Removed probably becoz of this.

Gmail counter displays wrong (1 when I have no emails), kinda laggy. But have potential, I'm gonna look forward for new versions!

hey Moonwalker1432:
Thank you. But what can u tell me your phone model and OS version?I just have been tested it only on Nexus one and I9000.

Nice Idea.
Just installed it and had a play.
Feedback:
I really like the cube effect. It's super smooth. Only thing that a bit strange is that the cube is made up of a grey tint cube and not the wallpaper.
It would be really cool if you could 'wrap' the wallpaper around every face of the cube so you see a different screen each time you flip. Or have the option to choose a wallpaper for every face of the cube.
Be good to have a Master wallpaper which appears behind everything and then as above for the cube etc..
It has a little trouble skipping transition midway through, so if you flip before the screen has finished it's transition, the animation to the next screen it jerky.
When going from Helicopter view to the selected screen, you get this elastic bounce of the grey tint, I don;t think that need to be there at all tbh, makes it look like it's doing something it shouldn't be.
When I selected Fly in/out for the app draw it threw a wobbly and went to black screen. with that setting set it seem to do all sorts of wired things.
Also when I selected fad in/out it kept taking me back to the app draw, stuck in a loop.
Hope feedback helps:
On a Galaxy S.
Nice to see a home screen with more animations, makes the phone look special, keep up the good work.
Logicalstep

I can't figure out how to get to the cube effect. I think its supposed to happen when I click apps on the dock. If so then it didn't work on an evo, an epic, or a nook color.

@Buff McBigstuff
It's desktop animations like ADW EX
So far it's potential but still a few things that could be changed... Gmail counter is a definite must No new emails and I've still got 4 unread even if under gmail I have non unread the animations could be used a little nicer having the option to set something instead of grey would be great

Hey
This needs a lot of improvement.
The idea is very good and has potential to be a great launcher.

It seems that when I have the App Drawer set to scale that it runs into an error. I open it up, and when I press home it jumps to the homescreen and back to app drawer. The only thing I found to get out off that loop is Force Stop or reboot.
The Gmail counter is off also, showing 8 when I had zero.
Other than that I really like. Your 3D wallpapers are really cool too.

Should this work on my rooted G1?
What are the requirements?

I really like how you can change the background of the apps so it looks like the touchwiz UI and how you can change the animations when you change screens like in GDE.
The whole launcher feels very smooth.
I noticed one bug. If you change the desktop animation to cube and then scroll around the pages it always changes the wallpaper back to this wallpaper.
Other than that one bug I don't think there are any.
You should probably make users be able to change the icons in the dock and/or change the background of the dock and the icons for the app shortcuts in the dock.
Great app so far,
ljbaumer

Same bug here. Felt a little laggy compared to my current launcher (ZEAM).
Will keep on the device and continue to test as I like the idea of the cube transition animation.

Uninstalled and will never reinstall
I though your app had promise right up until it changed my desktop picture, to the ugle grey textured background. I will never...NEVER reinstall this app or any other of your apps. If you can not prevent it from doing something basic like that, you should not be developing Android apps.

Seriously? You are right! Changing the background is a real hard task and unforgivable! I mean, you paid a lot for this app! Wow!

[Q] What are everyday benefits to 4.4?

Don't want to brick my phone like everyone else, but really want 4.4
What are some everyday changes that are actually improved? I know the Changelog, but what have YOU noticed and said "hey, thats a pretty cool improvement"?
Thanks

ive noticed a stronger LTE connection.. Touchless Control is more responsive in louder environments. I like being able to switch launchers with ease.. I go from the stock moto launcher to kit kat to nova so easily to show customers (i work for a Verizon Indirect retailer)

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the update.

- The status bar transparency (only enabled by default on the lockscreen, though Nova supports it as well) is kinda cool, but it also looks kinda dumb since Verizon made Motorola keep the icons blue istead of white for some reason.
- On the bright side, I can now see the battery percentage inside the icon at all times since it's white-on-blue instead of white-on-white like on Nexus devices.
- I like how it now displays full-screen album art on the lockscreen while music is playing (though now I'll have to put some time into higher-res artwork)
- Being able to select my launcher directly from the system settings is pretty convenient.
- The drag-to-focus update for the camera is a pretty cool.
- I enabled ART but honestly didn't notice too much a difference, and had to revert back to Dalvik due to WhatsApp being incompatible with ART.
(Minor) downsides:
- The battery icon is no longer aligned with the signal bars
- The notification icons are still blue
- No KitKat dialer (yet?)
- No camera icon with on the lockscreen

never knew this was around. Thank you so much! You have helped make my device a better device tonight! A christmas present from XDA! woohoo!!

Just a reply, after you enable battery percentage, you can remove the app and the change stays. Seems like all Android devices 4.4 can do the percent naively, this just toggles this setting.
Wonder what other hidden settings are in KitKat.

One plus is that I lost root lol. I need it as everybody else!

I'm a Fitbit user and take a lot of pictures. For me, the update (Fitbit support and touch-to-focus) obviously makes an everyday difference.
I use MX Player while I exercise, almost every day. Immersive mode with it is nice. More apps will have to adopt this before it becomes something I really care about. The thing where the lockscreen has music art is more of a noticeable design upgrade. Together, the immersive thing, lockscreen art, and transparent notification (I actually hide mine, though) make for the beginnings of a feeling of a polished and cool UX.
The thing to do would be to get two phones next to each other, one with the update and one without, and see if the updated one really is snappier (including task switching).
EDIT - Totally forgot: The wireless charging sound respecting my volume setting as well as the volume coming back on in the morning after Assist finishes sleep mode are huge. SO glad to have those issues resolved.

Yeah, so after a ton of fear of making the move to 4.4 Completely worth it.
When it started booting back up and rooted still (YAY) 4.4 is amazing.
Gravitybox + Xtheme (nexus 5 theme), you really can't tell the difference.
Just cant wait for Xposed to support ART. every reboot switches back to Dalvik

Another downside to 4.4 if not rooted is it removes native USB OTG. Menova USB drive no longer works without 3rd party software. Kinda pissed about this one.

ART is the best thing, EVER.
Yes Xposed is no longer available to me (until the dev can make it work)
But WOW, its like my maxx just got the latest and greatest processor and a ton more ram. Performance is nutsssssss
Apps switch incredibly fast, and my battery life is even better now.
I'm gonna run benchmarks to compare

[CONCEPT] Scrolling Side Launcher - another multitasking concept for Android

Hello xda-community,
I NEVER RECOGNISED THIS, BUT OF COURSE THE TITLE SHOULD BE "SCROLLING SIDE LAUNCHER", NOT "SCOLLING".
first, I wasn't sure where to post this, so I chose the general section. If a mod thinks there is a better place for this, please move the topic =)
Now, what do I imagine under "Scrolling Side Launcher"?
There are many approaches to achieve multitask on mobile devices, most famous ones are Samsungs Multiwindow/Pen Window, LGs Qslite/SlideAside/Splitview, Paranoid Androids Halo and last but not least the stunning xposed module by Android developer @zst123, XHalofloatingwindows.
However, none of these seems to be very useful when you are on a smartphone, on a tablet with a wide screen they can be useful.
On smartphones, its always a switch between this window and that window, moving another window to the front, maximising, minimising, closing, reopening and so on.
So, I thought about a way how to avoid most of these complications and perhaps even make multitask feeling a little bit more smooth and natural.
But, how could you achieve a fluent experience when you have several apps on screen? I thought about the Android notification bar, where you can pinch notifications to enlarge them or to minimise them. And this was how I had the idea for this concept:
I used Samsung Touchwiz (most of you hate it, I know) as a base:
1. A new icon on the homescreen (replacing the MyMagazine icon and app, because who in the world really needs that one?), so from the homescreen you just need to swipe to the right to enter SSL:
2. A new icon in the recent apps menu (this would either need a new apk, an xposed module (?) or the whole thing be part of an own rom with this one, you can get into SSL from every app:
3. Swipe an app from the recent menu to the left to add it to SSL:
4. Next image shows SSL without any app added, you can add any app by tapping the "+" symbol:
5. If you add an app, it's displayed in fullscreen, but you can pinch (tap with the fingers on the borders) it to minimise it to any size until it switches to minimised view...:
6. ...and of course the other way round:
7. If you have more apps pinched out, you can scroll thru the apps. The "active" app (the one you interacted with last) is highlighted with white borders:
8. When you scroll up, the titlebar hides itself, when you scroll down, it appears again:
9. In the menu, you can choose between different options; in the settings you can set different layout options.
10. Swipe again to the right to open the sidebar, in which you can see all apps added to SSL. Active apps have a thumbnail of the current content. In the Sidebar you can change the apps order or close an app (swipe away)
or even more like in slim recents:
Edit: important to mention is that of course the app size would scale down, otherwise it would look as awkward as in my pics (just made them with paint.net) and interaction would be bad.
That's it for the moment, I'll maybe add/change some aspects. So, what do you think?

Just edited two of the concept to be a bit more like material design. How do you like?

The concept is nice, looking forward to try it

Subscribed anyway cause it's a really nice idea!
Also, it looks a bit like slim recents, but you can actually interact with the apps (like xhalo), rather than just see a thumbnail of it.

Yep, I took this sidebar concept from slim recents
And I like that you can minimse the thumbnails in slim recents. That's useful
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

The sidebar looks like Fancy Switcher:
By the way, you asked for a theme like this one (latest touchwizz) back in the early development of Fancy Switcher, right :laugh:?

Yes, I am a fan of touchwiz.
The sidebar is a concept you find in many apps (slim recents, fancy switcher, switchr)
It's a popular feature since its easy to handle.
First, I thought to design it like you can do all this directly in the launcher (swipe apps away, change positioning) but there would be two major problems with that: First, it would interfere with the normal gestures of the app, and second there would be a problem of space when you want to switch app position because you cannot see so much apps on the screen at the same time like in a sidebar. This would be against the concept of simple handling I want to achieve.

I love this idea
I was considering yesterday of making an Xposed mod to put app icons in the recents panel, then having a drawer to access all apps
Your idea is much better but also much harder to make
I think I'll make my one then add features from your one over time
Just to clarify, in your concept, does recents panel become the home screen?

Samsung's New Notification/Lockscreen App

Hey all.. I don't think I've seen a post about this so I thought I'd be the first to give you all a heads-up on Samsung's new lock app called Good Lock. It's a fairly new app and I'm sure they'll make improvements. It pretty much changes your lockscreen, notifications tray, and recent tabs. Let me know what you think of the app.
**Apparently some rooted users are having various problems (constant reboot and randomly uninstalls itself), so keep that in mind...
You can download this in the Galaxy App store
Here are some screenshots

Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

I downloaded this today, and so far I like it! I wasn't sure at first, but the more that I use it, the more I enjoy it.
I like the new notifications menu. Looks a lot like stock Android. Wish u could use a custom lockscreen wallpaper, but besides that, it's pretty cool! I'm surprised that Samsung created something like this.
To answer your question, I'm pretty sure that those icons are from a previous theme. I haven't found any icon customization with this app

I tried the app, but it uninstalled itself after a bit playing around with it. It looked better than the stock lock screen and notification area (although I don't like the colours) and I'd like to keep the app. Is there a way to prevent that the app is automatically uninstalled?

In Nova Launcher pulling notification bar down is not flawless if you use gesture...

Just a warning that it doesn't work with rooted devices. I made the mistake of installing it on my rooted S7 and it caused constant reboots.

I've also uninstalled in for ithe time being because it didn't work with my Samsung led case. it kept asking for location. I've never had the uninstall problem or reboot problem. you can change the lockscreen by going to Samsung settings. I really hope they polish the app a bit more.
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

So far, I'm liking Good Lock. just a couple weird things. Looks like you no longer can customize the quicksettings tiles, and the recent apps switcher is much better, but if you use the button to bring it up and dismiss it (also using the button) then it goes to the Home App instead of the app I was in.

Are you rooted? If not, that explains why the reboot issue would never have happen for you.

Downloading now.

I tried it and uninstalled within minutes. The recent apps is horrible - separate chrome tabs are now nameless icons making it useless to find the tab you wanted, and I like having a preview of the open apps. Also, as mentioned, the MM notification draw pulldown bug in Nova is present, which drives me insane. And no lockscreen wallpaper choices, no thanks. The only reason I'd want to use it is the more stock android look, and that you can finally double tap a notification on the lockscreen to open it, which should be a thing on the current lockscreen anyway.

Use the whitelist app posted in this forum. It's on Google Play.
I have no idea what the Essential app did other than whitelist Nova.

It didn't seem to do anything for me. I turned off whitelisting from the app and Nova reverted to old behavior. Maybe it's just whitelisting and if you already had that setup it doesn't do anything else.

Can you try removing the notification bar in Settings - Look & feel and see if Nova still fills up the screen? When I remove the notification bar Nova won't fill up the screen.

I removed the notification bar and opened several items. The notification bar would appear and then disappear. In took a screenshot of the camera showing no notification bar.
I see in the upper-right corner the noise level, WiFi, network, and clock. No notifications though.

I removed the notification bar and opened several items. The notification bar would appear and then disappear. In took a screenshot of the camera showing no notification bar.
I see in the upper-right corner the noise level, WiFi, network, and clock. No notifications though.
Hope this helps,

Thanks for this. With the notification bar removed, can you post a screenshot of your homescreen? That's were the notification bar should be hidden. I'm used to have it hidden so I hope this will work for me also.

The image does not cover the status bar area. I see what you mean. Hmm, interesting

Thanks for taking the time to show me, much appreciated.
Yeah, interesting indeed. I hope this will be fixed in a future update.

I already had the whitelist editor installed and Nova was selected. Even after the update, when I deselect nova on the whitelist editor, it's no longer full scene. Not sure if the whitelist editor overrides the company's update... either way I rather use the whitelist editor than wait on Essential to update their whitelist. Lol

Seeing the same thing on mine. Luckily the whitelist editor works so well it's not really an issue.
