SwipePad - edge launcher! - Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps

Just a quick shout-out for this app. I was looking for something to replace the usefulness of the Note Edge application shortcuts, and came across SwipePad. It's pretty darn good for swiping in from an edge on the S6 Edge and launching apps from anywhere. I guess this would work on any phone, but feels so natural swiping over the curve to get this. Loving it!

Thanks bud

It's the very bottom option under "look and feel" when you select the notification. If you turn off the notification completely, swipe pad will fall out of memory and you'll have to manually start it sometimes. I just choose hide. Never leaves memory and i don't have the ugly icon

Thanks, nice!

i love this one. i put all my frequent contacts in it. marvelous

Hello
I use this app since Years and bought some addons. I couldn't imagine to live without. Now, this app disappeared from the store. Is it end of life? My app is running fine. I just wonder what is the reason for.

Hello XtraWater,
I have used this app since my SGS2. Sadly, I wiped my phone and as you said, Swipepad cannot be found in the play store anymore. I downloaded an APK from a third party site, which works (I'm rooted). But I am unsure how to get the addons to work after installing them from the third party site :-/
I purchased the morespaces add-on previously and that is not in Google Play anymore as well.

Hello
Swipepad started to behave weird. It needed an update... So I gave up. I guess I still have the backup from the more space add-on. I made the backup with titanium backup.
However, in the meanwhile I switched to xposed edge. The app is nice. Plenty of features. The responsiveness although is not perfect. There is sometimes a delay of a second or two. I don't know if there is a way to prioritize the app. I am on Resurrection remix.

Thanks, I'll try out edge since I have Xposed as well. I was looking for Swipepad alternatives today actually, but the results are all dated since this app is so old.
In the meantime, I'm attempting to make the Swipepad add-ons system apps based on a suggestion from this thread. My TI backup was wiped along with the rest of my phone. I may have a copy on my desktop when I get home. If not, can you send me a TI copy of yours?

Sure, let me know when you need the backup.
That edge app is actually very easy to use. Nevertheless, it took a while till I figured it out. At the beginning it's a bit counterintuitive.

Facebook integration isn't baked into ICS. Did you try Twitter?
I think i figured it out. Its not quite 100% stable, but it does work well overall. The crashing that people are seeing when they can do NOTHING without a crash happens when you use any other wake-up command OTHER then the default "Hi Galaxy". If you don't change the wake-up command it works fine.
When i was changing the command it would crash before i could do anything. Tried it 3 times. Uninstalled and re-installed. Then i didn't change the command and it worked. Once i KNEW it worked, i changed the command as a test and it crashed again.
Can someone else who is getting constant crashes confirm this?
That was my conclusion as well with this app.
I'll see about testing again, but I left the wake up command the way it was (Hi Galaxy)... Mine would allow me to do a command but once complete it would then crash...
Are you leaving other version of Vlingo on your phone or removing?

Who wants to try and get the S-Voice apk working?

The S-Voice apk was just posted in the S3 area http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26293573&posted=1#post26293573
I've installed it on my GNEX and it installed fine, made it through the tutorial as well, but it crashed when I tried to change the wake up phrase. Anyone care to give it a shot at making it work? I was going to start with something simple like editing build.prop but I can't seem to find any info on what the S3 is listed as.
It's now working perfectly!! Nex7er in the Note forum discovered if you install the app from system/app it works perfectly and I can confirm it runs perfect on the nexus!!!

I installed on latest CM9 nightly, no issues here. I installed it normally without being in system folder.
Edit:
Seems too clunky and pointless/useless. I can do all those commands by tapping the screen manually and I'll know they are correct rather than relying on a sketchy voice to text algorithm.

To each his own I guess. As a guy with only one arm I can state for me, it is MUCH easier and faster to say "new dental appointment, June 5th at 9am and then confirm with yes then it is to:
open apps, select calendar, click the month view tab, flip to June, click on the 5th, select "new" on the 9am tab and then type out dental, etc...
Running bamf/jamesbond and get a force close on it
Cleared data on it and reloaded... Skipped trying to set a new wakeup and it will go through to asking me "which app do you want to open "
Unfortunately no matter what I say she comes back with that same line.
Of course, restarted again and didn't bother to wake her up... And now commands work.
Tried and seems to work pretty good

Probably it's searching for SGS3 alarm app
Can confirm that adding appointments and checking weather work though.
Timer will work as far as countdown, but doesn't seem to hook into any vibrate/ring function to notify you when it finishes.
It took me a few tries, and I only got it to install by skipping the setup part of it. The apk claimed I already had s voice installed. And, when I went to remove it, because it crashed despite installing it from system/app, it only gave me the option to remove updates. I'm running stock ROM and kernel. Unfortunately, I don't see how to get to settings for it, so I'm stuck calling it "Hi Galaxy!"
Here is a copy of the APK if anyone wants it
Been using it for quite some time, actually. It's been called into Axiom roms for awhile now.

If the alarm worked - it'd be fastest to set alarm that way.
Also, the timer would be nice if it actually did something when the countdown finished.
Little things like that I could see it handy for... plus for answers you'd look up on google, could be quicker to answer at times.
Installed it like any other apk. I am stock and not rooted. And it has worked tip top since the start

After some digging I found that with the Galaxy Nexus at 4.0.4 is having issues because its based off of 4.0.3 Workaround is to install the app under system/apps instead of regular installer. I used root explorer and had R/W enabled placed the file and opened/installed from their.

Full Screen Mode

I know LMT launcher is available for this but i just saw this video i looks good any tired it or care to try it. I wont have my phone till next week. Link to the video and the app store where you can get the app. Video is in a different language but no need to understand.

*Here is the link to download the full screen toggle app so you dont have to modify the build prop

Then with root explorer Add "qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1" (without the quotes) at the end of the build.prop in /system and reboot (credit to anirudh412 for this).

I would not recommend this app. I tried it. It worked but after reboot my phone I ended up in boot loop. It mess up with the build.prop. So if you don't have recovery it will be pain to restore phone to previous state.
This app worked well for me. Just the placement of the on screen keys would sometimes get I am the way of the software keyboards lower left and lower right most keys. But overall pretty good.

Did you modify did build prop to remove the soft keys before u installed the app? You dont need to modify the build prop for this that maybe the reason you had that boot loop.

well the thing is that with the original post that i put you dont need to do any build prop mods its just installing the apps, but if you want to do the LMT launcher with removing the soft keys its been posted on other threads but ill repost it. Also i dont if a moderator can move this to the app section i posted in wrong place.
Here's what I did:
1. Root the phone with my bootloader still locked.
2. I installed the LMT Launcher app and configured the PIE controls
3. When the PIE controls are all set, I installed the app "Fullscreen Toggle"
4. Fullscreen Toggle gets rid of the softkeys but keeps the status bar on top, which I think is good.
5. I also prefer using Browser vs. Chrome, so Installed Browser apk using the instructions in the other thread for that.
Now, when I browse, I have the full screen, when I exit the browser, I no longer have wasted space by the softkeys taking up space.
I have to say, I love LMT Pie control, its fast and intuitive and its even more convenient to use the phone one handed with it. This made all the difference with this phone.
This is exactly what im doing didnt have a chance to do it yesterday, one question you got stock browser to work cuz it seemed like nobody had it working. Did you follow the instructions from the link I provided.

Awesome app thanks. Have brought the theme unlock. Very nicely done.
Cool app that worked well for me but IMO it's kind of overkill if you already have your screen lock set to thumb scan. This could be handy if you don't use the thumb unlock for security and just set this up for individual apps.
Used this on my s5 it's useful for individual apps

Question Phone reset...should I?

Helloe
Since I bought the phone, the reminder subfunction of the Google calendar app doesn't work. I get reminded of events but not of reminders that I add. Other users jave reported it as well, but we haven't found a solution.
OnePlus support recommended this
"Please try reset options this will not erase data. If you only want to clear app data and restore your device to factory settings without losing the data stored in the internal storage, choose the Reset all settings option in the Reset phone menu instead of the Erase all data option."
With a perfectly working daily driver phone that's rooted and otherwise working fine, should I follow their suggestion?
Does root get wiped? Will I have to reinstall my apps?
Thanks
Try clearing just that apps data. Maybe use another calendar app if that doesn't work.
Google apps are a pain. Constant firmware and software upgrades/updates just mean more of your time spent trying to learn and troubleshoot them. Gookill is a mess.

If you can uninstall then reinstall it try that. Check it's permissions and if it's able to run in the background. A Google search may give you more solutions; doesn't have to be that model or even brand as the same issues tend to happen on many different Androids.
If that's the only problem I would find another app to replace it. Not worth screwing up a good load over one insignificant app.
I use as little Google apps as possible. I use the native Samsung calendar instead. I use Gmail and Gmaps but Gmaps is a mess.

I tried to uninstall it but I was unable to. I couldn't even use titanium back to remove it for some reason. I should be able to remove it that way, right.
You have a valid point about not reseting over 1 app. Thanks
Blackhawks fan? Or you like the helicopter?

Indian warrior actually.
"It has pleased the Great Spirit that I am here today— I have eaten with my white friends. The earth is our mother— we are now on it, with the Great spirit above us; it is good. I hope we are all friends here. A few winters ago I was fighting against you. I did wrong, perhaps, but that is past—it is buried—let it be forgotten.
Rock River was a beautiful country. I liked my towns, my cornfields and the home of my people. I fought for it. It is now yours. Keep it as we did— it will produce you good crops.
I thank the Great Spirit that I am now friendly with my white brethren. We are here together, we have eaten together; we are friends; it is his wish and mine. I thank you for your friendship.
I was once a great warrior; I am now poor. Keokuk has been the cause of my present situation; but I do not attach blame to him. I am now old. I have looked upon the Mississippi since I have been a child. I love the great river. I have dwelt upon its banks from the time I was an infant. I look upon it now. I shake hands with you, and as it is my wish, I hope you are my friends.

This is what I get when I try to uninstall it using titanium backup.
That's interesting as it's not even present on my Samsung. With root permissions I would think you could uninstall it. However it may have dependencies.
Again I would bypass it by using another calendar app to replace it.
