[APP][2.2+] ssLauncher - Android Apps and Games

I found this launcher and seems very nice with a different style and a lot of customization options:
http://market.android.com/details?i...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcy5sYXVuY2hlciJd
give it a try.
News from the developer (04/02/2012):, geek21c
Code:
i'm preparing paid version, which will include a few features in the following list.
1. rich formatted text for shortcut. (currently date only)
- notifications for missed calls & sms as a formated text like date.
- system variables: status of battery, memory, storage etc.
2. enable to set background image to each page. (this will be saved as page settings not theme or preferences.)
3. copy and paste shortcuts.
4. enable to rotate shortcuts. (it will take a long time to implement.)
5. grid type of application group page.
6. more styles of item in each built-in pages, app drawer, app group, contacts and bookmarks.
7. support folder in app drawer.
8. top secret feature.
Of course, it will be ad free. Some of features added to paid version will be applied to the free version with approximately monthly intervals.
Thank you.

Looks gud......I will give it a try...

I found it on the market too and installed a while ago. One of the things i miss are folders, i have too many apps to have them on one page.

Really love this launcher. Its really lightweight, yet it still looks amazing.

The good thing about this launcher is that it is VERY flexible in terms of layout. You can even use something like AltDrawer and get rid of the applications page altogether. Also, each page scrolls vertically as well, so you can have a full WP7 style homescreen. No need for Desktop Visualiser. Oh and I love the contacts page!
The only downside to it is that it lags a little/jerky movement on my Note. I used it for a full week.

One thing it is missing is the use of scrollable widgets....
Also, when I set the page I want to be the default page and go to another page, hitting the home button does not change the page back...Has anyone had any luck with that?

This is the one I've been waiting for. Simple yet highly flexible in positioning widgets and internal components. No need for text widgets, alternative drawer.
I am excited to know what kind of Monster this thing will be, soon!
I think this launcher will kill Mr GO any time soon.

Still a long way to go... no folders or tabs in the app page... no unread messages or mail or missed calls indications... no support for scrollable widgets etc

Try ccLauncher ics version.
HTC Sense 3.5, Android 2.3.5

This launcher keeps "separate" versions for portrait and landscape widgets dispositions.
MASTERPIECE.
Every launcher should offer this !

This is an amazing launcher. Wish I could hide the status bar but none the less it is unique and fresh! Two thumbs up.

very cool
different from other launcher
but need more customization

Have you guys tried to add or edit a page after adding everything to your pages. I get forcecloses and cannot edit any pages after a little bit. Don't see any way around this unless I totally clear all my data and then it works initially but will close again once I start adding things, it will not let me add/delete/edit a page...

Love this launcher! Please consider an add free version (hopefully the author looks here). I'll be glad to pay a few dollars to support it. I had one experience of losing everything on my Cover page while making modifications, but it only happened once. Nice work.

Great launcher! Not like any of the normal ones. Perfect for a 7" tablet.

Any screenshots of the app drawer?

is there a way to use it on SGY??

I've just discovered this nice piece of software a few days ago.
Best launcher I ever had. So great to customize and fast.
I only find the transitions between pages a little bit choppy, would love to see a nice blend in/blend out effect.
And maybe the possibility to use more system variables as shortcut text, besides the date and time. I'm thinking battery, memory, CPU.
Using it on an Optimus 3D with CM7 nightly, runs great.

Which home screen replacement are you using?

Probably not the first thread on the subject but nevertheless: Which home screen replacement are you using and what do you like about it?
I developed a home screen replacement called "Simple Home" and it is all about simplicity. Feel free to try it out (search for "Simple Home" on Android market). I'm interested to hear what features people really want to have in their launcher!?
I use launcher pro. my favorite feature is having the scrollable dockbar.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
At least you were somewhat up front about spam, if misleading in the title.
I am genuinely interested due to fact that I've developed an app in a certain way, not out of any commercial reasons! If it was an unsolicited post then I would a) not answer you b) not ask questions or c) not promote a free app. My post is meant as a basis for a discussions. Yours on the other hand is not!
regarding the scrollable dockbar in launcher pro: hmm yes, it is very nice feature to have some kind of menu bar with pinned apps. Strange though that it disappears when you go to the app drawer. On the other hand there needs to be some kind of icon for the return button some how.
something to try could be developing a way to organize the app drawer using sections, folders, etc. if I knew anything about app creation that's what I would be working on haha.
Sent from my Droid
You can enable/disable the return home button in preferences. I particularly like the extended froyo theme dock for pinned apps. Keeps my desktop clean. I don't care for multiple dock rows as I just use 4 icons, but I like the options. I recently paid for the paid program of launcher pro.
The best part is you can make it simple or complex in options. Theme support is also nice... and its speed is wonderful.
I think launched pro has it figured out. If you are building a launcher perhaps try to think out side the box instead of trying to compete with such an already complete launcher.

Funny thing you mentioned it, because this is exactly what I've done for my app and of course using frecency sorting (frequency + recency). This is exactly what I want to have for my app drawer plus filtering to narrow down the list (which is also in there).

I am, I think the ones that are out there really do the Android style launchers to perfection. My approach is simplicity and speed. I personally don't believe in arrangeable desktops. It works fine when you have a few apps but when you have a fair amount installed it becomes tedious to do rearrangements..
ADW. But I like eye candy. If your going for simple you could have a niche to yourself.
One feature I'd like, played with a few programs last night as was not happy with any, is a task SWITCHER.
Double tap home and bring up a nice screen, if it can use a wall then even better.
No killing just switching.
Yes, I agree! Ubuntu- or mac-style task switcher would be truly great. I don't think that exposé will work as good on a mobile phone as on a PC
My approach was to add an indicator on top of app icons in my app drawer for apps that are running (according to the ActivityManager) together with the ability to sort the list on running apps. I find that simple and very useful..
I tried ADW, Helix, LauncherPro, Simple Home, and PandaHome. I like Panda's side docks & app hiding, and ADW's hidden dockbar & screen swipes to launch apps (though it still FCs on my Droid 2.1R) . I'd prefer something simple. I don't need more than 3 screens and usually go to 2. I don't need a task switcher because long-pressing Home shows my last six apps. I don't need flash, I just want it to work. ADW works for me now because I have four quick action buttons (so it replaced Helix) and six more in the dockbar, though I can scroll for more. Just my .02
I have used Stock sense, ADW, and LuncherPro in the last 3 days and I like LuncherPro by far the best. I like having the 4 icons on the bottom to clear icon clutter on the screen and the menu system is nice.

Thanks to you, my Launcherpro has been collecting some serious dust.........thank you x10 for the best launcher available!!!
Thanks for the update. This is by far my favorite launcher.one suggestion, is there any way to get the cube and book transition in next release. Keep up the good work.

Maybe I'll try out ADW Launcher EX now that ADWNotifier is free. I saw no reason paying for a "feature", which is standard with Launcher Pro.

Can EX import settings from the free launcher yet?
Hey, I installed ADWLauncherEX form market. Now, I'm running into some problems:
The Launcher won't save any settings, I set. In fact, every time I exit the settings dialog, the changelog pops up again. Anyone know, what to do about that?

no worries man..i found one aswell,but most of the people with the same problem wrote they found two..
Nevertheless it works like a charm so..
Launcher works great for me so gar on a Galaxy S. However, I noticed one annoying thing: Loading the shortcut list for applications takes an eternity (I have 300+ apps installed). The same thing goes for the dialog in ADWNotfier, where you can select the SMS oder Mail-App. This definitely needs some code improvement.
Hey, I downloaded the app yesterday and it still wont download to my phone I have the captivate and it just runs a bar saying authorizing i left it overnight and it still has that running so i canceled and redid it, still nothing it wont physically install whats wrong?
I love the speed of ADW EX.
Only significant complaint so far is that there's no direct access to System Preferences from the launcher menu. Shouldn't have to go into sub-menus to access the system prefs.
Question: Is there a way to get SMS/Gmail/Voicemail notifications in the dock?
Both LauncherPro+ and Go Launcher will attach such counts to the relevant icons, but I don't see this in ADWLauncher EX. In ADW Settings > General Preferences > System Preferences there's options for "Show notifications" and "Bubble font size", but I have no idea how these apply. I sent myself a SMS, and though my Notification bar was showing one message, there wasn't anything visible in the Launcher itself.
-edit-
OK. Got it working. Didn't realize I need to download ADW Notifier as well.
Would be nice if the notifiers were smart and only wiped the numbers after you actually read the email (for example) rather than as soon as you open Gmail though. That's how Go Launcher seems to work.
So far I'm liking this. I am having a problem, and I don't know if it's a feature or a bug. Every time I swipe down on any part of the screen the notification bar will come down. I switched back to Launcher Pro and it did not do this. Also when switching to the hidden dock it drags the icon form the normal dock. I would also like to see a way to change the dock backgrounds like on Launcher pro. And I'm with saltorio, It would be nice if there was a system prefs from the main menu. But I could get used to it where it is now. Keep up the good job.

So is ADW ever going to get some widgets similar to LPP? Would live to give ADW a serious consideration but having to pay for other apps just to make up for ADWs shortcomings doesn't make sense.

One feature I would love to see that is in many other launchers is the ability to "resize" widges on the pages.

you can resize widgets on launcher pro...it just a paid feature, not free on this launcher
@ Jager
I know what he means! With other launchers like the paid LauncherPro
you can overlap widgets, fit them, arrange the grid etc, with QQLauncher
that aint possible or very limited. Besides QQLauncher is laggy as hell on
a very fast phone .
yea, but once we give it time, it willd definitely be a great launcher contender. good find. i'll keep my eye on this one.
I sure love it, especially with Vipitus his modifications, but I'm back
on LP. Will give it a try soon.

This launcher is awesome on my D3, super quick to redraw the home page after closing an app or camera and love the alphabetically sorted app drawer. Give this guys some time and it will be a hit. It does need a few featured like widget resizing and editing of icons, also a custom grid size. Will keep for a while to see how it develops
when I click the contact or phone app on the dock it opens the default samsung phone or contact instead of giving the option of the all the phone apps (go dialer,touchpal dialer etc). any plans to add this?
Does anyone know how to replace the dock and app drawer icon? I don't want an entire theme to change it :S
wow this has the best lockscreen I've ever seen
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I've been using Launcher Pro for quite a long time now on my Epic 4G but I've never liked that it seems slow to initialize and at times is just laggy for unknown reasons. So, I switched to QQLauncher Pro 1.4.3 (Build 234). I miss some of the LP icons but overall love how QQLauncher Pro's design is for the setup of each screen, the ability to organize apps into folders, and at least in my case with Android 2.3.4 EH06 installed on my phone, there doesn't seem to be any lagginess to concern me.
However, I have found some quirky bug in that not all icons are rebuilt after a reboot of my phone. Similarly, with all my apps organized into multiple folders, the same 7 apps are found outside their intended folders after a reboot. The only solution is to apply a restore of the launcher settings, although it only corrects the home screens and not the app drawer. For each instance of this corruption, it is always the same apps affected, which is also puzzling since there's nothing they share in common to my knowledge. Most, and perhaps all of them are saved to the memory card to conserve system memory, but there are other apps similarly saved to the memory card that aren't affected, so that does not seem to be the source of the bug.
At this point, I'm not sure if I'll return to Launcher Pro...I have to decide which I think to be the lesser of two evils. QQLauncher really wins a lot of points though for just allowing multiple item selection when building a screen up.
Best launcher so far ...all it needs is an option to switch home screen landscape and more themes
I'd like to push/hold an app from the list-drawer and put it on the desktop, doesn't seem to work atm.
And the lock screen seems to redirect me to the GO SMS Pro app both when using the SMS-unlock and Home-unlock. Anyway to fix this? I'd really like to use the lock screen!
I'm using the latest 2.3 version. Is there any way to disable the task manager/app cleaner(which seems to run automatically)?

QQ launcher .

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tencent.qqlauncher&feature=search_result
Has anyone tried this launcher in the market. looks similar to adw just installed it havent played around with it yet. everything looks ok.
I don't know about that launcher specifically but QQ Chat is a (popular) chinese chat app. We could hack it in to our old motorola flip phones back in the day.
Perhaps this is the same chinese company with another knockoff. I'd say it if looks and feels like ADW, why not just use ADW? Go Launcher seems nice too.
[UPDATE]
Looks neat. While supposedly it isn't as customizable as the popular ones, it does offer some neat features. The Contact list Apps Menu looks appealing and some of the other features. Try it out and give us a review!
I don't know about anybody else but I'm currently using the Regina 3D Launcher and live it. Plus you can add extra home screens.

Initial review
Been playing with this for a most of the day now. Here is what I like about it.
Interesting screen transitions, I like the different swipe animations, Fade in is a nice touch, and I really like Cascade. Card is a fun variation of windmill, but with alot of icons, gets sore on the eyes. And Cube is a nice one as well, although it does get a bit laggy. Other than Cubem, they all work pretty good, even with a heavy live wallpaper working in the background.
The app drawer list setting is a huge plus on this. Something that is lacking in GoLauncher (my usual primary) and Launcher pro. It really makes finding your apps easy, and when you have alot, like I do, its great.
Clone Launcher - This is a nice feature, as it pulls whatever you have placed as screens on Launcher Pro into this launcher. It didn't give me the choice to pull GoLauncher, so it might only work with Launcher pro, not sure.
Its a pretty stable, fast and non-laggy UI. I like using it, however, the following items really are why I keep going back to GoLauncher.
Themes - pretty limited in what you can do. You can change wallpapers BUT only what is offered by the theme. You cannot choose from previous wallpapers, and you cant choose any live wallpapers. You have to get into a different launcher and set those up, then return to QQ. Same with Icons, you cant use anything but what is offered by the theme.
With that said about Icons, they are biggger than most launcher, which is a nice bonus.
Dock - your limited to the 5, with the app drawer static. It isn't easy to change them, you have to remove them, and then add, you can't add directly from the current icon. There is no second or third dock drawer, so you can only put your favorite four down there.
Regarding the QQ widgets, you get Task killer and quick switch. Quick switch works fine, but your limited to WiFi, screen brightness, sound settings and GPRS listed in the widget. You can access GPS, flight mode, etc through selecting the widget.
Task killer I am unsure of. When using it with ZDBox, I get different numbers.When I kill idle tasks using QQ, I end with 339M in use. But when I do the same using ZD, I get 233.6M in use. So not sure why the difference.
For my opinion, I like its stability and different screen transitions as well as the app list, and will keep an eye on this. However, by adding more screen customization (wallpapers, icons, live wallpapers) and more dock choices, this could become a really great launcher.
I will check Regina now, see how that works.
A few other things
Alright, forget Regina, couldn't make it work, too buggy.
BUT I do have some more input regarding QQ.
The lock screen rocks! I love the animations it gives while charging, and its a very responsive lock. Best thing is once you activate it and go with a different launcher, it still works!
I do wish we could change the shortcuts. And whenever I choose the down swipe (Home icon), I go to my SMS app, even when it QQ. So there is a bad connection or something along those lines there. Its still something I can live with, and plan to continue using the lock screen!
Lol I don't know why but I like this launcher. How is the lockscreen for everyone. Is it responsive?

the launcher honestly was very nice, but too little features for my liking unfortunately.
not enough features, but im keepin the app installed cuz i love that lockscreen!
One last update
So played some more with it and used it for the weekend. here are my last points on it.
Folders - You are limited to 12 apps only. No more. So if you got alot that needs to go in a folder (like I do), you will end up with more folders, more confusion, and more 'which folder has what app' issues. But whats cool is that you can find the classification name by checking the box icon on the right. Nice touch guys!
Lock screen - Again, I can't say enough about this. but now am going to say a little bit more. of all the free lock options out there, this is the only one I have found where the volume keys work when the screen is locked and off. HOWEVER, when you use that volume, the screen will come on (thats ok), but then never turn back off (NOT OK!)
I found out while riding the bus home. Left the office and turned up the music player while phone was still in the case. Didn't look at it until I got off the bus and put it in my car dock. Noticed it was on. thought I did that taking it out of the case, but then I noticed the battery was drained alot more than its supposed to for the ride home.
so did a check, unplugged and player going, with the screen off I turned volume up, screen came on, then never turned off (I gave up waiting after 5 minutes).
My stock lock screen is set to turn the screen off after 10 seconds, and all the other lock screens work with that time, so this really needs to get corrected.
Still hoping for updates to both the lock and the launcher! Don't give up developers!
I use it with my Galaxy S2 & love it. I have the iphone theme for obvious reasons

Same here!!!!!
I like the lock screen. It sticks around after switching back to ADW EX. Keeping it installed to wait for updates.
It's a decent launcher, I normally use ADW Launcher EX though. Ya it does need some more customization and its got a good lock screen.
But I recently tried Go Launcher EX again(stopped using awhile back due to random fc's , updated version seemed to fix it) and their lock screen app Go Locker, is great! They've got the ICS lock screen theme, Sense, an iPhone clone, and a cool Santa Claus themed lock screen just to name a few. It's worth a look for sure
If somebody could take this launcher, add customize-able dock bars, allow themes from Roms (like MIUI or CM) to work properly, and add more customization to the lockscreen (like change applications, torch, etc) I would pay for it in a heartbeat.
I love this launcher but it still lacks features other launchers have, like I can't leave go launcher for this one YET
HOTLANTA, even though its cold ;-)
Their is also an Asian company that produces a launcher named cclauncher. Its supposed to be a 3d type launcher.
Cclauncher ics has some really good ics animations including the app drawer ics animations, almost identical.

[APPS][NO ROOT] SmartisanOS Launcher, Clock, Calculator, and Notes!

Hey everyone, I'm back again with more ported apps.
This time it's from the all new Chinese ROM 'SmartisanOS' for the Galaxy S3. If you have a Galaxy S3, I'd recommend checking out the ROM itself rather than using these apps, as you'll get a better experience that way.
If you haven't heard of SmartisanOS, firstly you should know it's not an entirely new OS, it's more like a UI skin like Sense and Touchwiz. It's based off Android, but isn't a fork of it like AliyunOS or anything.The creators very heavily focused on user experience, in attempts to make the UI very attractive and easy to use. The UI is very, very skeuomorphic. All applications tested ran buttery smooth.
Note that this ROM is in pre-alpha (it was only just officially released to the public on the 15th) so it's got a few bugs, even on the phone it officially supports, the Galaxy S3. Additionally, not all applications have full English support, so certain parts of them will be in Chinese.
As always, if you'd like anything from the ROM to be uploaded, just ask and I'll see what I can do.
Here's a video review (in English) of SmartisanOS by Cursed4Eva TV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aRUZwJXlHA
Smartisan Launcher:
The launcher is very, very similar in concept to the iOS homescreen. It's just a grid of apps that you can move around, and essentially you're limited to just that. There's not hardly any customization here, but then again that can be a good thing if you think about it. Unfortunately, lack of customization takes a pretty big hit - for example, you can't change the wallpaper. For some very odd reason, this launcher requires a loading screen whenever it boots up, similar to other 3D launchers like Next Launcher and TSF Shell (but this launcher isn't 3D).
Features -
- Up to four icons on the dock
- Custom transition effects for opening apps and general inteface
- Batch app movement support
- Unlimited homescreens
- Hide homescreen support
- Lock homescreen support (crashes for me, however)

Clock
This is a truly gorgeous clock app. Note that this, along with the other apps, don't give widgets. This clock is filled to the brim with fancy animations, sound effects, and special features, like a world clock, alarm, stopwatch, and timer.
Features -
- World clocks (system time set as default; you can add more but the clocks are only available in Chinese)
- Alarm clock
- Stopwatch (with lap support)
- Timer (up to 60 minutes)
- Fancy animations for all sections of the app. For example, whenever you switch tabs the clocks will reanimate into position.
- Fancy sound effects for most sections of the app. For example, turning on the timer will make a ticking sound. The ticking sound stops when you leave the application, though (and the timer still continues), so it won't be annoying or anything.
- Gorgeous UI

Notes
This is a pretty basic Notes app but just like all the other SmartisanOS apps is really nice looking, but unfortunately (for me, anyway, this might not happen on your phone) the app didn't fit the screen. This app also has integrated sharing support.
Features -
- Swipe to delete support
- Search support
- Sharing support via SMS, email, text, and Sina Weibo
- Gorgeous UI

Calculator
This is a very simple calculator without support, unfortunately, for more advanced calculations like the stock Android calculator. It's based off old basic calculators, and even has that click-and-clack sound to boot whenever you tap the buttons!
Features -
- Sound effects whenever you click the buttons for a more realistic effect
- Gorgeous UI

Nice one ))
Launcher wouldn't open on my Note2. Clocked worked well though. It is a great looking click with just enough animation. Unfortunately the snooze/dismiss screen is too simple for me. Both buttons right next each other. Could easily attempt to snooze and hit dismiss instead. Wish it was a gesture like sliding to dismiss. Oh well. Still pretty cool. Thanks, man

The launcher opened on my HTC one but the dock icons wouldn't open when touched. Also the regular apps didn't always open. Some would open when touched at specific parts. Bit erratic for now on my one.

You could try pushing the launcher to system/app.

Yes, I had this problem with the little gear icon when in the zoomed-out view with all the icons. I had to click the gear just under where it was located. I presume this is either because:
1. The ROM itself is still in pre-alpha so the problem is for any phone, not just ones it wasn't intended for (meaning, then, that the Galaxy S3 has the same problem)
2. Wrong resolution and screen size is confusing the app.
Either way there isn't a easy fix to it, for now anyway.

No, sorry, I'm not a developer. It may be because you're not running the latest version of Android, as SmartisanOS is based on 4.2.

THX, it's beautiful
I have a question. I want to use the smartisan os rom on my s3 but there is a problem. I can't call or use the mobile Internet because there's no network connection. You know what's the problem?

You should ask that on the Smartisan OS forums or if there's a thread for Smartisan OS for your device you could ask it there maybe. This thread isn't for help with bugs in the ROM, sorry.
Ok thanks man

Why don't you download from the Smartisan web site: http://www.smartisan.com/apps/launcher ? The launcher works perfectly under Slim7 on bacon, for example.
