Question.

So I've been using JINA Drawer for a few years and I love it. But I was messing with some settings in "look & feel" & I accidentally switched the "hide toolbar" setting and now I can't figure out how to unhide the toolbar cause I don't know how else to open the settings without the toolbar visible lol.

This happened to me once before but I can't remember how I figured it out.

So how can I alternatively access the settings & more specifically the "look & feel" menu after hiding the toolbar?

Help plz lol thanks yall
[Android Apps and Games] strangeFace:
Just launch the app like any other and then change settings.
[Android Apps and Games] strangeFace:
Thanks for the answer. I think it's a little counterintuitive, when you have self organising, dynamic folders, but their icon is static. Maybe consider a setting? On the other hand it's hard to imagine use case when someone doesn't want this icon to be refreshed after installing new app. In the same way it would be nice if dynamic folders disappeared when not in use (0 apps inside)

Beside that, JINA is great :)

I'm new to Jina Drawer. It seems like it is what I need to better manage my apps.

What's the difference between tags and categories, included how they interact with folders. And how is a live folder different from a regular folder?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Welcome.

Categories are exclusively those of the play store: 1 app has 1 playstore category.

Tags are categories + user defined labels: 1 app can have many tags

A live folder is a Folder (a container of apps, shortcuts or other folders) whose content can be managed automatically by JINA according to a rule.

i.e apps tagged with a certain tag, apps not tagged, games.

A regular folder is not linked to a tag and its content is fully user managed
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
To show the toolbars you can either:

- double tap (quickly) inside the drawer screen

- slide up your finger from the bottom of the screen

- slide your finger from the side of the screen to the center to show the main menu, then use the look & feel menu to change the toolbars visibility
[Android Apps and Games] netsaber2013:
Love the app. When I click the hotspot to open the sidebar Is there a way to set it to start in games? Or is it possible to remove the other "sidebars" and only hand games?

Thanks

Hi, Jina is a key app for my use case.

Possible to transfer back up from one phone (Note 9) to another phone ( Note 9 also) ?

I tried backing up the db from phone 1 and restoring on phone 2 . Did not work.

Also, how about transferring from one model to different model phone, like Note 9 to Note 20?

Thanks much!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
You can try the "export backup" function (App db management menu entry->cloud backup ) and then "import backup" on the new device.

Transferring to a different model could lead to some problems with the icons, but it is worth trying.
[Android Apps and Games] ew:
Is there a way to disable the prompt (after resize of a folder) that asks "Do you want to apply this size to all other widgets folders?"

I never answer yes to that - and I once did so accidently - and now I need to resize all of my folders back to what I want them to be. If I could turn that prompt off, I would like to do so, but not sure if that is available.
[Android Apps and Games] thankyouxda:
Thank you. I was thinking just importing the db on the new phone and restoring will create icons in the Jina drawer from which I can install the apps in the Play Store. I've realized it doesn't work. But got the l the folders and tags to transfer over. Best app drawer app BTW.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Don't remember exactly right now but there is a chance that the apps have been imported as "uninstalled" on the new phone.

You could check it using the funnel icon in the drawer's bottom toolbar, then choose "uninstalled apps".
[Android Apps and Games] secondminor:
Hello. I am a new user and very excited to use JINA. However I am a bit confused and would like to ask a question please. Can someone answer me thank you?

Is there a way to have either a folder/drawer/something in JINA have app names/text only with NO icons? I'd like a drawer/folder option that is simply NO icons visible, just text in a drawer/folder layout.

Is this possible in JINA? Please thank you so much. I have vision issues.

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] secondminor:
Is this app still developed and discussed here?
[Android Apps and Games] CoolRaoul:
The author (@bambapin ) just posted few days ago in the thread.
[Android Apps and Games] CoolRaoul:
Hello,

I've a question about the "search" function.

The "enter/return" key simply empties the search form.

I think it would more useful if it activated the first matching entry.

Could it be considered?
[Android Apps and Games] secondminor:
Raoul thank you for letting me know about the author. I guess it can take longer for feedback than just a few days. I'll keep waiting for a response to my question. Have a good day!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Here i am :) Sorry for the late answer but i'm very busy lately.

You can exclude the icon using the Look & Feel menu but it will work only in the Drawer and only using the "List View"
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yes it seems like an interesting suggestion.

Added to the todo list ;)
[Android Apps and Games] asalamm:
nice app, thanks for sharing!
[Android Apps and Games] CoolRaoul:
Hello @bambapin

Could it be possible that the search function includes in the results the apps for which the contents of the "notes" field matches the searched term ?
[Android Apps and Games] Tarvoznar:
Does Jina have a setting for the default icon shape? For an example, see the attached screenshot of the "Icon shape" section of Nova Launcher (Nova Launcher > Settings > Look & feel > Icon style > Icon shape). Yes, I know Jina is not a launcher; I'm just using the Nova screenshot to illustrate this type of setting.
[Android Apps and Games] strangeFace:
Hi, after one of the last updates I got some automatic folders duplicated. One is with category name all in capital letters like GAME_ARCADE, second has this name translated like Arcade. Apps are distributed between this two folders.

I've deleted Jina Drawer data, but it got even worse.
[Android Apps and Games] fredphoesh:
Hi

Any progress on making JINA work with themed icons for Pixel phones?

I've started using another app, Shortcut Maker, because it supports themed icons, but it's not as quick to put all your apps into category folders...

Please JINA, are you going to support themed icons, like Pix Material You Icons?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Joepic9:
GREAT app. I was using Folder Organizer which is no longer available. I am new to Jina Drawer and not sure of all of the features in Jina so what I am requesting may already be available.

1. In Jina is there a way to add the Transparent icon for a Folder?

Thanks

David
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
If you mean a folder icon on the home screen without the background, it depends on the launcher you are using.

Unlike FO, folders are shortcuts not widgets, so the home icon is basically managed by the launcher which usually adds a background frame. However, some launchers allow you to customize this behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] molitar:
Good app but how do I disable the drawer I only wanted the app folder widget to replace the non working folder organizer.
[Android Apps and Games] strangeFace:
Bump.
[Android Apps and Games] janszafranski:
Help!! I turned off the top and bottom bars in jina drawer and now cannot get to its settings, look and feel etc. How do I get access to this? I can still do it in sidebar... but there is no way to switch the settings from sidebar to drawer. Please please help
[Android Apps and Games] gorban:
Hello. Using Jina Folders on a Galaxy s23 Ultra. How do I add an app shortcut to the very bottom of the homescreen (the part with the 4 or 5 icons that remain static regardless of which home screen you are on. Usually they consist of phone, message, email, and browser icons) I can add one using shortcut widget onto mid to upper part of homescreen ... but it won't allow me to add one the lower part. I can add a folder there ... just not an app shortcut.
[Android Apps and Games] kcdubya:
I am running Jina on a Samsung Z Fold 3. I have multiple home screens. I see an experimental option under Overlay Services to enable the sidebar hotspots only on the default home screen. Is there a way to enable hotspots only on any home screen? That is, I do not want Jina enabled for any app, but want it enabled for all of the home screens. Of course, I could blacklist each app, but that is certainly tedious.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] SHRIRAMVERMA:
I have installed your jina app drawer six months ago. Very wonderful app in all satisfying means. But why it is CRASHING now regularly asking to reopen it. Very embarrassing. Pls send solution to this problem. Treat this very urgent. Pls get all my details from this xda id on google and my mobile is SAMSUNG J7 MAX. WAITING EAGERLY
[Android Apps and Games] Zebulon:
Hi everybody.

I use Jina since few years, but there is no update since 2021.

It's too bad because i think, this good software will died.

Do you know another software like Jina, always upadated today ?

Thank's.
[Android Apps and Games] igloohed73:
Looks like Jina has been abandoned at this point. Too bad but developers grow & move on. I'm guessing the target API is 30 for Jina which means eventually it will stop working or just be removed from the Play Store for not being current with updates. Still works great though & still the best imo. I'll continue to use it as long as I can! Thanks for an absolutely fantastic app!
[Android Apps and Games] aislar:
ohmy, so no more updates? for an app as amazing as jina, that's very sad.

thank you for the info, @igloohed73
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I'm sorry guys, it's not my intention to abandon JINA but, to adapt the code to the latest Google requirements, and release updates on the playstore there is really a lot of work to do and it takes a lot of time.

Also some features may no longer be available because JINA could no longer ask for some permissions that have become restricted (i.e. Backup & Install Apks and more).
[Android Apps and Games] jalyst:
Great to hear, extraordinary app; it sux that Google's making it harder for devs to create powerful apps for power users?!?

Do you think you'll have a release with the refactored code, by the end of this year? Your last release -of any kind- was in 2021.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yes, i should be able to release a new version targeting android 14 by the end of October.
[Android Apps and Games] Zebulon:
Yes, great news !

I am waiting for it.
[Android Apps and Games] Jubeichan:
I am new to Jina, really appreciate you sharing this amazing app with us. I am using Samsung Ultra S22 with the stock launcher, and Jina version# 3.5.5ga1358.2108022317.

What did you mean when you said you are abandoning this app?

I want to manage my apps into nested folders and some apps will have multiple categories. I tried taking advantage of existing auto-tagged folders or the ALL APPs folder (after converting it into a live folder) by adding them into another folder and editing them into a different folder. However, I cannot achieve my goal because everything I do (adding or deleting etc) in one folder will sync with the original folder or vice versa. Based on my needs, how can I implement it using Jina?

Although I am still learning but I can tell something is wrong because the sync problem reflected to any folders (live, regular, or existing), so I really don't see any difference between live folders and regular folders. Can you explain how they should be differ?

Can a folder be switch back and fore between live and classic folders at any time, how?

How do I bulk select to delete or tag apps? When I long press on an app in the drawer, folder or side bar they didn't initiate the bulk selection.

Thank you for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Welcome!

Actually, I said that it is NOT my intention to abandon the app 😉.

As for the synchronization of nested folders, the behavior you're observing is strange, but we need to distinguish between "adding or removing" an item in a folder and "modifying" things like the label or icon: the contained "item" is unique throughout JINA, so when you modify it, for example the label, you're modifying it everywhere.

However, if you add an item to a folder, you're only adding it to that folder (or more accurately, to all instances of that folder you've created).

I have a doubt... at the left of the bottom bar for folders, there's a button that flattens the hierarchy of nested folders. Could it be that you accidentally activated it? If not, please record a video of what's happening so I can understand better.

Regarding batch selection, after the long press, a context menu will appear. Press "more," and it will activate multiple selection.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hello guys, if you are brave enough to test the new build (ALPHA), please send me a PM with the email address associated with the Play Store, and I will add you to the closed test group. 🤞
[Android Apps and Games] JMN-NYC:
I tried searching this forum but didn't get any hits so I thought I would post my question.

I have one folder that behaves oddly - it comes up faded out with a transparent background. All my other folders have the plain white background I want. How do I change the problematic folder so the background is not washed out and semi-transparent but rather a solid white? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi,

did you try to set the background color through the Look & Feel menu?
[Android Apps and Games] JMN-NYC:
I've been looking for that setting to see if I could change it. I only see foreground color. Changing that just seems to change the text. Where is background color setting?
[Android Apps and Games] Jubeichan:
Hi, it's hard to show you the screen recording because there are absolutely no differences between functions, so I don't know where to start: when add or copy Any folder (new, live or

existing) to Any other folder (live, existing or regular folder), any editing (add, delete, rename etc.) on either side will syncwith the other side and the associated tags (whether

regular or live).

As a result, I think I will learn the features if you can teach me how to implement start from scratch (whether using Live or Regular tags/folder etc.): First, I want to copy an existing folder/label named Food and Beverage, rename it to Restaurants and make it independent from Food and Drinks (no syncing). Then, copy it with the other two root folders, Shopping and Banks, into another root folder called Money. Inside the Money folder, I want Shopping be independent from the original folder, and Banks and Restaurants still linked with the original folder. Thank you so much!!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I was talking about the folders on the home screen, in the Look & Feel section, there is an option for both the background and the text.

Were you talking about a folder opened from within the main app?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
If you copy a folder (i assume you are using the Add Existing folder option), you are creating a shortcut (a pointer) to the original folder, to achieve your goal, you must create a new manual folder named Restaurants and manually add the apps contained into the Food and Beverage.

Same thing as before: the folder Shopping inside the parent Money, must be a new manual folder, not a copy of the original, if you want it to be independent from original the live folder.

To recap:

create a new manual folder Money

create 2 new manual folders (Restaurants and Shopping)

add the apps you want to these folders

place the new folders Restaurants and Shopping inside the folder Money (add existing folders if you want to keep a reference to the root folder or move if you don't want the nested folder appear also in the root)
[Android Apps and Games] JMN-NYC:
First - thanks for taking the time to think and answer about my question. I'm knew to JINA as I was a Folder Organizer user for years but it seems to have disappeared (even the Amazon appstore version -Apps Organizer - can't install in my version of Android).

So, I have one folder (called "Home") that has subfolders. When I open home, it has a transparent background and does not have a header bar on it. So I can hit the upper left "hamburger" icon to bring up the menu including "look and feel" which allows me to set the background color on other folders. There is something screwy about this folder that I can't seem to find a way to fix.

One thing I was able to fix is that it used to stay there when I opened a subfolder so it was two folders overlaid. I was able to change a setting that closes it when the subfolder is opened so it isn't so disconcerting.

Is there anyway to edit the "Home" folder to make it behave like all my other folders (header bar & solid white background) or do I have to build a new folder and just replace it?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hmm, maybe I understand what's happening. Please check if you have enabled the "use background image" option in the Home folder's Look & Feel menu. (section "MORE...).

There is also an option "Hide toolbars" that hides the header bar: if you set it you can show again the toolbar by swiping down from the top of the folder, starting a little over the border.

I recorded a short video: https://youtube.com/shorts/tivq6VEEYc0
[Android Apps and Games] JMN-NYC:
Thanks much for your help. Looking at the "Home" folder's Look & Feel, neither Hide Toolbars nor "Use Background Image" are selected.

That said, the swipe down brought up the toolbar header and I was able to go into background color and remove the transparency. So everything is resolved.

Very much appreciate your help. Making a youtube video is really generous and above and beyond. Many thanks!!!
[Android Apps and Games] TheMatrix200001:
With the latest version of jina, shortcuts are not working anymore. Example: I use "Everywhere Launcher". When a swipe is triggered, a shortcut of jina starts. A shortcut with the Homefolder. It worked before.

Also i can't make shortcuts on the Homelauncher. I use Nova Launcher. Poco Launcher and Total Launcher it is the same.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi, it should be already fixed but the new version is still under Google's review.

I'll send you a pm with a direct download link.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMatrix200001:
Ok, thanks. That was a quick reply 😀
[Android Apps and Games] risk0:
I also have folder shortcut issues with Version 3.6.0a1374.2310251337. Can you please send a link? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] vault1965:
Nice touch, right side is ultimate one hand perk, thanks for updating app so quickly. Can't wait to see what comes next ?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I'm really puzzled guys, JINA was suspended from Google Play because of a violation of this norm:

"Do not use others' branding or product names at the start of your app title without permission. This implies association and is misleading for users. Instead, use "for [ product or brandinsert name ]."

Incorrect: "Android MediaPlayer"

Correct: "MediaPlayer for Android""

Which brand or product name do you think i have violated?

I'm sure i gave permission to myself to use the old jina name :rolleyes:

Only thing that I have found is Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics (JINA), here is Wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Institute_for_Nuclear_Astrophysics

Maybe we can start contest for new name :good:

Few suggestions : JAFO (Jina app Folders Organizer)

Sidekick Folder
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Damn! They discovered that a JINA widget can do nuclear analysis on supernovas :silly:

Indeed i just asked Google, i hope it was an error...
[Android Apps and Games] vault1965:
I think that I have found a small bug in latest version, sidebar transparency is applied only if I go to sidebar options and move the slider. Can you please check?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
i confirm the bug thanks. next beta will fix

Added option to open the Sidebar from everywhere, by sliding the edge of the screen
[Android Apps and Games] vault1965:
It is coming up beautifully, small bug report, center folder on screen option doesn't stick. Folder personalization is really nice ?

Also, screen edge activation is slick
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
1.0.4c beta is ready to test and available for direct download on post #2.

Improved desktop folder position algorithm

Improved Sidebar everywhere animation feedback

Sidebar hides on left swipe

Added function to check Google Play infos (if available) for apps with different origin
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
can you please check if the "folder on center" bug is gone with the latest beta? i wasn't be able to reproduce on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] vault1965:
Just tested, it still reverts to non centered after I select centered. Here are screenshots.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Can you try the 1.0.4d attached here? After install, if the problem persists, delete the folder shortcut and create it again.

Hope it will fix but i'm not sure... you are not the only one who noticed this bug but i'm still unable to replicate :(
[Android Apps and Games] vault1965:
Yep, this version have fixed it. You just need to enable it twice in row, but after that it sticks. Good work man :good:

One question, is there possibility to make folders transparent in current version or will you try to add it in future?

Last thing, do we have possibility to have "recent" folder with most used apps as sort of "favorites" folder.

Thanks again for continued support, it is much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yes folder background (not the title bar background) transparency is controlled by the lowest slider (if you don't see it try to scroll up the view).

Recent apps folder is possibile but it isn't a fast implementation, i'll add to the todo list.

Just to try to understand the cause of the "center" bug: is jina installed on SD or on internal storage?
[Android Apps and Games] vault1965:
Thanks for reply. I have HTC One, no external sd available so all apps are installed internally.

Hope that this help.
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
suggestion.. use back key to send to background. I don't like the press again to terminate ;)

Hi, I use Google Translate. First, I would like to thank the developer and all contributors to this software. There's a small, trivial bug in the app, but it bothers me. When I close an application at the end of a folder, Jina returns to the beginning of the folder..
