Hey Nick. Thanks for coming back to me. I am using 1.4.8. It's all pretty odd. Normally you can notice a pattern with things but this just goes randomly.
[Android Apps and Games] nickmartens1980:
Recently someone reported that they experienced the same problems when they changed notification settings in appsi back to default. Can you verify?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dollface54:
I just bought this app and SMS plug-in and I am having the same issue, it has just closed itself several times. A little screen comes up that says Appsi has quit working (or something like that) Also, can someone suggest how to best position the hotspot tab so as to not interfere with either my onscreen keyboard at the bottom or games that require you to touch around the top. If I have it positioned on either left or right at the bottom, there are keys on my keyboard that will not press. I have to keep moving it around. Thank you for any help.

P.S. I would like to be a beta tester. Samsung Galaxy S4 on stock ROM
[Android Apps and Games] :
Follow the link in the info menu of the app.. Click on the links, subscribe to goggle+ group and then you'll receive beta versions through the official play store! (btw, great idea Google!)

[Android Apps and Games] dollface54:
Thank you, I did all of that. I found one good spot of my screen to place the Hotspot and also I am finding that activating the gestures and using a down or upward swipe is much easier than swiping into the screen. It seems to be working very well. I have had no further crashes of the app either.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Good, this might be an evidence that the latest beta has fixed the problem!!

Hi there, thanks for your apps [MENTION=5120083]nickmartens1980[/MENTION]

Just a few suggestion here.

1. It'd be good if you implement app blacklist.

2. Animation. I think the app need a bit more touch on how it's open and close animation.

3. An option to remove header. ;)

Looking forward for further release.
[Android Apps and Games] :
As nick and many others know, I like to try things and give my unrequested opinions and idea about them. Not that I demand or expect to see them realized, but I like to discuss things and try to give my two cents to the development process (that I couldn't help in any other way, since I'm no coder nor developer)

With this in mind, let me add some of my own ideas:

- animation in fact suffers a little from viewing the recent items updating when the bar is opened. I don't think it could be better than this, but maybe having a look at this aspect could be useful. I really like animations though!

- custom icons, as in nova launcher for example. As of now, seeing different icons is confusing, since I use custom ones on the launcher

- option to add shortcuts to the apps plugin (again, as you can do on your launcher)

- this is hard and probably out of the plug in system, so I just write it to discuss about it: someone might probably like the possibility to make their own custom plugin by junctioning, for example, recent apps and contacts, or favourite apps and contacts, or whatever.

Appsi is in the top five apps from August 2013. see http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/09/12/roundup-our-top-five-favorite-new-apps-from-august-2013/ for the full story.
[Android Apps and Games] nickmartens1980:
In Appsi 1.5 general performance has been improved. Now I have more time to focus on the plugins for a while. And new features will include Icon theme support and adding shortcuts to the home tab.

The plugin system is not open, but it is now possible to create Home Plugins. These are single items like DashClock Extensions. It is almost like creating DashClock extensions and there is an open source sample project on github (https://github.com/nickmartens/AppsiHomePlugins).

Hope this helps :)

This is a great app, very useful, can't believe it's free!
[Android Apps and Games] mbze430:
Is there an option to turn off Text completely in the Apps bar? or even turn off the complete list of "All Apps"? I use the side bar more for a "Quick Launch" don't need all that stuff. I like it nice and neat/clean.

Also would be REALLY nice to have individual setting of sidebar width for each tab.
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
I bought Appsi like 20 minutes after finding it, a week or so ago. lol

I have completely ditched all other side bar apps for it. :P Great app.
[Android Apps and Games] AlkaDragos:
Nice app. One thing it bothers me... even if you have advanced gestures turned off, touching and dragging down or up from the hotspot still opens the sidebar. Sometimes affects my scrolling in other apps. Keep up the good work :P
[Android Apps and Games] hocruxx:
nice side bar

I was try every side bar in app store and this is the best i have been use

work on my galaxy 2 (4.2.2)

Great app, would love to use the sidebar mainly for dashclock, but somehow the plugins(battery etc.) Don't get updated...the clock is fine. It's this a known problem?

The new home page is simply fabulous!! Can't wait to see the new upcoming updates too!!!

Just one question:where to find dash clock plug ins? I'm looking in the play store but can find just one or two, probably because I have a 4.1.2 rom and dash clock is only 4.2+ compatible... Any idea? ;)

Note 2 N7100 - Alliance Rom DMA6 - Perseus Kernel
[Android Apps and Games] nickmartens1980:
Well it could definitely be related to this issue: https://code.google.com/p/dashclock/issues/detail?id=562. I ran into it when I first tried to host the DashClock Extensions. They stopped being updated in Appsi or in DashClock. It seemed the DashClock Api does not support extensions being hosted by multiple apps. I'll test with DashClock again to see if I can reproduce it.
[Android Apps and Games] nickmartens1980:
Not yet, I actually wanted to include it in the previous release but after a month of development on 1.5 I wanted to release it so everybody could enjoy all new features. Appsi 1.6 will support that.

Support for this will be added. I only need to know what flag to add to the Intent that's being launched and a proper way to detect presence of the halo module.

No problem. I really liked your guide. A fully functional API would be nice, just hope it doesn't change with android 4.4 again.
[Android Apps and Games] doumer:
Ah, I see...so dashclock hopefully gets an updated api soon :)

This feature went into beta yesterday
[Android Apps and Games] realdealoneal:
Appsi

Anyway to turn off the green arrow?
[Android Apps and Games] jaydee 77:
I'm using appsi with the power pack plugin. Here are some suggestion or improvements i'm missing:

1) Option to change the sequence of the plugins in the sidebar. (e.g. apps - settings - calendar)

2) Option to change the position of a section in a plugin. (e.g. recent apps above favorite apps)

3) Option to kill running apps (with whitelist) with one click in apps plugin

4) Option to clear recent apps list with one click in apps plugin (maybe combined with 3) short click and long click)
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
Hey Nick

This is looking really cool!

Any chance you will release an ULTRA pack to purchase on Google Play, that will include all the future features/plugins you will provide?

I took a look at Contacts, Caller and SMS, and they are similar (but different).

I read that you intend to include updates to functionality in those plugins (as applicable), but I'd much prefer to buy a full suite and not worry that I might have purchased the wrong plugin for what I need now (and in the future).

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
Hey Nick,

Also wondering if you could tell me your plans/roadmap/thoughts on the following:

1. Invisible hotspots (not just transparent).

2. A different colour for each hotspot.

3. A custom (colour picker) for each hotspot.

4. Custom colours for accents/highlights (perhaps even for each screen).

5. Custom/Additional Themes (perhaps even for each screen) - this is probably answered by/similar to item 4.

6. Animations for opening the bar, scroll up/down, searching, loading, etc.

7. Custom Separator/Header/Title bar (Text, colour, font, size, style, justification, etc) for assisting with layout/readability on screens with many widgets/extensions/etc.

(Sorry for the brief summary, my original post bounced, so I had to write this up before I forgot my questions :p)
[Android Apps and Games] Rasa11:
I don't see a green arrow anywhere.

So my guess would be yes.. there is. lol

I have paid version though, so if you don't maybe that has something to do with it?

I don't remember a green arrow though
[Android Apps and Games] jaydee 77:
Green arrow only appears for recents apps (in paid apps plugin only) that are currently running
[Android Apps and Games] realdealoneal:
Appsi

When I "swipe" to open the sidebar, there's a big green arrow.
[Android Apps and Games] jaydee 77:
when you hide the hotspot, you wont see the arrow.
[Android Apps and Games] realdealoneal:

Thanks! That worked.

i purchased "power pack" plugin and now all it says is license check failed, install from reliable source... what to do ? I installed it from GPlay by paying :(
[Android Apps and Games] Mac of York:
Email the dev from Google play.
[Android Apps and Games] nickmartens1980:
That's an annoying in google play. It rarely happens. Just contact me by mail (enlaunch@gmail.com) and I'll send you some instructions to get this fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] nickmartens1980:
The green arrow can be disabled in the new beta version. It will soon be released
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
I have mailed you.. Kindly check it out...
[Android Apps and Games] killall:
Love this app, just two things.

1. Calendar is blank.

2. Can you add the choice of Celsius to weather.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
1. go to calender plugin settings and make sure you have correctly selected the right amount of days to display and select all calenders

2. its already there.. just long click on the weather and a settings icon (wrench) icon will appear on the top of sidebar. click on it and select Celsius from the pop-up window...

I hope it solves both of your problems... :good:

OMG OMG this app is great - I had been using some other sidebar before, but this one beats them all imo!

(I tried out many: Sidebar, Sidebar+, Sidebar Plus, Swapps, Bubble Launcher, etc.)

I got some suggestions / feature requests though which I think could improve it even more:

- Ability to launch apps into a multiwindow for samsung devices that support it AND for halo enabled roms: Ability to launch apps into a floating window. (take a look at bubble launcher - there you can decide whether you want normal or floating window app start by long/short-pressing the app).

- Ability to configure the apps list and add self defined shortcuts (like chosing which activity to launch), or to run scripts etc through shortcuts.

- Ability to "split" recent apps and the normal apps plugin page into two sidebars / plugins so that you can open recent apps and the "app drawer" seperately if wanted. (just as an option off course). The easiest way would be to allow multiple instances of the plugin pages with different settings each. (on one you would just hide all apps and favorites, and on the other you would hide the recent apps - then you have two sidebars for recents and normal apps.) This would also allow to set up multiple favorite lists which leads to my last suggestion:

- Ability to set up more than one "favorite list", to have seperate sidebars/gestures to open different app categories (like: "games", "system tools", "email and browsing" etc etc. - you get the point im sure)

--

This is all not really necessary to be honest but it would improve appsi even more.

These sidebar launchers (especially this one here!) need way more attention! They reallly give a whole new multitasking experience.
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
thats right. i posted the problem and emailed the devs on 2nd oct, and its 17th oct today. also as the dev replied here, it is a common problem reported by many users. so, are they trying to solve that problem once again ? cant they respond to me and tell the generic solution that they give to every one who face this problem ??
[Android Apps and Games] HemRoyd:
I'm going to contact developer, but in case I'm missing something maybe someone here can help.

My phone case is made it such that I need a wider swipe margin on my phone. Also based on the way I handle it, I'm not a big fan of swiping at other locations. Therefore...since I use Nova Launcher Prime, I have created two Nova shortcuts to Appsi panels. One is a shortcut to SMS, edited to allow access to the Call panel on swipe of same shortcut. The second is to the Apps panel, edited to allow access to the Settings panel on swipe of same shortcut. This works great for me, however once I reboot all shortcut settings default to the Home panel and do not stick. Appsi issue or Nova issue? Ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] theCroh:
Is there a way to open apps in a floating window using Xhalofloatingwindow? I heard that this should be possible by long pressing an app but all I get is a menu to check app info and uninstall the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Christiancs1969:
Yes open in floating works fine...I'm using latest beta
[Android Apps and Games] theCroh:
Do I need to enable it from somewhere? I'm on the latest beta and for some reason I only get this by long pressing:
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
yes you have to enable it to get the option to launch the apps in floating mode. there is the way:

appsi apps plugin options (you get it by clicking on the three vertical dots in the apps sidebar) --> enable HALO))) contextual action (tick this checkbox)

and you will get a third option to launch apps in floating window..
[Android Apps and Games] nickmartens1980:
Hi hemroyd, to get bigger hotspots go to hotspots in the main menu then select hotspot width. Now you can set the width.

The second thing with the shortcuts appears to be a bug, I'll look into this
[Android Apps and Games] HemRoyd:
Do you offer beta updates, or is an official update coming soon?
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:

I had some issues but I notice now that the Power Pack plugin opt-in link is bad, that may be what's hosing me up. I opted out of everything, cleared data, uninstalled and rebooted and running latest non-beta releases.

Thanks for reporting that problem. I re-added the link, now it should be fine.

[Android Apps and Games] S.AMU:
Perhaps, you could make appsi compatible with the immersive mode on kitat, because I think that looks not very beautiful: ;)
[Android Apps and Games] zroice:
please add the ability to hide apps from the "all apps" list so that one can get rid of some clutter,

(some apps never need to be started, or very rarely, but actually need to remain on phone to work)
[Android Apps and Games] Valiante:
+1 But to add to that having an option to put the apps into folders would be so helpful
[Android Apps and Games] zroice:
There are more and more sidebars poppin out, but I still like appsi the most

, looks best, runs super smooth (except a small delay at boot time before it gets started..) and can be used as a real replacement for the app drawer, but please lets see some updates =)...

But yea please allow the addition of folders. It could work like this: just switch the sidebar contents to the folder contents if a folder is opened and add a "return" or "back" shortcut to return to the main launcher.

Addition of custom shortcuts to the favorite list (adding activites of apps installed other than the main activity etc.) or at least the normal "shortcuts" the system allows depending. (people can just install an activity shortcut launcher to add the activty behaviour themselves..)

And also very important: (just repeating so it doesnt get lost hehe) Please add the ability to hide app icons from the "all apps" list.

other than that I currently can't think of anything missing. (except maybe more theming options, like setting colors for everything..)
[Android Apps and Games] alexbk66:
+1 on adding folder support

Would be nice to be able to add folder as hotspot
[Android Apps and Games] con100:
So I rooted my Nexus 7 and lost everything. I'm resetting up Appsi and before I had a music player on the home screen. It wasn't a widget that was already on the tablet. I remember it was a plugin. I think someone else here made it and I found it somewhere here on XDA. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
[Android Apps and Games] Jsilver73:
Just stumbled across this and love it instantly, the ability to have widgets from sidebar sold it to me :)

A come off things I'd really like help with:

Is there anyway to disable the dialogue help message at the top of the sidebar, I really prefer stuff clean and minimal

When the top spot is transparent I can still see two very faint lines like a sort of handle, I'd tally like completely transparent if possible

When I yet to set an app for default in list it doesn't stick, and presents same list of apps on next use? Is this a known bug

Again, thank you for this, I hope I'm not coming across all demanding, I really appreciate your work on this :D

me too want to see a hide app/ create folder option in this "almost must have app"

and i notice appsi "die" sometimes when go into landscape mode

pls continue this work.
[Android Apps and Games] nickmartens1980:
Hi all, yes, Appsi is still alive. I just had to take a little break for a while. A few days ago I have started working on a completely renewed version of Appsi. I will not say too much yet, but the most important changes will be:

- Material design

- In app purchases instead of separate plugins. This allows much more freedom for each of the pages and better integration between the plugins.

- Performance improvements

- Folder support

- Proper theming engine

- Grid display

- Weather integration

It will be using the same Appsi engine, with a few upgrades of course.

And most importantly, if you purchased a plugin before, it will unlock the matching feature in the new version.

When it is ready for early access testing I will update this thread again. I expect it to be ready for early testing early october.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is any way to use air view to act as a cursor? I believe on the Galaxy Note when you hover the s pen over the screen a little circle follows the pen around and acts like a mouse cursor. I'd like that functionality but with my finger.

If this was possible we could activate hover menus on websites!

try dolphin browser or ultimate browser project. I use both and I can use air view to hover over menus and stuff fine.
