I still can't get the bottom region to show up. No matter how many times I check those options, they don't actually stick and nothing happens. Can someone tell me how I can enable the bottom region for swiping up and disable all other regions? That's my goal...
[Android Apps and Games] pacosal:
Hi,

menu options with an asterisk are for licensed version. Is this your case?

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] maxwintrobe:
everything working fine for me with v2.5, using HP touchpad CM7 also.
[Android Apps and Games] SCWells72:
Ah, okay. Very likely so. Before I license it, can you comment on whether I can enable only the bottom region and disable all other regions including the standard side regions? I want the webOS-style behavior and don't want anything else trapping my swipes from the sides.

Thanks!

Yes, you can enable only the zones you want.

Task Changer - 23:30 - Público

May be tomorrow you can use version 3.0.0

- New options for licensed users ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] maxwintrobe:
just updated to 3.0

awesome, many thanks!!

EDIT: the "see action name at top" is a little distracting, maybe we can have setting to disable this, thanks.

2nd EDIT: the "go_home" action works on VTL.Launcher home screen now, e.g. i have home button binding set to bring up app drawer, but swiping zone for "go_home" action at home screen previously did nothing, now works and brings up the app drawer, terrific!!
[Android Apps and Games] pacosal:
Version 3.0.0 features:

- 10 zone actions available for you!, 2 for every zone. You must enable this at settings menu.

- Now you can see the action name at top while you're swiping zones

- Action will be launch when you release your finger

- Now non licensed version will be able to change zone width and colors

- Settings menu rearranged
[Android Apps and Games] pacosal:
I think version 3.0.0 is too sensitive. What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] melvinchng:
Quite good. It is what I want. But I still won't use it yet... eat too much ram... I've a suggestion, can you do something like what Nokia N9 edge swipe to change Asus? Their switching apps is so awesome.

[Android Apps and Games] maxwintrobe:
hey thanks, but to be honest i'm not 100% set on using that right action zone for go back.

Task Changer Pro is such a great app i still finding myself tweaking something new practically every day.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Maybe I'm missing something... but this is unusably slow.

Starting it takes 30+ seconds, using 100% CPU the entire time. If I exit, and launch it again, it again takes 30+ seconds. I imagine it'd also slow down boot time 30+ or more.

Adding a favorite takes 30-45s each time, apparently re-loading the list lf apps/icons each time. No way to select multiple ones, and it doesn't appear to cache the list or such, etc..

Dell Streak 7, Tegra 2.. Pretty fast device, appbrain says I have 236 apps installed (probably 200 market, rest built-in stuff).
[Android Apps and Games] pacosal:

Download apk from Android Market becouse it is the same version with different content.
[Android Apps and Games] maxwintrobe:
v3.3.0 very nice, working beautifully.

no issues here. installed and running fine on HP Touchpad (CM7) as well as BN Nook Color (1.3 rooted), only comment is that the slightly raised screen bezel on the NC makes swiping in from side a little clunky but thats a hardware design issue.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I suspect it's some conflict, not sure.. I typically use Wave Launcher, so I disabled it entirely before trying this app.. otherwise, dunno, but it was pretty obvious when it was installed and removed in Battery Snap's battery graph. I'll try it again, maybe disable Wave Launcher, install it, reboot.

But 45s to launch.. eh.. I'll send the debug log if that persists. :) And similar time to add _each_ favorite.....
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Okay, so I did what I said, disabled Wave Launcher, installed task Changer, rebooted. I still got the "running apps" popup at boot up (is that expected? Shouldn't show anything at start IMO, just do its thing with the zones) and it seemed faster to operate. Still a few quirks..

First view of the list of apps for Favorites took 30s or so.. I've grown to expect this, it takes time to enumerate the list from Android, pretty consistent with other apps. And as long as I did one after another, the list was cached so it came up really fast, but if I did pretty much anything else, 30s again. But at least it was caching between immediate times, it didn't seem to be doing that the other day..

Doing settings, hitting back, always shows the "running apps" and sticks there until I hit Home. Can't hit back, etc... And can't hit menu again either (I was tweaking some zone size/position/etc settings).

It'd be nice to have an alternate view of the Favorites, app tray style. Icon, smaller font title etc, rather than a long list. I can certainly see the use for both, but be nice to have a different type of view here as well.

And while I'm wishlisting here... What about a few that shows recent and running apps in the same view? Condense them into the same view I mention above, icon + small text, like apptray/launcher etc.

Might consider a portrait and landscape zone position independently. I wanted my zone to start at the bottom so I had to put like 600 in there, that pushed it to the bottom for both p/l.

WebOS style... I'm missing something, how is this different from the apptray action?

I'll watch battery on the tablet today.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Okay, I have the normal and upper zones enabled, but the upper ones either disappear or they both pop up in the middle of the screen REALLY FAT and in the wrong place, then randomly fix themselves....

Think it still doesn't handle landscape/port switches very well..

[Android Apps and Games] Nebucatnetzer:
I saw the app on the XDA portal and thought I give it a shot since I'm a huge

fan of Swipepad.

Which brings me to my suggestions

A swipe action or something to open a favourite app would be cool to improve the handling. If you're having your hands on the side of the tablet and use swiping to process an action then you've to release your hands from the sides just to open the app feels a bit inconsistent. It's very hard to explain actually. If you're used to Swipepad you understand what I mean.

Another nice thing would be if we could tap on the screen to close a window. I know we could just press the back key or swipe back I just think it would be handy.

Is there any way you could give us the option to disable the little white dialog box at the bottom of the popup menu? Ex. when you launch your favorites menu, at the bottom is a white box that says "Tap to launch / Long Tap to add Favorite". Just a option to hide this white box would be great!

Option to show / hide Help at bottom having a weird behavior

The option to show / hide the Help box at bottom is great but it's been having a weird behavior on my phone (details at the signature): after I disable showing the Help box it disappears from Favorites and Running Apps (I'm only using two zones), but the Help box returns next time I use any of the zones.

Need Help

I'm just getting started with this app and must be confused.

I'm running with what ever the app defaults are, on a rooted Samsung Galaxy S 4G running Gingerbread.

I see the 4 colored stripes 2 on each side. Nothing happens when I press or swipe them. In fact depending on the type of swipe I just scroll to the adjacent home screen.

What am I missing?
[Android Apps and Games] pacosal:
What a strange thing!

Did you see the videos?

pacosal
[Android Apps and Games] kmandel:
I think my problem was touching more than the colored stripe, letting the OS see the event and doing what it would do in that context. For example on a home screen that might make it move to the adjacent home screen, or bring up the "add to home screen" menu.

It looks like the swipe should originate from the edge beyond the visible display so as to be sure to hit the stripe first without hitting anything in the interior. On my phone there is only a narrow strip of bezel beyond the visible display. I also went and set the stripe width to maximum to help. Being very careful I can activate it most of the time, but not every time. Maybe I will get better at it.

This is phone has Samsung touch-wiz on it. I wonder if that is making it more difficult.

Just purchased the license for Titanium. Definitely faster and smoother.

Some suggestions regarding the design.

So far very good, but the menu bottom and the help part at the lower part of a window are kind of an eye catcher and in my opinion kind of disturbing.

What do you think to do both also in semi transparent background as the rest of the window? The menu of course also. This would result in a very clean and smooth window.

Keep up the good work.

[Android Apps and Games] Bakai_TG:
I use Myphoneexplorer and when I add mfe note to my favorites mpe client is actually added. Also, lgcamera has two separate icons (for photo and for video). And when I click one of them error happens.

Also I suggest the developer to try or to know more about Powerstrip. That was a very good app. Think about making your app a widget switcher. You could make a widget for recent apps, a widget for active apps( and services), a widget for all apps etc. The best thing about power strip was that I could change music using a widget from camera app while the camera was recording a video.
