I prefer to use only ONE hotspot and the most useful feature for me the sidebar everywhere with search mode on startup, I use search 75% times. But I think it is nice to have that optional setting anyway.

On another note:

I can't thank you much, since I started using it, I forgot what HOME screen looks like (I am not a big fan of widgets).

And I posted about JINA in couple places, i don't remember where, though.

A BIG thanks to you.

Right now, my most favorite features are : Sidebar everywhere, favorites on top, search on start. I won't look elsewhere as long as this list is undisturbed.

I have installed the beta(later I reverted to an older version coz of this favorites thingy) and have noticed some "good to have" features, will post asap, nothing major though.

What do you think guys, is the last version stable enough for the play store?
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
Looks like sorting is not working fine, check screen shots:

Tapatalk launch count : 32

Phone launch count : 54

but Tapatalk is listed above the Phone , when the sorting method selected is "Most used"

I am missing something :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
Got it. sorting on USAGE rather than launch count. May be time to add another method "Most Frequent" :D
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yep, sorting is by usage time and don't forget that you also have the flag favorites on top set ;)

I noticed something really strange only on a samsung S7 emulator: immediately after installation, the Jina accessibility service was not listed among the services available until the emulator was rebooted.

Someone with a real s7 had this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
Yes, I expected it to sort twice, once for the favorites and sort the rest of the apps and show them under the favorites. Isn't it right?

May be a setting or permanently move the favorite bar to the bottom in the Jina Drawer.

Not good since the update :(

It's not good since the update, first can you do that it is not the app launcher that starts but rather the folder of the favorites, because when you stay on another application for a long time after it gets you back on the menu launcher which has become not good, and secondly you can put an option where you can have the application launcher as before, because there is more option when you make long presses in the favorites bar, you should do a trick where you can sort applications by favorites, the bar of favorites that you put up is really not practical, since applications are hidden on the side and then there are not options, the option that I use the most is to go into the settings of an application for do force stop.

It's really important, Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi and welcome,

you can set the option "folders view as home" to always open the drawer folders each time you start the app.

Not sure to understand why you think the drawer has become not good, it has the same functions as before, still long press to show the context menu, multiselect and so on, the favorite bar is a just an additional quick launch area.

Maybe you would like that favorites apps are kept always on top (in the drawer) in each sort as it is in the full sidebar?

[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I'm not sure there is much you can do about it but here is an annoying conflict concerning the hotspots and nearby underlying objects on a small phone screen.

Sometimes it is difficult to click on a small edge object located partially under one of the hotspots. Of course I can move the hotspot to access it but that is a nuisance. What would be ideal would be if the hotspots were sensitive to sliding (to open), to long touch (to move the hotspot) but transparent to quick touch which would not interfere with what is in its vicinity.

Probably not feasible but I thought to mention it.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I think it is not possibile, but i'll check
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I didn't think so and I can live with it. Just thought to mention it.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I'm not sure it s possible or not (but didn't check yet). My first thought was on security issues, to understand if you are sliding or not jina must intercept all the touch events in the hotspot area. If she acts as middle man with the apps below, she could become a sort of keylogger... don't know.

Indeed don't forget you can blacklist some apps to hide automatically, the hotspots when those apps are in foreground.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Excellent. I had forgotten about blacklisting some apps. That will probably solve my problem.

Just tried it and it's what I needed because the conflict only occurs in 1-2 apps. I had never used the blacklist before. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] xjumix:
Problem

Ok for the first thing, I'll try thank you.

For the second thing, the favorites are put in the new bar top that you added and when we pressed long, there is no option as before and then there are hidden apps on the side, it would be nice to be able to disable this bar top and to put the favorites like before in the list, but it is true that before there was a problem, it was that we could not choose the order of the favorites as we want in the app launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Ok i understand,

just try the 3.0.1 few posts above because i have added exactly the option to hide the topbar and show the favorites on top as before in the drawer

FYI

There's a problem with using the blacklist. I blacklisted an app "Freecell".

1.The Jina triggers still appear most of the time.

2. Freecell regularly becomes unresponsive and needs to be closed.

Just fyi
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Thanks, does it happen with that app only?

Can you check if the Jina accessibility service is enabled when the hotspots doesn't hide?
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Freecell is the only app I've blacklisted.

Accessibility service is not on. Should it be?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yes it must be on. Is the accessibility service that let Jina know which app is currently in foreground.

Didn't jina ask to switch it on to access the blacklist settings?

Also note that without that service, all usage related informations will be blank or unreliable.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I don't recall it Jina asked me to turn accessibility on or not. But I just turned it on and so far so good. I'll let you know if problems reappear.

Thanks.

EDIT

with accessibility on, phone rebooted, blacklisting still does not dependably hide the Jina triggers.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
can you check if it is really on in the system menu?

[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Blacklist is now working again. Keeping fingers crossed.

OK, figured it out now. Freecell is a solitaire type game. When I first start it, blacklist works. But if it is already open because I left it unfinished and go back to it after another activity, then Jina triggers don't disappear.

Not a major problem. Just fyi.

It was favorites on sidebar. When I clicked on an app icon it became selected and a small arrow appeared in the icon top corner. Maybe I did something wrong. I think I may have gone into the settings before that behavior. Not sure.

I am now using the previous version.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
ok i figured out what happened, you pressed the back key instead of the close arrow while you were in selection mode and the sidebar closed the command bar without resetting the selection mode.

i'll add a check to prevent this happening again in the next version.

This app is absolutely fantastic. Still discovering unknown features. Just great!

Because I would hate to miss some feature or other, let me ask:

I have a couple of Firefox bookmarks on a side screen. Is it possible to add such a bookmark (or browser opening to that url) to the sidebar?

Just wondering.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
you can add as shortcuts to the favorites sidebar, at root level or nested into a dedicated folder

★ touches outside the favorite sidebar are no more forwarded to the background
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
I tried before asking you but could not do it. I'm talking about a url bookmark, not an app.

When I

1. Click the + in the sidebar

2. Select add shortcut

The panel that opens up contains apps and folders. But no bookmarks placed on the home screen by Firefox. And of course dragging the shortcut into the sidebar does not work because the sidebar immediately closes.

Incidentally while attempting this using the latest build I discovered a problem with the app labels being invisible (see attached image). That's new.

***Edit:

The label problem in the image fixed itself after a phone reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
It is because firefox behaves different from the stock launcher, the video below shows the shortcuts list with the default browser.

You could try some shortcuts management app (More Shortcuts for example but you have to manually write the url), i think [MENTION=628601]bigchrizzieboy[/MENTION] is more experienced and maybe could give some tip.

Wow, have been busy, what a developing here

Hi,

Sorry, busy at work so no time for Jina lately.

I will make some usefull screenshots / youtube movies regarding shortcuts and FREEware programs.

Here in a nutshell

PowerToggles - Open Shortcuts TO jina folders / sidebar / directly from notication-screen or widget

More Shortcuts - Add a shortcut IN Jina, choose More Shortcuts and you can link to almost everything.

Total Commander - Powerfull File Manager with many addons

Create a shortcut IN Jina and choose Total Commander, then you can create a shortcut directly to a folder (DOWNLOADS, FTP, DROPBOX)

are very Usefull in combination with Jina (and all freeware).

Amazing developing

How to use More Shortcuts inside Jina: (hope it's clear enough)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVmUcrRXFRA

[YOUTUBE]VVmUcrRXFRA[/YOUTUBE]

How to use More Shortcuts inside Jina:

Create a shortcut anywhere in Jina (i'm used to use Folders), choose More Shortcuts - pick what you want.

In the example video i use a bookmark

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.moreshortcuts

- Activities - Hidden activities cannot be access in launchers

- Contents - Opennable content such as Video, Photo, Audio, Documents and so on.

- Flash - Turn on the flash (camera light) when you click the shortcut.

- Screen off and lock

- Internet URL the one i used in the video.

- Ringer mode: mute, vibrate, normal

- wifi/mobile data: on/off (not supported on Lollipop)

- Bluetooth: on/off

- Expand notification/settings panel

- Open recent apps

- Screen brightness

- Advanced

- and so on...

[MENTION=628601]bigchrizzieboy[/MENTION] OK, you've finally completely convinced me! Even after our last discussion, I've still been using QuickShortcutMaker (partially because I'm so used to it, I think). After your post, I check QuickShortcutMaker and noticed it hadn't been updated in 3 years (that's equivalent to a century in Android time) and More Shortcuts is being actively developed. I've uninstalled QuickShortcutMaker and installed More Shortcuts, so I'll have to use and get used to it - I no longer have a choice!

Question.

I use the sidebar almost exclusively. Would it be complicated to have the option of two vertical rows of icons instead of one in the sidebar? The full drawer is more than I need.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
hmmm... not so easy, let me think about.
[Android Apps and Games] RichardTE:
I'm new to Jina, and it is an amazing piece of software, thank you so much!

One question I have is about 'live folders'. Can I create a live folder named 'Foo' from scratch, or does an existing default live folder (like 'Business') need to be renamed to 'Foo'? And also, can it contain a sub-folder named 'Bar'?

I'm asking about non-dynamic (static), nested folders in the favorites sidebar. Thx!

Update: I figured out what I needed to do. Create a tag ('Foo') & group together several apps or other items. Then convert the tag to a live folder. This is very powerful, allowing for nested live folders (Foo <~> Bar) on favorites sidebar & elsewhere. Very cool.
