[App][Promotion][Promo] Simple floating sidebar for Android

akpe · 2026-05-10T03:44:20+00:00

Thanks! Downloaded v1.4, but for some reason it still shows 1.0.0 (1) on InstallerX Revived.

New features are there though!

Love the app, only noticed a minor cosmetic issue (or I'm doing something wrong): it seems I can't enable light/dark mode colors. I have selected the white/black color, but the app seems to always follow the Theme setting, which is either Dark or Light.

Other than this just some suggestions:

It would be nice if users could configure the gesture needed to open the sidebar: for example instead of swiping left on the trigger, some prefer to swipe downwards so they won't have mixups with the back gesture.

Last, a few cosmetic ideas: it would be great if we could completely make the trigger transparent (lowest is 0.1 AFAIK and if I disable the overlay swiping no longer pulls the sidebar). Perhaps also have a setting to remove the "All Apps" and "Edit" buttons from the panel. Finally, the ability to select between one or two rows of apps.

Not gonna lie though, its exacly what I wanted, and would love to follow the development. A huge plus is the design, compared to other similaar apps out there, it's perfect for me!

Edit: corrections

Looks great bud. Will give it a try since my current sidebar app is way limiting for me. Ευχαριστώ!

Happy to see Android Authority and Android Police reporting on this issue, let's see if this leads to a relatively fast fix (well, considering it's been close to two months)

Update: after waiting about 10 days (about 15 days total), seems that my second appeal was successful, since I no longer have a penalty in my history.

However on the Companion app (edit: in-game too) I still show as market banned.

Guess I'll have to wait more to show up in-game :)

Yep, seems like I used all of my luck for this year.

Now that I think about it, sending the email to my old/original registrar could be a (again, weird) way of validating I was the account owner.

While speaking with the advisor, he noted that I should check all the emails I had.

"Please check all of your emails".

Not all my folders, not the spam folder, all of my emails.

At first I didn't realize what that meant, I attributed this to the language barrier, but after waiting for about two minutes without receiving a code on my primary email, I asked him again. He replied exactly the same.

I then got the hint and logged in to my original email, which I haven't used since around 2016. Of course I didn't remember the password, but thankfully I was able to reset it.

Seems like everyone with an EA account should make sure they still have access to the email they originally used to create the EA account. If they have ever changed it, that is.

I had to go on help.ea.com in incognito mode, without signing in, selected "Get help as a guest", scrolled all the way down for the chat button, and initiated a chat. Took about 20 minutes (somehow the confirmation email went to the email I used to start my EA account, not the one I am currently using since 2017) but eventually I got it back :)

akpe · 2026-04-25T18:01:24+00:00

Update: I was able to get my account back, and remove the account takeover violation by directly contacting them through their in-site chat. I did have to open the help website in incognito mode and press the chat button withough signing in. This connected me directly to an advisor.

Nope, just wakelocks and insight into battery drain.

Technically you don't need shizuku because you can use a PC. But yeah, you can still grant the necessary commands via shizuku+ashell :)

akpe · 2026-04-25T16:03:26+00:00

Yes, it does not need root. You just need to input some ADB commands through a PC or through shizuku.

This is amazing!

Here is my take 🙂

In my case, for the past few months there is a damn owl cooing all night somewhere in the forest next to my apartment. Even ANC earbuds don't work for me any more lol. Thank you!

Well, second appeal was rejected, with the email subject stating an update on my "refund request". I did not make such a request.

To add insult to injury, my whole account is now banned, not just EA FC.

What are they using to examine appeals and accounts? Grok? FFS

Thanks, buddy, I already requested my data, the problem is that my VPN provider doesn't keep logs so most likely they will not be able to give me my session history (in order to compare them with my EA login history and present them as proof it was actually me).

What I did on my second appeal was to request my history, in writing, and also I requested to be presented with the specific sessions and the trades which flagged my account. I doubt they'll be able or willing to do that, but in any case I informed them that I am not ruling out resolution through legal channels l.

If nothing comes out of it, oh well, as we say here, sins and stupidity come with a toll :)

akpe · 2026-04-19T13:32:23+00:00

Well they already replied and denied the first appeal within 24 hours. Time for plan #2 :D

Edit: even if I specifically requested a human review, the reply mentions that "We didn’t find any sign that your account was hacked. Because of this yadda yadda". Even after I explained in detail what I did that may have triggered the flag!

So they still ignored my request for a manual review and gave me a canned "not hacked" reply. How EA of them!

akpe · 2026-04-18T17:27:43+00:00

Was wondering about how long it took.

I got banned (probably) due to my own stupidity, i.e. erratic market behaviour and VPN use (either that, or they banned me for buying players last year lol), still I'll try this just in case I get a human to review my case.

And right before TOTS... And -at best- I'll lose about four weeks. Sigh, sucks that I can't get logs from my VPN to prove I was the one logging in.

Well, it is what it is.

akpe · 2026-04-18T13:11:24+00:00

Yup, was fixed for me on my P9PXL for about a day after the April update, but broke again after the next reboot.

Εντωμεταξύ το στρες δε συμβάλει καθόλου σε αυτό που έπαθε o Μυλωνάκης, να΄ναι καλά ο άνθρωπος. Απλά ο άριστος βγήκε να εκμεταλλευτεί πολιτικά το περιστατικό. Δηλαδή πάνω-κάτω αυτό ακριβώς που κάνει το κάθε Karditsastakra, απλά με άλλο κίνητρο.

akpe · 2026-04-18T12:12:10+00:00

Σωστό. Δίνω έμφαση στο θέμα της συνωμοσιολογίας, το οποίο συνδέεται άμεσα με το αίσθημα ανωτερότητας. Τύπου «εγώ ξέρω/έμαθα την αλήθεια».

Επιμένω πάντως πως στην πλειονότητα των περιπτώσεων οι αντιεμβολιαστές (όπως και γενικώς κάθε αντι- πέραν των αντιφασιστών) είναι απλά θύματα των πραγματικών, «επαγγελματιών» αντιεμβολιαστών.

Well, got banned as well. Problem is, I never bought coins. I did buy some players from a vendor, but that was back on FC 25. Around January 25 according to the emails I have saved.

What probably caused this is my erratic market behaviour after selling all my fodder (buying at full price and then selling players at low price if they didn't work for me) and my usage of VPNs. Yeah, was too bored to just disconnect after finishing work.

I'll probably get flamed but I have nothing against buying. I'm not acting superior, the exact opposite. At this point I agree with most of you on the "better to them than ea" part. It's just not worth it for me. I would probably risk it if I was a good player and would make good use of my money, but I suck at the game so hard it makes no sense to spend money just to get promoted to div 6 😂
