Re: [2.3+][UPDATE 23/2][1.2] Swapps! Ubuntu inspired app drawer, just better

I figured out why the top X is cut off on my phone, and it's so simple! When the nav bar is enabled on aosp roms, the app doesn't compensate for it and cuts off the X close Window bar. I don't even know if that's an issue your able to address.

+1 would be nice to use holo launchers

swipe gesture to launch the app.

sometimes the right or left launch area effects the keyboard and/or swiping while browsing the internet.

Hi

I used to use Swapp on my Note 2 (before the replacement of motherboard) and everything is fine. I can open the default 'Gallery' without any problem from the Starred Apps. But after the replacement of new motherboard, when I add 'Gallery' to the Starred Apps list, and click on it, it says 'No video/image files'. I have no issue accessing 'Gallery' Apps through other means. Anyone knows how to resolve this? Uninstalling/re-installing Swapp does not solve this problem... I hate to factory reset my Note II again.. :(

The recent changes on the way Swapps launches apps probably made some problems with some apps, I'll fix it ASAP.

About not being available in Serbia, that's odd.. I activated Swapps on every country that is on Google play, do you mean the in app purchase maybe?

Nice App! Very useful. Suggestion, not sure if already considered. Add ability to 1) swipe recent apps to remove (like the standard recents) vs. having to long press and select kill background process, 2) pressing the "RECENTLY USED APPS" label will remove all recent apps (like some of the CM and AOKP ROMs do).

[Android Apps and Games] kashortiexda:
Re: [2.3+][UPDATE 1/3][1.2.2] Swapps! Ubuntu inspired app drawer, just better

hi Roshga

thanks for this - very cool, and very handy...

some ideas for your new update...

1)Below is a screen I saw elsewhere, if there is a way to expand the items in the list for mail / messages and contacts ( maybe just favourites)

2) perhaps a way to theme Swapps? ( I decompiled it and themed it, looks cool - I have not put a screen shot because I don't have your permission to modify, I did it out of curiosity, and only for personal use) but theme-ability would be great and it's why we love Android

3) the top bar, where it presently says Close Apps could be split and used for

a) "show recent/running" = like long - press home to get recent / running apps and task killer

b) go to launcher home screen ( or open toggles window).. maybe another idea would be to make those split buttons I mention above fully configurable for System Actions

In the previous posts there have been some great ideas.. this app has the ability to take multitasking to a whole new level :)

I will definitely donate today, and look forward to seeing what your new edition looks like.... there is so much potential here to be completely multi-taskable and configurable, theme able

Well done, and thanks

Re: [2.3+][UPDATE 1/3][1.2.2] Swapps! Ubuntu inspired app drawer, just better

I got to say you took the surprise out of my plans, I'm working on a really cool new update, kind of rebuild the whole thing to include most of what people asked. Including toggles, direct calls and massages, themes and what not.. It'll take some time and maybe I'll release it in a few updates and not all at a time, but definitely that's something to wait for...
[Android Apps and Games] roshga:
Re: [2.3+][UPDATE 1/3][1.2.2] Swapps! Ubuntu inspired app drawer, just better

Mnml view is also planned, will be different from that app because Swapps is special, it's meant to replace your need of app drawer while staying lite and snappy.

You'll see what I mean in the close future..

[Android Apps and Games] ngyurov:
Great app mate, really like it. So much better than Sidebar. The only annoying thing is the "Get free apps" ad, but I guess something has to pay the bill after all. Also, Swapps always shows in the "recently used" list, which I don't think it should. Could you add an option to exclude certain apps from the recently used list? I think that would greatly improve what you've already done so far. :)

Helped a bit with the Bulgarian translations.

[Android Apps and Games] Staggers:
I doubt that would make sense. If you were in an app that uses gestures (such as Flipboard, Feedly or many others, or a launcher like Nova or Apex) how would the system be able to differentiate between the gestures from those apps and the gestures from Swapps?

[Android Apps and Games] dimmonk:
Hi,

There's one feature I'd really like to see added to Swapps which goes inline with replacing the drawer as a whole. If you could replace the ''Close Drawer'' with a search bar that searches for apps, contact, musics, etc. Basically an on-device search bar. You could add ''Search online'' option in the results to search online for whatever you just typed in.

An extra option for the search bar: by being able to categorizing the apps (Media, Games, Productivity, etc.) I could type in Games to show all the games in the results in case I forget the name of the app.

One app that has this implemented well is Action Launcher.

Great app btw. Would love to have a pay option to get that ''Get Free Apps'' link off. Such a waste of space :P.

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] arn.yong:
Great App, but one idea to make it Ultimate!

The new update's great! Finally can multitask on my android phones, even the slow gingerbread one's. Just an idea though,

This app could be better if:

-For the recent apps section of this app, try adding the swipe to kill app, something like the ICS/Jellybean Task manager. Then it would be like an all in one multitasking app with a "task manager".

Thanks anyways! :)

Close button's placement is great too. But we still can't close it with back button or with sliding back.

It looks good too. Kind of holo looking. Didn't have to change colors. Looks awesome as it is.
