Really works and it does so fast, clean and easy. I think it's the only app available on the Play Store that actually does this WITHOUT breaking the apps.
GREAT JOB!
Wish the UI was cleaner, based on ICS design elements.
Thanks!
(Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4)

Works great. Just one thing, when I tried to hide SIM Toolkit, it makes my phone lose the signal n when it got the signal back, SIM Toolkit appear again on my app drawer.

nice

Only navigation from maps is going back after reboot.
Btw good work.

Guess I must be doing something wrong...?
Great idea, this app!
However, I don't get the option to "hide" a particular item...
All it offers for me - when long-pressing an app - is "Clear data", "Freeze" or "Uninstall"...
What am I doing wrong/missing?

The freeze option would allow you to hide all icons and completely disable an app but this probably isn't what you want...
Short press the app to transition into the "Details" view at which point you'll see a list of icons associated with the application. Short press the icons you want to show/hide to check them and then click the "Show/Hide Icon(s)" button to process the operation.
After hiding/showing icons some launchers will require you to reboot before they actually show/hide.

I've installed it and when I run it, It asks for root permissions, which I click allow, but then the app just sits there with the spinning circle and "Asking for root permissions" It's been like that for about 10min so I think it's stuck

You should try installing BusyBox. See if that helps.

Haven't seen/heard of this before. My first suggestion would be to exit out and retry. If that doesn't work you can PM me here or email [email protected] (better option since it dings my phone ) and I'll try and help you resolve it.

Awesome app!

I had the same problem here. I restartet the Device and it works now.

this is awesome, i've been looking for something like this since ditching non-stock launchers. Question, will uninstalling undo anything I hid? or do i need to do this before uninstalling to prevent apps from permanently being hidden? I also noticed that hiding the icons this way prevents them from showing up when searching on the Evo.

This application modifies system settings to hide the icons or freeze applications. They will continue to be hidden/frozen after uninstalling so you should unhide them first or reinstall the application when you need to restore them.

I installed this because it sounded like it would hide the icons but still let me use the apps. I spent about 10 minutes going through my apps and hiding them.
I hid my Apex launcher and after I exited the app the system freaked the **** out going to a few other apps and then finally the default CM9 launcher when I hit the home key.
Also it doesn't highlight everything I check to be hidden in blue. So I had to go through and unhide everything just to be safe, taking another 10 minutes to sort through my app list trying to remember what I ticked off. Around 500 apps, not fun.

Technically it disables the Activity associated with the icon which does in fact make it unusable while hidden. Beyond a launcher with the capability to hide icons this is the only way to do it.

For most launchers this would be fine as separate Activities are created for the "Settings" and "Launcher" functionalities. Unfortunately this is not the case with Apex launcher and I sent them an email a while back suggesting a change.
In general care should be taken while hiding launchers and system apps (titles in red). Maybe I should do something more than just the red text to indicate caution should be taken. Maybe a warning prompt with an option to disable it for those that like to live dangerously ;-)

Hmm I haven't heard of this issue but will definitely look into it. The Activities (icon rows) are not cached and are loaded when you enter the details screen so they should represent the current state (ie: blue = hidden).
In the next few days I'll be putting out an updated release that will contain filtering which would have made it easier to locate what you hid. Sorry for your troubles.

Just uploaded version 1.0.5. Only change is to filter Apex Launcher from the list of available applications since it doesn't like being hidden. As always shoot me an email at [email protected] and I'll be more than happy to help.

I assume that pretty much any launcher is going to react the same way if it's the active launcher and you're hiding it.
Anyway thanks for the quick response.

Useful handy apps...!

Guys I am using android phone since 2 years now and in that period I come across some useful apps which help me alot to do multitasking, monitoring the useful things and doing fun with the phone. So I thought that I should some of those apps with you
NOTE :- I am just sharing these apps with u so that you people can use it in more efficient way. I am not taking any credit for it. I have given links of those apps' from where you can actually download those apps and thanks to those developers

This app is available on market also for free

2) COOLTOOL
Many times I feel that I should monitor data traffic so that I can come to knowat which speed I am downloading a file. Otr sometimes I need to monitor freq and ram while using a perticular app so that I can come to know how much ram is used by phone while running that app. So gor such things I always prefer a cool app "COOLTOOL" app
Its description as follows
This utility allows you to monitor a various system info in "always on top" floating window (overlay mode).
Available features:
- CPU Usage meter
- Free RAM meter
- CPU Frequency indicator
- 2g/3g/Wi-Fi Traffic meter
- Battery Level
- Battery Temperature
- Battery Current (mA)
- Wi-Fi Signal Level
- I/O Activity
- Time/Date indicator
- GSM Cell Signal Level (Samsung Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note are not supported due to firmware bug!)
- Number of fixed GPS satellites
- SD Card free space
- Most resource-intensive processes
- Task Killer
Also there is nice real time graph on background.
Press Show Panel button to enable dashboard. You can drag floating window over the screen or double tap to open settings. See video and screen-shots for details.
This application allows you to:
- Easy diagnostic problem processes that consume resources excessively.
- With Cool Tool you can monitor full-screen applications (games, video players, browsers).
- Monitor your Internet traffic without closing the browser window.
- Make your battery level always visible, with accurate percentage scale.
- Monitor how good your CPU governor switches between CPU frequencies in idle/stresses
Don't forget to try custom themes!
Tips:
Customize the appearance of the panel using color picker dialogs. Also you can adjust transparency and size of the panel in Sliders section.
If you want the panel did not receive touch events, just select the "ICS hack" box. If you Android 4.0 user, you also may want to turn it on. Since in ICS the status bar is drawn on top of all. Even on top of Cool Tool
Tons of gauges could drain your battery very quickly. Uncheck the features that you do not need. Btw, Cool Tool went to sleep and do not draw anything when your display turns off. It is for powersave.
Warning! "Show most resource-intensive process" feature is pretty resource-intensive You should use it only if you really need it.
If you want to hide Cool Tool panel in specific app, just select that app in Black List tab.

3) KeepScreen
Like me many of you must have experiened screen off problem while watching youtube video. Due to screen off buffering stops (google developers should remove this bug) which is really annoying. So I thought there should be an app which should control or keep our screen on so that watching youtube video without any interrupt will be fine. After trying lot of apps I found a free and reliable app on market "KeepScreen" which really do a remarkable job.
You can specifically choose any apps for which only you want screen on when it gets launched. This acts like a background service so a very negligible ram is taken by it. Here is playstore link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tni.KeepScreenLite&hl=en
4) MultiTasking Lite
In every android OS version there is inbuilt task manager which will show u recent apps when you long press home button. But I hate that why it can't show us currently running live apps like how a symbian phone shows...! So I was searching for an app which will act as task killer, which will show me currently running running apps, services etc. And finally a best app I found is MultiTasking lite app. Its UI is as simple as possible.
Also when u will launch it it automatically clears empty processes which eats ur ram and free up some ram for you. So its like a multitasking + ram free maker app
Description of app
Quickly switch between running apps for a list of the currently running tasks.
- The application activate when using double-press on HOME key.
- Long press on the Home(icon) button to terminate all running applications.
# Multitasking Pro (
- Support screen orientation.
- Remove Ads.

-Go to activation key. And choose home key single press.
-Click Enable additionql feature

-Click hide services.
-Click hide services.
-Click empty processes remove.
-Click use tab interface.
-Click memory usage.
-Click use bottom button.
-Click popup animation.
-Window position - center
This app works really very well. If u want to remove annoying ad while using app then use any ad remover app. I mainly prefer Adaway app
Playstore Link :

5) Greenify
I know that whenever we dont want any system/user app then we use tit backup to freeze that app so that all activities related to that app get freeze. But some apps like facebook or whatsapp always stay in memory in form of active services which affects our ram and battery alot and this is the main reason why android keep on lagging after use but iphone always remain smoother even after use of lots of apps. Iphone never keeps apps in his memory. It just pause or we can say that hibernate background app temporarily (like our Tit backup app do) to give smoother experience to user. I always wish that android should also use such system. And luckily I got an app which works exactly on this mechanism. Its Greenify
Use this app just to temporarily hibernate some apps which stays in memory un-necessarily. If you want to launch that app then you can easily launch it. Your app will run smoothly without any interruption. After our use is over then app will again hibernate by its own.
Remember hibernation will not work on running app. Hibernation will only happen when app's use is over. So enjoy ur android without worrying of lag

Introducing Kakudo Lite an app for faster app switching and multitasking.
WHAT IT DOES:
Kakudo allows users to switch between apps faster by just swiping. Swiping from the left or right sides of their devices opens the most recent open apps. If you want to copy text from a website to paste in a document, Kakudo makes it easier and faster to switch back and forth between your apps. Swiping up from the bottom and adding your most used apps to the Favorite Apps Drawer allows you to open your favorite apps without having to navigate back to the homescreen to do so. Adding toggles to the Favorite Apps Drawer allows you to turn them on without having to leave the app your currently in or to just check to see if the toggle is on/off since Kakudo's toggles show whether they are on/off.
Kakudo is also ergonomically designed to make it easier to use on larger screens. It's easier for your thumb to reach down when holding your device in the middle instead of up.
FEATURES:
- Swipe from the left or right to cycle through recent apps
- Swipe from the bottom to open your Favorite Apps Drawer
- Add your most used apps/toggles to the Favorite Apps Drawer (Limited to 7)
- Choose to start on boot
- Toggles indicate whether they are on/off
- Drag and Drop to reorder/remove apps and toggles from the Favorite Apps Drawer (Android Honeycomb and Above)
- True Swipe Detection
- Multi-Touch Mode
- Long Swipe or 2 (3 in Multi-Touch Mode) finger Swipe for All Recent Apps Window
- Kill Background Processes from the All Recent Apps Window
- Favorite Apps Drawer ergonomically design for easier use
- Minimal RAM/CPU footprint and closes fully when turned off
- Change sensitivity and size of swipe detection areas
- Adjust Icon size to best suit your preferences
-Languages Supported:
English, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Hungarian, Chinese, Portuguese, Polish, Romanian
UPGRADE TO PRO AND UNLOCK:
- Unlimited apps/toggles on Favorite Apps Drawer
- Favorite Apps Drawer on the Right Side
- One-Side Mode
- Change gravity location of side swipe detection areas
- Customize Favorite Apps Drawer Color and Opacity
-Choose from 8 Color Schemes or Create your Own
- Disable Notification Icon
- Additional features to come...
ADDITIONAL INFO:
- Apps may not launch when at the home screen, this is not a problem with Kakudo it is a bug with the Android system
- GPS toggle may not work on all devices (Use GPS Settings instead)
- A Persistent Notification is required by Android to allow Kakudo to stay open
- Killing App Background Processes removes them to free up memory and does NOT close them
- If you can help translate Kakudo to your language please go to https://applokaligo.appspot.com/app/#/projects/1775020

Could you make it vibrate when the app detects my swiping? At the moment I can't tell if the app is lagging or it's not detecting my swipes.
Edit: Early review, I'm mostly just using this app to "return" to my previous app after I respond to a message. It's very nice for that feature. I find the app drawer really hard to use because I have a navigation bar there.

Yes this will be coming in a future update. I only have tablets so it was hard for me to test this feature, but Google has just released an update to Google play that allows developers to upload betas and I have a few people who said they would help test features for me

I understand the difficulty with this but the app drawer swipe detection is just above the nav bar and it shouldn't interfere with the nav bar. It may take a little practice to not hit the nav buttons. Try going to the settings and testing the sensitivity to help with this. I may also include the ability to move the swipe bar so you can place it on any edge.

Again thanks for all the support and help.

Quite a useful app but impossible to fully use with pie controls. If only i was using the standard navbar.

OK I just finished setting up the beta testing and the beta is now available to download.
To become a beta tester you need to be apart of this Google Group: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?fromgroups#!forum/kakudo-testers
After asking to join I will have to confirm you as a member which I will try to do as quickly as I can. Once your a member of the group you will see a topic that says Beta Link in the group. Go into that and click the link to get the beta version of the app.
As a beta tester you will have full access to Kakudo and I ask that you help improve my app. To do this you will have to participate in the group letting me know how the app is working. If at anytime someone isn't giving feedback about the app updates, I will email them asking if they still want to be a tester. If I don't receive a response I will remove you from the group and you will lose access to the beta version.
Anyone interested just go to the group link and ask for permission to join the group.
Thanks in advance for everyone willing to help.

Pretty lame guys. I'm willing to help out, test, and provide feedback/logs/etc., but only giving testers access to the lite version is kinda silly imo for two reasons: (1) the only incentive a tester has is pure altruism and early access to new lite features, as such most rational humans will opt to stick with stable lite releases (i.e. you guys get useful information, but what do we get?); and (2) without access to beta pro versions many features will be untested.
I signed up to your group under the screen name "meeeee" feel free to remove me, unless you're gunna reconsider your lite tester policy.

It is the FULL PRO VERSION, as I clearly state multiple times. The code for the 2 apps is exactly the same. There are 2 lines of code that changes between them disabling certain features in the Lite version and in the beta version I use the same code as the pro version. The only cosmetic difference is it still says Kakudo lite which I was going to change in the next beta update.
Clearly you didn't download the app or read the descriptions of the lite and pro version.
As I understand it if I did the beta testing under the pro version it would still require users to pay. This is a brand new feature to the developer console and every developer is still learning how best to use it.
If you still want to be a tester hopefully this clears up any misconception you may of had. If I don't hear from you by tomorrow afternoon I will remove you from the group as per your request.

Pretty slick app, unfortunately I found a way to crash the app on demand, which kind of sucks. I sent logs and detailed information to the developer, hopefully helping to make this app even better.

Hope to give it a shot soon

Great app all it needs is some customization to the task bar
enable/disable app dividers
enable/disable glossy and or gradient overlay (so it wont make things look to flat)
Transparency
Full RGB color
This could turn into its own light weight launcher with benifits of having the fetures it has now. All it needs is a very simple ipadish homescreen (the light weight part is there is no app/widget joor) and then throw in a feture to open preview windows of all apps open and launcher for easy tasking between 2 or more apps.
Just throwing out ideas this could be another project

My bad, I apologize and feel like a bit of an ass. Yeah I did not even try to dl it initially, but I did read the description which is the same as the normal one for the lite version in the playstore and that would lead one to believe it is not a full version. But at any rate I did go back and try to dl the beta, but unfortunately playstore said it is not compatible with my device. Thus I cannot test it and you can remove me to make room for others. Sorry again, I won't wast any more of your time, and gl it seems like a promising app that could out perform its competition.

Pretty slick app, unfortunately I found a way to crash the app on demand, which kind of sucks. I sent logs and detailed information to the developer, hopefully helping to make this app even better.

Thanks for the log and image. I have already fixed the empty app from appearing (I had the code to save part of the remove on top of the code to remove). I am working on moving the settings into an activity instead of a window so hopefully that will fix that problem. The one where I think your getting it to crash on demand (Clicking the app multiple times), however is a bit trickier and has to do with the StandOut library focus listener. I can't seem to find what is causing it to crash.

Great app all it needs is some customization to the task bar
enable/disable app dividers
enable/disable glossy and or gradient overlay (so it wont make things look to flat)
Transparency
Full RGB color
This could turn into its own light weight launcher with benifits of having the fetures it has now. All it needs is a very simple ipadish homescreen (the light weight part is there is no app/widget joor) and then throw in a feture to open preview windows of all apps open and launcher for easy tasking between 2 or more apps.
Just throwing out ideas this could be another project

Thanks for the ideas. There is a slight gradient on the colors that are included with the app (perhaps I should mess around with this some more to make it look better). In the Pro version you can set the fav app drawer to any color and any opacity that you want (although if you choose this there isn't a gradient).

Bought the full version, try swiping up from bottom for app drawer and it force closes the whole entire app altogether. I'll continue testing though.

​Hi Guys!
wanna play with your lock screen or notification area on your galaxy note 5? OK, Samsung just introduced a new app named Good Lock which puts a ton of functionality right on your lock screen and notifications area .
Actually it's an enhancement to SYSTEMUI.
​Good Lock is only available in the US for now(You can find this app on GALAXY APPS), APK file available for download for anyone who wants to try it out( download from attached file).
​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 .

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.

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.

[APP][BETA] Navbar Weather - weather forecast at your navigation bar

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.
Installation
Google Play link: Navbar Weather - forecast at your Navigation Bar

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Permissions:
App need permission to get localization of your smartphone (to get localized weather forecast data) and permission to display over other apps (it's obligatory to place weather forecast at your 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.

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

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.
