First release, no ads, full function.
Description [menu]
If you face any of the following:
- your android app icons are scattering all over your multi pages screen
- you have to swipe left and right many time to find a certain app
- you are desparately out of control of where things are.
- you want a shortcut or link panel that allow you to launch a favourite website, open a favourite document or ebook, call or send sms or email to frequent contacts
- you want to adjust ring or media volume with exactly just one move of your finger
Then START PANEL is the right tool for you
With Start Panel, you can organize apps into group tabs and launch any app easily from a launch panel that appears upon touching a start icon.
One-touch mode is absolutely convenient : keep your finger touched and swipe to the desired function on the panel, when releasing the finger the desired app will launch (or the desired action will be performed)
The start handle can be positioned anywhere on screen that you want. If it is located near an edge it will be docked along that edge as a thin bar for easy swiping out.
MAIN FUNCTION
Start Panel works like a Start Menu, with app groups being shown in customizable tabs.
Start Panel handles 4 kinds of content: applications, file shortcuts, link shortcuts, and command actions.
Besides categorizing applications for easy launching / starting, you may also create shortcuts to any file or folder on your device and put them onto Start Panel for easy starting/opening.
You may also create url links and put onto Start Panel for quick access: web url, sms compose url with ready-filled recipients, phone call url to any phone number, email compose url with ready-filled recipients. With these links on Start Panel, all your frequent actions/most favourite contacts are just one touch away.
System command actions are also made for your convenient use: turn-off screen, screen orientation setting, switch flashlight on and off, launch calculator app, launch calendar app, open system setting panel, start google assistant (Android L+), pull down notification bar, take a screen shot (Android M+), launch camera app, adjust media volume and ring volume, go back, go home, open recent applications screen.
PERMISSIONS
For functional purposes of Start Panel, following permissions may be requested at appropriate circumstances:
- Appear on top: Start Panel must be granted with this permission to show the Start Handle and the Start Panel (this is essential for Start Panel to work)
- Storage access: in case you want to post your screen shots onto Gallery, you should allow this. This also enhances file shortcut creation function because you can then access more places on your storage when creating file shortcuts
- Do not disturb mode: in case you want to adjust ring volume to low level
- Start Panel accessibility service: this should be turned on for following things: pull down notification bar, navigating back (for use with a browser), open recent apps screen
- Device Administrator: in case you want to lock the screen with admin lock function. Note that this permission need to be turned off before force stop or uninstall Start Panel
- Make phone calls: this is used when you want to make a phone call from a Start Panel phone call link.
- Access phone book: in case you want to add people from phone book into phone call link or sms compose link
- Camera : this is to activate flash light in old android devices
- Start at boot time: this is to auto start Start Panel if you want to
Enjoy START PANEL !
