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

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

this is a great idea! good job man

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

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

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

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

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

[APP][4.3+] New launcher for WeTek Core

If you wanna help debugging this new launcher I have created feel free to download it and report in this thread any error or crash you might experience.
In case of crash try to replicate it and, please, include logcat.
You can't use this launcher on the Play running WeTek OS because it requires at least Android 4.3 for the notification APIs but if you are using my CyanogenMOD build you can use it on the Play as well (but you might need to use a keyboard to access some of the functions since they are mapped for Core's remote).

Instructions
Download the zip file containing the apk, unzip it and install the apk using your preferred method (using adb install, copying it to a MicroSD card and installing it using a file manager, etc.)
As very first thing allow the launcher to access the notifications in "Settings -> More Settings -> Sound & Notification -> Notification access".
I have created this launcher for being light and very easy to use, in fact using the Core you will do most of the actions using the * (star) button (if you don't have the Core's remote you can achieve the same with F6 button on a keyboard).
In the top row you have the notifications, you can click with OK button on them to open them in a popup or you can dismiss the selected notification without opening it using * button.
In the second row you have the highlighted apps section, the middle icon is the app drawer. From the drawer you can add the selected app to the list of favourite apps (the third row in the home of the launcher) by pressing * button, you can also long press OK to access to the app information menu where you can uninstall/disable the app, clean the cache or data, move the app to the sd, etc.
The third row, as previously said, has a list of favourite apps. You can re-arrange them by long pressing with OK on one of them (you will see that the app rectangle has a blue border, meaning it's been selected), moving to the position where you wanna put that app and long press OK again to swap the two positions (it's easier done than said), if you long press with OK on the same selected app it will clear the selection.
To delete a favourite app use the usual * button.
The last row has three icons, one for the connectivity (showing if you're connected by ethernet, wifi, or not connected at all) that will launch network settings when clicked; one that will launch android settings and another one that shows the weather and, once clicked, will show a popup with a 5 days forecast (from this popup you can toggle C/F degrees by pressing, guess what? * button
)

20151029:
- Added a colored circular reveal animation in the home section when interacting with objects that launch something

New version.

4.2
And for 4.2?

It is not possible because the notification listener requires 4.3, and integrated notifications is one of the best things of this launcher imho

This is what I want! Works on any android box?
Thanks for the launcher

the link is broken

I would recommend advertising this as a TV box launcher and keep developing on that niche. There are not nearly enough decent TV box launchers available. The one that Tronsmart uses is really good, but that's the only other one that I like. I didn't know what this was, but if people know its a TV box launcher they may be interested.

Launcher look fantastic,but link is broken.Please, fix it

Can we get a new link or a mirror please?

[Launcher][5.0+] Fast Draw

I wanted a launcher that immediately shows the installed apps and has an option to categorize them. As I couldn't find one I liked, I decided to make Fast Draw.
It's basically an app drawer without support for widgets (but it does support shortcuts) and it's somewhat configurable. That's about it, it's a pretty simple little launcher.
Please give it a try and leave a comment (I have only tested it on two devices so far, please let me know of anything unusual).

Very fluid on my Oneplus One, currently running the SultanXDA Cm14.1 ROM. All the pref settings seem to work, no problem at all. A very nice launcher for anyone wanting to get right down to business when they turn on their phone, and can do without all the eye-candy of transitions and tons of widgets. Perhaps you might consider enabling just one or two widgets sometime in the future for display on the Home category tab.. All in all, I believe it to be a great start, for what it is.

As far as attaching image files of any sort, I believe all you need to do is to scroll to the bottom of the message pane in the "Additional Options" section, and select "Attach Files" manage attachments. I'll give it a test here to confirm...

Nevermind, I see you figured it out...

Nice job :good:

Works on my tablet with android 5.0.1.
It would be great if we could place the apps freely (to have them organized in way comfortable for us), since it's simple and clean it runs very smooth. It feels like the screen is bigger ?.
My only "worry" is that it consumes more than default (launcher3) even though it has less stuff, so idk, hope to see how you improve this app~

Could you tell me the numbers? I also noticed that it consumed a lot more RAM, until checking launcher3's memory use in Android Studio, and noticing it's a much bigger number than it says on the phone. In Android Studio's monitor both apps seemed to use about the same amount (if not using widgets in launcher3). I don't know why there's a difference.

Numbers? (Sorry I'm not very experienced with android related stuff) but well, I checked the ram usage as soon as I went home and it was consuming around 20mb, whereas launcher 3 was consuming 15mb. The difference is not much but as a simple launcher I thought it would consume less.
Maybe making an option to add the apps like the "shortcut" option on old androids 2.3.6 (like, holding tap then finding the app) that way it doesn't have to load all the app icons on the tab of "unmoved apps" ).

Looks like something to do with the weather, you have a storm/rain forecast on the other widget
Check different weather apps / widgets

Yes, it's removable. It's a blue GPS raindrop/teardrop trying to locate your current location for an app (lication).
Do the following:
1. Go to home screen and TAP bottom right (APPS), and proceed to SETTINGS.
2. TAP SETTINGS.
3. OPEN CONNECTIONS and TAP BLUETOOTH [2nd option] OFF (Just momentarily)
4. TAP LOCATION [9th option] OFF (Just momentarily) while still in Connections via SETTINGS.
5. In Settings go into NOTIFICATIONS to TURN OFF ALL APPS Getting Notifications (Just temporarily)
6. Last go into Settings, DEVICE MANAGEMENT and FIX ALL that is needed or where you see a number. Once your device is at 90% or higher, BEST @ 100%, THE GPS RAINDROP/TEARDROP IS GONE.
Problem Solved.
Now you can proceed to turn on whatever you want on, such as:
Bluetooth On,
Location On, and
ALL APPS Notifications ON (Pushable).

I searched for but I can not find any setting to disable that drop.Is it possible to be from something else?

I'll try what you said.Thank you.

Best to just Google search for possible fixes, that's all I did
Seems like no-one knows exactly what causes it

I searched google for a few days in a row, but I did not find anything about it

Maybe it's more related with a bug in the system UI, because to me it doesn't look like a blue drop, but more like those "handles" to select text, don't you think?
If you remove your Clock/Weather widget, does the drop still appear? It could be a bug with your widget.
Also, if you try to click that "blue drop", what happens?
It seems like you've used an alternative launcher, an alternative clock/weather widget, alternative icons etc... So to investigate this, I would start looking in the apps I installed that have something to do with the customization of the home screen.
I hope this helps ; )

Blue tear drop
I got this in the middle of the home screen. Tapping it moved it to the top left. I rebooted into safe mode then from settings-apps-advanced-apps that can appear on top, disabled ones I thought had no need to do this. Skyp and samsung pay are two I don't use and disabled this permission (amongst others). Upon rebooting, the drop is gone. I should maybe pin this down to find the exact app but can't be bothered. Also this is disabling the drop but possibly not whatever it was representing.
Hope this helps.

It is a bug from messenger. Idk why, but if you're using the chat heads, you're typing something, and then minimize the chat, this blue drop can appear. I guess it's a bug from s7 Nougat, because since I updated to Oreo this bug has never happened to me again. But if you're on Nougat yet, you can do these steps to remove the drop:
1: In the recent apps tab, messenger must be there. If it is not, then open messenger, and go to home screen again.
2: Grab the messenger chat heads, and slide it into the bottom of the screen to remove it.
3: Now go to the recent apps tab, and remove messenger.
This should close messenger, and the blue drop should be gone.
I guess you can also go into settings, apps, messenger, and force stop, then the blue drop will be gone as well(but doing the steps above is easier), and then you just open messenger again, and whenever this drop appears, you just close messenger again.

Forse stop Facebook messenger and open it again
Its a bug ?

Privacy Dots​
Powerful app that indicates whether other apps or services uses your location, camera and microphone. Be aware, after granting any of those permissions to an app they can use features without your knowing or as we call it "spying".
This app will help in that manners
Location permission
Use location permission to determine when other apps are using location access to share your current location.
Privacy Dots does not use either share or store your location, instead, permission is just used for detecting whether other apps or services use the location access.
Accessibility service
Enabling accessibility service is required to enable privacy monitoring which detects whether the applications have used your hardware such as camera and microphone.
All information received during app active time will stay locally (on your device). Once the app data is removed or uninstalled everything will be removed.

Thanks for your reply. Later today or till the end of a week, I'll add more customization, such as position, color, etc. It'll be fun ^^
Also planning to do several behaviors when they do appear and disappear from the screen.

does this work only for third party apps accessing the cam / mic / gps, or does it work when system apps access them too?

It works for both.

just trying it out, looks great so far!
i noticed that for me, the bottom location options are incorrectly labelled:
choosing 'bottom left' actually displays the dot bottom right
choosing 'bottom center' actually displays the dot bottom left
choosing 'bottom right' actually displays the dot bottom center
but those are easy to work around once you know.
wish list stuff would be - a true custom colour picker (not just from preset default choices), and moving the dots to the status bar.
great job! i really like it
