Can you pm the link please of that please ?
[Android Software Development] rolear8:
Could you please share the link ?
[Android Software Development] DiamondJohn:
fooView - FV Float Viewer - Apps on Google Play

[Android Software Development] revdirty:
I'd love a link as well to any alt app of this .. I have used lmt forever
[Android Software Development] rolear8:
I havent got it yet, hopefully someone share it
[Android Software Development] lynnux:
It's the app shared above, in post #14,263. I tried it, lots of options. I prefer the simplicity of LMT. It still works fine for my needs, even if it never gets updated again.
[Android Software Development] DiamondJohn:
You must be kidding me!
[Android Software Development] ReyStunner:
My recent app button doesn't work since this week. It has root and accessibility access too
[Android Software Development] IronTechmonkey:
A possible workaround tested on Moto Stock Android 10 rooted with Magisk. Not sure about Android 11.

LMT config > Pie tab > any item > key = 187

or

LMT config > Pie tab > any item >

> script = input keyevent KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH

If those don't work there might be other issues or restrictions in Android 11.
[Android Software Development] IronTechmonkey:
I'm also still getting great use out of LMT on devices running Android 8-10 rooted stock and LOS ROMs and even on a relatively limited stock Moto Android 10 ROM.

Here's a screenshot of LMT and the Tasker scene with which it is integrated and through which I control most things on the devices. I too am minding that expiration date.
[Android Software Development] DiamondJohn:
It does not sound like its the same thing, but it just may be related.

I am on A11 using a Pixel 4a. I use a custom launcher, so I disabled the stock launcher; froze * hid it. As soon as the stock launcher is disabled, the recents stopped working (no matter how I tried to trigger it) and the swipe up from the bottom edge as home gesture also stopped working. I was in shock that both appear to be handled by the launcher, and not the android OS. What makes it worse, is that even though my custom launcher is set as the default home app, it goes into phases where when I swipe up for home, it will go to the stock launcher and not my custom launcher; since I cant disable the stock launcher. But if I swipe up for home while on my custom launcher, it does not go to the standard launcher; usually fail's from google play, and it appears to some times "get in a groove"and others not so much. But now I am just ranting....:mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Android Software Development] IronTechmonkey:
Indeed, I agree with you that it's not the same thing. I suggested testing those commands because if they don't work then the problems not with LMT. As to the other stuff, I feel your pain, having experienced some of the symptoms you describe although less frequently.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
LMT is still doing what I need on Android 11 - Samsung One UI V3.1 Unrooted.

I've been basically using the same setup for the last several years & there's no difference in how LMT behaves.
[Android Software Development] rolear8:
How do you make it work without root ?
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
Just install the apk - Mind you not all the features work - But the ones that I need do without Root or adb - ie: app shortcuts & the Power Menu.
[Android Software Development] 93fuelslut:
I hate this new xda app. Can someone point me in the direction for a link. I can't even find the search button
[Android Software Development] Drhedphuk:
Go back a few pages and you will find a link posted.
[Android Software Development] 93fuelslut:
I found a link a page back, but when I click it , it sends me to my fb.
[Android Software Development] IronTechmonkey:
That is likely the byproduct of the fact that Facebook page was the last open website in the browser that is receiving the download. In my case something very similar happens while the download procedes in the background silently; just now confirmed with the link on the previous page in the XDA app. Check the download folder on the internal SD card or whatever operating system to default download folder is to see if the file was downloaded in the background. If it was not you can try accessing XDA from a browser and download the file that way.
[Android Software Development] 93fuelslut:
What's the color code for transparent or even 70% transparent?

#ff00000000 or #00000000 isn't working for transparent
[Android Software Development] Natakranta:
I totally forgot about the built-in expiration date!

Only 198 days left for me o_O I can't imagine how I will live without it.

I'm using the same setup from KitKat till now on A11.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - I'm down to 191 days - So January 9th 2022 looks like the "best before" date at the moment - Hopefully LMT will be around for a bit longer 🤞

[Android Software Development] subodh human:
Hey guys,

Why can't I find the download link in the post? am I blind or what?

If anyone does have it please post it
[Android Software Development] gimpy1:
subodh human, PM sent.

Edit: wow, I just noticed that misspelling. Sorry, corrected
[Android Software Development] Primokorn:
It has been removed. It seems the project is discontinued now... It would have been better to edit OP with a clear warning.

Is this project going to be open source?

159 days remaining... Don't understand why OP kept this expiration date in the latest version...
[Android Software Development] DiamondJohn:
Open source has been discussed / asked many times, and the dev has explicitly chosen not to open source it. There are MANY reason we are not privy to as to why its not open source. People with android expect all apps to be open source, which is not the norm for source code on all other platforms. Open source is only a small percentage of all apps. Its possible, that s0me of the source is part of another comercial project th dev is working on, so open sourcing all the code would not be an option. bThe source code is the devs, and as such, the decision is his and his alone.

The fact it had a time-limit on it (TOTAL PROJECTION/GUESS) makes me think that the dev was keeping his options open to one day go paid. Again, just a guess. Spoiler content hidden.

I also find it surprising that its the non-devs that always ask for open source, but they are not the ones who would edit/maintain the code/builds, so again, expect someone else to do the work. I personally am thankful for the time I had with this app. I have now moved on to fooView. And this wont be the last app I have ever used that will fade away to a slow death. Its life with android (and everything els) using non Google / MS / Apple apps. But even Google have killed off apps I use to use.
[Android Software Development] Primokorn:
OP is my main priority when I search important information in a thread. noname doesn't want to open source the code, that's up to him but removing download links and not posting any official information in OP is definitively not a good practive, especially after so many years.

You didn't write to the good guy to say that about open source. Great projects have been abandoned in the past and new folks took up the torch to continue the development. Without open source more projects would be dead today.

Actually free/libre softwares are the best choice but open source is great too for specific situations. Most of the apps I use are neither libre nor open source by the way.

They are several possibilities to contribute to an open source project. I'm not a dev but I spent a lot of time to contribute to open source projects.

Most Android users don't know what open source means by the way lol
[Android Software Development] IronTechmonkey:
The points you each make are not mutually exclusive and I agree with both to some extent. IMO @DiamondJohn was not criticizing the idea of open source itself but rather the fact that many users, expect to be given retired projects by the people who originally created them without taking up the development themselves or contributing to testing. That criticism of the behavior of people seems to sit apart from any criticism about the value of open source itself. @Primokorn, I mostly agree with your assessment of the importance of open source and perhaps we both think it is more important than @DiamondJohn does, but that is separate from the criticism of users who expect to be given the fruits of other people's labor. Also to your point, if it was open source then it would be easier for others to continue development or people could try to contact the developer to make a direct arrangement; but I don't see anyone doing either of those things here.

In any event, one thing we can probably all agree on is that if the developer removed the material there should be some accompanying announcement in the original posts of the thread.
[Android Software Development] noname81:
Just to make it clear: I never removed material from the OP; it was automatically removed when XDA switched to the new website.

I also see the expiration date coming. My idea is to post a new version with expiration date removed before it expires. LMT is not my main focus anymore, since I now do a lot of other fancy Android stuff. But I'll still try to support you guys with a new version!
[Android Software Development] IronTechmonkey:
Having seen my old attachments and images disappear I should have realized what happened with the attachments. Apologies for my part in the confusion. Also, apart from development and in light of these interesting times we are in, it just nice to know people are still around - in general. Cheers!
[Android Software Development] hugozo:
Thanks for the answer and the support
[Android Software Development] donkeypunch1257:
Maybe I'm just overlooking it, but where is the APK to download?
[Android Software Development] DiamondJohn:
please read the thread. Its a rule.
[Android Software Development] donkeypunch1257:
Yeah, I see it now. Sorry.
[Android Software Development] minionhunter:
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!

I can't imagine my device without LMT it should come stock on every android device.
[Android Software Development] mr_schticker:
Can you please explain where you saw it? I see the lmtframeworkreslayer apk but i can't get that to install, and that wasn't the name for lmt in the past. I did read the original post, but it's going to take a while to read all 715 pages of this forum.
[Android Software Development] mr_schticker:
To answer my own question: https://xdaforums.com/t/app-root-lmt-launcher-v2-9.1330150/post-84307843
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
It's always been called LMT Launcher - At least for the last decade.

Search for "beta" & you should find the apk.
[Android Software Development] Primokorn:
Is there a way to create a shortcut for PIE to open a specific file?

EDIT don't tell me to search, the XDA search is a joke.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
You mean like a file that you would normally use a file explorer for?

You might be able to - If you can create a Shortcut to a specific file - There's an option in LMT to set a trigger to a shortcut.
[Android Software Development] Primokorn:
Exactly. I used a shortcut with Mixplorer.

The aim is to quickly open a file when the controller is coming to be sure that I have a ticket train 😋
[Android Software Development] IronTechmonkey:
As proof of concept I was able to do this just now by selecting shortcut to file manager MiXplorer which then pointed to a specific image file. Then when the corresponding pie slice is tapped in LMT the expected prompt to select an image viewer appears (there is no default set) and when one of the viewers is selected the file opens in that viewer. A potential downside of this is the likelihood that if the file manager, in this case MiXplorer, is uninstalled then the mechanism will break so it's probably better to do it with the OS' native file picker if that is possible. That all being said since I use Tasker for many things so if I really needed to do this I would create a Tasker shortcut to the file and then invoke that through LMT which leaves the possibility of accessing that same shortcut in Tasker from other utilities or homemade Tasker scenes.
[Android Software Development] fishstik:
Can anyone more experienced with Android dev tell me how difficult it would be to expose the Pie Pointer functionality to activate in response to an intent? Would love to activate Pie Pointer using Tasker for example, without needing to activate it via ISAS or the LMT pie.
[Android Software Development] trohn_javolta:
Hello, I recently changed to LineageOs 17.1 and noticed that pie menu won't work in the settings app. Via search I just found one entry with sth. about overlay restrictions in some apps preventing lmt's pie control to work.

Can't I somehow deactivate that for the settings app?

LMT has all permissions and is even istalled as a system app. I don't quite get why it can't somehow "overrule" the settings app.
[Android Software Development] DiamondJohn:
LMT run onn android and is restricted to what the OS says is OK, and makes available. And its the decision of the OS (security restriction) that nothing can hover over the settings, to avoid possible bad behavior of devs with mal intent.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
On my S20 Ultra Snapdragon variant running One UI V3.1 (UnRooted), I'm seeing a bit of a strange behaviour.

Where periodically, LMT would lose Accessibility & you would have to just re-enable it, now I'll see "failed to get Root" pop-up on the screen from time to time.

It's similar to what you'd expect after a Reboot.

Just curious if anyone else has noticed this?

I haven't bothered to look for a "fix", as it's not a big deal, just puzzling.
[Android Software Development] EnigmaBoy31:
Hello guys!

I almost have the same issue on my Fold 3, Android 11 One UI 3.1.1.

LMT crashes after I lock my smartphone.

Even if I unoptimized my app in my battery setting, it still crashes.

After I restarted my LMT, sometimes I need to re-enable accessibility.

Does anyone have the same issue and find a fix, please?

Thank you.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - The funny thing is it USED to be accessibility that needed to be turned off & back on - But I haven't seen LMT lose the Accessibility in ages - Maybe since the "failed to get Root" message started?

Not a big deal - Just a curiosity.
[Android Software Development] kyoj:
I have a similar but not identical issue to the posters above. My phone is a Samsung A50, updated yesterday to Android11 Security Patch level 1 September 2021, and LMT is now stopping whenever the phone is locked for ~30mins. It doesn't happen immediately - if I lock and unlock within a minute or two then LMT is fine.

The accessibility service is enabled, including the shortcut. All I have to do to fix it is go back to LMT and switch it back on (ie: Activate LMT switch set to on) and then it is fine until left alone for a while. I've rebooted a couple of times and at one point LMT would stay running fine but the 'back' and 'recentapps' commands would not work in this state, so it seems related to accessibility (I do not have root on the device).

The notification is missing once LMT is off so perhaps that notification needs to be made higher priority/stickiness? I don't know what I'm talking about obviously, but if this is fixable I would be incredibly grateful, been using LMT since Windows Mobile days and i literally cannot use my phone without it.. happy to test anything that needs testing.

edit: this is all only pie, I don't use gestures or ISAs
[Android Software Development] AaronCompNetSys:
Fold 3 update this morning, same thing it crashes after device is locked for a while.
[Android Software Development] DiamondJohn:
Ido not use LMT anymore, and I am no on A11, but what I did previously (ie previous android versions) to stop apps being killed in the background, was to set their OOM; to "superman".
[Android Software Development] KnightTim:
There is a setting in developer options, to allow it.
[Android Software Development] trohn_javolta:
Thx, but unfortunately I don't have this option available on lineageos 17.1's dev options. Do you happen to know if there's some terminal command to enable that? Maybe the setting just isn't visible.
[Android Software Development] KnightTim:
I don't know, I'm not sure how I would go about finding out, sorry.

If it is helpful, I'm running a Pixel Experience based ROM.
[Android Software Development] AaronCompNetSys:
Mine is crashing while not even asleep now.

I couldn't stand the foo app. What is everyone else switching too? I need pie with back/recent/last app/individual app shortcuts.
[Android Software Development] DiamondJohn:
Is it crashing or stopping?
[Android Software Development] AaronCompNetSys:
The OS is telling me that the app is not responding.
[Android Software Development] warriorpluto:
This sucks bad. Op has to update when he has time or we must move to something else. Only problem is that this is the only app I’ve been using since it came out lol
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
89 days until deactivation 🤔
[Android Software Development] IronTechmonkey:
Regarding expiration date, the developer has spoken to this:

https://xdaforums.com/t/app-root-lmt-launcher-v2-9.1330150/post-85429859
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
Oh I know 🤙

Not worried about it - I just happened to be scrolling through LMT on my phone & just noticed that.

Time is flying by 🕊️
[Android Software Development] gandalf_grey91:
LMT is without doubt the best app I have ever used.

The whole family has used it through something like 4 generations of phones.

I am currently using v3.1 and it now says expiration in 88 days. Not looking forward to having to find an alternative.

Also, LMT no longer starts with the phone, despite that option being selected in the settings.

And now, my Sony Xperia 5 (No Root) has been updated to the latest version of A11 (55.2.A.4.304), LMT keeps turning itself off. Every few hours.

I seem to be unable to give LMT externalstoragewrite permission, just in case that could be affecting the function
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
Just read up a few posts. Much of what you're saying has already been posted.
[Android Software Development] pvsgh:
Did anyone noticed the issue where app keep asking for Accessibility permission even though it is already assigned in Android 11 and 12, I have started seeing this issue on S21 as well as Pixel 4a.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
I haven't seen the accessibility issue pop up for quite a while now.

I did post fairly recently that I would see a message appearing intermittently saying something like "LMT failed to get Root". I *MAY* have found a solution? By keeping LMT open as a recent app?

There's no option to "lock" it in recents.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Snapdragon variant running One UI V3.1
[Android Software Development] pvsgh:
I think that did the trick.

I configure a task in Tasker to start LMT in background mode every time I unlock the screen. Problem solved ;-)
[Android Software Development] 93fuelslut:
Why does my whole screen change colors want to activate lmt?
[Android Software Development] 93fuelslut:
On 3.1 can't you just click the app icon you have selected for the pie, and it'll let you change the icon?
[Android Software Development] AaronCompNetSys:
How do you start it in background mode with tasker?
[Android Software Development] RuggedHunter:
Those experiencing background app issues on android 11 samsung devices, this worked 100% for me:

Settings > Apps > [three dot menu] > Special Access > Battery Optimization > [disable LMT]
[Android Software Development] EnigmaBoy31:
I did the same thing. LMT still stops after I locked my Fold3.
[Android Software Development] DiamondJohn:
are you rooted? if so, try setting the OOM to Supoerman
[Android Software Development] EnigmaBoy31:
Not rooted. =|
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
I just added a shortcut to LMT on my desktop & when it stops I just click on the shortcut & I'm back in business with LMT.

Battery Optimisation has always been off for it - In case you missed it - I would occasionally get the "accessibility" issue - But I haven't seen that in ages - Now what I see from time to time is "failed to get Root" - Which I don't have on my S20 Ultra Snapdragon variant running One UI V3.1.
[Android Software Development] noname81:
Fyi: The new LMT version will have a notification icon, so it can be started/stopped also from there. But if some of you could paste a logcat from the crash, we could check, why LMT is stopping on such situations.
[Android Software Development] shaggyskunk:
I would happily post a log - But I don't have access to my laptop at the moment - And MatLog isn't working for me on my S20 Ultra Snapdragon variant running One UI V3.1.

Looking forward to the new version - Whenever you feel that it's ready.

Really appreciate your time & efforts on LMT!

Hopefully the new version will be a Paid app - Or at least have a Donation option!
