Yep that's what was on about and as many users we use < as is close program admittedly its not on every app, but pressing home to get to homescreen is not only a ballache but leaves "more" apps open in background, more process RAM usage equals more battery.

Not stating at you just clarification on post since know your more than aware of android OS and its features ;)
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Don't know about other roms,but with cm7 there's a setting that allows you to longpress the back button to completely close apps when exiting.. if you long press the home button it will bring up a menu of last used apps you can switch between also..

Also,you're not using up any extra memory or battery than you would by killing the app manually,which, the act of killing apps manually uses up more battery and memory than you would think..

I'm not on about aggressively killing apps and the equation you use is from taskkillers and regularly killing apps via another process android has enough management of processes and including the pre stated < close without being aggressive since is part of OS functionality.

i dont know if devs read here but i d like to share my problem

i cant navigate between homescreen because of the swipe upwards gesture i guess

i have to swipe %100 horizontally if i want to change the page im on. swiping it a lil up causes the gesture function to load (even if i disable that it still doesnt navigate)

here's an image what im talking about
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Maybe its the lack of punctuation,or a bit of a language barrier, but im still really not sure what the point is that you're trying to get across then..

*Kingpin... get it?*
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
I use swipe up to show/hide status bar. I use swipe down to show/hide dock. Never had an issue with switching homescreens. Is there maybe a setting to set gesture sensitivity? Id have to look..

*Kingpin... get it?*
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
+ 1..........
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
Strange i dont have that issue. I just tried it out and even diagonally swyping taked me to the next page. And i use the same up down gestures as you.

This launcher needs to have the option to use the android managed app transition. It ruins my ics transitions.

If there is one thing I hate. It's having ADD.
[Android Apps and Games] PharmNerd:
Installed this launcher a few days ago, and had to switch back to Launcher Pro. Last night, GO Launcher created a duplicate copy of every homescreen icon and widget ON TOP of the originals. I had to manually "delete" the duplicate for each one. Then, this morning, all of my icons disappeared (but the widgets were normal).

Seems to happen right after I use my car dock.
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Me too. Fault in update i guess. Will be fixed

[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
I've had the duplicate icons/widgets on top of each other issue before - only once though about a month ago. I removed GO Launcher and reinstalled it and it hasn't occurred again since so I didn't really think much of it.

Never had any icons or widgets disappear on me.
[Android Apps and Games] steveeJ:
i love this launcher because it brings more than the functionality of ADW Launcher with the smoothness of Zeam Launcher!

but there are some issues that prevents me from using it as my default home app:

-pressing the "search button" on my phone does nothing, instead of opening the google search app. i understand that not everyone wants the google search app, but it would be really nice if you could add the possibility to map the key like you do with the "home button" for example.

-"back button" behaviour is strange, it reacts "on push" and not "on push and let go", so it's really difficult to kill an application using the long-back-click.

instead it happens everytime that i kill the launcher and that's not what it want :eek:

besides this,

very good work!

greets

stefan
[Android Apps and Games] Ximo F. Verde:
Same here, every time the launcher restarts or the phone reboots homescreens (icons & widgets) overlap each other. This has happened with a few different ROMs/kernels. Seems to be a bug affecting more than a few and surely worth attention. LG O2X here, MoDaCo Gr5 w/ HorsePower RC8-r kernel
[Android Apps and Games] S0und_:
Is there any way to turn off the "home button" on the app drawer? It's a pointless thing for me on the app drawer, just wasting useful space.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Not as of yet..

*Kingpin... get it?*
[Android Apps and Games] iovaniorgovan:
I said the same thing some pages ago, and many others did too. I think the Go dev team is not reading this and we should write to them directly.

icon/widget doubling problem

i've had the same problem with my HTC Sensation for several months. the easiest fix is to do a restart. otherwise you must delete both copies of every doubled icon and widget and then replace with a fresh copy, otherwise they will all disappear upon restart (since this is too much work, i would recommend restarting instead.) i have noticed that the only items that don't double are the Go Launcher EX widgets. i have not yet figured out what causes this to happen (but i do suspect it is an installed update of a GLE widget or the launcher itself.) what i have noticed is that if flipping through my home screens is laggy then this problem is most likely to have re-occurred. any ideas on who needs to be informed of this problem?

[Android Apps and Games] derfiderfi:
Hi,

I installed this really impressive app on my Galaxy Note and, despite quite a bunch of improvements, I miss one special feature that bites me right now when using the app drawer :

I have no use for sorting my apps. I want them arranged the way I arrange them. For example :

App-drawer Page 1 : contains audio & video apps (i.e. 12 apps)

App-drawer Page 2 : contains online apps (i.e. 18)

App-drawer Page 3 : contains office apps (i.e. 10 apps)

and so on.

The stock launcher of my Galaxy Note (Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread.XXKL7) provides this as there is no sorting function.

Ist it possible to provide this in any of the next releases ?

Nevertheless : My appreciation for so much brilliant features !!!
[Android Apps and Games] benjamin336:
Great launcher, good work!
[Android Apps and Games] tokyostomp:
id really like this feature too. i just recently put go launcher on my kindle fire and this is the only thing bugging me. hopefully the boys in china or where ever they are will get a memo

Notifications

I seem to be having issues with the Notifications "addon", it keeps showing 2 text messages unread, yet I don't have any. I've tried clearing cache, reinstalling notifications plugin and re-reading all text messages.. none of which work. Is this a known bug? Is there a simple fix?
[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Why are people still gravedigging this thread? GO Launcher EX is up to version 2.8.7 as I type and there is a thread being updated for it elsewhere in this forum.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi, I was searching the cause of this icon pack loading problem. This is my first attempt for icon pack.

Download from Play Store: When trying to pick the theme installed - showed "loading...." And if I press OPEN after installation, GO launcher will not be open. The icon pack just crash.

Install apk from internal memory / Eclipse - no loading problem. - But if OPEN will give stop responding error.

Need some help on this. Is it because of some option when uploading the icon pack apk to play store?

Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidactiv.theme.launcher.activxhdlite.main

I suspect I did something wrong in manifest.xml

Is there a way to stop Go Launcher trying to update itself? It wakes up the phone 9-11 times per night, see attached.
[Android Apps and Games] tonyp22:
I'm hoping somebody can help with a GoLauncher EX question. I sideloaded it on to my Nook HD+. It all seems to work okay except for Go Store. It accepted my Go Play login credentials, but every time I try to install an app it says it installed, but it never shows up. Meanwhile, the apps installed from the Amazon App (which I also sideloaded) show up just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] elijahblake:
Love this launcher..

3D app gallery would make it a 10/10!!

Oh and i just installed the latest version and i still only see 4 Enter/Exit app gallery transitions

I did notice that the new version seemed to have freed up around 50MB of memory!! Good Stuff!!

[Android Apps and Games] yagami:
congrats on the wonderfull launcher :)

to me right now , the only thing i miss from "other launchers" is the ability to make use of the DOCK space when dock is hidden.

would be nice for the dock to be auto hidden ( able to hide it... go launcher would use all the phone screen space. when unhidding the dock , it would hide again when a launcher is clicked )

thanks for the great launcher , really like it alot ! :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
You seem to be getting bombarded with suggestions!!!

I used to be a huge user of LPP, and used to encourage others to install.

The lack of updates/news annoyed me, and I stumbled across GoLauncherEx some time ago.

I've never looked back!!

Awesome Launcher.

My only suggestion would be to have the ability to place an "app drawer folder" that I have created, into the dock.

So, ,when pressed on the dock, a quick popup would be displayed, showing the contents of the folder (just like it already does in the app drawer).

Cheers - keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] elijahblake:
Yeah, I finally figured out that you have to put it in horizontal mode, to get the icon effects...

I don't like that mode, but cool effects..

Could you make it where vertical scroll could loop like you can on home screens? +3d ;p

[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
A restart Go Launcher EX option in the menu would be nice. Sometimes i get slow or no response then i have to choose exit Launcher and then restart it again manually.

Calendar Widget not working

I just got the calendar widget from the market and its amazing except for the fact that it is displaying recurring events that it should no longer be showing. My google calendar does not have them displayed for that day but go widget does.

To make it clearer my class schedule was in my google calendar but it was set to stop on May 6th. However, go widget is still displaying them as occurring as if they never stopped.
[Android Apps and Games] stepchild:
I love the new calendar widget. Just one issue I found. it displays all day event a day behind the actual date. as an example..a birthday occurs on the 25 may, but widget shows it on 24 may.

But other then that looks good and seems to work fine.
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
Is there a way to hide or remove the 4 small icons which show up on the folders created inside the application launcher? I would like to use minimalistic folder icons but they get covered up with the small icons and that does not look good. Also how do i remove the folder name? If i just remove it it will be named folder.

Hoping that the GoLauncher Team please add the possibility to use transparent status bars with static wallpapers.

Please add such a functioanlity.

With LiveWallpapers it works, but not with static. ADW Launcher can do this, but Launcher Pro and GoLauncher shows a black background.

An, please, can you make the sorting order of homescreen folders changeable?

(eg Most Used, New to old, manually sort or so)

Thank you, GoLauncher Team!
[Android Apps and Games] JustSomeDude:
Love this launcher! One request: any chance you will be adding "bookmarks" as a swipe gesture option?

With that and some theme-able calendar, contacts, and facebook/twitter widgets, I'll have nothing to miss from Launcher Pro.

[Android Apps and Games] mickael91210:
Hello and thanks for this great launcher.

I have a question about the color overligning of clicked icons on the homescreen, I tried with several themes and it is allways "orange". How can I change this color of the "selector" please?

Thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] yagami:
instead of removing those tabs ( very good funcionality ) , why not putting then in the bottom next to the home button ??

its seems like a "wasted" row anyway. might as well be usefull
[Android Apps and Games] waterpolo:
Is it possible to change (themeing) the application selector background (orange) in the screens and in the menu (green)?

I have a blue theme and therefor I want to have also a blue selector.

The png files are:

focused_application_background.9

pressed_application_background.9

menu_selected.9
[Android Apps and Games] mickael91210:
Thanks a lot for the information.

I saw that these png aren't in the themes but only in the apk of GoLauncherEx. Does it mean that I have to modify the GLEx apk for each new version to have an other color selector? I will do it for the beta from first post for the moment.

Thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] waterpolo:
I tried this, but without luck.

The modified apk will not install succesfull.

I used the drawpatch for the modified .9.png files, see attached.

What do I wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] walda:
Hello, in .28 i have the following problem:

* Swype gestures are very very inresponsable, so they work very seldom. That was much better in 2.27! Please revert that, if possible. I 'm useing .27 again.

Suggestion:

* Swype - App Selection: Please implement the selection of an activity of the apps, like minimalisticText does.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mickael91210:
Still Thanks for the information, I modified the apk 2.28 (first post) to replace all orange by simple blue for first test and it works good... I thought It may be more customisable directly in the settings of GLEx.

Maybe an idea for good devs of this good Launcher...

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] yagami:
one thing that has been annoying me latelly is the fact that when using GO launcher widgets, swipping actions dont work.

i use alot the swipe down action to show notifications , and in message , calendar and contacts on screen its impossible to see the notifications because swipping doesnt work !

thanks for the great launcher :)

I can share the modified apk but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do it... If not, I will delete this post as soon as possible.

Yes I recolored with Gimp.

I only modified hdpi resolution, I hope you use the same one. If not, ask me and I can try to re-do the modification (or I only used apk-manager4.9 and Gimp ...).
[Android Apps and Games] BhRaElEfD:
Thank you for outstanding launcher!

I was wondering if anyone else is having problems changing icons or adding shortcuts to the dockbar? I can do neither :(

Also, was wondering if there were any plans on being able to import icons/themes made for other launchers?

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] waterpolo:

Dear Developers!

I tried to leave LauncherPro Plus and use GO Launcher (and to the whole GO world:)) but not really satisfied... The app itself is one of the most polished and sophisticated app in its category. Many options, many good things, almost all fantastic, and there are nowhere else, but!

The screen changes are lot slower as LauncherPro (not just the and of tthe screeen, where alpha blended screen loop of course could a little bit slow the motion compared to LPP 'slim' loop, but the screen transitions always lags, slow, etc...) Sometimes the drawer open also has long lag... The simple alpha blended drawer open also very rough. LPP's fly-in effect is lot more faster, when a little bit more difficult effect. And the bounce effect is lot more flat compared to others big bounces (after calibrate is also...)...

The other thing what lot of people would like (I searched about it in lot of forums) one friends widget, based on your already done calendar and message widget, with twitter, and facebook news (maybe with not standalone auth, but use the system instead and taps could bring up the desired app not the web (as in LPP)). Also one simple bookmarks widget could make perfect the race!

The option to hide icon titles is almost very good, but hide on folders in this case is not the best thing. Folders without title sometimes could not identified, so if could be possible leave folder titles when hide any other titles could be fantastic! And one more visual problem is the directly showed screen indicator instead of fast alpha blended one... Samsung's unfamiliar TouchWiz Launcher use fade-in and fade-out effects and looks lots more smooth. Just please add alpha fade-in at shown near the disappear fade-out...

Your app is practically the best of all, but until these problems still alive, lot of people will choose another solution. I would like to use as all GO App almost bring the whole MIUI quality to stock Androids, but simply could not use it cause the problems and missings. I can imagine how much workhours are behind the projects and think lot of people would pay for it if need, just make it really top of others!

(Test environments: stock Gingerbread Galaxy S, and Galaxy Tab, with lot of deleted system app to free some resources... almost everything are very fast, but GO Launcher is rough...)

Lot of thanks, hope I can pay your work, and maybe can help on testing things in the future...
