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

*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.

I'm using a Nook Color running cm11 nightly

simply but good. maybe u can make folders fiture in next realese
Thanks to all!!! I'm actually developing the 0.4b, with a big number of fixes and some new features!

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

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!

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.

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. ^_^
GWL is a new free Lockscreen that focuses on the comprehensive use of widgets on the screen lock is designed so that everything you put in it are widgets and therefore supports 100% of existing widgets for Android.
In addition, following this philosophy incorporates a unique unlock, any knowledgeable person can develop their own widget that will help unlock the screen and to prove "GWL unlock button" is incorporated into the app.
Also I liberate a miniSDK for users with more limited knowledge you can design your own release buttons/widgets.

If not using a menu from the list of widgets, you should appear seamless.
Anyway I mean all those in the market.
It is possible that some extreme launcher modifications as MIUI got some problems, so there is this phase of beta testing, to identify best and fix them.
Ill help. how do i get the app?
Love this app
Give me a chance to be beta tester!
Thanks!
I'd love to be a beta tester as well, I could even test your mini SDK if you like me too.
Let me know
Tiwiz
nice one, will give it a shot.
does it support a "passive" mode (that is, non-interactive) for the widgets? that would be very neat for most widgets I can think of putting on my homescreen. I basically need status information like weather, unread messages, todos/agenda, and stuff like that. being able to make those widgets passive would allow me to get information from them without compromising the lockscreen's actual purpose which is preventing the phone from unwanted input.
Force close on start up, on Desire HD running MIUI 1.8.5

My feedback
Hi,
i gave it a try and here is my feedback:
when adding a widget, the title is still in another language
The widgets can't be moved
after unlocking, it goes into 'car mode', please change
The setting "use secret code" doesn't stay highlighted even though it is an active option
Also for the custom wallpaper, so i think i can say that active options doesn't stay highlighted
The security code can't be swype (with swype beta), if this is not an option it should be mentioned
It isn't clear or explained what "use the force" does...
When i press the "home" button, it locks in stead of going back to the home screen
Disabling functions isn't really possible because nothing stays highlighted
When disabling your app it goes back to the default lock screen (glass) and not back to the previous one, in my case the security lock with swype.
I have a SGS2 phone with the cognition ROM v1.31
I hope this helps you further programming. I have to say i like the idea very much. Maybe in the future you can have certain apps as well, like phone, whatsapp, messaging. So that when you unlock you can go to these apps.
Keep up the good work. good luck.
ok im going to give it a go i will report back any issues i have
hi,i have tried it on on my rom but it gives me fc!!
Hi mate, nice app.
I tried it and I have som suggestions.
The default "unlock" system is too easy, I think u should provide at least one scrollable unlock button as default to avoid accindentally unlocks.
Another suggestion, I found it hard to place widget in some positions of the screen, maybe u should implement something to move widget when they are placed. Something like a menu entry "Move Widgets" should be good.
Sorry for my bad English
CYA
i'll definitely try this out
Very good, here are some suggestions
Fix the wallpaper to fit the screen.
But more importantly, add a mode in the app itself to trigger an editing mode which will allow you to move widgets around in the lockscreen. It would also be awesome if you were able to add different unlock modes, like vanilla unlock, drag a bar down, touchwiz unlock, sense 3.0 unlock. These are just ideas, but so far no problems. Good job.
Also please add descriptions to the settings, I didn't understand a couple like jedi mode.
seems good so far. any plans for offering an API for 3rd party developers to let them lock/unlock the lockscreen?
I love you guys!
Thank you for this amazing collaboration I have in mind all your suggestions.
-I liked the "passive mode", it was something I wanted to add.
-As you move from place widgets is more complicated, but of course I will try to implement it.

Yes, I plan to publish a small sample code with the unlock button on googlecode on a few days.
But if you desire to keep trying is as simple as that when it's time to send the signal to unlock use this public broadcast:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent("com.firezenk.gwlads.kill");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
----
It seems that the program is not currently compatible with MIUI if anyone could send the LogCat from time to give FC would appreciate it very much.
These are the issues I had so far:
-Soon after I added a widget it crashed without any warning messages.
-Could not remove the widgets in the usual method, had to use the Menu>Remove all widgets option
-Sometimes Launching the locker does the same thing as pressing the home button.
-Car Mode got enabled
-When adding a widget the title is still in Spanish(?)
-Could not find a way to launch the application settings.

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?

MiLauncher for Tablets
I'm proud to announce the overhaul of the MIUI Launcher for Tablets.
It's been a very long time since I've updated the project, as when I left it, (due to not owning a tablet any more) I believed that it was working as I had intended on Tablets, sadly, as of Android 4.3 that was no longer the case.
With the release of Android 4.4 I obtained another tablet and decided to update the project. This is the result of my work, my research and the help of a few others, who will be mentioned below.
Please, provide feedback, hit thanks, and most importantly, enjoy it. Please understand that this is currently in beta, the bugs that it currently contains are all small graphical quality of life ones, and I'll be getting right on those.
As someone who is studying full time, please understand that I don't have a lot of free time, but I'll do my best to update this regularly and respond to any concerns or issues you may have.
I do not give permission for my work to be redistributed, direct linked or posted anywhere else other then XDA-developers.com or en.miui.com forums. Anyone who shares this must post a link to this thread and give credit.
Landscape Mode Only - Persistent for the moment.
Grid Sizing Options;
-6x6
-7x5
-8x5
-8x6
Pretty MIUI Icons
Various Transition Effects
Hide apps from your home screen and make their access pin protected!
MIUI Widgets
MIUI Theme Market
Android 2.3-4.4 support
Code:
Beta 1:
31st March 2014
Initial re-release
Based off MiHome 2.22.0
Resolved an issue where the launcher would not open on Android 4.3 and 4.4 devices
Not really a ton to say as of yet
They're probably a little giant, brace yourself.
Bug or Graphical Issue / Work around
Beta 1:
The MIUI weather clock 4x2, Clock 2x1 and Clock 2x2 do not appear graphically correct on the HP Touchpad.
> Pending further feedback from other devices. Stock and non MIUI widgets work.
In the Launcher Settings -> Launcher: There is text that does not appear in english.
>This is the Hide Apps With a Pin Function.
Static Wallpapers seem blurred when using this launcher on the HP Touchpad.
> Pending further feedback from other devices, not sure if this is device specific or not, Live Wallpapers Seem to Work Fine.
There is text that does not appear in english in the themes market
Obviously as the market stuff is server side, I can't change that, however there may be a few local images > Pending further investigation.
MIUI Express Locker is terribly scaled, low res and buggy
> Disable Express Locker, which is stated in the install instructions anyway.
This is something I'm still looking into and I'm not sure if I can fix it, generally it's about as buggy and slow as most lock screen replacements anyway,
not sure if they've improved that from the last time I used MiHome on a phone > Pending further investigation.
If you have an issue be it graphical or performance based, the first step is to make sure it isn't a bug from your rom,
if you've excluded that possibility post in this thread, for me to be able to do anything with it, you must include;
Code:
Your Device Name
Your Android Version
Your Current Rom
Your Device DPI
Version of this Launcher
The problem.
If you haven't followed the install instructions below, don't expect me to do anything to resolve your issue until you do.
Part 1:
Download and Install MiHome-Step1.apk
Once the launcher loads, slide up from above the nav bar and hit "Launcher Settings."
Scroll down the options until you find "Cell Layout Type"
Hit it and select the option that suits your device best
Please choose wisely because you'll need to re-install the app to change this.
Part 2
Download and Install ZSC.mihome.BX.apk, (X being the latest version number)
You will be prompted to update MiHome, obviously confirm it.
Once MiHome loads, you may or may not notice a rather mangled looking clock widget.
I am aware of this and for the moment, delete it.
Head into launcher settings, if you don't have a physical menu button look in the next section.
Hit the "Lockscreen" option, uncheck "Use MiHome Locker",
this is the lockscreen replacement Xiaomi includes with the launcher.
It doesn't play well with larger screens or landscape as of the moment
Optional But Very Recommended
If you do not have a physical menu key,
long press an empty part of the screen and hit the "Toolbox" icon.
Select the "Launcher Settings" icon on the far right.
You'll see the icon is on your home screen, open the settings.
Hit the "Launcher" option, look down at the last option "Choose Swipe Up Gesture Function"
Hit it and select the last option "Swipe up to open Menu."
Now you can view all your options by sliding up from above the nav bar again!
If your transitions seem slow, or strange when changing home pages,
Head into "Launcher Settings", Hit Launcher
Hit "Screen Transition Effects" and select something other than "Classic",
This is optional, but Classic looks silly and makes the launcher seem less fluid.
It may also appear strangely on some devices.
Beta 1:
YOU MUST INSTALL STEP 1 THEN INSTALL STEP 2
Step 1 - Refer to the Instructions
Step 2 - Refer to the Instructions
Code:
I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device, but I highly doubt anything will.
Why I should disable MIUI Lockscreen ? Can I apply theme ?
The lock screen causes graphical issues on larger screens, so feel free to enable it if you'd like, it also looks kind of weird when it's upscaled. Themes can be applied but so far it only affects icons, wallpapers and home screen related stuff. Hopefully, ill be able to fix the lock screen but for now, I recommend you disable it.
Lock screen:
Looks nice. Will try it soon, thanks!
Only work in landscape mode?
The launcher is very beautifull

MIUI doesn't use app drawer...look for an icon called Other apps on the last page of the drawer. it would be awesome if OP made an portrait version too...

what do you mean ? the standart grid size from mihome? or like me (note 2) from stock touchwiz launcher?
edit: it would be so nice if you can make a version for note 2...because the 4x5 grid from stock mihome is bad for the big screen

6x5 will do just fine. 5x4 will be exactly like iPad, plus the dock on both sizes. Anything more than 6x5 will be too cluttered for a small screen, like mine 7".
Thanks!
Nice to see this on my tab.
On very little bug: frame off photo widget is not showing complete.
Verstuurd van mijn Galaxy Nexus met Tapatalk
do you release note 2 version today?
Later this afternoon Also, the way MiHome was developed to be only portrait, I'm not sure if i can add auto rotation at this point. If needed download "rotation locker in the play store
Unfortunatly due to storms in my area I'm unable to upload as I only have internet tethered from my phone, not two version up tomorrow.
Whats going on here ?! Something new about note 2 version??!!!
we are waiting
it works perfectly on my tablet... thanks....
sorry, but note 2 version is still waiting i pinned your thread so say if you dont have it
Could a note 2 user please try this for me:

like the idea but its crashing before it sets up every time, im in the HTC m8.
Great job man, I really love the concept. But could you give us an option to change the icon size of the app drawer.

Problem Here,
Its Force Closing On 4.4.2 Kitkat.
Not Even Starting.
Is This App Compatible With Kitkat?
Thanks Anyways
the feel very happy very nice and clear
Not working on my LG G2
Setup works fine but after that keeps on crashing, Love the concept but can't try this due to some error, Dev please fix it in your free time :highfive:
So I tested it for 3 minutes. This is what I would say.
The home screen, is this a home screen I mean there should be option to directly switch to app drawer.
Icon size of apps are large I would consider using small size.
Limit on no. of apps, this shouldn't be added as premium feature.
No widgets.
Shouldn't weather location be auto set & even if we type in search box there should be suggestions coming up.
In this initial test didn't find usage of the smart switch off Internet on/off.
This isn't a launcher at all, in launcher there is beautiful app drawer. This thing needs much improvement, I guess it would become my primary browser when v3.0 will come.
Seems to look good. Clean, minimalist, simple, but won't run on my Xperia Z 6603, stock, rooted 4.3.

Hey Bishal, yes it should be compatible with Kitkat - I tested it on a Nexus 4 with 4.4.2. Would you be able to get me a logcat or could you please report the crash? Thanks!

HI Me_Ashish,
Thanks for trying it out! In regards to your concerns, the target audience for this launcher are not power users - it's a simplified launcher for those who want a simpler phone. However, I can add some of the features you requested into the next version:
1) Automatic location detection
2) Ability to directly switch to app drawer.
Also, or the internet to automatically switch off, you have to enable NetManage. Additionally, the internet will switched off 5 minutes after your screen is turned off.
Thanks again for the feedback!
On the Xperia 6603, setup starts with name and loops (fc-restart at name again), endlessly. BTW, I don't have a owner profile on my contacts app.... Will get logcat next time I run it, its 1am & tomorrow is Monday, need 2 sleep...
