[APP][1.6+] App Dialer 3.0 [update: better ordering, auto hide keyboard]

Hey, it's me again. You may be using my apps like Mario Live Wallpaper, Video Live Wallpaper, or WiimoteController. This time I come with a completly free (early) Christmas present to you guys at xda-devs and all other users of my apps!
I present to you... App Dialer
App dialer is an app launcher that can be used to find installed apps and start them very quickly. Today's Android devices have a lot of memory that users often spend on apps and games. Some users have as much as 400 applications installed on their device and navigating a list of apps or swiping between screens and screens of app icons just to find one can take a lot of time.
App Dialer can be used to quickly filter a large list of apps down to just a few or even just one item in just a few seconds.
There are a few app launching apps out there but what sets App Dialer from the rest is the way app list is filtered. Instead of using an awkward on-screen QWERTY keyboard, App Dialer comes with a built-in numeric keyboard. You can just dial out apps' names just like you would dial a spellable phone number. Button 2 represents A, B or C, button 3 represents D, E or F, and so on. Want the Browser? Dial 2769737 (spelled "browser"). Want the Gallery? Dial 4255379 (spelled "gallery"). It is that easy!
Having a numeric keyboard means having big, easy to hit buttons that can be hit quickly and accurately with only one hand. The app list updates and shrinks as you dial so there is a great chance that you will not have to dial the complete name before the app is already going to appear on the top of the list. With some practice (you might already have years of practice writing SMS messages this way) you will be able to launch any app on your device in three seconds or less, regardless of how many apps you have installed.
App Dialer highlights:
easy to use
can be started by long-pressing the search button (if your device has it)
can be started via a notification icon
starts fast, can be made even faster by turning off icons
quick dial for up to 10 favorite apps
pin selected apps to the top of the list
donation-supported, but otherwise free and ad-free!
This app is completly free. However it is donation-supported like all of my other apps. If you find it useful, please consider donating.

I've just made an update to this app. You can read all about it above. Changelog is in the second post.

Sorry about double posting, but I've just made another update. Details in the second post.

How is the importance order set? Does it keep a count of which app we choose more when we click them in app dialer? Great feature! It has really improved the speed and relevance of the result, I rarely use my app drawer thanks to this app

No, it's simpler than that. It is a combination of the alphabetical order and the position of the match (ie. the sooner the match is found in the app's name, the more important that app will be).

How can I make this the default app over the Google search box apk?. I move it to system and rename but still wants the long press to active the app.

In case it wasn't clear: it displays your 5 most recent tasks and you can tap on each to switch back to it. You can exclude unwanted ones. You can customize this bar. No ads. Free. Works on 2.1+

Installed the update. Still not working, only now it is worse than before.
It still wouldn't allow me to switch apps, it still didn't launch on phone boot up, but now the update prevented me from being able to install apps from the Amazon App Store. I'd hit the install button after the app had downloaded, but it wouldn't register the button press. I could hit the cancel button though just fine. Play Market apps installed just fine. As soon as I Force Stop Fast5, I cold install apps from Amazon just fine.

Very weird. It works perfectly on my device (SGS2) and my friends devices and all emulator devices (2.1+) and i do not get other complains... what's going on?
Have you installed custom rom or something? Do you see all 5 icons? After pressing nothing happens? Or an error?
I would understand if you'd get some errors, but if it's not booting with the device? There is no way it won't boot at normal device configuration...
Thank you for you cooperation!
Have a look...:
see it in action
I think it's isolated issue but I'll try to fix it for you if you'd like to use this app . Wain for report (if you sent it)

Works fine for me. Absolutely perfect!

its a simple task switcher. didn't see any task "manager" function in app(where we able to kill tasks). or it will be available in the future updates?

Yep it's a switcher. Will change topic name, sorry. But it works fine for you, right?

It works now on ICS too. There should be a new version active on the market within 1 hour (as always). There was one issue. Fixed.

I will test it. Great job
Edit: "error process buy" say my market
Defy > Defy+
Sorry my bad english

Error process buy? Lol... it's free. Did you try do it from the PC? Market kinda buggy thing. Thanks!

I had no problems with installation nor application so does my friends .

Updated version has been released. Should be working fine for everyone, regardless of Android version (2.1 +).
Try it

the update fixed task-clicking on ICS
- could you please add #111111 as an background color option? that's the color used by android for notification backgrounds
- when opening notification area the icons reorder after like 1-2 seconds. I guess that's because the app isn't running in bg permanently but it's still quite annoying, especially when you're just about to hit one of the icons and then it gets replaced with a adifferent one
- is it possible to have more than 5 apps? (yeah yeah, then the name wouldn't make sense anymore, but...) there's so much whitespace between the icons, it'd well fit 7 of them

Sure. No problem. Download an updated version (should appear on the market within one hour) and tell me if you'd like something more. Everyone else too . I'll see what i can do.
As for 7 icons instead of standard 5 on really large screens: could you please send me an email or post me here if you don't mind everyone looking how do it looks on your screen?
Thanks!

thanks for adding ICS color.
for large screen: just turn your phone 90° to widescreen and you can see it for yourself
any idea about the slow updating?

Check out the newest update (v 1.08). Tick a checkbox in preferences, restart an app and see if that fits your needs . As for more than 5 icons - i'll figure it out if you want to
Cheers!

seems good so far. will report back after some more usetime when it's got a bit more to do than show low-memory-apps what does the checkbox do? start a persistant service?
could you please close the notification bar when selecting an app? always makes me think the click wasn't registered.

No, it just shortens update time . Don't worry if it works right . As for notification: will put an option to do so shortly.
Cheers!

This app blocks the 3rd Party App Install on my device (Motorola Defy). You can still press the cancel button, but the install button has no function.
Tested it on a custom CM7 Version and on a Official CM7 Version(with fullwipe).

DESCRIPTION​Lucid Browser is a free and open source web browser designed to be small, light, fast, and simple. The app itself is as small as about 4 MB, and the Donate version is only about 2 MB. The browser uses a custom homepage that loads locally for quick start-ups. Although it is small in size, it packs a punch with all the features you would normally see in a mobile browser. For example, you can import bookmarks from other browsers that use file formats of HTML or JSON. The browser also allows for complete management of bookmarks with folder categorization. By default, Lucid Browser uses Ecosia, a project designed to help plant trees. Lucid Browser also comes with many settings and ways to personalize the look. It is easy to use, very handy, and allows you to surf the net with speed.

Awesome browser! Keep it up!
One request: Usually there is a .com button on my keyboard, right next to the space bar. Could you add it here as well?

Love to see this go solo.
It was a major useful feature of the laucher.

always love slim browsers like this
great job and thx:good::good:

seems light as a feather, great.
possible to add a "quit" option in the sidebar ?

it's awesome, good work dude:fingers-crossed:

hello,

thanks

It's light-weight so it means:
-it won't consume as much RAM as bigger browsers does
-work fast because there are not many elements to load so that CPU can focus on page loading

needs to handle revoked certs
It should not show this page
https://revoked.grc.com.
But it does. You could be among the first to offer secure browser for Android.

Awesome browser man, keep it up.
I'd like to ask if it's possible to add an option to autohide the action bar during navigaton as well as adding the option to display the most visited sites when typing an adress?

A few in the play store have mentioned it in reviews, but the ability to close the browser would be optimal. Currently the only way to get back to the home screen is the home button on my phone. I assume this is intentional, but for full browser replacement on android for me I need a way to exit the program even if it becomes an advanced option in the settings menu. Otherwise very lightweight and intuitive to use and I really like it.

ability to close the app, would be necessary for me too. Otherwise definitely what I need in a browser ???

Nice lightweight browser!
Rated 5 star on Play.
But I still can't download anything l like from Dev Host.

Great Browser

Amazing... Keep it up.

I would prefer holding the back button to close the browser - or ideally options for making holding do this of course.
I realise this is probably a big ask but Lastpass integration would be nice as well. It pains me and my phone battery that Dolphin (and possibly Firefox ...?) are the only browsers to offer this.
Lovely app BTW, thanks for all the hard work.

Looks good but a couple of feature request.
-Ability to close the app.
-Setting a blank home page
-clearing cache, browsing history,cookies etc when exiting.
Also, swype(keyboard) doesn't show a ".com" on the keyboard which usually works with all browsers. Please check that.
Thanks

Great Browser!

Released new version v 1.1.2 now
In about an hour can be downloaded from the play store
In this version:
- Add level battery information
- Add alarm information
- Remove bug in a sub action into notification
In next versions:

* - Universal Music controls directly from the lockscreen

Good but i recognize battery drain.

Wake up on notification received should be really appreciated

Not for Jellybean

Well when I switched back from Lollipop to KitKat, the only thing I wished was back was the Lockscreen. Thanks DEV. :good:

Hi,
First of all kudos for coming up with a new launcher. I always liked the Idea of card style app organization.
I have some suggestions though,
1. Keep a Home screen with Clock/Weather/Calendar widget. That is the minimum requirement for a lot of users.
2. With a right scroll or left or up or even the app drawer selection, get to the cards page you have created. Any one option of those would be great.
3. When one app has been selected for a particular card, keep that app unselectable from the app selection. When one wants to change the app from one card to other they can drag and drop. Or if its not possible then you can give a tick beside the app in selection making the user aware that the app has been categorized.
4. Keep All apps card as default. As of now for all apps we need to slide down and go to all apps. For a frequent app installer like me who cannot keep a check on the regular apps installed its a pain to every time go and select the apps to other card as there is no auto organizer.
5. At the end an auto app organizer if possible.
I hope I conveyed the things clearly. Would love to see this launcher in lime light.

Nice launcher, license download master :good::good:

I'll try to cover many items of your list in the upcoming update

I'd like the launcher to organize my apps into cards because I'm too lazy.

Nice launcher

Thanks

Great

Cool launcher. Nice to see something different apart from the usual launchers.
Found a wierd bug though:
I've been having trouble adding certain apps to cards. Kinda frustrating since it's work-related apps
These apps include: Chrome, Chrome Dev, Hangouts, Slack, LinkedIn​
So I'm gonna check back in a couple of weeks when you had the time so sort out bugs, because I'm too lazy to find them in the drawer everytime I need them
