[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Amazing how you keep developing this app!

My request:

A menu for the shortcuts in a folder (on long press):

- Custom icon (icon or picture from gallery would be awesome)

- Rename

- ... maybe more? ...

Now the only thin i can do is delete (when i long press a shorcut).

I hope it's clear enough
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yep, very clear thank you!

I'll add in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
New v. 2.0.3 beta

new tab google play rt detailed info (app details)

folder shortcuts editing (folders)

folder settings background color (folders)

stability improvement (general)
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Wow, fast and great update!

Been playing with it, works good.

BUT i can not remove a shortcut anymore from a folder (missing the DELETE option :cyclops: )

I'll make some good screenshots and show how i use your Program and the shortcuts in combination with other programs :)

Another request:

I love the folders as you van guess, resize, zoom :good:

Maybe if possible other views? Listview (like sidebar), option to choose font size, more?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
The trash icon, in the shortcut edit popup, actually deletes the shortcut from the folder.... maybe i should find a better place to avoid confusion :)
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Oh, I tested some more and it was simple my complete BLACK background why i didn't see it; problem solved for me, up to you if you wanna change anything :)

Screenshots attached (on my phone with black background i could not see the text)
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
It's a bug, the icon should be tinted to make it always visibile. I'll fix in the next build
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Still playing and testing, another bug found i guess.

I can not set a custom icon for a App (shortcut works fine).

The option is there (Long press a app - set icon) but it doesn't work not a icon or a image.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Improved letter bar

Added option to move search button on the bottom toolbar

Automatic dark theme switching during the night period

Info button now is hidden in multiselection if items selected are 0 or more than 1

Experimental: Jina is now hidden from the recent apps list

Bug fixed: keyboard not hidden on exit from the main list view

Bug fixed: list position reset on exiting detail view in multiselection mode

Bug fixed: games category not assignable from multiselection

Bug fixed: unable to change back to app gender if game gender is selected
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Favourite apps are kept on top of the list regardless of sorting criteria (other than sort by name)
[Android Apps and Games] umetnic:
Bug: created Games shortcut for category with 46 games… thats how it looks when I run the shortcut from Nova desktop. I have custom DPI of 390.

It's scrollable only up and down.

Bug2: time theme change does nothing as of yet…
[Android Apps and Games] umetnic:
Hide/Show T9 now works. U might replace the left arrow with arrow pointing down, since the T9 will go down after pressing it… ;). Left could be confused with Back(space) etc…
[Android Apps and Games] umetnic:
One more reason to remove input rectangle above keyboard ;)
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
Not here.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
which sort by criteria are you using? Do you see the heart icon next to the apps you marked as favourites?

I was not able to reproduce the problem
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Can you try to restart jina after changing the time interval? The dark theme is applyed when jina is started or resumed, not while it is shown
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
"Name" .. and yes I see the icon.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
ah ok i was not clear before: by "other than name" i meant "except sort by name".

that's because forcing an app position would messed up the letter bar behaviour
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
I actually overread that hint .. sorry!

So not being able to favorite apps in that mode would good ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
The last alpha8 version should be better.

I have expanded the touchable area of the scrollbar and the 3 dot app menu is now disabled when the letterbar is shown
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Did you set DPI per app with xposed?
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
Yes .. it's much better .. thanks!

You can improve more if you make it appear instantly when you touch the letter bar region. Currently if I touch and swipe I scroll the apps but I expect to already be swiping over letters. If I want to scroll apps I usually touch the middle of the display. Hope this can be understood.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
More improved letter bar

Desktop folder icons are resizable, per single folder (icons x row)
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Try latest alpha9, it should do that ;)
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
Excellent... small bug left.. bar disappears if you keep swiping. I guess it should stay visible until you leave it.

But .. actually there is no reason to fade out anymore ;)

And .. why not give "last updated" (and maybe other modes) the same kind of space even though it's a slider and not the letter bar?
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
Interesting .. the shortcuts I make with Jina have a white background - while the ones I pull out of the app drawer are transparent.

Also interesting .. Jina doesn't show system apps even though the checkbox is checked e.g. I cannot find "telephone" in the app list.

Also recently installed this one and the app doesn't show: look-here
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yes you are right, i have to fix the early fade.

I really didn't understand why there is a different space, it is not my choice and the code should be the same, i'll investigate :)

I'd prefere to keep the "fade out" because i use the letter bar shown/hidden as a flag to disable/enable the 3 dot menu.

White background is a a bug that affect all apps added after jina installation, try to set/reset the app icon and the white background will go away. I'll fix today.

This is more complex than it could appear. It is not connected to the system apps, it is closely related to the phone app itself (and maybe some other samsung customized apps).

If you look at Phone app's system info (starting from nova or another launcher), you'll notice that the app is shown as "Contacts" and has a different icon (the same you find in JINA).

I suspect that launchers "force" icon, app name and aunch parameters, but i have to investigate. If you notice another app like this one please tell me.

About the 6thGear Reboot i was not able to reproduce the problem, how did you install? Try to the "Refresh Installed Apps" function in Jina (not the Reload DB) and let me know if it appears.
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
Like it sais in that thread ...

1. open root enable file explorer

2. Copy app to /system/priv-app

3. Give permissions 644

4. Reboot
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
This one should fix both: app icon change from folders/sidebar and shortcutd edit background in folder.
[Android Apps and Games] huladaddy:
For JINA Sidebar, do we need to enable Notification Icon to prevent the app from being killed on 6.0.1?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yes it will help although it is not guaranteed that android will not kill the Sidebar if short on resources.

It is also important to exclude Jina from doze, specially on samsung devices.

Did you notice that the sidebar is killed frequently on your phone?
[Android Apps and Games] huladaddy:
I don't know, I just discovered your app today.

Good info about excluding apps from doze. I didn't know that. Oh, wait. Is that the battery optimisation option in Battery settings?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yep
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Both fixed

Hi, both bugs fixed, good work again :)
[Android Apps and Games] FerroFlux:
Any chance of getting an app drawer layout like the one from CM 12.1 such as this? The horizontal scroll at the bottom is very useful
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yes i think it is possible. Is the list scrolling still vertical ? (it is long time i don't try a CM rom)
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:

Lot of internal changes, to ensure a more user friendly experience on very first launch... hope i didn't break too much :)
[Android Apps and Games] FerroFlux:
Yes the app list still scrolls vertically. The horizontal bar just lets you keep your thumb/finger on the bottom of the screen and/or select a letter directly. Great work on this app once again!

[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Would you like if i put the sidebar command bar to the bottom?
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
Sure I would like it and appreciate.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
shortcuts repository?

shortcuts repository

What are you making? Just curious :)
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
It's a secret :cool:

Joking of course :) It's just a common place where Jina stores all system shortcuts you create inside folders.

This way if you want to add an existing shortcut to a different folder you can just choose it inside Jina instead of creating a new one.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:

[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Awesome update!

i'm working much with shorcuts. Now i can manage them in one central place.

Now the shorcuts are visible in the drawer,

Could it be possible to asign tags to a shorcut?

That way i can "move" a shorcut fom one tag folder to another instead of re-create it.

Also it would be nice that 1 shortcut could have.more then 1 tag.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yes it could be possibile, but i'm trying to change a little the folders management process...

I'll post soon a proposal so we could check together if the shortcuts/tags association will be still useful.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
New v. 2.1.0 b553

new live folders: favourite apps, most used, last used, and last played games

added new menu entry JINA Shortcuts (drawer) and the related shortcuts creation (i.e. new classic drawer icon)

improved prefetch icons on startup, it is now the default option (drawer/sidebar/folders)

Please tell me also if the list scrolling is not smooth.

Not yet included the bottom letterbar like trebuchet drawer (sorry [MENTION=1055878]FerroFlux[/MENTION], it is not a fast implementation but i didn't forget)

[Android Apps and Games] Ritpat:
Awesome app

Sir great app.. Keep rocking. But how to hide the top bar plz help sir
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Only bottom bar can be hidden, too much work, much more than it could appear, to hide the topbar...
[Android Apps and Games] Ritpat:
Find out few things

The transparent black theme is a bit light looks grayish can u make it a bit more dark black..

Also plz sir try to hide the top bar it will give a proper feel of system app drawer although great work on hiding the bottom bar and adding a different icon of app drawer and giving the option to change the name of jinna app drawer to only app drawer keep going man.... Nice work

The icon in side bar are very small how to make them bigger

Also i cannot launch sidebar from swipe how to do it. I have to click on sidebar icon..

Whenever i resizing the sidebar icon become very small

Also plzz till u cannot hide the top sidebar make it transparent at least simultaneous with dark transparent theam

And one more suggestion give a option of horizontal of horizontal scrolling
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
To change the sidebar icons size do you use the handler (up/down) ?

About the sidebar, when you enable the sidebar everywhere in the setting, can you see the activation hotspot blinking?
[Android Apps and Games] Ritpat:
Few things to consider plz

Sidebar bar working absolutely fine

App however taking more ram consumptionafter i start using sidebar

Few suggestions if u could work out

1) make transparent theme opaque

2) separate theme option for sidebar and drawer

3)make top bar hide plzz

4) horizontal and vertical scrolling with animation

Thanka for the great app.. Helping me lot on xiaomi device with no app drawer of there own
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Transparent black theme requires a dark background to look fine, that's why you see it greyish.

Indeed in the b558 i raised a bit the opacity level and i made possibile to full control the sidebar opacity also for the new theme using the sidebar settings.

v. 2.1.0 b558 changelog:

Customizable transparent black theme opacity (sidebar only)

Improved installations/uninstallations listener (general)

[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
Two suggestions:

1. Drawer everywhere icon: Hide on long press

2. Drawer search: stack from bottom as in Sidebar

Awesome app. Thanks for continued support and new features.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Thank you [MENTION=4366797]blackscorpio06[/MENTION]!

Is the drawer everywhere button working fine on your phone? Is it laggy?
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
Yes it is a bit laggy on both accounts: opening the drawer and loading of apps list.

And I have another suggestion, I am contemplating if it makes sense or not but here it is: Floating and re sizable drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Also on my phone :(

And there is a deep problem behind that behavior i don't know yet how to solve...

When the user press the home key, for example to leave an app launched by jina, android forbid the overlayed views (like the jina everywhere) to start a new activity for up to 5 seconds.

You can notice this if you launch an app from the sidebar everywhere, from this app you press the home key and then try to start again the sidebar everywhere by swiping: you will have to wait 5 seconds before the sidebar is available.

If you exit the launched app using the back key, and start the sidebar by a swipe, it will be shown almost immediately.

If you start the sidebar from an home shortcut the security check is not triggered and the sidebar will be shown immediately regardless the way you exit the previous app.

It is an android security "feature" not avoidable by a non system app.

Other sidebars, like Swapps for example, don't suffer from this because everything is managed by the overlayed view (it is not totally exact but can make an idea).

Jina is too big and complex to adopt the same strategy so, until i don't find a solution, anything overlayed will risk to be laggy

Changing the subject, [MENTION=628601]bigchrizzieboy[/MENTION] the next version will bring the speed dial menu also to the folders and the drawer, and [MENTION=1055878]FerroFlux[/MENTION] i didn't forget the trebuchet letterbar ;)
