Basically a very nice launcher because of the Docks, but a bit laggy depending on the amount of Items in the Dockbars. But a big problem is (don't know if other users have the same problem), that in case I reboot some Widgets are not properly rebuilt. In GO Launcher and ADW, this is no problem.

PS: Is it possible to integrate ADW Notifier into VTL?

Status bar is an OS thing. There has been work towards this in the CM camp.... though I don't know how much I am behind it as it is very Hacky.... we will have to wait and see... it's not top priority on my list as it causes issues when typing as then the status bar and all its buttons and clickable areas are right below the on screen keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] gpzjack:
coolio. Thanks so much. I'm loving the feel with the dock at the bottom. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Tmooey:
thanks so much! this literally made my day. Ever since i got this tab i was a bit nervous i wouldn't like the UI in comparison to honeycomb/xoom combo. I am officially in love with my gtab now.

Im just waiting for your Vegan-tab ginger edition beta :-)
[Android Apps and Games] the3dman:
Works great so far! Would like to be able to have less icons on the dock and have them centered on the screen though. Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] Pazzu510:
Wow, i didn't thought of this possibility and then BAM!!!

Gojimi, you did a great job with this bar, it is exactly what any tablet needs.

Recommendation: I do not know if it is even possible, but if there is a way to make programs in the dockbar show that they are already running and any way to "force close" them from the same dockbar, you, gojimi, would have changed the tablets functionality a lot!!!! Finally, tablets would be like net books more than they are cellphones(some even without cellphone capability like our beloved g tab); At least tablets without honeycomb would.....(Almost all the tablets out there are missing honeycomb).

Again, i dont know if it is possible, but this would be great stuff.

Great job Gojimik, loving it so far
[Android Apps and Games] pqrs:
pretty damn nice man! thanks again.:D

oops.. Answered my own question.
[Android Apps and Games] yahooguy:
sweet jesus that is awesome...
[Android Apps and Games] 10roller:
Awesome launcher! thanx a bunch!

How about dock options that allow you to create a dock near the edges. Vertical along both left and right edges. Since thats where tablet holders typically hold from. Just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] gojimi:
Hmm... dualing docks... that's an interesting idea. Though it would probably have to wait a bit. :P
[Android Apps and Games] arrow21:
This is great, never wanted to run a launcher... till I saw this one... awesome!!!! Great work
[Android Apps and Games] Fuzzy John:
Gggrrreeeaaattt! !!!
[Android Apps and Games] gogorman:
Love the Launcher...

BUT...

If I set it to default, every time I power on my tablet it says that the Launcher has to Force Close, which it does, then restarts the app.

Just wanted to share a possible bug???
[Android Apps and Games] cheapskate88:
This is awesome! Really too bad that I'm all in with launcher pro or I would change in a heart beat! Can't wait to see where this goes!

Is there any way how you could use the labels from http://www.appbrain.com/app/folder-organizer/com.abcOrganizer as categories?

Titanium Backup seems to be able to access these. And it would be very helpful if I don't have to label/categorize all apps twice.
[Android Apps and Games] Lokifish Marz:
gojimi,

Nice, very nice. This made me switch launchers. I have also made this the officially recommended launcher of the Evo Desktop PC. Hope you get a good bump from it, you deserve it.
[Android Apps and Games] nunjabusiness:
I see zero lag and my docks are full slap up. Maybe you have some extra resident stuff choking it. I wish all my apps ran as smoothly as this.
[Android Apps and Games] wd5gnr:
now that I have everything categorized I turned on the show all option but it just puts everything in uncategorized. Lucky it kept everything still in categories.

Folder Launcher

Hey there.

Would it be possible to add a folder launcher like Arc Launcher has?

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/665428/arclauncher.png)

I think this is a very nice feature and makes it much more easier to start apps.
[Android Apps and Games] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Hello gojimi.

Can I put VTL Launcher 1.6.2 into my Viewpad 10s ROM. The ROM will be published in several forums, not only on XDA.

Just asking to be sure if you are still ok, as the launcher is now as well on the market.
[Android Apps and Games] shorty1483:
Nope, GO Launcher with same amount of Icons runs totally smooth. ADW is also smooth. But thats not a problem because after 2 seconds, the lagging is mostly blown away.

But not correct rebuilt and loaded widgets after reboot is a problem. Any others experienced this problem except liqn7?

Anyway, this is my new Default-Launcher :D

+1 on widgets not working, not a big deal for me. But my App Menu icon doesn't work, tried replacing with a new shortcut and same result. Any ideas?

As a note: I have yet to choose the default launcher, when pressing Home. Think that would have anything to do with this?

I am not able to find how to unistall the 1.5 version on my Adam. In manage applications, when I try to uninstall, the uninstall button is greyed out.

Anybody, any ideas on how do I uninstall the 1.5 version so that I can go ahead and install the latest version?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] shoey5:
All I can say is I'm stunned, it's an amazing beautiful launcher!!!!

Some suggestions

There are so many options I may have missed it but if I didn't, one thing I would love to see is an option to show the Catalog names at the top when you go into App drawer

Example

ALL Utilities Applications Networking

That way you can scroll through them or simply click on the catalog you want rather than having to scroll through them. A nice look to it rather than just displaying text, maybe something to match the bottom app dock would be cool. Would be worth losing a row of icons for extra flexibility in cataloging them.

A password option to lock settings would be nice so people don't mess with it.

Not sure if this matters but optimizations for specific hardware (me Tegra 2 xoom) would be nice if it made a speed difference.
[Android Apps and Games] K900:
One feature request: an option to remove the dockbar icons and replace them with a single "home" button in app drawer, stock launcher style. Icons are duplicated, makes it look unintuitive for me.

Something fishy with the placement of this thread

Usually, the threads with the most recent posts show up higher on the list of threads but this one is showing up three pages deep in this sub-forum even though it has had posts today and yesterday and the day before...

Anyway, I just noticed it wasn't showing up on the first page.

thanks. thought i saw it before but i couldn't find it again.
[Android Apps and Games] shaneaus:
I'm really missing the option to have just a few shortcuts on the desktop (5 on the phone version/ADW) and have a hidden dock bar I can swipe up to show.

Is there anyway you can make the dockbars "hidden" and unhide them with a gesture?

They reappeared after opening and closing my browser. Anyone else have this happen?
[Android Apps and Games] liqn7:
Yeah widgets dont load properly for me either on boot up. I have to restart the launcher to get widgets appearing, but even then the widgets don't update themselves.

Hello there. I have purchased this for a Galaxy Tab but am finding the menus confusing. Is there a manual or some documentation that explains the configurations, and could somebody tell me how to find it if there is?

Thank-you.
[Android Apps and Games] azrienoch:
Should be pretty much the same as adw launcher's documentation. Whatever is unique to vtl from adw is pretty intuitive as far as I see, once you know adw.
[Android Apps and Games] Lokifish Marz:
Hate to bother with this but has anybody been able to get EStrongs desktop shortcuts to work yet? I know the shortcuts work on ADW and Launcher Pro but still have had no luck on VTL. I've even gone so far as to remove all other launchers including stock leaving only VTL with no success.
[Android Apps and Games] ghostfaceg35:
Same issue on my transformer. Easier way to make the widgets reappear is to pinch the homescreen so that it goes to the expanded view of all available screens then reselct a screen and they'll be back.

[Android Apps and Games] zaxondis:
Great Lanucher

I've been using the launcher for a few weeks now since I first saw the post about it from the XDA mods.

Great launcher, it's exactly what my Galaxy Tab needed. I purchased the version in the market so I can get easier updates and you you folks get a little cheddar for it :).

See reports of this elsewhere but thought it worth mentioning again: Some app icons don't load unless I restart the launcher a couple of times after a reboot.

Using the latest Overcome ROM and Kernel.

Keep up the great work. Look forward to future updates!
[Android Apps and Games] dazz87:
I am having an issue with the launcher 1.6.2 for my Asus Transformer. When I set VTL as my default launcher I cant reboot my tablet. Once I set it as default, and shut down my tablet and when it turns on it get stuck at the Asus Welcome screen. If I set my launcher to the stock I am able to reboot and get back to the log in screen. Any one else having this issue?

I have tried this 3 times so far and everything it get stuck at the welcome screen. I then need to do a system wipe. My only solution is to never reboot but if I do I need to change the default back to the stock launcher. Its pretty annoying tho. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] chadness:
Is that running the Transformer out of the box?
[Android Apps and Games] dazz87:
Yes no rooted could that be the issue I am having?
[Android Apps and Games] m101ic3:
Is there a manual available for the VTL Launcher? I'm reluctant to change any settings for fear of messing up what I have now!
[Android Apps and Games] liqn7:
Yup that works too :)

Main problem though is that the widgets themselves do not sync/refresh without you doing something to reset them.

Really annoying/crippling for digital clock widgets, calendars, task lists, twitter feeds etc...

Love the concept, but back to Zeam for me unfortunately until this is fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] lfc_ste:

[Android Apps and Games] MechAniX.one:
Gojimi,

Are you working on anything new for the launcher? Or are you taking a break on it for now?
[Android Apps and Games] kwak10:
You mentioned this on April 5th. Would you mind putting this warning in the original post?

To reproduce on Viewsonic G Tablet - TnTLite 4.4 - VTL.Launcher 1.6.2: ResetVTL to reset all settings, then on the desktop swipe up and swipe down a couple of times. This disables both the menu and back screen keys, prevents many apps from opening, and a short and wide message area stays open. The simplest way out is to reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] The_Tech_Ninja:

Do you ever think you will add the 3d home screen elements like when scrolling and going into apps menu. Also the way it adds widgets how it shows the page on a 3d grid.

I have a similar problem using 1.6.2 on the LG L-06C the Japanese version of LG's beautiful 8.9 inch honeycomb tablet. the tablet is completely stock since I haven't seen a root for it yet.

It hangs on the carrier logo during boot the only way I have found to get out of the hang is vol up+dwn+pwr the cancel the power off prompt and then cancel the request for service code the tablet then continues booting.

KLU by Curtis

Hey GoJimi

I just bought my first tablet, ran to Big Lots and found a KLU by Curtis 8” tablet running Android 2.1.

Since I am totally new and illiterate to Android I wanted to start with this item and start immersing into android. Went into several android pages trying to upload apps, I found Launcher Pro on XDA developers, downloaded and installed into my tablet, it became completely screwed.

Every time I boot it does all the process and all I got is: The application VTL launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly.Please try again.

Now every time I boot it just goes until I get this error message and won’t let me go beyond. Since I can’t access file directory or task manager, I can’t do anything.

Is there a way with keystrokes or something to access the file directory or the home screen?

I called customer support and they asked me to wait until a firmware comes out, they are not of any help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
Try this. Go to market.android.com. sign in. And try to download launcherpro to your tablet from the website. If it downloads, you should be able to hit the home key, and select launcherpro.

[Android Apps and Games] tdxl99:
Hey Zanderman,

the problem is that error message pops out from the beginning and doesn't allow me to go beyond, I can't access home screen or file directory, nothing...

when the error screen [Sorry!, The application VTL launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly.Please try again] pops out, I press the button "Force Close" and the error message pops out again and again and again, I've tried power-home-back and nothing. Is there a way to install some app on my SD to boot from there? I'am lost until Curtis have the new firmware update.
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
If you have tried my first suggestion, and it didn't work, you are going to have to use adb, which is included in the android sdk. Basically, you download a file to your computer, and use the adb program to install in on your device. If you are interested in this option let me know asap. And ill tell you where to download everything to. Its quite simple. You'll also need to download your device's drivers on your pc.

KLU by Curtis LT8025

Hi Zinderman,

I guess I have no choice, I'd be glad to receive your assistance, as I said before I'm totaly new to Android so I hope to be able to follow you. Another question, drivers can be extracted from tablet itself? or should I find 'em elsewhere?

thanks and I'll be looking forward to follow your directions.

I have this same unit and, unfortunately, I don't think anyone has managed to do ADB yet.

There is supposedly a firmware update coming soon (next few weeks) - hopefully that will help. There is also the possibility of doing a so-called "three finger reset"...I did this and was lucky in that I do have a valid recovery image (unfortunately, it toasted my wireless, but at least I wasn't bricked). Several other folks that have tried that have not been so lucky.
[Android Apps and Games] zanderman112:
Oh, well in that case, he'll either have to wait for the update or somehow do a factory reset. Wish I could be more help.

[Android Apps and Games] enotar:
I had this same issue and that drive me nuts...

The only way to get out of the loop is to push home repetively if you didnt set up VTL as default and youll get the select home screenbut you still get the error message just acknowledge and it works after few try to go back to default home not VTL.

Now if by mistake you pushed ok to set VTL as default, this is definitely tricky you have to try getting in settings pushing Menu and aplications where you can remove VTL.

I had this and dont remember exactly how I make it out but succeed after few attempts.

This is definitely a huge issue.

Edit: I used tasker that I had instaled and succeed making a new task at boot to launch Astro and next boot Astro launch at the same time of VTL that gives me error I acknowledge,inside Astro I launched applications manager and desinstalled VTL. Reboot and problem's gone .

You have to have bring down notifications bar where you find tasker if installed

Or maybe you can try to boot in safe mode (really dont know how but that should be easy pushing home or menu or back when turning on

Have just put VTL on my Advent Vega pad. Played around with it a bit and it's amazing.

Suggestion

Hi,

I'd like to have an option to have only right and left docks on landscape and have then turned into top and bottom docks on portrait

this would help to keep the main area more or less in the same size in both portrait and landscape.... better looking for widgets and so on...

is it possible? I think that's an important thing for a home app, even more on a tablet.

My Tablet is back again

Hey guys,

My tablet is already fixed.

To all those who have the error message I got when installing VTL launcher or another app

Read my story;

After installing VTL Launcher from xda developpers and getting the error: :

The application VTL launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly.Please try again

I realized that my tablet could still receive emails (I had previously configured email) so today whenever I received my mails,

I forced to open the browser using any link from any email,

I went to the launcher pro web site (launcherpro.com) scrolled down and found the .apk file (I wasnt unable to donwload it from marketplace.

Downloaded and directly installed and Voila

My tablet is happily working now,

and I have the choice to start with:

Infotm home or

launcher pro home.

Thanks to all you guys
