Release 0.10.0

Clock widget: smaller by default, with a choice of alignment and size
The first version filled its widget with the figures, which the owner found huge. The figures are now measured against the icons: small is half an icon tall, medium (the default) most of an icon, large taller than an icon, with the widget's own height and width as the limit. The owner chooses left, center or right and the size from the widget's edit button. The options are a sheet over the home screen, kept per widget, and each choice shows on the widget at once.

TMCandClaude Fable 5.2	8e6b737894	Clock widget: smaller by default, with a choice of alignment and size The first version filled its widget with the figures, which the owner found huge. The figures are now measured against the icons: small is half an icon tall, medium (the default) most of an icon, large taller than an icon, with the widget's own height and width as the limit. The owner chooses left, center or right and the size from the widget's edit button. The options are a sheet over the home screen, kept per widget, and each choice shows on the widget at once.

TMCandClaude Fable 5.2	31ab0d52e1	Add the Clock widget; the QR code leads to the newest APK Clock is a second widget that comes with the launcher: the time in large light figures and the date under it, written onto the wallpaper in the colour of the icon labels. It follows the phone's 12 or 24 hour setting, updates with the minute, and a tap opens the phone's clock app. Like Pictures it is drawn by the launcher itself and keeps to the box of the icons in its cells. What Pictures and Clock share moved into two places: IconFrame works out that box, and FlexeraWidgets is where Launcher3's widget code asks about the launcher's own widgets. The QR code on the About screen now holds the address of the newest APK, so that scanning it starts the download; the release page's address stays under it for typing. For that address to work, the release script uploads each APK a second time under a name that does not change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.2 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-11-12 15:42:52 +01:00
TMCandClaude Fable 5.2	04e78205dd	Release script: do not take Android's own crash during an APK swap for the app's When the release build is the emulator's home app, Android restarts it while the files are still being replaced, and that start can fail inside ActivityThread.handleBindApplication. The start-up check now waits for the swap to settle, stops the app, and judges a fresh start. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.2 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-11-12 14:57:49 +01:00

TMCandClaude Fable 5.2	fba65e091f	Add quick launch: a swipe past the first or last home page opens a chosen app Swiping on from the first home screen page, towards the page that is not there, now does what the owner chose under Settings, Gestures, Quick launch: open an app, or any other of the launcher's gesture actions. The last page has a choice of its own. The stretch the pages already show at either end is an edge effect; quick launch replaces it with one that also counts how far the finger has pulled. Lifting the finger after a pull of about a seventh of the screen, or after a flick, does the action; a short pull or one that is taken back does nothing. An app opens out of the screen edge the finger pulled from. From Android 12, where the stretch is Android's own. Infinite scrolling takes those swipes for itself, so the two do not combine.

TMCandClaude Fable 5.2	bfc2a0ea36	Ask for local network access when the update server is on the phone's own network On Android 17 an app that targets it may not connect to devices on the local network without the new ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK permission; a blocked connection is dropped and ends as a timeout. At the owner's home the update server's name leads to its address on the home network, so the check for updates failed there with "did not answer" while the same server answered every other device. The updater now recognises this case before it connects (Android 17, permission not granted, server address inside one of the phone's own network ranges) and says so at once. A tap on that message asks for the permission and runs the check again; a refusal that Android no longer asks about leads to the app's page in the phone's settings.

TMCandClaude Fable 5.2	5c4a6c346d	Add the Pictures widget and carry Smart Launcher's photo widget over Pictures is a widget that comes with the launcher: one picture, or several that take turns every 10 seconds with a cross-fade (a tap shows the next at once). Android knows it as an ordinary app widget, so it is added, moved, resized and removed like any other, but the launcher draws it itself. That lets its frame sit exactly on the outer edges of the icons of the cells it covers and take the corners of the icon shape in use. Pictures are chosen with Android's photo picker and copied, scaled down, into the launcher's own storage, one folder per widget, so no gallery permission is needed. The widget's edit button opens the picker again; removing the widget deletes its copies. Launcher3's widget host view shows the launcher's own view for this provider and skips the views Android would send, and the cell container gives the widget its cells without the usual inset. The Smart Launcher import now turns that launcher's photo widget into a Pictures widget in the same place. Its photo is taken from the backup and handed to the widget when the owner taps it to set it up. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.2 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-11-12 13:04:34 +01:00
TMCandClaude Fable 5.2	d5a62cc6f5	Redraw every open copy of the launcher when a setting changes Opening the launcher like an app (the installer's "Open") and then making it the home app leaves two launcher activities in one process. A changed setting recreated whichever one LawnchairApp.launcher returned, which could be the one in the background, so the home screen kept its old look until a restart.

TMCandClaude Fable 5.2	d0d1c031d0	Add a row size setting and give the screen edge back to Android's Back swipe Row size (Settings, App drawer, Style): Compact is the list as it was, Comfy has taller rows, larger icons and slightly larger names and letter headers. In the open drawer the alphabet no longer reserves the screen edge. Its letters rest 30dp from the edge, clear of the strip where Android starts Back. A touch that starts on that strip becomes a scrub once it moves up or down or rests for a moment; a sideways swipe is left to Android and goes back. The band that starts a scrub from the home screen is narrower than the one in the drawer. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.2 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-11-12 12:09:11 +01:00

TMCandClaude Fable 5.2	80a56c01c9	Say why a check for updates failed The owner's phone answered a manual check with "Couldn't reach the update server" while the same published version found the update on the emulator and the server answered from the PC. The message gave no way to tell a missing network permission from a VPN, a name that does not resolve, or a server error. - A failed check now carries what kind of failure it was (no network permission, server not found, no answer, no secure connection, server error, unreadable answer) and the error's own words. The About screen says the kind in plain words with what to try, and shows the words under it as "Details". - The no-permission case is told apart before any request is made; some Android systems let the owner switch the network off per app. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.2 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-11-12 10:43:07 +01:00
