Available options:
Minimize all apps after an app was restarted

My personal intension to create this app:
I'm using the messenger Trillian which has random FCs. Now Cerulean Studios has"pimped" the UI in a way I don't like. So I have to use the old version with known bugs.
To not miss messages anymore, i restart Trillian after crashes with this app
Now i'm using it also for daily crashes of WhatsApp

Useful application! I've highlighted it on the XDA Portal.

I'm already liking your BootManager and ReceiverStop.
Way to go!
Thanks!

I just read it in portal news, looks nice. Good work OP!

Is this an Xposed module or standalone? (Other great apps work with Xposed.)

no module applications ...

Wow, sounds amazing, I could use this for my CarPC.
Would it be possible to add an per-app option to only recover the app when the screen is on ?
Thanks !

Standalone, no root. Should work down to API3 (Android 1.5)...

Per-app? A global option "restart apps only of screen is on" would be much easier

So if the time interval is set to 20 minutes, the app check every 20minutes if the selected apps are still running and if they dont, keep running start them again?
Do i get this right?

Yes.
I think "20" is a good value
* you do not miss messages etc to long
* not many checks of the apps, no impact to battery (20 min -> 72 cheks/day)
But you could set whatever you need

Just pushed to Play Store. The logfile shows "sleeping" if
* the setting is enabled
* the screen is off
* an app is detected as not running
Bad side: needs api7. For Android <=2.0 i would have to watch screen-on/-off events :-\

As i wrote in 1st post, i did this app for Trillian and WhatsApp because both crashes sometimes on my device. Then i get calls why i don't answer for so long...
Now i've additionally set Llame and My Data Manager, because i've hidden their notification icons with NotifyClean, and i wan't to know if they closes without it - until now it was not the case

Restart minimized
I would like the option to restart apps minimized without reverting to the homescreen. Please separate these choices.

How about returning to previous active app instead of homescreen then? Returning to the homescreen interrupts ongoing use of the phone.

Great idea, i will check if it is possible to get the current focused app. But it could be that there is a short (<1 second) interruption anyway

Just released to Play Store. This needs a new permission "GET_TASKS".

Notice to @kalashenicof @jzak1083 @vipa

Cool app
I, too, wish they would've kept Trillian looking like that old school Gingerbread style, but it's hard to expect them not to upgrade the UI, I guess...

[App][MaterialUI] Oops! Applock, Totally Invisible AppLocker and ScreenLock

★★★★★
Addictive tips, lifehacker reviews the app as unique.
"Hilariously brilliant and effective." - Android Authority.
★★★★★
Oops! application locker does not use any on-screen password ie. pin based or a pattern based locking system.
We use volume key pattern as the password. You can make any pattern using volume keys, like UP UP DOWN UP.
Features
- Totally invisible.
- Most secure way to lock apps.
- Nobody even notices your app is locked.
- Simple and fun to use.
- Can lock any applications.
- The transparent screen makes as if your application is stuck (You can change it).
- Fool friends with custom backgrounds.
Lollipop users Allow UsageStats for KNote from settings, you can do it by opening app drawer click on Enable/Disable UsageStats.

Awesome idea... I tried this app out though on Chase and Google Wallet, but I did not have to enter my password (Vol Up, down, up, up) it went straight into both apps and I am sure I had both apps locked :/

[APP][ROOT][2.2+]ScreenOff - Soft Screen Off(Respects Smart Lock Feature) v1.2/v2.0b

Hi,
Important : Requires ROOT
This is a simple App that emulates the click of Power Button.
Handy when u want to reduce wear and tear of the physical button or if the button is not working.
Currently the following method of Trigger are available:
- Using the Swipe Up Assist action which usually opens the Google Now App
- Application icon (In Launcher)
- Shortcut
- Intent Support - Use 'in.pathri.screenoff.SCREEN_OFF' as Intent action to trigger screen off from ANY App, including TASKER
Following are planned to be added:
- Widget (Is it Needed?? )
- Tasker Extension
Advantage over other similar apps in Market:
The usual 'Screen Off' 'Screen Lock' Apps that are available in market, makes the 'Smart Lock' feature introduced in Lollipop not work. Also this makes the timeout period set in the 'Automatically Lock' security settings to not work.
Since my App uses shell commands (and hence the need for Root) to emulate Power Button press, both Smart Lock and 'Automatically Lock' settings work.
Disclaimer:
AFAIK should not cause any problems in any device since nothing dangerous is being used. But still the usual disclaimer : ' I am not responsible for any damage done to your device, hand, home etc... LOL '
Have tested so far in the following Mobiles. Would be glad if others test it out in various mobiles and report here.
Nexus 5
HTC One X
Change Log:
v0.1 - 5th Jan:
- Initial Version with only Google Now Swipe gesture support
v0.2 - 8th Jan:
- Added the following:
Application launcher
Shortcut
Intent Support : 'in.pathri.screenoff.SCREEN_OFF'
v1.0 - 18th Jan:
Modified code to support more Devices. Probably must work in all Android devices irrespective of Android Version
v1.1 - 20th Jan
Shouldn't be showing in recents anymore
v1.2 - 20th March
Added icon for the swipe up gesture
Fixed a bug that was causing adding shortcut to crash in certain launchers(AFAIK GEL based)
v2.0b - 30th March
Adding a new material icon - thanks to @slider112

AFAIK, If we use tasker to screen off, it will immediately lock and would not respect the Smart Lock feature. Please correct me If am wrong.
Regarding the gesture bringing up the magazine app, have u configured the swipe up gesture do that by default ? Or After installing this App,the swipe up gesture got assigned to it?

Regarding overriding the swipe up gesture in ur Note 3 , I think it might be possible with an Xposed module. I have never written one, so not Sure. I am ready to try to make a Xposed module, If it's ok for u to test it out in ur mobile (have no previous experience in writing Xposed module, so a word of caution )

I have tried that mod already it doesnt replaes the gesure action.

[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.

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.

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

[APK] [6.0+] Pixel's Fingerprint Swipe Gesture

Hey guys,
This is a replication of the thread I've originally posted in the Nexus 6P Themes & Apps Forum. I've successfully built something similar to Google Pixel's Fingerprint Notification Gesture. Just install the APK, grant it root access and you're good to go.
NOTES:
There's a similar app made by another developer, and this is in no way affiliated to it. End product is the same though it's accomplished in different ways. Read further to know the differences.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Nexus 5X rooted with SuperSu
2. Android 6.0+ (should work with lower APIs too - haven't tested)
BUGS:
It takes a while to start listening for fingerprints after a complete boot and after you unlock your phone. In the former case, it takes longer for the service to start.
DESCRIPTION:
We all have heard about the Google's new Pixel's fingerprint swipes to accomplish tasks. For the ones who aren't aware, the Pixel lets you swipe down it's fingerprint sensor to simulate a swipe down on your notification bar / status bar to pull it down and a swipe up, to pull it up. This app accomplishes something similar.
A single short tap on the sensor pulls down the notification / status bar and a long press on the sensor pulls it back up, irrespective of whether the finger in subject is registered for authentication or not.
DISCLAIMER:
Make sure you always take a backup before testing. Thumb rule. I'm not responsible if you screw up your handset!
DOWNLOADS:
Fetch it from below.
Cheers and let me know.

Great work man, appreciate it!

I can install the .apk but the app itself won't open. I've cleared cache and data and I just uninstalled it and reinstalled multiple times. Nothing.

Okay, tried this and it worked. So.. Go to apps, delete data from Pixel Swipe app. Force close app. Scan your finger and setup the fingerprint sensor screen unlock. Reboot the phone and open the app again. Guess it wants the scanned finger before opening.

tnx man no problem with that , good job

So there's no settings for this app? It takes this much trouble just to get it running as well? I'll stick with the original app.....

Worked within five minutes, just had to have finger scanned in the phone. Works great. Thanks mate.

would be nice if i can swipe to remove notifications panel too, not long press! anyways, thank you. very useful app.

Why opening of notification panel so slow? NOVA launcher have the same problem with Android 6, but they solve this problem with root, can you do same thing for your app? With so slow opening - app is useless

Nice app. Not filled with bloated stuff like similar apps. Just what I searched. ?

are you the devloper of the app?
is there any way to make it so that the fingerprint scanner act as a scroll wheel?

Anyway to implement directions and tap to select double tap to go back??

Can't even open file.

Thanks mahn! :good:
Appreciate it!
But is there any way that the notification panel would go back up when swiped up?
