EDIT: This feature has been disabled also due to Play Store rules. I will work on a standalone updater/downloader.

Starting rollout of new version 2.6.32 with JediMode (Currently only in Beta channel)

There is a server side switch to disable that feature in case of a warning or removal due to policy issues.

So please keep in mind that this feature may have been removed partially, or completely anytime.

The JediMode Enabler application does not have a shortcut on launcher, it is basically a dummy app.

•If you install the attached JediMode Enabler APK, NiceLock will feel the disturbance in the force and will adjust it's UX for easier download of updates and modules. Basically one click download from apkmirror. Also when updates are available, long press on module / update will initiate download. When installed, NiceLock main app will also show an option to uninstall the enabler, but it is needed to be installed as long as you want to use features. Also you can go to settings/apps/NiceLock JediMode and click uninstall without needing NiceLock to go back to normal behaviour.

•As I mentioned in previous post, Galaxy Store options are removed. It is mostly causing users to think they can be installled there. Considering most, if not all, NiceLock users are within the region restriction. Also I realised it was (possibly) against play store policy. ( https://play.google.com/intl/ALL_us/about/developer-distribution-agreement.html - 4.5 )

•JediMode prompts/dialogs are only in English for now and pretty simple. I am trying to keep its footprint as less as possible.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Have fun!

Note: After installing addon, your first time opening NiceLock will not change the UI. It will check the server and get a "yes". Then it will update when you close and reopen. A few seconds for first time opening should be alright.

Edit: New module updates are available, will update thread and send notification in an hour or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kleinmischa:
Downloaded the Jedi app and updated NiceLock. No difference at all o_0

Still links to GalaxyStore

edit: The new version in Store was 2.6.25. Probably have to wait ^^"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Could you try that again? Server values are correct, it may not update on first opening but second. If not, it may be a cached value from previous version lasts up to 6hours.

Edit: Beta rollout is started before I post it here but yeah it may take some time.

Yeah, perfect. Will go to apkmirror when they upload there. I'm kinda faster than them or sammobile [emoji4]

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] puredp1:
Thanx for this app so much because good lock not supported in my country and i use a shortcut till now for the apps! You deserve the donated version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Great! BTW, Unfortunately I couldn't override NiceLock's icons through cloud for hardcoded apps. So new OneHandOperation+ icon will come with the next update. Probably within 24hours.

Do you have a smart capture supported device (scrolling screenshot etc)?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xuxuzao:
I dont know if it has something to do with nice lock beta or not, but my celphone is freezing touchscreen botton after update.

I have to restart for it to start working again.

It was working fine.

I updated celfone firmware (april patch) and Nice lock to beta + modules today

Galaxy s10+ exynos
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
I didn't understand your issue, but as a quick measure, you can quit beta using play store, uninstall and reinstall NiceLock to see if that is the problem, although unlikely. You wont use any data regarding modules, only your notification settings in NiceLock.

S8 + on Pie
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Ok, there are 2 things to check:

1) Settings/Advanced Features/Smart Capture must be enabled.

2) Settings/Apps search for record and delete if you have something called record screen. Which was a modified version of Samsung's stock recorder and blocks NiceShot.

I'm not aware if NiceShot has an issue with S8 deviced so it should work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mwyann:
For me, the latest update of NotiStar is crap, I can't touch anything in the middle of the screen because NotiStar catches the touch events every time. I had to uninstall it completely. And as I don't really use it, I won't even reinstall the previous version at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] idbl_fanatic:
1) Settings/Advanced Features/Smart Capture must be enabled. Done

2) Settings/Apps search for record and delete if you have something called record screen. Which was a modified version of Samsung's stock recorder and blocks NiceShot. Nothing other than Voice Recorder found
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Sorry, I don't know anything else that could cause problems with NiceShot :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zaidshb:
Thanks but NL (32) didn't change it's behaviour after installing Jedi! I still don't get apkmirror page when trying to tap or long press. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] docteurcrook:
I've installed Jedimode and everything work fine here! Nice job mate!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
It should appear either when module is not installed (normal click) or update available (on long press menu).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zaidshb:
This is what I get when long pressing an app requesting update and an app not installed
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Weird. Are you in the US?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zaidshb:
This is when long pressing.

I'm in Saudi Arabia, and when you asked me I figured out maybe Blokada has something to do with it so I turned it off but still the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
What you are seeing is what a normal user without Jedi activator should see. App does two checks, first if the jedi activator is installed, then also checks server side to see if it should enable the feature. So since you installed the apk, the issue here is in second part. I may have exaggerated the process a bit with server-side check, but better safe than sorry. Google has no mercy.

Since you mentioned blockada, probably that blocked the server check (as it is based Firebase RemoteConfig which also depends highly on analytics, so adblocker might have blocked that, maybe) so the app did not activate that mode. There is a certain cache time for this, so you may want to try in a couple hours.

BTW, did you completely close the app and reopen after disabling blockada? That also might be the reason, it only checks on app is created, not resumed. And first time installers also will see in second time opening the app. Hopefully in will work for you in a couple of hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] The Great Dane:
Bought the add free version in PlayStore to support a great Dev. Wish more would follow, let's show some appreciation ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zaidshb:
Seems good enough. I've turned off Blokada and whitelisted NL and jedi for good measures, and will report back later.

Thanks for your great work and huge support, gonna buy the ad free version right away.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Thanks for your kind words and support, really happy to hear :) BTW, If you want one click downlaods for installs and updates, make sure you check out XDA special addon which will improve NiceLock here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79387169&postcount=310 . It is an addon since this is against Play Store rules, please keep it secret :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Please let me know if you are still not seeing it tomorrow when you wake up. And thanks for your support too, I really appreciate it. It reached to a really high number of users which I couldnt even image in the beginning.

BTW, you can also try clearing NiceLock's data, which should also clear server's response. You won't lose any data regarding modules, only your notification preferences for NiceLock will be gone. If you want to try, you can clear data, Open NiceLock , Accept Privacy Policy, wait a few seconds until you see update available (if any), kill NiceLock from recents and try opening it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] The Great Dane:
Been lurking around a bit so already got it but happen to install available updates before I saw the jedi ?

Keep up the good work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
Slim list!!!!! Yaaaaaassss...Love you dev!!! ...one more paying customer - satisfied...

LE: had free version and jedi = workes.

Now, payed version, enrolled in beta...installed jedi as last resort = doesn't work... Still got the galaxy store links...no update through jedi
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Rollout is slow today by play store. If you see galaxy store, you didn't get the latest version as I completely removed it. Could you check for updates in an hour please. Then it will install newest probably.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
Will do
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Sorry about the delay, and thanks so much for your support!

Apparently the new version I pushed (for new one hand operation icon, is waiting for approval and should go live within 30 mins), stopped rollout of latest version. This is why you get previous one without jedi. Anyways you should get it in ~30 mins with new module icon. I will mention you when I get the approval mail. Thanks again, hope you enjoy it!

Edit: Update should appear now [MENTION=6728168]Diaconescu_Tiberiu[/MENTION] . Just a note, you may not see jedi in first opening, just close and reopen after the update :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
Working now.

What is Notistar supposed to do. i only see a screen with all notifications when i access it through nicelock
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zahin5542:
Installed this after long time using tiles app to access the settings of the shortcut for good lock plugins. And I'm really happy with this app. Also now I'm able to know which plugins have new update and its organized. Thanks for this awesome work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
OK. Glad to hear!

It keeps all notifications as archive for 30days by default. You can also folderize them and search. Thats all.

Hi! Jedimode seems to open chrome/apkmirror but just instantly closes again and does nothing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
It should start download right away. What module are you trying? Let me check the link
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zaidshb:
I've done that the minute you told me about caches ? and it's working like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donoboy97:
I found the problem, it doesn't download when another tab is open. When i closed all my tabs and tried it again the download popup appeared. Looks like a chrome beta problem!

Glad to hear! May the force be with you, then [emoji4]

Was Jedi mode a bad name [emoji23]?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donoboy97:
Lol, I liked it. The mode is awesome, just like the jedi. Only hope the darkside (google) won't kill it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Conito11:
So this is an modules auto updater ?:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Not auto, kinda manual but unfortunately it seems like I'm gonna have to disable it already. I'm sorry about that. Will try to make another app with module update/download feature.

Reason is analytics records that interaction with download server and Google is veery strict about that. Upon doing further research, Google says that any links provided within the app must also comply with rules. This also worries me about the links in the OP. I'm open to any ideas. So for now, unfortunately Jedi Mode is disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Conito11:
:crying:

That is too bad... maybe this thread could be the support threat for nicelook app, and you can create another thread with the updater app for the modules. So you could keep giving support for nicelook without breaking Google's rules. :D

-

obviously don't give a link to the other thread here or in the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Yeah it seems like this is the way to go. I am updating in app prompt and will ship the update tonight. I can see a lot of 1-star reviews coming lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Conito11:
But you have to explain why... well if they don't like the new changes can go to th... find another app :laugh:

keep going, you are doing great
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Thanks for the support man! I'm pushing the update to Play Store now. Then will move the links as comment here. It is a step back, but better safe than sorry. A downloader application will come ASAP.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Due to Google Play Store policies, I had to remove any links that "has a purpose that facilitates the distribution of software applications and games for use on Android devices outside of Google Play". The main reason support thread to be affected is Google Play considers any link provided within the app is a part of the app. I will also work on an auto-updater/downloader that can be installed only from outside the store. Meanwhile, an alternative thread on Themes and Apps section of this forum is created and links are available there. Also, you can get them from ApkMirror or Sammobile. Sorry about any inconvenience.

Hi, you should install older versions of modules. It is shown as "Min API" on apkmirror. If you install version saying Min: Oreo, it will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] turoocool:
Sure, i`ve checked version, it tells me that will compatible only for 8.1+. BTW tnx.

There are 2 versions, one free with a little banner ad at the bottom and one donate version which is available here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluehorizonapps.nicelock3Paid

I was unable to make it through in app purchases and went the easier way. BTW price adjusting was a bit weird, let me know if you notice it is too high with your country please. Any issues with the new one?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] K-alz:
No issues, man. Which one would be more financially beneficial for ya, the free with ads or the paid one? I can do either one. I don't mind running ads if it helps you or just pay the $4. Let me know.

Edit: btw, there is no ad banner on the free one, just an empty white space. I think you need to fix that lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Since my ads not working lol, I would go with paid one if its okay for you . Thank you ?

Google says it will take time for ads to appear, debug says app setup is fine but no ad returned on google's side yet. Probably gonna take some time.

How's Turkey btw? My absolute best friend here in the US is from Turkey.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Thanks again!

Turkey is a little bit worrying economically, but other than that we are doing okay I guess, better than Lakers for sure. I'm sending my greetings to him/her ?

How are things in US? I had chances to visit a couple times in recent years but missed already ? Could've been working there if most of the aerospace sector wouldn't need a citizenship.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] K-alz:
Will let him know you said hi. His name is Cagri. He's like a brother to me. Things are alright here. You should apply for a work Visa and find someone to sponsor you and apply at NASA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xantrk:
Well that's my dream actually. But they deny most applications from abroad instantly, and apparantly there is another heavy restriction called ITAR which prevents non-citizens from working in even aerospace-related jobs. They say it is unlikely to get an ITAR permit unless you get a respected PhD. Won't stop trying though, wish we will have some rockets flying to space from here too :)

Again, thanks for your support man, have a nice weekend!

Good luck, man. Same to you.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Diaconescu_Tiberiu:
Any thoughts why some (few) apps don't work?

Is there anything out there that could give me back list view for recents? For now i use Nova and killed ui.launcher so i got rid of that awful card effect. I do have list view (of sorts) but not like it uses to be...all top borders of any opened app was stacked on top of each other, so I could see 10-15 apps opened, recognizing them by their name which was written on that top bar
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Conito11:
I can do it (from the square button on the grid of recent, if you drag the app to top or bottom the app n opens split) but it can't be done long pressing recent or back button. Some guys are saying that it can be done...

Hey, man, since you had to remove links to modules.. Can you atleast write here when there's an update for modules? Or are we still going to receive notifications inside the app about updates?

You will recieve notifications for sure. Also link are just moved to another thread in this Themes, Apps and Mods section of Note 9 forum here.

Is it just on my Note8 or does the "panel Background alpha"-option in Quickstar not work anymore? At least my notifications aren't transparent any more :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zaidshb:
What if you add as many features to NiceLock like auto downloads and external links and so on but limit them in the free version which will be only available on xda, at the same time you publish a paid app on the play store which it's sole purpose is unlocking features on the main. This way I think you can still comply with googles rules and provide a feature full app at the same time.
