AMAZING APP. Awesome job man.

It's a (potential) solution to Android's problematic multitasking where apps redraw when you switch back to the app after a while. I've been cribbing about it since almost early 2011. Even created threads for the issue.

App seems to be initially working fine and when I switch back to the pinned app by clicking on the pin, the app is still working fine and does NOT redraw which is so amazing!

However, after a while the pin itself disappeared. ?

Please look into it.

Also, if I've pinned, say 3 apps. Then I couldn't quite figure out how to switch back and forth between them. Since first there was only one pin. Somehow managed to split it into 2 pins. However both pins led to second app, so couldn't switch to third app.

Other than that, amazing app man! Great work!

hi ,

just to add another issue, i had found ( to my previous post #20 )

first i have you app installed on my Note 4 N910F rooted ,stock ROM ( lollipop 5.0.1 )and Note 8.0 ( tablet ) N 5100 (Android v4.4.2) rooted stock ROM

On my Note 4 app is working quite smooth but "task switching " becomes very buggy after using app for a while

(eg .In PinTasking settings i have "switch to previous task " all unmarked .)

However it will randomly give me, old pinned apps i "deleted /back out/unpinned ..over and over .

If i only pin my twitter app and carry on ,it shows me my "messaging or phone is also still pinned ?

These pinned app were eg pinned +_ 30 min back and" unpinned deleted" afterwards or phone put on standby .etc

Seems it does not clear history .I have cleared apps cache /data ...re installed app etc etc .....does not help ...old pinned apps keep on showing up . History is not cleared " regulary " (after a while of use or pinning more than one app ?.)

On my Note 8.0 ( Android v 4.4.2)...no problems working fine.No problems

(A Lollipop bug ? )

good luck
[Android Apps and Games] PhinxApps:
Okay, a state with more than two pins on the screen is CURRENTLY a bug. Can you help me to reproduce it?

A pin disappears when you turn off the screen and "Autoremove" is enabled, when you close the pinned app via back button or swipe it from your overview/recent screen.

Try the "Ignore pinned tasks as previous" option and the "Task history runner" option to switch easily between 3 tasks or more.

Yes! It's already possible but disabled for now because I have to handle pin collisions with cool animations ;)

Thank you. I'll add the current state of the helper to the installer screen.

The system helper has to be installed only once. Root access is only needed to place the system helper to your system apps so it gets granted two permission and can share them with the PinTasking app. You didn't had to install it again because you didn't remove it.

What do you mean with buggy? Task switching? Pin animations?

Do you mean that removed pins just reappear randomly? I'll look into possible causes. Could you install a special version of PinTasking and provide me some logs?

Hi PhinxApps ,

reason i had to install it second time was that , Pintasking did not show up in my Superuser app ( even though it was working fine ) thus by reinstalling Helper,must have triggered SU and was showing now in SU and i can " grant /deny etc " PinTasking ?

....................................................................................................

hi,

yes i think "buggy " is not correct description .As your post #24 states above..... ....." removed pins just reappear randomly?" Plse note that this only, happens on my Note 4 N910F ,lollipop v5.0.1,

On my Note 8.0 Android v4.4.2 no problems ..working fine !

Yes ,no problem,you just have to explain ect ..what you want me to do.....( re:logs etc )

good luck
[Android Apps and Games] ggclanlord:
I did manage to get more than two pins. And all was fine, until I opened the Chrome browser and when all the pins disappeared. PinTasking got closed cos of low ram maybe?

Also, remove when screen off option is off. And also, ignore pinned tasks as previous.

And more than two pins being aside, I believe larger functionality focus on the pins disappearing.

Does the update from yesterday support non-root mode? Thanks!

Can there be an option to automatically pin Web link to the bubbles instead of waiting for it to load on chrome and then pin.

I would like to know, is it possible to have more than 1 pin? I think I had it as such at the beginning but after customizing a bit it seems to have disappeared any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] agrajaghh:
Is it possible to remove the "tap to open the settings" notification? You just have to start the app to go to the settings...

Or ist this notification needed for PinTasking to stay "alive" in the background? If thats the reason, would it be possible to disable this notification for root users?
[Android Apps and Games] PhinxApps:
Forgive me guys for this late response. I worked really hard on a non root mode and I found a way that doesn't restart apps on switching and is quiet reliable. The next update will extend the beta period because I need more time to implement and test it beside current bugs.

-> [MENTION=5102294]JoeFCaputo113[/MENTION]

This is a normal behavior. An uninstall of PinTasking doesn't remove the helper and the helper doesn't need any root rights.

I'll implement a secret button to report such illegal states of the app and pn you a short instruction.

You'll be able to do this with chrome when I finish the multiple pins feature. Do you use this http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...t-tasks-in-the-app-switcher-but-its-optional/ ?
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Sweet man! Thanks for notifying me. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] PhinxApps:
Yes I'm working on this feature.

Yep I have to bother you with a notification because of this reason.

You can hide all notifications for an app in it's "App Info" but this will also hide all toasts for this app. I'm working on my own implementation for toasts to solve this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Hampa_D:
No lollipop for me, not yet not until the rest of the few apps I use that's lacking lp compability is fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] MaxMusaab:
If ur on lollipop, just tap n hold the notification in ur drawer and then it will tame u to settings where u can choose to block all notifications from this app ?
[Android Apps and Games] ravijani:
area which allows you to pin is keeps flashing blue tint over status bar on note 4 5.0.1. Allow to make it invisible.

btw nice app. I might use it instead pop up window in samsung devices.

hi PhinxApps,

i have Note 4 N910F, rooted, stock Rom, Lollipop .. 5. 0.1

installed latest version (hotfix?)

from Play store. I found that Pintasking is not working at all.!

1....

(I might be able to pin a page or not)

2..

It also does not want to switch pinned tasks (as previous versions)

3 It still showing "pinned tasked"

that i never selected.. eg phone or messages, everytime i try to pin something!... over and over..!

Plse advise, Thank you

good luck

plse note.. after logging above post, i checked my other device.

i am sure its a Lollipop issue, as i tested Pintasking on my Note 8.0 ( Android v4.4.2.. rooted, stock Rom) and.. no problems, works fine,... switching pinned tasked etc.? No issues that i can notice/see

good luck

hi , PhinxApps

update to" issue" in my post above .....

Thanks to quick response ,my issue was sorted !!

A simple reboot( ? ) fix issue !

Pintasking working sofar smooth on both my devices , Note 4 and Note 8.0

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] ravijani:
sorry for late reply. i confirm its fixed now. thanks for update.

Chrome issues

No matter which mode I put Chrome in, it doesn't work. It just opens Chrome with the quick actions on the bottom. Rooted OnePlus One running CM12S.

Edit: actually, the problem only occurs when I open the first tab. After that it works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] PhinxApps:
What do you mean? Background opening/ collecting?

A link will always open with the "quick actions" bar while chrome is NOT pinned. Pin Chrome to use this feature.

[Android Apps and Games] Xerionius:
I've been looking for an App like this for a while now and I love it, good job! Looking forward to purchasing it. But am I missing something out or can you pin only one app? It would be important for me to be able to pin more than one.

Question asked and answered:

It looks like just a matter of time before this feature is available!
[Android Apps and Games] Xerionius:

Just wanted to publicly state how awesome this app is! The dev is on top of things as well!

Looking forward to supporting this with the purchase of the PRO version!
[Android Apps and Games] don_browarro:
This app looks very promising. I installed it yesterday and I spotted some issues:

1)Options for "Custom action on Home screen" can be found in 2 places: in "Swipe pad" menu and "Assist action". Why they are duplicated?

2)It seem that "Custom action on Home screen" is not working properly or I don't fully understand how it should work.

I understand that when I am on a homescreen, I can choose a different action but it doesn't change app behaviour, no matter what app I select (I have Google, Opera and Greenify on the list).

It looks like my launcher (Action Launcher 3) is treated as normal app, not as a homescreen.

3)Could you add a blacklist feature. I am using a custom lockscreen app (C Locker) and I would like to disable PinTasking touch area when C Locker app is active.

Currently it's blocking me from using your app as I can completely bypass lockscreen this way.

I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Kitkat 4.4.2, stock with root

Hope that my notes will be helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] Kalentia:
Is there any kind of estimate as to when Chrome Prerender mode will be available?

The application is pretty useful. Kudos to the dev. But there is one little thing. When I unlock my phone the blue colored trigger region keeps on blinking. Which is very annoying
[Android Apps and Games] humkitumki:
Wonderfull app :)

Really worth to pay the money for. Hope you will fix the cons before you make it to pro feature such as opening more than one bubble, when reopening from screen off the bubble wont go away and will stay at his place. Other than that this is one awesome app and very usefull.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Any updates for the non-root mode?! Really wanna try this app out!

any updates for 5.1.1?
[Android Apps and Games] PhinxApps:
Sorry guys, I thought the Beta ends on June 9. I didn't manage to include the recent changes in this update (non-root mode). I'll have a lot more time for this project from this week on and hopefully release a stable version.

I'm sorry!

0.9.6-beta:

- one bugfix

- extending beta until june 22

[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
I have this other app installed "Easy Copy". It shows (sort of an overlay) when you copy something to clipboard. If I pin with it visible I pin Easy-Copy and not the app that I copied from. My first feeling is that this needs an adjustment. I looked for a blacklist but I didn't find one for this purpose.

Thanks for a very handy tool...eases multitasking

Please do publish the tutorial
[Android Apps and Games] daniello8:
I really like the general concept of this App .. thanks for developing it. I do find the use of it confusing sometimes.

I have two basic cases that I'd like to see implemented but it doesn't seem to work this way .. at least not strictly as I come to a point where I don't really understand what's happening anymore.

1. One sided Pin

Pin an app and the pin stays there forever without changing the icon.

Pin another app and I get a second pin that also stays there forever.

Forever means until I either pull them to the bin (one by one) or use the remove all pins from the status.

I guess this would be my preferred case.

2. Two sided Pin

Pin an app and the pin stays that way.

Navigate through apps. Once I use the pin change the other side to the App I came from.

When I use the pin again change the other side to the app I came from.

etc.

Ignore "home" in this mode would be appropriate. So the pins should stay like they are when you go home inbetween two toggles.

I didn't find it to work either way .. if I missed something please help me.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Thanks. Am equally confused. That's why requested for tutorial in previous post

Hi [MENTION=4318088]PhinxApps[/MENTION].

So this is one handy tool and I have been searching a while for something like this.

I will gladly pay for the pro when it is out except the one issue that is bothering me. "The swipe pad" I would have thought that i nice little app like this would at least have a more customize-able activation area. But all i got was left, right or center and then half the hight or full hight.

Please ad some customize-able features to the swipe pad like size of the activation area or where it is located and so on.

Thank you.

Can we have pins remove themselves when the pinned apps close? Also, can we have pound that persist without changing icons when app is visible? Also, a pinned pin drawer? :)

Can you add more options for pin on home screen. Like access to shortcuts or activities. I would love to be able to use my gravity box shortcuts or do a direct messeage to my Wife, turn on a flashlight, Start google maps with driving directions to my house. You get the idea. It would just be better with more options.

Hello. But I coujdnt get it - can I use bubbles like permanent launchers for a number of apps I want to hold them on the screen all the time, without last, pre-last task, auto-hiding-disappearing and randomly showing up without any control? Is there some version with permanent bubbles exists?

And ... silence ....
[Android Apps and Games] Creed14:
I love this idea, and I'll start using it as soon as shortcuts become available! I want to use it with GMD Gesture Control.
[Android Apps and Games] EQ2000:
Excellent app and idea. I see you will implement color options for icons and perhaps a good idea would be to allow to set transparency for them to? Also allow for customisation of the blue settings icon red bin icon. Right now they are way to big and to colorful. Maybe a version with round semi transparent icons aswell as smaller?

I also assume the option "Skip window animation" is for rooted users as I bought pro and it is not available for me on stock non-rooted 5.0.2.

system helper

hi ,

i have previously installed the system helper(as system app) and removed it using "es explorer". Now again i have installed the "system helper" within app, but while verifying root access it keeps prompting for "reboot" and i don't see the "pintask system helper" in list of apps(checked system app list as well). so i tried using your "installer.zip" in google drive. and through recovery installation succeed, but app actually doesn't get listed in installed app; if try "system helper remover zip", it s"file is corrupt" in recovery

anything else to try ?

btw, love your app, great work! :)

Great app. I noticed that memory usage is quite low as well.

•automatic recreation of pins after an update or reboot

Any word on when the persistent pins will be added (i.e. remain after a reboot)? That would really seal this as the best multi-tasking app out there. My only other item on the wish list would be a pin that does what the swipe pad can do -- "alt-tab" to the last used application.

Again, fantastic work!

Hi,

The app is great and very usefull.

I have suggestions that could help me using the app :

-Conditional apparition of application bubble : I'd like to show some bubble only if a particular app is in front and other bubble with différente app

-Tasker scripting : I'd like to show bubble link to some tasker profile. When i'm in the car and BT connected, i'd like to see application GPS bubble for exemple.

Hey guys loving this app! Using it sometimes. Now I just had some ideas for this to make it work better.

1. I take heaps of screenshots and I don't want the bubbles on the pic can we create a always on screen shot button that when pressed will make all buttons hide then take a screenshot and once screenshot is done and then all buttons come back.

2. Maybe a button when held down will give a option to sort then like 4corner split or like how facebook chat has the bubble heads work and connect them all together or free style

Would love this app more

As I don't know if the app is being actively being updated, I am posting the feature requests I sent to the developer via email.

1) Would be great if there was an option to open Google+ links with Google+ app, reddit links with a reddit app, YouTube links with its app and so on.*

I see we can already save the preferred app in the toolbox on the right corner, but would be nice to have an option to open that app directly.

2) Option to open links in bubbles as default,without having to click on the pin in the toolbar.

3) Ability to create shortcut to pin apps. This way I can add an action in the quick tiles in the notification drawer or add a button in the navigation bar to quickly pin apps without having the persistent notification.
