OR
- "Run Task One"
- Run all the commands you saved as the task name!
It's easy-to-use task interface allows you to create and customize your own tasks by adding as many commands as you want to easily and efficiently so you can run them whenever you want, wherever you want, in any app or on any screen!

I'm planning to implement such feature. (Also, give a possibility to mark as read "on server". sometimes is usefull, I think)
So, I think it will be available in the mid of the next week if you are interested.

Now for me the first priority is auto sync and sync of pictures, but after that I'll surely implement a widget (but, maybe in pro version).
What do you like to include in such widget? A list of articles (for selected feed, category) or texts?
Thank you both for the feedback!

I am interested! Gonna try ASAP!
Thank you for your job, it's a great lightweight app!
I use it as my everyday reader for 1 week, so far so good.
I'll wait for the auto sync but actually I don't really need it!
Thank you very much
Thank you very much for your response.
I'll try to make it even better!
Here is the new version with auto sync!
1.0.beta3 was not very stable.
So, check out quick fix!
1.0.rc1 is much more stable now.
Also, you can just download JustReader from Android Market!
Hi everybody!
I've just implemented downloading of the images (view images offline). Do you want to try it?
If so, check out this version!
It's not very stable, but you can try and write here what you think.
It can be switched on in account preferences screen.
Next things I would like to implement are:
- possibility to stop synchronization process
- show synchronization status in notification bar
hello!
I use this new release for 3 days and everything works like a charm on my hero!
once again, thank you for this app, better thn newsrob

This is new version with

Check it out!
Also, I'm planning to release paid market version and to cut a little bit free version, also I'll try to add advertisment on the main acitivity of the application.
Everyone here, If you want, you can send me emails or private messages and I'll send you unlock code.
So, come back here when pro version is out. First 100 will get unlock code.
Also, a big job must be done to make the release really stable.
Thank you all again!
What about Google Reader by Google?
What do you think about new Google Reader for Android released by Google?
Do you think they will implement full offline support?
Do you like this new app? Why?
Just downloaded market version, and a few quick thoughts (I'll have more later)
Sync settings:
Maximal age of the post should be Maximum
you list a bunch of numbers in that catergory. I'm assuming they are days, but weeks would also be a possibility. If you could put 1 (unit), 2 (unit), that'd be great.
Main feed page:
I use folders a LOT in google reader. Usually, I browse by the whole folder at once, rather than the individual source (example, I might have android police, Android Central, and XDA portal for android all in one folder). However, in this app, I can only view by individual feed. If you can place an option under the folder menu to view all at once, that'd be great! By this I mean, I might be viewing an Android central story, but the next story might be XDA portal.
Edit: Just found if you tap the numbers it does this. If you can make that a menu option, that'd be great. I only found it by accident.
Overall:
You have a setting for article screen theme. Any way you can make that universal throughout the app? I like black text on white. However, everything but the article is still white text on black.
Make it so that articles that are read in app are read everywhere.
That's all for now. Looks really good so far. Love the swipe to go to next page option. Google official reader needed that. For what I think of googles reader app, I really like it. Nice UI, but no offline caching.

Hi!
Thank you very much for some suggestions!
What do you mean by phrase on top of this post?
Statuses are saved to Google servers each time you synchronize account.
You mean "instantly"? Right when you are reading?

+1. Also, PM

I think a widget would be a great idea. I see you are planning to add it in the future and you were asking what to be included. I think the best way to do the widget would be to display "all items" that would link to your app when clicked. I also would like to see a mark all as read on the widget too if that can be done.
I'll implement widget for sure, but a little bit later. Now the main priority is stability.
Now, you can try one more beta version:
better offline support
bugfixes
some synchronization performance improvements
1.0 version is out
Hi!
version 1.0 is on the market now.
you can update right from the market or from the top post.
And, there is a present for you.
PM or email me and I'll send you key app for removing ads in JustReader (I need your Google Reader account name for this)
Next things I would like to do: to implement better and more intuitive interface and to listen for your suggestions!
Thank you
Happy New Year to everybody!
JustReader 1.0.4 is out now (update from the market) .
ui improvements
full themes support
bugfixes
downloading of images is limited to 20 posts for free version
I would like to thank you for using JustReader and make a little present - JustReader pro.
Send me PMs with your google reader account name (usually your gmail) and I'll send you pro version for your account.
Hi everybody!
New version is out.
changes are:
-present version works fully like pro version
-reading position shows on the Post Activity
-link to open browser (possibility to open browser without using menu)
-bugfixes
Also, there are some special offers.
If you would like to translate JustReader to your native language, I'll be very happy and you'll get present version of JustReader Pro for your work (or maybe two or three versions for your friends)
If you like the app and want to get free pro version you can make a post in your blog about our application, what you like and what you don't, with links to xda and homepage.

Presents the Official
MIUI RELEASE
Donate to the man responsible to the EVO Gingerbread Build: StiffSpliff
StiffSpliff NEVER asked me to do this but we have to show some respect for his time. Donations keep Dev's from having to charge for sites and other things you see other Dev's doing now a days
I am not connected to these Paypal account's at all in fact I've only donated to it! Linked straight to StiffSpliff aka the man behind this​
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT​
Welcome to the Original XDA support thread for the MIUI HTC EVO 4G and the Official XDA support thread for the MIUI.US version of the HTC EVO 4G port!
MIUI is an extraordinary ROM presented and ported all over the world. We are a worldwide family and this thread supports all HTC EVO 4G MIUI global users. Recent changes have led to the development of two separate HTC EVO 4G MIUI ports. In the interest of providing the most relevant and highest quality support, this thread offers specific support for the ORIGINAL version of the MIUI HTC EVO 4G ROM, which resides at MIUI.US. We will continue to discuss and support general questions about MIUI, however; if you are using the MIUI-devs version of the HTC EVO 4G port and need specific help with that port, we recommend posting your questions in the MIUI-devs home thread. Of course we would welcome you to join us on the Original port here at XDA or at MIUI.US.
As this XDA thread is comprised primarily of original MIUI users running the MIUI.US port it may be difficult for most of us to trouble shoot for a different version. With that stated, MIUI.US is built on cooperation, community and inclusion and we will do our best to assist any and all MIUI enthusiast regardless of port version, release date or handset. MIUI.US is the continuation of a tradition and a new beginning for MIUI on the HTC EVO 4G. Welcome to our community, we are glad you are here and hope you will join us in building the best community on the net!
Your XDA-MIUI.US HTC EVO 4G support team [Stiffspliff, Tyzing, EndlessDissent, Jasonk75 and Just_s & Manup for his amazing graphics, themes and our banner]
Kernel Info: Generally MIUI uses the CM7 stock kernel. Of course others can be used. For more info on the CM7 kernel and CM7 visit: http://bit.ly/z3Cz2O​
[BUGS] Official Bugs Report Thread [GB][Fresh Start] ​
Unable to download from market
Solution: Open the "downloads" app from your homescreen, hit menu, and select download using wifi network. Then hit menu again, and re-select download using mobile network.
No 4G/WIMAX
Stop Asking, its in the works PS Stop asking
The illegible text bug (3rd party apps)
Solution: This is due to the Chinese devs at miui.com slowly implementing the new UI.
(using root explorer as an example)
Go to menu - settings - programs - manage applications - root explorer
Scroll down to "Compatibility mode" and toggle.
This will make root explorer usable.
This workaround may not work on all apps!
It's annoying, yes, but it's what we have at the moment.
Screen flashing black/white when scrolling
Solution: Toggle compatibility mode for that app. If it's on, turn it off. If it's off, turn it on.
No 720P video
Waiting for the Chinese to implement this. Or for CM to implement this. Currently not available on any cm7 or miui supported phone.
Some apps force closing i.e. Engadget, Mint.com, (tried uninstalling and re installing from market)
Solution: try running in compatibility mode, some apps are not 2.3 ready.
No FM Radio App
Solution: None Yet
GPS Menu Settings GPS Fix (Just_s Guide)
menu-settings-personal-my location
use wireless networks - ON (your wifi must be on, doesn't have to be connected)
use gps satellites- ON
see of gps works, if not, go back to same menu
go to gps configuration
in NTP server address, add a 0. in front, to make it 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
supl server address: supl.google.com
supl server port: 7276
hit ok
**If you are in the US you can alternately set the NTP SERVER ADDRESS to us.pool.ntp.org. Elsewhere in North America should leave it as stiffspliff recommends above. Other countries should see this link: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html and note the 4th paragraph.
GPS Status & Toolbox Fix
Download 'GPS Status & Toolbox' from Market
Enable GPS
Open GPS Status & Toolbox
Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Reset
Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Download
Menu > Tools > Compass calibration > follow popup directions
I know that these have helped several users and are much simpler and faster than the ##GPSCLRX# fix so they can be a good place to start.

The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste.
Click Net Disk on the desktop, and you’ll see MIUI has prepared a variety of amazing apps for you, including notes, audios, videos and IM and so on. You are free to choose and install what you like! (Please make sure your phone is connected to wifi.)

> I’d like to install apps downloaded from the computer, what should I do? First copy the downloaded file (.apk) into your SD card. Then pick up your phone, click “File Manager” on the desktop, find the file you copied and click to install it.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
> Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
> How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.

The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!

MIUI In The News​
MIUI is far from a "basement app" here is some news from MIUI:
http://technode.com/2011/04/14/rumour-lei-jun’s-miui-android-rom-teams-up-with-guess-who/
Lei Jun is ex-Kingsoft CEO (like Microsoft), co-founder of Joyo.com (sold to Amazon), now Chairman of Great Wall Club and Angel Investor. His newer product, MIUI under his start-up Xiaomi, is stirring rumours about an OEM partnership.
MIUI is a 3rd party Android ROM tailored for the Chinese market. Think about it like a layer on top of your Windows OS on your computer, to make it more customised and personal, but on mobile. From their website it says it enables faster dialling, better security and a big library of themes and skins.
Last weekend at a developer conference there was some chatter about MIUI partnering with a big OEM. We can speculate it could be with Samsung, Motorola or LG because all are bringing their Android phones into the Chinese market. We have reason to suspect the OEM partner is Motorola because as an American based OEM, they know less about Chinese user behaviour compared to Korean based Samsung or LG. It has also been reported that Dianxin, another Android ROM incubated under Innovation Works is partnering with Sharp. Motorola needs to make a good impression to stand out in China, where competition with other Android phone’s is fierce

http://technode.com/2011/01/13/why-xiaomi-raised-35millions-to-design-a-real-phone/
Xiaomi is an iPhone/Android development company invested by Lei Jun, the board chairman of UCWeb, the leading Chinese mobile browser; ex-executive director of Kingsoft; co-founder of Joyo.com which is sold to Amazon at 2004. We used to report that,
Xiaomi has raised another round of $35million from Morningside Venture and Qiming Venture partner. The valuation of Xiaomi is reported at $200million.
$200million valuation?! Seriously, as an iPhone/Android development company, Xiaomi is able to attract that much of attention and money, which sounds insane. I could not get it, until yesterday two friends both confirmed with me, Xiaomi is not just about designing mobile applications, but designing a phone, I mean a real phone.
Looking at Lei Jun’s recent investment, I am totally impressed,
UCWeb – the leading Mobile browser (our previous coverage);
Xiaomi – one of the most promising iPhone/Android development company which already released several applications including Xiaomi Reader (iBooks like) and Miliao (a copycat of Kik);
MIUI – Android-based mobile OS;
Xiaomi Phone?!
So Lei Jun has the mobile operating system, the browser and the applications, once there is a nice phone, he actually is able to reach all the important sectors in future’s mobile phone industry. Smart!
The rumor says that the phone will come into the market in Q3, 2011. Is Lei Jun building a Chinese Apple?

No. Wimax LEDs are used for notifications. That's the LED on the right side of the ear piece.
And the team is getting prepared with the kernel.

Drag the file to your SD/MIUI/THEME
Then you'll see the theme in the theme manager
Also make sure you did a full wipe. Some of these issues have been fixed in the ROM that should be released tonight or tomorrow

[APP][5.0+] Notification Timer ⏱️: Use stopwatch timers from the notification drawer!

To get user feedback, I will be giving out a limited number of Google Play Store promo codes for the pro-version of the app!
Please comment or message me directly and I will be happy to send you one!
First come, first served- thanks!
Introduction
Notification Timer lets you use stopwatch timers right from your notification drawer.
No need to open an app- view and use your timers from anywhere!
If you track billable work hours, time spent on personal projects, hobbies, chores, exercise, sports, or anything else, then you need this app!
There are some great alternatives out there, but they all have the same major flaw: you shouldn't have to search for an app and wait for it to open to manage your time tracking. With Notification Time, now you don't have to!
With Notification Timer, you can access your timers from anywhere- your home screen, another app, or even the lock screen!

Features
Main Features:
• Notification timers: Timers you activate will show up in the notification drawer. You can view and use them from anywhere!
• Create and manage multiple timers: You can show and hide individual timers as you need them.
• Focus on individual timers: If you have a lot of active timers, the notification can get quite large. You can hide all but one timer by tapping the stopwatch icon, and show them all again by tapping it again.
• Customize your timers: You can give each timer a unique display name to make it stand out. Personalize your timers with more than 40 color options. Choose to hide buttons you don't need to avoid accidental resets and dismissals.
• Deactivate/reactivate timers: Don't need access to your timers right now? With one button press you can hide them all from the notification drawer. Press it again when you're ready to start tracking time again. All the timers you had active before will be remembered and activated automatically!
• Reset all timers: Done recording for the day? With one button press you can easily reset all timers back to time zero.
• Timer history: All timer events (start/stop/reset/etc.) are automatically recorded, up to 1000 events
• Set time manually: Forgot to start your timer? No worries- you can update your timer's current time manually.
• Reorder timers: Put your timers in any order you like. The order will be reflected both in the app and the notification drawer.
• Daily tracking log: Check daily breakdowns for each timer (elapsed, added, and total time).
• App themes: Dark theme is enabled by default, but a light theme is there if you prefer it.
• Timer styles: Three different timer styles are available: dark, light, and black.
• Timer sizes: Large and small layouts to suit your preference.
• Functionality settings: Lots of options are available in the Settings menu for adjusting how the app and timers work.
Pro Version Features:
• Create unlimited timers (free version is limited to 3 at a time)
• Display up to 8 timers in the notification drawer at a time
• No more notification upgrade message
• Completely ad-free
• Help support future development of Notification Timer and other great apps!

Notes
Due to Android technical limitations, all timers in the notification need to refresh at the same time. Because of this, you may see some hiccups or glitches while timers are running, and their displayed times might be slightly off. Paused timers will always be accurate.
For the same reasons, it is not possible to display milliseconds in the notification and still have responsive buttons- sorry! If displaying milliseconds within the app itself becomes a highly-requested feature, that could be a future possibility.
Also, please note that the daily tracking log is not able to keep track of time beyond timer history (1000 events). If you need longer term records, please consider using a separate time tracking tool. For now, the focus of Notification Timer is easy-to-use timers. If lots of users request more sophisticated time tracking then that could be a possibility for the future.
Please feel free to reach out with any bug reports or feature requests and thank you for your support!

Release Notes
Version 1.2.0:
Added small timer layout. With the small layout, up to twelve timers can be displayed at the same time and up to six can be displayed without having to recreate the notification after focusing on a timer. By default, the small layout will be used if five or more timers are active, but this can be changed in Settings.
Added setting to specify which layout focused timers should use.
Older Versions:
Version 1.1.0:
Created a Daily Tracking Log screen to view daily breakdowns for each timer (elapsed, added, and total time). Please note: the app still won't keep track of time beyond timer history (1000 events), so if you need to keep long term records please consider using a separate dedicated time tracking tool.
Fixed notification upgrade message not directing to in-app upgrade prompt dialog.
Fixed some memory leaks (might see some benefits in memory usage).
Version 1.0.2:
Implemented manually setting of time by typing in the time (instead of scrolling).
Tapping a timer's time within the app now opens the dialog to manually set the time.
Fixed crashing bug (probably) seen on Moto G5s Plus (and likely other devices).
Fixed crashing bug related to activate all timers button.
Adjusted contact form (removed auto-fill suggestions).
Version 1.0.1:
Tapping a timer's focus button in the app now activates the timer in the notification.
Tapping a timer's name in the app now opens the timer settings dialog.
Made slight adjustments to timer dropdown menu.
Simplified and shortened tutorial.
Ads are now hidden while the tutorial is running.
Fixed a bug that could prevent the tutorial from progressing.
Fixed bug where the activate/deactivate all timers button would crash the app if a timer had recently been deleted while active.
Version 1.0.0:
Initial release- Notification Timer lives!

I liked the idea! Right now I use the stopwatch from the default clock, but, like you said, you need to open the app and can't control via notification. I would like to test the Pro version :angel:

Code sent- thanks for trying it! I was in the exact same situation, which is what caused me to decide to develop the app. I hope it helps you out!
Hey everyone! I just released an update, fixing some bugs and adding a couple features. And I still have promo codes for anyone interested!

Love the idea! It's much more simpler, than opening one app, and then going back, and doing that everytime you want to pause and.. well, you get it.
Noticed some problem. On my Xiaomi Redmi 3 there is only one timer in the drawer, even then I started several of them. Might be MIUI problem.
Also, it would be very nice, if app accumulated all timer time. Yeah, I can go to history and sum it all by myself, but it's no fun. Like how that realized in TimeSheet. It gives report by day, week, month, etc.

Thanks for the heads up! A bug on that platform is very possible, as I don't have any Xiaomi/MIUI devices to test on (though I will be looking into getting one). Is it possible that your timer is in focused mode? There would be a line under the stopwatch icon and tapping it would show the other activated timers.
As for accumulated time, I am looking into a system for automatically tracking daily time and an "all timers" option would be trivial to add to that (as would week/month/etc.). Thanks for the suggestion!
In using the app, I realized I wanted to be able to have more timers displayed at a time, so I created a small timer layout to fit more into the notification. Here's the update with that feature- enjoy!

What is it for:
Helps you to use big screens easily with one hand by introducing a computer like cursor controlled with one finger by swiping from edge of the screen.
How to use:
1. Swipe from left or right margin from the bottom half of the screen.
2. Reach the top half of the screen by dragging the tracker using one hand in the bottom half.
3. Touch the tracker to click with the cursor. The tracker will disappear on any action outside the tracker or after a period of time.
TIP: While using the quick cursor, touch with another finger to open the quick settings menu.

Credits
Quick Cursor is an alternative to the already known Reachability Cursor app. I really liked it, and I appreciated the developer attitude and his vision about the app in his replies online. Unfortunately, NiftyUI's last message about the app was on 7 October 2018 and the last app update was on 4 October 2018 and it doesn't work on most Android 10 phones. I do hope that he is ok, and give him a big thumbs up for the idea and the implementation!
Why
I saw a lot of threads and replies on XDA and Reddit for an alternative app for Reachability Cursor for a long time and I needed one too!
Monetization
The app uses the same monetization scheme as Reachability Cursor: it offers an In-App purchase for "PRO" mode which adds some more functionalities (floating tracker mode, long clicks, edge actions) and a lot of customization on each part of the app: cursor, tracker, trigger area, tracker area, cursor area, feedback. Basically this is a support for the developer (me), because the free version should be enough for most use cases.
Help needed
The app should run on Android 7.0 or later, theoretically. I tested it only on 10 devices running Android 9 and Android 10 (Pixel, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oneplus).
I need help to collect some feedback on this early version from more devices, so please send feedback anywhere (here on XDA, Telegram, Reddit, Email, Play store), including the device name and Android version.
I'm more interested in this topics:
critical bugs that won't let you use the app properly
if it works ok daily in your case
if you see any performance impact on your phone
90hz or 120hz affected?
feature requests
I need these feedback to estimate the current state of the app and how much work I have to do until I can fully release it, not early access, and more polished. I don't work as a full time Android Developer, so I don't have a lot of things necessary to test it well enough on my own (time, phones, knowledge, etc), and don't want to release the app publicly if it is not polished enough.
Thank you!

Version Information
Status: Beta
Current Beta Version: 0.9.9 Beta
Beta Release Date: 2020-04-25
Created 2020-04-25
Last Updated 2020-11-07
My current to do list, which contains bugs, feature requests, nice to have, possible fixed problems, ideas, etc.
It's a raw draft of what I probably should do next:
Code:
Important features:
- OnePlus trigger bug with navigation gesture: add a warning message for OnePlus devices
- refactor all coordinates system to use only one display size (because of navigation bar/display cutouts/status bar/resolution change)
- refactor all sizes to use only one unit (dp or px)
- refactor (cursor drawing, ripple drawing, gesture recorder drawing, trail drawing) all in only one overlay view to increase performance
- cache all size operations
- default trigger/tracker/cursor sizes based on display size ratio (tall phones, small phones, big phones, etc)
- translations
- blacklist/whitelist: start/stop the app based on what app is running
- more simple configs to "simple triggers": cursor speed (slow, normal, fast), trigger position (lowest, low, middle)
- a new way to configure zones with a nice UI with visual resize and drag of the areas
- edge actions improvements: more actions, different action per left/right/top edge and each side to split in half with a nice UI to configure
- backup/import/export app configs
Nice to have:
- [experimental] "WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" to automatically restart accessibility service when the Android System Bug appears
- [experimental] make the long click trigger faster by interrupting the event (if possible) (also edge action swipe)
- landscape mode
- Chrome accessibility mode: address bar and tabs are permanently show if there is an accessibility service enable - see if something can be done to fix this
- Cursor trail animation
- Cursor animations: on show, on click, on gesture record, on hide
- optimize images inside apk
Bugs:
- OnePlus trigger bug with navigation gesture
- Accessibility Service is not detected as enabled in some cases
- long click not working on devices with long click wrong default time
So, there are still a lot of things, and I will implement them week by week when I have some free time
Troubleshooting
Bug: The app stops working after some time
Solution: Some manufacturers (Xiaomi, Huawei, and others) are killing the background apps even when the user doesn't want that, so the user must do some special configs to disable that.
Each manufacturer has his own settings, you can check more details about this here: https://dontkillmyapp.com
Bug: "Open settings" from Quick actions doesn't work on MIUI
Fix: "Display pop-up while in background" permission should be enabled manually for Quick Cursor in the MIUI settings. This permission is specific to MIUI.
Bug: Tapping with cursor stopped working or never worked
Possible fixes:
restart the Quick Cursor accessibility service
force stop the app from the phone settings and start the accessibility service again
restart the device (this worked on many devices)
some other accessibility services are blocking the Quick Cursor accessibility service and the app doesn\'t work. This can be fixed only by manual uninstalling other accessibility services.
Unfortunately, in some rare cases on some devices, the accessibility service can't tap or click on behalf of user because of unknown reasons.
If you are in this situation, there is no fix for the moment, but please send me your device model and Android version to gather more data why this happens.
Fantastic, thank you! Got the pro version.
Something I wanted from Reachability that I'm hoping you can implement as well:
An option to have the keyboard take precedence over this app's edge triggers. To prevent accidentally activating while swipe typing.

Also an option to adjust the Tracker pad's opacity, all the way down to 0% (completely transparent) if desired, would be fantastic as well. Really only need to see the cursor, not the thumb control pad.

Yes, I plan to handle the keyboard by raising the trigger zones when the keyboard appears on the screen. It will be available in the next release, hopefully.
Yes, there is already an option to set the opacity to tracker, just change the opacity on the color of the tracker. Unfortunately, this customization is available only on the pro version. Settings -> Tracker -> Inside color and Outside color, change the opacity for both of them to 0.
Thanks!

Yeah I found the opacity after my comment, so I went back and edited it as you were replying lol
Honestly an option to just completely disable them during keyboard would probably be best, if you're typing you probably aren't planning on clicking anything out of reach until you're done typing and the keyboard closes

I totally agree. The first thing I need to do is to detect the keyboard and handle it. After that, I will make it configurable:
Triggers over the keyboard
Triggers removed
Triggers moved above the keyboard
Because everyone wants it differently.
Thanks!
So we finally have an XDA thread for this wonderful app. ?
A huge shout out to the dev (@micku7zu). He is absolutely amazing and super responsive to all questions, feature requests, bug reports, etc. ??
App just dumped all my customizations and is telling me to activate pro version even though it already was. Basically acting like I just downloaded it now for the very first time and never bought it or changed any settings. Please investigate. I don't know if you just updated it or something but yeah it basically did a complete reset. Kinda sucks because I had it exactly how I wanted it, and it took a while trying to get precise numbers with that slider (I'd also recommend letting us click on the number to set it instead of just the slider).

Also being able to put a little black border around the white parts of the cursor would be great. Pretty much exactly how it is now but with a thin black outline on the center dot and outer circle, to make it stand out on a white background like a webpage or something, without having to permanently change it to a darker color all the time.
Yeah, those sliders should have a custom way to input the numbers. I will work on the UI, because currently it is not that great but it does the job.
Great idea with cursor border, I noted the feature request.
About the PRO version problem, I had this bug before, and it is really strange because Google Play Store reports the purchase as not there or in pending, but the purchase was already made and reported as 'purchased' before. I integrated the Google Play Billing library from Google for in app purchases. So I just ask Google what is the current state of the purchase, the response is ok and after some time it tells me that the purchase is 'pending' or not there.
If you have the time and can help me, I can send you a debug version that will print some debug info for me to understand the problem better.
Otherwise, if you just want your app to work again, the only solution I found is to clear the cache (or the app data) of the Play Store from your phone. After that, Play Store will report again the purchase and the application will update to PRO again.
I apologize for these problems, I can't control what Play Store returns, I don't know why it returns bad data, but if you have time to help with debug, it would help me to understand the problem better.
I have updated the app to 0.9.11 Beta and added some debug information on PRO. Tap 7 times on the text below the buy buttons and a debug info will appear below! Thanks

Okay, I can try the debug. I haven't experienced this issue with any other apps so I'd like to help you get to the bottom of it. See latest from non-debug version: https://bit.ly/3bF6z4L

Following these instructions doesn't produce anything. Also I completely uninstalled the app from my phone and reinstalled it and am still getting prompted to purchase the pro version, but when I try to again just for giggles it says I already own it. Yet I still can't change any pro settings - only could for a few hours after my initial purchase (pretty much until your next update came through).
This is why I hate IAP unlocks. Should just have a completely separate apps for free and pro versions. Or a separate app that's just an unlock key that doesn't appear in your app tray. That way you don't have these problems, AND the customer can refund through Google Play.
Can you please double check that you have 0.9.11 Beta from Play Store? After that, tap 7 times the text bellow the buttons: "Any of the above will unlock the same PROversion. The only ...." and then scroll down on the same page. There should be a new box with some debug information.
I have found a way to fix the problem, but I'm still curious about what data Play Store returns in your case. I will fix this in the next release.
If you want to fix it on your phone right now, there are 3 solutions right now:
1. Force stop Play Store and clear data + force stop quick cursor and clear data, after that when you tap on the buy it will work
2. I can refund and revoke the item so you can buy it again right now (or not, if you don't want pro anymore)
3. I can refund your order without revoking the item, so you will get the money back, and you can't buy it again, but the app will start working after Play Store cache data is refreshed or if you do step 1.
I'm happy to help you in any way you want. Thank you for your help!
I have the plan to fix this in the next release, but it is some work to do so it will take some time

First time working with billing in Android, I'm not a full time Android developer, so I did a quick study to find the best way to do it but probably I picked wrong and now it is hard to change.
There is a way to refund in app purchases as well from what I know, it's some kind of online form. It's a side project, I'm not interested in making lots of money from this app, but still want some support for the hours invested, that's why I picked the simplest solution (or what it seemed the simplest solution). Happy to give refund to anyone who has problems or doesn't like the app after the purchase, I'm responsive on any channel.
Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release and everyone will be happy

Yeah I'm not grumbling about the money, I mean I obviously paid for it originally for a reason lol. Would just love to be able to edit it again. The remarks about disliking IAP were just an aside. I just think it would be easier to have one version with the free features, one pro version with everything. Then you don't have any extra scripts checking for the IAP history or whatever else. Cut and dry. That's just generally speaking for all apps, I've noticed this huge trend lately on IAP unlocks.
True, the IAP purchase right now made by Google is crap. They have issues unresolved for a long time: https://github.com/android/play-billing-samples/issues/122 and the overall documentation / implementation is really bad.
For my use case, I already have the plan in mind on how to fix this and to never be a problem again, so hopefully will be implemented in short time before anyone else will have this problem, and thanks for help again!
Did you have time to try the clear app data from Play Store method?

Option 1 solved the problem for me, I didn't have to click buy again. Just a note I did have to reopen Play Store once though to sync back up. Then reopened Quick Cursor and it was good. Going straight to Quick Cursor after clearing data still had the issue but that reopen of Play Store solved it.

Got it all set back up - thanks!
Looking forward to that "disable panels when keyboard is active" and then it will be absolutely perfect! I already uninstalled Reachability, lol.
And also maybe an option to add an outline to the cursor ring and dot, with custom color/thickness, as mentioned before!
Glad that it is fixed now. Sorry for the trouble
First, I will fix this pro problem so it will not happen to more people in the future, and after that I will work on the keyboard
Hi, thanks for the effort. I would like to report that I use OnePlus 7 Pro with forced 90 Hz mode, no issues with that, smooth as should be. I will provide more feedback after some time.
