As opposed to the control center appearing after a swipe is detected, the edge of the window follows the finger up from the bottom, like how the notification window is pulled down, or how the ios control center works

The link for v1.2.6 for 4.3 is broken
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
Nope. Try another browser, it works fine for me.

Or contact XDA moderator.

Also, if someone's interested - I've made option to enable auto-hiding the panel after clicking. It can be tuned individually for each toggle, for example, you want the panel to close after clicking only Wi-Fi and Sound mode, but not after clicking GPS.
[Android Apps and Games] s.c.s.i.:
But the new features are still not available, right? The last version is from August?
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:

Okay. My account was taken down for no particular reason and it's not likely to be restored by Google. Thanks to the dude who flagged my app.

Thanks for using my app, guys. Thanks for your donations and orders. Hope you'll see me again at the Google Play!
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
I'm sorry that happened. Sounds like the work of an apple fanboy. Since when did apple hold a patent on toggles. Thank you for the wonderful work on this great app for us testers/users. Hope the matter can be resolved.

Also, guys, as my AdMob account wasn't banned(knocking on wood), I think about continuing the updates with ads(I'm a living being and I need something to eat). Of course, everyone who paid for the app will receive codes for removing ads, and I will receive payment by PayPal from anyone who is wishing to donate and remove ads.

(or you can over-donate me right now, so I won't need no ads in the future :D).
[Android Apps and Games] s.c.s.i.:
Love the new features in v2. The only thing I would want to change, is to speed up the appear/disappear animation a bit, make it a bit snappier. Also, after the panel is closed, there is a slight delay untill the rest of the display starts undimming. This was not the case in the previous version.

Other than this nitpicking, I'm really happy with the application. Everything works and looks great! Thanks so much!
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
You can change the animation speed in ACC Settings.

Check out the new version.
[Android Apps and Games] rajeshwar.singh.maini:

Brilliant work!
[Android Apps and Games] b1ue:
Keep up the great work doctor. Hope to see development continue, as I can say this has become one of the most important apps on my phone. Glad you decided to opt for Android! Pardon my French, but Apples are $#!+:)
[Android Apps and Games] ermacwins:
Is it possible to have audio seek bar like ios7?
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
No, it's not possible. As for now, it's totally not possible - there's an interface for this since Android 4.3, but no player implemented it.

Well...

Looks like I got my account back after all. Just got my Google Wallet hold removed. And my Google Play Developer account is back again.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
I finally managed to reinstate my account. That is awesome. However, I decided to rename my application to avoid legal issues. Now it is Quick Control Panel.
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
Awesome! Glad you got the account restored. Now Microsoft will come after you for Control Panel. Seriously, Control Center is exclusive to Apple?

Beamed from my GS III via Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
Well, Control Center isn't exclusive, but the name+visual similarity may startle Apple. And "Android" was removed from title as we can't call products like "Android Something", we should rather call them "Something for Android".

I'm starting a poll to determine new name for application.
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
Here are a couple name suggestions to include in the poll. I'm not creative with names :)

Quick/Slide Access Panel

Quick/Slide Action Center

On a side note, if Google/Apple is going to make a hard time on this, they should be focusing on Espier Launcher and its related plugins. Exact replica of iOS.

Beamed from my GS III via Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
Yes, I thought so too.

But its's better to be safe, I don't want to lose my account again :eek:

However, after all, I think that the reason for my account blocking was because of AdMob. Because the sequence was like this:

Created app with ads -> clicked on the ad to see if it's working -> got an account termination e-mail.

The Universe must have punished me for being greedy :D

Settings keeps FCing

The settings app in v14 2.0.1 apk keeps force closing. I'm running stock 4.1.2 on Note 2 GT-7100, never rooted.

Any ways I could help you to fix it and continue using this perfect app?
[Android Apps and Games] Atamagaokashii:
^ +1

My acc settings app force closes too. V18 2.0.1 on vzw gs3 with cm 10.2 unofficial.
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
It's a nice idea, but doesn't work on Galaxy S3 (d2usc). I'm running purely stock, no root, Android 4.1.2 with TouchWiz. This was with the v14 build (as you said 4.2.2 or lower) 2.01 version.

To clarify, the control center itself opens and everything seems to work, but the settings app force closes every time.

Great idea and I don't mind if it copies iOS. iOS copied Android, so it's still an Android thing, just another company's interpretation of Android, IMO.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
I know that. It's my fault, I kinda f***ed it up. There is working version on Google Play, but version here contains bug with settings. I hope tomorrow I'll be able to fix that.
[Android Apps and Games] LoopinFool:
I, too, could not run version 2.0.1 on my stock Galaxy S3. Version 2.0 works pretty well for me.

I have two issues which may already be fixed in 2.0.1 but I'll post them here in case they still exist:

While the panel is displayed it keeps my screen on forever. This has proven to be a real battery issue when I forget to hit the power button or it doesn't blank the screen for some reason. It could also be a burn-in concern with the high-contrast controls always in the same place. I didn't see a setting to control this behavior.

I don't see the current playback position (time) when using my favorite podcast player (AntennaPod). I do sometimes see the title info but other times I get "Unknown - Unknown". I always see "0:00" below the play/pause button.

Thanks for this handy tool,

- LoopinFool
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
In new version I think I'll add the control for always-on state.

There is NO current position indicator. It's a length of current song.

Or did you already fix it and im doing something wrong ?

( Ok v2.0 works out anyways )

i was able to close it with the "Back" Button
[Android Apps and Games] SavedByGrace:
I'm getting fc on mine when trying to open the settings. Opening the actual toggle works fine but unfortunately I can't change the toggle... I'm not rooted yet btw.

Edit: I check back a few posts and saw you already know of the problem. Thanks for your hard work =]

Hi, your app it's great, i have a problem I have updated my HTC One GPE to 4.4 and now i can't see the name of the songs only show me "unknown, unknown" before with 4.3 I did. Could you fix it? Thanks

Enviado desde mi HTC One mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Strat-Mangler:
Hi, Dr.Alexander_Breen!

Thanks a bunch for your hard work. I really enjoy your app, but I do experience an issue that I've seen since version 1.26 that I would hope would get fixed.

Pressing on the GPS icon brings me to the GPS menu asking me whether I want to use satellites every time, instead of just turning it on.

FWIW, I'm using a Samsung S3 with Android 4.1.1 and am using the proper version of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
I have a bad news, guys :crying:

I've messed my codebase beyond recognition up to nearly unrecoverable state. Currently it's nearly impossible to add new features, so...that probably means that this app stays at 2.0.1.

I, however, started developing a new project which will (probably) replace current one.

Definetely, not all the features will be implemented.

So, please, leave a post here with features you love and use the most.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
Bummer, thanks for the hard work. Excited for the next project. If you create a new thread for the new project don't forget to post a link in this thread so we all know about it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Strat-Mangler:
Really? Ouch!

I'm really sorry to hear that. I can't begin to imagine how you feel... Having said that, wasn't the source code saved somewhere?

In any case, I love the app you created but again, the two things that annoyed me were ;

1) Needing to slide left once the app is up to get access to the next series of shortcuts. I prefer sliding right like is the case with other apps.

2) Enabling GPS always brought me to the GPS Settings menu instead of simply turning it on.

Beyond that, I'd recommend using a different color than white to indicate that a function is on. I much prefer the light grey/green combo for off/on visual cues.

Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us. :)
[Android Apps and Games] saddambea:
That´s some really bad news. :(

But can you only release a new version with the "force close" problem in settings fixed?

I´m using 2.0.1 in a Razr D3 and a stock 4.1.2.

Thanks for the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
No, the source code is totally safe. The backups are at my home desktop, at Google Drive and my laptop.

However, in terms of adding new features it is totally impossible, as the code is a complete mess. I mean, seriously.

For example, adding new settings is an unimaginable pain - I have to go through all of the fragments, mess with onPreferenceChange listeners.

Or, like, adding new button. Going through all the settings, then go through like 1000-line OnClickListener, then go add this button in another 10 non-null checks in main code. My main Service code is exactly 3670 lines long. Imagine maintaining that monster. And don't get me started about optimization!

Somehow, this Frankenstein worked, and worked really good!

So, in order to reduce memory usage, improve performance, and improve MY performance(right now I'm trying to carefully plan out the code instead of "hey let's just code, it'll somehow be ok") I'm rewriting this monster from the scratch. I'll try to keep your favourite features, but design will be a bit different. Think of it like a mix of Google Now and Apple's Control Center.

The thing that was decisive in my decision(lol) is the follow-the-finger panel appearance. When I've tried to add it, I understood how messed up the code was.

Of course, don't except me to get you a free version of my new app. You bought it once, you'll buy it again, so I'll be able to get myself a new iPad :victory:

Just joking, of course. Either I will replace the current app in Google Play(which is reasonable, as it has you guys as a clients, and it pops up in sections like Also Installed), or I will update previous app with some kind of code to enter in free version of new app to unlock full...but it's another mess, another headache for me and you, so I think I'll stick to first variant. I love money(who doesn't? :D), but I'd better have a small but loyal group of people who love my app. I don't want anybody saying "Oh, curse that Woodblock! Making us pay twice for the same app, eh?".

Right now I did not progressed really far.

The things that are ready is the smooth swipe movement.

And some abstract classes for buttons.

So, maybe in a month or so(because thankfully some classes were written were good, so I can reuse them + I've gained some experience in Java) I'll finish this version.

Thank you, guys!
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
OK, guys, as soon as I get new version running with at least SOMETHING, I will upload the pre-alpha version.

And here is the first clip with the program. Sure, now it's nothing, but I'll be uploading new clips.

A bit of new video:

[YOUTUBE]2PWN2wOko2c[/YOUTUBE]
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
Okay, here's the new videya:

-Added different swipe direction

-Added different swipe detector alignment

Finally, I've finished meddling with base functions the swipe detector. Now I need to implement settings for lockscreen(enable/disable swipe detection on lockscreen), and then I can start filling the panel with content.

Here is the basic order of functions that will be added in the nearby future:

1) Toggles(with settings and other things).

2) Color settings.

3) Music controller

After that I'll release first public prototypre version to test for bugs.

Ah yeah, the videa!

Settings getting FC's for me .. Nexus 5 4.4.2 ART runtime ..
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
New on version 3.0:

Swipe detector setting and implementation finished. Finally, it will react to your finger movement smoothly, not like in previous version.

Now I'm working on toggles, and right after I'll implement toggles settings and the toggles itself, I'll upload APK for your testing.

Support for external icons is implemented already.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
Okay, here is the first milestone. All toggles finished and working. Of course, it's not everyday use version, as it has virtually nothing other than toggles - it's just to test it on your phones to see if I messed up anywhere(but I hope it's working fine, as on my Nexus 4).
[Android Apps and Games] b1ue:
Currently the toggles are not centered in the panel, and the rightmost toggle gets clipped a bit. Will take a screen shortly..

Also, after adjusting the swipe detector alignment from any direction to another, the previously set swipe area remains. Also experiencing a similar bug when adjusting the width and height of the swipe area.

All on a Galaxy Note 2 running 4.4.2
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
Apparently, "shortly" can be very flexible period of time :)

Thanks for reporting. Will try to see why are they glitching up.

UPD: Phew, finished ordering and enabling/disabling of specific toggles.

Couldn't upload it to xda from mobile for some reason... Sorry that took so long:)

Edit: Will take some screens of the trigger area bug later if you'd like to see them...

And on another note... The animation and scrolling are very smooth:)

Well, somehow URL is not valid. It also may be my internet provider effing up, so could you please send it to my E-mail?

wryyy906@gmail.com

Also, thanks for not on animation :) I'm so glad I finally made it smooth.

And good news - I finished toggles and coloring. Both now are much more user friendly and more clear-looking.

Finally I have a feeling that my app is stable. With previous version I felt like it's gonna crash any second(because I knew how finicky my code was). Of course, here's new milestone build.
[Android Apps and Games] jamespat93:
Any update on the new version you're making? Your current version is perfect for me, except that I can't pause my music (on 4.4 KitKat).
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
Update is coming. Can't tell you exact date, sorry, but the only things left to do are shortcuts and music controls.

Toggles are finished and info section is finished too.

Here is the milestone build.

New things:

-Swipe detector offset

-Half-baked landscape mode.

-Seekbars - sortable and disableable

-Auto-brightness toggle

-Vibration on panel opening

-Seekbars in settings now indicate their current value

-Background for toggle panel

-Changed the way toggles react to touch - now they won't be highlighted when you scroll them + instead of changing color of toggle and it's border like in iOS7(I realized it only now when I bought an iPad :D) they do it more "Android"ish - they change the color of background.

-Fixed some bugs

-The whole info panel with current date, time, and charge - sortable an disableable.

The things I am going to do later are(in order of work):

-Shortcuts panel

-Music panel

-Panels sorting

-External icons loader
[Android Apps and Games] allenxjq:
firstly, thanks for your great work.

But I have a question. When I use the milestone 3 version, the swape detection area is always red, it looks not good, is there an option, that allows me to make the detection area transparent? Or this milestone version doesn't support this function?

THX
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
It is used to easily spot if there is some bug in swipe detection area placement. It, of course, will be removed in final version, or even in next milestone build if there will be no bugs spotted.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
Also, I am finishing the universal library for music control to work across all devices with Android 4.0+.

So, instead of shortcuts I will implement music controls first. Stay tuned!
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
New build.

Music controls included, buy are not tested very well.

Also, if music position is wrong after switching position - blame Google, not me. The API call for music position is not perfect and sometimes may return wrong values. The same sometimes happens even on Lockscreen.

Also, the color picker now can use text input.
[Android Apps and Games] V4lve:
0 bytes :(
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
Try another browser.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
New build with fixed bug in color picker and added mechanism for selecting shortcuts. Now you can add as many as you want.

To remove shortcut - swipe it.
[Android Apps and Games] b1ue:
Latest version is nice. Smooth as silk and music controls are working great (did notice the position bug... but it wasn't frequent). All that's needed (for me)is a transparent option for the swipe detector:)

Kudos...would buy this one again
[Android Apps and Games] allenxjq:
"a transparent option for the swipe detector" I think we all need this one.

New thingies:

-Shortcuts

-Panels sorting

-Little layout adjustments.

-Invisible swipe detector.
[Android Apps and Games] sicHiRsch:
Great mate! The only thing I liked better on the old version was that when you have music and shortcuts turned off the panel would only swipe up over half the screen. This version swipes up all the way to the top with a big white empty space underneath.

Ah also, could you integrate the function that the panel disappears by itself when you click a toggle?

The app itself runs incredibly smooth, thanks heaps!

[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks for the awesome work.

One bug I've noticed - media controls don't work properly with Shuttle+ player. The play button plays music - but doesn't turn to a pause key and therefore refuses to shut the music off - and the metadata doesn't get loaded. Artist names, track names, time elapsed don't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
Hi. Is shuffle+ can be controlled from lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yes. Its lock screen works flawlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
Then I have two questions.

1) Does it use it's own lockscreen, or it uses default Android one?

2) Can you give me a link to this app in Google Play?
[Android Apps and Games] :
It uses Google's native lockscreen.

There's 2 versions of the player; I use the paid one, Shuttle+.

And here is the free version.

Also, would it be possible for you to make the app seem more notification-drawer like? In that when you pull the panel up, it reacts to your finger placement like the default iOS one, or how Android's notification panel slides down. I don't like having to swipe up and wait a second for it to come up. Or is this because I've configured it to replace the Google Now gesture?
