[APP] StriPad, another application launcher - Android Apps and Games

I'm looking for beta-testers now, in order to refine my application and maybe find bugs.
This launcher is described and downloadable on my web site dystroy.org/stripad/
In a few words, it is designed to be efficient and greatly minimize the time needed to find and launch your applications (or to uninstall them).
If you could take the time to visit, test and comment this launcher...
[screenshots not possible for a forum newcomer...]

Hey I had a look at the screenshots, what an Awesome innovative idea! .
I wouldn't want to replace my home screen with it though. Maybe you might want to get into contact with some launchers (Launcher Pro etc) about making it an option to replace the app drawer with your StriPad?

I love this launcher!
I'll test this. This is my new favorite launcher. I've been looking for something like this ever since I went Android. Your launcher is a welcome change.
I love that it's only 63KB, fast, minimalist and low on resources.
I hate having a 1-2MB app just to launch other apps.
I don't use widgets or screens.

I had a FC while holding down a strip to change the color.
I also only see half of the color wheel when changing colors. I have a low resolution phone. 320x240
Checking the Processes I only see
Process CPU Mem.
system_server 129% 0Ko
com.google.process.gapps 129% 0Ko
com.android.phone 129% 0Ko

Took a look at it, not a bad idea, still rather launcher pro.

Good Idea.
But hard to use and could be prettier.
But I am looking forward for updates.

Awesome idea, but I use too many widgets for it to replace my current launcher. I'll be checking back for updates

Awesome work bro!

Thanks for your replies !
@lunigma : can you reproduce the problem and get me the stack-trace ? Do you know how to do it ? What you see on the process list is strange. What device do you have and with what version of Android ?
@TuRDMaN : if enough people are interested I'll continue my work. I'm currently working on an integration of the widgets (the stripes could be all retracted to the left, leaving the background to widgets).

Sounds cool, can't wait to check it out!

The APP is funny, cool man, great work, i will still looking in this thread for up's.

OK.
I must admit that I'm not any more able to find the time and motivation to work on this project.
So, except if I find people willing to develop it (as open source), I won't finish it and I'll remain the sole user...

hey this is cool are you going to pt it in market place???

Would you consider making this into an "app drawer" replacement? Or maybe 2 versions. Full launcher version and app drawer replacement version. I think it would be an awesome app drawer. But I personally would not want to replace my launcher with this. It is a great idea though. and thanks for sharing.

Please don't drop this! I love the concept and the fact that it's so conservative on resources.
I'm using Stripad as main Launcher and Quickdesk for some widgets.
There are two flaws, though. On my Samsung Spica, it displays sometimes 8, sometimes 9 bars. The processes windows becomes empty after 3 or 4 seconds.
Again, I think this app is too good for you to drop. Please reconsider.

Not able to download the file now, but any chance someone can post screenshots?

Fantastic
Its fantastic and one of the most lovely launchers till today, As I am a graphic UI designer, I hope I can do wonders with this Launcher and its colour effects.
Thanks.

Anyone need graphic design/layout help?

Here's the deal–I'm a graphic designer who found myself sans job, and have been looking to do some different kind of work to keep from going insane. I have thought about trying to prog my own apps, but java is still a bit over my head. So if there are any devs that could use some design work for apps, wallpapers, or whatever, PM me and we'll go from there. Right now, im thinking this service would be free of charge...

This depends on how far you are looking to go. Just icons, full UX?
Perhaps a mockup of a file browser (root explorer for example) would be a good start. They are all quite rudimentary in layout/design but most function well.
Again, this depends on what aspect of design you are talking about.

Ah nice.
I would definitely overhaul a client app that has a TON of downloads in the market. Most devs have zero understanding about layout, nor do they care. File browers/explorers, chat clients, irc clients, etc are all big time offenders.
Just look at the top downloaded free apps and go for one that you actually use. By selecting one you use, the flow through the app is something you are familiar with and fixing/redoing the experience becomes personal and understood.
That's how I would go about it anyways

This is a key part, IMO. Great advice from deprecate.
Also, FYI - I just wanted to let you know that your portfolio is very impressive. As a fellow UI designer, you've got some skills.

Hey, thx for the kind words. Sometimes you can forget what you have accomplished inn the past when times are tough.
I just know that I've used the great stuff you guys have made, and I really want to give back to the community. Since I cant prog worth a damn, graphics is gonna have to be it.
I hope you are able to do some work with Android developers. They really need it.
Get the AppAware app to check out what is most popular and make som mock-ups of those. I'm thinking Twitter (though there are a couple of good ones), RSS reader, Dialer, File explorer, Media player (podcast streamer, video player, youtube! oh good it
s so baaad). Or you could make a base interface that can be used on several different apps.
Right now, I'm looking at Andchat with zer0day. When/if we find an improved layout for him,I'll post it up like I did with the Pandora concept.
How about looking into Meta Morph and theming?
Since everyone wants their phone to look different than the next guys!
You could do some theming of your phone, post screen shots, and get some more buzz that way.
Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.
I'm a UX designer and am willing to help.

UPDATED 5/17
Hi all.
Let me start off by saying. . . I have no knowledge of porting or modding and was extreemely lucky to get this far. I need some dev help!
Here is my attempt at porting a landscape only 3d launcher for our tab. Works on 2.2-2.3.3.
It is a beta/alpha version.
I say beta/apha because some things dont work yet, but it runs very smooth. So I am calling it that.
This was originaly a launcher for anouther tablet (advent vega tab) and I believe it is called 3d Home Launcher Screen for Vega. It was designed for use with a Tegra processor.
Here is a link to vid of it running natively on its original device.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-4k62ln4j4
Did some tinkering, reading, hacking, slashing and harassing. . . . . lots of cursing
And. . . .
I got it installed and MOSTLY working . A few thing still need work.
Let it settle in. It has its own cache, and needs to build it. Restart the launcher maybe twice over an hour period. Its been running smooth, finding and playing all audio/video files. It created its own audio and video thumbnails.
®Music app DOES currently play music. It is visually stunning.
®Video app DOES play video.
*No google search bar. Thats okay. It was kinda cool tho. It caused FC's. Anything that caused fc's has been taken out of the uploaded version.
*Animated Weather widget shows weather but doesn't show the three days of the week buttons. It's just a black box that now turns to the next city. Maybe font is not installed. I am looking for it.
*It dissables two soft buttons. The search button and menu button. Long pressing the search key still brings up voice search. And pressing menu in apps still works. Pressing search button in an app still works.
Download launchkey and remap the long press search key to open search instead of voice search
*Button on right of task bar does nothing, I took out the Guide. It was for the original Tablet. Maybe it could be modded to open another app?
*Dock bar seems a little visually kooky. Black boxes under each icon where it is supposed to say name of each. Maybe font is not installed. I am looking for it. Also maybe this is because it is for a 10 inch tab screen and ours is 7.
Maybe a few things more but I cannot remember.
Guys, I think I am getting close, but would like some help, please, as I have no idea what I am doing.
®download both zips, unzip both and install all files. Sorry bout two zips. XDA has a size limit. Can anyone help make a CWM Recovery flashable zip? There is alot to install, and I dont want anyone missing an apk.
®works on any dpi.
®there are more widgets but currently they cause the forceclosures
®let it "settle"
®Devs focus on the *'s this is what I need the most help in

I have on my Desire ages ago. Have they actually updated it or does it work fine?
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
I dont know if they updated it, but it works smooth on my 2.2.3 beta 2 overcome.
Netfront life screen: my only gripes so far is no orientation change. And the annoying need to click on the desired icon, it scolls to "home" then you gotta click again to open it.
And it would be awsome to have the circle centered in landscape on the middle bottom, or middle?
Kinda why i want the 3d launcher ported
I guess running netfront and circle launcher is the best 3d we are gonna get till someone ports the 3d launcher.
I've just been trying Claystone Launcher from the market, its a beta but works ok, no landscape mode, and app draw is slow and laggy, but other features are very good, i follow this and hope it will be nice and fast at some later date.
More info here:http://www.appbrain.com/app/claystone-launcher-%28beta%29/com.claystoneinc
It's from Advent Vega Tablet. i raised the same question some time back but no one seems to be interested.
I dont know why. It looks freakin sweet. I just think the people who, unlike me, can just dont want to. Everyone else waits for other people to do it. I bet if i had it posted available to instal right now, the download counter would be smoking.
Cmon guys, take a look and give some input. If you dont wanna do it teach me how. Id love to learn how to port things like this.
Here is a youtube vid on it running natively on its original tab.

For correcting the link.
I ripped the stock launcher out of a toshiba and its a pretty sweet launcher. Its definetly different that anyrhing we have available now.
If you wanna check it out, i can pm or email it to you as i cant upload.
It works great on any lcd desity, i have it on 182 right now. Using this in conjucture with circle launcher makes my tab visualy awsome and very unique.
I also have the dell stage launcher its a great portrait launcher because unfortunatly its resolution allows you to see part of each screen to the left and right in landscape mode. Still works in landscape mode, tho.
It is also diff than the regular old adw launcher. It has some widgets also.
I am in the process of ripping out every stock launcher i can find and trying to get it to work on the tab.
I am gonna start a new thread soon with all these in one spot that work on the tab. I am not gonna include launchers you can find on the market. Except in passing mention.
Do you think that thread is a good idea?

Great, great feedback. Thank you!
Some of these are already on our plate - working on getting dock customization in ASAP - but those that aren't are going straight from your keyboard to the developer's ears. Thanks, again!
My phone's being repaired right now, so I can't try this. Are scrolling widgets supported?
Awesome work !! Really a good launcher. Makes my iFriends go green
Will post any features needed/ bugs
willing to try this and have great faith in the project. I love seeing a launcher with a difference and will download in the morning to my vibrant running cyanogen mod. finally if you are in need of a beta tester please let me know and I will do anything to help.
I like it.
Down points-
Slow to scroll from screen to screen
Confused on how to resize widgets.
I didn't see how to change what screen goes in what order. Example-I could never get my homescreen to be the middle screen instead of the 1st screen.
I think I'd like a swipe up gesture that allows quick screens glance rather than the middle dock button being the quick screen glance.
I give you props on this. It's turning out nicely and will continue to do so!

Gotcha.
In terms of the widget resizing, if you long hold on a widget and tap 'Resize' you'll notice the bounding box + arrows pop up. From there, you should be able to resize by tapping and dragging on the arrows to get the dimensions needed (if you're not seeing the arrows or that functionality's not working, definitely let me know).
Re: setting the order of screens - we don't have that included now, but it's already in the works for a release in the very short-term.
Lastly, hadn't considered the upward swipe gesture idea. Let me stew on it for a bit and see if there's something we can do there.
Thanks for taking the time to drop the feedback - love it!
I am trying the Launcher (although I prefer plain vanilla LauncherPro). It's tricky trying to get use to using this. I am so use to using an almost empty, plain desktop.
I wanted to try this because of the news feeds as it seems easier than opening the browser and going to the news sites.
really good, but on my sensation (960x540 px resolution) the themes doesnt resize properly, there are blurry icons and backgrounds. only the widgets are looking ok. i hope youll make it compatible with qHD (960x540) resolution.
glad to see that you are working on the screen order feature
a setting to change the transition effect and a running apps panel (task manager) would be very nice!
i dont like the photos panel, i cant scroll through the photos when i select one from the list, i must first go in fullscreen mode... it should be more like gallery 3D ^^
waiting for the next update

Totally understand - it's a bit of a departure from layouts featured in ADW, LauncherPro, etc.
In fact, one area in which we need to improve in is explaining the basics of Claystone. Once you play around with it it starts to come together, but we've got to do a better job in bridging that gap.
Thankfully, I've got a Word doc in front of me ready to be dumped into an HTML layout with the aim of having that ready within the week!

Of those, I can tell you that a 'Running Tasks' panel is ridiculously close to being included (as in: we've had it in there, but haven't quite finalized it yet in deference to other features).
In terms of qHD compatibility and revised photo functionality, I can't promise that they'll be featured in the next build or two, but can say I'll bring them to the team and see where we can slide them in on a priority scale amidst other feature development.
Really appreciate you helping out - thanks!

[App] Hubs Widget | easy Hub Layout for Tablets

Hi there,
I was very impressed of the (original) Hub Layout from this Thread.
But after installing a new ROM I was depressed to redo the whole process over and over with every full wipe again.
Therefore the idea was born to implement the whole idea in ONE Widget and not so many single Widgets. (Note that my implementation is based on the layout done with Launcher actions and Minimalistic Text Widget.)
I started to develop and presented it already in a german android board but now time has come to show you my work.
Hubs Widget 0.5
Current Features:
One configurable widget for all hubs
Horizontal Widget
Global configuration for colors, text etc.
Configurable number of hubs
Direct click for goto page for Nova Launcher jumpto action (no overlapping of widgets anymore!)
At the moment a fixed proportion active/inactive hub of 3/2 (good to know when using the overlap approach)
Issues:
Widget size not properly defined (need some assistance eventually), but can be resized
Sometimes crashes when choosing number of hubs (under investigation)
you tell me...
Planned Features:
configurable fonts (tricky, size and color will come definately)
configurable active/inactive hub proportion
contact ADW and Apex devs to implement direct widget clicking for them too (if already possible via intent to go to a specific screen please let me know)
you tell me...
Download
Version 0.5
Version 0.4
Addon
Transparent Icon theme (for "goto screen" icons) for Apex Launcher
ApexTransparentActionsIconPack1.0
(ADW in progress, help is welcome)
Your feedback and questions are welcome. I will definately work on this in the future until I am satisfied but I cannot tell you how fast the future releases will come.
Regards
David

Great idea! I hope this is still being developed, it would save a lot of people a lot of time not having to redo their hubs every time they wipe

Oh wow, finally some feedback. I was planning to release it in the market, but in the last weeks I had no time to develop.
At the moment I have a version on my tablet that does everything I want therefore I will only look into more features if there is spare time or some request. I will build the actual version an update this thread in a few minutes, so you can try the new version if you want (it has direct support for Nova Launcher without using some buttons underneath the widget as well as an horizontal version) edit: ok just saw I published the nova version already here. so just horizontal widget in the new version. But if you have any other request I can eventually do it for you.
Thank you for your feedback!
oh my god,always miss this.i really liked the hubs on my previous tablets,but after honeycomb days i stopped use them due to the loss on rom flash..and i flash roms so often that i decided to not do hubs anymore.
Now it seems you did a great job,i want to try this tomorrow and sure i'll post here my impression.thanks for this,a very good idea\potential
Apex support would be my main request atm, but I am guessing that is more in their hands than yours? Would rather not have to use Nova since I bought and set up Apex exactly how I like.
I notice horizontal support was added to the OP since I tried out 0.4 last night, that was my only other request! Don't have my tablet on me atm but other than the resizing issue this seems pretty well ideal for release.
You should definitely spread the word on the individual forums for each tablet because I only came across this thread through google.

Yes the Apex thing is more on their side. I will look into it again and check if it works in the current version or ask them to integrate a possibility like nova did.
I thought it a bit odd to advertise my own app in so many threads about hubs.. But you are right, I should do it to spread the word.
you need to explain a little the use of this. I have Nova installed, but.. no idea how to use.
I just get a widget on the screen, I cannot click on any button (nothing happens)
EDIT: Got it! just being stupid and not reading the initial thread.
EDIT2: I think there is an error: I have set up 5 or 7 screens, and the second button takes me to the third, the third to the forth and so on....
EDIT3: I actually works with 5. So I have no idea if the problem is hubs widget or multiple live screen wallpaper or either the launcher. Maybe somebody else can investigate (I am using Nova, as I mentioned).

Will look into it at the weekend (no time today, sorry). Should be an error on my side. I tested only with 5.
there is one more thing. at the moment, you can practically have one widget. I mean, if I want one widget that shows something and the second to show something else, it is not possible (for example, in the Entertainment hub, from the entertainment 'box' there is another Hub widget, that has different names (categories)).
Hi,
I could solve the problem with more than 5 screens when temporarily assigning a different screennumber to each hub that links to the wrong screen. But i had not the time to fix it in the code.
The other thing, yes actually all widgets have the same layout. I should possibly allow hub groups or something. I will work on it for future versions.

i really like this app.hope in future updates when you have times!thnaks for the work!
Hey Guys,
I've got good and bad news.
Bad news is, ther won't be an update for some time now. Good news is, I have some great ideas that I want to implement which will offer a lot more flexibility in the look of the widgets. However I have to almost completely rewrite the code to make it work this way. I don't know how long it will take and how my time for this will be in the future. But there will be some great updates in the future.
Thanks
David
Great work. Any news on update?

Hi Ali,
sorry, no update at the moment. Have you tried to assign each Hub a different screen temporarily like I mentioned on the first page? This fixed wrong screen hopping in nova for me.

[APP][4.0+] GMDYO Launcher (Free) 1.2

GMDYO -> GO Make Dis Your Own Launcher (Free) 1.2
This is an alternative launcher as compared to the various launchers on the market. Given the capabilities of the Android system, we felt that more should have been done to improve the user experience. Thus we are doing this differently compared to current launchers available on the market right now. However, in order to ensure that we are able to cater to all of the needs of the users, we are releasing it as we develop it along the way.
Please do let us know what are the things that
- we are doing right
- what needs to be corrected or improved
- what features you want to see in the future releases
- overall are we heading in the right direction
NOTE :
This app is a work in progress and there might be bugs present. Currently, you can get out of the launcher just by pressing the "BACK" key on your mobile. This is done on purpose as we feel that its still too early for it to be a user's daily work horse and more suited to be a showcase instead.
More features are in the pipeline so do expect updates
If you do notice, we do have another version of GMDYO which is paid. However, please do note that there is NO DIFFERENCE between the PAID and FREE version. The reason we came out with two versions is because we feel that not all might want to get the paid version upfront to support the development and we did not like the idea of putting ads in the app and ruin the whole experience and thus, we decided to do it this way. If you can and feel that the app is worth your time, please do help by either getting the paid version or the free version. Do feedback to us anything that you feel that can be improved.
As I'm are currently under 10 posts, I'm unable to post the link to the app. However, a search in Play Store with "gmdyo" should be able to find the app. Will try and hit the target to 10 posts asap. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Thanks for your time!
Sounds interesting, hope you do a good job with it.

This post was pulled out of my arse.
suggestions (maybe)
thx for this innovative new style of a launcher!
i have some ideas that would be cool for that kind of concept:
do you know lightning launcher and its way of not using a grid but some infinite desktop space?
if not, take a look at it, it's free in the market.
now think, wouldn't that be a cool addition to the concept of gmdyo?
the creation of much more intense "cities" would be possible and that would enrichen the experience quite a lot.
another idea would be making gmdyo a 3d thing, but honestly, i have no idea how to navigate that thing if it would be 3d...
anyway, thx for bringing up something innovative and new!
greetz and keep up the good work,

Did tried out Lightning Launcher. Think its a great concept with the infinite space! We are planning to integrate more features into GMDYO, 3D is definitely in the brainstorming stage but as we are concurrently doing development for other projects, so progress might be abit slow. Do look out for our other apps as we launch them!
Once again, thanks for your feedback and have a nice day!
