Really appreciate you taking the time to try out maximal
I've sent you a DM with the code, do check your inbox

Suggestions:
1. A little snappier on drawer opening. There's a little bit of lag.
2. The ability to rename what we put in the list. For example if I put "Kiwi Browser" on there I want to be able to change it to "Browser" for a cleaner look.

Happy to give it a spin and provide feedback. Please share a code.

1. Are you talking about a lag in the animation or the loading of the list? I'm working on a different implementation for the list but I haven't seen any animation lag myself
2. That makes sense! I'll add it to my planned feature list maybe something like a longpress menu in the settings screen? with options to rename, view info etc.

Maybe it's just my phone. I'll try it on another fresh device as well as a fresh install on mine, and report back.
Thanks. Love the minimalism.

Hey can I get a promo code too , seems nice to try

It was my phone causing the lag.
Will you post updates to this thread before the Play Store, or how will you do it?
Love it so far.
Very minimal.

Hey can i get the promo code

Is that the "white power" "ok" logo for the app?

To be honest, I'm pretty new to being a developer
I'll stick to updating on the play store itself for now, but I'll drop a post every time an update is pushed
As I say that, I've pushed an update adding the ability to "rename apps" should be visible in 24 hours at the latest

Wonderful. When I get the update, I will test and report back
Also, how about the ability to "hide" apps from the list.
For people with plenty of apps, the scroll list could take awhile.
If this is implemented, it would be perfect for me.

I'm unsure of the reference there but I got it from the Adobe Spark Post Icon library. I had searched for meditation , and this is one of the 'mudras' in yoga if I'm not mistaken.

Yes! That's one of the things that actually got me into making a minimalist launcher.
Very few minimalist launchers have that ability and the implementation is quite, for lack of a better word, wonky.
I've been working on a couple of different ways to do it. Should be ready in a week, hopefully

I experienced the complete opposite.
So the app is a really good idea, keep working.
Setting favorites and/or history would be great.
Ability to vote too!
History is coming in the next version. I also plan to integrate it with Share menu so that's it easier to use it.
Do you think it would be possible to make the look more like "Holo"? Or at least an inverted colors version so we get a black background?
I will try to improve the interface too.

New version released!
What's new in this version:
Integrates with Share menu. Send the url straight from the browser.
The title always stays visible when scrolling the login list.
Clicking the title in the login list launches the browser.
Improved appearance a little bit for ICS users.
Minor bug fixes.
Download Now!
History and much more is coming in next version.

I released a new version yesterday which allows to switch between dark and light themes. Please give it a try and let me know how it looks.
New UI with a new version:
BugMeNot was cool years ago. Site owners have been using it to poison the well, so to speak, lately. I think they run a script that checks BugMeNot for accounts, and then removes them or bans them (or bans the IP of anyone who uses them -- I hit that once, wouldn't even let me sign up for an account since I came from the same IP as someone (myself) who tried to use the BugMeNot account). Somebody needs to reboot the service with a way to prevent the same thing from happening. Otherwise it's better to just make a throwaway account.
There are still many sites where bugmenot accounts work.

[APP][2.1+]Cool Facts Free

Well, this is my first ever attempt on google android app development. I just wanted to share it here. Let me hear your comments, critics, feedbacks etc.
I know there is a lot of room for improvement in this app.
Google Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coolfacts.app
About the app:

"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"
}
​All the facts in this app are funny, cool, informative, real and verifiable. The app comes with regular in-app updates from our facebook page, official website & twitter account whenever there is an update. So there is no end to the facts. Almost every day you will get new facts unlike many other cool facts apps. Also all of these facts are true as we are a team of people who care about the quality of our work. Most of the facts will be verifiable using wikipedia and other trusty websites like Nat Geo, Discovery etc.
Features:
Swipe Left or Right for next or previous facts.
Random Fact & Latest Fact Buttons.
Twitter sharing button. Amaze your followers with awesome cool facts.
Links to our Facebook, Google Plus & Twitter pages and to the official website.
A never ending list of cool facts.
This is the official http://www.coolfacts.in Android app. We're very happy to announce this app for all our android fans.
No feedbacks?
App seems nice. It could be interesting to have a widget instead of opening app and I don't like when then text couldn't fit the page that you link to the site to read the rest of the news.

So I think it should have a scrollable text view for the facts so that I don't have to link to the website?
A widget for "your daily fact" is an awesome idea, thanks for that!

Yes I was meaning that
The idea is pretty good, a widget would make it great !
Even more with the new DayDram mode on Android 4.2 you could have your facts randomly displayed when the devices are docked or charging.
Could be fun.

Done that and updated the app. I will try to come up with a widget options soon!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Can any one please download it and try it out. I am sorry I had to ask this, there has been some issues after the latest update. It would be greatly appreciated if you can check it opens on your mobile.
I just wanted to know whether this is happening for new installations!
This is the video promo I created for this app. Hope you guys like it!

Somebody please help me and give me more ideas!
Did a UI improvement, let me know your thoughts!
Nice work
Cool Facts App just ahad a major UI revamp and now supports a lot more compared to the previous version.
Some updated functionalities include:
* Report false facts
* Copy the fact to clipboard and use/share it wherever you want!
Hope you like it, let me know your suggestions!
Force closes when I press "copy to clipboard" but other than that, cool.
Personally, if I were you, I would add a possibility to hide all the buttons at the buttom of screen for users who wouldn't use them. Maybe make the text a bit smaller (it's bigger on my 2.3.7 Gingerbread than on your screenshots, though) and maybe make the text "justify aligned" (I'm a bit fan of "justify alignment", lol)... Just some tips to make the app look a bit more simplistic, maybe.

I think I can include a button to toggle the visibility of all the buttons! that would be okay right?
I think the clipboard function is making the error because of your older version. I think I will have to check the version on which the app is running and then decide whether or not to show the button!

Possibly.
Make a text size adjuster too, if you can .. and maybe center allign the text if "justify" is not possible in Androd (I dont think it is).
Just some tips
Added button to disable all the buttons!
Let me know how do you like the new update!
I like facts, so I like this app . It is also a bit addicting searching for new facts which are more or less useful to know .

Update is out
Hi, Draw2Dial has been updated to 1.1 fixing a few minor bugs found by users.
People seem to like it so I must say thank you for the nice ratings, reviews and feedback.
Any shortcuts availble?
Is it possible to have a shortcut to launch the gesture field directly without having to press the tab? It would also go nicely combined with an invisible tab.
Just some thoughts. Good start! =]
Hello, thanks for sharing your thoughts about the app. A -almost- invisible tab icon is a great idea and I will get on it soon.
As for the shortcut, do you mean having it instead of the tab, so you can launch the gesture field from certain home screens only?

Done.
Also, app has been updated.
v1.2
- New customization options (three new service icons)
- Minor bug fixes
Useful app that i would love to try. However......
Remembering the "speed dial" numbers is do-able no prob. But would it be possible to have the option of drawing of drawing initials??
To set it up so i could draw JM or CL ect... to get a contact that the app has linked to that input??
Just a thought.
I really like this app it works well but if I may I would like to suggest that if its possible to add the ability to draw out a complete 7 digit number and save it for those occasions when you need to take down a new phone number. I think that kind of functionality would be tremendously useful especially if it can be done from the lock screen. Again just a suggestion.
thanks for sharing ur app... keep rocking
thanks for sharing ur app... keep rocking...will update the review after playing with it..
Awesome app. Patent this right away dude or an OEM is gonna use it as a "new" feature.
Nice app and very useful especially on the lock screen. Suggest that once enabled icon should be invisible from the lockscreen but is running in the background. What do you think?
great app but useless with talkback for my blind dad
very nice idea, couse with ICS and furthermore we lost speed dial in phone app (it was present in froyo and GB)
but it needs work...i tested, it's soo hard to recognize #1 or #9....then for example ...contact was saved #1 ...i draw 5 to test ....it said...there is no contact on 5 but it dials the 1
or i draw 8 and it wants 3...etc.
but overall realy great idea...was looking for speed dial app

Here at Codiaq, we believe that an Android launcher should get you to the app you need simply, and fast. The problem is that most android launcher now days slow you down, with loading, multiple screens, and bloatware.
With Prism Launcher, you can quickly open any app with a simple action bar search, additionally you can quickly perform an internet search from the same place.
To access all your apps, simply swipe up. You can also double tap the home screen to get to the settings.
Even though Prism Launcher is very simple, it is highly customizable. Customize everything from Wallpaper to text color, or from icon size to the number of columns.
Please keep in mind that Prism Launcher is still in beta. This means that you may occasionally run into bugs, although this in unlikely. Please feel free to post any suggestions or comments in the appropriate sections of our google + community or in the comments of this thread.
Furthermore, I personally promise to push out an update every week starting today.
Please feel free to download the app from here.
Thank you for your support. Codiaq Team.
looks and sounds cool.
Just giving you a heads up: your ads are under the navigation bar. That means as a user I'm scared of clicking them when I press the navigation buttons (even though they are actually underneath). That also means if I did want to actually click on an ad I would have a difficult time doing so.

Probably one of the most constructive points of feedback I have gotten so far. Thanks . This will be fixed in the next update.
New update being released soon. This will fix an issue that some people had that would cause the app to never launch. This also fixes an issue where the text would not be displayed under app icons after it was checked in the settings. This update also makes French translation significantly better.
Introducing Prism Launcher 2.0
*CURRENTLY IN BETA*
With Prism Launcher 2.0, all your apps are conveniently sorted on your home screen. Furthermore you can simply swipe up to access the app drawer.
From the app drawer, you can search for an app, launcher it, or search the web.
Please feel free to download the app from here.
Thank you for your support. Codiaq Team.

-- easier light wallpaper visibility
-- Minor UI changes

[APP][4.1+] Snype - fastest way to access apps and contacts

Hi all!
I wasn't satisfied with any of the current methods of accessing all apps/contacts so I set out to create my own.
I present to you, Snype.
Snype has a unique dual-index system where switching between "snyping" apps and contacts is almost instant. It has changed the way I use my device and has done the same for many of my beta testers.
It also has a unique "side panel" mode where apps and contacts can be accessed simply by scrolling a finger up or down the edge of the display, which is always active no matter which app you are currently in. A list will appear and automatically begin scrolling to the location in the index that the finger is pointing to.
Snype does not try to replace your launcher. In fact, I designed it so that I would be able to use any launcher I like and not have to worry about the launcher's implementation of the app drawer. This means it's very easy to have a completely uncluttered, beautiful home screen and still be only a second away from accessing any app or contact you desire.
There are no ads and all functionality is available for free. The premium upgrade allows full customisation of the appearance of the lists.
Let me know how it goes for you!
I should mention that the premium upgrade is available for $0.99 for a short period of time to celebrate the launch of Snype. It will be a bit more later.
I love your app Sleep Ambience!

Haha, I certainly didn't expect many people here would be using my other app.
I hope you like this one too!

Thanks. That would be appreciated.
Really good app. I will give you 5 stars!
Some things to change:
- Add more languages
- if possible the alphabet lists have a title to know that one it is for apps, and the other for contacts.
- A widget and a direct access from home.

Thanks for the excellent feedback.
More languages is actually a surprisingly large challenge due to the indexes. It is something that I might look into again later, but when I was having a crack at it before there were some significant technical hurdles.
I have thought about doing something to let you know at a glance which is for apps and which is for contacts... like different colours or something. I'm not sure. Where do you think the title should go? There's not much room there.
I also looked into doing a widget. Unfortunately widgets don't support all kinds of views so making a widget with this functionality is impossible unless the launcher is built specifically for it. That's actually the main reason I implemented the side panels, because I knew the widget would not be possible.
ability to launch apps in halo would be nice. And maybe icon theme support. Very nice and useful app by the way:good:

Thanks for the ideas
I just released an update to fix some crashes in the initial release.
I just released an update which added animation to the side panels, adds Snype to the list of apps and fixes some bugs. I'm still trying to hunt down some bugs that occur only on some devices. Let me know if you have one of those devices please.
Okay, I think I've got all the known bugs fixed. Let me know if there's anything else wonky.
Just released an update with a new feature: favourites bar.
Now it's even faster to access those special few apps and contacts you use most often.
I love the ability to search contracts easily! And light theme looks cool.
Keep it up!:good:

Very good idea. I'm thinking about replacing my app drawer with this app. Unfortunately the fly in and out animations are somewhat jerky (using a Note 3).

Yeah, Samsung devices seem to do that. I'm not sure why, since even my Galaxy Nexus is pretty smooth and the Note 3 is much more powerful. I'll keep trying to make it smoother for you.
