Qucker Switching

I have finished adding all initial features to QuickSwitch. Currently, the application has a primitive material design implemented, including some new animations, usage of the elevation API, and the new Floating Action Button. Content is regrettebly limited at the moment, as I wanted to focus on pushing out a stable application rather than one which was packed with similarly buggy features. The application can handle locking the screen, simulating the Home button, changing the audio, display brightness, and various device radios all with the touch of a button. The application supports hiding to the notification bar on a long press, and stickies to edges of the screen for unobtrusive access.

Further improvements will be: torch support for quick access to flashlight like usage, placing individual switches (like locking the screen or changing display brightness) into the notification bar for those who do not enjoy the Overlay, reducing the memory footprint of the application, and essentially trying to replace as much of the physical button and otherwise based interaction with a software replacement.

Essentially: the road map for QuickSwitch will be to release small incrememntal upgrades to the application over a long period of time in the hope to create the most useful button toolset replacement possible.

Ambitious, to say the least.

AUR4

The AUR4 became accessible to developers today so I have just finished the porting of all of my currently mainated pacages over to it. These packages are as follows:

pstate-frequency
pstate-frequency-git
steam-wrapper
steam-wrapper-git

Any other packages that may have once been mine should now be considered orphaned as I have either no time to maintain them, or no will to do so.

I am also hoping to release QuickSwitch soon to the Market, but some theming complications and a conflict over the direction of the application, have so far prevented me. I will update again when I have deliberated on the proper application for QuickSwitch.
