Hi Bambapin

Firstly, thanks for the great Jina thread and for your reply.

I don't know how to reset the icons.

The icons came with the theme from play store but I bought the three colours icons from there too. Wasn't much so thought I'd give it a try, but when I try to apply an icon pack it says there are no compatible packs available.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Can you post the links to the playstore of theme and the icons please?

To reset the icons, use the "App db management" (drawer main menu) -> "Rebuild icon cache".
[Android Apps and Games] jt6572:
Thanks again.

Ah it's actually galaxy themes. Not allowed to post links yet.

The theme names are invaser - abstract cubes.

Icons are called invaser prime red

I will try the reset...

You're a legend!

Rebuilding the icon cache did the trick.

Thanks very much ?

Favourites side bar settings

Sorry, worried out how to get to the favourites sidebar setting.

Thanks again for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Have a look a this video please https://youtu.be/TfKoMUafmAM
[Android Apps and Games] Jergis:
thank you guys, it is very good
[Android Apps and Games] jt6572:
Oh man the autocorrect on gboard is killing me!

So i turned it off.

I meant to say i worked out how to get to the settings! ?
[Android Apps and Games] JerryGoyal:
this is next level drawer! wondering why is there no update form last year.. did you guys ran out of features to add :P

feature request : option to show hidden apps in sidebar only, not in the app drawer. so we would be able to launch apps which are hidden
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Welcome and thanks for the suggestion, i was already planning to revisit the management of hidden apps, something like that could make sense.

There have been several beta releases recently and the current one will be promoted in production in the coming days, if you want a preview it is available on XDA-labs .

BTW i ran out of time not features to add :D
[Android Apps and Games] JerryGoyal:
i just downloaded and checking out beta version. this is my goto drawer (I have zillions of apps on my phone) and looking forward to the stable version. pls do consider the hidden apps visibility in search sidebar (these could be sensitive information apps/personal apps)... not shown in drawer by default if you hand over ur phone to someone.

It's amazing only one person is developing this.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
More than a different visibility between drawer and sidebar i was thinking of a protection mechanism to unlock the display of hidden apps.

Something like when the user presses the icon to show the hidden apps he must authenticate himself, what do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] JerryGoyal:
i may be wrong but i wouldn't suggest to build another 'app locker' for this. because users who need to lock certain apps would already be using some app locker app for this right?

so what i would suggest you to show hidden apps only when you search irrespective of side bar or main drawer.

usecase: suppose you have hidden xxx app, now ur friend is casually checking out your phone and going through app drawer he won't be able to see xxx app in the drawer list. he has no idea you have that app.

now when you want to launch xxx app you search for 'xx' (partial search) and the hidden xxx app pops up in search results.
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Hi! I was wondering if date format could be choseable. Right now, it is MM/DD/YY by default, but I would like to set it DD/MM/YY. Ability to choose this alternative format and other ones would be great.

Thank you in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi, the date format is not fixed, it is inherited from the phone's Locale settings.

What language/timezone/number format do you have?
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
You are right. I was using Jina in English, and now the date format has been changed after switching to Spanish. Thanks! ?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi i just released on XDA-Labs the v. 3.4.1ga1242.1910150828 beta

which has an option to include the hidden apps in searches (Settings->Experiments)
[Android Apps and Games] JerryGoyal:
woah! working fine for me. thanks for implementing the feature.

any reason for skipping the play store? if concerned about stability of beta version then you could launch as beta in beta signup program.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Since September, the Play Store has introduced an in-depth review mechanism for apps, including the beta channels, which leads to a delay even longer than 7 days between the upload of the apk and the actual availability of the app to the testers.

First of all I think this is not compatible with a beta program, imagine this scenario (which can happen): the dev releases a beta version that has a blocking bug for a certain combination device/android version. The users reports this to the dev almost immediately, the dev fixes the bug in an hour, but for a week or more the users will not be able to receive the fix and then to use the app.

Despite this, i usually release both on the beta channel of the Play Store and on XDA.

This time, after having thought about it for a long time, Google refused the apk update because the JINA store listing (which i have never changed for about 2 years and had not given any problems even in their last in-depth reviews) contains inside the extended description a reference to another app, the "Pixel Launcher", reference used to explain that with the JINA Drawer Everywhere you can use the same upward swipe gesture used in that app (which was a novelty two years ago and therefore not all users knew it).

I replaced the app name with "stock launcher" but to see the published beta apk on the Play Store we will have to wait for another review round, which potentially means 7 more days to wait.

The funny thing is that the refused update had obviously nothing to do with the store listing and that until Google accepts the new updated apk, the old app description with that "huge policy violation" remains happily published.
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Hi! These buttons seem to be overlapped.

Jina version: 3.4.1ga1242.1910150828
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Thanks, fixed and updated the XDA-Labs version.
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Thank you! Is there any way to fix this one too? Black letters on black background. Thank you in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
"Pegar" is the system message "Paste" of copy/paste?
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Yes.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I was not able to reproduce it either on the emulator or on my phone.

Does it happen only on web shortcuts or even on other JINA dialogs (i.e. edit a folder name)?
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
It happens on other dialogs too. When you edit a folder name, for example:
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
It does not happen using transparent dark theme:
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Don't know... can you try this version?
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Nop, the issue is still there ?

Don't worry! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Lets try again with this one.

I have not increased the version number, please check that the apk update is really done
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Fixed! Thank you so much! ?
[Android Apps and Games] Max Bornysov:
I enjoyed it
[Android Apps and Games] JerryGoyal:
It's a nightmare! I can understand the frustration and it keeps rising especially for indie app developers. play/app stores are clearly not favoring the independent developers and going after the big firms. Every now and then I see many rants about play store monopoly on r/AndroidDev. I Hope for a better time but keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
[MENTION=575209]bambapin[/MENTION], perhaps this tip from Tasker's developer could help ?

? http://bit.ly/2W2ajWT
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
[MENTION=575209]bambapin[/MENTION] I was an early adopter of the app and since been my default launcher. Its a great app. Thank you much.

Recently , got a OnePlus 7T the default OnePlus guestures ruined my most used sidebar launch capability. Is there any other workaround?

In the meantime I am exploring Drawer everywhere usage. Currently I am facing one issue, if I remember right there used to be a option to stack results from the bottom in Drawer everywhere like in the sidebar, I couldn't find that setting, any help please?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
The stack from bottom option for the Drawer is in the Experiments section of advanced settings.

With regard to the OnePlus gesture can you provide more details? There is a shortcut that can be used to launch the Favorites Sidebar but i'd like to better understand the problem, maybe there is better way.
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
Thanks I found the setting.

I am afraid that i can't explain, so Will send a pm of the OnePlus gusture video. Not able to attach here.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Ok, if you want, we can switch to e-mail (team@mobeedom.com)
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
I used to use hotspot to launch full sidebar, with the new OnePlus the default gestures are not adjustable and they take the whole(75%) sides of the screen from the bottom so there is no space left for the Jina sidebar hotspot.

Sent. Let me know if you want me to send to email as well.

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

Pm sent.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
The only thing i can do quickly is to add an option to make the drawer everywhere hotspot open the Favorites Sidebar instead of the Drawer.

It might help?
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
I guess I found one workaround, using hotspots forced margin @ 10, full sidebar working fine so far.

It is little bit odd the hot spot position but working so far. But I guess we could find a solution soon.

But I having another issue now, the stack from bottom option is now stacking the full sidebar from bottom but if I remember right it used to do only for search results. Am I missing something here?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yes you're right, that option only affected search results by name. Now it has a general effect, with the exception of the A-Z sort: in this case the list is stacked from the top and only the search results are stacked from the bottom. Don't you like it?
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
Let me give it couple of days, see how I like it and report back.

---------- Post added at 02:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 AM ----------

I sent an email with recording of another issue with OnePlus 7T. Please check it.

I sent an email with recording of another issue on OnePlus 7T. Please check it.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
The launch on single result? It should be fixed in the last beta (3.4.2ga1263) on XDA Labs
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
Working great now.
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Hi!

- I'm not able to download from XDA Labs the new version. A toast says that something goes wrong and the APK file is not downloaded. Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

- I have noticed differences and mistakes in the new Jina icons design. Some of them have thicker white "rings" and some of them are not symmetrical. Here you have a screenshot with three examples:
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Thank you, to tell the truth the icons were wrong even before but now, with the white border, you better notice the errors :o

I fixed the errors in this version and I added a borderless copy of each default icon, please let me know if you still notice something wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Haha I hadn't noticed them before ?

Thank you very much!!! ?
[Android Apps and Games] REYNER0227:
i know that maybe this is not an idea for this app, but there is apossibility that you or someone create a keyboard app, like T9, in a side, like one hand mode but old style?

hahahaha that will be awesome, have the full screen and in a botton corner the mini keyboard sony ericsson style xD

i like your app!
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Hi! I was wondering if these features related to folders created in home screen could be implemented:

- Ability to choose if add them to folders view too, or only as a shortcut in the home screen.

- Ability to choose the expanded folder style: on site or center. Right now, you can choose to open them on center, otherwise they would be opened wherever you set them. I think another default position "on site" (on the icon) would be great.

- Ability to choose other kinds of folders icons. I mean, something more similar to the options available in launchers settings. For example, Pixel style, or circle or square where you can see the apps contained inside the folders without expand them.

Thank you in advance!!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi and sorry for the late reply.

The suggestions are all interesting but it is important to keep in mind that within JINA folders are managed in a particular way.

When you create a folder on the home you're not creating a standalone widget, you're creating a shortcut to a "mini" app that reads the content of the JINA DB (which is unique to all folders, drawers, and sidebars).

As for the opening "on site" it actually depends on how the folder was created on the home and on the launcher you use because if it is not the launcher to communicate it, JINA has no idea where was the icon that started the folder.

If you create the folder on the home from inside JINA, almost no launcher communicates the information, if instead you create the folder starting from the home (add a widget) then the launcher communicates the location of the icon and JINA already try to use the information to open the folder as close as possible, unless folder has not been manually moved by the user.

WRT the folder icons, i just released in XDA-Labs a new version that builds the automatic icon in a better way than before, is still static, in the sense that if the content changes the icon must be refreshed manually but I'm working on an automatic refresh, there are a bit of performance issues to solve.

In any case at least for now, not being a widget, the icon could be automatically updated only within the folders view or sidebar, not on the home because JINA has no way to change the icon of a shortcut created on the home, only the launcher can do it.
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Hi! There are two issues with the apps info pages only when I access from Jina.

- They are not kept in recents

- If you leave them pressing recents or home buttons and then you try to access to another app info page, the previous app info page is opened. It does not happen if you leave them with back button.

I thought these issues were due to my Jina settings, which I have set to not been shown in recents, but I changed that option and the issues are still there.

Any idea about it?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Try this version please but make a backup before installing it.

There is a new option (Experiments) to enable the management of apps installed on the work profile that could also interfere with the main profile.
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
So great! Fixed! ?

I didn't understand the link between the issue I reported and the new option, sorry. Or you were talking about different things? And was the suggestion to backup due to that new option or something else?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
You are right i was not clear :o There is no link between the issue and the new option, but i applied the fix on the current development version that already had the new feature i was talking about.

The backup suggestion was only because of the internal changes related to the new feature.
[Android Apps and Games] paxsu:
I have switch off panels etc in my sidebar and now i have only my favorite apps there but i can't find the way to enter to sidebar settings. Can anybody help? Via drawer there is no sidebar settings..
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi, i assume you are talking about the Favorites Sidebar.

You can swipe horizontally towards the center of the screen to show again the side panel.

Another way could be starting from the notification: settings icon -> other settings -> favorites sidebar

Hi! I've just started using Jina, what an awesome app, and I was wondering if there was a setting to stop Jina from launching on phone startup?

Reason I'm asking is that I have a dual screen phone, the LG G8X. Unlike many other apps and launchers Jina seems to be aware it's running on my secondary display and works perfectly on it, I am using it as my main launcher and app drawer there.

The only time Jina seems to forget which display it's on is when I power cycle my phone, it then switches over to my main display. I have a job where I have to close and open the phone regularly, it isn't much of a hassle to disable and enable Jina every time I do but if there was a setting to stop it from launching on startup it would be very practical.
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
Hi. I tried to delete folders and live folders located into the "without tags" live folder, but the option is missing. Is this a bug? It seems the only way to do it is moving them to other folder and delete them from there.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi and welcome,

i guess you're referring to the hotspots, there is a "Start at boot" option in the Overlay Service settings.

It is possibile that the option doesn't work properly on android 9+, please let me know if it doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hmm yes there is a bug... actually i think that the main bug is that JINA shouldn't let create a subfolder there and, more generally, in fully automatic live folders (e.g. most used, last used etc.).

What do you think about it?
[Android Apps and Games] Nirnic:
By "fully automatic" you mean those live folders created by default by Jina? If so, I think it's ok, it has logic. But it is useful the ability to create subfolders and live subfolders in live folders created by users. In my case, I categorize my apps by tags and parent tags.

Thank you for considering the opinion of users! ?
[Android Apps and Games] Aka_Ifmy:
Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction, I had not noticed the "Level" slider at the top of the settings screen so couldn't find it. :)

Just to let you know the setting works perfectly on the Android 9 of my LG G8x.
[Android Apps and Games] ForestCat:
I just can't find an answer on this, so before I dig into the xml, is there a way to:

A) Edit/Create Themes?

B) Choose a background color (as opposed to an image) for the main app drawer and specify it's transparency?

With the Transparent Dark theme, I want to see more of my wallpaper.

It's interesting that there's an option for custom foreground color, but not finding any setting for BG?

Sorry if I missed something obvious.

Fantastic app, BTW!

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi and welcome.

Sorry but currently it is possibile to customize the background color only in folders.

With regard to the drawer or the full sidebar it is not possible to edit themes or to choose a custom background color.

The option for the custom foreground color, mainly exists to allow the user to make the text more visible when applying a background image, a small shadow is also added.

However, maybe you could create a custom image with the color and transparency you prefer and use it as background.
[Android Apps and Games] Magst64:
Great app, cannot find how to resize the sidebar when it's on the right

I can resize the sidebar on the left, but as soon as i place it on the right side, it seems to have a fixed width

Is it possible to change the width for the sidebar on the right ? Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi,

it is strange there should be no differences, long press on the handler to unlock then drag left/right... what version of JINA are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] Magst64:
Great thanks, after much fiddling I found the spot to unlock, about 3mm to the left of the border
[Android Apps and Games] RL_Peterson:
How to change apps in the overlay?

I really love this app, everything it does and how customisable it is, and only have a few things I would change, (one of the biggest is when backing out of the app details, it scrolls back to the no matter what it sounds like, so I spend a lot of time trying to get back to the app that I just backed out of).

The question I have is, at one time I set three or four apps for the overlay that is in the notification area, that is set as a persistent notification. I have no idea how up get back to the setting for it to change the apps it shows. I've looked in settings in the app, in the app details on the phone settings, I tried long clicking on the apps on the notification to see if an option to change it would pop up, I tried pressing the setting icon on the notification menu. I have no idea how to change those apps. Is there a setting I'm missing?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi, there is an option in the Overlay Service settings (same screen used for the hotspots settings) to manage the quick access apps.

Wrt the scroll when you exit from the details screen, does it happen when you use the drawer or the sidebar?

(sorry for the late reply but i didn't receive the post notification :o)
[Android Apps and Games] zyguo:
Where is the option to disable sidebar system drawer app/shortcut?

How can I make folder shortcut open faster? Why with 100 displayed apps, Jina Drawer opened fast/instant but all app folder shortcut slow? About 1-2s delay?

Can I hide name labels & letter shortcut while sort in alphabet in drawer?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Hi, what version of JINA are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] zyguo:
version 3.2.2ga1141.1810090817
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
With regard to the folders speed try the current version on XDA Labs https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.mobeedom.android.jinaFS.

You can hide the Sidebar shortcut (as well as any other app) using the app details screen->tab "more".

The labels in the drawer can only be hidden while you are in List view, not Icon view, however it makes sense to allow it also in the Icon view, I will add it in a future release.

if by letter shortcut, you mean the A-Z bar to the right of the screen, there is an option in the Drawer settings (level of detail "expert") to keep the bar hidden until you scroll the list.
[Android Apps and Games] zyguo:
Thanks, I hided it with the way you provided, but I thought that there is an option dedicated for this just like hide the Tasker secondary app.

I really appreciate for the future plan, I'll keep an eye on it.

I was triggered that hidden until scroll effect once, but I can't redo it now, I feel somewhat confused about the several related options and descriptions, if you can provide the the exactly option name to tick on or off, I think I can confirm further that if it can work as expected.

I tried the beta version you provided, but I think I can't really tell that there is a improvement or not on the folder shortcut launch speed, even on snapdragon 855 soc, I got say it's really weird for the startup speed, it shouldn't be like this, no offence, I got enough RAM, if it won't keep consume CPU resource, at least, I think I can keep it entirely in memory to speed up the launch speed.

One more thing, the in app hide status bar option in beta hide status bar but leave it blank, not fill it, but worked as expected using expended desktop provided by system, lineageos 16, and the previous play version which I used leave nav bar blank after expended desktop via system, but no status bar hidden problem.
