[Android Apps and Games] phangs23:
Tried the app, but a question my friend

As with all other side launchers, is there way, aside from setting the width of the side panel for detecting the swipe gesture, too little, to make it non obtrusive. What I mean is that, if you have a wide panel, the lower part where the keyboard is will be basically hard to use e.g. the enter key, shift, etc. I understand that when it is running, the part where sidebar is set will be overlaid on top so anything below it will be hard to use e.g keyboard keys. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

Maybe click the notification?

Settings allow you to configure the swipe area! Watch the video on the first post.

Will do thank you. Loving all the updates, it's all so fun. XD

Also, just want to report I'm having an issue where after awhile the sidebar closes, and I have the notification up and such but after a few hours it still closes. Not sure why. XX

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

If you are on ParanoidAndroid...then yeah blame the ROM but otherwise i haven't heard that bug. Works fine on my nexus 4 and other's phones. what ROM do you have?
[Android Apps and Games] athdaraxen:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

I'm running Slim Bean 4.2.1 Stable 1.0

It didn't do it up until the past, 3 or so updates? I really should have paid better attention. Sorry I'm not much help.
[Android Apps and Games] sonny_c:
First of all, I want to say thank you for creating such a wonderful app. I just saw the review on the XDA portal page and read all 51 pages of your thread. After I was done I went ahead and bought the pro version. :good: No need to mess around with the free version.

Because of Sidebar I got rid of my dock to gain more screen real estate. Then I had to figure out how I would access my Apps drawer. Duh! Nova Launcher has gestures. So I used 'Swipe Up' to access Apps drawer.

Is it possible to add a Backup/Restore feature?

I have a rooted AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 and I often flash different custom ROMs. Apps like Nova launcher & Zooper Widget offer a Backup/Restore feature.

Would it be possible to make the settings menu full screen?

I think it would look cleaner and less distracting without background showing around the edges.

Is Sidebar compatible with Nexus 10?

Thanks again!

-Sonny
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
WOW! Appreciate it!

Is it possible to add a Backup/Restore feature?

Just use TitaniumBackup I guess? Restore data and app

Would it be possible to make the settings menu full screen?

I did a long consideration of this but most people chose the current settings screen. It's unique I guess.

Is Sidebar compatible with Nexus 10?

Yeah, is it not?
[Android Apps and Games] freak69ize:
Yes i agree.. maybe something like in TSF Shell.. it keeps the look of the icon but allows you to customize an icon behind it.. I bought pro and so far everything is great.. except it would be great to drag apps to where you want them placed. Big thanks :)

Get JKay Firmware (For S3 and S2 only), get LMT Launcher, than get Sidebar Pro. Best Combination Ever. Multitasking never been this simple in smartphone
[Android Apps and Games] harrison-matt:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

I haven't quite made it through the whole post, but have an idea for the add app button.

Hide the add button. When a user swipes down bounce at the bottom enough to suggest the exposure of the option.

Allow for a focused swipe down to fully expose. This way the button is not persistent and isn't in the users list of apps yet is still functional. Use similar animation speeds. Like a rubber band.

Great concept, I am excited to create an environment to use it well.

[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
Some suggestions!

Thanks for this fantastic app!

I am all about multitasking, and SideBar helps a lot!

5 minutes after I read about it, I bought the PRO version on the market!!! :)

I would like to make few suggestions:

1. There's an option to "hide" the notification icon, which I like; but sometimes, the icon still holds its place in the task bar. Sometimes, you have 1 icon before and 1 after, leaving a kind of "empty space" in-between. The Tasker developer somehow managed to overcome this issue by forcing the notification at the very end of the list. Could do the same?

2. Another suggestion: it would be VERY useful to be able to add SHORTCUTS to the bar (not just apps). You know, like adding a shortcut on the home screen.

3. And It would be nice to be able to take an icon from the SideBar and drag it up/down to another position inside the SideBar.

Thanks!

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

OK, phew! All 51 pages and a few hours later!

With a support group like this you could always ask for help with any road blocks.

Keep up the momentum! Thank you. I am happy I can support this app.

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

You could always unlock the sidebar in the settings, swipe an icon off, then long press and choose insert where you want to move it to.
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
For now that is my stupid solution to a very complicated problem.

Don't worry, it will get better someday :p
[Android Apps and Games] harrison-matt:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

Is it possible that if I launch this app when it is already running that it display the settings activity? This would be perfect for the people with the notification forced off from the settings.

You could also use the top of the drawer and hide a settings button similar to what I described for the add button. Both of your your settings neatly ticked away but always at your finger tips.

Thanks again.

The apps great, thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] hmnk:
Great app!! A small request.

@ Mohammad_Adib, love this app. Thanks man!!

I have onlly one request, don't know how easy or difficult it would be for you to do this, but if you could at the option of changing the icon(icon image) of the apps added on the sidebar it would be great. At present I'm using a Ubuntu type of an UI on my SK17i, and the default CM10 icons don't go well with the overall look of my screen. I know that if you change the system theme, the icons would change, but if we could change the icons manually to the ones we like, this app would be even better.

Thanks!!

[Android Apps and Games] gkaravid:
Personally I like a lot the hand animation when you run the app from it's icon, it would be a waste to lose it, unless you have an option to turn it off and on.

It would look really sleek if it would be possible to have the animation running also in the startup, on boot load....hehe

In my opinion thin gray line at the edge of panel like on dock bar required. No shadow. Maybe as option. Xperia-look ;)

Is there a changelog or release notes somewhere? There have been lots of feature requests throughout this thread, and it'd be nice to have one place listing what's been implemented. Also, it'd be nice to know which of those new features are specific to the Pro version.
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
Oh this is a very good suggestion too.

My need would be to be able to stop/re-start SideBar with Tasker.

Stop is not an issue (Tasker can just kill it).

But re-Start is an issue because of the HAND. I guess there should be a way to "start SideBar "silent"" (without the hand)?

Maybe there is an "intent" trigger that I could introduce in Tasker to get SideBar started silently?

I'm sure there's a way: see at phone boot, you don't see the HAND! :good:

[Android Apps and Games] blackhartct:
Is it sad i use both this and swappa?

Swappa for its recent Apps list/Full Apps

This for the apps i use all the time.

Edit 1

*Feature Requests*

1. Long Click to Move Items Up/Down the list or even add move up/down to the long click menu

2. App Drawer or App Widget or Some way to get into the settings without the notification on Since the notification isn't really a requirement for JB+ devices.

Edit 2.

Def just read though the posts on this thread and noticed what i've requested is already being worked on so heres a really good one.

3. Allow a positioning of the running apps window. Not really a fan of it on the bottom.

4. And allow multiple side bars to be made so u could have effectively maybe 2 or 3 max. (don't really see why you need more than 3). This would def be alot of work. Prob not until u Finnish this version and start working on ur next release.

If anyone knows of a way to disable Sidebar from working when WidgetLocker lockscreen is displayed I'd appreciate it. I tried adding the mohhamad.adib.sidebar.lite process to WidgetLocker's blocking options but that didn't work
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
You can use Tasker with 2 profiles:

Profile1:

Context: when WL locks

Action: kill... SideBar

Profile2:

Context: when WL unlocks

Action: start/launch SideBar

As mentioned earlier, the issue with this is that when Profile2 starts SideBar, you have the HAND glowing though the screen.

Not very nice...

Hence the request to be able to hide the HAND! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] partylikeaninjastar:
Animation speed is NOT working for me in the paid version. Can anyone else confirm? I just installed the free version to compliment my paid version because the idea of two sidebars was genius and I noticed that in the free version, with the animation speed maxed out, the icons appear instantly. In the paid version, with the animation speed maxed out, they appear one by one.

Paid app feature request: Option to have sidebar on both left and right sides of the screen. Using the free version works for now, but you can't lock the free version.

Also, a way to access the settings without the notification option is definitely needed as mentioned by one of the users above me. Could you add an extra icon to the app drawer? A "Sidebar Settings" icon?
[Android Apps and Games] athdaraxen:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

I've noticed you have to slide the bar in the settings now to the right but all the way to the left so it's gray. Then it will be lighting fast, I think it got mixed up.
[Android Apps and Games] partylikeaninjastar:
Confirmed! Thanks! Apparently that setting is, in fact, backwards on the paid version.
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Oops, does the pro version animation slider not work right? :eek:

Here's how it should work

[0-----------500------------1000]

0 = no animation (instant)

500 = default animation speed

1000 = super slow animation speed
[Android Apps and Games] f.us:
Hi,

first of all: awesome app.

Right now, the pro version acts inverted on that matter.

Meaning:

0 = super slow

1000 = instant

I can live with that... just confusing at the beginning. Especially if it keeps changing ^^

Tabbed App selector?

Yes or No?
[Android Apps and Games] chronicfathead:
Re: [APP][2.1+] Sidebar - A brilliant new way of multitasking on Android.

Only way to do this at the minute is to:

1. Untick the Lock option in the sidebar configuration settings.

2. Swipe the icon you want to move, off the sidebar.

3. Hold down on the icon in the position you want to insert your new app.

4. Choose insert.

5. Choose the app.

6. Repeat till happy.

7. Go back into the configuration screen and tick the Lock option.

8. Profit.

:D

[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Well, if you haven't tried it, why ask? Maybe try the lite and see the differences for yourself?

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

Tried the lite version I'm impressed. But only tried it for a day cause of changing roms frequently. And I planned to purchase the full version.

But my question is, does it eat battery too much when it's running in the background all time all day?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
On ICS+ the Android settings have a battery section. There it shows all the apps that sip battery juice. Sidebar doesn't even SHOW UP on the list, so it eats little to no battery :)

App drawer will now show a rotating progressbar while loading. I know on some devices the apps don't load right away.
