not bad, not bad at all - good concept, idea, and overall good execution, nice clean holo interface, which developer nicely followed Google's android design UI standards (thumbs up to developer) so it is not ugly (like many apps here)..

Here's how i was going to use it:

I have Nova Launcher, so I installed lite version of this app, and on Nova launcher, I was planing to create a short cut to Exquisite Drawer, then use that short cut icon to replace Nova launcher's app drawer icon, so when I click on Nova Launcher app drawer icon on home screen, it would launch Exquisite Drawer app instead of default Nova's app drawer...when I tried Nova launcher --> short cut --> I could not find Exquisite Drawer short cut...so a bit disappointed..not sure if it is app thingy or Nova thingy...
[Android Apps and Games] sjansen2:
Would love to use this as a launcher. Clean and nice to use.

Simplicity is the best!
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
There is something in my code missing. Thanks for the feedback.

But you can find Exquisite Drawer anyway.

You have just to follow this:

Nova launcher --> short cut --> activities --> Exquisite Drawer

This should do the trick.

(The same for Apex: There you could also directly edit the app drawer icon to open Exquisite Drawer)

Although you can go to nova drawer and long click the Exquisite drawer Icon to make a shortcut on the homescreen.

I hope this solves your problem.

Anyway. I will look into this so that it will be available on the first shortcuts.
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
Just to let you know:

I'm currently on a good way. I'm partially rewriting the app for better performance and in terms of future feature support. I hope that I can release a new version (maybe just for tests here at xda) by end of the week.

When this version is ready for release I will start integrating new features such as categories, hidden apps, folders and much more.
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
Need some Testers

Hey guys,

as stated before I'm currently working on a new way to handle loading and storing the apps and the images.

Before I want to integrate this into the main app I want to make sure everything is working fine. So i need your help.

I have attached a proof of concept apk which has no settings and only shows you the apps and the top and bottom image.

You can install it beside the original Exquisite Drawer. (It will be called "Exquisite Drawer Testing")

Please install it and make sure that every app is shown. Also give me feedback about the opening speed when you reopen the app.

(Are the apps and the images visible immediatly? This is at least my intention)

I hope everything works for you as for me so I can implement this into the main application.

Thanks for your help
[Android Apps and Games] marcovittori:
i've tried it now on my gnex and the app opening really fast :)
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
Thanks.

Which Android version do you use?
[Android Apps and Games] marcovittori:
android 4.4.2
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
Thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] B3311:
Bought it, and I like it! I use Lightning Launcher Extreme and I've never liked its app drawer. Can I suggest that the sidebar can also be customised colourwise?

One bug - if I select anything smaller than "default" for text size in the app list, the icons are cropped vertically.

By the way, why does the test apk need sd card and network permissions? The play store version needs none.

Looking forward to folder/icon pack support, many thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
Thank you for your support.

What do you mean with "sidebar"? Do you mean the sidepanel where you can access your categories Settings and EditMode? If so it should be fully customizable. Just look in settings under "sidebar" (Obviously ;)). Or do you mean something else? Then you have to explain a little further.

I know. I'm working on this. Thanks for reporting anyway.

I was testing something and simply forgot to remove them. Sorry for that.

FYI:

sd-card: will maybe used to save optimized images to make the loading process even faster

internet: maybe (but I'm not sure yet - propably not) there will be a little advertising in the lite version.

Both of them are on my todo list. I think folders will be the first of those two mentioned features but I don't know yet.

The first new feature which will get it into the app (beside of performance improvements) are custom categories.

Did you install the test apk?

If so does it work well for you?

And which Android version?

Thank you for your feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] B3311:
Thanks. I mean the scrollable vertical bar on the right side of the screen on the app list page that indicates position.

Tried the test apk, it definitely loads quicker. Running aJB 4.3 custom ROM on a Samsung Note 3.
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
Ok. Thanks.

I hope I can manage this. I had already looked into it but did not get the solution which fits my expectations yet. At least I will implement a list with different available colors. But I would definitively prefer a way to change the color dynamically. I will look into this and try my best. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jazzespresso:
that did trick, hopefully next release will able to use direct short cut :)

what differences between lite and pro version?
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
If you are using the lite version you can go to settings. The settings which are stated with "Only available in pro version" are only available in pro version. ;)

Basically in the lite version you can only choose from the inbuilt designs and in the pro version you can totally customize the app to your liking.

In the lite version it is actually possible to change the background color and textsize of the titlestrip to demonstrate the capabilities of the pro version.

I hope I answered your question.
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
Good news for you. (And all others too which want that feature)

I found a way to let launcher applications directly create a shortcut of Exquisite Drawer without using the little "hack" I told you before.

So you can looking forward to see this feature as soon as I release the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] jazzespresso:
perfect!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Turboshroom:
Like the design and will be trying this on my tablet soon. How long does it take to make something like this, is if you don't mind me asking?
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
Since I had no real development skills before it took me much time. I think I started about a month and a half ago and are developing nearly from 8am to 3am every day. :silly:

So it is quite a bit ;)
[Android Apps and Games] B3311:
Wow. I'm impressed! This app will be the success your hard work deserves, I'm sure of it;)
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
Thank you so much.
[Android Apps and Games] nss357:
Pretty good concept :good:

Gonna try this, could you perhaps provide alternate link other than play store?

Definitely gonna follow this app development :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
Thank you.

Why would this be necessary?

Is the app not available in some countries?
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
Hey guys,

just to let you know:

Currently I'm hardly working on the implementation of custom categories and I think I got finally the idea how to implement it well to fit into the app concept. So I hope I can soon provide a big update.
[Android Apps and Games] B3311:
Any progress/news?
[Android Apps and Games] Exquisite Apps:
Yeah...

I'm struggeling with the categories at the moment. Until now I was not able to find a convenient way to integrate them without breaking the fast loading. So I need a bit more time to finish the next version.

(Also I was quite busy the last week in my real life)

As soon as I managed it I will a test release here in this forum without customizing capabilities but with categories for testing. If this test will be successful the next official release is not far away.

Hope you could be a little more patient.

Thanks.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] shimmyhill:
I have had my XdaII since they where first out and it has worked flawlessly, i upgraded it ages ago with a rom from these forums and it has been used daily as a Sat nav and work phone solution. Never really missed a beat.

However like many with the Arkon mount the headphone adaptor broke and got jammed into the xdaII - as it was stuck with no sound i had to get it out. When doing this the socket on the xdaII got broken and has not worked since. This never bothered me but no i have a tomtom one and no use for the xdaII.

Can i get it repaired or buy the parts to repair it ? Is it worth while or should i just sell it as is ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] johnk1973:
You might of just stressed and cracked a soldered joint on the socket, it's not too hard if you're half decent witha small soldering iron...

I don't know where this hw value is stored in phone. I will check my Lumia 520 RM-914 dump for it.

To get this value from your phone just run Fiddler or Wireshark in your network and enter proxy values in phone.

You don't need to intercept https:// for this.

Then just choose any app from store.

This will work for any version of WP 8.0 on your phone, but not for WP 8.1.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustaavalkosta:
Download this: http://downloads.codefi.re/mustaavalkosta/tests/3-24_CalendarGoogle_4.4.2_signed.zip

Unzip it and open META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script with notepad++ or some other text editor. It should be pretty self-explanatory but you can try to google manuals for edify scripting. After you have edited it to your liking zip it again and just flash it. If you want to have it signed for some reason, you need to download signapk.jar from somewhere and proper keys.

I know this isn't exactly a guide for you but should get you going in the right direction.

I've encountered errors like this simply because the files were either damaged or the transfer to the sd-card was interrupted. Make sure that your files have been transferred properly, and that your external SD-card is not damaged

Hi there! I have an Android based set top box and I'm looking for buying a sdcard so I could bring more space to it. The thing is I don't know which method should I use between apps2sd or external2internal so I have more space to install big games. Actually it has a little more than 5gb of internal memory, which is very poor if I want to install few games, emulators with its rooms etc.

If your android version is grater than 2.1.x you could just go to settings->aplications and move the apps to the sd, if not you can use the apps2sd
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
It's apples and oranges. a2sd is very limited and only moves a part of the apk but not the other data of the app which takes up more space than the apk typically. External2internal does the whole SD card so you'll have as much storage as your card has space on it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arucarde:
Ups sory, I did mess the 2 xD It´s is been I while since I used it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _SpAiK_:
I was asking this because although I'm on 4.2 there's no a2sd support. Anyway, with apps2sd I was referring to Darktremor's script, which moves data to an external ext3/4 partition in sdcard, versus external2internal thing.

I've installed ext2int but I don't know how to configure it because I can't figure out internal mount point. I think it's using fuse.

>Save the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 key

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/productkeysactivation/gr/mjbkeyfinder.htm

>Create ISO image of the default Windows 8 recovery partition which is already on a USB stick.

You can't make an ISO from the rec partition. You can make a partition image, using any of various imaging tools. Don't know why you would bother keeping 8, if you're upgrading to 8.1 anyway.

>Update recovery partition to 8.1

You can't. You can make a new 8.1 rec partition, but it's more trouble than it's worth to stick with the MS scheme. Extract Win key, back up data, wipe disk, and clean install. Then image backup using 3rd-party tool.

Required for clean install:

Surface Pro (and Pro 2) driver pack

en_windows_8.1_with_update_x64_dvd_4065090.iso

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepflash:
Hi guys,

since I'm new to Sony Z* I don't actually know, what is the best way to transfer data to my internal/external sd cards?

I would like to not use cables to leave the docks closed.

So Bluetooth or Wifi would be the next options, while Bluetooth might be a bit slow for lage file transfers I guess.

So is there any easy way to transfer data between the Z2 and a pc ofer wifi? The best thing would be, if no third party software on the pc is required.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nreuge:
Try Airdroid, it's the best app AFAIK.

Note that because of a restriction introduced by Kitkat, wireless data transfer can not be done directly to the external SDcard. The Airdroid team is currently working to try to overcome this issue.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOnlyIntruder:
If you goto settings, Xperia Connectivity, USB Connectivity, you can pair your device with your computer (the phone will give you instructions), once the phone is paired with your computer you can simply goto the same menu, tap the name for your computer, and you will then be able to transfer files as if you had connected by USB in Media Transfer Mode all over wifi.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nreuge:

Thanks!!

But a toggle would be great to enable the connection.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMonkeYJ:
That sounds very cool. How is the data transferred? Not all of my PCs have Bluetooth, so I'm hoping it's not via bluetooth...

EDIT: woops, should have read the last word...."over wifi"
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepflash:
Thanks for mentioning. This will work great at my home I guess, but not at my office pc which is connected to a different wifi network.

I would have to open a Wifi Hotspot on my Z2 and let the PC connect to it to make it still work.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOnlyIntruder:
I don't think it matters which network you join, since the pairing is based on the MAC address on each device (An example would be you could still pair with your home computer even if your computer was connected to a different network) unless you're not allowed to have your phone connect to your work's wifi?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepflash:
That's the point ;)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SexyIceCream:
unfortunately this doesn't seem to be working for me =/ it just says "connecting" for a long time, and then tells me it could not connect to the network. this is after the message saying the pairing is a success...:(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOnlyIntruder:
This has happened to me too but usually happens if the phone has gone to sleep after it has been connected already, I also think stamina mode blocks the connection while the phone is in sleep. Try turning the wifi off (remember to disconnect from the PC first) and back on and then reconnect but ensure the screen stays on/phone stays awake, once you've done your tasks disconnect from the pc, otherwise it'll eventually as I like to say "forget it's connected while still reporting it is connected".

If it's still not working, try re-pairing and after repeating the above tasks and it's still not working, check your router configuration and/or your pc's network connection settings including any firewalls.

Thats about the best information I can offer really so if it doesn't work after all that I'm not sure what else that can be done.
