Hi xuso, first of all; good luck!

actually you should not miss the point that your AltDrawer app is -afaik- the only application, the only alternative for those especially who are with MIUI (I am one if them) because it has no app drawer at all (because of its ios looking design as you know) but users who do not like it prefer your app as well, like me. Thereby you may make money by improving it and also by keeping your support live whenever needed (in conn with future updates in android os, if required) as well. At the present, only issue with it is FC (hv mentioned it already in my prev post)

Regards

Any plans to get in on the market?

It's pretty damn great as it is now
[Android Apps and Games] scottx .:
Looks a lot better than it did some months ago.

I hate how it won't let me change the font size below 12. 10 would be perfect for it won't allow it. Just resets itself to 12.
[Android Apps and Games] King_Rat:
Just been trying this (again) on new ROM - DroniX [Samnium] 0.5.4 ^^

very finikee to get icons changed... used a mixed procedure of D ring & touch screen to get icons to take...

Does take a second to start... but for a fully tweaked app drawer it's worth the wait...

not remebering path of icon folder being used is a big pain in the :beep:

pros outweigh the cons (just)
[Android Apps and Games] schizovivek:
even if u put up ur app in the market with an option to donate i think u can say gud bye to your day job :) .. luv ur app.. dont use any other
[Android Apps and Games] IntelSoftApps:
I am a developer it is worth uploading to the market! Obviously, it won't boom instantly, but give it a few weeks and you will be surprised!

Just my thought from another developer...

Donate versions are good but i have learned to take the free or trial with a pro version route instead.

This app is SO needed!

Please, could someone else (with the creator's permission) update this app?
[Android Apps and Games] Druida69:
A) In “Backgound Transparency” options are swapped, e.g., when we click + got less transparent and when we click - goes more transparent.

Wasn't this supposed to be the other way around?

B) What can we do with the icons and folders we don’t want to see in the main windows (not the ones in the app drawer)?

C) Inside the appdrawer, how can we create a shortcut from an app ito the mainscreen?

Long press in an icon I get the following options (Hide/Details/Uninstall/Create Shortcut/Edit). I choose create shortcut but nothing happens.

D) Xuso, want help translate it to Portuguese? Just tell me what to do and I do it!

I would like some help, specially with points B & C.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] xavihernandez:
Yeah ok man thank you anyways, your application works great. Only missing feature is, I repeat, adding applications launched from AltDrawer in recent apps then then can use long press on home button to switch between applications.
[Android Apps and Games] Druida69:
you can mention some suggestions ;)
[Android Apps and Games] blankman:
Works great on my Atrix with CM7 and EspierLauncher (iPhone theme)! Excellent work!
[Android Apps and Games] holgalee:
I love this app drawer! Only wish is to create folders. :D

Thank you Xuso, for sharing your talent in coding.
[Android Apps and Games] maddada:
can u please add folders? i love that the scrolling is really smooth btw
[Android Apps and Games] xavihernandez:
I assume you are on MIUI (if not then do not read further).

To hide icon on desktops: Settings > Personal > Access Control > Swipe to put ON "Enable Password". Then choose icons you want to hide.

Now I think that your C) has no sense, since you can't create shortcut on MIUI: by defaut all icons are on desktops, shortcut can't exist for an application, you just have to show/hide.

I already know that develoment has been stopped, but xuso (or anyone else) can guide me to how switch between applications after they have been launched from AltDrawer. It's the 3rd time I talk about that but no solution at all.

I think it's a real miss from xuso, because (almost) all ROM got long press home to switch between recent apps.
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
HI AGAIN!

I'll try to fix all the existing bugs and implement new features. All can I say now is that I've started again to develop Alt Drawer :)

Well, I can say this, too:

I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE NEXT VERSION WILL BE RELEASED, SO PLEASE DON'T ASK.

I'm doing this for you guys, but my time is the same that when I wrote a few days ago :p so don't push me :o

It will be the 1.0, the wait may be long, but I hope it worth :D

BTW, I'm adding a poll to the first post, please vote :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] hikarugo:
I really hope it has a feature to make the app performs like a launcher. I think it will be great going directly to the drawer when we press the home button, like the iphone, but I will use grid instead of horizontal paged.
[Android Apps and Games] Are.Two:
Awesome. I can't wait (but obviously have to) for the next release. I've been using it since the first release and it continues to be a staple in my MIUI experience. Thank you for keeping us updated on your situation and letting us know that you've picked it up again!

[Android Apps and Games] fluxgfx:
Kudo's to you mate. Very nice little alternate display for the drawer.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] dragonithe:
The app works great on my Desire, the first load can take some time, but after that it's really smooth.

Some suggestions are:

A bounce back effect instead of the gingerbread glow.

An ability to change how fast the drawer losses it's momentum after a swype.

And maybe an nice animation like launcherpro has when you open the app (I can understand if this is really hard to do, but it would be nice :) )
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
1. Innecessary work, for me. What's wrong with bouncing default animation of Gingerbread?

2. I don't know how to do that (If you know, PM me ;))

3. First, I need to learn animations in Android haha (this is my first android app, remember :) )
[Android Apps and Games] jakeellis01:
great..... not as smooth as launcher pro's drawer though... wonder why :/ edit: i think because launcher pro doesn't use surface dithering/colour smoothing (gingerbread)... making it silky smooth... i suggest you try it out ;)

still great installment.. will give it a good test run once you get the hide feature working :)
[Android Apps and Games] M4tty:
Excellent app. I'm not getting the lag others are complaining about. It works great for me and I'm even running Gravity home with live shortcuts.
[Android Apps and Games] valesavex:
Really smooth on my GalaxyS ( Cyanogen Nightly+Glitch Kernel OC 1,2 Ghz)...

should be nice to set it as standard drawer with launchers...dunno if's possible!!!
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Thanks for the tip ;)

Thanks ;)

Not my competence :o
[Android Apps and Games] :
Wow that was fast, Great job =]

Hee, Just checked it out I meant moving the home button left or right on the bottom (For docks) Your way of doing it is great for people with tablets and have exotic homescreens. Great Job with the new release!
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Hahaha LOL... I missunderstood you, mea culpa.

The truth is that I found a bit strange that, but no asked :D

Will change it in next release, sorry :o

To be sure, you mean this?:

[-------HOME------]

[HOME-------------]

[-------------HOME]
[Android Apps and Games] :
No need to be sorry! You're the most responsive app developer I have seen in a long time. I'm grateful that you're doing this =]

And Yes I did mean like that =]
[Android Apps and Games] samuraiinblack:
Epic user here.

Love the app. If I had to nitpick though, it would be the way the drawer seems to take a bit in shifting from portrait to landscape, as if lagged, compared to the app drawer in LauncherPro. This is the case for a background color, image, or just the wallpaper. Seems to take a bit on my phone. Not a dealbreaker mind you, but if it's something that could be fixed, that'd be great.
[Android Apps and Games] Intermec:
not really really a bug, but if i select altdrawer from within appdrawer, it just goes back to homescreen ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] yorkshiretyke:
Working great on desire running Xj' Miui Rom

[Android Apps and Games] k9plums:
works great on my desire, but the only thing that could make it better for me is if it can replace the normal app drawer button in sense.
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
You have an app to do that: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bh.android.TargetHomeLauncher&hl=es

I don't know how it works, just try it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] BenRoark:
Alt Drawer is under development again! Best news I've had today.

This is a really slick app with awesome features. I use it for CM7-based ROMs. Performs really well, too, when you untick the beta refresh option.
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Well, it is that way because that how the alpha channel works (from 0 -opaque- to 255 or 1 -transparent-), but I can understand your confusion. Let me think about it.

That's MIUI stuff, not mine. You've been answered a few post above ;)

Well, that's the suppossed behaviour, but I don't know why on some roms is not working. On my CM7 works perfect. I'll try to figure it out.

I'll contact you when next release is out.

Thanks to you ;)
[Android Apps and Games] hikarugo:
Well, the notification icon of that app annoys me
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
:rolleyes:

Added to my really looong to-do list. I'll try to implement in some way... :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] xavihernandez:
I wish you add "applications in recent apps when launched from AltDrawer" ^^

I love Fridays!
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Yes, that's already on my list ;)

BTW, that happens to you always? I mean, on my phone, almost all the apps shows up in recent apps.
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Long Overdue

This app belongs on the Android Market.
[Android Apps and Games] xavihernandez:
It happens for all (or almost) apps launched from AltDrawer. Those launched from desktops are naturally added in Recent Apps.
[Android Apps and Games] H-Streety:
Thanks for this! I missed app drawer a lot in MIUI
[Android Apps and Games] mchu6am4:
Hi...great app look forward to next release as i really missed an app drawer in miui....

I have a suggestion: it would a great idea to have 'tabbed' drawer with app category tabs titled for example 'All', 'Recent', 'Internet', 'Multimedia' 'Infotainment', 'Games' 'Utilities', etc etc...

That would give this app drawer the edge over any other app drawer....what do you guys think?
[Android Apps and Games] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Yea some feature for organizing apps would make this perfect. Folders or tabs works for me. Only other thing I want is better performance because it lags sometimes.

[Android Apps and Games] nico++:
Thank You for this awesome app (but could you add this functionality ?)

Hello

Thank You for this awesome app.

I'm sorry but I don't speak English so it's difficult to explain You what is missing in my mind to do You app a perfect drawer.

I think You should add index on the right of list view to jump into to a selected letter.

I'm ton sure to use the correct words and maybe this sentance is not correct so I join a screenshot to show You what is in my mind.
[Android Apps and Games] xavihernandez:
Indeed it may be a good feature for users with tons of applications.
[Android Apps and Games] Mazgalin:
Its nice tried it on miui :-)) keep up the good job
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Yeah, it's on my to-do list for the next release. It will be at 1.0 ;)

Thanks for the feedback. Now it's the moment to ask for new (reasonables) features :D
[Android Apps and Games] Izee Sulz:
If it is possible could you please include a 3d vertically scrolling, app drawer in the update.
[Android Apps and Games] festa20:
1. 3d app drawer

2. Lock app in memory

3. Maybe a better vertical pageanted app drawer (No offence to the current one)

4. The alphabetized selection (as mention above :D )

Other than that this app is percent for me :)

I'm searching for something like this a long time now and this app is just amazing :D

Its very fast and because its high customization options it looks pretty good :p
[Android Apps and Games] jambamkin:
On the theme of features.I think I have mentioned this before, but if icon replacements could be saved, they could be shared as themes. Having a separate theme I'm draw to homescreen I think would lead to much creativity.

I was gunna say you should share a list of possible features of 1.0. Then I checked the OP, where I found a list of possible features.

[Android Apps and Games] mchu6am4:
How about the suggestions below...any chance of implementation and what do you guys think? Good idea?
[Android Apps and Games] bringonblink:
Recent appz fix please
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Well, that can be done (the themes thing), I'll think about it.

I prefer you to ask for new features and I answer if can be done, if not, or if was in my mind already. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
I'm doing it with folders, not categories. Sorry, but I just can take one way to organize the apps, and I think folders is way better :)
[Android Apps and Games] bringonblink:
How about a script for miui that runs and turns each icon on home screen to hidden so we dont have to go through 50 apps manually.

Its done in settings,access control, then click and hide
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
That will cost a much more to me than you to multi-select a few apps, you don't think so? :rolleyes: It's not just Android programming, I should watch inside MIUI to see how it works and if those settings are accessible via code (furthermore, currently, I don't have a device with MIUI to try). I'm not doing this for now, I hope you understand ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Ae3sar:
Good work man ^_^ ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bringonblink:
You can't multi select that's the problem.

Ok don't worry about it,not a big deal

Hey guys,

I gave this app a shot yesterday. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out if there's a way to a)use this a THE drawer in a MIUI Rom and b)hide all the MIUI apps from the screen.

E.g. the Launcher Pro doesn't display any apps on the screen since it's not the MIUI Launcher. Am I right that this app only get's integrated in the launcher and that therefore the apps are still on the screen?

[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Well, I have the account, but no, I don't use it :D
[Android Apps and Games] lotherius:
To hide the apps, you have to create a folder and move them all into it. Yes, by hand, as in, manually. And then move that folder to a screen other than your homescreen so you never see it.
[Android Apps and Games] Are.Two:
You could move them all to a folder, OR, you could do the following:

Menu > Settings > Personal > Access Control

In this menu, you have the option to hide any of the icons you choose to. For some reason, there are a few that you're not able to hide at the moment. Those ones you will have to put into a folder. But, that's only like 4 or 5 system icons. Do that option and continue to use this as your app drawer and all is well.
[Android Apps and Games] Erbsenkönig:
Ok. Is there any way to have more than 4 dock icons in the Miui launcher? I'd like to have the drawe in the middle then, surrounded by 4 icons.
[Android Apps and Games] roenano:
In MIUI you can have up to 6 apps icons on the dock.
[Android Apps and Games] theadb:
So glad I came across this. Looking forward to new versions :)

Thanks for your hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] :
This is great, it really helps the miui launcher.

If it was just a tiny bit smoother (comparing to launcherpro app drawer) it would be perfect, since you already have everything else covered!

Help Needed

Hi All..

This App is what I was looking for long time.

But I want to replace this drawer instead of default one on the dock.

I am using Samsung Galaxy S2 and Stock Rom Rooted.

Tell me please How can I replace this one. I am placing this but I can't remove original

App drawer icon from dock.
[Android Apps and Games] :
This is meant to be used with a launcher that allows you to customize which apps are on the dock. For example, with launcherpro, you would long press the app drawer icon and change the shorcut to launch the alt drawer app.

If you are using the stock launcher, you won't be able to remove the app drawer afaik.

You may as well try launcherpro out anyway, since it is awesome. XD

[Android Apps and Games] Little Dragon:
This method isn't working for me anymore. I'm using file expert and the file just won't paste into system/app
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
It should work. You granted File expert superuser privileges and you mounted system as read/write, right? I don't use it any more (I use Total Commander) but perhaps there is something wrong with File expert.
[Android Apps and Games] xavihernandez:
Then try with es file explorer. Enable root permissions before. Superuser app should ask you to confirm root rights for es file explorer.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Using titanium backup to make it a system app does the same thing. That's as easy as it gets! XD

Note: after you make it a system app, do a new backup so you can restore it after flashing a new rom; it will disappear.

[Android Apps and Games] IvoAvidos:
hy everybody, I just installed this app on SGS MintBerry NEO18, i tryed the titanium backup method to prevent the app from closing every time it goes in background, cuz the time it takes the reload when i start it is very annoying, and rebooted the phone.

The app still keeps closing and reloading every time.

Phone is rooted obv..

Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] SupremeBeaver:
Yeah I also tried the methods mentioned in the op, the app still reloads every so often
[Android Apps and Games] suksit:
First of all, thanks for this great little app!

I am having a problem with AltDrawer. Here's the situation:

I installed AltDrawer in /system/app and have "Auto-load apps at boot" option enabled.

Every time after I reboot my phone, if I try to launch an app from AltDrawer, it (AltDrawer) will get force closed. Then I have to re-launch AltDrawer and everything will work fine until next reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] xavihernandez:
Means that u "converted" app to system app?
[Android Apps and Games] SupremeBeaver:
Yes. I didn't think making it a system app would stop it from being kicked out of memory, it still needs higher priority
[Android Apps and Games] xavihernandez:
Ok ok. When I used it it was not reloading. I hope you find the way to solve it!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Try downloading autokiller, longpress on AltDrawer and press "lower oom value." It basically keeps it alive until you run down to like 10 mb ram (depending on your current ram management settings.

It isn't a full solution and you need to repeat the process after every time altdrawer loads. In the end, I just ended up using a folder in miui for my apps. It's not superior, but I don't have to wait for it to load.

It's unfortunate because besides the reload, it's a really sweet app drawer! There has to be a permanent solution, no?
