manage your phone with style.

-Multitask
-Multiple Effects
Explanation
The idea of this application is to
provide you the opportunity to
manage the applications of your
phone. Window3DManager has the
following functions:
The Running Task Switcher, which
displays the currently open
applications and gives the user the
possibility to open it or put it on hold.
Sometimes when we are using an
application, we want to open another
without closing the current one, for
that Window3DManager has a
shortcut on the phone status bar,
which opens over the current
application, in order to open another
application without closing the
current one. There’s three ways to do
that:
-Through the Recent Task Switcher,
which as its name implies, shows the
recently opened applications.
-With the Running Task Switcher.
-And finally with the Creator of Tasks,
which displays all the applications
installed on your phone, and it has
the ability to open one or more of
these at once.
There’s a Tools function, which allows
us to enable or disable a system
configuration such as data traffic, wifi,
etc with a single click. This feature can
be opened from the application itself
or with a widget that can be added to
the "Home Screen". This tools helps
us to speed up the process of
opening an application.
The Window3DManager Memory
Optimizer, which allows us to choose
whether we want to close an
application that is running or put in a
wait state, the last one releases the
resources consume of the application
and these resources reintegrate to the
system when open it again, this help
the application to open faster.We can
also choose whether we want to put
an application on hold or closed.
Instructions for Use
A click on the Window3DManager
shortcut , show the Running Task
Switcher, which the applications can
be opened with a click or can be
pressed for about three seconds to
put it on hold. We can also slide the
screen up to open the manager
Window3DManager functions, down
to open a view of the Running Task
Switcher on a Grid form, and to the
right and left to see the running
applications.
The Recent Task Switcher and the
Tasks Creator are easily accessible
with the function manager of
Window3DManager or pressing the
menu button of the phone. In this
functions by simply pressing the
application icon, it will open the
application or selecting the "check
box" in the case of the Tasks Creator.
System tools can be enabled and
disabled with one touch in the icon. In
addition, to entering the second
screen tools you have to slide your
finger up.

Bubble Launcher is an 'always on top' side launcher for Android OS. It can be used on top of every opened app.
The starter halo hotspot is made as floating system window, so it can be on top of everything on screen!

-standard listview

HowTo use builtin 'Floating Notifications'
If your device runs Android 4.3 (and only than!), you can use the builtin 'Floating Notifications'. This may be useful, if you want to use your device in full screen mode.
To activate 'Floating Notifications' you have to download and install NLSHelper.apk (see attachments below...).
This APK will be installed as a Bubble Launcher module hidden from Appdrawer/Home Launcher.
After installing this module you have to activate the Notification Access Policy in SETTINGS/SECURITY/NOTIFICATION ACCESS by ticking the checkmark for NLSHelper!
(Bubble Launcher tries to guide you automatically to related Settings Panel after Installing NLSHELPER. If it doesn't happen, please go manually to SETTINGS/SECURITY/NOTIFICATION ACCESS for activating the policy.
If you have completed these steps, Bubble Launcher will intercept incoming notifications from gmail, sms/mms, google+, google search, whatsapp and similar apps.
(Only push notifications, no ongoing notification, will be intercepted!)
When a push notification is received an notify icon will be displayed in Bubble Launcher's Hotspot Bubble and a notifying Label will be displayed near the bubble.
If You Click on the notify icon in bubble, the notify label will be updated and displayed again.
Click onto the label for opening the notifying app.
Swipe from notify icon to down, for updating the push notification queue.
Swipe from notify icon to up, for clearing the push notifications queue.
HowTo use 'Custom Themes'
For trying out custom themes, download customThemeSample.zip (see attached files below).
Unzip this file to your root folder of your devices sdcard. After unzipping you will get two files:
1. old paper blue-16776961.blt
and
2. old paper gray-11446940.blt
(Don't touch the filenames or file name extensions of these two files! - Or the import will fail!)
if they are in the root folder of your devices sdcard, you can open Bubble Launcher's Settings Panel by its the App Icon in Home Launcher.
-Tap on 'Select Custom Theme ' in settings panel.
-Tap in the opening list on 'Import Themes'
- a Toast Message should notifying about successful import...
After that you can Tap on 'Import Themes' again and you can select one of the two freshly imported custom themes.
So you will see what you get...
That's all...
A detailed documentation for 'making your own themes' will follow later here!
HowTo 'Sort App Icons in custom Order'
Since Ver 2.0 of Bubble Launcher you can change the order of App' Icons in the Favorite Panel View.
To change sort order - open Favorite Panel by the related swipe action (i.e. swipe from Hotspot to left).
On the bottom of panel you find a Label called 'SORT ICONS'. - Tap on that - All Icons will begin wobbling...
Single Tap on an icon, that should be going to new position - the Icon's background color should change to orange color.
Now tap on an Icon at the position, where you want to get your 'marked app icon' - the order should be changed now!
If you finished sorting, tap again on 'SORT ICONS'.
The new sort order will be saved and used in Favorites Panel, Favorites List (and in Circle Launcher View, if you use full version of Bubble Launcher).
HowTo 'Use Custom Icons From Free Icon Packs'
Since Ver 2.0 of Bubble Launcher you can use free ADW-compatible icon packs to select single custom icons per app in Bubble launcher.
There are many free ADW icon packs available on Play Store or on other resources.
Support for Payed Icon Packs is not implemented atm.
The following steps should guide you for use of such icon packs.
1. Install at least one of those Free Icon Packs
2. Start Bubble Launchers Settings panel via it's Icon in Home Launcher
3. Tap on 'Edit/Sort Favorite-Icons' - a special Favorite Panel View should be opened.
4. Long Press the Icon you want to change to custom.
5. A share menu for installed Icon/Theme Packs should be opened.
6. Select the pack of your choice - If you have more than one icon pack installed - use 'only this Time' (to have the choice option later).
7. The Icon-Overview of your selected Icon Pack should be opened.
8. Tap on an Icon of your choice to select.
9. Tap the back button.
10. Your App Icon should be changed to the one of your choice.
that's all.
I'm working on the support for Payed Icon Packs for a later version of Bubble Launcher.

Thanks, looks cool.

Nice! Just bought the app. I've noted one minor problem though... If you launch the blacklist editor and then try to scroll it up to see more applications, it disappears and the settings window returns. This makes is practically impossible to blacklist apps that require the list to scroll to see.
Other than that, it makes a great addition to GloveBox and Gravity Screen. Looking forward to see where this project goes.
Thanks

Uhh... just to add to this... the problem only seems to occur if the Bubble hot spot is located on the left side of the screen. When on the right side of the screen I'm able to access the full blacklist listing.

Looks cool! What's the paid version called in the Play store? (can't find it)
Never mind, found it. But when I click on an app in the launcher they only come up full screen, not floating.
Never mind again, just saw that if not on a PA ROM apps only open in full screen mode.

Good launcher, I test it
hello i just bought the app,could get quite handy i think.
Some suggestions though.
1.Favorite only mode or maybe all other apps as an expendable tab or something like that that can be closed to make it cleaner for me people who mostly use the favorites.
2.customizable line height.I would like ti see more lines of apps at once.Sadly changing the dpi of the launcher doesn´t work as on all other apps.The circle gets cut off and the height doesn´t change at all or get too small and you see too much.
3.Could your app maybe force certain apps always to launch in floating window mode even when not lauched from bubble launcher but also from the notification bar or any other way?
4.option to disable app names.
5.improve list opening speed,maybe the in point 1 mentioned favorite only mode could help here.
6.If there would be a way to launch a favorite only mode like bubble but as a grid of icons that could be good.Faster and more convenient than the bubble i think.This way you could directly tap for launch in floating mode and long press for fullscreen mode.
ok,that´s it so far i can see.Please tell me what you think of it and what could be done maybe
also found a bug,even if made visible i can´t see the bubble on the left side on my Nexus 7,one my One x see it on both sides though.
Also icons on the Nexus 7 overlap with the app name text as can be seen in the screenshot
Launcher is very good
Im Not able to uninstall it..
I stopped the Service in the settings of the app, restarted the device twice. Still nothing.

NOTE: This is only original work in the sense that I put several different methods together to achieve what I personally wanted. I use a dark theme in my S8 so seeing the Bluetooth icon in the quick settings can be hard in the sunlight when I get in the car so I put this together to help me and I decided to share this with the community. Nearly all of the credit goes to others for making this possible.
PREREQUISITES
TASKER
APP FACTORY (TASKER PLUGIN) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.appfactory
YOUR PREFERRED BIXBY REMAPPING APP
First things first we need to set up a profile to intercept when the Bixby button is pressed. The following is what I use:
Profile: Bixtooth (32)
Event: Variable Set [ Variable:%WIN Value:Bixby* User Variables Onlyff ]
Enter: Bixtooth (31)
A1: Bluetooth [ Set:Toggle ]
I will link to the profile for you to download for simplicity at the end if the guide.
Now we have to give the task an icon. Open the tasks tab, then open the Bixtooth task. In the bottom right corner three is a grid icon. Tap that and select whatever icon/image you want to give it. I personally selected the bixby icon that I got from Google image search.
Next, we have to export the task as an app using the app factory plugin. This is very simple. Just go to the tasks tab, highlight the Bixtooth task and tap the 3 dot menu and select export, then export it as an app.
Give it a name so Android can recognize it such as "com.bluetooth.bixby" then tap Back then once it's compiled, (about 5 seconds) tap the little Android icon to install it as a dedicated app.
The final step is to use your preferred bixby remapping app that will remap it to an app, then simply select remap to the new Bixtooth app we just installed and you're done!
Now whenever you tap the bixby button, it will toggle Bluetooth instead.
This is just a simple way of making life a little safer while driving. Hope it helps!
Thanks to you guide I configured my bixby button to switch my Yeelight. Awesome! Thank you
You're welcome
Hello, there are some bixby button remapper (e.g. "bxActions" or "Custom Bixby Button") which allow to set a shortcut for using with bixby buttons.
Of course you can choose a Tasker Shortcut and select the task you want.
So there is no need to export a task as app.
I only found one that let's the user link to a tasker task but that's a paid feature. I just found a way to do it without having to pay for premium features.
I just checked out those 2 apps and although I had installed them to try them out I had never thought of looking to an "app shortcut". My narrow mind was looking directly for Tasker.
Well if this has taught me anything is that I now discovered a simple way to launch Tasker tasks that I didn't know about before.
I was so close to factory reset my ze552kl for the sake of quick tiles theming (how ridiculous is that?). I'd like to get darker quick tiles but mine remained white after applying any themes).Then I did the following as my last attempt to keep me from resetting my phone. I choose two themes as examples, you may choose whatever you want but these two certainly theme your quick setting. Those two are 'light speed' which will bring you dark themes and 'travel diary' which has brighter nuance than the first mentioned.
1. Download the themes
2. Select one of those two
3. Select 'customize' and select 'lock screen wallpaper' (let the others uncheck)
4. Once again open theme, Select 'wallpaper', let the others uncheck (this process might be skippable it's up to you to skip but I wouldn't know the result).
5. Open theme for the last time, select 'Apply All'
6. Hope it works for you

Hello Substratum team,
I had a few comments on the Substratum UX. I've used it for both a rooted Samsung Galaxy S7 as well as a rooted Nexus 6P RR Oreo, with Swift Black and Swift Dark themes.
1) Tapping a theme in the 'Themes' tab shows a full screen popup with "Instructions". The UI doesn't give you the option of dismissing without showing again. This popup becomes quite annoying after you've seen it many times. I rush to hit "Next" every time.
2) Selecting apps in the theme viewer provides the options to: "Build & Enable", "Build & Update", "Disabled selected", "Enable selected", "Change overlay states". I don't really understand the differences between the terminology, so I tend to always go with "Build & Enable" regardless of whether I'm installing fresh or updating. Most of the time, I'm simply trying to update my existing overlays after doing a manual Play Store update.
3) The 'Manager' tab doesn't allow you to easily update your existing overlays, so I never use it. The sort order of several apps appears out of alphabetical, so I'm less trusting of this tab. I'm assuming it has to do with when you have multiple overlays for the same app installed, but it's most likely due to user error.
4) Many areas of the app are quite slow to load, and it's easy to accidentally pull to refresh.
5) There is no easy option to simply update all existing selected overlays. It's cumbersome to update, especially when there are certain apps I never want themed, such as Slack. I have to manually go through the full theme list every time, unless I'm doing it wrong.
6) There is no automatic selection of certain app versions, such as when I have a specific version of Instagram installed. Substratum doesn't preselect the version I have installed, even though the data of version number is visible.
I hope that my comments are in any way helpful. I do enjoy what your team has accomplished, and I will continue to support! :good:
Agree with you on updating existing themes; afaik the correct option is after updating the theme on google play, a total uninstall of a particular theme overlay/reboot/reapply the new updated theme. Definitely seems cumbersome not to just be able to update without uninstalling first.
