[Launcher] Sweeter Home Beta 2 & How to use guide [Theme]Spee Simple

After recently having a play around with this cool new launcher i thought it may be worth sharing with everyone on here.

Sweeter home is an alternative Launcher that delivers:
- Highly customisable Docks and App Draws (text, colour, borders, ect)
- Support for all android Widgets
- 5 screens (left, right, up, down) - not yet editable
- "springboard" buttons easily show & hide Custom trays and even widgets (by far the coolest feature)
- Ability to save upload and download themes quickly from a built in market
- Ability to save themes to SD
APK is available from
http://www.sweeterhome.com/
Some screens of My x10 Running sweeter home - My theme can be downloaded under Spee_Simple

--- How it works ---
Sweeter home is a new take on a launcher that offers high levels of customisation
the launcher will seem a little overwhelming at first but stick with it and post any questions you may have in this thread
Basically, The themes are made up of trays, these contain text and apps, these trays can be controlled to turn on/off by items called springboards,
see my above screens,
I have written down a few things ive learnt so far i hope they may be of help to you
--- A Quick Guide to making your own theme ---
1 - To create a new theme from scratch press your options key and click edit theme,
Pressing options again and clicking more will enable you to start a new theme from scratch
Now you have 5 blank screens (up, down, left, right) to add things to
2 - Either long press or click options and select "New" to see a list of objects which can be added to your screen
All Applications - a drawer of all of your applications
Calendar - Sweeterhome built in calendar that displays events
Contact list - a Scrollable box containing contacts
Current date - a Box containing the date
Current time - a Box containing the time
Custom Tray - A scrollable app draw that can hold selected apps (music, tools, games, ect)
Live Map - A live scrollable google map (that for some reason centers over chicago for me)
Picture - Select an image
Plain colour - an empty box that cannot contain apps or shortcuts, (use this as a background for buttons
Recent calls - Scrollable Recent call list
Recent SMS - Scrollable Recent SMS list (doesnt display phone numbers)
Search box - Sweeterhomes personalised search box
Springboard - A Key item on sweeter home, (see below)
System widget - Click to place a standard widget
Tagged tray - Useful trays that are controlled online via your sweeterhome account ( personally i dont use these)
Text - A Box of text
After you have selected an item E.G a text box Long press and click EDIT
In the edit screen you can change just about all the aesthetics of boxes
colour, frame, text, scroll directions ect
MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THE TITLE and TRAY I.D to something relevant if you intend to use a springboard to control when it appears
---Using springboards---
A springboard is a button that once pressed will show / hide other trays and widgets
this is why its necessary to change the names of the boxes and widgets you create
E.G
1- create a system widget and name it (winamp)
2- exit the edit screen and place the Winamp widget on the screen by clicking the red box
3- go back to edit and create a springboard, Call this (Music)
4- long press the springboard and select the (systemwidget:winamp) to be controlled
5- Exit the edit screen
Now hopefully whenever you press your springboard box/button labeled music your winamp widget will appear/dissapear
This can be done with most of the items, note how in my screens menus and docks can appear/dissapear with the touch of a springboard
-- Layers --
As you Photoshop users will know "Layers are important"
in sweeter home this also applies
in the "EDIT" screen there will be an option "layer level", the default for this is 10
some tips:
- always keep springboards on layer 10 as then they will always be at the top and not become covered by any text/images you place over them

what is the major advantages in comparison to LP and AWD ex?

Hi pls post apk of the power widget.
Thanx in advance

well i have tried this home launcher. it is kinda cool.

The major advantages would be the ability to create your own docks that can be shown/hidden with a single touch
the docks can contain links icons text and other widgets,
and i think with perseverance you can create docks that can contain more buttons which in turn can open more docks
its all a little complex to , but i really do recommend having a play about with it and keeping an eye on its market release

Also, is the clock beautiful widget or something different?

The clock is The X10's default digital clock app with the 1x1 beautiful weather widget, I've recently changed this so when you click the weather the 4x1 widget shows up underneath it (this keeps getting cooler and cooler)
my theme can be found under Spee_Simple on the themes menu

it's cool, but seriously over thought out.
customization is mind blowing, but so little tutorials and no explanations make it nearly impossible to make your own theme.
downloadable themes never work on the x10 due to our semcphonebook. so none of the shortcuts actually work.
looks cool, seems cool, great idea, but way to over whelming

it's very powerful when you begin to understand. Drove me crazy yesterday, but you can easily relink the shortcuts to x10 phonebook and add a lot more cool stuff. Am totally happy with it right now. It's the only homescreen where you can sort, show and hide widgets with a single button.
I actually reduced my homescreen to one screen. For example winamp, soundhound and youtube widgets simply disappear when I'm not on the "multimedia" tile It's the same with contacts, messages, recent calls, facebook and so on. really great stuff! Will post pics as soon as I'm home ^^

i'm sure it's great. i know i would like it since you have so much control over the content. but i tried downloading a theme. found out that none of the shortcuts worked. so i tried modifying it. only 1 layer would show in edit mode, so i googled around to find out how to edit/create themes, nothing found. so i tried creating my own theme. after 20 minutes, i finally got 1 box created with the time and date. gave up, took way too long just to create a theme and i really didn't know what else i could/wanted to do with it.
there's such little documentation and discussion on it that it's virtually impossible for a regular user to just download it and start using it.
that's where sweeterhome's short coming is. golauncher, adw, zeam, lpp, they are all similar in a sense that they act-react the same as the stock launcer. so even if you can't find info on them, you get the gest of how to use them. sweeterhome is different, large learning curve and little documentation.

I have updated the first post with a quick guide of what ive learnt so far, ill keep adding to it as i learn more, i hope it can be of some help to anyone
svtfmook - if you long press on the screen you have the option to select items that are hidden under layers (at the bottom of the longpress menu)

I understand most of the basics and like my customization quite well, but I wasn't able to do one thing:
how can I create a springboard, that enables one tray and disables another one at the same time? To explain what I want to do: I want to create a big clock in the free space of my homescreen, which is on by default. But when I for example press "messages", the clock should disappear and the (transparent) message box should appear right there. Sounds quite easy but I didn't find an option to "disable on press". Is this possible?
Another thing I find quite annoying in Sweeterhome: you cannot swipe when there's an object. My screen is quite filled with springboards, which makes it difficult to change screen
Everything else is just fine, and I'm amazed that Sweeterhome doesn't lag although my homescreen is filled with widgets multiple times
edit: my homescreen right now:
http://img819.imageshack.us/slideshow/webplayer.php?id=screenshot10d.png
it's pretty much a predesigned theme from the market, but all the shortcuts and springboards had to be fixed since none of them work on x10.

I can confirm qwer23´s statement when you want to change the screen. I really hate this. I need about 5-10 times to change screen -.-

Ok, what you ask is possible. first what you have to do is put the clock on a low layer like 1. Then make a picture on layer 2 that fills the whole screen that matches your wallpaper (or dont even use wallpaper just just full screen pictures like i do. Then in the spring boards that you are using to open your custom tray, use it also to open the picture thus covering layer 1 and making your clock disappear.
You just need to experiment. there is a lot that this home replacement can do.
For instance, you can have one spring board that opens 4 other spring boards simultaneousnessly then each one of these can control certain menus or folders and widgets. then from within each one of these you can have it so clicking each spring boards will either close all other boards or keep them open depending on the group that you lable them in.
i encourage anyone to give this home replacement more then a 20 minute try because it takes a while to figure everything out. I wish the the developer would make a tutorial on how to take full advantage this.
one word of advice. don't bother using any of the themes that you can download because they are set for other phone with other defaults and other programs and widgets and they will not work properly on your phone. just go to edit and start a new one from scratch.
it takes a while to get what you want. for example if you want a custom icon there are 2 ways to get this. first you can create a picture containing the icon you want and then create a custom drawer, exit edit mode then long press that drawer to add the icon from a list of your apps. then go back into edit mode. edit the custom drawer to lock so you can not add more apps or remove this on. then edit icon style and change icon blending to clear so it is invisable thus only showing the icon picture you added the first time. blahhhh... sounds like a lot of work. well it is.
the other way is to use desktop visualizer. create a widget with the one you want and then it is done.
be patient and give it a try. here is a theme that i created.
first is the home screen, press the android and it opens a spring board to other spring boards with commonly used apps and widgets. second is my app drawer, this is the bottom screen. swipe up and it brings you here, back button returns to home screen. the last is the just more folders and stuff. i plan to do more but it takes time.
hope this helps anyone who is willing to give sweeter home a try.

Has anyone found a "solution" to scrool easier between screens?

There isn't really anything you can do about being able to scroll on an open widget. hopefully the developer will fix this in future updates.
the only suggestion that i have is to keep a good chunk of your home screen free of anything like widgets or whatever to allow you to scroll. The other this is that the back button will always bring you to your home scree so with an open space on your home screen you can scroll to left, right, top or bottom no problem and then hit back button t return to home screen and you shouldn't have any problems.

can i use this for x10 mini pro 2.1?

How can I add widget in one download theme please ?

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.

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.

+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!

Hey guys I finally ported my "hubs" set up to Android Tablets and I have to say its 10x smoother on our 1.0 ghz dual core device. The general idea of "Hubs" is to create a dedicated screen for each piece of media/productivity while providing a visual eye candy. "Hubs" is easy to emulate, and even easier to create your own style. Despite the lengthy tutorial, its actually easier than it seems. The fun part comes with setting up you layout!

-To remove top bar-Press and hold and empty area on your home screen then click on "Launcher Actions" > "Hide/Show Action Bars"
-Enable Widget Overlapping-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Check "Overlap Widgets" in the Advanced Settings Tab
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "ADW Settings"> "UI Settings" > "Screen Preference"> Increase the desktop "Rows" and "Columns" in the "Desktop Layout" Tab.
Launcher Pro Plus Users- while not optimized for 3.2, it still runs perfect.
-Increase Retail Space on your screen-"Menu"> "Preference" > "Homescreen Settings" > Increase the "Number of columns/rows" in the Homescreen Grid.
-Remove Icons From Right Dock- Hold your finger on the icon you wish to remove> "change shortcut"> "Blank"
*You may add screen transitions for each launcher if you wish, however my advise is to leave it at default as you can set transition for Multi Live wallpaper. Doing both launcher and MLW will make your screen look "too busy" IMO.

-To set title- Press and hold a free space on the screen > "widgets" > "Minimalistic Text" (size may vary per style however I use either 4x2 or 6x1 as long as its horizontal > ensure that "background color" is checked > "Predefined Layout" > "Custom" > "Custom Layout" > Click on the plus sign > "Misc" > "Static Text".
-Black Bar Tutorial click here
Wallpapers
-Set up - Load up your wallpapers on your sd card/internal memory and placing them into seperate folders and name them based on the images (ex. Music, Movies, Games etc)
- Long press an empty screen on your homescreen > "Wallpapers" > "Live Wallpapers"> "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper"> "Settings"
- For each "Screen _ Settings" Select the picture source as "Picture Folder" and navigate it to point to your corresponding homescreen.
- Additionally you make select the screen transition here that reflects your particular taste. You may also set a default wallpaper for your lockscreen.
Despite the dozen of widget on the homescreen and live wallpaper, battery use is minimal.I have provided wallpapers below to help you get started.
NAVIGATING BETWEEN HUBS​
There are two methods in which you can navigate to each individual homescreen.
Method one: Prior/Alternate way for navigation text was achieved using this methodby trekkie0927. Using invisible icons in tandem with minimalistic text can make it easier to flip to each hubs. Please rate/comment his video.
Method two: I found a great alternative to Minimalistic Text in terms of using the text buttons to jump from one screen to another called Simple Text. Since it's only an icon and not a widget, it consumes no memory and provides a great minimal look.
User AcIdC0R3 has posted a great tutorial. (Please thank him!)​
Make sure you have ADWLauncher EX
Go to the market and install Simple Text
Long press on the screen and select 'Custom Shortcut'
'Pick your activity', select 'Launcher Actions'
Choose which screen you want, 1 - 5 or 1 - 7 if your using seven screens
Click on the picture of the 2 screens side by side
Select 'ADWTheme IconPacks' and select 'Simple Text'
Select the grey box named 'Simple'
replace the word 'Simple' with whatever of your choosing like 'Video' for your video hub or 'Social' for your social media hub and so forth
Adjust your text size, Y and X coordinates, your shadow settings etc.
Click the little blue 'A' in the top right side of the screen and select your font (more on fonts further down)
You also have the option to select the color wheel next to the 'A' and adjust your text color
Select the menu icon on the task bar at the bottom and select 'Save Style' if you want to keep what you created for later use as well.
Click 'Save Icon' which will create your icon for you
Back at the black edit screen remove the text from the text field and click OK
You should now have a custom text icon that will activate whichever screen you chose for it. You can click any app icon on your screen and follow the same procedure for your apps so all your apps also have text icons.
[FONTS] In a file manager go to /sdcard/Simple Text/ and create a folder named 'fonts' (that is plural with an 's' at the end). Next go to somewhere like dafont.com and download you some kewl fonts and place them within that 'fonts' directory you just created. Now when you go into Simple Text to do your editing you will have more fonts to choose from.
That's all there is to it.
You can also work with layers within the creation of your Simple Text. Notice below where I created a new layer, rotated my new text layer and intersected where both words have the letter 'E'.
However you may notice that simple text does have it's limitations:
Icons can only be 1x1
Works best on adw
No way to resize; it is only an icon after all.
Miscellaneous
​ISSUE: You may experience widget being placed "behind" the black bars. If so try this method provided by user SwiftLegend
1. Put the widgets/icons you want on TOP of the blackbar FIRST. You need these before anything.
2. Select a Minimalistic Text Widget, I usually use 1x1. Clear out the text options (Predefined layout > Custom, delete all of the things there)
3. Once you're back at your homescreen and see the MT Widget, just long press and re size it to your liking.
You HAVE to make sure that whatever you want on TOP of the blackbar is put on the screen FIRST. Anything put on after will go underneath.
ISSUE 2: Users have reported that Minimalistic Widget refuses to post/ show up on the homescreen.
1. Turn your tablet into portrait mode.
2. Add the widget whilst staying in portrait mode as you apply you designs.
3. Rotate back to landscape.
ISSUE 3: You can no longer take full advantage of the screen real estate using adw ex (particularly the corners)
1. Recent update kills the use of every inch of the screen. In his attempt to emulate ICS, anderwebs made the edges of the screen inaccessible.
2. Revert back to an older version (1.3.3)
here's the original layout from the nook color if you guys are interested on putting this on your homescreen HERE

wow, the youtube video does look good!
I've been using static wallpapers due to performance issues when using live wallpapers in honeycomb, but this setup seems to be minimal and effective. Gonna test this out...

Awesome please let me know how it looks
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

which clock are you using on your home screen?

Very inspiring. I'll admit that I also stuck to static wallpapers in fears of sluggish performance and battery drain, but this has converted me

Any chance you could PM me a link to the bookcase wallpaper? Looking at getting my son an eee pad for his 10th (!) birthday next month so may have to bookmark your thread for him

Very nice! Could you share your wallpapers? Especially the library one!

The clock is the Cowon BOB Clock - you'll find it in the Market or all over the place here on XDA

Very nice! If you don't mind paying, I think using the widget from UberMusic would look even better. But that's just me..
EDIT: Would you mind sharing the wallpapers in the video? They all look really nice and I can never find wallpapers like that. This is replacing my Dark Theme layout right away!

Thanks Dunc101, i found that and also using CalWidget 4x4 for the look. These two combined look similar to Google Chrome widgets on a desktop. This is great!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

Can you make a .Zip file with the Clock and the calander and the walpapers...would really appreciate that..
Thanks

Not that I know of. I didn't even know the stock player lets you do that
EDIT: I'm sure you know that UberMusic also automatically downloads artist pictures, right? I was thinking of pointing Mutlipicture to folder, so you always have it updating and it corresponds to your actual music library.

Hi there, great work.
But the LiveWallpaper App doesnt work for me. The App don't change the wallpaper in LauncherPro - with the Honeycomb one it works perfect. Any idea?
Edit: forget it. Solved ^^

[App] Wallpapyrus - Play with wallpapers

Wallpapyrus - Play with wallpapers.
Wallpapyrus is for you if you like iPhone style wallpaper (no scrolling)
or
a new wallpaper on each home screen
or
wallpaper change at intervals or on phone unlock
or
a running animated slideshow
or
iPhone DeepEnd app like 3d effect
or
see Boot animations as live wallpaper
read on for more........
Android Market link - https://market.android.com/details?id=in.vineetsirohi.wallpaper
Wallpapyrus has following features:
1) Four wallpaper modes:
a) Normal mode with four styles:
1. iPhone - Wallpaper does not scroll just like iPhone and of course like many other phones.
2. iPhone with wallpaper switching - Wallpaper does not scroll with home screen but can switch after set duration, phone unlock or on double tap on home screen.
3. Android - Wallpaper scrolls with home screen like normal android wallpaper.
4. Android with wallpaper switching - Wallpaper scrolls and can switch after set duration, phone unlock or on double tap on home screen.
It's not that normal mode after all. What do you think?
b) Chain - Different wallpaper on each home screen. Either set individual wallpapers for each home screen or set folders as wallpaper source. Ultimate option for theming.
c) Collage - Collage of wallpapers. Brings the feeling of randomness and chaos on your wallpaper.
d) Animated wallpaper - the coolest of the lot - an animated slideshow of wallpapers. See it to believe it. Don't overuse it. Other modes are also entitled for the same respect.
e) 3D Effect like Deepend app of iPhone - turn phone to see effect
f) Use boot animations as live wallpaper. Just unzip boot animations in a folder and put that folder in sd-card. Choose that folder in app. If multiple folders are selected boot animations are shown at random.
2) Wallpaper layout modes (available in normal mode only):
i. fill screen
ii. fit screen
iii. fit height
iv. fit width
Now don't get limited in your choice.
3) Set folders in sd card for wallpapers. Multiple folders can be selected and sub-folders support is also available. Wallpapers are selected randomly. For Normal mode (iPhone and Android without switching) wallpapers can be set from gallery or file manager apps - just like with normal wallpapers. Use “set as wallpapyrus” instead of “set as wallpaper”.
4) Wallpapers switch either at set duration or on phone unlock. Double tap to change wallpapers is also available.
Its the best wallpaper changer / switcher in the market.
5) Get cool pics from Flickr and your friends’ Facebook pics right on wallpaper.
6) Show/hide date, icons for facebook and flickr pics on wallpaper for easy identification on wallpaper.
7) Filters for color, brightness, saturation and contrast. Wallpapers look the way you want them.
8) Wallpapyrus does not run in the background but only when the user is on launcher. It goes to sleep when the user opens an app or locks the phone. For example if you don’t use your phone for a day wallpapyrus would not run in background and kill your battery. So the effect on cpu and battery is very limited.
9) Memory usage depends on screen size – less memory usage for small screen phones like Samsung galaxy ace, htc wildfire etc. So no worries for low ram phones.
10) All these features are made easy to use and organise by "Settings Wizard" and help button on each page of the app. It could not be easier.
Of course, more is coming....
Finally its upto you to decide whether wallpapyrus is worthy of what it claims to be. Your feedback by way of emails is imperative for improvement of existing features and addition of new features. Use "Email developer" provided in the menu for easier communication. If your language is other than english just send mail in your language - developer will use google translate. So don't hesitate.
If you like the app, share app with your friends by using "Share app" option provided in the menu.
A tutorial with filters : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261966&page=7
Things I am working on:
1) I have one little problem. Wallpapyrus has default wallpaper after reboot with text "Wallpapyrus". I have to set wallpaper again and again when I am rebooting. Can you look at it please? - Bugscze - solved
2) First, thanks for the app. Really impressive. I'm not sure if it would work with a Live Wallpaper implementation or not but I would love to see schedules for wallpaper switching. For example...set the app to use one folder for Monday during the day, and then switch to another folder for Monday evening. Another example would be to use one folder or image for weekday's and another folder or image for weekends. Pwall, a non Live Wallpaper app, has this functionality, but the image quality on AMOLED screen's isn't the best. - solarus2011 - I want to give you option to save each and every setting in a profile; not just folder - so its taking late.
3) This gray scale filter is really cool! Plz make more like sepia, rainbow, android green, orange sunrise, etc. I think that's makes this app very unique. - solved ;-) And don't forget an image quality option in, mhh, 3 steps? - Andrzej - - yet to be solved
4) Currently I can only select top level directories to display images from it. My images are all in subdirectories on my external SD card and there are also some directories among them I don't want to be displayed by Wallpapyrus - Karsten. - solved

1.3.7
app size reduced
wallpaper change on unlock
some polishing in user interface

2.0.0

- New and improved user interface. Now change settings easily.
- Wallpaper layout modes - fit height, fit width and fit screen.
- set wallpapers directly from home, gallery or file browser apps.

thanks for the big update
A lot of enhancement since my last trial. But my personal opinion:
1. when double click and changing the wallpaper, there's an extra orange screen which is annoying. Its better to show the current wallpaper until the next is loaded and displayed
2. Could I hide the top left icon please?
3. bug? double click to change wallpaper. Notice the center position of the wallpaper. Then swipe to another page and the wallpaper will shift to right side a bit (Go launcher here)
Thanks.

1. the orange screen is to notify the user that double click is registered. Now i will change it to current wallpaper and show wallpaper change notification on the current wallpaper itself. Is that ok?
2. I will give option to hide icon in next update.
3. Is wallpaper scroll on in settings? kindly check.
You can ask for any customisations you want. I am always eager to hear from you.

Great work
i really like it!

Thanks for the prompt reply.
1. Since user will see the wallpaper changed after double click, its unnecessary to state the notification at all in my opinion (and its stated in setting screen already)
3. Maybe I stated not clear enough or happen on me only. First load a new wallpaper and note the center position. Swipe to another page and then swipe back to the original one. The noted location of the 'center' is shifted to right edge. This only happen on the newly loaded wallpaper for the first time.
All wallpapers are 960x480 in size for scrolling and launcher is Go Launcher Ex if these matter.
Thanks the good work so far

I am looking into the problems.

1. When i tested the app on a folder with 500 images, it took 1-2 secs to change wallpaper. So i provided the notification so that the user does not lose patience and double clicks unnecessarily.
2. you are dead right on the problem. thank you for pointing out. the problem occurs when you double click on a page other than the centre page. may be you have an even no of pages in your launcher. i am going to correct it soon.

1. oh, I don't have that much wallpaper (~30).
2. I have 5 pages with 2 is set to default

App updated with requested changes:
2.0.1
- new Wallpaper layout mode - fill screen
- option to hide image-source-icon
- No orange screen while switching
- Now wallpaper loads with correct offset.

Lock Screen Magazine Unlock subscriptions never update

I have my lock screen set up for the Magazine unlock, with several subscriptions checked, and set up for auto-update over WiFi. But I've never seen any new photos added, they're always the same ones that came with the phone. Is there some other place that you have to set up a subscription to get access to new photos? In reviews of the phone last year, I read that these were supposed to auto-update, but mine never have.

same here, I didnt payed attention to it until saw this post, not sure what else need to be done to have these updated.

Same for me, too.
Even worse, it seems you can't even re-download the original wallpapers from the lock screen settings menu, if you have deleted them (which I did, thinking they could easily be restored).
I admit that I do not miss them severely as I now simply use one of my own wallpapers as a fixed lockscreen wallpaper. But I'm quite curious though, if there is some hidden subscription setting to get the original (and new) lockscreen wallpapers back.

silly question maybe but how do you do that? I've been trying to change the lockscreen wallpaper without no luck

@ilbambino:
1. Open the picture you want to set as the lockscreen wallpaper in the stock gallery app and tap on "More" --> "Set as" (any other app which allows to set an image as a wallpaper should work as well)
1a. Optional: You might get a selection dialog first which allows you to choose how to set the image as your wallpaper. Here you should tap on "Wallpaper(Gallery)" to get to the stock Huawei wallpaper assignment function.
2. Make sure that "Scrollable" is not activated (i.e. not written in blue, but in white) and move the image to show the part you want to have set as the lockscreen wallpaper.
3. Tap on the hook in the upper right corner. You should now get a dialog asking you wether to set the image as the wallpaper for your "Lock screen", "Home screen" or "Both".
4. Select "Lock screen", so that your homescreen wallpaper remains unchanged and your lockscreen wallpaper gets set to the new image.
4a. Optional: You might want to make sure that the wallpaper shuffle function of the magazine unlock style is disabled if you only want your lockscreen wallpaper to be displayed.

Vielen Dank!!!

Sometimes, if you apply the default Theme with Magazine Lock and wait awhile, you'll get a download.
I got several in the beginning. As soon as I switched to another theme, even with Magazine Lock, I never got anymore updates.
I haven't tried going back to a default Theme...I like mine too much now!
By the way, you do realise you can build your own series of magazine Lock pictures (upto 500!) by just adding them to your cover pictures?
It's excellent. Just build your own library of high res wallpapers from any source at all, and add them. It's even much better than the original.

There is also a security issue here! If you flick up the menu from this screen and select the gallery icon on the right and then press the home button it unlocks the phone!

I like the magazine and have added several pictures of my own. I have also deleted some of the pictures in magazine I did not liked.
As for the security "issue" from my lock screen I cannot get past any screen without the unlock code or fingerprint.

It's not working here either. I have a couple images (30) added manually, but the phone never cycles through them. I can however swipe left and right on the lock screen to see the pictures.
