[App] Ice Cream Sandwich 2.4 Launcher

EDITED 12/2/2011
NOTE - The Pro version, ICS+, is now a key! You must install ICS Launcher to continue using it. This new system will prevent many errors from occurring, such as "Duplicate Provider Authority"
FINALLY! Here is the latest and greatest update! Not only is it rebuilt, it is redesigned and based off our not-so-far away launcher called Omega.
The latest build brings tons of new settings and advancements. It also received new scrollers so it should be buttery smooth now and not choppy like it was before. lol
Anyways, APK is available on syndicateapps.com and the Android Market.
ICS Launcher V1.4.0.0 - Most stable and most featured packed version released
Market Link - https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.SyndicateApps.ICSv2&hl=en
I am not allowed to post a link to the paid or pro version because it is against forum rules. So, if you enjoy this launcher please consider donating or purchasing the paid version which includes many new features! :-D

Nice launcher.
When I click the circle app button on the launcher only some of the apps work. Like when I press the music Icon it f.c.'s. Is there a work around this???

Don't worry. honeycomb launcher is still being worked on. we are actually building a tablet version because many tablet manufacturers want it pre installed on there tabs since they can't get real honeycomb due to the devices not being up to standards. lol.
update this week hopefully! if school doesn't keep me too busy :-/

1.13ghz.Droid Incredible 1...197mb free ram,270mb free app space

In the running apps: Sms says device not supported, email-gallery-music all force close, and system settings does nothing. When you have the app drawer open and go from portrait to landscape it closes the app drawer and vice versa.
Mytouch4g running latest Miui

It looks really unique!
The only think lacking is the electric blue theme. The icons are a little blurry too.
Force closes on launching from "Running Apps". I dislike the font though.

yes, the running apps panel is not done. it is taken out of HCL because I am not sure what the real running apps looks like for Ice cream sandwich. I know the buttons force close for many of you because the package names for all devices are not in there.
after school today I will make an update of it and repost the apk.

Looks good
The dock background seems kind of unfinished though, as do other things as well such as the multitask button. Just polish it a bit and it'll rock.
Also, change the icon, it looks horrible

Vlingo Labs(BETA) - S-Voice... but better?

Vlingo is what powers the S-Voice on the SGS3, and Vlingo Labs just recently came out with a new version of their BETA app which offers more features, like talking to your phone without even opening the vlingo app.
For a official app(this one does not have the feature i mentioned above,yet, but it is more stable) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vlingo.client&feature=more_from_developer
For the BETA app with the new features: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vlingo.phoenix
Vlingo BETA shows a whole new UI (VERY similar to the S-Voice, but as far as I know, its a lighter-white theme, not dark like Svoice)
*NOTE* app works for US and Canada only right now. I have not tired to see if it will work, but try this apk if you are not located in the US/Canada

Any way we can theme it to look like S-Voice? I'm sure they can't and won't due to copyright issues, but we should be able to without any issue.

Does the beta allow "navigate to" and "open xxx" commands? I guess what I really want to know is what commands ARE in s-voice that are NOT in the vlingo beta.

*ignore*

I tried installing the apk on my LG Optimus L3 and I get a parsed error. is it for ICS only?

I'm not completely sure about that, I'm sure once they get out of BETA it would attract more themers though.

Not yet. I do think that the stable Vlingo does support navigate to and open commands. The BETA, as far as I know, consists of these commands:
Send Text Message
Place a call
Search the internet
Schedule appointments etc.
You have to understand thats why its BETA. I'm sure eventually they will bring almost if not all the features from S-Voice over.

Working great on at&t note. Best calendar voice app ever.

For anyone wondering it is only for ICS devices.

As always
I've been using vlingo for a few years now with android and each update it gets better and better. I deleted svoice off of my nexus and have begun using the beta app..... Much better than the last version.

Thank you.
Works fine on my One X (not rooted)

Works very good on my nexus s in the Netherlands!

I think the Vlingo Beta is pretty slick. I do miss the regular version features:
navigate
update status
safe reader for incoming messages
reply to for text messaging
But as posted above, there are some pretty funny "comebacks" the beta app will tell you if you request unsupported features.

Looks good so far
Anyone have 4.1 please

This is the old launcher that Sony Japan released for 1.6 and 2.1 long time ago. Now, i've modified it so that it works on both GB and ICS. I've also attached the live wallpaper that comes with the launcher and it works great as well.

Honestly, I didn't know it had to be moded to work on GB/ICS. I've searched the web a while ago and found version 1.0.0 (provided by you) and also 1.1.0, which has one or two extra options at 'Home Settings' (Image quality and Tails - for the animation.)
Here's a direct link, from some chinese site: http://count.liqucn.com/d.php?id=19...2/daolpu/moc.ncuqil.elif//:ptth&from_type=web

The launcher is working fine on ICS (tested as I speak).

Porting 1.6 stock launcher is on the list of future projects
As for the widgets, i'm not sure if it is possible to use any widget from GB+.
weekender90, there are different versions of this launcher, as you said some of them don't need any mods in order to work, however some need to go through some changes . As for the lockscreen, yes, it would be awesome to have, but i belive that there would be too much file-rewriting and even then it may not work properly.
dontbelive, there aren't any widgets unfortunately, Sony Japan released the launcher only

Sent from my X10i using xda premium

Nice port and i like the lwp. But it seems that the lockscreen couldn't take over the slider default of stock roms and it always appears before the ambient lockscreen. So you get 2 lockscreens.
Another thing i noticed is that rebooting the phone will disable access to the drawer. Only happened though when i used the launcher as a default replacement.
But still it's visually good.
Ei dev, any chance that this couls become a home.apk replacement? And i can suggest, i think this will go perfectly if themed with your 4 corner mod. Just a suggestion. Grear work bro.:thumbup:
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app

The lockscreen bug appears because the new lockscreen is a separate app that is been set to appear first when phone reboots or is being unlocked, so removing UXPlockscreen.apk from system apps may solve this problem.
For the second question i have no solutios as settings this launcher to default is something that i don't reccomend as it doesn't always loads its resources properly.
And finally, if you'rea talking about merging the two launchers it would be impossible as they have different API levels, it's a good idea though.
P.S. i'm still working on a 1.6 launcher if anyone interested

Yeah I installed and I don't see the icon I saw for it in various sites..only thing I see is some stuff in Google sync

same no icon, no difference.

Re: Icon
If you want to see the new activities you have to make shortcuts to them with your custom launcher (I use Nova). It doesn't do anything yet though since none of the developers are using the API yet. The new sync settings are quite interesting though.

The icon can only be seen if use a launcher like NOVA as its just an background activity displayed as shortcut/widget in this supported home screen (States this in the Android Police article). The game services are hidden and will work with supported Google market games when they are supported too (None are support yet as far as i know yet but could be wrong).

I can't connect to the new services of Google Play Games with any games, I tried SuperStickMan Golf 2 and some more and all are left with a white screen (loading) until the sign in fails ("unknown error").
I have Hangouts running (that use Google Play Services) and a Google+ account linked to the google phone account.
Have a International Galaxy Note 2 with Android Revolution v17.
Anyone else with this problem?
Thanks

I guess service not startet yet ?

Service runs perfect in Galaxy Nexus rooted and a Note 2 non rooted
