Gojimi, just wanted to say you're doing some great work on the G-Tablet. I'm running Vegan GingerEdition, with Clymsyn's Gingerbread kernel, right now and will be trying your new launcher in just a little bit. Between you and all the other great devs, this device is a joy to use. :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] katlimaal:
Great Launcher..very neat, clean and fast.

Thanks a lot !!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] simonta:
Loving it - plus a tiny bug?

Thanks Gojimi. Really good, has addressed quite a few niggles I had with ADW.

FYI, occasionally, I click an app in the drawer, the app doesn't start, the horizontal bar closes and I get the vertical bar with the 3 default shortcuts. Only way I've found to get back to where I was is to restart VTL. No big thing and it might just be my tab as no-one else has reported it.

Anyway, thanks again..
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] danr238:
Loving this on my nook color. I was hoping ADW would implement this in the future but you made it happen now. My only quam (sp?) Is I can't get the launcher to center on the screen if its by itself. Maybe I'm just a moron and can't figure it out. Thanks for the hard work. Its greatly appreciated!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
I think I know the issue here.... it's not your tab.... at least not totally. I will try to patch it up after the weekend.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Logseman:
I have installed the ADW Custom Honeycomb Theme. However, how do I go about assigning one of the icons to a direct link? When I select "VTL-Theme Icon Packs it outputs that "No application can do this action".
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mark_v:
I used ADW ex, i now use this. Great great work. A few things.

1. I would like the option to remove the dock from the application drawer.

2. Under UI settings you have dockbar reflection. Whether thats on or of... nothing changes. (or i'm missing something ;) )

3. Oxygen has a list of toggle options under the status bar (status bar power widget). It would ROCK if that was available on ADW in general en VLT especially. It now takes up a entire row from my NI Adam on the frontpage.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
Edit..double post
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] devlop:
I installed the first version and had it running. I then installed this latest and can't open it. After I install, the options open and done appear, but only done is selectable. It doesn't show up in my apps drawer either. I'm running Calkulin's Tom. Anybody else have this problem?

Edit:

Ok, brain fart. I cleared Launcher Pro defaults and now I can select VTL Launcher.

Thanks for the great work.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
If

Check the menu and make sure you are on v. Beta 1.3 or higher. The themes were not fully supported on earlier versions. If not redownload from original post and install. I am updating fairly frequently at the moment.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Mikeg1969:
Awesome launcher!! I'm using it as my daily driver now.:D
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gogorman:
The changes are GREAT!

Just one question - how do I delete a theme that i have added?

I can'f for the life of me see the option to delete the theme.

Thanks.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
If you are just wanted to revert to the default theme overall in the theme menu select the ADW Default theme.

If you want to fully uninstall a Theme they are installed just like apps are from the market and are uninstalled in the same manner. Either from the marketplace my apps etc. or from the system menu/Applications/Manage Applications then find the theme and click it and hit the uninstall button.

Hope that helps!

-Enjoy
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gogorman:
Thanks!

That's great.

The only slight bug bear I have with it now is that when I am in the App Drawer and swiping to change screens to show the rest of my apps, a lot of the time I end up dragging one of the app icons onto the desktop to create a shortcut which is a little annoying. No biggie. Just wanted to share.

Aside from that, it is a GREAT launcher.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
I did the same thing when I tried ADW. It just takes a little practice and you will develop the technique. Use your fingertip rather than the flat part.

I absolutely love this launcher so far. Uses all the ADW themes and looks great. Playing with different sized widgets to fill screen and loading up the dockbar with shortcuts now. :D

Doesn't really feel like a beta to me. Thanks gojimi!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
Yeah I have a bad habit of under-labeling my versions. Just like the Experimental version of VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition is more like a BETA.... but oh well. Glad you like it. Lots of feature ideas coming to mind.

One thing I will say is I believe the Horizontal Paginated Drawer that you guys are having issues with, and is default, is coming out for now.... TOOO Laggy. It will be replaced with the Vertical Plane much smoother.... you can change it in the Settings/Drawer Settings/App Drawer Style.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Nice launcher, found it just now.

Appreciate the approach to make something for the tablets. Up to now I used ZEAM, which was the only free launcher that was good for me. Didn't like ADW or ADW EX.

VTL is now my standard launcher on my Viewsonic Viewpad 10s.

Any problems if I write a short review on my blog about your launcher?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
No Problems at all! Glad you like it! Here is a soon to be implemented feature list for you if you want to share it as well:

1. Toggle the Bottom Dock on/off in Settings

2. New 2nd Dock on the right side of the screen Also Toggle-able in the Settings

3. New 3rd Dock! on the left side of the screen Also Toggle-able in the Settings

4. At some point adding the option to change the number of icons visible in each dock at any one time to help facilitate varying screen dimensions

Then from there I am trying to listen to the community....

Post a link in here when you are done.... I want to here the good and bad.... it's the only way to improve.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Yes, that was one thing I had noticed. I am running ADW EX & VTL side by side and just bouncing between them and looking at differences, etc.

I use the Horiz Paginated in ADW EX and it is very smooth. In VTL it's choppy & slow... Think Anderweb has optimized the code better in the EX version?

One other small suggestion: On the dock bar, can/should you set the code to 'Center' the icons rather aligning to one side?

One thing I noticed (and it may be intentional) If I have less than a 'full' dock bar, I can 'swipe' it from left to right and it sticks to either side.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] remlap:
I've said how much I liked this launcher before but will do again.

I'm really happy now decided to do away with the Honeycomb theme for ADW and just use the default and manually change the icons.

Anyone suggest a better Wifi Icon?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
Just installed on the vega and it is showing great promise, there is however one "feature" I feel is missing.

Can you make the dock bar scrollable (as in fresh page on a swipe) so I can have say normal apps on one part, games on another etc (something that launcher pro can do, not sure about adw)

This would make it perfect for me to have clutter free windows as I can organise docks by type for the bottom.

Edit: reading a few posts above you may have decided to add this already....
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gogorman:
I LOVE the Honeycomb look of your status bar.

Which ROM are you running? And which theme?

I am running VEGAn 5. Am I able to make mine look like that?

Looks GREAT!

p.s What is the sneaky little pull tag arrow at the left of your screen???
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gogorman:
I would agree with both points made above. The horizontal app drawer is rather laggy.

I would also love for the dock (or for the to be an option) to be centered as opposed to being on the left or right. When you have a full dock it looks great, but with less icons it just doesn't quite look right stuck to the left or right side.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] remlap:
I am running this on my Advent Vega.

Theme is the stock VTL Launcher with Honeycomb Icons, Clock and Wallpaper.

Left of the screen is Button Saviour
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gogorman:
Is that possible on the G-Tablet running VEGAn 5?

I know Button Savior is, but the Honeycomb Status Bar replacement???

Thanks
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] tgatlinjr:
Very Good Launcher

Very new to this site - GREAT LAUNCHER! The dock at the bottom in landscape mode is great.

Keep up the good work!!!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sixvoltsystem:
Thank you so much. If I could show you a small token of my appreciation, say like name my next child I would do so, but my wife wouldn't like me very much. Thank you it works fantastic! Keep up the good work.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
how do I change the actual icons? Like the wifi icon, home icon etc? I applied new themes but it didnt affect the icons?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ramerco:
Enough of this launcher business. Get working on ginger edition beta 1.

J/k! Amazing work!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Danidemi:
Maybe a funny question where do i put this file to get the launcher working:

sys> framework?

do i need to unpack the file there?

love it and want to use it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] devlop:
A quick note, when I change the app drawer background color, my wallpaper shows. It doesn't bother me, but it might annoys others.

Great work, I'm really digging this.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] elpaso420:
I have the same question kinda. I dl the file as a zip, but when I unzipped it I only saw a couple other folders/files not an actual apk as the file name insists. so my question technically is, is this an apk? or when can I get the apk? thank you
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
this is an apk, if for some strange reason you have downloaded it as a .zip then rename it to .apk
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Danidemi:
I feel a thank you coming up.....

Thank you.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nrage23:
Any word on the toggles? I have the status bar power widgets on my EVO and would love to have the same on my Gtab.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] karlkarloff:
First let me say I really like your launcher! The bottom dock is awesome. Looks way cleaner than my Zeam homescreen ever did. I did have a problem though...somehow this morning when i went to wake up my tablet so I could check the weather, somehow I swiped the screen and the bottom dock went away and the standard android phone dock bar appeared on the right side of my screen. Didn't really have enough time to see if there was a way to reset it this morning, will be seeing if I can figure it out tonight when I get home. If you know how to reset it, any help would be appreciated. Keep up the good work!!

P.S.--Running Roebeets TTx ROM
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] remlap:
Restart the launcher mate, it's happened to me too :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
i think this may have been asked, but are there any themes that make the bottom row transparent? I have the HC theme from the market but the bottom transparent would be AWESOME
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] karlkarloff:
Thanks, don't know why that didn't occur to me, but at any rate, fixed it right up!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
It's a setting in VTL under UI Settings. Turn Dockbar Bacground on/off.

I like it on. But it looks pretty spiffy with reflections on and background off too! :D
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
thanks boss!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
Can anyone post some nice honeycomb themed wallpapers for this?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] elpaso420:
Thank you but It didn't really answer my question. The link to dl the file on the 1st page is only a zip file. I renamed the launcher.zip that I dled to launcher.apk and that didn't work. So again my question do I have to unzip the file to find the launcher apk?? Or can anyone else chime in?? Is there something im not seeing??
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
I had the same problem, either your not changing the filename, like instead your naming it launcher.apk.zip

Try saving it originally as .apk - sometimes windows is difficult about changing extensions
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
I did it earlier with IE and it was a .zip, just did with Firefox and its a .apk

here..
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drum747:
Very Nice! Thanks Droidham for the Apk! This launcher is very cool, nice work Gojimi!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
The Link in the original post is an apk. Windows sometimes likes to change the extension to zip. If you downloaded through windows you may need to verify or change the extension back to apk. Or you could download from the original post straight to your tablet through the tablet browser and install it there. Either way be sure to check the first post for updates when they come out. I try to change the title when I do update so everyone knows it has been updated.

-Enjoy
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] valleyman:
Ehi good work!

May i suggest something? I am using it from an AC100 Toshiba. This device (super cool and good) has a keyboard. I know u have tablets in mind, and the bottom dock in landscape is great, but if u could make possible to use keys as well, to circle app drawer and dock, that'd be great! i can circle app drawer with keyboard, but it has no focus unless i click some app first (not convenient) :D

Love the large wallpaper too!

Thanks anyway!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] elpaso420:
thank you sir! Greatly appreciated. And thank you GOJIMI! lol I follow you one twitter now so I definetly be looking out for the rest of your great stuff! thank you again
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sjmoreno:
This looks pretty sweet gojimi. Thanks for continually giving us great stuff. Are you going to roll this in as a default launcher in your Ginger Edition?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] SevernNavy:
Freezing statusbar?

Gojimi,

Beautiful launcher..thanks. Really make a big difference in looks and usage.

I'm having one problem with it: very often when moving or adding something near the top I will get a thin empty msg bar pointing usually to the top reft corner on the status bar and then the page will lock where you can't add anything nor will it read buttons. Reboot is only solution I've found. This hqs also happened with the battery stayus msg freezinf on screen.

One question also: it seems like all the programs I had loaded won't run, FC, and I have to uninstall and install fresh after loading VTL. Anyone else having this problem? I tried thr "fix permissions" someone suggested and it resulted in FC everything and had to go to nvflash to clear and relad from scratch. Running in TNTLite 4.4.

SevernNavy
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] devlop:
I'm having this problem too. It would happen when I swiped the status bar away and then bring it back. A reboot was the only way to correct it. I'm running Calkulin's Tom. I've turned the swipe feature off and haven't had the problem since.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] tenet420:
VTL force close after applying theme...

Hello,

Vegan Ginger Edition

VTL as default home launcher

I went into VTL settings and followed the link to themes in the market. Applied the honeycomb theme and VTL force closed and went into a force close loop. Is there anyway to set the default home to something different like ADW from adb or any other commmand line method or through text editing a file? Thanks, sorry if this has been asked but did't find anything in the search.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] frjj:
app drawer in horizontal mode is not usable. vertical mode works fine. great launcher, lovin' it
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
You can remove the launcher from an adb shell by doing the following:

Go to shell (from cmd->adb shell or directly through a terminal)

#

#su

#cd data

#cd app

#ls

you are looking for a file called org.gojimi.launcher (something) typically it is as written below. Do a rm on the filename like below.

#rm org.gojimi.launcher-1.apk

Then ls to visually make sure it is gone

#ls

#exit

#exit
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I had this happen too with the same theme. It did that to me on both ADW EX & VTL.

The way I got to another launcher is to use voice search (long press the search key) and spoke 'Settings'. That took me into the settings menu, where I went into manage applications, found ADW EX and 'Cleared defaults'. I could then hit the home key and pick another launcher.

I had tried this theme on ADW EX (locked up, did the above and went into VTL). I applied the theme to VTL and it did the same thing. Used the process one more time to select the standard ADW (which was loaded as default on Vegan Ginger).

At that time, I wised up and uninstalled the theme.

Then went back to VTL :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] tenet420:
+1 Gojimi

Worked perfect. That is awesome. Thanks for everything you do.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] slsmag:
What a great launcher.

Original post updated with version 1.4.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drum747:
Great job Gojimi!! I have been running it since last night and it runs and looks great! I have some scrollable Widgets but can't seem to find the setting. Am I blind or is it not scrollable widget capable? Thanks for the hard work!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] 10roller:
Thanx for your work! Much appreciated!

One thing I would like to see implemented would be the ability to edit folders (edit icon) on the home screens like app shortcut. With no labels all folders look the same. Thanx again
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ntnunk:
Finally got my G-Tab today and got it set up with Vegan and the VTL.Launcher. Absolutely great!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
Scrollable widget support is built in. No settings needed. Tested with Agenda Widget.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
For now if you drag and drop the icon to the desktop first you can longpress the icon and edit... from the edit screen you can change the icon by pressing the icon button. Then you can drag it back to the dock. Longpress edits directly on the dock may come in the future.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] hamzer11:
I love the look of this launcher but one question, I have a darkened frame around the screen that I don't see in the screenshots. Is that by design?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
That's the background for each dock. You can turn either side dock off under ui settings. Or if you want to just turn off the background you can do so in the same settings menu. Take a look at the last screenshot in the original post. It shows the side docks in use as well.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] enotar:
I love it.......

This is fantastic for my X5A-G

thank you so much for this,the best launcher arround
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] hamzer11:
Ok this is very embarrassing and I am sorry but how do I get to the UI settings? I should note that I have only had the tab a week.:o
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
Don't be. With all the varying design types when doing android apps it can easily get confusing.

While at the homescreen, press the menu key on your device... then press the more button on the menu that pops up. Another menu will pop up, press VTL.Launcher Settings. From there you will be taken to the launchers numerous settings including the UI Settings.

-Enjoy
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] hamzer11:
Thank you. I had just found it and came to edit my post.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] enotar:
In portrait left and right background cannot be unselected if I am right?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] remlap:
Thanks just installed 1.4 from first impressions seems more stable.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] tharien:
Any chance you are going to bake this into your upcoming vegan gingerbread beta?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] karlkarloff:
Just installed 1.4 and am liking the side docks a whole bunch. It seems a bit snappier overall too, but that could be my imagination. Thanks for a great launcher!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] auser79:
I installed the VTL, it's great so far, but I can not drag or move shortcuts, widgets or folder on the Desktop around, can not drag or move to the bottom bar, am i doing something wrong? is this normal by design?

this is my first android device gTab and I am still learning.

thanks.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drum747:
Not working with Pure Messenger. Maybe someone else can try? Their description says it works with adw so I figured,...

I just loaded on my wife's g tablet with Calkulin's rom and its Smokin! She loves it!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] 10roller:
Sorry I didn't specify more accurately but what t I mean is... when I long press home screen>>folders>>new folder and drop it on the desktop, it lacks the option to edit after long press.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cotangent05:
theres a bug :( i cant fix it.. when i use the swipe to hide the status bar theres a bubble in the right side floating or in the left side, then my gtablet stop working , icant open app and i cant open the settings, so i restart and restart..

i restarted my gtab 10 times now.. :(
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
sounds like you have inadvertently turned on the Lock Desktop option. Press Menu/More/Unlock Desktop. Hopefully you will be right as rain then.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
It is becoming apparent that the hide status bar option is not playing nicely with the STOCK rom or SOME Derivatives.

To Fix this while having the issue I believe someone was able to hold down the search button which activates voice search on most roms... then by saying "settings" he was able to access the settings page from there uninstall the VTL.Launcher this clears all defaults and gets you back to stock launcher... from there you can if you want reinstall the launcher and first thing after starting VTL go to it's settings/General Behavior/Swipe Up actions option and change it to anything but close statusbar. I will have to make some other setting default on new installs in the next version and add a warning for TNT users.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
I just tested pure messenger and it was working..... I selected the scrolling widget when adding the widget then ignored all their warnings about not seeing a compatible launcher. and it worked for me. What version of Pure Messenger? Mine is 2.1.7. Hopefully we can track this issue down.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] drum747:
Ok I will check it again. Thanks a lot! It will have to be tomorrow because I'm trying the battery stat fix right now :D Thanks for the support! Lovin this launcher!

Update: installed on my wife's g tablet and it works like a charm, sorry about that! Thanks!!!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gojimi:
No Problem at all! Enjoy!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] auser79:
I tried the Unlock desktop option as you mentioned, and i still have the same problem, also rebooted once, still same thing.

is there something else that i can try?

....thanks for your help.

Installed on my gTab: CWM, Vegan 1.0 b5.1.1, VTL 1.4
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cotangent05:
i'll try that.. thanks it is a cool launcher.. can't wait to have it in vegan gingerbread edition .. :D goodluck and more power!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mooja:
Feature request? The ability to change the size of items in the docks would be awesome, mine seem a tad too big. Other than that it's great!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Anon87:
Stupid question but how do I get the side docks to show after I hide them?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] slsmag:
Maybe it's just me - but I would sure like an option to allow the dock icons to show/hide labels (pretty much what the post above is requesting).

- michael
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] elpaso420:
probably a stupid question

how do I change Icons? long press as in launcher pro? actually just switched from launcher pro. only thing this launcher is missing is widgets! but other than that pure epicness! thanks again gojimi
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] hamzer11:
If I am correct, you can long press, press edit, and then click on the icon on the left to change it.
