[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
The SMS features are in limbo at the moment. There's a library I want to use, but it's GPLv3. Unless I can get them to release it under another license, I can't use it (or alternatively, I'll have to release a separate "module" app for sms functionality). GPLv3 says I have to either open source my entire app or keep an arm's distance from the code.

People and apps should be loaded (and cached) when the background service, which listens for swipes, is run. So it should only be slow immediately after rebooting your phone (or if you just installed the app). If it's not, I've messed up somewhere. :/
[Android Apps and Games] mikaelchen357:
I noticed the lag before and that the menus weren't updating with newly installed apps/removed contacts, so I restarted to update the menus and the slight lag was still present for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Yea, I need to have it update apps/contacts - preferably in the background. I should have time this weekend.
[Android Apps and Games] mikaelchen357:
One more extremely nitpicky thing. This is unimportant to me, but when sound is enabled, the sound for logging out seems cut off a little. It should be the same as when the menu is opened, correct?
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Yea, the animation finishes before the sounds do (and closes the app, cutting off the sound). I think I have a fix. Going to work on the app this weekend (if I dont pass out).
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Alrighty! I got some work done. BETAs are attached.

The app now comes in 2 parts. SAO Launcher, the swipe-anywhere launcher and SAO Launcher SMS Extension, a GPLv3 extension that provides extra SMS functionality if installed (but isn't needed!).

Benefits of having the extension installed:

-Send SMS from inside the app

-Popups when receiving an SMS, letting you reply immediately (this feature is optional)

Without the extension, it tries to launch an SMS app (Like Messaging, Google Voice, etc)

Other bugfixes:

-Popups would let text forever go right. Now the text drops to the next line.

-Contact and App cache is refreshed

-Sound shouldnt cut off anymore

-Ads should jump to the top/bottom of the screen and get out of the way

Todo:

-Move orbs into the overlay (They're currently an app with a semi-transparent background, but Android is lagging when launching it)

-An API for orbs? Would that be interesting? I don't know what this would imply, honestly.

-More customization for orbs and swipes

-Widgets, shortcuts

When I go to reply in the message popup, the new message box shows up and closes instantly.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Could you give me a picture of what holo mod looks like? I'm not sure what it is, sorry.

Oh... So it does. It shall be fixed! Thanks for pointing out the bug
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Fixed the popup. It lets you reply (without closing itself... lol) with O and marks as read if you hit X. You need to update both apks.
[Android Apps and Games] jonytestXD:
Not holo mod its halo The app Opens in window mod like this

Its a funtion in paranoid Android roms

Enviado desde mi LG-P760 usando Tapatalk 4
[Android Apps and Games] mikaelchen357:
When marking it as read or replying, it should dismiss the notification from the status bar drop down since you updated the library, correct?
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Ah! That thing. It couldn't open miniature windows last time I saw it.

Are there any other 3rd party apps that can open an app in a miniaturized window on Paranoid? The API calls might not be public. I'm going to cry if I have to dig through the source code to find out...
[Android Apps and Games] jonytestXD:
The free app bubble launcher Can do it that helps?

Enviado desde mi LG-P760 usando Tapatalk 4
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Erm, theoretically yes. In practice, no. I can't touch Messaging's notifications and Messaging doesn't bother periodically checking if its been marked read or not. You can disable notifications if you go into Messaging's settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Try this apk. It should launch a windowed mode if it's available on the ROM
[Android Apps and Games] jonytestXD:
Works very good thanks budy

Enviado desde mi LG-P760 usando Tapatalk 4
[Android Apps and Games] b1ue:
Awesome you made windowed mode available. Would you consider adding an accessibility service to read all notifications? It might be a good addition... Something else for a rainy day
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
New version pushed to the market! v1.1 is released! (Will take a while to be processed, but its out of my hands now)

Also, an XDA-exclusive promo version has been added to the OP. No ads until Oct 1! Thanks XDA for the support!
[Android Apps and Games] xfullmetal17:
You're doing it wrong, the "Logout" icon is supposed to be blank! :P (Or will the "release" version have it like that?)

Awesome concept! I'm really looking forward to this one!

[Android Apps and Games] rohankumar.112:
This is bloody brilliant. Thank you for creating this and supporting the paranoid android framework. Just a request- would it be possible to create a larger carousel window for the applications list? I feel its a bit too small, just my opinion though.

Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] oldmanz312:
Very nice :D and that log out button ... hahaha

Some minor stuffs though, when I have read my message and replied using the launcher + extension, the notification of a new message remains ... is there anyway to change this?

Also, the SMS extension fails to send a message when start a message, but works well when I reply a message.
[Android Apps and Games] jsmonu:
Thanks.. this is fantastic stuff! :)

Could some future enhancements (from my wishlist) be - Fonts, Sound Volume, Theme/icons customization? :D

Thanks again..
[Android Apps and Games] passlogin:
well its great but it have some bug.

Contact dialing with international style number (+66 for example) the plus sign is not included (+12345 will turn to 12345) so we cant dial the number, same goes for messaging from contacts menu also viewing messages through messages menu.

Second, messages from carrier will displayed as blank.

The suggestion

I cant record video after launching camera from your launcher.

Second, add option to silence sfx on vibrate/silent profile.

Sorry for my bad english.

But this launcher bring back memories.
[Android Apps and Games] vantt1:
It isn't, because there's a logout button. Kirito approves!
[Android Apps and Games] Kurotsuchi:

[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Tap the top orb and go into Options. You can turn off the swipe-ing-ness there.

http://darkblackswords.deviantart.com/art/Sword-Art-Online-Font-342305125

The arrow currently likes to stay in the exact middle. So if I increase the applications list size, the arrow gets off-centered. I'll fix it eventually and when I do, we can have larger carousels.

I can't touch Messaging's notifications. You can turn off notifications from within Messaging, though you might miss a sms. It shouldn't fail to send a new message, but maybe I messed something up. I'll look into it.

Sound Volume is based off Media Volume. So if you increase/decrease that, you'll adjust SAO's sounds. Some other customization is planned (though I haven't come up with how it should work)

I strip the + (and spaces, dashes) to compare it with what's in your contacts. Someone might write 123-456-7890 in their contacts but the system says I got a text from 11234567890. I didn't know people needed the +. I'll fix this.

looks great on my nexus 4.. and works fine :good: well done dude
[Android Apps and Games] O2Blevel:
Great app!!

I do have one small request. Could you enlarge the indicator area. I rather not show the swipe indicator area and I want to launch it from the side. A larger indicator area would make it easier to swipe from the side in portrait mode.
[Android Apps and Games] CODE_WORKX:
Awsome app... works fine n nice...

Thanks:good:
[Android Apps and Games] uchihakurtz:
This looks so freaking cool!!! And it works well on 4.3. It'd be nice if you include an option to change the slide width or height too, keep it up! Android need more anime inspired apps!

Oh and when I click a message then choose a new contact directly or opened the wrong thread, it seems the index is a bit off afterward.

Hi,

If I get the in-app purchase (ad-free) on my Note II, do I still get the ad-free version on my other devices as well?
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Yup, its tied to your Google account. It'll apply to all of your devices.

feature request: would it be possible to add the posibility for some favourite apps next to your control icons? (to access some frequently used apps or contacts a little faster, as on floating toucher app)? thanks for your great work!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Download the attached apk (don't download it from the store).
[Android Apps and Games] bikas:
Done that only, but still seeing the ads.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
You shouldn't be. It's set to consider you "pro" as long as the system time is before Oct 1st. I'll have to look in to it after work, I guess.
[Android Apps and Games] YCx:
Woooooo!

I find this app for a long time,now it's come true!

Thank your dev :laugh:

sorry my poor English.
[Android Apps and Games] dars2:
Love this launcher!!!

This is so awesome!!

could you add support for HALO from paranoid, so the apps can be launched in floating mode?

It supports HALO, or it might be a bug?

I'm running Stock rooted 4.1.2 with the Xposed module XHaloFloatingWindow ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2419287 )

Issues and Feature Reguest

Great app, just took some time to test the app, hopefully this will help in improving the app and will be incorporated into the future release

Critical Issue

swipe area is too small, need to be able to customize the swipe area

Issue

message can not be sent when using the contact bubble

message is not shown as read when already replied through the sao launcher

sao sms plugin is not dismissed when already replied to sms using stock app

Feature Request

custom app beside Map, Phone, and Camera

[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Oh god... The Oct 1st timestamp was in seconds and I was checking against milliseconds... I feel like an idiot. Once I've fixed the reported bugs (hopefully just a day or two), I'll post an updated apk that bumps the ad free version to 2 months. Really sorry.

Edit: Update tonight. The following things have been fixed.

-Sending new messages with sms extension

-Support for international numbers

-Camera opens full camera (for videos, etc)

-XDA Ad free version works

Old Android Version compatability?

Is it possible to run it on my HTC Vision (T-Mo G2) that runs CM 7.2.0? I flashed a build of CM 10.1 just to try it out, and it was beautiful. Only thing was the phone was really slow because of CM 10.1, so I had to switch back to CM7.2, and I liked the SAO Launcher. Xlythe, you mentioned in the original post that it was 4.1+ because of some animations that were used. Would basic functionality still work on an old Android version?
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Lets see...

Animations would be completely gone (Added in 4.0, more features added in 4.1)

Alpha would be completely gone (Added in 4.0)

Preferences would have to be 100% rewritten (Changed in 3.0)

Would need to write special functions to find the screen width/height and to tell me when the orbs show on the screen (Changed in 3.0 and 4.1 respectively)
[Android Apps and Games] ArghArgh200:
... Wow.

... So... too much work for right now? I'm not going to die without it, but it'd be kind of a nice thing to have. Oh well.

EDIT: Forgot to say: "Good work, I'd pay you if I had money." The two days I used it were pretty nice until my G2's digitizer grew a dead zone, then the phone started crashing.

I also have a suggestion, in case I get a faster phone or find a stabler version of Jellybean: Landscape mode. Instead of having it go down the left side of the screen no matter what, have it slide in across the status bar, and have a checkbox or something. Also, if I scrolled a bit too far down from one of the carousels, it would exit the Launcher, as well as in Trebuchet's App Drawer (or whatever holds the list of all the apps), the carousels would fade out above the Apps and Widgets tabs.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Updated the apk. It's 100% ad-free for the next 2 months. I'm really sorry.

There's also bugfixes for sending messages, international numbers, etc. No new features.
[Android Apps and Games] megaorange1:
Is there any way this can mark messages as read?

Sent from HTC One with Xda app
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
I'll let you have more customization over the swipe area soon (Position, height and width, on click, on swipe). Just remember, you cant press anything beneath the swipe area. It's to stop me from keylogging your phone.

Yea, I'm afraid it's too much work to back-port. I'm sorry.

I might steal your idea when I (or, I suppose, if) I redo the orbs.

If you install the extension, you'll get a popup with each sms. Accepting or canceling will both mark it as read. Otherwise, there's no way to do that in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Yokie Andrean:
interest to try but my phone firmware was 2.3.6 :D
[Android Apps and Games] forvrknight:
Just wanted to come in here and say this is awesome. I just finished watching SAO so this was nostalgic :)

Only two suggestions/requests

1. Anyway we can get the ability to change orb position? With the app orb at the bottom the list is short and I have a lot of apps lol.

2. Mms support would be great.

Bonus. Custom orbs?

Anyways good job!
[Android Apps and Games] passlogin:
I liked the sound effects, but could you made it adaptive to the current sound profile (e.g. silence sfx while on vibrate/silent)?
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Going to work on making the list larger, even if it's at the bottom. Currently, the arrow demands to be centered so the list has to shrink when it's close to the top/bottom.

I don't even know how to send a mms xD I guess I could figure it out

I tried, honest. :/ I couldn't find a way to use the notification volume. It's stuck using the media volume.
[Android Apps and Games] ArghArgh200:
Heh, alright. I might re-flash something Jellybean-y (but not that CM10.1 build) to test this new one.
[Android Apps and Games] nightang3l:
is it possible to set the sms module to an app for wifi tablets? like mighty text or other messaging apps?

I would also like to state that the app drawer window for the tablet in landscape is kind of small. I think it would be better for it to be a little bigger.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
It's not possible, as far as I know. The people at SMS Popup wrote 99% of the code, so their FAQ might have some more information.

Going to work on increasing the sizes of the menus, but working on some other features first.
[Android Apps and Games] nightang3l:
Oh okay thanks for the info. And I check nothing seem to relate to mighty text. Mighty text is the only way for me to get my text from my phone to my Nexus 7. If there's no other way the message icon for me is kind of pointless.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
I know sms' from Google Voice show up there (they do on my wifi tablet, at least). I'll add more customizations over time so you can hide and rearrange the orbs.
[Android Apps and Games] vantt1:
Lovely application! I've assigned it to a three finger down gesture using GMD Gesture Control. Too bad I only have two friends that I can show off to because only they know what SAO is :(
[Android Apps and Games] TravisAntonio:
I really like this launcher, it works really well in the Samsung Galaxy S4.

It could be faster to show the menu and also it sometimes tends to fail, maybe in the future you could make it a full launcher just like LMT Launcher.

I will donate as soon as I can because this is the first launcher I really like so much :D, keep it up.

P.D.

'popup on new messages' not work:(
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
v1.2.1 released. Contains the following bugfixes

-dialog box scales down for smaller phones

-dialog box properly scrolls

-opening animation on 4.0 and 4.0.3 is improved

-chinese is only enabled for simplified chinese

-fix an api call for 4.1 that was being called on 4.0

-catch string comparisons (this broke on a japanese phone... somehow... it's native java for havens sake)

Do you have both SAO Launcher and the SMS Extension installed? You should see a checkbox "Display popup when sms received" in Options.
[Android Apps and Games] Samuel_Alva:
Yes,I both installed.

I found this is my phone's problem..My phone seem doesn't support any SMS Popup:(
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Ah, I'm sorry. :(

I didn't write any of that code (nor have your phone), so I'm afraid it'd be impossible for me to debug. If you find SMS Popup ever adds support, send me a PM and I'll definitely update the app.

Can you make SaoLauncherSmsExtension.apk resident ram ?
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
What do you mean by that?

It works with a Broadcast Receiver, so it's only opened when a text message is registered. It shouldn't need to always be in ram.

Because I can used sms popup to work seem need resident ram.
