Hi, everyone... We've now posted Claystone v2.3 to the Google Play store ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.claystoneinc ) including the following changes:

Introduction of Contacts stack hierarchy

Introduction of Web Sites stack

Fixes to Facebook stack

Removed Olympics stack

Misc. usability fixes

Introduction of in-stack ads

Also: We've updated Claystone Pro to remove advertisements found in the news stacks of the free version. For those users who were kind enough to help us test our prototypes a little while ago, I'll be PM'ing you with information on how to get a free copy - thanks, again! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
UPDATE: We've now posted a new version of Claystone (v2.4) to the Play Store, including some of the following updates:

Introduced support for new Blueberry + Avenge themes

New Weather stack

New Photos/Videos stack

Added support for sharing

Ability to hide apps from Quick Launch

Fixes to Twitter/Facebook stacks

We're really excited about this latest release (especially the themes, Avenge and Blueberry) and would love to hear what you think. ;)

Attached some screens to preview. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mad-monk:
People of claystone, the launcher is just great,just love the avenge theme.

One thing i would like to ask(maybe is asked for a bunch of time's)can you make a stack where i/we can move my widget's into...just like you did with bookmarks but then for my personal installed widgets....greatings mike
[Android Apps and Games] k4p741nkrunch:
Holy crap!

I didn't even realize there were themes in the latest release!! Avenge looks AWESOME!

Thank you for my free pro copy! I've got at least ten of my friends running this now.
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Hi, mad-monk... Glad you asked; one of the areas we've been investigating is the integration of widgets in a manner that makes sense within the Claystone environment. We've got some different ideas kicking around and are hopeful we'll have something to share in the very near future! :)
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Hey, k4p741nkrunch... Glad to hear you're enjoying the app and new themes. Really appreciate you spreading the word! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] k4p741nkrunch:
Some of the new features you included like SD card photos and videos and the settings panel for each stack are AWESOME. I love that my quick launch is now only 15 of my most used apps. Much more usable now.

Also, seriously this Avenge theme is nuts. I feel like my phone just came back from the future. xD. It works really great if you enable the system background in the preferences.

One suggestion, perhaps there could be a transition animation between Claystone and my home launcher. Right now when I hit home in Claystone it loads up a black screen for a few seconds then opens my app drawer of my launcher.

Claystone is getting better and better each time. It's becoming exactly what I thought it would be and I'm glad I'm on this boat early!

*Side-Note* Is there a way to get a Play Store stack with recommended apps instead of Amazon?
[Android Apps and Games] mad-monk:
Can't wait for the near future then...and while your add it create some more themes like avenge but with other combination of bright collors like grean/purple or orange/grey keep on the good development great mike
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Appreciate the kind words, glad you're enjoying it! At the moment we don't offer Play-centric stacks, but it's a feature we've previously included and may bring back in a future release.

Thanks for the suggestions!
[Android Apps and Games] neuropsychosis:
Any plans od an hd version? It looks grainy on phones like the s2 and up

This post was pulled out of my arse.
[Android Apps and Games] mad-monk:
Looks great on my s2
[Android Apps and Games] donwhann:
Great launcher, so different..... :). Is there a way to get the UK amazon app store instead of USA, plus all the sports and news reports seem to USA related, or am I missing something... Otherwise, fantastic.......
[Android Apps and Games] VictoriaSeniuk:
Awesome! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Thanks for the kind words! Geo-targeted app store stacks could be in a future release, but we'll need to work out a few kinks in the meantime.
[Android Apps and Games] raheeljessa:
Claystone Ideas

What I would really like is panels showing messages that you can read and respond to from the launcher itself (no need for an sms app)

Would also be nice to have a panel showing your call logs apart from the contacts panel. That way we can see recent calls and call directly from there (makes life easier).

Cheers! Wont need to buy spb shell anymore!! :D
[Android Apps and Games] asqwrd:
any chance of a theme like google now cards being made that would be cool
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Thanks for the suggestions! There's a ton we'd like to do with Claystone, but we're a small group and one of the challenges we face is not just getting the new features in, but ensuring they're integrated in a way that a:) works and, b) makes sense.

I can tell you, though, that we'll take a look at these and see where they might fall on the app's roadmap for future releases. Thanks, again! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
We're always on the lookout for new ideas re: themes, so we'll keep this one in our back pocket - thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] 2390:
Hey. I love the kindle fire launcher and the carousel however I always wanted widgets added and I wondered if you could add a widget stack.
[Android Apps and Games] mad-monk:
Why is the website down
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
It seems like the app is taken off the Play Store, and the website is not renewed. Most probably the dev has given up the project or something :/
[Android Apps and Games] mad-monk:
Thats a bommmer...coz the launcher was pretty promising
[Android Apps and Games] viijay4b7:
Not found on play store..
[Android Apps and Games] chrisclaystone:
Sad to say guys that we couldn't continue developing the app. We had built a great following, but not enough of one to justify continuing development.. we all had to get day jobs. We thought we would continue to find the time to make updates here and there but we found we just couldn't do it... to much else going on. Hence why we went out with a wimper not a bang.

Thanks to all those on XDA and elsewhere who supported us, helped test, gave us feedback, were critical, were supportive, you name it. Thanks!!!
[Android Apps and Games] badbojus:
it looks very nice, i must to try it, i want to change stock DjangoManouche X 1.2.1 launcher :)
[Android Apps and Games] Equaknox:
Equaknox

Hello Sir, I know I am bot late in the game regarding this launcher, but i am liking this a lot--one thin,,for some reason when i try to launch or log in to Twitter & FaceBook, it will not do anything. Twitter will tell me No internet connection, and Facebook will do nothing--any advise. Running on a HTC One --
[Android Apps and Games] mad-monk:
Just downloaded it again. ..it's stil a great launcher working great on my note3...to bad no further development greats mike
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
That's great - glad to hear it!
[Android Apps and Games] hakan1911:
Great look fast and smooth but once time force close

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] cronosxp:
Looks great and i've given it a go on my Desire. But I keep returning to the Sense because I need the system included htc widgets to load for email and calendar (3rd one for calendar ;)). None of the preinstalled htc widgets are actually available.
[Android Apps and Games] TDuran:
see? i started the calendar request, but obviously i'm not the only one! come on dev! lets do this!!! :p
[Android Apps and Games] tgtoys:
Really great concept, I like where this is going!

Would be great to see:

- Stacks for running apps (for better multi-tasking, think WebOS on the HP Touchpad, I think that would be a great direction for this launcher!)

- Option to remove title bar at top of each screen (to open up more screen space, personally the title bar is unnecessary for me so the option to use it or not would be nice)

- Drag widgets across screens (easier to move)

Issues:

Force close repeatedly when pressing Panel Button (middle button in dock)

I just installed so I'll come back with more feedback, but it's a great start! Thanks for the app!
[Android Apps and Games] TDuran:
yeah running apps page would be awesome too! with the calendar, and running apps pages, this would blow GO Launcher and ICS Launcher out of the water!
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Hmm. I received an error from the Market, but it was tied to an external widget and not Claystone-related. I'm hoping this was it. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Yeah, we definitely need to work on integrating the HTC Sense widgets. I know it's not in the mix for the next release, but given their popularity I'd be surprised if we don't support them sooner rather than later.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Great, great feedback - thanks.

Re: running apps - we have a debug setup right now that features that option as a 4th tab in the App Drawer panel. Once we can settle down a few bugs related to it, it's in.

Funny you mention hiding the title bar, as that's another feature that's currently being played around with. The key is doing so in a manner that doesn't confuse the user (with no title in the panel for navigation) and looks good w/ the cropped panel. I'll keep you posted.

This is the first I've heard of a FC related to the 3D overview button, though. Does it just persistently happen, or is it triggered by certain events?

Thanks for the help!
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Haha. I'll see what we can do! ;) Thanks for the support...
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Okay, time to post the latest release. Hope to have it available - alongside launch bar customization - via Market sometime in the next hour or so.

Thanks again to everyone for such kick-ass feedback! The XDA community's been huge for us in developing this and we couldn't do it without you.

Edit: Now added! Will be available once Android Market refreshes - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.claystoneinc&hl=en
[Android Apps and Games] TDuran:
woot woot!
[Android Apps and Games] Blackyx007:
DAMN this Launcher rocks :D

I used it for 10 minutes and I think I'm gonna stay with this launcher for a while :p
[Android Apps and Games] chrisclaystone:
Poll?

We are a small team, so as much as we would love to work on everything that has been suggested all at once... it's probably better that we focus a bit to get features out on a timely basis. Would you guys like to see a poll on what we should work on next? If so, what would you like to see in the poll?

Some suggestions based on what we've seen here (and stuff you guys haven't heard about yet)

1. Calendar widget (seems popular)

2. Facebook widget? (I think I saw that mentioned)

3. The ability to share stacks of contents with friends? (Yes we are working on that!)

4. Stack management (think re-order items in the stacks, move stuff from one stack to another, all in the 3d view, also planned internally)

5. Better support for websites in our browser (I believe java is spotty)

Anything else?

Edit: We are always working on stability and performance. So no need to add that! It's always a top priority.
[Android Apps and Games] TDuran:
calendar fo-sho... and stack management would be great, along with better browser... but yeah, lets see a poll if its not too much trouble...
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Haha - awesome. Love to hear that.
[Android Apps and Games] leonardoaraujo:
unfortunately did not work for me .. gets to open, but I can not click anything, simply does not work anything, but it sure is not your app, it's great! congratulate you for your "creation"

For the record: my phone is a Motorola Cliq, CM 2.3 (3d always in trouble) affff

But tested on a ZTE Racer, your app is beautiful, it's a shame that I with a MOTOROLA phone CyanogenMod running, you can not run it and a ZTE phone with inferior hardware, running 2.1 works perfectly.

going back to 2.1 and see if this damn phone (Motorola Cliq) if you can run your app.
[Android Apps and Games] D_one:
Lol...I have the opposite problem, every home screen I add goes in front of my home screen in the stack....
[Android Apps and Games] D_one:
I'm running fine on Motorola atrix with cm7
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Totally understandable. The ability to re-order the arrangement of home screen panels is definitely on the agenda.
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Okay, need to check out for the evening, but please... keep all this great feedback coming!

It's already led to more than a few discussions amongst the team and we're looking forward to integrating some of the feature requests listed thus far! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] KlugN:
Big +1 for the calendar widget.

Especially if you could integrate a toggle between standard calendar view and agenda like is available in LPP and APW widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] werker123:
Great launcher:D thanks

the only thing that is less good is the scrolling speed.. for the rest it is awesome:) and maybe some more transistion types? maybe with a normal one it might be a bit faster on my low end phone. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18396953&postcount=350

1 more great thing is that it's able to have a transperant status bar:) that's something that makes it look way better in my rom:)
[Android Apps and Games] Subplanar:
This is a really cool launcher. Running it on my epic 4g with CM7 and it's like butter. One thing though, why is the browser all the way down on the bottom stack? I'm not complaining, it just seems kind of out of the way :o
[Android Apps and Games] TDuran:
Not sure if this is a bug or if my phone is just being stupid... but since i use my calendar and the widget isnt ready yet (shamless plug for a calendar widget again) I attempted to add the calendar app to my home page but was unable to delete it. I could add it to other pages and when I attempted to delete it on the HOME page, it stayed there but deleted from the added page. Hope that made sense...
[Android Apps and Games] DRBEAN:
Definitely gonna check this out.
[Android Apps and Games] jeremw62:
Pleasee. Upload files for my hd2android gingernread.downlload via xda don't start and market is not compatible with my device.thank's

Sorry for my english
[Android Apps and Games] FatherD:
Calendar Pad widget works perfectly with this :)
[Android Apps and Games] nitens:
Help... Wallpaper dimensions busted

Installed this launcher on my desire with Oxygen 2.3.1.

Seems to have locked the wallpaper resolution to 480x800. When I go back to launcher pro I cannot add a 960x800 wallpaper for scrolling. It seems that my selection screen is limited to 480x800.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: just re-installed Oxygen and all fixed. Don't know if it was the oxy re-install or the reboot, but it's fixed now.
[Android Apps and Games] catman51:
Love it!! Just one request, my scrolling widgets don't work. Hoping there will be an update, Executive Assistant no scroll, and Scrolling Stocks and Folder Organizer show the border, but nothing inside? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
I'm getting the sense the calendar is a big request. ;)

We've already started discussing the best way to integrate via an interactive panel display. I'll keep you posted as to how it's progressing!
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Can't say anything definitive about getting more transition types in, but it's becoming an oft-mentioned feature request and I'm curious to see what we can do with it.

Thanks, werker123!
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Hmmm. Which calendar app is that? We'll have to check it out.
[Android Apps and Games] claystoneinc:
Hey, catman51 - Unfortunately, scrolling widgets aren't supported in this release. It is something we've looked at - and has been a frequent mention - but I'll pass on another '+1' to examine this request to the team.

Thanks for trying us out!

PS: Okay, NOW I'm checking out for the evening. ;) Please, keep the feedback coming, though. Great stuff for us to use in helping to determine where to go next.
[Android Apps and Games] catman51:
Thank you so much. After trying every other launcher on the market, this looks like the best of the bunch, so I will wait patiently!!
[Android Apps and Games] JVogler:
I just found this thread, and have read most of the posts. I read early on someone having compatibility issues on 960x540 screen. But, then I've also read people running happily on Atrix. Anyone know if 960x540 is working correctly at the moment?

thanks

-Josh-
[Android Apps and Games] tgtoys:
- How about also adding a favorite apps stack? That way we can add pages for our go-to apps. (I'm trying to think of ways to use the 3D overview more often, as that is the coolest feature IMO and a definite selling point of this launcher.)

- Idea for the no title bar/confusion of which page your own issue...how about the page name appears in bigger bold words when you first swipe to that page (as part of the transition or something), then quickly disappears. Just an idea...

- Haven't been able to replicate the FC since I posted...maybe it just had to load into the memory or something, who knows.

Thanks again, good luck. I have several devices (old and new), including a Honeycomb tablet, PM me if you need a tester for pre-release builds.
[Android Apps and Games] rahul.dhaka:
Hey I can't install this app from the market. Says its incompatible with My Vodafone Desire HD. I live in India. Could send me an alternate link so i could try this Launcher? It looks kickass!
[Android Apps and Games] Vulpix:
Maybe you can try to include social widgets for FB and Twitter as a paid option? :D Actual scrolling panels for social widgets would be awesome without having to have a few different widgets from different authors.
[Android Apps and Games] jackleung:
Quite promising so far. Some suggestions as follow after playing it for a short while:

1. Add home screen: It should have a pop up box to "confirm" the title name instead of "New Home Screen". Users most likely need to change the name most of the time.

2. Add Web page: It should provide a way to pull it from the default browser (and/or Claystone browser) as well.

3. I still haven't figure out how to open the browser's bookmarks and history within the browser. Need easier UI for that.

4. Is there a way to drag an item from the content to the home screen?

5. User would expect the "back" button go back to previous stack/page/panel but right now just doing nothing most of the time.

Bug:

1. I can't seem to remove the "news and weather" widget from the home screen.

2. In "My Apps", menu -> add doesn't seem to do anything. I hopes there would be an options to create folders to organize the apps.
[Android Apps and Games] delmarz:
this is great apps! can you post direct link apk if possible?..thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] sapperpipo:
this launcher is bad ass I cant believe how awesome it is I am running it on my Motorola Photon,, thanks for all the hard work
[Android Apps and Games] varshil:
Hey its an amazing launcher.....

Just hv a suggestion..

Y cant u make a 3d animation fr recent applications lyk seen in windows
[Android Apps and Games] TDuran:
It was actually the stock calendar app that i attempted to put on the page, not the widget itself.
[Android Apps and Games] ultima888:
This is the first time I saw a launcher has an instruction menu! And I actually read it too!! This is a wonderful launcher! It has lots of potential! Very different from all the other launcher out there. Hopefully this will get better in the near future as there are some functions lacking right now, I'm currently using N1 CM7 w/ Go Launcher:

- Swipe up/down action customization - this is big for me...I'm so used to lock my phone using LockMyDroid with a swipe down action...

- A MUCH better browser - I know the original CM7 browser is just hard to beat, but no bookmark?

- Easier launcher bar/dock bar organization.

- Easier Panel organization - changing the order of the panels

- Screen Auto-rotation

- Contact widget - never found a good contact widget until I use Go Launcher...

- Support multi-touch in photo gallery - but do we need another photo gallery...same as the file manager, there are just so many great ones out there.

That's about it for now. Will definitely keep this launcher installed, but will be using my default launcher for the time being. Looking forward to your future updates to this great launcher. Thanks for the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] shrenn:
wallpaper not coming properly

overall an awesome launcher 3d effects but the app is so smooth an light to run... its awesome i loved it :)

But i am facing a problem here with wallpaper, when i am setting the new wallapper half of my screen is showing old wallpaper and another half as new wallpaper. its basically splitting wallpaper in 2 vertical halfs. :(:(

I am using Moto Miletone XT720.
[Android Apps and Games] Amalgation:
This is one awesome launcher, I have a lot of colleagues here who are idevice fans who will be very jealous of this.

I would like to request that LANDSCAPE support be implemented to support tablets that work best in landscape mode.

Will you allow 3rd party distribution, so custom ROM cooks can integrate this into their roms ?
[Android Apps and Games] dancer_69:
The latest update is the only that doesn't crash every 1-2 minutes on my device(huawei Ideos X5). Finnaly I can use claystone launcher. I don't know what you changed from update 11 to improve stability so much, but thanks.

-Please bring back the ability to open actions menu when push/hold on titlebar, when panel is full there is no way to access it.

- When a widget resized to takes all available space, there is no way to actually exit from resize mode, because there isn't free space to tap for exit. This could be solved with tap on titlebar also.

- Rearrange of panels, ability to choose default panel and to move widgets to other panels(or a cut/copy option like on shortcuts popup)

could be nice futures, to extend the launcher' s fanctionality
[Android Apps and Games] y4kutz4:
where the link for v1.11?? in market still v1.0
[Android Apps and Games] dean234:
Would LOVE to try this out but market says not compatible :-( SGS2 running SKYmod's rom
[Android Apps and Games] KlugN:
You can access the full actions menu when on screen using menu, add.
[Android Apps and Games] dancer_69:
Thanks, I missed that.

But still I think that is better to have that too.
[Android Apps and Games] troyolson92:
Good start and idea! Needs work though. Would be better to make it a normal highly theme-able launcher with the windows as a transition type. The window thing is cool but not enough other features i'm used to with other launchers. I'll not knocking it just offering suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] Beackman:
its a great app, but is not compatible with galaxy tab 7" and my HTC magic do not found it in the market.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Been using this for a couple of days now and I love it.

Screen does get a little screwed up after a reboot though when changing from landscape to portrait, have to change the 3d layout view from vertical to horizontal to get the launcher to restart. Could a restart option be added to the preferences menu to fix this?

Other thanks that slight issue, I'm loving it and can't wait to see what other stuff gets implemented in this launcher, very excited about it.

Keep up the good work.

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Android Apps and Games] Cool Cake:
So I love the concept and would probably go with it to try it out. But it's just too slow on the Evo 4G.

I was bragging to my brother about how long the legs were on the Evo and that nothing out there makes it feel old.

Well, Claystone gets the prize.

When I upgrade my device, then I will definitely return. Keep up the good work
