I am very excited to share my app called Icondy
This app will merge the many icon packs into one icon pack.
In simple words, using this app user can create their own icon packs and apply the same via the supported third party launchers.
For example if user have icon pack 1 and icon pack 2 , but using any launcher user can apply only one icon pack.
But using this app user can choose some icons from icon pack 1 and icon pack 2 and create the new icon pack.
NOTE: There are so many similar icon packs available in the play store, but mostly none of the icon packs theme all the application, one icon pack theme a,b, c application and other icon pack theme d,e,f application. what if user has installed a,b,c,d,e,f application but want to theme all the icons means he can use any one of the icon pack , here comes this app handy and useful.
Requirements
★ Third party launchers
★ Iconpacks User must have installed minimum two iconpacks.
Supported Launchers
★ Lucid
★ Nova
★ Apex
★ Action
★ Go
★ Solo
★ Smart
★ Aviate
★ Next

★ Nine
★ Unicon
★ ADW
★ Almost all launchers which has iconpack support.
How to use
★ Create the iconpacks using this app.
★ User Must have installed one of the supported launcher listed above.
★ Go to the supported launcher then apply the Icondy Iconpack.
Get Icondy on play store for automatic update
Get Icondy Pro on play store
Pro version unlocks the fallowing premium features in the free Icondy App.
★ Create unlimited icon-packs.
★ Choose more than two icon-packs for blending.

This looks like a great app but obviously launcher support is very limited at the moment.

Yes, hopefully devs from launchers implement this as it is a terrific idea and adds another level of customization to these launchers. Nice work.

A lot of the big name launchers are pressured into redoing their launchers from launcher 2 base to the new launcher 3 base. Which in my opinion is a huge step backward, Nova just relessed his materinova like 3 weeks ago, he's still trying to appease everyone and implement all the previous features into the new build. Just bad timing for you, lol. I've already seen people ask the dev of nova to update to the android M launcher which isn't even official yet. Lol. Only thing we can do is email the devs asking to implement this request. Thanks for this cool feature, hopefully devs will implement it soon.
LEGALIZE IT.
Mattias Duarte ruined android. Material design sucks.
As an Icon Pack creator/designer, I'm wondering if people could be able to create a new apk or something with the combined icons, and redistribute it.
In that case, this is really bad in terms of legal stuff because of some paid icon packs.
really very nice and practical app.
Is it possible to add the possibility to select own icons for an app ?
There are always some apps you can´t find icons for .
it would be awesome :good:

I have API for this app and explained in this thread
Please ask you're launcher developer to use api to support this app.
I'm slightly confused as to exactly what this does. I have a series of iconpacks named Chromeatlix. If I were to rename all of my drawables to the naming convention that you have, it is my understanding that a user who has multiple packs from this series could then have multiple variations applied throughout? This is not a slam against your work but how is this different from how most launchers work in allowing users to select different iconpacks icons ...thus allowing multiple variations for individual icons? Does this allow for a random setup, ie..phone from one pack,contacts from another, etc. automatically?

any screenshots?
Had a quick play and is pretty basic at the moment. But a very promising start. Screenshots not really necessary as all it adds to your screen are four squares in the 4 corners of your screen which can be assigned gestures of your choice. I tried it on Xenon rom and it worked great. Looking forward to it developing further. @dev might be worth putting up a short video showing of is main features.
Good work. Keep it up. :thumbup:

Did you try configuring any widgets?
1. Long press
2. "Edit mode"
3. "+"
Also, with one or more "Shortcut Dock" widgets placed on the home screen, you can long press an app from the app tray and "Add to Home Screen".

I like the name, it's unique. I actually think it would be pretty stupid to complain about the name.
Anywho, gave it a try and like it so far. Only thing I would love to see is maybe give the option to make the gesture squares transparent. Other than that, awesome lightweight launcher. Love the whole no grid arrangement. Some wallpapers/widget combos just don't look right with having to stick to the grid.
Looking nice, would really help for a short intro at first start up very innovative and very unique nicely done, also another note would be to add a app drawer we can access via gesture so we don't have to assign every app to a gesture. Thank you for sharing and for your time in creating this great job so far, will keep my eye on this one for further development

Glad you like it!
You can put shortcuts on your homescreen, but they're not separate items; they have to be stored inside a Container widget. The launcher comes with one such widget ("Shortcut Dock") so you have one available. Once you put a Shortcut Dock on your home screen, you can swipe up to view the app tray, then long press an app icon and "Add to home screen".
I have been busy working on new & improved features for the launcher. Obviously one of the things I need to do is have an inital setup that automatically adds a Shortcut Dock and some default shortcut icons.
Waiting for more updates. Good job for now

All widgets can be resized in edit mode using the standard two-finger pinching gesture.
No, the current version does not have a Folder widget. A Folder widget will probably be bundled in the version after next. I don't know whether anyone who has replied to this thread is a developer, but you can also develop your own container widgets.
Cool thanks for the resize of the container widgets ...
Another thing if we could get transparence in drawer ...
Hey mate, I really like the launcher. I tend to go for a very minimalist look and this could work well for that.
My only suggestion ATM is to use a different color picker.

Nice job on the app. I can see alot of people using this. If i move to a 4.2 rom, i will use this because i do not like the "two page" notification layout. Right now on a 4.1 rom, i see no reason to use this. Love the way how you can add more shortcuts and the theme. Keep up the good work :thumbup:

Hi, We will provide a direct upload link soon. Thanks.
This works pretty well, my only gripe against this app, it doesn't have a native look and feel about it. Android SDK has made several resources available in the system for developers to allow and app to feel integrated with the system by using the system look and feel. Maybe give us an option to theme the app or fall back to defaults.
By app you mean the settings activity or the Control Center itself?

I mean the Control Centre itself. Falling back to defaults, meaning using existing system resources as found in every Android rom. This will make it feel much more tightly integated in the system itself. I have a Samsung Galaxy SII, before I had an LG p500, simply because I didnt want an iPhone and as a developer really dislike the platform. That being said, I want my Android device to look like an Android device, if you get my drift.
These resources are available in the android.R. namespace, worth a look.

It's all in the first letter of the app. To open 'w'hatsapp, you quickly press 'w' & you're presented with just the apps that start with 'w'
Long press apps and mark them as favorites to make accessing those apps even easier.
There are 2 ways to use LaunchBoard:
Launcher icon
Homescreen widget
Pin the Launcher icon to the bottom tray of your homescreen. Clicking on it will open Favorites by default. So, if you have marked all your frequent apps as Favorites, they are just a click away. If the app you want is not in your Favorites list, click on the 1st letter of the app in the keyboard to quickly get to the app
Adding the LaunchBoard Widget to your home screen is the best thing you can do to launch apps. YOU CAN THEN GET TO ANY APP WITH JUST A SINGLE TOUCH. Try it, you'll fall in love with it.
Use the Theme Engine (Settings -> Appearance -> Theme Engine) to tweak the look & feel of the app. Using Custom themes, you can create & apply any number of themes. Intermediate and advanced level of theming allows you to tweak the colors of every aspect of the app.
Hope you enjoy this app. Have suggestions? Let us know in the comments

How LaunchBoard is better?

Thanks for providing me a chance to explain how LaunchBoard can be better than the other alternatives, I'll try my best
To launch apps using search bar in other launchers, you would need to:
- click the search bar or swipe down
- Type in letters until the app you want shows up
- In most of the cases, the results will be shown on top of the screen (as in Google Now launcher). So you have to stretch your fingers to get to the app
LaunchBoard on the other hand was built to get work done with as less clicks as possible (perfectly suits those who like to type a lot less)
If you want to open 'Whatsapp', you just press 'w' and it's readily available to you for launching.
Here's the most important part:
To tap the fullest potential of LaunchBoard, you need to do 2 things:
1. Add the LaunchBoard widget to your homescreen, so that any app is then JUST ONE CLICK AWAY
2. From LaunchBoard, long press on the apps that you frequently use, and select 'Add to favorites'. e.g. If you add 'Whatsapp' to your favorites list, it will be shown on top whenever you press 'w'. This way, you don't even have to skim through the list of apps to open your favorites.
Of course, Z Launcher provides a creative cum innovative way to reach apps by drawing letters on the screen. But it's just more fancy than practical. You would feel great for the first few days, but later on, swaying your hands to draw letters would begin to feel taxing when the craze dissolves.
Try the LaunchBoard homescreen widget to launch apps for 2 days and you're sure to get addicted to it a lot, as it's simple, and just that.
The best part is that you're not locked down to a specific launcher(as in the case of Z launcher). You can add the LaunchBoard widget and icon to any launcher.
Just choose a launcher that you like the most, or keep switching between different launchers when bored, but add LaunchBoard to every one of them and have a consistent Launching experience
Thank you!
Actually a good idea! There are launcher which do this but adding a widget on my homescreen is actually IMHO preferable.
There are two things which could be better: The icons for the favorites are to large and waste unnecessary space. Maybe you can make them scalable.
And second support for icon packs would be great. When use my launcher with a super duper icon pack and then look at the ugly system default icons in your widget...
Thank you

It gives immense pleasure that you liked the app.
We'll move your feature requests to high priority ones on the pipeline
Thank you.
Battery friendly
The best thing that I like about this app, apart from being able to launch apps quickly is that, it is extremely battery friendly. No battery drain due to background jobs, and nothing. Just pure value as it works flawlessly.
Thanks for the in depth answer. But wouldnt the gesture like writing faster then having to put up an keyboard and presseing a key?

LaunchBoard was built with the main intention of reducing the number of clicks needed to get to the app you want to launch.
If opening the keyboard using the app icon and then pressing a key seems a lengthy process for you, that's the exact reason why we provide the LaunchBoard homescreen widget along with the app.
As you can see, the widget houses all the keys, and with a quick press of a key from your homesceen, you can get to your app.
Using LaunchBoard from the application icon has its own advantages too. It can be readily accessed from any home screen window, if pinned to the bottom tray.
Also, it shows the favorite apps when opened. So, if you have marked all your frequently used apps as Favorites, they can be readily accessed by just a single click using the LaunchBoard shortcut icon
Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback.
Battery consumption was a very high priority for us, so we built LaunchBoard and made it do just what was necessary to function the best.
If you have any suggestions, please share it, we will strive hard to make the app even better for you.
Thanks.
Add an option to change layout to qwerty. Please. :fingers-crossed:
@devthrob excellent work bro keep it up. Thanks and good luck

@devthrob It's an incredible tool, in miui we don't have application drawer, to find an application becomes a problem, Launchboard is not a replacement for the launcher, it's a great complement to the launcher of miui, it doesn't break with the design and is very practical.
Two suggestions,
1. Customize the size of icons and labels in the results.
2. Exclude/hide applications from results
Thanks for the great job.

We initially didn't opt for QWERTY layout, as it isn't a traditional keyboard where u type in words. U always press just one key, and the app that you want shows up. For this, the alphabetical order seemed to fit more naturally, as not everyone is very familiar with QWERTY, especially old aged ones.
That said, we'll add an option for QWERTY layout in a near future update if you still insist, as your comfort is what matters the most, and we have the duty to make sure that every single user should be in their comfort zone when using the app.
Hope you enjoy the other aspects of the app until then.
We would really appreciate a Play Store review, if you enjoy using the app.
Thanks again!
Great app. QWERTY option would be nice as well, I agree.
i'm finding it quite useful with swipe up gesture to open this app in nova.
I feel like for the widget, you should hide the keyboard part of the app. selecting from a keyboard widget to open another keyboard is a bit strange!
An option to resize the icons + icon pack support, are about the only feedback I have to add. Solid effort!

I did gave a play store review. With the same request though. Rated 5 stars. It's actually quite odd to use 2 layouts of keyboards so I requested for qwerty. The alphabetical is nice but it kinda confuses regular qwerty users.
Hope to see an update soon. :good:

Thanks a lot. Keep enjoying the app.
Love the app, but I agree, a QWERTY option would be nice. I find myself having to think where the letters are.
QWERTY is available now

You don't have to think much now, just launch apps effortlessly.

Don't forget to leave a Play store review about your experience, if you haven't yet.
Thank you.
Could you add an option to the poll to launch the LaunchBoard from a side or edge gesture?
