reddv1, with the release 2.3.4, could you make an updated version of this great launcher with sms please!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
The launcher should work on 2.3.4 as nothing has changed. But I'll update it anyway in a couple of days.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Anyway you can make a Google Voice one? Can contribute a green GV icon if its possible to use.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
I'll do it, send me the icon please.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Kurupt1:
+ 1
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tailsthecat3:
I really like this mod. Thank you very much. Could you please give me the stock launcher with the camera in place of the sms or browser icon? Thank you!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Made one that matches the darker, beveled look of the dock icons.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Use this one instead, realized the previous one had a minor fault.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
This may be a tall order, but is there any way to add a gesture to this launcher where swiping up launches the app drawer?

Only thing I really miss from ADW. I just couldn't stand the poor performance any more.

Again, thank you for this app!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
No, I don't think I could be able to do that.

I wish I could but I'm pretty new at developing, I just know some basic XML and smali editing.

I used to love the swiping gestures in launcherpro, but the overall quality and performance of LP and ADW is not on par with GB Launcher.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
I need another icon for when the icon is pressed and turns orange/glows, send asap so I can finish it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Gilbot:
Installed this on my evo cause I'm a stock launcher fan. Works well, just wish the screen transition scroll and scroll in the apps list was smoother. Drawer launch and close is faster than stock though. The SMS app in place of browser is boss!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
How are the transitions and scrolling not smooth?on the nexus s they pretty smooth, maybe because the evolution has a weaker gpu or you have alot of widgets? If you want I can increase the speed of screen transitions scroll and app drawer scrolling.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Gilbot:
Comparatively speaking, its buttery smooth on the nexus in store demo devices I have tried. Flinging the apps up or down is fast on the evo once the app drawer is opened, but the screen transition and app list scrolling when not flinged is no where near as smooth as on the nexus. I am running deck-gingerbread-2.3.4 if you were wondering and have only 1 widget up (beautiful widget super clock). It could just be the Evo's gpu for all I know.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Been busy...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] adam62882:
Thanks for this... works great! If I wanted to go back to the stock launcher for any reason, how would I do so?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] derrick_:
is there any way to allow this to use my default sms app? i use go sms, and on the regular stock launcher it will ask me to select the app i want to use by default (ie dolphin, reg browser, etc. when they are installed)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] TheEvo:
Does anyone have the zip cause the links not working.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] derrick_:
Yep. Ill upload if I can find a place
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] TheEvo:
Please just do it off mediafire
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] spx_trader:
I flashed both of these on this rom gingerbread-ns4g-deck [1.2][2.3.4 Stable]

the browser icon is there, but it takes me to sms, any ideas how to fix the icon?

edit: fixed it :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
Just posted Launcher with google voice shortcut in the OP hope you guys like it.

Sorry for taking a long time to post it, bit I had trouble making google voice open up properly.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Kurupt1:
Thanks for the great work!!! Love the Google voice launcher, so smooth.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
Links still don't work :(
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
I'm using google docs, and for some reason they don't always work from the phone browser. So to download use your PC, they will work I've tested them.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] info[]box1:
Links worked for me using dolphin's hd browser.

OP thanks for the application.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mike216:
i love it but what do you think about putting a oval transparent dock behind it.i love the smooth 3d you only get with the stock launcher but the only thing i dont like about it was the dock
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dnhrmnsyh:
i'll glad if you make it flashable for Amon_RA recovery...

regards,,,;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
Is there a reason why I cannot change the font of the app drawer text but I can in other areas of the rom?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
@ reddv1......

Any chance you could change the browser to sms with this updated Launcher2.apk? Version 2.3.5 from the latest update. Thanks for all your hard work.

http://db.tt/Gc40G9q
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
Or maybe what needs to be edited to make it work. Will apktool do the trick?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Bamdroid:
Damn. This sucker IS fast!

Sent from Neptune...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
Yeah apktool/apkmanager will do the trick!

First, decompile the apk and open arrays.XML in Res/values folder.

Second, you have to replace the text "*BROWSER*" with an intent to open SMS app or any other app you want. To get the intent, on your phone place a shortcut of the app on the launcher. Then open launcher.DB in data/data/com.android.launcher/databases and look for the app and the intent will be listed there. Copy it and paste it in the array.XML.

Third, replace the icons of the browser with the icons you want in Res/drawable-hdpi folder, there is 3 files.

fourth, compile the apk, in the keep folder delete the resource.arsc file and the browser icons you changed and finish compiling.

finally, zipalign the apk and push it to the phone or use one of my zips and replace launcher.apk with your and flash it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
Ok thanks. Gonna give it a whirl here in a bit. Ill let u know. Thanks again. Big fan here
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
By keep folder you mean the one that is called Launcher2 or do you mean the build folder?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
I edited everything and compiled with: apktool b Launcher2. Im a little confused about the deleting part, can you explain please?

In Launcher2\dist I have Launcher2.apk

In Launcher2\build\apk I have res, AndroidManifest.xml, and resources.arsc
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
No it's not the build folder. When you start compiling doesn't it give you options if the apk is a system apk and if you made any changes to anything?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
No. Im using command line apktool. Lemme see if i still have the apktool your speaking of
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
I recommend using apk manager, it has apktool in it, but gives you a simple ui to do everything that apktool does. Here's the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701

I never used apktool on its own so I'll have trouble helping you.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
Ok i will use that. So i deleted the files. Then compiled again, where will it be in the end?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
After you select compile, it asks you is this a system app select yes. Then it asks you if you changed any file select yes. Then the keep folder will be created, delete the resource.arsc file and any other file you replaced. Then you finish compiling.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
Ok cool thanks. So after i am compiled then where will the final unsigned apk be at?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
It will be in the same folder you originally put launcher2.apk, named unsignedlauncher2.apk. make sure you chose option 5 to zipalign it, but don't sign it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
Thanks so much for all your help. I did everything and rebooted. I get a force close for launcher. I am pushing it to /system/framework (like i did with your apk) im on stock 2.3.5 odex. I don't know what i did wrong? Maybe i didn't have the arrays.xml correct. I used yours cuz i compared and it appeared to be the same intent...IDK and i didnt get any errors so i don't know
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
You have to push it to system/app and I'm not sure if it will work on an odexed rom, you'll probable need an deodexed version. I think you did everything right.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
I tried it on GRJ90 stock deodexed Bugless Pete. Pushed to /system/app with correct permissions. Still force closed. I screwed up somewhere. Maybe if you get bored you can hook it up. Oh well. I appreciate your time and timely responses.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
Just wanted to say that I appreciate the work being done here.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Bamdroid:
Out of curiosity, how did you make the launcher faster? Does it use any extra battery or anything? I dig it, and thanks for putting this out there for us.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
Thanks to reddv1...........I was able to do his mod to the newest 2.3.5 Launcher with SMS shorcut. So here it is. Thanks again reddv1
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
Could you also add the tweaks to make it scroll and open faster?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
Is there any difference between the launchers from 2.3.4 and 2.3.5? I'll post it in the OP, thanks snandlal. What did you do differently to make it not FC from your first attempt?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
I'll add the tweaks today.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
Very much appreciated! Waiting anxiously.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
I used a deodexed version to start with......like you said
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
Im working on a black mms. This is what i have so far. Maybe you could take a look and tell me what im missing?

http://db.tt/CRzTNtG
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
It's really easy, you don't even have to decompile the apk to make it faster, and NO it doesn't use any extra battery.

First, open the file "allapps.rs" I have attached in a text editor, I recommend Notepad++, and search the file for my name "Eamon". there will be 3 lines where I explain what i changed to make the Launcher faster.

Second, use something like 7zip to open the Launcher2.apk, dont extract the apk, and copy the file allapps.rs from res/raw and copy it somewhere so you can edit it.

Third, open the file allapps.rs with a text editor and edit the values to your liking.

Fourth, copy the edited allapps.rs file back to the Launcher2.apk folder res/raw.

Fifth but optional step, place the Launcher2.apk in the tools folder of your android SDK, then open cmd window and run the following without the quotation marks "zipalign -v 4 Launcher2.apk Launcher2-zipaligned.apk". Zipaligning makes the app run better by using less memory.

Finally, get Launcher2-zipaligned.apk in the tools folder rename it back to Launcher2.apk and put it in one of the zips I have in the OP in the folder system/app and flash in CWR.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
Updated OP, with new 2.3.5 based Launchers.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
Link to the launcher doesn't seem to be working.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
Just tested them, they work fine for me. Try downloading them from your PC.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
Yep, got it working except I found an error with the launcher - menu > manage applications results in a force close, every time.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Kurupt1:
Thanks so much man, if you have any time, do you think you could make a 2.3.5 version with the Google voice shortcut and landscape mode?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
Try clearing the dalvik-cache and /or reflashing it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
Did just that. Still having the same problem. I also fixed permissions.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
I'll look into it, what rom are you using?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] anaglich:
CM7 nightly.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
I can't make 2.3.5 in landscape mode, I don't know how. There's a 2.3.3 lancher2 that someone made with landscape, I can make that with GV. It will run fine on 2.3.5, the launcher2 source code has not changed since November, so all the 2.3 launchers are exactly the same.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
Updated the OP with new 2.3.5 Launchers that don't FC after selecting manage apps from the menu.

Enjoy!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Kurupt1:
Oh okay, that would be amazing if you could. Thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
Here you go Launcher2 with Google Voice shortcut and landscape mode, it's in the OP.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Kurupt1:
thanks again :)

I have an evo shift and flashed this over. It works, but the icon doesn't change. Anyway to fix that?

Evo SHIFT
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
Send me a screenshot and I can go from there
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Enraged21:
Won't upload for some reason...

Well its looks just like the regular launcher with the browser. But when I click the browser, the messaging app launches. So it works, but the icon is still the browser icon.

Evo SHIFT
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
Is it the htc sense browser icon or the gingerbread browser icon?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Enraged21:
Gingerbread. I'm on an aosp rom.

Evo SHIFT
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reddv1:
Wow, that is really weird! When you press the browser button does it show an orange colored browser? Which version did you download, maybe I forgot to change it on one them.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Enraged21:
I didn't notice any orange color. I tried all four the downloads. Regular, regular fast, 2.3.5, 2.3.5 fast.

It probably has to do with the compatibility with the framework in my phone I'm guessing.

Evo SHIFT

Is it possible to make one with Navigation on the left and Phone on the right?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
Anything is possible with android! By navigation you mean....? Google navigation or Sprint navigation?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Greefus:
Google Navigation
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] snandlal:
Well I have successfully changed the paths to the Launcher with Navigation and Phone but i still need some pngs for the navigation. 3 different shades. One for normal, pressed, and selected. here is what i have so far. If you can get these i can complete it for you.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Greefus:

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] alfay13:
I love the speed and functionality of this launcher, but I can't stand the stock messaging app. Any chance a version with Go SMS could be done? Or even the camera as someone suggested some time ago.

Thanks for all the hard work man.

2.3.7 Stock

Im using a rooted 2.3.7 stock rom and i wanted to know if this will work on my phone without giving me force close problems?

and i also wanted to know if there was anyway the messaging app can open Go SMS instead of the stock messaging app?\

Edit: i would also liked to ask, is there any way you can make this only 3 homescreens, thats the most i use and i hate having extra screens for no reason. I would really appreciate it alot!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tailsthecat3:
Stock, oc kernel.

It acts quirky for me, has on all my devices that I've used it on.

I tried it out and loved it. Super fast and smooth. The only reason I went back to stock was because I use Go SMS. I'll be stoked to see a version of your faster launcher with Go SMS on the dock. Thanks for all the hard work man. This is awesome.

I would like to hear about this feature.

It has "USB 2.0" port, but I think it is microUSB port.

Xoom has USB host functionality (although we must hack to enable it).

I am hoping Galaxy Tabs has it as well!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
It doesn't have a USB port, you need a proprietary connector, a la Apple, to connect to USB. I'm assuming that you'll have to root to get USB host enabled if the Xoom is any indication.
