No. I just finished major updatw for smart taskbar this week. Just want to take a rest for a week. Will go back to add more featrure such as dpad and horziontal buttons

Wow sweet thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] lezink:
THIS is great news.

For sure, I'll switch to the paid version when I get 'horizontal button' feature.

BTW, thanx for must have TSR for my HD2 (1st app installed after each flash in fact....)
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
Can you download smart tadkbar and try the swipe mode???? It works very great on my milestone but not sure does it work well on hd2. If the swipe also works well, I will add it to button savior.
[Android Apps and Games] mattfmartin:
@jerryfan2000

would it be possible to make this app work with the wp7 rom for hd2?

Any idea when version with dpad will be ready? sorry i just relly need the dpad buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] emindede:
This app is the one I'm looking for. It's very appreciated. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] shree.cse:
This is really nice work! Can you please try make the icon button as a widget which allows us to move its position dynamically on the screen to launch the app instead of setting the icon position manually. Is it possible?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] ngagephone:
No dont do that if its a widget then it can not be used unless your on the home screen. But it can all ready be moved up and down the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] dertester123:
Its a really nice app!.

What are the features of the pro version? Just changing the order of the functionbuttons?

Here some features i would like:

-the small button to open the menu could be the real functionbutton instead. This small button is big enough, maby with a little swipe to activate:rolleyes:

This is because the big buttons are often over something and waiting for autohide is sometimes a bit strange^^ 1sec is a bit to short 2 sec a bit to much hehe

-instead of autohide you could add something like hide for 5 seconds if the buttons are over something.

-if its possible a gesture to open/close the button window, but i dont know if this possible as kind of layer over all the other apps ^^

But this is a real savior ^^ Keep going on with good ideas :D
[Android Apps and Games] shree.cse:
Why not widget, which is enabled to be kept always on top?
[Android Apps and Games] ngagephone:
Like i sead above widgets only work from your homescreen. Button savior is all ways on top any way you dont have to hide it.
[Android Apps and Games] globalh3ll:
very nice app

but i think you should add the feature that let user be able to add/remove what icon they want to put in the sidebar

please please please, make a version for windows phone 7 too ..
[Android Apps and Games] jdmitr:
Hi Jerryfan....thanks for the app! I love not using my buttons so much. I sent an email on my idea and thought this might be a good place to post it as well and see what everyone else thinks.

Excuse me if this has been brought up before...

The idea:

I would personally like a button option to kill the current app I am in. Even though I am using BS for the back button I would like to be able to kill an app since I always back out of them. I loved it when pongster (i think) had long pressing the back button in his build and have been looking for the perfect integration of this since with no luck. There are a few apps on the market that kind of do this but they dont just kill the app with the touch of a button.

I personally would even pay for it! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] wearefree:
You may use touchpal keyboard, which contains a beautiful dpad.

Hi jerryfan2000,

any news for the update?

I hope for the new Sense UI Skin style from internauta2000 ...
[Android Apps and Games] jcsy:
windows 7 doesnt really support multitasking hence, a button saviour for WM7 might not completely be possible at this point :)

anyways, i checked the thread for anyone with problems after changing screen density to something other than the default 260 on my droid build

this resulted in small / tiny buttons on Button Saviour 1.0.9

so far the only fix to this is to use Spare Parts & turn on Compatibility mode >.<

anyone else found a different fix?

Back and Parameter buttons pb

Very usefull application, but i get a pb now with the latest Dandiest final v3.2 (I am using Magldr version).

Installed Button Savior ver 1.09 from Market and all buttons are working except "Back" & "Parameter". The first time i click on one of them it ask for Root and the app is listed in "Super User", but this does not fix the pb. When i click on one of them, icon change to yellow but nothing happens.

Is there something i can do?

What verson of superuser are you using and are you using the pro key?
[Android Apps and Games] cyber-junkie:
My superuser says its up-to-date (v2.3.6.1) - and I its the free version (not the Elite-Version).

I'm using the free version of Button Savior v1.09 (I'm waiting for a new update to buy the pro version) - and the only thing I miss is the new skin and a reboot/shutdown-button (should be nice when the power-menu opens when longpressing the screen-off-softbutton...)

The v3.3 from Dandiest did not solve this issue, can someone explain why these two buttons do not work with these buils?
[Android Apps and Games] cyber-junkie:
I had the same issues with an older version of Button Savior on another SD-Build - before activating USB-debugging... but on Dandiest v3.3 (and v3.2) it do not work even USB-debugging is activated - so I think his new Roms have problems with USB-debugging...

Thank you for your explanations and may be jerryfan2000 can have an advise on what we can do to make his nice program to work with Dandiest v3.2 and v3.3 buils?
[Android Apps and Games] newkid8888:
Hi Jerryfan,

a) adding a option to allow user to kill/exit the current app is a very useful feature. "Quick Exit Froyo" on the market gives similar functionality but not very user friendly.

b) is it possible allow user to assign a shortcut/app to a button ?

[Android Apps and Games] ducklas1:
i have the softbuttons constantly on my screen ( Only Close, Poweroff, Home and Back )...so far there was no need to hide the app so the close button is not neccessary...but you never know. So i would suggest you implement an option to put the close button on a hardwarekey...and possibility to unselect it in menu...and swipe mode from smart taskbar...for next release.

Hopefully we get some sign of life in the next days/weeks...:rolleyes:

The close button only hides the sidebar it does not exit out the app.

[Android Apps and Games] Macelangelo77:
First of all, thanks for the app. I like it a lot.

I'm wondering whether it's possible to prevent the trigger button to show up on the Widgetlocker Lockscreen? I've tried adding the name of the process (com.smart.swkey) to the hiding list within Widgetlocker, but without result. Is there any way to have the trigger button not showing up on my lockscreen? This makes Widgetlocker somewhat useless... I used the thread search but WL is too short and widgetlocker gives no result found, so hopefully someone here using Widgetlocker too.

Keep up the good work! Hopefully we'll see an update soon.

Sincerely,

Mac

[Android Apps and Games] huggs:
You might want to try the app 'Z4Root' from the Android market if you haven't already. There's a good possibility that you can gain root access by using this app. If it works, get also an app called Superuser which will manage root permissions, and also an app called Busybox, which is required for some of the root-required apps. With root access, the sidebar softkey app should work great for you :-D

sadly to said... i've superuser in my application but, i don't know how to use it... even so... there are nothing in application list... and also i don't see anybutton to add application on superuser....

also i trying to instal Z4Root but, it can't be installed... it's 1.6 Android image...

maybe it's a little different... or maybe because i installed the android on my harddisk... so i root it from my harddisk...

Looking forward to new features like a better back button or something similar.
[Android Apps and Games] wearefree:
Everything is good with the new update. Jerry did mention that he will bring the horizontal alignment to the next update, which to me, is highly anticipated.

Another desired feature is to hide the trigger button, or to trigger with some complex gesture. I keep the trigger at the lower right corner and for the most part it stays out of sight. But the ability to hide it would be great!

Anybody know how I can make it friends with lcd density change?

It works fine with SystemPanel lite which i use. When I press "end all", service is still running.

[Android Apps and Games] Olioaglio:
Hi jerry,

just installed your latest version (1.1.1) and like the new horizontal button order feature very much. Though I have some minor glitches and some suggestions for next version to make it near perfect for me.

1) if you have less than 5 icons placed (pro) and select horizontal mode, the icons will be placed vertical in the upper or lower screen area, not horizontal. So you have to select 5 or more items to get it horizontal.

2) there would fit 5 feature icons plus exit button into horizontal layout. But if you select 5 items to show (pro), you get only 4 items plus the toggle icon, though on the second page is just the 5th icon and the toggle and exit button again. If there would be 5 feature buttons in the first screen, there would be no need for second screen (nor toggle button). Very annoying at least for me.

3) If you chose bottom horizontal layout and use menu item from button savior, the upcoming menu is partly covered by button savior. So you first have to quit out manually to see complete menu. What about the feature to auto hide button savior especially in bottom horizontal mode, only when menu button was triggered. This could be implemented as on/off feature in button savior settings.

Your opinions to that report would be very appreciated.

Thanks, Olioaglio

I keep my buttons always avaiable on the top of the screen which is the area that has least conflict with other programs. Currently using the default theme which is the only theme that allowed me to "see thru" the buttons.
