GUI OPTION - choice to open as default from app opening

Kudos, what a great app and I love the interface from floating icon...

I would really like to see an option to open the pie interface direct from app press

I just don't like having the floating icon on screen after closing

Plus would like to set a gesture on NOVA LAUNCHER to have that gui appear, would be perfect

great job and thanks again

New Version, will create a shortcut to open the pie interface, you can update from google play. Your suggestion about the gesture is very good, we will try to do that.
Thank you very much.

Amazing! Can't believe this hasn't gotten a lot more attention.

A suggestion - perhaps you could see if it's possible to directly launch apps that you want?
like how the T9 app dialer works, but the app dialer can be launched directly from the floating window..

and of course, the ability for this to stay on top of all apps

Your suggesions very good, we will try to do these.
Thanks very much.

I usually don't comment but this app has SO MUCH potential.

1. Change the percent of floating icon that is displayed. For instance it will auto-hide 50% of the icon to the left of screen. (Kinda like in floating notification app).

2. Ability to change the opacity of floating icon.

3. Ability to change the look of floating icon. (Few different and nice looking floating icon choices).

4. Ability to change floating icon size.

5. Besides the current 4 tabs (Install, Download, Photos and Apps) there should be a new tab called "Favorite" where you can set preset apps, pictures, folder location, website links (like reddit.com) etc.

6. Download just simply doesn't show things located in "Storage/sdcard0/Downloads" folder but it shows ALL things I've downloaded. (For instanc myATT app's download location, Xposed installer's download location:- for apps that save downloads in their own cache folder rather than the actual Download folder).

7. Blackslist and Whitelist. (For instance I don't certain apps from showing up in recent apps list like Google play services and I also don't want certain pictures / files in download folder showing up too).

8. Recent notification tab. (Sometimes I by mistake clear notification from notification panel. So it would be nice to see last 5 or 10 notifications)

@uuOuu what you think? Maybe make some of those features premium or in app purchase :)

Dear Walter.White, your suggestions are really good idea, we discussed this list, and some features about floating icon are on our schedule, other items are on our requirement list.

I am a member of the development team.

On my tablet (Nexus 7), it works very well, you can try.


Curious. On my Note 10.1 running stock rooted odexed JB 4.1 it works very well in portrait mode, but in landscape mode the pie looses the top and bottom of the outter circle and when the main screen is opened, only the top two boxes of the square are fully visible. The bottom two are cut off. Looks like a scaling problem I guess.

I haven't been able to get screen shots as, when I touch the screen to trigger the shot, the pie closes. :confused:

Does anybody else than me experience battery drain with this app? It takes about 10 % of my battery so I've deleted it again to make sure if this is the key to my problem.

So sorry.
When we test did not appear such circumstance. A typical case, you might think.
We will try to improve it.

Just tested your latest version. I like the quick open icon , but maybe it's an idea if you combine the two icons, quick icon and recent icon. I mean the icon opens the pie and long pressing the inner circle opens the folder view, so no need to switch to icon in app drawer to open viewer or other way around. Also is it possible to include the DCIM folder for pictures. Great work, thanks

Hi, ineedone
Your suggestion is very good, but long press operation is not easy to know, not obvious. Maybe we need do some guidance to prompt the user. Have any advice? About the dcim folder for pictures, we will include it.

Thanks!

Hi Walter.White
You can tell me the more apps need include in 'Recent Download', you and you friends frequently used. About these apps, please tell me the links on google play. We will include these cache folder, if we find their own cache folder.

Unfortunately I'm still having huge battery drain with this great app installed.

Without the app and with my phone laying unused on the table the battery normally lose 1-3% per hour. With this app installed it's 8-12% per hour. I've tried two times to install the app and delete it again so I'm pretty sure the battery drain is related to this app.

Is anybody else experiencing this or is it a problem relating to my phone, my ROM, my other apps or something else specific on my phone!?!?

Think a simple tutorial in one of the initial screens could do the job..
