No issues using PIE controls in conjunction with Sidebar. When I first installed Sidebar, I was worried there might be some performance issues, but I have been pleasantly surprised. I am pretty particular about things working properly, too. If there was even the slightest problem, I would have stopped using one or the other.

What kernel are you using? I'm on M-Kernel, if that helps at all. I also extended the touch area for Sidebar all the way to the bottom of the screen, since I don't use soft keys.

Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

Finally bought the app after following this thread since the beginning... Few questions I would like to ask to verify I am correct

1) the only way to have sidebar on both sides is by installing the lite version as well?

2) I see custom icons are supported but I'm not sure how to get them to show on the bar... I have the icons used through apex instead of stock but they don't show when I add on bar

3) how can I make the icons smaller? I remember seeing someone ask this but can't seem to track down the answer

Keep up the good work...

Scratch number two... Figured it out, have to do it one by one... There isn't an easier way... Kind of sucks we have to go one by one for all of our apps... Or am I doing it wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] blenkows:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

I just don't like the notification in general. I like a clean status bar. I'm hiding it right now but I hate how it basically leaves a blank space where the icon should be.

I couldn't care less about the notification drawer. I personally like it in case I need to access sidebar settings

[Android Apps and Games] BishopBlaize:
Feedback

Great app, just purchased.

A few requests/bits of feedback.

It'd be nice if, when changing an icon, you could select from an icon pack as launchers usually do. At the mo you are sent to the gallery, but I have no icons there they're all in packs from the market.

Having Home and Back buttons in the widgets section would be great. Then I could get rid of the button bar at the bottom. I guess this would be a niche request.

Showing all apps is a bit slow, its still quicker to go via home screen on my galaxy nexus, which is a shame.

Finally I wonder if people might be put off the free version because of it defaulting to left side swipes? Even on my mid-sized GNex it was hard to regularly reach my thumb up and swipe from the upper left quadrant of the screen. Right side was loads better, but I had to take a punt on the paid version to test it out. I'm glad I did, but dont want people to be put of using the app for that reason, especially as there are other free apps on the market that do right side switching or launching.

Anyway, hope I dont sound like im moaning, app is great, looking forward to seeing it develop.

With a color picker, of course :).

Maybe giving the choice between the simple indicator, and the glowing light effect.

This effect could be a special pro feature also :).

That happens when you go to the home screen and try to launch a running app. Touch the home screen and open the sidebar and it should be one click. The problem is that the home screen doesn't have focus unless u touch it.

I really can't stand apps with permanent notifications that are visible from the home screen, I spend more time on my phone and not getting on with what I should be doing as I always see the notification and think I have an email or message etc.

This works great but after a while, if you have the sensitivity set too low, it would stop working until you raise the sensitivity up. but with it set too high it gets in the way of your keyboard etc, real annoying when trying to type.

Set the hotspot for sidebar to the "top left" or "top right" and change the height of it so that it won't cover the keyboard. Problem solved.
[Android Apps and Games] Marlon90:
I have a suggestion for a a little improvement.

I've set my launcher so that when I tap once on the home key it brings me to the home and if I tap it again it opens the app drawer. This can be done with Apex and some others launchers too. However, when I'm on the home pressing the home key won't open the app drawer if the sidebar is opened, I have to manually close the sidebar by tapping somewhere and then I can open the app drawer.

I've already said how much I love this app and this is the only little issue that I've had with it up to now. I don't know if this can/will be fixed, but the app is great anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] MrxSiN:
here my ultimate suggestion to improve capability of multitasking and friendly smartphone operation.

1. Add a folder in sidebar. Meaning here, some user put alot of app in sidebar. Scrolling up and down maybe not too friendly, (Better to use app drawer if like that) so, In that folder, we can put an app. Like categorize them. Than opening folder will act like a popup. (maybe launching by pressing the icon or swipe them).

2. Add a back home and menu button. For huge device like me s3, my hand can be said, average size, on one-handed operation, when using right hand reaching thumb to back button is hard, sometime phone almost drop. Cant imagine how useful if i can add back and menu button on sidebar. Open something, want go back? Swipe than back. Easy :D
[Android Apps and Games] Marlon90:
Yeah, I've been thinking about this one too, though I personally don't need it cause I use LMT anyway. If this feature is merged Sidebar could act like a sort of pie. That would be great for sure, but chances are it would require root.

edit: no, thinking about it, what I just said is stupid, it almost certainly would not require root.

[Android Apps and Games] z3phyr02:
I set it on the bottom so i can use it with one hand. If i set it on the top it would be too far for my thumb to reach and would have to use my other hand.

btw by turning on the show pointer location in developer option, i see that the whole left n right edges of the screen doesn't respond to touches and that's why I have to raise the sensitivity. restarting the phone fixes it but only for a little while. does this happen to anyone else? is this cause by side bar or is there something wrong with my phone.
