Description
The Sword Art Online system menu, for smartphones and tablets. Pay $5 inside Options to turn off ads and unlock additional features. The total cost of Pro and all extensions is around $8.
Drag down from the top left corner of your screen and orbs will fall into place, giving you quick access to various features of your phone. Call and text friends, launch your favorite apps via shortcuts, control music, and more using the various orbs.
SAO is built to be extendable. There are many free and paid themes and extensions available in the Store. Themes update the images, sounds, and fonts used in the app creating a completely different experience. Extensions, on the other hand, are additional orbs that appear when downloading other apps.
Both themes and extensions have an API for those who want to truly customize the experience. The documentation is still in it's infancy, so don't feel afraid to email us at xlythe@gmail.com for additional help or to submit an app to the Store. http://xlythe.com/saolauncher/theme.html http://xlythe.com/saolauncher/extension.html
FAQ:
Q: What does buying Pro do? A: Buying Pro will get you... No ads, multiple swipe boxes, custom avatar, weather, directions on the map. It does not give you any of the extensions.
Q: Can I help translate the app to my language? A: Sure! You can now help out with translating using Localize ( https://www.localize.im/v/dq ).
Q: Can I help test new features or recommend ideas? A: Of course! Join our community ( https://plus.google.com/communities/106623201559847991380 ) and, if you're interested in being on the cutting edge, sign up for Testing. We'll do our best to address bugs promptly.
Q: How do I use themes? A: Install the theme, then go into Options, Themes. You should see it as a choice aside Default.
Q: My extensions aren't working (or... anything isn't working). A: Try rebooting. If it still doesn't work, feel free to send us an email ( support@xlythe.com ) or report it in the community.
Q: Why can't I click under the swipe area? A: It's an anti-keylogging feature of Android's. There is no way to get around this.
Q: Why can't I hear any sound? A: There are different streams (System, Notification, Media). Some phones disable System, the stream usually reserved for button clicks. If you have one of those phones, you'll have to change the stream in Options.
Q: This isn't a launcher! Why claim it is? A: It is... Sort of. It launches apps. It is not meant to replace your default launcher, though.
Q: Why can't I get the SMS to work? A: We had to remove the SMS part of the app due to Google's changed to the messaging API rules as to what apps can use the API.

I just rooted my phone and made SAO launcher my default launcher but there is no home screen. It also should have an option to make it stay open instead of the swipe. New log date 10132015, going to buy the pro version and try again Would love if you made this into an actual default launcher. Looking into using it with null launcher for now. Hope development is going well. New log date 11142019 noticed that the development stoped for now. If not driving please ad free.

I love this app. I used for a long time but since i moved to my current phone (Xiaomi mi max) i can't use the phone extension, it just closes the launcher, the message extension that was on the older version is nowhere to be found and also i cant open the player profile, it just closes the launcher like the phone extension. Pls fix this bcz it's just sad to not be able to to use it because of such reasons
