Has anyone tried this launcher in the market. looks similar to adw just installed it havent played around with it yet. everything looks ok.
I don't know about that launcher specifically but QQ Chat is a (popular) chinese chat app. We could hack it in to our old motorola flip phones back in the day.
Perhaps this is the same chinese company with another knockoff. I'd say it if looks and feels like ADW, why not just use ADW? Go Launcher seems nice too.
[UPDATE]
Looks neat. While supposedly it isn't as customizable as the popular ones, it does offer some neat features. The Contact list Apps Menu looks appealing and some of the other features. Try it out and give us a review!
I don't know about anybody else but I'm currently using the Regina 3D Launcher and live it. Plus you can add extra home screens.

Good but needs more features.

I love the app menu in list mode... Just doesn't support enough customization for me yet. I think I'll stick with go launcher ex for now, but this is definitely one to watch.

I just gave it a try and it is amazing! I love it so far. It is heavy 3d app so I am not sure if it will run smooth on older phones but it runs great on the G2X.
Thanks.
Initial review
Been playing with this for a most of the day now. Here is what I like about it.
Interesting screen transitions, I like the different swipe animations, Fade in is a nice touch, and I really like Cascade. Card is a fun variation of windmill, but with alot of icons, gets sore on the eyes. And Cube is a nice one as well, although it does get a bit laggy. Other than Cubem, they all work pretty good, even with a heavy live wallpaper working in the background.
The app drawer list setting is a huge plus on this. Something that is lacking in GoLauncher (my usual primary) and Launcher pro. It really makes finding your apps easy, and when you have alot, like I do, its great.
Clone Launcher - This is a nice feature, as it pulls whatever you have placed as screens on Launcher Pro into this launcher. It didn't give me the choice to pull GoLauncher, so it might only work with Launcher pro, not sure.
Its a pretty stable, fast and non-laggy UI. I like using it, however, the following items really are why I keep going back to GoLauncher.
Themes - pretty limited in what you can do. You can change wallpapers BUT only what is offered by the theme. You cannot choose from previous wallpapers, and you cant choose any live wallpapers. You have to get into a different launcher and set those up, then return to QQ. Same with Icons, you cant use anything but what is offered by the theme.
With that said about Icons, they are biggger than most launcher, which is a nice bonus.
Dock - your limited to the 5, with the app drawer static. It isn't easy to change them, you have to remove them, and then add, you can't add directly from the current icon. There is no second or third dock drawer, so you can only put your favorite four down there.
Regarding the QQ widgets, you get Task killer and quick switch. Quick switch works fine, but your limited to WiFi, screen brightness, sound settings and GPRS listed in the widget. You can access GPS, flight mode, etc through selecting the widget.
Task killer I am unsure of. When using it with ZDBox, I get different numbers.When I kill idle tasks using QQ, I end with 339M in use. But when I do the same using ZD, I get 233.6M in use. So not sure why the difference.
For my opinion, I like its stability and different screen transitions as well as the app list, and will keep an eye on this. However, by adding more screen customization (wallpapers, icons, live wallpapers) and more dock choices, this could become a really great launcher.
I will check Regina now, see how that works.
A few other things
Alright, forget Regina, couldn't make it work, too buggy.
BUT I do have some more input regarding QQ.
The lock screen rocks! I love the animations it gives while charging, and its a very responsive lock. Best thing is once you activate it and go with a different launcher, it still works!
I do wish we could change the shortcuts. And whenever I choose the down swipe (Home icon), I go to my SMS app, even when it QQ. So there is a bad connection or something along those lines there. Its still something I can live with, and plan to continue using the lock screen!
Lol I don't know why but I like this launcher. How is the lockscreen for everyone. Is it responsive?

the launcher honestly was very nice, but too little features for my liking unfortunately.
not enough features, but im keepin the app installed cuz i love that lockscreen!
One last update
So played some more with it and used it for the weekend. here are my last points on it.
Folders - You are limited to 12 apps only. No more. So if you got alot that needs to go in a folder (like I do), you will end up with more folders, more confusion, and more 'which folder has what app' issues. But whats cool is that you can find the classification name by checking the box icon on the right. Nice touch guys!
Lock screen - Again, I can't say enough about this. but now am going to say a little bit more. of all the free lock options out there, this is the only one I have found where the volume keys work when the screen is locked and off. HOWEVER, when you use that volume, the screen will come on (thats ok), but then never turn back off (NOT OK!)
I found out while riding the bus home. Left the office and turned up the music player while phone was still in the case. Didn't look at it until I got off the bus and put it in my car dock. Noticed it was on. thought I did that taking it out of the case, but then I noticed the battery was drained alot more than its supposed to for the ride home.
so did a check, unplugged and player going, with the screen off I turned volume up, screen came on, then never turned off (I gave up waiting after 5 minutes).
My stock lock screen is set to turn the screen off after 10 seconds, and all the other lock screens work with that time, so this really needs to get corrected.
Still hoping for updates to both the lock and the launcher! Don't give up developers!
I use it with my Galaxy S2 & love it. I have the iphone theme for obvious reasons
(check my sig)

Same here!!!!!
I like the lock screen. It sticks around after switching back to ADW EX. Keeping it installed to wait for updates.
It's a decent launcher, I normally use ADW Launcher EX though. Ya it does need some more customization and its got a good lock screen.
But I recently tried Go Launcher EX again(stopped using awhile back due to random fc's , updated version seemed to fix it) and their lock screen app Go Locker, is great! They've got the ICS lock screen theme, Sense, an iPhone clone, and a cool Santa Claus themed lock screen just to name a few. It's worth a look for sure
If somebody could take this launcher, add customize-able dock bars, allow themes from Roms (like MIUI or CM) to work properly, and add more customization to the lockscreen (like change applications, torch, etc) I would pay for it in a heartbeat.
I love this launcher but it still lacks features other launchers have, like I can't leave go launcher for this one YET
HOTLANTA, even though its cold ;-)
Their is also an Asian company that produces a launcher named cclauncher. Its supposed to be a 3d type launcher.
Cclauncher ics has some really good ics animations including the app drawer ics animations, almost identical.

After a quick search, I couldn't find a topic on this. I loved the CM10 lock screen. The fact you could easily access the camera, Google Now, or unlock your phone was really helpful. Is there a mod like this for Sky-ICS rom?
If not, would there happen to be a Galaxy S3 lockscreen mod for it?
Thank you
check the addons on skyics thread
Sky ICS has look a like lock screen but your not able to customize it like in a CM/AOSP/AOKP. If you want a customizable lock screen then go to the play store and download a 3rd party.

I've used Ten Points Pro with MagicLocker for a while and I love it. It lets you customize up to 10 apps you can run immediately upon unlock. I wish I could recommend it but I can't because I just searched and found out that it has been removed from the Google Market for some reason..:crying:
UPDATE: My bad.. apparently it was removed then re-uploaded with a new name or something. I don't THINK this is something shady, as it seems to be a name change and some added features. Worth a look if you don't mind spending $1 for it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...clocker.theme.paid.dani_rb.tenpointspro&hl=en
I found this app yesterday, and I love it.
It is like pie controls for your unrooted Note 4.
One hand, one swipe access to recent tasks and people, favorite apps and toggles.
It works flawlessly and looks cool as well. Check it out. It's free.
Lazy swipe, ONE HAND and ONE SWIPE,do whatever you want!
Slide out the "Lazy Swipe" from your screen's left or right bottom corner in any situation, you could:
1. Find and open your most frequently used applications without any settings;
2. Find and open your newly installed or recently used application, no longer need to scrolling in your many application list;
3. Switch on and off the commonly used general settings, such as wifi, bluetooth, flashlight etc...
Since this is my first post, I can't post the link to the Play Store for it, or a review of it that led me to it in the first place, but it's "Lazy Swipe".
Loving it! Thanks!
Nice! Thanks for posting!

Super super slow app
I have tried it on z1 compact running cm12.
They changed the name to Omni Swipe. About to try it now.
EDIT: I'm loving this app. I don't even flip screens much anymore. Very easy to use. Thanks.
you know pie launcher can be ran on stock phones now too
so you dont need to be root just sayin
Has anyone using Omni Swipe been having any network issues when trying to download a theme through the app settings? Lately, every time I try to download my favorite theme, or search for a new one, it keeps telling me there's something wrong with my network when everything else is working fine. All I want to do is reapply the 'Hola Awakens' theme I have on my Tab 3, which is also having the same network issue using the same app, but I can't find the install location for Omni. If I could find it, I could probably just copy the theme there. Anyway, the rest of the app works fine, aside from that pesky network thing. Any thoughts?
Okay... Please forgive me folks, but this is driving me bat**** crazy. I've looked everywhere in the settings where it "made sense" to look for this setting, but nothing... How do I turn off these stupid number indicators?
You could change launchers, that's what I did on my wife's phone since she didn't like TouchWiz and the launcher controlled the badges. You could install Package Disabler Pro and disable the BadgeProvider App in system apps. I tried that from the app settings on the phone and it's grayed out on her phone.
Have you tried holding down on the app and clearing badges then turning off notifications for that app? Of course you'd get no notifications for that app at all. It was so easy on my S9 since it has a badge SETTING BTW, BadgeProvider is a system app and only shows up if you view system apps also.

Lol good grief... I've never owned a Samsung phone (since the advent of Android, anyhow).. . This is part of the TouchWiz thing I hear bandied about in the forums? . I see. This explains why I see this term mentioned A LOT. I think I'll look in to custom roms now, because bump the hell out of this, lol! I've never liked methods, like freezing apps in Titanium Backup. I'd just as soon they not be around whatsoever! Thanks for the info.
Of course, I used to be quite fond of Nova Launcher, so maybe I'll try that first. Either way, big thanks. :good:

Yep, I've been a Nova user since the beginning but also take a look at Microsoft Launcher. I actually use that more now and it gives you many of the same options. LOL, the first thing I do on any of my Samsung tablets or phones is replace TouchWiz.
Hello fellows,
I would like to know if someone in this forum can create an app like app locker with fingerprint ?
Open source project ?
It's incredible there is no native app locker in Android 13 and i don't think in 14...
Thanks
There used to be one called MaxLock that worked better through XPosed, but seems to be dead now.
Not sure if there's any others out there, but if you're not rooted, it's not as secure anyways. There are custom roms that come with an app lock feature built-in though, so there's that alternative if you REALLY want something at a system level.

What incredible is that other OEM has it. While google insist of being so vanilla, it lack features. Lol
i use AppLock by SpSoft btw. And i paid for pro. Since the function fulfill my needs and even provide other helpful function. (ex : lock rotation in certain app, or lock brightness. Because st*pid app like zoom like to ignore my rotation setting, and keep rotating itself. )
that being said, i also use AFWall+ to block the app net connection, just to make sure no sensitive data being sent to them.
Thanks for information, so i'am not root and don't want it...
Any Hope to have this native fonction.
