Thanks for the contribution from XDA member rajiv’s. He made a beautiful set of WinRT style theme for Button Savior. Actually I got this set of theme from him a month ago but I forgot to put it in during my last update. My apology to him and to everyone.

Smart Taskbar 1.2.13 Release Note

Follow @jerryfan2000

In my last announcement in Smart Taskbar 1.2.12, I said it would be the last update for Smart Taskbar V1. But during the development of V2, I finally discovered the root cause of a very very old problem that occurred since even in the first release of Smart Taskbar dated 3 years ago. That is the dreaded bug of losing ability to enter on textfield when switching apps with Smart Taskbar. So basically this is the only issue thats covered in this release.

Smart Taskbar 1.2.12 Release Note

Follow @jerryfan2000

I am now updating maybe the last update for Smart Taskbar V1 today. The development of Smart Taskbar V2 is near its end. I will first release a public preview on Playstore in maybe end of March for bug and issue solving. I have delayed the project from my previous promised deadline of end of 2012 to end of Jan, and then Feb… and finally March due to increasing complexity in my design. And I was too stupid to started the project by completely rewriting the code instead of improving from old one that I have spent nearly 2 years on. Now I finally understand what agile methodology is in software development. My next project after Smart Taskbar V2 will be Button Savior V2 and I will not make same kind of mistake again. I will start from old code and improve daily and slowly.

Back to the topic. Smart Taskbar V1.2.12 includes following bug fixes

(1) Fixed widget viewer layout problem
(2) Fixed direct call failure in newer devices

Button Savior Non Root talk back issue with Samsung devices

Follow @jerryfan2000

Button Savior non root requires Accessibility Service to run. However, there are reports from users with Note2 and GS3 saying their devices unexpectedly read opening folder/closing folder when Button Savior Non Root is installed. I spent some times to fix it and found out it is actually a bug in current Samsung ROMs. To workaround with it, you need to go to settings/manage app/all and find (Google Text To Speech and Samsung Text To Speech). Click into them and disable both. This is the only solution to solve this issue at this moment.

Literally, if you use any third party apps using requiring Accessibility Service, you will also get this problem. So it is not just happen on Button Savior. If you still get voice feedback after following above steps, please let me know. Thanks.
