Metro UI

This is just a thread for my application: Metro UI. Please post any suggestions. I would post a link...but it won't let me. My Application is called Metro UI (BETA).

Was checking this out the other day! I didn't understand how to get the tiles going. Any help?

This. Is. Awesome.
How do you remove tiles though? it added 2x SMS tiles for some reason, and I can't find a way to remove one of them.
*edit*
NVM worked it out, just long hold the app in the app list.

Great app i like this interface a lot especially after last update
this is my suggestions for improvements so far...
-I would like to see the option to hide applications in the "appdrawer"
- Needs folders ( in the squares, it would look nice if the folder looked like the home screen so that you push the folder square and get to an page whith more squares). sorry for my bad English, hope you understand what i mean...
- would be nice to be able to resize and rearrange the squares
- also more custom icons
later on I would like to see an lockscreen in the same theme and perhaps the ability to place widgets in the squares but thats not important at the moment
but as i said in the beginning , great app i will follow this closely

Verry nice, great work!

- maybe a little more documentation how to configure
- use widgets

Agreed, being able to use this interface with the millions of Android WM7 icons out there would be brilliant. Give us the option for 3x1 etc panels and an image chooser and you are on to a winner.

cool i like it, quite fluent as well
edit/ destroys the battery, 10% usage after being installed 20 minutes on a battery unplugged for an hour wtf?
uninstalled.

The app is awesome... icons in the squares are a bit small. Havent had any problems with battery life on my samsung fascinate.
Would like to see the actual wp7 animations though. The cubed music app uses it in the" boring" layout, so it can be done.
Want to say thanks and keep up the good work. Sms tile updated with go sms, so that's pretty cool.
Well done sir.

Really nice app. Quite smooth, although on some moments it is choppy, but hope it gets fixed in final version. Even when it is in beta it is the best Metro like Launcher.
Def considering buying the full/final version. Also think about Metro like lockscreen.

This is very good!
Miss custom images and colors, and a sort option. And how about transparancy? Also if I use the back button, it exits the app..
But a very good start!

No problem with battery drain here, been using it for a day with no significant drain on the battery compared to other launchers.

I can confirm this too. If are installed more than one Launcher, with the back button it opens an other Launcher.
Metro-UI taskbar needs other icons e.g. BT, GPS, etc then only battery and singnal.

Great app. I was wondering if any possible way to get counts for tweeter and regular email? That would be awesome, otherwise very smooth on my phone.

Hey its the nicest metro ui till date, and the best part is its so light. And its super fast on my desire.
Well done sir, hope to see more customization soon, and it is currently my UI choice.
Thankyou

just thought of a suggestion. Could you give the option in the metro ui settings to turn off the highlight when you press a tile?

tiles dont show up on my mt3g

On my Droid X after I installed nothing shows up. I get the top area with battery, 36, signal, clock, and arrow but no tiles or anything, just black below that.
Any help?

You need to add tiles. You can do that by opening the app drawer and long pressing the apps you want.
FYI - You can later remove those apps by long pressing them in the app drawer again.

Great, great feedback. Thank you!
Some of these are already on our plate - working on getting dock customization in ASAP - but those that aren't are going straight from your keyboard to the developer's ears. Thanks, again!

My phone's being repaired right now, so I can't try this. Are scrolling widgets supported?

Awesome work !! Really a good launcher. Makes my iFriends go green
Will post any features needed/ bugs

willing to try this and have great faith in the project. I love seeing a launcher with a difference and will download in the morning to my vibrant running cyanogen mod. finally if you are in need of a beta tester please let me know and I will do anything to help.

I like it.
Down points-
Slow to scroll from screen to screen
Confused on how to resize widgets.
I didn't see how to change what screen goes in what order. Example-I could never get my homescreen to be the middle screen instead of the 1st screen.
I think I'd like a swipe up gesture that allows quick screens glance rather than the middle dock button being the quick screen glance.
I give you props on this. It's turning out nicely and will continue to do so!

Gotcha.
In terms of the widget resizing, if you long hold on a widget and tap 'Resize' you'll notice the bounding box + arrows pop up. From there, you should be able to resize by tapping and dragging on the arrows to get the dimensions needed (if you're not seeing the arrows or that functionality's not working, definitely let me know).
Re: setting the order of screens - we don't have that included now, but it's already in the works for a release in the very short-term.
Lastly, hadn't considered the upward swipe gesture idea. Let me stew on it for a bit and see if there's something we can do there.
Thanks for taking the time to drop the feedback - love it!

I am trying the Launcher (although I prefer plain vanilla LauncherPro). It's tricky trying to get use to using this. I am so use to using an almost empty, plain desktop.
I wanted to try this because of the news feeds as it seems easier than opening the browser and going to the news sites.

really good, but on my sensation (960x540 px resolution) the themes doesnt resize properly, there are blurry icons and backgrounds. only the widgets are looking ok. i hope youll make it compatible with qHD (960x540) resolution.
glad to see that you are working on the screen order feature
a setting to change the transition effect and a running apps panel (task manager) would be very nice!
i dont like the photos panel, i cant scroll through the photos when i select one from the list, i must first go in fullscreen mode... it should be more like gallery 3D ^^
waiting for the next update

Totally understand - it's a bit of a departure from layouts featured in ADW, LauncherPro, etc.
In fact, one area in which we need to improve in is explaining the basics of Claystone. Once you play around with it it starts to come together, but we've got to do a better job in bridging that gap.
Thankfully, I've got a Word doc in front of me ready to be dumped into an HTML layout with the aim of having that ready within the week!

Of those, I can tell you that a 'Running Tasks' panel is ridiculously close to being included (as in: we've had it in there, but haven't quite finalized it yet in deference to other features).
In terms of qHD compatibility and revised photo functionality, I can't promise that they'll be featured in the next build or two, but can say I'll bring them to the team and see where we can slide them in on a priority scale amidst other feature development.
Really appreciate you helping out - thanks!

[APP][2.0+] Statusbar enabler in full screen app - Smart Statusbar

This app is developed by the same Dev who makes the popular Android Apps Button Savior, Smart Taskbar, and Everywhere Clipboard.
Smart Statusbar is the first and only statusbar enabler for full screen apps on android devices. No more lose track of time or important info on statusbar when you are reading, playing, or watching movie.
To enable statusbar, just do a simple top down swipe from top of screen. By default, statusbar will shows 5 seconds. You can also adjust the timeout to your preference in settings.
Please note. This app doesn't work on Honeycomb and ICS based Tablets. They are very different from phone version of Android. So no statusbar hidden problem on those tablets. So do not download if you want to use it on ICS or HC tablets.
NO ROOT REQUIRED!
FEATURES
☆ Reveal statusbar in full screen apps
☆ Gesture activation
☆ Works on 2.0 and up
☆ Adjustable statusbar enabling duration
☆ Vibration hint

jerryfan2000 thanks for bring another amazing tool for us. This app is simply amazing. wow!
By the way, is it possible to disable statusbar by gesture instead of timeout?

This feature is already in my mind. I will for sure add it.

wow! really, really great app! I'm going to do a review on this for my YouTube channel. My viewers are going to LOVE this!
Great job! awesome settings, easy to use and understand. Great beginning tutorial!
Very very well done simple app.

I thought my setting was too few too simple. Great that you likes the simple setting design.

Hello,
Is that possible to add a mod in order to make all the applications in full screen ?

Great app, I've got a handfull of requests/observations but please don't think I'm complaning at all, the app does exactly what it's supposed to, I've just got a lot of idea's. I second Prockkaii's post about making all apps full screen, I would love to see that added to this. I know in CM7 there's you can make holding menu hide the statusbar but you have to do that for every app and I don't believe it sticks after a reboot. Also a bottom statusbar option would be nice and just so you know when I tried using the bottom statusbar in cyanogen I couldn't bring the statusbar up with the top gesture either. It would also be nice to be pulling the shade down from the gesture instead of swiping once to bring up the statusbar and then a second time to slide down the shade. It would also be nice if the bar would pop up automaticaly on a notification.

In reply the request from IvanNCase and Prockkaii. I indeed had plan to add this feature but i am still trying. It is not easy. So maybe will never make it at all. But I will try my best to introduce this feature.

Request: try to make it use less Ram if you can

Thanks for the feedback.
In fact, my fear is that I'd used my Galaxy s2 for about 6 months, and during this period I'd never activate the rotation and all my applications are showing the status bar.
And now on a white screen, I see that there is a mark of the status bar. On right side, I can even see the mark of the battery.
So that's why I would like to have this feature and not remove the status bar.
But again thanks for you apps.

I'm currently using the pixel fixer in order to fix that. I'm running it for about 2 or 3h per day, let's see what happens in 2 weeks.

Awesome!
Working like a charm so far! HTC Inspire 4G, LordClockan ICS 4.0.3. Keep up the good work! Exactly what I was looking for.

tried this out on my Galaxy Nexus and it worked perfectly as described. However, there is some lag that it particularly noticeable when scrolling through home screens and the app drawer. Once this lag is fixed/eliminated then this app will be perfect!

Nice job. Really like the smoothness and animation. When u can add some kind of a gesture to fade in and an option to change the icon-links it would be perfect. I don't like the ring left on the screen when faded out. Also I think the Icons are a bit too responsive I make it spin offen instead of pressing the icon.
Making the icon-links change-able could be very important cos I and I think most of the users have camera, Browser and so on the homescreen or linked to gestures which takes also just 2 interactions to Start. Like the fading in and clicking the button, so no improvement. Yes yours look better I know.

I will add an option to replace/change apps with what you want, but I am not an android expert and it will take a little time.
You are right, with normal launcher it takes 2 interactions to start an app, in Lazy Launcher too. But this way is more fancy and I guess at least x2 faster
Thanks for your great suggestions.

It's a good concept.
Just needs to be more customizable.

Thanks tntnt! I will make it more customizable ASAP.

Updated:
+App chooser added.
+A little more customizable now.

I like this app. i just installed it. May I suggest that once you click on an application you should have the option in settings for the circle to remain fully open with with your added apps or it to collapse back to the circle.you could probably put a time out feature. I find when I launch an app I have to hit the circle again to close it because the apps block what i'm looking at. I also noticed that I have to hit an app a couple of times to launch it because the apps spin around. Hopefully that can be fixed.
Great work

[App][Widget][4.1+] LaunchBoard: best app drawer replacement

LaunchBoard for android is your perfect app drawer replacement. Launching apps has never been this easy.
Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appthrob.android.launchboard
What do app drawers do? Show you all the apps all at once, how dumb?
Meet LaunchBoard, and say goodbye to searching through long list of apps & cluttered folders
Let's admit it: 90% of the time, you exactly know the name of the app that you want to launch. With LaunchBoard, you use this knowledge to avoid seeing unnecessary apps in the process of launching apps
It's all in the first letter of the app. To open 'w'hatsapp, you quickly press 'w' & you're presented with just the apps that start with 'w'
Long press apps and mark them as favorites to make accessing those apps even easier.
There are 2 ways to use LaunchBoard:
Launcher icon
Homescreen widget
Pin the Launcher icon to the bottom tray of your homescreen. Clicking on it will open Favorites by default. So, if you have marked all your frequent apps as Favorites, they are just a click away. If the app you want is not in your Favorites list, click on the 1st letter of the app in the keyboard to quickly get to the app
Adding the LaunchBoard Widget to your home screen is the best thing you can do to launch apps. YOU CAN THEN GET TO ANY APP WITH JUST A SINGLE TOUCH. Try it, you'll fall in love with it.
Use the Theme Engine (Settings -> Appearance -> Theme Engine) to tweak the look & feel of the app. Using Custom themes, you can create & apply any number of themes. Intermediate and advanced level of theming allows you to tweak the colors of every aspect of the app.
Hope you enjoy this app. Have suggestions? Let us know in the comments

How LaunchBoard is better?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks for providing me a chance to explain how LaunchBoard can be better than the other alternatives, I'll try my best
To launch apps using search bar in other launchers, you would need to:
- click the search bar or swipe down
- Type in letters until the app you want shows up
- In most of the cases, the results will be shown on top of the screen (as in Google Now launcher). So you have to stretch your fingers to get to the app
LaunchBoard on the other hand was built to get work done with as less clicks as possible (perfectly suits those who like to type a lot less)
If you want to open 'Whatsapp', you just press 'w' and it's readily available to you for launching.
Here's the most important part:
To tap the fullest potential of LaunchBoard, you need to do 2 things:
1. Add the LaunchBoard widget to your homescreen, so that any app is then JUST ONE CLICK AWAY
2. From LaunchBoard, long press on the apps that you frequently use, and select 'Add to favorites'. e.g. If you add 'Whatsapp' to your favorites list, it will be shown on top whenever you press 'w'. This way, you don't even have to skim through the list of apps to open your favorites.
Of course, Z Launcher provides a creative cum innovative way to reach apps by drawing letters on the screen. But it's just more fancy than practical. You would feel great for the first few days, but later on, swaying your hands to draw letters would begin to feel taxing when the craze dissolves.
Try the LaunchBoard homescreen widget to launch apps for 2 days and you're sure to get addicted to it a lot, as it's simple, and just that.
The best part is that you're not locked down to a specific launcher(as in the case of Z launcher). You can add the LaunchBoard widget and icon to any launcher.
Just choose a launcher that you like the most, or keep switching between different launchers when bored, but add LaunchBoard to every one of them and have a consistent Launching experience
Thank you!

Actually a good idea! There are launcher which do this but adding a widget on my homescreen is actually IMHO preferable.
There are two things which could be better: The icons for the favorites are to large and waste unnecessary space. Maybe you can make them scalable.
And second support for icon packs would be great. When use my launcher with a super duper icon pack and then look at the ugly system default icons in your widget...

Thank you

Battery friendly
The best thing that I like about this app, apart from being able to launch apps quickly is that, it is extremely battery friendly. No battery drain due to background jobs, and nothing. Just pure value as it works flawlessly.

Thanks for the in depth answer. But wouldnt the gesture like writing faster then having to put up an keyboard and presseing a key?

LaunchBoard was built with the main intention of reducing the number of clicks needed to get to the app you want to launch.
If opening the keyboard using the app icon and then pressing a key seems a lengthy process for you, that's the exact reason why we provide the LaunchBoard homescreen widget along with the app.
As you can see, the widget houses all the keys, and with a quick press of a key from your homesceen, you can get to your app.
Using LaunchBoard from the application icon has its own advantages too. It can be readily accessed from any home screen window, if pinned to the bottom tray.
Also, it shows the favorite apps when opened. So, if you have marked all your frequently used apps as Favorites, they can be readily accessed by just a single click using the LaunchBoard shortcut icon
Thank you!

Battery consumption was a very high priority for us, so we built LaunchBoard and made it do just what was necessary to function the best.
If you have any suggestions, please share it, we will strive hard to make the app even better for you.
Thanks.

Add an option to change layout to qwerty. Please. :fingers-crossed:

Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk

@devthrob It's an incredible tool, in miui we don't have application drawer, to find an application becomes a problem, Launchboard is not a replacement for the launcher, it's a great complement to the launcher of miui, it doesn't break with the design and is very practical.
Two suggestions,
1. Customize the size of icons and labels in the results.
2. Exclude/hide applications from results
Thanks for the great job.

We initially didn't opt for QWERTY layout, as it isn't a traditional keyboard where u type in words. U always press just one key, and the app that you want shows up. For this, the alphabetical order seemed to fit more naturally, as not everyone is very familiar with QWERTY, especially old aged ones.
That said, we'll add an option for QWERTY layout in a near future update if you still insist, as your comfort is what matters the most, and we have the duty to make sure that every single user should be in their comfort zone when using the app.
Hope you enjoy the other aspects of the app until then.
We would really appreciate a Play Store review, if you enjoy using the app.
Thanks again!

Great app. QWERTY option would be nice as well, I agree.
i'm finding it quite useful with swipe up gesture to open this app in nova.
I feel like for the widget, you should hide the keyboard part of the app. selecting from a keyboard widget to open another keyboard is a bit strange!
An option to resize the icons + icon pack support, are about the only feedback I have to add. Solid effort!

I did gave a play store review. With the same request though. Rated 5 stars. It's actually quite odd to use 2 layouts of keyboards so I requested for qwerty. The alphabetical is nice but it kinda confuses regular qwerty users.
Hope to see an update soon. :good:

Thanks a lot. Keep enjoying the app.

Love the app, but I agree, a QWERTY option would be nice. I find myself having to think where the letters are.

QWERTY is available now

Don't forget to leave a Play store review about your experience, if you haven't yet.
Thank you.

Could you add an option to the poll to launch the LaunchBoard from a side or edge gesture?
