Dude, you make the most handy and awesome widgets. Thanks heaps! , been looking all over the place for a folder widget like that, folder organizer was ugly lol.
Yep, just installed it and very impressed.
Thanks very much

Lol reminds me of the folders on the iphone but better great app.
If you could add the ability to get the apps alphabetically sorted that would be great.

I will add this in the next version, already on my todo list.
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.

TASKER/LOCALE PLUG-IN
In case you use Tasker/Locale application, I have included plug-in which displays "dynamic" text on your homescreen.
USAGE:
1. in the TEXT WIDGET set up unique name in advance settings (name, which will be used for communication between widget and Tasker/Locale application)
2. in the Tasker/Locale application create task and include this plugin. To set up the plugin, set the same name as used in widget and add any content to be displayed on the Android homescreen.
Tasker application allows variable replacement, so that it becomes very powerful tool for you if you are familiar with this application.

I'm looking for something like this, but that allows for multiple quotes and then randomly selects one. It can either be a background update or to change on click.

Yes, I know about it.
I believe this could be one of the next functionality addon.
@tampiss , first thing i tried is to add multiple widgets each with different text, but it's not possible like klaberr said... each widget should have it's own text .
and would you consider adding more font size if u plan another release ? maybe to 40 or 50

yes sure, the font size is not problem. will be add in next release.
can you upload the apk here please.
Nice app. Love it.
Could you possibly include an option to put a shadow/outline for the font? So that the words will stand out against colourful background.
Thanks!
Love it, really good work and a perfect idea
Please add different widget sizes.
very nice! highly customisable compared to Simple Text. looking forward to the next update. thanks for sharing!
great idea, I really like it. can you please add cyan as a color option? #00ffff thanks
This is very cool and very smooth I love it! Maybe on future releases you can add font packs? Or maybe like an addon like with handcent so it doesn't make the app too big
Like this!
apk file please
Please add apk here.... Much easier than having to move from laptop to phone to download.

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.

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").

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.

Sorry，we make a mistake.But from now on we will update this thread when release a new version.You can follow this thread.Thank you！
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...

It's also 5x4 on my phone,looks good,but it's better if it has the feature of setting grid size,right?
I've used several popular launcher apps.This one I‘ve never used befour.It looks good so far.Maybe I can have a try.
I'v heard this app from my friend.and now I still use it. At first,I'm interested in automatic classification.but sometimes it‘s not very clear.Several days ago I update it and I want to say,WOW,I really like the manual classification feature.:good:
Generally speaing,it's a very promising launcher!
Pros: Nice UI and I'm interested in its classification.It's very convenient to look apps up and I can classify apps by myself.This is unique.:good:
Cons: It's laggy when exiting back to the launcher from other apps.
Keep up the good work!

in addition,I love the look of the icons but I am accustomed to reading temps in Fahrenheit not Celcius and I'd like to change that.
Update now,you guys can edit category as you want now!
Editing category is becoming more convenient:good: But I can't refresh the online theme

well, I've been testing it and goes very well, some suggestions and some doubts...
1 - Suggestion, will be nice a donation button instead of the ads at the bottom of the screen
Doubts
1 - How can I add icon to the main screen or only admits widgets?
2 - I put a clock widget and have 2 sizes, total screen or bare minimum
3 - I was searching but until now I didn't see how much memory takes the launcher on the phone
Issue
Sometimes I must enter to an app to put it on favorites later, sometimes even doing that I can put it in favorites.
Very pro! I love the app hub! With a donation button on settings instead of ads, will be very nice!

Thank you AgustinH for your suggestions and feedback, really appreciated.
Answer to suggestion 1: I'll put such an option in coming updates to remove ads.
Answer to doubts:
1- Currently you can only add widgets to the Idle screen, where you can minimize and hide them, the purpose of that to enjoy the back ground you have set, and that's why I implemented Homescreen Apps Hub to add apps and folders.
2- You can resize the widgets all you want vertically and horizontally, and the beautiful thing that you can set different size and position for both portrait and landscape for each widgets. There's a resize handle on the bottom right of each widget.
Symbian Launcher remembers the state (minimized / maximized), size and position for each widget in both portrait and landscape and when it's maximized and when it's minimized. Basically it's up to you to arrange them the way you want.
3- I believe you need a third party application for that. But in general I designed Symbian Launcher to be moderate between the usage of memory and processor based on the nature of each feature and how frequently it will be used.
Again thank you and please explore it more and let me know how it goes.

Sure! I tried in Nougat, now I'll test in Marshmallow
"Sometimes I must enter to an app to put it on favorites later, sometimes even doing that I can put it in favorites. "
I missed this, could you please explain it more. Do you mean that you can't drag apps from [Installed Apps Menu - The one with search feature on top] and drop it inside [Homescreen Apps Hub]?
There are too many advertisements.

Awesome! Thanks!
Hello! I LOVE the last update. Something I noticed un my daily driver (LeEco Le Max 2), is that the Launcher doesn't work properly in the multitask. As you can see in the screenshots, for example if I go to the clock and then go yo multitasking yo close apps you can see that doesn't appear the main screen, just appear the last app I used.
Edit: How many favourites can I add on the app hub? 4? I can't add more, even if I put some apps in folder
