Same for me as well. For the life of me, I can't figure out why I can't press install button. Disable the glovebox and voila, apk install works again. Love the update, I can just deactivate whenever I try to install apk, no big deal.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Yup, that's why i want to add this toggle on notification.
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
I remember screen filtering apps would make google or android respond by not allowing installation of applications for security reasons. So i guess your app is acting like that.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Yes, similar to the screen filter, the app is drawing on top off other apps but the touches are ignored and passed to the apps below. I had to do this to avoid the screen freezes on some devices.
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
Its ok, we can can always deactivate glovebox if we want to install new apps, but i suggest you write it as a note so new users would know whats happening :p

Also, loving that now we can change icons, but can you also make it to be able to change icons for shortcuts too? Currently we can only change the ones that are applications. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Yes, i'll add a note and the possibility to change shortcuts and actions icons too. :good:

Love the app. I use it on my Transformer Prime TF201 with stock non rooted 4.1.2 jelly bean and it crashed the play store doing updates but on my Verizon galaxy nexus rooted and running paranoidandroid 3.10 jellybean 4.2.2 with no problems doing updates. Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] TippMan:
The app is great! But does anibody have the same issue like me? Glovebox doesn't let me install apps downloaded to cellphone. I can't press install button.
[Android Apps and Games] jboyer0000:
I've been using es file explorer to side load apps without a problem while glovebox is running
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
Like 4-5 posts about yours mentioned the issue
[Android Apps and Games] TippMan:
i didn't read... Sorry
[Android Apps and Games] open1your1eyes0:
Took me several hours of research, troubleshooting, testing, and frustration to figure out what changed in the last week or so since I last tried to install any APK that caused the "Install" button to stop working for the Package Installer. Clearing cache and data on so many apps. I was damn near close to giving up and factory resetting until I decided to uninstall my apps one by one (I have about 300 or so in the Play Store) to figure out what is causing the issue and finding out it was this one when I was about half-way done. I had to then reset everything up again before all the changes I did during troubleshooting and now I'm resorting to turning off Glovebox every time I want to install an APK. I am one of the lucky ones to discover this but many others might not be and will end up wiping their device, probably reinstalling their apps afterwords and still not knowing what is causing the issue. This is one

serious bug

and needs to be resolved immediately. I am extremely disappointed with how many bugs this app has had since its launch. With all due respect, I understand how much work goes into development of an application but this is unacceptable and I think the author needs to spend more time testing their app before releasing updates that break things completely unrelated.
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Screen Filter. Over 1 Million downloads and it has the same issue with install button.

I believe this is an Android security feature; the app can draw on the screen so theoretically it could display something different and cause us to mistakenly install a harmful app.
[Android Apps and Games] open1your1eyes0:
You're right. While researching this, Screen Filter is what popped up most in my results as well as a few other apps (Juice Defender, screen splitter, and similar) stating the same issue with the Install button. However I have over 300 apps installed on my device. I'm getting several updates on a daily basis. In my opinion it would be more understandable if this was bug since day 1 with Glovebox but the fact is that it wasn't. The update from April 6 is what caused this issue. I have a feeling it could have been avoided or at least if it was tested properly and required for some new feature to work then place a big warning in the changelog for the update so user's are at least aware of the risk involved. I'm already reading many of the reviews in the Play Store of people wiping their device to fix the issue and discovering it was this app after all. I apologize if I am seeming a little harsh on the critique, but I think it's pretty reasonable concern that this needs to have gone further testing prior to release (especially since such a bug is already known of other "UI layer" based apps).
[Android Apps and Games] MajorTankz:
It really isn't a bug. It doesn't have anything to do with the app it's just how android's security measures work. There's obviously a work around if previous versions allowed side loading (I don't even remember since I don't side load too often) so let's just hope for that. Besides this problem, I haven't had any problems with this app which is a big step up from the last version.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
The previous version didn't had this issue because on previous version it was drawing on the screen but it didn't let the touches pass through. I had to change it to avoid screen freezes on some devices. And by letting the touches pass through, android automatically does this, and it makes sense.

Anyway, i uploaded a new update that will automatically pause/resume the app when you're installing something. It might take a few seconds till it pauses, but it should be better then disable and enable manually.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
Its more like a bug in the android google rom imo it should tell you why the install button is blocked. :p not really smart that they block the install button and without any info to tell you what might be causing this. Anyways i hope this can be fixed permenantly for glovebox since i used many other similar apps but i like the easy use of glovebox. Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Agree, they should at least give a message informing the user. This fix, if stable enough, will be permanent. I tested it and it seems to be working well.
[Android Apps and Games] open1your1eyes0:
fmaster1, thank you very much for recognizing and responding to this issue promptly. Your hard work is definitely appreciated as many of us including myself have really grown a liking to this app and would definitely like to continue using it even if there are Android related issues for it to work seemlessly. I just got the new update and have a small query on this fix you have implemented to temporarily pause/unpause the app.

I just applied the update and see that option in checked in settings however when I go to install an APK as usual I don't see any activity from Glovebox of pausing/unpausing and that Install button is still blocked even after tapping multiple times (pretty much the same thing as before). Is there something we need to do for this fix to activate properly (clear data/cache for Glovebox, etc...)? Also how does this fix work, how does it detect the APK install request? Any details you could provide would be highly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
It shouldn't be necessary to do anything more. Just to make sure, you might have to wait a few seconds, not more than 5 or 6 secs. Then you should the message appearing and a vibration. If this isn't happening then i might have missed something.

Please let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] open1your1eyes0:
Well I tried a few of the scenarios below and can't get the Install button to work or any message/vibration:

Select to install APK, and do not touch the screen for at least 10 seconds, then tap Install

Select to install APK, and keep tapping Install until works

Select to install APK, a message comes up saying the app is already installed, wait at this screen 10 seconds, then click OK, then try Install

Select to install APK, a message comes up saying the app is already installed, click OK, wait at this screen 10 seconds then try Install

Any ideas? I have not cleared the data from the app yet (so I don't lose my settings) but if you think that will help I can try.
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
Hey, I want to keep glovebox in memory always so i clicked in the settings of glovebox to have notification,

however I hate the constant notification that stays on the bar, so i went to app settings and ticked off show notifications,

Is it okay? because it told me i could miss imp stuff... Just making sure :D
[Android Apps and Games] hitokiri.pr:
Found the change icon option in Glovebox->Bar Content->"tap icon"->icon. Thank you so much. I will prefer to be able to select icon pack, but I'm sold with this. Going premium!

For those interested, if you rename an icon pack .apk to .zip and extract, you can find the icon images .png files and then select this from the gallery to customize your Glovebox like I did.:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Actionx1:
How did you get the app drawer there?
[Android Apps and Games] hitokiri.pr:
I have Apex Launcher. Bar Content->Add->

Shortcut->Apex actions->App drawer
[Android Apps and Games] Actionx1:
Thanks. I downloaded Apex just to do that.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
I'm currently investigating this.

What is the android version you're using?

You'll miss toast messages, but the rest should be fine...
[Android Apps and Games] csmiler:
Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but using this app doesn't allow you to click 'Install' while installing apks, pretty much like what Screen Filter does.

Great app though! :)

Edit-Never mind, just saw the above post :P
[Android Apps and Games] ginger.andro:
great app work good on my SIV but as it lags sometimes on new galaxy SIV !!!
[Android Apps and Games] hitokiri.pr:
Same here in my N4. It happens if I use the android in-built home button. If I try and use this app to get back to home the lag is almost inexistent. Is there any way to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] TyroneLT:
When I originally installed this last month when adding widgets they would take up the majority of the screen but now widgets like the Falcon Pro Twitter Feed widget only take up a small portion of the screen. Can this be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
Thats what im asking. What are these toast messages because i havent seen any.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Good news!!! Find out the problem and its solved now, i'll update the app later today.

Sorry didn't understood. The toast messages are for example when you apply a theme, add an app, when the app pause/resume installing other apps. The only scenario that might be important to see the toast is when adding apps/shortcuts/widgets and an error occurs...
[Android Apps and Games] hitokiri.pr:
Small bug. I added the Pandora widget to the bar. When Pandora is not running it starts the app as it should, but after the app is running it doesn't show the control button like the on-home app, like shown. It worked only once.

Not the right place to post this but here you go. I hope fmaster1 don't get mad.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
:good:
[Android Apps and Games] hitokiri.pr:
More details regarding the above bug. If I have rotation enabled in apex and I go landscape mode and then back to portrait, the Pandora widget start working. If I then go to the app and return to home, the widget stops working. I can then go to landscape mode to correct its behavior again. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] kev1njenius:
Can i add folder of apps to the glove box? How?

I tried using simi folder but it ended up showing the folder first, then the apps in the folder. Can it just show the apps when i click the folder in the glovebox? huge thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
Still having the install bug until i turn off glovebox in the latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] Yoonsicker:
Yes, developer, you need to fix the install bug, I kept uninstalling the other apps to find the root of the problem and finally found out this was causing all the trouble :/ grr

[Android Apps and Games] hitokiri.pr:
In addition to the Pandora widget bug, I have a feature request. Could you make widgets in landscape mode a little bigger? Just asking. :D
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Widgets still need a little work... the ability to resize widgets is a future implementation.
[Android Apps and Games] blackhawkwww:
Anyone?

Pls help me to solve the problem.

Tq in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
Do like i did a couple of posts above. There is an option in glove box to keep it alive with a notification. If the notification bothers you, then after that go to application settings and untick show notifications from glovebox. That way it should never close.

UPDATE: i may be wrong, im starting to notice this happens and glove box doesnt work when after i install some apps. Can you please check it fmaster?
[Android Apps and Games] hitokiri.pr:
Does deselecting" Show Notifications" on Settings>Apps>Glovebox allow the app to continue in memory or is this the same as deactivating notification in the app settings? fmaster1???
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
It continues in memory without a notification, so they are not the same ;)
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
He's right.

Yes i can check, you saying that it stops working after installing some random apps?
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
Im not 100% sure but yes it closed alone once or twice even though i had it as notification (but not shown)

Im guessing maybe after it disable to install app it didnt enable back because the past 2 days i installed many apps and themes.
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
Used to happen to me on occasion too on previous releases, never got around to pulling a logcat.

Fmaster1, can we have a keep in memory option? Like how nova launcher does it
[Android Apps and Games] blackhawkwww:
Thanks Mate.

I hv been using your trick for the past one day.

So far, it works great.

No more app stop working issue.
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:

[Android Apps and Games] Altimas:
Can you please explain this "New Long Press menu - Long Press the edge to open the menu, which allows you to quickly toggle the side of the bar and open glovebox configuration;"

I can't get this to work = not intuitive || I'm a dummy
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
When you press the edge to open the bar, instead of moving the finger, just wait till you fill a vibration, then remove your finger. the menu should popup. You can't move the finger, after you press otherwise it will not open the menu. It might be a bit hard on some devices to open so i'll improve this to make it easy to open.
[Android Apps and Games] Altimas:
This is really what I thought it would be but I can pretty much confirm this isn't working on my nexus 4 running CM10.1. Can you add an option to the full swipe action to jump into glove box settings?
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
I'll see what's the problem then, thanks.

Yes, i can add that option. :good:

There's a problem when you use the home button and then you open an app it takes 5 seconds to open. Not sure if is that you're referring to. Can you confirm?
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
Yes i can confirm that when using home button ot takes about 5sec to open. Even when not using home button, usually 3rd party apps take 2seconds to open unlike built in apps in the rom.

I reproduced it and you are right! But it's a problem that you can fix it or what's the best solution for the moment ?

If you, on the other hand, use the home button, and let it sit for a while, and then use Glovebox it does not show any lag. I think this might be related to the way android works. Clearing some cache/buffer maybe?

Just throwing random ideas here...

-some bugs fixes

The update is coming maybe today or tomorrow.

game..no Life changing. Thought it would slow down by device but nope..well i do have a Note 2 4g..so maybe I cant comment on that. But I am definitely anticipation of a folders option and themes. Really the recent apps second screen is awesome, be even better if we could have a all aps action to allow the same sort of second screen as recent. But folders will do for now :cool: and if more features can be added for root users then by all means release that as a option for the many of us who are.

Short of Reading 50 pages worth of posts... I did a search for crash and it came up with only 3 posts, none of which really help me all that much... I am having random Glovebox crashing... I can't replicate it. It happens about once a day or so... The app just stops responding. I can start the app with the Glovebox icon but it will not bring the app to a working state again.. Only thing that helps is a reboot.. This has happened with multiple roms, not only the CM10 rom I am using right now. I also tried a complete wipe and re-installed the glovebox app and it still will crash, about once a day. Can anyone help me figure out what the issue is???

Feature Request?

Hi

I'm wondering if it would be possible to add a option to disable or hide the popup title bubbles for certain menu entries.

I'm using a couple of "home" options, changing their icons to transparent to create a little space at the top of the screen and these don't really need the title bubbles

Thanks for considering.

Yeah i think i might add an 'empty space' action for that purpose.

Touch Control freezes the Nexus 4 screen. Is a bug the developer have been trying to fix. I have the paid version but have opted to disable it because of this issue. Do the test, disable Touch Control and verify if your issue with Glovebox disappears. :)

Hi. I tried this and liked it so much I purchased the premimum key. I use Nova and am on a Galaxy Nexus(Verizon) Sourcery ROM. When my screen goes to sleep, the app ceases to work, or show for that matter. The icon also disappears in the notification area. I do not use a task killer, and have both boxes checked as it relates to the icon. I did a brief glance and search and did not see anything. Thanks!

* As usual, after posting this the app has not stopped since. Sorry for the miscommunication.
