[Open Source][5.0+] Rootless Pixel Launcher 3.9.1 - Based on AOSP 8.1 Launcher3 - Android Apps and Games

Vision
My launcher is a close to AOSP launcher that only changes the necessary code to allow for small extensions and backporting to older Android versions. If you want a more feature packed launcher use Nova, Action or Lawnchair. I focus on simplicity and rock solid stability. If you do not agree with that and would rather have experimental features, you are in the wrong thread.

Nice!

Just tried this on my OnePlus 3 and I can confirm that it works amazingly fast! Thanks for all the hard work. Cheers!

working very well on Lg G5

cursor bug
large cursor when typing to search apps in app drawer. on miui8

I am having issues installing this on a Nexus 6P with the latest Android O developer preview installed. Installation progress bar freezes at about the 90% mark and the installation fails. Has anyone been able to successfully install this on a device running the O developer preview?

Ended up wiping and starting fresh with the O developer preview. After doing so, Launcher3 installed without issue. Is there any way to get the Pixel icons working with this? I downloaded the Pixel icons for 7.1.2 from apk mirror, but it doesn't seem to have taken. Thanks.

Working great on LG Aristo, Suggestion: icon pack support.

Please either add pixel icons or icon pack support. Would make this the best launcher ever!!!

Its like dream come true for me... using it on my Galaxy S8... But I have two requests and an issue:
1. could your please support pixel exclusive automatic round icons for supported apps... it is possible as Action Launcher 3 has this feature with Round Icon Option on non rooted phone.
2. Is it possible to overwrite app closing animation like stock android (slide down). this feature is available in Nova Launcher through "Reveal App Animation". I don't like the default zoom out closing app animation of my Galaxy S8.
3. Check the screenshot: the Navigation bar color is muted .. not white .. gray color.. this is related to Poor Samsung design... Nova launcher has fixed the issue... But each and every other 3rd party launcher has same problem.. kindly look into the matter..! Thanks..
[Screenshot of Galaxy S8 muted color navigation bar..!](http://i.imgur.com/NF8JcFh.png)
Thank you.... Much appreciated work...

Thanks for share.. keep the good work continues..

Thank you for ur work but thanks even more for making a thread here on XDA!

Fix status bar

https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/releases/tag/Pixel-v1.3
- Possibly fixed Samsung's Secure Folder and MIUI from causing crashes
- Updated the requested Google Now overlay version from v0 to v5, like the O Pixel Launcher
- (EXTREMELY EXPERIMENTAL) added an entire library of obfuscated code to get the app shortcut row working
- Added a toggle for the app shortcuts, so you can disable them if they do not work properly
- Force the Pixel colours throughout the app, including the widgets and preferences
There is also a version without the entire app suggestions library in it, if it causes any problems you should try that one.

Anyway to get round icons without needing to change systemui or have root access ?

:good: Lawnchair is amazing!!! Thank you very much!

Hi there, im using Note 5 witj stock rom. But this is the result after install3d the apk.

Hi there, im using Note 5 witj stock rom. But this is the result after install3d the apk.

Google crashes? Oh man, that's a new thing I've never heard before. Only way I can get that to happen is in an emulator with a broken Google app variant. Is your G App up to date?

Hey, thanks a lot for your launcher, looks dope !
Just to let you know it has been featured on the biggest French - Android website today, so your Github might receive a bit more traffic
On a side note : I've tried it on my Galaxy S8, and I was not able to get the weather to show, irregardless of the number of time I've pulled down the cards to refresh google feed.
Do you happen to have an idea on how I could fix it ?
Also on a side-side note, would you implement icon support into it ? As with samsung ROMs we have the ugly looking icons instead of rounded/pixel ones.

hello ,
nice work
just a question does the mute button work?
are you using the stock camera app of letv?
Nice work. How is the battery life compared to eui?

The mute button doesn't work and I think it will never, because nobody except of letv knows exactly how they implemented this and even if it would be quite hard to port because there is just no such button designated in pure android.
The rom uses a different camera app than stock, I don't even know from which device or rom it's ported but it supports most of the stuff the stock rom supports(or even more?). The stock camera app is not installable on aosp (yet).

My phone is running for 12h now and it still shows me 18h left. In my first impression I'd say it's better than eui but it's definetly at least as good.
Hey guys,
Unfortunately I found a bug. Something is causing a "PhoneWindowManager.mBroadcastWakeLock" which completely prevents the phone from going into deep sleep .
EDIT:I found the reason. This bug happens if you use the volume rocker(VOL+/VOL-) but ONLY when the screen is turned off. I also have good news, I know which file I have to edit. It will take some time to get used to the java source code because it contains thousands of lines. A temporarily fix would be to only allow to adjust volume when the screen is on.
To avoid that it drains your battery so much, please regularly check WakeLockDetector. If you reboot the phone the wakelock is gone.
Same happens in the AOSP rom posted in the main LeTV thread - yet to install yours

I know, I was wondering about this wakelock before but I could not find the reason or if it is even related to the rom It also happens in the mdsteam rom for Note 2. I know how to fix it now but I don't have time anymore to compile and pack everything together. I think it's ready on Wednesday if everything goes well...
I like AOSP rom very much. It goes ok for me!
Congrats on the great development!
For me, slow-mo video and the "mute" switch were two important things when buying the phone, so I won't install your ROM right now.
I'm a bit confused by your original post - you talk about a stock camera app, but later you say it is not the original one by letv. So is it the original one with support for all the camera features or not? cheers
Any ideas for rooting?
Root is simply! You go into recovery. Then, you flash update-su.zip beta 2.49 over recovery.

Sorry for confusing but I meant stock aosp camera app not eui It does support all features of the eui app afaik, also Slo-Mo. I think i had the same one on my THL 5000...
It has following modes:
Photo
Video
Slow Motion Video
Picture in Picture
Live Photo Mode
Panorama Mode
Multi-Angle View
Gerrit, how's the GPS on this ROM? The same as the spanish AOSP or EUI?
Different is a little! Camera goes well! I flashed this rom two days and i am pleasant with it!
Can anyone comment how is the wifi signal strenght?
Thank you guys for the praise
Version 1.0.3final is now ready. It fixes the wakelock bug and I've tested it over one day now and it seems to run pretty well, no more wakelocks at all, also no crashes. I decided to only make an ultralight Edition from now on, so everybody can combine the addons as he likes.
I will provide gps and wifi test shortly.

Great job!
Some notes:
/recovery-from-boot.p.bak - do we need it?
LED is white when charging, red is better
I wonder if IrDa port and remote control app work
tap on "Menu" shows APP_SWITCH instead MENU (/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl)
adb devices doesn't list the device even with USB debugging enabled. Actually, the same was in EUI, but I hoped it will work
can you extend the reboot menu?
PicoTts always is forced close! Phone numer of sms is divided into 2 parts, sent and received.

1. I don't think so, but is has only about 700kb, so I didn't really cared about it so far
2. Actually the LED is changing the color while loading regarding to the battery level
3. No it doesn't I will add this to the main post
4. I don't know what you exactly mean. Pressing the circle button shortly will enter the menu and long will enter recent apps. What I want to add is that a long press will enter the Google App. The generic file you posted is just about adding linux key codes to different names. The actual event which happens when you press a button usually is written down in java code.
5. I know. I also have trouble with adb and the letv. I think we have to blame mediatek.
6. Yes I will.

I fixed the picotts issue already, it will come in the next version
Regarding the sms app I can only repeat what I wrote in the other thread about he dialer app. I don't make these apps, they come from aosp/google, if there is something wrong blame them. The main idea behind my rom is to provide a most lightweight and pure android experience as possible. For example one guy uses nova, the other hola and some use apex. The same goes for sms or dialer. I don't want to load this rom full of unecessary stuff you'll never use, feel free to install what ever you like. I don't have this issue btw. The way how you saved your contacts(e.g. with or without country code) might be the problem. The Messenger is the most recent version from google -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging&hl=de

Yes. From Android 4.1.1 to Android 7.0 (untested)
This app is great and has a lot of potential. I am currently using the leaked nexus launcher on my oneplus one with android marshmallow.
Some issues I'm currently having
- If kernel is in selinux enforcing then the app won't load and will get stuck on loading. I have to switch to permissive. Would a logcat help?
- I am using an icon pack called candycons but for some reason the app is not finding every single icon. It only finds one icon per app. However in another launcher like nova launcher, I can see all the custom icons for one app. This is a bit annoying as I can't use some of the better icons as they don't show up
- Although the app does alphabetize the all the custom icons for candycon icon pack, it unfortunately does not separate them into categories by the name of the app. For example, in nova launcher, it will separate all the custom icons into categories like Google apps, Lg apps, and also categories by letter
Again thank you for all your hard work and I hope you can address some of my issues

Does not work for me. N5X, Android 7.0, Nexus launcher v. NMR1-3063178
SElinux is permissive.
If I try to apply an icon pack, it shows zero icons selected. If I try to change a single icon, the icon in the launcher just doesn't change.

[ZIP][Flashable][V6/V7][OPR4/OPP5][OCT] ANDROID OREO PIXEL / PIXEL 2 MOD - 5X

THIS IS A PIXEL/PIXEL 2 MOD FOR THE NEXUS 5X RUNNING ANDROID OREO 8.0 and 8.1 (OPR4 and OPP5) ​
I am VERY excited to introduce to you some new Pixel 2 features! This begins the era of Pixel 2 mods. While much work remains to be done on Android Oreo, even with features in the first Pixels, this is an exciting development. Check out those screenshots and make sure to check out the animated clock icon Here's my Pixel Mod/PIXEL 2 MOD built for Android Oreo! :highfive: The current status of this mod is still a work in progress. Currently I am in between 8.0 and 8.1 so please pay close attention to what you are downloading. As 8.1 is going to be the upcoming official release, much of my focus will be on that. Currently the mod for 8.1 (OPP5) has been released and includes new features such as new wallpapers, Google Lens, and Always On Display!
Important piece here. Anything flashed is flashed at your own risk. I have not and will not release anything that I have not flashed myself. The only exception to this is the Pixel Mod for the 5X being that I don't own a 5X. However, I only release that after testing the mod on the 6P and recreating, exactly, the mod for the 5X. Regardless, you should always backup before flashing anything. Better safe than sorry. Also, anything posted in these comments is not endorsed/approved by me. This is a community; users are free to post what they want. Often times, users are very supportive and helpful. I appreciate the community involvement 100%. However, I cannot test and allow everything else posted here. Users are free to post at will. Using any form of mod posted in comments is 100% at your risk too, and just like with my mod, users should backup first. That being said, community involvement pushes learning forward. Mods such as this progress as quickly as they do thanks to community involvement and testing. To everyone who has asked questions, tested, and contributed I give you a huge thanks. :good:
If you intend on using Substratum, don't flash this mod. I'm working on a simple work around for this.
So as always, make a backup before flashing. I do not have an uninstaller zip made. The best way to uninstall is to backup your system.img in TWRP and restore if to remove the mod.

Common Questions/Issues & Answers/Solutions
Tinted Nav Bar? Pixel Nav Bar Animation?
-Not yet, still roadblocked on that one. Not giving up though.
Pixel Launcher is crashing repeatedly after flashing this mod!
-Go into settings from your quick settings and grant Pixel Launcher notification access.
Not all icons are round?
The problem seems to be in the versions of those apps. Android Oreo (Official Version) seems to have less issues than the Previews had
Substratum?
-This mod may break Substratum. If you want to use Substratum don't flash this mod. If you have, then just reflash your system.img to return to stock. If you want substratum, go here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/tutorial-android-oreo-pixel-mod-t3663727.
Notification Dots aren't working?!
-Make sure to enable the Notification Dots too. Go into the Pixel Launcher Settings (tap and hold like if you were adding a widget or changing a wallpaper). In the settings there is a category "Notification Dots". Even if it says "On" tap on it. Make sure "Allow Notification Dots" is on. Mine will do a little glitch like I repeatedly tapped it. I think it's just a bug in the Preview version of Pixel Launcher. But that should bring you the Dots if you don't have it.
Weather is not showing!
-Make sure to grant Pixel Launcher location access. Then give it some time. If you don't want to wait, swiping into Google Now and clicking on the weather seems to force refresh the weather widget on your homescreen.
No Option to Change Photo Upload Quality?
Unlimited Photo Storage was supported for a short amount of time before Google patched the mod. The current mod (OPR5_Pixel2_Mod--6p-V2 / 6th Edition) returned the ability to select photo upload quality. However, clearing data for the Photos app may be necessary. Just wipe data from settings for the app
6th Edition / 7th Edition
-TO-DO LIST-​-Always On Display
-Navigation Bar Animation
-Substratum Compatibility
-Original Accent Color Mod (Should help with Substratum Compatibility)
-Lowered DPI Navigation Bar Mod
-Black Android Oreo Boot Animation (Currently using stock Android Oreo Boot Animation)
-Integration Boot Sound (Have to find out where it moved to. Sound isn't in the same spot as it was in Nougat)
-Converting to Aroma Installer for Customized Features
-Possibly developing app to better integrate Pixel Mods with Android Oreo's native theme support
-The Pixels (Pixel & Pixel XL) themselves actually use (in a sense) a Pixel Mod. As of Android O (beginning in the previews) the Pixels have basically the exact same setup as the 6P and 5X. However, in the vendor partition they have a Pixel Theme (called Pixel.apk). This actually visible in the apps list. If you have a Pixel on Android Oreo. Go to your installed apps and view system apps. Look for Pixel.apk. That is the pixel theme, much like Substratum Themes. Now the Pixels basically use an overlay (using Android Oreo's native theme support). The 6P has the exact same compatibility. However, installation is a bit complicated. If I or someone else could develop an app to place the files+folders in the Vendor folder and run the ADB commands, it would make Pixel Mod's much less complicated and allow complete substratum compatibility.​
CHANGELOG​Previous Version: Oreo V5 OPR4 PIXEL 2 MO
Current Version: OPR4 PIXEL 2 MOD V2
-Implemented More Pixel 2 Features
--Removed Unlimited Photo Storage Support
--Returned Photo Upload Quality
--Added Pixel 2 Live Wallpapers thanks to elmkzgirxp
--Added Pixel 2 Audio
-Added CameraNX by Charles_l
--and one more reserved just in case--
I am running the latest October stock Android 8.0 Oreo with the 'Android+OPR6+Pixel+Mod+5X.zip' installed on my rooted Nexus 5X. I would like to know if this updated mod be flashed on the device as is or does the system.img need to be flashed first?
Flashed over stock+root OPR4 - works great! thanks!!
Can i install just pixel launcher?And will it break substratum than?

I am running the latest October stock Android 8.0 Oreo with the 'Android+OPR6+Pixel+Mod+5X.zip' installed on my rooted Nexus 5X. I would like to know if this updated mod be flashed on the device as is or does the system.img need to be flashed first?

Perhaps I answered my own question. I "dirty flashed" 'OCT_OPR4_Pixel_Mod_5X' over
an 'Android+OPR6+Pixel+Mod+5X' installation on my N5X without flashing the 'system.img' to clear out the older version of the mod..
The mod appears to work fine, just as before on the prior version of the mod. In the launcher setting under About, the version remains 'OMR1-4113793'. Is this the correct version?

Yes, and it'll work just fine. The thing that breaks Substratum is the Framework-res.apk

I'd just remove the framework-res.apk. That'll be a quick solution. Everything else holds the wallpapers app, nav bar buttons, your boot animation, and Pixel audio mod.
Removing the framework will remove the Pixel Blue Accent, Night mode, and Round icons. Although in the Pixel Launcher settings you can enable the round Icon shape to have these. The flaw with that is your icons won't be found in everything such as your recents. They'll just be round in the launcher

Just pushed an update and tested on my 6P. Planning on bringing everything over for the 5X within 24 hours. It's 3:30AM, my time so sleep is the plan now. I want to bring Unlimited Photos ASAP to this thread. I have it working on the 6P, or so it appears. Photos uploaded on a Pixel don't count against your storage. If logic works then if you get a bunch of photos backed up and Google patches the Unlimited Photos mod, the photos that were already backed up shouldn't count against storage limits, so I'm going to bring that ASAP
Anyone else noticed the animated clock icon? Just thought I'd point that out because no one's talking about it :victory:

[ROOT][APP][9.0+] Android 10 Launcher (+ gestures, feed)

Android 10 Launcher for Android 9.0+
Google has made an interesting change on Pie release: moving the recents app screen, along with the (was new) swipe up gesture to the stock launcher. Following that change, the Lawnchair team has released the QuickSwitch Magisk Module which allows you to change the "stock" launcher to a supported one that you prefer.
So let's get to the point. A week ago Google has released Android 10 along with its new, improved gesture navigation. It's much better than the gestures on Android Pie. Today, I'm happy to announce that you can get the new gesture navigation on Android Pie too with this port and the QuickSwitch Magisk Module.
Features
Video preview
- Clean stock Launcher3 base
- Android Q gesture navigation
- Swipe down for notification drawer
- Dark theme
- Google Feed (dark theme now included), YAY!
- Simple icon packs support (no dynamic icons/icon masking)
Installation
1. Install the QuickSwitch Magisk Module
2. Download and install the Launcher APK
3. Open the QuickSwitch app, select the launcher and reboot
4. Set it as the default launcher
5. Open home settings, select "Developer options" and then enable gestures in there
Download
Unified build
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-v1.3-debug.apk
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-v1.2-debug.apk
For Android Pie
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-Pie-v1.1-debug.apk
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-Pie-debug.apk
For Android 10
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-10-v1.1-debug.apk
- View attachment Q_Launcher3-10-debug.apk
Notes:
- This launcher requires the QuickSwitch Magisk Module to function properly. It should work as a normal launcher alone but that's untested.
- Unfortunately, the back gesture is a part os SystemUI and can't be achieved in this port, but you can use apps such as Fluid NG to replicate it.

Enjoy.
Please press thanks if you like this.
Thank you, really nice!
It's not working for me. I've done all the steps. The name of the launcher linked here is "Quickstep" in my default apps settings. And choosing that makes it so I can't even close any app, it just reopens the app immediately. (like there is no home screen).
And I guess you don't mean the lawnchair settings? I thought that at first but there is no gestures option in the developer settings in lawnchair (latest beta).
Working great in Havoc 2.8 This should be your new grand project. I'm using lawnchair 2 and that's awesome.
Works flawlessly on my Xperia Z3 Carbon 7.0 Pie.
It would be nice with a dark background option.
Nice work, mate.
Would be great if you add this in lawnchair

In addition to being selected in QuickSwitch, this launcher needs to be set as the default home app as well for the gestures to work.

Is quickswitch currently working on stock Android 10 rooted? And would following the steps and installing your debug launcher for Q still allow new Android 10 gestures to work?

Although untested, it should work as this launcher is the same one that stock Android 10 provides with only a few changes. Just make sure you download the one for Android 10 and it should be fine.

Does the Pixel launcher from Android 10 come with new gesture animations, and are you planning to port it?
Also, for the people who have been using this launcher, what is your method of replicating Android 10's Navigation bar? I've tried Fluid NG and the Home button doesn't seem to work when Navigation bar is hidden. I'm on Xperia X running Lineage OS 16 (9.0).

Yeah, as I said, when I choose it as my launcher, it doesn't work at all. The phone behaves like there's no homescreen. When I try to exit settings, or any app at all, it just reopens that app immediately. It closes the app, shows an empty wallpaper and then opens the app within 1/10 of a second.

No dark theme ?
I got the boot script failed error in on QuickSwitch Android 10
This is so good. The animations are smooth and work as intended.
I'd be great if google now page can be added to the left.
And also, the bottom google search bar is also missing. Hope that gets added too!
Overall first impressions, a fantastic port!!
Can this work on unrooted device

Unrooted devices have no means to change Android's quickstep provider, which means you are stuck with default recents provider and navigation gestures.
Which, you know, defeats the purpose.
When I try to select is as the quickstep provider on OOS OB1 Q then I get an error message "Error: Boot script failled"

[APP][6.0+]Launcher Ops

Original Post (6/29/2020)
So, Your in the market for a new launcher app replacement? GCA Launcher? Lawnchair? Nova Launcher? Action Launcher? Pear Launcher? So many choices? Maybe your that guy/gal who switches launchers for certain profiles or environments. A question remains as you make your choice, is their an easy way to switch to my favorite launcher and is there a way to manage them more easily than what the android os provides? Well, I may have an answer!
(Edited 5/25/2023)
(Looking back at the op above from 2020) That was the question almost 3 years ago. How can we take a core feature of android and manage it? We answered it. In 2023, new questions came to the confront us. What launcher apps are safe to use, what launcher apps are legit and not cloned? Do they have ads? Why does it need access to my storage? Why is it connecting to the internet? We explored those questions and came up with a solution this year.
In June of 2020, XDA Developers had this to say about No'Me, https://www.xda-developers.com/nome-launcher-manager-switch-multiple-launcher-apps/
My Vision for No'Me changed as well as the angle for my vision of this app. First off, the name needed a rebrand. Second, No'Me needed a rewrite... And I had a few tricks up my sleeve.
I'd like to introduce No'Me's biggest update in 2 years. Welcome Launcher Ops! Launcher Ops is a next generation Launcher App Manager and Analyzer. There are 2 main features Launcher Ops focuses on.
Firstly is management, allowing users to quickly switch to and from different launcher apps quickly using the Companion app, Launcher Quick Tile, and it's brand new launcher switcher interface! Launcher Ops now allows users to switch the default launcher app programically without needing access to the android settings. This works by tapping into a relatively new api called Role Manager. The Role Manager API is not available on all android os and could possibly be blocked on some heavily skinned firmware and if it isn't available, will fallback to our original method of switching Launcher Apps. Launcher Ops will also create App Shortcuts inside of its Launcher icon of any Launchers it's discovered to quickly launch them or allow the user to pin a shortcut to their homescreen.
Secondly, This is the main new feature of Launcher Ops existence today, Deepsight. Deepsight is a brand new feature developed to allow users to Analyze and Inspect their current homescreen app or one they plan to use. By using Deepsight on a launcher, Launcher Ops will identify the following...
-Any agressive or high risk permissions accessed
-If it has Ads
-If it uses Google services or has micro transactions
-Is the launcher up to date and use the latest android SDK?
-Does it have the correct permissions set to operate correctly
-Identify how many Permissions, background services and activities are running or accessible
-Identify if its a clone or related to launcher3 in any way
-View it's activity list to see what and where and how
-View to see if it will support quick switch from Magisk to see if it has access to overlay services
-Grade it's overall analyzes by checking all of the above as well as any sketchy pings like messy labels, excessive activities and services running in the background and dangerous permissions
As a side bonus, Launcher Ops will also compare all the launcher apps installed and identify which ones are using high risk permissions.
Another bonus to Launcher Ops? It's powered by OPEN ONE UI. A smooth and easy to understand user interface that mimics Samsungs ONE UI for all with some custom views in the mix.
With as much work I put into Launcher Ops this year, I did lock some things up to a License requirement.
*Requires a License
-Permission Querry Tab
-Discovery Tab
-Permission Details Tab in Deepsight
-Overlay Support Tab in Deepsight
-Grading Details and specifics of flags causing grades to decline or increase
I hope you all enjoy Launcher Ops and find a use for it to discover clones or launchers that need to be questioned.

Your welcome
Publishing a hotfix for an embarrassing bug where No'Me tries stating certain builds of Lawnchair is not supported by Quickswitch so that will be up soon.
Just published an update on Google Play and already live on Labs (probably last one for awhile unless i start getting feedback)
-Fixed a bug that would crash the app if backing out of a donation or selecting a new one
-Updated the logic for the launcher manager menu actions (Sometimes, wrong actions were available for system launchers)
-Updated modules and libraries
Screenshot demoing usage of Quick Switch module active
It doesn't allow me to switch to the OnePlus Launcher. I also have Lawnchair (default), Nova and AutoTools installed which work.

Im finding that the dynamic shortcut doesn't show the system default launcher for some reason.
Nice find!
What I miss a lot when switching launchers is a way to import configuration from previous one. Is there a plan to implement this functionnality?
Thanks!

Most of the premium launchers should already offer an import feature (for compatible configurations) but some launchers may not be compatible with previous configurations and its a gray area. For example Nova launcher configurations are not compatible with my launcher (GCA) so users are offered an opportunity to start fresh.
Another blemish is apps cant access shared preferences from another app without root and i dont really wanna walk into that territory.
If a launcher stores something in its private directory or its res folder , i could essentially find it and list it but not all launchers work that way.
If anyone is encountering a force close as soon as the app opens, please let me know. Seems to be an issue for some users
End of the year patches have been published this week. These patches included the following changes
-Android 11 optimization (style changes and maintenance)
-Pre Android 10 maintenance (Android Shortcut Manager fixes, Style and general fixes)
-A fix to the Launcher list inflater (Progressbar would not show properly)
-A fix to launcher icon rendering (Context not properly initialized)
-A fix to the launcher list receiver (When putting the app in standby or exiting may cause crashes)
-Shortcut Manager not properly generating the shortcuts correctly
-A fix to the donations list
-Updated dependencies
-Updated Kotlin plugin
-General cleanup
Im not sure if the updated changes to Magisk affects how Quick Switch works and the compatibility with No'Me so if you run into not accurate info on the Quick Switch properties, let me know as I do not have an unlocked device anymore.
Thank-you for using No'Me!
wow, 7 Months... it's been awhile.
Some important news coming soon. No'Me is getting its android 12 ready update soon. In this update, The user interface will be polished up to fix some issues we discovered along the way and fix some things that just don't sit well. The app will be integrated with Monet library (Android 12 theme backport" so everyone can enjoy a really nice and up to date interface! The Manager tab will be cleaner and provide some extra info for users on their daily launcher. The settings tab will be alot more cleaner and allow detecting root and magisk alittle more in depth (this is used to determine if Quick Switch capabilites for the launcher is TRUE). They'll be a few new toggles to help manage switching easier. The manager tab will have a cleaner interface as well that's more up to snuff to standards of material design while playing a bigger part for newer features.
Along side the release, an open source variant will be released on my github to allow the community to possibly add onto the launcher manager to make it better or hold the key of adding the manager app to custom roms. I've held onto this app for to many years and it's time to move onto bigger things.
a preview of No'Me's material you update
A pre beta of the Material You update has been published on Google Play! A few bugs to work out but should be resolved in the next few days
Updated the OP for new update. il have screenshots later on when I have access to the computer. xda app kinda sux now.
