This is just a thread for my application: Metro UI. Please post any suggestions. I would post a link...but it won't let me. My Application is called Metro UI (BETA).
Was checking this out the other day! I didn't understand how to get the tiles going. Any help?
This. Is. Awesome.
How do you remove tiles though? it added 2x SMS tiles for some reason, and I can't find a way to remove one of them.
*edit*
NVM worked it out, just long hold the app in the app list.
Great app i like this interface a lot especially after last update
this is my suggestions for improvements so far...
-I would like to see the option to hide applications in the "appdrawer"
- Needs folders ( in the squares, it would look nice if the folder looked like the home screen so that you push the folder square and get to an page whith more squares). sorry for my bad English, hope you understand what i mean...
- would be nice to be able to resize and rearrange the squares
- also more custom icons
later on I would like to see an lockscreen in the same theme and perhaps the ability to place widgets in the squares but thats not important at the moment
but as i said in the beginning , great app i will follow this closely
Verry nice, great work!

- maybe a little more documentation how to configure
- use widgets
Agreed, being able to use this interface with the millions of Android WM7 icons out there would be brilliant. Give us the option for 3x1 etc panels and an image chooser and you are on to a winner.

cool i like it, quite fluent as well
edit/ destroys the battery, 10% usage after being installed 20 minutes on a battery unplugged for an hour wtf?
uninstalled.
The app is awesome... icons in the squares are a bit small. Havent had any problems with battery life on my samsung fascinate.
Would like to see the actual wp7 animations though. The cubed music app uses it in the" boring" layout, so it can be done.
Want to say thanks and keep up the good work. Sms tile updated with go sms, so that's pretty cool.
Well done sir.

Really nice app. Quite smooth, although on some moments it is choppy, but hope it gets fixed in final version. Even when it is in beta it is the best Metro like Launcher.
Def considering buying the full/final version. Also think about Metro like lockscreen.
This is very good!
Miss custom images and colors, and a sort option. And how about transparancy? Also if I use the back button, it exits the app..
But a very good start!

No problem with battery drain here, been using it for a day with no significant drain on the battery compared to other launchers.

I can confirm this too. If are installed more than one Launcher, with the back button it opens an other Launcher.
Metro-UI taskbar needs other icons e.g. BT, GPS, etc then only battery and singnal.
Great app. I was wondering if any possible way to get counts for tweeter and regular email? That would be awesome, otherwise very smooth on my phone.
Hey its the nicest metro ui till date, and the best part is its so light. And its super fast on my desire.
Well done sir, hope to see more customization soon, and it is currently my UI choice.
Thankyou
just thought of a suggestion. Could you give the option in the metro ui settings to turn off the highlight when you press a tile?
tiles dont show up on my mt3g
On my Droid X after I installed nothing shows up. I get the top area with battery, 36, signal, clock, and arrow but no tiles or anything, just black below that.
Any help?

You need to add tiles. You can do that by opening the app drawer and long pressing the apps you want.
FYI - You can later remove those apps by long pressing them in the app drawer again.

This is the only thing that I've been missing since moving from a Sense ROM/launcher.
Does a nice scrollable widget exist that's similar to the stock Friendstream one?
EDIT: I've tried out Socialite, but it seems to never sync properly and eventually force closes on the CyanogenMod nightly builds.
I miss it too.
Try Pure Messenger Widget.

EDIT: I was just too tired to realize what I was doing incorrectly. Trying to get a widget setup that looks decent.
All of the different variants of the Sense style widgets look really "off" for some reason. Looking further, it's definitely the pictures, as they trail a bit off the left side of the widget. (See pic)
I'm also not fond of the left/right arrows on the widget. I only set up FB, so I don't need non-working buttons.
Pure Messenger will make you forget Friend Stream every existed.

Use the scrollable version with ADW/LauncherPro. It is better than FriendStream.
Like so:
Nice setup TheBiles.
PureMessenger > friendstream with the ability to use skins, add email and sms along with twitter and FB to stream, ability to select preferred clients for clicked feed, and oodles of config settings in a nice scrollable UI with ADW or launcherPRO. Well worth a buck-fifty.
I wouldn't consider Pure messenger better than Friendstream myself.
It's nice... but sadly needs a few fixes in my opinion
1) Won't display 'mobile upload' picture notifications properly. It only shows 1 picture in the internal viewer with no way to go directly to the person's photo list.
2) Pictures display as filenames in the list view, rather than the actual thumbnail as sense does. (This might be considered user preference, but I'd prefer to see a picture rather than <randomwords>.jpg )
3) No support for built in HTC applications for Facebook nor Twitter (aka peep). While the internal viewer can be dismissed in favor of a real 'app', the selection is limited to bout 3-6 apps none of which are the built in parts of HTC's rom. (Of course if you're not using HTC roms then this isn't problem
Overall it's a great app, and the best out there I've seen, don't get me wrong.. but Friendstream still has the edge in actual functionality for basic use. Sure, No themes, lack of customization hurt, but when it comes down to using the product for what it's intended for (Keeping up with posts/photos from your friends) it has a few issues IMO.

Had a chance to play with Pure Messenger Widget a bit more today.
Overall it seems "ok" but lacking in some ways as well. You can't post directly from the widget, which is a huge strike against it. I want the widget so I don't have to clutter my homescreens with redundant apps.
Guess I accidentally went past my 24 hours so I am the proud owner, or some such thing.

I'm using the scrollable widget currently, and like I said, it's neat to watch updates, but it's a killer that I don't see an obvious way to post anything to FB/Twitter through the widget, instead I'm forced to use the app.
It just feels "clunky" for lack of a better term.
I will say that the widgets can be set up to look better, it just seems that some of the skins are definitely not ones any OCD person would want to use.

It's Launcher Pro. I'm using the Froyo wide dock (in settings) and just setting up normal apps and using the Launcher Pro icons for them.
I like how it looks with a nice black/white theme.

Erm. You just click that little star, and select "update status." You never have to open the official apps. You can also click that little arrow and select "open Facebook" so you don't ever need an icon on the screen in the first place.

Where did you get that toolbar at the bottom. It looks a lot like mine but with a few more icons. Is that a 4g between the wireless and sat?

That's Extended Controls. The second icon is the Froyo hotspot toggle, but it does have a 4G toggle option. I just don't have it on there because 4G doesn't work with CyanogenMod at the moment.

Well crap, it looks as though I'd always been fat-fingering the arrow and only saw the "open Facebook" link in there.
I recant my previous statements and accept that this is a damn fine alternative to Friendstream. (after a little getting used to)
The only issue that I have with Pure Messenger is this: When a FB contact posts something on someones' wall it doesn't show who the other person is, even if the other person is one of your contacts it doesn't show.
Got socialite running on newest cyanogen nightly. Its pretty nice really, I actually like it better than friend stream.
UPDATE (9/21/2012): We've posted a new version of Claystone - v2.4 - to Google Play @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.claystoneinc !
We've taken a lot of the feedback discovered here in this thread to improve the app, including re-introducing theme support, weather panels, and more.

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!
This app is developed by the same Dev who makes the popular Android Apps Button Savior, Smart Taskbar, and Everywhere Clipboard.
Smart Statusbar is the first and only statusbar enabler for full screen apps on android devices. No more lose track of time or important info on statusbar when you are reading, playing, or watching movie.
To enable statusbar, just do a simple top down swipe from top of screen. By default, statusbar will shows 5 seconds. You can also adjust the timeout to your preference in settings.
Please note. This app doesn't work on Honeycomb and ICS based Tablets. They are very different from phone version of Android. So no statusbar hidden problem on those tablets. So do not download if you want to use it on ICS or HC tablets.
NO ROOT REQUIRED!
FEATURES
☆ Reveal statusbar in full screen apps
☆ Gesture activation
☆ Works on 2.0 and up
☆ Adjustable statusbar enabling duration
☆ Vibration hint

jerryfan2000 thanks for bring another amazing tool for us. This app is simply amazing. wow!
By the way, is it possible to disable statusbar by gesture instead of timeout?
This feature is already in my mind. I will for sure add it.
wow! really, really great app! I'm going to do a review on this for my YouTube channel. My viewers are going to LOVE this!
Great job! awesome settings, easy to use and understand. Great beginning tutorial!
Very very well done simple app.

I thought my setting was too few too simple. Great that you likes the simple setting design.
Hello,
Is that possible to add a mod in order to make all the applications in full screen ?
Great app, I've got a handfull of requests/observations but please don't think I'm complaning at all, the app does exactly what it's supposed to, I've just got a lot of idea's. I second Prockkaii's post about making all apps full screen, I would love to see that added to this. I know in CM7 there's you can make holding menu hide the statusbar but you have to do that for every app and I don't believe it sticks after a reboot. Also a bottom statusbar option would be nice and just so you know when I tried using the bottom statusbar in cyanogen I couldn't bring the statusbar up with the top gesture either. It would also be nice to be pulling the shade down from the gesture instead of swiping once to bring up the statusbar and then a second time to slide down the shade. It would also be nice if the bar would pop up automaticaly on a notification.
In reply the request from IvanNCase and Prockkaii. I indeed had plan to add this feature but i am still trying. It is not easy. So maybe will never make it at all. But I will try my best to introduce this feature.
Request: try to make it use less Ram if you can

Thanks for the feedback.
In fact, my fear is that I'd used my Galaxy s2 for about 6 months, and during this period I'd never activate the rotation and all my applications are showing the status bar.
And now on a white screen, I see that there is a mark of the status bar. On right side, I can even see the mark of the battery.
So that's why I would like to have this feature and not remove the status bar.
But again thanks for you apps.

I think you have a screen issue like me.
I'm currently using the pixel fixer in order to fix that. I'm running it for about 2 or 3h per day, let's see what happens in 2 weeks.
Awesome!
Working like a charm so far! HTC Inspire 4G, LordClockan ICS 4.0.3. Keep up the good work! Exactly what I was looking for.
tried this out on my Galaxy Nexus and it worked perfectly as described. However, there is some lag that it particularly noticeable when scrolling through home screens and the app drawer. Once this lag is fixed/eliminated then this app will be perfect!

Hi there!
Check out my new app
Google Play ID
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fossor.wheellauncher
Wheel Launcher is a side panel that sits on top of everything on your device. Wheel Launcher does not interfere with your main launcher, but provides a fast way to reach your favorite apps and shortcuts - just press the semitransparent icon. You can hide the icon by dragging it off the screen. Wheel Launcher allows you to add any shortcut that is provided by your apps, like direct dial any of your contacts or settings shortcut, like battery, sound, Wi-Fi and so on.
Wheel Launcher is in early stages of it's development, so if you have anything to ask, suggest or if you found a bug - do not hesitate to drop me an email.
Features
• Fancy circle design
• Basic shortcuts to some common apps - dial, gallery, email, messaging, camera, drawer
• Support for any app on your device
• Support for any shortcut on your device
• Theme support, not much at this point, but there will be more
• Left/Right sided
I will appreciate, if someone with 4.3 - 4.4 can send me a crash report. :fingers-crossed: Those emulators can't be trusted.
Doesn't crash on 4.4.2

Ok since you mentioned 17 MB I gave it another try. And yes without any theme on it's 16/17 MB on xhdpi. Last night I used it with the black theme on so it spiked to 30 MB.
And I already have a Sidebar which takes around 15MB and it serves me well.. So don't get me wrong your app is beautiful and very cool, but I hate the memory constrains I have to deal with
But I'm glad I helped you fix a bug with the log.
Hope people love your app like I did. Regards
It's not crashing on 4.4.2 for me. Great job!

First, just wanted to say that I really like the look of this. Running this on AICP 4.4.2 on a HTC One. Couple of quick suggestions/questions: First, is there a way to turn this on/off and/or a setting to enable on boot? Is there a way to change the position/size of the trigger area?
On a side note, I've used an app called circle launcher (pretty much since it was first released) as a widget on my homescreen to launch my most used apps (about 15 or so). I've really like this because with the launcher icon being transparent, it provides an easy way to launch apps without messing with my layout (no matter what layout i'm using). Have you considered creating this as a widget and/or being able to launch this as a short cut? I could see maybe using this as a custom nav bar button or something similar.

Hi there, thanx and I glad you like it. You can hide the icon by dragging it off screen or by pressing "hide" button on the notification (the app will return when you unlock the device or press "show"). Currently there is no autostart after boot, but it is on the to do list. There is no size changes on the trigger area, but you can change the position by dragging it up or down (it is always floating) and/or by changing side (left or right)
As for a fully transparent trigger area - I saw a lot of feedback (on other similar apps) when users wanted to have a visual representation of this area, so I made it with a flag icon. If there will be more requests to make trigger area fully transparent, perhaps i will add this option too.
And here is some video:

New update on both versions:
You can now change icons on a main wheel. Supports most of the icon packs.
Another update:
Trigger now can be set as a rectangular shape in addition to the icon. It can be of any size, color and opacity, up to fully transparent.

Nice job. Really like the smoothness and animation. When u can add some kind of a gesture to fade in and an option to change the icon-links it would be perfect. I don't like the ring left on the screen when faded out. Also I think the Icons are a bit too responsive I make it spin offen instead of pressing the icon.
Making the icon-links change-able could be very important cos I and I think most of the users have camera, Browser and so on the homescreen or linked to gestures which takes also just 2 interactions to Start. Like the fading in and clicking the button, so no improvement. Yes yours look better I know.

Thanks Cozmos.
I will add an option to replace/change apps with what you want, but I am not an android expert and it will take a little time.
You are right, with normal launcher it takes 2 interactions to start an app, in Lazy Launcher too. But this way is more fancy and I guess at least x2 faster
Thanks for your great suggestions.
It's a good concept.
Just needs to be more customizable.
Thanks tntnt! I will make it more customizable ASAP.
Updated:
+App chooser added.
+A little more customizable now.
-Now it's not support android 3.0 below.
-Removed fancy icons

Kardeşim ellerine sağlık süper olmuş ama şu yeşil nokta olmamış bence transparan olsun daha güzel ve icon olabilirdi tıpkı holo gibi ?

@BekirARSLAN thanks.
Saolasin ozellestirme kismindayken ortadaki butona basip 13 farkli butondan birini secebilirsin.
I like this app. i just installed it. May I suggest that once you click on an application you should have the option in settings for the circle to remain fully open with with your added apps or it to collapse back to the circle.you could probably put a time out feature. I find when I launch an app I have to hit the circle again to close it because the apps block what i'm looking at. I also noticed that I have to hit an app a couple of times to launch it because the apps spin around. Hopefully that can be fixed.
Great work

When you click an icon to launch app, circle spins to right(East) and you can click again to launch it. I will make it customizable.
I think people didn't like Lazy Launcher
I will do a major update in a month.. It will be Lazy "Toucher".
