Right Ugoos Launcher version 1.3 is available in Play Market
Here is a new 1.4.4 BETA version for manual install

I really wanted to check it out, but it just crashes on my box. Won't open even once. I have noticed that a lot of launchers do this, though.

Displaying apps on one raw
Hi,
Is there any option to display the apps of the selected section on only one row (in stead of spreading them on all the screen)?
This could be useful, especially on TV, when a movie or an image is already on the screen. This way, we don't hide all the screen with the app shortcuts.
Of course, this supposes that it is possible to show the launcher over an already running image (or movie) like the android tv launcher does when we hit the home button.
I tried your ugoos launcer and its good. I however settled with tv2 launcher. Reason being that tv2 launcher let me save the settings and then copy those settings to another box and import everything in few clicks. I don't have to do everything manually again and again. BUT Ugoos is still my 2nd backup option. Can become number 1 option if it has the import settings option.
I have some other ideas also..
please add recent app option
thank you!
why does there have to be a white background behind the icons ?? Background for icons would look much better being transparent. Also the launcher is supposed to automatically put apps in different categories but it does not do this at all. For example I have the chrome browser app but launcher does not put it in the internet category etc etc. For these reasons I will not be using it at all. Thanks
I just use Microsoft launcher. Seems to work fine

Anyone know if there is a way to do this with stock app?
When i hit phone, it is annoying to always be on the dialer screen. Yes, I can speed dial a couple contacts, but I have a favorites list of 20 or so, and I would like to land there first.
Any ideas other then an alternate launcher? Would an alternate launcher even do this?
That was a nice feature of the iPhone. 99% of the time I am calling 1 of the people on my favorites list as well, this would be nice if it was possible.
I do not know if it is or not.
Would also appreciate this setting.
A work around that might be useful:
From your home screen find a screen that is fairly empty and long press like you are adding a widget. Select "Shortcuts" then select "Direct Dial" Choose someone from your contacts list. You now have a direct dial shortcut to that contact on your screen.

I actually did that. I even made my own icon that matched the Launcher Pro icons and added it to my dock. It direct dials my best friend.

Not a bad idea but not really a solution/work around for a shortcut to your top 10-20+ favorites.
I agree - not a good solution if you have many on a fav list. For a 2 or 3 I just use speed dial from the dialer.
Has anyone tried Dialer One?
(from the thread looking for an alternate dialer) I'm too new they don't trust me with linking to it.
Another possible alternative is to add a Folder Widget end select "Starred Contacts" from the list.

What app do you use to grab a screen shot?
Regarding Screen Cap:
If you are rooted there is a market app. Another way is to use the ddms.bat tool that is in the SDK - it launches the Dalvik Debug Monitor on your computer and this can do a screen cap (Menu - Device - Screen Cap)

no app when I took that. It was using the android sdk to do it. Guide on how to do it is found here: http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/07/21/how-to-take-screenshots-of-your-android-based-phone-from-windows/
Launcher Pro ( the paid version ) also has a favorites widget that will let you configure either full screen or 1x4.
Why not just use dialer one? You can do exactly this with dialer one + you can do so much more, like custom backgrounds and change all the text colors etc.
I just added the folder of starred contacts. Really nice, actually.
please post your adw launcher settings . what u guys have it set to for smooth scrolling and better performance.
First of all I downloaded THEME ONE for it.
Second I checked in UI Settings LAB & RAB and Secondary Actionbuttons for in total 4 shortcuts in your dock.
Therefor you need to uncheck Desktop Dots in UI Settings (first option)
I also unchecked in Drawer Settings Horizontal Drawer, it runs much smoother vertically when you unchecked it.
At Swipe Down action in System Preferences I chose Open/Close Notifications, so you can hide/show your notificationbar easily.
Also I checked System Persistent.
Further on I made some icons for in the dock and add shortcuts with Bettercut (a must have app if you want to use your own icons)
Finally I made my own wallpaper combining two pictures in one for a "canvas at the wall" idea...
Result:
ADW Launcher with Theme One works for me very smooth and i doubt I will ever replace it by another launcher.
Cheers,
Arnold
Hi guys. What is the highest version of ADW that works with the X10.
( The market update doesnt work - only with 2.1 upwards ).I have 0.7.6 and cant seem to get to the themes menu to change eg. to adw theme one.
By the way does anyone have an apk for a better version of adw.
Thanks
I still use the 1.01 standalone donut and it's working good on the x10...

You'd be better off just playing about with the settings to get it how you want. I've only changed a couple of settings and left most of it stock.
LAB & RAB selected, hid the status bar, disabled the horizontal drawer, and changed the background colour of the drawer.
I also use a modded ThemeOne theme with Sticker album icons.

The app is available for download on the Android market or AppBrain.
Detailed user guide is available here.
nice app to add to your portfolio. i've downloaded it and giving it a try. i like the ignore apps feature with MRU, keeps my handy apps even handier. i might just have to get rid of my folders now, i'll be sure to leave an appropriate rating in about a week.
just for my sake, LRU is only based on last use; MRU is based on the number of uses; and Pro gets an additional ordering based on total time used. is this correct?
edit: sorry, missed the link to your blog, which covers that question clearly.. thanks

thanks, i've activate mine. it's look beautiful.
Thanks! Felt it is slow.. maybe need some tweaks to make it smoother and fast
Scrollable widgets are painfully slow.
Same as 4 version
Activated fine, but side dock doesn't work. It tries to get me to download Prime (which, remember, I already have because of this), and I can't. Bug? I think so.
EDIT: And there's still ads.
I activated it but I have a question. if I back up with titanium and I delete it, can I install again as prime version ? Because I am using another launcher now.
Thanks.Which activity is for the app drawer? I'm trying to set my navigation functions and can't seem to find it

I don't suppose this update added support for overlapping widgets....?

Big Launcher is an application designed to support older people to use smart phones more easily. Big Launcher includes an interface with icons and large text to help older people can see easily. In addition, you can pin contacts and applications to the home screen to make it easier for older people to use quickly, without having to perform many operations. Young children can also use the phone more easily thanks to this simple interface.
The main reason people have trouble with touch screens is that app icons are too small for their hands or eyesight. So, if you can't help your grandparents touch the right app to open, you can install BIG Launcher to make these icons bigger and easier to use by showing only the mechanical options. copy.
Main function
Simple interface with icons and large text suitable for older people to use
Simple installation, with no lock function for editing
Support Weather Widget for your convenience to keep track of current temperature and weather
Support clock widget with big text
Note
Must have Internet used to download weather data
GPS location: used to get the weather at that location
Read contacts: to get contact list attached to the home screen
Read write memory: to save data
