Thanks for the idea.

This might also be possible, but migrating curent users would be problematic and Google also removes the apps with "minimal functionality". So, meanwhile, I am making a separate downloader/updater app for XDA (ss a few posts above), should be finished today or tomorrow. What do you think about this solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zaidshb:
Well I'm using arktube which totally violates all google policies ? but the dev have a donation app on the play store which works totally fine. The mentioned solution seems good for the meantime.

Hi S3V3N unfortunately I am not able to add them to modules. They are signed by Samsung, and any modification would change the signature and cause the modules to lose function. Also old users would not be able to update the app as the signature would be different from previous version.

Did you have a chance to look at companion app?

FEATURE SUGGESTION

As latest OneUI versions have a system wide Night mode, both Nicelock main app and DL Companion could take advantage of that. My suggested way to implement would be a 3 step toggle.

1. Day mode

2. Night mode

3. Auto (mode being same as OneUI, following its changes)

Quick update:

•OneUI redesign is nearly done. But there is an Android bug apparently where there is a weird issue with webview. (used in FAQ section) It somehow manages to break colors of whole UI. I realized this also happens in current build too, when only in Night Mode. Found a couple workarounds, it looks like this was a known issue by google the workaround was there since 2 years but still no fix. Anyways, since the issue much more apperant in redesign, I will ship it with the fix which will take a couple more days since I will be travelling. So ETA is mid-next week.

•Redesign of companion is also in progress.

•Implemented three-option Night Mode in companion (on,off,follow system) in settings overflow menu. But I'm not sure this will be suitable with action bar icon in NiceLock. Currently icons are press what you want to do principle (i.e press moon icon - opens night mode). But if I add a third. It will be weird. So I may move it to overflow menu or make it a pop-up kinda expandable menu. But no promises for the next build, will be in the other one for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] joedellosso69:
Webview ?

Strange, my note 9 with pie (but even before with Oreo) doesn't use webview any more.. just uses chrome instead of webview.

Infact, in Developer options, there's a webview choise (chrome or webview) and the webview option is grayed (unselectable) . Even in playstore having webview for other devices (under oreo) but not for my note because it's in the list (for having it in other devices under the same account) but not for downloading saying that it's not for my device. For this, I think that from oreo the system doesn't use webview anymore using Chrome for it's porpouses.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
My Android programming background does not go very far and I'm not sure about how that option works, but the UI component where you load a webpage within an app (FAQ section in NiceLock) is still called webview AFAIK and the option might be how to OS will render inside the view. It might be using chrome engine to load the page. But still there is an issue with it for years according to the product forum post and comments (+it is affecting NiceLock). But by the looks of it the solution is not difficult.

Can send you the link if you are interested?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] chanchan05:
I'm using web view and not Chrome on my S9, but maybe that's because I'm on the Webview beta, which rolls it out before it goes to Chrome, and I disabled Chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] joedellosso69:
For me programming isn't in my skills, so for that I'm not interested, only trying to be useful, so I told what I noticed...

Even I was on webview beta with other devices and it remanies beta even when you change the device but having same account but for me haven't a choise to do... It's stuck on Chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Yeah, thanks for your input. I appreciate it. Mine also stuck at Chrome btw.

WOW... just wow!

After installing the Nice Lock app and downloading the APKs from apkmirror (which isn't at all hard to do) it took me 30 seconds to get the paid version.

I have non-rooted Samsung Galaxy S8 (Sm-G950F) and everything works flawlessly (except for the Routines part, which didn't install, but it might be because I've messed around with disabling annoying bixby services).

Keep up the great work!

Why Goodlock is include on the mega link?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Thank you for your support!

1) You can use companion app available in this forum for easy management of updates and module downloads, including NiceCatch.

2) Yes, NiceLock will send you push notifications for module updates, when you get notification, you can either to the update from companion app, from apkmirror, sammobile or check the companion app thread for manual download link.

3) I included it because even it gives network error, Notistar somehow needs it for settings to be activated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] enotar:
Got it thanks.

I have an issue on my tab S4 the apps cannot open in split view, only window. Really sometimescit works and suddendly option disapears. Any idea. Task changer is set in grid.

Other thing, to make sure: edege lightning+ is not availlable anymore?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Could you possibly record the process what happens to edge lighting? You are the third users reporting the issue with it.

For multiwindow, an app must be open in background in order to split screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] enotar:
I will record

Btw multi windows without pausing doesnt apply to videos? I tried a mp4 and youtube and it pause. Is this right?

Screen for edge lightning launchingView attachment 4750264
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
This is weird. Does NiceLock redirect you to that Galaxy Store page although you installed edge lighting+? Are you using any sort of package disablers?

Are you able to access: Settings/Display/Edge Screen/Edge Lighting/Edge Lighting Style menu?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] enotar:
1- No

2- No but I have a tab s4 so maybe this is why?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
2 is the reason most certainly. Edge Lighting+ is not entirely new module, but a modification for those phones already have edge lighting feature. But you may try installing a previous version from apkmirror and see if its different (Open APKMirror page in companion app) . So NiceLock is not redirecting you, module is redirecting you to galaxy store, which is region locked, so you get app not found error.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] enotar:
Try few versions and the same result
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Ok there is nothn to do currently for that unfortunately. If Edge Lighting is not natively available for your device it will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Truecanadian:
I may have found a bug in the Notistar app for the Samsung galaxy s9+. After installing it I found 2 issues. 1) The option to remove it or prevent it from appearing on the lock screen fails. It allows anyone access to read full content of incoming notifications. 2) The small square overlay to pull up to activate the window was blocking access to my keyboard for typing. I was unable to press r, t and y. I tried several reboots and it would function for only a few minutes then no key presses registered. In landscape mode the keyboard worked fine. When I disabled Notistar the keyboard function retuned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Those bugs should be reported to Samsung. But since we are on region restricted countries, it is almost impossible that the feedback we send via Samsung members reaches to the good lock team. It was so buggy that I immediately uninstalled Notistar. :\

Went with OneUI grey for grid background initially to be consistent with system, as users were 50-50% about it. Will make amoled black a tick option, promise. Just wanted to be sure foundation is stable, before building on it. Also dark mode following system is coming too.

But i would suggest one improvement:

Could we have the default view when app is started changed to the one where we see all icons without having to swipe up every time we start the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Thanks for feedback everyone! About the suggestion, I tried to mimic how most OneUI apps behave (settings, clock etc), but I'll see what I can do about that for the next updates, shouldn't be difficult to make it an option, will try to include it for the next one [emoji868]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] D.O.C:
full black, to take advantage of s-amoled screens :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] reikar:
The swipe compared to settings Vs nicelock is longer. For settings it works with simple short swipe, but for NiceLock I have to make a longer swipe or it will snap back to original state. Maybe fine tune the swipe length for OneUI behaviour.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Yeah it is different from Samsung, this uses stock Android support libraries for collapsing toolbar, Samsung probably went with their own implementation because this is a bit weird. I will see what I can do but it is not very simple unfortunately for me to change that behaviour. Will do my best.

BTW, Downloader Companion app also updated with OneUI look!

Awesome application!!!

What does 'Updated' mean in the NiceLock app and Module Companion? Does it mean there IS an update or the module is on the latest update? Speaking of updates, can you add a way to show the current installed version of each update on NiceLock and/or the Module Companion.

Lastly, in NiceLock, can you add an option to sort by installed and only have the installed modules at the top of the list/grid or swipe between 2 panels that have the installed modules on one and the non-installed ones on the other?

Sorry if these questions have already been asked/answered...

Either way, this is fantastic work and love the changes that you've currently implemented!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Updated means it is up-to-date. If there is an update, it will say Update available in yellow color. Current versions of modules can be seen via long press. If there is a newer version than yours available, download button activates in companion. Will improve that.

This is a great idea, but may take some time to implement. Will work on that too. Thanks for your feedback and suggestion!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dekatch:
'updated' means it is up to date. updated is the pastence of 'update'. means it was done recently. if there is a new update, it says 'download available' or 'new version available' something of that sort.
