In between losing at Super Smash Brothers Melee and losing at Counter Strike Global Offensive I also lose at Android programming.
PadLock:
- Added option to not show the lock screen if an activity is shown on the lock screen. This will prevent constant activity loops in things like the Camera on newer devices, and other applications which are able to show their contents while the device is locked.
- Added a screen to show any old applications which were once locked but are now uninstalled. The user can select to purge these old applications individually, or all at once.
Power Manager
- Does not toggle data if airplane mode is on
- Root users will be able to toggle Airplane Mode automatically. Airplane mode will be an exclusive toggle, which means that the user has the option to make it so that Power Manager only controls airplane mode. Airplane mode and Doze can both be managed in parallel even though both are exclusive toggles.
Other miscellaneous fixes.

Updates, but wait!
Updates have been pushed for pyamsoft Android applications.
Well, they were pushed last night. For whatever reason, I have been waiting for the entire day for Google to process (or reject :( ) the recent updates but for the past almost 24 hours there has been no progress. While this is not a problem per se, it has never taken Google so long to process a couple of my applications, especially seeing as they processed application betas within minutes.
Anyway, should be coming soon. It may be a result of the recent DDOS attacks that have been ongoing.

pyamsoft open beta
pyamsoft applications are now in Open Beta on the Play Store. Note that most of the time, the beta builds released will be close to, if not exactly the same as the release builds. Beta channel builds are used as a final checking mechanism to run through some automated tests and make sure the publishing works well.
To join the beta for a pyamsoft application, visit the store page for the application you wish to join up on. You should see a beta link near the bottom of the page.

Why does it show pyamsoft applications have Ads in the Play Store?
The more observant of you may have noticed that the pyamsoft applications show up in the Play Store with the "Contains Ads" banner. Rest assured, there are no advertisement networks in place in any current pyamsoft application, nor will there ever be.
The label was added to comply with Play Store policies about the inclusion of advertisements. The banner at the bottom of pyamsoft applications by default can be technically deemed an advertisement, even though it does not connect you to an advertising network, nor does it reward me should any user choose to view, or interact with the advertisement.
For those who are curious, the code for advertisements in pyamsoft applications is freely available for viewing and modification on GitHub in the PYDroid library. Note that the advertisements shown in pyamsoft applications are optional, you can choose to turn them off via the settings and never see them again. They only advertise other pyamsoft applications, they do not talk to the Internet. Clicking on an advertisement will only open the Play Store link for that application, nothing more.
For those who are concerned about the presence of advertisements, you are free to modify the source to remove the code entirely (see AdvertisementActivity). If you do not have the programming understanding to do so, rest assured that the Settings toggle to turn off advertisements will always be respected should you choose to do so.

General updates all over the place
Updates today, lots of em.
All of the APKs have been updated with a smaller size and a fix for donation processing. If, in the past, you received a donation related error message, please try again with the new APK version. It "should" be fixed.
Crashes and other general bugs were fixed, couldn't catch everything this time around but I figured this update was important enough to push out with most things addressed. I will be going back to fix the remaining issues that I am aware of later on.

Some Progress
Power Manager had some fixes recently committed:
- Allows the ROOT user to toggle mobile data if they grant super user permission on Android Lollipop and higher.
- Fixes a bug where the data display would only update when the total device network connection changed.
- Improves visibility of overview sections.
PadLock had some fixes committed as well:
- Removes the strict number of LockScreenActivity instances. Previously it was limited to two, but to better support complete freeform windowing, this restriction has been removed. This will generally only affect users on Android N and above, other users should not notice much difference if any.
The media player application announced yesterday got the following changes as well:
- Control media playback from an Android Wear device
- Control media playback from media notification
More later.

Here's What's Happening
ok.
so.
Power Manager:
- Fixed a crash when scrolling too fast on the Manage screen
- Cleanup code for Power Triggers, should silence an annoying message and allow for faster trigger creation.
- Fixed buggy management handling when searching for valid Wearable devices
- Square images in the overview.
- Smaller APK size
- More tests
- Reset the 'Start on Boot' setting when clearning the application settings
PadLock:
- Fixed an issue that pops up on Android N causing the lock screen to launch over and over again.
- Fixed an issue which could cause the LockInfoDialog to crash
- Lower memory usage
- Smaller APK size
- More tests
Home Button
- Smaller APK size
Pasterino
- Clear the service when clearing all settings
- Smaller APK size
WordWiz
- Show the changelog on demand
- Smaller APK size
ZapTorch
- Fixed a torch bug on API <21 devices
- Smaller APK size
- Clear service when clearing all settings
SoftGlow
- Tint the screen based on the time of day or the current amount of light in the room.
And, for something new, a media player.
It's just a simple media player, doesn't need the internet and can quickly and easily load all of the tracks from your device local storage. I created this after getting fed up because of a certain other music player which refused to load the local media library when there is no network connection (Why you need internet to load the local media library, I'll never know). After days of frustration and trying to fix the other media player, I gave up and angrily created my own. It turns out that it's "not bad" but I recognize that it may not fit every person's listening patterns. More on this in the future.
No updates yet, as I'm still cleaning things up. But just know that all of the work is still alive and kicking.
