Many thanks for this i always wanted 7 Screens.
edit: working. 7 Screens!
So what did you mean with "'Prettier' Animations & more 'Friendly' feeling"? I cant see a difference.
For me, its just like the Stock-Launcher but with 7 Screens and that is everything i want
Again, many thanks for this!
edit2: not sure, but i think i just saw the prettier animation. the little slide while changing the screens?
Its a nice addition!

I find the changing of screens by dragging a little harsh hence I modified it. If you used iPhone/iTouch you know what I mean by harsh.
Glad you like it!

hi,
thanks but how can I changed widgets, shortcut...?

Very nice,
Have you found a way to eliminate the 3d app drawer?. Its way to slow.

do i have to root my nexus for this?

GREAT!!

@DocRambone
Slow? The menu runs fine for me. But well, if I say yes, what would you wanna change the menu into?
@shintu
Yes. Needs root.

More like standard popup. The animation make it slow to use. open an app take much longer than with old style launcher

nice!
What font are you using ?

The perfect Launcher to me would have:
1. Auto-rotate - entering text into the search box would be much easier in landscape.
2. 7 screens - you got it!
3. Things that are disabled to become an option for the user, ie. long press to add to desktop. I only say this because I like to long press (as opposed to menu-add) so that I dictate where the item is added. Otherwise, you have to add it and then drag it to the desired location.
I believe you are on the right path here. I for one like the new app-tray vs. the old one (coming from a G1), so I say keep that.

I don't remember the name of the font. But, its from a theme called elegance. See Android theme forum.
I too like the new app launcher. Though it isn't flexible like the old launcher. Yes, I have landscape on my new build. Everything works except the app menu. Well, it does work, just glitchy. Can live with it though. I now have a 360 launcher!

I wanted to mod Launcher2 during my coming holidays, but since you're already at it, may I suggest the following:
1. Make the number of screens customizable. I still prefer 5 personally.
2. Make long-pressing on the Drawer/"Menu" (the thing you press to start the launcher) activate the overview of all the screens as well.
3. Remove the dots indicators at the size, and replace them with icons to launch apps. The best will be to make it user configurable. That is, I can choose Browser for left icon and say, Twidroid for right icon. (I know there is a mod that does this already but it's fixed to the 2 apps that can be launched)
4. Fix the FCs . It still FCs quite consistently if you have a lot of large widgets (4x3 or 4x4).
Also, I believe app menu is glitchy due to lack of drawables (or maybe the 9-patches are done properly?). Should be able to fix it easily .
I know it's a long list, but you're asking for comments ! Keep up the good work!

Can you delete the wallpaer the girls
Thanks

1. I'm still wondering how to dynamically change the screens. I'm not used to storing preferences in Android either.
2. Yeah, I was thinking of the same thing too!
3. Hmm.. I was thinking the same for this too.. but.. putting the app icon itself will not match the launcher theme somewhat.. I mean.. it'll look ugly.. ideas?
4. This.. I haven't experienced yet. Hmm.
5. The app drawer glitch isn't because of the drawable. It's utilizing a surface.. perhaps a GL surface. That's why it isn't flexible. Kinda sucks.
As for the wallpapers, I'll delete and leave only one so that the filesize is lower.

Great job!
I really wanted 7 home screens. I love to keep some blank to enjoy a live wallpaper.
But like all great things there must be a critic. Is there anyway to add 360 auto rotation? I love this feature.

Thank you very much
I'm waiting for your new version

Looking at Apps Grid for landscape now. I think I can make it work. ^_^

The greatest launcher, without any doubts ! thanks!

I'm using Go Launcher, but I'm sticking to 2.60 since that's the last one that returns to your home screen when you exit an app. I really don't like the way the newer versions return to the app drawer instead. Why this change wasn't made optional, I really don't understand

I think that's a tipical return, if you open an app from app drawer, when you press the back key to exit, it back from where the application was opened, instead of press back key, just press home key .

Thanks for replying
The behaviour used to be different and I preferred it that way. I usually want to actually exit an app, rather than leave it running in the background. It means that next time I start the app, it starts at its 'start page' rather than where I last left it running.
I'm not trying to say everyone should do it my way (although I'm not the only one who has complained about the change) - I am surprised it wasn't made an option. This is perhaps the most customisable launcher out there. I can choose from a million different transitions, separately for vertical app drawer, horizontal app drawer and home screens; I can choose what kind of home screen indicators I have, and whether they should fade out; I can configure 2 different actions for each dock icon, and choose a different icon for each. So it's really surprising that this change was made without providing the option for the old behaviour.

why is the title 'FINAL'? according to the website, theres another version coming.

My favorite launcher.
However, the sphere and cilinder transition effect for the homescreen(not the appdrawer) is very laggy on my galaxy s2 while it is smooth on the older galaxy s. Howcome?
And sometimes the appdrawer icon on the dock doesn't response.

How are the apps sorted in folders? They seem almost completely random to me. I thought it was order that you add them but I add new apps to the folder and they wind up in the middle of the folder.
It would be nice if they could be sorted in alphabetical order.

i am using adw , who can tells what differences between them?

Downloading now I'll get back to you on what I think about it
Edit:I like it's simplistic nature and the vertical scrolling, I just wish there was a way to setup widgets maybe underneath the weather or something. Still very nice for a launcher

Thank you for your opinion! I want to add the widgets in future, but now i need to make my application more stable. Get in touch for future updates!

WOW! Very cool launcher!
Suggestions:
* Option to show/hide am/pm
* 12/24 hour in clock
* Improve weather location search. When i activate this, before i can search always back to "use my location"
Thanks my friend

Very nice launcher.

*Hidden Apps (Not Hided apps)

As the creator of Lucid Launcher I say good job! Very fluid interface.

Liked the launcher
Simple and awesome.
Thanks.
Edit: using back button when on launcher updates the weather and all apps. Please look in to that in the next update.

Edit2: nope, the wizard keeps popping up when I use the app. Is there any way to stop that? I can't use the app right now

Try to disable everything into the wizard (shortcuts and weather). If you can, please do a screenshot. I'm actually creating the skip button on wizard. Thank you for your report!

Just to make sure: It's the wizard itself that's acting up, not the launcher. At least in my case.
If I press "Home" while in the wizard, I can go to the home screen and go into the settings from there. I managed to diable wheather, but when I go into "Shortcuts" of "Hidden Apps" (-> I assume you made a mistake there as the menu is called "Hided Apps" ), the Wizard comnes right back.
I cannot post a screenshot of the wizard right now, but there isn't really much to show anyway: It's really just a completely white page.
Looking forward to future versions. :good:

Tested this launcher and i want to say i LOVE it. Still missing here and there and hopefully this launcher will turn out great and awesome because this launcher is very minimalist, all on front, and easy. Feel like having an android married with iphone. But for now i will stick with stock cm11 launcher. Definitely will be my daily launcher after become more stable. Thumbs up and cheers and best of luck
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA Free mobile app

Hello dev. I am on a Droid Razr Maxx HD, stock 4.4.2, no customization at all. I cannot get past the Wizard screen. I need to force close the app in order to exit. I am dying to try the launcher, this is exactly what I have been looking for from the description. What can I do to help you trouble shoot?

Thanks for this, ill try

I'd also like to see a few swipe features. Give us the ability to swipe left, right, and up. For example: if I swipe left, I can open google now. Swipe right I can open Blinkfeed, and swipe up to open camera. Let us customize what the swipe actions do. That would make this launcher awesome imo.
Also, add the ability to put widgets in the scroll area.

This launcher is great! It's so simple I love it. There are two things I would love if you could add:
1) I would like to replace the clock with one of my clock widgets of my own, I would love to be able to do that.
2) It would be nice if we could access some of our widgets by swiping to the right or to the left. Say, I make a swipe to left and I access my frequently dialed contacts, calendar, etc. Please add widget support.
Also, I don't know why, but if I add Google Camera (for 4.4) as a shortcut, it also adds the stock camera app of the phone. If I hide one of the two camera apps, the two of them are hidden as well. Other than that, everything is incredible. Keep on the goo 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"

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)

NoSpamDan said:
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 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...

[APP] [4.0+] [PRO] [UPDATE: 4/24/15] Widget Pager - Lock Screen widgets

Hello XDA!
I made a very nice app that allows anyone to have lock screen widgets. You can configure up to 4 widgets. I will be creating a pro version in the near future with MANY more features!
You can download the app on Google Play!
Now anyone can have a page of widgets on their lock screen!
Widget Pager
WIDGET PAGER PRO IS NOW ACTIVE!!!!
Get It On Google Play

This widget doesn't work for my phone. After I install this app, I set the widget I want to be displayed on my lock screen, but nothing happened.
I'm using Allview V1 Viper S (Walton Primo S2 rebranded for Romania), with rooted stock ROM.
PS: Excuse me for my very bad english.

Android versions
Nice job but please mention Android versions it will work with.
Good luck !!!

Did you enable the app by ticking the check box where you configured your Widgets? If so, look in the bottom left hand corner on your lock screen for the button to show your Widgets.

Can you try the updated version and report back? Thanks a bunch!

I very like your widget! It runs good on my i9300 with Android 4.4.4
However I discoverd a bug: the time-out period for the lockscreen is now the same as the time-out period in display settings. Without your widget the time-out in lockscreen is the default 5 seconds.
Could you please fix this?

Thanks and can you do something about resizing widgets or chose number of widgets like 1,2,3,4 chose buton?
Also start icon can be more stylish (in my humble opinion like rounded with shadow) sorry for criticism
No rush

I'm not a big fan of graphic design
The code itself takes some time to build so the start icon was thrown together quickly Maybe in the future I'll make it nicer.
About resizing widgets, I am making a paid pro version that will allow resizable widgets, zoomable widgets, unlimited pages of widgets, paced-anywhere-widgets, and some other things I cannot recall. I do this in my free time and need to start profiting off my work. Which is why you see ads in the free version (Even though that doesn't generate a lot of money.

Thanks a bunch for the offer! I may take you up on that! I just don't have the time to make it look flawless. I love using the software tho.

UPDATE: 1/15/15
- Fixed reported crashes.
- Close widgets by pressing any button EXCEPT home and power button.

@elesbb not sure why I decided to give this application a try now as I had it bookmarked for some time, but omg, I've been missing out! anyways, a couple of suggestions on this software. possibility to either move the icon for activation or have it automatically move above the keyboard when trying to the enter password for a locked device. right now when my device requires a password to unlock, the icon for activation kind of gets in the way of the key to the lower left of the screen. would be nice if the activation icon would move itself above the top row of the keyboard when opened or allow one to configure its placement. another suggestion is some way to remove the widgets from the application as there doesn't seem to be a way to remove them once added. not that big of a deal as I figured out four widgets to add, but prior to this I was at a loss to clear ones that I had added.

Hey, just wondering if you could help me get your xposed modules working?
G900V (Verizon)
NK2 stock (rooted)
Galaxy S5 Widgets Module
Samsung Multiple Widgets Module
I've been trying to get the widgets to work while using pattern lock. While set to swipe, I can add, remove, edit, etc the widgets. Set to pattern I press the +, it has me unlock device and then I can choose which widget I want to add. It only adds widgets to the lock screen while set to swipe. Any one else encounter this or know how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

@elesbb not sure if this default behavior, but it looks like when I activate Widget Pager and leave it open the screen never goes back to sleep...

What good would having your widgets open for you to see them if the screen would just shut off when it feels like it? Its default behaviour. Either shut it off manually or close the widgets. If I didn't add that, people would complain that they couldn't read/interact quickly enough with their widget because the screen kept shutting off.
