I had widget locker installed on my galaxy tab and wanted to change the orientation to landscape. So I switched to landscape and widget locker caused adw launcher and many other apps to crash. So I had to factory reset. Just a warning for those who use it.
Mine is currently set to landscape. Has been for over a week now as I have a Honeycomb layout with ADW EX (whichvis also set to landscape) and I have had nobissues at all.

If an app stuffs up that badly, instead of doing a factory reset you can always just use adb shell and delete the .apk out of the /data/app/ folder.
Works fine in landscape here.
thanks for the replys. I'll investigate further.
EDIT: Still not sure why its giving me force closes. I have adw launcher set in landscape. I have the force landscape option in widget locker. I am using Klean mod for verizon
the latest widget locker works fantastic on my Tab, even supports sensor orientation now.
Landscape works perfectly and secondary sliders are on the right hand side now
rather than the top.
totally worth it if you are in landscape most of the time.

Presents: VTL.Launcher v.1.6.5
****This release is now under a NEW PACKAGE NAME and no longer SIGNED DEBUG to prep for Market Release. Please uninstall any version pre 1.6.0 first unless your ROM SHIPPED WITH VTL.LAUNCHER INSTALLED Sorry for making you do that but it is necessary and the new features and options make it worth it!****
***NOT YET HONEYCOMB COMPATIBLE*** the recent 3.1 update has added some new challenges.
This Launcher is designed with landscape tablets in mind! (that's not to say it doesn't also function well in portrait mode..... as it does)
First off this launcher is based on ADW.Launcher's Source code so I would like to thank anderweb for all the ground work. Most ADW Themes will work for VTL.Launcher.
Features Include:
- tablet layout optimized (smaller screens will need to play with desktop layout and dock icon size)
- elastic scrolling
- 3 individually configurable/toggleable scrollable dock bars
- individual controls per dock for background/reflection/visibility/icon size
- icon size for docks can be set different per orientation
- user folders to place shortcuts to apps, bookmarks, contacts, etc.
- icon changing for user folders and apps.
- quick action items menu when long pressing apps, folders and widgets.
- catalogs for organizing apps in the app drawers
- swipe actions on app drawer to navigate catalogs
- uncataloged catalog where new and uncatagorized apps fall
- 1 to 7 homes screens with sense-like previews
- configurable action bindings (swipe up, swipe down, home button)
- long hold uninstall from trashcan
- moveable trashcan location
- hide home screen icon labels
- auto rotate orientation
- system persistence with configurable locked orientation
- widget size spanning
- scrollable widget support
- live wallpaper support
- fullscreen mode
- backup/restore settings
- compatible with "most" ADW Themes
This should work on virtually any device. Though non large screen devices may have issues with the layouts so you will have to play with the desktop column, row numbers, dock sizes etc.
Bug fix 1.6.5 Fixes a layout bug on the docks that messed with alignment.
Bug fix 1.6.4 fixes crash issue on some devices from 1.6.3
New in Version 1.6.3:
-Icon number per dock is now dynamic depending on dock width, orientation and icon spacing.
-Added Settings for Icon Spacing per Dock per Orientation.
-Icons on Dock now have a dynamically set Layout Alignment/Gravity per Dock per Orientation.
-Added Settings for Icon Alignment/Gravity per Dock per Orientation.
-Cleaned up A TON of old code.
-Fix issue with not showing in market for a few tablet models.
The Launcher is FREE here for XDA members. It costs 2.99 on the Android Market and with that you will get automatic updates and support further development.
MOD EDIT: REMOVED LINKS
Just wanted to clarify something in case it wasn't clear. Purchasing on the market only gets you "AUTO" updates.... updates will also be posted here for you to download free.... don't worry.... you guys won't miss out on anything if you don't buy it in the market... just wanted to use the market to get it out to more users. And to those that have or will donate.... THANK YOU! It means so much to see the support the community provides to it's developers and I want to keep supporting you as well!

Thanks! Unlike previous Ported Launchers I have posted here I am actually developing from source code on this one so you can expect more active development on this launcher.
Lil bit of a noob but how do I get to the settings for the launcher?

Sweet Jesus that's awesome! Cant wait to see where this goes.

Gona give it a go now!
excellent work. im loving it. if i may, is there any chance to have the option of a transparent dock (no fade) and perhaps the option of no reflection in the dock? regardless, this thing is great. it feels a lot faster and smoother than launcher pro.

Those options are definitely doable. After I finish up VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition Beta 1 I will look in to those and more!
I know this is made for the G Tablet, but I love it on my Nook Color.

Anyone having problems with calkulins? notification pops up half way and cripples everything. I can open the app drawer but thats about it. Any ideas?

Great work GoJimi. I've been wanting something like this for a while.
I ended up just removing the dock bar from my ADW EX and putting my 'dock' as just standard short-cuts along the bottom. (saw this idea on another thread).
Downside is that my 'dock' is only on one screen, or I have to replicate it across all screens. This launcher solves that problem.
One request. on ADW EX I can set it to 10 x 10 columns. I think 8x8 is the most supported by this launcher? I have mine set to 10 Columns, 8 Rows.
Can this be added to VTL?
Thanks!

I'll look into it for you..... knew it was only a matter of time before people started asking for EX features... ... just so everyone knows EX isn't open source so any of those features that he has there I would have to figure it out from scratch (not that I am incapable, mind you). Just remember that when asking for EX features that it will be more work for me than just copying over some code so it will take time. Also keep in mind I am trying to keep this as lightweight and functional as possible so some feature requests may be put low on the list. This request is not a major undertaking and may actually get added. All of course "after" I finish up VT.GE B1.

I get the exact same problem and I always have to restart my grab. I'm on tnt lite 4.4
Does it support themes? I can't get any to show up. Thanks for your work!!!
Thanks for this, I really like it. One thing though.. the app drawer is really sluggish on your Vegan gingerbread. Anything you can do to smooth it out?

Themes haven't been fully tested yet, but the plan is in place for it to support themes. So Soon.
gojimi, you're a beast...
just cranking out amazing stuff... thanks
i love how i can put the trash can either up or on the bottom since it's just closer to where my hands are. everything is SO customizable... would it be possible for you to add that option to change the placement of the status bar to the bottom as well? i think having the status bar on the bottom would be ideal... again, thanks a lot bro
Hi all, does anyone know of an android launcher that has discrete layouts for portrait vs landscape orientations? Kind of like how ics does it now, but something I can install on gingerbread? When I'm in landscape mode my icons are all smooshed together due to the vertical vs. horizontal grid spacing being the same for both. I've done a search for this off and on when I remember for the past few months or so but can never find anything. Is it that hard to implement?
Thanks!

One thing I have been searching for a long time... Is it possible to change how android renders its transition effects? I know its possible because romtoolbox app has this thing. But I haven't found a single thread anywhere where people show their own custom effects. Symbian had many effects that had to do with editing some xml file ... Android can do it too. So how to do it? I
especially want the iphone transition effects. Eg, when I rotate the phone (from landscape to portrait) the screen
zooms into the center and then zooms out to form the new portrait layout. And when changing/switching apps the
current app slides out through the left and the new app slides in from the right.
As you guys can see here, from my lockscreen I am using simply Chronus as my single widget on both lock and homescreens, but anytime I tap on it to refresh, my old wallpaper comes up - I am currently using Muzei to rotate a folder I recently made, not using that one that pops-up anymore. What can be done?
EDIT: I believe it's an live wallpaper thing, since the stock ones happen just the same. It's kind of awkward, but apparently is a android and app's limitation.
Can anyone delete this?
