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.
*Updated: Added more icons and .psd file.
I wasn't intending on making a thread for these, but i got quite a few PM's about them, so instead of replying to everyone, one by one, i decided to post it here...
What is PolaDroid??? Polaroid widgets that are arbitrarily designed to overlap one another.
I use Desktop Visualizer (large) to set up the widgets. I also recommend using Launcher Pro Plus to re-size and place them.
Included Icons:
Browser
Camera
Contacts
Email
Facebook
Fantasy Football
Market
Music
Spades
Text
Tools
Twitter
Video
Voicemail
Weather
*Bank of America
*Favorites
*Games
*Navigation
*Froyo (for whatever reason)
i will add more icon if enough people request similar ones
now for the screenshots:
hope you guys like them

yes, if you want the overlapping you HAVE to use launcher pro PLUS.
use desktop visualizer (large) as the starting point.. get the icon on the screen and re-size to a 1x1 icon.. then when u get a few of them on the screen placed where u want, expand each icon and they will overlap..
Very nice. Thanks.
Is there a psd in there? if not can you upload one please?
Thanks bk718 !!
Love, love, love the icons! I set up one screen with three on it, looks awesome! I'll keep checking back to see if/when items are added =)
Gorgeous

5 rows, 5 columns.. but you could use just about any number of rows and columns for different setups..
and the font is called 'bobcat'.. i've had it since my Photoshop CS3 days.. don't remember where i got it from as its been a couple of years now..
Well, Sunday afternoon, wife and kids away so I went on with some icons in the sony erirsson font. When you rooted your phone and use this font as your default it looks great on your phone...nevertheless worth sharing. Here some screens in use:
Here are the white PNG icons in Sony Font containing the following:
Applications: GPS, Music, Pictures, Tools, Video, Weather
Homescreen: Dial, SMS, Mail, Shop, Twitter, Web
Games: Action, Arcade, Cards, Puzzle, Race, Sport
Using Smart Shortcuts you can use these icons as your folder icon and make shortcuts on your screens, when you tap them a folder opens with the chosen applications you chose making the folder in Smart Shortcuts.
If you are using Desktop Visualizer these icons are 100x100 png, they are a bit smaller in words of course as I went of the edge a bit.
They look a bit blurry on the screenshots, but that's because I cropped the screenshot png which already is a small file ofcourse. On your telephone it looks sharp as a razorblade ;-)
EDIT: The best thing is of course when your wallpaper is not scrollable (setting in ADW). For that I made 9 wallpapers which looks good with those icons. 3 like in the screenshot and another 6. Also added as attechment. They are 490x854 photo's pasted in a 960x854 background. Just swipe them to maximum and there you go Watch out, there are 2 nsfw pictures in it as well. Herewith an overview of all wallpapers, obviously as i explained you won't see the white parts, it is necessary to get a perfect single wallpaper (unscrollable) for all your screens. For the first two when you want to add the text icons exactly in the squares, make sure you have selected in adw settings, 5 coulomns and 6 rows, than it will fit when using smart shortcuts, this app is free from the market.
Cheers,
Arnold
added 9 single screen wallpapers for non scrollable use. That way you can make different pages using those icons.
Thanks for sharing and putting time to make these.
Although i am totally noob & didn't get it how to do all that (due to my poor english), but really awesome effort from your side Great & Thank You very much ^^
Excellent, and many thanks for this. I don't, however, know how does one change the icons for the apps, what's the app/technique to do that?

Just download the program 'Desktop Visualiser' it is not available in the market for the X10, but you can find the .APK on this site. That program is very simple to use, no explaination needed.
Also, extremely nice backgrounds, I already have extremely similar icons (Tallmin: http://www.droid-den.com/android-guides/android-tallmin-icon-set), so most likely won't be using them, but almost certainatly will make use of the backgrounds!
Your wallpaper collection gave me a boner!!

On a completely unrelated note, my X10i gave me the 'charging bug' for the very first time just now

Thank you, nice to hear people like them. Spent 4 hours on it to find wall papers which will fit the icons as a glove. Personally I use them with SMART SHORTCUTS, as desktop visualizer and my phone are not friends, so smart shortcuts folders....that is what you see in the screens.
It is very easy to install. Read the first post and it will work. If you have questions or need help, just post a reply and people will help you...that is the great thing from this community.

I've sorta been using your icons (sorta because i like images ) and trying a new dual screen type approach with sophisticated sleek words and minimal view on one home screen with the big colourful images on another home screen. Havent gotten it to look 100% yet as its very hard to get it all to fit nicely with a wallpaper, but when I do i'll post on the desktop thread!

Well, as I am also a photographer and have my studio by the house my wife is used to some girls nudity, actually she is more than once my model, artistic naked photos are great,
I dont like the pornographic pictures, but artistic naked like the third screenshot, which happens to be set as my default screen, is really something I like....
I also can't understand why people are having problems by such an innocent picture like the black/white behind picture I posted above, the great thing by these pictures is that you are not seeing anything pornographic at all...
I have had several discussions already about this subject, I always say, if you like it, use it, if you dont like it grab another background...
So, convince your girl you are just an art lover....

Good Day everyone,
We would like to introduce our first widget here to gather feedback from all the android user/developers in the forum.
Basically the concept is to provide a huge/big contact widget to make it earsier for user to make phone call under certain condition. (driving, or fast call using single hand). Beside that, this we also provide the features for user to choose their own skin/frames of preferences.
Below are the official description in the Market:
Create Simple Life - Add your favourite contact to your homescreen.
With this, a call or SMS to your favourite contact is just a touch away.
Boring with the dull Android call widget?
We provide you the option to choose your own preference of skin for your widget.
Feature Details:
1. Add 4 favourite contacts to homescreen
2. Option to choose either CALL, SMS or both action for ONE Touch event.
3. Option to choose your own preference of skin for the widget. (Random features also included)
4. Now you can make a phone call with 'speaker on' by just clicking on your contact.
As we still new here, we cannot include any screenshot and download link in this forum. Sorry.
You can download it by searching for "Contactz" in the market.
If you like it, please support us by giving your high rate in Google Market, recommending to your friends and forums.
On the other hand, we are looking forward to receiving your feedback and comment,we will keep working and make improvement from current version.
Please reply to this thread if there is any issue. We really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
Just as an update, we had just release a new version which have features as below:
1. Option to choose "Call with Speaker On".
2. Support contact with multiple phone numbers.
3. New features to crop contact photo to prevent unwanted image scaling.
Please email us if you have any issue
Help us to rate it if you like it. Thanks
I haven't tried it but it sounds like a great widget! Thanks! I'll be sure to keep my eye on this one just in case I need it.
Pretty good.
Works well on my HTC. Pretty useful when driving.
Keep it up!
Hi All,
February 3rd, is known as Spring Festival or Chinese New Year for the Chinese. In order to celebrate it, we release four very special and unique skins for Contactz.
Hope you all like it.
Help us to rate it if you like it.
Thanks
p/s: Valentine skin is coming very soon.

Couldn't get it to work on my HTC Desire with Oxygen RC7 and LauncherPro Plus.
The widget seems to work OK but when I click "Done" there's no widget added to my home screen.
Only thing I would say is that when choosing the skin I wanted it clear so I chose no skin, but there's still a border around the widget. Also there's no option to change the colour of the contactz part to bring the options up, pretty hard to see black font on a black background. Another option you could release is an option to delete their names and just have the contacts pictures.

Nice app even nothings new. I dont like the skins. Some more minimal wil be appreciated.
The icon are to much big so this cause problems when I resize the widget.
1,93Mb are really to much for a simple widget.
I think that with small image contact space and nice interface it can be better.
For now I use Sense again.
Nice, useful!

Love this widget... thank you so much. Especially love the animation.
I'd like to make a request for consideration.... For those contacts with multiple numbers can a box like the "Call & SMS Option" with those numbers be displayed for selection? Up to 3 numbers would be great if screen estate permits.
Thanks again for an awesome widget.
Been looking for a widget like this!
Awesome widget! Works great on my Dell streak. I've been looking for a contacts widget like this with the single tap execute along with the eye candy. So far the "no frame" and "default frame" are my fav. My least fav frame is the "iphone". lol, it looks ok.
Suggestions:
-Create the option for a single contact w/frame as a 2x2 widget.
-More frame options to choose from. Maybe some other popular phone frames besides the iphone.
Thanks again.
Would like to try but it's hidden from my SGS Vibrant in the actual Market app. When I attempt install from the web based market, it says that my device is incompatible. Oh well.

LaunchBoard for android is your perfect app drawer replacement. Launching apps has never been this easy.
Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appthrob.android.launchboard
What do app drawers do? Show you all the apps all at once, how dumb?
Meet LaunchBoard, and say goodbye to searching through long list of apps & cluttered folders
Let's admit it: 90% of the time, you exactly know the name of the app that you want to launch. With LaunchBoard, you use this knowledge to avoid seeing unnecessary apps in the process of launching apps
It's all in the first letter of the app. To open 'w'hatsapp, you quickly press 'w' & you're presented with just the apps that start with 'w'
Long press apps and mark them as favorites to make accessing those apps even easier.
There are 2 ways to use LaunchBoard:
Launcher icon
Homescreen widget
Pin the Launcher icon to the bottom tray of your homescreen. Clicking on it will open Favorites by default. So, if you have marked all your frequent apps as Favorites, they are just a click away. If the app you want is not in your Favorites list, click on the 1st letter of the app in the keyboard to quickly get to the app
Adding the LaunchBoard Widget to your home screen is the best thing you can do to launch apps. YOU CAN THEN GET TO ANY APP WITH JUST A SINGLE TOUCH. Try it, you'll fall in love with it.
Use the Theme Engine (Settings -> Appearance -> Theme Engine) to tweak the look & feel of the app. Using Custom themes, you can create & apply any number of themes. Intermediate and advanced level of theming allows you to tweak the colors of every aspect of the app.
Hope you enjoy this app. Have suggestions? Let us know in the comments

How LaunchBoard is better?

Thanks for providing me a chance to explain how LaunchBoard can be better than the other alternatives, I'll try my best
To launch apps using search bar in other launchers, you would need to:
- click the search bar or swipe down
- Type in letters until the app you want shows up
- In most of the cases, the results will be shown on top of the screen (as in Google Now launcher). So you have to stretch your fingers to get to the app
LaunchBoard on the other hand was built to get work done with as less clicks as possible (perfectly suits those who like to type a lot less)
If you want to open 'Whatsapp', you just press 'w' and it's readily available to you for launching.
Here's the most important part:
To tap the fullest potential of LaunchBoard, you need to do 2 things:
1. Add the LaunchBoard widget to your homescreen, so that any app is then JUST ONE CLICK AWAY
2. From LaunchBoard, long press on the apps that you frequently use, and select 'Add to favorites'. e.g. If you add 'Whatsapp' to your favorites list, it will be shown on top whenever you press 'w'. This way, you don't even have to skim through the list of apps to open your favorites.
Of course, Z Launcher provides a creative cum innovative way to reach apps by drawing letters on the screen. But it's just more fancy than practical. You would feel great for the first few days, but later on, swaying your hands to draw letters would begin to feel taxing when the craze dissolves.
Try the LaunchBoard homescreen widget to launch apps for 2 days and you're sure to get addicted to it a lot, as it's simple, and just that.
The best part is that you're not locked down to a specific launcher(as in the case of Z launcher). You can add the LaunchBoard widget and icon to any launcher.
Just choose a launcher that you like the most, or keep switching between different launchers when bored, but add LaunchBoard to every one of them and have a consistent Launching experience
Thank you!
Actually a good idea! There are launcher which do this but adding a widget on my homescreen is actually IMHO preferable.
There are two things which could be better: The icons for the favorites are to large and waste unnecessary space. Maybe you can make them scalable.
And second support for icon packs would be great. When use my launcher with a super duper icon pack and then look at the ugly system default icons in your widget...
Thank you

Battery friendly
The best thing that I like about this app, apart from being able to launch apps quickly is that, it is extremely battery friendly. No battery drain due to background jobs, and nothing. Just pure value as it works flawlessly.
Thanks for the in depth answer. But wouldnt the gesture like writing faster then having to put up an keyboard and presseing a key?

LaunchBoard was built with the main intention of reducing the number of clicks needed to get to the app you want to launch.
If opening the keyboard using the app icon and then pressing a key seems a lengthy process for you, that's the exact reason why we provide the LaunchBoard homescreen widget along with the app.
As you can see, the widget houses all the keys, and with a quick press of a key from your homesceen, you can get to your app.
Using LaunchBoard from the application icon has its own advantages too. It can be readily accessed from any home screen window, if pinned to the bottom tray.
Also, it shows the favorite apps when opened. So, if you have marked all your frequently used apps as Favorites, they can be readily accessed by just a single click using the LaunchBoard shortcut icon
Thank you!

Battery consumption was a very high priority for us, so we built LaunchBoard and made it do just what was necessary to function the best.
If you have any suggestions, please share it, we will strive hard to make the app even better for you.

Add an option to change layout to qwerty. Please. :fingers-crossed:
@devthrob excellent work bro keep it up. Thanks and good luck
Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk
@devthrob It's an incredible tool, in miui we don't have application drawer, to find an application becomes a problem, Launchboard is not a replacement for the launcher, it's a great complement to the launcher of miui, it doesn't break with the design and is very practical.
Two suggestions,
1. Customize the size of icons and labels in the results.
2. Exclude/hide applications from results
Thanks for the great job.

Thanks for the suggestion, @z1_nile
We initially didn't opt for QWERTY layout, as it isn't a traditional keyboard where u type in words. U always press just one key, and the app that you want shows up. For this, the alphabetical order seemed to fit more naturally, as not everyone is very familiar with QWERTY, especially old aged ones.
That said, we'll add an option for QWERTY layout in a near future update if you still insist, as your comfort is what matters the most, and we have the duty to make sure that every single user should be in their comfort zone when using the app.
Hope you enjoy the other aspects of the app until then.
We would really appreciate a Play Store review, if you enjoy using the app.
Thanks again!
Great app. QWERTY option would be nice as well, I agree.
i'm finding it quite useful with swipe up gesture to open this app in nova.
I feel like for the widget, you should hide the keyboard part of the app. selecting from a keyboard widget to open another keyboard is a bit strange!
An option to resize the icons + icon pack support, are about the only feedback I have to add. Solid effort!

I did gave a play store review. With the same request though. Rated 5 stars. It's actually quite odd to use 2 layouts of keyboards so I requested for qwerty. The alphabetical is nice but it kinda confuses regular qwerty users.
Hope to see an update soon. :good:

Thanks a lot. Keep enjoying the app.
Love the app, but I agree, a QWERTY option would be nice. I find myself having to think where the letters are.
QWERTY is available now

Could you add an option to the poll to launch the LaunchBoard from a side or edge gesture?
