Works great thnx for the app ^^

[Android Apps and Games] danlivesey:
Nice work, looks good feels smooth. I'll post back when I've used your app a bit more.
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
thanks for try it guys :)
[Android Apps and Games] xFajitas:
Very unique launcher

Its very cool thumbs up and 5 star on playstore
[Android Apps and Games] XDA.AGM:
really good!! and free!!. thank you very much!! :D. works excellent in P.A.C rom 4.3.1 ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
Glad that you find it useful, thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Looks really great, will test it later.

Thanks :good:
[Android Apps and Games] VrOckerZ:
Could i get the APK of the app. for me its not showing in the play store :confused:!! Waiting for ittttttttttt:victory:
[Android Apps and Games] Jordan~Kurniawan:
many thanks.. this is amazing..

for those of you who cant find the link..

here it is

*edit : one thing that i think is a big addition... ability to swipe from the corner.. rather than swiping from menu keys :)
[Android Apps and Games] mutantblack:
Swiping from the menu is not very convenient for me on Touchwiz but I understand you did this way so it won't use ram. Since I use Nova, I custom set gesture to launch from home and it works really well.

One suggestion from me pls put check box when we add application so I won't have to keep adding one app and then go back in and add another app over and over. Check box multiple apps to add will solve this problem I think. Just my 0.02c
[Android Apps and Games] Odeira.Oloap:
Works well on my Note II. Though I hope in a future update an option to hide the status bar. I hid my status bar through Apex Launcher. I just want to keep the aesthetic (it looks nicer that way) and I also use gestures to access it,... But thanks for this!
[Android Apps and Games] WazeKSss:
nice....:laugh::good:
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
thanks for your feedback and suggestions! :)
[Android Apps and Games] JPhantom95:
This is so cool! I'm very happy that this isn't activated by sliding from any screen edges as that input is way too inconsistent or gets in the way of other swiping commands.
[Android Apps and Games] Karamvir Singh:
See man first thing [MENTION=697575]sux[/MENTION]em didn't say its gonna improve battery life or free up your ram......he us just saying that unlike other launcher this none doesn't need to run in the background and thus doesn't consume your ram or battery.......now in case you wanna use it as your default launcher then you can use target	homelauncher
[Android Apps and Games] Bowen Miao:
It seems the developer no longer update this app

I know this app is compatible and works fine on my phone which is running Lollipop 5.1, but it's been awhile since the last update. Do you [MENTION=2576353]Suxsem[/MENTION] still plan to continue your work in the future?:confused: I care about it because this is indeed a good launcher:good::good:

Direct Link to Play Store?

Tapatalk can't use image link.
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
oh you're right! i'm adding just now...

anyway just search "slidelauncher" (and not "slide launcher"...stupid google play) :)

edit: done :)
[Android Apps and Games] herna:
If that launcher is free why do not you share here an apk on OP? Not all people uses Gapps and on the most of XDA app threads there is the apk :P

Enviado desde mi GT-N7000 mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
because it takes longer to publish updates... :D anyway, i think i will add apk on xda! thanks for suggestion!

edit: done!
[Android Apps and Games] TheDarkDefender:
Wow. Awesome app! Great work! I'm glad i stepped into this in the nexus 4 PA thread! Worth it and more!
[Android Apps and Games] Dulo_PL:
Maybe could you add search bar on top??

Tapatalknięte z Nexusa 4
[Android Apps and Games] Seedform:
Haha up until now I didn't even know you could replace the swipe up gesture for Google Now.

This app is pretty neat. Of course there's a few bugs here and there, but it's still new, and honestly I think it's great for daily use.

EDIT: I think loading theme icons could be optimized more. Right now it's really slow, crashes sometimes, but still usable usually.

Keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] faith5x5:
having trouble figuring this out

This may be a seriously boneheaded questions, but I just downloaded this from the play store and cannot figure out how to activate it. I have a rooted HTC one running the stock 4.3 GE rom. I have no on screen home button to swipe as suggested in the play store video - where do you swipe or what do you hold for the HTC one?

NEVER MIND - found it right in the tutorial
[Android Apps and Games] rootingdestroyer:
Your application seems very glitchy, and I don't like how it uses the same scheme as Google Now.

I couldn't get your application to work correctly on my Nexus 4.

Hope this feedback helps a lil man.
[Android Apps and Games] Anubhav Agrawal:
not suited for phones like samsung galaxy s4, which dont have a soft key home button ...

Either another app, like home2button needs to b installed ..

Try integrating the function to ur app which lets the user make a custom key for calling the app (if u get what i m trying to say ...), the app is great, and i really liked it, but as stated abv , nt useful fr models like mine .. ;(
[Android Apps and Games] Christiancs1969:
Very nice am playing ;) subscribed.... Shared. -g+ are you making g+ community? It's worth it.... beta community? Future thoughts?.....
[Android Apps and Games] marcel201:
Downloading and testing. Thanks .
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
have you tried the samsung plugin? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suxsem.slidelaunchertouchwiz

hi, there already a beta testers community :) https://plus.google.com/communities/112132550320907835755?hl=it
[Android Apps and Games] Christiancs1969:
Am I ok for invite?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Awesome app! Finally i have a use for the search button (was never a fan of Google now). Only issue I'm facing is how long it takes to add targets to the launcher. Is it possible to implement something like a batch add? Where you can add x number of apps together?
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
can you pm me with your mail?

hi. what you (and other) are asking needs a lot of more code... this app is meant to choose your favourite shortcuts not so often so i prefer to leave it lightweight, hope you understand :) anyway, thanks for suggestion, maybe in the future! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Anubhav Agrawal:
i will try it today and will get back to u as soon as possible ..

btw i tried with home2 ****** (dnt remember name exactly) app and it worked perfect too ...:)
[Android Apps and Games] Christiancs1969:
PM sent
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
Can't find you on g+... Anyway I will create a public beta testers community very soon, I will inform you here :)
[Android Apps and Games] ghost0211:
I love the features but that home button> search launch method takes second more compared to the single swipe gesture found in the "hotspots" on swipepad. Until hot spots are enabled it's just average 3 star material. I'm sticking with swipepad.Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
Hi. As I wrote in the first post this app is mainly developed for Nexus devices and for other devices that have the navigation bar, so the users can open slidelauncher with a single swipe gesture.

I make the app available through other methods like home>search for Samsung devices and search and camera buttons for other devices, but just to let them to use the app, not for having the best user experience.

Plus, other users suggest to use some apps like home 2 button to launch slidelauncher with a single action so there are a lot of alternatives.

Sorry but I don't think that the app deserves 3 stars, but This is just my opinion :)

Thank for have tried my app anyway :)
[Android Apps and Games] ghost0211:
im sorry im just saying its average. i seek a launcher like this or swipepad to minimize the gestures or button command as little as possible. with a hotspot all i have to do is swipe in from the edges from at my command. i dont like having to "press" the narrow galaxy home button. if i could somehow command the app to launch on the long-press of the back soft key then that to would work?
[Android Apps and Games] djangosteen:
well my device didnt and didnt want to have navbar, search button and camera button. so how do i launch this app? i love this app tho, it looks promising. :)

i have tried to remapping one of my button into a search button to make it work but it still didint work. when i press the remapped button it directly goes to google now.

oh right, my device is a LG-P705 on CM10.2
[Android Apps and Games] raminjpr:
great app...keep up ur great work..:)

great app...keep up ur great work..:) i will update more after playing with it for some more time..:)
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
sorry Android doesn't allow apps to use long press on back button...

we will develop a virtual button (maybe a plugin) for devices that don't have navbar, search or camera button, stay tuned!

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ghost0211:
That's stupid but I did change your app from 3 to 4 stars. You deserve it for the work you put into it. I just hope to see some hot spot support soon because I really love slide launchers graphical interface over swipepad.
[Android Apps and Games] djangosteen:
Looking forward to this update! For now i just pin ur app to notification panel with halo app on play store. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
I already started to work on it :) expect an update in a couple of weeks, stupid university exams slow down me :)
[Android Apps and Games] Christiancs1969:
Important university exams.... Always first....
[Android Apps and Games] djangosteen:
No prob! Take your time. :)
[Android Apps and Games] szzlgupta:
how to make it work on Samsung phone running CyanogenMod 10.1 without nav keys!???
[Android Apps and Games] :
anybody having problems activating this with gestures just install swipe home button.

Works perfectly with swipe up and then right gesture. Very fast and wont get accidentally activated.

And Developer please add option to show recents app in the launcher. That would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
we are working on it :)

meanwhile you can use swipe home button: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matthewma.swipehomebuttonfree
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
IMPORTANT!

Soooo.... i just finished a pre pre pre alpha version of the hotspot plugin. It lets you open slidelauncher with a single swipe from the bottom of the screen (for devices that don't have navbar).

This is only a development version so it doesn't start on boot (you must start it from app drawer) and you must terminate it from settings > app list.

And it has a red overlay that show the hotspot area (the red will be removed in the final version).

I really appreciate if you can test it!

In particular i'd like to know if it detects every swipe action and if it doesn't interfere with your normal activities.

Please, leave your impressions and suggestions, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ghost0211:
Wow that's quick. However I do have the little red hot spot but no launcher or reaction to the touch at all
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
The reaction is on swipe - up, not touch, have you tried it?
[Android Apps and Games] ghost0211:
Yeah and no go
[Android Apps and Games] jkownz:
works for htc one?
[Android Apps and Games] ghost0211:
I'm on s4, I had to delete the Samsung touchwiz plug in. It's working now. So far so good, you're gonna need to make the hot spot a little bigger, launching it is tough
[Android Apps and Games] Royal King:
Hey man, looks cool but does it work with PIE? I don't like the traditional look so I'm currently on full screen PIE. Anyway other way?
[Android Apps and Games] snoozer854:
I second the request for the option to show recent apps

:cool:

App + 'home' script work well on Galaxy S3

After trying so many mods and apps on Google Play and in this forum, now I can happily confirm that Slide Launcher app do exactly what I need: multi-tasking with floating window apps.

My phone is Galaxy S3 international (I9300) running Omega rom v51, Yank kernel with Xposed installer & XHaloFloatingWindow module installed. The script for quickly opening the Slide launcher panel by swiping up from the bottom of the screen make it more convenience. (Note: I also uninstall the TW plug-in as one member noted above before installing the script).

With Xposed installer & XhaloFloatingWindow module, I think Slide Launcher can open apps on floating windows on many devices & different ROMs (not just ParanoidAndroid one). At least it's proved on my Galaxy S3 with Omega rom. Other members can try and give comment here.

Hope the script will soon be updated/ intergrated into the app with auto-run on reboot.

Thank you [MENTION=2576353]Suxsem[/MENTION] for the app!
[Android Apps and Games] mutantblack:
Just installed the plug in and Man its working great. Doesn't interfere with my SwiftKey while typing not like home swipe app. I keep hitting it. This works good. Can't wait for final release.
[Android Apps and Games] dialmformostyn:
Outstanding app, excellent work dev. It'd be nice if at some point future editions animated (bounced, magnified, whatever) the icons when moving over them, much like Circle Launcher etc. Apologies if this exists and I've missed it.

Looking forward to updates, thanks for the effort.
[Android Apps and Games] Jordan~Kurniawan:
the plugin works perfectly.. and need no more tinkering :D .. awesome xD.. +100 this feature
[Android Apps and Games] mr.jelly:
Looks interresting!
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
Sorry for the absence... I got some health problem... Hope I will get better soon so I can continue working on the hotspot plugin :)
[Android Apps and Games] djangosteen:
Get well soon. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ventomarme:
The Camera app does not show full function buttons and thus can not take photo in floating mode. Attached is the screenshot. Other apps like Messenger, Yahoo chat, facebook, viber, facebook chat work well.
[Android Apps and Games] ghost0211:
Looking forward to an update
[Android Apps and Games] Oohhlala:
waiting for plugin. i'm using lmt launcher instead of stock navbar so i cant use this app as usual
[Android Apps and Games] Anubhav Agrawal:
Hi there.!

I m using a 3rd party app to get soft keys on my phone, can i run slide launcher frm there too,by swiping it or long pressing it?

I m using a smasung galaxy s4, yes a touchwiz rom , actually i use google alot, so cant install the extension on my phone, and hence i cant fully benifit from the awesome app by u...

Do tell me if something like abv mentioned is possible ..

Just a note, i was using a home2button app to make this work, but pressing menu button too many times kill the purpose of using the app ..
[Android Apps and Games] mickey4mice:
I want to use this app but I also want to keep Google Now gesture. Is there a workaround (on stock) to have both?
[Android Apps and Games] rfarrah:
Test-driving this now - looks very interesting....
[Android Apps and Games] unstab1e1199:
Works great with the Google launcher. Thanks for the app.
[Android Apps and Games] ghost0211:
Yeah, have the "Google search" app as a shortcut duh ;)
[Android Apps and Games] robindebruin:
Awesome laucher :D
[Android Apps and Games] Xak:
Going to give this one a shot!
[Android Apps and Games] :
I see the xda portal mention did its job of attracting people to this app:sly::p
[Android Apps and Games] blackent:
Sounds like a nice app

Sounds like a nice app. Definitely gonna try.
[Android Apps and Games] silverramsrt:
First impression is very good! I never use the swipe from home feature, but that will change! Now, off to the play store to give you some stars!
[Android Apps and Games] elkhouri:
5 stars for making the navring customization on roms obsolete.
[Android Apps and Games] Mgssidley:
This looks great, can't wait to give it a try, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] arjunpaliath:
Great app..!!!

It works as advertised and I think I am gonna keep this one.

On Temasek CM11 v8 with nav bar and I absolutely love this app.

Keep up the good work and an enhancement would be to use checkboxes to add apps to the grid instead of manually selecting each time.(just saw the same f/b in here b4).
[Android Apps and Games] maddbomber83:
Enjoying the app so far.

A suggestion for future development would be to add pages that you can swipe from the left / right.

Also, being able to place the targets anywhere on the screen (skipping 'slots' and/or free form)
[Android Apps and Games] mickey4mice:
+1 to above.

option to swipe left/right, up/down would be really nice so we aren't constrained by tiny icons when too too many shortcuts are placed on screen.

free form drag/drop is also essential. this slot thing is very annoying, one icon move I basically have to redo all of them.

Otherwise, definitely a keeper.
[Android Apps and Games] dyandell:
Great Work!

Awesome app! It makes repetitive tasks extremely easy. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Raghuvanshi1:
I have LG OGP E988 i don't have navigation bar, no camera or search hardware button. So i am confused how to start the function of software. If you make option "how to start the application work" it would be better like long press back button or menu button or even home or slide from right. Any thing that works on very device

Edit : well for now i have tricked started it. I am using Go launcher, in which i can customized the gesture so i have it the application to launch on double tap, but sadly it for home screen. I can only start the app from home screen not if i'm in other application.
[Android Apps and Games] p4rot:
I love the app thank you so much.
[Android Apps and Games] danial.aw:
this is a small thing... but on the G2 stock rom... when you set this as the default laucher... instead of the rocket in your picture (which i would love to have) it shows a google icon instead... the app works brilliantly though
[Android Apps and Games] Rhyskymud:
Really great..:thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] fire122:
Great Work! Thank you :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Garmus:
Unfortunately not working yet on samsung galaxy express i8730 (stock 4.1.2, rooted rom). I installed from market.

May be for the next versions will be possible to ad some additional possibilities for activate it from an widget?
[Android Apps and Games] rolliradi8:
Feature request

Thanx for the app.

It would be nice if I had several possibilities to start the app - I mean other swype gestures or hotspots. Swyping in from left or right...corners etc.

Cheers

Rolli
[Android Apps and Games] elkhouri:
Please make a hex color picker for those of us OCD about getting the colors exactly right.

Thank you very much for an already great app.
[Android Apps and Games] icemaiden:
Smaller icons

I really like the idea of re-purposing the swipe up feature, and have already ditched my previous sidebar launcher. The only thing that I would like to see in future versions is the ability to make the icons smaller still. I have them set to the smallest possible settings, and they are still too large for my taste. Otherwise, very happy with the app.
[Android Apps and Games] rajdoll:
Memory Save

If it is not going to replace the Main launcher, how will I save memory as the primary launcher will always be loaded? Is there a way to launch this directly instead of primary launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] rfarrah:
I keep getting the Google 3-option launcher instead of Slide Launcher. Any suggestions?

UPDATE: Well, I was able to change the Google launcher so that when I hit that center circle, it launches Slide. That will work.
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
hi guys :) thanks for your feedbacks!

unfortunately this is a VERY bad period for me... had a lot of university exams and i got epstein barr virus (mononucleosis) so i'm very off the game at the moment... anyway i think that i'm almost overcomed the worst part... i will restart to work on slide launcher as soon as possible, hope to release something with xmas holidays :)

to do:

- finish the hotspot plugin (so users without navbar can use my app without 3d party apps)

- add some long press alternative behaviours

stay tuned, bye and thanks for your interest! :)
[Android Apps and Games] robindebruin:
I can help if you want

And good job
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
are you an app developer? can i have your mail (maybe in PM)?
[Android Apps and Games] nikwen:
Really great app. Thank you very much for it. :)

If you think of collaboration, why not make it open source? Some people might get involved and improve the app. Even if it's just one bug fix, you won't have to do it. ;)

Others could learn from your app and they would get the chance to improve the project. In my opinion it would be a win-win situation, wouldn't it? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
i always like open source projects and almost all my projects are open source. but this time (

maybe

) the app became very popouler and i could make a "premium" version with other features so at the moment i prefer to don't publish the sources... maybe i will change my mind in the future :) hope you understand me :)
[Android Apps and Games] Christiancs1969:
Pro customer here..
[Android Apps and Games] crazykefka:
Great app!

Just one suggestion - can you set an option to turn off the background color of the icon frame to make it transparent? That'd be awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
hi, just select "no frame" :) at the moment is (almost) impossible to have a frame with a border and no background sorry
[Android Apps and Games] mikespe:
I really want to try this app but I have a Note 2 so the phone has hardware buttons. I tried sliding up from the bottom but it didn't work. Any other way to activate the launcher? Maybe with gestures or a hotspot?

Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] mgibby:
This looks great. I have a Note 2 and since I have the hardware button I simply set up a gesture in apex to launch the app. Running like a champ! Thanks for this amazing app!
[Android Apps and Games] danfalcas:
How do you get to change google now from the swipe up gesture?
[Android Apps and Games] crazykefka:
I noticed a bug - I was using the grid layout and had my target size DPI high enough so that it fills up the whole screen. Once I left the configuration menu, I can't access it anymore because one of the icons are blocking the settings button. The only way I was able to access it back was to reset the app.
[Android Apps and Games] rfarrah:
Erase the default in the app manager. Next time you access it it will ask which you want by default.
[Android Apps and Games] ripdoozer:
+1 Is this intended to replace the launcher or supplement it.

When I go to my Home Manager app, Slide launcher is not listed as an option to set as default.

Nice work on this!
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
you're right, will work on this :) thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mono28aug:
I cant use google now if i enable this ...swipe up from bottom and bammm slide launcher no google now..
[Android Apps and Games] Suxsem:
Just add Google now as a target in slide launcher :)
