By far the best launcher out.

Where is the golauncher wallpaper located. Would like to mix and match wallpaper winthin themes.

Best launcher/widgets out there which is constantly updated, cant beat it, in fact like it so much my miui rom runs purely on go launcher ex even removed the standard miui launcher.

[Android Apps and Games] _WHAT_:
Just installed this nice launcher the other day. Really love the look and feel of it.

However I am missing a lot of widgets... like friendstream and quick switch for audio modes.

If I just run sense they are there but when I use the launcher they are not in the widget list....

Any1 els have this problem and how to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Sense widgets only work on the sense launcher.

Download Colorize from the market. It's good decent friends updates widget and calender etc.
[Android Apps and Games] _WHAT_:
Thats to bad but I thought it might be something like that.

I downloaded Adroid Pro Widget earlier today and it works very well.

Just to bad there is no free version with a friendstream.

Thx for the input :)
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
colorize has a friendstream and it's free.
[Android Apps and Games] _WHAT_:
GTIVRon It has yes but the part with the friendstream is unfortunatly not free. To use it you will have to buy a pro version.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Ah, my bad. I usually buy the donate versions of everything I use.
[Android Apps and Games] _WHAT_:
I bought the donate version of Adroid widget pro works like a charm :)
[Android Apps and Games] KB0SDQ:
I think you guys have done a great job with all the themes also i have most all of the other apps you guys put out everything works well. Keep up the good job.

Is there a way to remove the Home button from the app drawer?

I see no use for it as all phone already have a capacitive or hardware Home button.

This way, another row of app icons could be added and there will more use from the app drawer space.
[Android Apps and Games] Imperticus:
Is there a way to go Go Launcher widgets on other launchers, or is it a no go?
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
It is a no go, Go widgets are made to work with Go Launcher and they do not work without it.
[Android Apps and Games] Nitrius:
Have a problem where most wallpapers doesn't really look correctly on the screen, they get zoomed in, and setting portrait wallpapers doesn't seem to work very well.

Touchwiz seems to have no problem with the same wallpaper, is there anything that can be done about this?

Go team

Go launcher is BEAUTIFUL!!!

BUT IS A MEMORY LAG HOE!!

please add options to reduce such huge memory hogging
[Android Apps and Games] BobbyLoblaw:
I have a LOT of app installed on my phone and having the ability to organize the drawer by using folders was the criteria on which i decided to use this launcher.

Although, now, even if other launchers would add that feature i'd still, most probably, stick with this one as it's very stable and fast for a it's customization powers.

Great job.
[Android Apps and Games] borgdog:
Great launcher, been using it almost as long as I have my DroidX. One minor problem is with the multimedia dock that goes into landscape, and when I remove from multimedia dock the background is stuck in landscape so I have black bars top and bottom. A restart of GoLauncher fixes this, but it would be nice not to have to do so. Maybe something that automatically restarts when coming out of home dock mode?
[Android Apps and Games] borgdog:
Have another problem, create a folder in the dock and after Go Launcher restart the folder just shows blank.
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
I have 9 folders in the drawer, with lots of apps in there, and every time Go Launcher starts up it takes about a minute to populate them completely but afterwards there is no problem.
[Android Apps and Games] borgdog:
In the App drawer they work fine, it's when I put it in the dock that they empty themselves out, even though some are pointers to the app drawer folders.
[Android Apps and Games] BobbyLoblaw:
Have that problem too but i can live with that.

What I don't like is that sometimes the apps get pushed outside the folders and need to add them back. Sometimes is very frustrating when it happens, especially with the games folder which has lots of files.
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
There's a GO Launcher beta version floating around that's supposed to fix the bug that bites folders in the dock.

[Android Apps and Games] zmfl:
Is there a way NOT to have folders with that transparent square over them? Once you change the folder icon, the square remains over it. This means you can't have folders looking like other icons on your home screen/dock :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] galaxy89:
Great launcher, I've used touchwiz launcher, LPP, ADW EX, stock MIUI launcher, but i keep coming back to GoLauncher.

I have two suggestions which would make this launcher perfect in my opinion (i would pay for the launcher if you included this!!)

1. Overlapping widgets like in LPP and ADW EX

2. A 'hidden dockbar' feature like in ADW EX. It essentially allows you to swipe on your dock to hide it, and then a second dock comes up. The hidden dock does however not have any icons, but you can choose a dock image for it.

If this exact feature can be replicated this launcher would be perfect!
[Android Apps and Games] anandus:
How can I get the dock on the bottom in landscape mode?

If I go in landscape mode it goes to the right, like this:

But I want it to be like this:

I've looked at the settings, but can't find the option. am I missing something?

Great Launcher, the best I've used.

I would like to suggest, that there are more gestures similar to the nokia n9 running meego and that there is card multitasking like webOS.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
There is a cool beta update on their blog. And also a beta download for golocker.. That's right, a golauncher lock screen. It's still in early early stages but if it's like the norm goteam products, it will be great. Cheers.

App Drawer deleted!

Does anyone know how to re-activate the App Drawer, which got deleted when my daughter was "playing" with my phone :(

I have looked at all of the options in Go Launcher Ex but cannot find how to re-instate the App Drawer.

Cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] qzem:
Can we expect any ICS looking theme?

[Android Apps and Games] mattcoz:
This is really great, but my one problem is that zooming out to view all of the screens is reeeeeaallly slow on my EVO 3D. Everything else is smooth as butter though.

edit: Actually, doing some testing, it seems that it is smooth on the first time I try it. Every time after that it is slow. Same applies to the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] WGSXFrank:
Since getting my Galaxy S 2 two weeks ago, I've tried at least 5 different launchers. Of them, Go Launcher EX seems to use the least amount of memory, it runs the fastest, and the themes look so nice. I really like it!

It's even better after installing Cognition X2 ROM on the phone.

I just deleted the other launchers off my phone before posting this.
[Android Apps and Games] GTIVRon:
Please get actual data, not "seeming" data. Go Launcher is one of the biggest ones. I know for a fact that both Zeam and LPP uses significantly less memory.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Unless something significant has changed with one of the others, I did a test about a month ago for my own personal knowledge. Zeam, LPP, ADW Ex, and Go Ex. Zeam was slightly (but consistently and measurably) lower in overall resource use. The rest were all so close as to be considered the same in my opinion (the order of resource hog-ness would vary depending on use, layout, etc... always very close).

Makes sense since Zeam is ultra minimalistic.

I won't bore you with specific numbers... X amount of memory during XYZ operations, X amount of CPU time during blah blah blah... Firstly, because it's boring and doesn't necessarily translate from one person and device to the next. Secondly because I won't pretend that I kept the data for nostalgia's sake.

Obviously a lot of this will vary since they all won't handle layouts, images, widgets, and various operations in the same way.

Saying something uses globally less (and significantly so) memory than a related alternative seems silly. Perhaps you meant, "In my specific use under my layout and my actions...".

For me, it's not even a contest. Between the low (for me, and relatively speaking) overall resource use, consistent development, quality and quantity of features/customization... Go Launcher Ex is hands down the best.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
I just don't get how folks think just because an app is screwy for them, that it has to be the same for everyone else with a phone too.. Setup,settings, rom, widgets, live wallpapers, amount of music/movies stored, i could go on, etc, all makes a huge difference when we talk about performance of apps we install on our individual phones

*ins>rt sig here*
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
I can only second what dmarden and mrrick said. All launcher are very similar on memory consumption and in speed and it depends more what and how many widgets and live wallpapers and so on you use. But for me the biggest difference is in the ROM and Kernel i use. With my former ROMs i had experienced freezes and slugginesh in the launcher and with the present ROM no more. I have a minimal setup of Go Launcher Ex on only 3 pages and have in my app drawer 20 folders with all my apps. The launcher works always fast and smooth and never hangs on my device.
[Android Apps and Games] jordan23945bulls:
The launcher freezes and force closes when you choose to use an icon from a theme that has alot of them, for example, suave icons pack freezes and it makes the launcher laggy

Is there any way of getting the theme maker? I've seen it around but have not been able to download it since I can't find it on your web pages. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance and great work on a replacement launcher I always use.

Thats what i did, but that pesky single icon still refuses to change :p
[Android Apps and Games] BenRoark:
It's been a while since I've used Go, but I was wondering whether someone could update me on folder options... Are they still purely IPhone style mini-previews only, or can folders' appearances be changed to any icon like in ADW?
[Android Apps and Games] gcogger:
You can now change the icons for the folders (hooray!) but when you open a folder the max number of icons per screen is only 4x3 (boo!)
[Android Apps and Games] jimweda:
Have you tried an app called "Smart Shortcuts". I use that app and its great and very customizable. You can create folders, change their icons into any graphic file you have and not only the ones they have and not limit to how many you can put in each folder. I've put so many icons in some folders that it has to scroll to show them all. Its also free so you can't beat that. You can find it in the market. It also works for contact folders, bookmarks etc. Worth checking out.

Jim
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
But you can scroll. On the other side i have 16 folders in my app drawer, and all my apps fit in there.
[Android Apps and Games] gcogger:
I'd rather not have to :) I'm using Folder Organiser instead (which shows 4 x 6 icons) purely for this reason.

[Android Apps and Games] reznorfan0:
Theme question.

I am a minimalist kind of guy, I like the easily found "transparent" theme for the Go widgets, but hate the fact they have that Sense bubble in the "title bar" of each widget.

Does anybody know if there is an alternate transparent theme out there that has a little cleaner look to it? I have been away from GO in favor of LP for a while because of the larger number of themeing options, but GO has really come a long way, and I'm hoping there is something available.

Thanks.

To the Devs:

I am useing V 2.61 on a Galaxy Note.

When useing HD Display Mode its very laggy, when switching off this option, the App is unuseable because of many drawing problems.

Another HD Problem: Background Pic... when go launcher is started the pic is fully shown, and after a few seconds it gets a 1-2cm black Border around and the pic is croped.

Can you please fix that?

[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
On the home screen? Or the dock? Use desktopvisualizer for the homescreen icons, it allows for full size. As far as the dock, I don't think so. I think they're automatically small on the dock..

Hi,

Same with me... I put some shortcuts and widgets in some screens and after a phone reboot or go launcher restart, some shortcuts are overlap and others disappeared or simply duplicate on other screens. This is very annoying and I stop used go launcher for now until resolve this issue.

I already clean cache app and data. If I backup and restore, it's the same!

Great home screen replacement! Best one I've used yet! I'm really impressed with how well this was made. 2 requests though!

Can we have an option to remove the Home button in the drawer? Also to not return to the app drawer after exiting an app would be nice.

Just discovered this launcher, widgets and notifications and loving it. So many customizations which is fantastic.

Only thing I would love to see is notifications for other emails, such as pop3 but more importantly for me is exchange server (bloody work!).

Nice to see would be an option in the calendar widget would be to pick which one of the 2 options as the default, yep you guessed it I would like the agenda like part of the widget as the default as apposed to the calendar part. Yeah I know there is always one!

Hey everybody,

As of now, is there a way to get rid of the Home buttond inside the app drawer?

This is redundant as all Android phones have a hardware Home button, and this way you can also add/see another row of app icons.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
There isn't. If you make your own theme you can remove the home button and place a pic or something along the bottom, can't add another row for apps tho. Hopefully they will implement this feature as its been requested alot now.

Is there a way to stop GO Launcher EX to autoupdate itself or to stop it checking for autoupdates? I plan update manually.

I'm monitoring the wakeups on my Android device and I see com.jiubang.action executing statistic data and autoupdate jobs.

There were 15 statistic data alarms one auto update, and one scan apps jobs over 8 hours of night time, while the phone was on and connected to wifi.

This means Go Launcher is checking on us on how we use it and to update itself. I want to stop it doing this in order to save battery. I didn't found such options in the Preferences menu.
[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
Fantastic launcher - have used it for well over 18 months now and it's fantastic to see it constantly getting updated and improved.

The option to close apps is a waste. Android purposely loads apps into ram and no matter what you close ssomething else will fill its place. It not a feature because its a waste.
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
I don't know if you refere to the post where people is talking about the option of closing the app drawer when you launch an app from it, so that when you close the app you are back to the home screen instead as having still the app drawer open.
