[APP][2.3.3+] Devbro Appdrawer 1.3.280

Introducing Devbro Appdrawer by me(Devbro)
What is it?
This is a appdrawer replacement. In the normal appdrawers that exists right now, you can only organize your apps in generic ways(alphabetically, more recently used,...) or in folders that make accessing your apps one step further to reach. No more worries. Devbro Appdrawer now fixes this problem. You can organize your apps in folders and swipe to access them. It can be easily replaced with all general appdrawers, just replace the shortcut in go launcher, ADW launcher and etc. Or you can create a shortcut to it for daily use.
What else can it do?
You can organize your folders in whatever customized order you like. It is also possible to uninstall or view each app's info just by long clicking on the icon.
What is the cost?
It is free. No catches of any kind.
What are the permissions for?
I am looking to see how my app will be used by other people. So There is a small code that send me a list of your folders and how you organized them. There is also a list of how you ran your programs.
All data that are being sent are generated from within the app. nothing else is sent. If you do not like the idea you can simply disable it from the settings menu. If you like to do this manually, there is also an option for it in the settings.
sdcard access is needed for backup and restore
Do you like my app?
If the answer is yes, then just use it and tell your friends about it. You can also give it 5stars in the market.
Do you have a suggestion/Did you find a bug?
Just post it here and I will look into it. Thanks in advance.
Do you want to help?
As per suggested, I need a new icon. If you have seen one that I can use post a link here please.
Which feature that you like to see next?
1. dark theme, theming options - done
2. customizable icons
3. new app folder

I am strongly considering this. It may take me a while as most of the code that I am using are not part of GB. Fear not I shall find a way to do this.

would it be too much to ask for a direct download link? I don't have wifi access and can only download from download sites :s

I am glad to hear I haven't done any major testing on 4.2 yet. Are there any problems?

Good idea! It works fine in my Galaxy s3 with mihome launcher. My feedback is this:
1) app icon should be more like a generic launcher icon. Current icon isn't representative of what most people are used to looking for an app drawer.
2) hide the title bar so it feels more like a native app drawer. Maybe even give the option of a transparent background.
3) default black theme looked ugly because the folder label had a white background. How about making the folder label background transparent and underlining the name instead?

I am seriously considering all your good advices. I am not a graphic designer, it takes longer to come up with more effective graphical designs. Creating icons are not easy it may take me a little longer to create or find one.

By shortcuts I meant to put it on your screen as a widget.
The goal of this app is to improve the speed that you find and launch your apps. So you spend less time finding them.

(PSA) Samsung's "Good Lock" gives you stock-like statusbar (and more)

The app is available on the Galaxy App's app market and works on Samsung's touchwiz android 6.0 (some say you can side load the apk on touchwiz android version 5.1 and it will still work; app won't appear on the galaxy store unless you are on android 6.0 though)
It, of course being by samsung, DOES NOT require root and can be uninstalled if you don't like it.
Just look up "Good Lock" on the samsung app store (Galaxy Apps); it will say "update" instead of download since it's an update to the System UI, and your phone should reboot.
Confirmed working on tdunham's deodexed MM rom. Should work without any issues on stock none-rooted.
Here's a video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ0P1S9jom0
(pokedex animations not included )

Just tried it. Tried it for a few minutes. And uninstalled it. Too many bright colors for my taste.

Colors can be changed by going into the Good Lock settings, then selecting the routines menu and editing default. Darker colors are on the left while lighter is on the right. If only the recents menu could be changed so easily.
Also the bokeh is ****. Not only does it cause lag upon opening the drawer, but it looks incredibly ugly. It's nowhere near as well implemented as iOS and even if it was, it wouldn't fit with material design.

I was happy once I figured out I could change the color from the butt ugly purple they started me on. Now I'm back closer to the stock MM color.
Your second point, are you talking about the app drawer on the lock screen? I didn't personally like that. You can disable it, though. If you go into routine just like changing the color and at the last setting page it has a little screen with the sections for clock, notifications, and app drawer. Uncheck the app drawer and it is gone.

I was referring to the notification drawer. Though I also dislike the other areas that Samsung has shoved bokeh (blur) into, like the power menu.

Ohh OK, I understand now. I don't mind the blur too much and haven't noticed any lag from it yet. Overall, I think it is an improvement on TW...even with the crappy recents.

I like the app but even though it allows you to NOT use location services it brings up this every time no mater how i configue it the only other thing i dont likevis it removes the "cards" fron your recent apps and turns it into a list.

I am having a problem with this app. I have started a thread in the Q/A here. Thanks for any help in advance.

A waste. Uninstalled it.
I just want the lockscreen (with my own bg) and i want to keep my theme the way it is. We should be able to pick and choose what we want to enable and disable.

You can set your own lockscreen background with Good Lock. After you install Good Lock it will change but if you go and set your lockscreen background again, it will stick.

Is it just me or while using good lock, and when you go into the recent apps and you hit clear all it doesn't clear all and it just clears apps that are visible in the recent apps menu?

Am I missing how to change the background of notification drop down color. I am trying set it dark ?
Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Any idea why it doesn't appear in the samsung store on MM 6.0.1 ? Living in Bulgaria, just stating in case that's why.

Good Lock App Alternative TW UI 6.0.1

This thread has already been started in the general section but this seemed like a more appropriate place for it.
Samsung released an alternative UI for Touchwiz 6.0.1 that is available on the Galaxy Store for the Galaxy S7. I, however, have been using this for some time now on the N910P.
All you have to do is download the APK and install as normal. Your device will say that it needs to reboot. Once rebooted the new UI will be in place.
For any modifications merely swipe the notification bar down twice and you will see a second settings button. From there you can modify the theme and lockscreen or uninstall.
This new UI seems to change the lockscreen, recent menu and the notification pull down. See screenshots below.
Note: To set lockscreen picture, do so from your normal settings menu.
Note: Fingerprint lock on the lockscreen has not been working but I have not tested it on the update.

Another Note: I did not create this, I merely downloaded, installed and then shared with you guys. I believe Samsung created it...
Here are some screenshots of the UI

Thanks , this app seems quite good, is there any way to check stats on the old task manager and see the free memory ? using this app only shows the recent apps list
P.S. it would be better if you posted smaller screenshots or links to them..

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing but when I tried it was taking too much time so I just went with what was easiest lol.
I just reverted to stock and updated OTA to PD1 and rooted. Once I get everything set up I will post some performance stats with and without Good Lock. Thanks for the suggestion.
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

i don't find it heavy on resources at all, oh yea, just make sure you set unlock effect to None. i find it a refreshed welcome change for the good, i was merely asking how to check task manager cause after my optimisation i had about 1.4gb ram in use on boot, wanted to check what was it after good lock installed.

Gotcha, I am playing around with replacing the system UI (launcher not MM UI) with Good Lock to see if it will have a positive affect of performance

Good lock got updated today, when using the play store version, trying the "recents" menu crashed good locks and causes it to be uninstalled. Can you upload the new version from the galaxy store because that seems to be working?

Here is a video on the sprint version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLU7KW0E2m0 and it doesn't work for you because of the finger print unlock. That breaks it on the note 4 !

So why the error message said that it's not compatible with my device.
And after I installed it and reboot my device I couldn't see any icons, also when I tried to go to settings the screen went black.
I think not only fingerprint lock issue, also I am using nova launcher not TouchWiz.
So If any developer could port this app it will be better.
There are some users also faced the same issues that I faced.

The description implies any app may be able to use full screen. What is required to get other apps to use full screen?

Nevermind I found it searching essential products on play store. Update fixed Nova launcher. I had factory reset today so whitelist app and ADB fix was erased.

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.

I installed the v 5.5. beta 2, but won't work for me, I still have to use the white list hack. Strange huh?
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.
Thanks.

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.

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.

[Tutorial][8.0+] How to Install Good Lock 2018

Hi
If you're a XDA's regular visitor, you have already known that Samsung released GOOD LOCK app again and this time for OREO only. If not, head over to the XDA feature portal here:
Samsung is bringing back Good Lock, the UI customization app
​https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-bringing-back-good-lock/As it is stated in post this release is region specific only. Luckily I've figured out a way by which every Oreo Samsung user can install and use this to modify some system UI tweaks. So let's start.
Download the .zip file from here, extract it and install all apps one by one. Some apps(edge lightning etc) show icons on launcher. Open them and go through them you'll learn how to use them to tweaks SystemUI.
For apps that don't show icons, Download and install Activity Manager app from Play Store.
Now Launch it and search for the apps you installed along with good lock like quickstar, lockstar task changer etc
Upon finding app, just lauch 1st activity and you'll be brought right to that app's setting page.
Modify it as you like and you're done.

Thanks for a great contribution.

Thanks for the files works great!

Hey guys, does somebody know why my clock disappears on lockscreen whenever I use Lockstar? I'm on RenovateICE and every apk is working fine except Lockstar that for some reasons doesn't want to make the clock appear. I tried to check on the RICE settings if there was anything to hide etc but everything is disabled/stock. Any advice?

I can confirm it's the dpi. Reverting it back to 360 makes Lockstar work again.
Sad, won't keep my phone at a crap dpi just for a lockscreen!
