Bugs/feature requests

Promising app, but I have found a few bugs and have som feature suggestions :)

Bugs:

- When opening the settings bar: brightness goes to 0 %

- Mixed bar: bookmarks' pictures is very small

- Mixed bar: add settings is broken, says "No item. Maybe you already added all of them"

- Almost impossible to read the menu that appears when the overflow button is pressed on the bars

Feature requests:

- App bar: Some sort of alphabet-indication, so it is easier to find the right app, maybe like the action launcher implementation.

- Toggle the bar by swiping, instead of just opening.

- Settings bar: reboot should only be shown if user has root. As it is useless otherwise.

- Settings bar: Ability to change the shortcut of the clock

- Settings bar: longpress on toggles for access to settings eg. wifi settings

- Can't seem to find out what "Vertical position" does - if it isn't broken then maybe an explanation is required

- Big bar: Would be nice if when scrolling toggles you wouldn't have to scroll an entire page, but just one icon

- Ability to change each bars swipe area

Device info:

- Nexus 4 4.3 stock

Installation?!?

I downloaded the zip file and when I opened it there is no APK file!? I know I must be a noob at this but is there something I should be doing do install it on my phone?!
[Android Apps and Games] chr22:
One more feature suggestion:

- Big bar: Ability to change what's in the Settings collection
[Android Apps and Games] bungadudu:
Also, would be nice if the sidebar would disable itself when there's another app running on top.

It's quite annoying when you're playing some games and unintentionally drag the sidebar!

Also please do something like a second dock - favorite apps (with user chosen apps, horizontally scrollable) to be shown in the big bar.

Also, 1 bug: when I try to rename the bars the app force cloces.
[Android Apps and Games] omihay:
great app. thank you. keep up the good work.

i have experienced one bug on my S3:

- data toggler seems to not work, because it does nothing when actioned.
[Android Apps and Games] Firreath:
It freaked out

I installed the app, set it up, and when I tried to use one of the sliders it FCed, and would open and close you report page, I couldn't do anything.
[Android Apps and Games] SSD4130:
I can't seem to find the ability to add widgets to the bar. Any tips?
[Android Apps and Games] chr22:
Lockscreen

The bars are accessible on the lockscreen but is only semi functional.

Would be nice with an option to disable lockscreen access.
[Android Apps and Games] Gemichi:
same here, it kept on crashing. I tried install it three times.

Nexus 4, CM10.1.3, Franco kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] RivaultUser:
looking forward to it mate :)
[Android Apps and Games] qalsaleh:
Great job. Lot of functions. I think this is best multitasking bar (bars) so far. Please add a user guide to explain how to get benefit of all the functions available. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Skepper:
I'm using Lux on the latest stock version of Sense 5 on the HTC One... I tried installing this because it is obviously awesome! The only problem is that it seems to interfere with the auto brightness control of Lux... Let me know if you need a deeper explanation! Keep up the good work! :)
[Android Apps and Games] cosmin.droid:
Nope. It's on. I'm talking about the scrolling inside the text messages or recent apps tabs (left-right scroll/flip, to actualy read it or the recent apps). The up/down scroll works as it's supposed to inside the Big Bar.
[Android Apps and Games] ATMOSF3AR:
Real neat & productive
[Android Apps and Games] gustrick:
Works great in xt925!!

Saludos
[Android Apps and Games] IgnitedBeast:
Found a bug :( Phone:Galaxy S4 AT&T Upon installing the app, it would work for about 10 seconds and then stop working. Along with that, every about 3 or 4 seconds it would open up a window saying that it had encountered a problem and then close it without me even touching it. Other than that I could tell it was a really nice app from everything else. Just wanted to report the bug on here because it wouldnt let me on my phone.:)
[Android Apps and Games] reinert012:
This is gorgeous...

Is the scrolling on the all apps swipe a tad delayed/choppy for anyone? I'm running Samgun gs4 slimbean 4.3
[Android Apps and Games] TexasRules777:
Great app!! Just can't get the big bar to scroll and wifi dashclock extension isn't working with it.
[Android Apps and Games] coloxim:
Very nice app..

[MENTION=2363772]leducbao[/MENTION] please publish the app on google play so that we get updates on the fly :)

I really really like the app and I'm willing to pay for it.
[Android Apps and Games] desantim:
Having the "This program has been cracked" issue, it crashes over and over and over and over, taking complete control over my phone. Galaxy S4 Rooted with stock 4.2.2 ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] cedauspleen:
awesome man
[Android Apps and Games] Drakenlord78:
UBUNTU :D

Really, you did a great job. I know there is several replies and mine would get drowned into them but I insist to thank you because you came with that app while I was searching kind of app like that (tried Xposed framework full multi-view app but it wouldn't add automatically downloaded apps and is not really suited for multitasking).

I tried Glovebox but yours is way better than anything else of this kind.

If I could donate, I would have given you some bucks trust me. Keep up that f*cking good work.

My suggestion is to improve the display by making icons appear in 3D if you could find someone really interested in you project and a good designer, I'll tell you that your app will be on top of the selling. Make something even more georgous to see. Also, try to make a feature that allow the user to swipe to the very other side (for instance, if the sidebar is at the left, scrolling to the very right) to return to the home screen which is something that the user do regularly.

Also (but I noticed it with Glovebox too) on my International Samsung Galaxy S III (GT-I9300) while setting text of the icons the scrolling lag and it is not smooth at all when scrolling back to find an app (that's why I deleted Glovebox, and also because you have to hold your finger on the screen before launching any app). But while unticking "display text", scrolling become smooth like butter. :D

All the best for you and sorry for that long reply but I wanted to express how I would like to see that app becoming in a near future and with mine and others comments, I think that apps will sure becoming a #1 and should even be integrated in custom ROMS or even stock why not? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] pemell:
Did you do some kind of wipes? Mine went crazy like this after I deleted some caches and other temporary files.
[Android Apps and Games] chicco30:
On Galaxy S4 9505 works, I just have to figure out how best to use it
[Android Apps and Games] Wiggz:
Hi... great start... Couple of things. Needs improvement on the smoothness front.... Bit jittery on 4.2.2 HTC One when sliding open. Also some dashclock extensions fail. One more thing... You can't stretch the bar to the top of the screen.... Bit annoying

Nice one though ;) KUTGW
[Android Apps and Games] engrbm:
Tried it on my HTC sensation running cm 10.2 , kept restarting and crashing. I think I was able to send a report. But since app, waiting to be stable
[Android Apps and Games] infamous916:
It worked fine until I tried to pull open the widget bar then it crashed and restarted in a crashed state I'm going to remove the widgets and see what happens

Sent from an Infamous Android
[Android Apps and Games] rfrenz:
Worked for about 2 minutes

Installed the program on GT-I9100 running CM 10.2 build 9/1/31 and it worked for a couple of minutes. Began exploring the side bars and then it went nutz - flashing, crashing, taking over phone. No real message that I noticed but it wanted to send a report. It finally allowed me a break to get to Uninstaller and I deleted it. May just not be for this phone/ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] sourcex:
new beta app crashing

Sorry ,but I found this weird problem in the beta version

It just crashed on its own when I tried to click on it

It went it infinite loops crash (until I was able to uninstall) I could even send a error report but managed to get a screen
[Android Apps and Games] Techno Sapien:
good work,switched from sidebar lite,and works great .thanks
[Android Apps and Games] moizm:
Very promising app. Definitely helps improve the workflow. Keep up the good work...
[Android Apps and Games] jamonthis:
This is great. Just what i have been looking for to use with PIE.
[Android Apps and Games] killall:
When I try to use the third screen (bottom part of slider) app crashes.

SGSIII on 4.2.2 leaked stock. With Xposed module.

Logcat attached.
[Android Apps and Games] rvpartsguy:
Just installed... But so far so good... Really liking it on my Nexus 7(2013) running CM
[Android Apps and Games] TheAltruistic:
Well what I was thinking was to have the short cuts to the left and right of the buttons. The stock buttons take up a very small portion of the screen on the Nexus tablets (I probably should've specified Nexus tablets :o).
[Android Apps and Games] magicblack7:
Fantastic Sidebar! Can you add the possibility of swipe for every "sidebar"? And can you add the possibility of open sidebar with shotrcut?
[Android Apps and Games] t3rm3y:
Im on a note 2 with official rom 4.1.2 seems to work ok so far. My screen seems brighter though.. not sure if is or not. But is a concern as if it is making the screen brighter then the batt drain will be quicker
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
Terrific potential. I love the design. Unfortunately I can't replace my other apps without shortcuts and activities. That doesn't seem insurmountable given how far along this has already progressed. Please add ASAP and I'm ready to purchase.

BTW, the settings menus are washed out and unreadable on my stock galaxy nexus.
[Android Apps and Games] NightM@re:
Using note2 , but i'm not quite sure how to use it :\

after i open app and customize everything , once i exit app or press home button , the 3 pin pointers disappear

am i doing something wrong ?

Edit : my bad , i was making the bars too small .
[Android Apps and Games] redhat_123:
Try to increase Gesture width and once you exit the app, try to swipe left to right on left most part of the screen to launch this sidebar. Keep on adjusting Gesture width unless you find your sweet spot.
[Android Apps and Games] dianamg:
Sorry, can you explain how i can choose bars upon each swipe? do they alternate?

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

Ok. i solved it. the problem was that the bar was to short, and the swipes were in the same place
[Android Apps and Games] Nyrus:
So beautiful and useful.. I had a problem... When I tried to swipe the third bar, the app entered in an infinite loop, but then I restarted the phone, and it's all ok
[Android Apps and Games] resore:
very nice app, the only problem for me is too small area of recent apps - it would be lovely if with just slide and point of the thumb i was able to switch apps, now it requires scrolling one row area with imho unnecessary big app icons

regards
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Dude what's with this? is everyone going to copy Sidebar now?

Please rename the application. This is not appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] MattBooth:
I'm liking this thing so far!

Only two issues...

Sometimes it gets cleared from memory.

I can't figure out how to delete a bar!
[Android Apps and Games] gordito_gr:
My suggestions:

1) Make other bars accesible from other areas on screen. For example, one from top left, another from top right, etc

2) As i swipe my hand to make it visible, to be able to highlight and expand another bar by swiping higher or lower.

---------- Post added at 04:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 AM ----------

Unity launcher was out before yours so stop crying about 'copying'
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
The name is identical that's why. It's fine either way. Just tested out the app and pm'd the dev.

good luck, dev.
[Android Apps and Games] gordito_gr:
And what you saw when trying out the app?

Tons of more features than yours.

Anyway, i agree that the name should be changed.
[Android Apps and Games] Nyrus:
The first issue I don't know, but to delete, open the app and touch "Manage Bars".. And then, touch the three squares...

Then, touch delete...
[Android Apps and Games] cosmin.droid:
Stock ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] Eastern37:
Great app! Definitely unique! The extensions are awesome! Would be nice if you could bring down the memory usage a little bit and when the sidebar is set to the right side, when you swipe out it leaves a gap between the bar and the side of the screen. Other than that it's a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Absolutely. If you have widget, it's worth to see. Otherwise, it's less useful.
[Android Apps and Games] zeusin360:
Hi

there is any posibility to call the app bar directly, with out swipe? i want bind the bar app to the home button

is posible?

Thank you, and regards from spain!
[Android Apps and Games] gmfeny:
I really like this app. Some things I noticed and suggestions:

-I can't rename the bars

-maybe be able to add recent apps to other side bars besides the big bar and have it scroll vertically

-I couldn't get recent apps to scroll (not sure if it is only suppose to display the last 8 )

-recent apps don't open from where you left off (for instance if I'm looking at a pic in my gallery and hit the home button while viewing that pic, if I go to my gallery in the recent apps menu on the sidebar it will open it displaying all my albums as if it was my 1st time opening it)

-anyway to get notifications in the sidebar (it'll be nice to still be able to see notifications on expanded desktop)

-be able to swipe to close

-the gap when the sidebar is on the right side

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

Yours is sidebar pro this is sidebar plus... 2 different names.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

Lol no offense but please don't do this. I love the minimalistic feel. Maybe a themes engine if people wanted to create themes but when you start adding all the extra stuff things tend to become tacky

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

Its not choppy on my nexus 10. It can be a little smoother but its smooth enough for a beta or even 1st release

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

It will move the swiping position up or down if the gesture area height isn't set to 100%
[Android Apps and Games] arn.yong:
Just tried your app on a tablet (p6800)

Your app is awesome. Its much better than swapps

Anyways:

Bugs:

When you slide out any of the bars and click the options menu present, the options there (edit, add bar, support, other apps) are translucent, making it hard to see the options

Feature request:

I notice that when you slide out any of the bars, it would dim the rest screen down. Please give us an option to adjust the dimming of the screen.'

Also, maybe you can allow us to set different gesture area heights for each sidebar? For example, in the vertical bar, i would like to set 60% vertical area for application, 20% vertical area for Big bar and 20% area for settings bar

Will add on if there are any more things i see. Other than that, Excellent Work!
[Android Apps and Games] gmfeny:
Just uncheck the option to show status bar. Lol it doesn't remove the status bar like it sounds but it removes the icon from the status bar instead of making it invisible
[Android Apps and Games] kpkid:
Impressive :victory: Best ever Multitasking, Waiting final version :)
[Android Apps and Games] FailedNewbiE:
Tried out the app and couldn't get past testing the third bar. App went crazy starting to close and reopen itself in rapid succession and from what I am able to see between the milisconds the app is open, it says something about the app has been cracked? Not really sure what that means since i downloaded from the official forum. Using an S3 btw.
[Android Apps and Games] Vercion3:
Android Version

Is this only for ICS and above? Does it works on GB?
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
#1. Goto a bar then tap on "3 dots" button, then rename.

#2. You can completely hide status bar icon by follow this guide: http://anttek.com/forum/discussion/27/how-to-disable-android-application-notifications (Android 4.1+ only)

#3. Totally agree. I hope to support in next release.

#4. go to big bar and and tap on "3 dots" button to customize.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Thank you. If it crashes, please send me a report so that I can identify the bug.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Take a look at this if you are in JB 4.1+: http://anttek.com/forum/discussion/27/how-to-disable-android-application-notifications. Otherwise, I will take a look at notification priority
[Android Apps and Games] AdX9170:
Thank you for the clarifications.. Although I hv a doubt regarding the method u hv mentioned to hide notifications.. The app itself has a setting to disable notifications but doing so makes the app prone to getting killed by a simple swipe out of memory. Wouldn't disabling the notifications from the android settings do the same thing?
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
No, disable notification hear will disable status bar icon + notifications + toast message from the app. But it is not being killed by system.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Thanks for your report and suggestions. I hope to fix/support them in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
You should get an .apk file when click on the download link. Then tap on it to install on your device.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Agreed. Will be support in next version.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
- Regarding on hiding sidebar (ex. while play in game...), I think that a shortcut would be nice (ex. an item on overflow menu, or notification bar)

- Favorite apps will be include in the next release.

- Rename force close bug fixed and will be included in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
What is your Android version and device model?
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Widgets support only on Big bar!
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
It's a good idea. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Thank you. App has a bug in brightness settings. it may reset to "0" when you open the setting bar. Is that the case?
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Could you try to disable scroll up/down to see if it works. I think that the up/down scrolling has higher priority when you touch.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Do you mean scroll horizontally or vertically?
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
I will publish it on Google Play soon. At this beta release, I hope to get more feedback from XDA-ers and fix some bugs
[Android Apps and Games] killall:
Any luck with the crashes?
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Thank you mate. I'm listening to you and hope to improve my app regarding on your comments
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
I just figured out that some Dashclock extension supports only JB 4.2+. If you install them on older version, it just doesn't work :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Please click "Send report" if it shows up. It helps me to identify the bug.
[Android Apps and Games] killerb777:
nice app. with an addition of some rss feed widgets, it could be a great option similar to htc's blinkfeed. I've tried a few rss widgets like pulse and it's not bad.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Definitively yes. I hope to support it soon
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
I observed the battery usage and see it does not drain your battery. I also did not receive any report concerning to this issue yet.
[Android Apps and Games] Skepper:
Yup, and it seems to stay there until screen is off and then on again, seems to be that Lux can then only turn the brightness down if you set it past zero, something like -30% and that's just overlaying... Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
Thanks for your great ideas.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
It should be some sort of shortcuts. I hope to support it soon
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
For bugs. I confirm it's a bug. Also, thank you for your feature requests.
[Android Apps and Games] leducbao:
It supports Android 2.2+
[Android Apps and Games] slowdyve:
Same problem here. Using on a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini with stock 4.1.2 "only" rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] cedauspleen:
The small problem I have is when I'm writing a text, the keyboard disapear when i'm typing "a" or "q"

However, this app is AWESOME.
[Android Apps and Games] Maramu:
Hey! I really like your app. Quite useful. However, seems that when I want to rename the Contact bar, the app crashes or something like it. I've also sent a report from within the app. hope you can fix it asap. Thank again!
[Android Apps and Games] frankgreimes:
Awesome app thank you very much, recommend it to my gf and she is now using her phone at lightspeed. The best thing about it is how easy and fast multitasking has become with this baby thanks again really appreciate it.
[Android Apps and Games] Wiggz:
Hey leducbao

Get this on Google Play now for 99p and you'll a) make a killing and b) make it easier for us to update whilst you continue dev.
[Android Apps and Games] BonifacyM:
Great App !!

Could You add, vibration haptic?

And when i want close sidebar, i must swipe/move my finger outside app, it is possible to close sidebar by swipe/move finger in sidebar ? Like in Appsi ?

edit

For me it is bug, but maybe that is feature ...

Why Sidebar is working on lockscreen with pattern/pin ... everybody, can read messages (for example from bank) emails, turn off gps ( when i lost phone and cerberus is working) ...
[Android Apps and Games] Shudder123:
very cool app. trying it out right now. my rom has a sidebar included but i cannot decide which side of the screen to put it on. this is perfect.

there is a slight lag when swiping it to appear though. since it's still in beta, i'm sure it will be fixed soon
[Android Apps and Games] magicblack7:
And a community on Google+?
[Android Apps and Games] blade_:
nice!im gonna try it!
