Hi, xda people, this is my first app. It's an alternative app drawer (launcher independent) in which you can choose between GRID view (default on all launchers), LIST view (WP7 like) or HORIZONTAL PAGED view (iPhone like). Perfect for people who doesn't have a drawer, like MIUI users, but avaiable for everyone who wants an highly customizable drawer: you can change any option you want

And, finally, the apk. It's free and full. Not ads, not lite version.
DOWNLOAD!
Obvious tip: Move a shortcut of AltDrawer and replace the old app drawer of your launcher
IMPORTANT, IF YOU'RE ROOT DO THE FOLLOWING:
PREVENT ALTDRAWER FROM CLOSING WHEN IT IS IN BACKGROUND
Move the app to the internal memory before doing this. And recommendable to convert back to user-app (after moving to the internal memory) and reboot before updating.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Move the apk (once installed) from /data/app/com.xuso.altdrawer.apk to /system/app/
Restart phone.
OR
With Titanium Backup go to Copy/Restore tab, long click on Alt Drawer and select "Convert to system app"
Restart phone.
If you're not root, don't worry you can use the app perfectly too (But you should think about becoming root, it rocks )

ICON CONTEST
If you like to design the new AltDrawer icon, just follow this points and send me a PM with your design
- Must be nice
- Must be related to the app
- 128x128 px at least
WINNER OF THE CONTEST: ebbinger_413
Well, tried it on SE Xperia x10 with WB's CM6 TW007 ROM with Custom kernel. it works fine but its very very slow (loading the apps in drawer - once the app drawer is loaded it works like charm). Also, if you can add paged view option in Grid style instead of scrolling that would be awesome.
Very good app but the slowness is concern. Uninstall option in the app drawer itself is the best option.
Thanks,

Slow? How many seconds does it take? It takes just 2 seconds first time to my LG P500 (600Mhz OC. @ 748Mhz) Anyway, I'll try to optimize it a little
The paged view is a 'Coming soon...' feature, don't know how soon, but yes, it was in my mind. Added to the list.
Thanks for trying and reporting
For me its not slow. Im on galaxy s.
Perfect app drawer. I liked this very much. I hope you develop soon
those coming soon features.
And i wonder if you can make it import go launcher/adw/openhome themes or icons.
Can you make fancy icon backgrounds too if possible?
Very nice!
Been looking for an alternative app drawer for a while now.
Can't wait for updates
Thanks to both. I'll keep in mind that about icons
Tried it several times, also rebooted the phone and tried again but still same takes me anywhere between 20-25 seconds each time I load.
Good work.
Hi,
please improve the load time, 15 seconds is too much.

Galaxy S rom.
Thanks Xuso!
I appreciate the work you've put into this alternate launcher. I love silly little things like being able to customize the drawer background and the option to switch to list view. The fullscreen option is going to rock!
I have about 50 Apps and it takes about 5 seconds to load. Running Synergy-RC1 on an HTC Evo at 998MHz. I think customizing the wallpaper is what is delaying the load time. I've noticed that setting it to solid black has really done the job of making it instantaneous. Perhaps if you took the image file selected, cached a local copy, and optimized the image for minimal memory then you could minimize delay.
Also, with sense there is no real way to change the app drawer functionality to this program. For now it must be done with a shortcut. Do you have any plans for making a widget out of this? I've always wondered why they didn't just have an "App Drawer" widget that lets you scroll through in list form like yours does.
Overall, very happy with the program. Thank you kindly!
*Edit*
I seemed to have made this a little faster by unchecking the "Show 'Back to Home' Button", if only slightly. Not sure why that would really impact things, but having this launch at the same if not similar speed to the built in drawer is currently what I'm trying to do. If you added a 'keep in memory' option that would help to keep the speed consistent. Thanks.

The same on my phone. LOading list of apps takes over 10s. I have also few FCs when i entered to settings.
X10 TW007.1, custom kernel
Have you considered making this a home screen replacement? AFAIK there's not a drawer only launcher out there yet, and I have seen a few requests for one...
Thanks for that great app. It took about 3 seconds to load it at first time. I guess that will make some MIUI users happy.

For me does not change at all if there is a solid color or an image as background.
And yeah, I thought the widget idea, but not for soon, I think.

My changes have been merged into CM7!
I'm starting this thread to test out modifications
This is for CyanogenMod 7, I offer no help getting this to work on anything else.
This version is an update to the ADW.Launcher that already in installed on CM7 so you will keep all your existing settings.
You can also uninstall this version at any time and ADW.Launcher will revert back to the original ADW.Launcher.
As always with these kinds of things, I am not responsible if something goes wrong, so use at your own risk.
Source is now on github and can be viewed here!
My first focus is on application management such as groups/catalogs
0.1.1 Eye Candy Release
Added:
* Backup/Restore of desktop data now also saves categories
* Screen transitions just because I like them and it can get tiresome working of usability stuff.
0.1.0 (Merged into CM7)
Added:
* If no categories, not title shows in the drawer (CM7 requirement so users who don't use categories don't see a change)
* Option to turn off the title in the drawer even if you have categories.
0.0.9
Fixed:
* Better drawer switching on swipe
0.0.8
Added:
* UNCATEGORIZED group now hides when empty
* In preparation to submit to CM7, I have added an option to enable the UNGROUPED group. Disabling the option will revert to the old way of showing the ALL group and does not show the UNCATEGORIZED group.
Changed:
* Renamed UNGROUPED to UNCATEGORIZED
0.0.7
Added:
* Application Info and Market support for Live Folders* Restore icon menu option when changing an icon
Fixed:
* Swipe on empty UNGROUPED folder fixed
0.0.6 (w/Drawer to home screen drag FC fixed)
Changed:
* Editing a user folder now lets you set a custom icon. Not being able to set an icon on a custom folder makes them less attractive for use since I can't visually label it.
Fixed:
* Fixed a drawing issue when opening the vertical drawer that causes the icons to jump
0.0.5
Changed:
* Swipe to change groups in the drawer. Up/down swipes are used for in the Horizontal pagination drawer and left/right swipes are used in the Vertical plain drawer style.
* Search and Wallpaper have been pushed to the more button in the launcher's menu. There are other options are are used more than these.
* Added Manage Applications to the launcher's menu.
0.0.4
Changed:
* Added Edit button on popup menu for Folders so it's easier to rename them. (Eventually I want to add the ability to change the icon on folders just like yo can with apps)
Fixed:
* FC when picking up Shortcuts
0.0.3
Changed:
* Moved System Settings so it's visible in menu, while Lock Desktop has been relegated to More menu. I use Setting WAY more that lock/unlock desktop.
* The group name is now always displayed at the top of the drawer. Gone is the animation showing the name.
0.0.2
Changed:
* Add ADW Settings to menu as they get removed from System Settings
Fixed:
* Fixed so install survives reboot
0.0.1
Features:
* The application popup menu replaces "Uninstall" with "Settings". This takes you to the Application Info window instead. There is an uninstall button on this screen, but also has a lot of other useful information.
* Added "Market" to the application popup window. This takes you to the application in the Market App. Great for quickly seeing updates/comments.
* Added "Choose Group" to the application popup window. This allows you to take an application and pick what groups you want it in. As apposed to opening the group and finding the application to add. Very efficient for newly installed apps.
* The popup menu can now be used in the app drawer. This gives access to the new settings, market and choose group options.
* Replaced drawer's ALL with UNGROUPED. Gone is the ALL list of applications in the app drawer. It has been replaced by the UNGROUPED list. This list only shows the apps that have no group assigned. As you move apps to groups, this list shrinks and makes it easier to find newly installed apps.
* Opening/Changing groups in the app drawer does a quick animation to tell you the name of the group.
Known Issues:
* If there are no apps in the UNGROUPED, the group still shows.
Please post your comments!
If i get enough good feedback, I'll start down the road to getting these changes merged into CM7.
Good job man, really nice improvements.
Just one little suggestions, i wish i could see the group label (top or bottom) on the drawer, insted of it fadind on bottom, that way u allway know what group of apps you are on.
Other than that really digging it. One more thing, i feel noobish asking this but i cant find it, how do you get to adw settings??

I agree, but it wasn't going to be easy so I avoided it. Considering there was no indication before, I figured this was a good first step.

Check out v0.0.2. I've made sure its in the ADW menu as it seems to vanish from the System Settings when you install this update.
Thanks for your feedback!
Got v 0.0.2, adw setting back to normal, works good. Keep tweaking this, good job, will definitely stay on it.

true story
I really like this! One suggestion (unless I just don't know how to do it) would be to allow the ability to swype between groups.
Nice work... Big fan of ADW and these mods.
Suggestion: I'm a proponent of the stupid search button --> useless! Besides its easy to map it to other soft key buttons if one needs it... I say replace it with the manage applications button similar to how it is in the stock launcher or put it under the more button.
I'm running EX unfortunately...
It's almost the perfect launcher except for the terrible groups structure. It's just wrong all the way.
I think custom menus, that you can navigate through swyping left to right, is the way to go...
I would also like a swipe-able app drawer to cycle through the groups.
Hey!
This looks pretty cool. I really like that you moved "lock desktop" as I never use it, but I accidentally hit it sometimes.
I actually had some issues with the locked desktop with ADW recently, and I was wondering if this would be a good place to mention my problem.
As it is, if the desktop is locked and you don't realize it (since I had hit it accidentally), its very confusing when you try to adjust something! The screen vibrates to acknowledge a long press, but nothing else happens. It would be great if you had a short TOAST popup ( http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Toast.html ) that said "Desktop Locked" when the user tries to move something and the desktop is locked.
Its a simple feature but it really had me confused for a while! Since I was on a nightly build I just assumed something was broken, which led me astray from the real solution!
I think a little toast popup for that would rock!
-Taylor
Is it normal to lost my ADW settings selection for the settings menu? Other than that, I am digging this!

Press and hold on the Trigger to move it to any location.
The Trigger can be shown or hidden by:

Lots of options for everyone and extremely useful.

thanks for the interest,
Strangely, the app isn't easily found in the play store. I'm guessing its not popular enough yet.
The link is under the pictures in the first post.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.varience.triggerlimited
Those with a Samsung device can download Trigger from the Samsung AppStore for the free version without the six gesture limitation.
Trigger just became even better than it already is!
Now introducing 2 New Panels: NotePad Panel, ClipBoard Panel!
Have you ever seen such a clean and beautiful notepad?
Now its easily one gesture away!
One Tip: For those who don't want to always have the Trigger icon on the screen, you can now switch to using Trigger as a Home Launcher.
Double Tap home to launch the gesture field, there's no need to keep the icon on the screen anymore.
Thank you so muck.

It should be in the store, however Samsung Apps is still verifying update v1.5, so it will be a while before v1.7 arrives on there.
:good:excellent app.. long tym user of trigger.. trigger pulling something that separate this app from hundreds of other gesture based Apps.. few suggestions from my point of view.. it will be handful if there is additional pull direction like southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest direction.. And also need additional SPL actions like back button simulation, kill task. kill all task, menu similar to aokp ROMs and lmt launcher app.. ..glad if they make into oncoming update..
Perhaps one of the best apps I've seen in quite a while. Seriously well done, from looking fantastic to being fantastic.
One constructive criticism, perhaps change the gesture panel enabler icon. Or allow us to choose another one. I personally wouldn't mind a simple grey translucent triangle that i could position in the top left corner of the screen. Unobtrusive and not unsightly at all.

one of the best apps,good job
must admit.. its a brilliant start... testing the app now...
one thing i noticed... If i keep the icon in the corner, like suppose the middle screen right corner then the swipe right option doesnt work..
similarly if its at the edge, like bottom right then the swipe right and swipe down options dont work
keeping the icon in the middle of the screen kinda defeats the purpose of it being unobtrusive .. just an opinion
(im on nova launcher with grid layout set to 6 x 4)

I'm afraid that's not something I can fix if the icon is placed in the corner or sides.
It's a trade off for putting them in certain locations.
Personally I keep mine close to the side, but with enough distance to still activate the actions.
However, maybe the next update will help.
Next update includes pulling the trigger in 8 directions! 4 more quick actions to work with, so it might make putting it to the side or corners more agreeable.

What's the battery drain like on this app? If it runs constantly on top of all apps, must be noticeable?

Barely any battery drain at all. The only part that runs on top off all apps is just the tiny icon. Nothing else runs unless you touch it.
You can think of it as just your app containing one additional image and even if you leave it there, it won't affect the battery.
Unless you choose to change the icon to display the time or battery instead. Then it's more active and might affect the battery a little bit.

Problem with the app
Hallo.
I've bought your app for my Galaxy Note 2.
At the beginning it worked but after few configuration it started to abort and at the moment it is impossible to use it.
Is there any known bug for Note 2?
Is it possible to have a working release?
Thank you.

I've replied to your message on Facebook and asked for more info.
Describe the bug you are experiencing.
Is it force closing or certain features are not working?

Hello, I've tried this app, awesome work and it seems to be extremely customizable.
However I can't think of a reason how this app can replace gmd, is it clipboard/note function?
Maybe you can emphasize on the differences to increase appeal of this app

Just gave it a quick test here and I must say it works pretty well. Specially after I assigned it to a gesture on homescreen.

Contact Searches will be nice i guess, really helps the elderly with their T9 recognition Gonna subscribe!
Its very good, very smooth. You hace just cleared my homescreen of lots of apps. The only thing left in my homescreen are Dial an App, Browser, Google Maps and Iron Man 3.
Aesthetic wise, I feel like it needs more improvement, but hey, thats only graphical part. the core part is flawless.
Suggestion: Perhaps user will be able to 'dial up' settings? You know, like going directly to the WiFi settings, or directly to storage setting to eject USB on the go, or more importantly turning on the USB debugging inside the developer mode. I'm sure this will be a major request. Although you should also add a setting whether to enable dialing up shorcut settings or not, not all people want it.
Suggestion: I guess you need to add a setting page if you want to corporate more feature, as most people want to use certain feature and dont want to use certain feature.
Idea: There are some people that hide certain app and dont want people to see it, I guess it will be a bad situation if your app shows their hidden app.
Great app, will they be a paid version? Not a fan of the ads, would give a couple bucks to get rid of them!
Sent from my Nexus 7
Yes there will be an ad-free paid version as soon as I integrate contact search and a few other features in the upcoming version.
Keep the feed backs coming, helps me make this better and better.
What about apps with space in their name? The current version dont have any space input.
I suppose you wouldn't have to type the words after the space as , as soon as you are type the first word i.e the one before the space you will have that app in the grid already, for example: typing "Google" will give u "Google Play", " Google Music" , "Google Music" etc already on scren making it easier to choose, also you can easily type just the word after the space like "Music" that will give you "Google Music" too thereby saving an additional button press for "space"
correct me if I am wrong.
Interesting app. I have a couple of suggestions on how to improve it more:
The app shouldn't show up in recent apps, as people will probably access it through a shortcut and use it to launch other apps
It would be better user experience if the dialer was drawn over your current app, instead of using your wallpaper as a background -- this would give a more fluid app launching and changing experience instead of the current feeling of being taken away from your current activity
It would be nice to be able to change the app icon grid and icon sizes -- some people will want fewer but bigger icons, some people will prefer longer list with smaller icons
Since there's quite a lot of screen space for listing the apps, you could implement (an optional) row of recently launched/recently used apps. I think a lot of users are really just switching between 4-5 most common apps and this would make the interaction faster.
In addition, there could be an option to pin a favorite app(s)
Lastly, it's not at all obvious how one can change the keypad colors (long-press on clear seems to do it), and you are left wondering if there are other settings available as well (like changing the grid size)
Like I said, the app looks great and works well too.

I wasn't aware, I'll have to check, however Dial an App is soon going to be a complete Dialer and a part of my upcoming Homescreen launcher, you can give it a try and see for yourself all the features. Your feedback will be appreciated.
You know, I'm a right handed. My phone screen size is 4.7 inch diagonal. The situation now is that, after there's only one app left in the screen, its all the way at the top left, which is quite a stretch for my thumb. You might even have problem with this yourself. So I was thinking maybe after one app has left, the app will be highlighted (somehow) and brought to the center, that would be better I think. or maybe you can just touch anywhere on the screen and it will launch that app. Or just add another button that will launch that one app left standing.
You konw, this reminds me of Ubuntu OS, which is quite similar. Maybe you take insperation from these? My point is, after a few letter, the app that you want might be the first app in the list, so you can just tap a button and it will launch the first app in the selection. Of course for me, I feel it will be better if the app selection there will have some sort of popularity calculation to determine which one comes first,kind of like when you type iin the address bar in Firefox, most frequently visited site will appear first in the list.

If you have like a hell lot of apps on your phone, this is the app the one you'd expect to save you some great amount of time. Would love to see further updates and appreciate your work. Subscribed.
Awesome app and a great idea! Can't wait for the paid version!
One small request - can you make a widget out of it? This would be an awesome full screen widget to replace my standard home screen (or maybe put it a page over from the home screen).
Contact Search would be awsome man!

When you integrate the feature, dude i'll love you..... for now i use app dialer pro because it provides a home screen widgets but as soon as you release the widget for app, app dialer pro is going to trash...... loved your app, sorry but i'm still not switching... i'll stay with you though, subscribing the thread.
A dashboard that displays current date, time, battery status and level, list of running apps (only rooted!) and list of favorite apps (customizable). It comes with 3 panels: one as described, one for running app list and one for favs. Almost everything is clickable including date, battery, time and icons of running/fav apps.
Originally made for Note Edge but works on other Samsung devices including Note8 and S9.
You need to enable the panel before it appears, see this tutorial.

Changelog:
Updated 10 May 2018 (v0.83):
bug: fixed crash on Android 8 when tapping tasks button
bug: set explicit light color for date/time (some devices would use black and black on black is hard to see)
Updated 2 May 2018 (v0.82):
bug: fixed possible crashes on Android 8
Updated 11 April 2018 (v0.8):
automatic refreshing of task list on the main panel when panel is being shown (can be disabled in prefs)
bug: fixed multiple issues with task list (not refreshing, missing apps when hide-favs pref if set)
minor: "tasks" buttons now call up Samsung's task switcher instead of task manager
minor: new icon
Updated 10 April 2018 (v0.75):
favorites can now be reordered by dragging
added Phone button to main panel (to make up for missing Phone app from favs), can be hidden in prefs
minor: added battery level text to landscape (some people requested it)
minor: added indication to tasks panel if task list is unreadable
minor: hiding Clock/Calendar/Phone apps from task list, if pref "hide favorites from running tasks" is set
Updated 8 April 2018 (v0.7):
Samsung Slook SDK was updated to 1.4.0 which hopefully fixes compatibility issues with recent phones
bug: fixed dispaying non-bitmap app icons (becoming more and more common) - e.g. IMDb
bug: tasks are now started wtih FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP flags; previously they didn't and this caused new instance to be started even for running tasks (sometimes causing data loss)
minor: tapping on current date now brings up Clock app (with Alarms, Timer, etc.) instead of date/time settings, unless the former is missing
minor: by default, hidetasks preference is false unless the app was made system
minor: added indication if EdgeBoard was made a system app
minor: added link to this XDA thread
Updated 13 May 2015 (v0.6):
fixed landscape not working for all 3 panels
added options to hide tasks or favs from the main panel to give more room to another list
increased spacing between items somewhat
fixed running task list being empty on the main panel
Task list: Android has removed access to running tasks for regular apps since Lollipop (5). However, if your device is rooted then you can make EdgeBoard a system app and this will remove this limitation. How to do that is described in the app's preferences screen. Unless you do that, refresh button won't work and task list will be always empty.
Feature suggestions:
- see why folders don't work
- show status icons like on the statusbar (signal, etc.)
- (automatically refresh task list) - done in 0.8
- (see why Dialer/Phone app isn't available in fav list) - Phone is actually part of Contacts, it's not a separate app with a separate launcher - added button in 0.75
- (drag-reorder favorite items) - done in 0.75
- (horizontal list scrolling in landscape) - wontfix - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76190042&postcount=32
Fantastic panel.

This is one of/the only big problem of this panel. I am yet to set up some service or alerter to automatically refresh it. As of now the panel doesn't refresh it at all but you can do that manually by expanding the task list of the panel (click on the "stack" icon above the list) and hitting on the refresh button there.
The panel was just approved on Samsung GALAXY Apps, I will keep it updated there so I recommend you reinstall it from the store and then update it from time to time waiting until I figure how to properly handle the running task list. Other than this the panel is finished.
OK, I noticed another thing, If I swap between two apps calling them from EdgeBoard Preferred panel, they swap slowly than using the normal preferred panel.
I hope I'm clear.
It's like every time I click on icon app on EdgeBoard panel, a new instance is created instead of calling that present in memory.
Nice. Very useful app.
Icons seem a bit close together vertically. Any way to get some more space between them, as I keep hitting the wrong one. Or alternatively make them a bit smaller?
On road map, any plans for folders or drag and drop to reorder icons?
Hey guys, just a quick note. I've got some valuable feedback about this (here and elsewhere), I'm aware of bugs around the task list in latest Galaxy Apps version and I'll be fixing them soon.
@arbit12 I'll add a setting to tweak the look of the main panel including the distance between the icons (I've crammed them together so 5 icons fit but that's probably not everyone's choice).

Download updated APK from the first post. Samsung Store is being slow so it'll be some time before they roll out the new version.
Great app. Ty for taking the time to do this i appreciate it very much
Re-arrange
Thanks for a great edge panel! Nice work! The only thing i miss is the possibility to re-arrange the icons/programs. I noticed that it might be a future function and I keep my fingers crossed that you have the energy to fix it. But again, thank you!
Hi. Sorry I am a bit of o noob. This is an app only for Note Edge? I've installed it on my Note 4 and nothing happened. I enter in App put some preferences, but what from there? Thank you and excuse me if I am annoyng.

Good app but need some more work
Great upp idea but the icons looks very small and when i touch one of them some time ti goes to another app
please in next update make icons a bigger in size and wider panel
edgeboard another major problem
The app can't pay pass the lock screen and open the app directly you have to unlock the screen manually each time.
can you plz fix it .
Is this still in development?

I would love to see the issues you outlined addressed and solved.
If you aren't planning on updating it, then is the source code anywhere if one might want to pick it up?
Sorry if these are obvious and dumb, but I really love this panel and I want to have a project to focus my attention on.

Nice to see some people are still using my panel. Nobody happened to make an improved version in this entire time?

The panel width is fixed by Samsung, I can't change it. So I can't make icons bigger without cropping them (they're square). That's as much space as I could use.

This is impossible due to security. If you put file manager on the fav list and somebody gets your locked phone they can pretty much mess it up with that file manager without having to unlock. So Android won't let you do anything except using the camera in a limited way.

It's impossible due to limited screen space. There's the iconic indicator with ~25% step so you can generally get an idea of how drained your battery is.

Yes, yes and probably yes. I'm planning to finish the project by fixing those bugs soon. I'll probably put up the source code as well.
This was a draft project I did in maybe 2 days right after getting hold of my new Edge and I'm surprised nobody made a better version yet (or did someone?), it's simple and essential to Edge if you have a few days on your hands.
EdgeBoard is my new home screen
This app is nice! My home screen now has 3 icons. The ones I use all the time are on EdgeBoard. I'm running Marshmallow on the S6 edge+. The Apps Edge panel has two columns of full size icons. I don't mind the small icons on EdgeBoard. They look better. I have run into a minor issue:
When I edit the EdgeBoard panel settings, should I be able to add apps directly to it? Or can I only show apps on that panel by editing the Favorites panel and enabling "show favs on EdgeBoard"?
Changing the apps (favs) on the EdgeBoard panel is tricky. I have to enable the EdgeBoard Favorites panel, edit it, and then use it to make the changes show up. Then I can disable the Favorites panel and just use the EdgeBoard panel.

People always need to use smart phone with one hand while driving, working, drinking coffee or eating something, and the large screen smart-phone made you very difficult to use at that time.
OF Launcher used newly design with longitudinal slide, one finger will touch things easily. Users can slide to open multiply drawer with customized wallpapers which will get an unprecedented visual experience.
OF Launcher shows your apps at the bottom where you can touch them easily, without icons and widgets cluttered your beautiful desktop. Then, an amazing thing will happen. You can set your own pictures or even stars’ posters as app folders’ wallpapers, which will be shown on your phone screen totally, and these personalized wallpapers will make your phone stylish.
Rather than spending a long time in other old launchers with all your 10 fingers, just swipe and slide to manage your Android with one finger will be a better choice. The quick access app drawer let you get where you need to go comfortably. 10+ desktop gestures allows convenient access to your favorite apps, system settings, switches and all your phone widget with just one hand. You can add more folders and arrange your favorite apps to always be within your reach.
APK is available here:

Two years ago, the company was able to get a seed fundings $70000 as a startup.

- Slide left/right to open drawer, slide again to enter manage page
- Create new folders in manage page, click folder name to delete or hide it from prying eyes
- Sometimes when the folder name keeps bouncing, it means there are more apps in the folder
- Drag icon right/left to open drawer
- Drag icon into Create Folder to create a new folder
- Drag icon up/down then hold and wait, you’ ll be sent there
- Long tap icon-> move -> hold for 0.7 sec to launch floating slider!
- Long tap an application to rename, delete or uninstall it
- Widget: Weather forecast widget, Music widget, shortcut widget, settings and more

It's an awesome concept for a launcher...I know it's in early stage but still I would say it need a lot more refinement.I am running it on a Redmi Note 3 with official MIUI Dev ROM version 6.12.15.
Some suggestions from me
1. Please add icon pack support for the launcher
2. Support for system animations
3. Try not to use in-built music player, make it as a controller for the player that's running.
4. Make the side menu on both sides work by edge swipe. Feels better
5. Option for custom app groups
6. You may provide widgets in the wallpaper area which are related to the current app menu/app group eg. On home group it may show weather and time or something (news feeds maybe) in the same way music shows music control social may show social feed (I guess you get it now )
7. If the above request is done, the menu on the right will be free for your awesome imagination.
8. Provide option for live wallpapers in even though it's in the area where wallpaper is, as KLWP+OF launcher will do wonders.
considering bots? like google asistant
Consider not using Google for only download. Till then I cannot use willingly

It's an awesome concept for a launcher...I know it's in early stage but still I would say it need a lot more refinement.I am running it on a Redmi Note 3 with official MIUI Dev ROM version 6.12.15.
Some suggestions from me
1. Please add icon pack support for the launcher
2. Support for system animations
3. Try not to use in-built music player, make it as a controller for the player that's running.

APK update.
Hi
Here is OF Launcher APK shared on my google drive.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9ysdhkEPKVKU1pPTXNZdmdmSUE
Sony M2 Aqua - EagleXperience (based on 5.1.1) with locked bootloader & xposed
So far I LOVE this! It's perfect in terms of being customizable but not overwhelming. (I often waste lot of time planning out a homescreen only to tell myself I'll get to finishing it eventually.)
I pretty much agree with the above comment (icon packs would be cool; more widgets, though I like the way they look on the hidden side menu, etc.)
1. I like the wallpaper that shows up when the launcher first starts up, the black/orange space one, but can't find it in the folder wallpaper picker. Can you make that one available?
2. Other than the home folder, the app drawer isn't functional. I tap on any app and it says "unknown" (screenshot won't attach). They do open from the home folder, though. (Also can you make the "trending" and pandora box fully hideable?)
3. It takes a while for newly-downloaded apps to show up in the launcher.
4. Allow non-google engines in the search widget. Connect the music widget to the media player app.
5. It seems to use a lot of space, especially for how simple it is, but I haven't scrutinized every other launcher to compare, so maybe it's normal.
I'm not on Facebook, so I can't join the group. But I'm happy to continue giving feedback/usage statistics to help you out.

4.I will.

A last beta version, official version will be released this month
Hi all,
Here is a last beta APK you can download
http://www.oflauncher.com/oflauncher.apk
What we need you help to test this time before official version launch:
1. Is there any other problems when you are updating?
2.Will it make your phone crash or slow?
Let me know the problems’ details, so that I can check it and improve OF Launcher in the next 10 work days. I will focus on solving this kind of problems. Thank you in advance.
no longer can find app in google play. Am I missing the updates? Also is it possible to maybe group apps in a small folder that could be placed on picture area on top of each app folder. An if so can it be an optional to show same said mini folders on top of all main folder pic rather than have to make same mini folder for on pic on each main folder.Also maybe instead of making it compatible with icon packs. You could just make an option to change Icon picture to a personal gallery pic you can resize.Love your launcher. Willing to pay up to 20$ just to keep add free. Also not sure if it's been mentioned. But on samsung s7 edge you can't put same app in different folders.Automatically removes from previous folder once added to a new one.I think you may of fixed this but also notice when switching from hd,to fhd,or wqhd apps start disappearing.Once said resolution switched and kept on for a day said appsdo eventually return.Thank you again for hard work. Sould be top ten launcher 2017.
Good job!

Hey, I've update a new version. Please have a try and give me some feedback.
Launcher settings backup ?
Would you be able to add backup option for launcher settings. Whenever the app crashes, i ll have to redo all the settings. Instead it would be easier to restore from backup
Thanks

Sounds a good idea.
I will try
@lepb Hey! your work have been feature here! Nice job!

Just installed. I must say it's a very fluid launcher. Keeping a clean home screen with the draws sliding out is real nice. Great job! Looking forward to the future updates.
