Hi pal!

Lovely thing this! makes my phone seem even more non-android ;)

Although, with my galaxy note (n7000), it works only with the spen. it's not responding the finger flings. Is there a solution to this? If not as yet, do you think you could rectify this?

Re: [WIP][APP][2.2+] GYF: a side launcher [v1beta16]

My phone is galaxy note 2 (btw rom is omega 9.1) and the icon size was 96dpi in that picture. But when i choose bigger dpi's the empty space gets larger (and it is also same in reverse). Here is with 128 dpi sized icons.

Re: [WIP][APP][2.2+] GYF: a side launcher [v1beta16]

Yes, so it is called a ribbon.

Yep it only force closes if you never pressed the back key on the app draw, just relaunch the service and try it.

Re: [WIP][APP][2.2+] GYF: a side launcher [v1beta17]

Suggestions:

1) Long-press search/menu key for open of the drawer.

2) Hide apps

3) Set color for the thing that scrolls on the side (scrolling bar)

4) Gyf themes (not icon themes, but themes of the actual drawer itself)

That's all I can think of :D
[Android Apps and Games] Lochman79:
Re: [WIP][APP][2.2+] GYF: a side launcher [v1beta17]

I love the new feature of being able to set favorite apps, although once you set your favorites, using the letter ribbon is basically useless as it goes to the letter of your favorite apps. Maybe try taking the letter away in the ribbon next to the pinned apps?

Also, if you remove the app names and make the app size larger, there is a lot of empty space between the apps and the letter ribbon. Not a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it.

Great with so far!

[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Re: [WIP][APP][2.2+] GYF: a side launcher [v1beta17]

Suggestion: Rather then touching the letter on the ribbon bar make it jump to apps starting with that letter make it so you place your finger anywhere on the bar and slide up and down to go through each letter.

Check iPhone music player or contacts scroll method

[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
A quick update

If it seems like updates have stopped for now, it is true.

That's because I am in the process of cleaning up some code and more importantly I am working on a "non-stop" gesture allowing you to fling from the border, move your finger up and down the list and the quick selection ribbon, and launch an app when you lift your finger; all this without lifting your finger until you're done.

It's challenging due to the many widget layers in the app but I know I'll get it right... eventually.

Hi

The playstore version (v1beta17) now is a very usable app!

Very good options, no more problems with flying gesture.

Waiting for the "non-stop" gesture! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Jester23:
Looking forward to the update..

I'd like to see the app improved in 2 other aspects and it would make the app epic..

1- The slide gesture needs to be more sensitive.. i have a very hard time to get it to open. I don't want to long press either, I like the slide... just needs to be more easily opened.. (Also when guesture not being used, is it just me or is the area behind the gesture not usable?...ie when typing the q and #1 are hard to use when I have the guesture set for top 2/3rds of screen. )

2- The ability to hide apps that I don't want in the drawer.

Other than that, I love it!

Thanks for your work!

Excellent job thus far! I really like this app, thanks a lot.

A few bug reports:

1) I'm pretty sure, at one point, you added "close on back button" - this doesn't work.

2) Force closing an app does not work. I've tried it numerous times and every time it just does not force close the app. I have to go into app info and force stop it to do so. Other apps that force close do not have this issue.

3) It occasionally randomly crashes and the service restarts.

hello,

just tested. great app. :)

linked the side launcher to LMT's "activity"..

works flawlessly..

however, i have a suggestion..

how about allowing us to display what app we want to put in? like giving the user control to display only certain apps instead of all the apps.

because for me i prefer to have quick access to my social apps while im in some other apps. (its more like i am able to multitask with your app when i fling it and it opens up)

thank you! :)

Re: [WIP][APP][2.2+] GYF: a side launcher [v1beta18]

I found the way to make it works on my Galaxy Note N7000, the problem was the action area, too small for this device.

I set the area width to 32px and it works!

This will be a solution for some people that have big devices like me.

R: [WIP][APP][2.2+] GYF: a side launcher [v1beta19]

Hi

My impressions:

- Don't like the non-stop gesture as it's implemented, 'cause I can just scroll app list but not letter ribbons.

I'd expect to put finger, going right, scrolling letter ribbon, going left, choosing app; perhaps with letter ribbons on app's list left would be better for a continuous gesture.

- When I set a preferred app, a letter ribbon is set on top, let's say "m"; if I scroll down letter ribbons and choose "m", i'm just redirected to first "m", the preferred app's one.

That's weird! Let's say I mark as preferred 26 apps, one per letter; then letter ribbons become unuseful?

I'd expect I put few apps as preferred and I reach them without letters, using them to reach other apps.

Well, that's it! :D

Great app! I'm using it on my GW and works like a charm!

Some suggestions:

1) improve some kind of hiding features from apps that I don't use. Maybe a good choice is to deselect those than I don't want to be showed.

2) add some other way to show application list i.e. sliding with two(or more) fingers, on device that support multi-touch, in any part of the screen.

Anyway, keep on it, good work!

Hi,

Using GYF on the note without problems. You just have to use a wider width, than everything is fine.

One suggestion: let us use categories (games, social networks, tools, etc.) on the ribbon instead of first letter. This would also cover the request for hiding apps...

Thanks a lot, using this with pleasure in combination with LMT (which starts GFY) after searching a long time for such an app.

I installed your app since the very first BETA and have seen it grow into something of a trend. Unfortunately, your app has been copied, wholesale, by another one called SWAPPS; it's already on the Play Store.

I don't know how open source sharing ethics work, but I am pretty sure about anyone consciously using the code or idea of an app to credit the originator of that code or idea.

You might want to check out this very thread (Android Apps and Games) where SWAPPS is being touted as the best thing since bread came sliced.

I've tried it out. It's quite similar, but it is definitely a different application - and I still much prefer GYF.

Excellent job with the updates as of late. My only request, and I think others have mentioned it in the past, is that applications in the favorites do not render the letter ribbon on the side virtually useless. In other words, make the letter ribbon on the side go to the non-favorite applications, even if a favorite application starts with that letter.

This is indeed a very nice app. I would like to make a few feature requests and suggestions.

1. Two side panels would be awesome. One on left and one on right. One would contain all the apps and one would contains starred apps, recent apps and shortcuts.

2. Ability to change the width of the app panel.

3. Ability to jump into the app info of the current running app. So that you can force close or uninstall it. Maybe you could add a button for this.

4. Also, if possible please implement the start service button as a checkbox in the main settings.

5. Try to reduce the delay further.

Thanx! :)
[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
w/r/t the delay: I know, right???

It's already much smaller than it used to be, but it's still here.

You have no idea how much time I've already spent trying to figure out what's up: I create and open the drawer instantaneously; then, when Android feels like it, it displays it(!)
[Android Apps and Games] The-Droidster:
The delay is really a very insignificant issue. That's why I put it at the end. You can ignore it, but do convey your views about the other features I mentioned.

Thanx! :)
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Re: [WIP][APP][2.2+] GYF: a side launcher [v1beta23]

The delay is because the app waits for gesture completion or home button longpress and then launches. If it were more live and as you moved your finger it followed, that would be ideal.
[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
Sorry but it's not that simple. In fact, when you are in non-stop gesture mode, there is nothing to wait for and the delay is there as well.

I have checked and gesture detection is complete way before the drawer is displayed.

Now, if you could prove me wrong, well, that would in fact be a great relief :)
[Android Apps and Games] dragon57:
Would it be possible to add an option to ignore 'Favorite apps' when you touch a Letter to jump down the list of apps? For example, I have the Google+ app set as a favorite, but when I press the 'G', the app list doesn't scroll down the apps that start with 'G', it jumps to the favorite for Google+.

atrix4g18 (and an other post before that):

I'll be naive and ask: what is the difference between "running " and "recent" apps? GYF already offers recent apps and from testing and reading the SDK documentation, it seems that both APIs return recent apps that may or may not be running.

Do you have more info about the differences?
