Hi everyone,

Do you want a start menu to start apps conveniently from any screen of Android phone ?

Please try iStart: [IMG="get iStart on Playstore"]https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4496297&stc=1&d=1525833185[/IMG]

With iStart, there is no need to navigate back to home screen any more. iStart saves you a lot of taps and swipes each day

You can begin by using iStart's app organizer to set apps into groups, then launch any of them easily from a start menu panel that appears upon touching a start handle icon.

One-touch mode is absolutely convenient : keep your finger touched and swipe to the desired function on the panel, when releasing the finger the desired app will launch, or the desired action will be performed. Your thumb is now as powerful as a real mouse pointer !

The start handle can be positioned anywhere on screen that you want. If it is located near an edge it will be docked along that edge as a thin styled bar for easy swiping out.

MAIN FUNCTION

iStart works like a start Menu, with app groups being shown in customizable tabs.

Besides categorizing applications, you may also create shortcuts to any file or folder on your device and put them onto iStart for easy launching.

You may also create url links and put onto iStart for quick access: web url, sms compose url with ready-filled recipients, phone call url to any phone number, email compose url with ready-filled recipients. With these links on iStart, all your frequent actions or most favourite contacts are just one touch away.

System command actions are also made for your convenient use: turn-off screen, screen orientation setting, turning flashlight on and off, launch calculator app, launch calendar app, open system setting panel, start google assistant (Android L+), pull down notification bar, take a screen shot (Android M+), launch camera app, adjust media volume and ring volume, go back, go home, open recent applications screen.

PERMISSIONS

For functional purposes of iStart, following permissions may be requested at appropriate circumstances:

- Appear on top: iStart must be granted with this permission to show the start handle and the iStart panel. This is essential for iStart to work

- Storage access: in case you want to post your screen shots onto Gallery, you should allow this. This also enhances file shortcut creation function because you can then access more places on your storage when creating file shortcuts

- Do not disturb mode: in case you want to adjust ring volume to low level

- iStart accessibility service: this should be turned on for following things: pull down notification bar, navigating back (for use with a browser), open recent apps screen

- Device Administrator: in case you want to lock the screen with admin lock function. Note that this permission need to be turned off before force stop or uninstall iStart, unless you use the uninstall button of iStart itself.

- Make phone calls: this is used when you want to make a phone call from a iStart phone call link.

- Access phone book: in case you want to add people from phone book into phone call link or sms compose link

- Camera : this is to activate flashlight in old android devices

- Start at boot time: this is to auto start iStart when your device is restarted

Enjoy iSTART - one touch to start any app from anywhere. It's a simpler and more efficient way to use your phone
