One suggestion....given the ability of many custom roms to customize the navbar (add buttons, remove menu autohide/appear), it becomes really a PITA to activate the app drawer. Swipes up even at the edge will activate Google Now (because of the ability to add buttons, and every button swipes up to Google Now), so a tap directly at the activation is needed. Is it possible to have an option to place the app drawer activation location at the left or right areas? Different colored activations in the setup would make this a snap.

On a side note, the app drawer popup is still beneath the navbar in current latest beta 1.3.7, but I've already reported over at Groups.

Still can't scroll down to the bottom of the configuration screen. This happens in all the custom roms I've tried. Using latest version.

Thanks for letting me know. I am currently working on changing the settings from a window into an activity. This will fix a lot of the issues people may have with the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] mike208:
Yes I am rooted and running a custom rom on an AT&T Galaxy Note i717. I have since flashed to another rom and am trying action launcher, which has a sidebar similar to your app. But I will try your suggestions as soon as I can and report back any findings. Kepp up the good work though, the app idea is great.

hi,

Phone: Xperia Z

Rom: Stock 434 root

Very interesting aplication ^^

I have bought the full version, the switch fonction works fine but the app laucher not, very small, even if i put icons size to the max.

I think there is a probleme for high screen resolution...
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
OK, here's a screenshot of the app drawer popup appearing underneath the navbar. Able to fix this? :D
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Yes in the next update there will be a fix for that. I am going to auto fill with some toggles when the view is empty. However you will probably need to put an extra app at the bottom to push the ones you want above the navbar.

Also the next update will include increased size limits so higher res devices can make icons and detection areas larger.

This update should be out by the end of the week.

Thanks to everyone who has supported Kakudo and for their patience as I try and fix the issues.

That looks very nice indeed...good to know what app you are switching to.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Yes it is quite good but some of the things that I have been working on coming in the next update will improve my app quite a bit. And Mohammed is a very good developer and I hope that his app will only make me make mine better.

The only reason I included an app drawer in my app was because in the early stages of developing Kakudo I couldn't open sidebar (not sidebar's fault). And once I decided to make the app drawer I decided to implement things that I had asked for with sidebar (such as the bottom gravity, indicating toggles, actually closing the service when turned off, and at least on my device much better RAM usage, 5MB in standby usually for Kakudo while Sidebar never goes below 10MB).

I don't want this thread becoming a competition thread over who's is better either. Also wouldn't like it just becoming a thread promoting other people's work. I really like the feedback about Kakudo I have gotten from here and have implemented some of it in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] borrego:
Keep up the good works and I look forward for the next release.

I like Kakudo very much for its small footprint and its not interfering with other Swipe enable applications. The apps I use most frequently are Dolphin Browser, Flipboard, and Google Music, all have their own swipe actions. The fact that Kakudo's tab tab action won't interfere with these 3 apps is very important.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Just posted a major new update. I think everyone will find this update much more useful.

Features include:

True Swipe Detection, so there shouldn't be anymore accidental triggers.

Better detection areas for higher res devices

For people who were having trouble with the app drawer being behind the nav bar, it is now pre-filled so you can see the add button.

I completely redesigned the settings menu to be more suitable for international use as well as a better fit on all screens

Added an all apps toggle

Added Animations when swiping for android Jelly Bean

Added three new side swipe features:

-Multi-Touch for those who want to use 2 fingers to switch between apps

-One Side for those who want to switch between apps using only one side

Just swipe up to go one way and down to go the other

-All Recent Apps Window

Long Swipe or 2 (3 in Multi-Touch) finger swipe to open a window and see All Recent Apps

You can hold down to kill the recent app's background processes to free up memory (it doesn't remove it from recent apps though)

I think that is all the new stuff.

Thanks to everyone who has supported Kakudo
[Android Apps and Games] gamepois0n:
above post made me buy the app D:

here r some features still missing :eek:

Able to close apps

Reduce the amount of battery needed for this app!

p.s. rated 5 stars just to push up the rating system 4 you :D
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Thanks and I hope you like the new features.

From everything I have read the ability to close apps needs root access. All apps that claim to close apps don't actually do so they just kill the background process (which I put in the all recent apps window) and then they hide it from their running/recent app list (which I don't do). I didn't do it because I have read a lot of reviews of other apps that people gave poor ratings because they thought closing meant removing it from android's recent apps window.

Do you know of a good app to measure battery use by app? Because when I go to the settings>battery, Kakudo doesn't show up on the list as using battery.
[Android Apps and Games] gamepois0n:
thanks for explaining things to me :D

but Im not sure how to watch battery usage, guess u can try using watchdog

also the swiping is a bit laggy :eek: so maybe its just a new way I have to get use to.

also some users might get their app crashed after the update, just clear the app's data because the new app doesn't recognize old data ;p guess its pretty new :D
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Oh thanks for reminding me I had to change one of the settings types and that's what is crashing it.

The swipe goes when the touch is lifted so that may be what's causing the laggyness
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
New update is really good!! And you were able to set the side animations from left to right depending on the side, which is cool.

I thought I liked the "just touch, no need to swipe", but I sometimes I tapped it without intention, so it's great. And it's not laggy at all, but as you say, it's when you release your finger, so yeah if you don't release it, it seems laggy, but it's actually great.

PS: The "only one side" appears in Spanish as "Egyik Oldalon", which I have no idea what that is (I had to guess by the left-right and come here to confirm). It's "Solo un lado".

Keep it up :)
[Android Apps and Games] GerBBAR14_c:
Watched the introduction video from Play and bought the pro version without even trying the lite one first. Thank you, great work. And keep the updates coming sir.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
I think that's Hungarian. I remember putting Un Lado in the Spanish Translations. The Hungarian file is right after the Spanish one so I must have opened the wrong one not even realizing it and put the Hungarian in for the Spanish (Although I just checked and the Hungarian was correct).

I'm glad that video was effective. Took me all day to do because the heat and humidity today combined with the frustration of trying to keep my tablet in screen made me change locations in my house 3 times. Then it took 2 hours to upload from my iphone to my dropbox because dropbox wasn't working correct today. Then Windows Movie Maker kept crashing for some reason when I tried to put the captions in. But I think it came out pretty good.
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
Acela, are you getting many testers? Because when I click the "join this group to be a beta tester", I get redirected to a Google Groups mobile web, then to the main Groups page, but I never get to the Kakudo group. Can you check it out? :)
[Android Apps and Games] GerBBAR14_c:
One thing that currently makes the swiping from sides pretty useless is that it's active even on top of a keyboard. There should be an option to disable it automatically when a keyboard is active.
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
What if you set the bars to the upper part of the screen and adjust the length to the point where the keyboard ends, as I have? (Premium version)

;)

[Android Apps and Games] GerBBAR14_c:
Well, I'd call that only a workaround. What if I wanted to specifically use the bottom part of the screen on sides (as I actually do)? :o Your suggestion is not a solution to the problem.

For instance AOKP ribbons have this option to be disabled when the keyboard is active so it shouldn't be too hard to implement it here.
[Android Apps and Games] borrego:
Any link for downloading the previous Pro version? Or add back the option to use the Tab action?

The swipe action is very unpredictable, especially when Dolphin Browser, Flipboard, and Google Music are among the apps to switch.

The recent app list is buggy, Half of the time pressing the icon in list would do nothing.

Now I am using the APP Drawer for switching app
[Android Apps and Games] gamepois0n:
he tried to do somwthing like that but somehow it just doesn't work
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
I haven't found anyway of listening for the keyboard. I'll take a look at the app you mentioned.

For now the detection area doesn't need to be that large to work so try and make it as small as you can. All you need is the original touch in the detection area not the rest of the swipe.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
I found an app that measures battery usage. Its called Battery Stats plus. I have been using it for the past couple of days and it is telling me that Kakudo uses less than 0.1%. So I think that is pretty good for battery use. I also did a test where I charged my tablet up to 100% and then left it for 2 hours while Kakudo was running and did the same without Kakudo running. The battery only dropped 1% in both cases. So I don't believe Kakudo is using battery while its in standby. As with any app though the more you use it to switch apps and open the app drawer it will use battery, but I don't think it uses anymore than other similarly functioning apps.

Looking at other apps such as Twitter, Facebook, Dash clock, Google Play Music (which I have never used or even opened) all are using more memory even though none of them are open nor do I have them as widgets on my home screen. Beautiful widgets and Sportacular which I do have widgets on my home screen also are using more memory.

So I think Kakudo's battery and memory usage are consistent with other apps, if not better than other popular apps. And I don't think there can be much more battery optimization that I can do.
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
Good. I disabled Kakudo and other 2 "similar" (other uses, but services and stuff) to avoid battery draining while I spent the day out, but the battery drained exactly the same, so I won't bother again :p

Minor thing: when writing, eg. an SMS, so the keyboard is up, if the side bar is touched accidentally (not swiped, so it won't change the app), the keyboard goes away. [I've got the bars in the upper part above keyboard to avoid keyboard-sidebar conflict, it's not that]. Is there anything that can be done about it?

:)
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
I saw an app that I think uses the same library as I do today that seemed to be able to move when the keyboard was opened, so I am trying to figure out how they were able to listen for the keyboard. If I can figure this out then I can make it so the bars hide or move out of the way when the keyboard is open.
[Android Apps and Games] gamepois0n:
also games ._.

and why when I unchecked "start on boot" it still start on boot -.-
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
I know of the way games and regular apps listen for keyboards. They listen for the screen size of there app to change. Like this xda app moves the submit button up when the keyboard is open. I know how to do that but because my app draws over other apps and isn't a normal app it doesn't move with the keyboard when using this method.

I will look into the start on boot it shouldn't be doing that but I may have messed up when copying the code in the last update.
[Android Apps and Games] Jusnice:
I to have gone through the keyboard issue as well as the side bars jus getting in the way of everyday use. I'm currently on the lite version, want to try b4 I buy, so my options are limited. I jus shortened the bar and width and life is good. At times the the recent apps window is unresponsive but all in all im loving the app. Can't wait to see future updates to improve this awesome app. Thanks Dev.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
I figured out a slight fix and it will be included in the next update (going up tonight or tomorrow morning). All it does is stop it from closing the keyboard when the detection area is touched. It still stops key touches if they are under the swipe area though, but since they don't need to be very large I don't think they should block an entire key.
[Android Apps and Games] gamepois0n:
Allow user to drag where the bar is would be an nice idea :)
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Which one are you thinking? The swipe bars or the app drawer?
[Android Apps and Games] gamepois0n:
the bars
[Android Apps and Games] gamepois0n:
this is what I'm talking about
[Android Apps and Games] elzafir:
What the hell is that? Is that even the Kakudo app?
[Android Apps and Games] gamepois0n:
if you have a brain then you will know that the red spots I marked are the spots to activate Kakudo and as you can see, Kakudo blocked those two functions for the App I'm using.
[Android Apps and Games] elzafir:
Sorry, left my brain on the toilet.

Let me get it now real quick.

[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
I didn't understand what you were trying to show either. I was like why would you want a done and cancel button? Now I see what you want to be able to do. Although the poor app design by whoever made that app with such small buttons I can see how Kakudo may interfere with other apps.

For now I would make the detection area smaller as it doesn't need to be that large to work.

In the future I am thinking about allowing users to unlock it from the bottom and allow them to drag it anywhere on the screen or lock it to another side. Just need to test to see how much memory it ends up using because I would need to listen for configuration changes if I totally unlock it. I think at first it will just be an option like bottom, side, top and then whatever side you have the fav app drawer open on it would be that. I don't think I'll do a center on top and bottom option as it would be a pain on phones with soft nav buttons and Google now.

Please can you fix this because I've really loved this on my old live with walkman
[Android Apps and Games] gamepois0n:
be more specific please @.@
[Android Apps and Games] Lumbin:
Really cool app! Haven't found anything better than this for multitasking on android so far so kudos. Couple of things:

- I have the pro version and notifications unticked but it still stays as a persistent notification which I cannot get rid of

- sometimes apps that I have open just won't appear when I swipe the screen. Whenever this happens I also can't access them from the swipe app draw, so something is going on there!

Love the app though man - my android browsing experience is so much better because of you. Well done.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
You're going to have to be more specific. Does it not even open? Does it not change apps? Does the fav app drawer not work?

Thanks I'm glad I could improve your android experience.

-To fully get rid of the persistent notification go to your devices system settings>apps>Kakudo and uncheck show notifications. The persistent notification is right now needed so Android doesn't close the app on its own. unchecking show notifications though will also stop the little toast notifications that say no apps open and no other apps open as well.

-The apps may not be appearing because they have crashed. I know I have experienced this sometimes when an app crashes it doesn't let me swipe to it.

According to what I have read MIUI turns off overlays. You have to go to settings and give Kakudo permission for overlays.
[Android Apps and Games] f_padia:
Hi, nice app. However it always force closes when I do long swipe. Short swipe is fine and it flicks through recent apps as it should but long swipe opens recent apps box then force closes immediately. I have HTC one X running custom JB ROM.

Couple of suggestions for improvements...

1) Allow customisation of long swipe length - default is too short I think

2) Allow to change swipe actions. Ideal for me would be, for example, swipe from right edge: go 'back'; from left edge: previous app/favourites and swipe from bottom edge: go home (My touch buttons are broken so i'd love to be able to navigate using swipes :))
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
I am trying to figure out why the recent apps is closing for some. I think I know what is causing it and hopefully it will be fixed soon.

1)I am adding a setting sub menu just for the recent apps window in the next update. It will allow for a lot of different customizations such as swipe length, background color and other things as well.

2)this would take a complete rewrite of the app which I am not currently thinking of doing. I may add an option to have a back function though on the unused side when in one side mode.

Hi Guys

I have an XDAII and also another phone, a Nokia.... I have recently had a Nokia Car Kit 7W (bluetooth capable) installed in my car. This would be ideal, as I have the 2 phones (nokia and XDAII).

The only thing is, I can't get the XDAII to connect to the Bluetooh Car Kit via a Bluetooth Handset connection. It connects but not via a Handset connection....

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I came to relies on the S-Note for taking quick notes in my Note device. S-Notes have the ability to backup the notes to Samsung Cloud server.

However, I also have a Nexus 7 and even though it doesn't have a stylus, I want to have the ability to read the notes I took with my Note device.

Thus, is it possible to extract the S-Notes apk and run it in the Nexus 7?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
I HIGHLY doubt it. S-Notes runs on touchwiz and nexus doesn't. So you won't be able to run S-Notes, but you might be able to read them with a different app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
You can export the your notes to jpg or pdf file I believe.
