I tried it on my Galaxy Tab but it's only landscape.

It's not working properly on my device, but it looks great on the pictures.
[Android Apps and Games] charm1718:
Tried this on a Nook Color running CM7 stable. Like others have stated, it's only working in landscape view & dock bar is hidden by widgets panel.

In landscape view the widgets panel is too far to the right. Should be moved closer to the home panel. I hope the dock bar is customizable because many tablets do not need a phone & contacts icon.

Hitting the soft key back button returned the Nook back to my other Homescreen launcher (TVL)

Portrait is mode is needed badly.

Does this allow multiple screens with scrolling wallpaper? I couldnt check i on my Nook. Sliding to the right brought up the dockbar
[Android Apps and Games] cordell507:
it seams very hard and difficult to use but i think this would be great on tablets
[Android Apps and Games] jdep1:
tested on hd2 android 2.2.3 works good but it feels a little like MeeGo but less developed. Not so 3d I would not use it as a replacement launcher
[Android Apps and Games] moosc:
does this have scrobbale dock icons like lpp also does it have contact and bookmarks?
[Android Apps and Games] dragonithe:
Tested it on my Desire, and it really has a interesting concept.

However it still has some stuff that could use optimizes.

Like it scrolls way to fast trough the windows, and maybe add a option that when you click on a icon on your home panel, it doesn't close the other panels that you had opened.

Also maybe a way to add more than one widget page.

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] iain2510:
Great idea, but better use of screen real estate would be appreciated. To get more than one widget panel just add more widgets! It automatically creates a new widget panel. Suggestion - allow better sizing, placing, and moving of widgets. Thanks for a great launcher though.

[Android Apps and Games] LvDisturbed1:
Tried installing on HD2 running pongsters GBX v11.

Default dpi for this build is 167 I believe, and the launcher doesn't scale properly. Also like others have stated, it is stuck in landscape mode and seems like it's an issue with ldpi devices (even if forced). I love the concept however, and look forward to updates. I am also gonna edit my build.prop back to default dpi (240?) to see if it confirms my suspicions.
[Android Apps and Games] trashbytes:
This is how it looks like on ldpi screens (240x320):
[Android Apps and Games] LvDisturbed1:
Setting lcd density to 240 solves display issues. Only problem now is now the launcher wants to stick in portrait mode and won't go to landscape, even with an app that forces landscape orientation. Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] Babydollll:
I am using a Nexus S, stock, not rooted, on 2.3.1 . I enjoyed immensely how it "stacks" the view and the options of the "main card". However, as of now it is a little laggy. I am looking into getting a tablet and can't wait to try it on a tablet. It would be perfectly suited for the larger screen. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] cogden2:
Reading about this it sounded amazing, to be honest its glitchy difficults slow and full of forced closes potential but well well off 1* is generous

[Android Apps and Games] Playstation4:
I think it is a great concept seeing that alot of launchers for Android are very similar so far. Someone already said this, but this almost looks like the card view in WebOS. I tried it on my Evo and it was smooth as butter with not one crash. The transition between the windows was excellent as well. I would, in my view, try to make it's appearance almost like a Sense 3.0 rather than a WebOS, meaning a carousel like launcher. All-in-all great work,as usual!
[Android Apps and Games] dEris:
MDPI support please. I would love to use this.
[Android Apps and Games] borhaj:
interesting concept but I can't see myself using it as a daily launcher. If you use the same concept and implement it in an launcher that actually has home screen and ... instead of folder. and then make the folders in such luancher behave this way it would be rally nice. Nice work so far. can't wait to see the final product.

One of the permissions for 'Services that cost you money' is to allow the app to 'directly call phone numbers'.

I might have missed something but why is this required?

Same issue...plus the web browser opens incredibly small over the widgets panel and theres no scrolling left or right on the site. If this supports more then 1 homescreen and the browser would load right on the nook, this would be my new home replacement on that over ADW EX
[Android Apps and Games] Shining_knight:
Yes, multiple homescreen support would be awesome.

@OP: Excellent effort.:)
[Android Apps and Games] everest.deth:
I really like the idea guys, it still need a couple of tweaks though :)

1. From the widget panel (this includes widgets and open applications) you can only travel to panels of the same kind (i.e switching back and forth between two open pixtures and the widget panel works; switching between home and the open pixtures cannot be done). To switch to different types you must select the panel you want by tapping.

2. The Home options are not that great, i know they can be rearranged or edited but i just dont like the overall feel of it. Maybe you should add an option to hide the home panel? My wallpaper needs to be seen.

3. The app drawer seems quite laggy and any application launched from it will go full screen; not to a panel as expected. For example, launch the browser from the dock and it will go straight to a panel, launch it from the app drawer and it will go full screen.

4. It would be great to add gestures such as double tap on a panel's header to go full screen and then pressing home can take you back to all your opened panels.

5. If you are to implement "running" as a shortcut then it'd be nice to have the option to close any of the open applications (i.e making it sort of a task manager).

6. It'd be great to see transparent panels and/or color tweaking.

7. At least on my MT4G it will not switch to landscape :(

Once again, great job. Love the transition between panels and im sure u guys will have an awesome final product :)

Galaxy Tab - euro stock no go

Hey, tried it on my galaxy tab:

1. stuck on landscape

2. touch is not responsive, can't do anything really

3. dock bar appear only sometimes
[Android Apps and Games] BlackICE:
I tried it on my Galaxy Tab. It starts only in landscape mode and does not allow to go to portrait mode. Also I see the Home area on the left and the Widgets area on the right. The widgets area is sticked to right edge of the screen and it seems that it is almost out of the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] grojas:
Hi guys,

Excellent work and interesting too because take advantage of OpenGL GPU.

I'm testing on my Motorola Milestone with CM7 RC4 and works fine. Lag sometime but I think is for it installed in /data/app, not in /system/app (I use app2ext script, my apps goes to ext2 partition in microSD card).

I'll move to /system/app and update this post with new results. However, is an excellent work!!. Keep walking!.

Cheers!!

wow 3d home screen i like ;)
[Android Apps and Games] zwepter:
laggy

Just downloaded and tried it. only sat with it 3 min before i gave up using it.

It's laggy on my LG optimus 2x and the widget screen is defently not finished :P

Otherwise, awesome idea! maybe instead of making it go from the side to side make it a box or make diffrent options available. i wasent able to find the settings menu on the program. but i will continiue to use it the next cauble of days.

htc wildfire - QVGA support

hey this looks like an awesome app and a good idea, but I only have one request, once I installed it the graphics were HUGE on my poor QVGA display... could you please add support to it thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] khatta:
Cool Concept. Different UI

I tested it on Notionink Adam tablet and it runs well. There is a little learning curve but then thats with every new product, let alone beta.

A few observations.

- Clean UI

- Allow extra iconpacks to be installed

- The X to close is tiny for the tablet, would be 'tinnier' for phones

- 3D Animation looks good, widget 3D curtain effect (see below) will be cool

- Try same alternate color for odd and even open windows

Looking forward to test the next release !

I posted a video with test run of Clayton UI here

Here is the curtain effect concept

[Android Apps and Games] jeffreychan:
It's pretty complicated and took me a while to figure it out. Nice idea of putting mult-screen bar on the top, but it loads a bit too slow. There's also an issue with the Facebook issue. Not only that it is slightly cut at the top & bottom, it looks real ugly. Moreover the browser shortcut is so slow that I thought it doesn't function. Great with the contacts shortcut though. Real nice there. I'll now stag on ADW EX or stock launcher I guess. You might also wanna work on a 3D apps drawer. =]
[Android Apps and Games] jeffreychan:
I meant, the Facebook widget
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
This is really useful feedback. I have logged bugs and we will work on a fix for these issues for our next beta release.
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Thanks this really helps us diagnose the bug. I have reported your investigation to our dev team and will log a bug. The screen shots really help so anyone who notices screen anomalies, a screen shot would be really helpful for us to diagnose the problem.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Claystone let's you view content inside the home screen using panels. So you can view a web page, play video, view RSS feeds, lookup contacts etc. while browsing your device.
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
The screen shot really helped. Thanks. We remain focused on the smart phone devices at the moment, because there are so many more smart phones out there. The tablet experience is really important to us and the larger screen size gives Claystone a lot more UI possibilities so stay tuned for more tablet enhancements in future releases. I use Claystone on my Galaxy Tab.
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Claystone has favorites that you can add for contacts, web pages, RSS Feeds, Apps, and documents on your device. The "Favorites" folder stores them and you can also add shortcuts to custom folders you add to Claystone.

The hold and press gesture shows contextual menus that can be used to quickly create shortcuts and favorites.
[Android Apps and Games] birdpwr:
I tried to dowload to my rooted EVO, and it will not download. It says that the content is not supported on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] charm1718:
Please let 1 of the tablet enhancements be customizable dockbar.

On your galaxy tab, are you able to switch between portrait & landscape?

In future updates, will local video be playable on the home screen?

I might be wrong with this assumption but it looks like you have taken a few design cues from WebOs. Have you looked at Tat home 3D launcher concept's -

www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOGmnnGpoqg&feature=related

They have a couple of good concepts that you might be able to incorporate into Claystone

I look forward to beta 3 to try on my Nook Color.
[Android Apps and Games] Lo N Slo:
I think these comments are so relevant I should repeat them as my own as well.

Again, amazing work Claystone team. This concept is amazing but the launcher itself is still a bit hard to use. I believe most issues I have been facing have already been reported. Other than the delayed speeds, I am having an issue with the video playback. If I start a video and move away from that panel, and later go back to the video, it starts over. Also have been getting a few force closes when I try to open the app drawer FROM THE HOME panel. The app drawer links from the bottom dock is working fine.

Keep up the amazing work, I am glad to be a witness to the completion of this aamzing launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] birdpwr:
Nevermind. I managed to get it installed. Testing on my EVO now...
[Android Apps and Games] megabyte2365:
I like this on my GTab with Vegan RC1. Like others have said -will not rotate, but that's how i use it. The launch bar is hard to get out and you have to be quick to tap anything.

If you could make an Advent Vega 3D launcher that is customisable, I would pay you what ever you asked......I love that one.

Overall, thumbs up at a good approach and I have not dug deep yet, but I will soon...
[Android Apps and Games] megabyte2365:
Ok, I must be retarded. I cannot move or resize the two boxes on screen (home and widgets) I do not have a picture or video bar across the top and I cannot add anything (widgets or shortcuts) in the unoccupied space on the wallpaper.

Launcher bar does nothing and occassionaly pops out briefly on a swipe.

Single home page, at least I cannot swipe to another home page

Does not find videos on sd card (sd2)

I tried to find some instructions on website, but that just lists key selling points.

I know I have the wrong targeted device, but these are common actions that even a doofus like me should be able to figure out.
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Great feedback.

We are putting together a getting started video to run through the UI. Beta 3 is also on the way with more stability and bug fixes.

Currently the panes are not resizable and are determined by the overall screen dimensions of the device like many home screen replacements.

The inaccessible video on your SD Card- can you browse to the video using the "File Browser" on the home pane? Let me know if that works and I can log a bug to track the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] megabyte2365:
I do like this luncher and I see great potential. I am one of those that like the flashy wow factor.

Your file explorer sees only the local drive only and not my sd card(sd2). All the others I have used saw all containers and scanned them.

I also have stability issues with choosing youtube and ttempting to watch through your shortucts. I did not have problems using other launchers with the youtube app. I also cannot open your youtube viewer app to a larger screen (i'm sure by design). Fullscreen would be nice.

I am not bashing, I like this and see a promising future for all.
[Android Apps and Games] phroenix:
240x320 not supported, let me know when it is ill test it out for you.

dock mostly inaccessible but phone works. most icons on home screen resulted in force close, got recent apps to work once but theres no point me testing further. As most people mentioned speed and stability should be priority number one, then features can be added when this is sorted.

But then again this probably isnt aimed at my device so good luck with the development.

edit: think i figured out the concept and im positive it will never make it to such a small screen because it just wouldnt work lol

but great idea still, opening apps in ''windows'' (for want of a better expression) so you can flick through them as you wish...i really like the idea of being able to do other things while videos are playing/loading in youtube etc.

Claystone Beta 3 Posted

Claystone Beta 3 was posted in a new thread. You can get the latest beta version here:

[Android Apps and Games] pendevous:
I may sound monotonous to what the other people already pointed out, but this thing works much, much better on a tablet. On my Galaxy Tab, this is really intuitive, and the ability to hide the dock bar in favor of having the app drawer in the widget is cool. However, I would like to see this work well on normal smartphones too.

Just my two cents. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
The stacks can be scrolled using a left-right finger swipe with panes that fly in and out using OpenGL. Also, Claystone usesOpenGL for rendering the UI.
[Android Apps and Games] ImmortalDonkeyKong:
Works with my phone, thanks. I will use this. Only bad thing is the app drawer laggs while displaying all my apps.

We have made a lot of performance tweaks to improve the performance and perceived performance.

The UI has been significantly updated based on all the feedback we have received.

The next beta release will be available in Android Market.
[Android Apps and Games] simonthor:
Using beta 3 :) Very fast on my desire running gingerbread 2.3.3

Can't wait for next update (Especially the widget update ;) )
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
We have been spending significant time on improving the overall smart phone experience given the smaller screen and unique issues of the form factor. Performance and UI have both been improved significantly.

Our next betas are going to be available in Android Market.
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Widgets will work exactly like other Home Screen Replacements in our next Android Market Beta. Shortcuts, Apps, Folders, Widgets, etc. will all be available in one integrated panel. Multiple panels will be available.

We listened to the feedback loud and clear and we agreed-- we needed our Widgets to work like Android users expect they will work.

Let's face it, Widgets are one of the most important innovations in the Android UI and are a real selling feature of Android so we wanted to make sure we got Widgets right.

i have tried this on htc hero running cm7.0.0.2 GB and it looks to big for the screen it wont swipe left or right. the dialer and messenger are the only ones that open. i can long press the dock bar and add apps. but not the screens. you can see that i added drocop is smaller than the rest. one of the earlier builds fit the screen better. im going to see if i still have it.here is what it looks like.

Scanning the online news groups this seems to be a common error reported for APKs distributed outside Android Market for the HTC EVO.

[Android Apps and Games] BIGWORM:
If I may add a suggestion to upcoming releases: The ability to move inserted applications within the toolbar on the bottom. I have the apps button to the far left, unfortunately, with phone and handcent icons sitting to the right of it. Sort of messes with the feng shui of the layout, ya know? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
If you touch and hold at a give place in the LaunchBar and use the "Insert item" menu item, the new item will appear in the place when you touched to insert.

We will definitely be adding move to a future release.
