That is a great app, i already bought the premium version :victory:
But i'm facing a few bugs ¬¬ The most annoying are: When I try to open an widget and the app FC on my galaxy ace running 2.3, on the Galaxy Nexus this bug don't exists. The other one is sometimes the touch stops to work in the oposite side of the bar. And i don't know why, but i can't play Cytus with this app running, because sometimes the touch stops to respond in the game.
But this app has a great future, keep going, because i love it

Would it be possible to add an option to alter the vertical spacing between icons? Not all icons are the same size and some of the larger icons almost touch up against some other larger icons.

To the dev: my eternal gratitude for making such a fine, smooth and stable app!

Super handy and awesome to show off with!

To users looking for extra awesome: try using LMT launcher together with this!

You'll be amazed how ofter you use the combination of both and how others will be amazed too :)

Re: [APP][1.6+] Glovebox

Well done dev! This app is just great... Would it be possible to have a "keyboard listening" option like the lmt nav has so it doesn't interfere when typing?... Q's and A's are a bummer to hit sometimes... Lol. But no complaints with the app really...

Less of a young professional, more of an ancient amateur...

Awesome app but I have got the following problems.
*Screen becomes unresponsive, but can use hardware buttons but navigation is still responsive.

The same thing was happening to me after it was running for a bit (maybe an hour) turning glovebox off fixed it instantly. turning it back on locked everything up again. I could repeat it and get the same results each time.

Re: [APP][1.6+] Glovebox

Unfortunately, I'm getting a screen glitch.
It's a bar on the far right side of the screen and that specific space doesn't respond.

i have this problem too :( would buy the premium if this is fixed.

yeah, same problem. I thought my phone had completely frozen. Notification shade worked though, and I got into Glovebox and turned it off, which fixed it. Really too bad because it was an awesome way to navigate! If it's fixed I'd buy the premium!

(I also found it better to move it to the right side, since a lot of back buttons are on the left)

Re: [APP][1.6+] Glovebox

You can also try unity launcher, it provides more customizations options, doesn't have this screen bug, but isn't as visually appealing as glovebox, no swipe off gesture (instead you can adjust time out)

I like this launcher a lot. Unfortunately, I've got the same screen glitch as reported by @Chris95X8. It usually appear after a few mis-swipe due to my thumb touching the far left edge of the screen accidentally.

In the notification centre, the Glovebox item says "Press to restart;". However, there's no feedback on whether the "restart" has taken place or not.

Also, not a big fan of the Glovebox slide transition effect, it seems to lag more than the stock Jelly Bean app switching / launching animation.

Something that I noticed that has changed in the last few updates is if I activate glovebox and I then desided not to choose any apps on the list and stay in the current screen I am in I would just slide all the way to the left or the right and glovebox would not activate anything. This was handy, but now if I activate glovebox and then change my mind I don't have an option anymore. How do I turn off glovebox while I am in it and stay on the same page?

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry for the time is taking to the update, it's a big one, i hope with most of the bugs fixed but with new features too, like recent apps.
    Here's a screenshot of how it looks like:

    Screenshot_2013-03-19-18-52-59.jpg

    It will have the same principle of lift the finger to select. Any feedback is appreciated.
    Thanks.
