Happy Holidays!

I work hard for you all. I know some of you don't show your appreciation to me, but I appreciate all of you just the same. Because while we have our differences, at the end of the day I am just one person possessing enough knowledge to scrape together a set of free applications that others may want to use or may benefit from. I am nothing without the faithful set of followers who use my applications, people like you who have seen some way that their lives could be made easier by what I have to offer through my work. I just want to take this time to show my appreciation to each and every one of my users who have ever given me a chance.

Thank You, and Happy Holdiays to all.

UI Responsiveness

Trying to get the feel of the applications to be smoother, more responsive. Fresh.

Power Manager is testing an experimental setting which may be able to work around the problem where radios occasionally are not properly managed. Hopefully the patch will bring more efficient, if not completely fixed management of radio states in all situations.

SoftGlow will be smoother and more responsive, and it currently consuming significantly less memory.

Home Button is working to also be less aggressive and hold a smaller memory footprint.

All fun things, but they will take some time.

Size shrinks, bugfixes, stuff and things

Just some general updates. Memory management is improved on Power Manager and Home Button, those will see updates when the time is right. SoftGlow is in the works and is coming along very nicely. The FAB is in, the notification is new and shiny, and the Navigation Drawer is also a thing. A cool thing. Neato.

Later gators.

Lots of little things

Over the past couple of days lots of small updates have been popping out the door. Power Manager was patched 3 times or so, and a new Home Button version just came out as well. pstate-frequency was also rewritten from scratch to be more extensible and perform cleaner. SoftGlow will be undergoing a major revision, with new features and bug fixing galore, but it will take a while to put out the finished product. I am debating releasing developmental snapshots, but at this time am generally against the idea.

Power Manager updated

Power Manager was updated which fixes a couple of bugs and primes the application for the addition of a couple new features in upcoming releases. One major feature is that a bug is fixed which caused Power Manager to arbitrarily turn off radios. Please update to the newest version, else you will at one point or annother experience this bug.

Am feeling kind of sick, so the progress may slow for the next couple of days.

The Update Cometh

Hopefully Power Manager will be updated in the next couple of days. This will be generally a stability update, which fixes a bug in the power management logic, causing some devices to inappropriately turn off radios when not activated.

Home Button will receive an update to Lollipop compatability and SoftGlow will receive a feature update.

More later.

Bug Tracking

There's a current bug in SoftGlow wh-


I KNOW. I'M SORRY. I'LL FIX IT.

There's a current bug in SoftGlow which sometimes causes it to believe that the overlay is active even when it is not. And inactive when it is. This causes many different overlays to all launch themselves over and over again, effectively making the screen bright red, and anything on it unreadable.

I'll fix it okay.

Power Manager will be receiving an update which gives it a more robust Notification settings page, Overlay settings page, Application settings page, as well as two new features added into it. One will be the ability to run (for the moment) basic power triggers, where the device will be able to automatically switch power plans on the fly when the battery charge reaches a certain percentage. Neato.

The other will be a more robust framework surrounding the ability to toggle the state of varous device features, which will increase app responsiveness. Also less ads.

Also new colors, as well as color theming on the fly, including 5 preset palettes (and hopefully the ability to define your own pallete in the near future).

NEW THINGS. ALL THEM.

Home Button will also be receiving an update.
I know. wow. It will add compatability for Android 21 and will update the visual themes.

NeoSynapse is coming along, but with the recent announcement to allow voice based searches from any application, I feel like its usefullness and its place in the Android ecosystem is becoming smaller. Perhaps it will not serve the functionality that I had once hoped.

The dream. Dream is dead.

Threading NeoSynapse

NeoSynapse is a dynamic application launcher which compiles a list of all launchable applications in the background. As a result, it can take a long time to create this list, which means that for a long time, it is doing nothing. To fix this problem, I have moved the compilation of the list onto a background thread, which leaves the U thread free to access the partially created list and query it for launchable tasks.

Coolio beans.

pstate-frequency got updated today which pushes its version to RC 0.61. With this release comes added support and recognition of the msr module as well as improved turbo control and a smaller memory footprint. Increased performance time (although it should be fast enough already) can also be expected as a result.

Head on over to GitHub and take a look at pstate-frequency, or if you're on Arch Linux, check it out on the AUR.

Lollipop and Power Manager

In Android Lollipop, Power Manager is no longer able to change the system state of mobile data. This reflection API used in previous versions has been removed, and any remaining functionality is reserved for system vendors only. This saddens me greatly, and removes a large piece of fuctionality in the application for all users who will eventually be running on Android versions like Lollipop and upwards. This being said, all other management should continue to work, and mobile data will continue to work on older versions of android. Power Management development will continue and will hopefully become more robust despite the lack of mobile data abilities in new coming version of Android.

Lollipops

So Android 5 Lollipop.

Its a thing.

Its gonna be a thing in like 2 days.

And I'm going to support it in maybe a week or so??

Power Manager will be the first to receive compatibility updates. It will still be the same kind of experience, and will serve to complement Android L's new deep power saving modes.

SoftGlow will support L and its ability to multitask more on the device without getting in the way of user interaction.

Home Button will continue to be a Home button replacement for all those who need it.

The donations will be updated for compatibility, the Pro versions will be updated in line with their Free counterparts, and NeoSynapse will be released from the get go with L supported.

But that [NeoSynapse] won't be of course, until it's done.


Big things are happening soon.

Shorewall

Why Shorewall? Honestly, because it was a name that I saw in the repos.

Cause I'm lazy.

Anywhoo, Shorewall is an iptables firewall frontend, so that's cool.
I think that it will help ease the process and understanding of setting up system firewalls, although one should still know a bit about iptables and general networking.

I recommend that you learn about iptables, the raw iptables userland program and how to use it to set up rules and forwarding and blocking and whatnot. Then, armed with your knowledge, you setup Shorewall to easily maintain your hardened system. The order is important. Don't setup a shorewall instance until you know what it does (or doesn't do). Be safe(r).

News about apps in a couple of days once I sort out a couple of bugs in Power Manager and SoftGlow.

Small update

Power Manager received a tiny feature bump today, which improved general performance in the overlay, but also added the ability to set the period of time for the re-opening interval per radio. While it is a version bump, it was a feature that I was hoping to include in the last version, so this update is really just a way to make Power Manager more feature complete.

Stuff

So yesterday stuff happened. And by stuff I mean that I updated Power Manager with a small feature release, and SoftGlow with a major feature overhaul. Power Manager regained feature parity with the 3 series with the new ability of interval power management. SoftGlow gained a new UI and a better code base to allow for easier addition of features. Small bugs will be ironed out of both and be released in a later bugfix update.

NeoSynapse is coming along, and the fuzzy search algorithm is being refined daily. The application so far is able to support fuzzy searching for Launcher activities and application titles. Package Name searching and increased speed will come next, and hopefully in time for a 1.0 release.

Home Button will recieve a small update to reduce APK size, and I'm thinking of adding support for custom user uploaded icons. We'll see.

Hopefully tomorrow, no guarantees

So

Maybe

Tomorrow?

Maybe?

Updates are slow, but generally they've come along well and I think I'm about ready to come around and release them because they appear to be Stable enough after a couple day's testing. Both of the new releases will use a refreshed GridView object to display the main screens, this should be more intuitive than the Navigation Drawer, which, while neat, is somewhat confusing to a new user.

After this release, a large effort will be put into getting NeoSynapse to production ready form.

Bear with me on this, as this is a long process and much of my resources (time) will be invested into pushing this new application out. For that time, only critical bugfixes will be patched in Power Manager, SoftGlow, and Home Button.

The SoftGlow Pro Key will be updated as well to coincide with the new release of 2.0.0

Shared Data Between Applications

Recently I noted that due to the drastic changes which go between versions 3 and 4 of Power Manager, 1 and 2 of SoftGlow, and heck, even 4.0 and 4.1 of Power Manager itself, that sometimes application settings can get corrupted or set improperly. This will 99 percent of the time not happen, however, for that 1 percent corner case, I have added a small button in the application settings page of each of these applications which will allow you as the user to reset all of the application configurable data. This means timers, preferences, notifications, data, all of it. This will allow you to get the application back to a new state, as if you were installing it for the first time. It is safer and more convenient than resetting the application through the App Manager on our device, because it safely exits the application after usage, making sure that no preferences can be changed before a fresh application instance is opened. It is safer because it only modifies the values in the single application, instead of the App Manager which is configured to apply to more general situations. It does not modify or clear other applications, other preferences or other parts of any application.

Heck its like a 2 line long piece of code.

But hey, its here, for any users you feel that they are experiencing issues after the application updates because of a corrupted preference table perhaps.

Awesome possum.

News and things

Power Manager is nearing another version update, this time to 4.1.1.
This will bring Power Manager to featuer parity with the older 3 series, meaning that you will be able to repoen radios on a set interval. The framework for this is mre robust this time around, and should provide users with an easier and more efficient way to save power while still going about their usual activities.

SoftGlow will almost be ready to be pushed to its 2 series as well, which updates the UI with new features and adds a more robust controlling ability.

NeoSynapse is also arriving at a Stable version that I can deem as 1.0. More news about it will come in the future.

Tiny updates to pstate-frequency dropped the other day as well, which allows the program to work with the cpufreq driver as a fallback. Check it out on GitHub

Licensing Issues

So unfortunately due to problems with the uncertainty of effectiveness in regards to claiming copyright on code that can also be argued as Open Sourced with the Apache License, I have been forced to remove the code for my various Android applications from GitHub as of earlier today. The code, which was uploaded with the intention of helping learning developers understand the general structure of an application, needed to be pulled because in its current state it was unsafe to have the code available as freely as it was.

I am deeply sorrowed by the decision I was forced to make and hope that in the future I will be able to host my sources with the confidence that they will stay under my copyright for the purposes of distribution and production, but be free to the community for learning and studying.

Why GitHub is partial source, not full

EDIT: Please see the post on Licensing Issues.

I am hesitant to upload the full sources for my various Android applications the way I have for pstate-frequency. The Android applications are released under a personal copyright, meaning that I intend to use them as a revenue source at one point or another. To release the full source is to harm my chances of creating real revenue and also opens the door for malicious individuals to patch the function essential parts of my code to do unintended or malicious things and then release the resulting product illegally onto a different market or virtual store. I cannot have this as the safety of my users is paramount to me. If you really wish to view the missing sources, send me an email at pyam.soft@gmail.com, stating what source you wish to view from which application, as well as what your intentions are for viewing the source. You must explicitly state in the email that you do not intend to redistribute, reproduce, or create derivative works using the source if I choose to provide it to you. You must state that you are asking for the ability to view the source purely from an educational point of view, and will not copy or claim any of the code as your own.

I am being careful because it is my job to keep users who do not posses as much knowledge about computer safety out of harms reach. I hope you all understand my reasons. Should the situation change in the future, I may think about uploading the full source once again.

That is not the Way.

You know what guys, I've made my mind up.

I started programming Android supporting API 10. My goal was to learn how to do this new Android thing, create an application that I could use to benefit myself and others, and reach as many people as possible with my work. Never hide behind artificial paywalls. Never hide behind device incompatability. I started programming with Android 10 in mind. And until Android 10 leaves the market I will continue to program with it in mind.

I will not be dropping support for older Android versions at this time. Should the future change and the market become predominantly 4.1+, then I will re evaluate this stance. For now, Android 10 continues to hold about 10 percent of the active market, and I will continue to support it until this number rests at or below three percent.

Retiring old Androids

NOTE: Please see the above post for updates on this announcement.


In the process of development I have come accross many instances where it proved more difficult to backport library functions to run on Android version 10 (and 11 for the 2 percent of the population that run it). It got me thinking about dropping support for older Android versions and moving the base version up to Android 15, which would encompass around 90% of the active Market. Currently my applications reach out to 100% of the active market, but a significant portion of my user base does not come from older Android versions. Dropping support for the older versions would lead to an easier time adding new features to applications and fixing outstanding bugs on devices.

As a note of importance, although I am still thinking about it I am leaning heavily in favor of this decision. If I decide to drop support for <14, then version 4 of Power Manager and version 1 of SoftGlow will be the last ones to support older Android versions. Home Button will not change, and NeoSynapse will most likely not be compatable from the start.

So I've been doing the CSGO a lot.

If you are noticing any problems in the Linux (or Mac OSX) client, please take a look at Valve's issues page on GitHub. Likely, someone else has also had your problem and this is a good way of letting Valve know about the existence of bugs or problems in the client.

I'm on GitHub

So today is a large step in the right direction I feel.

I have at this point uploaded most of my Android projects onto GitHub as source only repositories. As a viewer you are free to read my source code and see how I go about implementing functionality (poorly) into my Android applications. I have not included other build specific files, as this would make the resulting freedom of reproduction dangerous to end users. I am disclosing the source to my applications as a way to promote education and giving new developers a tree to look at and learn from.

As an open source application you are free to view and for the code on GitHub. However, the laws of copyright still hold, and as the sole author of the code I still hold the rights to distribution, production, and all derivative works. You are not allowed to take my source and distribute it else where, claim it as your own, or use it to produce an application of your own. You are free to read it only. It is for learning. Not for money making.

Please do not betray my trust. I have hosted these sources so that other developers may learn as I have through example and testing, trial and error. If I find that my applications have been replublished or reproduced elsewhere, I will not hesitate to pull down all of my Android sources on GitHub. Please note however, that the distribution of my applications is legal on the Google Play Store, as I have willingly and knowingly uploaded them there for the purpose of using the Google Play Store services to distribute them to the public. They are uploaded to the store as non-source packaged blobs.

So in summary.
Source on GitHub.
Reading good.
Learning good.
Copying bad.
Distributing bad.
False Claiming bad.


Google Play Store good.
Every where else bad.

Updates and a note about versioning

pstate-frequency received an update today which includes a new feature: minimum frequency controlling.

Pass the -n or --min option to modify the minimum running frequency of the CPU.

A note about the versioning for pstate-frequency: Beacuse I have not planned any official point releases for pstate-frequency, the versioning is done by checking the current commit number on the Git branch. Yes this is weird, but because the git version is constantly updating, this seems like the easiest way to show whether the version is up to date or not.

SoftGlow is coming along well, I'm experimenting with allowing users to set their own time frame for activating the overlay and at what intensity they wish it to run at. This should be more flexable than the older method of hardcoded time zones.

I've also uploaded two small custom repositories for my own dotfiles and a small bash script to print the current terminal colors. Give them a look.

SoftGlow, Power Manager, and pstate-frequency

SoftGlow is getting better day by day. After the re-write I was able to fully reimplement all previous functionality, unlike the Power Manager rewrite. A couple more weeks will go into adding and stabilizing new features and interfaces before you can expect to see SoftGlow on the store.

Power Manager will be receiving a feature update to add back all of its legacy features that are curently missing (turn on radios or an interval). They were removed because in some cases they went against the Power Manager philosophy to save more battery than it uses.

pstate-frequency received a small update today which makes it fix an error where if the file was first run by root, a small permission error would print out when run by a normal user. In some cases, when root allowed a file to be world readable, this was okay, however, if the root user had a stricter umask, this would lead to a segmentation fault. The update created this file with an explicit world readable mask, so it hopefully will stop a segfault that could have been potentially caused by specific setups.

Also name change. Like it? Don't like it?

GitHub!!

No not for Android, sorry.

But yeah, I tried my hand at programming for Linux. I had a small script I had used personally for a while that was written in bash called pstate-frequency. I decided to re-write the script in C++, to put my classes at university to good use. Later on, I decided one day to try and re-write it in C, in the spirit of Linux.

Now keep in mind I don't know C.

So it was a fun experience. I learned a lot.

And one day I thought, well, because I use this program, maybe someone else would like to have it too.

And thus, GitHub.

Almost imediately I was overwhelmed by GitHub. There are just so many things that I have absolutely no idea about. It really amazes me how much stuff Git is capable of, and all of the functionality that I've just simply never used.

As I was wrapping my head around GitHub, I decided to visit the repository for i7z, a very useful CPU monitor that I've used myself multiple times. From there I found some very useful code that I shamelessly pulled verbatim into my application to dynamically resolve CPU maximum frequencies.

(The code from i7z however, was pulled from another person off of a kernel mailing list it appears, so that's pretty cool as well.)

As a result, I finally had a program that had a chance of working on another person's computer.
It was a strange feeling. Running valgrind and watching it come back clean. Seeing my program in source up on a GitHub repository.

This does NOT mean I'm done with Android. I have too much fun with Android to even think about that. All this means is that occasionally, sometimes, I may upload some non Java code to a GitHub repository. I may occasioanlly make non Android related posts here. Who knows.

For now, I'll leave you with this link to the repository:  pstate-frequency

A list

of bugfixes.

Power Manager

I know, the notification battery is really big on some devices. It will be fixed, by a smaller, more standardized icon. Infact, an entirely new notification.

The main screen displas the large, slightly off colored battery icon. Its old. The screen will become newer and refreshed, just like the overlay and notifcation.

Performance is kinda slow. Gonna patch that up too.

Icons have been refreshed to be better resolution. stuff. you know what I mean please.

Less battery consumption when refreshing screens and updating pages.


SoftGlow is undergoing a major refresh with the visual theming and also the usability of the application. Hopefully this will drop sooner than it took the Power Manager update, because now I know the direction I wish to take with it.

Home Button will receive an update to fix a bug where it doens't start at boot. For now, uncheck the box and recheck it if you want start on boot functionality. Also sometimes Android kills the notification, so I remake them with application level prominence.

NeoSynapse is coming along and I hope to put it into testing usage soon, I need to overcome a couple of major performance issues with the fuzzy searching algorithm however before that can be done.

Quick Update

Power Manager Pro Key and Home Button have both just received updates. These are just bugfix updates, nothing big. SoftGlow is now being updated and refactored as well. I am debating a full rewrite of its code as it is rather slow on performance. We will see as the weeks pan out. I want to push out NeoSynapse as well before too long, so I will have to decide which to do first.

The Happening (it)

It's happening everybody. The update dropped literally just now. It's on the store. Go cray.

Yes after months of waiting the Stable version of Power Manager 4.0.1 has just hit the store! Grab your kids! This version brings numerous bug-fixes, performance improvements, yada yada, and all that jazz. I have reduced the permission requirements from a whopping 17 or so to only 11 ( that means I removed 6 un-needed ones). Security was increased, performance and memory footprint is better (hopefully no more context leaks) and its gota fresh coat of paint. Woohoo! The Pro version will be updated shortly but fear not, you can still use Power Manager with the old Pro Key!

In a couple of days your Play Store client should inform you of this update. Pick it up, show it to your friends, all that fun stuff. I worked hard on this one everybody.

I did it for you all.

For you.

Especially.

Updating the Pro Key

With the changes to Power Manager, the Pro Key has also been changed to accomodate the new system by which it handles processing the presence of the key. The Power Manager application must be closed using the "Back" button and the Pro Key must then be opened in order for the Power Manager application to recognize its "Pro" status. Any users of the Power Manager Pro version are encouraged to upgrade the Pro version when the update to Power Manager drops in the coming weeks.

All the Things

Rewrite all the Ad implementations! Or rather rewrite the one implementation which worked and was since copied over to all the other applications. Apperantly, it was ugly. Not bad, jut ugly.

So I made it prettier.

Kind of like Biggest Loser except with Java code and things.

Wouldn't be a very entertaining show I don't think, but what do I know.

I'm just a programmer.

More news tomorrow maybe, but the busy schedule I have currently is making it not look as possible to update tomorrow. We will see though.

Oh my

So I noticed today that for whatever reason, there were like, 4 ads crammed into the side bar on this page. So I removed them. The ads are placed in better areas which are less obtrusive and should hopefully allow for smoother, more enjoyable browsing of the site. But if you don't like them, you're always free to install an Adblocker or Script blocker to remove them. I recommend NoScript and AdBlock Plus (uncheck the non-intrusive whitelist) for FireFox and µBlock with HTTP SwitchBoard for Chrome. Other browsers I'm not too familiar with, so you'll have to explore on your own.

New Projects Layout

I know. I'm lazy, I know.

Remember a long time back when I posted a changelog? That was a while back now.
Well I'm not posting one yet, but what I did do is revamp the projects page to show the current development status of all of my applications, both released and not released currently.

Oh and by revamp, I mean the page existed before. I just never placed in on the front screen so there was no way for anyone to view it.

Yeah.

Woops.

Some updates and why you shouldn't remove init.

Progress is coming along a bit slower than expected, so I apologize for that. The Power Manager update is STILL waiting on the Google Play Services update, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. I dunno. SoftGlow is now getting looked at, and Home Button has been rewritten to completion. NeoSynapse is still active but is for the moment taking a back seat to the neccessary rewrites and updates for the earlier applications. Hopefully expect to see the updated versions drop soon.

In other news, I recently removed the systemd-sysvcompat package from my Arch system. As a result, well, GRUB wasn't able to find my init. So after some panic, I learned that if you add

init='/usr/lib/systemd/systemd' to your kernel command line, GRUB will be able to init again like normal. This is because, atleast on Arch, to my understanding the init binary acts simply as a symlink to systemd. Who knew.

Anyways don't go digging around and pulling stuff out of base unless you're willing to freak out and put in the sweat to learn why stuff doesn't work the way it should sometimes.

Performance and Memory

Over the past couple days of programming I have looked at and debugged many of the ways that applications go about creating the interfaces which users interact with to get certain jobs done. Looking over code in Power Manager, I found a couple of instances where a contextual activity was leaked and held in code until the application was killed. This memory leak was minor, as the context only was able to point to one object, but the fact that it was arguably continually accessed would lead to large memory consumption in the future. Currently on my testing device, the Power Manager application reports that it uses 4.0 MB of RAM when the interface is not in the foreground. It uses 20 when in a  foreground state. This is a large improvement from before where the application used a consistant 36 or so MB all the time. SoftGlow has undergone some code improvements to bring its background state down to a mere 2MB. Home Button is also down to only 3 MB background. Along with memory management improvements, code refactoring has led to perforamnce imprvements in almost all instances. The only time I would expect to not see improvement is when applications are being installed/uninstalled and you are trying to use the overlay. The uninstall process almost locks up all threads because of its massive use of resources when it comes to removing APKs from the system. So sorry if performance suffers if you try to use the overlay while uninstalling that 5GB game you just downloaded.

Still waiting on that GPS update to drop before I begin the process of uploading new packages.

Waiting

So the Power Manager update is basically done. There are a couple more small functionality things to re-implement, but essentially we're ready to go. What isn't ready to go yet though is Google Play Services. An updated version dropped a couple of days back (or so it reports) and will constantly pop up to remind the user that they should update their Play Services APK. Only there is no update available for Play Services at the moment. Because Power Manager (and frankly, all of my applications) use GPS to serve Ads to users (which is my main source of revenue and keeps me happy knowing people support me and my applications), it is of utmost importance that GPS is ready to go as well before the update goes live. The last thing a user would want to do is open the update and be unable to access any settings.

Speaking of settings, the reason why they are so important this update, is because I'm sorry. This update, 4.0.0, breaks backwards compatibility with older existing versions. It's that different. Yes I'm sorry, this means that every user will need to go through the application and reset his/her settings to what each person prefers using. However the increased speed and performance smoothing of the application will be well worth it I promise. Plenty of performance issues, small security implementations, and general usability issues have been fixed in the 4.0.0 update. I'm sorry its taken so long. Please be patient, as I'm only one person and can only work so fast.

SoftGlow will be receiving a revamp as well, it needs to be fixed for performance and other implementations. Home Button will be seeing minor patches as well (though likely not a large version bump like Power Manager or SoftGlow). And the new application, NeoSynapse, is being written with the changes in the Android ecosystem in mind. It is being engineered for security and performance in first class priority.

More announcements to come later, but for now its just a game of waiting.
I thank each and every one of you who uses any of my applications for being patient and understanding with me in this current busy time. I will make you all happy, I promise.

For Realz.

I just rewrote Power Manager.
Like all of it.

Why? Why you ask?  Why would I announce it complete and ready for release last week and then go about rewriting it? Because oh my memory leaks thats why. A large portion of the application was leaking a bad context which I basically built the entire application on. Now this wasn't too big of a deal if you exit the application through the back button, but for those of you who just press the Home button, Power Manager leaked endlessly. Never enough to run out, but hey. Only quality stuff here. I also used the rewrite to redesigned the manager and now it is able to save state through process kills. What used to happen is while your phone was turned off, if Android decided to kill the process, when you turned your phone back on, all of the radios would be stuck off. With the new method of storage, I am happy to say that Power Manager will still turn your device radios back on, even if you turn the screen off, kill all of the radios, lose device power, and turn the phone back on 2 days later. It should also be faster and more quickly responsive, and should consume less memory while running.

In the coming days I plan to do a reqrite of SoftGlow as well since that it a smaller and hopefully better laid out application. Progress may appear slow, but it is steady.

About Android L. For those who have downloaded the preview, I do not plan to support L while it is in preview. My main focus is on stability and performance in my applications, features and visual glitter come second to me. L will be supported rest assured, but only once its images leave preview and can be declared Stable.

Upgrading Things and Things being Upgraded

Power Manager is updated and ready to go, all I need to do is create new Images and Icons to go with the new WHITE theme.
But that's hard and it takes a long time shmang.
But I'll do it.
I'll do it for you guys.
All like 7 of you who actually see this content. Woohoo You!!

SoftGlow has been updated for performance fixes and a safer, less intrusive scope. Home Button has been updated, and all of these changes reflect the new hope for compatability with Android L. The Android L update will drop once the image is no longer declared a developer preview, but rather a stable, working image.

The new launcher project is different from conventional Android launchers, as it hopes to be, and takes inspiration from the old launcher for Linux based environments called Synapse. Synapse is a piece of software that I use on a very regular basis. It runs to launch all of my programs as soon as I log in. Its cool. Hopefully this app will be cool too.

More updates in later days. Updates updates.

UPDATES.

SoftGlow Updates! oh. And other things too.

SoftGlow received a visual update as well as a tiny functionality change today. The visual update has improved the layout of the application, and it splits the functionality from one simple list to various pages which are dedicated to different types of options or customization. SoftGlow is performing smoother as a result of this, and the ability to hide the notification has also been added.

A new project, with no real working name has been added into the list of potential workings. I look to have it being a persistent launcher which does not get in the way of the user, and allows any application to be launcher from anywhere using the same kind of mechanism which runs Power Manager's overlay. this will allow more useability to switch between open applications, or even launch new instances of applications, even from inside full screen games or high priority applications. A debugging build has already been created as a proof of concept using the same underlying engine as Power Manager, and I will say that the idea is working very smoothly. I look forward to working more on this idea over the coming weeks, however personal vacation and other issues may slow the potential development for a couple of days.

Oh Android

You would think that because developers make applications for Android, that the ecosystem would be standardized enough so that if I cast a seqeunce of Characters into a String, and it doesn't throw an error in plain Java that Android will be fine too. And it is. Except when you're device implementation of casting from CharSequences to Strings sometimes crosses through an Android SpannableString interface. In which case you can't cast that to a String. So you get bugs, and crashes. And one poor soul on a Galaxy S3 build who has this problem who just can't for the life of hi/her open the Radio interface to set settings. Because Android bugs out in an area that it works fine for almost everyone else. Why Android.

Hopefully the bug has been fixed up so that the interface I've designed can be used by the people suffering from a casting error on my part. Hopefully Android will slowly but surely become more standardized so that a SDK distributed to all developers will be expected to work on one, and work on all devices. Also a null ointer has been addressed in the overlay which should hopefully fix the problems for those people encountering bugs in there.

Hope. Just a fool's hope.

Here's whats up.

Well the temperature where I live.

Also a couple of stocks are doing okay.

But mainly, whenever the device boots up, the performance of the overlay for the first couple seconds is ABYSMAL. Now unfortunately, I can't do all that much about this. The device is booting so naturally priority is placed on getting processes started, not necessarily performance. However, I did make some changes in offloading the heavy logic process for where the current touch is, and what button (if any) it is touching, to a background async task and I will say, the performance has improved over all. Visually it may still feel the same, but the over all response of the overlay is now smoother. I've also pushed the actual Power Manager functionality to a background thread which in theory should reduce the time needed to resume the device from sleep, which is a problem that commonly has plagued the application.

I've also worked on improving the response time for SoftGlow and its startup, as well as the performance of the overlay once you call it online. This is because instead of process all of the heavy loading on the UI thread, I've pushed it to the background so that the only result you see, is the result you care about: your device becoming tinted with a nice mellow glow.

Also, game loops. They're being programmed too. Maybe. Can't say. Shouldn't say. Just said.

Really big battery

Users using the newest Power Manager update may notice that there is a gigantic battery in the overlay which stops them from using the overlay features. This is because I am bad and forget to test against small screen devices. For now, please disable the battery percentage display if you encounter this issue. Many apologies in advance, the bug has already been fixed upstream and I look forward to releasing the fix along with the other related performance updates.

Performance Updates

Doing a performance update for Power Manager and SoftGlow. They should perform about 50% better and consume less memory over all. Hopefully this refactoring doesn't take too long, as there are visual theme updates I'd like to begin tackling as well. But all in good time.

Non-Kernel related Oops.

Woopsie, published the wrong Power Manager version.

Yeah stuff happens. What you are receiving if you download the current 3.2.6 version is a Debug build, which wasn't meant for the average user. A 3.3.1 version proper has been uploaded, please download and enjoy that one instead. I apologize for the mixup.

Power Manager.

Power Manager updates.

I've got it, and soon you will too, woohoo!

Changes include:
- Lots of code refactoring for improved performance
- Disabled the widget for a bit as it was unstable and not very helpful as a result
- Added additional settings to the overlay like the ability to control the size of the activator, as well as display a battery icon and a quick shortcut to the Power Manager application (All optional of course)
- Added the ability to hide the notification from the notification bar! Wow!


Power Manager along with all of the other applications will be undergoing a visual upgrade in the coming months. Stay tuned for Android L !

So Android L.
Big changes are coming to the Android OS, and P.Yam Software is going to be there to see them through. Important things related to Power Manager include the new job scheduler and improved built in power management. The screen plans based on time of day may also mean some changes for SoftGlow as well. Home Button should remain largely unchanged.

Hi Atoos

Back from a long, 2 weeks away from the internet, and essentially the modern world.

So yes, I went on a cruise. Where the internet is expensive, slow, and pay per minute.


But hey guess what! I worked long and hard hours updating and fixing bugs in Power Manager, SoftGlow, Home Button, and an undisclosed application which I haven't yet decided on a name for! Woohoo!

Power Manager is seeing usability and visual fixes, as well as additional options added in certain areas. For one thing, the dynamic overlay which provides easy access to radio toggles has been updated to run smoother and also received its own configuration page separated from the general settings. The Power Manager widget has been temporarily disabled as I work through fixing the bugs present in older versions of Android that occur when closing the main application.

Home Button received a small memory upgrade in an attempt to shrink the footprint of the application.

SoftGlow is receiving preliminary profile support, as well as more robust options for setting manual overrides at certain times of day.

Also a notification problem present in all three applications which forces them to run in memory foreground has been located, an I am currently working on a proper fix even as I type this. Hopefully that will be finished in the next couple of weeks. The updates will take longer this time around, since I'm hoping to drop off all three of the updated applications on the store at one time, but seeing as Power Manager is the one which requires to most work, you may see a couple early updates drop in the store a couple of weeks earlier than others.

Overall, the past two weeks of almost no activity on this blog have actually been rather productive for me. Hopefully I can keep you all in the loop much better as things go on, but for now, we must deal with what we have.

Stuffffff

Released that promised Power Manager update today, hopefully you'll see it on the store in a couple of hours. Generally fixed some stability issues, refactored a part of the code that deals with ads and loading them efficiently. Hopefully I'll be able to push out a long deserving update to SoftGlow as well sometime next week.

So

So currently there is a regression in Power Manager where the dynamic overlay does not return to the original location in some instances. I have fixed this problem and are testing it, expect the fix to land in a couple of days on the market. Also expect SoftGlow profile support to come soon as well as Power Manager brightness and volume control.

And new things. Expect new things too.

Turn Down For

Updates.

You're turning down for updates.

Power Manager finally got a clean fix to the crash solution, the hope is that this new solution is more stable on all types of devices. Older devices may still hang randomly, because such is the nature of the beast of droid. The next update down the line will be for SoftGlow, to fix a problem with the tinting sometimes failing to complete. More news will be sure to come in the near future.

Ho. Lee. Crepe.

It's almost as if, on a whim, I just decided to select almost all of the posts on this blog and archive them away on a different page. It's almost like I'm trying to make some changes around here, and instill a new kind of update into the blog. It's almost like I'm trying to go out with the old and in with the new, where the new is shorter and more frequent, and the old was long and rambling.

And old.

And no longer here for some reason.

Updates!

Let me preface this by saying, I'm sorry.


The updates ended up taking a lot longer than I had hoped (read: 1 month + ). I apologize profusely to the users who's day to day activities were riddled with crashes and non-responding applications because of my inability to quickly fix the problems in my application. But with that said, an update has just been pushed to the store which should fix the crashes and hanging caused by the application bug in Power Manager, as well as a rarely occurring one in SoftGlow. I have no estimated date for the release of the Home Button update, but I am working diligently on it, rest assured.

Bug!

It has come to my attention that there is a bug in Power Manager which can cause the application to hang without ever properly crashing or stopping. This is caused when the overlay is active and the display is changed from portrait to landscape or vice versa. A fix is in the works, but for the time being, I recommend that users either do not use the overlay function, or (perhaps less durastic) refrain from changing the display while the overlay is active if possible.

Thank you, and I apologize for the problems you may encounter. A fix is in the works; look to see it in the coming weeks.

Surprisingly enough, the move to Android Studio was successful and already completed. In fact, a new bug fix version for SoftGlow was posted up just yesterday! Who knew!

Well now that the move to Android Studio has finished, I need something else to fill the time.

Maybe I'll move from Arch Linux to Gentoo.

Maybe..

Moving

Development may slow for a bit in the next couple of weeks, the shift from Eclipse to Android Studio for development is going to take a bit of time. One nice thing however, is that Arch Linux holds the Android Studio package in the AUR.
