As someone already said, the new permissions are for the notifications unread counts. You don't need to worry about that.

I will create an plugin app just for that feature and remove these permissions from the main app soon, so you can wait and update at that time if you prefer.

Edit:

The location is for the gps toggle.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
thanks for the clarification, appreciate it
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
Thanks for the clarification. Its always better to add in whats new description why the new permissions are for.

Will wait for the next update before updating thanks

Hey. Wonderful work on GloveBox. Just bought the premium version.

Just wondering, in your video, the launcher (is it? maybe a themer theme?) is showing the Drawer Icon along 3 more icons (Search, Play and Menu) to the right. Mind sharing where those are coming from?

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
It's the great, action launcher ;)
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
No problem. You're right, i was going to add them to the description.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
Nice new release. Just one thing. The icons distance/spacing even set to minimum is larger as in the former release.

Can you adjust this?

[Android Apps and Games] carrot34:
Yes, I've been struggling with this too. I've rolled back to 3.1.5 to get the more densely spaced icons back. Hoping that an update adds this flexibility back in.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Yes, i will try to adjust the minimum spacing on the next updates coming.
[Android Apps and Games] carrot34:
Cool! Thanks so much, Francisco!
[Android Apps and Games] rphlfjrd:
Wonderful work! Been using it for quite a while.

May I ask where I can get icon packs?

Bug

First I would like to say great app! I use it everyday. I have noticed a bug that does not occur all the time but than disables some features. After it does occur once it occurs every time after that when you click configure from the notification. I have a few screenshots of the issues. they are attached. the first Screenshot_2013-12-31-23-32-09.png) the initial error: "Error: Failed to query inventory: labResult: Error refreshing inventory (query prices of items). (response: 6:Error)."

Then in the next screenshot (Screenshot_2013-12-31-23-32-23.png) it shows the Pin recent tasks disabled which occurs after the error. I do have the premium license so that is not the issue.

The last one (Screenshot_2013-12-31-23-32-33.png) is showing the Unread counts which is disabled due to the error.

The app still functions but I have to uninstall and re-install the app to make the issue go away. I have done this once and the error occurred again.

My device is a 2012 Nexus 7 running Android 4.4.2 build number KOT49H.

Just thought you would like to know about the error.

Happy New Year!
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Thank you for the report, i'll try to fix this issue in the next update.

Is there any way to make the trigger on 1 side but let the bar appear on the other side? I prefer the trigger to be on the right hand size, as I'm right handed and quite a few of my apps have already got sidebars on the left, but this causes my finger to block the view of the bar. Having the trigger on the right side and the bar on the left would fix this.
[Android Apps and Games] Burrro:
This is a nice idea! I would like to have this feature too!
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Yes, these are the necessary permissions.

I removed the permissions related with the unread counts.

android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS

android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG

android.permission.READ_CONTACTS

android.permission.READ_SMS

com.google.android.gm.permission.READ_CONTENT_PROVIDER

Let me know if you have any question about the current permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Thank you for the idea, i think this was already suggested by someone and it's a great idea.

I will add this in the appropriated moment.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:

I love glovebox but the only thing is, is that it can be laggy and if you quickly swipe to open the drawer it is quite stuttery when you navigate it.
[Android Apps and Games] Nedle:
When you enable reversed order for folders the recent app lists doesn't get reversed. This isn't a big problem but it does scroll the list to the bottom, which is annoying as the most recent apps will be at the top. It works properly when you have reversed order disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] Wh1t3Rose:
Did you enable "Keep in memory"?
[Android Apps and Games] davej23:
Yes I do but it's still not smooth on nexus 4
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Thanks for the report.

I'll try to fix this soon.

I can't replicate the lag even using a mid range device.

I'll try to find what could be causing this issue.

Here on Moto X everything running smoothly. One exception it gets very slow when using a huge icon theme. I solved it with adding the images manually.

Recent Apps Problem

I have a Galaxy S4

I activated the Recent Apps option and it doesn't matter which app it is it shows the same icon as one of the other apps for all the apps recently opened.
[Android Apps and Games] Nedle:
Are you using the latest version? I had this issue of mixed icons on an earlier version but seems fixed in the latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] stevegarriques:
Yeah I do have the latest version and I still have the icon problem with recent apps :(
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
That's odd, i can't replicate the issue anymore. I'll try to find out what could be causing the issue.

hi

im using the 3.2.202, on N5, and the icons just disappear with no reason.

im not using icon packs or nothing.

Display app names alongside icons

Hi.

I would like the names of apps to be displayed by default (always) alongside the app icon in the slideout menu - just like they are displayed in Glovebox folders.

Perhaps this could be an option that users can toggle (default = off).

I really get exhausted having to remember each time which icon refers to each app - I just want this guesswork to be taken out of the equation.

Not sure if this has been requested before.

Thanks. :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Nico3d3:
I made a french translation for the app because I really like what the application is doing and french is my native language. You can download the strings.xml on my Google Drive. Do I get freebie for doing that job?
[Android Apps and Games] partylikeaninjastar:
If you're taking suggestions, then I have a few:

1) An option to open folders from Glovebox as a popup folder the way launchers do rather than the wider side bar that Glovebox currently does.

2) Choice of folder icon. Instead of the default circle folder with the default stacked icons, and option to choose from other folder styles and icon stacking styles (as seen in any 3rd party launcher) or maybe even choosing a custon icon to represent the folder as seen in Glovebox.

3) In addition to selecting the Quick Swipe and Full Swipe actions, also include a way to change the function of the default swipe and hold action for those that prefer it always stays open upon launching.

4) A long press to open in Halo option for supported roms in addition to the always open in Halo option so that we could just long press a shortcut if we wanted it open in Halo rather than always having it open in Halo.

5) Fixed widget sizes. While being able to adjust widget size on the fly is nice, for the most part, you really don't need to change the widget size every time you open it. There should be some way to size a widget, then lock it to that size so that it's always the preferred size rather than having to resize it every time.

6) Instead of duplicating the the bar on both sides of the screen when selecting it to open on both the left and right, maybe have an option to have a separate bar with separate shortcuts or to have a bar that opens up recents as default. That way we could quickly access our recents on one side and our favorite apps on the other.

+1 for all of the above.
[Android Apps and Games] partylikeaninjastar:
Another idea: when changing the configuration of the margins, can there be separate settings for whether or not the phone is landscape or portrait? Personally, I don't like having the visible trigger, but when my phone is in landscape, it's impossible to activate anything that I have to swipe from the right side of the screen since my navigation bar is there. Ideally, I'd like the visible trigger to activate when my phone is in landscape and then turn off when it's in portrait. Does that make sense? And would it be doable?

Hi,

As I see there is no german translation, so I'll translate the strings.xml into german.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
This will be added soon.

Thank you very much for these. I will definitely implement some (or all eventually) of these suggestions. :good:

That would be great :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
I'm sorry for the delay on the update, specially because of the bug making the app close after a while.

The update will be available very shortly.
[Android Apps and Games] dems86:
Just tried this app out today (finally, not sure why I haven't sooner) and damn is it awesome. Super quick and smooth, and the icon support and everything else are just cherries on top. Definitely pikcing up in-app purch. to support, very cool. Haven't notcied the closing bug others are talking about but maybe I haven;t been using it long enough. Either way I'm sure it will be fixed in next update. Kudos, and thanks for giving me cool app to play with and streamline my using.

ps. Am I missing an option to make Folder's backround Dark or Transparent? Maybe I just dont see it, the white just kind of clashes with shadow or transparent slide out. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] partylikeaninjastar:
GloveBox doesn't appear to start running after a reboot. It'll show up in my notification tray, but, until I click that, I can't activate it by swiping the edge of my screen. The same with Loopr. I'm running a Nexus 5 stock with Xposed Frameworks.
[Android Apps and Games] Va1ha1a:
I've noticed that when using the Ubuntu theme, my icons are all the Tasker Icon, but when using the stock theme, the icons work. Attached are screenshots.
[Android Apps and Games] michiil:
[MENTION=4850119]fmaster1[/MENTION] it would be so awsome if you clould make your app compatible with external keyboards. So you can navigate through the apps with arrow up and down and lauch an app witch enter (: i dont know how hard it would be to add this but it would definitly worth a donation (:

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
I'm sorry, this will be fixed soon.

Thanks for the idea. I'm not sure if in practice this would be much useful but in future i might implement it.

[Android Apps and Games] Damien11:
I was looking for an app for quick switching like this, tried switchr and swipepad, this totally wins. Many thanks! Looking forward to future awesome updates.
[Android Apps and Games] partylikeaninjastar:
Switchr is meant as a recent apps picker. I use that, then have my recents button set to switch to the last open app.

Glovebox is great for a list of commonly used apps. I also use Swapps on the opposite edge of my screen to access all my apps instead of just my favorites. I used to use Appsi, but switched back to Swapps. Both are good when used in conjunction with apps like Glovebox or Sidebar.
[Android Apps and Games] ayoubij:
[MENTION=4850119]fmaster1[/MENTION] in the latest glovebox, its very annoying the recent apps, when you swipe till the end of the screen by mistake and open the recent apps, its very hard to return back, unlike older versions. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP
[Android Apps and Games] ayoubij:
So glove box died and now is full of bugs :@
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
Who said that it is dead?
[Android Apps and Games] ayoubij:
Seems like it. There are 2 major bugs in the app and no response from the developer.

Was willing to get the paid version but i guess now ill just search for an alternative :(
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Maybe he has a real life?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
True, but if you ask people to pay for a Pro version it's only fair they expect some kind of support in return. And if the developer is busy just drop a note so we know the project is still alive.

It's starting to be some kind of standard practice lately with some app developers. Launch a paid app and abandon it soon after launching it.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Sorry guys for all the time without any news.

I'll be start rolling out beta versions very soon, hopefully today i'll upload one.

The project is definitely not 'dead'...
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Good to see you back :good:

If you are going to launch a beta soon can you please check the beta opt-in link on G+, it's not working ATM.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
The link is fine but it is only working for the people who joined the previous group. As soon as i upload a new beta it should work for everyone who joined the group.

also when I open the bar, the icons take time to load, black things appear, it never was like that slow before.

Do you have the latest beta? This issues were fixed but not yet in production.
[Android Apps and Games] ayoubij:
Yes i have the latest beta, its better than the older version but sometimes like i told u i open the bar and the icons start to load inside. It is not instant.

[Android Apps and Games] dems86:
In one of the last few updates I noticed that there are no longer seperate settiings for Sidebar Theme and Icon Style, whereas before I could set the Sidebar to any theme, and then match up and other Icon theme along with it (highlight, ubuntu back, etc). Now they are all self contained and there is no way to mix and match. Any plans to revert to the old seperate sidebar/icon style settings?
[Android Apps and Games] partylikeaninjastar:
A couple of things. When opening a folder, it doesn't draw over the status bar, if that option is checked.

And would it be possible for you to implement Popup Widget shortcut support? I originally purchased the app for widget support, but I'm not really a huge fan of how they're implemented. Popup Widgets work really good and it would be nice if your app supported it.

Edit*** And another thing: Evernote doesn't open with Halo if I have it selected using Glove Box. Using Flotifications, however, opens Halo with no issue.
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Yes, i will give an option to apply the icon and/or the sidebar theme.

This still has to be improved in the coming updates...
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Do you mean to have a floating window with a shortcut? I don't think it is better than open the shortcut directly from the bar...

The folder problem will be fixed and i will test Evernote with Halo and see what the issue is.
[Android Apps and Games] partylikeaninjastar:
The Popup Widget app let's you configure individual shortcuts that, when pressed, launch a floating window which is the predefined widget for that particular. The icon itself acts as and is added to a launcher like any other shortcut, but its action is what calls the floating window. When adding a shortcut in Glove Box, I can choose all my usual shortcuts as options, but Popup Widget is absent from the list.

Upon further investigation, though, I've noticed Swapps has that same problem. When adding a shortcut, all the usual ones are there, but Popup Widget isn't included on the list as you'd expect.

Here's a free version of the app if you wanted to have a look for yourself: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.popupWidget.ad
[Android Apps and Games] luisblop:
Hi,

I've been tasting the sidebar for a couple of days and I'm quit happy with it.

However I notice that my battery has been used a bit faster. Then I would like to ask you if you can add a shortcut to activate/deactivate the sidebar service.

There are two main goals of this shortcut:

-First it saves time to enable or disable the sidebar with one single click instead going to the glovebox settings.

-Second this allows to launch the taskbar from other apps that support shortcuts like tasker and automatically switch off the sidebar to save battery (for instance when the screen is off) and enable it only in useful situations.

I hope you like this suggestion.

NB. If this idea won't be in future plans. Then at least I would like to know how to enable and disable the sidebar with a shell script (if possible).
[Android Apps and Games] ayoubij:
You are right i always notice battery drain when glovebox is enabled.

Really try one day with glovebox enabled and one day with glovebox disabled and you will clearly notice a difference.
[Android Apps and Games] luisblop:
I've noticed exactly this battery drain. But actually I think the problem is that with glovebox's sidebar enabled my phone spends more time awake when the screen is off. Maybe because it takes more time to get in deep sleep state.

Then I think that if the developer add a shortcut to activate/deactivate the sidebar. We can launch glovebox manually or automatically and avoid battery drain. In my case the ideal will be to deactivate glovebox when the screen is off and launch it only when I need it. Actually we are not doing all the time multitasking anyway.

I hope we can get good new soon.

NB. If anyone knows how to activate and deactivate the sidebar with shell script. It would be really helpful while not having a shortcut.
[Android Apps and Games] luisblop:
Bug: Sidebar doesn't open

This time I want to report a bug in curent version 3.2.203

After overnight or long standby of my phone (deep sleep with screen off) later when using again my phone, the gloveboxbar doesn't open as being freeze.

I can see the trigger on my screen and feel the vibration (it is set to visible in my settings) but it simply doesn't open. I have to deactivate and activate again within glovebox settings to make it work again. Actually the play/pause in the notification doesn't work.

I checked the app manager and the glovebox sidebarservice is running but it seems that it works with lower ram about 8 mb. It normally use between 12 and 16 mb of ram. That's why I supposed it was paused.

I wonder if this happen when the glovebox service restarts when the ram is recycle by android. But still though I have not a precise idea.

I hope this can be fix in next update
