Feel free to use this thread for telling me recommendations of programs you all use often. so i can make more icons.
New transparent icons! Enjoy!!
Thanks for all the requests, i still got plenty more left to do.. dont worry, im listening!

new release 03, enjoy!

*thumbs up*

Amazing job (as always).
Congrats and tks 4 sharing.

very good job, nice for my upcoming Iphone cube thank you for sharing.

These look wonderful. Great to have a consistent button style that you can use for WAD and other apps.
I love the Nintendo one. If it all possible can you please consider making one for the other emulators out there such as GameBoy Advanced, PlayStation, Genesis, NeoGeo. I've scoured all the threads in Lakeridge and other forums for a nice icon for those and have came up pretty fruitless.
Thanks in advance from all us gamers =)

virtual button vibration
Fantastic! Torx, thanks for your work. My Today screen looks great!..one question though..I read someplace that you had vibrating working when your virtual soft buttons are pressed?? I couldn't figure out how you did that..any hints.? I wrote a little mortscript that acts as a pass through vibrating the device after the button has been pushed and then calling the desired program....

thanks, sure i can come up with more emulator styles icons in reference to that nes pad.. gotta keep em all on the same style and level or else they'll look like crap together..
speechman, lol.. naw i dont have any vibrate actions working, ive always referred to the minimizing of the buttons when pressed as being "tactile" to let you know it was pressed.
but thats pretty awesome you created a mortscript to allow that, you should post it up somewhere

Torx, it took a couple of hours, but I figured out how to make a complete button passthrough for WAD - able to add vibration, sound, anything when you push a WAD shortcut - without having to write a specific mortscript for every button. There is just one mortscript that takes an argument from the WAD button call. The argument gets passed into the mortscript run command. The mortscript is this vibraterun.mscr stored on my microsd card:
vibrate(40)
#the following removes white space on the end that the run command doesn't like
app = substr(app,1,length(app))
run(app)
The call syntax in WAD is as follows to call calendar app with vibration:
"\Program Filies\Mortscript\Mortscript.exe" "\Storage Card\Mortscripts\vibraterun.mscr" app=\Windows\calendar.lnk"
Yes, that is a single double quote on the end...took hours to figure that one out..reading many boards
You also must put in the explicit mortscript.exe first.
My other idea:Simple animation using mortscript and WAD for WAD buttons.
Since my script can add any Mortscript functionality to any WAD shortcut without writing many scripts, we can make a common animation for shortcuts (e.g. iphone) by making several virtual pages in WAD and then showing them one by one consecutively.
I have this working..it does the iphone blowout using 4 virtual pages (with the buttons shifted up and down a little for each virtual page)
Here is the mortscript animaterun.mscr:
vibrate(40)
run("\Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance DesktopApp.exe","--page=Blowout0")
run("\Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance DesktopApp.exe","--page=Blowout1")
run("\Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance DesktopApp.exe","--page=Blowout2")
run("\Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance DesktopApp.exe","--page=Blowout3")
app = substr(app,1,length(app))
run(app)
Here is the syntax for putting into a WAD shortcut:
"\Program Filies\Mortscript\Mortscript.exe" "\Storage Card\Mortscripts\animaterun.mscr" app="\Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe""
There you go...it works pretty well! One slight limitation is that you have to make sure that no today plug in is updating while you push one of the buttons
or else wisbar advance just comes up with a black screen. For instance I am using today agenda. Once in a while today agenda goes through an update script that shows percent done instead of the static appointments. If you press a shortcut during this time, WAD will give you a black screen (all buttons are gone). You just need to reset WAD if this happens

oh that killer torx. thanks!

Thanks, The icons are perfect, I like them very much

Jesus, i have no words, ABSOLUTELY amazing. Thank you VERY much for sharing these.

Very nice set of icons.
I could use a bluetooth icon, if you're accepting suggestions.

nice work looks good

great work, just what the doctor ordered!
keep it up

If you have the time and energy, I would like to request the following icons:
Active sync
total commander/or explorer type icon
thanks,
Patrick

wow...............it`s eye candy
can i use them for iLuncher, if it`s not can you do it
thanks a lot

large icons
Hey there...
Great job! And many thx for doing it...
Would you mind releasing a Hi-Res set of those icons ?
Like 128 px icons ?
Would really appreciate.
Keep up with the good job

great work. If you are doing any future release how about an icon for file explorer, like a folder with a magnifying glass like the one that they use on Grumps iPhone app.
also, icon with a usb trident symbol would be great for USBModem.
I don't see one for registry editor, but i think i can use LightsOut, unless you have a better suggestion?

I love these! Amazing!!
Torx I was wondering if you could pm me and help me out with something if you have some free time..thanks

Removing soft menu buttons in WM5?

Anyone knows how to remove the bottom soft menu buttons (messages/calendar bar) at the bottom?
:roll:
Greetz
DvL
Are you talking about the soft menu buttons (the menu bar right at the bottom of the screen?).
V
..
aha that is what it called? :shock:
yes i mean the soft menu thingy ;o) it is covering some of my fine vga theme art LOL
:twisted:
hmmm
Anyone?
Have you tried WisBar Advanced with WisBar Desktop???
It is a great set of programs that gives you the ability to hide the soft buttons
www.lakeridgesoftware.com
ehh
YEAH YOU ARE RIGHT LOL
but that slows down the Universal sooo much, i actually got my idea from WAD (wisbar advanced desktop).
I would like just a hack or so! then it would show my theme perfectly in landscape mode too..
Love the speed of my Universal now! only got pocketbreeze 5 installed! perfect.
So? any code hackers here? or .cab makers (soft menu buttons off and soft menu buttons on cab)??
dvl, this is discussed elsewhere on the forum. I believe that Wisbar desktop advance allows you to hide the soft buttons in Wisbar, but these menus bars are made per application.
I've made an app to hide the bars on the Today screen but it only works on WM2003 yet, NOT wm5. In fact I believe that it does hide the bars in WM5, but it doesn't allow you to use the space (yet). This is how it looks on WM2003se:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
This is NOT wm5 yet, but as soon as I get a new copy of visual studio 2005 I'll fix it. It WILL work, just have to wait a while :wink:
If you want to generally hide the bars, I've made a program to do it, but you have to replace the bars with something: you'll just end up with a bit of empty space there otherwise. I've made a program to do that too,
but that's not generally available yet. eg full screen calendar hack.
Oh, and fullscreen terminal services:
V
hmm
i actually look for a way in hiding it like wibar advanced desktop does it, removing it and showing what is behind it (wallpaper).
just replacing it with another image is not what i actually am looking for.
I am sure a lot of people know exactly what i mean ;o) something like wisba advanced desktop without having to use that resource hogging program self LOL
:twisted:
Eh? That's what all my programs do (on wm2003se anyway!)
V
ehh
ok email it to me lol. lets see if it works on wm5 LOL
dvl: the link is already posted above. As I said, it doesn't work on WM5, or at least not properly, so I don't recommend it right now, although hopefully in a week or so I'll have the new VS 2005 and can finish the damn thing off. For now it will remove the soft menu buttons, but NOT fill the space up (on WM2003 it expands your today screen, which is why that thread is called "16% bigger today screen" or something...)
Follow that thread and try it, but as I said, it doesn't work as designed yet. You might ask why I'm mentioning it then: because no one else has come up with a solution to remove the bars, and I'm just highlighting that it can be done, by anyone. My own version will be here soonish.
V
VJ! FULL SCREEN TERMINAL SERVICES!!!! This is just too bloody awesome for words...I stopped following that thread when I figured no-one was gonna solve it. I'm off to contribute GBP10 to your WM5 fund right now - please keep my real name out of any messages.
Hangin in there for JasJar compliant:
- VJDialer (works on other wm5 devices I hear, not the JJ tho)
- ToggleStart (tho not sure it'll be any use until PhoneAlarm works on WM5 AND VGA <- I'm correct in believeing there are no VGA skins, hey?)
- This full screen TS capability!!
For others who want to see VJ working on his apps, use this paypal link to contribute to his VS2005 and WM5 device costs:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...ency_code=GBP&bn=PP-DonationsBF&charset=UTF-8
craigiecraigie4 - wow, thanks man! I'm getting to my WM5 device slowly, although your donation even distracted my better half from her CSI this evening!
I did the fullscreen terminal services mainly as a response to your pleading, thought you'd already seen it! Have you posted in the other thread?
Hopefully, as soon as I get a copy of Visual Studio 2005, I'll get it sorted out in beta.
Thanks again!

adding progs to the orientation & wireless manager launc

Hi,
Great forum, I've had a shufty around a can't find out how to add icons to the section at the bottom of the screen where there is a line and you have the two icons for the wireless manager and orientation.
It'd be good if you could add your own icons to this don't you think? Like TDLaunch but it's already there!
I'm gonna add a moody picture with an daft arrow just in case I've been rambling away!.
http://www.billylondon.co.uk/exec.JPG
Be interesting to see how its done.
Billy
Have a look here
HKLM\Services
particularly Power\ShowIcon
etc.
I believe your program needs to register as a service to be allowed into the lower status bar.
bubster mate, are you very new to the pocket pcs?
The row of icons are called the Tray, displayed on the Today screen.
You can use various programs to add your own applications to the Tray.
I recommend PHM Tools, check it out normally here:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/PowerToys/
however, the link doesn't seem to work. You're looking for a prog called TrayLaunch.
However, if you're interested, I wrote my own, called VJTrayLaunch.

Check it out on my website:
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJTrayLaunch
You will need to be able to make shortcuts; do this using an explorer program like GSFinder+, my personal recommendation.
EDIT: Guys read through the thread. VJTrayLaunch is only for launching one or two apps. Don't use it for 15 etc, read lbendlin's posts.
I will be updating this at some point. It's safe for a couple of icons, but more than that and you'll be limiting resources for other programs.
V
wow, learning a new word every day... "annunciators"
I guess it's back to reading the Boling book...
Vijay, why is your program resident once for each icon? Couldn't you make it re-entrant?
lbendlin: which version of Boling are you reading?
My program is resident for each app because I wanted it that way, absolutely basic and lowest resources possible without any configuration.
Each icon can be unloaded from its menu subject to user's choice.
I don't actually use the tray at all, preferring to entirely remove it from my today screen:
However, VJBigPhone needed a tray icon, so I had to learn the code, and this was merely a spinoff from that exercise. Someone had asked if there was a fair alternative to PHM's app, which is what I would use if I used the tray. I didn't know of one at the time, but since I could write the code, I did, just in case it came in handy...
What are VJTrayLaunch's overheads like? I've never used it in practise, so have no real experience of it, and haven't measured it...
V
reading the Third Edition.
I have replaced my cLaunch today plugin with a number of TrayLaunch shortcuts. Much better use of real estate. I'll watch the performance impact.
Does WM5 still have the 32 process limit?
lbendlin: I'm really not sure, I've not looked into it the task limit.
re Boling, yep me too. I'm learning everything I know from there and a huge Windows reference book, and C++ for dummies I'm only on Chapter 5, so obviously you'll see the theme of my apps change as I progress!
Re cLaunch, if you're using many shortcuts, or even a few large ones like me
a tabbed icon launcher is useful for thumb friendly size. My cLaunch setup is configured to give 4 banks of icons (1: quick calls, 2: apps A, 3: apps B, 4: phone profiles and volume control), tabbed with the arrows on the left.
So all is easy to navigate with the thumb (I've actually moved over to my unreleased plugin VJEphemeris that replaces several other plugins, but it works on the same principle).
The tray is very small, and good for some apps, depending on use really; I'm always looking for a better thumb friendly Today screen. Hence tabs and claunch, tray is too small for my use. Post a screenshot so we can get an idea!
On WM5 I've already written code to remove the tray from WM5 and shrink the soft buttons:
which I will provide as an option in VJToggleTodayWM5.
However, I will also be working on an expansion of my program HideStart to allow me to relocate the tray to somewhere more useful for me on WM5 (this is WM2003 screenshot):
I think the tray is very useful, but it's a crime it's not always visible. But there's just no space on QVGA. So I made it optionally visible anywhere, toggled with the start bar.
I've just had a cool thought: tabbed tray icons! I've not seen those before, and they could be quite feasible. Might look into it. What do you think?

I like the idea. I was planning on investing on a launcher, but after reading your post, I'd rather wait for you to develop this. Plus I'd rather pay for this rather than a launcher. EXCELLENT idea!
I'm such a glutton for punishment coming up with these ideas!
cktlcmd: I still highly recommend cLaunch. I had some good exchanges with its author and the code is mesmerisingly cool from a geeks point of view! Way over my head, that guy's a genius.
I just had a thought about how tabbed tray icons might be doable. I'll try to look into it, but I'm afraid it won't be too soon, unless I really find myself possessed by a eureka moment and can't stop myself (they happen surprisingly often!)

I am sad to report that I have switched back to cLaunch. The 32 process limit still seems to stand, and my 6 TaskLaunch instances created all kinds of funny situations where other programs would be closed for no apparent reason. So, Vijay, time for a re-entrant version? ;-)
lbendlin: I'm really sorry, I didn't understand why you were asking about the 32 task limit, but of course now I understand!
I believe WM5 is also limited to the 32 tasks as before, and this is "addressed" by using services! That's not a solution. for others, read this
You've made a good observation. I clearly recommend PHM tray launcher myself (I never use the tray, I use smallmenu personally) but this was made just for launching one or two distinct tasks. I'll amend the first post to reflect this info.
I'm giving thought to how to do tabbed and multi icons. I didn't address this previously because it wasn't what I wanted, but I can see the value of it with some of my other hacks. It probably won't happen too soon, I'm developing another couple of larger projects before I can come back to this, but I will work on it. Hopefully someone else can do it first!

Tastbar skinning

Does anyone know of a program that allows you to skin the Taskbar? I have tried using Wisbar, but it uses too much memory and bogs down my system.
It would be great if there was a quicker program that used less memory. And I don't care about the other features Wisbar has, I just want to skin the Taskbar and the Start menu button.
I guess not!

But it is the skinning that uses the memory and slows down the device.
None of the other features of Wisbar Advance 2 are memory-intensive at all.
Any application that skins your device will be a memory hog, period.
By taskbar, you mean the top bar right?
One kinda solution that isn't cpu intensive is to use my VJToggleToday II app (in alpha release right now though) to replace the start bar.

Dude, that looks ****ing sweet; I have been waiting with great anticipation for it ever since I first heard about it!
Is it skinnable?
VJToggleToday merely shifts the Today Screen, allowing you to show your today plugins through - so I'm using my PhoneAlarm skin at the top of the screen to adjunct the start bar.
I haven't worked on VJEphemeris or VJSihaya (the more 'evolved' version of the idea) for months - I wrote them both as a proof of concept idea, but since then I've decided to put off further development until I feel competent to tackle all of the things I want to put into it. Both are evidently (overly) skinnable.
I've been working on a new app for a while, it's completely innocent, just a simple text editor, but it's a testbed for features that I'm going to be using in my new apps (ie a new skinning engine and GUI). That's (realistically) coming soon.
V
vijay555... what other apps do you use on your today screen? The bottom half looks like you havea last call and last email displaying on your today, correct?
itesla: that's an old plugin I wrote once, but it's not been released yet. It's called VJEphemeris. I'm taking a break from it while I learn some new stuff, so that I can add the new features I want to it.
It does show missed calls and previews received SMSs etc. There are many hidden popup menus etc, but as I said, that'll all change in the final version, if and when I get around to finishing it!
V
Hey Vijay, I have been using your ToggleToday program in conjunction with PhoneAlarm. I really like it, but there are a couple things that I miss: the clock, and the OK button.
I was wondering, would it be possible for me to use one of those third-party button programs like MagicButton or vBar, and then move over the signal status?
For the clock, I wasn't sure if there was any possible solution, unless PhoneAlarm has a feature that allows you to display it.
I believe PhoneAlarm has a clock feature built in now, you can certainly edit the skin to include one.
I never use the ok button in the corner, I use VJOkButt 100% of the time, and that's compatible with 3rd party task managers that use the ok button.
I don't quite understand about "move over the signal status". How do you mean?
Something to consider, which I have't tried but should work, is to use a phonealarm skin with transparency - if you leave a gap in your phone alarm skin, where the original clock is - you might be able to allow the original "start bar" to shine through the gap...
But anyway, PhoneAlarm does have a clock feature, I believe.
V

Anyone know a Today Plug in that can do this?

I was wondering if there is a today plug in that will allow me to write or type my own message and show up on my today screen permantly (and allows me to change it through settings)?
Doesnt thebuild in tasks plugin work for you?? Or you want a more "post-it" notes kinda feel??
I just want like one line on my today screen to write whatever I want....for example......like the owner informations with phone number is 2 lines.....I want to disable that and write my own information in one line.....doesn't have to be owner info....just anything I want.....it's kinda hard to explain.....and I want to to be able to use chinese characters to write too.....

tbito, this was exactly what i was thinking of recommending to kiru...and i can confirm that it works with wm2005. i'm using a mio a701 and this is one of my plugins.
Yes, NotesToday is one of my staples. I think it's very useful.
I tweaked the default skin slightly to allow me to minimise it to a dot, (just above the weather plugin)

and then maximise it to normal:
I didn't end up using it much, but nice idea, well implemented, and well worth the $5.
V
hey vijay, very interesting the way you made it look so small and efficient! mind sharing it? :wink: interesting little application; although i don't use it as much it's good as a quick scratch pad for all occasions...
Someone just emailed me about the skin.
I've found a copy on my ftp - I haven't used the plugin for a while, because I'm still migrating my setup to WM5 and deciding on new plugins.
But hopefully this is the skin shown:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/!tools/notestodayskin/notestoday_skin_new.zip
I modified the skin to take almost no room, but be stylus selectable, but particularly selectable with the dpad. I can't remember if I had to edit the registry, but basically you can switch minimised and maximised mode by scrolling down the today screen with the dpad and clicking enter. It'll shrink/expand accordingly
V
Hi Vijay,
I Guess this is off topic. But on one of the screenshots your have an extra blue bar underneath the start button. With two arrow vertical up anddown at the start and sms, phone, and bluetooth etc. in it. I also saw some sort of profiles program with the same arrows in a later screenshot. with seems like profiles to me.
Are those programs the same and if yes, which program is it? I'm tried several programs Pocket Zen phone and WM Profiles. But wasn't happy because the vibrate function didn't work properly on my wizard.
Let me know, thanks.
Cheers
Shah
Shah, the blue bar near the top in my 18 August 2005 screenshots is an early version of my PhoneAlarm skin. This was refined into the one you can see in my 5 April 2006 screenshot, at the top of the screen (being used via my VJToggleToday program).
This is used to select profiles (where the normal "Vibrate" icon is at the top of the screen, clicking this brings a drop down menu with my profiles, Work, Home, Silent, FlightMode)
PhoneAlarm is excellent, generally. Profiles are a very basic feature on any phone, and it's mindboggling that it's not a standard feature, but I like PhoneAlarm, and Bruce, the author (you can also see my slightly hacked version of AlarmToday as well in the screenshots).
My 5 April 2006 screenshot also shows claunch at the bottom (apologies for the stupid icons, I lost some icons when I changed phones), being used to change PhoneAlarm profiles with my thumb. So I can make calls/send SMS using VJPhoneTools, change profiles (PhoneAlarm), and launch selected apps all from the same plugin.
V
Vijay, do you not find PhoneAlarm is resource-heavy?
Also, is that skin on your home page? (I've had a look and can't see it)

Hi Guys,
First: THANKS YOU vijay555 for giving me the skin files! (I'll mail you later with my findings, regarding VGA and landscape use)
Second: Does anyone have the other zips that were placed on the NotesToday website? (which is offline now , anyone know why?)
Cached version of the page with the zips I mean:

Thanks in advance.

Puzom:
I may have the skins at home. Frankly, it's easy to write your own. The standard skins are nothing exciting!
Webreaper:
My phonealarm skin is towards the end of the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331&highlight=vjtoggletoday
I've used PhoneAlarm for pretty much my whole year on XDA devs, and never found it to be a problem on resources. There are simpler ways of doing what it does, but it's useful, and gives me easy control of profiles etc. Bruce is filling it up with stuff I can't imagine needing, like cell based profiles etc, but I'm happy with the basics - notifications, mail count, profiles etc.
PhoneAlarm or a similar app is essential IMHO for effective use of the phone.
I've had trouble with AlarmToday since upgrading to WM5, but the old WM2003 version was flawless and very useful too.
V
Thanks Vijay. Your skin looks the simplest and neatest I've seen.
I really liked the idea of the cell-based profiles, in particular for things like enabling wifi for when I'm at home, but disabling it when I'm at work. Unfortunately, my house and office are both on the same cell.

[APP][2010/07/02]AppGrouper, a simple catagorised app launcher

Hi!
I'm a longtime lurker, ever since I got my Touch HD when it first came out and I NEEDED to have an english rom instead of a dutch one. Thanks to this place, my phone runs exactly how I want it to (most of the time ).
Except for a decent app launcher. I HATE the win6/6.1 scrollist ones, allthough the startmenu after that sucked a little less. I liked the yotacenter launcher, but in the end I just ran out of space and had to hit the "all apps" button too often and scroll through a huge list.
So I wrote my own in c# under .net 3.5.
And, seeing as I got all my tweaks and fixes from you guys, I thought I should give something back; in essence a quick and dirty app launcher which does exactly what I want: organise the programs I use the most.
It's a catagory per page, has menu, contextmenu and top-scroll-bar driven UI and you can add your own background:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I wrote it to be as device independant as I knew how, but I've really only tested it on my Touch HD1, so I'm really curious as to how it runs "in the wild" (or even on any other HD ). To save some effort, I've just packaged the .exe, which should run from any location. If it doesn't, \Program Files\AppGrouper\ should do it.
It should come with a default background and an icon...for this initial release [call it a beta] I didn't create a cab, so you'll have to copy/edit an existing .lnk file to get the program to show up in the windows\startmenu\ .lnk files so you can use a launcher to launch my launcher (yeah, I get the irony ), or just start the app from the exe.
Anyway, as I said this is the first application I'm releasing to the public, so please give me some feedback I have no idea what "unknown unknowns" this app'll run into on different machines than my emulator and my own Touch HD. The only deletion the program can do is to a specifically named .xml file it generates itself, so it should be safe enough
PS: as I was entering the tags to this post, I realised that this type of software could have been made and released many times: I've only used MS's launcher and the yotacenter one, so any ideas and/or other similarities to other launchers is coincidence and a case of simultanious devellopment (or in my case, retarded devellopment ). Again, any feedback is appreciated, from bugs to implementation to "you've totally ripped off x!". 'Cause I didn't, but I'd like to know about x
Anyway, I hope someone can use this!
Nice apps. The Title Folder box ought be longer to fit the text
Hehe
Ok, so I guess I'll have to set up an auto resize routine for the textsize and the textbox ... check back in a day or two
BTW, what device did you use this on? I'm curious to know if the program works correctly on devices other than touch hd's, too.

I use on Topaz, see my sig
Thanks
Thanks for sharing!
I think mortbutton can do better than this
Ok app. thanks for sharing
By default can you pick up start menu and folder under it as group?
Else I think mortbutton can do far better job than your program. + .netcf 3.5 requirment
Thanks for sharing it. Few things I noticed
while trying to add an to a folder a drop down menu reveal 3 options - the first one is to add an app, what is the second one? it is blank on my tp2?
after running an app it stays in memory. is this how you designed it? i would prefer if it closed after running an app
finally, can you list here launchers that you came across that are standalone apps, meaning they do not sit in memory or eat CPU. i am looking for something like that with folders/tabs like yours and self-close after use.
thanks for sharing. i have one single question. i have installed it on my herald, but i cannot add more then one app to a group. am i missing something?
Sweet launcher! Thank U
I like your application!
As being an anti manila user Until now I was addicted to Program Finder plugin (attached) running on the Today Screen. Unfortunately the Today Screen does not have the SIP toggle in the bottom bar plus sometimes the Today Screen needs a refresh, due to Program Finder being an very old program; its messing up the Today Screen.
Therefore I searched the whole internet and finally after searching for 1 year I found [attachment]ToggleInputPanel.exe[attachment]. I'm executing programs via icons by running Easy Today Launcher.
Your application is a welcome alternative, thanx again! o/~
