So a lot of you probably aren't going to like this.
After RedDragon essentially abandoned us with the second screen on AOSP, I got discouraged from working on this project further. You've probably noticed that it hasn't been updated in months, I haven't been responding to posts, and I've added a note to the Play Store description that the app has been discontinued.
I'm still not entirely sure how much work I want to put into this, but I've found new inspiration in using Kotlin, and I've decided to make a successor to this app, coded in Kotlin and hopefully less buggy. I have been reading all the beta feedback I've gotten on the Play Store, and I'm going to go through it again, but I will try to work in what was requested there.
The current plan is to have the information, weather and image screens be present. I don't plan on adding the contacts or app shortcuts screens, as LG already has implementations for both. I'm working on the information screen first, and once I feel that it's ready, I'll release as a beta here on XDA
Please give feedback. I'll read what you guys have to say and work it in. Then I'll work on the next widget, etc.
Now here's the part you may not like. As much as I want to promote the world of free apps, I think I'm going to ultimately make this new one paid. I'll set the price as low as possible (I think it's $0.99), but I feel the need to do this for two reasons. One, while I find this programming thing to be enjoyable, it can't be a hobby forever. Two, I need some sort of filter from the trolls and people who can't be bothered to read before leaving a 1 star review asking a question that's already been resolved, only to not respond to my reply.
The app WILL be free while it's in beta.
Now, I'm still going to make the app open source, so if you know how, you can always build it yourself and get it for free. I ask you, though, to not share any builds you make, and if I'm legally able, I will take action.
I'm going to keep this version of the app available on the Play Store, but I'll likely close this thread and add a link to the OP directing users to the discussion thread for the new app.
I'm also not completely sold (heh) on selling the new version, so if someone has a convincing argument for providing it freely, or for continuing my current plan, let me hear it! Also remember, I am a mod, so let's keep things civil
Whew, this turned out longer than I was expecting...
****, I thought you were going to abandon us. You're good lol. .99 Is perfectly fine with me especially if you dev it for AOSP too.
