App touchscreen control like iHome on iPhone

Hi all,
I'm finding an app that can use touchscreen to control some features (such as suspend, restart, ... like iHome on iPhone); do you know it?
Thank you
- mQuickDo is a virtual home and power button making use of gestures to easily operate your iPhone or iPod Touch.
- By making use of the (trigger function) of iPhone and iPod Touch, mQuickDo will help you operate iPhone and Touch easily, like exit a program, reboot or power off, switch or quit a task, mute or hang up the incoming call, etc. It will protect "Home"and "Power" button at a high degree, extend the life of your iPhone or Ipod Touch.It's surely worth a shot!

I don't know the apps for the iPhone. But if you want to do some remotejobs on your PC, then try gmote. Else maybe a vnc client would be good. Everything could be found on the market.

oh thank but i don't talk about remote
I just want to control features (such as reboot, suspend) by tapping the touchscreen, not press buttons

Try BetterCut. You can create custom shortcuts ("Make Your Own" option) that launch advanced activities, including rebooting the phone. Creating such shortcuts is not very user-friendly though. You will need advanced familiarity with Android OS. I recommend googling for a guide or how-to for creating the shortcuts you need.

It's not the best but it's ok to use for a few hours. Try ADW Launcher... now that's a nice piece of work!

LauncherPRO... if only it were more like Home++ - in SOME ways!
Greetings.
I, too, enjoy the SPEED of this app, over and above most else. Over the past 6 months, I have sampled most of the major app launcher programs on the market - both free ans well as paid, and this is hands down the fastest/smoothest around.
Now, if only it had the FEATURES that Home++ has, as THAT program/app ALREADY HAS such great features as a task bar icons that can not only be slid back and forth - horizontally, but you can pick and choose which ones you want to use/show. Furthermore,if you are in the "app library", and decide to remove one, when you hold down the icon - you get a prompt to remove it. A similar option is featured, when you are running an app, and just want to close it/turn it off, you simply hold down the lower left "return" button... and it closes, freeing up system memory. There are MANY more features in this home launcher, too.
I know, you're saying, "Well - if Home++ is 'all that' - why not just use it?" I would - if it wasn't so dang slow - for example, when I select to use the dial pad, it takes nearly 15 to 22 seconds to appear on the screen; really. After all, this IS a PHONE...! What's more, Home++ seems to be FC'ing nearly ALL the time, forcing home launch restarting... on my outta-the-box, non-rooted Motorola DROID... running version 2.1.1 I truly like Home++, but the developer of same hasn't done anything with it for well over a month, nor has he or she been receptive to any emails. So, it looks like our LauncherPRO may be the next Holy Grail of apps - if it can incorporate the features that made Home++ so popular!
I'll be MOST eager to see what is next...!

cant find it in the market

I was getting annoyed with being in an app and pressing home and constantly getting the "sense" previews. So i disabled pressing home-button to bring up previews in the app. If any of u share my issues, heres the fixed launcher.

Wait... a 'fixed' launcher..? There's a setting to change the home button action to navigate to the default home screen instead of opening sense.

Pretty nifty, but I must mention Zeam
I actually spotted it after being left unsatisfied with launcher pro.
It's pretty unique compared to most, very slick and speedy. Give it a shot, it's free

Yea even with tht option, anytime id press home, it would take me to my homescreen but the previews would still popup. A couple of other ppl had the same issues so i just removed the binding of home button to bring up sense previews from his code.

ADW is the bomb
You can choose what you want the home key to do in ADW. I've only donated to a few developers. Anderweb is definitely high on my list.
Also, I couldn't resist
There is no place like home...

VTL.Launcher

I just found this launcher and I love it.
Here is a shot of it on my NS4G

}
From the maker:
This Launcher is designed with landscape tablets in mind! (that’s not to say it doesn’t also function well in portrait mode….. as it does)
First off this launcher is based on ADW.Launcher’s Source code so I would like to thank anderweb for all the ground work. Most ADW Themes will work for VTL.Launcher.
Features Include:
- tablet layout optimized (smaller screens will need to play with desktop layout and dock icon size)
- elastic scrolling
- 3 individually configurable/toggleable scrollable dock bars
- individual controls per dock for background/reflection/visibility/icon size
- icon size for docks can be set different per orientation
- user folders to place shortcuts to apps, bookmarks, contacts, etc.
- icon changing for user folders and apps.
- quick action items menu when long pressing apps, folders and widgets.
- catalogs for organizing apps in the app drawers
- swipe actions on app drawer to navigate catalogs
- uncataloged catalog where new and uncatagorized apps fall
- 1 to 7 homes screens with sense-like previews
- configurable action bindings (swipe up, swipe down, home button)
- long hold uninstall from trashcan
- moveable trashcan location
- hide home screen icon labels
- auto rotate orientation
- system persistence with configurable locked orientation
- widget size spanning
- scrollable widget support
- live wallpaper support
- fullscreen mode
- backup/restore settings
- compatible with “most” ADW Themes
This should work on virtually any device. Though non large screen devices may have issues with the layouts so you will have to play with the desktop column, row numbers, dock sizes etc.

Version from his web is probably ok, I didn't actually try it. But before, I bought it from the market (version on the market is little bit newer 1.7.0 to 1.6.5), now can't download it from the market anymore.
I guess 1.6.5 will be running pretty fine on my phone, there were just some minor fixes in 1.7.0, but I am just not sure if I want launcher with stopped development...

Hello Xda!
This is my new app DeskBar Launcher. It creates a bar at the bottom of the screen of your Android device and can even replace your virtual buttons Home, Recent Apps and Back. Back button needs root for the moment but soon accessible with no root for all 4.1+ devices). If you have physical buttons or want to keep your stock ones, there's an autohide option much like bar you can find on Windows, Linux, etc.
Features :
-add shortcuts to your favorite apps on the bar or in the StartMenu
-can replace your virtual buttons (optional Menu button will need root. Back button too except if you have Android 4.1+)
-music controllers to pause/go to next/previous song in any apps
-volume controllers
-lock button to minimize accidental input of your bar and soft buttons
-(Experimental)(ROOT) Fullscreen button
-access all your apps in StartMenu as well as categories such as Pictures, Music, Settings, etc.
-launch search, lock screen or shutdown(ROOT) your device from the StartMenu
-Customize the appearance of your bar and menu.
Future features:
-Folders
There's a 10days-trial version available here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stephapps.deskbar
And the license key at $2.49 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stephapps.deskbarkey
Don't hesitate to post all your questions, suggestions, or if you encounter any problem!

Hello a big update (1.2) is coming, Here's the changelog:
Change log 1.2
-added optional menu button
-added search button and power button in startMenu( lock screen, (root) shutdown/reboot )
-added new customization tab in options for deskbar, startmenu, startButton
-added default icons for first time launch
-fixed bug with icons not sizing correctly sometimes in startMenu
-added personalized shortcuts in startMenu.
-bugfixes including the ones reported.
Can't wait to see what some of you will do with the new customization options (which might be buggy for the moment, this feature is kind of beta right now) , don't hesitate to post pictures if you have some cool results! :laugh:

Wow nice work!

Thanks guys,
I'm working on a white theme but I have no idea for other themes :silly:.
Hey let's have a little contest. Submit your custom theme (no copyright stuff please), and if it's selected to be inserted into the app, you'll have an unlimited trial :laugh: (similar to a paid version, I have sadly no easy way to directly give away the paid version ) and your name in the app credits of course.
What's needed:
-background for Deskbar
-background for the StartMenu
-2 images for pressed and normal StartButton states.
You might need to use 9patch for the 2 first ones.

I absolutely love this app! This is exactly what I have been looking for! If I may recommend some features for in the future, I prefer to have half of the bar so I can access my notifications, but it's difficult to reach the navigation icons in the middle. Could there be an option to have them appear under the start menu above the lock screen button? I'm also curious if the applications on the bar could be changed from shortcuts to the most recent apps. That might not be possible, but it would be a very useful feature as there already is a quick shortcut option under the start menu. Love your work and I'm excited to see the direction of this app!

Hello, thanks for your nice feedback!
You're the second person to ask for the virtual buttons to be in the start menu, so I think I will try to add it soon.
For recent apps, it won't be easy to add it to the bar. In start menu it will be easier but might be less interesting.

When selecting "pictures" under the start button on my gt-p3113 and Galaxy S3 the gallery starts to open but then crashes with the message "unable to find item". This happens regardless of the default gallery I choose. Other than that id just like to say I really love this app. With ubuntu style sidebars getting a lot of attention lately I feel this needs equal if not more and I will recommend this to everyone. Keep up the great work! Also I think it would be nice if users could adjust the amount of time it takes for the bar to disappear and perhaps the option for the bar to stay until the user decides to swipe it away.

How is this uninstalled? When i deactivate from Google Play it does nothing, nor can i uninstall from apps manage?
Tried to remove this from device admin, but it doesn't appear there, so no way to uninstall

You enabled the administrative mode to allow the app to lock the screen on demand. You need to disable this lock screen feature first to be able to uninstall (as stated when you tick the option).

Beta question
is there a beta apk where some feature are in beta are tested?
if so, I would like to help test the beta version.

Very nice app, using it on my Samsung Galaxy player running Gingerbread 2.3, which has no virtual nav keys. I can't find any option in settings to disable the autohide function, so I can keep the bar on screen. Am I missing something here, or is it because the Galaxy Player doesn't actually have its own soft keys and a nav bar?
Would certainly like to purchase this app, if I can get the bar to stop autohiding.
EDIT: Well, I installed deskbar on my Touchpad and the option to disable autohide is there. So, it looks like for some reason, it doesn't show up on my Galaxy Player 4.0 running Gingerbread 2.3.
Thanks,
Mike T

Is development still going on?
I contacted the dev but didn't get any answers yet.

can't find it
The app is no longer in google play. does anyone know where I can download it?

The application run a programs by using preassigned recognition of gestures - with start point on field of button, following the shape moving of the finger- example (using vector analysis ). It replaces the classic pictograms.
Full Version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.launcher
Lite Version(Small Vectors): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.launcherLite
Launcher - is always displayed on top of other runnable applications in a the transparent of a square highlighted by default red frame - does not interfere with to other programs and reading of text and does not take much space. Battery pack does not consume as in itself does not do anything in the background - just waiting for events onTouch function.
To control the program's earlier opened - opens a list of all running software, where you can quickly switch between them or close them (but only if they work in the background). Also at the top of the list are three buttons: 'Close the program', 'Menu', 'Minimize List'.
For operation of can use eight basic gestures finger movement, with pitch between vector directions 45 degrees, you can also use a combination of vectors in two directions, for example: upward and then left, left - then down, etc.
Of course you can used to bind programs different gestures in the menu configuration (Settings).
In the settings for my application, you can also change the appearance of Best App Launcher shape of fonts. Also there is a 'Excludes Application'-a list of open applications android, or rarely system utilities external services - work as active and which cause an error when you switch to them. Since sometimes fall on the list active of user task, such system utilities can be marked as' Excludes 'so they will not show up of the custom list programs.
Default management Best App Launcher set eight gestures:
1(UpRight) - Open the program settings
2(Right) - Minimize all open Activiti (applications) in the background
3(DownRight) - Close the program
67(Left then UpLeft) - Open the settings menu android
65(Left then DownLeft) - See the screen resolution.
87(Up then UpLeft) - FAST ON/OFF WIFI !
78(UpLeft then Up) - ON/OFF GPS
76(UpLeft then Left) - ON/OFF BlueTooth
Moving Launcher icon on the screen - this is done by dragging a button with delaying of the click on the icon, greater than 2.5 seconds; after removal of retention clicking- icon is positioned at the new location. If pressing the button Best App Launcher was less than 2.5 seconds - then starts the analysis finger motion vectors and the program begin to work search tied to this vector the set configuration (if something is scheduled for this vector).
The program is added to the AutoRun.
In the future I plan to add the ability to display instead pictograms Best App Launcher - of the clock / date, alarm clocks, quick opening the list of take brief notes, exchange rates, quick On/Off GSM Radio Module, ON/OFF AutoRotation and Rotation Screen, encryption Messenger by PGP dual keys and other details and information... at the request of of users - should any arise.

Small update for version - fix some errors. Check please - people : - )
