[APP] GO Launcher 1.1.3 released.

We have just finished the first release of Go Launcher.
Uploaded onto Google Market. It seems most of users like it.
We are very glad to hear your opinion. Please help us to make it better. Thanks.
Go Launcher is an amazing home replacement app for Android .
-Extremely smooth scrolling
-Convenient icon pop-menu
-Gesture supported
-Useful app drawer to uninstall apps and kill tasks
-Removable screen previews (Up to 30 screens)
Guys~ Let me explain something most of users may concern about:
1. Q: GO Launcher(GL) restart (redraw) sometimes after quitting from other app?
A: It's android's feature that system automatically kill some processes whenever available memory is low. When you see redraw/restart, it means GL has been removed from memory due to the app you just run which might be consuming too much resource (such as games...).. That's the same reason that GL becomes little bit laggy when system's used memory reachs about 250M. In the next two release, we will consider provide a 'keep-in-memory' option to user (like LP already did). That way, android won't kill GL even in case of low memory and you will get better feel of 'speed'.
2. What are the new features of next release? (tomorrow...)
Q:
A. Support scrollable widget and widget resizing!
B. Icons won't be missing and stay the same spot after upgrading.
C. Much faster switching between tabs in function chart.
D. Fix some crash issues for Droid phones
E. Support folder in app drawer.
F. (available two releases later) Theme save and restore.
Also, recommend 'GO SMS' and 'GO Weather' developed by other folks in Dev team. .New Arrivals.
If you like Go Launcher, recommend it to your friends .
We will keep working and make the best launcher for you !
Please check updates from Google Market.
Any feedback please email to [email protected] in case I might be missing questions here in forum. Thanks!
*** UPDATED version 1.2 *****
-New app drawer folder：Drag icon overlay to create new folder
-Supported scrollable & resizable widgets
-Supported customized icons (test function)
-Fixed crash issues in Droid & Droid X (thanks Adam’s help)
-Fixed icon disappearance and livewallpaper

Great so far! But I cant change icon in Dock,...only few Launcher icons are choices. Where is option to chose it from gallery?

Glad you like it. Choosing dock icon (even app icon) from gallery will be in next release. Actually, it will not be just use gallery pic. It's beyond that. :--)

Great work! Looks very promising. Thank you so much.

Can you add the option to turn off vibrations when adding icons, removing home screens etc.

Waaaaay MIUI... Liking it though

I like you app drawer (or function chart as you call it). But it would be nice if there is a possibility to have less apps on one site (for example only 6 on second page). This isn't possible now, because when you move an app to another page one from the next page comes to the page you moved an app away.

Is there any way to make scrollable widgets work ?

Screen Shot?

Yeah i like this launcher, MIUI Style I love it.

Ok, i'm a big fan of LauncherPro, but I must say that GO Launcher really has a lot of potential. IT IS AWESOME and very refreshing.
Anyway, I think it would be even more awesome with some adjustment
some of the settings are quite... confusing i think. I expected "turn on screen rotation" to turn the screen orientation but instead it is actually the drawer's mode... which is weird.
also, I can has bigger homescreen icon? :< or something like same size icons of MIUI roms.

Resizing widgets would make this launcher awesome.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

BTW i think it still need polishing... FC on me.
but as I said, i would love to see this launcher improving.

Missing animation between homescreen and preview.
Got a FC when i start Go Launcher from the drawer.
Drag and Drop to Dock, native folder support and multilanguage would be nice

Very promising launcher! Keep it up devs!
Just my 2 cents, would it be good if the function chart (or app drawer) can be made into a loop (similar like the dock)? So after the last page we'll return to the first one (without having to flip back several times).
Another minor issue on my HTC Legend (mdpi) the font size on "Add to desktop" looks way too big imho. Maybe you can consider to polish the text as well (e.g. Shortcut instead of ShortCut, Homescreen settings (I think more appropriate as compared to setting)).
Just my 2 cents

Looks real cool. The only thing that keeps me with launcherpro is widget resizing.
Another essential thing that I miss is an option to use images as custom icons for docked apps.
Also I'd highly recommend speeding up the "function chart" scrolling speed.
One more thing that comes to my mind is that item from a homescreen is deleted only when dragged over trash icon. Would be way more convenient if the action was performed when dragged over dock (not only trash icon). That's "cosmetics" tho ;]
Apart from that, incredible work. Love the MIUI style.
Keep up the good work!

Can someone post some screenshots?

I agree with everyone... VERY promising... i would love to see folder support in the app drawer as well as hiding apps (or hiding folder) I'll keep my eye on it for sure.. cant quite take over launcher pro plus yet

Loving the transitions. Looking forward to the gmail widget next week

Nicely done.....

Icon Backgrounds possible in the future?

i didnt have to uninstall first

Love the new transitions!

the only lack compared to ADW is horizontal scrolling.. imo..

He's just toying with things, giving us a little to stay interested.
The rewrite is going to blow this whole thing open.

Because the OP copied the post word for word minus the links from an Android piracy website, and you need to do that to properly install the pirated copy.

Nice transitions. The bounce effect is a little too strong for my taste though.

For me the update broke all my widgets. I had a FC everytime I tried to click any of them. Tried reboot and everything. I then reinstalled LP and now everything is back to normal. I have no idea what caused the problem, previously updates haven't broken anything.

There is a problem parsing the package.

Does anyone have performance issues with cube transitions? On my SGS it's not as smooth as the default or scale transitions. I already changed mem usage preset to high, disabled high quality scrolling but nothing changes. Any idea?

Beta 8.3.6 is out.

[App idea] A proper wallpaper changer app

Hi everyone,
For the last couple of weeks I have been trying find a wallpaper changer app that will change the wallpaper with a given time interval from a selected folder with the wallpapers inside.
I have tried a couple of apps but none of them are effective enough. By this I mean they just change the wallpaper. They don't mimmic sliding default wallpaper movement.
If there was an app that did this I would love it if it had the option of a fade effect when it changes the wallpapers.
I'd pay for a donate version of it if it had a library of wallpaper packs to download from like minimal, nature, scenery etc.
Can this be done as a live wallpaper or does it need to be an app?
Or do you know an application that already does it?
Thanks

Have you tried "WALLME" from NumericMe, heres the link for the lite ver.
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.numericme.wallme&feature=search_result
For $ 1.40, the Full Edition has
● No ads
● More than 3 pictures sources allowed
● Grayscale display feature unlocked (save battery for devices with OLED screens)
● Double-tap and Notification-tap actions can be changed
● More special effect: reverse scrolling

Sound likes a live wallpaper which is similar to a slideshow. Users can change photos on their own

what about wiki wallpapers?

The one I use is called "wallswitch" .
Works fine and it slides the image like default so I guess that's what you look for.

I used wallswitch for a while it works fairly well.

WallSwitch was just what I was looking for. Thank you.

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

Nice application, congratulations. Maybe you should think of another name as this one might be misleading as there is a DroidWall app in the market, which is well known.

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.
