Its a really nice launcher, and I try to completely shift to it, but there is a problem, that might be simply solved...

If I use the call function, it only calls the home number. Most of the time I need the mobile number instead. How can I choose the right one?
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
What do you mean?

Are you using the latest play store version?

If you're using the latest play store version you can long click on the contact suggestion to get a list of the phone numbers associated with that contact

So I am looking for a really lightweight launcher for my tablet on CM9 and I think this might be the most lightweight I can get but I want to make sure first: how much RAM does it use cause my tablet has only 256MB RAM?

And another question is if I could use this to run scripts from the internal storage as root cause that's really a must for me since Bluetooth can only be enabled from a script, right now I am using a Scrip Manager Widget on Trebuchet to run it so I won't have to open any app in order to just run the script but if I just had the terminal right there ready to run the script it would be good enough for me?

Hi. What's file open this? (File.?) Sorry for my english
[Android Apps and Games] Ilatnem:
First I'd like to tell you you did an awesome job and I'm currently using t-ui as my everyday launcher.

I've noticed some issues (or maybe I'm just that bad with it) : I can't launch any Google play apps including the Play Store even though they all appear in the app list :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] jakir1912:
crashed my launcher...not recovering

I was playing with options with ur awesome launcher, when it went totally blank. I uninstalled n reinstalled several times but black screen persisted.. pls do something.. i'm in love with ur ui.
[Android Apps and Games] MixLeNain:
Try to delete t-ui folder, it will delete all the settings of the app :D

Hello!

With the latest update to 6.3j there are notifications on the console, so I not even have to open the program itself.

But sadly, there are always double posts on my screen, why is this so?

adding Chrome to apps.xml

Hi,

I'm stuck while adding Chrome to the apps.xml on my MotoG5

None of the "filenames" work...

I tried:

com.google.android.apps.chrome (with and without .webapps)

org.chromium.chrome.browser (with and without .webapps)

com.motorola.android.provider.chromehomepage

what am I doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S.: your launcher is awesome.I have so much fun fiddling around with all the options! :)

cheers Donald

can i install ubuntu on TUI Launcher like Termux Launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] TG111:
great
[Android Apps and Games] perrsona1234:
Is this alive? ??
[Android Apps and Games] Kevin9274:
No, because it doesn't have the repositories with the modified programs used on Linux distros. Termux is like a sandbox Linux distro, that is to say it is an advanced terminal emulator but not an OS by itself, to conform with Android's requirement.
[Android Apps and Games] gaosq:

I read something about character encoding, but I think I'm not understanding the problem.

What is it? Characters aren't recognized?
[Android Apps and Games] Me‎:
Well I just tried calling again using a different name, apparently I just misspelled the name I tried when I asked you lol.

Long story short, what I asked for already works :).
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:

You are awesome! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:

Does a new soundtrack starts when the last is over? or do you have to type "next" every time?
[Android Apps and Games] Me‎:

[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
Changelog: 1.4.1

- fixed a problem in onCompleteListener (now the next soundtrack starts automatically when the current is over)
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
I made a stupid mistake, 1.4.1 fixed the problem :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] Me‎:
Yep now it plays the next song. Anyway to get it to tell me that? Like the first time it starts it says "Playing ..." can it do that every time? or a "music/song info" command?
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
I think that it's better in this way...

using next, restart, previous or play, you get an output message, but automatic playback is made is made because people don't look at the homescreen every time a song changed...

sorry :p
[Android Apps and Games] Me‎:
I edited the message: " or a "music/song info" command?"

See your point about the first one
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
This is possible, I think

I will do something as soon as I can :D

Cool new update!

But I seem to have lost scroll functionality for the file manager. Do you know what may have caused this?
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
I have no idea..

Does it happens in very folder?
[Android Apps and Games] Me‎:
I can't really check all the folders. But in all the ones I have checked I cannot scroll
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
I really have no idea...

try to uninstall/install, or to clear data

anyway, you should install play store version
[Android Apps and Games] Me‎:
I am on play store version, clearing data helped. Thanks! :)

I updated the Play Store page. and there is also a new icon! :D
[Android Apps and Games] smjrifle:
Loved this, using play store version, I was searching for something like this for a long time. Finding new ways to interact with android and what more can Linux lover want. Thank you so much for the app.

Few Questions:

1. How do I go back to previous command? like run last run command or two steps behind,

2. in case of faulty command, can the whole command not be erased, as there's spelling mistake most of the time and correcting that is easier

3. Can we have a lockScreen, just like a login promt when device unlocks :D

4. How did you come up with this awesome idea?

5. How are you so awesome?
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
I'm turning red :o

thank you for this great comment, it's fantastic for me to know that users like my work :D

ok, so:

5) too nice ;)

4) the idea comes when a TXT user (Luke Winward) wrote me an email, in june, when I was leaving school. (TXT is a fully textual launcher I developed) [auto-marketing time]. he told me his idea, and he helped me to think as a user during the project development. Thank you Luke :D

3) I had this idea some days ago, I'm thinking about the features I could implement in a lock screen

2) I think that this may be uncomfortable... the input is erased everytime you open keyboard after hitting enter. and delete it manually may be a bad thing... i think... but there will be a config command soon for this, I think

1) in the first releases, the back button was the way, but now back jumps to the parent folder... maybe i will add a command in config also for this

thank you again, I'm happy that you like t-ui
[Android Apps and Games] smjrifle:

- last commands (max 20) are reachable by hitting back button (1 or more time)

- erase input field by long pressing back button

- new command "folderscolor". now, in files view, files and folders can have different colors

- new command "intelligentdeletion". toggle intelligent deletion (the entity who decides if your input field should be erased)

I also added a text that will be shown when the input field is empty

I probably won't post anything next week, because I will be in Norway (probably without WiFi connection :crying: )

sorry guys

anyway, tell me your ideas for next T-UI updates please

1.6 will have a custom lock screen :D
[Android Apps and Games] smjrifle:

tell me what you think :D
[Android Apps and Games] haranobuhardo:
Hi developer,

This is an amazing concept app, but i think there is some point that u can fix it soon

First, u like the concept but i dont like the design (the font, colour combination, or maybe its too simple?)

Second, i cant open bbm, even i use both upper case and lower case, it said "theres no such command"

Third, sometimes when i input some command it open random program that has no relation with the command that i have input, like if i input "mail", it always open gmail instead of my official miui mail app

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
The design is completely customizable (colors for every view in the screen). for the font, I will change something in the next releases.

for bbm and email: to choose the application that user want to launch, t-ui uses a library called CompareString, which chooses the most suitable String from a set of Strings. maybe there are some problems in there, but if you type the application name exactly (no matter lower/upper case or spaces) it will probably launch the right app.

anyway, did you install the play store version?
[Android Apps and Games] haranobuhardo:
I know that T-UI's colour is customable, and its default colour is the best set i think, but maybe u can design it like a real command prompt or terminal emulator

I've tried to launch bbm by inputing bbm, bb,bm,blackberrymessenger,com.bbm , but still this app cannot recognize any of it

The funny part is when i try to launch mail by inputing com.android.email(i have checked the package name) and BUM!, it launch my oxford dict lol

*i have the screenshot to proof it , but im a new member so i cant attach any thing yet

Im using this thread's apk, maybe its outdated (?) I havent try the ps version lol

EDIT------------

I updated to Playstore version , and it fix all my problem

Sorry for disturbing you lol, but really need font features
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
no problem, thank you for using t-ui ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
Changelog: 1.5.5

- bugfix

- created a shortcut to the parent folder in files view ("..")

- CompareString 2.1

- new FONT

tell me what you think :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] itazchu:
very very nice concept. just tried the latest version from playstore and I really love it. could you add feature to use system font instead of built in font in the app? and also can we edit the column's height of command and file explorer? I haven't found any config for this thing.
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
Yeah, sure ;)
[Android Apps and Games] EroSmith:
Looking forward for the furture improvments of this app (especially the shell column height :D). this is the best launcher I ve ever seen, motivated me to start learning linux shell.:fingers-crossed:

Just registered and first post, not sure it is appropreiate or not, but I want to ask for some help, like a command list or guide of this app for noobs like me?
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
Hey, I'm really happy that you posted first on xda for my app :D

you can get a list of all the commands using the command "help" (I also wrote it in the tutorial ;))
[Android Apps and Games] EroSmith:
Just tried and it works, for real I didn't know "help" is a command could be entered.

I am not a native English Speaker so can't really catch up the in-app tutorial, but everthing solved now,:highfive:Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
Ok, you find me here if you need help ;)
[Android Apps and Games] erriperry:
Play store said it was not compatible but I could install the apk from op :confused:

Suggestions: Could you add the command "su" for rooted users, please? Also could you add default colors in config mode so that you can do, for example, "inputcolor default".

Otherwise a nice launcher :)

Sent from my GT-S5360 (Galaxy Y)
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
not understanding the problem with play store...

for " su", i was thinking about a pro version, with this feature, but i havent decided yet

default colors are a nice idea:)

[Android Apps and Games] bozz.chard:
The uninstall button of this app is unavailable on the settings. Is that normal? I think it's not.

Is there a way to uninstall this app easily? Though I can delete this app directly from the system.

And when I type "config" the app force closes.

By the way, Great app :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
are you able to get a logcat?

for the uninstall button, it happens when you accept to give to an application the admin rights. if you want to uninstall, you have to go in settings>>security>>device administrators and uncheck t-ui
[Android Apps and Games] rahulbarai:
Good concept, it's giving my Linux desktop feel to some extent. Please add 'su' shell command and other 'busybox' integrations, otherwise it's incomplete being a Linux shell emulator. Looking forward for future improvements. Thank you. Wishing you good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] EroSmith:
Hi there again, finally I understood how to work with the commands and config mode, now I have changed all my phones and tablet to use this launcher, everythings is great. Thanks for building this awesome Launhcer:D

But just two question/suggestion :

Will it support or how to open apps named in other language, for example Japanese and Chinese?

And it would be great if a "enter" button on the screen to co-operate with last command function pressing back key.

P.S. not sure is mentioned or not, if enter the command "bgcolor FFFFFF" in config mode, wallpaper will show up:fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
hey, im happy that you understood:)

anyway, you can use chineese and similar languages names only writing they exactly... maybe an international keyboard, i dont knoe...

for the onscreen enter button, may it be useful?

When I type help and something that doesn't exist, like "help i", I get some java errors. (see attached screenshot)

Sent from my GT-S5360 (Galaxy Y)
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
Thank you for the warning, but, actually, I don't understand why you need to type "help i" ;)
[Android Apps and Games] erriperry:
I first noticed it when I typed "help intelligentdeletiob" but I were too lazy to write that here :p

It would be better if you used CompareString on built in commands too.

Another problem I noticed: I have an app called wifi password but when i type that it says something about arguments (probably because "wifi" is a built in command). Is there anything I can do other than writing the package name, because I don't want to remember that?

Sent from my GT-S5360 (Galaxy Y)
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
CompareString works in this way:

1) it decide what is the longer and the smaller string ("wifi" = smaller & "wifi password" is the longer)

2) remove any space and make the two strings lower case

3) take the smaller strings and loop over the longer strings, to check the occurences

for example:

1
wifi
wifi

2
wifi
ifip

3
wifi
fipa

4
wifi
ipas

5
wifi
pass

in this way :D

ok, so, is you write "wifi password", wifi is recognized as a command, and "password" automatically became an argument of wifi

to avoid this, just write something like "wifipassword" or "wifip" or "password" or whatever you want;)

- added Russian Translation (incomplete)
[Android Apps and Games] schmos:
This is surely one of the best launchers. Great work.

Feature Request: Please check if you can provide an option to have only the terminal (without file list) and keyboard open by default. Clicking on the top to type everytime is a little irritating at least for me. Just a request, your launcher, your decision.
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
I don't know when, but maybe in the future you will be able to hide/unhide the file list.

in next updates I will probably do something to allow you to decide when and how the keyboard can be opened

thank you for sharing your opinion
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
[MENTION=5932094]Andre1299[/MENTION] glad to see the ram usage decreasing in the latest release. (y) hope it will be more ram friendly as i use this launcher on my legacy device.

i have some reqs. plz include a command to force-close or kill a specific app, also include a killall command to kill all the background apps. & a command to restart the launcher itself will be good after changing the values in t-ui folder.

thanks again for this tiny launcher. hope to see active development & keeping the resources as minimal as possible. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
thank your post, I think I will implement the commands you requested. but, a command to restart the launcher already exists ;)

try "relaunch"
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
oops! didn't see that! thanks. maybe add a command to reboot the device too?

btw i am facing a little prb. some of my apps like uc mini, sd maid, shareit, quickpic etc. are installed on my sdcard. when i type the command 'apps', these apps are not included in the list. as a result i can't launch these apps. will u plz take a look at it?
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
yeah, I will. reboot needs root, I think
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
i think u should implement all the terminal emulator for android's facilities in this launcher. like all busybox commands, su shell launching, changing a file's permission or copying a file to root directory etc. it would be so cool as we will be able to do these stuffs without installing an extra app. i would really love these features to see in this launcher. those who don't want to use these features or doesn't have root can already ignore it's supersu permission. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
I know, but I'm 15, so I don't know many things about android programming, like root support in applications:p

I will read something about it
[Android Apps and Games] schmos:
Is this project still alive. Just checking, I know you have a life but just want to check if this is still alive. Really like the launcher and would love to see updates from you.
[Android Apps and Games] Andre1299:
still alive, I'm having some issues with the code. and I'm beginning school tomorrow:p
