Action Launcher 3.3 is OUT NOW

Grab it from the Play Store now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.actionlauncher.playstore

First up with this release is an open source API[1] that allows live wallpaper developers to that use it to ensure Quicktheme color matching is 100% up to date with the current wallpaper. Minima[2]/Minima Pro[3] highlights this feature extremely well. As someone who’s been using this feature for a few weeks, I can tell you it’s really great when your wallpaper colors randomly cycle and items such as your search box animate to the new colors automatically.

Also new is a fully customizable gesture and shortcut system. This feature has been highly requested for a long time, and it’s been pleasing to see how how happy beta testers have been with the level of customization available here.

There’s a lot more goodies in store with Action Launcher 3.3, so check out the full change log:

• NEW: Live wallpaper API support, enabling Quicktheme to reliably work with live wallpaper apps. For an example of this in action, check out the excellent Minima Pro.

• NEW: Shortcuts & gestures (Settings -> Shortcuts) both expanded and fully customizable. Gestures supported include: single/double/triple tap Home button; double/triple tap empty space; swipe up single/two fingers; swipe down single/two fingers; swipe left screen edge/swipe leftmost Home screen/swipe right screen edge/swipe rightmost Home screen; and pinch in/out.

• NEW: Ability to configure action taken by a gesture. Actions include load an app, load a shortcut, toggle All Apps, toggle Quickdrawer, toggle Quickpage, open Action 3 settings, display overview mode, lock/unlock desktop, lock device, open recents, open notifications, open text search and open voice search.

• NEW: When searching, use Google search box overlay instead of switching into the Google app. Can be changed via Settings -> Shortcuts -> Global search mode.

• NEW: As requested, an additional Donate option has been added for people who are so inclined (Settings -> Help -> Donate).

• NEW: Animate to/from the All Apps background color when opening/closing All Apps (requires Android 5.0 or later).

• NEW: Home screen indicators updated to match Android 5.1’s style.

• NEW: Allow importing of Action 3 layouts by other launchers. Thanks Kevin from Nova for the prod here.

• IMPROVEMENT: Gesture detection works over icons as well as empty space.

• IMPROVEMENT: Shortcuts to open notification panel works on Samsung devices running Android 5.x (requires granting access to the Accessibility system unfortunately).

• IMPROVEMENT: Size and positioning of Google search widget perfectly matches with the Google app on tablets.

• IMPROVEMENT: “Remove Shutter” option is available both when picking up and putting down a Shutter and from the overflow menu.

• CHANGE: No longer default to opening Google Now when swiping right on leftmost Home screen. This option can be configured via Settings -> Shortcuts -> Leftmost Home screen -> App -> Google.

• CHANGE: Increase default double/triple tap delay to 275 milliseconds.

• FIX: Use light touch effect when Up button is pressed in Settings.

• FIX: If a Shutter/folder is open on the Quickpage, don’t close Shutter/folder and Quickpage with the same swipe gesture.

• FIX: Fix behavior oddities when changing settings via the “Action 3 Settings” All Apps item.

• FIX: Misc. stability fixes.
