[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
1- fixed in next release

2- Not sure I understand. Small caps should be caps, but smaller. I know this might point to another unicode character, nonetheless, an uppercase "A", even in small caps, will still looks like a "A". In your corrections, "Đ" in smallcaps looks like a lower case character.

Should I understand that the font I'm using (nothing fancy, a default Android font) doesn't support smallcaps in vietnamese and replaces it with lowercase characters ?

In that case, I see only 3 workarounds :

- find a font that supports Vietnamese (and hopefully most characters) small caps

- force Uppercase instead of small caps when in vietnamese

- stop using small caps for the menu

3- Missing boxes/sliders should be fixed in next release. As for ANR, I havent been able to reproduce it yet or find any reason why it could happen

4- Technically, the notifiation badge is not missing, I've just not developped it yet (it's not part of the system, I need to code everything), but it's on my todo list.

I havent developped a "clear all" button because notifications on Android Tv is not supposed to be cluttered as much as on smartphones. But you can still clear them one by one, using left or right arrow when they're focused.

I'll try to make more tests

Things have evolved a bit since the last time this was mentionned. It's now technically possible to totally hide it, but, it's the only way to reorder categories. I think it would be a bad UX decision to force users to toggle an option (in this case, show left headers), in order to do something completely different (reorder categories).

But anyway, it's still not possible right now to permanently show the left headers (the component I'm using doesn't offer this option, I would have to hack into its code, which is not impossible, but not easy).

To find the best solution, I'd like to better understand your needs. I've based my current design (reorder button on the left of the current category, which means there's _something_ on the left of the leftmost card) on the stock android tv launcher (at least on the Shield), which does the same thing (except for the category name, that is not displayed)

What is wrong exactly with this left header ? In my everyday usage, I almost never trigger it, unless I want to reorder or change a category setting.

The only reason I could see is that you're left pressing the left arrow to go back to the leftmost card, which right now causes the left headers to be displayed.

If that's the reason I can see 2 workarounds :

- for now, you can use "back" button to automatically go to the left card

- in a future version, I'll try to modify the behavior to mimic the stock launcher : long pressing left stops at the 1st card, you have to release the button and press it once more to display the reorder button.

Would that fit your needs ?

There's already a filter that removes portrait images, as well as low resolution (<800px) images. This works pretty well with Earthporn (the default one).

But some subreddits don't enforce resolution in their xml feed. For example, in Astrophotograpy, most feed items lack the resolution information. Instead of displaying nothing, my algorithm automatically removes the filter if there's not result or less than 2 or 3 items (if I remember correctly the feed only contains the last 20 pictures).

Will be fixed in next release, sorry for that

On 4.30, I believe I display every program that can be displayed.

There are still reasons pictures can't be loaded :

- when picture URIs are URLs, they need to be HTTPS (and of course, the certificate has to be valid, as well as the current date/time). Google discourages the use of http (and unfortunately, they never added an option to accept it globally on a local network). I add a workaround for local network as follow : urls pointing to localhost and ".local, .test, .home, .lan, .localdomain" TLDs can use http.

- if the file is not accessible because of wrong permissions (ex: old apps that saves to public externalstorage or their private app storage). Once again, Google discourages direct access to the file storage (with the exception of file managers) as refuses to validate apps that don't follow their recommendations.

This might work on the stock launcher because as a system app, it has more permissions.

The next release will show a bit more detailed information regarding the reason why the picture couldn't be loaded.

On my tests however, all the channels I added could display pictures, except Kodi. Seems their content providerwas unable to share thumbnails saved on my NAS.

Regarding Haystack, it's not broken. It's just not developped. I have to transform the current "simple" card into a media player, while keeping memory low and scrolling smooth. This will take time.

I don't understand the "missed the old option on old tv launchers pressing the left arrow can't push the apk icon for open the main apk on videos . One need go up and press the correct apk window."

I'm not able to reproduce this. Could you please give me more details (and a screenshot). On my tests, "none" seems to behave exactly as if I choose a black wallpaper.

It's already on my todo list ;)
