And does it not happen with the home screen/launcher? It's odd, but I don't think it is because of Swiftopen...

Well, the app won't go faster than you move your finger ;)

In the future I'll add slower animations for those who want.

There is drag and drop now!

2: There is transparent background. I'll add a "halo" around the app name so that high transparency is still readable.

3: It is half done. It will not take a lot of time, I believe.

5: There is the option to leave the stock transition. Later on I'll add custom transitions.

Really amazing app. The best multitasking app ever.

Things it really needs:

1) picker for apps like choosing multi apps or all apps.

2) backup/restore settings of the app like your own app settings.

3) add/remove/edit color of apps' labels

Bug found: it's previously reported but I'll describe it; when rearranging apps the app crashed, i solve it by disable the app temp. then enable it after that.

Thanks and keep it upppppppp ?????

Labels really need to be hidden, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mrjimyjohn:
I did some more testing and it works perfectly if I switch to the "old fashioned" chrome tab switcher, but if I merge tabs with apps it opens a new tab every time. Maybe someone else can try to replicate it? I installed swiftopen on my sister's LG G2 running CM12 and it works just the same way - fine with chrome tab switcher, but all weird if I merge tabs with apps.

Maybe I've got some weird settings on my end but I thought I should report it. Thanks again OP!

Edit: just updated to 0.7.2, finding the same results.
[Android Apps and Games] bencairns:
Nice app and can't wait too see how you refine it further.

I'm trying to add shortcuts to Tapatalk forums but instead of being created on the grid, they are ending up on my homescreen. Its either a bug or I'm missing something. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] 32str8:
I would suggest selectively hiding the labels. Text is the only differentiator for similar icons that perform different tasks. Hopefully this will come along with the ability to change the default icon. Otherwise the improvements have been excellent. Everything seems to work flawlessly.

Thanks for the "go back from folder" option. It is a good way to solve the reach issue.
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
This is great, can't believe how far it's come from a very early version I tried.

I'd love icon pack support, and support for icon masking. And of course icon support for folders too.

I think multi select would be good when setting up folders.

And a backup restore option.

I get a glitch when panel disappears, it's like the border detector replicated in the opposite corner flashes on screen for a fraction of a second. Nexus 4, kit kat.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] tornido067:
so fast : D

Great app and great support. Thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] dracool84:
Interesting app. I would recommend option to select multiple apps when configuring folders. Anyway I will test further to see how it behaves. Keep up the good job.
[Android Apps and Games] FerroFlux:
Any chance you could add an option to remove the notification from the status bar? It just takes up additional room! Awesome app though!!
[Android Apps and Games] mrjimyjohn:
I think the notification is needed so the process isn't killed by the system. You can tick hide notifications in the app info settings though.
[Android Apps and Games] FerroFlux:
Yeah I figured as much. Thanks for the app info comment though, wasn't aware of that!
[Android Apps and Games] lotdrops:
All of this is planned, thanks though! :)

I'll work on this as soon as I can.

I've checked it and it is true that chrome opens a new tab. Nevertheless, I believe it is chrome's fault. I'll dig into it whenever possible, but I only tell Android to open chrome, so how does chrome handle the order of being opened is something I can't change, unless I'm doing something wrong.

I've tested it and its true, but I believe it happens with other launchers too. It's the same problem than with chrome, it is how tapatalk has decided to react when asked to generate a shortcut. I really do not understand why have they done that.

I'll add the option to remove the labels in small cells. I may allow to completely remove them but this will be later on. Custom icons will come, hopefully, but not soon.

Icon pack will come someday, for folders too. But what is icon masking?

Multi select and backup will come too.

About the glitch, what is the glitch exactly? Is it that it appears at the top left and moves to its position -this is a known bug- or is it something else?

Will add it soon.

Thank you all for your feedback, and support messages. It helps!
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
Icon masking is when an unthemed icon has a themed backdrop applied to it to tie in with fully themed icons. If that makes any sense!
[Android Apps and Games] bencairns:
Thanks for your reply. Its a shame they have implemented shortcuts in that way. Would it be possible to drag a shortcut, etc from the homescreen into your app grid in some way. I'd imagine there would be a few ways you could implement such a feature and could possibly speed up/simplify populating the grid for some people and get around these shortcut limitations.
[Android Apps and Games] Phiraptor:
I really love this tool. Great work, thanks to the dev!
[Android Apps and Games] mrjimyjohn:
One more thing I've noticed, the "drag distance activate launcher" seems to reset to default (little) after reboots and when the app is killed by system. Not sure if this is just me because I don't remember noticing it on older devices...
[Android Apps and Games] aldroidx:
No update?! not even remove labels in tablet mode ?
[Android Apps and Games] lotdrops:
Thanks, it's a bug and I'll fix it in the next version!

Sorry, I thought I had implemented it, but now I realize I hadn't. It'll come in next version. You can check the updates in the changelog (it's 2 weeks from last update, not that much;).

In about 10 days the next version should come, with a lot of requested changes!
[Android Apps and Games] jshare:
I've been looking for something like this, I recently tried SideControl but I like this better.

Don't know if this is a known bug, but even though I unchecked 'Launch on boot', it still does launch on boot.

Opening apps from the home screen takes a long time to open. Opening an app from any other app is really fast, though.
[Android Apps and Games] lotdrops:
It is how android works, it can't be changed without root. It is explained in the app description.
[Android Apps and Games] owe2003:
Oh. My bad
[Android Apps and Games] owe2003:
Hi. I didn't see if this was said yet, but you can block the notification from showing in the notification drawer and the app still won't be killed. Just long press the notification until the info icon shows up on the right. Click it and then click the Block switch in the next screen. That's the easiest way, but I think you can only do that with Lollipop. However, with Jelly Bean and above (Maybe even before JellyBean?) you can just go to Settings -> Apps -> SwiftOpen (or any app) and uncheck Show Notifications. I've done this for many apps that needed to keep a notification so Android didn't kill it.
[Android Apps and Games] mrjimyjohn:
I'm pretty sure the "block" switch has the same function as the show notifications checkbox. If you have the notification enabled, then use your method to block it, the show notifications checkbox will automatically untick if you check in the app info.
[Android Apps and Games] owe2003:
Yes, I know they do same thing, but I believe the block switch is only available in Lollipop. So I also provided the second method to cover all bases.
[Android Apps and Games] lotdrops:
Update 0.7.3

I believe the app does get killed if you remove the notification. At least it happens in the N5 with which I have tested it.

Fixed in v0.7.3. Thanks for reporting this bug!

You can remove the labels now! :) sorry for the delay

The launch on boot bug has been fixed. Thanks for mentioning it!

1: multi selection is here!!

2: backup/restore is here too!

Does the app still get killed while rearranging the apps, in v0.7.3?

Multi select and backup added!!

About the glitch, do you mean that the border detector appears at the top left of the screen and moves to its position? If it is that, it is a known bug.

Multiple selection is here!
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
New version is great, nice to see the additions. Not especially intuitive trying to set up folders using multi select. Got there in the end though.
[Android Apps and Games] jshare:
Need to update the thread title :)
[Android Apps and Games] theJackalope:
Update is simply awesome

Really nice update! (0.7.3)

- Multiple selection of apps to add to the grid works perfectly, very intuitive

- Changelog just after updating the app is something every app should have, nice work on that

- And last but not least, drag and drop was a must and now we have it.

Keep it up, this app is awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] dracool84:
Nice and useful addition. I'm already using the app on regular basis now. Good job!
[Android Apps and Games] Phiraptor:
I'd also really appreciate icon support. Like the tool a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] gluni:
Gest app! Any chance to get volume up/down of some sort? Maybe in shortcuts?

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] Fruktsallad:
Great app, thank you! Actually works faster than my previous alternative, SwipePad.

However, I greatly miss the ability to have the detection bar on both sides simultaneously. For added usefulness, the option to use different pads from different sizes would also be great.

May I ask the ETA on open sourcing? And why not publish on the Play Store?

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] akaStric:
Hello

Just downloaded and started using this today.

I can see already that it's going to become a permanent addition to my phone.

Tnx a lot man, gj :)
[Android Apps and Games] lotdrops:
awesome to hear that! :D

it's coming soon, hopefully in the next update! ;)

I have planned adding that as well as brightness.

Having more than one bar will come, but it'll take some time. And the same for pads with different sizes.

About open sourcing and play store, I'll open source it when I consider it ready to be published to the play store, which will take between 3 and 10 weeks. I wanted to do it some time ago but developing has been slower than I expected, and users demanded several features I considered worth adding.
[Android Apps and Games] danividalg:
Recent Apps

Hi,

First of all thanks for this great app! :D

I want to report a possible bug and request a new feature:

Possible bug:

- When I use the alt-tab button it does not really work well. It's hard to explain, I will try explain with an example:

- I'm on QuickPic (a gallery app)

- I select some photos and share it with whatsapp

- Once the photos are sent to the person, I want to go back to QuickPic to continue sharing more photos.

- I use alt-tab button on SwiftOpen and QuickPic app opens, but the problem is that it seems that it is opened a new "instance" (intent/activity) of the QuickPic app and the previous selection of photos is lost. In fact, if then I "click" on back button then the previous "instance" (intent/activity) of QuickPic is shown and I can see the previous selection of photos that I had shared.

- I have tried to add this two apps to SwiftOpen and if I use this app buttons instead of the alt-tab button then it works perfectly.

- If I use the recent tasks menu of the phone to switch between the apps it works ok too.

Feature request:

- It could be great if SwiftOpen can put recent apps buttons. It could be something like when setting a new button function, in addition to the actual options ("app", "shortcut", "alt-tab", ...) it can show a new cathegory called "recents" and then select the number in the recent list, something like "1st Recent", "2nd Recent, ... Then I can set one, two or whatever number of buttons of recent apps I need that will be filled with the first, second, ..., apps in the list of recent apps.

What do you think about this?

Thanks and best regards :)
[Android Apps and Games] lotdrops:
Thank you very much for your feedback!

I'm aware that with alt-tab apps are not launched in the previous state. I don't know how to fix it, but I hope I'll find out. What is odd is if launching them from the shortcut has a different behaviour than launching with alt-tab; I'll check it but the behaviour should be the same.

About the recents, it is planned, and in the short term!

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] danividalg:
Ok, I will be waiting the recents update :D

Thanks and best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] #Henkate:
Very useful app! Thank you alot!

[MENTION=3998102]lotdrops[/MENTION]

First, i want to say thank you very much for this app :) .

Review / My opinion:

In my opinion it does a great job. It use about 15 MB ram. Last night i had 58% battery and i kept this app running in background and today, in the morning, i had same battery percent. So, it seems that it doesn't drain battery.

I downloaded the latest version released. I encountered one bug: when i want to change the place of an shortcut, the app crash, but shortcut get moved. I sent an e-mail with the crash log.
[Android Apps and Games] lotdrops:
Hi! Thanks for the feedback.

In all the devices I've tested, the battery drain is always below 1%. The ram usage could get better though, and it will increase as you add more apps and more grids.

I'll look into the crash report!
[Android Apps and Games] owe2003:
When the grid size is 6 rows and above, dark lines show up where the app names are. See attached screenshot.

Edit: The issue only comes up in Tablet mode and when "Remove action bar" is unchecked.
[Android Apps and Games] Aazeb:
How'd you fix the delay of 5 seconds?

Could you please share.
[Android Apps and Games] Phiraptor:
Besides icon pack support, icon size customization would be a good thing too.
[Android Apps and Games] aravindsagar:
Where is the delay experienced?
[Android Apps and Games] Aazeb:
On the homescreen. App drawer and all is perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] aravindsagar:
Unfortunately there's no fix for that. It's built into the Android system.

What I meant was launching your own activity can take 5 sec delay, and that problem is not there if you use windowManager and add views to it ("Draw over other apps"). Which I guess you're already doing.
[Android Apps and Games] Aazeb:
Oh I get it. Thanks anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] aravindsagar:
You could take a look at how home screen replacements (launchers) launch apps. You can make your app act as a launcher, calling the previous default launcher whenever home key is pressed. It's a long shot, but worth a try.

Edit: AOSP launcher source in googlesource: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Launcher2/

Using the recent calls to make a call back call causes the app to turn off after you hang up the phone. Enabling the app then causes it to crash. Bug report on the way. How is the recents app supposed to function? It doesn't really do anything for me. Everything else seems to be working.
[Android Apps and Games] handgun50:
The new version is awesome :o. Keep improving
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
Excellent app. Would really like to see icon masking support where if an icon isn't supported by an icon pack a mask is applied to give it the same sort of look. This feature is available in most launchers. Many thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] danividalg:
I'm using irecent calls without problem.

Are you restricting permission to the app to access recent calls and/or contacts?
[Android Apps and Games] lotdrops:
I'll look into it, but not yet. It will take more hours than I have available, right now.

I have answered the calls issue in the bug report. I don't know why does it happen and if it occurs to anyone else it will be helpful to know it.

About the recent apps, each recent-app-cell points to one of the last apps launched, from left to right and top to bottom (e.g. if you add 4 cells in one grid, you get access to the last 4 apps).

If it does not work: prior to Lollipop, it may only get the apps launched from the last boot. In lollipop it requires app usage permission to be enabled manually (it should have been asked when you installed the app).

If it is not any of these cases please send me an email with more details to figure out what's going on.

App self update will come when I launch it to play store (through the play store). This should be in one or two updates. It's a hassle having to download from xda with each update, but self update would mean a lot of coding for something that most users will have in the play store or f-droid. If someone wants to do it when I make the app open source, it will be more than welcome.

Both sides will come, but probably not in the next version.

I know the THL doesn't have 4G and the Doogee doesn't have 3G but I live in rural Britain so this is not really an issue for me as I can hardly ever get a 3G signal and I am not subscribed to a 4G service either as it's not that important to me as I would rarely get the opportunity to use it.
