Does it allow for a different wallpaper for each home screen?
Really nice little launcher, deep and I can see myself using it instead of launcher pro.
A few of things I would really like to see are:
* The app drawer folder system being implemented on the home screen
* having multiple swipe gestures on the icons (swipe up, swipe down)
* The ability to have no icons on a dock (instead of the "+")
* The ability to scroll vertically on the home screen (windows phone 7esq)
* Be able to set the drawer folder to be displayed from the bottom rather than the top.
Other than that keep up the good work.
Too bad these alternative launchers cant make use of the Sense UI Widgets. That would totally make it for me.
But GO Launcher really seems like a great piece of Software, and its developing just in the right direction.
The thing that keeps me at launcher pro at the moment are the sense styled plus widgets, since I use them regulary.
Any chance of getting similar widgets on GO Launcher someday?
Another great app from a great development team

Looks promising but I'm missing the standard shortcuts in the dock. Only having the launch app option isn't enough for me, I need custom app shortcuts (specifically for "Smart Shortcuts").

Thank you ch213q
Thanks for the new v1.30
Good launcher runs really smooth on my gingerbread desire ^^.
How about a built in option to categorize your apps like you can do it with Folder Organizer app, so you could categorize the app drawer and the folders (a little apple like I know but really handy), which makes it much easier to find certain apps I suppose.
I really like this launcher.. it is very fast and responsive. the iOS style uninstaller is very nice not to mention the task killer.
So far, everything works very well, and I did not have any issues..
I like it better than Sense, and I highly recommend it...
Thanks a lot for this intuitive launcher, keep it up
Great launcher. Home screen rotation is broken for me in 1.3, the dock doesn't adjust properly.
Settings button says app not installed.
Epic 4G.
Thanks.
FYI: Go Launcher 1.30 would not function correctly after reboot on ATT Captivate. It was locked on one home screen with no widgets loading. Bottom icons still functioned.

For some reason i have a huge battery drain issue using go launcher. Since i use it i lost about 10% an hour. I now freezes it with titanium backup and use quick launcher and use the phone like normal and its using 2-3% an hour like it always did. I really don't know why but it really is your launcher which causes this drain...

Its there a way to put all the apps in the app drawer in alphabetical order? Mine is for the most part, but some of my apps aren't in order.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Decided to unfreeze Go Launcher today after LauncherPro got stuck in an FC loop on me. I gotta say, this launcher is coming along really well since I last played with it a few weeks ago. With scrolling and resizable widget support now implemented, it's at a point I'm going to try it as my main launcher.
So far I like the speed and polish.
My only issue thus far is that when switching to landscape mode with a 5x4 layout, the widgets tend to overlap each other a bit. LauncherPro has managed to correct this, but Go Launcher does redraw the layout switch much faster.
-edit-
One other thing I've noticed: if I long-press the menu button to bring up the search screen, Go Launcher crams all the widgets from the current screen (including the dock) into the half-screen space visible above the keyboard (using HTC_IME), and I can't get the search textbox to actually appear in order to perform a search.
This launcher is ok but lags sometimes on the app drawer I have now started using adw launcher ex my God it is so good.
An excellent one, except for the fact that it doesn't have its own widgets (Messages, Mail, Facebook, People, and Twitter), unlike LauncherPro.
I'm running them both now, hopefully the op does include these in the next update.
Edit: Some snapshot to illustrate what I'm talking about.
but can u change the Dock to custom docks besides the 2 options it gives
Sorry if this is already included but I have a suggestion.
Ive always though a great idea for a launcher would be some sort of interoperated system to separate games and apps from each other.
Maybe a left swipe would bring up your games selection and right would bring up your apps.
Now I know you can do this manually by adding the icons to the left and right panels of a launcher but some sort of system for adding them upon installation would be good also.
I like it, would be nice if the "icon pop-up menu" could be assigned to a swipe movement as well as long press does'nt work all that well on all phones.
And I for one likes that it does'nt have a bunch of bloat such as widgets.
Direct uninstalling from appdrawer like the TouchWiz launcher from Samsung does would be cool.
Of course it would acquire root..
cant wait to try this!
Tried it today, I think it's a launcher with loads of potential. If this can turn out to be the MIUI experience in a launcher app it will be awesome. Just some suggestions for going in that way:
- App icons in uniform shapes, this is wat MIUI does: Take the app icon, and put it in a nice rounded shape automatically. It creates the iPhone effect and it looks great. May be hard to realize in a launcher.
- Grid placement of widgets and apps: In MIUI, you get to see a grid on each homescreen so you have an idea of where the app/widget is placed, not just somewhere on that screen.
- apps always on homescreen: Again, very much iPhone-like. Apps will be placed on the homescreen after install and can't be removed. No app drawer is needed.
Of course, all these things should be able to get turned on/off in the preferences section. Again, this app has so much potential, try to get some inspiration from sense, iphone and MIUI!
Looking forward to hearing from you
Yeah I like that idea, and maybe after installation of a app you get to choose if it was a app or a game and then it assigns it to a specified section of launcher
Just installed it on my Unlocked Streak with Froyo. Working very good till now.
When you set the app drawer to vertical scrolling it's way smoother then horizontal imo, been using this for the past two weeks.
I just started playing around with this and the only thing that I can suggest is Widget Overlapping. It isn't extremely useful for many widgets, but is nice to have...especially for SiMi Clock Widget.
Edit*
Also some way to Export/Import settings. It would be helpful for those of us that like to try different setups without having to redo everything.
Hi,
I installed the launcher on my Galaxy S. I't a great app until now, it has almoust all the cool things from launcher pro and plenty of extra cool things.
My request and probably many other users too is a backup/restore feature. I hate to spend hours to customize my homescreens and app folders and after a ROM reinstall to have to do it again (I have an android blog and I have to reintall the phone many times to test roms and make reviews).
Thanks

Yup. please think about this option. Really needed.
Works perfectly on KaosFroyo v38 w HTC Eris phone
The only issue I see besides backup of settings is the long time to load when adding a shortcut to the dock or the window screen... but that happens on Launcher Pro as well.... :| why not load the App Drawer instead or something? [yes, the faster method is currently going into App Drawer and dragging a few times to the screen.] or have an option to disable it as sometimes we do hard press accidentally [or when lag appears]
Looking Good!
Also like the Task Killer built in to App Drawer. Resizing Widgets works exceptionally well (feature supported free as well!).
Very similar to LP in many respects.
Only negative, I could not seem to use a Custom Dock!
(perhaps I overlooked something here in my brief usage).
Well done to the developer.

Happy new year
Love the widget, how about a vertical scroll in a 4 or 5 icons across?!
Is there a way to change the background of the pop-up?
Writing this up for the XDA Portal, awesome work!
I think I love you. Since Folder Organizer came out, it's been almost a lonely "standard", but it doesn't run smooth on my phone. For a reason I can't understand, no developer has given time to Android folders, making them almost useless (I simply can't understand why).
So... I think I love you.
Love your two widgets, thanks!

I'd like this functionality as well. The default is nice enough, but some extra options regarding the pop-up would be a welcome addition.
This is really simple and nice. I've experimented with similar widgets but nothing really stuck. This one is likely to stay put for awhile. Thanks for the hard work. I look forward to future improvements.
awesome.
like to see:
+1 for pop up customization (i'd also like an "x" on the top right so i don't have to hit the back button each time)
Sorting options
It seems a little slow to load larger folders. I have a games folder with no more then 10 apps, but it's noticeably different loading that then a folder with 4 apps. So some little speed improvements could be helpful.
Lastly, the app changes the icons of some apps on its own. I have a photo folder. It contains "camcorder" and "camera", but for some reason the app shows them as having the same icon, when in the system their of course different.
That's all. Looks great, this is going to relieve me of the folder organizer memory night mare.
Also, is there a possibility (I don't know how this works on your end) but making a shortcut to a folder as well as this widget you already have? Or do only widgets get to be scrollable? I'd love something like this for my LP dock swipe ups.
Looks great. how long did it take you to develop that app. and what program did you use to build it???
I just installed it on my Nexus running CM 6.1.1. It's a great widget, very helpful. There're a few issues though:
1. Can we disable the text (for all sizes of icons) ?
2. If I use landscape mode, the text got cut in the middle
So much customizing to be done with this. I downloaded it about 2 hours ago and haven't stopped. AWESOME WORK KEEP IT UP!!!
Nice work! Great Idea!
Everyone should give this a try!

What do you customize? I thought it was pretty standard. Just text colors basically. Have you ever used folder organizer? That's customizable. Nonetheless, this app serves exactly what I need. Just sorting and pop up customization needed. Love it.

Quick Question
Hi-
I love this launcher! Congrats on it taking off and thank you for all you provide this community.
I'm currently not using go launcher but I really miss it. I started using Multi-picture Live Wallpaper so I could have different walls on different screens but it did not want to play nice with Go Launcher. Switching from screen to screen was super choppy and would often freeze half way through the transition until I nudged it with my finger. Do you know of any issues that would keep GL from working well with live wallpaper? Also, I know this supports resizing and scrollable widgets, but any chance of allowing widget overlapping? Before I ran into the live wallpaper problem, I found that to be the only thing missing compared to the "others" out there.
I truly feel you have something AMAZING in the works here. I was so bummed when I ran into this little kink as I hadn't used a 3rd party launcher for several months but decided to give this a try. For me, the overall package is ten times better than the "other two" out there. When this has widget overlap and smooth muti pic, I'll be back! Thanks again!!
+ option to hide home screen icon
+ option to hide recent and running.
I have this launcher for quite some time, and I am very happy with it.
Why outing yourself on XDA only now?
On the first image of your post, I see a calendar. Is this a Go widget? I do not remember having such a widget available. I have the latest version.
Is there an option to remove the recent/running tabs from the app drawer?
It's coming! The calendar widget.

I want that calendar widget and a widget that will show facebook and twitter like the launcher pro friends widget and this will be complete
Yep. Themeable widgets~

Bookmark widget is also in my plan.
Go Launcher Notifications
Suggestion:
The Notification App for Go Launcher should have the choice of displaying the Total Number of Emails in Gmail or the number of Unread Emails in Gmail.
For example, many people do not delete email from their Gmail account, so currently the notification will display 2345 on the icon. This is useless. FWIW, the ADW Notifier app has an option like this .... take a look at it as this would be a worthwhile addition for Go Launcher.
Any change you will add Maildroid to your notifications?
I am using Go Launcher EX and i love it so far. The thing is that when i want to connect my Galaxy as Mass Storage or through Kies it wont work unless i switch to the default Launcher that came with my phone. Also the battery usage seems to be higher.
A launcher ive been working on for myself as I couldnt find anything that was right for me.
Currently the group editor and adding shortcuts are not implemented and a few other things I will add later...
This is a very early version so after some feedback.
Description:
BETA NOTE: please note this is currently in beta If you have any major issues please send an email instead of leaving a comment.
Grenade Launcher! The launcher to blow away all other launchers!
Grenade launcher is designed primarily as an application drawer. With a variety of options to customise the desktop the way you want it to be! No more fiddling with widgets trying to get them to look right, instead when you hit the home button you have instant access too all your apps, eliminating the need for the application switcher.
Features include:
* Various layout types and options to adjust them how you see fit
* Groups
* Minimal interface
* Written from the ground up for android 4.0+ (works back to version 2.0)
* Quick an easy to use
App:
* Long click an app to bring up the editor dialog
* Use the menu button to bring up the options menu
Group Editor:
* Use the up and down arrows to sort the list
* Use the add group button to add a new group
* Click a group to group edit dialog
* The home group it undeletable, but can be renamed, this is where new apps will appear when installed

I see mention of a menu with settings in it but cannot find it. How do I access the settings? The screen shot in the OP shows the three dots menu icon at the bottom right of the screen, but they are not present on my device. I only see the usual Back, Home, and Recent options. This is on a Motorola Razr M, 4.1.1.
List view is in the settings(layout as list) then set grid width to 1.
If you don't have access to the menu then you cannot access the settings, ill have a look into that to see if theres anything i can find to fix it...
I included a screen shot from my RAZR M so you can see the absence of the menu.
I also installed this on my Nexus 7. No menu there either

there is some customising of tiles if you long click them.
With the padding option, are you referring to between the tiles, or around the edge of the screen?
Re: [App] Grenade Launcher - BETA
Firstly liking the I idea here, also can't add shortcuts.
And I have a few suggestions:
1 Adding the ability to have widgets on screens
2 home screen change
3 customizable app screen transition effect and look and feel
4 customize color schemes
Again liking where it's going nicely done

"Compatible with themes of GO Launcher EX, Nova, ADW, Apex , Holo "
Yet I can't find a way to apply my themes, takes me to a App Store instead. Nova manages to not show the in memory notification. Dock Icons at 125% cut's off at the bottom.
This launcher has potential, but it seems rather lacking for something that is going to push an App Store on me just to have a launcher. When Go Launcher did this, I dropped using the launcher due to the vast amount of crap that came with it.
Uninstalled and kept the only thing I ended up liking about the launcher: The Solo Weather app and widget.
Hi
Solo launcher still has the same bugs: 3 pages of dock when you put a theme is applied icons disappear even if we change something in solo settings( on nexus s with various ROM and peax2 stock ROM). And incompatible with dodol's theme. Thanks !

Hi, just go to Solo Play>Themes>Themes>Installed,then you can find your themes out there.
Hi,thanks for your feedback,we will check out later and fix soon.
Hi...i really like this launcher but it`s one thing that bothers me...i can`t make a widget to stretch to margins...i think it needs more that 8x8 grid...really hope to see that fixed...
Have a nice day!
Best launcher ever, its free and really personalizable.
Finally support to install fonts, where can I get more!? Just found one called"Anna Font"
Looks pretty good. I've always wanted to have a "stock" launcher. Will this be always free or are there plans to commercialize this?

Thank u!
Also, I Didn’t like the widgets being hidden to preview at the apps grid.
It shows only like "system apps" and this way I can't preview them.
Is there some way to work at a function for ppl choosing if they want it or not?
just using solo launcher, so far it looks pretty good but sometimes its hard to scroll, i need to swipe across the screen to scroll it. maybe add setting for scroll sensitivity would help
