Apex Notifier

Wed, 08 May 2013 20:13:32 +0000

Apex Notifier is an extension application for Apex Launcher Pro (2.0+) and DashClock Widget (Android 4.2+). It provides notification data to those applications and does nothing on its own.

We decided to make the notifications feature a separate extension app for better permission management and easy integration with DashClock. With this change, we were able to remove a few sensitive permissions from Apex Launcher, so users of the free version won't have to grant those permissions.

When used with Apex Launcher Pro, unread counts will show up in badges on application icons. Please enable Apex Notifier in Apex Settings > Notification settings.

When used with DashClock Widget, Apex Notifier displays useful information from various sources. Please enable Apex Notifier in DashClock Extensions > Add Another Extension > Apex Notifier. You may enable up to 3 extensions for DashClock.

Supported Apps
• Missed Calls
• Unread SMS
• Calendar Appointments
• Gmail
• HTC Mail
• Samsung Email
• K-9/Kaiten Mail
• Battery Level
• Stock Email
• Google Talk
• Google Voice
• Starbucks

Notes
• Unread SMS provides the number of unread messages, not unread conversations.
• Gmail unread count requires Gmail version 4.0.5 or higher.
• If you update Gmail or install K-9/Kaiten Mail after installing Apex Notifier, you may have to re-install Apex Notifier to get proper permissions.
• You do not need this extension for Aqua Mail. Just turn on external notifiers in Apex Launcher Pro, and you will see the unread count badge.
• Battery level will be displayed in a numeric badge on Battery apps (the Settings app by default) in Apex Launcher Pro. Some battery settings (e.g., status, time, details) are only applicable for DashClock.
• Notification data for Email, Google Voice, and Starbucks are retrieved from widgets. Please set up your account in those apps first. Depending on how often each app refreshes its widget, data may not be updated in real time.
• Features listed under Labs are experimental and may stop working in the future.
• When used with Apex Launcher Pro, please install Apex Launcher before installing Apex Notifier.
• Apex Notifier only works with official versions of Apex Launcher Pro (2.0+). Please do not ask for support if you are using a modified or pirated version.

Feature Requests
For now, only apps listed above are supported. Integration with additional apps may be implemented in the future if there is official API or public content provider. There is currently no plan to support apps that do not expose APIs (e.g., WhatsApp, KakaoTalk). It is possible to support those apps by listening to status bar notifications using an accessibility service. However, it is hacky and suffers from some known issues (with Google Now, Talkback etc.)

Developers: Apex Launcher Pro also supports notifications from other apps. Please check out the notifications API at http://goo.gl/NC8EO

Recent changes:
* Added support for Kaiten Mail
* Improved support for unread Email
* Fixed Samsung Mail dashclock shortcut

WinterBoard

Tue, 14 May 2013 19:13:12 +0000

*NOTE*: WinterBoard requires you to have "root" access on your device. You also must install Cydia Substrate *before* installing WinterBoard.

WinterBoard is a "theme engine" that allows you to use the numerous themes you may find in the Google Play Store on your device without having to install custom ROMs or use custom launchers. It allows you to use almost any launcher icon theme with your stock launcher and supports "Theme Chooser" themes without CyanogenMod.

This is accomplished using a modification to the software on your device managed using Substrate, a code modification platform. You will therefore also have to install Substrate to use WinterBoard. You can find Substrate in the Google Play Store; if you attempt to use WinterBoard without Substrate, you will be directed to install Substrate.

Users may recognize the name WinterBoard: we distribute a similar program for Apple's iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. Available to users via Cydia, the alternative to the App Store for users of "jailbroken" devices, WinterBoard is used by tens of million users worldwide, supporting well over ten thousand known themes of varying complexity.

Artists who want to make themes compatible with WinterBoard do not do anything special: the goal of WinterBoard is to support themes designed for most other theme systems. In specific, you can use themes designed for ADW Launcher, GO Launcher Ex, Launcher Pro, dxTop, and the T-Mobile/CyanogenMod Theme Chooser platform.

Please note, however, that WinterBoard is still under development: while the core features of these themes will likely work, many others might not. The priority for launcher themes has been "icon packs". It is a goal of WinterBoard to support as many features of these themes as possible, so users should check back later for updates.

Within WinterBoard, users will see a list of themes that they have installed on their system. To activate themes, click the entry to mark them with a check. Yes, you can turn on multiple themes ;P. Themes override each other based on their order in the list: to move them around you drag them up and down using the handles on the right.

When using Theme Chooser themes, please understand that these are often tailored to the specific version of the firmware you are running, and that even finding a theme for the "equivalent" version of CyanogenMod to what you have installed might not have everything aligned for the theme: things may look awkward or simply be missing.

The expectation is that, like on iOS, people will eventually start building themes optimized specifically for the stock software that can be used with WinterBoard. The result is that, just as you find themes currently that claim compatibility with certain versions of CyanogenMod, themes might claim support for "Android 4.2 w/ TouchWiz".

(WinterBoard requests the ACCESS_SUPERUSER permission, but only uses it to restart the system to apply your new themes. It does not physically modify any of the stock software stored on your device: all modifications are made dynamically via Substrate, so uninstalling WinterBoard is guaranteed to remove all traces of its installation.)

If, while using WinterBoard, you run into any problems (such as it crashes on boot, preventing your device from starting), please remember that Substrate has a safety feature built into it: you can hold your device's volume up button to temporarily disable Substrate so that WinterBoard is not loaded, and then your device boots correctly.

The launcher icon pack and Theme Chooser theme that are used in the screenshots are both available from the Play Store. The former is free, while the latter costs money (sorry, not my product; I will attempt to find another theme that works well together for the example screenshots in the future, but my goal right now is to get this released ;P).

Recent changes:
In WinterBoard 0.9.3921, I detect if WinterBoard and Substrate are both installed, but that somehow WinterBoard does not have the required permission to use Substrate. I did not realize that downloading WinterBoard and Substrate from the Play Store would have a check-and-the-egg problem with defining and activating the security permission. I will look into a better solution to this going forward. In the mean time, 0.9.3921 detects this and asks the user to uninstall and reinstall WinterBoard :(.

Everything.me Home (Beta)

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:17:04 +0000

Imagine your phone could be dynamic, constantly adapting to your interests, your location, your life. Everything.me Home is a launcher that turns your phone into a Dynamic Phone! you think it and you get it; your phone adapts to you.

The Dynamic Launcher by Everything.me, is the new way for people to interact with their mobile devices, and the ULTIMATE personalization tool for any Android smartphone. Your new home.

Feel free to talk to us, this launcher is a beta and we would <3 to hear from you:
Twitter: https://twitter.com/EverythingMe
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Everything.me
email: beta@everything.me

*** Currently available only in: USA and Canada ***

Think of your smartphone. Every time you open it, you get exactly the same apps.
You want to go to the movies? Same apps. You want to grab something to eat? Same apps.
It's static. It's always the same.
Let's say you want to watch a movie. Any movie.
Enter the name of the movie and the phone will instantly transform:
The background will be from the movie.
All the apps will be about the movie, self-assembling on your screen, ready to use.
Tap any app, and it will open into the content you wanted.

Now think of something else: a singer, your favorite food, your team.
The phone will change again, becoming what you had in mind.
It's that simple.

This is the Dynamic Phone: it gets what you want – and instantly adapts to get you what you have in mind.

Everything.me Launcher main features:
============================
► Understanding your intent
Smartphones aren't really that smart. They might be as powerful as a computer, but they don't really understand you. They might not get the difference between Madonna the singer and the holy Madonna when all you want is to listen to some music, and they might show you games instead of nearby restaurants when all you want is sushi. If smartphones were so smart, you wouldn't have to work so hard to find relevant content when you need it.
With the Everything.me launcher, all you have to do is enter whatever's on your mind - one or two words will usually do - and it'll understand and get it for you.

► Every app you'll need
Things are simpler with a Dynamic Phone launcher: from the get-go, it brings you every app you’ll ever need, native or web.

► Launch in context
With an ordinary, static smartphone, your work's never done. Even when your apps are lined up all nice and tidy you still have to search inside them for the stuff you want. A Dynamic Phone is smarter – so smart, in fact, that it asks other apps for the content you're looking for. For example, if you're shopping for a new digital camera, just enter the name of the camera and all the relevant shopping apps will appear. Click on any of the apps, and it will open directly into the content you wanted - reviews, price comparisons, you name it.

► Smart Folders
Managing and maintaining your apps is a technical and logistical challenge. You need to search, install, register, log in, provide location, update, forget… Apps demand your attention, cognition, awareness, memory....
A Dynamic Phone works for you, not vice versa. You have pre-loaded Smart folders full of apps you use all the time – news, social, music, games and more. Every folder is instantly ready-to-use and dynamically updated.
Your stuff is still here
You might be asking yourself: now that my phone is Dynamic, where's all my static stuff? Well it's still all here, accessible at the touch of a button.

TONS of new stuff in this version - huge thanks to our growing community, please keep on sending your feedback, we're adding your suggestions and making Everything.me even more dynamic.
