[APP][BETA] Navbar Weather - weather forecast at your navigation bar - Android Apps and Games

What is "Navbar Weather"?
It's weather app that shows forecast in unique way - on navigation bar via eg. chart. So to use it you obviously have to have navigation bar in your smartphone.
How does it work?
I've been using Huawei Mate 9 for over a year now. It always pissed me off that I had to put a widget on the home screen to check the weather forecast. But hey, why not use navigation bar for the weather forecast? So I decided to develop some small app for my Mate 9, that can show weather chart for next 5 days (in 3 hours intervals) on Navbar. It's still in beta stage (please report me abut any bugs or new ideas in this thread before you rate it). It works pretty good for me, but for sure I know that there is a lot work to do.
So far Navbar Weather was tested only on my Mate 9, but it should work also on any other smartphone with Navigation Bar. It it also confirmed that app works on: Huawei Honor V10, Moto X4 (May 2018 Android 8.1), Samsung Galaxy devices with navigation bar.

This is pretty slick!!
Confirmed working on Moto X4 on May 2018 Android 8.1.
2 questions
1) Nova doesn't seem to allow the overlay when on home screen/app drawer, any way to allow that?
2) Each time i go in the app the Navbar Weather switch is off and can't turn it on unless i set location even though it's already being displayed.

2) Can I force one graph to be displayed at all times, instead of changing by time or by switching apps?

Thank you!
1) I need to investigate that, right now I'm on EMUI, never tested it with Nova. Let me investigate that, I'll try to answer you asap.
2) Just go to settings and select desired Forecast Data Types. You can select e.g. only temperature to force one graph. Also you can turn off Chart Carousel - then you can switch between charts by pressing home button

Found it, thanks! I'll try a few other launchers as well.
ADW 2.0 overlay is allowed.

Just checked out Nova with default installation and it seems to work fine with Navbar Weather on my Mate 9. Maybe it's some styling settings, I'm going to test it. Thank you very much for your feedback!

What weather provider is used in the app?

Currently for free I can use only Openweathermap.org, which can take some serious traffic.

Working fine on my Note 8.
But it closes when you get rid of the window in the task manager.

Thank you for your feedback! Now I know it works on Note 8.
Yes it closes when you get rit of the window in the task manager because some users complained they're can't close it normally. If you wish to let it run try to lock app with lock symbol at the task manager. Hope it helps

You are welcome.
Strange feedback you had because this kind of apps are meant to be left running (plus, you have a toggle on the main screen) ; like a widget you want it to be running and refresh informations even it you close the app, or else you just go to the internet for one time information about the weather.
For what I understood of the behaviour of android and its task manager now, it's only an badly made alt+tab like app switcher, not really a manager. If I close all the windows all it does nothing but not having a window history, and apps are still running and updating in the background, leaving doze and manufacturer's auto close/optimising built-in features to deal with what apps and when they have to run and be closed.
Maybe I'm wrong and it actually does more?
I just notice it follows the windows animations (using Nova launcher), so it appear somewhat in the middle of the screen before reaching the bottom when animation of complete. I don't know of you can force it to sick at the bottom?
Thanks!

There is many more strange feedback, like - "it doesn't work on my smartphone that doesn't have navigation bar"
Apps without any background or foreground services are destroyed if you close them in task manager. Navbar Weather is running together with foreground service that is responsible for forecast at navigation bar. Right now there is couple of lines of code inside main app that tells foreground service to shut down if main app is closed/destroyed. I can change that easily, so I'll try add something to settings so you can select if you wish to run navigation bar weather forecast even if main app was closed. Thanks for pointing me out that

You mean those app opening animations available in Nova Launcher? Right now I'm using it and it seems to work normally at my smartphone. I'll try to test Nova with Navbar a little more, maybe there are some style settings that cause this.

Thanks for pointed that out, I didn't know. That would be great.
I remember that some Samsung device doesn't have a nav bar because they got sensitive buttons under the screen on the frame, but I don't know how it behave at all then.
About Nova, I thought it happened with every opening animations but i was wrong, story.
But it actually happens every time when I press the home button from the home screen to open the search bar. It goes strange when the keyboard is popping out.

Please try out new 0.8.7 version of Navbar Weather I think it works now as it should, so even when you kill application in task manager Navbar Weather won't disappear.
That's right, devices with sensitive buttons under screen are not supported, if someone enable Navbar Weather - chart just won't appear.
About Nova, it looks like could be keyboard problem.

Great to hear that
Right now I'm planning to add UV index forecast, Weather Alerts (don't know yet how to put that on navigation bar, but it's just a plan right now), Air pollution forecast and in future - more weather providers to choose from. Currently trying to fix some bugs
Thank you very much for your support, if you have some ideas how to improve Navbar Weather - just let me know

App version is now 0.8.9.9, so most of bugs were fixed. Also now you can turn on UV Index forecast, which is really helpful to protect your skin.

[Tips] SPB Shell 3D - Theme

I wanted to start a separate thread for people using SPB Shell 3d to discuss tips, hidden features, requests, post pix, etc.
Please keep comments about the price of the app out of this thread!
====================
I'm currently running imilka's Gingerbread Sense v0.1 on my HTC HD2. On this build Shell 3D *flies* - much faster then Launcher Pro, ADW, and Zeam. It's not even close. I tried to go back my my Desire HD build, and I found it a bit slow on that build (and slowed the overall phone as well).
On my current build, battery use is excellent. With a low amount of use today, I've gone through 40% of my battery in 10 hours (60% left). This is early, but seems better then other shells, or at the least not worse.
It is running 36-40 megs memory while running on my phone.
Here's the combined note of requests I sent to them:
First, before I send the list, it's MOST important to keep the overall speed and lack of lag in Shell 3D. If any feature on the list causes a slow-down, I'd rather keep the speed.
Likewise, while a slightly larger memory footprint is do-able, I wouldn't want it to get much bigger (running memory).
I'm sure many, if not all of these things are not new to you, but here's the list of things I'd like to see in future versions. I emailed a couple tmes yesterday, but wanted to send a complied list:
- In the full Calendar page, I would love to see scroling to get to more events.
- Speaker of scrolling, support for scrolling widgets would be a major plus, but I wonder if this feature causes lags & slowdowns in other launchers.
- Missing Matching Widgets. I love the look of the 'glassy rectangle' in the Weather, Calendar, Favorites. I don't like how the SMS widget has it's own look (at least put the glasssy look in it). On the widgets to add, please add rss (a simple one, nogoogle sync needed), battery (matching glassy theme), twitter, facebook)
- Change Application Draw button (the one in the draw in the bottom right. I'd rather change that to my own app)
- Option to remove buttons from dock (perhaps have no buttons but the carousel button)
- A number of people don't like the Autosort. They want blank space at the top & to be able to put an icon on the bottom.
- Change Default apps (so when I click Calendar, it runs Pocket Informant)
- Gallery widget not working? I get 4 buttons. The far left one is a non-picture folder on my sd-card. The far right is the gallery app. The middle 2 are..??
- Can each screen have it's own background color (like in the carousel previews)?
- Option for no Text Labels for App Favorite Folders
(will probably be more in the future
Things I Think are Not Needed:
- Resize Widgets. I've seen a few requests, but I don't see too much need for this. Would be nice, but not urgent I think.
- Change Rows/Columns. Same as Resize. I think this would cause your own Widgets major problems, so probably can't do this one at all.
- Live Wallpaper. Likewise, doesn't work well with Carousels.
- Transition Effects. We already have the Carousel. I don't think more are needed.
One more minor request to add to the list.
I currently have the small 4x1 (or is it 1x4?) Weather Widget on my screen. I find the display with the current weather + next 4 days kind of squished, so I'm currently using the one with the bar graph on the left. The graph is cute, but functionally useless.
Possible to make a Weather widget like it, but replace the bar graph with a battery meter to match the weather look?
Also - when I click on the Weather, perhaps shift over to the full pane weather panel?
Likewise, when I click on the small 4x1 Calendar, when I click it, maybe go to the full Calendar page (or at least an app of my choice).
Speed is still amazing on my Gingerbread/Sense rom on my HTC HD2. Going to test going back to a more stable Desire HD build & see how fast it is.
Don't know if anybody else has this problem but for me it is a very bothersome BUG. It will allow me to android widgets on any panel. However, when I reboot the phone, the android widgets disappear every time. I am running it on my rooted Evo with CM7 installed.
* A search funktion in the app drawer would be great.
* Multiselect for adding apps into a folder.
* At the weather forcast the CPU goes up to max...great if that could be reduced.
* Select multiple cities for the weather (panel and widget)
i cant even run the app lol i have a sprint hero running cm7 rc4. and its suppose to run on all 2.1 and up devices. they even say its for the hero. its really bugging me cause i've been wanting this since they announced it.
Uh, SPB says for Hero on 2.1...did they say CM7? Maybe you need to go to stock...try it then complain please.

I'm using an Inspire and it runs fine. It does take literally 10 minutes to boot and "warm up", but its lighting fast after that. Been using it since the early test builds.
yeah i tried to open it but i just get a black scree. and then about 40 seconds later it just exits out to the previous screen i was on.

Assuming you mean the one with the picture of the person & a little button for dial and a button for sms - yes:
Add SPB Widget -> Favorite Contact (bottom right). Click the little + to add someone to the Contacts. Click the square on the far right to open up the folder. From this window you can drag your contact to the home screen. Click the green arrow on the contact to change the look to the one I mentioned (5 clicks).
waiting for the mods will be tough but I am trying my best to modify the look.

wrong thread
I have SPB shell 3D running on my Milestone. I am using the stock 2.1 rom. I couldn't get it to load on any of the 2.2 roms, but I didn't spend too much time investigating why. I have my Milestone overclocked to 900MHz with milestone overclock and have JIT enabled via openrecovery.
It runs quite well once it loads up. I used the "bulletproof launcher" script in this thread to keep the launcher from being closed, so far I have only had one or two crashes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
The gallery widget seems broken on my phone as well. The leftmost button loads a few random pictures, but the middle two buttons don't respond and the gallery launcher button does nothing, and then will put the phone into widget change/resize mode.
I find I didn't need any of my other widgets, but would probably use a good twitter/facebook aggregator. I haven't loaded pure messenger into it, but other android widgets appeared to work.
In 20 hours of uptime it has only used 5% of the battery, less than the phone being on standby, so I find it on par with Launcher Pro for battery use.
Hello, I install SPB shell 3D on my Motorola Defy and averything are running well, it's really the best interface. The only thing I would like to do is to display my own pictures in place of the one from Flickr, is someone find how to do that ?

I don't have a favorite contacts choice. The bottom right option is messaging for me. Do you have the market version installed or a beta?
Running on a 2.3 rom on htc desire and it works ok. Sometimes I have to reinstall app to get it to load. Contact widget doesn't show photos properly.

Ah ok I figured it out. This is really strange, you have to delete the default favorite contacts folder off the screen first. Then the option to add it as a widget appears. Really odd.

[APP][4.0+][v3.1]Quick Control Panel - SOURCE CODE AVAILABLE!

Upon the time a long ago
I had iPhone - of number four
A great device - you might have said,
But only anger mine was great.
Some toggles, widget, something? Where?
No, no, my boy, I'll be sincere
You don't need those, my boy, nowhere.
But then one thing suprised my mind
The music controls - little diamond!
And shortly after I've been hit
With the idea in forehead
"I'll make those controls, but not here.
Android phone - it will be great!"
So then Eclipse IDE I took
To look like real Java cook.
And then I coded very hard
And then this story calmly start...​
CURRENT VERSION: 3.1
You've definetely seen Control Center apps in Google Play. There is no doubt they are handy. Control your music, toggle some Wi-Fi like a boss...and that's from anywhere! Isn't it great?
"YAWN BUT I HAVE STATUSBAR".
Great, my friend, really great answer! But...Statusbar is:
a) On top of your phone, which can be a real pain in the afingers, if you have some modern phone with gargantuan 5inch display.
b) It can be unavailable in some apps.
c) Not every manufacturer puts some neat controls in your statusbar. And not all people love to see notification toggles as a separate notification.
So, if one of those three reasons are about you, then you have to try one of those Control Centers. But there is another problem.
THEY ARE ALL TRYING TO MIMICK iOS!
I mean, seriously?
I've bought my Android Phone because that's ANDROID! I don't want to have app that copies iOS interface!
So...here is where I step in. Or, more correctly, where my app steps in.
Quick Control Panel. It has the same idea as all of those Control Centers, but it's a different story.
I've designed it to be Android way. What does it mean?
Well...here is "what does it mean".
-It's Holo style.
-It's customizability.
-It means everything is working correctly.
What about customizability?
Well...you don't want to see music controls, but you want to see toggles? Fine, just disable music controls.
You want the opposite? Just do it, open the settings and change it.
You want different animation? Go on, select one that's suitable for you.
You want to swipe left to open app? Come on, you can do it.
You want to have your dock with flashy semi-transparent colors? Go on, you can choose your favourite color for everything.
You want to reorder your toggles? That's a piece of cake.
Want to have a brutal rectangle around your toggle icons, or want a clean icon without a border? Do it!
You want custom shortcuts icons? Just go and pick up photo of yourself for your favourite awesome app, because you are using this app, and all the people who use this app are awesome!
What about correct work?
Well, it's easy. If you see something on the screen - then it works.
Music controls? They work, they even show you your music artist and song title! That's because it acts the same as default Android lockscreen.
Want to toggle your Wi-Fi, data, sound mode? Do it!
Want to change brightness? Do it!
And about "control from everywhere". You can swipe to start this app, or you can just call it the same way you call Google Now. This is incredibly convenient when you're playing your favourite game with player on, and your the least favourite song kicks in(we all have the song which we don't really like but somehow keep them in our playlist). What do you do? Close your game, which will most likely result in lost progress? NO! You just open Quick Control Panel like a boss, and switch the song!
So, what are you waiting for? Ah, screenshots! Of course! Here are some:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

So, what are you waiting for now?
Go and grab this APK, and install it!

I like the idea, but 4.3 version just FCs on nightly 809 CM10.2 build. I tried disabling everything except music player control and it's still a no go.
Nicely made app, works very well...just not my cuppa tea.

Still hangs, but I didn't think an app would make it hang at the Samsung logo. I am starting to think it's the ROM not your app. Has anybody else have success running it on 4.3?

Wait. It hangs on Samsung logo? That's crazy. I thought that maybe Swipe Detector somehow kills it, because it starts on bootup, but now...I can't understand, really.

Samsung’s Good Lock app is a powerful lockscreen for your Galaxy S7 Edge

Bored of the default lock screen on Android devices, and specifically the one on your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge? Samsung thinks you could do with a more powerful lock screen and has launched an app called Good Lock on the Galaxy Apps store. Supported on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, Good Lock puts a ton of functionality right on your lock screen and notifications area.
From being able to keep some notifications in the notification shade for as long as you want to putting widgets on the lock screen for quick access, Good Lock offers a lot of features. It even replaces the notification shade with an interface straight from stock Android – a sign maybe that TouchWiz will one day be closer to Google’s version of Android (the removal of Samsung’s default music player from the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge is a big example of that possibility).
In fact, if Samsung does remove the app drawer from future iterations of TouchWiz, putting widgets and other advanced functionality on the lock screen would make sense, though whether Good Lock is truly useful in its current state depends on how keen you are on playing around with such customization. Good Lock is only available in the US for now, but we have the APK available for download for anyone who wants to try it out. There’s quite a lot inside Good Lock, and we’re currently testing it out for a full review.
Grab Good Lock from the Galaxy Apps store if you’re in the US or from the link below. In case you want to uninstall the app, you will have to head into its settings and hit the uninstall button as Good Lock replaces the entire lock screen and notification systems and can’t be removed like a regular app.

Wonder what Samsung is up to... this smells iOS blur and look at all these icons in the "preview" images, completely redesigned. Is it a glimpse of the new TouchWiz perhaps? Time will tell
This is a totally unexpected move and it has some quirks but gets me excited for the direction Samsung is going. So happy
Mike installed just fine and rebooted. It worked for some time, but then it needed to reboot again and it was uninstalled. Can this be because I'm not in the US?
I'm using this now. There are things I like and things I don't, and things that I don't find useful at all. But the notification handling is a major improvement over current Marshmallow (Touchwiz or otherwize).
One major improvement, for me: I have a Tasker profile for home that, under Lollipop, turns off my lockscreen completely when I'm at home. Just push the power button or home button and I go directly to my home screen. No fingerprint, no pin, no swipe. Real handy. But it stopped working on the Edge with Marshmallow.
With Good Lock, the profile works correctly again!
Nice move from Samsung. I installed it and customized, I moved all the shortcuts from the LS and added a Weather Timeline Widget to quickly check the weather. The notification bar looks more like stock Android but I don't like the recent apps at all. I really like to take a quick glance on what showed on apps I recently used.
Is there a way to change that purple notification pull down to a different color?

Yes. Go to the Routines settings and then Default and change.
a short video showcasing it's features.
Any way this can be ported down to Lollipop?
Is there a way to remove widgets, once added to the hidden widget area?
It keeps telling me to turn on Location Services. Does anyone know how to disable that annoying pop-up?
Anybody notice Multitasking has been changed also. Wow what a change. I do prefer a preview of my aps
I liked it, but it's too early days for me to use as daily driver. It kept resetting the settings so was useless. I'm very interested to see where this goes though...
EDIT: nevermind... I had the default plus other routines thing messed up. Back in business.
Only thing I don't like now is the completely lack of color consistency going on between my Touchwiz theme and this Lockscreen stuff.
I've installed this on my S7 edge this morning and I'm pretty surprised that it changes the UI quite a bit, some of it I like and some I don't, there's still plenty of room for development but I think I will stick with it for a few days for now.
My mine gripe is the colour scheme is very inconsistent, I have changed the base colour but the shade seems off...
It is a mess. A nasty mess that should be killed with fire.
It would be pretty great if the location issues could be settled. The creating routine thing is a bit silly, but I'm loving the AOSP look and what not

Plusses and minuses, positives and negatives.....
I LOVE the notification handling. So superior to everything else it's not even close. I'd pay plenty for an app that brought these capabilities to my phone.
The fingerprint scanner is WAY faster now. Essentially instantaneous.
I hate the loss of the regular Samsung settings toggles and the ability to customize the toggles that are shown. Standard Android is a giant step backwards here. Fewer toggles, and no choice as to what ones are shown: how can anyone consider that an improvement? Only Googlely fan-boys who think any that comes out of Google is automatically superior.
I've come to like the recent apps screen, although the animation is a bit much. With "stock" Android, you can only fully see the one card at a time, and after a few days the stack of cards is so long it's a nightmare to find anything. It's actually easier to recognize an app icon than the glimpse of a screenshot as you scroll through cards, and I can find what I'm looking for faster with this approach than with cards..
On screen widgets are, yet again, stupidly implemented. Let me put a widget ON THE LOCK SCREEN, not on a hidden screen that I need to scroll to. With a fingerprint scanner it's easier to unlock the phone than to display a hidden lock screen. I'm not using this option at all. (Widget Locker got this right 4 or 5 years ago, but sadly doesn't seem to work on Marshmallow. Why can't Google and Samsung figure this out?)
On screen apps aren't quite as useless. You can swipe on an icon, then use the fingerprint scanner to open it, but it's at least as easy, and probably faster, to just use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone. And I'm not sure why a tap on the icon forces you to use a pin, while a swipe lets you use the scanner. Why not default to the scanner on a tap, too? It would be nice if you could open these apps without unlocking the phone, but be locked out of anything BUT that app (sort of like pinning). Again, Widget Locker got this right.
In spite of what some seem to think, the color scheme can be modified, and made pretty neutral and reasonable in settings. I'd like more granular control, but what's there is tolerable. You can also set your own lockscreen wallpaper.
On balance, I like it. It's clearly a work in progress, but notification handling alone is worth it.
Unfortunately, I've had to uninstall it. It's too buggy to be my daily driver. The home button doesn't always work, sometimes requiring two taps, occasionally not working at all. Sometimes tapping on a notification doesn't do anything at all. But when it works, the notification capabilities are brilliant, Brilliant, I say! I'm already missing it.
Samsung Rep^
Hey guys i got a bug since it has uninstalled by itself... Now my lockscreen is all black. I can't even see the shortcuts, but if i go to the settings the phone says that i got a wallpaper already set. Is there anyone with the same bug?
Sorry for my bad english

Thanks for sharing. Tried a little bit but not convinced at least not for now. It might be just the beginning of smth cool unless samsung will just stop here with no more updates. We'll see.
BTW - the app uninstall after few minutes by itself so seems really just like an alpha for now.
Envoyé de mon SM-N920C en utilisant Tapatalk
It's not a lockscreen. Actually is a SystemUI replace. It disables the stock one and uses the downloaded one (package installer shows it as "SystemUI" instead of the app's name). Once installed the original SystemUI will be disabled and you will need to reboot to apply the new one.
It looks good. But as they said before it's more like an alpha rather than a finished product. Animations are a bit laggy, the only supported language is english and the settings menu lacks of vital things to make it worthy. Even the Recent Apps panel was replaced with a list which is not really useful at all.
I think that more languages, Theme store integration, improved performance and the good old multitasking menu would make this SystemUI perfect. Uninstalled for now, but I'm impressed because it's the first time I seen a SystemUI being replaced by an user app in the history of Android.
be careful. UI system is very unstable. I myself use samsung note 5 (920C) stock version. and to section Routines - I can once to change the configuration. if the second tries ,. the phone restarts and deletes installed Good Lock apk. and again it is a standard system UI.
anybody else having random reboot s ?
It's pretty much stable for me.. about 4-5 days using it and didn't have even one random restart!

How did you change colour i dont like purple
Sent from my SM-N920C using XDA-Developers mobile app
newer version out guys
hope it will fix the bugs
The Update is nice.
Basically to make the best use of this without issues, just edit the "Default" routine. Routines, as far as I can tell, just change functionality based on time and/or location. The Notification shade color uses the "Default", which I am guessing will change when alternate routines criteria are met.
I personally like the UI. The latest update adds screen brightness on the top minimum Quick Settings so you don't have to expand it.
Here are my settings:
Disabled the App tray on the lockscreen (I like a minimal lock screen)
Setup Default profile with a white/blue color palate and a personal choice of clock. Only have clock and notification widgets enabled.
Disabled the Lockscreen options (no color wallpaper or transition effect). Shares homescreen wallpaper with this option.
The Lockscreen Fingerprint reader works MUCH better than the stock Samsung one. AND it fixed the bug where it doesn't want to read a fingerprint on the pattern/pin screen. Plus it has a nice stock Android feel to the notification shade. The Swipe left to dismiss / swipe right to save notifications is a little hard to get used to. For me the swipe pattern for saving/dismissing notifications is backwards. The Recents menu is actually easier for me to use now. Easier to see a list of open apps vs scrolling a ton of times.
The only thing I don't like is:
Can't arrange Quick Setting icons in the Notification shade
Can't disable the Quick Launch icons in the Recents
Can't set a separate Lock Screen wallpaper.

Thanks good idea!!There is a bug that even if I don't choose launcher,app desapears from it also..
Hi,
can you explain the bug better
You mean when selecting the apps?
If you don't choose launcher the app wont show in the launcher
The options are:
Disable: will only disable the application
Launcher: will Only add the app to the launcher
tap on the app Name: will disable it and add it to the launcher, also the application will be added to the list of apps to disable when press the disable button in the launcher
if you still think is a bug, can you please explain better
Thanks!
I mean,both by selecting launcher option or not,app doesn't appear on launcher.Maybe I didn't understand how app works!Also is this view normal?Can't i just set app to open normally and not like curtain like this?Also when i uncheck an app,then it's name disappears.(see *****ute)Thanks!!

Sure, that's nice, I will add that option in the next realease!
Thanks!
Nice thank you! I'm looking forward to see this feature. The ability to reorder tabs would be nice as well.
It also could show addotional information about the apps in the selection menu, like the path for example so you know what you disable.
Updated with new features:
Option to enable All apps in a Tag
Option to disable All apps in a Tag
Option to Move a tag to the left or right
Option to Show gray Icons for disabled apps
Was recommended this app since icebox seems like it's pulled from appstore. This looks actually amazing, and hardly much out there related for similar apps. Thank you so much! I'ma try it now.
Edit:
So I do notice some things that could be improved, but thought I'd provide feedback. Regardless, I love it.
First is a screen off, to auto disable the packages. 2nd, is when the package name is too large, it removes the ability to see the toggles. 3rd, if uninstalling, the packages disabled stay disabled, even after reboot. Fortunately, it seems to detect packages that are still disabled, if reinstalled, but it's definitely a small scare initially, I think. And if could, would like an option for icon resizing.
But just thought I'd chime in. Regardless, thank you! I love it.
Hello,
Thanks for the comments, those are great ideas, I'll try to add some of those features soon
Really cool Aceventura. Thanks for this app.
I will give you my personal feedback, but I am aware it may not be aligned with your view of the app.
Anyhow, here it goes. Your app has two main funcionalities, launcher and hibernator.
The first one, launcher, is a tough one. There are hundreds of launchers around, and truth is that users are never fully pleased. Hence why there are so many. The development of this part could be quite complex too, depending on the amount of features.
The second functionality, is where your app shines (from my point of view). I would suggest to focus the app on this part, and let the launching to whichever the user launcher is.
Basically, have different hibernating condions (e.g. timeout after usage, timeout after screen off, manual), and launch via shortcut or dummy app.
Personally I think dummy app has advantages from the usage point of view because it is easier to search with the launchers and can be placed in both areas, desktop and drawer. But I am also aware that it may be slightly more complex.
In any of the cases, thanks again
Hi rodovict,
Thanks a lot for your comments!
About the "launcher" I think is been misunderstood, My Idea es not to be a launcher app, it's just a view to show the applications list in the app
I like the ideas for auto hibernate, I hope can add those options soon along other one I'm currently developing
Thanks Again!

Firstly, thank you for your work. I have been looking to replace icebox for I dont know how long but could not find any app that was capable of doing that.
I quickly ran a test. Auto disable on screen off does not seem to be working.
I'm using OnePlus 6 and on the latest stable. Once my screen turns off, the app continues to show on my regular app launcher (nova). Also, if I see the disbaler apps launcher, the app shows there with white text indicating it has not been disabled. For the autodisable I have selected 0 in the settings.
Here is some feedback which other users may also have suggested.
-Widget/Shortcut to "defrost" all apps enable all apps in click so that we can update them (playstore updates)
-Widget/Shortcut to freeze/disable all apps so that I can disable all the apps that I had selected in the disabler app.
-Fingerprint authentication to do the above activities would be great.
- Ability to create shortcuts to individual apps within the disabler to launch them. Instead of opening the the launcher of disabler and then launching them.
-A way to backup the settings and the list of apps which are disabled would be great. this would immensely help when I flash a new rom and i need to setup the disabler app on that.

Hi,
Thanks for doing the test!
I have checked here, and sometimes when you first change the value it does not trigger the auto disable on screen off
But a couple of minutes after looks to work OK
If you still having the problem, please provide your Android Version so I can check further
I will take a look to the suggestion as well and hope to add to the app soon!

Hello syedtahir16,
I have tried with multiple devices running Andoird 10 and seem to be working OK
Just to clarify the process, can you confirm you are doing this:
1. Select some apps to auto disable, In the apps List option you have selected (tapping n the app name) some apps to auto disable
If you tap just in the disable checker, it will disable but will not be in the auto disable list
if you tap just in the launcher checker, it will show in the app launcher but will not disable it
You have to tap in the app name to add it to the auto disable list​
2. in the App settings, set the option "minutes to auto disable apps after screen off" to something different than disabled
3. go back to the main screen and enable/open any app from the auto disable list, (some app you have selected in step 1)
4.Turn off screen or wait to turn off automatically
5. Wait the amount of minutes you selected (in step 2) with the screen off
if you turn on the screen before the amount of minutes selected(in step 2), the process is cancelled until next time screen is off​
6. Turn on the screen
The app should be disabled
I am attaching and APK with some logs enables for the Screen receiver function
If you confirm you are doing the process right, please install this version of the app
Run the process as described before (you can skip step 1 if you already have some apps in auto disable list)
set the minutes in option 2 to zero (0) for this test
After running the process please take a logcat and send me the file so I can check it
For capturing the logcat you can use this app, or any other you want
SysLog (Capture log files) - https://f-droid.org/app/com.tortel.syslog
Just need to select the Main log(logcat) option, not any other log is nesessary
Capture the log just after turning on the screen ( Step 6)
