Done and released :)

Don't hesitate to keep at me (in moderation of course)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Did you mean v3.1.6? I installed beta v3.1.7 and gave Shortcutter Accessibility Access and the service was running again :confused: even though I didn't have any tiles that required it. I disabled Accessibility Access for Shortcutter app again for now.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Accessibility services always run, they are persistent.

There isn't actually anything going on with it until you go into Settings or an app installer whilst screen filter & rounded corners are running, it will be using a few kB when running dormant.... They are persistent by design
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Okay, thanks. So re-enabled and will test like this. The biggest road block now is the delay between swiping and the toolbox opening :) . Hopefully you can resolve that in time. . .... Actually, it does seem much better now :) .

Cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Have you seen any improvement? The animations could be part of the delay but I really don't want to remove those as it looks pretty poor just appearing.

The initial load is quite heavy as all of the tiles are removed and re-added in the same order when opening, but that's down to the nature of them, each tile grabs it's own label, icon & state during the process.

Edit: just seen your edit!. Glad to hear it :)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Still a very noticeable lag on my Marshmallow device with v3.1.7. If you think it's the animation, maybe you can make that a switch option to disable animation?

I have another pie launcher on the same device that responds almost instantly upon swipe.

Thank you. :)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

I installed Shortcutter on a second device to do more Marshmallow testing, but my premium license is not being detected on the second device, so I can't enable the same number of tiles. Any suggestions on resolving the premium license issue? Thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Clear from recent Apps and re open, as long as you installed it from the same account it should resolve without issue
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Hi Lee,

Is it possible to make the trigger invisible or transparent? Once I set the position, it would be nice to have it optionally be totally invisible. :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Yep.. just set the transparency slider to 0..

Also... Here is a test version with some very big logic changes.. the sidebar now updates it's data in the background then updates the tiles (you should see it after about a second, especially on ram), probably a little work left to do on it but it would be good to see if it makes much difference.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nh3f7k9r897jy9v/shortcutter.apk?dl=0
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Fabulous work on the delay - it's lightning fast now :) .

I don't see the slider. Looks like I'm not getting the entire color picker screen. .. See image. Screen is 720p x 1280p.

Cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
That's good to hear!.. it's now not clearing data every time it opens, it simply refreshes when it needs to ;)

Wow!.. I'm guessing your dpi is pretty low... I will get that fixed ASAP!
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
320dpi 6" screen :) . Toolbox is lightning fast now - great optimization!

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

Lee,

One phone has higher dpi, so I can see the whole picker and found a minor annoying bug. Even if I change the color, then hit back button, it still applies the change instead of canceling the pick.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Ah yes, the dB is updated on every change, I hadn't considered cancellation
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
You must have partially considered it based on the wording at the top of the picker screen ;) . No worries - this is low priority.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Well yes, but I hadn't actually looked into it, I pick my colour and run with it lol
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

If you make any more dropbox versions, please increment the revision number so I can tell it apart from the latest beta version :) . Currently I have two v3.1.8s and multiple devices, so I'm easily confused ;)

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
I have made a few more changes in sidebar, bumped to 3.1.9 and pushed to beta ;)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Looks good. I hope the next version has a modified picker so I can make the trigger invisible with my low rez devices :) . Take the weekend off after all this good work :)

Cheers!

Beta v3. 1.9 on Marshmallow:

1. WiFi on

2. Swipe and WiFi tile shows enabled

3. Tap WiFi tile and it shows disabled after WiFi icon turns off

4. Tap WiFi tile (sometimes takes two taps) and status bar shows WiFi enabled, but tile won't show enabled unless I close/open sidebar. It likes the disabled state for some reason ;)

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

Hi Lee,

Okay, something to do with exiting the Shortcutter settings app is still clobbering CF.lumen screen filter.

1. CF.lumen screen filter running fine.

2. Enter Shortcutter settings and don't do anything.

3. Start YouTube and watch a video, open a browser, etc and CF.lumen screen filter is fine.

4. Go back to the Shortcutter settings app and select exit. CF.lumen screen filter becomes disabled as evidence by screen getting brighter at night.

It's does not appear to be RAM related based on my above test and does not happen normally. Something to do with Shortcutter settings exiting and Shortcutter sidebar restarting :)

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

Additional information: That happens even if sidebar is disabled from Shortcutter settings before the above test is even started, so seems entirely to do with Shortcutter settings exiting code.

Hope that helps narrow it down.

Very impressed by the stability and performance of Shortcutter sidebar on Marshmallow now. :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
More excellent feedback, I will look into the exit code and correct the picker dimensions asap ;)

Is this when using exit in menu? CF lumen could be hooking something I guess, but still sounds very strange
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Yes, is there another way to exit settings? I use lots of other apps and don't have this problem. Only other time it happens is if I'm installing an app. Mmm, could it have to do with the shortcuts Shortcutter installs to the phone if configured in settings for shortcuts?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Just hit home and clear it from recent apps, that's what I do
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
It's not the same on my phone. After swiping, Shortcutter is still using around 60MB RAM vs around 25MB if I exit from menu. Confirm that on your device please.

---------- Post added at 08:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

I also tried disabling all the shorts by turning all switches off in third tab, but it didn't fix the issue.

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

Another big clue: if I turn off Accessibility Access for Shortcutter, the problem with CF.lumen does not occur when exiting settings.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Then it's definitely too many floating Windows, the processes are being killed by your system..

However the Shortcutter screen filter works perfectly in tandom.

In terms of apps and memory, 60mb is a drop in the ocean considering what it does
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
I have a limited sized bucket, so every drop counts. I'm an appaholic. :) Yes, your code does seem efficient for what it does and I appreciate that.

What exactly is going on when I exit that causes RAM consumption to significantly drop? Also those floating windows coexist just fine until the monster bug in exiting settings surfaces. Fortunately, once I get things settled, I won't have to go into settings often.

Hope that the dpi rework is not going to be too difficult. Is there some xml file I can modify in the meanwhile :) ?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
When you go into settings it catches every window update, the same happens in package installer.. the reason for the behaviour is that you can't modify secure settings such as permissions when an overlay is present, so the accessibility service runs when in those 2 apps, captures the windows and if a secure window is detected it kills all overlays & restarts them when you come out of the secure activity.

Nah colour picker is all done in code unfortunately.

CF lumen should actually be detecting movement in settings too as the same would apply
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Pushed V3.2.0 to stable ...

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

Colour picker fixed.

More sidebar improvements!

Bug Fixes.
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

Beautiful work mate! :) Thank you!

I see you've been very busy and now up to beta v3.2.4 which is what I'm using - but from the Dropbox.

Colour picker appears entirely now on my devices. :)

What does root gain me in toolbox with M? Did I miss airplane mode and Bluetooth tiles or are they not there? Suggest adding "location" to label for that tile to be consistent with other tile labels.

The Accessibility switch disappears from Shortcutter settings once accessibility is granted. Is that how it should be?

On my second Huawei phone CF.lumen turns off, then immediately back on after I exit Shortcutter settings - not sure why the first phone doesn't work like that, so maybe a device specific issue to not look into further for you. :)

Cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] TotallyAnxious:
What do you think about having a shortcut for an in app advanced power menu? For those on roms without them. So basically clicking the tile makes a pop-up of apm but instead of it being the ROMs menu just the apps. If that makes sense.
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Hi Lee,

With the latest beta if I move tiles around in the toolbox, they don't retain the new position when the toolbox is reopened. You can move a tile, click on it, then watch it jump back to the old position :) .
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Make a few movement changes and it will correct its self, there must be something in the array it doesn't like, works perfectly from a clean setup
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Good idea for a root feature, will get on it :)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
I tried that multiple times before posting and the icons end up not being in the position displayed after the adjustment. One of the two ends up one position to the left of where it should be :( . I have not resorted to a fresh install yet.

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

If I move the next to last icon to the last position, basically to swap the positions, the change won't stay. Does that work test work for you?
[Android Apps and Games] h1ghland3r:
LeeDroid,

Any news about alternative battery icon ^^?

[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Hi Lee,

Tiles in the off state are difficult for me to see. Is it possible for me to make them brighter/more visible in the off state? Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Will add a separate colour for on and off ;)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Did you have the LED toggle in there before I killed it, or a toggle you haven't granted the correct permissions for?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Still on the to do list buddy, it's a big ass list :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Anas Rahman:
Anything that works on stock Lollipop?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Unfortunately not, the APIs used are only available on Marshmallow +
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
All permissions have been granted and no LED toggle tile was used.

If the permissions weren't granted, I'd hope that the tile would entirely dissappear or just not work vs not staying in the position I'm trying to move it to after it initially appears like it's going to stay where I dropped it :) . There are at minimum two tiles involved in a move, so look at the position of both when testing - and two tiles would be a trivial case that probably works fine.

It's really annoying that the Accessibility and Data switches disappeared from Shortcutter settings after I turned them on because I'd like to be able to turn them back off possibly without hunting for them for the phone settings menu.

Good thing is these are minor issues :) .
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
I have done loads of work on drag and drop recently.. testing from a clean install most of the time as that's when the glitches seemed to happen. I will keep investigating

I can change the switches so they stay present I guess ;)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
I do like the ability to move the tiles around, so would prefer to keep the function even if it's not working perfectly for me. ;) Maybe you'll find something later.

All permissions have been granted and data tile can neither turn mobile data on or off, but that's very low priority for me :) .

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

Lee, I use 4 TileBar columns. Could this be a factor with my tiles not staying in the position I expect after I move them?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
The drag drop uses the gridview position to find its start and location, ten removed and inserts into that position in the data array.. then re sets the adapter, it should be flawless but I will keep looking.

Data tile? The root mobile data tile? If so.. which device?

With permissions toggles always visible ;)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nh3f7k9r897jy9v/shortcutter.apk?dl=0
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

I'm on Dropbox beta v3.2.5 now. :) Switches are staying - very good.

I think the tile position issue I had was, as you said, caused by some internal discrepancy between actual number of tiles and what it thought. It's sorted and working now.

Yes mobile data tile not working on my Huawei Ascend XT H1611 - but really not an issue for me.

I have seen an occasional issue with trigger area becoming visible after I exit Shortcutter settings even though I didn't even go to that setting. If I just got back into settings and select the existing trigger color, it resolves itself and trigger is transparent again :)

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Cool.. grab from that Dropbox link again.. I have made some improvements ;)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Installed and I see version is still v3.2.5. What improvements should I be looking for :) ?
[Android Apps and Games] Anas Rahman:
Unfortunate. :( but I'll be buying a new phone and this will be among the first things That I'll try :)
[Android Apps and Games] copecu:
Hi,

I installed the app from Play Store and found it useful as expected.

I wonder if you have in your to-do list these options:

1. Option to hide the title of the icons.

2. Option to use an installed icon pack.

3. Option to add app shortcuts.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Improved logic on the permissions toggles you asked me to re add, that build is now in the play store

1. I like & will get added!

2. Pretty big job so won't be soon, but I guess it's possible, the tile states might be a pain of the icons contain any colour.

3. Already in there, you can add up to 12 apps to the sidebar and 6 in the quick settings pulldown on nougat
[Android Apps and Games] copecu:
I wanted to say the shortcuts that the applications offer, like new tweet, direct call, etc. My apologies for the confusion.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Ah yes, I am working on it but need to totally rewrite the way I handle custom apps, it will be done this week ;)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
V3.2.7 live in Beta.....

* Colour picker improvements

* Option to hide text labels - [MENTION=3572690]copecu[/MENTION]

* Custom off mode tile transparency.

* Scroll while drag & drop.

* Additional refresh logic improvements

;)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

Great work on v3.2.7. See notes below ;) :

Shortcutter settings:

1. If I modify the off tile transparency by touching on the slider, the % displayed doesn't update. Then if you hit + or - it doesn't display the correct value sometimes. Try tapping on different points on the slider to see if you can see any problems between position on slider vs % value displayed.

2. If modifying off tile transparency by hitting - or +, the first tap on those buttons seems to be ignored and the % value doesn't change. Pressing + or -, over alternate press seems to be ignored by the fact that % value doesn't change.

Other than those little nits, off tile transparency is working :) .

3. Consider making settings window remember the last tab and position you were editing from the previous time in settings. Mine always defaults to starting in the Configure Shortcuts tab within settings.

4. In Home tab, consider adding Usage list for Root Features and Settings Secure Access switches like the other switches show.

5. Location tile: Add the text location to it. Currently just shows on or off.

6. Consider adding a settings tile to Shortcutter so I can use it to get from toolbox to settings dialog. Currently I'm using the settings icon in the header, but would like to turn header off to gain more screen area and still have an easy way to get into Shortcutter settings :) .

7. Consider adding more Custom App Tiles (up to 16 more :) ).

8. Sometimes when I press the settings icon in toolbox header, I see an delayed accordion effect of toolbox closing before settings dialog opens. It doesn't happen all the time and it's a minor nit like mostly everything else listed above.

Thanks again and keep up the great working - Shortcutter shines more with each update :) .
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Thanks for another round of quality feedback :) working through your lists as I go :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
[MENTION=6065620]divineBliss[/MENTION]

Couldn't replicate the slider issue but I will keep trying.

Managed to fix the drag & drop properly in the latest beta though, also added settings secure usage ;)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
That's funny :) I was just noticing an apparent problem with drag n drop ...... looks like you fixed it in latest beta :highfive:

I'm still seeing issue with slider as reported earlier, but maybe it's just my device if you don't this gnat - which I previously spelled wrong as nat.

Does Shortcutter really need full network access? What does it use data for? :confused:

Keep up the good work :good:
[Android Apps and Games] dcscorpio76:
This is an awesome app. I've been using it the last few days and I like very much. Excellent functionality. Great job Dev!!
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Very nice job and thank you. Only thing is the delay when pressing a tile to when the action is performed. It's really minor. Giving it 5 stars.

Edit: Gave it 5 stars and a glowing review. Only wish the 50 clicks could be bumped up further.. Can't have it all though. Joined Beta to help. On 7.0 and Nexus 6.

Update on Beta: Ram usage stats are inaccurate. Looked in Dev options and running services and there's a big difference. Same goes for the Memory tab but that's to be expected for it's an average.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Think you need a better understanding of those permissions ;)

Toggling WiFi & HotSpot to name 2
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
The delay is down to the TileService api, you won't see the same behaviour in the side bar ;)

50 clicks was actually 20 a few weeks back, was the best way to encourage people to go premium without restricting too many features :)

Ram usage in my stats includes the system reserved bucket so it will always differ slightly to what settings will show you ( user space Vs a cosmetic total available)... Mine isn't an average either ;)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
New beta up...

* A VERY EARLY view of optional custom sidebar tile backgrounds ..

* Custom app picker now includes split activities from individual apps
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Snap....
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Yep, permissions are confusing :)

https://m.androidcentral.com/look-application-permissions

"Network communication — full network access

This permission means exactly what it says. An app wants to be able to send requests and get a response through the network (Wi-Fi or your phone's data connection)."

That's a different explanation which implies data usage :confused: I need to do more learning and research :)

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

I don't understand the second bullet below :confused: I disabled, re-enabled, reconfigured a custom app tile and didnt see anything different ;)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Enable the Shortcutter launcher shortcuts for example... They now show in the app selection, they didn't previously, I have a number of apps such as XDA labs which also has an XDA forums launcher... You can now select either.

Custom icons is now in stable
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
I'm absolutely clueless about what you are saying from the very first sentence :) . Is this because I'm using Marshmallow and it does not apply there or what? Maybe a picture or two would help me :)

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

"Enable the Shortcutter launcher shortcuts for example..." how?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
An app can have several different icons leading to different activities, the old method would only ever pick up the main app icon and activity, the new method picks them all up..

Out of curiosity, how do the sidebar icons look on your device? Think I need to make some adjustments for lower dpi devices
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
I guess I'll have to find an installed app with different activities to choose from - haven't seen one yet.

Regarding screen area, here a similar screenshot to yours in immersive mode:
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Maybe a tiny bit over sized... Can you try with custom icon backgrounds? :)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Yikes, see the post with other images. Too big with custom icon background :d . Yes, I think adjusting down even without custom icon would be great :) . Any progress on a Shortcutter settings tile so I can disable header. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Wow.... I will have to sort that! :laugh:

So do you mean a link to Shortcutter its self so you can get rid of the header? Just add a custom app and stick Shortcutter in it lol :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] cpnfantstk:
Power saver tile makes system think battery saver is on even when off. I I get the on top within settings notification that battery saver is on but it isn't. No orange bars. If I go in to that particular setting and see the switch is set to off, then the in-settings notification disappears.
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
It's not that easy :D . I've run out of custom app tiles - waiting for you to add 20 more :) and give me a Shortcutter settings tile in addition :D .
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
This is a bit confusing... Is your off mode tile opacity set too high?

20 more... How about 20? Lol
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lee,

Okay 8 more + 1 Shortcutter settings tile :laugh: - I'll be happy with whatever you can do. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Cool lol ?.. it's a deal
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
With the latest beta I'm stuck with Shortcutter tile not being able to launch Chrome, makes me pick the app again, repeats the process when I click on the Chrome title :( . Chrome icon on my desktop working fine.

"This intent cannot be launched from a Custom QS tile" :confused:
