Here we go, Lightning V14 is online and no more a beta!
It has been a long road since V12, and I am really, really glad this milestone has finally been reached. There has been times where I wondered whether this would eventually happen.
A large credit goes to alpha and beta testers, this app is so large that I’m unable to test everything. Your help is invaluable.
Thanks !

Lightning Launcher V14
After several months of work and alpha/beta testing, I am proud to announce Lightning Launcher V14!
This is a big step forward, with many improvements, great new features and a huge overhaul of the internal architecture.
Under the hood, the new architecture will deliver more performance and more stability. But before all, it is designed to offer strong foundations for future evolutions, because the mobile world is itself constantly evolving.
This is an invisible change, but some other new features are much more prominent:
• Lightning offers a new object type: plugins. Think at plugins like “lightweight widgets”. These are ready to use, custom components that you can add to your home screen. When adding a new item, swipe to the plugins tab and select a plugin to create one. Since plugins are based on scripts, they can do pretty great things, and plus, they can be customized. As the list of existing plugins grows, you can expect great stuff from them.
• Thanks to the new architecture, Lightning can now be used as a custom Live Wallpaper. You can put a desktop as your Android background, with all Lightning capabilities, including scrolling panels, scripts and full support for widgets. This feature is a paid one in order to support the app’s development.
• For users of Android 7.1, Lightning brings the App Shortcuts functionnality as a standard action, so that you can easily link it to your prefered gesture (long press, swipe, or anything else). To pin a shortcut, long press, then drag and drop it on the desktop.
• V14 also comes with various improvements, such as a faster app drawer startup. On the script side, the engine received a myriad of new features, allowing to write easier and better code, as well as allowing a deeper integration with the launcher, thanks to customizable popup menus for instance.
I hope you’ll like this new version. As always don’t hesitate to report bugs or suggest a feature.
Enjoy!

Which versioncode does v14 stable have? I’d like to make this the minimum supported version for all future creations

< ![CDATA[
This is x307. Where x is 1 for arm, 2 for armv7, 8 for x86. Use modulo 1000 (I think you’ll find it in the sample script package)

congratulations!

Chris LEE did you tap on the compass? Tap once to start it, tap one more time to stop it. Also you need a magnetometer in your device, a few devices don’t have one.
Wern-Yuen Tan thanks!

Pierre Hébert when running a script with a TaskerIntent, I now get a popup similar to a script error message (but only with the script name and no error text). the script runs perfectly otherwise. i didn’t encounter this in b7. did something change? thanks!

< ![CDATA[
Almost nothing !!! This looks like an error thrown in a script function called by the platform (usually a callback). But no message makes no sense to me 😕

< ![CDATA[
Wern-Yuen Tan Does this happen if you use false as the second parameter for sendTaskerIntent ?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
the box disappears if I use false. but i do want the task to be synchronous though, since it needs to wait for http get data from Tasker …

Pierre Hébert, can you please upgrade translate packages for Czech and Slovak? Probably other languages too…

< ![CDATA[
Danbar Danbar this is planned, I hope to be able to do it this morning.

hi Pierre Hébert i “fixed” the tasker error box issue by doing the HTTP GET in my LL script (adding the internet permission from Lukas Morawietz’s package). but i now have a new “Lightning Launcher is not responding” error that occurs when the script tries to work when the display is off
the script pulls a map png from a HTTP GET request, stores it in a bitmap in LL (using Jappie Toutenhoofd’s script), and then sets the background image of an item on the home desktop to the image. i’m not sure what is causing the “not responding” error but it only occurs when the script is being run when the display is off. it works perfectly when triggered when the display is on. any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
let me know if you want me to send you the script via email too. thanks!

< ![CDATA[
Pierre Hébert please ignore my last comment, i didn’t give LL background intent permissions while the screen was off so now it’s fixed. Thanks!

the gesture launcher is a great function
A few suggestion
1 Add a value to control the tolerance level
Of the gesture
(I put a S for launching an app, but the app started even I draw a horizontal stroke)
2 the gesture launcher not only be assigned for specific app, but also search for the app starting with that character, (act like gesture search from google)
