Presents: VTL.Launcher v.1.6.5
****This release is now under a NEW PACKAGE NAME and no longer SIGNED DEBUG to prep for Market Release. Please uninstall any version pre 1.6.0 first unless your ROM SHIPPED WITH VTL.LAUNCHER INSTALLED Sorry for making you do that but it is necessary and the new features and options make it worth it!****
***NOT YET HONEYCOMB COMPATIBLE*** the recent 3.1 update has added some new challenges.
This Launcher is designed with landscape tablets in mind! (that's not to say it doesn't also function well in portrait mode..... as it does)
First off this launcher is based on ADW.Launcher's Source code so I would like to thank anderweb for all the ground work. Most ADW Themes will work for VTL.Launcher.
Features Include:
- tablet layout optimized (smaller screens will need to play with desktop layout and dock icon size)
- elastic scrolling
- 3 individually configurable/toggleable scrollable dock bars
- individual controls per dock for background/reflection/visibility/icon size
- icon size for docks can be set different per orientation
- user folders to place shortcuts to apps, bookmarks, contacts, etc.
- icon changing for user folders and apps.
- quick action items menu when long pressing apps, folders and widgets.
- catalogs for organizing apps in the app drawers
- swipe actions on app drawer to navigate catalogs
- uncataloged catalog where new and uncatagorized apps fall
- 1 to 7 homes screens with sense-like previews
- configurable action bindings (swipe up, swipe down, home button)
- long hold uninstall from trashcan
- moveable trashcan location
- hide home screen icon labels
- auto rotate orientation
- system persistence with configurable locked orientation
- widget size spanning
- scrollable widget support
- live wallpaper support
- fullscreen mode
- backup/restore settings
- compatible with "most" ADW Themes
This should work on virtually any device. Though non large screen devices may have issues with the layouts so you will have to play with the desktop column, row numbers, dock sizes etc.
Bug fix 1.6.5 Fixes a layout bug on the docks that messed with alignment.
Bug fix 1.6.4 fixes crash issue on some devices from 1.6.3
New in Version 1.6.3:
-Icon number per dock is now dynamic depending on dock width, orientation and icon spacing.
-Added Settings for Icon Spacing per Dock per Orientation.
-Icons on Dock now have a dynamically set Layout Alignment/Gravity per Dock per Orientation.
-Added Settings for Icon Alignment/Gravity per Dock per Orientation.
-Cleaned up A TON of old code.
-Fix issue with not showing in market for a few tablet models.
The Launcher is FREE here for XDA members. It costs 2.99 on the Android Market and with that you will get automatic updates and support further development.
MOD EDIT: REMOVED LINKS
Just wanted to clarify something in case it wasn't clear. Purchasing on the market only gets you "AUTO" updates.... updates will also be posted here for you to download free.... don't worry.... you guys won't miss out on anything if you don't buy it in the market... just wanted to use the market to get it out to more users. And to those that have or will donate.... THANK YOU! It means so much to see the support the community provides to it's developers and I want to keep supporting you as well!

gTabDevs fo'eva (I know - stupid - but it's midnight....)

Thanks! Unlike previous Ported Launchers I have posted here I am actually developing from source code on this one so you can expect more active development on this launcher.

Lil bit of a noob but how do I get to the settings for the launcher?
Swyped from my St0n3d VEGAn 1.0 Beta 5.1.1 G-Tab

Sweet Jesus that's awesome! Cant wait to see where this goes.

Enjoy.

Gona give it a go now!

excellent work. im loving it. if i may, is there any chance to have the option of a transparent dock (no fade) and perhaps the option of no reflection in the dock? regardless, this thing is great. it feels a lot faster and smoother than launcher pro.

Those options are definitely doable. After I finish up VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition Beta 1 I will look in to those and more!

I know this is made for the G Tablet, but I love it on my Nook Color.

Anyone having problems with calkulins? notification pops up half way and cripples everything. I can open the app drawer but thats about it. Any ideas?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

Great work GoJimi. I've been wanting something like this for a while.
I ended up just removing the dock bar from my ADW EX and putting my 'dock' as just standard short-cuts along the bottom. (saw this idea on another thread).
Downside is that my 'dock' is only on one screen, or I have to replicate it across all screens. This launcher solves that problem.
One request. on ADW EX I can set it to 10 x 10 columns. I think 8x8 is the most supported by this launcher? I have mine set to 10 Columns, 8 Rows.
Can this be added to VTL?
Thanks!

I'll look into it for you..... knew it was only a matter of time before people started asking for EX features... ... just so everyone knows EX isn't open source so any of those features that he has there I would have to figure it out from scratch (not that I am incapable, mind you). Just remember that when asking for EX features that it will be more work for me than just copying over some code so it will take time. Also keep in mind I am trying to keep this as lightweight and functional as possible so some feature requests may be put low on the list. This request is not a major undertaking and may actually get added. All of course "after" I finish up VT.GE B1.

I get the exact same problem and I always have to restart my grab. I'm on tnt lite 4.4

Does it support themes? I can't get any to show up. Thanks for your work!!!

Thanks for this, I really like it. One thing though.. the app drawer is really sluggish on your Vegan gingerbread. Anything you can do to smooth it out?

Themes haven't been fully tested yet, but the plan is in place for it to support themes. So Soon.

gojimi, you're a beast...
just cranking out amazing stuff... thanks
i love how i can put the trash can either up or on the bottom since it's just closer to where my hands are. everything is SO customizable... would it be possible for you to add that option to change the placement of the status bar to the bottom as well? i think having the status bar on the bottom would be ideal... again, thanks a lot bro

[App] Wallpapyrus - Play with wallpapers

Wallpapyrus - Play with wallpapers.
Wallpapyrus is for you if you like iPhone style wallpaper (no scrolling)
or
a new wallpaper on each home screen
or
wallpaper change at intervals or on phone unlock
or
a running animated slideshow
or
iPhone DeepEnd app like 3d effect
or
see Boot animations as live wallpaper
read on for more........
Android Market link - https://market.android.com/details?id=in.vineetsirohi.wallpaper
Wallpapyrus has following features:
1) Four wallpaper modes:
a) Normal mode with four styles:
1. iPhone - Wallpaper does not scroll just like iPhone and of course like many other phones.
2. iPhone with wallpaper switching - Wallpaper does not scroll with home screen but can switch after set duration, phone unlock or on double tap on home screen.
3. Android - Wallpaper scrolls with home screen like normal android wallpaper.
4. Android with wallpaper switching - Wallpaper scrolls and can switch after set duration, phone unlock or on double tap on home screen.
It's not that normal mode after all. What do you think?
b) Chain - Different wallpaper on each home screen. Either set individual wallpapers for each home screen or set folders as wallpaper source. Ultimate option for theming.
c) Collage - Collage of wallpapers. Brings the feeling of randomness and chaos on your wallpaper.
d) Animated wallpaper - the coolest of the lot - an animated slideshow of wallpapers. See it to believe it. Don't overuse it. Other modes are also entitled for the same respect.
e) 3D Effect like Deepend app of iPhone - turn phone to see effect
f) Use boot animations as live wallpaper. Just unzip boot animations in a folder and put that folder in sd-card. Choose that folder in app. If multiple folders are selected boot animations are shown at random.
2) Wallpaper layout modes (available in normal mode only):
i. fill screen
ii. fit screen
iii. fit height
iv. fit width
Now don't get limited in your choice.
3) Set folders in sd card for wallpapers. Multiple folders can be selected and sub-folders support is also available. Wallpapers are selected randomly. For Normal mode (iPhone and Android without switching) wallpapers can be set from gallery or file manager apps - just like with normal wallpapers. Use “set as wallpapyrus” instead of “set as wallpaper”.
4) Wallpapers switch either at set duration or on phone unlock. Double tap to change wallpapers is also available.
Its the best wallpaper changer / switcher in the market.
5) Get cool pics from Flickr and your friends’ Facebook pics right on wallpaper.
6) Show/hide date, icons for facebook and flickr pics on wallpaper for easy identification on wallpaper.
7) Filters for color, brightness, saturation and contrast. Wallpapers look the way you want them.
8) Wallpapyrus does not run in the background but only when the user is on launcher. It goes to sleep when the user opens an app or locks the phone. For example if you don’t use your phone for a day wallpapyrus would not run in background and kill your battery. So the effect on cpu and battery is very limited.
9) Memory usage depends on screen size – less memory usage for small screen phones like Samsung galaxy ace, htc wildfire etc. So no worries for low ram phones.
10) All these features are made easy to use and organise by "Settings Wizard" and help button on each page of the app. It could not be easier.
Of course, more is coming....
Finally its upto you to decide whether wallpapyrus is worthy of what it claims to be. Your feedback by way of emails is imperative for improvement of existing features and addition of new features. Use "Email developer" provided in the menu for easier communication. If your language is other than english just send mail in your language - developer will use google translate. So don't hesitate.
If you like the app, share app with your friends by using "Share app" option provided in the menu.
A tutorial with filters : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261966&page=7
Things I am working on:
1) I have one little problem. Wallpapyrus has default wallpaper after reboot with text "Wallpapyrus". I have to set wallpaper again and again when I am rebooting. Can you look at it please? - Bugscze - solved
2) First, thanks for the app. Really impressive. I'm not sure if it would work with a Live Wallpaper implementation or not but I would love to see schedules for wallpaper switching. For example...set the app to use one folder for Monday during the day, and then switch to another folder for Monday evening. Another example would be to use one folder or image for weekday's and another folder or image for weekends. Pwall, a non Live Wallpaper app, has this functionality, but the image quality on AMOLED screen's isn't the best. - solarus2011 - I want to give you option to save each and every setting in a profile; not just folder - so its taking late.
3) This gray scale filter is really cool! Plz make more like sepia, rainbow, android green, orange sunrise, etc. I think that's makes this app very unique. - solved ;-) And don't forget an image quality option in, mhh, 3 steps? - Andrzej - - yet to be solved
4) Currently I can only select top level directories to display images from it. My images are all in subdirectories on my external SD card and there are also some directories among them I don't want to be displayed by Wallpapyrus - Karsten. - solved

Nice application, congratulations. Maybe you should think of another name as this one might be misleading as there is a DroidWall app in the market, which is well known.

thanks for the big update
A lot of enhancement since my last trial. But my personal opinion:
1. when double click and changing the wallpaper, there's an extra orange screen which is annoying. Its better to show the current wallpaper until the next is loaded and displayed
2. Could I hide the top left icon please?
3. bug? double click to change wallpaper. Notice the center position of the wallpaper. Then swipe to another page and the wallpaper will shift to right side a bit (Go launcher here)
Thanks.

1. the orange screen is to notify the user that double click is registered. Now i will change it to current wallpaper and show wallpaper change notification on the current wallpaper itself. Is that ok?
2. I will give option to hide icon in next update.
3. Is wallpaper scroll on in settings? kindly check.
You can ask for any customisations you want. I am always eager to hear from you.

Great work
i really like it!

Thanks for the prompt reply.
1. Since user will see the wallpaper changed after double click, its unnecessary to state the notification at all in my opinion (and its stated in setting screen already)
3. Maybe I stated not clear enough or happen on me only. First load a new wallpaper and note the center position. Swipe to another page and then swipe back to the original one. The noted location of the 'center' is shifted to right edge. This only happen on the newly loaded wallpaper for the first time.
All wallpapers are 960x480 in size for scrolling and launcher is Go Launcher Ex if these matter.
Thanks the good work so far

I am looking into the problems.

1. When i tested the app on a folder with 500 images, it took 1-2 secs to change wallpaper. So i provided the notification so that the user does not lose patience and double clicks unnecessarily.
2. you are dead right on the problem. thank you for pointing out. the problem occurs when you double click on a page other than the centre page. may be you have an even no of pages in your launcher. i am going to correct it soon.

1. oh, I don't have that much wallpaper (~30).
2. I have 5 pages with 2 is set to default

App updated with requested changes:
2.0.1
- new Wallpaper layout mode - fill screen
- option to hide image-source-icon
- No orange screen while switching
- Now wallpaper loads with correct offset.

This is all please use the thanks button if i helped you,help me to be a member to post in development forum

Headache to read. Too much text. Seems like you just copied it all from the play store. No or minimal person opinion. Worth mentioning that some launchers are no longer under development.

Nice post rasenkiba! I found his thread as I was exploring for new launchers to play with in CM9 nightly build 8/26/2012. You've done a great job at pulling together some of the more popular launchers - I especially like knowing which launcher is your preferred.
I'd like to add to this list the Trebuchet launcher which is the default launcher on the 8/26/2012 nightly build of CM9 for the Galaxy S3. I'm still breaking it in, but it seems fast and has some neat effects - I'm hooked on "Cube Out" for the app drawer and home screen transitions.
I previously used Zeam on my HTC G2 and it had two features that I miss dearly: Swipe Up and Swipe Down. I had them mapped to open the app drawer and open the notification bar, respectively - this allowed me to remove the app drawer button to be used by something else. I liked the minimalistic features of Zeam. After using Trebuchet I'm looking for a launcher that combines some of the Zeam features with some of the eye candy of Trebuchet.

thanks

very nice list, I also liked seeing which you preferred.
I usually go through a phase where I'll download every single app I can find for a specific function (photo editing, launchers, etc) and test them all out and delete the worst until I'm left with one.
I have a droid incredible, and was on CM7 for a while and fell in love with ADW. I'm big on screen transitions and gestures (man, do I miss lock screen gestures).
Now, I'm on Albinomans JB rom (which kicks so much ace) and have only tried Holo and Nova. Nova is the one I've stuck with as of now, and buying the Prime version was even more similar to the options of ADW.
Anyway, great compilation of launchers and I hope the info I posted helps some others as well.

<Troll>
You forgot TouchWiz
</Troll>

nice work man .. and respect for the commitment and time spent

shelling out the money for nova prime
Not sure if you only wanted to include free launchers but Nova launcher is nice but if you spend the extra few bucks on the Prime edition, it is by far and away the best launcher I have ever used.

After testing ICS on my Xperia Pro, and using Nova Launcher Prime, I went back to GB because of some things that were worse in ICS, mainly RAM usage, games and wi-fi hotspot. I've been looking for a launcher that has 2 options that made me buy the prime version of Nova; using the home key to get into the app drawer (and then returning to the desktop) and folders in the app drawer. Is there a launcher that has those 2 functions BUT isn't Go Launcher EX?
Go Launcher EX isn't bad but, 6 icons per folder in the app drawer in landscape mode isn't enough (it had 10 in v2.85!)
I just loved using Nova, too bad it's ICS+ only

I'm not sure about the folders in the app drawer, but I'm pretty sure I remember ADW EX doing home button binding.

i like adw laucher

Hmm, ADW EX needs money, which I got but, Google hates my debit card or something. I got Nova because they also sell it outside of the Market ^_^ (and TiBu and the Sixaxis thing)
But yeah, my vote goes for Nova Prime in ICS, and the not-free category.
And Go Launcher for GB and older devices (and free!), I'll stick to 2.58 because of the folders' uselessness in landscape. Which used to have 10 icons instead of the actual version's 6...
Oh, Holo Launcher (the paid one) is nice too but, it has no drawer folders AND isn't available outide of the market.

I seem to have settled on Holo Launcher HD for my uses.
I tried out the paid version of Nova and it was good, but just not my cup of tea. However, I keep seeing lots of praise for Nova. Now I am wondering if there is something about Nova that I overlooked. Besides folders in the app drawer and being sold outside of the market, what is it about Nova that you all like so much?

thanks

I liked Nova because of the homescreen transitions. I know its not the best reason. Also, I was on an AOKP ROM for a while and purchased prime.
I think the acronym "HD" lured me into Holo, but I didn't see any noticable differences in appearance. I only tried it out for about an hour though.
I really really really wish that ADW would make an ICS/JB launcher...

Thank for sharing!

In my case it was the ability to use the home key to open the drawer and have folders in the drawer. Also, it's not ugly and has many customizable things

[LAUNCHERS]Launchers & Lockscreens for the HTC One S[LOCKSCREENS]

Right we all know that the launcher that will be coming with this beast of a phone will be Rosie. For me though i like to have a variety. So putting this thread together to give you guys a variety of Launchers i found on the market. So rather than having to find them all over the place i will keep everything here in one place and will try and find as many as i can and update the thread with any further updates the developers release for the launchers.

Zeam Launcher
Description
To add Applications grid shortcut, select Add > Shortcuts > Applications grid.
Try toggle Manage wallpaper if screen scrolling isn't smooth, select Preferences > Workspace > Manage wallpaper.
Zeam, thanks to its minimal aesthetic, not only looks fast but feels fast. It's also incredibly simple to use, and unlike the other launchers it actually works very well out of the box.
My favorite feature in Zeam is configurable gestures -- but not only can you bind swipe actions, like ADW, but you can also bind double tapping the screen and the Home hardware button to actions.

The side column can be personalized as well, including changing the order and position of different catagories. You can create quicklinks of your most frequently used apps and contact in the quick launch in the side column.
TSF Shell 3D has a most powerful theme function. Apart from the difference in style, some themes even allow change in the transition animation.

Lightning Launcher
Description and features
Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, Lightning Launcher is on steroïds.
Lightning Launcher: Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, this launcher is on steroïds.
Tips, please read this first:
Use "LLW App Widget" if you want to add Android widgets.
This app is started through the HOME key and not from your app drawer since LL is itself a launcher. If you cannot select it through the HOME key then you need to clear the defaults for your current launcher.
for any question or suggestion, do not hesitate to ask: [email protected]
This application has been designed to minimize memory usage and be fast: the more memory you have for your applications, the faster they will run. In other words Lightning Launcher has been built from the ground to preserve your phone's resources and keep it smooth.
In spite of its ridiculously small size (less than 60kb!), Lightning Launcher is packed with a fair amount of features and brings to Android a very unique concept: the home screen can be seen as a giant surface on which you are free to put icons, shortcuts or widgets exactly where YOU WANT, and not limited to a 4x4 grid. Pinch to zoom in or out the desktop, use the home key to switch between a full scale view or the normal size, or double tap on empty space as in the web browser to immediately see all your icons. And everything stay functional whatever the zoom level is: widgets are alive, icons can be clicked, and so on.
Lightning Launcher drops rarely used features and focuses on useful ones but comes nevertheless with numerous customization options. Icons and widgets can be moved, scaled and even rotated freely. Each object can be configured independently, you can change the font, the label, the icon and much more !
The package is extremely small, only a few kilobytes. What it means is that the Android system do not need to load several megabytes to run this app. Lightning Launcher starts faster and run in perfect harmony with your other apps.
For people kindly asking why the CALL_PHONE permission is needed (notice that this the only one needed by LL!): this is needed for direct call shortcuts, and this permission is included in all major launchers, including Go and Pro.
For other people not asking why and putting stupid one star comments: go away, you have just lost a unique chance to try something new and better, have a good day.

hi ya. thank you for your kind words but i got declined for it.

excellent thread, i didn't even know all these options exist.
did you forget LauncherPro?
as far as a personal reccomendation - on the One S I've used ADW, GoLauncher, Zeam, Apex, Nova, and LauncherPro - and my favorite is GoLauncher. The power of the One S hardware makes GoLauncher's effects and visual style work fluidly and look great. It balances speed and customization VERY well.

How to remove menu dots...

excellent thread, i didn't even know all these options exist.
did you forget LauncherPro?
as far as a personal reccomendation - on the One S I've used ADW, GoLauncher, Zeam, Apex, Nova, and LauncherPro - and my favorite is GoLauncher. The power of the One S hardware makes GoLauncher's effects and visual style work fluidly and look great. It balances speed and customization VERY well.

I've been a fan of Go Launcher from the begining, on my old Desire. Just loaded to One S and cannot seem to get rid of the ICS 3 dot menu bar at the bottom of the screen.
Really annoying. Is there a option to hide this somewhere?
Thanks in antici.........pation.

Hey, just take a look in the One S development section!
You can get rid of the 3-dot menu by using the mod "tweak machine" which you can find here:

Or take a look at the custom roms, if you want to improve the usability of your one S in general...

Nice thing I have to try it

This is for all launchers...Well the most popular ones like GO/Apex and Nova..
My favorite theme for a launcher i have to admit
Sphere Theme -
Presenting the new theme Sphere
-1400 icons
Selected it in the theme manager of your favorite launcher.

Question!
Hi! I am using ssLauncher and I love it! I want to convert my zip theme into an .apk file. Do you know how to do it?
Thanks for the great post!

Downloading. Will edit and post review later
INITIAL EDIT:
Can you please change the app icon. It just #+?*s. Initial impressions are great. The flat interface got me. As your launcher is based on miui and flat interface, make a minimal flat icon
