New alpha v. 3.0 b648

Sorry for so many posts guys, the V3 apk from the previous post (b647) was a bad build caused by a bugged google libraries release, this one fixes the issues.
[Android Apps and Games] Trasd:
Max, I have been using JINA daily, but you have not heard from me lately because I haven't run into any problems! Granted, I've only been using it and not digging too deep, but currently I'm using it the way most regular users would be.

You know quite well, you'll here from me if I find something not working as I expert it should.
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Also no problems here

Same here; no problems :D

But I always have a wish-list, things to make the app even greater:

I'm revering to Folderview (as i love to work with that, launching a folder directly from my notificationarea with Power Toggles or with LMT PIE, both FREEware).

- Choose Font Size (small, medium, large, or choose in pixels?)

- Choose distance between icons (small, medium, large, or choose in pixels?)

- Choose view/size/etc in portret and another option in landscape (2 different views for one folder).

Regarding the battery drain? Didn't notice anything strange :)

Don't know... If i do the same steps the app appears in jina.

Can you see it after the "Refresh" ?
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
No .. but IMO app refresh goes fat too fast (instantly finished).
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yes the refresh is very fast because what slows down the first loading is extractig labels and icons from all installed packages. The refresh just checks package names and extract resources only for the new ones.

I would ask you to try a full Reload DB to check if something change, but you will loose all your settings...
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
last point in the settings menu? also very fast . . no new apps found.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
there is something wrong, the full reload lasts more than 20 seconds on my Note 4 with 600 apps installed and the message "no new apps found" is shown only after a refresh not after a full reset
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
did it again and now reboot app is there. have no idea why It failed before.

[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
It is a bug fixing release but introduces a sidebar view proof of concept

Added a new sidebar desktop view (still incomplete but it useful as proof of concept)

Added swipe to uninstall from the new sidebar

Closing app details doesn't reload app list anymore

3 dot app menu more moved to the left

Bug fixed: category change in app detail
[Android Apps and Games] umetnic:
1. Good job moving 3 dot to the left! Cleaner that way.

2. Feature: Could I see in the Az Filter dropdown what view is currenty selected?

3. Not sure that source filter is allready functioning as it is intended? As You can see in the pic, I can see all installed apps, but nothing is selected in source filter. Shouldn't I see only the ones selected?

3.1. Also, If this source filter popup would not hide everytime I check something, It would be much faster, to custom select just a few sources.

4.

Nope. Still does not auto switch. Looks like that JINA does not check the time when she is started. Because according to night time span settings, it should turn on Night mode. ;)

5. old 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.

Yes, that was it. It was set to something over 500. To get bigger T9. :)

Please check current desktop folder screenshot. The right side is still cut a little. It could be also centered. Keep in mind that per App DPI in xposed is off, but my whole UI still has custom set DPI via ROM settings to 390. If I switch to 480, it is pretty the same thing as 390.

Otherwise, nice touch with remembering the zoom state.

6. Bug. T9 hides when pressed back button on the phone, but the icon does not switch to search but is still the down arrow.

7. Feature: T9, please consider putting also numbers in there... Was searching for *mp3* app and had no clue how to enter numbers. I believe there are also other apps with numbers in the name, so this could be useful...
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Sure i'll add, i was just just wondering i was the only one missing that info :)

The source filter works as a "Show only this source". If nothing is checked the filter is not applied, if you check Google then you will see only apps from the Google play store, if you add Amazon you will see only apps from Google OR Amazon.

It could appear a strange logic but i think that when you use this filter you often want to see a specific source rather than exclude a specific source.

That's really strange, i'm not able to replicate neither on emulator neither on real phones :(
[MENTION=1209212]daniello8[/MENTION] do you observe the same behavior?

I always forget to hide something when i touch the search function :)
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
Sorry I'm not into day and night mode changes.

Gesendet von meinem SM-G900F mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] umetnic:
Perfect! :D So I can check faster if az view filters are working...currently they seem broken BTW...UPDATE: Reset DB fixed it.

Aha, thanks for clarifying. Seems reasonable that way. Well in that case, U could add 'show only...' . It could be more self explanatory that way..

Hi,

First of all:

Happy new year! :good:

[IMG="Happy New Year!"]https://d2v9y0dukr6mq2.cloudfront.net/video/thumbnail/VgUL7MqLl/happy-new-year-2017_hq66hu7a_thumbnail-small09.jpg[/IMG]

Been busy celebrating christmass and new year and i guess you've been busy developing :)

Amazing update(s):

new option to distinguish folders settings (zoom, view mode, size and screen location) between landscape and portrait (folders)

was just what i was looking for!

Monday-morning thought:

Since the folders are easy to manage inside the drawer / there's a menu under each icon.

Maybe it's an idea to have a option to HIDE the top banner and de "+" symbol (both red in the screenshot). Maybe you can also add the options in the "speed dial menu" i guess (add something / toggle title bar.

[IMG="Screenshot"]https://dl.xda-developers.com/3/9/8/7/6/5/6/Screenshot_20170102-093405.png?key=TBu_I4q-Pu5_MQqpRKBvow&ts=1483346749[/IMG]

p.s. I'll try to keep up with the translating
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Not sure hiding the folders toolbar would be so easy, there are lot of functions that need it (folder position, size,sort by ...).

I can try to find a way to make it expandable/collapsible by a pull gesture but i can not promise that will come out something comfortable to use :)
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
New v. 3.0 b662 beta

old folders conversion improved (folders)

bugfixing (general)
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Pull gesture doesn't make sens since we can scroll in the folders i think.

Why not merge it into the "icon speed dial menu"?
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
oops, double post, can be ignored
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
The speed dial menu is a context menu with functions related to the current selected app, don't you think that might confuse the user mix functions related to the folder?
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
I think not, the Sort option is also not app related but folder related, it's up to you what suits the best :)

- edit:

Been thinking about it, i've got no idea how easy it's to create sub-menus.

But you could als create one button under the app speed-dial buttons with folder menu items.

That would "open" the submenu with options (like you've got under the left top bar button):

- sort apps

- Full Screen

- Change Size

- ...

- add item

- toggle top bar

I hope you get the idea (and it makes sense).
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Two questions:

1. I would like to support the developer. Is there a paid pro version?

2. I can translate into French if you don't already have that.

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

How do I remove an app that I put into a custom tag? Not uninstall it. Just remove it from that tag?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Ok, i got your point thank you very much!

The problem with the submenu is not so much the difficulty of implementation as the fact that with the circle menu shown, the user has pressed a finger at a particular point on the screen, if the submenu appears too far, it will be awkward to reach without lifting the finger, if it is too close it will almost certainly be covered by the hand and then the user will not see it... i will think about a bit and see what i can do.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi and welcome,

thank you very much for both offers.

About the first point the answer is no, there is not a paid version. Maybe in the future i'll publish some paid addon, with a server side component, but they will be always free for xda people ;)

I think that the best way to support Jina right now is to spread the word.

If you want to translate into French you are welcome, there is already a french user who is doing a great job but the number of new phrases grows fast and i think it will not be offended if you join the group: this is the url https://www.localize.im/v/v7

About the tags question there are 2 ways:

from the app details screen, long press on the tag you want to remove

from the tag management screen (you can do batch), navigate inside the tag, long click on an app and activate the multiselection, the crossed tag icon in the action bar.
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
1. Sadly, NO. I also want to "buy" this app or make a donation.

2. See the link on the first page: https://www.localize.im/projects/v7

3. See screenshot attached (press and hold a icon, then choose delete, watch out for uninstall).
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Last Idea about this: open a "folder menu button" on place with the small + button instead, something like the quick settings in the folder (or merge them)

- Add item

- Resize

- Change size

- list/grid view

- show/hide top bar

- Bring all the options there...

This will also make the top bar more "cleaner"
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Ok i will try this way ;)

Unfortunately, my menu choices are different. I don't seem to have the delete icon. My trashcan icon is for uninstall and above it takes me to the play store. I'll check my settings.

[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
The menu posted by [MENTION=628601]bigchrizzieboy[/MENTION] is the folders context menu not the sidebar one, that's why yours is different.

Is anybody on android 7 experiencing a very long lag on folders startup after using the sidebar?
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Please ignore. I figured it out.

Could someone please explain how to use live folders? I downloaded the latest beta and (I think) created live folders and enabled favorites but don't see them anywhere in the sidebar.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
You can add a live folder directly to desktop or nest it inside another folder, just like other users folders.

You can also add them inside the favorites sidebar (not the full sidebar) because the favorites sidebar content is the special folder "favorite apps".
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I have got an idea... what if instead of removing the toolbar, i make it totally transparent (but still present) as default and show it on touch?
[Android Apps and Games] sebarkh:
One request: an option to hide "settings" Button in the sidebar and in the notification bar. It takes place.

Thx.

[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
You mean to make room for more apps shortcuts in the notification bar?
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Awesome app!

Using the latest beta. B664 in nexus 5 running stock 5.1.1, Nova pro, and xposed.

Fwiw, noticed a possible minor display bug. At times the favorite sidebar handle occasionally disappears when I am in some other app. It reappears when I use the other handle to open the main sidebar.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Thanks, did you notice if also the notification icon disappears when the handler is not shown?
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
That could be the connection. I have the notification icon set to not show (in the settings) because my notification bar gets crowded in a small phone. So it is never visible.
[Android Apps and Games] sebarkh:
Yes, but in my opinion it is just looking bad.

Taking too much space.

A switch to turn these icons off in would be great. For both sidebar and notif. area.
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Notification bar gets crowded
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Ok i understand, btw for the notification area there is already an option to hide the icons and show the labels only.

"You can add a live folder directly to desktop or nest it inside another folder, just like other users folders."

I'm on Android. What do you mean by desktop? Home screen?

I use nova pro launcher. I create folders on the desktop screens by merging app icons. How exactly would I create a live folder on a home screen?

[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
In case it's a bug, I'm not sure why the rectangle (see attached image) appears and persists. It happens after a long press of of the hotspot.

(And it still disappears as previously reported)
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
The long press of the hotspot activates the drag mode (the rectangle means that the drag mode is active) to let you put the hotspot exactly where you want in the screen.

It should disappear if you press back or after you raise the finger if you actually moved. If you noticed a different behavior please tell me.

However, the occasional disappearance of handlers that you reported previously, is almost certainly related to the notification icon that you keep disabled: the notification icon allows Jina to be considered by Android as a service in the foreground with high priority. This means that when android needs to free resources by suspending some active app, it will try to not suspend Jina.
