Rootless Pixel Launcher: Version 3.6 mit autom. Theme-Wechsel

Nach einer Weile ohne Update ist jetzt Version 3.6 des Rootless Pixel Launcher erschienen, neben unzähligen Bugfixes gibt es auch eine neue Funktion. Neu ist jetzt der automatische Theme-Wechsel, den Google ursprünglich mit dem echten Pixel Launcher auf den eigenen Pixel-Smartphones einführte. Je nach Wallpaper werden Bestandteile des Launchers in hell oder dunkel dargestellt. Eine abgeschwächte Theme-Funktion für das Android-System, wenn man es denn so will.

Folgend lässt sich der komplette Changelog ausklappen, den Download der aktuellen App-Versionen findet ihr jederzeit bei GitHub. Aufgrund diverser Besonderheiten wird dieser Launcher wahrscheinlich nie im Play Store landen.

Theme selection

After all the requests I finally decided to cave in and let users select their own theme if they want. I wrote a small program in C# that automatically imported the translations using Google Translate. The available options are:

• Automatic: Will apply a theme based on the wallpaper

• Default: The default light background theme

• Dark: The dark background theme

• Light: Has a brighter white background in the app drawer than default, and has dark text to complement it

• Transparent: Based on the dark theme, but makes the app drawer more transparent so you can see more of your wallpaper

Bug fixes

• Delay workspace loading after a failed shortcut drag by half a second. This fixes a bug where the app drawer would stay half open when very briefly holding a shortcut.

• Add open source licenses preference in about settings category

• Strip empty left page after a settings invoked reload that removes At A Glance

• Import translations for all theme options

• Never scroll the home screen when app drawer is visible. This fixes a bug where the top left and top right corner could be used to scroll between pages.

• Clean up build.gradle, re-enable AAPT2 and update all dependencies

• Avoid crash when widget previews have no defined size

• Check the correct build version in WallpaperManagerCompat to remove logcat spam

• Bring back long press arrow for search functionality. This can be used to easily unhide apps.

• Reset scroll position when dragging up the app drawer. Fixes a bug where the app drawer was already scrolled if you held the background when closing.

• Reduce drawer opening stutters by only querying enough intents to fill predictions

• Change shortcut icon fallback to match the L3GO widgets icon

• Allow for statically typed drawable name in the round icon attribute. Fixes some crashes and is able to load more round icons on Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat.

• Improve proguard optimization rules by only optimizing constructors. Should slightly improve the performance, but is probably not noticable.

• Add Cylinder adaptive icon shape to the available icon shape options on Oreo

• Update Greek and Portuguese translations of Squircle

• Disable new app drawer Google Search style on Nougat because of layout bugs

• Disable white circle around icons on Go build

• Disallow interacting with a widget that is being resized

• Check both normalized and non-normalized search input for app search. Should fix the problem where some languages could not find any apps using the search function anymore.

• Automatically hide the Google Search style app drawer search bar when the Google App is disabled

• Add max_aspect tag for transparent navigation bar on OEM ROMs. Fixes the black navigation bar on LG phones.
