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.

I Got that

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 !

Omigad

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.
More announcements when L is released.

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.

...Sorry

I know, I know.
The bug is still present.

I apologize.

I'm trying my best, really I am. I just need to sort out a couple of lines of code and it should be at least stable enough to not break every other time. Power Manager is also undergoing updates to its icon set, and SoftGlow is going to receive a fix soon for a problem with the notifiction not activating on some devices.
