across xiaomi's MIUI .Being a custom rom fan it was too hard to look at miui notification . Those notification style was cancerous . Miui offers a lot in terms of customization and theming.when it comes to notification it s**ks . My device came with android 6 installed so i thought when xiaomi would provide update to nougat the notifications would become better , but that didn't happen so I was left in pain and agony:silly:
So users i present you an app called MATERIAL NOTIFICATION SHADE to overcome your pain and agony too :highfive:
This free app is a flexible replacement for your notification shade; it not only skins the bar and alerts, but also lets you expand them as you would with stock Android. You can also move around the toggles for functions like Wi-Fi and mobile data.
It’s a small, but essential fix for a problem that quickly gets out of hand,so helpful apps like this are a godsend. :silly:
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT:​
miui installed
the above mentioned app
patience
brain ......,(follow the onscreen instructions)
why to install this app ?
why not ? Its free . minimum android version requirement is 5.0 . It changes the look of your notification shade which it is meant to do .
Isn't that enough for you ,eh ?

Was eagerly waiting for some magic for the notification on miui . thanks @Boomshiva for bringing this to light:good:

If this works, it is going to be amazing and revolutionizing for MIUI.

Material notification shade is great, but with MIUI 8.5 on my unrooted Mi5s it needs to be reactivated manually after every reboot, which is very frustrating. I granted the app autostart and every permission, is there a fix for this?

great great app
but i found 2 issues
1- when i activate flash light it lighten the dual tone flash ...( the stock one only lighten the white flash which is more convenient )
2- when i pull down from anywhere on home screen it shows the old nitofication style...to open the new one i have to slide from the status bar itself
thanks and keep it up

Because it works as quick setting..use nova launcher and set pull down gesture to quick setting.. Hope then it will work

Hey, I had the same problem with my Redmi Note 4. All we have to do is open the recent apps, and instead of sliding all of them up, you slide down the Material Notification Shade app and then you'll see the option "lock". It'll be always open

@Boomshiva awesome bro

Great job

Thanks!!

Not working for me, i set quick settings first and notificacions later, and always with the gesture shows the old notification. Another idea?
Thanks!
EDIT: I set up the shortcut on nova and it works!

Personally, I wouldn't call that an issue but working as intended.
At least that's how android has always handled notifications.
@op Thanks!
The awful MIUI notifcation system has been my biggest gripe and main reason to think about flashing a custom rom. It's gotten slightly less bad with the latest MIUI 9.2 update but still looks like crap.
This might fix it. :good:

Glad u guys like this app . Now move to playstore and give some ? there as that would be more beneficial . Thank you

Hi thanks for the app, I am using it right now.
I am on epic rom and I have to point that some toggles do not behave as they should be.
For example the auto brightness toggle is not changing anything, also the night mode toggle do not change the color of the screen.
Except these this is a good app.

Thank you very very much!

my gps and aeroplane mode does not work. using redmi note 4

any chance for MIUI oreo based Rom?
