Hey Lee sweet apps,

It really impressed me how many features you've included in them especially the notification blocker and the rounded corners which made me to contribute a little for your work ;)

Great work and thanks for the development you're doing :)

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Hopefully yes!

Give it a whirl.... https://www.dropbox.com/s/03gg58auefhvnz5/Shortcutter-5.3.8.apk?dl=0

Haven't changed the version number so rollback is always possible ;)

As a test on my U11 I have enabled all tiles and assigned apps to all 30 tiles... 0 lag :laugh:

Cheers! :highfive::good:
[Android Apps and Games] Siminica:
for somebody like me not using LeeDroid ROM and the tweaks (it's not I don't want to but it's not available for my U11+) how can the app be launched from the app drawer? (in order to add/remove icons, configure stuff...)

I have sidebar enabled and working great for my usage pattern but I had to disable settings icon in sidebar because after scaling down the icons and labels (about 50%) things look weird in the upper portion

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
From the app drawer, there is a launcher icon & another 20 or so that you can expose... You can even map the sidebar expander to edge sense :)

Was this in the lastest version with the new scaling methods and extra adjustments available?
[Android Apps and Games] Siminica:
is there any specific setting I have to enable in app in order to see that icon in app drawer? maybe I had to say I use this also on a 10 where I have your ROM and the tweaks installed - there I also don't see specific icon but launch the app from tweaks, could be a configuration saved on 10 and restored on U11+...

current version is 5.3.8, icon scale 30%, font scale 50% - everything is tiny only settins icon and the close icon remain big, the text between them becomes vertical, one char under the other
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Ah I need to account for scale in the header in that case.... Overlooked that :eek:

How on earth do you use the sidebar with 30% and 50%?? Lol

The app icon should always be visible in the app drawer unless you have hidden it
[Android Apps and Games] Siminica:
size is good - try it on two columns only :)

now that you mentioned it I found it in my nova launcher hidden apps :silly:

thank you, no more issues here (the scaling problem doesn't bother me at all as long as I can hide those upper icons) :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
That's why I missed it, I usually have the header turned off ?

Edit:

Fixed in Beta V3.5.9:

* Header icons and text now scaled with contents.

* Major SideBar grid item code rewrites & optimisation.
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION],

Very nice so far - sidebar seems a bit snappier. :cool:

Minor issue - please move the header icons in towards the center and make them bigger. I have the header visible in order to be able to use the Shortcutter settings icon - it's too close to the edge of the sidebar width now and a bit too small - and lots of space available in the header anyway.

Thanks :)

v5.3.9 not v3.5.9 ;)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Ok cool, I will adjust the scaling method, glad it feels snappier!
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Test with icon scale 40% to see how small header icons look. Seems like those icons should remain about 75% of the header time/date height independent of the icon scale percentage.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
So... If I reduce them by 50% of the icon scale we should be good
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION],

Please make the font a lighter color vs black - other menus use white. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
That's not my menu unfortunately, that's a system menu that sends data back to the app
[Android Apps and Games] linom:
Is there a way to add signal strength in Db either as a tile or on the status bar without root?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Yeh I'm pretty sure that can be done but there are so many different network configurations it could be a potential nightmare ... Will have a look
[Android Apps and Games] linom:
Great! Looking forward to it as it would be nifty to have the signal read in Db especially when indoors or in a poor network coverage area without going thru multiple steps to find out the signal level.
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
See v5.4.1 screenshot. I still think the sidebar header icons are too small and too close to the outside edges.

I've decided to turn the header off and just use a tile to enter Shortcutter settings, so this issue isn't a problem for me anymore. :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
I think it's your scaling that's the issue...

Increase icon scale and also padding in the icon designer..

My padding is 6dp and icon scale 78%
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Lol - I spent too much time fiddling with those other settings to get my tiles looking the way I want, so changing them isn't a practical solution in my case.

Also this is a 720x1280 device running 6.0.1. I think it's better for me to leave the header off as that gives me more area for tiles. :)

Padding 6dp and icon scale 40% here.
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION],

Would it be possible to add a sidebar Shortcutter Service Tile that opens Shortcutter settings? I'm currently using a sidebar custom tile to do that, and would love to free up that custom tile for other use. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
I guess I could lol.. you want more custom slots? :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
I'm using all custom tiles 30 currently :) . Have all my 45 tiles visible at once now after disabling the header. Shortcutter sidebar is more like my 1st stop launcher now :cool:

If you add more custom slots, I'll probably use them - lol.

What I really wish for is an easy way to rearrange the tiles I currently have first like I mentioned before.

I did add use Shortcutter to add tiles to and tweak quick settings on my N device for the first time - that was very nice :) .
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION],

For the last few versions including v5.4.3, sometimes when I swipe to see sidebar, it's taking a long time before sidebar appears on my 6.0.1 device - feels like seconds. Other times it's immediate response. I just did multiple back to back tests and noticed every alternate one takes a long time. :confused: Does that make sense to you?

Wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Oh wow.. it's working perfectly on android 7 & 8, the code has been optimised a lot.. will do some extra testing on my M8
[Android Apps and Games] :
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] Hello. I have a few trivial ideas about the application launcher:

1. Keyboard should auto-open when app launcher opens. In this way, we can start searching immediately.

2.The search icon on the search screen is too far away. Can you put that in the center? Or it would be easy to search by clicking on the empty space.

3. Filter by first letter. For example applications starting with Z can be seen immediately.

It would be great if my first and second requests added to the settings as optional. Thanks for read. Have a nice day.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Well hello there, fancy seeing you here ?

I will have a play around with it today.

Don't like the idea of the keyboard opening because the list could be filtered down permanently to 5/6 apps which would make that pointless. But I can make the search a little more ergonomic I guess :)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Did you get a chance to do any testing on Marshmallow?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Yeh it's all good on my M8, performing as well as it does on Oreo :-/
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Thanks. I've dropped back to v5.2.7 for now on my Marshmallow device. I'll give the next new versions that come out a try.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
It's some really bizzare behaviour we have seen on MM, especially when Nougat and above runs perfectly...
[Android Apps and Games] sasiskas:
Hello [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] and everyone,

I have a question regarding the Volume Panel Tile.

Is there any way to open the volume panel without having to manually expand it?

Video for better explanation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4i3fnbaiiwq8d88/2018_02_22_12_40_10.mp4?dl=0

I'm on Unrooted, stock aosp Nougat
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Not that I have managed to find so far buddy, but I'm looking.. the method used calls the curtly active audio stream
[Android Apps and Games] sasiskas:
Thank you for your quick response. Appreciate your effort. Hope you can find a solution eventually.

Keep up the good work and have a nice day! ?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
V5.4.5

* Major SideBar/Toolbox speed improvements!

* Fix colours in nightlight\/desk clock.

* App draw search now uses starts with.

* Remove screenshot from APM if non premium.

* Update welcome screen shots.

[MENTION=6065620]divineBliss[/MENTION] .. even your marshmallow device should be buttery smooth now, I missed a trick! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION],

With v5.4.5:

1st sidebar swipe out/in is instantaneous. :)

2nd sidebar swipe out/in has about a half second delay for both showing and hiding the sidebar. :confused:

The pattern continues with each alternate in/out pair being instantaneous or having a delay.

Definitely improved over the last version :cool: but bloody bizarre :confused: - I'm sure you'll agree ;)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
How quickly are you swiping?

In a normal use case you wouldn't open close open close..

After 1.5 seconds of the SideBar being opened, the view is refreshed/invalidated, so what your probably seeing is a mild delay due to the views being refreshed from the last open...

But defiantly much faster than it's ever been?

I really need sleep now, catch up tomorrow :)
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
I think maybe that was it - I wasn't waiting long enough between each set :cool: . Yeah, seems faster than it's ever been. Great work :)
[Android Apps and Games] tris85:
Hey, can you please re-enable the dice animation on Android 7 devices? Tile is a bit annoying without...
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
I will see what I can do with it
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Better.....
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Possibly.. .. Need to have a go at it first :)

What does it look like if I have five columns of tiles?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
The live preview only allows 2 columns so you can get a feel for spacing, layout becomes far too constrained with any more.

I still have more options to move across but have a play...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8s5tmyd03717i10/Shortcutter-5.4.6.apk?dl=0

The list to the right will soon have, sidebar background colour, font size, font color & the labels option, I think that's pretty much all that would make sense in there
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
It's only going to be better than what we have now, so can't wait to try it :cool:

Aside question: if I have not opened the sidebar in say 10 minutes, should I expect a long delay of seconds between the time I swipe to open it and the time it actually opens?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
That depends on how aggressive your system is, after a wait on my U11 it takes about half a second longer if it's been left a while.

I edited the post above ;)

The live preview is a 1:1 copy of the sidebar, using the same array adapter & items.

There is also a little morph animation in the pre release apk I gave you when you click items, still playing with that
[Android Apps and Games] nextheart:
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION], Any update on this?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Not yet, this one will take pretty much a full rewrite of the array adapter and sidebar
[Android Apps and Games] The Great Dane:
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] back on Huawei mate 9 pro and works flawlessly, can't thank you enough. This is simply the best tool/app that I ever had on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Cheers batman.... And it's getting better by the week ??
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
New icon sidebar designer pushed to beta.. let me know your thoughts guys n gals
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION],

I was adjusting horizontal and vertical spacing. Even though I didn't tap "OK" at bottom, settings took effect. I like the immediate preview feedback, but don't think any settings should apply to the sidebar icons unless I press "OK" button. :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
It's a total pain in the ass to hold the settings until you hit ok because I'm using the same adapter that the sidebar uses, no longer feasible unfortunately.

All changes are live changes as they were previously
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Well "OK" then, so much for that idea lol ;)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Gehehe... Still an improvement on what it was lol ??
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Absolutely :) . I love having all the icon related settings in one place and the immediate preview :cool: .

Edit: I see "OK" changed to "DONE" - :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Yes, made a few more tweaks in the latest.. in beta and slowly rolling out to the masses :good::highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Siminica:
the designer is great :svetius:

is there any possibility to choose icon for custom tiles?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
I need to look into how icon packs etc work before I can even consider that one
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
I would be interested in that feature to have a custom icon.

I have a custom shell command assigned to open the Play Store app directly to "My apps & games" and would love to be able to change the icon image to the Play Store icon. The shell command if anyone is interested:

am start -a "com.google.android.finsky.VIEW_MY_DOWNLOADS" -n com.android.vending/com.google.android.finsky.activities.MainActivity

If there's a better way to do that command, please let us know :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
I'm pretty sure I can make that one show in the activity selection ?

Edit.. I could be wrong, looks like it's actually an action assigned to the main laugh intent, the brain is now ticking lol
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Already supported or in the future? Specifically want to go directly to "My apps..." vs have to click from main Play Store page :)

Lol - just saw your update. Nighty nighty then :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Above edit... Going to look into it ?

Maybe an option to assign an action to an activity launch
[Android Apps and Games] jhill110:
I agree with [MENTION=459159]devine[/MENTION]Bliss , a shortcut to my apps would be awsome.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Yeh I'm agreeing my self, I go in there all the time to check updates lol...

Might just create a play store my apps tile for now ??
[Android Apps and Games] corb06:
Looks like Immersive mode is not working on Galaxy S8 Oreo... Anyone else having problems?

Never mind, works now.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Any idea what fixed it? Had a few people with similar results
[Android Apps and Games] corb06:
Nope. I did a factory reset before installing shortcutter, and activating everything. I did not work right after.

Couple of hours later, maybe a reboot also, I tried again, and then it was working properly.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
How bizzare!... Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] The Great Dane:
Immersive mode works at my end (Huawei Mate 9 pro)

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Finally updated the OP!

Guys.... if any of you are any good at demos and or video editing, I could really do with a nice up to date Promo/Demo video :)

Maybe even a nice easy to use guide or 2 I can add to the app for QS and SideBar :D
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION],

V5.5.0 Sidebar observation: Black background selected for sidebar. Choosing random colors for icons caused some of the icons to be black - same color as the background - essentially no icon visible. :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
That's an interesting one to combat ??
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Bizarre thing is v5.4.7 works correctly when I select random color icons - they're not all black - and the custom tiles aren't affected by the issue - just the other Sidebar provided tiles like System for example.

Toggle the random icon color checkbox to test and you should see it happening in preview.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
I know what's happened.... 5.5.1 incoming
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
No rush if you don't have any other fixes to implement yet. Simple solution is to uncheck the box :) , so I can certainly wait on this.

Those designer sliders are really touchy. Any chance of changing to or including +/- buttons ;)

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

Fixed :cool: .
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
:cool:

Yeh, I am looking at ways of implementing +/- without cluttering too much
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Maybe a combination of a box to type in the initial value and the +/- buttons for fine adjustments and get rid of the sliders?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Will have a play with it... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
+/- buttons added to icon designer.... Also added long press repeat to all seek +/- buttons throughout the app :)
[Android Apps and Games] ~clumsy~:
If any users here use reddit, feel free to head over to this post and give it some love. It all helps [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] get some publicity on the app.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Running out of ideas guys.... Any new ones? :laugh:

Notification panel widget next up .... Hopefully
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION],

Great job on the +/- implementation. :cool:

Since you asked for ideas :) ....
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Thought about this one and played with it but the reorder just ends up feeling clunky and messy, if you accidentally drop it in the wrong place you then have to move 2 tiles to get to where you want.

With the reflow if simply inserts it into the existing list just like it does in the quick settings pulldown, that's the behaviour I had aimed to replicate.

Only thing I do need to do is have it appear to insert a blank space when hovering.
[Android Apps and Games] TotallyAnxious:
Random suggestions: battery level of attached Bluetooth devices (should be able to select which ones, like my ionic tells me the level on the watch but my aiaiai headphones don't). This will probably only be useful for pre 8.1 roms since I think that's when this feature is included in aosp.

Maybe a Bluetooth codec switcher? I have no use case for it but since you said you're running out of ideas.
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION],

Latest beta... umm latest stable v5.5.6 working well so far :) . Thank you :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
I bumped to stable after finding a glitch in per app immersive setting :laugh::highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Hi fellow Shortcutters,

Anyone else running Shortcutter on Marshmallow like me? :) Just wondering.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
2000 users on Marshmallow at the mo.. and many of them frustrate the life out of me ?

Ratings for 7+ are 4.6 - 4.8 /5 .... 7 and below is around 4.3...
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Oh my - we can't have that. Maybe time to drop Marshmallow support vs frustrate the life out of you :) We need you for 7+ .

How many 7+ users?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
14,368 to date ??
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Manual backup and restore in Beta 5.6.0! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] dbGHOST:
Just updated to v5.6.3 and the premium detection seems to be broken. Could you please check it? Thx
[Android Apps and Games] Globus:
Screen off auto 2g network mode

Dear Leedroid,

I was wondering if a feat request in august 2017, made it to your bucket list?

Request was more or less an automation function of the mobile network mode.

Question is: can you build this feat into short-cutter

Kind regards,

GloBuS
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Please clear the app from recent apps and try again, seems the play store freaked out a bit when I halted the previous rollout
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Hi mate,

I had a play with it and the screen on/off intent proved unreliable which made the mod a little glitchy
[Android Apps and Games] dbGHOST:
I tried force stop/ reboot/ clear data but none of them worked.

Edit: I think I find out why. I have 2 Google accounts on my phone, and I purchased with my main account. Somehow the app tries to detect purchase on my second account and cannot get it. I'm still not sure how this happens nor how to fix it :p
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION],

Can you make overlay suspension a switch controlled option? My devices have worked fine without this new feature - so wondering what the reason is for this recent change. Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Reboot? Attempted re purchase?

It's always been automatic, and it already has a switch (Accessibility service lol)..I just improved the method used.

It only triggers when permissions and secure screens are visible to stop buttons getting blocked by the overlays
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
I'm seeing a toast message about overlay being disabled for 10 seconds which is new - is it coming from Shortcutter? That's why I thought this was something new.
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Yeh that's coming from the app, just so you know why filter, corners and sidebar are vanishing lol..

The accessibility service only runs if your in the package installer or settings apps
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
v5.6.3 - I turned of Accessibility Access via Shortcutter settings, but every time I go back in to Shortcutter to check that permission, it shows on even though it's off in phone settings :confused: .
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Hmm ok.. I have added some extra logic to stop it being killed once enabled for users with settings secure access, could have missed something.

But 100%.. everyone should be running it.. you do not want overlays blocking or obscuring secure activities and buttons
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Don't go crazy :lol: N is fine - the issue is on M. So having the Shortcutter Accessibility Access switch enabled if Secure Access is on makes no sense if you are going to override it anyway - does it :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
Your not getting it....

Accessibility service on most devices dies when the app updates and has to be restarted.... Im using settings secure to re enable it if it was previously enabled.

The accessibility service runs in package installer and settings and watches out for secure activities, when they become visible the service suspends the overlays to stop them being blocked....

The settings database entry that states that an Accessibility service can be bound and enabled in in the settings secure database.

Edited after food lol... Typo galore
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Yep, I'm definitely still confused. :)

Check your previous response wording and clarify if necessary.

If I have Root Features on/enabled in Shortcutter settings, what is the purpose of the having the Accessibility Access switch in Shortcutter settings (since if I turn it off, it gets turned back on anyway) ?
[Android Apps and Games] LeeDroid:
I edited my above post... They have absolutely bugger all to do with eachother...

The only link is that the accessibility service enabled string exists in the secure settings database.

Next subject..... Lol
[Android Apps and Games] divineBliss:
Okay, what is the purpose of the having the Accessibility Access switch in Shortcutter settings (since if I turn it off, it gets turned back on anyway) ?
