Thank you for this.
It's probably more work to fool social logins, so at least I hope it will be safer on this side.

Indeed this looks like a bug... I'll look at it when I'm back from vacations.

Me too. I don't see anything better than recaptcha. I haven't checked whether bots were connecting through a normal account or through the social login plugin.

Currently I'm in vacations, don't expect this to move before september.

That's probably a border effect, as LL has no bluetooth permission. I suppose that some event is sent throughout the system and is not handled properly by LL, or maybe an input event is sent and not received as expected. If you could capture the logcat it would be very helpful, as I don't encounter ...

This makes thing clear, thanks for educating me on this. I'll look at the APIs and documentation and see how it is possible to implement this.

The "My Drawer" section supports all settings, but the difference is that the position of icons is not computed and you need to move icons either manually, or using the compact / sort features in the menu. This way, the apps will adapt to the scrolling preferences but still you are free to set custo...

In theory there's a screen with all the apps you downloaded from the "birth" of your google account, and from there you should be able to reinstall the app, even the older ones (I don't want to imagine all the storage it needs...), and not depending whether there are paid or free (an app cannot move...

It's unclear for me what I have to do to make the app support work profiles. There are a few things to check (https://developer.android.com/work/managed-profiles) but from what I understand there is no specific action to take it and it should be enabled by default. Is the app not selectable in the p...

I don't reply anymore to this kind of question by email because answers are in the google help center, and everything related to download and purchase is entirely in the hands of... google (except refund, developers can do that most of the time). Everything that has been downloaded or paid one day c...

@Cueball666uk could you try to activate the floating desktop (even an empty one) just to see how it behaves?

@TrianguloY is right, the main change to keep the app alive in foreground is only active when the floating desktop is enabled. If it solves the issue, I may enable it independently.

Indeed, there's also a trick to replace the content of a panel with a mirror of the app drawer, in which any modification made in the app drawer is immediately visible in the panel. But be careful: this is totally unsupported, there are limitations and you must not make any modification from the pan...

I don't know, it's currently not installed on my device. Maybe this has something to do with alignment when the aspect ratio doesn't match the screen ratio?

There are certainly a lot of things done right in Nova, it's developer has always been focused on producing a very clean and polished user experience.

I must admit that I don't read ratings anymore!
Regarding translation, people that write reviews like this don't read the app description and probably won't be able to find the link to external packages anyway

Do you mean more regular, more frequent ?

Done! https://www.lightninglauncher.com/trans ... /packages/

I've no other idea. It's not supposed to be worse in any case, as nothing is removed but a new mechanism is added above the others

Is the persistent notification present ?

Done.

Arg, I was pretty sure I did it, but you're right it's not done

Users can't create language pack themselves, only participate in the translations. Unfortunately the german pack has been removed by Google because it violates the Google Play Developer Program Policies. The problem is that I have NO idea why... This is an old and broken link, where did you find it?...

You need to send me your google order number (a giant sequence of digits)

This is also something I attempted to fix in the latest release. In fact there's a (bad) reason behind that weird behavior, but hopefully this is much much better now.

I hope the new release will fix this issue. Please let me know how it works for you once you get the update.

At last! A brand new release with some new features and improvements, but most importantly a lot of updates and fixes related to Android 7 and beyond. Tap outside of folder to close it New script editor features thanks to TrianguloY Add grid 3x3 and grid auto folder icon styles Experimental support ...

No, this can probably be done too!

Yes, this is a known problem with recent android versions. Work is in progress to solve this issue, but I still have to publish it...

The context is the one you can get through Lightning.getActiveScreen().getContext() (for instance).
In fact it is possible to set custom actions on app drawer items (through scripting!) but I would discourage this as it can break the app drawer behavior.

That's true, and moreover this can be added easily.

Keep in mind that disabled apps or components will disappear from the app drawer, so to make it work I either need to modify the app drawer to display disabled apps (this is possible) or apps need to be manually added to a desktop before to be disabled. To enable the whole app you can use something ...

If the icon is correct in the app drawer, then what you can do is to select "Launcher images" in the image picker and you will be able to pick the right icon there.

Do you mean you cannot select the icon in the image picker (the screen you get when selecting edit -> Select an icon) ? Or do you get a droid icon in the app drawer too ? In theory refreshing the app drawer should fix all icons in it, however it has no impact on the image picker itself. If an icon i...

There's an option for that in item properties / misc. / rotation.When the overall orientation is locked, items will rotate to follow the device orientation. This isn't a variable angle (always a multiple of 90°). I experimented with a continuous rotation but it's weird and uneasy to read. You can ap...

This is a system issue. My only suggestion is to uninstall the permissions packages and then re-install starting with the app.

Found it, since Pie there's a new permission needed to request packages deletion.

There may be some ready to use APIs although this is discouraged by the system goals (I haven't check this for a while), and ultimately it is always possible to list the content of the /proc directory where all processes have a folder which name is their pid. Any chance to solve the root issue? Rest...

I'd like to do it, but as you imagine, this requires a massive investment. And that's currently a problem for me because I don't have much bandwidth. Lightning has never been a profitable project and the development cost is way beyond the Play Store sales. It has been possible to develop it because ...

Sorry for the delay, I took some vacations and lost track of this thread.

@Wern-YuenTan: I could not reproduce this. Do you have a specific app example in mind?

Sorry for the delay (I took some quite long vacations...). Thank you for your support ChimeraLove , and be sure I appreciate it! However I regret it will not help a lot, simply because very few people donate and in the end it's no more than a drop in the ocean... Often, a better help is to put a rev...

It should be partly possible by looking at the list of processes. However i'm not sure in what way it would help in solving the issue.

Lightning did that with widgets a long time ago, but this is easier as all packages share the same "user id" (and signature).

LL has been started long before the action bar has been added to Android. Most screens have been designed without it and once they were working, and as it was not really needed to rework the UI I left them as is. The app drawer is an exception. The custom action bar has been implemented to replicate...

Yes indeed, this is the way to go!

Great picture! Yes of course I like the idea. And of course it's a massive change in the architecture ;-) The only way to do this properly is to rework some fundamental aspects of the app in a way it would make it incompatible with previous versions. For this reason I never implemented the class bas...

If I had to generalize the idea, a layouter would be a way to set item's properties with computed values. A layouters would be an implementation that set X and Y. I'm not a fan of a new editor because usually it locks you in a specific case. In my opinion it's legitimate only when it's frequently us...

There's a discussion regarding this issue but I couldn't find it. To sum up, Oreo tends to stop apps more rapidly, and this includes the service launched by LL to handle the floating desktop. This is a "normal", but unwanted beahvior. I have no workaround yet but I'm doing experiments at the moment.

Could you try after an app drawer refresh please? Maybe the app link is broken.

Please use the link here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3

Yes, it's in the desktop settings / events & action : swipe up is set to user menu par default.
