NoteWidget - NoteWidget requires non-Xperia users to install the SemcNotes app
Change Log:
1.3.7c (Build: 1080) 11.2.2013
- Added: Option to always keep the application in memory (to reduce redraws): Launcher Settings -> GENERAL -> Keep In Memory
- Added: Swipe Up/Down gestures now also work in the App drawer
- Added: ICS: Grid interface (Root method) for adding widgets now also works on devices with x86 CPUs
- Fixed: Status bar was transparent when showing notifications (if the status bar was previously hidden)
- Fixed: Force Close when the application is called from the Swapps application
1.3.7b (Build: 1078) 10.2.2013

I am an avid user of your Xperia S launcher and admire like anything. just wishing your good luck ahead . Xperia launchers are my favorite as they are less on RAM.
regards.
ankjain:fingers-crossed:
WOW.. what a great work MAN. hats off. the only thing i hated in previous Xperia S launcher was dock background color which was a nuisance ( allow me to say this as many people wanted a transparent dock) and you DID it Man. 5 ***** . you made my day as this is only using 15 mb ram on my Micromax A90s . i believe that with new editions you will be able to reduce the RAM.

Better than before.But the themes are not exquisite.And some apps I hid before reappear after I restart my tablet.
Hi guys,the Launcher has been updated.Welcome to have a try.
@FannyR: HELP!
How can I manage categories manually?
For example, if I look at the "Others" category, I see the "Quell" app, and I want to move it to the "Games" category instead. How can I do that?
Another example: I want to add a new "News" category, and add a bunch of news apps into it. How can I do that?

Is this different from the earlier Blinq launcher??? I saw that the other thread is closed for comments.
Anyway looks promising. Had tried the old one when it was first launched.
Just for information, can you tell me what is the RAM Consumption of this launcher? Looking forward to trying this,
Seems great I installed today it's very nice and great customisation thank you for your work.
I would like to request though if I may for an option to keep the launcher in memory as I'm getting a few redraws and an auto hide option for the dock as it keeps popping back up after leaving the home screen, I'm using swipe up to toggle it. thanks again.

It is the same Blinq launcher but a lot has changed since the initial release. The other thread is closed because the one who was maintaining that thread was unable to do it anymore for some reason, so I took over.
About RAM consumption, it uses pretty low resources, it doesnt take more than 20mb on an average device.

Glad you're liking it.
We'll see what we can do about keeping it in memory. Btw, what device are you using ?
Regarding dock hide option, we're making it better, also we're adding few additional dock options. So this issue will be fixed in next update for sure.
I'm using a HTC m8, and yes i like it a lot it's like gnl with xgels but without the need for xposed I am very grateful for this as I don't use xposed any more and this launcher has most of it anyway.
Thank you again great work.
Do we have to have google now launcher already installed, or can we just install this. Looks very nice

We'll be waiting for your feedback.
I tried the Launcher yesterday. It is an interesting launcher with great support for gestures. It is very smooth and responsive and It might take a little time to get used to. But for the time being,few missing features turned me off:
1. Custom Icon Sizing (in %)is not supported. I like smaller icons and without it the desktop and drawer seems gaudy.
2. Vertical Scrolling Absent. I prefer it.
3. SMS Badges requires Pro/Premium.
4. Multiple Dock Pages and ability to scale Dock Icons to a different size.
The feature list may be too much but I thought it could give an idea for you to develop.
Thanks for the Launcher. Will be using it sparingly till i get a feel for it.
