I just uploaded beta 6 with Go/Nova theme support (icons only at this point) and fling area configuration (deofavente, I hope it works better for you)

It is likely that the next release will be available on the market; too many of you have complained about the side loading approach.

flmunich: it should automatically start at boot time as long as you've started it manually at least once. If it doesn't, please check logcat: there should be some crash report.

lesscro: actually I go to great lengths to also retrieve XML drawables. So far, I only extract the matching images but I think I will also make sure to apply whatever effects are defined. ADW, like Go and Nova, supports XML drawables.
[Android Apps and Games] deofavente:
Thanks. I like the transparency for where to start. Can you add this...

When menu is out, back key closes it?

I appreciate being able to reduce the size or the start area too. That's nice.
[Android Apps and Games] 089man:
Thx for answer, in the first beta one and two at starts automatically on boot. But since beta 3 or 4 no autostart, must start manual. Have s2 with newest nova launcher and jellybam 4.1 . 2 rom as default rom.

Where can I found this log cat or crash log?

Have beta 5 at this time.

[Android Apps and Games] balamu96m:
I have a problem.........when i drag it everytime, it just shows

"Few more seconds.....still initializing apps...."
[Android Apps and Games] Ullebe1:
Unfortunately this app still crashes on my Galaxy Nexus. The crash occurs as soon as GYF finishes building the app list, and starts running.

I hope that the problem will be fixed soon, as I would really like to try this app as it seems to have a lot of potential.

I am running android 4.1.1.
[Android Apps and Games] exadeci:
Works nicely but could you add either a way to exit it without having to press on an app ? Because sometimes I open it by mistake and I can't close it with back button so I have to press an app and then get back to the app I was on
[Android Apps and Games] dannejanne:
Press on the empty area to the right instead.

How do you know that it completes building app list??

For me it just keeps on giving a toast notification asking me to wait for a few seconds while it initializes the app list....

Anyone to help??

[Android Apps and Games] StygiAn TrepidAtioN:
Hi again! :)

In beta6, the idea to have the fling width definable is a great step ahead. Upon reading the changelog i presumed this would solve the problem i'd previously mentioned... Unfortunately, it still doesn't recognise finger flings even with width set to it's maximum, at 64. Spen filng still works seamlessly.

Will you be able to go one notch higher, to 80, perhaps... That way i could test and report back to you to narrow down what could be causing this.
[Android Apps and Games] Ullebe1:
When the app crashes I can still open the notifications and see that GYF's notification has changed from building app list to running.
[Android Apps and Games] davidlb512:
Glad I found this app! I'm a little late in the game, coming across it tho. I've tested it on most combinations of apps that I can tonight, and haven't ran into any issues so far. I'm using a GS2 Skyrocket, running CM 10-20130106 Nightly. I wanted to see how many apps I could consecutively open with GYF, before I ran into real lag issues, and I hit 13 apps before there was any real noticeable lag. Haven't even really dug into the settings of the app yet, but so far I'm extremely happy with the usability and functionality of it. This is another app that I would be more than happy to pay for, or donate to the developer.
[Android Apps and Games] odyon:
Still with beta6 no luck of seeing the sidebar at all :( running on a desire s, cm10. Nothing happend after the app is fully loaded and I swipe from the touch area. Anyway I can check / send you debug code?

Tips for 1280x720 :

Change size of detection area to 32px (invisible)

Start from border eo center screen slowly

Work all the time for me...

i always search to slide quickly... but slowly is much better if you had a big area size...

@ Mister Dev... :p

Idea to enhance visual and interaction with user...

• Add a new alphabetical search feature...

Actually it s a basic line but if you had a button on top and when we slide with this button, letter changer we have moire visibility and we have more chance to use this feature.. access is more easy

• Possibilty to have only ICON

Reduce size of Tab and visibility is much better

• Add a bottom overlay button at bottom of list... with close possibilty...

I hope not be so intrusive... only like the idea and want a cool and intuitive UI...

But feel free to trash some or all idea...

Have fun Mate !!
[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
Updated! (again)

Apologies, this is still a version that you have to side load; adding an app to the market takes time and since this new version is exclusively meant for debugging purpose, I felt like releasing it as early as possible.

Please read the OP: I explain how to submit a crash report as well as share your device debug information; this should help greatly figure your gesture issues.
[Android Apps and Games] Bilgets:
Good apps, but i barely able to fling it..
[Android Apps and Games] lesscro:
Time to debug, i agree... maybe ROM have some issue.. like CM9/10 vs Stock base...

Anyway...

Awesome work!

Hey dev, sorry!! In my previous posts i just kept posting my problems without logcat....

Reinstalling solved all my problems :D

BTW, the app is awesome and works really smooth!! Keep it up!

One suggestion: the alphabets to sort apps can be made to sort by just swiping from top to the required alphabet......just like we have in most dialer apps....it would be much easier!!
[Android Apps and Games] Niko0olas:
same thing on my Desire S running CM10.1 =/
[Android Apps and Games] spudje:
This is a great app!!

I'm a SwipePad (play . google . com / store / apps / details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android sorry, can't post links yet) and Action Launcher user too.

My suggestions would be, keep this one as simple as possible as otherwise you'll be copying too much functionality from SwipePad, like the suggested contacts, favorites, etc. All of that and more is supported by SwipePad. The thing SwipePad misses is exactly what this app offers, a FULL list of all installed apps. Presented in the nice way like Action Launcher does but available all the time. This would allow me to ditch Action Launcher and get a different launcher that allows more customisation.

I however still think that the app is a bit unresponsive to the swipes to bring up the launcher (SGS3). It can be done, SwipePad works flawlessly.

Please do get inspired by SwipePad for following features:

- Haptic feedback. Vibrate to confirm you bring up the launcher (already suggested earlier in this thread)

- A feature requested a lot already: make it configurable from which side the launcher appears

- Make the app rows' height configurable, I feel there is space wasted now, more apps can be shown on the screen at once.

So if you consider to add stuff like recent, favorite, etc apps, leave open the option to run the app as basic as possible like it is now, just a plain full app list with an alphabetic quick access ribbon.

Keep up the great work!!!
[Android Apps and Games] :
The option to limit to homescreen would be much appreciated. This app is what I've been looking for for a long time! :D
[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
Funny: limiting the app to the home screen was the first feature I had in mind but then I got so many good suggestions I put in on the back burner...

Anyway: beta 8, with letters, headers...hrm you have to see it.

"So, it is on the market now? These manual updates are starting to stuck."

Well, no.

I was about to upload the app to the market when...well, look at the top of the OP. Tsk tsk.
[Android Apps and Games] m11kkaa:
You should report the guy to google. really.
[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
Thanks. Yes, I just filed a DMCA complaint.

I hadn't given much thought to this practice until now but, wow, does it suck not just for the dev but especially for the people who paid for the app.

I hope Google refunds everyone.
[Android Apps and Games] balamu96m:
More than the people, its the dev who should get the apology from that son of bi**h, for plagiarising his work......
[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
Well, there is an option to vibrate as you do that. Are you talking about something different?

Yes. It was the second feature on my (mental) list and is still in the queue.

I am not done with the preferences screen. You can expect to see things such as row height but also icon size (the latter being especially useful when you elect not to display the app names (also coming))

I plan on doing just that. In fact, there will soon be a preference to display the app list and nothing else if desired. This has the advantage of keeping the app intuitive + use less memory.

Speaking of memory, I want to make it very clear that I have been working on performance improvement: memory reduction as well as faster drawer opening are my priorities.
[Android Apps and Games] lesscro:
Memory consuption is the goal to have a light app... The goal of this launcher.. light launcher with full app support...

I play a little bit with XML... for fun..; more Sense...

Size Icon 72sp - Alphabetical list color and size modified... Change Icon on TOP and app...

Still need remove text... and find a way to add a custom background and all will be good...

Wow..but..holo blue JB woukd be nuce
[Android Apps and Games] odyon:
To test why GYF is not working on my Desire S, I've been testing with SwipePad and there I also experience similar issues when i want to swipe from the side. Swiping from the top (clock-area) is not a problem at all.

I'm also running Apex Launcher, maybe this have an influence?
[Android Apps and Games] spudje:
Thanks a lot for your your reply!!

Oops, sorry missed that. Just didn't trigger on the word "feedback". Maybe rename that to haptic feedback then :)

Great!

However, sorry to be still complaining. I prefer how it's done in SwipePad. In GYF it only vibrates after the swipe move. In SwipePad it vibrates as soon as you hit the right spot where the swipe is initiated to confirm you are about to bring up the launcher.

ahhh actually no, i tried it with Nova as it is my default launcher but also on Trebuchet!

same thing all the time, even if i set the width of the touch-to-open region to the size of my finger, lol!

swipepad actually feels great, maybe a bit hard to select it at first but then. becomes easy. tried it just to answer for your question ;p
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Still only with left pointing finger only..sometimes.

No right thumb. On nex4 Nova

Invoking JYK

It is really a superb product. I love it. Have been dying for something like this. The invoking should be changed though. Left swipe on a Galaxy S3 (probably other phones too) most often does not work well as other apps use the gesture as well.

Maybe as part from the tasklist or notification list might work better.
[Android Apps and Games] odyon:
Nope, no luck doing it with my left pointing finger instead of with my right thumb :) really curious to see GYF, after all the positive experiences of people here... :(

Not sure if it is reported previously, but in Galaxy Note, launcher only opens using the s-pen. ¿How can I help you to debug this issue?

Have you see the LMT tread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150)? LMT has a setting for different input devices, maybe it could help you with compatibility issues.

Yes I see crash reports trickling in my inbox. I don't like this one bit. They are all about recycling icons.

Can you tell me what exactly you are doing when these crashes happen? (they may have to do with the service memory optimization :oops: )

Does it crash while you are editing preferences? Or when you are done and hit back to return to the main screen? Which prefs do you edit?

Can you post a screenshot so that I can see where the margin is off? The formula I'm using is kinda wonky.

• Select Pref

• i CAN !! :good:

• Press emty area to close GYF

• Press now Preferences and crash

This is really coming together! All it needs is more tweaking on the dragging, and option to hide apps and it's golden! Sent in a crash report. Going through menus does it for me.
[Android Apps and Games] davidlb512:
Everyone should help the original developer out and report the app that is in the Play Store. When you install GYF.apk, an app in the Play Store shows up as being Installed on your phone called SlideMe Plug-In. This app is a fraudulent app being sold in the Play Store that was stolen from the developer. It is causing issues for him, as he is unable to have this wonderful app uploaded to the Play Store. Therefore updates must be done manually, rather than done easily through the Play Store. It also is destroying the exposure possibilities of this app too. I just reported the "SlideMe" app, and manually entered the reason for flagging/reporting. Everyone else should do the same.
[Android Apps and Games] lelandfried:
This is not working at all on my AOKP w/ Nova Launcher.

I've got the margin set to 64px and turned on, nothing opens when I swipe. It actually crashes a LOT.
[Android Apps and Games] fcb13:
Latest update works fine, except FC at times. An option to change the size of the background would be nice as the background for having just icons is quite big. Also the option to not have 'recent apps' and just have 'all apps' would be nice. Also the option to remove that title would be helpful!

beta10

...just uploaded.

This update should bring several improvements:

1) better stability

2) faster

3) smaller memory footprint

#1 is open for debate as #2 and #3 might have actually made the app less stable (big rewrite). Not according to my tests but your mileage may vary.
[Android Apps and Games] lesscro:
#1 > Preference crash issue solverd for me ! :good:

#2 > close is faster... open seems to be same... smooth scroll in IconView

#3 > Maybe...

#4 > additional number... does anobody find Flying area is less responsive as previous version... maybe i m wrong but i will try again... it s more difficult i thing actually...

I have more fail than previous beta !!

Anyway, solid dev and work, look very promising...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] kirakun:
As for beta 10, scrolling is super smooth, performance feels improved. But when you choose to show icons only removing the sidebar (abcdefgh....) only 80% of the icon is visible and i believe it should be fixed, the ribbon width is too small and should be widened.

Still no word on flinging from the right? Fling from the left conflicts with to many of my apps
[Android Apps and Games] Hairum:
I'm getting similar symptoms; I'm also on AOKP. 64px, turned on, made transparent so I can see it. Swiped dozens of times. Only opened twice. It does not crash for me though. Note that I'm on the Samsung Epic 4G Touch (Sprint's Galaxy S2).
[Android Apps and Games] cody_04l:
Hold my phone with my left hand and flinging right with my thumb It opens 99% of the time. Holding it with my right hand and flinging right I can only get it 20% of the time. Problem is I hold my phone with my right hand 99% of the time. I think it's just the angle of the finger and adding an option to launch from the right would help immensely.

Love the work. I actually was in the middle of coding this exact app but you beat me. Well done, and you provide updates faster than I can at this point.

Don't know why Google is taking so long on the request for the spammer. I had a similar issue happen and they removed it within a few hours.

This does unfortunately not work very well on my Note 2. I've tried several betas. It fails to load most of the time when I swipe from the edge. Swypepad works all the time though so it must be possible for it to work better. This app worked wonderfully on my Galaxy Nexus though.

Beta 9 & 10

Good Job,

I didn't update since beta 6 and I just update to beta 10. I like what you did with the Icons Only and Icon Size (That was a +1). The settings menu is way more organized (+1). Looks pretty nice in my LG Optimus G (Icons at 128 doesn't seem blur).

Only a few requests:

- When showing Icons Only (No text), it will look nice if the Icon is centralized in the menu.

- A favorites app list will be nice or been able to hide apps from the list (when you have 150+ icons is annoying to look for an app).

- I'm unable to apply Icon Themes. I downloaded the Deus Ex Android Launcher Icons from the Market and I was unable to apply, I'll try with other Icon themes later.

- I'll be nice if when I hit the back button of the device it will hide the side launcher.

- More themes.

Thanks for the great job.

Also may I suggest to make an animation change for when you switch from apps to running apps to allow it to be more seem less as to not have it look like it reloads that launcher, and more like a"tab"
