I gave go launcher another shot since the released a newer version that isn't a beta. been using all day and its NICE! I only have noticed 2 bugs, which is a slight freeze in screen transition that only happens randomly and not a bother. the other is that it seems to default to the first page sometimes, although the 3rd is my home page. overall, excellent job by the Go Dev team... really like what they've done so far and look forward to updates.
one suggestion if you have an older version already installed, try uninstalling, then do a fresh installation of the updated version. that gave me the best results, rather than installing on top of the previous version.
Needs some more work. Would like it if you could hide the dock bar completely or make the dock bar rotate when in landscape.

It still isn't really tablet optimized. The "zoom to fill screen" & "stretch to fill screen" toggle is still there. That has to go. I can deal with that in an app, but not in my home launcher.

Huh? You can do both. (assuming you refering to GoLaunchers dock) I have it as my downwardgesture to hide/show dock.

i didn't notice the stretch to zoom until I read your post, so I guess it doesn't bother me. as for the dock, it can be hidden easily as already stated.
Tech support from GO launcher developer is nonexistent. I have contacted them 3 times since December 20th and nothing. their launcher is not bad, but I do not like the home button in the app drawer, and so far I have been unable to find a way to turn the damn thing off.
If I can't get this resolved here pretty soon I will be uninstalling and finding another launcher and uninstalling the GO launcher
Why does this 'home' button bother you? Theme it to a black bar and hide it...?

I just meant that it would be nice to be able to disable the dock all together. No need for gestures at all.
waste of space in the app drawer

Just changing the theme color to "hide" the button itself doesn't stop the "soft" button's operation, for me it is a useless waste of space in the app drawer and limits the scaling of the app count layout on the screen, I am lazy and the fewer swipes to scroll through the full app drawer the better. I have used other launchers and they have the capability to switch the app drawer home "soft" button on or off so I do not see why this is a problem to implement in one of their updates.
The worst problem is NO response from their tech support after multiple contacts; not even a HI, confirmation of receipt, we will look into it, or F U, nothing... and on principal -- I do not put up with piss poor customer support for anything, there are too many other option available.
I cannot get the Dock to rotate into landscape. Running current version , 2.75!

How do you rotate it? You are right, gestures can hide it.
I agree the 'Home Button' is a nauseated icon. I used to use Vertical sliding but the icon has reverted me back to horizontal loop of which became my preference to organize different screens in the app drawer, so I understand what you mean.
I had some difficulty reaching out to them also. Eventually they responded. I found the only way they respond is thru the Feedback part within the app. I also found that making the words very minimal (?), not so.... Uhhh, technical? Their 'Engrish' is very limited. Once I even used pics with circles and lines to describe something.

Well, there is an option within GoLauncher that allows the setting. Press Menu from home screen, Preferences, Operation Settings. On top is the Screen Orientation. GoLauncher does not override whatever you have set Android to. For instance, mine is set to AutoRotation, but my tablet is locked in VerticalMode so it never moves.
I would also like to point out that in Horizontal mode, you can not put the dock on the side... But I like that idea and I'm probably going to suggest that to the dev team right after I finish this msg...

I just got the ADW.Launcher and it has been the best home replacement app so far.
You have the nexus one like app drawer and shortcut dock, and you can adjust the speed the pages flick, page bounce back (like the iphone) and set the number of pages you want to have.
Fully supports all widgets, and really fast (no lag at all like open home or a home)
the best thing is i've used my x10 for 5 hours straight and its only gone down to 95% battery left.
give it a try!
Am using it. Love the Sense Preview, although it could be less choppy (but they fixed most of that in the latest version). Also like the dock bar, and applications drawer.
it great, however, before on one of main screen I had option to turn wifi, bluetooth, phone and gps on the fly by tapping on it. Now after I installed ADW, it is gone, does anybody know how to get it back or something alternative?

Yeah, it should be a widget. I believe it is called quick settings.
Easily the best homescreen replacements. Tried a few Home++ for example and this one is a keeper... havent tried GDE yet....maybe in a while but for now ill stick with this
where can i get this?

Tapping it starts up the apps.....
ive just tried and mine works fine ?? im running everything the same as you.
1. Could do with a restart maybe?
2. Try removing the battery and see if that helps? Sometimes my screen doesnt respond to long presses.?
Tried that^ Still not working.
There's an option in ADW to lock or unlock the desktop. Sounds like it's locked right now. Locking prevents things like having your dock icons slip out every time you flip up the hidden dockbar but makes it so you can't do any alterations.

Thanks dever. pls add some function like "show status bar on screen off, hide status bar on screen unlock..." and add widget to control status bar show/hide. thanks.
would be awesome if it can be hidden for the lockscreen only on jb :laugh:
Tried this but gives me a reboot after like a minute. Even the pro does. Maybe it conflicts with my settings and all. But great apps. Im using the gesture control, too bad cant use the hide bar thingy...
Good job! Works like a charm on Motorola RAZR xt910 ICS 4.0.4.
Please add 'exit' button when I run app and when bar is hidden there are no way to go to homescreen when I using tablet mode on Lapdock.
+1 to widget control and restore bar when screen off.
Thanks

I'm using the paid version of gesture control, and I love it. One think I'd like: replacing the Launchpad with a "recent tasks" window. Right now my launchpad consists of a single button to the task switcher, but I'm lazy and I'd like to have one action less to get there..

This application is pretty similar to HideBar (http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/), an application that has been in development for over a year. It contains an intuitive user interface to hide/show the systembar.
I find the development of customizing tools like GMD very good. But as a developer you should not use the same name. This only leads to confusion for existing users.

This was not intended and happened just because title is kind of generic. Since there is no perfect solution for ICS yet without modding, it is good that alternatives are appearing so everyone can pick solution that works best for them.

What doesn't work? If it is not showing, you need to drag the widget window to a bigger size. If it is something else, please specify.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
When you are at the lock screen, try swiping down the screen, starting at the clock in the middle. It should slide out the weather. It is by design. At lock, the widget area starts minimized everytime. You can swipe it open, just like swiping open the notification area.
Hope that helps!

I'm loving Chronus, especially on the lockscreen . For the record, to get it on the main lockscreen page, you hold the clock icon on the lockscreen and remove it like the standard homescreen widgets, and then press the add button, and select Chronus.
Chronus has been cherry picked to AOKP. For the life of me I can't figure out how to put the weather widget on my screen (not lock screen), the clock is fine. I've searched high and low, I wonder if it's broken for the rom.

Go into the Chronus settings and enable the weather features there, it will automatically add the weather data below the clock then. Also, make sure you have expanded the widget box to make enough room for the extra info to show!

Same here. Using CM 10.1 on xt912 and the 'stock' trebuchet launcher. Weird the weather won't show data at all, but the calendar event stuff works just fine.
While this question is not directly related to Nexus 5, but since it is one of the few devices running KitKat, I'm posting it here. Its been more than a month since KitKat has launched, but even today the "immersive mode" (which I feel is SO important!) has not been translated to many apps that I use regularly -- Kindle, Pocket, Feedly etc. Its not like these apps haven't updated in the last month or so (they have). Is there any reason why these companies have not considered putting immersive mode as a priority item?
Stability is always the priority. Ask the developers of each app if they plan to support it. We don't know the answer in that, we cannot read minds

There is an Xposed module on these forums somewhere, that enables immersive mode everywhere. It has a few flaws though, as some apps just don't work right with it, or once the navigation bar pops back up, it cuts off the portion of the screen.
However the ones that did work with it, it worker great. It would be nice for someone to make an app or tweak to force selected apps into immersive mode, while allowing the navigation bar to stay where needed.

I still use expanded desktop + PIE controls. I think it works better than immersive mode. I turn it on when gaming.
I used the "Immerse me" xposed module, but it had some issues. Fore example in the AOSP messaging app, when the keyboard popped up, the last message received appeared inbetween the keyboard and where I was typing the message, but only partly. part was behind where I typed teh message. I found that disorientating. Also in tapatalk, which I use a lot - when the keyboard came up, teh top of tapatalk (the tapatalk toolbar) disappeared and I couldn't scroll. Really tricky to use with Pie as I had to keep backing out of the keyboard to do things within tapatalk when typing messages.

Hey man thanks for this! This is pretty much what I've been wanting. Now I can use the full resolution of my nexus 5! Great for streaming my PC games. Woohoo!
Would still be nice to have some sort of way to choose what apps go full screen, cuz it would just be easier to already have the nav bar for apps that are better suited for it, then go away on ones you want full screen for, but this is still a lot better than the immersive module for xposed. Thanks again.
