hmmm... Android Agenda widget (6 rows x 3 cols or something like that) isn't scrolling for me...

(will try others and update post)

If I swipe downwards near the dockbar it becomes hidden. How do I get it to show up again without restarting the launcher?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mooja:
I noticed this as well
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
I was just able to replicate this. This is definetly a bug. I'll look into a fix. Thanks for the heads up guys.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] whiplash13:
Is there a way to change an icon in this launcher? I was using golauncher ex and for folders I could change the icon to show what is inside the folder which was cool. Other than that this launcher is way better.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
At the moment you can change icons for anything BUT folders.... haven't tackled that one yet.... may be headed to you in the near future (no promises yet though, lot's of feature request). For app icons they need to be on the desktop (not the dockbar) then longpress and edit from there you can change all sorts of things.... then place them back on the dockbars. I realize that the folder icons are probably most important since it is hard to tell them apart on the dockbar... so more than likely something of this nature will be implemented soon!

Every time I reboot I have to redo all my Widgets, they all say problem loading widget. None of the other launchers I have do this

***nevermind seems to be something else***
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kozmo2k4:
Awesome job! Loving this launcher.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] chadness:
I'm really enjoying this launcher! Just got my tablet Sunday, loaded the G-Harmony Gingerbread 2.3.3 with Honeycomb ROM from tjohnsonjr and this launcher, and it has been working great. FYI, I've had no problems hiding and bringing back the status bar with that ROM.

(Some of the applications mysteriously uninstalled themselves the first couple of days, but I don't know why and it seems to have stopped, so I can't blame the ROM or launcher, I don't think)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
Well done. Update includes what many have asked for - you are a very responsive developer. Loving the side docks for a truly functional home screen.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Marbieskarb:
First, I wanna give props to you for creating this excellent launcher...

I've noticed that even with the left and right dock bars are disabled in settings, when you open up the app dock you can still see the blank borders on each side as if they are active. So, the apps in the dock dont fill the screen. I tried toggling the dockbar(s) on/off setting but, it only corrected it temporarily. Am I missing anything or is this a bug?

Also, I wanted to make a small suggestion. When a category/activity icon is added to the dock could you perhaps set the drawer to close when you press on the activity icon again just like the drawer icon does? This is minor but it would prevent you from having to reach for the back button.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dazednfazed:
Thank so much for this!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
Bug Confirmed Thanks for letting me know... happens right after the launcher restarts and rotating the device with the drawer open fixes it temporarily till the next time the launcher restarts.... bug fix in the works.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jl92880:
Installed on my Xoom. I only have one suggestion:

While scrolling through widgets the quick launch for Settings seems to appear a lot. Settings where you can choose your WiFi,Brightness Ect...

I'm still configuring and will leave suggestions as I use it. So far....GREAT!

Wondering if there is a way to lock this? So in order to get to the settings you actually have to select the select icon or use the selection button.

Thanks!

I give much credit to those who program these mods - props!

Great Launcher

Thanks for this launcher! Great work! I love it already.

I do have a little problem though. I've noticed that my tablet, running TnT lite 4.4.0, locks up more frequently, usually when I open the home option screen. I see my regular launcher, launcher pro, and VTL. But nothing registers. I also notice that sometimes, the lock up occurs at the home screen itself. I hope it is something I am doing wrong, because I so want to make this my main launcher.

Thanks Gojimi for all the hard work on this. I'm putting up with the frequent reboots just because I love VTL.

Don't know if this is relevant, but my swipe actions are set at the defaults.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] whiplash13:
That would be awesome. Great work on this and your ROM.

Have you tested this on the WiFi Xoom?

Stuck @ BootLogo Screen.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jerdog:
Why would you? This wasn't built for Honeycomb....
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
it is built for most versions of android, honeycomb included jerdog... and I have had several people say that it runs fine on honeycomb and there is no major code and api difference between honeycomb and gingerbread with respect to what this launcher accesses. So I would have to believe that there is some other underlying cause to the bootloop issue stated above.

If you have adb running and can give me a copy of some of the output of a logcat I might be able to help you jl92880.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
This is a feature.... it is part of the quick swipe actions available in the settings menu. you are currently experiencing the swipe down action I believe. It pulls down the status bar notification area on pre-honeycomb and on honeycomb it opens the quick settings/notification box. You can change this setting in the launcher menu under General Behavior/Swipe Down actions.

Hope that helps

Am I missing something or did we lose the ability to swipe the bottom bar to change the Justify settings(left, center, right)?

Loving the new side bars, but would also love to move my Applications shortcut to the left corner and cant seem to figure it out....
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] johnhrschuster:
Thank you

Thank you very much, quite an improvement over the launcher included with TNT.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
working towards reimplementing that feature..... I needed to redo some of the layout stuff so for the mean time I left it at center justified.... The swipe to make it stick to the right was actually a bug and it probably won't be implemented as a swipe feature but an options menu feature.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
If you have adb setup you can firstly run this command on your computer with the xoom plugged in via usb while it is bootlooping. "adb logcat *:W" this will spit out a bunch of text to the command line. after it's initial dump there should be enough info in that we don't necessarily want what it spits out slowly as it continues to bootloop so after the initial flood of text on the screen press <CRTL>Z to stop the logcat. Now highlight and copy and paste all that text to pastebin.com and send me a link to a new thread that you start in the xda forums with the link to pastebin in it under the xoom general section and we can continue discussion there as well as get feedback from other xoom users who may have had your same issue.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] chadness:
I found a weird minor bug - if the App Drawer style is set to Vertical plain, whenever I select something in the drawer, it highlights everything. When you remove your finger, most of the icons lose their highlighting, aside from the one you selected. Also, whenever you are scrolling, a half dozen or so of the icons get highlighted.

That being said, I prefer the horizontal, so it won't bug me, but I thought you should know.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jl92880:

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ellessidil:
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply.

Gotta say though, it was one of the more pleasant and feature-rich bugs I have seen in awhile. :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
This is actually a problem with the theme.... have had a few do it.... let me guess "Honeycomb" theme... as it is the first one I noticed that issue on.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
Actually now that I think about this it only pertains to when the dock is not full so I may actually be able to implement this for real via a hard flick jesture. When the dock is full then justification doesn't matter and can revert to the page left/right feature.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] chadness:
You're good! That's exactly right. Good to know!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] S2W:
Way to go gojimi on this launcher... I really im liking it.

One question and it may sound trivial, and not pushing it since I know you must be busy with request & stuff... but is it possible to have an option in settings for the reflections on the (side docks only) to be either off or under the icon.

Thanks for your hard work.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
Already done... you will be able to do this in the next version. Each dock (left,right and bottom) will have independent controls.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
GoJimi is 'Da Man' :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] devlop:
I have a quick suggestion. Is it possible to swipe up and down to access other screens rather than just jeft and right? I've always thought it would be nice if you could swipe all 4 directions from the home screen.

New User - Very Impressed

I'm one of the roughly 10k people who bought a gtab a couple weeks ago off woot.com and I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with the community, and your work in particular. I'm running Vegan 5.1.1 and now this launcher, it's a very effective combo.

I did have issues with a couple of my input methods after switching to this launcher. The keyboards would just show up as blank areas which would lock open after I tried to open them a few times. I was coming from LauncherPro so IDK if that had anything to do with it but a quick "clear data" on each did the trick.

Perhaps the wrong place to ask, but does anyone know if I can make "custom shortcut"s for the |Back << | Play/Pause >|| | Next >> | and Mute <X functions to add to the newly enlarged dock area? (Being a newb) I figured it'd be a simple matter of finding the command and linking it to a shortcut, but it's baffled me so far. ATM I have a custom widget on each workspace to do this, and probably eating alot of resources for no real reason.

Kudos on the launcher and thanks in advance for any input^^
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] hamzer11:
I need some help. I messed up the default keyboard and its a big and ugly white keyboard now. How can I get the original one back?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Try this:

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.cwfk.ig88.mediakeys&feature=search_result
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] stilgar27:
Sounds like you might have accidentally selected NI keyboard. Quickest way to get back is hit the search button, and press in the search field like you were going to type but hold it for a second or two. When you release an option should come up that says "input method" and from there you should be able to re-select android keyboard (or whatever you were using before).

If the android keyboard got corrupted instead somehow you can clear it's data through settings > applications and hopefully that will help.

Hey guys,

I wanted to know if there is a app that will let me stream movie files from my network nas to my gtablet. I have alot of standard avi's and mkv files and wanted to watch over my network at home. Looking for something like xbmc. When I try with es explorer it starts to dl the file. Any info would be great. Thanks
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kirov70:
I've been experimenting with Pogoplug beta and Opera Unite, with relative success, both products need a lot of work.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] pearlyking:
There are several on the Market that are based on you having Videolan (VLC) on your server, for example VLC direct, VLC S&C Free and VLC RS9 fee based). There is also QLoud Video which has it's own host component installe on your server. I haven't been completely successful with any of them yet but I am still experimenting.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Gemni69:
Hey Pearlyking,

Im looking for something that i dont need installed on my server. Im not really using a computer to host the files. Im using a synology NAS to host the files. I have a bunch of media players around the house that just stream the media from the nas and trying to get the same effect on the gtablet. The Nas has its on firmware and im just using it as a samba. Hope that makes sense.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] P00r:
you can use a cifs mount and a few regular player will work since the network folder

will appear as local in /mnt/cifs/some smb share

qqplayer, aplayer, rockplayer, vital player
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Gemni69:
Can you povide me some info on how to do cifs mount?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] 1freedude:
I use yxplayer. My server is HFS. Very simple. Instead of clicking the link, I copy the link to "add a stream." Works with avis, jittery with HD.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ScobaGeek:
You'll have to DL CifsManager or some such app - and it needs root, so you'll need to be able to grant it root.

Then you run the app and mount the drive.

I have done this for my music; it loses a little bit (the music player won't grab the info on the files, etc) but it plays...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rob_z11:
You will also need root, but also custom kernel from either pershoot or clemsyn which has all those available module in the kernel.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Roxxas049:
I don't know about MKV format but if you just want to stream video files from your computer then Gmote works very well, it says it won't work with AVI files but I've never had a problem with them.

Just have to download it to your computer and have it running when you use it on the tablet.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Gemni69:
Thanks for the info guys. Will try it out when i get a chance.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] pimpmaneaton:
I use upnplay to stream video files off my wifi router with a harddrive plugged into it. I accesses the files very easily and then once selected file opens with rockplayer and plays just fine. Best solution I have found.

Sent from my HTC Vision sportin CM7 RC4. SMOKIN!!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] pimpmaneaton:
I would say if you are new to a cifs module to go with clemsyn kernel cause cifs and all needed modules are pre built in. Pershoots kernel you will have to follow instructions on website on intalling cifs and utf8 modules and then chmod them. I personally like pershoots cause seems much snappier to me. But you decide.

I simply just use playon it works like a charm on my droid x and on the gtablet out of the box.

I can't get playon to stream to my gtab? What player are you using on your gtab? I can browse all the channels on the playon server, but my tablet won't play them. I am on Caulkulin w/Clemsysn kernal.

Also make sure you have usb debugging enabled if its already enabled try disabling it

Hey everyone,

looking for a great screen protector that helps with the glare issue and viewing angles. I'm not expecting wonders but anything to help. Hate the fact I see reflection on screen sometimes. Any info would be great. Thanks
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
How about checking the Skinomi thread in this very first page of this section ? ;)
[G Tablet Accessories] dj_justice:
I just orderded some screen protectors from ebay hong kong. 11.99 for 3. ill let you know how they work.
[G Tablet Accessories] Traderny:
Good Screen Protector

Ordered one from Amazon made by Aurum(do a search). It came quickly and I am very happy with it, wished I waited a few days, they have a deal going on with it.

It says its made from Japanese PET, in my experience it is better than those "military" strength ones like Zagg etc(bad evo 4g experience). This one has a dry application and protected on both top and bottom by covers (a protector for the protector). Ships from the US.
[G Tablet Accessories] chadness:
I have the Skinomi. I'm happy with it, but it does not appear to help with glare or screen angles (though, honestly, I only used it for a few minutes before installing the protector).
[G Tablet Accessories] miatawnt2b:
which ones did you get?

-J
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
Go with the Skinomi one. It's cheap (relatively if you consider lifetime free replacement) and if you don't botch the installation it looks fantastic. And... you don't have to wait three weeks for something to come from China.

Don't get me wrong, I buy stuff from China sometimes but only when I can't get it here or if it's a lot more money to get it from here.
[G Tablet Accessories] Gemni69:
Anyone have recommendations for screen protectors? Looking for helping with anti glare and no finger prints on it. Any info would be great. Thank for all the feedback so far.
[G Tablet Accessories] emersonlp:
I just ordered one of the Aurums too. I have a "matte" type screen protector on my iphone and I really like it so I hope the aurum one is similar. I will update once it arrives.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
Do you mean this one ? according to the user image its not custom made (no holes for the camer/sensors) not sure if it would even cover the bezel + the screen.
[G Tablet Accessories] Traderny:
The Skinomi one requires a WET application, that then has to dry, do you really want to spray some liquid on your new g-tab? I tried this on my Evo installation was a pain but then my fingers got stuck scrolling, so I learned my lesson and stick to the PET material which has a silicone coating for smooth movement
[G Tablet Accessories] Traderny:
Aurum Screen Protector

You are right, I have the Aurum one from Amazon on my G-tablet, and there are no holes, but I do not see a difference in camera performance. The protector covers bezel to bezel. I've used the camera with and without the protector, all I know is that it is as grainy before as it was after the Aurum screen protector. I do not use the camera(I really do not need anyone getting scared looking at me) so it's fine by me, it the smoothness of movement that matters.
[G Tablet Accessories] completetech:
just my $0.02, but why not use the one by Zagg....?..

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
[G Tablet Accessories] OftheSea:
Thanks for the info, Traderny. Would you say that the Aurum screen protector allows for smoother gliding movements than the unprotected GTab screen? I'm hoping to find something that provides a nice swipe feel. Too often my fingers would "stick" to the naked screen or (less so, but still) the Skinomi protector.
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
My .2 cents

Wet application screen protectors have been around for a while and it has been shown to not be an issue if you follow the directions on installation. There are thousands of people that have used wet installation screen protectors here in the gTab forums that have reported no residual issues with the gTab during/after application.

Also, you don't spray liquid on the gTab, rather you're supposed to spray the liquid on both sides of the screen protector before application and dab up the excess liquid as you work it to the edges with the provided plastic card.

I've used both PET and this style of screen protectors on devices before and I prefer this over the PET as I have found the PET style protectors to be too shiny for my tastes.

Among the most helpful reviews for the PET protector on Amazon there are these comments:

1.) Good product, but a pain to put on. Just the slightest piece of dust will cause an air bubble.

2.) According to the packaging, this item is "Finger print free" and "Bubble free application". I experienced both. I would NEVER purchase this product again or recommend it.

Just goes to show you that people will find something to complain about no matter what the product is.
