I was looking at BT homescreen plugins, and it seems that the biggest drawback is that plugins take up a whole line or row of the homescreen.
I could make more3 use of a line/row if I used a shortcuts bar the an icon to enable and another to disable...
Is this possible?
hey guys i'm looking for an android app that will allow me to start apps or do some task by swiping a certain pattern when i'm on the desktop screen.
for example if i swipe upwards it will bring up the app drawer, if i swipe down it will open the notifications, if i 'Z' swipe some other app/task will launch etc etc
any suggestions much appreciated
LauncherPro has some of what you're talking about, but you can only have one swipe direction (up). But you can put pretty much anything there. For example, I have my swipe shortcuts related to the actual shortcut. Shortcut- camera. Swipe - gallery. Shortcut - phone. Swipe - contacts... you get the idea.
not exactly what you're looking for, but similar:

I find SwipePad incredibly useful. Not exactly gestures but one swipe can get you to 12 apps or shortcuts. It works with Anycut too so they can be anything.

Maybe this? Haven't tried it, but sounds like what you're describing: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.reeyees.gesturelauncher&feature=search_result

Just a warning about Swipepad, while it is a useful app, it will break any third party screen brightness apps/widgets, so you will only be able to control screen brightness via stock android controls.
I have tried to get the dev to address this, but he does not seem interested in doing so.

sometimes google is really slow at adding things to the play store
The app is just added into Google Play, please wait a moment before it's available to download.
PS: It seems that Google recently delays upto hours before making an app available to download

In the mean time, you may use a Torch app and make a shortcut on quickbar that you can quickly toggle it.
great app, thank you!
some observations:
- when searching through the contacts, it's not listed in alphabetical order
- if device is locked, when using create new sms, the device does not unlock, it just launches the messaging app behind the lock screen, would be great if it unlocks the device

Confirm these issues. Hope to fix it soon. Thanks for report.
a shortcut for the default alarm clock would also be nice
Hi Bao, hit me up with a PM if you're avail. for future freelance projects in Sai Gon

Reboot
Could you add a confirmation dialog to the reboot feature and a check box in settings for those of us that want the dialog box?
Also, could you add an option to merge multiple notification bars into one and put an arrow at the end(s) to switch between the bars?
why don't you take one picture up here?
Picture 1 shows how the notification bar would look before clicking the arrow on the right and picture 2 shows both notification bars and the arrows on the end of each shows that they are linked.
Two ways that this could be implemented are:
All bars are automatically linked and you could only have 1 bar showing at a time
Long press on one of the bars and click a link icon and then click another bar, with this you might want to put a box around the linked bars and automatically move them next to each other
I hope this makes it clearer.
thanks
I also thought that if you are able to make linked bars, that there could be an option to automatically create the linked bars after a limit has been met. Like a check box to enable a limit and another option to set a limit, list or text box. This would make this app that much more user friendly.
Great program
This program works great for me, unlike another similar notification bar program I tried that caused unexpected/unwanted changes to my phone's behavior.
Keep up the good work.

How to edit?
leducbao - this is a wonderful app, I use it all the time. A couple of things that I have not worked out, however, are:
1 How to edit an existing bar e.g. remove/replace shortcuts?
2 How to re-order icons in a "new" or "existing" bar (linked to question 1)?
I cannot find that these two issues are clarified in your FAQ and feel it would be really cool if they were explained (then again, I might have missed something, sorry if that's the case!).
Congratulations on a really, really good app.

This app allows you to have as many touchable areas (triggers) on the screen as you want and each trigger allows you to open different sidebars depending on the touch gesture on it. Everything in this app is persobalisable.
Special features:
arbitrary number of apps, shortcuts, widgets or folders to a sidebar
arbitrary number of handles
many triggers to open a sidebar (slide up/down/left/right, click, double click, long press)
personalize colors, sizes, transparency, use icon packs and much more
Action Folder - clicking it directly opens the first app in the folder, swiping on it opens the folder
Action Sidebar - the trigger does not open a sidebar but directly start an app or a shortcut
Sidepages - page that shows your apps and allow you to fastly search them with the T9 predictive keyboard
Material Palette Colors - fastly select material colors
Quick Colors - fastly select colors that match your current wallpaper (material palette method to extract the main colors of your current wallpaper)
Supports resent apps and blacklists on all android versions
Planned features that are currently developed:
sidepage with direct widgets on it just like a real drawer and freely positionable apps, shortcuts, widgets and folders
integrate contacts and allow them to be search like apps on the all apps sidepages
...
Any feedback is appreciated and feature requests are welcome.
DEMO
Demo video will come the next days, that demonstrates all the main features with descriptions. In the meanwhile, here are the raw videos that shortly demonstrate the app:

Tried the app - good
I tried the app; very good. I am on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S, 10.5", running on a SlimLP Android 5.1.1. The store would not let me download the app, stating it was not "compatible" with my device. I downloaded the file to my phone, backed it up, and installed it unto my tablet. I seems to be working fine.
Nice app, great bunch features and configuration. Endless possibilities. This app deserves more attention.
See it in action.

Excellent tool. Still thinking to get the pro but I suggest the following:
- Selection by sliding, without lifting the finger (Glovebox´s app style)
- Improve the floating widget because widget is not responding smoothly
Thanks.
I am really liking this so far and I plan on buying. Everyone should install this app and play with it for a few days, don't dismiss it too quickly it is very nice. Good job dev. Thanks
I installed the app yesterday and it is really great, congratulations on your app @prom85 :good:
I have some ideas to further improve the app, maybe you like the ideas, too:
1. Possibility to open sidebar/sidepage with a shortcut without having to use handle. A fast workaround would be allowing to set the width of a handle to 0dp.
2. Possibility to adjust the size of a sidebar/sidepage. I would like to have a sidepage with minimum size to see all my favorite apps on it. Therefore it would be great, if the sidepage would decrease its size if I decrease the number of rows/columns. A fast workaround would be increasing the maximum dp of possible padding in all directions to 1000(?).
3. I think I found a little bug: I use custom rom with navigation bar and I open sidebar/sidepage with a button on the navigation bar (via shortcut) and most of the time it works well. But sometimes not only the sidebar/sidepage opens but also your app opens in background of the sidebar/sidepage. The problem is, that I don't know why or when the functionality switches to "open both: app and sidebar/sidepage". Maybe you can have a look at it.
Last but not least I have a question: Is it right that I can use with the pro version icon packs AND change in addition the icons manually that don't look nice with the icon pack?
With kind regards

This is a useful app with many options. It is progressively getting better.
Hello
I try to enable the dynamic permissions (read contacts and call phone) but I don't know how
Is it possible to inform me anyone how to do that?
Hello partners
I'm Seeking for a widget like beautiful widgets, transparent weather clock, etc which shows time and weather (weather is not essential) and allow to perform actions by touching a part of the widget (the hour, the minute, the city ..) and allow it without unlocking the phone (I mean the swipe security screen lock).
The problem with these is that I put is that not allow to execute actions ROM, gravitybox, etc, only allow launch installed applications.
Buzz widget allow actions, but pressing the entire widget, so you can only put one.
My idea is for example that if I press the minutes do toggle wifi, if I press the hours toggle sound / silence, etc.
Any ideas?
I've tried many (Beautifu widgets, 3D widget, Bright weather, Go weather, Transparent weather, Weather & clock, Weather xl, zooper, buzz, uccw ..) but none fits both needs or I am not capable of it.
Another idea that occurred to me is to find a way to make shorcuts/activities appearing on the list of installed applications but I don't have found a way to do it..
Greetings and thank you very much
beautiful widget

Hi
Beautiful widget don't allow to launch shorcuts or activities, just installed apps
Try Chronus. You can set up on-click-actions (open apps, open popups, executing shortcuts) when clicking on parts of the widget (clock, weather, ...). Great in combination with Popup Widget.

Thanks mate I'l try Chronus
on the other hand, I'm at work right now and I can't see the youtube Popup Widget video and the google play description is very lacking (at least for me)
Could you please tell me what Popup Widget 2 does?
Edit: AFAIK is to have launch widgets via icons, isn't it? So you save space in the screen

Basically, you can create popup widgets (using every available widget from your device's apps), that can be bound to gestures, icon clicking, shortcuts and more. I would recommend to try both Chronus and Popup Widget when you have some spare time (up to 2 hours will be enough, I guess).
For example, if you create a swipe up gesture, you can launch your favourite music player widget, which will just pop up in a pre-defined area.

Great!!!
What app gestures do you work?
I'm using gesture-navigation which is great but unfortunately seems that will be dead in a close future.

Most custom ROMs (or even some launchers, like Nova Launcher) have in-built gesture support.
