switched to this from adw ex, only things missing are the hide dock gestures (would be awesome to be able to hide/un-hide all 3 docks!) and maybe eventually transition animationswhen switching screens, other than that this is the most customizable/ smoothest scrolling/ coolest launcher ive ever used :) thank you for sharing such great work! makes my 4.3' screen feel like honeycomb with the adw theme in place and honeybread cm7 theme :p multiple scrollable widgets per screen with still space to spare convinces my less android savvy friends haha

xoom stuck on bot logo

i installed VTL launcher and now my xoom is stuck on the boot logo

please help!
[Android Apps and Games] tj!2k7:
Didn't see this listed (or perhaps I missed it), but I wanted to suggest having an option to keep the wallpaper centered in both landscape and portrait modes.

And excellent work on the launcher, btw. =)

home buttons

anyone having problems witht the home button on the status bar not working hom back and settings are not working when I touch them they highlight but dont dod anything work great in launcher pro i have two taps installed no problems with that rom at all anyway this lauincher is way fast love it.
[Android Apps and Games] spamhead:
No problem with the status bar buttons in Calkulin+Clemsyn. I do have a problem with swipe-down opening up a little blank window when there are no pending notifications, then not disappearing until the battery indicator is tapped to open and then closed. While the blank notification bubble is up, no other navigation works.

I finally had to disable swipe-down/swipe-up functions in the settings and keep the status bar from hiding.

Otherwise, I'm enjoying it very much, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Eujin:
Hey, this launcher is great on my adam. However, I've run into the same problem I ran into with Classic ADW(and launcher pro). Once installed, any 1024x600 wallpaper I try to set gets treated as if my screen size was 800x600.

I've used wallpaper set and save, with no difference. I've tried rotating to landscape/portrait/etc while using gallery, with no difference

As soon as I install this, my wallpaper gets stretched the first time I switch to it. The only way I can fix this is by doing a factory reset, which makes me thing it's a .prop change somewhere, but I don't know where to look. (Uninstalling sadly doesn't resolve the issue)

any insight on where Android stores the screensize info?

Edit: Been doing some fiddling, still can't get it to show wallpaper's properly. As an odd note, it appears that after VTL is installed, it changes wallpaper_info.xml under /data/system to state the width is 1200, and the height is 1024. When my height is 600, and my width 1024. If I change these, then reboot, upon the system starting up, the wallpaper will display right for a split second, then switch back to stretched, with the settings changed back as well (Even if I set the file to read only, it still changes back to r/w and 1200x1024)

I guess it takes some work but after using launcher pro, I really want a hardware accelerated launcher. Any chance that can be added?
[Android Apps and Games] mellojoe:
Tried this on my Dell Streak (5"). It is probably smaller than what this launcher is designed for. But I like it! It has some nice features, like the side dockbars. I'm looking forward to playing with it.

One quick question: Can you specify that the dockbar icons begin in a certain location: ie. start from the bottom up. So that if there is only a single icon, it can be positioned at the top, middle, or bottom. Same with the bottom bar: left, middle, right.

Very cool concept, and I appreciate the hard work. Looking forward to continuing with it.

Bricked My motorola Xoom

This apk soft bricked my motorola xoom, it now just sits at the honeycomb boot animation forever. Unrooted, stock.

Anyone help, I can only access fastboot... but as far as I can tell theres nothing I can do.

The "supposed" factory reset mentioned on motorola's website does not work, I cant even access it.

resizing widgets triggered force closes, and now it force closes 5 seconds after launching. Hope the kinks are worked out soon, i really love the feel of this on my Galaxy tab.:o

any suport for custom bottom dock background tomming?

using it on my nexus s now.it looks cool.wonder whats the best setting to ru it on a 800x480.
[Android Apps and Games] mintvilla:
askin that question in the forum where no one has a xoom is a little daft dont ya think? we obvs all have gtabs hence where in the gtab section. Am sure theres a way to to get into recovery on the xoom
[Android Apps and Games] marco_s86:
beware : do not install on unrooted wifi xoom

No pun intended on the developer. :

** Do not install this on an unrooted xoom! **

It will soft brick it and you will be stuck with an infinite honeycomb boot logo

I had to go through adb and wrote command 'adb reboot recovery ' and do a full wipe

Don't bother trying to get into recovery using the steps on the Motorola site, it doesn't work!

It seems to be a great app and it seems to be working great on other devices but there seems to be an issue with the zoom as multiple users are having this problem
[Android Apps and Games] mid_life_crisis:
I've never "Sideloaded" an app before, but reading tells me I need a .apk file to do it. The link is to a .zip file that when extracted has no .apk in it. Should I rename the .zip to .apk?

Edit: Oh, hell, I didn't realize that the link took me out of the Streak area. I'll go back there and post. Sorry folks.
[Android Apps and Games] marquez7890:
why does it need to directly call phone number? under permissions
[Android Apps and Games] Hokum:
So far I like it, one question, I'd like to make the dock smaller, is this possible? I like the Icon size when you have the reflection, but without the reflection :) Otherwise I end up with huge icons!
[Android Apps and Games] chadness:
Hmmm, is it so you can make a dialing shortcut from the launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] ViPaSoft:
Excellent App, thank you very much.

Using it without any major problems on my ADVENT VEGA.

Only minor issue I've noticed is that if you swipe left/right on left/right bars to hide them, I cannot seem to get them to come back again without going into settings and hiding/unhiding them and then re-starting VTL.
[Android Apps and Games] Kirisawa:
Wow, great work. It works fantastic on my Archos 101IT
[Android Apps and Games] XsceneXhippieX:
I have the same issue, once hidden the docks will not reappear until the launcher is restarted... I would hide them and unhide them all the time if not for this bug, please include a fix in the next update :) other than that the only thing missing is transition animations, I love this launcher

Trying to figure out how to get those icons left and right...
[Android Apps and Games] azrienoch:
Love the idea, want to be able to use it, but I'm having problems with it and I have a few requests.

First and foremost, on my Galaxy Tab (it's not an issue on my Dell Streak), the bottom dock in both portrait and landscape modes is off-center. There are five icons, but it's centered as if there are only three. As I remove each icon, the centering stays the same, so that by the time there's only one icon, it is where the fourth from the right icon would be if there were a total of six icons. And when I try to scroll to the two that are forced off-screen, it bounces back so that I can't click them. I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I'll send whatever you need to figure it out. EDIT: After the third time removing all the apps from the dock, the centering seems to have reset itself. Problem solved, I guess.

Second, again on the Tab and not on the Streak, if I disable the left dock, the app drawer stops obeying the drawer margins on the left and right.EDIT: Bugfix on 1.5. Thank you.

Third, I think that the dock icons should be universally spaced, not subject to the number of rows and columns on the desktop. Everything on the side docks look fine in portrait mode, but get forced too close together in landscape.

Fourth, I'd like to choose what happens to each dock when switching from landscape to portrait. I'd like to tell the launcher that the bottom dock in portrait mode is the right dock in landscape. And the right dock in portrait mode is the bottom dock in landscape.

Fifth, I think the dock scrolling should not end with the last icon, but give some space, both so I don't have to try very hard not to click an icon on an adjacent dock, and so that it's easier to place icons at the end.

Sixth, I'd like to be able to choose a "home" icon, in the same way that I can choose a home screen, except that I want the option to not have one. Specifically, when I go to the home screen, I want the app drawer icon centered on that dock.

Seventh, I notice that I can't really flick through the dock icon list, the way I can with the app drawer. Instead, I have to drag my finger as far as I want it to go. I don't know if this can be improved, but I know I can flick using the scrollable dock in ADWex (never tried ADW), so I assume it can be done. EDIT: Not a problem with 1.5. Thank you.

Eighth, I'd like to know if there's anything special or different than ADW to keep in mind when creating themes and docks.

Really appreciate it, and excited for the final version. Thank you.

Yesssssssssssssss!

Finally a tablet launcher!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Sane1:
Works fine on my un-rooted xoom.
[Android Apps and Games] gojimi:
Original post updated with a quick bugfix release... larger bugfix release later this week hopefully....

I see everyone's questions and comments and issues.... I obviously can't respond to all of you. :( But just know that I hear you and there are alot of great ideas in here... good things to come hopefully.

As to the xoom issues... I am seeing mixed results which leads me to wonder if there is another underlying cause on top of being a xoom. Like maybe another launcher conflicting with mine or another app or something.... I would like a logcat pulled from a bootlooping xoom that they believe is based on VTL.Launcher. Feel free to PM me the copy of the logcat info. Maybe we can figure this out.
[Android Apps and Games] atakapa:
Great work on this launcher and the RC1 for Vegan-ginger.

Glad to also see you back and busier than ever.
[Android Apps and Games] lmemperador:
is it posible to reasign the number of screens?

or is it fixed? i can not see the option in settings to change it.

thanks, great app
[Android Apps and Games] wd5gnr:
Bring up settings from the home screen and press edit. You can use plus to add screens arrow to move them x to delete and pushpin to default
[Android Apps and Games] azrienoch:
Thanks very much for the very quick bugfix for the margins. Looks excellent. Not sure if it was intentional, but it seems the flick feature (#7) was also fixed and running very smoothly.
[Android Apps and Games] lmemperador:
thx a lot :)
[Android Apps and Games] jmdearras:
This is great! One thing I've noticed on my GTab (vegan) is that when you resize a widget, the sizing frame is offset from the widget image off to the left a bit. Is this normal, or do I have some issue on my tab?
[Android Apps and Games] atakapa:
Does this on mine as well (vegan-ginger RC1), but doesn't seem to affect functionality of the widgets any.
[Android Apps and Games] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
probably an incorrect offset due to the side docks.
[Android Apps and Games] itsonlym3:
aces! thanks for a really nice launcher, you've done really well with this and i couldn't be happier running it on my recently acquired gTablet. :)
[Android Apps and Games] nunjabusiness:
What would be really nice is a "check for updates" option in the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] wallah:
big thanks

AWESOME launcher man !!! keep it up, great work i love it soooooo much !! :D

the best launcher i tried !!

just a little sugestion pls, if its posible to have in the menu background for the icons, like in the samsung launcher ???

run very nice on my galaxy tab !!!

thanks a lot
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:

Nice work.

My favorite launcher.

So I just had to do a full wipe and reinstall of my nook last night, and im trying to get everything back the way it was. when i tap and hold on programs on my desktop i used to get 3 items remove, edit, and uninstall(i still get these in adw), now i have 4 items remove, edit, application data, and market. i really miss being able to uninstall apps just by tapping and holding and choosing uninstall, any way to change back?
[Android Apps and Games] Godzilla10:
I must say this launcher is awsome. tried vegan gingerRC1 and was to many problems with the video and sound and hulu so i installed Calkulin's G-Tab v1.1 and put this launcher on and all i have to say is WOW superfast with all the video support and looks like a tablet WOW. Have to say thanks to gojimi and calkulin!
[Android Apps and Games] atreyu134:

Data Wipe clarifications.

I've seen the term Data wipe, and clear the Dalvik cache, etc a number of times when speaking about updates, flashing the roms, etc. But I'm not sure exactly what this means, or how to do it. I have CWM .8, and notice that there are the options to wipe data, and clear the Dalvik cache, etc... are these the options referred to? Or is there a way to do this without using CWM? Say, through the setup screen?

Then, do I first do the update, whatever it is, then boot into CWM, and wipe the data, clear the caches, then reboot? Or am I to first wipe the data, clear the caches, and then install the updates? [Wiping it first would seem to ensure the new install/update comes into being fresh and clean.] I know these might be "stupid" questions, but please bear with me. I have found that it is better to be absolutely sure of the instructions before blundering into a big mistake. ;)

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] mellojoe:
Any thoughts on this? Can we specify if the dock icons are orientated to the center, left, or right? Or will it always, and only, put the icons in the center?
[Android Apps and Games] chadness:
This post is about a launcher, so you shouldn't have to wipe. But, most of the wiping is done through CWM. The one exception is clearing data for a specific application, which you do in the system application settings. (System, manage applications, etc.)
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
I think I found a bug. If you place an icon on the screen for dropping down the status bar and press it the status bar drops down and up again. I then have to press the icon again and then it works. Is it just me happening this? I'm using the launcher in landscape mode and the status bar is hidden.

Anyway I love this launcher. It's really nice on the tab.
[Android Apps and Games] odub303:
Thanks for the work, this launcher is just what my Nook Color needed to turn it into a true tablet experience. I only have one request, which would be to allow for the setting of different layouts for portrait vs landscape. By different layouts, I do not mean the number of columns and rows, but rather the actual content and organization of a home screen. For example, I only use one home screen, with the Beautiful Widgets SuperClock taking 4x3 next to Android Agenda Widget taking 4x3, with two rows of app shortcuts underneath in 8 columns. In landscape this is ideal, but when rotated to portrait it gets all squished and weird obviously. I'm willing to take the performance hit required for a redraw (not sure if others are) in order to allow the launcher to load the different layout in portrait, as I'm not sure it would be much more of a delay than currently exists when a redraw occurs on rotation. Not sure how difficult this would be to implement, but a settings option to toggle individual portrait and landscape layouts would be ideal IMHO. Thanks again, great work!
[Android Apps and Games] pitamakan:
I imagine that would be a ton of work for the developer ... but the result would be absolutely brilliant.
[Android Apps and Games] MechAniX.one:
Im loving the launcher. The only thing I wish , is for the app drawer to have organizing options. The app drawer gets so messy. It would be great to have a folder or a tabbed drawer that you could list games, tools, widgets and so on. Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
Are you still looking for a logcat? I've got a XOOM that bootlooped on me yesterday after I installed VTL-Launcher. I've since installed other things but I'm happy to give it another go and see what happens.
[Android Apps and Games] tj!2k7:
If possible, that would be so totally freakin' sweet... :D
[Android Apps and Games] wd5gnr:
Doesn't it? I don't know if that's a launcher thing or a Gingerbread thing but in options pick Drawer Settings and make sure Catalog Navigation is checked. Then go to the drawer. Press the menu key and press Choose Group. Select New Catlalog. Then back to menu and Setup Group.

I am not sure what the "Catalog Navigation Button" is but with the menu you can do it.

[Android Apps and Games] MechAniX.one:
Thanks wd5gnr,

I tried it out and it worked. I was unaware of this capability. Its cool that its there, but the app drawer still needs more help. I think it would be cool to have tabs on top or on the side to navigate the groups. Thanks for the heads up on that though.
[Android Apps and Games] wd5gnr:
Try Smart taskbar. It works with any launcher including this one.

Your Launcher is the first that convinced me to disinstall Launcher Pro (the pro version that i've paid!!!)!!! Congratulations!!!

I have one request please... when i select the voice to prevent to unload the launcher when the screen is off or when the tab need more memory the screen rotation is blocked on portrait, can you enable the possibility to block the screen on landscape? This is my only request to make your Launcer perfect for me!!!

No other function, only emprove the reactivity...

I've installed on Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 7" and is great with Honeycomb Theme!!!

One question, why does the top statusbar sometimes appear solid black and other times transparent? When it's transparent it partially duplicates my Beautiful Widget Home Weather icon.

Any ideas?

[Android Apps and Games] bschrib:
My apologies if this has already been asked, I've not been able to find it in this thread, but is it possible to make the taskbar at the top of the screen (where clock etc. is) transparent like the modified launcher that comes with Calkulin's ROM? Would love for that. :)
[Android Apps and Games] bschrib:
This! It's what I must be suffering from -- I installed the launcher and switched to it from the default launcher in Calkulin's ROM and just assumed the statusbar is solid black.
[Android Apps and Games] pagantek:
Gojimi - I really dig this layout a lot. It really brings out the tablet feel that the device has been missing. I do have a quick question/request. How easy would it be to incorporate some of the desktop transition effects? I don't know if that is specific to the coding of EX version, or if they are in the framework available to all launchers. Thanks for your fantastic work.
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
That would make this launcher even more perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] lmemperador:
please, in the list of apps, using a new group for cleaning the whole list of apps, is it posible to make appear new installed ones in this new group? it will be so useful for maintein the app drawer (list of apps) clean, IMO

another thing could be a shortcut to lock and unlock the desktop instead of menu button - more - vtl settings, IMO

thanks a lot for the launcher, i like it so much. great work
