Very nice launcher with screenshot but it takes some times to test features !
Thank you for ur good job!

There is a pandahome launcher, i guess same people develop this launcher.
Very nice launcher.

seem attractive. gonna try. ty.

Theme Template/Source
hi, do you have a theme template or theme source code i can get hold of to start doing themes for your launcher ?
thanks
Markyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Hi Launcher.... that reminds me of my Palm time, where i used a launcher with the same name. Anyway it is a nice launcher, just have to find out if
1 if i can hide the notification bar
2 if there is folder support to store apps
3 if it supports notifications for new messages, missed phone calls, new email
The cities for the weather are very few, it should have the option to choose other weather services with more cities. Seems also that applying themes for the weather widget does not work.

I like it!

More remarks:
Looks like the notification bar cannot be hidden, at least i have not found how.
There is no built in folder support lik many other launchers where you can drop icons on top of others to create folders. Personally i like folders much better then the used groups.
The dock at the bottom cannot be customized, i would like to put some other app shortcuts in there, also a slidable dock would be nice, to be able to accomodate more often used app.

gonna give this a try.. so far very nice.. no wat to change the clock widget to 12 hour tho

Very good concept by pandahome team .few updates are needed to make it more smooth.
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda premium

I have 3 dock bars going. On the dock bar, while you can't change the main 5, if you have different messaging, dialer, or browser apps, you long press and you can switch from say the stock messaging to a downloaded messaging app.
I'd like to be able to create more folder sections. So favorites, Apps, Games, System, Newest, Times, Add I thought the add would create a new folder (say like a multimedia folder) but it drops in chosen apps from a list.
So I'd like to see it able to resize widgets, change the main first five dock icons, make new folders and rearrange their order. And maybe this is stupid but I'd like to be able to slide the folder area up rather than click and it pops up. It slides down...I'd like it to slide up.

New folder creation and arranging their order ,no problem.widget resizing still not available. Main dockbar icons change not possible,but selection of downloaded apps instead of stock one possible.

Anyone tried the latest Hi Launcher v1.8 with Samsung Galaxy S III with Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1?

Really good launcher so far. I'm running in to flicker issues with the status bar when toggling the status bar using a custom desktop action icon, and some lag when using the app drawer. Really excited to see this take off.

I have been going on and on about this launcher's potential. This is the real deal. I do agree with the comment on the app drawer, it kind of reminds me of the one on chameleon and is maybe the least fluid part of the experience. Performs way past any expectations i have from a beta and has a unique level of polish for a launcher. Runs very well on my n4 but I plan on testing it on my galaxy s2 later to see if it can run without crushing what's left of its spirit. Keep up the great work!

There is an annoying lag when swiping home screen to left/right, the others are perfect except the drawer

Ok. I'm tested it and:
1. App dawer is to... standard

I like the UI and all the thing . The setting is also nice full with color .

I don't trust developers who put out the same app under different names. Something is sketchy. This launcher has been in the market as GT, Freeflow, Solo, Limelight, and iDavinchi

Does this release include a vertcal app drawwer or is it still horizontgal only?

@spriver
Is GTL and Solo Launcher using same code base? Or its same - just different branding !!
Could you please explain?

Does it have tab ui

Hi all and welcome to a new era, nowadays with Google's fantastic platform updates, an increasing amount of applications and launcher are being released. All offering different and unique features. But this launcher however stands out amongst most of them. Why do I say this? Give this launcher a try and you will most likely get your answer straight away. This launcher has a cutting edge interface, all inspired by the formerly known application "Google Search/Google Now" of course we have to credit Google for this experience and they deserve the applaud, because the app is simply amazing.

You can skip this part if you wish, unless you want to know how this launcher came about. So one night (about a month ago). I was tired and went to my room to sleep, all snug and warmed up in bed, this is usually the time when random ideas and concepts flow through my mind. One of these concepts was to design a Launcher that looked like Google's design scheme. I thought this would be a great way to learn about Android development and make my idea into reality. So I quickly noted this idea down, a week passed by and I stumbled upon the note and I wondered a bit. And after a deep thought about this, I hopped on my computer and whipped up some magic in 2 weeks. It's now been three weeks (This will differ in future, since I doubt I'll be updating this story). And I felt like releasing this new Launcher because I want opinions from you guys on how I can make this Launcher work and function. So I present to all, Active Launcher!

I am open to feature and other suggestions, I have just started the project, I hope you all like it.
Thanks for using Active Launcher, this launcher will not be released to the Play Store for now, as there is still quite a bit to work on.
Also Active Launcher will be available on older Android devices in future releases.

Sorry that you cannot test it out, just hold on tight.

Ok man

Looking good so far,
but as you said some apps doesn't open, for example evolve sms for messaging.
And i have some strange really big icons in the app drawer.
Would you mind to open a google+ page for this launcher?

Thanks, and yeah some apps will not open, because the default messaging apps are set.
In future releases I will add a feature where the user can select which app to run.
And as for the app drawer, yeah some icons are random and big.
This is slightly difficult as I'm going to completely ditch that app drawer and implement a different one.
Here, I just created the Google+ page.

Thank you so much for your hard work and the early release :good: Your launcher attracted my interest and I will keep testing it.

At last something new and up to date with Google's great UI design. It's time to say goodbye to still great, but bit old Nova and Apex.
Hope to see this project evolve in to something mature and useful as these two.

Looks interesting! I'll definitely keep an eye on this!
I'll wait out until those app drawer bugs are fixed until I try this out myself

Looks good. for a long time i have been searching for some new kind of launcher and your project is promising

Thanks guys for the support, I will surely continue this project.
Hit me up with some features that you'd like to have in this Launcher.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Hey man, this project is very exciting. I really like the concept and appearance. Great implementation of translucent statusbar. So here's my feedback:
Like the idea of system apps in app drawer. Maybe, instead of removing it completely, make it optional
Always listening feature possible? I definitely tried "Ok, Google" to my own humorous disappointment, lol.
Make app drawer button and blue part under it auto hide and have ability to pull it up just like notification tray is pulled down.
Maybe instead of just cards for each app, there could be multiple "card screens" or homescreens that each house cards with information relevant to particular apps. For example, the Contacts app could have its own cardscreen with contact cards with options to call or text that person at the bottom of their card.
With that said, the following are more far-fetched ideas:
Make app cards launch app with just a swipe. If u could swipe immediately into certain apps, that'd be epic, dude.
Notifications, such as text messages, could come up directly in the launcher as cards ready to act upon.
Yea, so don't have as many far-fetched ideas as I thought.
Anyway, really like where this is going. Hope you continue to imaginate!!

@Justinchi thank you for your feedback! Many of your ideas had already been mentioned on the Google+ page and for the other ideas you have, they're really good. And as for the swipe feature, its possible
I will be debasing the application on a different layout as working with this single layout will mean, too much work.

[Q] Launcher

Hello everybody!
First I want to underline that I know that there is no any "best launcher", it is just a matter of taste.
De gustibus non est disputandum.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am writing here, because I am tired... I am looking for a suitable launcher for me for a few months...
I have tried almost all launchers from google play and a lot from xda that are not on google play...
I should mention that my phone is now: Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and I am running currently Dirty Unicorns rom (4.4)
So... I am looking for launcher that is at the same time: stable, fast, light-weight, doesn't consume a lot of ram and is customisable...
WHAT I USED TILL NOW:
1. launcher 3 - It is great, very fast, stable etc. but it can't be customized for example: I can't hide apps in app drawer (it is a must have option for me)
2. Launcher google now - Fantastic launcher, but not light-weight and the only way to customize it is to install a special xposed module... Also I had a few problems with this google's product - for example: when launcher 3 was installed, google launcher wasn't working properly and was always asking me to change him to default (but he was )
3. APUS launcher - this one would be the best... But it has a lot of unnecessary add-ons which slows my phone down... Also I am not using defalut LCD density, but smaller one (200dpi) and with this density this launcher had a lot of problems -- cutting text, icons looked wired and were 'raged' I would say... That's why I had to resign of using it
4. Nova Launcher - good one, but not for me, I experienced bugs with widgets and it also made my phone slower (a lot of people can argue with this, but that's what I felt after using it)
5. Smart Launcher 2 - Just terrible, nothing more to say
6. Vire Launcher - A lot of customizations and the 3D transitions are great, but too heavy - slows my phone a lot
7. Inspire launcher - Problems with LCD density and almost all customizations are paid
8. Solo launcher - This one I am using now, is very stable, has a lot of customizations, the drain of battery and ram is not that big, but I have expereienced a few bugs - i.e. with transtitions in app drawer or with wallpaper, that's why I need to change it...
9. Go launcher EX - just NO
10. KK Launcher/S Launcher/Galaxy Launcher - Great, but makes my phone a lot slower
11. Swift Open - This launcher is one of the greatest, and has a lot of benefits, I love it, but the only thing is that it still is in beta stage and has some bugs and till the developers make it bug free I need sth else...
I am also saying no to those launchers:
-dodol Launcher
-Buzz Launcher
-ZERO Launcher
-EverythinMe Launcher
Well I checked more launchers, but there is no need to write more...
My question is, does anyone know a launcher suitable for me?
If yes then write here about it!
PS. I would make my own launcher, but I am beginner in programming, for now learning basics of c++, so pls don't say "Make your own launcher"

Hello everybody!
First I want to underline that I know that there is no any "best launcher", it is just a matter of taste.
I am writing here, because I am tired... I am looking for a suitable launcher for me for a few months...
I have tried almost all launchers from google play and a lot from xda that are not on google play...
I should mention that my phone is now: Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and I am running currently Dirty Unicorns rom (4.4)
So... I am looking for launcher that is at the same time: stable, fast, light-weight, doesn't consume a lot of ram and is customisable...

Here is another one that I'm currently checking ... but not started yet to play with:
lightning_launcher_extreme > check on the playstore "net.pierrox.lightning_launcher_extreme"
You will find a bunch of tutorials on youtube as well for an idea.
It looks like very customizable and light-weight.
My 2 cents, then. Hope it helps.

Hi, thanks for the answer I have already tried this one and it's not good enough and I don't need customizations like rotation of icons or making strange looking groups , also it is paid now (sometime ago it wasn't) ...

Besides Trebuchet, the new SlimLauncher that comes with SlimKat builds would probably be perfect for RAM usage. It looks like your i9100 hasn't had builds for a while and wouldn't have the latest one, aside from the fact that you're running DU.
Here is a link to the SlimLauncher.apk v1.0. All credit goes to Griffin Millender, @gmillz of SlimROMs.

I will try it as soon as I get home, thank you very much [within 10 hours]
Btw. My device is i9000 and we have stable SlimKat there (although I never tried it)

I just tried it and it has all feautures I need and seems not to slow down my phone - but It is to big (resolution of icons and layout)
So thread is still open

You're welcome. Look under General > Icon Size...
It's there.
Keep in mind that SlimLauncher is still being worked on.

Slow down? Just look and feel or you have measurements?
I started using my first launcher Nova few days ago initially hesitant but feel phone is faster.
We cannot add pages in moto g default launcher it max to 5 pages fixed.
Still feel 4+ mb app size for a launcher is memory overhead.

@NoSpamDan - Well it changed my icons size and fits great, but I will in a minute upload a ss of a layout bug Thank you I will check inside the app and see how the layout is there and maybe fix it myself, but not at the moment... @vikraminside - Just look and feel The change is seen from the beggining, so I am trying to avoid such launchers, it's just my opinion, anyway thanks

What happens when you select Widgets and long press one to add to home screens? Doesn't the bottom bar disappear, revealing the whole screen for widget placement? It did for me...

Yeah, it seems to be good, when I am adding widget...

Nova launcher ignoring non English font apps. Its a flaw I found.
