We have just finished the first release of Go Launcher.
Uploaded onto Google Market. It seems most of users like it.
We are very glad to hear your opinion. Please help us to make it better. Thanks.
Go Launcher is an amazing home replacement app for Android .
-Extremely smooth scrolling
-Convenient icon pop-menu
-Gesture supported
-Useful app drawer to uninstall apps and kill tasks
-Removable screen previews (Up to 30 screens)
Guys~ Let me explain something most of users may concern about:
1. Q: GO Launcher(GL) restart (redraw) sometimes after quitting from other app?
A: It's android's feature that system automatically kill some processes whenever available memory is low. When you see redraw/restart, it means GL has been removed from memory due to the app you just run which might be consuming too much resource (such as games...).. That's the same reason that GL becomes little bit laggy when system's used memory reachs about 250M. In the next two release, we will consider provide a 'keep-in-memory' option to user (like LP already did). That way, android won't kill GL even in case of low memory and you will get better feel of 'speed'.
2. What are the new features of next release? (tomorrow...)
Q:
A. Support scrollable widget and widget resizing!
B. Icons won't be missing and stay the same spot after upgrading.
C. Much faster switching between tabs in function chart.
D. Fix some crash issues for Droid phones
E. Support folder in app drawer.
F. (available two releases later) Theme save and restore.
Also, recommend 'GO SMS' and 'GO Weather' developed by other folks in Dev team. .New Arrivals.
If you like Go Launcher, recommend it to your friends .
We will keep working and make the best launcher for you !
Please check updates from Google Market.
Any feedback please email to [email protected] in case I might be missing questions here in forum. Thanks!

Glad you like it. Choosing dock icon (even app icon) from gallery will be in next release. Actually, it will not be just use gallery pic. It's beyond that. :--)
Great work! Looks very promising. Thank you so much.
Can you add the option to turn off vibrations when adding icons, removing home screens etc.

Waaaaay MIUI... Liking it though

I like you app drawer (or function chart as you call it). But it would be nice if there is a possibility to have less apps on one site (for example only 6 on second page). This isn't possible now, because when you move an app to another page one from the next page comes to the page you moved an app away.
Is there any way to make scrollable widgets work ?
Screen Shot?
Yeah i like this launcher, MIUI Style I love it.
Ok, i'm a big fan of LauncherPro, but I must say that GO Launcher really has a lot of potential. IT IS AWESOME and very refreshing.
Anyway, I think it would be even more awesome with some adjustment
some of the settings are quite... confusing i think. I expected "turn on screen rotation" to turn the screen orientation but instead it is actually the drawer's mode... which is weird.
also, I can has bigger homescreen icon? :< or something like same size icons of MIUI roms.
Resizing widgets would make this launcher awesome.

BTW i think it still need polishing... FC on me.
but as I said, i would love to see this launcher improving.
Missing animation between homescreen and preview.
Got a FC when i start Go Launcher from the drawer.
Drag and Drop to Dock, native folder support and multilanguage would be nice
Very promising launcher! Keep it up devs!
Just my 2 cents, would it be good if the function chart (or app drawer) can be made into a loop (similar like the dock)? So after the last page we'll return to the first one (without having to flip back several times).
Another minor issue on my HTC Legend (mdpi) the font size on "Add to desktop" looks way too big imho. Maybe you can consider to polish the text as well (e.g. Shortcut instead of ShortCut, Homescreen settings (I think more appropriate as compared to setting)).
Just my 2 cents
Looks real cool. The only thing that keeps me with launcherpro is widget resizing.
Another essential thing that I miss is an option to use images as custom icons for docked apps.
Also I'd highly recommend speeding up the "function chart" scrolling speed.
One more thing that comes to my mind is that item from a homescreen is deleted only when dragged over trash icon. Would be way more convenient if the action was performed when dragged over dock (not only trash icon). That's "cosmetics" tho ;]
Apart from that, incredible work. Love the MIUI style.
Keep up the good work!
Can someone post some screenshots?

I agree with everyone... VERY promising... i would love to see folder support in the app drawer as well as hiding apps (or hiding folder) I'll keep my eye on it for sure.. cant quite take over launcher pro plus yet

keeps getting better, thanks!
One thing I mentioned in email I wanted to bring up here for others feedback is that if I choose to not have the screen indicator at the top of the screen, and I hide the status bar, the few pixels reserved for the screen identifier should be given back/not used anymore.
I wont keep repeating how great work you guys deliver
1 point of improvement:
On my X10 it's impossible to resize the widgets...
Sorry, it works, this plonker forgot to enable it in settings
Cheers,

I really like this launcher guys,great stuff. ill be honest, im still sticking with launcherpro FOR NOW, but im closely watching this app because its got great potential.
just a little suggestion: adding option to configure the press-icon highlight color...a lot of people are anal about their phone's appearance and the current yellow color can really counter-act with some peoples theme
just one mans opinion......keep up the great work!
I love your apps and this launcher is awsome.
Now i need a loooot of custom icons <----- any idea?
Add alphabet sorting in the app drawer folders
I really really like your apps
Actually I'm using all of them
Keep it up
BTW u got the best GUIs I've ever seen on an android apps

Finally someone has done it!
Congratulation on this excellent home replacement. You are the first and only person to create in my opinion a better Home replacement than the default Galaxy S one. Doesn't need much improvement, maybe spring load the first and last app draw screens.
Very nice, and my thanks.
Add ability to choose custom docks and more homescreen rows x columns and im switching from lp.

Nice launcher, really smooth. I've set the app drawer scrolling to portrait and I would really like the possibility to swype between all, recent and running apps.
Just a suggestion i'm already really appreciating your work!
Nice launcher and getting better constantly. However, I have had a problem of misplaced text label for the drawer taps for all the versions so far (see attached image). I have lcddensity=220 on Froyo, and have not tried on the standard 240.
It's a bit laggy for me at the moment and all widgets are gone after every reboot...
Too bad, because I love this launcher.

The drawer's animation ruins all it's smoothness. Can you create an option to switch the drawers animation off ? Or change it with something smoother.
I really like this launcher, it's pretty clever.
I must say I do love this launcher, however after running it a couple of days it's showing up as a large battery consumer on my Droid Pro. (And unfortunanlty I can't afford to lose anymore battery on this device). LauncherPro normally runs 3-5% of my battery, and your launcher is pulling 10-12%.
Again, I'm a big fan, and definitely think this has potential, but until you guys can shave off some battery usage, I'm going to have to go back to LPro.

I am in doubt going back to lpp too for the same reason. After setting go launcher as my defàult launcher, i lose around 8 till 10% an hour, which is way too much...

yeah it looks good
I'm having problems with my widgets not visually updating correctly on Galaxy Spica 2.2 (CM 6.1.1 alpha 8.2)
You can see an example here (look at the date of the calendar widget)
I have this on all my widgets, including the power widget
This thing is nice and smooth. Best launcher I have used so far. Looks to be built off go launcher with a tw4 feel and style. No I'm not a Dev of this. Just found it thanks to appbrain. Here's the market link.

It's decent, needs more options. Definitely isn't up to ADW EXs standards for sure.
Very nice. It has a couple of quirks, but I think I'll be giving up Zeam and moving to QQ. Thanks for the heads up.
Ok. So after a day of playing. Here's what I have found.
Pros
Speedy
no homescreen redraw
Fast app draw
Folders in drawer and desktop
Smooth transitions
Just like go launcher.
Cons
App draw looses my apps.....often. this requires me to clear the default and switch back to NY default launcher 2.
While that is the only con I have..... it was enough to make me leave it till is gets fixed.

Go launcher is way smoother, faster, and more helpful. I didn't like alternate launchers until I tried Go launcher.
Installed this tonight, had problems with widgets showing. Apps are missing (Facebook doesn't show up in the app drawer, in the applications list nor as a widget.)
Would love to see some more options and customization in the future. But I love the look and the speed of it right now.
For some of you that don't know this launcher, you should try it !
It works very well on our P920.
I find it better reactive than go launcher.....

I totally agree as I am using it even as it came on Chinese!Fastest and lowest memory usage launcher with smooth animation and fast response.
Definitely recommend everyone to give it a try!
I'm normally using GoLauncher EX but i'll try this one for a few days from now on.
The first impression:
the scrolling is REALLY very smooth / it is even smoother than in GoLauncher EX with exact the same apps on the homescreens
i like the way the folders are managed -> like in iOS and with vertical scrolling (screenshot attached)
there are only few options to customize the homescreen, eg apps are not renameable and widgets can't be resized like in GoLauncher EX
maybe it is a wrong feeling but it seems to me that the apps open faster

Nice! but I 'll continue with Go Launcher as mine is customized
So I've got a weird problem that I've never encountered before...
The home screen transition animations on Apex Launcher get very laggy and choppy after I scroll through 4+ pages in the app drawer. Everything else on the phone runs fine and smooth, it's just when I swipe between home screens that it's laggy. I know it's not a memory issue because I killed everything with task manager, and the issue presented itself with 300+ mb of memory free.
So here's the sequence of events:
-Start launcher fresh.
-Do literally anything on the phone, and it stays liquid smooth. Run apps, multitask, whatever.
- open app drawer and swipe through 3 pages and go back to home. Still super smooth.
-open app drawer and scroll through one more page. Go back home.
-laaaaaggg
Any ideas? I've uninstalled and reinstalled apex launcher to no avail. I really don't want to have to do a factory reset...

Same here. Change transition effects of honescreen settings from card stack to none and all is good lag is gone.
Just found a temporary work-around: select app drawer style as vertical continuous. No homescreen lag.
I'm still curious as to how many other people experience this, and why it's happening.
