[app] mLauncher home replacement 2/28/16

This is mLauncher It's built for the nexus player and may work on other androidTV products. It lists all your apps including your sideloaded ones. Only has a couple features but here they are:
Display all your apps, set wallpaper, reboot, power off.
update: 2/28/16
changed the ui a little
DECREASED APP SIZE BY SEVERAL MBS!!!!!!
fixed the built in wallpaper switcher so that it displays all pictures in /sdcard/Pictures
Things to note:
Reboot and power off require root (Why haven't you done it yet?).
For the wallpapers function to work you have to sideload a wallpapers app on your NP.
To open quick settings press play on the remote Y on the game pad.
​

update 8/23/15
changed ui a little
added clock
fixed settings issue

Isn't it unnecessary to have a power off function on the Nexus Player? If it's an actual shut down rather than a sleep mode, then it would require the user to unplug power from their device and plug it back in before it could be used again.

I've got mine hooked up to a light switch so when I'm about to go to sleep and too lazy to get up it works great. Next day just flip the switch. I was experimenting with deep sleep but the way the stock Rom is set up to get it to work you have to remove daydream from the system and it takes a minute. I think on cm12 it would work. I could add the feature pretty easily. I was gonna add a shortcut to overscan and fix a small issue this week. Just let me know I'll put it in there.

By wallpaper app you mean a live wallpaper right?

No I mean wallpapers period unless I'm missing something there aren't any native apps that run regular wallpapers. Haven't tried live wallpapers yet.

Here's a beta release that fixes an issue I've been having with the app list not updating when you uninstall or install an app. It's a pretty dirty hack but seems to work okay. Remember this is beta and I'll be looking at different ways to implement it. So if your uninstalling and installing apps a lot give it a shot but if not pass on this.

Can you upload a screenshot of how it looks on your device?

Beta release
Here's a beta release with new sleep function. It requires root access click it and screen goes into deep sleep. There's another way to do this without root but it requires you to change backdrop to none and it takes 10 seconds. Not very functional in my book. Everything else is working great. Thanks

How about live wallpaper support?

On the stock rom google removed what is necessary to have live wallpapers but if you use a custom rom this will support it.

he is on the international version.

I am loving this feature and I did not realize it was a part of the latest update. I got my S8 yesterday so I didn't have much time to play around before an update showed up which I installed straight away. It's great if you are playing games without the fullscreen setting on as it makes games seem bigger by itself.

I have the same build. ATT carrier US device. No hide navbar feature for me...

it's good but what would be better is if it remembered your choice for different apps. There are some apps like instagram which I'm always needing the back button. Other like BBC News which i'm reading longer stories so don't 'need it

And they shouldn't have killed the colour picker option for the nav bar. That's horrible

Was there anything else on this update?

I had gotten the feature, then I tried to use Custom Navigation Bar app, and even after uninstalling the app the feature doesn't come back. I wanna cry =(

After update to latest update Bixby vision can only see text , no image or webpage .
I am on 950FD stock
Please any help

In some apps it works buggy, for example in snapchat when you take a picture the bottom part of the screen shows cam recording. But it is a cool feature

If you use SamsungSans font the icons remains in huge size. Change to the default font and test.

Yes i am using it , it has a strange lag that i didnt experienced on original s7 edge nougat launcher , but on the good side the scrolling in menu and app drawer is smooth.

I tried changing font and nothing. I mean maybe I got used to nova, and these icons are big to me. I have theme from this forum, s8 dark, thaf requires theme store to be disabled. Maybe that is a problem?
Also, there is no option to remove widget from home screen, and no hard press to uninstall apps???

Here is no lag on home screen, working perfectly. Try clear data on Touchwiz application (remember this restore all shortcuts and pastes to default).

I did that already , its not usual lag , it appears when closing apps in recents and scrolling home screens , and really is weird and looks like a bug or optimisation problem , it happens sometimes but not all the time , but app drawer opening and scrolling in menu is smoother and i can live with it , remember that we are using unsupported launcher so problems could happen even as far as phone not booting up or stuck at boot , also if any problem happens to our phone and we go to claim warranty at samsung , they will deny warranty as we are using unsupported software , happened with my friend who was using nova launcher.

Thanks mate

Bro i can confirm this , samsung pakistan sucks , my friend's phone got in a bootloop and hanged on startup , so he got in samsung care in lahore and they said its due to unsupported software installation and they didnt fixed it , he never knew a single thing about techs or rooting , he said he just installed nova launcher , after that i got his phone and did a factory reset and when i checked it wasn't rooted and knox warranty void was 0x0 , so after resetting i advised him to go in another service centre for his screen problems , and then they did repair with no issues , so these things may not happen in other countries due to strict customer protection laws , but i will advise anyone before going in service center always do a factory reset.

So no one else notices the extra and annoying padding at the top and by the dock when using any version of the S8 launcher on the S7 Edge? It's basically a deal breaker for me. If anyone has figured out how to get rid of the wasted empty space I'm all ears. I'm not rooted and on stock.

I am sorry but why would you need to do that on Phoenix ROM when the ROM itself includes Always on by default ?

Does it work on Nougat 7.1.1(Oxygen 4.7.6]also or not?
I’m really missing the much better quality and customizable AOD on Samsung device.
Current implementation with ambient display from OnePlus is totally crap.
No proximity sensor any more no interaction with notifications on screen.
Very very poor version from OnePlus.

I use Glance Plus wit the optional paid Always On feature. Works great. Only thing is it doesn't honor the Quiet times I set, used to work in 4.7.6, but does honor the Silent switch, but unless something triggers it to awake/sleep again, it won't go to sleep still automatically at night when I don't want it to work.
Also have tried Always On from the play store, it works good as well. Just not a fan of the sizing/font options on the free version, but it works well also.
Be nice if OnePlus can replicate the Samsung version...that thing is nice.

Unfortunately those app consume more battery than stock implementation from OEM.
I’ve tried in the recent past and battery drain was 3-4% per hour.
Considering that AOD at Samsung only loose 1% per hour that’s a significant increase in battery drain with third party app.

Good lord, instead of all the mumbo jumbo just install Omni ROM. Has AOD built-in and works perfectly. No muss no fuss

Samsung's version also does some hardware tricks like dropping the refresh rate and pixel clock and number of colors. The display hardware literally has a special mode to reduce power use that isn't supported by most hardware, or.if it is, it's not implemented by Android

It wouldn't work for me at first, but I got it working now. All you need to do is make sure ambient display is already turned on before you build/enable the Substratum overlay. Then follow the instructions in the OP.

New LG Home APK, Camera and more

7.20.56 is available on APK mirror. I wanted to give it a shot to see if there are any improvements and surprisingly it seems much smoother compared to previous versions and the best part is that it's compatible with Quick-Step so all gestures work correctly. You get a dark Google feed and it doesn't seem to be as slow and glitchy as it has been in the past. Also an update to the camera app is available as well that comes with a few new tricks as well! Does anyone know what phone these are pulled from?

Yep, once the app is "upgraded" (becomes a version other than the stock one (usually the one provided most recently through software updates from LG), a small menu becomes available in the app settings (ie App Info > Camera). This menu allows you to uninstall updates to the application and revert to stock.
I just uninstalled the latest camera update (the one listed here) since it didn't really change picture quality and has an icon for "Show new features" that crashes the app. I did update "Home" though and it feels a little better.

Weird, I don't have that icon. The Manual focus seems to be improved, and if you swipe and hold the shutter button left/right, or pinch the screen with a gesture it switches between wide and normal lenses. I don't remember if the previous version worked like that. I feel like AI mode works much smoother, and portrait mode with it's blur adjustment function is improved, but it could just be in my head.

You have to be rooted on Pie and have the Quickstep Magisk Module installed. Using a launcher other than the LG Home launcher, open the Quickswitch app and select LG Home as your recents provider. The module will run a script and reboot your phone. Once your phone restarts, then set LG home as your default launcher.

camera is worse and for sure is from another device

It's definitely for a different device, but I've had nothing but good results.
