Hey does anyone know how to get the rotary app drawer like in this pic:

I don't see the option for it anywhere, do I need go launcher ex beta or something?
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
That's a transition effect. The screen shot caught it mid "roll"
[Android Apps and Games] borijess:
Its called chariot.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Can this be made standard in the official version? Or maybe as an option?

[THEMED][APP] GO Launcher EX.... Dark Menus..
[Android Apps and Games] kumarshah:
Does the new beta fix the widget-icon overlap issues?

I really want to use Go Launcher, but the overlap issues are stopping me at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
yes it still has widget icon overlap issues
[Android Apps and Games] liamR:
Hi guys,

I'm using the Go Launcher (v2.39) on my SGS2 and loving it.

The only problem I have is that it's a bit laggy, it's not as fast and smooth as the original Samsung launcher nor Launcher Pro+.

Is it just me ?

How can I stop the elastic effect ? Is there a recommended settings for SGS2 ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
I've noticed some lag lately too...which is weird since this is supposed to be the fastest launcher. I started using Beautiful widgets, too....but in other launchers I've tried, the exact same widget configuration that I use in Go wouldn't affect performance. I've also noticed certain transition animations don't lag as much as others.

EDIT: The beta 2 fixed this!
[Android Apps and Games] liamR:
Good to hear that, I'll try to update to the new beta...

btw,

If I install the beta version will I get a notice when a new final version comes out ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
Had to step back to ADW EX launcher because of the lag. Like my phone slowed down to the point I deleted some apps thinking they were the culprits, but they werent. Then the battery drain was another beast in itsself..
[Android Apps and Games] liamR:
I updated to 2.50 beta, it's still laggy :(
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Scratching my head
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
Yeah it's going to be like that for a minute. I was using like 15 screens, thought that was the issue, so I went down to 9, then 7, then five,s till lagged. Also I think those Go widgets are a problem too
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
It's strange, it seemed to not lag anymore...then, I customized the images in one of my toggle widgets, and the image files were each about twice as big. I experienced lag again, thought it was due to the widgets, but now when I delete the widget it still lags...weird. I guess it IS beta ;)
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
That is really strange, i do not experience any lag at all. I have only 3 pages (dont need more) left is Pure Widget with Facebook and Tweeter, Extended controls and some toggles, central is clock weather and smart dial, and right is agenda widget. I also have themes applied and do not change icons one by one. I only had freezing problems but they are gone when i disabled Multi Picture Live Wallpaper (seems not to play well with Go Launcher). Transition between the pages is instant, as well as opening of the app drawer, where i have 6 folders with all my apps, the drawer only takes some time to populate after reboot or soft reset, otherwise it is instant.
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
If new versions of GO break more than they fix, try an older version.http://androidunderground.clanteam.com/androidfiles/files/golauncherex.html

I only have 5 home screens + seven widgets. I never had any lag, but recent versions of GO often need redraw my screens on my phone after exiting memory-intensive apps like a web browser full of open tabs.

Then I went back to v2.27 and all the redraw issues were gone. As an added benefit I got the old uncluttered menu back.

Too bad that the Android Market doesn't have a roll back feature to go back to older versions of apps. Newer is not always better.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
I'm with the two folks above ^

I just don't understand this lag hang up everyone has. I never experience it in my day to day use. Can anyone post a video of this lag you're speaking of?
[Android Apps and Games] tobias14:
it is a bit laggy on my SGS II with 5 homescreens as well..
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
I dunno about other people, but I probably didn't explain mine enough I guess. Now that I think about it, I wouldn't say it's really lag, it just seems like the homescreen transition is really choppy looking. It didn't use to happen, but then after one update it got a little choppy. Then ANOTHER update kinda fixed it for a bit, then it gets choppy again. And the beta didn't fix it, and the beta 2 seemed to fix it, but as of now it's choppy again. Strangely, my app drawer opens fine and the scroll between my pages in there is smooth. It's mostly just the homescreen that runs slow...

I have an Atrix with a 1.1 OC processor, and I get like 3600-3700 on quadrant (dunno how accurate that app is), which seems purdy fast to me.

I'm also only using 3 screens with mostly app icons, and widgets consisting of simple calendar 4x2, beautiful widget superclock 4x2 w/ weather, widgetsoid toggle widget, poweramp 4x1 widget and some go sms widget just to use space lol. Of those, I feel like the beautiful and widgetsoid widgets might be bogging it down...but from what you guys have said, some of you seem to have more widgets on more screens with no issues.

I dunno, rolling back to an older version actually kind of sounds like a good idea to me now that you say it!

I'm also still running Motoblur so that doesn't help ;) And it's a pretty muddled down ROM that isn't really supported as of now, so I could switch to a faster one.
[Android Apps and Games] liamR:
I installed the v2.27 and everything is fast again.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] tomeks:
why not 2.50?

sent from my GalaxyS2
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
Hey so the 2.50 update arrived in the market and I installed that instead of going to an older version, and I have not seen lag since then, if you wanna try that instead!
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
Yeah according to the change log it seems to have some bugfixes, it doe not say anything about speed or lag fixes but it feels ok for me.
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
Yeah I didn't notice anything about fixing lag, but I'm sure just a cleaner code for things seemingly unrelated helps. Now I'm just hoping for the overlap fix in larger grid sizes!
[Android Apps and Games] liamR:
You should try the Launcher Pro+ or the original Samsung launcher and then you'll notice the lag in Go Launcher... The v2.27 is also faster and smoother than v2.50.
[Android Apps and Games] stylez:
Using Go Launcher for several months and updated with every market release, never any lag except what you expect when running low on system resources / phone been on for long time...

Have used LP Pro+ and find it laggy on desktop full loop...

Maybe it's phone/os that's causing problems for some?

Did send a message to developers regarding customization of created folder image in app draw and also about in vertical app draw would be easier to implement swype <> recent etc.
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
I have Launcher Pro + and the original Launcher TX and do not see any speed difference , so maybe it is your ROM that lags.
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
The behavior of GO (does it lag or not, is 2.27 faster than 2.50, does it need to redraw your screens often or not) for different users varies wildly.

It doesn't just depend on your phone or ROM, but also on what you put on your home screens, whether you use transitions or switch 'em off, and how you configure all the other bells and whistles in the GO settings screens. The possibilities are endless.

What works for you doesn't necessarily works for someone else, and vice versa. There are simply way too many variables here.
[Android Apps and Games] ipawd1:
So, how is everybody's battery life with Go Launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Battery life's isn't an issue for me so much. But then again I'm a person who has access to a charger almost at ALL times throughout my day.

Edit: rogier666 has hit the nail on the head. There are FAR too many variables from phone to phone, user to user, setup to setup, to be able to compare. One users phone configuration and setup is most likely pretty different from the next user.
[Android Apps and Games] thebeardedchild:
I can get two days out of my phone without having to completely avoid using it, which is what I've always gotten. Basically, using Go Launcher doesn't change my battery life in the slightest :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] stylez:
Exactly ;)
[Android Apps and Games] shreyskywalker:
I'd LOVE it if you could make the dock icons larger so that I can use 4 dock icons like this!

[Android Apps and Games] anil190185:
How id you hide "All" , "Recent" and "Running" icon from top?
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
It's an option in the latest beta.
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Official update is in the market now. Supports removing tabs in the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] eriksoto:
Well the Beta fixed the double vibrate when pressing and holding the screen to bring up the widget/Gowidget menu.

Now I only get the double vibrate when I press and hold down on an app/widget. Still the best launcher on the market.
[Android Apps and Games] KlugN:
One thing that I would love to see is the option to change the folder icons based on theme.

By this I mean that if I choose, for example, to run the stock GO Theme but I want the Black Chrome icons AND the Touchwiz folders, I would like to be able to mix and match all parts of the themes.

I love GoSMS and GoLauncherEx, and I have changed almost all the icons in the APK because I love colored icons.

You can download the modded apk from here, also include GoSMS 3.65 skinned.

Feel free to extract and use all the icons in the APK files.

[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
Would it not be easier to creat a skin? So it could be applied to any built of Go Launcher or Go SMS.

Can anyone tell me, is it possible to hide locked apps in the Task Manager widget?

**EDIT** Also, can I change the number of scrolling docks at the bottom? I only want two...
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
You can change the dock. Don't think you can hide the locked apps tho..

For the dock

Menu>preferences>screen settings>dock row

*insert sig here*
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Ahh, I totally missed that setting screen. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] preclajsz:
Hi guys i have an ask is it posible to delete dock? i mean dock with icons. thx i wanna have "bigger" homepages THX
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
If i understand your question correcrly, yes, You can hide the dock and icons, but you won't be able to use the space that the dock usually occupies. meaning, you won't be able to place Widgets in the docks spot. You could put icons there and just have the dock with no background.

[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Also, betta 2.53 is available for download if anyone wants to give it a shot.

Love this launcher. So smooth and great features. Only complaints are the lack of a 3D app drawer, vertical scrolling in the app drawer is a little too much, and some of the UI elements make it seem a little tacky.
[Android Apps and Games] gcogger:
Um - too much what?
[Android Apps and Games] andrubuntoid:
Looks and runs great. Running on nook color any possibility of using more rows and columns or getting drawer icons to display their full name for us with large screens?
[Android Apps and Games] toebee76:
This is what I want the most. The option to remove tabs from the app drawer. It would be great if I could remove the recent app tab or all the tabs to get a bigger app drawer.

+1 for the calendar too.

Otherwise this is my launcher of choice. Great options like folders in the app drawer, but still runs butter smooth.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
I've noticed a really annoying bug. The apps in the app drawer isn't responding when i press them. I have to press them like 5 times before an app launches. Doesn't happen all the time, but especially when the app is already running.
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
I have noticed the same thing on my device, for example when email is synchronizing it doesn't open when tapping on the icon.
[Android Apps and Games] kantbstopped519:
idk if this issue is caused by this beta version, but i just installed it, then for some reason in Go SMS when a new message would show up, it would vibrate & show up in the status bar like normal, then just delete itself. this never happened to me before so i was assuming this go launcher beta might have something to do with it
[Android Apps and Games] ccctexas:
THEMES

Yes - It would be great to have "themes" on the widgets you are creating. Even if, without themes, they looked alike...example:the contacts widget and the GO SMS widget do not "look alike" - there is a nice blue top on the SMS, almost none and clear top on the Contacts.
[Android Apps and Games] diwani4u:
hey this is awesome... but i just noticed one thing... message widget doesn't show up the contact name if the contact is not saved with contact number with country code.

Is there any way to stop the folder icons from showing a preview of what's in the folder? I want to use some nice folder icons, but they're always covered up by the contents preview 'mini icons'.

[Android Apps and Games] Sinistah_:
I use one screen on the desktop and I HATE the fact when being on the desktop it still has a lot of bounce and the desktop is still able to move around. If there was a way to turn this off I'd be happy (adjusting the bounce and speed does nothing). And also the "share" button when u hit menu.. Really annoying when u press it by accident. Wish you could move that to settings section of the launcher instead of where it is.

Another slight downfall is how you can't really change the highlight color and it's just green.

Otherwise I really like this launcher and would make this my default launcher if not for those two main problems for me.

I have one problem which i dunno how to solve,i only have horizontal and vertival move for apps drawer,i dont have any 3d effects in there,doesnt show anything related...how can i fix this? im using latest version in market.

Thank you very much.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Set the app drawer scroll to what you want, be it vertical or horizontal. Then go to effects setting and choose the transition effect you want.

Example:

(from your home screen, not app drawer screen) Menu> preferences > app drawer settings > scrolling orientations > horizontal

Then.

Menu > preferences > effects settings > horizontal scrolling effects > (your choice of effect)

Same goes for vertical. However, vertical scrolling only has one 3d effect available as of today's update in the market.

Hope that helps. Enjoy.

That's one hell of a launcher. Very good with a lot of options. However, am I the only one that can't use the search button to actually search? Pressing it does nothing, and long pressing it just brings up the voice search.

I used to use that function a lot, especially in the app drawer, where it helped me find programs quite fast. Also other launchers have that option, can't believe I can't use it with GO Launcher.

any fix ?
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
Not experiencing more battery drain than usual on my device with Go Launcher EX installed. Have you tried to pinpoint what is consuming battery on your device during the day? There are so many applications that can produce heavy battery drain like some live WP or some applications that prevent that the phone gets into sleep.
[Android Apps and Games] XmUrF:
Very strange, because I really don't have search function in the app drawer. Ah well, if it's only me I guess it's my fault :).
