My Comment: Great idea. This is really cool way to show to your friends, "Here's my SAO phone, see?". For more info, see the Google Play link near the word "Description".
The Sword Art Online system menu, for smartphones and tablets. Pay $5
inside Options to turn off ads and unlock additional features. The total
cost of Pro and all extensions & themes is $13.Drag down from
the top left corner of your screen and orbs will fall into place, giving
you quick access to various features of your phone. Call and text
friends, launch your favorite apps via shortcuts, control music, and
more using the various orbs.
SAO is built to be extendable. There are many free and paid themes and extensions available in the Store. Themes update the images, sounds, and fonts used in the app creating a completely different experience. Extensions, on the other hand, are additional orbs that appear when downloading other apps. SMS, for example, is a free extension for phones.
Both themes and extensions have an API for those who want to truly customize the experience. The documentation is still in it's infancy, so don't feel afraid to email us at xlythe@gmail.com for additional help or to submit an app to the Store.

FAQ:
Q: Why can't I uninstall the app!?
A: It's probably set as a Device Administrator. Go into Settings, Security, Device Administrators, and uncheck SAO Launcher.
Q: How do I get sms to pop up?
A: Install the SMS extension - it's another app, you can find it in the Store.
Q: How do I use themes?
A: Install the theme, then go into Options. You should immediately see it as a choice aside Default.
Q: Why is there a delay launching the app after pressing the Home button?
A: Android introduces a 5sec delay for all services after the Home button is pressed. There is no way to get around this.
Q: Why can't I click under the swipe area?
A: It's an anti-keylogging feature of Android's. There is no way to get around this. It's a pain, but the alternative would be worse.
Q: Why do I still see my old SMS notifications after installing the extension?
A: I can't touch another app's notifications. Luckily, the default SMS app lets you disable notifications in settings.
Q: Why can't I hear any sound?
A: There are different streams (System, Notification, Media). Some phones disable System, the stream usually reserved for button clicks. If you have one of those phones, you'll have to change the stream in Options.
Q: This isn't a launcher! Why claim it is?
A: It is... Sort of. It launches apps. It is not meant to replace your default launcher, though.
Q: Why is log out missing?
A: Log out required Admin Rights, which make it difficult to uninstall apps (You have to manually go into Settings, drill down into Administrative Apps, remove the app, then uninstall).
Q: Can you translate the app to my language?
A: Sure! If you, or someone you know, speaks multiple languages and can help out, email us at xlythe@gmail.com. We'll explain how to format the translation and will give Pro access to you and any friends.
Q: Can you add feature X?
A: Shoot me an email at xlythe@gmail.com, I'll see what I can do.
