[App] Smart Taskbar V1.0 - Access any app in one click

Just wanted to thank you for a very nice program.
Very Stable on Stock Droid 1 Froyo 22D.

Sometimes after reboot some icons washed out, I have to refresh.
Phone icon not showing properly (blank android icon).

Would like to see Phone and Browser Icon in topbar.

Blind Sweetspot launch option (no graphic) would be less distracting.

Can you add brightness & GPS on-off to settings/toolbar?

The Labels/Apps bar could be squeezed slightly to fit 5 icons on screen.
(I don't really need the task slider since the entire bar slides easily anytime).

Some minor bleeding of the home wallpaper bleeding through extreme edges.

---

Thanks again!
Keep up the hard work!

Looking forward to your next update!

GPS switch requires a hack and it is not 100% compatible to all phones. For stability reason, I have to leave it. However, I will add vloumne/vibration/brightness.. etc next time.

For the bleeding through the edge, I actually did it intentionally. I thought it was cool to look like that. haha. Anyway, you are not alone. Someone already told me to change it.

Thanks for the prompt response, but I don't understand your answer.

To what built-in Google app are you referring? How do I use it to address the problem of Smart Taskbar appearing to be continuously downloading?

Alternatively, how would I try your other suggested solutions?

Well, I think you just need to turn on/off your apn or maybe try with wifi connection. Normally that solves the problem to me.

Great app works well on my samsung galaxy s. One suggestion though.

Could you make an option to make the default home screen less distracting. Maybe just tabs on top that shows the labels (task, games, tools, etc)

Ha! Thanks. Come to think of it it's pretty cool to see my live nexus
wallpaper on the extreme edges! But your last update cleaned most
of it up on my Droid 1 ..

Right now I'm using "full circle trigger icon, wide trigger area" and
getting used to it with fat fingers (?) , works pretty well..

Only thing is I have to refresh app every time I reboot, to refresh many of the icons.

I (think) I've tried both suggestions without result.

I used the APN on/off widget. Regarding wi-fi, my phone - a Samsung Vibrant - automatically switches to my home network.

Let me re-state the problem. Currently, I have Smart Taskbar 0.4.5 installed on my Vibrant. Nevertheless, the notification pull-down continuously shows "Smart Taskbar (sidebar)" as downloading. Pressing the notification eliminates it, but only temporarily. This condition persists whether Smart Taskbar is installed, as it is now, or uninstalled.

I agree, lose the top bar and utilize the menu button.

Quick launch bar could be six icons on my Droid 1
Would like an option to hide quick launch bar.

Apps label Bar should snap to 5 icon grid.
I use as: All Apps, Tools, Games, Nav, Progs

Every morning after reboot I have to refresh icons and realign
the 5 task bar icons.

Love the app though, JMHO, keep up the hard work.
Very fast and stable.

Thx !!

I support all these suggestions, especially the first one. The top bar seems to just take up alot of space with the only common use being the new toggle fly-out.

Would love an option for the quick-launch bar to be moved to the bottom.

In addition to making use of the menu button, I'd also like to request that the app respect the home button. It's natural for the user to hit the Home button while in an app to return Home, but it doesn't seem to work in Smart Taskbar (hitting the Back button does work however).

Please continue the wonderful work!

the best and greatest app i ever met.
I just have one proposal:
If it integrates with some task kill function, it will be awfully perfect!

jerryfan2000 · Sep 11, 2010

Thanks guy. I will add option for enabling/disabling top bar, label bar, and quick launch spot. Sounds like a good idea to do.

Paul22000 · Sep 11, 2010

Absolutely love this app.

And the Black/Grey quick launch spot of the last update was a great idea. Any chance you could add another option for an even lighter one? (ie Quick launch spot almost not visible at all)

jbdavies · Sep 11, 2010

I've been using the app for a few days now... and absolutley love it. It's simple, it's quick, and it gets the job done.

I was using Power Strip, or whatever it's called, and I like that also... but it was just too slow for my liking.

Good job on this.

One thing I do not like... is that whenever I add an app to one of the lists, it doesn't update automatically. I have to hit refresh every time. It should automatically refresh as soon as you add the app, so that it's there already when you open up the Taskbar.

Hello,
It should auto update newly installed app on the fly. Are you using 2.2 App2sd for newly installed app? I have tested on all sdk except 2.2. So not sure is it related to 2.2.

Sorry... let me try and discribe the problem a little better.

Whenever I make a label/list (I have 'Most Used' right now), and then add an app to it (the last one I added was Tonido), whenever I open up the Taskbar again, the app is not updated in the label/list automatically. I have to click the refresh button for it to show up.

I am running 2.2 and do also have App2SD, but the apps that I have in the list aren't on my SD card.

Does that make more sense? haha.

Sorry for misunderstanding. But did u mean you have to refresh everytime in order to see Tonido or only for the first time you just added the app to a particular label? If your case is latter, you don't really need to refresh. You just need to switch the active label to something else then go back to the desired one. It is a design flaw and I am still looking for a more efficient way to solve it.
