[APP] GOTO the lockscreen that should of been the default one

I searched and I don't think this has been posted before
Here is an app that works great, it does have some bugs but i'm sure the DEVs will fix them with new updates.
"Overview
We designed GOTO to give you access to the information you care about without slowing you down.
Numbers appear over the notification icons in the navigation bar at the bottom so you know when there's something new.
Simply slide the thumb icon under the notification icon to preview and release to jump right to the application. If there's nothing new you can slide the thumb icon all the way to the right to unlock."

I agree...I actually thought that's what they were going to do with the old 2.0 launcher being that it had other unfilled circles....that one's great...just a bit too stylized for my taste...doesn't really match stock Android...unless it can be themed.

I'm stuck in a force close loop with this damn thing. It kept foce closing on me when I installed it, so I thought a reboot might clear things. When I did, I get the lock screen, but if I take any action with it, I'm stuck in a force close loop.

its not a very smart app, but if more work is put into it, it will be much better
it works fine with me, but it doesnt have any settings
when im on the lock screen, and i press the home button, it goes directly to home without needing to slide to unlock

At least you can refund in the android market place. FC-looping For The Lose

its working fine for me

Theres quite a few lock screens on the market that i like including this one but they all have the same problem it unlocks your phone when you press the home key which makes them pointless for me. It looks cool tho

Can someone who has installed it test and see if/how it works with a lock pattern?
TIA.

I probably would've installed it if it had three things:
Stability
Actually locking your phone so the home-key doesn't work
Themed like stock 2.2
As it is now it's pretty useless in my opinion.

Fyi, I've been in contact with the developer, he's stated that he doesn't want to start supporting multiple roms, but if someone with Cyanogen is having force close issues, he'd be willing to look at a log to see if there's anything that can be tweaked to work with Cyan's rom. If you're getting force closes, could you forward a log to him?

Can't find it on the market. I tried the barcode, too. I'm using CM 6.0.0-RC1 and I am from Germany.

No lockscreen app will ever be worth my time IMO, they all have issues. Only one worth a damn ever has been an actual lock screen replacement.

Actually not bad, will try when it gets some update

It has been updated to 1.15 apparently with more preferences and customizations. Does anyone know exactly what the new preferences are?

I was already quoting the release notes
"Added new settings app to allow for more preferences and customizations"
other than changing the way the wallpaper works, the user name, and the sounds are there any other "preferences and customizations" that are not listed

Hmm, that's warez right? You better ensure it's not against the rules..
In any case, I just bought it because it looks real cool. However there are quite a few bugs in this.
If the screen turns off during an app like a browser and you unlock the screen, it should go back to the browser. However, if you then try to exit the browser with the back button, it will go back to the Goto lockscreen, resulting in an endless loop with browser and lockscreen. This is a really bad bug. The only way out is to manually take out the battery to restart the phone. The way around is to enable the home button as that would bring you to the home screen instead of the browser.
Currently the developer is looking at this but still no updates...
Another bug is the camera/volume button cannot be disabled in my case. Pressing the volume buttons will wake the screen whether they are disabled or not.
There are a few other minor bugs but these 2 are major ones that's preventing it from being perfect.
Still I love the slider and 3 animated icons. Hopefully the dev will fix it up.

Thank you,
And i started working on "more animations" thing. I'm sure it will make you feel better about it. Also i'm planning to create custom themes for different places in RotaryHome.(e.g more stylish feed texts or more classical looking border of the pictures...)

Downloading, will give this a look over. I would like in the news feed, an option for widgets/contacts/messaging for offline use.

Hey, i got the error report now from Google. :good:
I started working on it, and that error may be temporary(you can try relaunch), in short it's because of google play services related background process of RotaryHome.
However, if i can get some information about where the force close happened, it can help me to fix the bug.

it's compatible with 5.1.x, and i'm using it on my device at the moment. I'm not really sure about why it prevents you to install, as soon as i get the statistics from google, i'll look what can i do.
M9 is currently looks like in supported devices list.
And i don't have an option to block countries, so you should be able to install in Germany.

@doga.ozkaraca
Thanks for your fast reply!
I'll keep my fingers in relaxed position, as long as you wait for the statistics of Google

update link for apk downloaders
Here is an updated RotaryHome apk link for apk users. (build 31)
P.S: Google Play Store users already got the update about 5-6 hours ago.

The one and only true Z Flip cover screen IME
If blocking keyboards doesn't prevent using one,
does blocking them really make sense?​
After releasing the code to enable keyboards as part of SamSprung TooUI, this is a standalone cover screen IME. This project has been developed in the hope of one day being natively supported.

Setup is relatively easy.
Enable the permissions
-> appear over apps to allow it to display
-> accessibility to toggle it on the fly
Enable keyboard (do NOT set as default)
A free version has been released here through GitHub. The GitHub version has been posted exclusively on xda as a thank you to everyone who has been a part of SamSprung since it began. It is basic, but functional. The Google Play version will be updated with additional features and improvements.
Traditional keyboard functionality has been specifically blocked on the cover screen by a root level configuration.
This app bypasses current limitations by creating the keyboard around the field instead of fields requesting a cached keyboard instance.

It somehow not working for me.

Sorry for the delay. In pulling the keyboard out of the main app, it's still trying to end the service when the device goes idle. Since there is no longer a master service to restart it, it only runs once.
Fix should be up in a couple minutes.

Should stay alive now.
Being completely honest, the keyboard works about 100 times better separate from the launcher. The two biggest issues, one of which was restoring the default when not in use, are much easier to manage when all the other parts don't get in the way.
Now that it's a separate project, we can also start doing adjustable size and themes and all the other proper keyboard stuff that couldn't really fit before.

Added sound and vibration options. The sound may not sync perfectly. Still working out a better way to do that.
I've also decided to make the Google Play release a paid app to start recovering a little of the cost. The version here will still be free. The only real difference will be that the version on Google Play will continue to receive cosmetic updates and new features.

Nice. I'm actually glad you did a paid version of the keyboard given all the work you've done on the whole Samsprung development project. I didn't buy the Play Store version of the keyboard but I made another contribution today towards the Samsprung development project. I think everyone using the Samprung launcher and/or keyboard should at a minimum buy the Play Store version of the keyboard just to contribute in some way towards this project. It's a very small price to pay for something that has made our cover screen much better than what Samsung has done with it. Keep up the good work, twistedumbrella!!

Thanks @crawls69! You've always been a great supporter and it really means a lot.

The logcat button can collect a log of any crashes. If it isn't a crash, it may have to do with the type of entry box you're trying to use it on. What have you tried?

Responding to text messages from the native message app.

Alright. I'll run some tests and see if I can reproduce the issue.
Is it just not appearing at all? As in not even a flicker.

I rearranged some things to avoid the keyboard getting cancelled out by other views. Hopefully that will resolve the issue.

Not showing up at all.

Is that still the case? I was able to get it to stop appearing in a couple tests and patched those issues. I haven't been able to get it to not appear since, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of a situation I missed.

Admittedly, it is much MUCH easier to simply include the keyboard in the app using it, especially with accessibility.
Rather than catching the call to enable the keyboard, an InputConnection can be generated from the field itself. Some may not care about passing all of your views through the app, but I treat everyone else's data like I would my own. Grabbing the field and modifying it within the app seems like a huge risk for privacy concerns.
The alternative would be to create an invisible entry box and write to it. This would generate the required InputConnection and avoid directly traversing the screen, but has a large performance cost.
The final version is to temporarily take the default keyboard role. This gives the keyboard the default InputConnection and allows typing directly into an entry box, much the same way a conventional IME would do it. There is one part that hasn't been implemented yet to make this ideal, but where's the fun in copying code and not doing any work?

I was willing to accept the fact that I would never have the same experience on the Z Flip 3 cover screen that I did on my RAZR 5G cover display. But you keep getting us closer to it. I no longer miss the functionality of the RAZR 5G cover display (except for the fact that it's larger). That said, is there any way you can do an update that causes the cover screen to physically expand to perhaps 2.7 inches or so? LOL. You already accomplished what was apparently impossible for Samsung to do. Who knows??
As much as I use the cover screen, I was actually gonna get rid of the Z Flip 3 and go back to the RAZR 5G after Android 12 cause the widget version of Samsprung to stop working. I'm glad I didn't. I would be kicking myself right now.
I'm usually not one to throw shade but given what all has been accomplished with the Samsprung launcher and keyboard, Samsung should be really ashamed of themselves. I'm sure they have an army of resources at their disposal that could have easily gotten this done (they have a market capitalization in excess of $400 billion). They should offer you a licensing deal!!

Launcher with the ability to show frozen/disabled apps

Since years i was quite baffled that even most third-party launchers were refusing to offer a way to display frozen apps in a distinguishable way but i was never bothered to do any actual research into why and if there might be something out there that does it.
Today i was finally having enough and tried searching google for a solution with no avail. Only a stackexchange question that resulted in a definition war rather than pointing to solutions and a reddit thread from 9 months ago with no upvotes and no answer.
Thanks to the mentioned stackexchange question i downloaded Nova Launcher today and tried that, but although i really like the design, performance and customizability it does not seem to offer the key feature i was looking for.
What the launcher i'm searching for should offer:
A toggle to enable showing frozen apps in the app drawer (Like actually "pm disable" frozen, not some kind of workaround island type or greenified "hibernated")
When device rooted, tapping a frozen app will unfreeze and start it
When device unrooted it should just open the manage app screen for that device where android itself will offer an unfreeze button
Customizability; Show frozen apps semi-translucent, Show frozen apps in grayscale, Move frozen apps to the bottom of the list or in its own section/group
I forgot to mention that Lucky Patcher actually offers custom widgets to toggle apps but that has to be done manually for every app and is quite lacking in terms of looks and comfort
One last thing; I was even thinking about manually syncing the shortcuts via something like Tasker or Automagic4Android. But to be honest, even if it worked it would still be jank and more of a workaround than a solution

Never heard of or seen anything like that in my almost 10 years on this site and other sites, I'm pretty sure you won't find anything that can natively do what you want, you will probably have to end up settling for "janky workarounds".

interesting...and I was happy with Shortcut Maker apk lol
SDmaid still needs 4 taps to freeze/unfreeze apps while Andoid does that in about same number of taps. There is so much more customization that can be asked from Andoid.

The thing i settled for (for now) is using IceBox to create the shortcuts and just let it re-create them manually from time to time. Still needs some automation from Automagic though

I will be going into surgery next week and may not be available for a bit during recovery, so I will try to get everything done ASAP. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project and made it possible to finally take the time off needed to breathe normally again.

SamSprung was released one year ago today as the first app launcher for the cover screen. With nearly 2000 new downloads per version and over 800 builds released, we have reached over 1 million downloads. Cheers!

Just an update - surgery did not kill me and new builds should be filtering through as Google finishes reviewing them.

I love you so much this is my first flip and I am blown away by this neat app. appreciate ya.

There is a thread for that. It's not really appropriate for the individual app threads (since I assume you want an unbiased opinion).

Are the launcher icons too small? I recently received a bug report saying they were entirely too small, but also feel like making them much larger will make the launcher seem clunky on a 1 inch screen. I run a DPI that makes anyone over 40 cringe, so I am a bit partial to smaller icons for person use. Are other people struggling with the app icons?

To be fair I think it varies on the icons, like personally me I'm a big boy so got big thumbs but I hardly ever misclick something; but that's also as you said, 1 inch screen there isn't much you can do about it. Possibly having an option for size adjustment would be cool but I see no problems with it.

Google Play reviews are a little backed up, but new builds were pushed to improve the overall stability (and reliability) of removing helper views. This should solve a few of the issues with ghost screens preventing input and other bugs.

Is this no longer being developed?

The latest update was today. This thread is not a reflection of how active development is at any given time, though.
I don't really post announcements here because there isn't a whole lot to announce that anyone would come here to find.
Being open source, there is really no reason to explain what goes into each version. Downloads automatically show the changes since the previous version and building automatically happens when there are new changes. Google Play gets updated for every significant change.
Most bugs or requests get submitted through the app, so they aren't being posted here to reply. Any that aren't submitted to the GitHub directly come through email and are converted to GitHub issues.
This app doesn't have a paywall or features to unlock, so there is nothing to sell. It's kind of unnecessary to persuade anyone that a free app is worth trying because the price is already convincing.
Honestly, the lack of posts here is a positive sign that everything is running smoothly.

Yes, I am still here and still actively updating. TooUI now supports the Oppo Find N2 Flip.

Notice: Due to an Android 13 bug, touch is not passed to the stock launcher when TooUI is minimized. Double tap the SamSprung icon to temporarily disable the launcher until the screen is turned off.

Android 13 enabled another of Google's brilliant ideas to disable the ability of any window to pass touch to windows below it.
There are a few exceptions. A completely invisible window (so basically malware) is granted the ability to pass touch. A window more transparent than the arbitrary maximum opacity of an overlay (0.8 or 20% transparent) can also pass touch, but results in the window under it being visible through the current one. The last, and my personal favorite, is accessibility. By requesting ANY accessibility feature, such as retrieving notification text, you gain unrestricted access to control the entire device.
Google's only method to control accessibility is to require that at least one use case fits one of the ones they allow and that you notify the user before requesting access to accessibility that you are going to ask them for access to accessibility. Put simply, you need a nag screen.
On top of that stroke of brilliance, they are now planning to add extra permissions and disclaimers for services running in the foreground.
This means that any service that is required to notify you it is running and maintain a notification reminding you it is running will now have to make absolutely sure you know it will be running through a series of nag screens and disclosures.
Google is trying to emulate the security promises made by Apple, but trying to pass all of the work to individual developers. The end result being a platform no less insecure than it was, but with frustrated users and developers doing a lot of meaningless work.

For me the newest github release from yesterday works better than the one on google play. Nice work, my friend.
