https://galaxystore.samsung.com/detail/com.activitymanager > 4.1.0 (2021.08.20) > too old, please update it if you can and perhaps include the link as available option in the ReadMe. Thank You.

[sdex]

Uploaded.
I completely forgot how bad the galaxy store seller portal is.

[drogga]

I guess you won't be linking it to the ReadMe here..., I can create a PR for that, but I'm not sure I know how to use the Galaxy Store button image and where to find it.

[sdex]

The readme used to have links to galaxy store and appgallery.
I'm not going to maintain them and update the app regularly, so do not want to add them back.

I sometimes miss the separation lines and the way the App Name and the Package Name were in different colors (White vs. Gery) in the older pre-Material v3 vers., please consider making the P.N. & Version texts in different color again. Thanks.

I was surprised that it can't launch its own unexported activities (Settings or About for example), "Activity Launcher" for example can launch his, also without Root.
There's a typo btw "Root is not available or the permission is not granter", should be "granted" [I've fixed it in a PR].
I wonder if it will make sense to have the ability/option to list the unexported last (on the bottom)...

[sdex]

Yep, it will work without any IDE. Just with Gradle, JDK, and Android SDK.

This one can now with the latest ver. actually launch unexpected activities for me with Shizuku (it's Paid on PS): https://github.com/zacharee/RootActivityLauncher, please add Shizuku, Dhizuku or any other non-root method to launch such (when possible) in your app as well, previously I mentioned that implementing those is basically pointless, but it now works (IDK why it didn't before, probably a bad implementation...), so I take my words back about using Shizuku in particular for this.

When I mentioned that it's not practical and really annoying having to drag up to show the sheet from the bottom, I meant in Landscape orientation, I should've explicitly mentioned that - sorry.

For me on S20 FE, the Sort filter's last buttons for Disabled applications > Show & Label ones are partially hidden when I drag that sheet up to reveal it in landscape.

The apps context sheet can and should IMO also have a "Create Shortcut" button (of the main activity), even tho you can just drag an app's icon from the drawer to whatever you want on the home screen, but given that there's now a button under Show non-exported for this, I think that it makes sense to be in the main menu as well.

The new "Create shortcut" dialog style doesn't exactly follow the color palette now, here on A.11 (it is what it is, no way to change it on a system level - globally, like in A.12+ or in the app), it was better before, just not with that much rounded corners, which was fine for me. Now it's the same as the top 3-dots context menu (which is with some sort dark purple color or something like that - I don't think it's necessary to mention it's hex code here of what I see...).

It's better if the "Open in GooglePlay" button is called and renamed to "Open in Play Store", since that's the actual app name and most known as.

I think you should really think about making all the sheet dialogs a pop-up centered ones (just like the "Create shortcut" one), it will be a lot better like this, not only on Phones & Tablets.

Sometimes when I go to the app's activities list, 1 icon of this app's all activities shows up crippled and I have to remove it from the recents and launch it again in order to show all properly, probably also happens with other apps, where either they are with large icons (.png or vector), or it's something else, but most times I noticed it is with Activity Manager itself. To reproduce it, try going back and forth to the app's activities list menu.

Please make the NavBar transparent or translucent so it doesn't cover part of the items, for example: check out "SetEdit" by Muntashir Akon, here on GH.

Commit: "add an option to disable donate reminder" > I don't see it anywhere, nor that snackbar's style changed, despite the commits saying that it did.

@sdex When an app which activity has been just launched crashes (happens often with unexported/private and root), Activity Manager goes back to the all apps list, instead of staying exactly where it was in the activities list of the particular app, your app is not the one that crashes in those cases, so I don't understand why it doesn't retain the view and stay where it was before the launching of the activity that caused the target app to crash.

[sdex]

It's quite strange and should not happen. Can you give any reproducible example?

[drogga]

Not anything in particular, sorry, I was playing with A.8.1 x86 (it's rooted) live boot on a PC the other day when I reported this and don't remember which activities of which app I was playing with/launched, but it should be easily reproducible.
