Hey Guys,

As I said I released Free version for this app.

Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

Just wanted to say I grabbed this off the play store and love it... Good work.... Few suggestions..

- allow reordered lists on the fly

- allow launching of system api calls too

Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

Would it be possible to make this 2.3 compatible?

Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

How do I work?
[Android Apps and Games] mulletcutter:
Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

Using lite version, loving it so far... Like a hidden folder
[Android Apps and Games] N_ine:
Bought the full app, it's actually compatible with honeycomb as well.

I agree with Wiggz feedback and also, the option to toggle visibility (instead of having it move out after a little bit) would be a nice addition.

Good job, good app, been a long time now that I've been wishing for a drag-out side dock.

Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

Love it! Bought it! This plus LMT is awesome :)
[Android Apps and Games] smartdevs:
Yes, Making it compatible to 2.2+ now.

yes, when I was developing this I had same thing in mind as Wiggz said. System settings toggle and shortcuts will added to app. For now I am working on 2.2+ compatibility plus drag to move app up down in launcher plus sorting apps list. Third party theme support is also one thing I want to implement.

Cool man, Nice attachment.

Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

Nice work, just got the paid version and love it! I'm on 4.2.1 and works fine. Is there any chance you could make it so I can swipe the app bar off the screen? Like we do to swipe it on. Also wouldn't mind if we could change the text colour as well. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] smartdevs:
Hey thanks..

But I do not get what you are saying, you want swipe bar out when screen is locked?
[Android Apps and Games] danlivesey:
Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

You swipe to activate the bar and I want to be able to swipe to deactivate the bar by swiping instead of the bar timing out.
[Android Apps and Games] yaabaa1986:
Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

How can I set the app order in the bought app?
[Android Apps and Games] smartdevs:
Swipe to hide bar will be implemented

I will add swipe to hide doc bar in settings.

App ordering will come with a drag to sort app list in next to next version.
[Android Apps and Games] danlivesey:
Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

Great stuff I look forward to it. Also I would love to be able to change the app text color, if you can that would be great to. Thanks for your time
[Android Apps and Games] abimael08:
@SmartDevs Great job taking the constructive criticism & taking the necessary actions. Many people tend to get in their feelings & start cussing people out for a simple mistake or piece of advice. Great work & thanks for contributing to the community. (Downloading lite vers as we speak) :good:
[Android Apps and Games] y0yerrj0sh:
great looking app. I'll try it out.
[Android Apps and Games] LRC1710:
Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

I bought this app and o like it, if you keep developing and adding features this is going to me awesome, my suggestions are:

1) ability to change the order of the icons by long pressing them and moving them up/down

2) better touch responsiveness (misses sometimes)

3) launch other things than just apps, like activities and stuff

Keep developing this app! It does have a lot of future!
[Android Apps and Games] cwillison94:
I completely agree with everything you suggested. I even bought the app, it seems really promising
[Android Apps and Games] smartdevs:
Me too Agree with you guys ;)

When I started working on this I thought all of these things.

Let me put things together,

First I wanted Shortcuts and system setting toggles instead of apps in this launcher, then I saw Ubuntu video. So I came up with this.

Now there are possibility for improvement like below,

1. Making Name appear in a Popup when User touches and scrolls list up and down, See Ubuntu Launcher Video.

2. Add shortcut and system setting icons to launcher.

3. Drag to Sort apps list or sort by name or sort by Most clicked(Last one is done but not added for now).

4. Apps folder just like Any other 4.0+ launcher have, Click on folder it will come up with apps in it.

5. Quick Sms and Call overlays.

6. Add any folder from SD card file system and access it by one click, popup contents of folder.

7. Last one will be a Search Bar, It will have a search Icon in side bar if you click it it overlays a search bar where apps or anything can be searched. Check out Original Ubuntu launcher and you will get it what I am saying.

These are things I have in mind to work on, so support this app to get it developed more and more. :good:

[Android Apps and Games] hailmary:
might as well keep the full version free for the moment while its still hot in development...so we users can exploit & find out more for improvements... then when its fully ripe & popular thats the time to sell..how about that,just a suggestion...i like your work too... we are ubuntu.
[Android Apps and Games] nonamenoob:
I also recommend this, as there is a legal problem by selling this app under the logo and name of ubuntu I guess.

Great app though, so far already the best launcher I tried.
[Android Apps and Games] smartdevs:
Hey Thanks, I checked that Canonical has trade marked Ubuntu Logo, so I can not use that. But Unity name is not seems to be trade marked. as there are other people using Unity name as in Unity Game engine.

If any one has any knowledge regd. this please let me know. Thanks Again.
[Android Apps and Games] nonamenoob:
Yes, by naming it Unity Launcher only and using an own logo it should be fine.

Is there any other way to get the full featured app? For people who don't own a credit card the play store is hardly usable, at least it is not convenient, I'd have to fiddle around with a prepaid card again, I hate that.
[Android Apps and Games] LRC1710:
Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

Another suggestion is to allow to replace the icon for an app, for example I use nova launcher and I have changed the homescreen icons of some apps, but in unity launcher the icon stays original, so it doesn't match the homescreen setup.
[Android Apps and Games] Bilgets:
looking forward to a GB support :D
[Android Apps and Games] benwalburn:
Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

Now are you talking about prepaid credit cards or the Google play gift cards? I use the gift cards all the time, and that's as convenient as you're going to get for anything, unless you get a credit card

Sent from outside your window...
[Android Apps and Games] nonamenoob:
Neither, i use a prepaid sim card for that, but that's ugly, especially because I have two cards in my device an only one of these is enabled for payment on the store. Google gift cards aren't available here yet.
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

Carrier billing?
[Android Apps and Games] nonamenoob:
Yes, that's how it's called apparantly. But I don't think this should be discussed that lengthy here, I myself find this discussion about the restricted google play store annoying. Google really needs to improve their Google Wallet service to beat paypal in countries where people don't want to use credit cards. Until then I'll have to fiddle around with it. I guess that sums it up pretty well.

Another nice to have feature would be, to have more than one (up to four) configurable unity docks.
[Android Apps and Games] davidmargolin:
for the animation, can you make it push the rest of the screen over to the side... instead of it just being an overlay...

love the app... liked the ubuntu ui when it came out and now i can get a bit of it...
[Android Apps and Games] smartdevs:
Nice suggestion. but 3 docks is feasible, 4th one will overlay notification bar.

Can not move rest of screen :(
[Android Apps and Games] Soundtrack to Chaos:
Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

It's good but I don't like that seemingly, the only time you can edit the swipe area, without having the paid version is after the initial installation

Not better than home flip, but decent
[Android Apps and Games] slovoblydie:
nice-) its work on incredible S!!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] Piny12:
Wouldn't it be possible to take a screenshot real quick, let that overlay the screen and just move that one to the side? Or would that be too slow?
[Android Apps and Games] conantroutman:
Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

Would really benefit from being able to reorder the pinned apps easily.

Otherwise, no complaints whatsoever. :D
[Android Apps and Games] smartdevs:
Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

That's done check ss. Testing now.
[Android Apps and Games] smartdevs:
Re: [App][4.0+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android

And one more screen shot for adding apps ans shortcuts
[Android Apps and Games] conantroutman:
Awesome, looking forward to it. :)

Something else that occurred to me was the option to set a dead zone which doesn't trigger the launcher as this can conflict with apps that require a swipe from the edge of the screen, it would also help with keyboards that have keys right to the edge of the screen. Sometimes when I slide from an a or q the bar pops out, that might just be my fault for seeing a rather large trigger area :p

Keep up the good work mate.

AW: [App][2.2+]Unity Launcher, Ubuntu Phone Launcher for Android, 2.2+ support added

I tried Swapps,GYF launcher and Unity launcher yet and I must say I prefer Unity launcher, but every time I change some preferences the app closes and swiping doesn't work anymore. I always have to clear app data and do the initial setup again to make UL work again. Very annoying.

Edit: I set my preferences wile the UL app was still open and it looks like it works now.

[Android Apps and Games] odysseus84:
@smartdevs

Looks amazing... I'm was searching for something like this since month. But why is it just an overlay instead of a real launcher?

There is so much potential for a real Unity experience on android.

All it needs is an empty space for widgets and a kind of dash board... just like on Ubuntu.

Maybe you can add a "Home replacement mode"?
[Android Apps and Games] morruk:
@smartdevs

tried swapps and gyf but unity convinced me the most. :good:

i missed a german translation so here are the translated strings :) unfortunately i'm a poor student and have to count every penny... and there are so many great development projects here on xda which derseved a donation i can not offer :( but i saw on play store you'll probably offer translators a free paid licence.. so here is the very least i can offer for your great project :good: would really appreciate it if you guys are willing to provide me a paid license :p

thank you for your great work!

You have to pin your app to the launcher then save it and slide it open and long press the app you want to put in order

[Android Apps and Games] BigJeff:
I really love this app because It's much more responsive than the competition, are there going to be any further updates?
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
I'm gathering that this is just a "quick-access" bar instead of a multitasking bar which shows recently used apps?
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
Yeah pretty much just select your most used or favorite apps. Paid version is very customizable. Ability to change colors and transparency and other things.
[Android Apps and Games] smartdevs:
Adding recently used app and badges for unread count in next version
[Android Apps and Games] BigJeff:
For the recent apps implementation, I suggest incorporating a 2nd bar. So swipe once to pull out the first bar, then swipe again identically as you did before, and it "pulls" the recent app bar over the favorite app bar. Swipe once for favorites, swipe again for recent. Then in the recent bar you swipe the icon away toward the center of the screen, dragging it out of the bar to launch it. If you don't understand or if you like the idea I can make a diagram. Anyways thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] smartdevs:
Recent apps

I have another idea, when we pull bar out it will have indicators attached to bar it self, when you click recent apps indicator it should show recent apps, when all apps and pinned apps indicator is pressed it should show those apps. By default it will show pinned apps when pulled out. what you say about this?
[Android Apps and Games] bolanrox:
In the pro version is there an option to remove the text? (icon only view)

looking great so far!
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
Yup. Its called show app name below icon in the options. :)
[Android Apps and Games] bolanrox:
cheers looking like you will have a sale coming up soon :)

One more question sorry, is there a way to adjust the time that the bar stays open? It closes just a little too fast :)
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
Yup. That's in there too :)
[Android Apps and Games] bolanrox:
lol that was a quick sell
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
How hard would it be to have an option for an actual width adjustment? When the DPI is changed on the device it gets a lil smaller. It would be nice to adjust the size to where you want it.

This is the best / most fluid side launcher. I really hope the dev hasn't abandoned it.

Good to hear. Just a thought, but you should try being more vocal about your plans and with your supporters.

I love this app, just one query...

During use, say for argument sake right now im using it. There is no visible indication that unity launcher is running. I swipe from left to right and up pops my app list. Brilliant.

Now, after rebooting my phone, there is an indicator line along the edge where the swipe gesture needs to be made. If i go into unity settings, click on swipe edge settings then exit to the homescreen the line is gone. App still works as it should.

So, is there a setting or whatever whereby i can set this line to either stay permanently or for it to always remain invisible even after a reboot?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] smartdevs:
Hi, It is supposed to be invisible or you can make it visible by changing swipe edge color setting. After boot it is showing on your screen is an error. I am checking same error.
