Some screenshots of the latest dev preview im working on. Alot has changed because of merging the Oreo SDK and ive invested a little over 50hrs now. Changelog will be lengthy on release but for now enjoy the screens.

Little walk through of the changes coming
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
If all goes according to plan, I hope to push an update to the beta channel on Google Play this weekend which will allow users to start testing the revamped launcher experience in Sapphyx.

If you choose to accept the update on Google play through the beta channel, I wish to see some feedback on performance and reliability as alot has been rewritten to ensure a more dependable experience.

Right now, Im finishing up the settings registry for the new Context Page Chooser, Some minor fixes to permissions management and the launcher menu as im not satisfied with the interface yet.
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Sapphyx Launcher 1.54.50 beta is now available on xda labs and Google play. I will be monitoring for feedback and bug reports.

Big changes

-Android Oreo Support

-Interface revamps for menu navigation and Context Pages

-Notification Bubbles and personalization should be 100% now without crashes

-Several patches to improve performance and reliability on several devices running Custom Oreo Roms or OEM Oreo Roms

-Handful of new tweaks to take advantage of

-Context pages now has a page chooser

-New Google Tap Page

And some other small changes (Check the changelog)

On first installation, we have noticed these things right off the bat.

-Text size is wonky in the drawer, simply restart the launcher or change app drawer text size

-App Drawer seems to be unresponsive on some smaller screen size phones for some reason. Try changing the grid size or app drawer size or reboot your device if this happens.

-If notification bubbles do not show up, restart your device.

-Two Lined titles show some spacing problems in the app drawer, just make text small or hide it for now

-The new launcher menu is not finished, please rely on the right pane indicator for side menu for widgets atm.

Downloaded the beta and will test it out today. Like the look of this. Have also signed up for the G+ group and will post feedback in there once I've been accepted.
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
I monitor the Google Group every day for post and feedback and I frequently communicate with the group what I'm most recently working on and the changes to come so nothing is a surprise. Alot of the work already done, was inspired by the community.

Thankyou sir

[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Pushing out a few updates on the beta channel on Google Play tonight regarding fixes and rework to the announcement banner in the launcher settings. Some users were experiencing problems as it was not clickable for them thus being useless.

In the new update, the Announcement banner was rebuilt from scratch, is interactable, has indicators, and is very very fluent.
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Update 1.60.00 is now live!
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Just a dev update for anyone who doesn't watch the social groups or notifications.

Development is currently on pause as I'm just watching feedback and reports right now to gather information and how I want to approach things going forward. Their are a handle request i have received but their are some i will be saying no to. In Sapphyx Launcher, my goal is to rebuild as much as the launcher i possibly can and get away from google code. In that same effort, their are parts of the launcher that eill retain a style and approach but carry a handful of settings and personalization to. For instance, the app drawer has a request to have the ability to switch to the old Card pager style and alphabetic list view. I am not going to be doing that as their are other launchers that provide those styles and make them exclusive and be a reason to use those launchers. I will be aiming towards the idea of a personalized style drawer that matches the style of Sapphyx.

Right now, im building a new wallpaper app to compliment Sapphyx Launcher. After wards, im finishing up some projects i never finished last year or rolling out their 2018 maintenance updates.

Once those applications have received their proper updates, development will continue on Sapphyx Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
Just an update on development.

August is the second anniversary of Sapphyx Launcher development. To celebrate this achievement, Sapphyx Launcher 2 will be released.

As of right now, updates have gone on a halt. I will begin development on Sapphyx Launcher 2.0 after i have published updates to a few apps of mine i promised updates for in 2018.

Sapphyx Launcher will be rebased on the Oreo version of Pixel Launcher. This was a huge request by the community. 2.0 will feature new settings and customization for premium and onyx users, Context Pages 2.0, Sketches 3.0 and more.

Hope to see you all around in release. Join the Google Plus Community for dev updates.

Development Update

Sapphyx Launcher 2.0 is currently in development. During development, The current Sapphyx Launcher on Google Play and XDA Labs will be on pause for uodates. The 2.0 uodate is a rewrite and will probably take me a good month or 2 to get everything back to where it was as far as customization goes.

In the next update, Im rebasing on the latest launcher3 source from android Oreo. By doing this, everyone can enjoy the latest Android Oreo has to offer on top of the Sapphyx Launcher experience. I will also be implementing some things from Rootless Pixel Launcher (Like icon pack support and toggling, Adaptive icons, shortcuts and a base for the new Adaptive theme engine il be building.

I have completely rebuilt the launcher settings provider. This time around with a more fluent user interface, a smarter provider, an expandable settings registery and more stable. The settings interface has less tabs and activities and uses a vertical bar navigation system now instead of bottom bar. All of the categories now use a dedicated fragment instead of multiple windows and activities so the provider doesn't get confused and knows when to restart or not to. Their will be OS exclusive customization available.

License will be handled differently. Premium users will unlock all launcher customization. Onyx users will unlock all launcher customization and exclusive context pages.

The announcement banner is now the message board and is built exactly like the Google Play now trending list.

Alot of changes are coming. Some you will like, some you may not like. My focus will not to be competitive against other pixel launcher mods, it will be focused on my own implementations.

[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
This will be my last post in this thread for Sapphyx Launcher 1.X as Sapphyx 2.X will receive a new thread on release.

Wanted to update my followers on here about the new update coming and the changes you can expect if you haven't been keeping an eye on the Google Plus Community Group.

Sapphyx Launcher 2.0 is coming. With its release will come a brand new experience and changes I've made based on the wide range of feedback come with Sapphyx on Google Play and Labs. There was wonderful feedback and not so wonderful feedback. Its been hard to hit both sides of judgement. In 2.0,I hope to change the minds of many and bring back the interest and innovation in custom launcher development.

2.0 brings a revamped launcher experience rebuilt from the ground up. Its base is Launcher 3 from Googles Oreo stable branch (Build 22 i believe?) and baked in some of Rootless Pixel Launcher mods i found to be very useful and expected from many as a requirement for any custom launcher (Shortcuts, theming, icon pack support). In the midst of the Pixel Experience, My goals is to provide a totally different experience however, The AOSP experience is optional. I have brought the Android P dock background with a twist. I have integrated personal Profile support. I have integrated a new feature I Like to call Swift as it allows homescreen side drawers, a new app drawer experience and powers Context Pages 2.0.

Context Pages 2.0 will use the launcher extension page built inside the launcher and allow users to choose from different pages il be developing over time. The default page, Swiftfeed, Will bring a generic Google Now page with a newsfeed thats customizable, date and weather info, custom backgrounds and more.

The launcher settings have been rebuilt to look, feel and handle differently than any other launcher.

I will continue to post on the Google Plus group as the private Alpha begins soon. After the users are satisfied, it will begin to roll out as a beta, and than publicly.

See you soon!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Slayer510:
I have the G955U version of the S8 Plus. Most apps that I use will occasionally refresh while I am using them clearing any progress that I may have had. These refreshes will normally happen in pairs as well, happening about 30sec to a minute apart. The most noticeable refreshes happen on Snapchat, Youtube, and Twitch apps.

So for example, in Snapchat if I take a picture and put a caption, etc. it will refresh and I will be taken back to the picture taking screen forcing me to retake a picture. On youtube, I will be watching a video and the video will reload and start where it left off and then it will do it again about 30 seconds later however this time, the video will be black and I can still hear audio. I normally fix this issue by going to the next video and then going back to the original video. Twitch will just reload the stream and chat. It seems as though this will happen on most apps, including games and messenger apps. But I haven't had it happen on browsers yet.

Any ideas?

[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ubeatlenine:
My verizon htc one m9 will not boot past the vendor screen (verizon logo on red background) since 36 hours ago. I do not know exactly what caused this, but I suspect that my device died during a routine OTA update. What I know for certain is that I got a firmware update notification three days ago, which I ignored. 36 hours ago my phone died while I was busy with other stuff, so I'm not sure what it was doing at the time, but after charging it a little bit I turned it on and it got stuck. I'm completely new to this site and to android mods in general, but I tried to do my research.

My device is OS-3.37.605.29, S-ON, bootloader locked, stock ROM.

I believe that I can flash this RUU to my device to restore the stock ROM, however I can't tell whether this wipes my device in the process. Most of the stuff I've read so far says yes, but this thread says it's possible without data loss. But that thread is for the M8, and I've also read that the M9 is pretty different from previous versions.

Is it possible to restore the stock ROM without data loss?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ubeatlenine:
I tried flashing the RUU, did not help. Because it did not help and I still was not able to boot my phone it's hard for me to tell, but I don't think flashing wiped my data. However in my case this was a moot point because after talking to HTC support I decided to factory reset my phone, since HTC said that that's what they would do if I were to send it in. This fixed the issue, so I guess I had corrupted application data or something that was preventing the phone from starting up properly.

At this point I decided to do some of the popular mods I had read about on this site in the process of troubleshooting this issue, since my phone was wiped anyway. I got S-OFF and an unlocked bootloader with sunshine and flashed twrp and supersu. Finally getting rid of vendor bloatware felt really nice! Needless to say now that my device is operational again I am setting up automatic backups with Titanium... a lesson learned the hard way.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adomazzz:
Hello,

I have done few mistakes with my phone - first of all i ordered wrong battery to my phone, instead of battery for sony z3+ i ordered battery for sony z3. Cable actually works fine, so i connected my z3+ with the new battery, but after this my phone is not working any more - tried to restart with buttons, rewrite software, but phone still does not turns on. There is a red light blinking when phone is charging, sometimes it is changing to green, but the problem is, it does not turns on, screen totally black. Sometimes i can hear the sound of phone charging(when i am connecting phone to cable), but nothing more.

Any advice? Yeah, i know, it was stupid to try to connect other type of battery, but i was thinking, if jack of the battery is good, it should work, but actually it does not works... Maybe it is a fuse of the battery, if there is such thing, and where i can find it, anyone?

ur stock battery doesnt work anymore?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adomazzz:
Nope, the old one does not works too. I guess it should be some kind of fuse responsible for this, as the phone does not gives any kind of signs that it is still alive, except blinking red light turning sometimes to green and sound of phone charging.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] N00B_IN_N33D:
This surely isn't Pixel-specific, but I figured I'd ask here before jumping to a more general forum...

Since I got my new Pixel XL, I always get a push notification from Google Play services a minute-or-so after boot up titled, "Change your phone number?" Clicking on the notification takes me through a wizard that first requests my password, then asks for my "new" phone number. (Mind you, my phone number has never been changed.) After completing the previous steps, the notification disappears — until I reboot. Then it reappears.

I tried rebooting after clearing the cache for Google Play + Google Play Services, but the notification still appears. I also tried removing my recovery phone number, rebooting, and using the notification's wizard to re-add the number. No dice.

Anyone experience a similar issue?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] noidea24:
Try logging out of your Gmail, go HERE, do whatever it says, and then make sure it is YOUR phone number for your Gmail recovery.

After youre done, log back in on your phone, and you should be good
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] N00B_IN_N33D:
Removing and re-adding my Google account didn't fix the issue. :(

Did you do any of the other stuff that he pointed you to. There's more to do then just remove and then add back your account.
