Should be more like Original NavBar

It should occupy its own space(below the screen), and should have same features as currently, If this would happen, then this app is great and must-have for every android

Would it be possible to have a setting where you have the navbar on the left side when it is in landscape mode? I know a lot of lefties like it like that and while i'm not a lefty I mirror my phone's screen to my car's headunit (appradio 4) and the rest of the controls are on the left side so it would be more convenient.

UDN Banned?

... they banned the whole account

I'm very, very sorry Google removed UDN from Google Play. I've used Ultimate Dynamic Navbar Pro for years and I have been extremely happy with the application. I use UDN on my phone and tablet. I'd be happy to purchase the Pro version again, to show my support.

MrBIMC, if you can let us know how to support you I'll be on your side.

So does that mean it will be back in the Play Store sometime soon then?

I'm running UDN Lite.

Today, I got a thing notification bar that looked like it was from the built in app scanner. The notification warned about UDN and said "uninstall this app immediately" and mentions like "it has permissions that can be very costly".

I sent appeal letter to google - hope they'll unban my account. In any way, update isn't done yet and I don't see any reason to hurry. If somebody needs full apk - he can mail me.

It started few days ago. Now all apps that change state of SELinux are being counted as viruses and google auto-checker suggests to remove such apps :(

Hi,

I got that warning message a couple times before too, but I knew you weren't a scammer so I kept it. Also noticed your app was removed from the play store. Hope you get your account reinstated.

(Love your simple navbar. I have it always running just for the times when I use my phone upside down when charging.)

Maybe send your story to AndroidPolice.com ? They've been running a series of stories recently about how devs are getting increasingly stomped on by Google. e.g.: A screen recorder app (SCR) was pulled today: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...nd-developers-account-closed-without-warning/

Just updated my LG G2 to Lollipop (5.0.2), restored UDN to it, and now UDN will not recognize swipes for a trigger action. It recognizes touches just fine, but not swipes.

I know dev is trying to figure out a new way to code the software, etc., just thought i'd report this bug back.

I tried to contact androidpolice on the day when google announced new rules(so I wrote them that lot of apps will be deleted(heck, I even supplied list of popular apps that will touched by new rules)) - they ignored me.

I was talking to developer of SCR about a week ago. Both his and my appeal was rejected by google, so we were talking about how to bring our apps back(because also, we're now officially forbidden to create new accounts :( ). Situation is hard, but I believe in us.

LG has some software quirks, so the only way to make udn work correctly for your phone is to use xposed module called LG pie support.

Google is starting to become Apple-like with their approval process - NOT a good sign! I really don't like where Android is heading - Android 5 is a step backwards, in my opinion - graphically, it's "grade-shool'ish" and they're really starting to lock it down so much that it's affecting it's "openness".

    APP IS BANNED FROM GOOGLE PLAY :( WILL RETURN SOON though!

    Ultimate Dynamic NavBar - app that alows you to get rid of that horrible space-eating black navbar and replace it with fancy showing-on-swipe customizable navbar-like panel.


    --------------------------------------------------------
    I'd Be Glad Glad If you support me by bying this in Google Play ^_^
    Also you can download lite version there :)

    As always, UDN is free for XDA and 4PDA communities(but if you want to donate me - buy PRO, it's the same, as CE, but updates through Google Play)
    --------------------------------------------------------

    Features:
    - panel that shows up with fancy animation by swipe from bottom edge of the screen or by touching a trigger button (Customizable).
    - XPOSED(safe) or build.prop mod(dangerous) to hide softkeys on your device. All devices with android 4.0+ are supported!
    - you can add up to 9 buttons to the panel (and assign shortClick and LongClick acitons to every button)
    - About 20 different action for buttons: from basic system navigation to "kill app" and "tie custom app"
    - Everything is themable: buttons, panel, glow-effects and more!
    - Swipe mode to navigate the panel like paranoid's pie.
    - small ram consumption (~< 8 MB of RAM)
    - Lots of other customizations and modes.


    Waiting for your bugreports and feature requests on UDN's Issue tracker


    Since this thread moved to devDB, I'm no more able to edit attachments(hope it's temporal bug, though). So here's latest download link:
    udn_v23.2_CE.apk

    Official mimi-FAQ (TOO OUTDATED):
    Q: How to use "Ultimate Dynamic NavBar"?
    A: Switch the switch to "on", then you can trigger UDN's panel by swiping up near the trigger(grey triangle) at bottom-left screen corner of your phone(or tablet).

    Q: Only button that works is "Recents" :( Why?
    A: Looks that you don't have Root permissions on your device. Google for more info...

    Q: Activated "hide real navbar" option, but nothing happened! What I did wrong?
    A: That means that app can't obtain root permissions, or your device don't have busybox installed.

    Q: App can't restore original navbar.
    A: Rare bug :) You can manually restore navbar by removing all "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" lines from /system/build.prop . Mail me if you need help.

    Q: UDN overlaps information on the screen!!!1 How Do I fix it?
    A: That's correct behavior! It is impossible to act another way! And No, I cant overlay nothing in the zone of real navbar :) Don't ask!!


    Q: Android 4.3, can't hide notification. Is it possible to fix?
    A: No, since google fixed bug I used to hide notification. There's no way to hide notification anymore :(

    Q: OK, I found bug! What should I do???
    A: post it to issues list :) I'll be happy to fix it!

    Quick update on what I have now and what I have planned for this release:

    1. Multiple panels and triggers simultaneously. (done already)
    2. Unlimited amount of button on each button. (done)
    3. Unified code for swiping, touching and long pressing. Now the same object handles all finger actions on trigger and navbar, so theoretically it should positively affect memory consumption on older devices. (done!)
    4. better render of navbar elements, so buttons and glows keep correct metrics\size\proportion (done).
    5. Overall new configurator GUI and menu layout(working on now, this might take a while).
    6. Support for external themes, so authors will be able to craft apks with artworks(and probably animations). (not done yet, but reading and thinking already).
    7. Move to single-package release. So com.mrbimc.udn.lite will be the app itself, while pro package will be used only once to verify the key.
    8. Probably will try to add support for more things of LMT, but it's not super-priority for this update. (not even thought on it yet :silly:)

    Still no ETA though, but I'm getting close :p

    Thanks man. Working fine here. :good:
    @MrBIMC In case you've decided to update this app again, I suggest these on advance:

    1. Adding Custom Shortcuts
    2. Adding Arbitrary Keys
    3. Gradient Effects for Navigation Background

    Yes. I use LMT Pie, and I want them features on UDN also... :p

    Anyways, thanks for this awesome app! Hope it'll update soon... (I'm hoping, not asking for ETAs :p ) :good:

    :D :) ;) :good:

    1. As I noted above - maybe. Will try. but this update requires to do lot of things + i don't have much time lately. Will try to keep balance for release_date/features, so shortcuts might not be part of this update.
    2. what do you mean?
    3. Not now. But it's easy to make though, so it will come someday :)
    14
    recently I got back to development - ETA 3 days until alpha.

    Expect lot of broken stuff +new sthings(including full-featured theme engine)
