So who is continuing the development of this app? When I set a personal background image for the app it looks perfect in portrait but when I turn it in to landscape the image becomes stretched...is there any way to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] Hacker101:
once i have the app set as a system app how to get the apps to stop after there downloaded showing up thee the home screens and just in the app drawer? I love MIUIv4 for droidX but not the no app drwer and apps intall right on to your homescreens like iPhone how do iget the apps only to show up in the app drwer and only on the home screens if i drag it out ???
[Android Apps and Games] Chatperdu:
Finally! A list view on my nexus. I didn't know that area of the launcher was called the "App drawer". Now I go research on how to make it the default app handler when I want to access the drawer. Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] jpsiemer:
AppDrawer is open source!

Just an FYI to everyone -- AppDrawer (formerly AltDrawer) is now open source!

Hopefully this will help speed up development, since I haven't had much time to contribute to the advancement of this project lately.

http://blog.jakedup.com/appdrawer-is-now-open-source/
[Android Apps and Games] ruvort:
That's awesome!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] jpsiemer:
Yes, definitely.

It would be nice to hit the xda news section so that other developers can become aware that the source is out there. I have sent tips to various Android blogs but nobody picked up the story.
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
If you can't customize dock icons in your launcher, I can't do anything :(
[Android Apps and Games] k9plums:
didn't think so, shame really, still I'll keep using it because it is wonderfull, and that widget idea in an earlier post would be awesome too one day
[Android Apps and Games] PollPixx:
Just fantastic on my arc, first time loading took some time, after that super smooth now, like the options too and replaced the default one from launcher pro with this one. Thank you very much for sharing this nice piece of work!

sent from arc or optimus 2x
[Android Apps and Games] letsgoflyers81:
Works pretty well on my HTC EVO 3D, however it only takes up about 2/3 of the screen, the rest is blank. I'm guessing this is due to the 540x960 resolution of the screen. I'd post a screen shot but there's no root yet. :(
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Strange. The whole drawer or just the background? It should adapt for any resolution :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] shahm0nsterr:
When trying to install the new version i get "There is a problem parsing the package"

The first apk worked fine
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
:confused:

It works for me... anyone else with this error in 0.2?
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
We reached 1000+ downloads! Thanks to all :D
[Android Apps and Games] letsgoflyers81:
Here's what I get, sorry for the poor picture quality.

I'll take a look, thanks ;)
[Android Apps and Games] androidino95:
This is some good ****, bro.

Needs some improvements tho.

Works G.R.E.A.T. on Wildfire, zero lag. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] uuzi:
VERY nice! works like a charm on bravo (cm7 nightly 124, ManU kernel 2.0 HAVS AXI BFS, viperboy mod)

one suggestion for a new feature though, it would be nice to have an option to hide the apps names in grid view. just a thought, will stick with ADWLauncher drawer till this is possible.

thx

uuzi

Add to Market !!
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Just set up the font size to 0 :D
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Screen resolution problem fixed. Wait for next release. Maybe in a few hours, maybe tomorrow ;)
[Android Apps and Games] fredmode01:
Great app mate, working perfectly on O2x

Apps list reminds me these old nokia phones I liked a lot.

Keep up the good work !
[Android Apps and Games] jankoboys6:
I really appreciate your efforts to develop and present a better drawer app for our charming devices. I encourage you to work on hard having in mind improvements. There are not a lot of practical and customizable drawer apps, so there is a lot of space to be the best on this one.

For now I can only give you suggestions what can be present in your newest version. I always have in mind that the drawer is the vital part of our devices but often they are very unpractical to use. Usually you have to search relatively too long that you find the desired app especially if you use a lot of em. So organization of apps is vital for a great drawer. Catalog organization is one way but why not to organize it with a better way like the All Apps Organizer does https://market.android.com/details?id=xxbcn.AllAppsOrganizerPlusB&feature=also_installed

Another thing which would be practical for some users is to enable apps title background not just choosing the color of fonts. I tried to use the drawer with the wallpaper background but I had a hard time to read those titles even when I set the font color to a optimum tone.

So that's it I hope you will succeed. Until then I wish you luck ^_^
[Android Apps and Games] aydc:
Nice app. I'm already using it. I wanted a list format app drawer like on WP7 and this app is what I was looking for.

Here's a crazy idea for you: Why don't you add the option to add live widgets to the app list and then turn this into a full homescreen app? All the homescreen launcher are copies of one another, this'll be different. :)
[Android Apps and Games] _Sparks:
Hi I really appreciate your work on this app as there are not many of this type of app available and I too wanted an app like this.

However why don't you add a app drawer similar to the one in the xperia arc launcher. That will b a great feature!:D That will be the main reason I will download this app for:D
[Android Apps and Games] aaddii9944:
installed it. used it. loved it

Really good app keep it up! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Willy318is:
I Love it by all means, that is really smooth on my DHD, and its so Beautiful, I just had to say WOW!

Superb Work friend.
[Android Apps and Games] shahm0nsterr:
So I copied the APK to my sd card instead of downloading from my phone directly and it worked :)
[Android Apps and Games] lupohirp:
hi xuso is a beautiful application!!!so smooth!!!!but i want to make LIST drawer for example permanent in my launcherpro(cause i like it so much).....how can i do it???i have an lg optimus one!!!thanks in advice!!
[Android Apps and Games] djsimonr:
great app,

running on samsung galaxy SII and it works perfectly.

i would like to see a page scroll like the standard TWLauncher but also beable to re-arrange apps to different pages :)

great work so far, thanks for sharing :)
[Android Apps and Games] shahm0nsterr:
Make a shortcut to this application on your launcher pro dock.

Press and hold the current launcher icon> Change shortcut> Application> Alt Drawer

You might want to download a custom icon for the launcher if you don't like the 3 lines.
[Android Apps and Games] lijujg:
Lovely app

works as advertised - love the font and icon size control!
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Launcher 7 is what you are looking for, I think ;)
[Android Apps and Games] raven369:
Like what I see so far. :D

Just needs 3 things:

1) Categories/Groups

2) Manually sort apps inside a Category/Group

3) Horizontal grid scrolling like TWLauncher
[Android Apps and Games] kkevin94:
I'd be cool with just adding horizontal pages and folders (Go Launcher style),
[Android Apps and Games] naijaguy:
Awesome sauce Drawer!!! Working smooth and nice on my Samsung Galaxy Tab...Thanks :-)
[Android Apps and Games] jjsoviet:
If this app manages to work flawlessly on Honeycomb, it would be a massive win.
[Android Apps and Games] parker09:
Is there a fix for 'scale', I run at 200dpi (Typhoon 3.4.1 - Android 2.3.4).

These are the results with compatibility mode [un-]check[ed].

If I uncheck the games work perfectly but the app drawer goes smaller scale.

If I check the box I get the app drawer working perfectly but some games don't work (example: below)
[Android Apps and Games] joshthewaster:
This is a great idea. No reason my launcher and my app drawer need to be the same program and this opens up so many possibilities. So far it works well on my NS but I look forward to more updates. Folders and different arrangements would be awesome. Also an option to make the background transparent (0-100) or colored and transparent would be cool.

Thanks again and keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] Thnikk:
I second the transparent app drawer request :)

Also, if at all possible, could you add an option to put the home icon in the lower left of the screen?
[Android Apps and Games] Cocolopes:
Great app...please if you make an horizontal grid...this will be perfect. Thank!
[Android Apps and Games] Wunako:
GREAT APP DRAWER Replacement i really love it and it has no lag on my G2 (Running CM7 latest nightly) i think with adding a few of the suggestions iv read on this thread this could be better any OEM App Drawer. great job keep it up
[Android Apps and Games] Infinimint:
Needs 4D. Looks good though, I appreciate your work.
[Android Apps and Games] drew_grant:
Same here. Otherwise it's great. Just can't use it full time because of that.
[Android Apps and Games] johnylim:
good drawer, may i request for Transparent background, and function like foldering a shortcut + folder icon changer.

thx, keep up a goodwork
[Android Apps and Games] deejaylobo:
I wonder if it could be possible to have widgets within the app drawer. Haha, like a launcher within a launcher.

Can someone please mirror the .apk? Multiupload and Rapidshare hate me. :(
[Android Apps and Games] yken:
Use all app organizer free. It has those futures.

https://market.android.com/details?id=xxbcn.AllAppsOrganizerFreeB&feature=search_result
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Fixed already for next release, just wait ;)

Those two options already added to the next release, too :)
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:

[Android Apps and Games] chainer1:
scrolling down in the drawer feels a bit slow for me, but really awesome work so far !!!
[Android Apps and Games] Munszu:
Sometimes, when I tap on the icon it takes too much time for the app to start. This happens usually, when I wake the phone. But otherwise your app looks really promising and I like it very much.

SGS(Cyanogenmod 7, Nightly 46)
[Android Apps and Games] MariusOX:
A bit slow for me too. Not like 1 or 2 seconds slow. Just dont feel like a part of Launcher Pro. Launching apps also is bit slow.

Also i would like to hide apps. like i can i Launcher Pro.
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Updated to 0.3.1

Improved general speed (first loading and launching apps)

Hardware acceleration enabled (Honeycomb tablets)

Other little changes

Can you tell me if launching app speed and first loading speed has been improved? :)
[Android Apps and Games] g4rb4g3:
I tried the latest release (0.3) and many programs won't start. With some I just get back to the launcher (like calc) with others I get a FC from AltDrawer (like contacts).

Tested on Desire Z with MIUI 1.7.1

I'll post a logcat when I'm back at home.
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Wow, that's new :confused: Try the 0.3.1...
[Android Apps and Games] g4rb4g3:
Look at the time, we posted in the same minute. I didn't know about the newer release by that time.

I tried the newer version and now it starts most of the apps but it still crashes with contacts or phone.
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Works great on my N1. Thanks for an excellent app!
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Well, really weird. Send me your logcat then :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
For those, who downloaded already 0.3.1, redownload and install it, sorry :(
[Android Apps and Games] jakeellis01:
crashes when i try to access the settings menu :/
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Have you tried to reinstall?

Delete the folder in: /data/data/com.xuso.altdrawer
[Android Apps and Games] letsgoflyers81:
The new version fixed the size issue on my EVO 3D! What would be great is to be able to add folders or categories instead of only having one long list.
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
I'm glad to hear that :)
[Android Apps and Games] jjsoviet:
Almost perfect. Now if you could just somehow hack the Honeycomb app drawer launcher (one on the top right) to launch your app drawer instead of default, it would take the cake. Do it bro!

Also, settings on the tablet version is inaccessible since the options softkey is missing. :O
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Hmm.. had not thought of that. Will try to add a button in bottom bar just for tablets for the next version ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Rimher:
The idea behind this is really cool, thanks developer.

The only downside is that the stock drawer from launcher pro is still waaay smoother.

But I love the possibility of customization that's behind the whole app...keep up the good work! :)
[Android Apps and Games] djfrost17:
this is one of my favorite apps....thanks!!!
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
0.3.2: Some user report that some apps were not opening. I found the problem -apps already opened, not opening from drawer-, but not the fix. For now, I've disabled the "Now the drawer closes when open an app" of 0.2 and it fixed it, but this is not definitive. Sorry, but I can't be @ 100% now :(
[Android Apps and Games] _Sparks:
@xuso can you please look at my suugestion(the quote above /\/\ ) :D
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
For that you already have the arc launcher :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] _Sparks:
Yes but I want to use Launcherpro, so if it is your app i can use Launcher pro and that.:D
[Android Apps and Games] uuzi:
nice! thx, this is now my standard drawer :)
[Android Apps and Games] Jens Christensen:
I'm falling in love with the list mode app drawer, so smooth, even on my lowly Optimus One running Launcher Pro. I wish you'd put this on the Market so I wouldn't have to check here for updates :-)
[Android Apps and Games] gcogger:
Folder Organizer will do that for you, including the option for icons or a list. It will only scroll vertically, though. In fact there's no reason you couldn't use it to replace the drawer in the launcher (just create a label containing all apps).

I'm not trying to put people off the drawer replacement here (I very much like the idea), just giving another option for people who may have different requirements.
[Android Apps and Games] BlackDino:
Can you add a feature to swipe to the left of right for a quick search?

If this is added its game over for any app drawers
[Android Apps and Games] Taylortron3030:
Attention DEV

Hi. I was really happy to find this app! It is an excellent option for people who use MIUI and would like to have an app drawer without a whole new launcher (although, I am using it with MIUI and a launcher... I love the list mode).

Problems:

Regrettably, after a few days use, I am experiencing the slow load time problem some people mentioned (about 5-15 seconds). I am no expert but I am going to assume that it has something to do with a)low memory conditions, b)caching issue of some kind, or c)android system killing the app.

The slow load times are NOT consistent but they are persistent. Some times (especially after recently using the app) the load time is very fast. Other times, usually if it has not been used in a while, it can take 10 or more seconds before the list populates.

Feel free to PM me if you want to know more or get some info from me that might help figure out a fix. I love the app and want to help. If you want, I could try to provide a video showing the types of load times I am experiencing.

Thx.
[Android Apps and Games] Hallahan:
Finally THE listview I always wanted in Launcherpro. Set yours to default and I am a happy man now...

If you are in need for a dutch translation just let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] tristan202:
I have no idea how the app is structured, but perhaps running a part of it as a service to keep it from getting killed would prevent the long loading times, apart from when it is first started.
[Android Apps and Games] Pfeffernuss:
Tried it on a Galaxy S2. Load-up is instantly, not having to wait whatsoever. Scrolling through the list or icons is buttery smooth.

Because of the lack of other functions (being able to hide apps for example) I'm gonna wait for the next version but very promising so far. Works like a treat.
[Android Apps and Games] g4rb4g3:
Sounds good to me too, a service that listens on intents like new app installed... it should make a list of all installed apps and update it if a app got installed/uninstalled.

And then the program itself that "just" displays the app list from the service.

The worst case would then be that the first time you start the app it would take a bit, but afterwards it should start pretty fast.
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Thanks, I'll try to figure it out when I find some time...

For the Contacts problem and not opening apps, you tried 0.3.2? Still happening?

And for the Maps problem, yeah, I don't had realized, I'll take a look.
[Android Apps and Games] EXV:
these are the two features i'm waiting for. would work perfectly alongside Zeam!
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Will have to wait a little, sorry, but I prefer to have one feature working perfect that 10 working bad :) I've to fix first all the bugs and lacks as an app launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] g4rb4g3:
Yes I used 0.3.2, the problem that apps don't start is gone but with contacts and phone i get a fc for altdrawer.
[Android Apps and Games] Mazda:
LOVE this app and all the current features but just like everyone else on here, I would like these features to be included soon....PLEASE!! (will donate if I have to, just PM me)

•Hide an app of the list

•Edit name and/or icon of an app
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
I hope to have ready at least one of those features for next week ;) I have an important exam next monday, so, this weekend, I'm a little busy :o
[Android Apps and Games] PollPixx:
For some reason the loading time fluctuates from superfast to more than 10 seconds, no idea why, but the occasionally slow startup time is not workable for me... When this is fixed I def. will use it again

sent from arc or optimus 2x
[Android Apps and Games] dud3me:
Does this drain battery fast? And on a low res screen It looks a little blurry or at least not as good as on lpp, but other than that seems great!
[Android Apps and Games] Flozzo:
I was bored so I translated the app to Dutch -- See attachment
[Android Apps and Games] letsgoflyers81:
I use Folder Organizer for folders on my home screen and it works great. But I'd like the ability to have categories or folders in the app drawer as well. I've seen some third party launchers that have this in their app drawer and it seems like a handy feature.
[Android Apps and Games] _Sparks:
so xuso are u going to add that arc launcher drawer into your app?
[Android Apps and Games] marckazen:
The slow loading speed is just a symptom of first start up - once it's in memory, it starts fast - the issue is that we need to find a way to keep the app in memory so that it doesn't have to go through the icon load each time. I'm seeing about 5-7 second lag when it's not in memory on a HTC G2 overclocked to 1.2ghz. When it is in memory, it's pretty much instant. Oh, and this is with 85 apps on the screen (5 columns, 17 rows)
[Android Apps and Games] Sinth:
Smooth

Works really smooth and i like it, thanks :)

Using Wildfire with CM7 latest stable version along with Zeam Launcher as launcher.

Here are my thoughts so far (grid mode setting used):

Bugs

* The wallpaper in the launcher does not align with the wallpaper in altdrawer IF fullscreen mode is off.

* Fontsize in settings does not reflect current fontsize if changed, always displays 12.

* When holding the device in landscape mode with sensor enabled the altdrawer will start in landscape mode switch to portrait. (if setting is portrait in altdrawer).

If the devices sensor is disabled this does not happen, it starts in portrait directly as it should.

* Create shortcut does not work for me, it brings me back to my launcher but does not create a shorcut.

Suggestions

* Hide the scrollbar at start.

* Hide altdrawer icon in the grid/list.

Requests

* Search function that filters the apps shown in list/grid, for example typing: "root" would show all apps that have "root" in their name.
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
And about the search function, yeah, some user tell me that a few days ago. Added to the main post ;)

Thanks ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Thnikk:
A bit of a delayed reaction, but you are my hero for adding the home button position :'D Thank you so much!

No more accidentally opening the phone :D
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
I'm glad to hear that :)

BTW, I've almost ready the "hide any app" function :D And a few tweaks more ;)
[Android Apps and Games] deejaylobo:
10 seconds to load up my apps. :(

This is great though. Looking forward to some speed tweaks. An option to customize the font would be super. Also, folders!
[Android Apps and Games] Arbelzapf:
Is it neccessary to restart the Launcher when adding a shortcut?

Aside from that: great improvements! I hope you can squeeze a little bit more speed out of it
[Android Apps and Games] Sinth:
Naw didn't work for me even if i restart the launcher, as a matter of fact the shortcut function doesn't work for me on with the following launchers: zeam, launcher pro, adw. It would be nice to hear what launcher it works on so i can test with that :D

I would also like to add one more request:

Setting to reset the scrolling position to top at start/show of drawer. As it is now the last position is remembered when it's drawer is shown.
[Android Apps and Games] Thnikk:
WOAH! I just realized that you added an app drawer to the MIUI launcher!

*clap*
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
It works for me with ADW and wihout restart ::confused:
[Android Apps and Games] jjsoviet:
Just for lols, I installed Alt Drawer to a demo Galaxy Tab 7-inch at Best Buy which completely sped up the navigation. Also included in my tablet trolling are using ADW as the main launcher and putting Nyan Cat as a live wallpaper.

Good times.
[Android Apps and Games] Sinth:
This is what i get after trying to create shortcut in altdrawer:

Dalvik Debug Monitor - Log

07-10 10:29:37.267: WARN/ActivityManager(165): Permission Denial: broadcasting Intent { act=com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT (has extras) } from com.xuso.altdrawer (pid=5638, uid=10071) requires com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT due to receiver org.zeam/org.zeam.InstallShortcutReceiver
[Android Apps and Games] xuso:
Sorry, but the permission is defined at manifest. When you install AltDrawer you'll see that it has that permission, have you not disabled it with Cyanogen, right?

Anyone else with this problem? I have also installed Zeam to try and it works, too :/
[Android Apps and Games] Sinth:
Naw nothing is disabled regarding permissions, when the app is installed it doesn't ask for ANY permissions for me :/
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
Awesome! I have been looking for this for weeks! Very nice app,

Two things, though:

Bugs or things:

1.The smoothness, someone already told you about the LauncherPro app drawer and you replied. Would love it even more.

2. Font size is always set at 22 when you go back to settings, so you must remember which value it was set.

Request:

1. Support for LauncherPro/ADW icons pack.

I will install it again when the close AltDrawer when opening app is fixed, because my LG Optimus Black doesn't handle too well the performance with apps in the background...

Muchísimas gracias por la app, es genial y ya lo has visto con 17 páginas en 5 dias!! :)
