[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Hi! By "custom fg color shade" you mean the option shown in the image attached? And by "shortcuts for additional entry points"? Thanks! :D
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yep, the fg color option was already present in the previous beta, in this version i added a shade to the text if there is a background image set (to improve the readability).

The additional entry points are the activities not exposed by default by apps (see screenshot): in this version if you long press on an entry point you can create a shortcut that points directly to this entry point

.
[Android Apps and Games] Jinnn92:
God bless you ;D I understand why you may not want to mess with root features but since there is already an option to freeze a single app, it wouldn't make much difference,would it?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Maybe I did not understand, with freeze you mean the force stop or the freeze of the system app?

Now the force stop is now not done directly by JINA, but from the system ui, after JINA has shown it to the user.

For batch kills the system ui can not be used and JINA should kill the apps on its own.
[Android Apps and Games] Jinnn92:
I'm sorry I didn't realize it's called differently. I mean disabling apps,there's already an option to do disable an app in it's details (requires root).

What I asked for is an option to disable multiple apps at once when you select th with "more..."
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I'm not sure and can't test right now but since "disable/freeze" is for system apps the same as "uninstall" (for JINA) it is possibile that it already works.

If you select multiple system apps and then choose "uninstall" from the context menu it should disable/freeze them (again, i'm not sure :o)
[Android Apps and Games] Jinnn92:
I meant batch disabling user apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Hi! Just to report some issues related to home shortcuts creating. I've tried it with 4 different launchers and only one worked properly (Microsoft Launcher). On native EMUI launcher and Nova Launcher, they are not created. And on AIO Launcher, when you add apps shortcuts to the home screen and then you open them from there, most of them are not shown in Recents and some of them are not opened when you touch them. Using other apps, I am able to create and use them properly in AIO and EMUI. Nova behavior is strange, I couldn't do it with any app (it only let me do it dragging and dropping apps from its drawer)...

Do you think something could be done about it? Thank you very much in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Does it happen when you create the shortcuts from any JINA screen, also from the drawer?

[Android Apps and Games] Richy19:
Is there anyway to hide the bottom toolbar?
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Yes, it does ?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Long press on the floating search button

Inviato dal mio SM-G965F utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I have to check the code because it doesn't happen to me using nova, i'll do when I'll be back home.

Can you tell me an app that can't be launched by the shortcut please?

Inviato dal mio SM-G965F utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Richy19:
That's almost perfect! Except it resets when I re-open the drawer
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Strange, it should remember the last state until the app is not killed. Do you have the drawer set to start in search mode?

Inviato dal mio SM-G965F utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] Richy19:
Ahh found the issue, I had the "put search button into bottom toolbar" turned on, disabling that and it remembers fine
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Here you have four screen recordings with three different launchers: Microsoft (works properly), AIO ("recents" issue and opening issue) and Nova (doesn't work). I used Google News and Messenger as examples. I hope it helps! Let me know if you need something else! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] r0lZ:
I have no problem creating and using the shortcuts under EMUI. (I don't use anymore Nova since I know Jina!) However, under Android Nougat, the shortcut icons looked perfect, just like the shortcuts created from the EMUI drawer, but since the recent update to Android 8 Oreo, they are forced within a round shape and there is a small Jina logo in the bottom right. Furthermore, the shortcuts created by Jina are no longer automatically removed when an app is uninstalled. That's Android "improvements" not directly related to Jina, and we must live with them. Now, I use the stock drawer to create the shortcuts on the home screen, and only for that.

I'm using Jina 3.2.1b1133 with my Huawei P8 lite 2017 under Oreo 8.0.0 and the stock EMUI 8.0.0.
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Yes, there is no problem under EMUI Launcher if you have enabled the native apps drawer. But the issue comes when you have chosen standard home screen (without apps drawer). Screen recording attached. It could be an EMUI limitation, but using other apps I am able to create shortcuts.

My device is Honor 8 running Android 7.0/EMUI 5.0.1 and Jina 3.2.1b1136.1807311454.
[Android Apps and Games] r0lZ:
Well, does it make sense to create new shortcuts on the Home screen when you use the default home screen, à la iPhone, without drawer ? The system is supposed to create a shortcut for you for all new apps anyway, and normally, you cannot either remove them or create new ones. It's why I prefer to use the home screen with drawer, and I create shortcuts only for 2 or 3 apps I often need, and I let the Jina drawer handle the other apps. The only problem is that there is no way to remove the useless stock drawer. (But as I wrote above, it is still necessary under Oreo to create new standard shortcuts.)

IMO, the default mode without drawer is simply unusable, especially if you have installed many apps, and I prefer an (almost) empty home screen plus the wonderful power of Jina.
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
You can use the default home screen and hide those apps you don't want to be there (by pinching out gesture). So, you can remove the stock drawer and have an empty home screen. That's why it makes sense to create new shortcuts on the home screen when you use the default one ;)
[Android Apps and Games] r0lZ:
That doesn't work with EMUI 8.0. Pinching out just displays the configuration options of the home screen, just like when you long press an empty area. And from that screen, the only way to hide a shortcut is to uninstall the app.

AFAIK, the default home screen mode mimics an iPhone, where ALL shortcuts MUST be visible, as there is no way to launch them by other means. If your version allows you to hide a shortcut, how are you supposed to launch the app (without a third party app like Jina)? So, if it's possible, it's probably a EMUI bug, and I'm not surprised that you experience strange problems with the shortcuts created by Jina.
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Are you sure? I attach another screen recording showing how to do it. Make sure you have standard home screen enabled, because it does not work with the stock drawer enabled. And make sure you are doing the right gesture, because there are two pinching gestures, as you can see in the video.

Without a third party app, you can go to the hidden apps screen and open a hidden app from there. Anyway, I can create shortcuts using other apps like My APK (I attach a video showing it too), and it doesn't matter if the app is hidden or not, it will create a new shortcut or a second one. It would be great Jina could do it too.

But it's not an isoleted EMUI issue. Other launchers experience problems creating shortcuts with Jina too (check previous post). Although I can create shortcuts using other apps, my intention here is to collaborate with Jina and its dev, reporting bugs or suggesting new features, to make it even better ?
[Android Apps and Games] r0lZ:
Well, my EMUI definitely doesn't work like yours. There is absolutely no way to add or remove a shortcut when using the "no drawer" stock launcher, and no way to show the "hidden apps". My system is younger than yours, and it seems that Huawei has simplified its launcher. Now, you have to use it exactly like an iPhone (and it's terrible!) or you must accept the drawer, even with Jina.

Anyway, I think we are now completely OT, sorry for that. I just wanted to note that the problem you have might be a limitation of the stock launcher in no drawer mode. I don't know why you have similar problems with third party launchers as well, but I can't help on that subject. Jina is now my launcher of choice, and I still use the EMUI launcher simply because I can't remove it and it is necessary to have an home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Not OT at all. I think this discussion is very interesting because i'm not familiar with EMUI ROMs.

[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
I could find the cause of the Nova issue! As I had changed my default launcher, I had put Nova out from the battery optimization whitelist, in order to prevent it to run on the background. Now I have returned to Nova, added it to the whitelist and Jina works properly creating shortcuts ? The issues on the rest of the launchers are still unchanged.
[Android Apps and Games] riowong:
Close Folder After Launching An App is malfunctioned, which currently couldn't keep the folder opened after launching an app.

There are too many settings and is too hard to get back to the specific setting. I would suggest a setting name lookup field to let user jump to the setting section intelligently for reconfiguration.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Welcome!

Can you please check if the folders are not kept open both when you use the back button to close the app and when you use the home button? (see the video attached)

You're right on the settings, there are many and it is difficult to navigate. I've been trying to simplify them for a long time, the lookup field might be a good idea, I'll work on it.

Disable Jina's logo on the lower right side of created shortcuts

Hi,

Thanks for this app, I really like it. Distinguishes itself from others...

But I've some questions:

- Everytime I create a new shortcut trough the three dots option+'create shortcut', a little image of the jina's logo is appended in every bottom right side of the shortcut. How can I disable it ?

- It is possible to personalize the context menu (accessed by long pressing the desired app) for the add shortcut to appear directly there ?

- why the 'more' (last option) for this menu does NOTHING ? (weird!)

Thx!
[Android Apps and Games] Jinnn92:
God bless you for adding batch disable option :good:
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Very sorry for the late reply but i missed your post :o

The little image is added by android on 8+, the only way to avoid it is to create the shortcuts directly from the launcher.

I can add an option to move the "create shortcut" command directly on the context menu (but it will not solve the little image problem)

The "more" option on the context menu should start a multi selection showing a toolbar with several commands (included the create shortcut). Don't you see the toolbar when you press more?

Again, sorry for the delay
[Android Apps and Games] observingman:
Options

Hello,

Thanks again for your help. I understand now the 'little image' problem. It does not matter as long as I can xhange the image from the launcher after it is created.

Also, I haven't noticed the toolbar appearing when the 'more' option was pressed; I see it now ?

Great job, thanks !

This update keeps force closing about 10 seconds after launching.

Using Huawei Mate 10 Pro, Android 8.0

Added screen recording of the issue.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Need some help because i can't reproduce the problem on my devices.

I have to go for trial and error, can you try this build please?
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
This 1 doesn't work... Next [emoji54]
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Do you have the overlay service (hotspots) enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
Not in JINA, but I am using Gesture Control app to launch JINA...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.conena.navigation.gesture.control
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I don't think that could be the cause, it is something related to a background service restriction on the new android libraries.

Try this one please. I removed an automatic check for missed apps when JINA starts.
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
No luck with this one either.

Is there something I can do to try and capture the crash details /log?

Does this help?

See attachment.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Don't know... i'm already receiving your crash reports through Google but they are not useful :(

Try this version please and check if, before the crash, the app is able to show (also for a moment) a J in the notification area.

Edit: A question, i see in the adb log that the error occurred for example at 11:48:54 and then at 11:49:07 and then at 11:49:49.

Did you try 3 times to restart manually the app or it was only a single manual launch?
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
Hi,

Thanks for your efforts, no luck with this one.

I remember manually trying to start JINA twice but sometimes it seems like the app is trying to restart as I can see a very quick (less than a second) dialogue box flash on screen shortly after the crash

Yes I do see the J notification before & after the crash.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Thanks a lot for your help and patience :o

The problem is that the crash doesn't occur directly inside the JINA code but it looks like it is caused by a library used by JINA and only on Huawei and HTC roms, unfortunately the logs don't tell much about who and where.

Indeed, let's try again
