[MOD][APP]Skin + Modded Arc Launcher v1.1|Updated! [18.04.2011]|Working on[JS8][JVB]

Modified Arc Launcher for Galaxy S
Update as promised!
I had a load of trouble trying to get the ability to hide drawer app labels, but I finally managed just to break dragging and dropping apps onto the homescreen. So it that will not be a feature in this release. The abillity to turn on full screen was also added but is very beta because of the layout issue. All information can be found in change log and status!
The last couple of days I have been working on the Sony Xperia Arc Launcher, by decompiling it and creating new applications with the Android SDK and then looking at the smali code of both to try and integrate new features into, in my opinion, one of the best damn launchers out there. I enjoy dark themes for my Galaxy S because of the already very bright screen, so I have themed it to my liking (more info below).
Information about the launcher:
The Sony Xperia Arc Launcher is not entirely original but it has a lot of nice animations and innovative effects. For instance, the app drawer fly-in is no longer a fade but rather a nice slide-down bringing down the glass frames that hold each app page in a 4x4 table. Each pane slides left and right to reveal more installed apps as well as has an indicator on the top of the screen directing to which pane is visible. The launcher also has low memory consumption on about 10-18 mb of ram and has a tiny installation size (more info below). This gives it an ideal edge for light weight ROMs. Another perk with the launcher is its ability to sort after user’s preference, whether this is free sort, alphabetical, recently installed or most used.
*Feedback is much appreciated and suggestions to future releases will be met by gratitude.

Works great, just tried it out...
Love the animations and the widget overview. The glass app drawer also looks very sleek but the default arrangement is kinda weird, and i'm just not used to alphabetical order...
Thanks for the efforts man

The default sort order is free sort I believe, but I can easily change that if users prefer another one. Please report buggs and if you are having problems with settings not saving (Friend of mine had).

much appreciate your work - I loved the Arc launcher but didn't like the default look as much. Yours looks super cool! Gonna try it first thing when I get home!

You could add alphabetical sorting. Otherwise it's very nice.
Edit: Noticed that you can change the sort in app drawer.

Flippin awesome... Gave the modified one a try but had trouble with the 4th row clashing with the dock bar...
Love this arc launcher..
Thanks mate!
Future request. Remove text from homescreen icons

Thanks for the positive feedback, I will hopefully do quite a few changes in the next few days. I found that the most used sort order was the smartest way to view your apps. If I manage I will also add an option to disable homescreen app texts in the preferences screen.

Thanks for great mod launcher. But can you make it better as:
- remember current index in app drawler when show, hide it. Current, it always begin from 0.
- make shadow for icon in home screen as in the edit mode of app drawler. It look so cool.
Thanks again for cool launcher.

I have limited access to the code with no source code, but I will try and see if I can get that implemented too.

Will try it... Thanks!

is it can only run on sgs?

This MOD is very great for Galaxy S, Thank you very much!

Brilliant. Cheers
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Very nice thing with the Xperia Launcher is that you can create a homescreen folder by just tapping and dragging an app icon on the homescreen onto another icon.
Will try the launcher right now. First feature request: Can you re-add the other languages? Think there is not much sense in removing them. Thanks.

Any version with full languages?
Tnx

Nice one. There was a need for fresh feel to the launchers and this one is pretty good one.
One issue though, the sorting is lost once you restart the launcher. I prefer the alphabetical sorting but after restarting the launcher or exiting it through Task manager retorted back to Free sort.
Otherwise, it looks great!

Just ran the apk on JVK2.3.3 -- and it works beautifully... Pretty awesome. Thanks!!!
If only someone could port timescape as well

Great work, looks really professional and the folders stand out. Lovely

followed method 1 and didn't work out
can anyone help???

How about the samsung widgets? Does it needs resizing after pushing the launcher?

Is there any possibility to have a 4x5 drawer?

where is tw4 manager ?

i fin it thanks 4 this port

Calendar widget doesn't work. Nice job

Definitely making me lean towards going back to TouchWiz. How's the compatibility when you change DPI?

dock apps
good job.
I tryed to put it on my galaxy s II, but I don't undestand how to add icon apps in the dock space. If I try to move icon over the dock there is a trash icon. At the moment in the dock there is only the application icon.

Go to app drawer then press edit

Thanks man good job

works very well.
by cons but I have no preference options launcher is in notification?
is not something I have tw4manager how please.

Nice but ...
Hmm, it has potential, but far too many annoyances to make it usable. The biggest being that there is no way that I can see to be able to rearrange the icons in the dock, who the hell wants the app drawer launcher on the right? And, like Touchwiz, the dock and home-screen scroller dots take up way too much screen estate.
Meh, excited to start with, ultimately let down. Back to Launcher Pro Plus, which is what always happens when I try an alternative launcher. I should learn not to fiddle really

Other icons can be adjusted but yes, not being able to move app drawer icon is annoying. Will take a look myslef even though this isn't my work.

I think i saw an autohide option in the settings, will look later, look in preferances

I only have the app launcher in the dock, how can i add phone, contacts...?

It's kind of good. But it really seems like it's lacking. There needs to be more dock backgrounds, more options, more themes. Still, it is better than stock. It's just that it doesn't do much.
Hmm I've had a couple of force closes when using SMS. It says it is due to twlauncher. This is the first launcher related force close I've encounted.

i think the biggest letdown, imo, is that you have to reload widgets to get them all working again. means something is wrong in the coding where modified unfortunately.

Doesn't seem fully baked. I switched to 5 rows and went to populate the home screens and the first app I dropped in appeared to fall in between the screens. It did not show on any screen but I could see it as I used the slider to go between screens. Nothing I could do would let me get hold of it and delete it. Love the concept and its something I have been asking about so I hope some of the smart people run with this and get the issues worked out. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

Um if I didn't do a back up before flashing this zip, how can I get back to stock TWlauncher?
Is there anywhere I can get it? Because this launcher is buggy. My messaging is totally borked.

[APP] Lockscreen Policy - Disable Android 4.2+ Lockscreen Widgets, Camera

Published to Google Play, Here
(Attached v1.2.2, v1.2.3)
This gets rid of the lockscreen widgets and camera on the homescreen on Android 4.2 or higher.
If you have root, you can disable the bold-hour clock widget from the action bar menu, under 'Clock Hack'. (since 1.2)
The app is completely free. I don't foresee adding anything much to this app (I could add a couple of toggle widgets).
This is a lightweight app at 80KB.
There's a known issue under 4.2.2:
With the clock hack disabled, the clock widget toggles between the bold hour clock and the non-bold hour clock every other unlock. If your device is rooted, you can use the clock hack to get the device to consistently display the non-bold hour clock. Otherwise, there isn't anything I can do for you immediately. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I had no control over this.
Disable widgets and/or camera access on the lockscreen under Android 4.2.
Usage:
1) Run application
2) Make selections, and press activate
3) In the 'Activate device administrator' screen, choose 'Activate'
4) Verify settings, and press 'Apply'
5) To change settings, either press the 'Reset' button or hit the back key from the app to return to the setup screen
Uninstall:
To uninstall, uncheck the application from the 'Device Administrator' list under 'Security' in 'Settings'.
Privacy:
I do not collect any personal information with this completely free application.
No permissions other than device administrator required.

Thanks! The flashing widget placeholder on the lockscreen was annoying as hell.

This app succeeds where stock Android has failed. :good:

Thank goodness...
The lockscreen was seriously driving me nuts. I hated seeing that widget box every time I turned it on. Thank you for providing a way to turn it off. I just wish Google had made it optional in the first place.
Now, if you could just help me change that ugly, ugly clock font. :good:

It might be possible to change the default clock as more devs support lockscreen widgets, because I think it's just a widget there...

Looks good I am going to have to try this out.

Installing. The lockscreen changes haven't impressed me much.

works on Nexus 7

THANK YOU!
installing NOW.

I'll test it for you on Nexus S, send me the apk via PM or open it on Google Play.

Thanks for the report for the Nexus 7. I checked out some videos and realized that tablets don't have a camera swipe gesture on the lockscreen. Checking the 'camera' option doesn't really hurt anything though, at least as of the currently available Android API.
Functionally the app is not going to change much. The icon is hideous, but I know it's annoying to have to update for something minor like that, so that's not coming until there's a good idea for something that needs to be in the app.

It doesn't do anything for devices not running Android 4.2. If your device runs Android 4.2 already, you will see it in the Play Store.

Alright, when I flash back 4.2 I'll see if I can download from Play, thanks.

Hey, could you please share the APK?
I can't download it on Play Store because my Galaxy Nexus on 4.2 seems to be incompatible...

Allow Clock Replacement Widget?
Thanks for getting this app up so quickly!
I know you're probably not going to add much to it, but I have one request. Is it possible to make it work with clock replacement widgets like the "Fixed 4.2 Clock Widget" (can't link to it in the Play Store because I haven't posted 10 times yet).
That widget fixes the weird bolded-hour clock thing Google decided to do for 4.2, but I can't use it if I disable widgets with your app. If there was a way to disable the addition of new widgets (swiping to the left) but still allow a replacement widget on the primary lock screen, that would be perfect.

Would it be possible to disable Google Now? I'd really appreciate that ability. How did Google screw the lock screen so bad?!

Not sure how the clock widget can be changed.
Also noticed that if a music player has lockscreen widgets, they show up on a new page...
You can disable system apps in Android 4.2. If you disable Google Search in Applications, you lose the swipe up gesture from the soft buttons, but the lockscreen will still show a weird looking dot where Google Now is activated.

Was just thinking the exact same thing. You're right, if this could be done it would be absolutely perfect. :good:

Why oh why do we have to look at that awful clock font? If only there was a way to remove it completely. And why did they decide to have that place holder flash up on the left every single time I unlock? I know I can add a widget, there's no need to remind me every single time I unlock!

I don't think I see a good way of changing the default widget unless you replace the system clock app.

Theme for D851 20B Stock

Is there a Theme for the D851 Stock 20B without using the G3Tweakbox? I don't want to install Xposed otherwise I have to give up my quick circle case and I don't want to do that.

If you are talking about using different themes from the settings with the option that is normally hidden you do not need G3Tweakbox.

If you download the "launcherpro" app from the play store and copy its activities widget to your home screen it will give you a list of apps/functions of apps that you can add as a shortcut on your home screen. If you scroll down to "Home" one of the options is "Home" with the subtext "com.lge.launcher2.debug.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity" . Choose that option and you'll get a shortcut on your home screen that lets you access a menu with a variety of options. The one of interest for this thread is "Feature_Hide_Theme_Setting" on my G3 this was enabled, I turned it off I now I actually have access to themes in my home screen settings.
Once you unhide the menu you can actually get rid of launcher pro and themes will still be accesible. The theme menu is under Settings-Display-Home screen. You can also access the theme menu from the home screen by doing a long hold on the task switcher button and Theme will be an option on that popup menu along with system settings, lock screen settings, etc.
This only works if you still have KitKat, if you have Lollipop the Launcher Pro activity widget won't work(or at least it didn't for me). For lollipop I ended up finding an App called "activity launcher" and it did not list ""com.lge.launcher2.debug.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity" as an option but I was able to select another entry and use Activity Launcer's option to edit shortcuts before making them to manually enter "com.lge.launcher2.debug.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity" and got into the hidden menu with it.

Activity launcher app... Choose all activities, choose home then you'll get a drop down of activities within home. Long press the one that says home, select edit shortcut, under class erase what's there and type "com.lge.launcher2.debug.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity" then save. You now have a shortcut on the home screen to the hidden menu where you can turn on feature theme..
For some reason my post is saving com.lge.launcher2.debug.LGHomeHiddenMenuActiv ity with a space in activity. Remove the space..

Thanks for the explanation. I've done as you've explained and I get a toast notification "app not installed" (I'm on stock rooted 20b lollipop no xposed BTW). I'm assuming this means that either LG or T-Mobile removed the Theme app altogether in the Lollipop build. Has this worked for you on Lollipop to open the theme app or did I just read your post wrong?

Awesome, that got it working. Much thanks. This might help me fix my wife's G2... after I updated her to Lollipop via the LG support tool the theme she was using stuck and I haven't been able to fix it. We'll see I guess...

I decided to use a 3rd party launcher Apex with activities and an application called Turn Off to double tap and turn off the screen like the stock launcher. Using the 3rd party launcher I can use any icon pack.

I wish I can find something to change the icon on the status bar to AOSP.

I guess there is still no Theme for the T-Mobile Version Stock unless we use G3TweakBox with xposed which xposed has a lot of issues still.

I hope this is the correct place to announce the release of my first Tizen App : MultiTimer Pro!

The app is a timer app to compensate for the very limited stock timer app by Samsung. With MultiTimer Pro you can create mutliple timers and store them, or run them in parallel, as you like.
It is available at the Galaxy Store for 0.99$ and I would appreciate all feedback and feature suggestions!

Great app, i think its rare to see people making things for this eco-system.
one suggestion is the addition of widgets.
also maybe a way to add icons from google of something like that?

Yes but the OS is so great, there should really be more devs
Widgets is a good idea, I will take a look into that one! Custom icons is noted aswell but I am not sure if that is really usable on the tiny screen but let's see

Hi,
Nice app, I use timer all the time (and other app Timerro bug since update to Tizen 4)
I see some bugs on your app the "Previous page" (and also "Next page") open a windows like when you would add another timer in place of come back to previous (or next page). It is a window like if we want edit a timer with name "Previous" with blank field for color and time and a button "Delete"
EDIT : after trying to return to the previous or next page my timers order are lost and the app arrange timers on a Ramdom ? way...

Hey,
Thanks for your feedback! I can reproduce the issue.
I will fix it ASAP, but unfortunately releasing updates currently takes over a week because Samsung has such a slow approval proces... Sorry for the inconvenience!

Fix is submitted, also now with default Timer names.
Let's hope it goes through fast...
Widgets up next

Dark Mode
Still waiting for the first update to be approved...
In meantime, I implemented a Dark Mode as a lot of users complained about the bright colors and the low contrast

Dark mode looks great. Which version number will that be, currently I see 1.1.4? Any idea when this will become available?

I've been waiting for over a week for the last update to be approved and you cannot submit a new one while the previous one is under review... But it finally got approved today, and the dark mode version was finished last week but I couldn't submit it until now. It will be version 1.2 and I hope this one will get approved faster but it's out of my hands... Maybe a week?

It took over a week, and now they found a super weird reason to reject the app update.
(Clicking the button on the top right doesn't close the app because it is used for start/stop of the timer, and thus there is no way to close the app directly. I now added a button to the UI to close it... let's see).
So "bug" fixed and resubmitted... fingers crossed it won't take another week....

It is one reason I not like use Tizen Watch. Mainly for timer or stopwatch, just a button to close an app and stop timer or stopwatch (and lost it).....

Do you like being able to use the hardware button to start/stop the timer or would you prefer it closing the app ?

I prefer "Start/Stop" But surely not really close the app, limit send app to foreground but not close. I have a "Stopwatch pro" app, il I press the upper button the stopwatch close and end the count, not acceptable.

Good I think it is usefull aswell. I kept it inside MultiTimer Pro so you can start and stop the timers with the button.
I think it is stupid to have 2 Hardware buttons and both are used for minimizing/closing an app.

Dark Mode
Finally......the dark mode is available!

Updated today from the first version and not worked. Press the app icon do nothing.
Uninstalled and installed again and it works.
Found a bug. I create few timers on 2 pages. I start timers (2 timers) on first page, after I go on the second page, I start other timer and if I want return to the first page with click to the "previous page" Icon, the app stop/crash and all running timers are stopped.

Hello,
this is a known bug, aswell as an issue with deleting timers when you have more than one page.
However, these are already fixed in version 1.5.0 which is already submitted and currently under review by Samsung.
It should be available by the end of the week!

In the coming days a new version will be available that adopts the new OneUI !
Here are some screenshots, I hope you like the new design ( the old ones are still available through the settings )
Also a couple of new icons were added and more are to come!

I'm using the S3 with AOD mode (One UI V1.0). At count end, the app vibe but the screen keep in sleep mode (AOD) and you can not see the Timer end Just feel the vibe (or not....) but do not know why until you unsleep the watch to see the Timer end screen

Hello,
I normally don't use the AOD so I did not realize there was a problem, thank you for reporting I will try to reproduce it and fix it!
