Important Information:

Avast reporting as malware?! No it's definitely not malware, it is the AdNetwork SDK which has been certified by Verisign and fully approved by Google. Avast and a few other outdated scanners will mark this as a potential risk because of the required permissions. Don't be fooled, use a scanner with legitimate identifiers like Lookout Security or AVG. Read our privacy policy or contact us for more info.

Then why are there so many permissions? Well, most are required for the app drawer and home screen controls. The others are necessary for our AdNetwork's SDK and are explained in more detail here - http://www.startapp.com/permissions/. All permissions added are completely harmless and at no point do we collect or store any personal information! Our user's privacy is a top priority, but please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

This app will provide a few useful shortcuts on your device in the form of a search bookmark link and home screen icon. This gives us a few cents each time the app is downloaded for the first time and will help us out a lot in developing more apps. If you do not want to use these new tools, you can simply ignore or delete them by dragging the icon to the trashcan and no harm is done (our app remains the same, no need to uninstall it). Thank you!

If you have any questions or comments, please visit our website or send us an email and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Note to Dedicated Users and Fans:

To those of you that have been supporting Syndicate Apps and using our launchers and themes for the last year, you may have noticed that some of them haven’t been updated in a couple months. We appreciate your dedication and feedback more than can be expressed in writing and are extremely sorry for the wait, but this is only because we have spent the last 6 months straight developing a new launcher that will be the most advanced and customizable app on the market when we are ready to launch. The apps we have released in the meantime are to make sure individual features and add-ons work before integrating them into the beta project (and only specific styles for those features at that). So don’t despair because the real thing will be out soon and completely change the way you look at your phone or tablet. Stay tuned and check our site for updates!

Startapp does not collect any personally identifiable information and is fully compliant with Google's latest ad policy changes by not only effectively notifying users in displaying an EULA, but makes their search shortcuts completely optional

Omega StatusBar

Fri, 10 Aug 2012 09:22:17 +0000

Omega StatusBar allows you to control the look and feel of your status bar for free - AND without needing a rooted device!

Omega StatusBar is much more than just another status bar replacement by taking customization to the next level. With tons of themes you will have an endless supply of icon styles and layouts to choose from. On top of that, OSB offers many built-in settings and preferences that no other status bar replacement on the market has done in order to get your status bar to look just how you want it!

OSB is also the first replacement to allow full theme support from other developers to completely maximize the user experience! After installation don't forget to try the iPhone iOS and Android 4.0 and 4.2 TouchWiz, Sense, and AOSP Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean themes in blue, cyan, green, grey, orange, pink, purple, red, yellow, and white!

What are the main features of Omega StatusBar?

Ω Replaces your stock status bar by providing a beautiful alternative to the same old indicators and notifications
Ω Allows support for third party themes made by anyone (including you!)
Ω Auto-detection for hidden status bar or screen orientation
Ω Task killer safe! Will auto-reboot when killed
Ω Start-on-boot option to auto start when device is rebooted
Ω System Sensors to notify of device errors and alerts
Ω High Temp sensor and Battery sensors
Ω Smooth gesture for default pull down
Ω Content settings to give you full control of what is visible
Ω Exclusion list for unwanted application notifications
Ω Notification Count for repeating notifications
Ω Animated Charging Battery
Ω Animated status bar background
Ω Theme Manager to manage all your themes
Ω Low ram footprint (under 7mb)
Ω Simulates system animations for battery, wifi, signal, and data indicators
Ω Supports stock notifications such as gps, sound, bluetooth, email and gmail, calendar, sms, etc
Ω Built-in 3rd party notifications for Pandora, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
Ω And so much more!

What about Omega StatusBar Pro?

Omega StatusBar is a free app but we also have a pro version with even more features, stability, and sooner updates. That being said, we are not going to make the free version of Omega StatusBar a trial for only 14 days like other apps such as StatusBar+ or Super Status Bar. We are going to leave this version of OSB completely free to use for as long as you want. If you want to support our development, unlock more features, and get updates first, then you should upgrade to OSB Pro today! Besides, its only $1.29 which is still cheaper than other status bar replacements! 

What is this about Accessibility Control?

In order for Omega StatusBar to handle all third party notifications, you must give it permission through the Accessibility Manager. This must manually be done through the settings. Go to Settings > Accessibility >Omega StatusBar > ON.

Other Information & permissions

Why so many permissions needed?!?! Well, Omega StatusBar is a different kind of application. It is designed to constantly run and overlay your stock status bar. It has to receive third party notifications and access information about your device. Without this information, the status bar would not run correctly. Please accept these permissions as we are using each one properly and for a specific use!

Note to 4.1+ users: The custom notification panel is almost ready and will fix the overlapping issue in the stock panel.

Custom ROM and MIUI Users: Unfortunately Omega StatusBar cannot support all of the custom ROMs available for Android. This is especially true for MIUI due to differences in the framework. Please be patient while we improve compatibility.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments!!! We cannot reply to comments on the market. Please do not post negative reviews about a problem, we will be happy to help you with any issue you experience. Thank you!

iPhone Locker

Sat, 07 Apr 2012 18:23:13 +0000

iPhone Locker is the ultimate iPhone lock screen app for Android! It includes the same features as you would find on an iPhone lock screen. iLocker even displays the real "Slide to unlock" animation that many other apps like GO and Magic Locker are missing. Why use your boring stock lock screen when you can use iLocker?
 

*Features*

★ iOS clock
★ iOS date with month, day, and day of month
★ "Slide to unlock" animation
★ iOS slider graphics  
★ Automatic music controls
★ 3 backgrounds or user wallpaper 
★ Unlock sounds 
★ Hide status bar 
★ Low RAM footprint 
★ 0% battery drain
 

**Tips and help**

★  If you are experiencing force close errors or delays in the lock screen showing up after turning off your screen, you may need to adjust your lock screen delay intervals. Go to your device's "display" settings menu (or under "security" depending on your Android version) and set the delay value to "immediately".

★ If your default system lock screen is still showing up before iLocker is displayed, disable the screen lock in your device's "security" settings menu to ensure they do not overlap.

★ Avast reporting as malware?! No it's definitely not malware, it is the AdNetwork's SDK which has been certified by Verisign and fully approved by Google. Avast and a few other outdated scanners will mark this as a potential risk because of the required permissions. Don't be fooled, use a scanner with legitimate identifiers like Lookout Security or AVG. Read our privacy policy or contact us for more info.

★ Then why are there so many permissions? Well, most are required for the weather and lock screen controls. The others are necessary for our AdNetwork's SDK and are explained in more detail here - http://www.startapp.com/permissions/. All permissions added are completely harmless and at no point do we collect or store any personal information! Our user's privacy is a top priority, but please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. 
 

***Other Info***

★ iLocker is not a theme! It is a standalone lock screen app that will simulate the iPhone lock screen from iOS5. iLocker is a lightweight alternative to other lock screens that will produce lag and bog your system down such as MiLocker and many other themed iPhone lock screens.

★ This app provides a few useful shortcuts on your device in the form of a search bookmark link and home screen icon. This gives us a few cents each time the app is downloaded for the first time and will help us out a lot in developing more apps. If you do not want to use these new tools, you can simply ignore or delete them by dragging the icon to the trashcan and no harm is done (our app remains the same, no need to uninstall it).
