[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
I have a knack to take up old android projects that have been left in the dust and see if they have potential with our current devices and most used Android OS. This current project takes place of something that some of us remember and some of us that never even knew that it existed because the basic functionality of it was eh... So...Here we go.

Welcome to the Slab Open Beta! Slab is currently in development and you will encounter things of un-natural application behavior or just not working.

Slab is a fork of CyanogenMods CMhome application from cm11 rebooted as a Material application and supporting On-Tap on Android 5+. Android N is not officially supported at this time, more testing is underway. Slab will be open sourced in do time once everything is back to working order. My goal is to see this application back in CyanogenMod builds but I'm probably asking for to much.

Slab is a Dashclock extension host application that uses Dashclock widget apps and showcases them in a dashboard like approach. Use the most right fab to clear the "Slab" and use the most left fab to refresh the "Slab". Use the middle fab to bring up a bottom menu of which has a built in Google Search method for users who want to replace Google On-Tap with Slab. To set Slab as a On-Tap application, navigate to the app settings in the android setting and select the menu item default apps, than select assist apps and choose voice application as Slab. If the "Slab" is clear on launch, simply press the clear fab and refresh fab.

Current Issues:

Slab is still experiencing some force closes on entering and exiting so just ignore those until I find methods around them. Click on the Check menu item to exit the application without it hanging and causing errors after you've exiting and it monitors Dashclock Extensions successfully.

Some Extensions are locked to Dashclock Widget which is running out of date and I hope 3rd party extension devs take the time to understand this and allow them to be more free for apps like Chronus and Slab.

I want Slab to operate without the Dashclock Widget app installed.

Goal is to allow it to monitor Extensions without the use of Dashclock Widget installed.

Contributing:

If you'd like to contribute and have free time, I'll push this to github sooner than I plan to only if devs actively want to contribute. I don't want a grab and go operation. If no one wants to contribute than be patient with updates as I maintain other more important projects. This one is just for experience and free time.

Works well on AOSP and CyanogenMod firmware. Im building this application using Android Studio on Ubuntu 16.10, A Nexus 7 2013 with an AOSP 7.1 rom I built myself (Usually flashing different roms for different project reasons), my HTC10 and ofcourse the Virtual SDK.

Again, Application is not complete so some things are either not working correctly or null.
