Liking the app, making switching apps much faster and easier. One question - is the option for more than 6 apps in the list a paid option? I cannot add more than 6 apps and the information about the app says nothing about more apps being added if pro key is purchased.

EDIT: Also can't seem to change the original picked apps for the sidebar. Can remove the original apps from the list, but cannot add new ones in their place.

App suggestion

I already sent you an email before visiting the xda thread... kinda stupid I know.

It would be great for us to be able to drop apps/shortcuts/widgets etc already created into a folder.
Right now you must first create the folder and then add everything in it.

Thank you

Hello, so there's been a slight problem that is probably not even a real problem, I hope you could help me. So, when I am changing icons from icon packs i have downloaded before, i do not see all the icons that are actually available in this exact icon pack.. If i am changing icons from my home screen Moonshine icon pack in particular has many more icons available, but when I change icons in Glovebox some of them are gone...

Some shortcuts are missing in the app, e.g. Translate / SoundHound ID Now
However, they can be found in Nova Launcher.

Not a fatal bug, just a bit irritating. Hope you can fix it soon :D

Hi !
Will there be a root option maybe in next version, which bypasses Android's 5 seconds delay of starting an Action after pressing Home button? Since I love this app, but it gets really annoying, If I have to wait 5 seconds to start an App via Glovebox after pressing Home ..

Thanks

Great App

Hi Dev,
It is a great app that I use. Was wondering is there any option to add shortcut to a file - say an Excel file or word file...
It will be really a big help for a lot of people :) if it is not already there.

I'm using and Android device in Landscape mode and I want to always have some shortcuts on the left of my screen.
Is it possible to fix/pin this sidebar ?

:)

Not sure if its a problem with glove box or lux autobrightness but whenever I trigger the glovebox sidebar my screen goes up to full brightness like its ignoring my lux auto brightness app and once the sidebar goes off the screen the brightness returns to normal

I'd use/purchase Glovebox if this was fixed. It ignores/interferes with Velis Auto Brightness app. (Note 4)

Any way to change the actual icon you drag from the side? It's a half circle now and would be nice to have a thin line like the line for edge contacts.

So far I'm liking the app very much, was looking for something similar to AOKP's ribbons and this fills in the perfect slot. Since I recently setup CM 12.1 on my Note 3 the other day. Will definitely look into buying the full version once I get more play credits.

Icon margin/padding toggle?

Just got my S6 Edge this weekend and I've been searching and trying Glovebox and similar apps so I can get more functionality out of the edge. Out of all the ones I've tried, this is the one I like the most. The only thing i wish it had was a toggle for the margins so the apps can sit on the actual edge. Other similar apps I've tried have that toggle, just not this one, but i like everything else from Glovebox over the rest. Am I just not seeing where I can mess with the margins or does this app not support this? This is the only reason that's kept me from choosing this app over the rest.

Bought pro and use it with all my devices. Still the best sidebar on the market. Thank you very much for this app!

    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.

    Thank you for who installed the test version.
    I uploaded a new update to the Play Store (2.0.8).
    Screen freezing should be fixed now. Has some other fixes and improvements.
    No icons pack yet :eek:, maybe on the next update.

    - Fixed shortcuts icons - shortcut contacts photo;
    - Recent apps action*;

    *How recent apps action works:
    Without lifting the finger, swipe to the outside of the bar selecting recent apps and wait a sec.
    It will open recent apps menu. To close swipe the finger back to above the bar. Hope i made it clear...
