Re: [APP 2.3+]Swapps! Ubuntu inspired app drawer, just better

Translation would be nice, and I dunno about unicode or not, when I'm translating to Hebrew everything works and that's a unicode language...

About the delay, I tried launching every single app that I have.. Only some heavy load games took a sec before launch, so I really don't know what seems to be the problem.. :?
[Android Apps and Games] ggs2:
Yes please make it optional.

I dont want to see all apps in the menu. Only starred applications may be 15-20 ..

Also active spot is interfering with my keyboard (using kii keyboard) If you can give option to move the active spot little up or down it will be good..
[Android Apps and Games] roshga:
Re: [APP 2.3+]Swapps! Ubuntu inspired app drawer, just better

So it's settled, option to remove all apps section on the settings. :)

As for the keyboard, ill add an option to move the active spot to the top /center /lower half of the screen

Great App

It would be great if you can add the ability to hide certain apps from the recent app list. As it is now for example, nova launcher comes up as a recent app and would be great if we can hide such apps.
[Android Apps and Games] bengadget:
I rated it five stars, here's the review I left:

"...the camera needs to be added, and maybe the option to switch the position of the recent and favorite apps (I'd like the Favorite apps section easier to reach on my Note 2). I really have no other complaints. Get it."

There should be an option to close the sidemenu by touching a non menu related spot without interacting with the open app.

Maybe you could add an transparent layer to the rest of screen. If you touch the rest of the screen menu just disappears.

Spanish Translation

Hi.

First, thank you very much. I really like Swapps and I think there will be a lot apps attempting to copy the idea (which is good, because that way we can move forward).

Maybe you can add an exit button (on the ActiveSpot), so it would be better.

I don't know a lot of things but I really want to help you with this, do my part, however small (I think I can make good English->Spanish translations), so you can PM me whenever you want it.

P.S: I think I made a good translation (maybe perfect), because it isn't a literal translation so I'm attaching it for you.

Re: [APP 2.3+]Swapps! Ubuntu inspired app drawer, just better

First of all, I just wanted to thank you for this amazing app launcher, it is handy, quick and I use it on a daily basis. Thank you thank you!

Second, is there anyway to remove the "get more free apps" in the bottom corner by chance?

Re: [APP 2.3+]Swapps! Ubuntu inspired app drawer, just better

It`s not a replacement for your home launcher. It should work whatever activity you are doing.
[Android Apps and Games] misterthomas32:
Almost perfect!

Hey, really great app!

But there are a few things I think you need to fix/add:

- Few apps are missing to add as shortcuts (telephone, camera).

- There should be the ability to choose which apps don't appear in the recent apps, because I don't want my trebuchet to be there all the time.

- You should be able to choose between more positions to put the ActiveSpot, I used dock4droid and that activeSpot was in the top richt corner to avoid me from hitting it while scrolling throug my home screens.

-The ability to remove the "Get Free Apps" notification at the bottom would be awesome, perhaps something for the paid version.

I've not yet rated the app on the google play store because I think it doesn't deserve 5 stars as of right now, but i'm sure it will in a few weeks/months. I'll be happy to pay for the app once those bugs i've listed are fixed.

Great work!

More suggestions

HI and thank you for an awsome app drawer!

This is one of the few must haves on my phone right now.

I have some suggestions to make Swapps even better.

1. Make more active spots for me too chose from (corners, bottom/top).

2. Let me choose if I also want to press "back" to minimize the app drawer.

3. Let me be able to opt out apps that I don't want in my Swapps app drawer.

4. Make a paid version to get rid of the "Get free Apps!" link.

I doesn't scale well on my Padfone 2 and when I switch to and from my pad the fonts get screwed up. The app drawer format is intact, it is only the fonts that get tiny and huge when I dock and undock my phone.

Yeah, I know that the Padfone 2 isn't that common but I'm wiling to help out to make it scale better.

And again, a great app.

Thank you and keep up the good work

[Android Apps and Games] Mr. Kostik:
Is there a way to make the launcher and System-UI (recents-menu) not appear under "recently used apps"? If not, I'd wish some kind of black list for the "recently used apps" in future versions.
[Android Apps and Games] roshga:
Re: [APP 2.3+]Swapps! Ubuntu inspired app drawer, just better

Hi you all, thanks for all the kind words and the many translations I'm getting! All of them will be added to next update.

Now to respond to your requests:

- active spot will be more adjustable, align to bottom, center, top will be added.

- paid version with no ads will be available at the end of this week and will contain in the future special features also.

- the lack of some apps is known, and will get fixed really soon

- shortcuts addition will be available in future releases.

- back & home buttons will close the drawer on next release.

- the logo on top will be removed to make more space for apps.

- I don't get the pop up proposal, I think that pop up apps look weird on phones...

- hiding apps will be available in the future.

- removing the all apps section and having more starred apps will be on the next update

In general I want to note that this app is on it's early state, I'm predicting pretty future will LOTS of features and flexibility. That will take weeks and even months, I really recommend that you'll stick with me through this journey and help me think of new ideas so we all can enjoy this app.

Little transparency as the developer: The updates are going to be weekly with 2/3 features per update, due to lack of free time at home and I guarantee that all bugs will get closer look.

I want to thank you all for the email, pms, translations and feedback here and feature requests, and more of all - for 20000 DOWNLOADS IN A WEEK AND A HALF!!!

[Android Apps and Games] jessecoleman:
Re: [APP 2.3+]Swapps! Ubuntu inspired app drawer, just better

One feature that I think would be cool is a shortcut that could be triggered with gmd gesture or Tasker or something similar. Then triggers would be more configurable.

Edit: and a blacklist to keep it from running in certain apps
[Android Apps and Games] ungureanub:
The app is grate. The first time I use it was one of those moments when you realize that this is just right.

Greate job!

One question. I do not get how the "Recent App" works. On my stock S3, I always have the same app: TouchWiz, GooglePlay, Wikipedia, Internet and Contacts.

This happends no metter what I do. As long as I am in a specific App, that app appears there. But as soon as i leave and go to the home screen, I come back to the list above. So I cannot restart a recently launched app. Am I doing something wrong?

As a suggestion, the Back button, the home button or a tap in the free area should hide the list. Thus the feeling would be more consistent.

:good::)
[Android Apps and Games] Pinback!:
Suggestion

First off, great app, certainly one of the most useful ones I have on my phone. Luckily, as I am on MIUI, I can lock the activity so when I kill all processes to save some ram, Swapps! stays in memory :D

One suggestion: it would be great if this whole sidebar could be themable. As a graphic designer I am more than willing to create themes if you do decide to implement this feature. Like I said earlier, like a lot of other people, I am on MIUI and the HOLO theme does not really go with the rest of my UI.

Just a suggestion, think about it please ;)

[Android Apps and Games] roshga:
Re: [APP 2.3+]Swapps! Ubuntu inspired app drawer, just better

back home and touch outside will be fixed next update.

The recent apps are actually running apps. Those are the top apps (last ones on stack) that are running. The purpose is multitasking - swapping from app to app quickly.

I thought about themes, I gotta think more about how I'll add the customization options... It'll be added in the future for sure

Great app!

I just have one request:

Closing gesture:

Opening gesture is to swipe from left to right in the left side of screen, but there is no closing gesture.

It would be cool if it would exist, if you accidently open Swapps.

Now I have to swipe somewhere on the screen and that might trigger another event/operation.

Oh, and here is the "Slovenian (Slovenščina)" translation.

Not sure if I missed something, but you should consider to offer a donate version to get rid of the "get free apps" and possibly rename the header of the launcher "Swapps" to something custom.

Wonderful! I just gave this a try and love the concept as well as the execution. Though the side swipe options interfere with Dolphin's side menus that are activated the same way.

[Android Apps and Games] XSafire:
So this has a ton of potential. It's a lot like Action Launcher Pro but I love the fact that it doesn't replace your stock launcher.

I have some feature requests, or suggestions. I think this app could change how people use their phones.

- Change the animation. It feels really weird having Swapps come in from the bottom. Left to right is just natural. What would be really cool is if it pushed your current screen out of the way, like this: http://i.minus.com/jbgReTiUWCZYHv.png That would make it feel more tightly integrated with Android.

- Being able to pull Swapps out slowly rather than having it zoom in once you complete the gesture would feel more natural.

- The ability to push Swapps away would be cool, rather than it just vanishing.

- Implement alphabetical scrolling with a draggable scroll handle when scrolling through all apps. This would drastically decrease the amount of time it takes to find a certain app.

- Offer a paid version with no banners, including the Swapps icon and name. To really polish this app off you want to make it feel like a part of Android. Whenever I see "Get free apps" or the top Swapps banner, I'm reminded that I'm using an app and not built in functionality, which is how it could feel. I would gladly pay a couple dollars to have a clean experience.

- Offer a keep in memory option for root users. I hate having an icon and loosing notification real estate to make sure the system doesn't kill the app. Making it transparent still uses the same real estate, you just don't see it and it leaves an awkward gap between icons.

- More customization. I would love to be able to adjust app name sizes, how far Swapps come in, animation speed, divider color, etc. These options could be accessed through an overflow button within Swapps instead of having to track down the app in the app drawer.

- I would love the ability to change the icon sizes. You could make your icons huge like Ubuntu, or like how they are currently. An option to disable app names, or place them under Icons instead could really make this app shine.

Just some suggestions :) I know a lot of them are only cosmetic but I really feel like Swapps could change the way people use their phones.

Then its something wrong. There are apps that just stay there, although they are for sure not running.

Also when I'm switching between Apps from Swapps and I get to one of the app that was previously opened, let say Play Store, not the activity that was previously opened is shown (My Apps), but a new instance of the main activity. Now, If I'm pressing back, the old activity is displayed. And when you switch several times, every time a new instance is created.

In my oppinion, the RecentApps is the most usefull part of the app but I understand it more like "Apps that were started recently". Thus, even if the app is not more running, I can still start it with just one click.

Thanks for your work! :good::good::good:

Hi

Just tried this out - very very useful. This is sooo convenient. Just one small problem I noticed - some apps (I noticed only two - People and Camera) on my phone don't get launched if I add them to the STARRED APPS section or if I try to launch them from the ALL APPS section. I get the following error message "Can't Launch App. Please contact us with error information". But the same apps - if present in the RECENTLY USED APPS section launch properly. Hope you could do something about this.
