Pocket Quotes great on my Samsung Epix
I've been looking for a stock quote app for my Epix (320x320 screen) for quite a while. Couldn't find a free/inexpensive one that worked on my display.
Thought about trying to program one for myself, but it's been a long time since I've done any "real" programming. Found this app via the forums at basic4ppc and then found the CAB installation here.
I love it! It works great! Thank you for coding and sharing this!
Had a couple of suggestions for possible future enhancements beyond those you had listed above:
Display a progress bar or message when updating stocks.
Allow the user to change the font size for the list of stocks.
Allow the user to optionally turn on/off the display of the detail box and have a longer list of stocks shown.
Allow the user to optionally input a user-friendly name to display in place of the ticker symbol on the main list. e.g. "Ford" instead of just "F".
Allow user to specify the order of the stocks, or keep them in alphabetical order.
Optionally let the user choose to display the list either with alternating colors OR with color coded backgrounds in the list box which indicate postive changes (green), negative changes (red), or no change (gray).
Implement a settings dialog to allow the user to configure any options you implement.
Publicize this app more and provide a way for people to make donations to show their appreciation
As I said, I am very grateful that you built and shared this app. You did a great job making it smart enough to adjust the display to the device on which it is running.
My suggestions are just ways in which you might enhance it to allow your users to customize it more to their liking.
4/25 Update: Found one additional issue. Can't seem to download stock market indices. For example, the Dow Jones Industrial average (symbol "^DJI"). Looks like the "^DJI" is being turned into "%5EDJI" and then not returning any prices.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions - I had stopped working on this because it didn't look like there was any interest. I'll take some of your ideas and add them to the next release (which will be after I finish taking the PMP certification - preparing for that is taking up a lot of my spare time)
I'll check on the DJ symbols - they should work since it works within Yahoo and I'm using the Yahoo feed for updates.
also eur/usd parameter should b configurable as well...
good appz

I fixed the VGA display (Portrait only) and tested the Dow Jones - it doesn't work because "^DJI" is passed as part of the string and http doesn't like that. I need to urlencode it and see if that works.
I'll work on some of the other suggestions and get a developer's release out soon.
Version D-14
I have placed version D-14 (developer's release) on the main post. Unzip and copy to your PDA.
I have not implemented any of the excellent suggestions yet - I'm working on stabilizing the core functionality before I start adding to it.
Changes included in this release:
1. Added a splash screen on start-up (it's downloading stock updates in the background)
2. Fixed sort when adding stock symbol
3. Fixed VGA display (still only Portrait though)
4. URL encoded "^" for DJI - but it still doesn't work. I need to work with the Yahoo RSS feed to see why not
5. Fixed delete symbol bug (it didn't update all of the arrays, causing the wrong details to be displayed on a symbol)
For anyone with B4PPC, I added the source code to the zip file. Requires the ListView and fgControls library (included)
Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
UPDATE: Version D-14 uploaded to first post. I had left off a zero in the timer control, causing the program to refresh 6 seconds x setting - needed to be every 60 seconds per each minute in the setting.
Release D-15
Release D-13 has been uploaded to the main post
Changes:
1. Add downloading of stock chart when selecting stock symbol
2. Organized program images into gfx directory
3. Minor bug fixes & tweaks
Downloaded and tried D-15. Couple of new issues introduced.
Delete does not seem to be working for me. I can select it from the context menu, but after a brief delay it just repaints the screen without deleting anything. I can add stocks, but can't delete them without editing the pocketquotes.ini file.
Also the detail display is no longer displaying properly on my Epix (320x320 resolution). The bottom of the first row of characters with stock name is cut off, and I can only see the "Close" and "Highest" labels. The close price displays OK, but the Highest price gets truncated on the right (even though there is space on the screen to display it.) Also the bottom line which displays the last trade date is ovelaying other data and the bottom of the last trade text is also cut off.
Finally, in the Add dialog, it looks like there may be a display problem. But I think it was there before too. Below the label which says "Enter Stock", it looks like there is something there, but I can only see a few of the top pixels above the Cancel button.
Just reverted back to D-13 version, and it appears delete does not work for me with this version either. In this version, If I delete a stock, it is removed from the list. But it reappears when I close and reopen the app.
Do you have access to an emulator to see how it runs on a square screen device? If not I could probably figure out how to get a screen cap if it would help.

First, thanks for the feedback.
When you delete a stock, it should go to the download routine (it will display the download image) and then repaint the screen. On my PDA it does not put the symbol that was deleted back there.
Can you send me the stock symbols that you are using? I'll try a test with that.
As for the display on 320x320 - that is a resolution that I've always had mixed results with. I think I am going to remove the stock detail area at the bottom and display it when you click on the symbol (the one that shows the chart) This will make it easier to program as I can use the entire available screen for listing the stocks.
I'll check the add code. I may need to add a refresh or something to force a screen update. There should be a panel with an input box. I did notice it does a refresh download (which it shouldn't do at this point)
Last, I'll install the emulators so I can run some additional testing.

I have uploaded D-16 to the main post.
Changes:
1. Stock detail info moved to chart page; main page only shows list of stock symbols
2. Moved "Add Stock Symbol" from pop-up panel to new page; should display
I am in the process of setting up the emulators, but since function has been moved off onto a separate page, they should display properly on all screen sizes (portrait mode only)
Display Issues on Samsung Epix
Looks like Version D-16 still has some issues on my phone.
It appears that the details display area shrunk between version D-13 and D-15.
D-13
D-15
And the chart display area grew between version D-15 and D-16.

D-16
In terms of the Add Panel, it looks pretty much the same in all three versions, and is functional. Is there some text cut off which is peeking up from behind the cancel button on my display?

In the attached images, note that the ^DJI chart does display. It's just the quotes for ^DJI and other indices that don't work. Maybe a clue to fixing it? Or maybe not.
I still can't delete any symbols from the UI. I'm going to try deleting the ini file, since it was originally created with an old version, and manually edited on my PC. I figure a fresh start couldn't hurt and so far I don't have many symbols to re-add anyway. Will let you know how that works out.
I like the idea of the combined chart and details screen. If you can figure out how to get the display area for details to be sized right (as it was in D-13), then maybe you could use whatever is left on the screen to display the chart.
Also meant to add, that the display of the actual stocks on D16 works well. Just missing the data for the market indices.
I appreciate the work you are putting into this. I think you are on your way to a great little utility here.
Tried with a brand new .ini file. Similiar issues. It appears that you created a default .ini with the auto companies. I deleted all except HMC without issue. Then I added all the symbols I had before. And tried to delete several. None could be deleted. Except the HMC one. Then I couldn't delete others. The only thing I could see was that HMC was first entry on the list in the .ini file. And the remainder of the entries were NOT in alphabetical order. Are they supposed to be in alpha order in the .ini file? Could it be that the indices are somehow messing things up?

That sounds like it could be the problem why it's not deleting; the "^" symbol is messing things up.
The screen display is cutting off some information on the 320x320 display (works ok on VGA and QVGA) - I have some code that I need to apply to setting the form for 320x320. It's really a simple calculation where if the display is 320 I use an offset factor of 1.25, and if its VGA I use an offset factor of 2. I just need to apply this for your display.
Thanks for the images - it helps me to see what is happening. I'm having trouble getting the networking to work within the emulator so it's not downloading stock data (I may have to build an off-line mode to work around this)
I'll get an update back to you later today.
Version .19
Developer's Release .19
1. Added "splash" screen when updating stocks
2. Added configuration to change list row colors
3. Moved stock info to graph screen - main shows only list of stocks
4. Fixed sort when adding new stock
5. Fixed SIP when adding stock
Still working on some of the other suggestions.
I will cab this on the next release. I'm going to add in a update from web feature (I just implemented the same on pocket quotes) so that users can be sure that they always have the latest version.
Release 1.0
I've updated "Pocket Quotes" and released the first public release 1.0 with source code on my wiki: http://campusbbs.freehostia.com/doku.php?id=pocket_quotes

Thank you for making a stock quote program. I have been looking for a long time and there are relatively few programs that work well. I like many of the things you have done but there are some things I like from other community members. Please take a quick look at the post below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476613
I like the way each stock line shows red or green depending on stock up/down or profit/loss. Also, its nice to have the added screen space that the scroll bar takes up. Perhaps the scroll bar is not needed?
On ssj5trunks' (the developer of Androkkid) request, I 'm opening a thread for widget for this great program.
The Androkkid comes with these widgets:

wmdirk has supplied a widget library to facilitate the development of widgets, version 1.4, Dec. 26, 2009: http://sites.google.com/site/wmdsoft/wmd-androkkid-lib
After talking to wmdirk (and because I no longer use Androkkid), I've decided to change this first post. wmdirk's widgets will not be updated here but on his webpage http://sites.google.com/site/wmdsoft/home. He seems to be the only one currently making widgets for Androkkid, and he is very successful in doing so. But some of the widgets are not free, and I didn't want to mix the free and the commercially available in one list. However, this thread will still be used by wmdirk to answer questions regarding his widgets, and to announce new ones.
Other widgets that have to be installed separately (I'll try to keep this updated and with the newest first):
This is a list of wmdirk's widgets: some of them free http://sites.google.com/site/wmdsoft/home
WMD-NextAppointments
WMD-Clock+
WMD-RegInfo
WMD-Clock
WMD-TaskManager
WMD-WifiToggle
WMD-BTToggle
WMD-Profile
WMD-Calculator
WMD-Agenda
WMD-Tasks
Other widgets: all free
RSS Script / Widget by qkzoo Jan. 10, 2010: Not really a widget, but a Mortscript that can be used in conjunction with WMD's RegInfo widget. It downloads the XML from an RSS feed, strips the relevent data out of it, and plugs it into your registry.

hgBattery widget by ajige Oct. 6, 2009: It's rather simple, but it shows the % in text and color, and whether it's charging. Clicking on it takes you to the power settings. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4879711&postcount=126
hgTasksToday by ajige Oct. 1, 2009:will show up to 7 outlook tasks that are due today. Clicking on the widget will take you to the tasks program. The widget will redraw every 10 min. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4917995&postcount=186
Installing:
Unzip the files to the Widget directory and Androkkid will automatically detect the widgets. Then holding on the desktop, click add, then widget, then select it, and ok and they should show up on the desktop.
Skinning:
The widgets can be skinned by changing the background image - bg.png in the gfx directory. However, it's important to keep the same size as the original, otherwise the font won't show well.
Perhaps I´m too stupid, but how do i install these widgets?
I had a look at the androkkid discussion, but don´t find a solution.....
Thanks for the help.

No, you are not stupid, I'm the one who was sloppy and forgot instructions.
You should just unzip the files to the Widget directory and Androkkid will automatically detect it. Then holding on the desktop, click add, then widget, then select it, and ok.
The weather widget has a settings menu you can reach by clicking in the top half. Not all the settings have an effect yet. Clicking lower on the widget, should refresh, but I'm not sure that's working yet. Also I forgot to delete a debug message. Will try and upload a new version today.
Wether widget updated in first post (messages used for debug purposes have been removed).
Also updated information re installation and skinning.
+1 I look forward to see some more widgets. Your hard work is apperciated. thanks

Here is a Weaher Widget I have been working on. I have beased it on Titanium Weather. I shoukd have it ready in a couple of days for some testing. It depends on how my time permits. I plan on having the next 4 days forecast in the empty area in the middle.
Very nice! Cant wait to preview.

Maybe ready in a few days. Just got to work on the update process.
Good job on the widgets!
Having problems finding information on how the widget interfaces with Androkkid and need some example code. A simple "Hello World" widget would be useful and would provide a springboard for creation of new widgets.
Failing that some source code of any developed widget to date.
Edit: Scratch that, just noticed some widget source code on the main site
Looking for the Weather code for London England and Bedford England which site are they on as I put in the Weather.com code for it and it crashed Androkkid
edit is it UKXX0014 for bedford and UKXX0085 for London ??

I'll try to have a new version of the weather widget with the source code later today, and I'll have some more error testing to try and prevent crashes.
It is important though to be connected to the internet when installing the weather widget or changing the location.
In order to test the weather codes, you can put the following in your browser's adress bar:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=UKXX0085
and it should give you the same weather forecast I'm using in the widget
hgWeather updated with source.
The weather is updated from the Yahoo RSS weather feed.
It will show the current and next day's forecast. You can add several widgets to use for several cities.

It would be great if other people could improve on this widget.
I used the free developer tool Sharp Develop to compile the widget.
Just tried with weather code UKXX1730 it has updated and allows me to add to the page but i am only seeing the bottom half of the image you have provided plus if i change the temp to c instead of f it still shows farenheit temperature.
im not sure how others feel but ideally i would like to add a weather widget to my homescreen along with the clock and a row of priority icons or have a small icon sized image which when clicked on brings up full details

Are you using the version posted yesterday? Because with the latest version, when I change from f to c or opposite, it changes temperature. But you need to be connected to the internet when changing from temperature unit.
When you say only the bottom shows, what parts are showing? City? Current weather? Next day's forecast?
Sometimes you have to click several times before it properly updates from the internet.

Yes, that has been my goal too, but I'm having some problems with the forecast rss, so I'm giving it a rest for now. But the code is there so maybe someone else wants to give it a try? I would also like to have better support for different cities.
Otherwise, you could use the transparent version, set the color of the code to the same as the background, and then you would only see the icons.
If i have time i create the top bar widget to add TopBar in Android with widget and not in Androkkid directly.
Or if anyone want create it i think this is a good widget for all.
Bye
P.S.
I look for the problem of Menu for contact.
I test it in my diamond and when i try it work, i retest it.

OK. So I have finished the initial release of GORAPSWeather Widget for Androkkid. This is my first Androkkid Widget so please bare with me.
First all the credit to ssj5trunks for such a great app and the source code to the Hero Clock widget which I used as the code base for this widget.
Second thanks to Showaco for his Titanium Weather which I used as the weather base for this widget.
Note: This widget requires Mortscript.
Installation and Setup Instructions
1) Downlad and unpack GORAPSWeather.zip
2) Open GorapsWeather.mscr with a text editor and make the appropriate changes to the two variables: location and units.
- Change location to the accuweather.com location code for your location.
If you need to find your code go to www.accuweather.com/m and search for your city. Then you will see the location code in the URL. It will look something like NAM|CA|ON|MARKHAM.
- Change units to C or F.
3) Save your edited script.
4) Copy the GORAPSWeather folder to the Androkkid widgets folder on your phone.
5) Execute the click on the GorapsWeather.mscr in a file explorer to initialize the values. If you don't do this and add the widget it will crash Androkkid.
6) Add the widget to your Androkkid desktop. Clicking on the widget will update the weather data.
I hope you like it.
Currently i use the SBSH calender wich supports custom category icons. With thoose i can see what going on the whole month on one page.

try thumb cal available in the windows marketplace. they have a trial version.
From the screenshots it has only colored triangles and circles...thats not sufficient..
The only calendar app which has text on VGA devices is Developer One Software's "Agenda Fusion" v8.70. It is a text option on the month view, but you can alternatively choose icons and time bars. I have used Agenda Fusion for some years. Since version 8 this has been an option. I don't think the simpler "Agenda One" product has this option.
Ok thanks, i will check that one out. SBSH doenst support text but i just created my icons with the texts, so i kind of cheated there.

There should be a trial download of Agenda Fusion, so that you can see if you like it. Please remember that this program should be installed to main memory NOT the storage card. It will appear to work fully, but some functions will not. I cannot remember which, but I had to contact their support and they confirmed that it is best to install to main memory. It takes under 5Mb so it is no problem. Just warning you!
Pocket Informant has all of these functions. A very useful small text month view. And the developer just made it free for WM6.5 - he's pulled out of WM6xx.
I don't use any of the "SuperPIMs" anymore because of startup lag which all of them have - I need to be able to look up or enter tasks and meetings quickly on the fly - but PI is by far the best of them, IMHO.
good work keep up
I just installed PocketInformat. What i allready like is that its fast. And i found the icons, i can even creat presets for my events i have every month.
Great program..i wish i would have had this sooner.
My Rezound seems to offer no way to change the Home Clock. I can add clocks, but I can't change or delete this one clock that is set to Arizona. I turned off Location Settings, too, but I still have the one Arizona clock (presumably because that's where Verizon ships from).
I am also trying to show a summary of a few scheduled activites on my Home screen, to no avail. It seems useless to me to have a Calendar widget that only shows one activity, because I would think people would want to see at least a few so they know what their day might be like, without having to always click on something. I know I have the option to select different views; trouble is that the other views are too big to be allowed to fit on the Home screen.
Any help in these areas would be greatly appreciated.
FWIW, I don't know how Android got to be so popular. Although it LOOKS cool, it seems very clunky trying to find things (things are often not sensibly placed), and the stuff like changing a clock or displaying activities should be easier to do. Perhaps I am missing something? :crying:
That is a bug in the stock HTC CLOCK.
I live in upstate NY and my clock insists I am in new York city (if I use current location) and there is absolutely no way to delete that location.
I have tried deleting and reinstalling the clock etc and NYC just keep reappearing no matter what I do.
If I go to edit where it should be possible to delete NYC it isn't even listed.
This phone has been out for how long now? I run a software company myself, and there's no way we'd let a simple little bug like that ruin our reputation, never mind leaving our customers frustrated for this long. In fact, we'd have fixed something like that within days!
Thanks for letting me know that I spent nearly 20 hours on this phone, trying to figure it out. Do you happen to know if there is anything like a registry editor or something we can use to edit settings under the hood?
What about having an agenda listing on the Home screen, like Windows Mobile used to have? Know anything settings that might allow that? Or, am I wasting my time, there, too? I mean, first the clock, then I beat my head against the wall trying to get my Windows Media Player playlists to go across with HTC Sync, only to give up and manually copy them using "disk drive" mode. That's actually almost worse than the clock thing, in that HTC Sync offers the playlist option, but doesn't even see them on the PC!
For the calendar, which widget are you using. If you are using the one that is only 1 grid tall, that one is only made to show 1. If you need more than 1 event, just use the larger calendar widget.
Problem is that the other larger sized widgets aren't allowed to be place on the Home Screen, because a message says there is not enough room. SIGH

Tap the home button while on the Sense Rosie homescreen to bring the view out to display up to all 7 panels of the launcher. If you don't have all 7 active you have an option to add a panel. You may also delete an entire panel at once by tapping and holding the panel, then dragging to Delete. This allows you to add a fresh blank panel afterwards.
Alternatively, choose a panel to clear out manually. Tap and hold on icons and widgets until you enter an editing mode where you may reposition items or drag to the Delete icon.
It is simply wanting you to add a panel and/or clear out clutter manually first to ensure it doesn't delete your existing items.
Also note the Play Store has other launchers available you can try instead of HTC's Sense. Some allow more homescreens, but you will lose use of the widgets exclusive to the Sense interface. Some have comparable widgets integrated and there are apps with widgets in the Play Store too. It is suggested to get a feel for the stock Sense launcher a bit longer though.
Apologies for the double post, but wanted to address each topic seperate and Multi-Quote after the fact.

Take this with a grain of salt since I'm unfortunately running Sense 4 and not 3.5 or 3.6 right now. But I believe there should be a setting if you tap on the clock widget on your homescreen, go to the World Clock tab and hit the Menu button. If not there, then *somewhere* with the Menu for World Clock, perhaps when you select Edit if not the first option. If someone else could chime in on this.

A note to both of you: as far as this World Clock tab is concerned, this is precisely how a traditional traveler's clock works. It makes more sense when you realize the Home Clock is meant as the Home Time Zone. Just as when you set a time zone on a PC or forum, it usually just provides a list of major cities to choose from. I will say Sense 4 shows the current location in addition to this "Hometown" and unsure about older Sense but again, the primary function of World Clock is "nearby major city's timezone + time zones across other frequented or contacted locations."
Now jmoreton10, if the *weather* widget isn't showing your proper location, there is an issue with your Location settings. While the World Clock only can add and locate major cities, Weather should be able to tell where you are exactly by zip code. I may have had issues like that with both Verizon and Google location on; try using just Google location if you confirm Weather is not showing current location properly.

I don't think you understand what we're saying, or maybe we don't understand what you're saying. The Home clock does NOT display MY home. It displays someone else's home... in Arizona. I am in California. Moreover, the Home clock cannot be edited or deleted on the Home screen. However, if I add a traveler clock to ANOTHER panel/desktop/screen, I can choose what cities I want on it upon adding the widget, but once again, once the widget is added, if I click on the clock, I see the same Arizona Home clock in addition to the other cities I added. IIRC, Arizona does not change times when we "spring ahead" or "fall back" like we do here in CA. So, I think that kills your theory of a nearby major city in the same time zone, doesn't it? Same with those people seeing Detroit when they live in NY. Personally, I am really starting to hate Arizona!
New phone came in. Don't know if there's a difference, but it appears that there is a way to change the Home Clock. It's not very intuitive, but:
Click on the Clock Widget. On World Clock, choose the Menu button. Click Home Settings. Type your City, or SUPER HUGE MAJOR CITY nearby. Type VERY slow, because there is a very limited number of cities. If you type too fast for the app, it will give you a "not found" error. Dumb, I know, but at least we all now know WTH is wrong with this thing.

Are you the same guy who made the old grindrmod?
How this work?
It's good like "old" version?
So far works great, thanks! Is there anything new we should be aware of coming from the other version?
A couple of things :
- I do notice that not all profiles with chats have the orange border.
- would it be possible to add swipe across screens (I think previous version of app or mod had this)?
Thanks and great job!
Everytime it's opened, it can't get a location as 'I have no Internet connection' apparently, when obviously I have.

There is a paid feature now which too closely matches the active chats border, so it has been removed.

The mod introduced that far before the app did. One might argue that they took it and monetized it from @GrindrGuy. Does this mean that if the app starts mimicking other features introduced by the mod to monetize from them that the mod will just start taking them away? Nah, I'm against this move... You and GrindrGuy ultimately decide, but I wanted to share my two cents.

If you want to get "super technical" about it, this feature was introduced years ago in the original app but taken away around v3.0.
EDIT: Since I do not have Grindr Xtra, if someone would like to actually send me screenshots of what this feature looks like, I may be able to re-work it so that the module provides a similar feature that is not a direct replica of the paid feature.
I found a bug.
If i see a fresh face and hi back, module ask ne to "undo last refresh"

Oh, wow - didn't know that! Here I thought @GrindrGuy was the genius behind it!
Don't have Xtra, but something to bring back that function making it different enough might be to have a little circle with counter in it: currently app gives you a yellow circle with the number of new messages. You could play with that idea: just a yellow dot if there are viewed messages, or include the number (?).
Along the same lines, I have a suggestion: In my area you often get a few users who don't upload a photo and you just see the generic black profile pic with no user name. Would there be any harm / Would it be possible to give those profiles a random name (user1123) so as to know which user is which?
I'm still used to swiping left/right to switch between profiles and inbox. It's annoying you actually have to tap on those now. Dunno if you can revert that behavior.
Say you're chatting with someone and you want to go back to "nearby" view. you have to go back and then tap on "nearby". It might be interesting to have that navigation bar with nearby/inbox/favs persistant throughout the app, with it autohiding and showing back up when you scroll down. This way there's an easy way to always go back to home, and we also always see if there's a new message notification.
Another suggestion I had way back when was to further customize this navbar: for example, I'd love to order it to have first favs, then nearby, then inbox, and being able to swipe between the views. At this point it might also be nice to have the option of having the navbar either on the (new) bottom or (old) top.
Sorry for the long post! Thanks for your efforts, and it's also fun to think about UI design like this!

That's actually how the GrindrMod feature used to work, by "hijacking" the unread messages count to always display the yellow border regardless of whether the messages were unread or not.

I'd rather not alter the UI to that extent since there may be some underlying reason for them changing it in the first place (one person suggested that the toolbar was moved to the bottom in order to encourage accidental clicks on the banner ads).

Looks like the app attachment was removed from this thread? I'm running 3.24.x or something just so Grindrmod will work. I'm being told when I open Grindr that I can only use that version for two more days until it is mandatory that I update to the latest version. At which point grindrmod will not work.
So, I'm looking forward to an update =_=

Thanks! I didn't know it was a whole new app there. The links to it seem dead in the xda app with the xposed modules.
@GrindrGuyNYC, is it possible to amend the photo viewer activity (when tapping on a profile picture) to always show the Android soft-keys? Every time I tap on a profile photo to open it, I have to swipe up to show the soft-keys to go back. Starts getting annoying really fast. Thanks.
PS. GrindrMod isn't listed on Xposed module library when I check in Xposed Installer (I use the one by DVDAndroid). I had to go to the repo online to download and install manually.

@GrindrGuyNYC I'm on oreo 8.1 with systemless xposed.
The module won't show in notification bar even if I choose show always.
Another bug (on nougat too, with "standard" xposed) is if I swipe or open a new profile module ask me to undo last refresh.
