Alright, this apk will probably be what's in the release. The big 2.0. (The only remaining change being the icons for System and Upgrade in the Settings orb).

-Public API for Themes & Extensions (Found here and here)

-Orbs can be enabled / disabled, and reordered

-Language can be changed on the fly

-Logout removed

-Bugfixes w/ the sms extension notifications (and w/ popups replacing what you were typing)

-Missing translations added - all supported languages should be up to date now

What's new (from last beta)

-Reordering orbs has a larger drag area

-Logout removed

-Bugfixes w/ the sms extension notifications (and w/ popups replacing what you were typing)

-Missing translations added - all supported languages should be up to date now

What's still in the works

-An official theme (may or may not be released w/ the release)
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
2.0 released. New apk and theme in the description.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
2.0.1 - Lag fix
[Android Apps and Games] b1ue:
Latest version still lags pretty heavy for me on Galaxy Note 3. Stock rooted 4.3. Can provide a log if necessary

Edit: version 2.0.2 is as fast as ever.. Enjoy your vacation:)
[Android Apps and Games] mikaelchen357:
When I disable the orbs under the messaging orb that are normally underneath it, the conversation containing the latest message disappears.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
2.0.3 released. Should be the last one (for at very least this week). It fixes the remaining bugs that got reported.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
2.1 beta is up! There's now a store!

Changelog:

-Under the settings orb, you'll find a new menu for Store. The plan is for all themes / extensions, 1st or 3rd party, to be listed here (to be easy to find). Submit yours now!

-Minor speed improvements

-Theme tutorial enhanced (clearer walkthrough, updated demo that shows off themed sounds, contains all possible themeable images)

-Japanese and Turkish translations

What's left:

The store text isn't translated yet

The store needs a server (to check price, so I can add themes / extensions without pushing an update, etc). All hardcoded right now...

Needs more themes & extensions! Gah! Looks boring with just 1 of each...
[Android Apps and Games] mikaelchen357:
It won't let me install over...says there are conflicting signatures.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
If you installed from the store or the OP, you'll have to uninstall first. I use different keys for the two branches (beta vs production).
[Android Apps and Games] manodigo:
First off, congrats for this AMAZING launcher, you did very well.

As i saw here, people asked you about making a whole SAO Launcher. Well i can give you something close to it. There's a launcher called Buzz Launcher, this launcher has a comunity system in which everyone can create themes/homepages/buttons and upload there. At this time i'm using a SAO theme, it came along with SAO Widget app and you can see the screenshots here:

First one it's my homepage, second one it's basically just to fill the wallpaper (since it has two sides) and for my wife (she uses my Samsung Galaxy Note 1 too). The icons you see in the second page are in fact folders. The third screen it's Buzz Launcher mixed with your launcher, what do you think? Cool isnt it? If anyone ever wants this homepage of Buzz i can teach you how-to-do.

Also as you can see i still have ADS because i have no international credit card to buy the ADS remover (i'm from brazil), oh well guess ill have to wait till i get one.

Also Dev, i have some questions for you;

*First off, if i ever manage some way to buy the PRO version, i will have it forever? Like even if i uninstall it and ****?

*Seems that you put in and took off LOGOUT many times, well even if the button does nothing, it is no harm to have it there, you know just to make it feel realistic? :laugh:

*I also have some little bugs like my Phone Number doesnt appear in the Profile Screen, and some other stuff i cant remember now but ill give you a feedback.

Sorry for the long post, and congratulations again OP, your awesome :)
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Yup. Buy it once, have it forever. Its tied to your Google account.

I only took out logout once, recently, in 2.0. It was too much of a support hassle. And hey, how's it realistic? The logout button lasted like 5 minutes in the anime xD

Not sure why your phone number doesn't appear. Dual sim cards or something? Its weird none the less.
[Android Apps and Games] manodigo:
Well, if you take to this side it's a really poetry thing. We are tied in this ****ty world and we can't LOGOUT, having to live our problems, and try to survive u.u

But seriously now, i have a Samsung Galaxy Note 1. It's not dual sim, so probably must be another thing.

Oh, something else i'd like to ask, someone on this thread posted a project similar to this one, but a PC version. It is really customizable and let you change Main Buttons, sub-buttons, names, add some buttons and even delete some. You could think about it, customizations are always good, if wasnt we probably wouldnt have SAO Launcher :p
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Hmm, maybe your device is considered a tablet? I should really hide that field if I can't detect the phone number.

As for customization, in options you can hide/rearrange orbs. And there's themeing support (change all the images, sounds, fonts, colors, etc) and extension support (code custom orbs that anyone can install).
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
'Nuther beta

Changelog:

-Hide phone number option if I cant detect it

-Persistent notification to keep the app in memory better

-Choose left, right, or (the default) both for swiping

-Sound volumes lowered
[Android Apps and Games] putr4s:
Just a suggestion:

I think it would be nice if you can add a backup/restore settings feature, so I won't have to set everything up again just for trying out a new beta version. Also, maybe you could add an option to input the phone number ourselves.

By the way, latest beta working perfectly so far on my Tab 2 7inch on Android 4.4 unofficial.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Changelog:

Store hits a server now

Option to turn off persistent notification

Option to opt out of analytics

Bugfixes w/ extension support

Dialer extension (for calling numbers) added - I'll write up a tutorial for this soon-ish

------

backup/restore - The Official Way requires you to sign in with your Google+ account. I could write it manually, but it's a pain... People would probably get annoyed with a prompt to select a G+ acc as soon as they install the app.
[Android Apps and Games] pandasa123:
Beaters. All of us :)

Nice job dev
[Android Apps and Games] putr4s:
The dialer couldn't do USSD (like *889# for example), it treats the number like a normal phone number, so it simply results in a 'call ended' screen. Also, the KitKat theme doesn't theme the dialer orb yet.
[Android Apps and Games] Bbakes2012:
This is amazing. Only issue is the messages function gets messed up after checking initial texts. Plus doesnt always show most recent. Ill click a contact that i had a convo with then go back and do the same again and the same contact will be different. Ex. Mariah > message then back Mariah > shady's message
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Hmm, hadn't even thought of USSDs. I don't think I'll support them (for now) since I don't actually have any dialer logic in the extension - I just pass the number to the native app.

Eek, you're right, gotta update the KitKat theme too - thanks for the catch.

Weird, messages seem pretty consistent for me. Do you know what OS you have? (TouchWiz, AOSP, CyanogenMod, etc)

--------------

This apk should make things a bit faster. Please point out anything you think still feels slow (as well as general bugs, of course). Still a 2.1 beta.
[Android Apps and Games] Bbakes2012:
using TouchWiz TBS4
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Mind testing this apk? I sort the text messages on date

Edit: bugfix
[Android Apps and Games] Bbakes2012:
Tried new apk and still same heres what happens in pic order:

Open messages and select mariah, messages come up just fine. Select Dena from that screen and it shows shady instead.
[Android Apps and Games] Bbakes2012:
Edit* posted sequential pics and only came out one. Yay xda premium lol xD
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Ah, no, not a bug. It resets when you touch it again, to remove the extra rows it added to the top/bottom to make it look like it scrolled infinitely. I should eventually actually make an infinite scroll, but not a bug. Scroll first then tap.
[Android Apps and Games] Bbakes2012:
Ballin thanks. Love the app so far. Hit me up if you want stuff tested (just in case you do)
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Mind testing this? Added infinite scrolling.

Also, if anyone has halo, this has an option to enable/disable it for the apps and shortcuts. If you don't have halo, you shouldn't see the option.
[Android Apps and Games] Bbakes2012:
Works like a dream brotha. Bug is gone. This is legit man. Even the texts have infinite scrolling though lol but its not a big deal
[Android Apps and Games] Bbakes2012:
Edit* issue, background is meshing with text see pic
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
2.1 is released

Changelog:

-Store for themes and extensions (+2 new themes, 2 new extensions)

-Speed improvements for launching the app

-Persistent notification (can be disabled)

-Japanese, Turkish, Italian, and Spanish support added

-Choose a side for the swipe indicators (left vs right vs both)

-Infinite scrolling lists

-Bugfixes, tweaks, refinements, etc
[Android Apps and Games] Bbakes2012:
Still having the same problem with texts as posted with the pic above. Background meshes with the text box. Also donated :) lol
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Make sure to update the theme + app, then force stop SAO
[Android Apps and Games] Bbakes2012:
Now im getting a ClassNotFoundException on the dialer extension other than that its fixed
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Did it used to work? It seems a lot of people get that error (but I dont! Its driving me insane)

Edit: I found the problem X.x Play Store is encrypting the app because it's a paid app... And it won't let me disable the drm. I'm working on rewriting the extension api to get around this. If the rewrite doesn't work, then I'll have to make the extensions free w/ an in app purchase to activate
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
v2.1.2 is up (Or will be soon. It's been pushed).

Adds German support, fixes some bugs. Both extensions are ver 1.1 now and require an in app purchase to activate (If you already paid, you should have been refunded).
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
50% off on Pro!

Waiting for everyone to wake up so I can open presents :(
[Android Apps and Games] Rvki:
Just purchased pro, hope you continue to refine this amazing app!
[Android Apps and Games] DayanGts7500:
its a great app. thnks for building such an amazing thing. anyway are there other anime apps that you have developed.
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Thanks. Haven't made any other anime-inspired apps, though I've considered some (Deathnote note-taking app? Or that Maid AI in The Pet Girl of Sakurasou?). Anything you think would be cool to port?
[Android Apps and Games] Bbakes2012:
Any more ideas with this one? Oh and just to throw it out there but a .hack app would be great as well. Gotta give props to the original lol
[Android Apps and Games] DayanGts7500:
both would be cool .
[Android Apps and Games] mikaelchen357:
I'm not getting a sound when I receive a message, was that taken out? Also, when I first open the menu and click on maps, the opened menu doesn't show anything until I click a different menu and go back to the maps.
[Android Apps and Games] Bbakes2012:
Dead thread?
[Android Apps and Games] Mort432:
Nice

Using it now on my Nexus 7, lovely bit of software.

Emailed the dev, replied quickly but I had found a solution by then.

Only things I'd like to see:

1. App Drawer button

2. Home button

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] Mort432:
Just threw this together, thought it was relevant considering it uses this app as the centerpiece.

A collection of apps that replication the interface from SAO.

[YOUTUBE]RONVh5QVt_8[/YOUTUBE]

Enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] kyousuke68:
nice launcher

it's a really nice launcher you have there :)

just three little bugs i've found while playing with it.

first when you double tap any of the swype zones the laucher appear in a really weird way and do looping XD.

second when i tap the upgrade button and go back it open one of my last opened app and close it XD.

and the last but not the least, when starting a new conversation, the conversation doesn't appear on the chat orb.

but it's ****ing awesome to have a SAO launcher on my phone :silly:

oh pardon my french for the ****ing... ah I forgot, I'm french XD

otherwise for improvement you could make the nav bar and the statut bar translucent kitkat style but more dark like the rest of your launcher's background so that kitkat and JB users will have a full screen on home page and fullscreen app, and also if you could make it possible to disable the infinite scroll on message, because I don't know anymore where are my last message after scrolling.

anyway keep up the good work man, you rock.
[Android Apps and Games] Trekeyus:
Amazing launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Vesnyx:
Very nice job on the launcher! I can't wait to see what other improvements can be made on it in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] bePig:
The only thing that bothers me about this app is the ad placement :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] DayanGts7500:
yup that would be. cool. inform me ok. if you do . and you can also try naruto .
[Android Apps and Games] v00m3r:
this app is amazing. thank you. and why i cant receive pop up on new messages and also no notification when message receive. i already installed the sms plugins. and also. when i check my default messaging the already send messages is showing still sending.
[Android Apps and Games] RazerKnight17:
Can someone link me the newest/lastest version please?
[Android Apps and Games] wwwong:
Here you are: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xlythe.saolauncher
[Android Apps and Games] zombiegristle:
Love this launcher! Is there any chance for an option to launch the menu orbs (preferably on the left of the screen) by swiping down in the middle of the screen rather than the top or sides?

Also, is there any way to purchase the ad-free version without Google, I don't have an account and use Android "google-free"...
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Updated the apks, finally. I'm really bad at this.

v2.3.1 is for Android 2.3, which is no longer getting updates

v2.6.1 is for Android 4.0+

The latest version lets you drag the swipe box around and place it wherever you want. However, it still hugs the walls because you can't press underneath it.

And sure, if you still want to buy the app, email me at xlythe@gmail.com. PayPal's the typical method for people who don't want to use Google.
[Android Apps and Games] wilzard:
Cool launcher based on a great anime. Thanks for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] astrosplatt:
Just got done watching season 1 of SAO and saw this as a new launcher in G+. Very cool design and idea sir. Well done.
[Android Apps and Games] astrosplatt:
Do we have to have the paid version to get the ram and SD card numbers to show or is this a bug of some sort? Just noticed this. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Luna-Kunai:
For some reason, when trying to get the SMS extension, it doesn't show up in Google Play. Could it be because I am in Canada?
[Android Apps and Games] R3D X:
Haha this is crazy! I loved this anime when it was on! Very interesting launcher mate
[Android Apps and Games] astrosplatt:
This might help.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...r+apk&pcampaignid=APPU_oqYzVNq-BMn68QHjz4H4Dw
[Android Apps and Games] Luna-Kunai:
Thank you! Turns out, I was using the APK version from the forums. That might have been why.
[Android Apps and Games] astrosplatt:
No prob. Glad I could help.
[Android Apps and Games] arusiasotto:
I rather like this launcher, and will probably be paying for it tonight. What I wish though is that it was my actual launcher. At the moment I have to use Nova Launcher to hide the launcher and use this one. In addition there is no MMS support. I could probably ignore this if there was an app that would let me receive or send MMS messages without having to change my default messaging app from SAO. If anyone knows of one that can do this, I am all ears.
[Android Apps and Games] Jadaman:
Cool!
[Android Apps and Games] Shihiroki:
Its only 4 icons

the icon of message is missing... its only 4 icon appearing... settings,contacts,character,menu..... :( what should i do to this problem or there's a bug on it?
[Android Apps and Games] astrosplatt:
Go to settings>options>order and visibility. Should be in there. If not then just download the SMS extension from the playstore.
[Android Apps and Games] arusiasotto:
It only appears if you have SMS enabled under settings.

Another oddity, sometimes SAO launcher hides Facebook chatheads.
[Android Apps and Games] D4NI3L_B:
MMS?

Question:

Is MMS a feature and I'm just beimg blind, or is there no MMS option?

If not, pretty please add one?
[Android Apps and Games] EntropicChaos:
Curious, is there or will there be possible Hangouts comparability with this? I have been watching this launcher since you released it and have just been waiting till more features have been implemented before I actually buy and install it. It looks really nice, minimalistic, and innovative which I like.

I would really appreciate some insight on this. Thanks a bunch. :)
[Android Apps and Games] chacho_2me:
was just looking for anything about sword art online on android and really love this dude..thank you so much..i know this is sudden..but can i have a feature request so that i would not have double thoughts on buying? take your time though dude

1. possible merge messages of different numbers of same contact (this is the only feature why i love hangouts)

2. unread messages would be great

3.or atleast make SAO SMS LAUNCHER as an SMS VIEWER?

i think thats all... i am planning to do this by tasker..but i think i dont have the brains and imagination like yours :D

or atleast openning the message would lead me to an sms application (hahahaha :D)

still i will be installing this for now :D
[Android Apps and Games] EntropicChaos:
I agree with the above stated, this is exactly what I want to see and then I will buy it no questions asked.
[Android Apps and Games] Rekkfist:
Brilliant

Have just found this launcher, little bit slow on the uptake on my part.

I must say that it is brilliant.

I would like to know if there is the option to send a new sms, if so I have missed something as it appears that I only have reply option, or if it can be included?

Other than that awesome app keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] Aitrus:
i just found this and im loving it! but has this project been abandoned?
[Android Apps and Games] endles97:
Saw a guy on YouTube toying with Occulus and Leap, showing a Sword Art Online-like menu. Searhed for SWO and found this, it looks really nice!
[Android Apps and Games] Puspen Rath:
Please make the luncher totally bug free.
[Android Apps and Games] phannhanhhayai:
If you add the button kill the application or too :)
[Android Apps and Games] Azzn9:
Xlythe, please let us have the source code so we can continue to developp the app by ourself :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] KSlith:
Release the code, or put up a new patch, or just say hello and let us know what's going on. Please? Its been as much as 3 years since anyone has heard about this or from you for that matter. The world NEEDS this, it just doesn't know it yet. If you have to, branch out of it just being "SAO" to avoid copyright nonsense, not like there is much they CAN claim to begin with.
[Android Apps and Games] Oscarm99:
Hei! What are the changes between the original 2.6.x version and the actual 4.0 beta on the Google play store?

---------- Post added at 02:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------

BTW any news on branching or releasing the source? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] SilentDenizen:
Please add an app on here for sms extension. Also, if possible, work on mms in it s well. I absolutely loved the sms extension.
[Android Apps and Games] Taiyo1404:
Hey

I have problems regarding the launcher

The app just doesn't open...

I have POCO F1 on Android Pie

Although this works on my old tablet running on Android jellybean

Please help

Update: the app opens but the swipe gesture does not work for bringing up the launcher
[Android Apps and Games] Sinistersiren:
X.x why is this gone from app store

Hai! Just wondering what happened. I posted I a video on tiktok and people want to download. I have used y’all app for a long time and wanted to share it. I’m glad there was this dev apk but you can’t upgrade the app or anything and I totally love it and would pay for the paid version.
[Android Apps and Games] Cinonpk:
I love the app! Unfortunately I cannot get the SMS extension to work and also the music extension.. I paid for the music but it wont pop up and then I cannot find a way to download the SMS one. As well as I'm unable to upgrade my version
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
Unfortunately, Bandai Namco started cracking down on anything using their branding and its likeness. They took some liberties on things that weren't necessarily copyright materials, too. Google Play, which is run by a company that prefers being too safe over having any liability at all, removed a lot of apps that Bandai Namco didn't authorize simply to avoid having to review the legitimacy of the claims.
[Android Apps and Games] Marco Lomas:
With the last test apk works good :), what about making it a full launcher? Using the Ui of status player of sao (the menus of player stadistics) :D will be soooo awesome that i have a lot of friends trying to purchas it right away :)

Enviado desde mi XT890 usando Tapatalk 4
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
You can sort by last opened (or most frequently opened), but it's based on what you've launched through SAO Launcher. It won't (and can't) know what you've launched from your home launcher. The setting is in Options.

There's already a direct shortcut to settings - the very top option in Options will launch it. :]

Persistent notification sounds like an interesting way of opening the app. I'll look into it.

Widgets... I'm not sure what the widget would be.

Haha, that's what it was going to be originally. But there's already hp / clock widgets on the market, and I couldn't think of anything I'd add to a home launcher. In the end, it became this (which I quite like).
[Android Apps and Games] b1ue:
I was thinking it would be easier to add a button to go straight into options rather than having to go thru the app options...and the persistent notification would just be to keep the service in memory just in case..

Regarding the widgets....I was thinking that it would be cool to add a "tab" for user widgets so that they could be accessed thru the app. So that maybe a weather widget or something could be viewed as an overlay similar to the list views.

It's only a suggestion though:)
[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Do services get killed? I know apps get killed eventually, but a service is designed to be run in the background. I haven't used them much, though.

Having widgets inside the app sounds interesting. It'll be something I'll save for a rainy weekend - I haven't a clue how to load widgets. I'll have to read through AOSP's launcher source code - bleh.
[Android Apps and Games] killoi:
OMG <3 SAO

i like this

[Android Apps and Games] Xlythe:
Found something cool yesterday! If you have a Windows PC, someone's built something similar for Win XP through Win 8.

[Android Apps and Games] mikaelchen357:
Would it be possible to mark messages as read and dismiss notifications when you open the message thread in the launcher? Also, the people and apps seems to lag on opening...presumably because of loading a large number of items, could this be made smoother?
