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
[Android Apps and Games] remlap:
Restart the launcher mate, it's happened to me too :)
[Android Apps and Games] 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
[Android Apps and Games] karlkarloff:
Thanks, don't know why that didn't occur to me, but at any rate, fixed it right up!
[Android Apps and Games] 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
[Android Apps and Games] DroidHam:
thanks boss!
[Android Apps and Games] DroidHam:
Can anyone post some nice honeycomb themed wallpapers for this?
[Android Apps and Games] 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??
[Android Apps and Games] 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
[Android Apps and Games] DroidHam:
I did it earlier with IE and it was a .zip, just did with Firefox and its a .apk

here..
[Android Apps and Games] drum747:
Very Nice! Thanks Droidham for the Apk! This launcher is very cool, nice work Gojimi!
[Android Apps and Games] 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.

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!
[Android Apps and Games] 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
[Android Apps and Games] 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?
[Android Apps and Games] 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.

[Android Apps and Games] 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.

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.
[Android Apps and Games] frjj:
app drawer in horizontal mode is not usable. vertical mode works fine. great launcher, lovin' it
[Android Apps and Games] 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
[Android Apps and Games] 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 :)
[Android Apps and Games] tenet420:
+1 Gojimi

Worked perfect. That is awesome. Thanks for everything you do.

Original post updated with version 1.4.
[Android Apps and Games] 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!
[Android Apps and Games] 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
[Android Apps and Games] ntnunk:
Finally got my G-Tab today and got it set up with Vegan and the VTL.Launcher. Absolutely great!
[Android Apps and Games] gojimi:
Scrollable widget support is built in. No settings needed. Tested with Agenda Widget.
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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?
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] enotar:
I love it.......

This is fantastic for my X5A-G

thank you so much for this,the best launcher arround
[Android Apps and Games] 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
[Android Apps and Games] 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
[Android Apps and Games] hamzer11:
Thank you. I had just found it and came to edit my post.
[Android Apps and Games] enotar:
In portrait left and right background cannot be unselected if I am right?
[Android Apps and Games] remlap:
Thanks just installed 1.4 from first impressions seems more stable.
[Android Apps and Games] tharien:
Any chance you are going to bake this into your upcoming vegan gingerbread beta?
[Android Apps and Games] 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!
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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!
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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.. :(
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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!!!
[Android Apps and Games] gojimi:
No Problem at all! Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] 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
[Android Apps and Games] 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!
[Android Apps and Games] 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!
[Android Apps and Games] Anon87:
Stupid question but how do I get the side docks to show after I hide them?
[Android Apps and Games] 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
[Android Apps and Games] 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
[Android Apps and Games] hamzer11:
If I am correct, you can long press, press edit, and then click on the icon on the left to change it.
[Android Apps and Games] slsmag:
scrolling widgets

UPDATE: I lied... scrolling works fine on Agenda Widget - Ignore my post (below!)

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

(will try others and update post)

Vegan 1.0 b5.1.1, kernel ver 2.6.32.9-dirty

VTL 1.3

[Android Apps and Games] Anon87:
If I swipe downwards near the dockbar it becomes hidden. How do I get it to show up again without restarting the launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] mooja:
I noticed this as well
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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!

-Enjoy
[Android Apps and Games] mooja:
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***
[Android Apps and Games] kozmo2k4:
Awesome job! Loving this launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] 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)
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] dazednfazed:
Thank so much for this!
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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!
[Android Apps and Games] Reggie777:
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.
[Android Apps and Games] whiplash13:
That would be awesome. Great work on this and your ROM.

Have you tested this on the WiFi Xoom?

Stuck @ BootLogo Screen.
[Android Apps and Games] jerdog:
Why would you? This wasn't built for Honeycomb....
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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

-Enjoy
[Android Apps and Games] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
its not a bug. its a feature ;)

classic.
[Android Apps and Games] gojimi:
Zaphod you caught that. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jl92880:
Thanks...any help would be great.

So Far I've flashed back to the following:

Restore Wifi-Only System and Boot Img

Now it is stuck at the Honeycomb Boot Animation.

How can I do a log?
[Android Apps and Games] jl92880:
It is rooted btw - using Tiamat 1.1.6
[Android Apps and Games] ellessidil:
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....
[Android Apps and Games] johnhrschuster:
Thank you

Thank you very much, quite an improvement over the launcher included with TNT.
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] jl92880:
Xoom back from the Dead!

flash stock img+boot img

then flash Tiamat

then rerun the unlock bootloader command.

i think....haha. did a lot of flashing.
[Android Apps and Games] 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. :)
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] chadness:
You're good! That's exactly right. Good to know!
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] gojimi:
Already done... you will be able to do this in the next version. Each dock (left,right and bottom) will have independent controls.
[Android Apps and Games] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
GoJimi is 'Da Man' :)
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
