Thank you all for your willingness to help me test future updates. I am currently just learning how the new beta/alpha system works on the Play Developers Console, and as soon as I'm done I'll let everyone know how to become a beta tester for my app.

Again thanks for all the support and help.
[Android Apps and Games] Illudrium:
Quite a useful app but impossible to fully use with pie controls. If only i was using the standard navbar.

EDIT

Turns out i was mistaken. All i needed to do was change my trigger size. Sorry if i gave anybody false impressions!
[Android Apps and Games] denzel09:
I ll try it, curiosity is my name..
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
OK I just finished setting up the beta testing and the beta is now available to download.

To become a beta tester you need to be apart of this Google Group: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?fromgroups#!forum/kakudo-testers

After asking to join I will have to confirm you as a member which I will try to do as quickly as I can. Once your a member of the group you will see a topic that says Beta Link in the group. Go into that and click the link to get the beta version of the app.

As a beta tester you will have full access to Kakudo and I ask that you help improve my app. To do this you will have to participate in the group letting me know how the app is working. If at anytime someone isn't giving feedback about the app updates, I will email them asking if they still want to be a tester. If I don't receive a response I will remove you from the group and you will lose access to the beta version.

Anyone interested just go to the group link and ask for permission to join the group.

Thanks in advance for everyone willing to help.

[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
It is the FULL PRO VERSION, as I clearly state multiple times. The code for the 2 apps is exactly the same. There are 2 lines of code that changes between them disabling certain features in the Lite version and in the beta version I use the same code as the pro version. The only cosmetic difference is it still says Kakudo lite which I was going to change in the next beta update.

Clearly you didn't download the app or read the descriptions of the lite and pro version.

As I understand it if I did the beta testing under the pro version it would still require users to pay. This is a brand new feature to the developer console and every developer is still learning how best to use it.

If you still want to be a tester hopefully this clears up any misconception you may of had. If I don't hear from you by tomorrow afternoon I will remove you from the group as per your request.
[Android Apps and Games] geeknik:
Pretty slick app, unfortunately I found a way to crash the app on demand, which kind of sucks. I sent logs and detailed information to the developer, hopefully helping to make this app even better. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ruvort:
Hope to give it a shot soon
[Android Apps and Games] ronniereiff:
Great app all it needs is some customization to the task bar

enable/disable app dividers

enable/disable glossy and or gradient overlay (so it wont make things look to flat)

Transparency

Full RGB color

This could turn into its own light weight launcher with benifits of having the fetures it has now. All it needs is a very simple ipadish homescreen (the light weight part is there is no app/widget joor) and then throw in a feture to open preview windows of all apps open and launcher for easy tasking between 2 or more apps.

Just throwing out ideas this could be another project ;)
[Android Apps and Games] defiant07:
My bad, I apologize and feel like a bit of an ass. Yeah I did not even try to dl it initially, but I did read the description which is the same as the normal one for the lite version in the playstore and that would lead one to believe it is not a full version. But at any rate I did go back and try to dl the beta, but unfortunately playstore said it is not compatible with my device. Thus I cannot test it and you can remove me to make room for others. Sorry again, I won't wast any more of your time, and gl it seems like a promising app that could out perform its competition.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Thanks for the log and image. I have already fixed the empty app from appearing (I had the code to save part of the remove on top of the code to remove). I am working on moving the settings into an activity instead of a window so hopefully that will fix that problem. The one where I think your getting it to crash on demand (Clicking the app multiple times), however is a bit trickier and has to do with the StandOut library focus listener. I can't seem to find what is causing it to crash.

Thanks for the ideas. There is a slight gradient on the colors that are included with the app (perhaps I should mess around with this some more to make it look better). In the Pro version you can set the fav app drawer to any color and any opacity that you want (although if you choose this there isn't a gradient).
[Android Apps and Games] mike253:
Bought the full version, try swiping up from bottom for app drawer and it force closes the whole entire app altogether. I'll continue testing though.
[Android Apps and Games] aayush_neov:
I tried the LITE version, but could only access the recent app . no app switching by swiping from screen edges. ( only vibration is there )

I suggest you to upload a video tutorial of the app working or incorporate step by step instructions in the app.

If some options are disabled in the LITE version, then highlight them. some options are disabled . Upgrade to PRO is constantly flashing when configuring settings.

Unless the free version performs basic functionality satisfactorily ( force closures are acceptables) . I can't think of purchasing the PRO version.

You can include a free version with 24 hour trial. like some developers do ( ex: Next launcher lite , solid explorer (trial) ) etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
The app switching is included in the lite version. Could it be that your at the home screen? There is a bug in the Android system that doesn't always allow apps to be brought to the front when navigating home with the system home button. When in other apps it should work correctly.

The only options disabled in the Lite version are aesthetic and the One Side Mode. The upgrade to pro should only be showing when trying to add more than 7 apps to the fav app drawer and when the settings menu is opened. Everything that is disabled in the Lite version is clearly stated in the app description under the upgrade to pro section.

I have no plans of implementing a free trial of the pro version since most of the options are aesthetic and not functional. I feel doing so would confuse some users when disabled after the trial is over.
[Android Apps and Games] Lumbin:
Looking forward to the update.

This is probably naive but isn't there a way to code this so that the swipe bar won't get in the way unless it detects an actual swipe? That way we could extend the swipe bar all the way down the sides of the screen and increase the sensitivity without making the keyboard unusable.
[Android Apps and Games] gamepois0n:
probably not
[Android Apps and Games] bogdann8:
mine works pretty well... even better than the stock app found on JB (that takes some time to open, probably just a delay set on the home button).

thanks for sharing with all of us :)
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
I don't think there is a way of doing this. And the detection zone doesn't need to be very large. The detection zone just detects the touch not the swipe. I have the sides set to 5dp which doesn't interfere with anything I have since most apps abide by the android design principles which say to have margins on apps of 16dp. The settings menu headers in Kakudo have a margin of 5dp to give you a reference. I have the bottom set to 12dp which is still shouldn't interfere based on the android design guidelines. This is a little smaller than the bottom margin on the android jelly bean keyboard so I don't have interference there either for this you would just have to guesstimate the size as I don't have any design cues in the settings menu for it. I'll try to add a button for default values in one of the next couple updates to help.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
I just posted an update to Kakudo that allows the user some customizations for the recent apps window. You can now set the distance of the long swipe as well as choose between 2 themes.

I haven't been able to update it since the beginning of the month because my laptop died after (7 years of loyal service) and I was only just able to purchase a new one which will hopefully last just as long. Thanks to everyone who supported Kakudo and I am already working to publish more apps that will hopefully find as much success as Kakudo has.
[Android Apps and Games] Twmade:
This feature should come standard in android!
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Hey everyone. Just wanted to thank you all for your continued support of my app and to give an update on everything.

I just recently got a new job that has cut into a lot of my development time. I just ordered a windows 8 tablet so I can bring that to work with me, so I can develop while on the train and during my lunch break and downtime (my laptop was to large and heavy to be commuting with everyday). I recently released an app called Backpack; its a student planner app that was my first app that i coded while learning to code. It still has some bugs and needs some updating but hopefully if your a student it will help you be more productive as it was something I wish I had while still at college.

Currently I am working on completely rewriting Kakudo with some awesome new features. I think I have finally figured out a workaround for the not launching after hitting the home button, but I am still alpha testing this. Other things that I will be putting in are folders, multiple favorite app drawers, hopefully widget support, the ability to choose what a swipe does (open app drawer, switch app, quick launch an app, etc) and an all new GUI for the settings.

Thanks again for the support,

Acela
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Good luck, Dev.

Waiting patiently to see what you come up with. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Finally I have completed the new update. I have renamed the app to Swpies and created a new thread for it here. The app is completely redesigned and adds a lot of new features. Anyone who bought Kakudo Pro can get the free unlock of Swipes. All you have to do is have Kakudo Pro installed on your device and then open Swipes.
[Android Apps and Games] tofumachine:
App drawer fc on me to o.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Thanks for letting me know. I have been trying to figure out what might have been causing this and after hours and taking a break to make my previous post, I think I finally found what might be causing the problem. I'm going to test it for a little to see if I get any other crashes and then will post the update when I wake up in the morning

Thanks to everyone for the feedback
[Android Apps and Games] mike253:
Lol usually a break always helps. Thanks man for replying cause this is a pretty awesome app.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Just published an update for both Pro and Lite that should address some of the issues people were having with the favorite apps drawer.

I can't believe how well this app is doing. Thanks to everyone who has downloaded it and given feedback, this has only made me more motivated to make Kakudo the best app it can possibly be.
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
This app is awesome. For a while I used GMD Gestures but on the phone it was just nonsense and useless. This app is simple and fast, it's pretty great!

It's a shame apps like this can't do swipe between apps like on iOS (iPad) where you see the next app before releasing your finger (and abort the swipe). [I know this just can't be done on Android as far as I know and have read).

However, I guess you couldn't change the animations to horizontal, right? (Probably animations are a system thing? Although I've seen some apps with their own animations, check out Wakelock Detector).

I will test it for a few days and buy it if I actually use it! :)

Bug with Widgetlocker:

Swipe from left will call stock lockscreen (since Widgetlocker opens just after the stock lockscreen and overrides it), and swipe from right will just skip/close Widgetlocker.

PS: Just got a FC messing around with the notification twice. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ruvort:
Actually with root privileges the images of the apps could be very possible. I could show some examples to the dev if he is interested
[Android Apps and Games] G1032:
Delete
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Thanks for the positive feedback. The animations for going through apps I tried to change so it would slide in from which ever side was swiped, unfortunately Android doesn't allow services, which my app is, to overwrite the launch animation of apps. In a regular activity you could change the animation to whatever you wanted with one line of code. I don't have Widgetlocker on my device and don't really know how it works but don't understand why it would behave differently when swiping from different sides. I'll try to learn something about it later tonight.

Was the FC when you clicked on the notification or when you tried to turn it off? I would appreciate it, if you could describe what you may have done so I could try to replicate it and find the problem

Sorry but I have no plans on making my app require any root privileges, thanks for the offer through. I will sometime in the future have a way for the user to see all of their running apps. I just haven't decided whether I should just put them in the favorite apps drawer or create a new window to view them.
[Android Apps and Games] ronniereiff:
+1 would make this app 10x better (2 or three finger swipe in order to not interrupt opened apps maybe)
[Android Apps and Games] ruvort:
Well in case you are interested in looking into it further an example of its use can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2053609 basically it is screenshots of apps when you last saw them. Gives a pretty neat effect if I do say so myself.

I personally think it would make a very elegant touch to your app. Possibly you could have it as an option for rooted users only.

I agree. The look would bring a really nice polish to the app
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
Awesome work. Minutes after trying I had to buy it to support the development . Very cool and worth every cent on the first look . Thanks

Will test it and give feedback soon.
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
How in the world is this app better than GMD?

It is not even worth comparing, GMD is endless possibilities .it can do everything this app can do and thousands of things more in addition. Really don't get it, GMD totally changed the way I use my tablet and phone. I don't see this app being possible to do that. Not bashing this app, I'm sure it does what it can fine but it's pretty basic and limited in comparison

Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
Sounds like bashing to me ... But nevermind this thread is not a comparison thread but rather for helping the Dev with his application. That said...

I'm on the S3 I9300. Switching through apps by sliding seems very slow compared to your video, also loading the apps once I tab on the plus takes a notable time. Still money well spent. :D

I like the capability to toggle Wi-Fi and so on. Is it possible to toggle sound modes as well?
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
In my video I am using a nexus 7 so they may have something to do with it.

Sound toggling will be in the next update I just finished creating the images and just have to put the code in. I will continue to add more toggles in the future as well.
[Android Apps and Games] GerManiac:
Yeah maybe its the sammy sw. Will try it with pure 4.2.2 power to see if it makes a difference.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] 21productionz:
Awesome man, I used the lite version for literally 5 seconds before buying the pro version.

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

Any chance of being able to add folders?

Can it be horizontal on the bottom?

Can you add swipe an icon to produce different operations?

I didn't even know I wanted this, but the ability to have my home page dock "on demand" would be awesome.

I understand if not.
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Folders is definitely something I am going to try and add in the future. Right now I am coding some more toggles and thinking about adding someway of seeing all running apps. I also have to decide what the best way of creating and showing folders would be. I already have a few ideas running in my head just have to see how feasible they are.

Horizontal on the bottom is actually the way I had originally planned to make it, but I wasn't able to get it to scroll horizontally, only vertically. I may go back and try to make a custom adapter to do this but this is a big if because on larger devices it would kind of hurt the single hand capability. With that said I know the more customization the better.

What do you mean swiping an icon to produce a different operation? Not sure I know what you mean by having your "homepage dock" on demand either or is that a statement not a suggestion?
[Android Apps and Games] mutantblack:
Trying the lite right now. I have to give up sidebar, glove box and pie launcher to try this. So far so good. Great app.
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
How Widgetlocker works behind the scene is: when you turn screen off, the stock lockscreen opens (app #1), then WidgetLocker appears (before you can even see the stock lockscreen), so it's app #2. That's why (I guess), swiping from the left in WidgerLocker gets me to stock lockscreen, and I don't know why swiping from the right gets me to the desktop. However, depending on how fast I do things, with left swipe I can even skip stock lockscreen and go to the previous app, and swiping from right can also not just go to homescreen but also next app.

Same thing with premuim/paid version.

Bottom line: with Widgetlocker, this app will still do it's job. I don't really care, because I will rarely swipe from the side in Widgetlocker. :)

And about FC's, I get a lot setting it up. I'll logcat them (I have to study) whenever I can today.

Same here. Paid version allowed me to make it useful (set the trigger zones at the top part) so it doesn't mess up with the keyboard. I don't know how much I will use it, but it's fast and cheap. :D

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. My usage/test of GMD on the phone (in the tablet is a whole different thing) was to swipe between applications. Just for that, it felt like an elephant inside my phone (heavy and slow), so I uninstalled it. This app does just that completely fast and lightly. You are right about the "changed the way I use my tablet and phone". I was talking about a specific characteristic of GMD related to what I need.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] 21productionz:
On my home screen right now if I swipe the phone icon it calls my daughter. But when I press it, it brings up the phone app. (hope that makes sense)

I'm a minimalist home screen kinda person. The only thing on my home screen is my dock with 7 icons. If I could have those accessible from any open app that would be huge.
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
What about GMD is heavy and slow.not even the aokp navbar which has the last sold button system internally switches between apps faster. But it's up to you which you use, will try this app later just for curiosity

[MENTION=5214470]Acela1230[/MENTION]

There is a little strings problem. When there are no open apps, Kakudo shows a "popup" notification saying "There are no open apps" or similar, right? It shows right now n Spanish "Hay aplicaciones abiertas", which means "There are open apps". The correct string would be "No hay aplicaciones abiertas". The first time it was confusing haha. Thanks :)

[MENTION=1201853]nimrodity[/MENTION] I didn't want to start a fight and not the place to talk about that, sorry for bringing that up. They are different things. It was just a personal opinion. Have a good day :)
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
[MENTION=5214470]Acela1230[/MENTION] About that logcat and FC's. I got 4 easily (2 "real": after a "real" FC comes another FC when trying to open it again), here they are (the whole logcat is just for Kakudo, I cut it).

I haven't found a strict pattern to reproduce it, just tapping checkboxes and moving the sliders a few times will FC (although not always). I hope it's useful.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
I found how: uncheck "app drawer" (it has to be checked before entering into Kakudo settings), then without pressing Done, edit "Sensitivity" in Lateral gestures. Boom, FC's.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
Thanks for letting me know. My Spanish professor would be very upset with me for making such a simple, but important error.

Nice I just went in and fixed the problem will be included in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
Actually, the string is "There are no other apps open", which would be "No hay otras aplicaciones abiertas". Sorry for the missing "others" :p.

EDIT: I just saw there are 2 different strings. One for when all are closed, and one (the one with the "other") for when there is just one app open. I though I was crazy and I was seeing "other" just sometimes LOL

:)
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
There are two strings one says no open apps when at the home screen and the other says no other open apps when in an app
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
Yes I noticed just after posting (and edited) :)
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
Apex seems to block Kakudo. I have to swipe, wait for a few seconds, and swipe again, and the next/previous app will suddenly appear. Maybe related to Apex gestures?

I will report with more detail if necessary as soon as I can in the next few days (I'll be out).

:)

Bought it

In all honesty this is the first app that I have ever bought, I bought it because 1. it was 99 cents, 2. it looks like one of the best and runs like the best multi-tasking apps ever. I can't get multi-windows on my skyrocket, but this app is dang close. Thanks for this, keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] Hell-Intimidator:
Anyone noticed any animation cut off when switching to Facebook? When I was switching to other apps, it showed sliding animation, but to Facebook won't. Just wondering.
[Android Apps and Games] gamepois0n:
The swiping seems like having a bit problem with chrome.

Will think about purchase the pro version since it is kinda buggy on my nexus 10
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
The animation is whatever the app sets it to be. Unfortunately Android doesn't allow services (which is what Kakudo is) to override the launch animation

Could you be a little more specific so I can check to see what might be happening. Most of the bugs should be fixed when I release the next update, which is currently being tested.
[Android Apps and Games] gamepois0n:
Try it with chrome browser, interfere with tab switching

Also, just noticed another problem, it hides my keyboard when I hit too far down(space bar) or too much on the side(back space).

Should allow user to change from swiping into buttons(movable)
