v. 1.2.7ga released

Fixed sidebar activation problems on android 6.0

Sidebar persistent notification icon

Increased max zoom drawer icon view

Bugfixing
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
Version: 1.2.7

Two bugs, I noticed:

1. Search string not cleared after app launch. It is automatically cleared when you starting typing letters next you launch on the sidebar, not sure if it is the intended behaviour.

2. Night mode settings not working, I have it on for last couple of days. I don't see it working.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
1. if you mean in T9 yes you are right, i noticed that in the previous version but i forgot to fix :o

2. i'll check

Anybody else is using night mode?

Guess I am not too crazy,

How about aligning the search results towards the bottom, as shown in the modified screenshot. With bigger screens its just easy to select from the results as soon as you search.

[MENTION=575209]bambapin[/MENTION], don't kill me, if I am asking too much. :D
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Yes it's a good idea, just wait for the next beta ;)

[MENTION=1055878]FerroFlux[/MENTION], [MENTION=628601]bigchrizzieboy[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2023874]RiseUp[/MENTION] i'm working on the 2.0 branch with the custom sort, tags/categories merge and new icons, as soon as i have a decent version to test i'll post.

Night mode working fine. [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106]
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
For some reason night mode is acting weird, it's not automatically changing to night mode. If I open settings it's then changing to night mode, if I just open the sidebar it's not changed.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Ok i can figure out what happens. Night theme is applied only on next start after the scheduled time, nothing happens while the app is active (and the sidebar everywhere is always active...).

I'll fix in the 2.0.

Just to tease a bit guys, 2 screencast of the incoming version ;)

Still lot of work before a decent beta but... :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
Can we have better Hotspot controls, like sensitivity and width control. Some times I feel touch recognition is not so good.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Do you mean the touch area for the initial hotspot activation or the swipe gesture that actually opens the sidebar?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
What do you think of the new icons guys?

All critics and suggestions are welcome :)

.
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:
hotspot activation is fine, the swipe gesture is not too sensitive, i miss it lot of times.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Ok i'll try to add an option to increase the gesture sensitivity, i think it is really touchscreen dependent because i had lot of complaints for unwanted activations on previous versions.
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Not much to say...

That means that I like them :D

Looks good, can't wait for the update, keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] FerroFlux:
Looks great! Love the new material icons. Can't wait for v2!

[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
First 2.0alpha, just for risk takers :cowboy:

[YOUTUBE]rMztrtYHzkQ[/YOUTUBE]​

This is a special version and can be installed next to the old Jina: this will change as soon as the new version will be stable enough for every day use

What's new? Internally a lot, so there can be lot of bugs also in old functions... sorry guys.

Externally there are also lot of changes but the more noticeable are:

new UI

sidebar and drawer are now 2 different launcher entries

categories and tags are merged into "super" tags :)

market categories are now automatically mapped to a tag

tags linked to automatic categories can be manually renamed and/or unliked on app basis

tags can be manually sorted

tags batch actions (work in progress)

the game or app attribute is related only to the app and no more to the category/tag

desktop/home folders are totally resizable

folder items can be manually sorted

new backup/restore system (full data and icons backup on external storage to survive to uninstallations)

some user preference added (just have a look)

sidebar activation feedback (very very work in progress)

maybe something else but i don't remember :D

Let me know what you think guys, as usual feedbacks and suggestions are very welcome

N.B. You cannot launch the new jina from the old one and viceversa. Please shutdown the old Jina sidebar everywhere before starting the new one
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Wooooot!

First View, first reply, wooohoooh.

Glad that i subscribed to this thread.

Will test and play Tomorow during my work.

Thanks for the update :)
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
New 2.0.0beta, not only for risk takers :cyclops:

Hmmm... no bug reports nor suggestions..... i hope to not have bricked all phones with the previous version :)

Indeed, this new beta has ton of bug fixes and it s stable enough for everyday use so you can uninstall the temporary version.

This version will replace the old Jina and will become production sooner or later... more easily later :)

Let me know.

p.s. tags batch actions and apk backup repository are still work in progress
[Android Apps and Games] FerroFlux:
This is great, looking forward to seeing it in the play store! I have been running the beta for a while and I didn't encounter any bugs specifically. I suppose some of the icons deep within the menus could use updating as well. For instance, when you long click an app and go to the information page, things like the play store link have fairly low quality icons. If the folders could be more material like Nova Launcher folders that would be good as well. Would it be possible to implement a floating popup similar to App Dialer with just a T9 keyboard? Or a T9 keyboard search widget to quickly search apps from the homescreen, in addition to the sidebar? Just some thoughts to try and help out! If you make a premium version on the play store I would be willing to purchase it to support development. Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Thank you very much for your feedback and your suggestions and thank you also for offering support.

I think the best way to support the development at this time, is to spread the word around to increase the number of users ;)

If someone was using automatic or manual categories in the old version, it would be also useful to have some feedback on the new system that merge tags and categories.
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
Hi, been testing / using this app a lott, but didn't have time to comment, but here i go: :good:

I'm using folders (shortcuts to Jina Tag Folder) most of the times.

- TAGS work great, no need for categories anymore.

- Shortcuts work great.

- Sort Items is one of the best things in the "New Jina", the option i wished for

- Shortcut to "Jina Tag Folder" is a great option for me (opening folders from notifications with powertoggles)

- Renaming works great (rename a app and it's renamed in all folders)

- Custom Icons with a icon pack is good enough for me.

Suggestions / Ideas (priority from high to low):

- Close a folder after launching a app/shortcut.

Now when i opened a app / shortcut and i exit it the "jina folder" is still open, maybe a option (close folder after launch).

- Improve resizing the window

This could have some improvement, especially when switching from portrait to landscape.

When in landscape the resizing vertical doesn't work well.

Maybe we can give dimension size in pixels?

- Other Views inside folder

Grid view is nice, but it would also be nice to choose list view (text next to icon), or only icons (no text), only text (no icons), etc.

- Icons

Maybe one day you can implent to choose custom images besides icons...

That's it i guess :good:

Thanks for the great update.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Thank you very much [MENTION=628601]bigchrizzieboy[/MENTION]! I'm glad to know that the new tags logic is ok, i was not i was not totally confident :)

I'll check the resize function and i'll post a fix very soon (including the option to close the folder after a launch).

About icons you mean choosing an image, i.e. from the gallery, to use as icon or as folder backgrounds?
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
I mean the icons from all the apps/shortcuts,

Here's a screenshot from Power Toggles icon chooser that can do much when changing a icon

It's freeware, so maybe you can try it to get some inspiration: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc

[Android Apps and Games] FerroFlux:
Also, another possible suggestion. Maybe the ability to see app permissions and list apps by those that are targeted to the marshmallow API? An indicator beside the app icon could also show if it has the internet permission or not. I'm currently using another app to check these stats out but if they were built into Jina that would be very handy!

Great update, 2 glitches

Hi,

I just wanted to notice a bug when launching a shortcut to a tag sometimes i get Force Close, but before i could mention it you solved it already :good:

A tag folder with links to other tag folders works even great :laugh:

2 things i noticed:

- When i long press a app in a tag-folder i get nice options, but parts of that screen are transparent (top and bottom):

- the shortcut overlay (little arrow) doesn't move along when you zoom in / out (see what i marked red)

Thank you for the feedback, did you notice if the weird trasparency was present also in the previous version?
[Android Apps and Games] bigchrizzieboy:
no idea, do i need to test?

I've got no idea, sorry.

If really needed i can test it with an older version (point 1 out and i will try).

I'm rooted so titanium backup or even a nandroid backup can make it easily for me to test :)

[Android Apps and Games] FerroFlux:
Just another idea/suggestion. Maybe add a category for sorting by disabled apps? I have several system apps that I diabaled because they can't be uninstalled so being able to quickly view them would be helpful! I will also check for any bugs I find and report back!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
I have been fighting with disabled apps in jina for 2 months and until now they are winning :(

When you disable an app, can you still see it using the "non launchable" preset filter or they appear as uninstalled?
[Android Apps and Games] JUNNO-S:
brillant

All i'ts ok
[Android Apps and Games] blackscorpio06:

[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
Loving this! The app launch count is incorrect, though and before you ask, yes, I granted app usage access :)
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Thank you :)

The launch count doesn't update at all? android version?
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
Galaxy S7 Edge, Android 6.0.1.

Perhaps I misunderstand the launch count. I thought it was maintained by Android and fetched by your app. Do you use the raw value or do you start counting over from 1? Solid Explorer is by far my most-often launched app yet JINA says it's only been launched twice. After launching it from JINA the count increased to 3. Then I launched it from my home screen launcher and when I went back to JINA the launch count remained at 3. Is this a bug? When is the launch count supposed to increase?
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
You are right it's a bug.

On lollipop and greater Jina uses the android stats raw value for launch count and date.

On < 5x devices, or if it is not able to access android stats, jina fallback to an internal counter (updated only when an app is launched by Jina).

Maybe i forgot to check some different permission on marshmallow, i'll check and fix :)
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
Thanks! I was starting to think I really didn't understand what/how the launch counter was used and maintained.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
New beta v. 2.0.0b521

[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
Thank you for the update! After installing I checked the launch count for Solid Explorer and it still shows 4. I repeated my experiment in my above post and it still behaves the same. Is there something I should do to cause it to reinitialize its counter?

BTW, I also uninstalled it and installed it fresh and it still behaves the same way.
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
hmmm... that's not good it should just work without any user action:(

Can you try to revoke the app usage permission to jina and then open again the app details screen? (this way Jina will ask you again to grant the access to the system stats)

edit: if you sort by "most used" the list order is correct?
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
I uninstalled and reinstalled so I had to give it permission again and the counts were still wrong.

Sorting by most used doesn't sort it above some other apps that I've used less.

Just had an idea -- perhaps the launch count is saved in the backup data? I've done a backup and restore it every time I've reinstalled JINA. Perhaps the restoration of the launch count should also be conditional based on Android version? When I *don't* restore the backup the count is correct ... or at least it's larger than it is than when I DO restore.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

Not sure I understand why but after the last uninstall/reinstall sequence, the counts seem to work fine. Not sure what was happening. I checked to make sure I installed the right version so thats wasn't it. Anyway, it's counting correctly now. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
Thank you for testing!

BTW me too i have noticed something strange, it looks like there is a sort of delay, more than 30 seconds on emulator, between the permission granted and the actual system stats availability.

I don't know if that's the normal behavior or if i'm missing something, i have to investigate more.

[MENTION=4366797]blackscorpio06[/MENTION] : i wasn't able to reproduce, next time you get a blanck list, can you try to type on the t9 keypad and tell me what happens?

Thanks for the update! Where do I find the beta channel? Usually I've seen a link to Google+ page to sign up or a link to a beta page. Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

Could we get an autoclose after launching an app from the App Drawer, too? We've got it for folders and for the sidebar. I actually prefer working with the App Drawer and would like it to automatically close after I launch an app from it.

EDIT: Duhhh...maybe the Google Play link in the first post takes you to the beta? :)

EDIT2: Nope, that looks like the stable version. And I looked on both your website and your G+ page and couldn't find anything about a beta channel. Help? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bambapin:
