I used swipepad on my xiaomi redmi note 5 for many years. App stopped working after I recently upgraded phone's operating system named miui from 10 to 11, which is built on top of android 9.

What happened was I can swipe to open the grid, but nothing happens when I select an app or shortcut.

Isn't it always the case you don't know how invaluable something is until it is gone. Without swipepad, I have to go back to the stone ages and look for the right page and folder to select the app I want.

I searched for an alternative for a long time, but many pops up a wheel to select app or shortcut. Miui even has one built-in called Quick Ball. Serious flaw with a wheel is your finger covers up what you're trying to select!

I was so desperate I even dreamed about learning to write my own android app. How hard could it be?

Until I found zone launcher ...

After I installed and setup my apps & shortcuts (good job with the wizard), I thought I found the perfect alternative.

Alas, I wouldn't register and write this post if everything works perfectly.

If I am inside zone launcher, I can swipe and run an app/shortcut. Afterwards, when I swipe to open the launcher, grid appears but nothing happens when I select and app/shortcut. Same problem when I swipe from outside zone launcher.

Btw, same problem is mentioned in one of the reviews in play store. I believe it could be related to many chinese phones such as xiaomi and huawei. Custom android versions break many apps such as macrodroid or tasker.

I am happy to help in any way to fix this. Is there a test apk to help with troubleshooting?

Do you already have a clue of how to deal with Android 10's gesture system that uses the edge swipes for navigation?
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Sorry for the late reply. Yes you can customise the size of the grid and it's columns. I hope you could figure it yourself already.
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Thanks for your feedback.

Actually this is a specific issue with Xiaomi devices latest update (only). They introduced a new weird permission.

From system settings screen select zone launcher settings and select "other permissions" and enable the permission: "Display pop-up windows while running in the background"

A tutorial should be available with the coming update for Xiaomi users.
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Yes. Swipe a bit vertically the trigger zone area.

Remember, Vertically not horizontally.
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
Thank you for your reply! Yes I managed to reduce it to 3x2, though it is a bit too wide to my taste (even after enabling small hand mode). I wish it could be narrower, more like the Samsung Edge style. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Ruuo:
Thank you very much!

It fixed same issue in swipepad as well. But I'm going to stick with zone launcher, it's in active development and launches the apps/shortcuts faster.

Thanks again for your help!
[Android Apps and Games] Nanda Parbat:
Have you thought about doing alpha testing? I would like to participate.
[Android Apps and Games] thokkalodi:
Thanks for creating this wonderful app. I've been using it since November. Bought the full version within an hour of trying it. Just a few suggestions.

1. It'd be great if the space between the shortcuts could be customised so that we could have more shortcuts within the same area.

2. Would it be possible to change and edit individual shortcuts' icons and names? I used Swiftly Switch Pro and got used to this feature.

Really love your take on this after having used Swipepad and Swiftly Switch Pro over the past five-six years.

Hope you will actively develop this.
[Android Apps and Games] thokkalodi:
Is this app abandoned? No activity for so long.... Shouldn't have bought the app :(
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
There is a new update being cooked and will be released within days (it's super hot :D ) please keep an eye on the app updates. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] thokkalodi:
Thank you for working on an update!
[Android Apps and Games] IAMG:
Nice work, my friend, excellent app! It would be great to have the ability to trigger the app using gestures apps
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
That's a nice idea that I'm strongly considering. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
The new update is out. Please have a look at it.
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Small hand mode is now more customizable to whatever size you like.

Per app icon and name customisation are available as well.

Please check the last update.
[Android Apps and Games] thokkalodi:
Wow! Just installed the update and it's awesome! Thanks for adding individual shortcut customisation. The resize window option is also great!

I'm also able to backup the configuration now. I couldn't earlier.

Also thanks a lot for all the new features.

Only two suggestions from me if they would be possible.

1. Ability to reduce the spacing between the rows so that we can fit more apps per window without having to scroll

2. Ability to select the layout of shortcuts from Top to bottom or Bottom to top. Because I'm now used to arranging my apps from Bottom to Top and when I remove blocks my most used apps are removed from the bottom and I have to rearrange the whole grid. Maybe it's just my preference and some might like it the other way round. That's the reason I'm suggesting an option to select both ways. Don't know if it would be feasible or not.

These two options would make the already great app even better and totally complete for me :good:

Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Glad you liked the last update :)

I'll keep these requests in mind and will be applied soon.
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Released a new update fixing shortcuts and orientation issues.
[Android Apps and Games] MerijnB:
After these last two updates the layout of my icons is mirrored over X-axis. Is this expected behavior? Anyway to reverse it?
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Yes this was intended to match the normal arrangement of icons in the normal launchers as soo many users complained about the inverted behaviour. Now I received other complaints about the top to bottom arrangement so expect an update within few days (may be even today!) making this flow of icons an option (top to bottom or bottom to top)
[Android Apps and Games] MerijnB:
(I thought the behavior was with regards to how you insert 'icons', not how they are displayed, I mean, I set up my layout some way, whether you call it top to bottom or bottom to top, it was the way I preferred it).

Anyways: great, thanks so much!
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
It's not only about adding new blocks but for listing the installed apps of the alphabetic order is from bottom to top or the opposite. Sorry for this but just wait for the new update.
[Android Apps and Games] evilmonkey1987:
This is a great app! I unlocked before I saw the promo codes, but happy to support you. :)

One thing that seems to be a bug: I can't create a shortcut for Driving Mode (Google Maps). The system just crashes and doesn't create the icon. This happens on both Android 9 and 10.

Also, I want to use your app on a car headunit. Problem is that when I turn off my car, a script runs that kills all the apps. Some devs are working on a way to fix that, but in the meantime, is there an intent I can trigger with tasker to start up your app without the main config window opening? I have a little tasker script that I exported as an app that silently runs some housekeeping things every time I start the car...I would like launching your app to be one of those things, but not if it brings up the configuration window on my screen.
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Really glad you liked it!

It's easy to do it from tasker to start the background service only.

From tasker create a new task -> Action type: "Send Intent"

Package name "com.bialy.zonelauncher"

Class "com.bialy.zonelauncher.mainService"

Target: service

It should work now :)

Please report back if this is what you were looking for.
[Android Apps and Games] evilmonkey1987:
That intent worked, thanks very much! Now only the Driving Mode issue remains. :)
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
You're welcome :) I hope that issue gets resolved soon.
[Android Apps and Games] thokkalodi:
Just one more suggestion . Would it be possible to maintain slight gap between the alphabetical index and the shortcuts grid, so that the index is not triggered while selecting the shortcuts on the last column on right side.

I have a thirteen columns and alphabet index keeps getting triggered a lot of times while trying to select the shortcuts on the last column of the grid.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
The new update provides an option to select the direction of your icons. Please give it a try (from Appearance > General)
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Shortcuts issue now resolved with the latest update. Please give it a try :)
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Thirteen columns! Wow :D

Ok I'll try to provide a kind of option to customise that gap.
[Android Apps and Games] thokkalodi:
Thank you for your quick responses and updates! I figured out a way for this. I added an additional column on the right side and left the last column empty :). Would it be possible to decrease the vertical spacing between the rows so that we can have more rows in the same area without having to scroll?

Also the option to select the flow of icons from top to bottom of vice-versa is perfect!

Once again thanks for your efforts in making this awesome app! And as always keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
You are always welcome :)

The suggestion for controlling the vertical space has been frequently requested so I should consider it strongly with one of the upcoming updates.
[Android Apps and Games] Truant_Luce:
Love the app, but curious. Atm, it seems best to tap and then drag, otherwise it triggers the back gesture. But if I also tap in the same region to send something, it also sometimes triggers this without intentionally trying. Any way you can add an option to add a delay? Like tap and hold for half a second?
[Android Apps and Games] evilmonkey1987:
Yes sir, works like a charm. Thank you!

I made a little video on Zone Launcher for the community of people who have a "tesla-style" android headunit. I think in-car is a very good use case for Zone Launcher. Keep up the great work!

Wow! It looks cool to see it working on a car firmware ?
[Android Apps and Games] garyHal:
Can I have trigger zones on both the right and left edges of the phone?
[Android Apps and Games] kai666:
Yes, and top and bottom edges as well
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Yes, sure!

From triggers menu you can add whatever number of triggers anywhere. If you didn't buy the Pro version I'm happy to send a free promo code.
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Same answer as above :D
[Android Apps and Games] garyHal:
Cool, just purchased this app. Questions :

1) Can the shortcuts be gathered near the side that triggered it.?

2) I like the resize window but I don't like the appearance of the window itself, I prefer a clean full unobstructed background. How can I achieve this?

3) Depending on if I use left /right trigger, can the shortcuts mirror the orientation?

4) I have a live wallpaper as a background, can the app at least show a frozen image of it?
[Android Apps and Games] wakaru:
Many thanks for this app. I have installed it today and I think is great. May I be cheeky and ask for a promo code? :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Hi

Sorry for the late reply.

1) You mean like to be dynamically positioned? It can be a feature to be considered with resized window mode.

2) You can still use resized window with a transparent background of the shortcuts container only (from appearance > backgrounds). I hope this is what you are looking for.

3) Sorry I couldn't understand what exactly you mean.

4) this is a feature which I should consider for sure.

Thanks for your feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Sent :svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] garyHal:
1) Yes dynamically positioned so that the shortcuts are aligned closer to the edge that was triggered.

3) Lets say I have a trigger on the right edge of the phone with the shortcuts in the following order: s1, s2, s3

The trigger on the left edge of the phone should mirror the shortcuts in the following order: s3, s2, s1

[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
A new version was released yesterday and it brings many new features. Hope people can give it a try.
[Android Apps and Games] steelersmb:
I like the concept and just purchased it as I have been using another program. A couple of things though:

1. There seems to be a bug in the resize window option. It doesn't work that well and doesn't seem to save your position or size. When I resize the window and then go back into the setting, it seems to reset itself.

2. When renaming a zone, it doesn't show up correctly until you go out and back in.

3. It would be nice to be able to add widgets. Other programs allow this.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] BialyApps:
Thanks for purchasing the app and your detailed feedback. First bug was fixed with the latest release. Renaming a Zone works fine on the devices I tested but probably needs further investigation. Widgets are considered but their code is not final yet. Mostly will be made available soon. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] MerijnB:

[Android Apps and Games] MerijnB:
With the current version I'm having issues where zone launcher is active with apps in landscape mode, while in configuration this is disabled. Also when I blacklist the apps which are in landscape mode or disable zone launcher all together it still is active in landscape mode. The only way to stop zone launcher in that case is to force stop it.

I hope a fix is available soon, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] MerijnB:
@BialyApps any news on these issues, is a new release planned? This makes the current version almost unworkable for me.

Dear Baily,

I have installed this launcher in my Samsung Fold2 since 4 months before and updated to the latest version.My Phone is also updated to the latest Android 13.Since then Zone launcher does not open the apps in the Zones when I touch them.I can open the zones by swiping the trigger.But the apps in these zones do not respond.I have allowed Accessibility and also disabled battery optimization.But no luck.I am touching the apps in the zones to open them.Is it the correct gester to open the apps? Any body pease suggest a remedy.

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] dannyqanaah:
Hi guys,

Just wondering if I should be shooting in 40mp vs. 10mp.

Are there any differences in photo colors, quality, ect...

Thanks looking forward to reading your guys experience and results!!
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] deus_ex_yue:
In daylight, photos are the same (but with 40 mpx the resolution is higher).

When the lights fade out, with 40 mpx you can not take advantage of pixel binning.

With 40 mpx you cant use ultrawide and 5x zoom.

That's all.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] ZayaanAhyaan:
Apart from the fact you get more details, can't zoom or use the ultra wide angle lens on 40mp, the biggest difference is the white balance. It's more accurate in the 40mp auto mode (without AI) as the 10 mp, with or without AI is extremely disappointing when it comes to skin tones even after the update.
[Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers] Mechaghostman2:
So I've tried Retroarch, ePSXe, and a few free emulators on GAPPS. They all seem to have the same problem. Either the joysticks won't work at all, or when they do, the right joystick can only be used at an angle in some games. This is especially frustrating if you're trying to play a game like Ape Escape where the right analog is used to attack or use the net. Any good solutions, or good emulators that let you properly map the joysticks the way you can with say the Dolphin emulator?
[Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers] Deathbot64:
Have you tried different Joycons? I have tried a few emulators myself for psx games and retroarch had the best joystick settings. I can play ape escape fine when i tweak some of the joystick settings

No...the A5 2017 originally shipped with 6. Samsung phones have been updated to 7 then 8 in accordance with their two update policy regardless of when the OS was released by Google.

So, the A520 is "dead" in terms of official firmware, but still hanging on where unofficial and LOS builds are concerned.

Thus..Samsung isn't "bad" with updates. It's a subjective issue.

Hi!

The latest CIB mobile bank app (updated at: 2019-09-21) detect phone as rooted.

I tried with Magisk 19.3 and 19.4 beta too.

System is Android v7.1.2 and LineageOS 14.1-20171021-UNOFICIAL-KonstaKANG-Y560.

I've reinstalled the bank app (with reboot system), but nothing changed.

I've tried this steps too, it's brake Magisk installation. After that I must reinstall Magisk.

Please repair/update this on next version!

[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Like above, I tested the app and it doesn't detect root on my device (OP3T, custom Pie ROM, Magisk Canary build 19402 with hidden Manager 237). Magisk can hide from the app, so something about your setup is the issue.
[Magisk] ANOka:
Where can I download?

If you've already tried v19.4 beta, there's practically no difference (especially regarding MagiskHide).

I've tried, not working. (See the first open post!)
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
I know, so my statement was made to let you know that you might not need the Canary build at this very moment (since there's currently practically no difference between the builds).
