That was the idea... Thought it was overriding on touch... I'm stumped in that case
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Any thoughts on adding a compass ? Weather tile. Please rework it soon so it reliably updates. Aren't I persistent?. Want your app to get 5 stars by others and not to find excuses not to. Won't ask again. ..?
[Android Apps and Games] astonat:

[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Working on refining everything, just look at the updates... Weather is in the cards bud.

Compass is an interesting one but it wouldn't be very granular... Maybe as a pop-up activity
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Screen record keeps crashing. App has stopped. Nexus 6 , 7.0. non rooted .I did give it storage permissions. Thanks LeeDroid.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Wow, at what point is it crashing? No issues at my end
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Press Tile. Popup. Pressed Start recording. Crash.. Shortcutter has stopped. Repeatedly. Do I need something playing to use it? Additional permission needed that I don't have granted?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Sounds like you clicked dont ask again and deny on the media projection permission popup, I'm not actually sure how to get around that or identify it yet, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the app.

Try this version.. the read frame buffer permission is restricted so it's a nightmare if denied

[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Ok. Uninstalled. Got SystemUI Has Stopped error right after. No lingering effects though. Rebooted then reinstalled. Screen recorder still gives that error. My phone won't let me install your Dropbox file. Third party sources is checked. Non Rooted Nexus 6, 7.0
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Just fixed it... No default recording dir! Pushed to play

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nh3f7k9r897jy9v/shortcutter.apk?dl=0

You have to download to the device from DB then install from a file browser.

Also added additional icon backgrounds & improved custom activity & app launching
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Just updated from Google Play. 3.56. It works now and thank you. One issue though. Start recording and it brings up the Wallpaper ,Widgets screen settings selection. ( you know when you press and hold the dot and brings up those options on the bottom of the home screen). I'd have to navigate out of that so that's part of the recording. Other than that, working good. Appreciate what you're doing here.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Ah yes, the intent called sends you to the home screen, I will see if I can change that ;)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
More updates pushed to beta guys... Change log in the play store.

Improved sidebar header.. cleaned a ton of code up & added a bunch of new shortcuts

Looking sweet
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Custom font size added, improved header, improved scaling, Bluetooth tile, expand QS and notifications tiles and loads more done :)

All in the play store stable branch.

Guys... If you haven't left a review yet... Please do!
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Sorry? Lol
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

I updated to v3.6.6 :good:

Could you please increase the number of Sidebar columns to 6 or 7? I'd like to increase the size of my icons and need extra columns to do that ;) .
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Yeh, no problem!.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Great! What do you think of putting the sidebar icon size and icon text size settings next to each other? ;)

I guess that would break the Tiles/Icon and Tile Label category logic :confused: . Maybe combine both categories?
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

Five sidebar columns in beta v3.6.7 is :good: . Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Cool, couldn't go any higher as the size of the over all view is restricted by its window type, it just started getting messy.

Just got a 1 star review in the play store from an LG user on 6.0 :(
[Android Apps and Games] coolguy_16:
Can you add coin flip as a tile in this? And caffeine tile too(the one that delays screen timeout by defined amount of time)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Already got screen wake, but yes as there is no timer on it :)

Coin flip is a cool idea!
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Stable branch updated guys..

V3.7.6:

* Added the ability to map Shortcuts to custom tiles!

- All system provided shortcuts available, direct dial, profiles, direct message, maps shortcuts, tasker shortcuts etc.

* Screen record and capture now scales to native device display size, removing black boarders on devices with navigation bars.

* Increase available Quick Settings custom tiles to 10

* Fix some apps with alternative launch intents failing to launch

* Bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] guidogsbn:
Being on the last beta version I miss changing sidebar background transparency (maybe combined with background colour setting?), which would be very nice to have, if possible. Still I have to read the tutorial how to map shortcuts. I'm a bit slow,hehe:cool:

Are there still translation helps needed? The App was translated into german for about 80% but now it is back to full english since a short time. I have not enabeled 'force english'.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Hey Guido,

You can still change sidebar background and transparency, see my screen :eek:

There isn't really a toutorials for shortcuts, just enable a custom tile, give it a click, select shortcut & follow the steps until it closes :)

[MENTION=4467761]4an[/MENTION]tagonist is working in German translations, hopefully wont be long, there is a lot of work involved ;)
[Android Apps and Games] decmk:
Hi [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION]

Thanks for the great app, but leatest version with shortcut support don't have icon on tasker shortcut. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Hi, I'm not totally sure what you mean bud?

I can link a tasker profile via a shortcut, but tasker needs to be running as an accessibility service for it to work
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
2 tasker shortcuts applied & working, please see below, I don't use it my self but purchased for testing purposes
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Couple of of other ideas LeeDroid. Add:

1) Moon phase tile

2) Simple Currency exchange converter tile.

3) Sand Hourglass ⌛ icon tile with configurable timer .

4) Elevation tile (above sea level, altitude)

Still think a compass would be real nice and weather update intervals that we discussed (default, 15min, 30min, 1hr).
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Wow.. some seriously complex ideas there lol.. but I will add them to the to do list ;)
[Android Apps and Games] guidogsbn:
Thank you, silly old man from Germany forgot to open his eyes, sorry!:laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] decmk:
This is shortcut to tasker task.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Did you assign an icon in tasker? That looks like a transparent PNG has been assigned, if no image is returned then my default tile icon is used, so it's getting something from tasker
[Android Apps and Games] decmk:
Yes, I have assigned, icon is shown on first picture.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Ah, wonder if it's a vector asset causing issues as it can't be encoded, stored to shared Prefs and decoded.. try assigning an image from another category and you should get a different result, I will see what I can do
[Android Apps and Games] smaug117:
Great work
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Cheers!... Looks like I'm getting trolled by another device group in the play store at the moment.. reviews were looking great
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
What do you mean by "another device group"?

I just went through the Play Store reviews and marked most of the low ones as unhelpful. Suggest other Shortcutter supporters do the same. Should have also marked the good ones as helpful.

It's a shame that some people leave inappropriate negative reviews without contacting you for help first.

Can you put this XDA thread link on the Play Store and in the Shortcutter app itself? That might help.

I updated to the latest beta :) :good:

One of the other reviewers mentioned tiles not working on an LG, so that's two of us. Very odd, as I can't think of any other apps that don't work on LGs.

Keep up the stellar work, Lee. :)
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
I just did what you suggested as marking the low scored ones as unhelpful because they are. What effect does that have though? [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION].. Unfortunately many people are so lazy, they want everything to work "out of the box". Shame they couldn't just email their concerns first. If I were you, I'd put in bold on the top of your description " Encounter any issues, email for quick support before leaving negative feedback/rating. Something like that... You may want to put" May Not be fully compatible with LG devices" as well.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Thanks very much both!.. going to see if I can get my hands on an older LG this week at work and have a play, sure I can squash that issue :)

Adding the XDA link is a good shout I think, will get on it.. strange that people don't use the email link as much as I would expect when they have concerns...

As far as effect goes, play store ranking takes into account number of crashes & freezes, as well as reviews.. I'm currently coming up in position 4 when you search quick settings which is very positive!.. the higher it gets in the play store, the more likely it is to appear in apps recommended by Google ;)

None the less, I am going to get to work on the UI in an attempt to monkey proof it a little ;)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Got an LG Xcam on 6.0 and the same issue can be seen... The grid items are overriding the on item touch event... Struggling to find a way around it but I will persist
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Cool :) . I'm sure you'll figure it out.
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Play Music tile is broken . Doesn't open anything now. I do see an improvement in the speed of the on/off reflected in the battery saver icon. No more delay of icon change. Great job there LD.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Glad to hear it!.. I will have a look at play pause, all it does at the moment is send the same broadcast that pressing the button on a head set does,
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Play/pause working on my phone with latest beta. :)

Every time I update to new beta, settings shows clicker switch off even though it's showing in sidebar :) please check on that. Thanks :good:

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

Hi Lee,

I'm starving for more custom app tiles if you get a chance to add more ;)
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Play Music tile use to open a music app . It no longer does that. Wasn't just a play/pause.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
More!?!?.. ok lol

It fires a play broadcast but the music app in use needs to have that broadcast receiver built in, always been the same :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Hmm. Strange. It use to open my Jetaudio music player. Now it doesn't. Haven't had any updates to that app recently. Edit. Ok.. there needs to be a track that has been in play for the tile to work. It opens now. Thanks again LD.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Is it set as default? Maybe a setting to enable headset button receiver?

Getting really irritated with some of the heejits in the play store :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
I've updated my previous post. It opens now. I'll help you as much as possible and mark these rubbish comments as unhelpful as I see them. No reason for one throw a one star rating without justification.
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

If we mark the useless reviews as both inappropriate and unhelpful does that have any impact? I'm going to start doing that anyway.

We should also mark good ones as helpful while there :) .
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
It doesn't impact the overall rating but it does reduce visibility, the biggest gripe for me is that most of them provide 0 insight to try and improve, just pure ignorance
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
You did a great job on the updated UI. As a suggestion, I think the home screen of the app should showcase what the app can do and shortcuts to/description of the settings. The social media /contact overwhelms the presentation in a way. Maybe instead put the social media/email/website icons below the page and underneath put like,follow,support, and website underneath the corresponding icon. Just a suggestion LD. Thanks again for working hard on this app.
[Android Apps and Games] guidogsbn:
3.8.8 and in german now, that's top of the best, thank you [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] for the excellent App and [MENTION=7328792]4ntagonist[/MENTION] for finding the right words in german! It's my favourite app now:good::good:
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Good and noted suggestions as always :)

Cheers Guido! :)
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
LeeDroid. Is there a way to resize the trigger for sidebar ? Is the size dependent on the amount of tiles selected?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
It's a fixed height and with at present... But I will add an option to scale it, mine is usually transparent so I never notice
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Ok. Thank you. I didn't realize the slider on the bottom for transparency:cyclops:. I was adjusting with the circle. I set mine to transparent as well. Appreciate you adding the option to resize it.

Update: I find the side bar uses around 300mb of RAM. Is that normal? I see two services in use:

leedroid.shortcutter.com

Google Play services (geodataservice).

I wonder if having the weather tile is the reason for this and that there's a lot of wakeups even when the screen is off. Possibly the weather tile is updating while screen is off. Thoughts?

Update2: Notice you can't disable Night Light or Rounded Corners for sidebar within app. Gives a pop-up to grant permissions but doesn't toggle off if you don't grant it. Clicker doesn't stay toggled off within app.

Just trying to help as much as I can. Never been a beta tester for an app but this is the first I found to be worthwhile.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
It's all appreciated!

Ram usage goes up for a few moments when the sidebar is expanded as all of the tiles are updated, guess I could put an immediate trim on it when population has finished, although the system reallocates memory pretty well these days.

No, night light is a standalone activity, but rounded corners is toggling fine for me when accessibility is enabled ( the same as screen filter)

Weather tile only updates when the status bar pulldown is Expanded so I'm doubtful that it would cause any wake-ups, all services are dormant when the screen is off
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
When nothing is active (sidebar/pulldown), app still uses around 200mb of ram in running services. Not a huge issue but it'd be nice for the app to be as battery friendly as possible when not in use.

If a user decides not to grant accessibility permission for whatever reason, they can not remove the Rounded Corners tile or Night Light tile from sidebar. The Clicker tile toggle within the app keeps appearing as on when you go back to the settings even if you change it to toggle it off.

I found a small app to get developer options shortcut. It really would be nice to have that shortcut Incorporated within this app. Running services activity doesn't go to running services in Dev options, it shows lists of apps. Thanks LD and your quick responses.
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Hi Lee,

Every time I enter Shortcutter settings, it shows the sidebar clicker switch as off, even though it's on like I want it to be. If I toggle the switch on, then back off, the clicker tile does get disabled as expected.

Seems that Shortcutter settings software is not reading the actual state of clicker tile for the clicker switch and just defaults to show switch in off position. I've mentioned this a while back ;) - should be an easy fix for you :) . Look forward to a few more custom tiles if possible.

Cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
It will be something stupid no doubt, will have another glance later
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
I will make a few modifications, that request shouldn't really be popping up when revoking or turning services off.

Fyi.. accessibility service only runs when you are in the settings or an app installer, it's dormant the rest of the time
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Op updated!
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Good news... Latest Beta is up to 3.9.0

* Increase Side Bar custom tiles to 30

* Allow running Screen Filter & Round Corners without accessibility

* Add option to assign web link/URL to Custom Tiles

* Only request permissions when enabling toggles

* Added XDA thread link

* Bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

Thanks for the extra tiles and new features. :good: . I can't imagine needing more tiles now ;) .

Web link for "https://www.google.com/search?q=Shortcutter" gives a INVALID URL error message. Maybe the question mark or equal symbols are not handled correctly?

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
What's the address you are linking too? Validation is a pain
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Link was/is in my post ;)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Oh yeh... Just type Shortcutter :) Google search is already appended..

Just improved the logic a little... If you type smeg into the URL box, it will search smeg s, if you type in LeeDrOiD.co.uk it will take you to the site ;)

I will have to add some examples to the dialog
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

Give me a link that works for you. Everything I try fails :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
See above, also bumped to 3.9.1
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Strange, but I tried all your suggestions and they're all failing for me with 3.9.1 :confused: .

I get invalid url even with LeeDrOiD.co.uk
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
How bizzare!.. I need to play
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
392.. more validation :)

Fingers crossed!
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
By jove, you've done it - brilliant mate :) :good:

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Whoop whoop! :highfive::cool:
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Hi Lee,

If I have the sidebar visible, then press the phone back, home, or recent buttons, sidebar stays visible.

I can see some wanting that behavior, if that's the way you designed it. What do you think about making it an option that sidebar would close if one of those buttons is pressed? Or at least for the back button?

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Great job on the new update LD. Thanks for not requiring accessibility for Screen Filter and Rounded corners although I didn't mind granting it. The weather pulldown tile is unreliable again. Past few versions, the tile was updating and was mostly keeping in line with other apps current weather conditions/ temp. I notice you added a note in your app intro about battery optimization and turning it off as Android may kill some services. Would that apply to the weather tile? Great job modifying the front page and giving an intro to your app.:good:

BTW.. Do you use CF lumen for screen filter?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
It's possible.. but & this is a big but... It would need an always on accessibility service to intercept the button presses, you can't listen for key press in a service/dynamically created view
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
I haven't touched weather yet bud, not a single character of code changed.. battery saving would affect it, only location services.

No, I use my screen filter, no point in CF lumen really lol.

Really in need of translators
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
You could put Promo code for translators in your xda title. That might generate some interest. Free pro version for them. Incentive.
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
If it doesn't fit in with the way things are implemented currently - maybe we just shelve the idea for now.

On my device, Shortcutter has been granted Accessibility Access and there's a service always running - is that the same service you are referring to below?

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] BustedFly:
I use a S7 Edge with SuperMan Rom 2.6.

The bug is still present. The PowerMenu works only one time. Then only for 1ms.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Yes, but if it were constantly watching for button presses it would be a lot more demanding in resources than it is now, the current service is dormant and only starts really running when you enter settings or package installer

Have you tried doing it with my sidebar? Sounds to me like the accessibility service could be getting killed by the system
[Android Apps and Games] 4ntagonist:
Update 3.9.3 is not so good. Will have a look at the German files on GitHub tonight.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Cheers buddy, any refinements are appreciated, strings is a lot cleaner than it was, will probably go stable in a few days time.

Let me know if any of you spot any issues in the beta or have any suggestions for UI improvement, it's my main focus at present
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Hey guys... I am moving Shortcutter Beta to Google+, only users in the Shortcutter community will be able to participate.

https://plus.google.com/communities/103202615559649446993

If you were on the old beta, don't forget to leave a review before you dive back in :)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
So how do this work? Where do we get the beta versions from now :confused: . The Play Store or what?

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

Okay, so I see you have to click on/expand "About community" to reveal the hidden Play Store Beta Opt-in link :) .

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Lee,

What's the advantage for you to move beta opt-in to the Google+ Shortcutter community? Is beta v3.9.5 currently the latest? Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Bud Horn:
Hi guys. I'm just beginning to learn about shortcutter sidebar. How do I rearrange the app buttons when I've specified which ones I'd like in shortcutter sidebar? I cannot drag them to a new position when I open shortcutter....

Thx guys.

/Bud
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Press button down then drag works on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] BustedFly:
No I don't use the site bar. It is mysterious :)

First click is good... I can see and touch reboot etc... But when I clear the screen and push the power button again in the raw for GPS, wifi etc... I can see the reboot menu only for 1ms..and I can't push any button.... I'm not so fast ;:)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Yeh that's bizzare, could be a ROM issue? I can't replicate on my U11 ROM, the pixel or stock Samsung when testing :-/
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

If I opted into beta on Google+ Shortcutter community, should I expect to see Shortcutter in BETA tab in Play Store app as before? Please let me know what the latest beta version is when you reply.

Cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Latest is 396, pushing 397 in a moment.

I can confirm it is working but it won't show the (Beta) tag as it used too.. I will start adding beta tags in the app moving forward
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Great! Was going to say there's no beta indicator, but you're on top of that. :)
[Android Apps and Games] MrTonyToca:
Anyone know if or how shortcutter is working with the Galaxy Note 8? Thanks. I had it with my S8+ and Im missing it already lol
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
It should be 100% working on the Note 8 buddy :)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

I updated to v3.9.9, but I'm not seeing anything indicating beta either in Shortcutter settings or in Play Store app. Also Shortcutter is not in the Play Store app BETA tab. :confused: . Please clarify what we should be seeing and expecting. Thanks :)
