Introducing Kakudo Lite an app for faster app switching and multitasking.
WHAT IT DOES:
Kakudo allows users to switch between apps faster by just swiping. Swiping from the left or right sides of their devices opens the most recent open apps. If you want to copy text from a website to paste in a document, Kakudo makes it easier and faster to switch back and forth between your apps. Swiping up from the bottom and adding your most used apps to the Favorite Apps Drawer allows you to open your favorite apps without having to navigate back to the homescreen to do so. Adding toggles to the Favorite Apps Drawer allows you to turn them on without having to leave the app your currently in or to just check to see if the toggle is on/off since Kakudo's toggles show whether they are on/off.
Kakudo is also ergonomically designed to make it easier to use on larger screens. It's easier for your thumb to reach down when holding your device in the middle instead of up.
FEATURES:
- Swipe from the left or right to cycle through recent apps
- Swipe from the bottom to open your Favorite Apps Drawer
- Add your most used apps/toggles to the Favorite Apps Drawer (Limited to 7)
- Choose to start on boot
- Toggles indicate whether they are on/off
- Drag and Drop to reorder/remove apps and toggles from the Favorite Apps Drawer (Android Honeycomb and Above)
- True Swipe Detection
- Multi-Touch Mode
- Long Swipe or 2 (3 in Multi-Touch Mode) finger Swipe for All Recent Apps Window
- Kill Background Processes from the All Recent Apps Window
- Favorite Apps Drawer ergonomically design for easier use
- Minimal RAM/CPU footprint and closes fully when turned off
- Change sensitivity and size of swipe detection areas
- Adjust Icon size to best suit your preferences
-Languages Supported:
English, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Hungarian, Chinese, Portuguese, Polish, Romanian
UPGRADE TO PRO AND UNLOCK:
- Unlimited apps/toggles on Favorite Apps Drawer
- Favorite Apps Drawer on the Right Side
- One-Side Mode
- Change gravity location of side swipe detection areas
- Customize Favorite Apps Drawer Color and Opacity
-Choose from 8 Color Schemes or Create your Own
- Disable Notification Icon
- Additional features to come...
ADDITIONAL INFO:
- Apps may not launch when at the home screen, this is not a problem with Kakudo it is a bug with the Android system
- GPS toggle may not work on all devices (Use GPS Settings instead)
- A Persistent Notification is required by Android to allow Kakudo to stay open
- Killing App Background Processes removes them to free up memory and does NOT close them
- If you can help translate Kakudo to your language please go to https://applokaligo.appspot.com/app/#/projects/1775020

Could you make it vibrate when the app detects my swiping? At the moment I can't tell if the app is lagging or it's not detecting my swipes.
Edit: Early review, I'm mostly just using this app to "return" to my previous app after I respond to a message. It's very nice for that feature. I find the app drawer really hard to use because I have a navigation bar there.

Yes this will be coming in a future update. I only have tablets so it was hard for me to test this feature, but Google has just released an update to Google play that allows developers to upload betas and I have a few people who said they would help test features for me

I understand the difficulty with this but the app drawer swipe detection is just above the nav bar and it shouldn't interfere with the nav bar. It may take a little practice to not hit the nav buttons. Try going to the settings and testing the sensitivity to help with this. I may also include the ability to move the swipe bar so you can place it on any edge.
Thanks for the feedback

Thank you all for your willingness to help me test future updates. I am currently just learning how the new beta/alpha system works on the Play Developers Console, and as soon as I'm done I'll let everyone know how to become a beta tester for my app.
Again thanks for all the support and help.
Quite a useful app but impossible to fully use with pie controls. If only i was using the standard navbar.
EDIT
Turns out i was mistaken. All i needed to do was change my trigger size. Sorry if i gave anybody false impressions!
I ll try it, curiosity is my name..

OK I just finished setting up the beta testing and the beta is now available to download.
To become a beta tester you need to be apart of this Google Group: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?fromgroups#!forum/kakudo-testers
After asking to join I will have to confirm you as a member which I will try to do as quickly as I can. Once your a member of the group you will see a topic that says Beta Link in the group. Go into that and click the link to get the beta version of the app.
As a beta tester you will have full access to Kakudo and I ask that you help improve my app. To do this you will have to participate in the group letting me know how the app is working. If at anytime someone isn't giving feedback about the app updates, I will email them asking if they still want to be a tester. If I don't receive a response I will remove you from the group and you will lose access to the beta version.
Anyone interested just go to the group link and ask for permission to join the group.
Thanks in advance for everyone willing to help.

Pretty lame guys. I'm willing to help out, test, and provide feedback/logs/etc., but only giving testers access to the lite version is kinda silly imo for two reasons: (1) the only incentive a tester has is pure altruism and early access to new lite features, as such most rational humans will opt to stick with stable lite releases (i.e. you guys get useful information, but what do we get?); and (2) without access to beta pro versions many features will be untested.
I signed up to your group under the screen name "meeeee" feel free to remove me, unless you're gunna reconsider your lite tester policy.

It is the FULL PRO VERSION, as I clearly state multiple times. The code for the 2 apps is exactly the same. There are 2 lines of code that changes between them disabling certain features in the Lite version and in the beta version I use the same code as the pro version. The only cosmetic difference is it still says Kakudo lite which I was going to change in the next beta update.
Clearly you didn't download the app or read the descriptions of the lite and pro version.
As I understand it if I did the beta testing under the pro version it would still require users to pay. This is a brand new feature to the developer console and every developer is still learning how best to use it.
If you still want to be a tester hopefully this clears up any misconception you may of had. If I don't hear from you by tomorrow afternoon I will remove you from the group as per your request.

Pretty slick app, unfortunately I found a way to crash the app on demand, which kind of sucks. I sent logs and detailed information to the developer, hopefully helping to make this app even better.
Hope to give it a shot soon

Great app all it needs is some customization to the task bar
enable/disable app dividers
enable/disable glossy and or gradient overlay (so it wont make things look to flat)
Transparency
Full RGB color
This could turn into its own light weight launcher with benifits of having the fetures it has now. All it needs is a very simple ipadish homescreen (the light weight part is there is no app/widget joor) and then throw in a feture to open preview windows of all apps open and launcher for easy tasking between 2 or more apps.
Just throwing out ideas this could be another project

My bad, I apologize and feel like a bit of an ass. Yeah I did not even try to dl it initially, but I did read the description which is the same as the normal one for the lite version in the playstore and that would lead one to believe it is not a full version. But at any rate I did go back and try to dl the beta, but unfortunately playstore said it is not compatible with my device. Thus I cannot test it and you can remove me to make room for others. Sorry again, I won't wast any more of your time, and gl it seems like a promising app that could out perform its competition.

Thanks for the log and image. I have already fixed the empty app from appearing (I had the code to save part of the remove on top of the code to remove). I am working on moving the settings into an activity instead of a window so hopefully that will fix that problem. The one where I think your getting it to crash on demand (Clicking the app multiple times), however is a bit trickier and has to do with the StandOut library focus listener. I can't seem to find what is causing it to crash.

Thanks for the ideas. There is a slight gradient on the colors that are included with the app (perhaps I should mess around with this some more to make it look better). In the Pro version you can set the fav app drawer to any color and any opacity that you want (although if you choose this there isn't a gradient).
Bought the full version, try swiping up from bottom for app drawer and it force closes the whole entire app altogether. I'll continue testing though.

Upon the time a long ago
I had iPhone - of number four
A great device - you might have said,
But only anger mine was great.
Some toggles, widget, something? Where?
No, no, my boy, I'll be sincere
You don't need those, my boy, nowhere.
But then one thing suprised my mind
The music controls - little diamond!
And shortly after I've been hit
With the idea in forehead
"I'll make those controls, but not here.
Android phone - it will be great!"
So then Eclipse IDE I took
To look like real Java cook.
And then I coded very hard
And then this story calmly start...
CURRENT VERSION: 3.1
You've definetely seen Control Center apps in Google Play. There is no doubt they are handy. Control your music, toggle some Wi-Fi like a boss...and that's from anywhere! Isn't it great?
"YAWN BUT I HAVE STATUSBAR".
Great, my friend, really great answer! But...Statusbar is:
a) On top of your phone, which can be a real pain in the afingers, if you have some modern phone with gargantuan 5inch display.
b) It can be unavailable in some apps.
c) Not every manufacturer puts some neat controls in your statusbar. And not all people love to see notification toggles as a separate notification.
So, if one of those three reasons are about you, then you have to try one of those Control Centers. But there is another problem.
THEY ARE ALL TRYING TO MIMICK iOS!
I mean, seriously?
I've bought my Android Phone because that's ANDROID! I don't want to have app that copies iOS interface!
So...here is where I step in. Or, more correctly, where my app steps in.
Quick Control Panel. It has the same idea as all of those Control Centers, but it's a different story.
I've designed it to be Android way. What does it mean?
Well...here is "what does it mean".
-It's Holo style.
-It's customizability.
-It means everything is working correctly.
What about customizability?
Well...you don't want to see music controls, but you want to see toggles? Fine, just disable music controls.
You want the opposite? Just do it, open the settings and change it.
You want different animation? Go on, select one that's suitable for you.
You want to swipe left to open app? Come on, you can do it.
You want to have your dock with flashy semi-transparent colors? Go on, you can choose your favourite color for everything.
You want to reorder your toggles? That's a piece of cake.
Want to have a brutal rectangle around your toggle icons, or want a clean icon without a border? Do it!
You want custom shortcuts icons? Just go and pick up photo of yourself for your favourite awesome app, because you are using this app, and all the people who use this app are awesome!
What about correct work?
Well, it's easy. If you see something on the screen - then it works.
Music controls? They work, they even show you your music artist and song title! That's because it acts the same as default Android lockscreen.
Want to toggle your Wi-Fi, data, sound mode? Do it!
Want to change brightness? Do it!
And about "control from everywhere". You can swipe to start this app, or you can just call it the same way you call Google Now. This is incredibly convenient when you're playing your favourite game with player on, and your the least favourite song kicks in(we all have the song which we don't really like but somehow keep them in our playlist). What do you do? Close your game, which will most likely result in lost progress? NO! You just open Quick Control Panel like a boss, and switch the song!
So, what are you waiting for? Ah, screenshots! Of course! Here are some:

Bored of the default lock screen on Android devices, and specifically the one on your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge? Samsung thinks you could do with a more powerful lock screen and has launched an app called Good Lock on the Galaxy Apps store. Supported on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, Good Lock puts a ton of functionality right on your lock screen and notifications area.
From being able to keep some notifications in the notification shade for as long as you want to putting widgets on the lock screen for quick access, Good Lock offers a lot of features. It even replaces the notification shade with an interface straight from stock Android – a sign maybe that TouchWiz will one day be closer to Google’s version of Android (the removal of Samsung’s default music player from the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge is a big example of that possibility).
In fact, if Samsung does remove the app drawer from future iterations of TouchWiz, putting widgets and other advanced functionality on the lock screen would make sense, though whether Good Lock is truly useful in its current state depends on how keen you are on playing around with such customization. Good Lock is only available in the US for now, but we have the APK available for download for anyone who wants to try it out. There’s quite a lot inside Good Lock, and we’re currently testing it out for a full review.
Grab Good Lock from the Galaxy Apps store if you’re in the US or from the link below. In case you want to uninstall the app, you will have to head into its settings and hit the uninstall button as Good Lock replaces the entire lock screen and notification systems and can’t be removed like a regular app.
Download Good Lock APK

Wonder what Samsung is up to... this smells iOS blur and look at all these icons in the "preview" images, completely redesigned. Is it a glimpse of the new TouchWiz perhaps? Time will tell
This is a totally unexpected move and it has some quirks but gets me excited for the direction Samsung is going. So happy
Mike installed just fine and rebooted. It worked for some time, but then it needed to reboot again and it was uninstalled. Can this be because I'm not in the US?
I'm using this now. There are things I like and things I don't, and things that I don't find useful at all. But the notification handling is a major improvement over current Marshmallow (Touchwiz or otherwize).
One major improvement, for me: I have a Tasker profile for home that, under Lollipop, turns off my lockscreen completely when I'm at home. Just push the power button or home button and I go directly to my home screen. No fingerprint, no pin, no swipe. Real handy. But it stopped working on the Edge with Marshmallow.
With Good Lock, the profile works correctly again!
Nice move from Samsung. I installed it and customized, I moved all the shortcuts from the LS and added a Weather Timeline Widget to quickly check the weather. The notification bar looks more like stock Android but I don't like the recent apps at all. I really like to take a quick glance on what showed on apps I recently used.
Is there a way to change that purple notification pull down to a different color?

Yes. Go to the Routines settings and then Default and change.
a short video showcasing it's features.
Any way this can be ported down to Lollipop?
Is there a way to remove widgets, once added to the hidden widget area?
It keeps telling me to turn on Location Services. Does anyone know how to disable that annoying pop-up?
Anybody notice Multitasking has been changed also. Wow what a change. I do prefer a preview of my aps
I liked it, but it's too early days for me to use as daily driver. It kept resetting the settings so was useless. I'm very interested to see where this goes though...
EDIT: nevermind... I had the default plus other routines thing messed up. Back in business.
Only thing I don't like now is the completely lack of color consistency going on between my Touchwiz theme and this Lockscreen stuff.
I've installed this on my S7 edge this morning and I'm pretty surprised that it changes the UI quite a bit, some of it I like and some I don't, there's still plenty of room for development but I think I will stick with it for a few days for now.
My mine gripe is the colour scheme is very inconsistent, I have changed the base colour but the shade seems off...
It is a mess. A nasty mess that should be killed with fire.
It would be pretty great if the location issues could be settled. The creating routine thing is a bit silly, but I'm loving the AOSP look and what not

Plusses and minuses, positives and negatives.....
I LOVE the notification handling. So superior to everything else it's not even close. I'd pay plenty for an app that brought these capabilities to my phone.
The fingerprint scanner is WAY faster now. Essentially instantaneous.
I hate the loss of the regular Samsung settings toggles and the ability to customize the toggles that are shown. Standard Android is a giant step backwards here. Fewer toggles, and no choice as to what ones are shown: how can anyone consider that an improvement? Only Googlely fan-boys who think any that comes out of Google is automatically superior.
I've come to like the recent apps screen, although the animation is a bit much. With "stock" Android, you can only fully see the one card at a time, and after a few days the stack of cards is so long it's a nightmare to find anything. It's actually easier to recognize an app icon than the glimpse of a screenshot as you scroll through cards, and I can find what I'm looking for faster with this approach than with cards..
On screen widgets are, yet again, stupidly implemented. Let me put a widget ON THE LOCK SCREEN, not on a hidden screen that I need to scroll to. With a fingerprint scanner it's easier to unlock the phone than to display a hidden lock screen. I'm not using this option at all. (Widget Locker got this right 4 or 5 years ago, but sadly doesn't seem to work on Marshmallow. Why can't Google and Samsung figure this out?)
On screen apps aren't quite as useless. You can swipe on an icon, then use the fingerprint scanner to open it, but it's at least as easy, and probably faster, to just use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone. And I'm not sure why a tap on the icon forces you to use a pin, while a swipe lets you use the scanner. Why not default to the scanner on a tap, too? It would be nice if you could open these apps without unlocking the phone, but be locked out of anything BUT that app (sort of like pinning). Again, Widget Locker got this right.
In spite of what some seem to think, the color scheme can be modified, and made pretty neutral and reasonable in settings. I'd like more granular control, but what's there is tolerable. You can also set your own lockscreen wallpaper.
On balance, I like it. It's clearly a work in progress, but notification handling alone is worth it.
Unfortunately, I've had to uninstall it. It's too buggy to be my daily driver. The home button doesn't always work, sometimes requiring two taps, occasionally not working at all. Sometimes tapping on a notification doesn't do anything at all. But when it works, the notification capabilities are brilliant, Brilliant, I say! I'm already missing it.
Samsung Rep^
Hey guys i got a bug since it has uninstalled by itself... Now my lockscreen is all black. I can't even see the shortcuts, but if i go to the settings the phone says that i got a wallpaper already set. Is there anyone with the same bug?
Sorry for my bad english

What is "Navbar Weather"?
It's weather app that shows forecast in unique way - on navigation bar via eg. chart. So to use it you obviously have to have navigation bar in your smartphone.
How does it work?
I've been using Huawei Mate 9 for over a year now. It always pissed me off that I had to put a widget on the home screen to check the weather forecast. But hey, why not use navigation bar for the weather forecast? So I decided to develop some small app for my Mate 9, that can show weather chart for next 5 days (in 3 hours intervals) on Navbar. It's still in beta stage (please report me abut any bugs or new ideas in this thread before you rate it). It works pretty good for me, but for sure I know that there is a lot work to do.
So far Navbar Weather was tested only on my Mate 9, but it should work also on any other smartphone with Navigation Bar. It it also confirmed that app works on: Huawei Honor V10, Moto X4 (May 2018 Android 8.1), Samsung Galaxy devices with navigation bar.
Installation
Google Play link: Navbar Weather - forecast at your Navigation Bar

This is pretty slick!!
Confirmed working on Moto X4 on May 2018 Android 8.1.
2 questions
1) Nova doesn't seem to allow the overlay when on home screen/app drawer, any way to allow that?
2) Each time i go in the app the Navbar Weather switch is off and can't turn it on unless i set location even though it's already being displayed.

Thank you!
1) I need to investigate that, right now I'm on EMUI, never tested it with Nova. Let me investigate that, I'll try to answer you asap.
2) Just go to settings and select desired Forecast Data Types. You can select e.g. only temperature to force one graph. Also you can turn off Chart Carousel - then you can switch between charts by pressing home button

What weather provider is used in the app?

Currently for free I can use only Openweathermap.org, which can take some serious traffic.
Working fine on my Note 8.
But it closes when you get rid of the window in the task manager.

Thank you for your feedback! Now I know it works on Note 8.
Yes it closes when you get rit of the window in the task manager because some users complained they're can't close it normally. If you wish to let it run try to lock app with lock symbol at the task manager. Hope it helps

You are welcome.
Strange feedback you had because this kind of apps are meant to be left running (plus, you have a toggle on the main screen) ; like a widget you want it to be running and refresh informations even it you close the app, or else you just go to the internet for one time information about the weather.
For what I understood of the behaviour of android and its task manager now, it's only an badly made alt+tab like app switcher, not really a manager. If I close all the windows all it does nothing but not having a window history, and apps are still running and updating in the background, leaving doze and manufacturer's auto close/optimising built-in features to deal with what apps and when they have to run and be closed.
Maybe I'm wrong and it actually does more?
I just notice it follows the windows animations (using Nova launcher), so it appear somewhat in the middle of the screen before reaching the bottom when animation of complete. I don't know of you can force it to sick at the bottom?
Thanks!

There is many more strange feedback, like - "it doesn't work on my smartphone that doesn't have navigation bar"
Apps without any background or foreground services are destroyed if you close them in task manager. Navbar Weather is running together with foreground service that is responsible for forecast at navigation bar. Right now there is couple of lines of code inside main app that tells foreground service to shut down if main app is closed/destroyed. I can change that easily, so I'll try add something to settings so you can select if you wish to run navigation bar weather forecast even if main app was closed. Thanks for pointing me out that

You mean those app opening animations available in Nova Launcher? Right now I'm using it and it seems to work normally at my smartphone. I'll try to test Nova with Navbar a little more, maybe there are some style settings that cause this.

Thanks for pointed that out, I didn't know. That would be great.
I remember that some Samsung device doesn't have a nav bar because they got sensitive buttons under the screen on the frame, but I don't know how it behave at all then.
About Nova, I thought it happened with every opening animations but i was wrong, story.
But it actually happens every time when I press the home button from the home screen to open the search bar. It goes strange when the keyboard is popping out.

Please try out new 0.8.7 version of Navbar Weather I think it works now as it should, so even when you kill application in task manager Navbar Weather won't disappear.
That's right, devices with sensitive buttons under screen are not supported, if someone enable Navbar Weather - chart just won't appear.
About Nova, it looks like could be keyboard problem.

Great to hear that
Right now I'm planning to add UV index forecast, Weather Alerts (don't know yet how to put that on navigation bar, but it's just a plan right now), Air pollution forecast and in future - more weather providers to choose from. Currently trying to fix some bugs
Thank you very much for your support, if you have some ideas how to improve Navbar Weather - just let me know
App version is now 0.8.9.9, so most of bugs were fixed. Also now you can turn on UV Index forecast, which is really helpful to protect your skin.

Thanks good idea!!There is a bug that even if I don't choose launcher,app desapears from it also..
Hi,
can you explain the bug better
You mean when selecting the apps?
If you don't choose launcher the app wont show in the launcher
The options are:
Disable: will only disable the application
Launcher: will Only add the app to the launcher
tap on the app Name: will disable it and add it to the launcher, also the application will be added to the list of apps to disable when press the disable button in the launcher
if you still think is a bug, can you please explain better
Thanks!
I mean,both by selecting launcher option or not,app doesn't appear on launcher.Maybe I didn't understand how app works!Also is this view normal?Can't i just set app to open normally and not like curtain like this?Also when i uncheck an app,then it's name disappears.(see *****ute)Thanks!!

Yes Sure, you can go to the app settings and set the "Launcher Height" to 10 and slide the transparency to 100

Yes, you are right, I have fixed the text, It' will take a couples of days to update in F-Droid
Or you can updated the APK from Here, If you installed from F-Droid you will need to uninstall it before install this one, as the signature are different

Sure, that's nice, I will add that option in the next realease!
Thanks!
Nice thank you! I'm looking forward to see this feature. The ability to reorder tabs would be nice as well.
It also could show addotional information about the apps in the selection menu, like the path for example so you know what you disable.
Updated with new features:
Option to enable All apps in a Tag
Option to disable All apps in a Tag
Option to Move a tag to the left or right
Option to Show gray Icons for disabled apps
Was recommended this app since icebox seems like it's pulled from appstore. This looks actually amazing, and hardly much out there related for similar apps. Thank you so much! I'ma try it now.
Edit:
So I do notice some things that could be improved, but thought I'd provide feedback. Regardless, I love it.
First is a screen off, to auto disable the packages. 2nd, is when the package name is too large, it removes the ability to see the toggles. 3rd, if uninstalling, the packages disabled stay disabled, even after reboot. Fortunately, it seems to detect packages that are still disabled, if reinstalled, but it's definitely a small scare initially, I think. And if could, would like an option for icon resizing.
But just thought I'd chime in. Regardless, thank you! I love it.
Hello,
Thanks for the comments, those are great ideas, I'll try to add some of those features soon
Really cool Aceventura. Thanks for this app.
I will give you my personal feedback, but I am aware it may not be aligned with your view of the app.
Anyhow, here it goes. Your app has two main funcionalities, launcher and hibernator.
The first one, launcher, is a tough one. There are hundreds of launchers around, and truth is that users are never fully pleased. Hence why there are so many. The development of this part could be quite complex too, depending on the amount of features.
The second functionality, is where your app shines (from my point of view). I would suggest to focus the app on this part, and let the launching to whichever the user launcher is.
Basically, have different hibernating condions (e.g. timeout after usage, timeout after screen off, manual), and launch via shortcut or dummy app.
Personally I think dummy app has advantages from the usage point of view because it is easier to search with the launchers and can be placed in both areas, desktop and drawer. But I am also aware that it may be slightly more complex.
In any of the cases, thanks again
Hi rodovict,
Thanks a lot for your comments!
About the "launcher" I think is been misunderstood, My Idea es not to be a launcher app, it's just a view to show the applications list in the app
I like the ideas for auto hibernate, I hope can add those options soon along other one I'm currently developing
Thanks Again!

Firstly, thank you for your work. I have been looking to replace icebox for I dont know how long but could not find any app that was capable of doing that.
I quickly ran a test. Auto disable on screen off does not seem to be working.
I'm using OnePlus 6 and on the latest stable. Once my screen turns off, the app continues to show on my regular app launcher (nova). Also, if I see the disbaler apps launcher, the app shows there with white text indicating it has not been disabled. For the autodisable I have selected 0 in the settings.
Here is some feedback which other users may also have suggested.
-Widget/Shortcut to "defrost" all apps enable all apps in click so that we can update them (playstore updates)
-Widget/Shortcut to freeze/disable all apps so that I can disable all the apps that I had selected in the disabler app.
-Fingerprint authentication to do the above activities would be great.
- Ability to create shortcuts to individual apps within the disabler to launch them. Instead of opening the the launcher of disabler and then launching them.
-A way to backup the settings and the list of apps which are disabled would be great. this would immensely help when I flash a new rom and i need to setup the disabler app on that.

Hi,
Thanks for doing the test!
I have checked here, and sometimes when you first change the value it does not trigger the auto disable on screen off
But a couple of minutes after looks to work OK
If you still having the problem, please provide your Android Version so I can check further
I will take a look to the suggestion as well and hope to add to the app soon!

I tried changing the auto disable values multiple times and even left the chnage overnight. It still does not work.
I'm running oos 10.3.4 android version 10. OnePlus 6. I'm rooted with magisk. The app has been granted root access as well.

Hello syedtahir16,
I have tried with multiple devices running Andoird 10 and seem to be working OK
Just to clarify the process, can you confirm you are doing this:
1. Select some apps to auto disable, In the apps List option you have selected (tapping n the app name) some apps to auto disable
If you tap just in the disable checker, it will disable but will not be in the auto disable list
if you tap just in the launcher checker, it will show in the app launcher but will not disable it
You have to tap in the app name to add it to the auto disable list
2. in the App settings, set the option "minutes to auto disable apps after screen off" to something different than disabled
3. go back to the main screen and enable/open any app from the auto disable list, (some app you have selected in step 1)
4.Turn off screen or wait to turn off automatically
5. Wait the amount of minutes you selected (in step 2) with the screen off
if you turn on the screen before the amount of minutes selected(in step 2), the process is cancelled until next time screen is off
6. Turn on the screen
The app should be disabled
I am attaching and APK with some logs enables for the Screen receiver function
If you confirm you are doing the process right, please install this version of the app
Run the process as described before (you can skip step 1 if you already have some apps in auto disable list)
set the minutes in option 2 to zero (0) for this test
After running the process please take a logcat and send me the file so I can check it
For capturing the logcat you can use this app, or any other you want
SysLog (Capture log files) - https://f-droid.org/app/com.tortel.syslog
Just need to select the Main log(logcat) option, not any other log is nesessary
Capture the log just after turning on the screen ( Step 6)
