Sorry, I'm confused.
I thought Go Launcher was replaced by Go Launcher EX, which appears to be version 2.00.
So then what is Go Launcher 1.5 that's in your thread title?
Also, there's a bug in Go Launcher EX that was reported in the other thread and confirmed.
If I'm not on my main (center) homescreen and I hit the home button, I'm taken to a completely blank screen instead of my main screen. If I then hit home again, my main screen slides in. I can also swipe the screen in either directions and the icons come back.

The icons look a bit weird on MDPI devices. Using Classic Theme.

I've just taken a screenshot to explain a little issue. There is a problem with the resized icons. They look worse.

The devs have fixed the problem with the screen being too sensitive to touch (interpreting touches as swipes). Hence, I am a happier chappy. 5 stars. Well done.

There's a bug with the nexus one (CM 6.1.1), In the apps drawer when you hit the home button on the phone (not on the screen) the desktop goes blank, as in the icons and widgets disappear. This only happens on the secondary screens and not the default screen.

They also have the same effect with custom icons in the dock bar (using black UPS icons), they lose image quality like that also

+1 iv'e even mailed him about it before releasing the EX, lets hope that he puts in this feature in 2.1

+1 An option to hide the tabs would be nice
...and +1 about the icons quality issue. The feature of possible changing shortcut's icon is kind of useless if the quality of the image is butchered in the process like this. Still other app like desktop visualizer needs to be used.
Aside from that, good work!

A few things that are a blight on this otherwise awesome launcher are:
1) Widgets oftens don't persist through reboot. Which ones do / don't seems random.
2) Random widgets stack in front of / behind other widgets in random locations following reboot.
3) The app drawer draws very slowly the 1st time (usually after reboot). Scrollling is near impossible until all the apps icons finally show. Takes about 30 secs or more.
Running rooted stock official 2.2 on T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant with EXT4 file system.

This launcher is a good start so far. Couple of bugs I've encountered and some suggestions:
1 - If I have only 1 home screen, the screen will still scroll when I swipe it to the left or right. This also happens to the dock bar if I have only 1 dock bar. I turned scrolling off as well so that doesn't help.
2 - When I change an icon in my dock bar can you have an option to turn resizing off? For example, Launcher Pro leaves the icons in its original size and doesn't make you go to the gallery to resize them. My icons always looks pixellated and never turn out right because of the gallery.
3 - It's missing custom home screen display sizes for up to 10 rows and 10 columns. I especially miss my 5x10 home screen which is the grid I often use in Launcher Pro.

I get the blank home screen bug as well if I hit home, fed up of re-loading the config every 10 minutes so swapped back to the regular Go Launcher until there is an update.
SGS International Stock 2.2.1 unrooted and no lagfix.

I really love this launcher - it's better all the other ones. IMO.
However, is there any way there could be an option to "auto fit widgets" like in Zeam or LP??
It drives me crazy that widgets overlap on the homescreens if placed close together.
Could there also be an option that the rows and columns in the screens could go up to 10?
Thanks in advance!

Presents: VTL.Launcher v.1.6.5
****This release is now under a NEW PACKAGE NAME and no longer SIGNED DEBUG to prep for Market Release. Please uninstall any version pre 1.6.0 first unless your ROM SHIPPED WITH VTL.LAUNCHER INSTALLED Sorry for making you do that but it is necessary and the new features and options make it worth it!****
***NOT YET HONEYCOMB COMPATIBLE*** the recent 3.1 update has added some new challenges.
This Launcher is designed with landscape tablets in mind! (that's not to say it doesn't also function well in portrait mode..... as it does)
First off this launcher is based on ADW.Launcher's Source code so I would like to thank anderweb for all the ground work. Most ADW Themes will work for VTL.Launcher.
Features Include:
- tablet layout optimized (smaller screens will need to play with desktop layout and dock icon size)
- elastic scrolling
- 3 individually configurable/toggleable scrollable dock bars
- individual controls per dock for background/reflection/visibility/icon size
- icon size for docks can be set different per orientation
- user folders to place shortcuts to apps, bookmarks, contacts, etc.
- icon changing for user folders and apps.
- quick action items menu when long pressing apps, folders and widgets.
- catalogs for organizing apps in the app drawers
- swipe actions on app drawer to navigate catalogs
- uncataloged catalog where new and uncatagorized apps fall
- 1 to 7 homes screens with sense-like previews
- configurable action bindings (swipe up, swipe down, home button)
- long hold uninstall from trashcan
- moveable trashcan location
- hide home screen icon labels
- auto rotate orientation
- system persistence with configurable locked orientation
- widget size spanning
- scrollable widget support
- live wallpaper support
- fullscreen mode
- backup/restore settings
- compatible with "most" ADW Themes
This should work on virtually any device. Though non large screen devices may have issues with the layouts so you will have to play with the desktop column, row numbers, dock sizes etc.
Bug fix 1.6.5 Fixes a layout bug on the docks that messed with alignment.
Bug fix 1.6.4 fixes crash issue on some devices from 1.6.3
New in Version 1.6.3:
-Icon number per dock is now dynamic depending on dock width, orientation and icon spacing.
-Added Settings for Icon Spacing per Dock per Orientation.
-Icons on Dock now have a dynamically set Layout Alignment/Gravity per Dock per Orientation.
-Added Settings for Icon Alignment/Gravity per Dock per Orientation.
-Cleaned up A TON of old code.
-Fix issue with not showing in market for a few tablet models.
The Launcher is FREE here for XDA members. It costs 2.99 on the Android Market and with that you will get automatic updates and support further development.
MOD EDIT: REMOVED LINKS
Just wanted to clarify something in case it wasn't clear. Purchasing on the market only gets you "AUTO" updates.... updates will also be posted here for you to download free.... don't worry.... you guys won't miss out on anything if you don't buy it in the market... just wanted to use the market to get it out to more users. And to those that have or will donate.... THANK YOU! It means so much to see the support the community provides to it's developers and I want to keep supporting you as well!

Thanks! Unlike previous Ported Launchers I have posted here I am actually developing from source code on this one so you can expect more active development on this launcher.

Lil bit of a noob but how do I get to the settings for the launcher?

excellent work. im loving it. if i may, is there any chance to have the option of a transparent dock (no fade) and perhaps the option of no reflection in the dock? regardless, this thing is great. it feels a lot faster and smoother than launcher pro.

Those options are definitely doable. After I finish up VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition Beta 1 I will look in to those and more!

Anyone having problems with calkulins? notification pops up half way and cripples everything. I can open the app drawer but thats about it. Any ideas?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

Great work GoJimi. I've been wanting something like this for a while.
I ended up just removing the dock bar from my ADW EX and putting my 'dock' as just standard short-cuts along the bottom. (saw this idea on another thread).
Downside is that my 'dock' is only on one screen, or I have to replicate it across all screens. This launcher solves that problem.
One request. on ADW EX I can set it to 10 x 10 columns. I think 8x8 is the most supported by this launcher? I have mine set to 10 Columns, 8 Rows.
Can this be added to VTL?
Thanks!

I'll look into it for you..... knew it was only a matter of time before people started asking for EX features... ... just so everyone knows EX isn't open source so any of those features that he has there I would have to figure it out from scratch (not that I am incapable, mind you). Just remember that when asking for EX features that it will be more work for me than just copying over some code so it will take time. Also keep in mind I am trying to keep this as lightweight and functional as possible so some feature requests may be put low on the list. This request is not a major undertaking and may actually get added. All of course "after" I finish up VT.GE B1.

Thanks for this, I really like it. One thing though.. the app drawer is really sluggish on your Vegan gingerbread. Anything you can do to smooth it out?

Themes haven't been fully tested yet, but the plan is in place for it to support themes. So Soon.

gojimi, you're a beast...
just cranking out amazing stuff... thanks
i love how i can put the trash can either up or on the bottom since it's just closer to where my hands are. everything is SO customizable... would it be possible for you to add that option to change the placement of the status bar to the bottom as well? i think having the status bar on the bottom would be ideal... again, thanks a lot bro

Zeam, thanks to its minimal aesthetic, not only looks fast but feels fast. It's also incredibly simple to use, and unlike the other launchers it actually works very well out of the box.
My favorite feature in Zeam is configurable gestures -- but not only can you bind swipe actions, like ADW, but you can also bind double tapping the screen and the Home hardware button to actions.

Lightning Launcher
Description and features
Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, Lightning Launcher is on steroïds.
Lightning Launcher: Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, this launcher is on steroïds.
Tips, please read this first:
Use "LLW App Widget" if you want to add Android widgets.
This app is started through the HOME key and not from your app drawer since LL is itself a launcher. If you cannot select it through the HOME key then you need to clear the defaults for your current launcher.
for any question or suggestion, do not hesitate to ask: [email protected]
This application has been designed to minimize memory usage and be fast: the more memory you have for your applications, the faster they will run. In other words Lightning Launcher has been built from the ground to preserve your phone's resources and keep it smooth.
In spite of its ridiculously small size (less than 60kb!), Lightning Launcher is packed with a fair amount of features and brings to Android a very unique concept: the home screen can be seen as a giant surface on which you are free to put icons, shortcuts or widgets exactly where YOU WANT, and not limited to a 4x4 grid. Pinch to zoom in or out the desktop, use the home key to switch between a full scale view or the normal size, or double tap on empty space as in the web browser to immediately see all your icons. And everything stay functional whatever the zoom level is: widgets are alive, icons can be clicked, and so on.
Lightning Launcher drops rarely used features and focuses on useful ones but comes nevertheless with numerous customization options. Icons and widgets can be moved, scaled and even rotated freely. Each object can be configured independently, you can change the font, the label, the icon and much more !
The package is extremely small, only a few kilobytes. What it means is that the Android system do not need to load several megabytes to run this app. Lightning Launcher starts faster and run in perfect harmony with your other apps.
For people kindly asking why the CALL_PHONE permission is needed (notice that this the only one needed by LL!): this is needed for direct call shortcuts, and this permission is included in all major launchers, including Go and Pro.
For other people not asking why and putting stupid one star comments: go away, you have just lost a unique chance to try something new and better, have a good day.

hi ya. thank you for your kind words but i got declined for it.

excellent thread, i didn't even know all these options exist.
did you forget LauncherPro?
as far as a personal reccomendation - on the One S I've used ADW, GoLauncher, Zeam, Apex, Nova, and LauncherPro - and my favorite is GoLauncher. The power of the One S hardware makes GoLauncher's effects and visual style work fluidly and look great. It balances speed and customization VERY well.

I've been a fan of Go Launcher from the begining, on my old Desire. Just loaded to One S and cannot seem to get rid of the ICS 3 dot menu bar at the bottom of the screen.
Really annoying. Is there a option to hide this somewhere?
Thanks in antici.........pation.

Hey, just take a look in the One S development section!
You can get rid of the 3-dot menu by using the mod "tweak machine" which you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683552
Or take a look at the custom roms, if you want to improve the usability of your one S in general...

Nice thing I have to try it

For people kindly asking why the CALL_PHONE permission is needed (notice that this the only one needed by LL!): this is needed for direct call shortcuts, and this permission is included in all major launchers, including Go and Pro.
For other people not asking why and putting stupid one star comments: go away, you have just lost a unique chance to try something new and better, have a good day.

FTL LAUNCHER PRO
Description and features
Make no mistake, this is the fastest launcher you'll ever run. Small, light, configurable. The Gingerbread launcher as it should have been. No useless stuff, no compromises. Performance and usability are the driving forces here.
On version 3.0 Pro users have a all new game to play now: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming. You can even mix Dock and Icon themes from different launchers. Google Play is yours for the take.
And of course you still have the other extras: configurable homsecreen grid from 4x4 to 6x6, resizeable widgets, and, never seen in any launcher: control over core Android window animation speed.
Important: FTL supports all resolutions and ICS, but only 800x480, 854x480, 960x540 and 480x320 devices have 3D drawer enabled! Also ICS has no 3D drawer because it does not contain the "old" opengl interface. But as it is natively accelerated anyway, 2D drawer should be very fast.
Features:
Theming support: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming.
Tweaked for extreme speed and smoothness
Fully accelerated 3D Waterfall app drawer
Option to use "normal" 2D app drawer

Choice between 3 and 5 icon Dock

[Q] How do you arrange your tablet home screens?

What do you guys prefer having on your home screens when it comes to widgets and apps?
Do you go for usability, productivity or design?

I don't like text underneath the icons on my homescreen and I shrink the icons in the app drawer. In all those years I regret that Google doesn't offer those options. So that leads me to ADW EX launcher, which I use on all my devices.

use nova launcher, have done since its initial beta release. i got for a default home screen which is minimal then a second right screen with a few more frequent apps. I always have a dock at the bottom for most frequent apps and try and increase the dock from the standard size with smaller space between icons. I dont like text underneath any icon

I've used Nove for some time. Great launcher. Love swipe gestures. But I like functionality on my N5. Wondering if there are any useful widgets worth considering on an Android tablet.

xposed
I like xposed framework because of the neat different transparencies and other features that it brings to the overall setup. it's going to be interesting to see how framework helps Android lollipop 5.0 customizations.

I use Nova as my launcher and use of the gestures.
Only one homescreen, no icons, only Dashclock widget. Keep it nice and clean. Swipe up to get the app drawer and that's only one page. Swipe down for Firefox. That's all I need, clean and simple.
I disable the lock screen too, waste of time.

no lockscreen
nova gestures 1fingerup drawer/ 1fd notificarions/ 2up settings/ 2dn novaset/clockw playstore/ccw chromebeta
1 blank homescreen
random cycling wallpaper doubletap to switchnow
