Shade has been updated to Android Q!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/f5zz38/shade_launcher_q_the_best_of_both_worlds/

New Screenshots

-

Having grown tired of only decompiling and porting Google’s Pixel Launcher code, I decided to turn my own vision for a launcher into reality.

It's based on the latest AOSP Launcher3 Pie version.

What can it do?

Mostly everything Rootless Pixel Launcher could do, but there are some additional features.

Themes: Make your launcher look like eye candy using one of the precreated themes.

Categories: Order your apps in the app drawer or hide them in the Hidden category.

Smart Unread: Show what’s most important at the top of your home screen.

Quickstep: The Magisk module QuickSwitch that lets other apps handle recents is supported.

Plugins: Have third party add-ons implement additional functionality in the launcher.

Here’s the full release thread on Reddit: Shade Launcher

You are free to use the code in any way you like, as long as you keep me in your credits.

Thank you for this new launcher Amir, will have a try soon !

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] romskii:
Awaiting a compatible version with Android Q beta, currently I can't test it cause the launcher keeps crashing
[Android Apps and Games] blankplains:
Currently mainlining a Nokia 6.1 (2018), Android 9.0, 00WW_3_51F_SP01 Build Number

Really slick launcher my dude, nice break away from the bottom search bar, and to have a proper swipe down to expand notification shade that Android One Launcher simply does not have. The only thing I could possibly ask for is maybe a few more icon shapes (rounded square being the priority). Other than an early bird with a few bugs which involve crashing after using the widgets picker, it's a good enough barebones option.
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
Cylinder and Rounded Square are in the new Play Store build that is rolling out.

I've had others report it to me before but I cannot reproduce it and the crash trace only shows some weird native code going wrong. Furthermore, it also seems to happen with AOSP Launcher3. At the moment, I still have no idea what's happening...
[Android Apps and Games] notlek:
very smooth launcher i like it, can i make a suggestion that allows users to configure which apps can use the smart notifications. I love the idea but i would like not to have messages from whats app displayed through that widget
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
It's set to use the same notifications as the ones that show notification dots. Disable the notification dot for WhatsApp if you want to hide it in Smart Unread.
[Android Apps and Games] blankplains:
Thank you for adding the dock override for search bar widget, I can properly replicate the Android One layout as I personally intended.

As an unpopular, tangential opinion, docking icons in Launcher3 never played as nicely as it should have given some aspect ratios on larger displays. So I don't mind having a search bar in lieu of icons.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsun_Pooka:
Hello! Any chance this could see a release on F-Droid? I'm going to give it a try soon!

EDIT: I'd surely love being able to change and edit categories, as well as better controlling the dock. Looks great otherwise!
[Android Apps and Games] murali3127:
Is there an option to hide apps?
[Android Apps and Games] LazyT:
Nice launcher!

I'm using Smartlauncher at the moment and miss the following features in shade:

- gestures (swipe up/down/left/right to start apps)

- add/delete categories

- categories at side instead on top

Would be great to see this in the future. :)

---------- Post added at 20:17 ---------- Previous post was at 20:08 ----------

Long press the app and select hidden category.
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
Swipe down is used for notifications, up to go to all apps, right to open the feed and left to go to the next page. Would you want to disable all of these just to quickly start apps?

I would want to bring this at some point but it does require designing an interface for it, which is also the reason why giving per-app icon selection is taking so long. I want it to fit in with the AOSP aesthetic.

Same problem, not sure how this would fit in with the AOSP UI, right now they are taking the place of app suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] LazyT:
Maybe it's possible to difference this from gestures: gestures only in the center area of the screen?

Ok, but on phones you get the doubled space vertically for icons as horizontally. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] murali3127:
What's the use when the hidden app can be discovered by search?
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
Is there any launcher that doesn't let you find apps again after hiding them? If anything, Shade's way to unhide makes it so you need to know which app was hidden to unhide it, while other launchers have a global "unhide" option where you can see all the apps you've hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] Melonenkompott:
Maybe I'll find the time to test this launcher tomorrow, but I'd already like to know if there's an option to not show any categories in the app drawer?

edit: Ok, seems like I'll stick to your Rootless Launcher, because I can't remove categories. This version has to too many 'unnecessary' features, but that's only my personal taste.
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
New update based on Android Q: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/f5zz38/shade_launcher_q_the_best_of_both_worlds/
[Android Apps and Games] blankplains:
Nokia 6.1 (2018), Android 10, 00WW_4_10C_SP01 Build

Love the further integration into the stock Quickstep aesthetic, as well as the adaptive search bar in app drawer, something the Android One launcher forgot to get on Android Q/10. This has basically succeeded the rootless pixel launcher in every way now, plus some variation while maintaining smooth performance without overwhelm. My only request is having the accent color with dark mode match the stock cornflower blue-like accent, or just make that an option while keeping the current accent.

https://i.redd.it/5g4ywmcddjk31.png

EDIT: the animated clock icon does not change shape, refer to build outlined in the header of this post.
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
Not sure about the first point, I could look into using the system accent in the future.

Could you elaborate on the clock issue?
[Android Apps and Games] blankplains:
Yeah the system accent extracted, assuming that won't cause any overt optimization issues? If not applicable, perhaps just add the Black/Gray, Space, Cinnamon, etc. from the developer options settings as manually selected options.

I fidgeted with icon shape, it sometimes fixes the problem when I restart the launcher, sometimes it doesn't and the shape is stuck.

Hey, Qyuickswitch support stopped on new Android Q release?

Ive been using it on Android Pie, but not working on any android Q version, just saw that you stopped support but I dont know if you stopped it recently or with new Q release...

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

Hey, which alternative? Lawnchair its too buggy, and I didnt find any other custom pixel launcher based with quickswitch support...
[Android Apps and Games] ErbDroid:
[MENTION=3012129]azaidi[/MENTION] firstly...

THANK YOU!

was a big fan of your other work, but this is

AMAZING!

Loving the 'shade', the work apps drawer! Quick-step and

MOST

of all... Its really light & unbloated!!! (Shade on my OnePlus, usage =

MAX 75mb

of RAM, Official OnePlus launcher =

AVERAGE 115mb

RAM.

That being said there are just a couple things i would like to suggest if i could please my friend...

1. Add the ability to toggle the 'App Search' & 'App Categories' off/on.

Reason: whilst some people do have 100 apps installed, others do not. App search gesture (home click) you use could still be used. It uses alot of screen space and if it wasnt there for me, all my apps would fit on the drawer without scrolling at all ALSO while categories are great idea for those (again) with a ton of apps, they are very unaccurate ('travel' contains a keyboard, kernel manager and a file manager) so the option to choose these with a toggle would be appreciated!

2. With all that added space could we possibly resize the icons & labels too? They are small on my OP3 and the app labels really are too small!

3. I like the home button to search apps l BUT do we need it constantly printed on the home screen reminding us constantly? We can remember! Thats

the ugliest

bit in this

BEAUTIFUL

launcher.

4. when we pick 'square' or 'squircle' icons etc etc... Can it please use the same for our folders too please? This is also slightly ugly, when my homescreen has square icons on it with circle folders next to it :'(

5. (this ones not as important as the rest! just a nice feature)

the 'double tap home screen to sleep / lock' option that 'Ruthless' launcher has (it has 2 options to activate, for those with & without root)

Honestly i think it would be

PERFECTION!

after this.

I only ask as i believe in this project, and that this is definately the launcher for me! But these small changes will improve the app for all

THANK YOU! For once again, creating a masterpiece! It really is appreciated!

[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
1, 3 and 4 have been taken care of since the first Android 10 update months ago.

2, I'm not sure, I don't feel like it is necessary as the default Pixel XML profiles look good to most

5 is under consideration for the next update. I'm just hoping Google adds a clean implementation to AOSP at some point.

However I'm sorry to say I don't support Quickstep anymore, as it's very tough to develop for. I don't have any rooted devices right now.
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
It has been added in the new update, using the Accessibility Service method for Android 9 and 10 (sorry, not for Android 7 and 8).

Since a lot of phones are now getting updated to at least Android 9 I figured it was worth adding.

Full changelog for the new build, release APK can be found on the Play Store and GitHub as always.

Update sources to new AOSP revision.

Rework the app drawer search bar to look more like Pixel Launcher and add vibration when clicking it.

Add double tap to sleep on Android 9/10 (enable the accessibility service!)

Improve the feeling of overscrolling in the app drawer.

Increase space on the left/right of the app info and widgets popup title.

Fix some bugs with the hidden apps menu.
[Android Apps and Games] ErbDroid:
That's great! Thank you [MENTION=3012129]azaidi[/MENTION]

Shame the root method wasn't included with the accessibility option, this works on versions 6 + and obviously doesn't need accessibility service.

But still be good for my newer device! Thank you!

This bit is off topic, I apologise but I am a huge fan of another one of your apps: adaptive stune it made my EAS Oreo devices feel smooth AF!!! One of my favourite apps ever! VERY VERY CLEVER!!! gaming with it was perfect. Is there a reason why that app was never updated to pie?? It works perfect on Oreo, doesn't work at all on pie though, I was wondering if there was a particular reason? I would 1000% LOVE that working, do you think it doesn't work on pie as it just hasn't been updated to pie or did android break something in pie release that broke adaptive stune? Sorry for off topic, but adaptive stune is an app unlike any other! Such a shame to see your amazing work not working with newer versions :'( I have starred the github and was tempted... I took a look... And I am lost! I am a mere mortal and no android/java/C god like you! :D
[Android Apps and Games] azaidi:
I stopped using custom kernels and root altogether since my 3T was updated to Pie, and my OP7 Pro is even bootloader locked. It's the same reason I don't support QuickSwitch anymore - I myself stopped using anything that required root, so I can't test it, thus I can't make it work reliably.

The way it works is not that hard to understand though.

This is the event that gets triggered when the activity changes:

https://github.com/amirzaidi/Adapti...ava/amirz/adaptivestune/StuneService.java#L95

First it applies the new boost for the new activity, then it uses the framerate data from the previous activity to calculate what its boost should be the next time you launch it.

This is the class that handles the superuser (root) commands:

https://github.com/amirzaidi/Adapti...main/java/amirz/adaptivestune/su/Tweaker.java

Here it probably has to be adapted for new kernel variable paths on Pie/Q.
[Android Apps and Games] ErbDroid:
Honestly [MENTION=3012129]azaidi[/MENTION] **THANK YOU** for helping when needed, and of course, the awesome work you do.
[Android Apps and Games] ChristianTC:
Hello, thanks for this wonderful launcher, I am using the version 2019-08-21 21:15 it is the one that I liked the most but it has a bug and that is that if the accesses of the categories near the search bar are uploaded and you do click appears the apps in the category but there is a space between the apps and the accesses, I uploaded some screenshots to show it, I was wondering if you could fix it?

Is there a way to remove the At a Glance Widget from stock Pixel Launcher? Or replace it with the one from Google App's. The Google App version works way better while the Pixel Launcher one often doesn't show or refresh weather at all.
[Android Apps and Games] chuy19312:
I have an suggestion. What about putting an option to hide apps from app drawer? i like to install many apps and games, put them on folders and then hide them from drawer to find other apps faster
[Android Apps and Games] Livio78:
Hello, the launcher is gorgeous.

If the developer decided to pull off an update of his SHADE LAUNCHER after years, could he add changing the size of icons and icon labels on 2 lines?

I await a response from the developer. Thank you

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Peixeiro:
Hi,

With stock rom (stable or open beta), when Poco F1 are locked and press Power Button, there are an option to shutdown phone.

This is a security problem!

If the phone is stolen, the thief can easily turn off the phone and prevent us from locating it, deleting its contents, ringing...

It happened to my stepfather, who only regained its Pocophone thanks to video surveillance of the space where it was stolen because the phone was immediately shut down and we cannot get your location.

Is there any way to disable the power off option when the phone is locked?

Preferably without Root access.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sotosgolf:
There is no way to totally disable the power button.

Even if you were able to make the shut down option to disappear, pressing the power button for 10-15 seconds will make the phone reboot.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Peixeiro:
Yes, press for 15 seconds reboot, but don't shutdown! After reboot, I can localized the phone again!

I only want remove the "Shutdown" option on power menu.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Devilzeyez:
interested cuz it happened to me yesterday, i guess its a security thing. cuz someone turned off my phone and luckily i was wearing my Bluetooth ear piece and i noticed it got disconnected so i barely found it.

i think there should be a way to like put a password or fingerprint when u wanna reboot or shutdown the phone!!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MiPiMok:
Yes it's possible go to Settings --> Lockscreen & password-->advanced settings---> Power menu acess

There's no option like that in 10.3.7

I have that option on custom miui by xiaomi.eu

Its very useful but still i would prefer if the power button was completely locked by password so the phone cannot be rebooted to recovery by the thief.

GCam in LG G7 won't load lgg7.xml (says it's not there...)

Hello, sorry for the nubie status...

My phone is a LG G7 ThinQ (G710ULM), cross-flashed to Android 10 using a Canadian kdz).

I just installed your GCam port (7.3.018 v2.1). I then tried to load the configs file lgg7.xml but the new 'Camera' app says 'You don't have any configs!'

I tried installing the app from a GCam directory (at the same level as DCIM) on both internal and micro SD storage. I tried placing the same lgg7.xml file in both Configs and Configs7 sub directories - nothing works.

Seems that the app itself needs the Configs file since it's slow to track what you are pointing the lens at.

Any suggestions?
