[App] 4.4+ Ubuntu Touch Launcher (W.I.P) - Android Apps and Games

Ubuntu Touch Launcher is a Homescreen replacement app for Android devices 4.4+
The app is currently in development and new features are added daily.
Ubuntu Touch Launcher is built around the same idea Ubuntu Touch had with Scopes, on top of regular features you have different Scopes that can be added on the homescreen to give you all your information at a glance.
Changelog is in second post.
Downloads are in third post.
Scopes ---
- Today Scope
This scope gives you quick access to weather, frequently used apps, possible connection to social media services
- App Scope
This scope is where all your apps live. Quick pinned apps are on top giving you easy access to Dialer, Sms, Contacts and Calendar.
- More to be added
As development goes I will be posting screenshots, change logs and alphas here to test.
Looking for testers as any feedback, bugs or feature requests are appreciated.

Haha thanks! I'm working hard to get the new update done, the icons are a good idea, if time permits I hope to create my own icon pack for the launcher.
Thanks for the input and support!!

I really like the ubuntu touch user interface, waiting for almost fully ubuntu touch ui

Hey guys sorry about the absence, I had a new baby a couple of months ago and had very little development time.
But I am back and working on the launcher, I've got a few new things going and a couple of ideas!
I'll have a new APK soon to test out and hopefully we can get it to beta stages soon!
Thanks for the patience and support

[Widget test] Moogly to-do list widget

Hi everyone! Im the developer of Moogly, a simple but useful todo list widget that started as a project for Honeycomb. The pr is after the break.
There have been reports that it doesnt work properly on some devices! If someone could be so kind as to try the Lite version and if it doesnt stretch properly, send me some screenshots and log files!
You can also post issues at the main thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202211
Thanks in advance!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOOGLY
A simple but powerful to do list widget designed to be customized. Now with auto-hiding buttons!
Features:
★ Multiple independent, scrollable widgets
★ Quick, dialog based entry
★ Tick to delete or mark complete
★ Widgets are optimized for Honeycomb
★ Predefined themes or total customization
★ RTL support
★ Custom image backgrounds
This widget was inspired by To Do List from HTC Sense - for some reason, they were the only ones to get it right.
Lite Market link - restricted to 8 entries and only one widget
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.moogly.lite&feature=search_result
Screens:
This app is AWESOME! How come someone didnt make a polished one like this earlier?
Oh come on guys! No takers, seriously?
please update:
Tick graphic tweaked
Increased size of tick indent
Added option to expand to full screen when focusing on notes
Added Right-to-left (beta)
Works like a charm thanks!
I was wondering - if someone is interested in shring their themes?
You can post the hex numbers here and ill add them to the app!
NO problems here on my X. I really like the 2x4 transparent dark. This is the berries. Great widget.
If you like it, please consider leaving a review on the market - it can help me more than a donation!
Any issues with the latest version?
Just the best, love the simplicity and powerful features under the hood!
Nice to hear praise!
Great widget, the update is cool as well so thanks a million
Thank you. Enjoy and leave a review on the market or give suggestions!
Simply put, this is an amazing app. It gets the job done and lets me customize it how I want it.
Thanks! Please leave a market review!
Also, a small update is incoming!

Nice app. I like the clean UI.
Nice app, has a lot of potential!
Keep Going!
Good work, keep going
Tried a few similar apps like this one in the past... Definitely like this one the most. However, one feature that I wish was added is the ability to add our own, custom icons. Will that feature ever be included in the feature?

I missed this post, sorry for a late reply...
Well, I appreciate your help but right now I'm not thinking about translations. It would probably help me and more people would probably use it...
But...
I have lots of features planned and lots of releases will come in the near future, it would be a pain to maintain translations done by other people. I would have to wait for them to finish their translation before being able to release a new version.
For now, I want to avoid that. When the app reaches a more mature state, I'll think about adding a couple more languages.
Again, thanks for your help anyway.
Is there any updates for this app?

If there is anything wrong with my post please let me know so i can change it
Thanks for your times guys,Josh
"wrighting" should be spelled writing.
I'd like to know more: when you click the widget, does it open the main app or does the keyboard appear on the launcher screen?
Also, is there a main app in the first place (since you're just saying "widget")?
---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------
Ok, installed it. It's only a widget (make sure it's installed to the phone memory). Simple to use, simple interface, non existent loading times. Clicking the widget opens a screen where you can change the note. Some themes/transparency would be nice, other than that, it does what it says it does.

Swipe down to refresh is already in the "features to be added" list. Next release will have this done. Also photo uploading will be available in next release. There will not be much options in the Lite version (this) but there will be some nice customizations options in the pro version. BTW, I removed the apk from download section by mistake. Coming back online soon. Don't know why xda says: Missing or incorrect project info....

LoL. There's nothing in the app . Avast make me laugh. Avast has been blamed some time ago for spying users using adware... try with other antivirus app. I just scanned my whole system and AVG Pro says nothing found... The app uses simple WebView to display 3 tabs only. Nothing else. I'm available if any moderator wants to get my project and check the code. And BTW this project is going on github soon...
EDIT: I just installed Avast antivirus and it says my Wi-Fi (home router) can be dangerous just because it wanted to scan the Wi-Fi connection. Maybe that's what it wanted to say... You should click on that notification and let it scan...
EDIT 2: I attached a screenshot. Please check it. These are the results from Avast scan. It says that there are two issue in my Settings. 1- Debug USB is active 2- App installation from unknown sources is enabled. LoL try to scan...
Updated to v1.2 with some important changes. Check the first reserved post for changelog.
Hello everybody,
I'm really excited about this app. I want to thank you all who gave it a try . The number of users has increased significantly beginning from the first day, 27/05/2016 at 4:51 PM Europe time. Today it's 30/05/2016 13:31 Europe time and we are counting 210 users. That's awesome. 210 users in three days on my first app is really satisfying . A big thank you to all of you guys. You are awesome :*
Important update coming in next days (hopefully in the next 2 days)
Which new features will be added?
※ Dark theme should be added
※ Some settings stuff should be available
※ Some none used lines of codes should be removed to reduce app side
※ Some performance tweaks
※ Some webview popup tweaks
Stay tuned
How to stop auto loading of video in instagram ?
It seems to be good
LOL. I will come back and write down something after I intall it.
Sounds useful, I'll give it a go if I have the time....

I hope it won't take a lot of time to implement all these functions. Next week I will clean up everything and try to send the update before next weekend. Mean while I will send a minor update to introduce Drak Mode, G+ and Tumblr in the PRO version and Dark Mode in the Lite version...

Well, combining Lite and Pro and introducing in-app purchase to unlock features sounds something really hard to me (by hard I mean these requires a lot of work) which means I'm not sure if I will make that available.
I think it's better for me to keep both versions separate. And it's better for those who already bought the PRO. If I remove the PRO version and create just one with in-app purchases than it will be a hard process to move these users to the new version with all features unlocked and the process will be hard. Frankly, I don't even know how I will deal with that process... So now, betraying my own words, I think you should go ahead and buy the PRO version now.
The PRO version will receive significant updates and will be improved better. And yeah next major release (probably before next weekend) will have the tabs rearrangement but I'm not really sure to make it work before next weekend.
Hopefully on this Sunday I will release a minor update of the PRO version with G+, Tumblr, Dark Theme.
It's up to you to decide when you will buy it...

Sapphyx Launcher- A launcher built for you in mind

This is simply the sequel to my last launcher project, Sapphire Launcher. I started this project last August and began the beta in June of this year. So, Instead of boring you with a story of how I started and what an android launcher is, I will start with what is important to know before you post any comments.
Sapphyx Launcher is not intended to be another Pixel based Launcher. I provide the settings needed to transform the launcher from the "Pixel" interface back to the original launcherinterface. I am not a code junky, this is a learning project for me to learn how to properly use Google Services, Firebase, Analytics, Communicate properly with the user base and community on Google Plus, learn android from within the launcher application and provide cool customization options to your android device. Sapphyx is for Android 6.0 and above because of the code structure I use and the performance I promise.
Sapphyx Launcher is my vision of what I would call an original launcher. Its the kind of experience that slaps you in the face alittle bit to get you thinking why havn't other developers taken up such originality in their homescreen replacement projects. Like my old custom roms (Bionx Roms), i promise a unique experience and a very good customer feedback appreciation program. The launcher, like many other custom launchers, offer customization to pretty much everything. Label text size and color, grid options, toggling views and menus, unique navigation from point A to point B, material user interface, Context Pages, Gestures, Notification bubbles and more! Sapphyx Launcher has been called the ADW of its time as it brings back memories of my current users of the original ADW launcher from gingerbread with the amount of options that are offered. In Sapphyx Launcher, I offer a unique and exclusive feature called Context Pages (Now available in the latest beta) which are my replacement of a swipe to left add on. These pages offer different tools, features and shortcuts to daily tasked completed by the user. Sapphyx Launcher is a premium application and requires a license to use some of the advanced options. I also offer free license to users on certain occasions. Sapphyx Launcher is fully optimized for 64bit environment and Snapdragon chipsets.
MAIN FEATURES (Based on latest beta release)
-Transitional Themeing
-Notification Bubbles
-Homescreen Customization
-Dock Preferences
-Folder Preferences
-Unique Launcher Drawer with toolbar
-Context Pages (With Chooser)
-Unique Wallpaper manager
-Powerful Launcher Settings
-Google Services and Firebase
-Fabric Error Reporting
And more...
If a Licensed is missing, its because I am still testing the code and determining if its reliable for my project. I have no intentions to add Google Now or Oreo features. I may create my own implementation of something similar going forward if requested.
I urge you to join the Google Plus Group as that is my home and where I will be posting majority of what I am working on and previews and also you can sign up from for beta build releases.

Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Version: 1.00.20
Beta Release Date: 2017-08-16
Created 2017-08-18
Last Updated 2017-08-18
Rollouts/Updates
Sapphyx Launcher will be distributed in 3 ways. On Google Play, users have a choice of the stable channel and beta channel. The stable channel will distribute builds that are dependable, less buggy and user friendly. Beta builds will have experimental settings, have relatively new features readying for the stable channel and is open.
Xda Labs will feature dev preview builds in the Alpha Channel, mirrored beta versions and stable versions.
The Google Play Rating system for beta builds point users to this forum.
Ratings
I take the rating system seriously. If you abuse the system you will be pointed out or ignored. If you call out a user or developer, i will call you out publicly. Rate the application based on its performance, its features and reliability. Not what you think it should be or what you want it to be. Do not demand features.
License
I may not include license to a 3rd party resource if i am testing it or its relatively new. A license will be included if its solid and dependable and plan to be kept in the project.
#first!! Excellent launcher bro!!
Hoping to have the final beta update out before the end of August. After that, the next update after that will begin locking features and settings and users will be required to purchase either my premium or onyx license key (no difference except value and support). A handful of features will stay unlocked like icon editing and icon pack support.

I am currently working on a way to lock it out for users who don't like the intentions of it. Its based on a Drawer layout thus the launcher layout is placed inside of it so its not something i can just disable with a view toggle. I have to find a way to lock the drawer from being accessed. Right now, its i provided an enforced lock toggle. Yes, this is a priority im working on.
This actually looks really good, seems to fix the handful of things that bother me about the pixel launcher.ill give it a shot for a few days and see how it does on my s8(TouchWiz is ehh), I'll be sure to post any bugs I find to the g+ group

Very much appreciated. I like to tell users they don't have to keep Sapphyx installed, i care more about what they noticed or found that could be wrong.
Pushed out an update today to the following apps in regards to Sapphyx Launcher.
GSD Premium license now adds a Time Page module for Static Pages (Simple Widget, may add more to it later).
Sapphyx SideDrawer now listens to Drawer Background Color and Column Count shared preferences.

I already have plans to develop a page similar to Shelf. If I don't get to it, another dev will be able to soon as I will be releasing the API soon todo so. Im just not their yet to be satisfied with public usage.
I felt the same while developing this launcher, i wanted the same concept just another package or feature.

great work man!
I started working on publishing the Sapphyx Launcher API on github. Repository is live but the tutorial and setup isn't finished yet, been busy.
If you have any interest in it, feel free to star it. Github account can be accessed in the launcher about information. Il have some things documented above in OP when everything on github is finalized.
API is live on my github. I will be publishing some of my pages on my Github for examples.
The next update will be official release anf as a reminder will be locking all premium settings and requiring a key to unlock.
As apart of the update, Im compiling on Android Oreo which has broken a few things and improved performance so Im in the middle of a massive rework right now. The Extended homescreen is more aggressive now, making it feel more like a drawer than a extra page on your homescreen. This makes it less visible for users to notice if you do not want to use it vs users who will be using it. A large number of Force Closes have been patched. Ive gone through the launcher settings and moved a few things around while revamping a few views (Like the Avatar bottom menu).
Il be focusing on more user requests near release so keep the logs and requests and feedback coming.
A new feature im currently working on for Sapphyx Launcher. Kinda like a mock of the One plus Shelf.

looks lit man !
cant wait
Another look at the redesigned Left and Right Panes in Sapphyx Launcher's new update currently in development.
Static Pages now have an indicator to indicate which page you are on and how far left you are. Above the container is now a Google Now search widget which solves the delima of Now on left as clicking on it opens Google Now in that view. (I could add the Companion code from lawnchair but i really don't want to copy from them)
The Smart Pane has pretty much a final design. Just lacking its features at the moment. Currently looking at some options users could benefit from if they choose to use this feature for a cleaner homescreen setup.
This new update is planned for the end of September or beginning of October. I have a few things i want to touch up as far as existing tweaks, revamp the UX for the launcher settings, fix a few straggling bugs in a few tweaks and finalize the new Smart Pane and lock all premium settings.
A project update for xda followers.
I plan on doing a dev preview as an alpha build on xda labs soon. This build would be labled as an Alpha build and be a preview of the fall update. I hope to have this live next week. If you use this build, I expect feeeback. I will announce when it goes live.
I recently just switched to the newest Android Studio 3 beta and updated the launcher to compile on Oreo. The result was a massive amount of broken activities and actions because of new behavior and deprecated code and rules in Oreo. I have been working hard to fix everything and patch anything in need and remove anything that was completely broken. The result was a faster launcher but their is some weird behavior still and we're trying to locate the bugs and fix them (For example the drawer hangs or gets stuck as you swipe up from the dock)
I have been finishing up what I need to for a few new features, one of them being Sleeve. Sleeve is my representation of the One Plus Shelf feature. Altho it isn't 100% complete yet, I want users to get to try it and here from them what All could go in this hidden home screen. This screen is summoned via a gesture or launcher action.
A great amount of the launcher and interface has been rewritten to be more user friendly and easier to use as well as make that first impressions on many. The launcher settings has been re organized, a new long click listener was added to the carrot indicator. A few fixes to icon pack helper for Oreo and patches to pre existing tweaks so they behave correctly.
Be sure to follow the google plus group for more info and previews and to share your feedback and requests easier.
Dev preview builds are available on xda labs. Please select Alpha channel.
