:)

Well it's version proliferation that I'm concerned about. And with different numbers of home screens confusion with reign.

I'm afraid in this case you'll need to look elsewhere for that feature sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dawynkoop:
It looks like anything I put at the TOP of the 6th screen also disappears, I've tried 1 row and 2 row tall widgets and both are gone after a reboot. No, I haven't messed with resolution or pixel density either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Okay thanks, that's helpful. I suspect that an array isn't big enough to hold all of the data.

If it's a simple fix I'll apply it, otherwise I'll need to sunset the 7 screen version because tbh, the support overhead would be too much and there are alternatives.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dawynkoop:
That's completely understandable. Let me know if there's anything you need me to try in order to help. I have no problems wiping and re-flashing my device if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smoothjeff:
Wow Google reduced the margin sizes in the stock 4.0.3 over 4.0.2? I hadn't really noticed. Did they reduce it as much as you did in your 4.0.2? What about the top and bottom margins?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Yes they did and as far as I can tell the horizontal ones are the same as my mod. The vertical ones however are not because they're still running with the search bar - out of necessity my vertical margins are a little smaller (the Google search box isn't the full height of a row).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Is there any way you could do a grid for 240dpi? Evidently the other thread has been abandoned.... Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lancez:
thanks for the mod
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
No, I'm afraid not. I don't use that resolution so testing is impractical and there seem to be a few too many issues getting compatibility.

Heck, my current mod doesn't even work well for some people... gotta look at that first! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thatguy123:
Is there a 7 screen option for version 3 or only version 4? I'm still on Modaco 4.0.2 rom, but would like 7 screens if possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Just for v4 at the moment, and as it is there seem to be some problems. If I can fix those I'll back-port it otherwise 7 screens will be decommissioned entirely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reppu:
Hey djmcnz, great mod! I want it badly but i can't make it work for some reason. I am running MCR Ir8 but i think the problem is that i got installed the circles mod from Hooolm (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1400114). Maybe it's not possible to run both mods at the same time? It seems like that mod is overwriting part of yours.

I am a total noob so sorry if it's a silly question...surely i am doing something wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
No problem, which circle mod are you using? I had a look at CirclesMod_GNexus_Modaco_Ir7_b007-signed.zip for you and that should co-exist with this launcher mod for sure...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reppu:
I am actually using the one for Ir8 (it's posted on that thread but not on the first post). I believe it could have something to do with his META-INF folder overwriting yours, but i can't be sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
That's an unlikely scenario and I did look at his mod, it changes a different file.

I replace Launcher2.apk and he replaces SystemUI.apk (I had a look at the Ir8 version this time).

I can't honestly see how they could interfere with one and other.

What problematic symptoms are you observing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yuyudroid:
4x4 for 4.0.2 stock deodex ????
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Depends on what 4x4 refers to? Grid or screens?

This one is 4x5 grid with 4 portrait home screens, no landscape for 4.0.2.

I don't actually have a landscape version of this edition:

ICSLauncherNoSearch4x5v3+4x0+D2.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yuyudroid:
nice djmcnz ^^ thank you very muche
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reppu:
The only symptom is that your mod simply doesn't work for me but i receive no message whatsoever, the search bar and standard grid simply remain. I am positive it must be my mistake, but i followed all your instructions and i can't get it right. I will keep trying...

EDIT: i got it working finally. I just re-downloaded the file and this time it worked...maybe i had a corrupted file before, or something. Anyway. it's working now. Thanks a lot!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhy8386:
Big fan of this mod.

A nice add-on would be the ability to save your settings layout so if you flash on another ROM, you do not have to resetup everything. But no idea what the entails.

Keep up the good work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Agreed, would be nice but not going to happen I'm afraid. Ideal is to keep this as close to stock as possible - adding no extra code, keeping it as slim as possible.

To acheive what you've suggested (which is a nice feature I agree) requires adding an options menu, then a sub-menu interface as well as a file I/O interface... once you hit that level you're better off starting afresh.

And tada! Both Nova and Trebucht have done that and also implemented that feature so you have a options at least.

Indeed... confession... I'm now using Nova because it's stable and has all the features I need. As a consequence, once 4.0.3 goes final (and live) I think I'll patch the launcher, offer as many options as I can and leave it as that for the final release.

Honestly, this was a hack to bridge the gap before custom launchers came along. In my opinion the 3 or 4 custom ICS launchers out there now are probably a better option than my mod...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhy8386:
I hear you. I agree that i liked it was close to stock since it meant it was unlikely to have any issues.

I made some custom folders for your mod. Would you happen to know if this should work with Nova as well? Just replacing the folder files?

Thanks for all the hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
No prob. Regarding Nova, I'm not sure, just unzip the Nova apk on your computer to check png names.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhy8386:
Thanks. Looks like it will work.

I did notice one thing as i switched to Nova to look at it. Its nice. But whatever you did to the margins was a lot niiiiicer. I might suggest that over there but is that something that is a relatively easy change that i could implement myself?

EDIT: Would that be in the Google Doc? Is it just the padding settings for both vertical and horizontal margins? I don't want a landscape home screen so i don't care about those settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
EDIT: Wrong: (Yep, just the left and right padding... in the stock launcher that is... I've looked at Nova and it might use different methods... no harm in trying though. You'll need to change it with each update...)

Sorry - it's in dimens.xml - off the top of my head cell width and max gap... it's not actually in the doc (I will add it).

If that's not right let me know... :)

lol - I've just noticed this now that you mention it... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhy8386:
Thanks!

Before i knew that i decompiled the app and changed the padding. But when i tried to recompile with apktool I got a bunch of invalid resource directories and brut exception errors. Frankly never done this before and it may be above my head if its not compiling easily. Perhaps it was the small changes I made. Ill see what you post and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Can you, without error, decode and re-encode the apk with no changes at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhy8386:
I couldn't. Then i read my aapt file may be outdated so i took the one from the android SDK and that worked!

EDIT: You did that already! Thanks. Just a touch up issue, the blue heading for the new additions is the same as the ones below it. I know you did it fast for me but just FYI in case you want to clean it up. Now i guess ill wait to see your changes, attempt to make them, and see what happens :)

EDIT: I got it. Thanks. One quick thing, once i recompile, do i need to sign the app? If so (I'm on a mac) what is the easiest way to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhy8386:
:)

It worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kara mustafa:
i have a problem with calendar widget, it disappears after reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JasonJJM27:
I don't see a thanks button, but thanks a ton, this is awesome! :) Works like a charm on stock 4.0.2 (rooted)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frunobulax:
None of the zips worked on CWM, unfortunately.

A manual override using Root Explorer also didn't solve it.

I'm currently using CM9 4.0.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
Worked fine here. Are you using touch CWM by any chance?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sayan1987:
I installed it on aokp rom+franco kernel, it works flawless, but the "circles" representing folders are gone, i think cause "transparent folders"..

Any way to have the mod but without this transparent mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paperecho:
Awaiting post 4.0.3 landscape support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] razzbaronz:
Yes, I can confirm the folder circles are gone. I'd like them as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uTomi:
+1 i would like a version without trasnparent folders! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Here you go guys, I'll add it to the first post also.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20774356&postcount=231

You can edit+flash without wiping anything, you'll keep your home screens too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Same.

If you know of a 4.0.3 launcher with landscape support then flick me a copy and I can do it for you. At the moment I don't have the source...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frunobulax:
Well, since I didn't even knew of a touch CWM, I'm betting on a "no". I use the good'n'old volume + power button combo on my Defy.

I wonder why there's absolutely nowhere I can download the STOCK Launcher2. I don't care for now for the new Trebuchet resources, but I do care for a launcher not FC'ing every 5 seconds and background scrolling. This is the closest solution near a "stock" release and didn't work. I'm on ADW Launcher for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] razzbaronz:
Worked perfectly. Thank you for being so responsive!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sayan1987:
Great, worked flawless!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Beautiful Widgets
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnydopemsr:
work in progress

Just wanted to throw this up there of what I am currently working on...

I am using and compiling with cyanogenmod which means I am using Trebuchet Launcher.

***Update***

So the issues I have been running into with 4x5 with Landscape are:

Icons not appearing all the way on the screen (as you see in my picture posted).

Cannot move items to the next screen to the right.

If I resize the diemension height to cut off the name of app (cause I don't know how else to do so right now cause setting android:textSize to "0sp" in source makes a force close) certain widgets get cut off as well and will not look right.

Thats where I am at currently with this if anyone was wondering. So if anyone thinks they can point me to the right direction to just disable the font from showing up that would be great so I could try something else out.

And before I forget I want to thank djmcnz for inspiring me to do this as I am not trying to steal his thunder but to just help out what he started. with out that guide he made I wouldn't have been able to get this far. Just not sure what you deleted in the first part of that guide does as I am doing all by source code. Also, its just a tad bit easier to use the trebuchet source code as he made some nice improvements to disable the search bar easier in the source code.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erik1213:
Not sure if this has been pointed out but when using this launcher, widgets on the 6th and 7th screens disappear when rebooting, and sometimes at random. I am using the 4.0.3 mod. Other than that small bug, I love this mod. Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Yeah... that's been reported and I've had a look - I subsequently marked the 7 screen version as "Experimental" because of that.

I may be able to fix it, I have a few ideas but I can't check them until the weekend probably. To be honest, if it's not a simple fix then I will retire the 7 screen version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erik1213:
Ok great, thanks! I don't know if this will help you or not, but I believe that the Nova Launcher makers had the same issue and has now been resolved. Maybe something from that launcher might help you out in fixing this? I'm not sure how different the two launchers are in this area, and I don't really care for the Nova Launcher much, but it might help...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnydopemsr:
When I get a chance I'll try that in the trebuchet launcher and see what happens...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erik1213:
Any luck getting screens 6 & 7 to not delete widgets on 4.0.3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Nope... to be fair I've not given it a lot of time, competing priorities and all.

There are no promises on 7 screens sorry but there are alternatives... don't want to push you away, just pointing out you have a few options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LucaZPF:
This mod works only on stock roms?

i have Android Revolution HD installed on my device, any problems?

works fine, I appreciate your work!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hadar.shamir:
Hi,

Can this fix be uninstalled? I want to go back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Yep, easiest way is to put stock launcher from your rom zip in my mod zip (replacing my version) and flash that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
Is there a way to revert back to stock? a .zip perhaps?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Read the post above yours... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
Where do I get that? I'm currently running the stock LTE 4.0.2 build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsk23:
How could I go about getting the transparent folders and only that out of this mod?

I use nova launcher but I would like to have the folder circles removed and just see the stacked-3-icon-preview.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
You're showing no indication you read my post... what more do you need help with?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Nova supports custom folder icons now, you can just use a transparent png/icon in Nova.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsk23:
Tried this, it just shows the wallpaper-folder name and not the preview of the icons within the folder.

I still want to see the see previewable icons within the folder, but not the black circle around them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Oh, well you'd need to change the graphics in the apk, not sure which ones with Nova (probably the same as stock) - and you'd need to do this each time you updated Nova...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bob@Desire:
Edit: I created the zip with the stock, launcher again and now it works

I replaced your Launcher2 with the stock one but I am getting an error (bad file) when trying to flash with CWM.

Any ideas

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
One question : If i do this (remove google search bar), is there any way i can put the google search widget (on only 1 screen), but the same looks as the google search bar built in all screens?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
You can but the widget looks a little different that's all. You could probably theme the widget so it looked the same however.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fahrenheit:
Any chance this mod will be reworked for the 4.0.4 update recently released for CDMA GN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
There's a chance yes, but I think it's a slim one... you would always backup and try. It's 100% UNtested on 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fahrenheit:
Oh, I was hoping you could take the 4.0.4 files, then mod them in your special way. Wouldn't want to introduce old code in a new build!

Saw the tutorial in the OP...hopefully 4.0.4 didn't change too much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazysoccerman:
Great mod. However, it makes the Google news & weather widget 3x1 rather than its original 4x1

I'm using version 4 with 3 home screens on aokp build 21 (4.0.3)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
The no search bar 4.0.3 launcher works on stock rooted deodexed 4.0.4. I just loaded it up on my bad boy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fahrenheit:
That's good to know. I don't know if I'd feel comfortable doing that myself though (replacing 4.0.4 launcher code with old, modified 4.0.2 launcher code). The 4.0.2 launcher apk is 11.52MB, and the 4.0.4 launcher is 9.25MB. That means there are significant changes between the versions.

On another note, I tried following djmcnz's tutorial on modding the 4.0.4 launcher. I was able to extract the apk with "apktool d -d", however I couldn't see any .smali files. Then I saw a note saying I needed to build the apk with debug, and when I did, it put up "resource not found" errors. Still no smali files. Its a bit out of my league...

So we're at the whim of a benevolent soul to modify the 4.0.4 launcher <wink> <wink>.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
I'll have a look at it as soon as I can.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fahrenheit:
I can up the 4.0.4 launcher2.apk somewhere if you don't have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Might be helpful, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fahrenheit:
Sure thing:

http://he1t.net/support/Launcher2.apk - Stock 4.0.4 Launcher

http://he1t.net/support/Launcher2.odex - don't know if you need the odex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazysoccerman:
Could you take a look at the Google news and weather widget too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fahrenheit:
You had the issue with the news (genie) widget changing sizes? I'm not sure how that could happen. I was using this mod while having the genie widget, and it didn't get skewed at all.

If you want, I made a 50% transparent genie widget mod from the latest 4.0.4 build. It should work on any version. Let me know if you want to try it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazysoccerman:
Sure I'll try it

Edit: Nvm, reverted back to stock launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ieisha:
will this work on 4.0.4 ?

oops sorry! thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haxel:
Is there a no search bar with only 4x4? I can only seem to find the 4x5 which I really don't care for the bugs that go along with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
What bugs? I'm using this mod forever and I found no bugs...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haxel:
... and this is why I hate these forums sometimes.

If you don't consider the operational "changes" bugs, that's your problem. Crashing no, but display behavior changes, misaligned UI (close to the top/buttom) ect. Those would be the definition of bugs/issues. Not saying usable, just _I_ don't want them and most software companies would consider those bugs. (BTW I'm on a Vibrant not a Nexus as well)

I guess I'll just have to read his gdoc and upload it myself. Not that I'm lazy, I respect experience... so if he had one he would have done it right... well I'm a little lazy also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
You can hate these forums all you want. I'll say it again - I installed this and have been using it for a few weeks on a Nexus (as you might note this forum is about) and I have none of the issues you mentioned.

I thank you though for making clear to me what the definition of a bug is. If you feel like sharing more of your insights, we are all here to learn.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afguy0127:
I've been using this for a few weeks, and am currently running it on 4.0.4. The only bug I've noticed is after a boot, the icons will draw, then disappear, then draw again a second or 2 later. A little annoying, but nothing I can't handle. It only happens on boot. But I love the extra icon space it gives.

4.04 Test Release

Hi guys,

Here's a 4.0.4 native version for testing. I've tested it on a 4.0.3 ROM (AOKP) and it seems to work flawlessly. Before I make an update.zip or more variations I'd like confirmation for somebody on a 4.0.4 ROM please.

android:versionName="4.0.4-257829" package="com.android.launcher"

For the time being the only change is the 4x5 grid, adjusted margins and removal of the search bar.

Just push to /system/app/ - perhaps backup your existing one first.

adb remount
adb shell stop
adb shell cp /system/app/Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.bak
adb push 4.0.4-Launcher2-Mod.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk
adb shell start

Now, there are some pretty hacky 4.0.4 ROMs around and some may have signature issues... it may pay to have another launcher installed before you test this in case there are certificate mismatches (shouldn't be a problem).

Please report back.

Download: 4.0.4-Launcher2-Mod.apk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fahrenheit:
Success! The search bar is gone, and extra row is added. Nice work, thanks!

I have noticed one issue; when rebooting, just before the lock screen appears, the "Android is upgrading" message comes up:

It occurs on every reboot. I changed the permissions on the launcher to rw-r--r-- but the message still comes up. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Hmm, yeah that's a cert mismatch. Are you using an AOSP rom or a 4.0.4 leaked rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fahrenheit:
Actually, I'm just running stock rooted with the 4.0.4 update applied.

Tapatalk - GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Oh, now that's interesting... so the rom's not deodexed either... hmm.

I'll try it with the version you posted in the thread a page or so back when I have some time... won't be tonight though because I don't have my de-odex scripts set up any more and I'll need to do that first.

At least I know the changes work... :)

Also, I couldn't find any meaningful difference between the 4.0.3 version and the 4.0.4 version of the Launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fahrenheit:
Yeah, whenever you can get to it is cool. I only notice the issue when I reboot, and it doesn't effect functionality.

Strange that there were no visible fixes in the new launcher. Maybe that makes sense in that 4.0.4 is just 4.0.3 for CDMA.

Do you have a donate page?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
No, it's all for free but the intention was nice enough... thank you... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Planet X:
I have tried your modded launcher 4x5 with 5 home screens. Both the 4.0.4 and the 4.0.3 versions shows the news and weather widget from google only 3x1. I don't have that issue with Nova launcher. Could you fix that? I am on the 4.0.4 ROM from Paul.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Are you running stock DPI?

I simply can't reproduce this problem but some others have also reported it so I don't dismiss it!

I looked into it when it was first reported but never got to the bottom of the issue... the N&W widget uses an absolute layout but I'm sure my dimensions are within bounds.

I'll check again when I look at the certs... I might be off by a pixel or two... :confused:
