Won't switch to the app when I tap it. Also didn't start with system automatically even though I set it to.

Installed the update. Still not working, only now it is worse than before.
It still wouldn't allow me to switch apps, it still didn't launch on phone boot up, but now the update prevented me from being able to install apps from the Amazon App Store. I'd hit the install button after the app had downloaded, but it wouldn't register the button press. I could hit the cancel button though just fine. Play Market apps installed just fine. As soon as I Force Stop Fast5, I cold install apps from Amazon just fine.

Very weird. It works perfectly on my device (SGS2) and my friends devices and all emulator devices (2.1+) and i do not get other complains... what's going on?
Have you installed custom rom or something? Do you see all 5 icons? After pressing nothing happens? Or an error?
I would understand if you'd get some errors, but if it's not booting with the device? There is no way it won't boot at normal device configuration...
Thank you for you cooperation!
Have a look...:
see it in action
I think it's isolated issue but I'll try to fix it for you if you'd like to use this app . Wain for report (if you sent it)

Works fine for me. Absolutely perfect!

its a simple task switcher. didn't see any task "manager" function in app(where we able to kill tasks). or it will be available in the future updates?

Yep it's a switcher. Will change topic name, sorry. But it works fine for you, right?

It works now on ICS too. There should be a new version active on the market within 1 hour (as always). There was one issue. Fixed.

I will test it. Great job
Edit: "error process buy" say my market
Defy > Defy+
Sorry my bad english

Error process buy? Lol... it's free. Did you try do it from the PC? Market kinda buggy thing. Thanks!

I had no problems with installation nor application so does my friends .

Updated version has been released. Should be working fine for everyone, regardless of Android version (2.1 +).
Try it

the update fixed task-clicking on ICS
- could you please add #111111 as an background color option? that's the color used by android for notification backgrounds
- when opening notification area the icons reorder after like 1-2 seconds. I guess that's because the app isn't running in bg permanently but it's still quite annoying, especially when you're just about to hit one of the icons and then it gets replaced with a adifferent one
- is it possible to have more than 5 apps? (yeah yeah, then the name wouldn't make sense anymore, but...) there's so much whitespace between the icons, it'd well fit 7 of them

Sure. No problem. Download an updated version (should appear on the market within one hour) and tell me if you'd like something more. Everyone else too . I'll see what i can do.
As for 7 icons instead of standard 5 on really large screens: could you please send me an email or post me here if you don't mind everyone looking how do it looks on your screen?
Thanks!

thanks for adding ICS color.
for large screen: just turn your phone 90° to widescreen and you can see it for yourself
any idea about the slow updating?

Check out the newest update (v 1.08). Tick a checkbox in preferences, restart an app and see if that fits your needs . As for more than 5 icons - i'll figure it out if you want to
Cheers!

seems good so far. will report back after some more usetime when it's got a bit more to do than show low-memory-apps what does the checkbox do? start a persistant service?
could you please close the notification bar when selecting an app? always makes me think the click wasn't registered.

No, it just shortens update time . Don't worry if it works right . As for notification: will put an option to do so shortly.
Cheers!

This app blocks the 3rd Party App Install on my device (Motorola Defy). You can still press the cancel button, but the install button has no function.
Tested it on a custom CM7 Version and on a Official CM7 Version(with fullwipe).

Hi. Nice app. But I am having a problem. Most of the time, only a white border will appear around my screen, but no screenshot was taken. I had to close/reopen app, or try numerous times.
Android 7.1.2, OnePlus One

Hammer, Thank you !!!!!!

Just to confirm, this worked perfectly on my Huawei Mate 9 running Android 7.0 Nougat with EMUI 5.0. Yes I know EMUI already has this feature built-in, but just chiming in to say it works

How do I return the long press to Google Assistant if I uninstall?

I have only one Problem, OK Google don't work any more.

Go to settings and search for "assist". You should find a setting to set the default assistant app. Choose the Google App.

When you change the default Assistant app, I believe you have to go into the Google App's settings once again to enable "OK Google" voice detection

This app replaces Google Assistant which is responsible for OK Google. Maybe I could fix it somehow. I'll look at this problem.

Wow, this is extremely responsive on both my axon 7 and oneplus 3.
I would definitely be willing to pay extra for a version with a scrolling screenshot.. This app is too good!!! ?? Excellent work!

You can see in 1st attachment, there is a white border, but after that, nothing happen. Also sometimes, very rarely, the screenshot taken after a few seconds that white border gone.
In 2nd attachment showing that I excluded this app from battery optimization.
If you cant figure it out, maybe a logcat can help? I can try to get it if you want. This app is supercoll because my power button will be dead soon, so Im trying to use my power button lesser than before.

Why is it targeting a website upon capture? I could be wrong but my internet filter is blocking it

Such behavior indicates that something is killing Screenshot Assistant.
I've seen on the screenshot, that you're using Greenify. Make sure Screenshot Assistant is excluded from Greenify's hibernation.

On oneplus 3 you can take a long screenshot. If you have an article it can scroll down and capture more than just size of screen. Like doing a panoramic pic but vertically

Interesting. It works only in a browser or also in applications like Messenger or Phone contacts? Does it work with Google Chrome?

Can you add status bar and soft navigation bar in the screenshot?
Thank you very much!

I'm afraid I can't add status bar and navigation. The app receives screenshot from the system after you hold Home button. System sends it without status bar and navigation bars, so I don't have a control over it.

Thank you. Keep going bro.

Doesn't working for me on LOS 14.1!
EDIT: Yes! Working now! All I had to do is change Long Press Setting on Buttons!
Btw, great app!

Works well on my Samsung Note 4.
Shame it can't be installed on my Samsung Tab S2 or Tab A tablets, it says device not compatible. Is there any reason why you prevent it from being installed on tablets?

Listing Battery optimisation troubles (apps stop, after locking phone)

If you have apps that stop , when your screen goes black, manually (power button), automaticlly ( depends of your sleep settings), or after a notification.
But you have already desactivate the "close after screen locked option" for this app...
Please report here with your firmware and phone version, the apps affected and the one working well for you.
Settings pages Screenshots would be helpfull.
Maybe Honor could do something abou it...

My case :
Honor 8 - FRD-L09 - B389 firmware version (rooted)
I had the same problem with B381. I think, but not absolutely sure, problems started with update from emui 4 to emui 5 (I don't remenber the build version).
So, I have an app "Podcast addict", 80 percent of time when my phone screen goes black 3-4 sec after, the app stop playing, same problem after receiving a notification when listening... It s happening when I lock the screen, manually (power button), automaticlly (going to sleep mode after 2 min, or other setting), or after a notification.
I have desactivate the "close after screen locked option" for this app :
screenshot 1

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Set to "don't close" in "lock screen cleanup" options :
screenshot 2
When I use the "optimizer" widget, the app stay alive :
screenshot 3
But when I use the "optimize" option in battery settings, my app is killed, and sound stop :
screenshot 4 and 5
When I look at the "Battery settings" ( the gearing, up right), my app isn't in the "power intensive app history", and neither in "history of closed app" :
screenshot 6, 7 and 8
My temporary fix, not allways working : I hit play, manually lock the screen, unlock (fingerprint) and lock manually again... But still, when there is a notification 2-3 seconds after my app stop playing....
:silly::silly:

That might have been the solution all along. Remember I told u that I didn't have an issue like that. It turns out that for me chrome didn't have that option turned on.

Glad to hear it's working for you. I know how frustrated I was with Pocketcasts closing when the screen locked. It was just luck that I stumbled across this solution. Hopefully this solves your problem completely.

Android 11 MIUI 12 Full screen gestures problem

Does anyone else have an issue on 12.2.4.0 where you cannot use another launcher with the system gestures? It's really frustrating I hate the system launcher and I don't like the navigation bar either and I don't know how to make the full screen gestures work with lawnchair launcher or even nova
If anyone knows any workarounds or fixes can you please let me know

hi
i have same prob with miui 12.2.2 version and none of the gestures apps working.

I have the version 12.5 xiaomi.eu and the gestures with external launchers do not work either. I think it's an Android 11 issue that launchers developers need to fix.

try to use "fluid n.g." app for gestures!
you can try " gesture-control pro" app too.
btw. to work with nova (6/7) you have to set poco as the system launcher!
Please enable poco gestures after installing gesture app.
If poco is not running as the system launcher, you will loose taskmanager function!! (recent app)
Be sure, that developer option "miu optimizing" is set to on!
Otherwise you will get a lot of problem's too.
tip:
it can be helpful to set nova and setup icon to be used at the lower side of home screen. So you will be able to switch fast to nova if it necessary.

Hey, man,
This actually worked! Thank you - for the time being it is a decent solution.
Just note that fluid ng must be kept running in the background - the moment you kill it from Recents, gestires are gone.

Yes, you have to protect it against killing by the system!
1.) Battery optimization for this app set to "off"
2.) Recent task list -> Fluid N.G."locked"
3.) App setup for Fluid N.G. " running in backround "
4.) app energy management " no limits"
5.) Autostart for this app " on"
It's a little bit tricky for xiaomi miui

I would to report this issue exist maybe in all xiaomi miui 12 phones. 139 days ago reported mi 10 in reddit. Now I will report I am using latest Poco F3 and this issue still exist. Seems xiaomi never bothered to fix the issue.

I don't think they will ever fix it because they don't care about 3rd party launchers.

Unfortunately the app I tested I would not recommend it can suddenly stop working I was stucked. Lucky I didn't buy it yet. Xiaomi is we can hope more ppl complains to them. I wish 3rd party apps would have worked.

This is so mad. I had this problem on my Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G after the upgrade to Android 11 and now on my brand new Poco F3 this problem still persists.
That's just their way to force users to use their own launcher...
Okay Xiaomi as you wish ... I will flash a custom rom when they are available for the F3.

Question Best fully working Gestures app for MIUI13?

Have been a great fan of Vivid Navigation Gestures for years, until I switched over to Xiaomi 12S Ultra and realized I couldn't make it work despite disabling all battery optimizations & enabling all permissions. Which gestures app can work properly without it closing by itself after long lock periods, and allow me to disable the navbar?

all of them can do it you just need to know what to change in miui settings.
I use FNG.
* disable miui battery optimization
* enable autostart
* go to apps -> system app settings -> security -> boost speed -> lock apps (enable fng)
* pull down notification shade and switch to toggles, click on the edit icon. drag the fng toggle to your "added toggles"
in the rare case where FNG is shut down you can just pull down the toggles shade disable enable it and you're back in business.

I have already done all these but VNG still shuts down way too often ( I have to re-enable maybe >10x a day). Any other settings I'm missing?

any thoughts?

Try FNG instead. I got max 3 restarts a day

3 a day is still a lot. Is there any gestures app that has a no-kill notification service?

In addition, that app was not maintained since 2019

3 is better than 10, I don't know why it happens. If you are rooted you can try making this an admin app. Maybe that will prevent it from restarting

is there any easy way to root the phone without bricking it? Thank you.

This is the solution. Need to stop Miui from closing app.
Swipe up and hold to enter app tabs. Press and hold on FNG, then press the lock icon.
This stops the system from closing.

as shown in screenshots above, locking it doesn't prevent auto-close by system.

Oh I forgot to mention I'm on Xiaomi.eu rom.

can I port to eu ROM while maintaining all my apps, configs, settings?

No. It may be a different ROM branch and may have different partition differences as well as system apps being non Chinese versions. You might find it just boot loops if you do.
Just make sure you back everything in Google back up and have it set for auto restore and most settings and apps will get put back on with settings via the Google back up after you configure the Google account once flashed and formatted.

Finally I think I found a way to make FluidNG working without any breaks. Just use tasker and create a task that FluidNG (or your favourite gesture app) starts when you unlock your screen. Second: launch app "go to home screen". That's it. Working for a few days perfectly.
