Also im on Android Revolution HD™ 2.1.0 ROM but im 99.99% sure that that is not the problem...

If you have an idea for solve this let me know partners.

Twitter app: user icons overlap users' posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterpfa:
Hi theb1rdm4n I like the look of this launcher and hopefully you will be able to launch it as a standalone launcher (no pun intended) with user mods available.

I will be watching this thread, but currently I will wait until the compatibility issue have been seen too.

Great work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
been using this mod for over a day not had a single reboot. Search in both market and youtube working fine.

Flashed with the MaDaCo rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RMatt1992:
Very nice work, this mod is beautiful. I love it. I was concerned with a few things, but after flashing I don't know how I'll ever go back if for some reason I have to. No market search reboot (AOKP + Franco Kernel), nothing wrong at all.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biglipps66:
NON working Audio Manager Pro app. Thinks its a tablet, looks just like the tablet version on my Xoom.

I did have one of those market search reboots too, I thought it was odd :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
re-downloading fixes the twitter app.

I'm guessing the market search issue has something to do with android 4.0.2 not this mod.......

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aflac01:
This Launcher is the best thing to happen to my nexus since i got it. I do have one request/question, would it be possible to have an option on it to remove the text from under the icons on the home screens? I know what all the icons are and i really like the clean look it gets when there is no text under icons
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RMatt1992:
Is this particularly hard to do? I love the mod, but I miss my launcher of my ROM (AOKP). Simple things you realize you use a lot and lose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamdev12:
Thx theb1rdm4n for this MOD. I'm about to loaded on my GNex. My only addition to this MOD would be like other people have said removing the search bar, but on top of this create a search button on the soft keys panel that way search is available there, but not taking the huge amount of space on top of the screen.

Thanks again for a great MOD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Hey everyone, i added links to version 2.0! Check it out in the first post, and check out a video outlining the new features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrfuzzie23:
sweet! glad you made separate versions without the search bar and the fact you made it a separate launcher

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrfuzzie23:
any chance of this becoming an apk in the future instead of flashable zip?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
I can upload the apks if you guys want them, but they have to be pushed to /system/app, because it only works if it is a system app currently. This is because of the way that android binds widgets to the launcher. If i can figure out how to make it a user app, i will release it on the market for automatic updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Thanks for the No search update. But can't seem to get it to work. Flashed it but search bar is still there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Decided to go back to 320 so how do I uninstall this?

Just cant find zip for the original launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rockwell22:
Same here and I can't resize widgets flashed twice already and even wiped cache and dalvik
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
The "with search launcher works, but no search version doesn't seem to flash properly, as its exactly the same prior to flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RMatt1992:
Pull the Launcher2.apk out of any stock ROM, then use

adb remount

adb push launcher2.apk /system/app

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, devs. Been awhile for me. How I did it on my Liquid E.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Ok. I will look into it. I may have uploaded a bad build of it.

Just to be clear, you guys are getting a choose home screen popup and choosing "BRD Launcher" correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjward23:
Hi all.

My first post in GN forums.

I just checked the MD5 sums of v1 against v2 with no search bar and they match.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stea1thmode:
cj what are you doing here, are you lost?:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjward23:
Haha, no I am not. I'm proud to be an owner of this truly magnificent device. And I look forward to be coming an active part of this community. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Oops, sorry guys. I see what i did. When making the zip i copied the BRD_Launcher.apk into the zip, and instead of deleting the Launcher2.apk, i deleted the BRD_Launcher.apk file i had just added. Facepalm. Fixed zip coming soon! I am going to test it and verify it works this time ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Uploaded a working version. There was some problems with the zip so i decided it easier to use adb to push the apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Can you post the stock launcher as a flashable zip as well? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
I packaged it up for you:

http://www.multiupload.com/GF4ANKZ155

To all: I have added zips in addition to the apks for the new 2.0 version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biglipps66:
new one works for me, easier for sure
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Im downloading the new version. Thanks a lot man.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkhyper1:
First off. Thanks to the developer for a great mod. The first thing I noticed about the phone was all the wasted screen real estate. This mod unlocks the true power of this great hdwe.

I have experiences the market crashing the phone when searching as well.

I'm running on android revolution hd2.1 with the included kernel. I just installed the appbrain market and use that for searching. It does a better job at searching anyway and links directly to the market entries to install. All the mods, rooms, etc are still early versions at this point so I'm happy to use workarounds where necessary.

Thanks again to the dev.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Is everyone who's crashing on the revolution rom?

@theb1rdm4n, awesome work! I have donated :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smw420:
No prompt at all and still have search bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
You are installing the old version for sure... or the one with the search bar...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jaredsk74:
I wish that were the case however my phone rebooted during search in the market twice and I am running stock everything aside from root access.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smw420:
I completely diaagree. I downloaded this: http://www.multiupload.com/EN8QAFKH88

All I can think is that the file is actually the one with the bar even though the file name says otherwise. I downloaded, overwrote, and reflashed 3 times to be sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kryptyx:
Any chance for a 5x5 / 6x5 option optimized for maybe 280 dpi? I love the smaller DPI but at 240 its just a little too small for my hands :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
Try downloading the apk version and pushing it to the phone with adb using the 2 lines of code i outlined. If that method doesn't work something must be wrong with your phone/rom.

thanks for the support :)

Sneak peek for everyone on what is planned for version 3.0:

A one app fits all type deal. Settings that allow the user to modify how many rows and columns on the homescreen when in portrait and landscape, as well as for the app drawer. Should allow for using on any dpi (assuming you choose the right amount of rows/columns, because icon scaling is not planned yet). Also ability to enable and disable the search bar from settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Can't wait. Thanks for the great work on this and for the timely updates and quick responses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sxm2:
Looking forward to that.

Not having to change lcd denisty would be nice, or build it into your app.

And not having to push it via adb would be nice too. Would having the apk signed work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Yes, hopefully both of these will be supported in future updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Thanks, much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smw420:
OMG, total noob mistake. I've been playing with ROMs today and just loaded RevHD 2.1.0 and forgot to check the "Unknown sources". :o

As soon as I hit the Back button after checking it I was immediately prompted for my launcher of choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjward23:
I haven't checked yet to see if it's working on ICS, but there is an app called spare parts available in the market. Un-tick the "compatibility mode" option and reboot and it should fix the issue you were having. It always worked on GB and Froyo :o

Sent from a phone that is not running ICS, but my other one does :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Thanks for the tip, but no joy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjward23:
Seems like it is incompatible with ICS, I tested it with you a few apps I know have issues when you change lcd density. There is a discussion thread in the general forum about what apps are compatible with the 240 density. Might be more info and possible solutions there

Sent from a phone that is not running ICS :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PerCompLLC:
Bird, this is AWESOME! Thank you for this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Setting the DPI to 241 seems to have fixed the Music player problem. In 241dpi the music player goes back to ICS. You lose the fancy tablet music widget, but you can't win all.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamdev12:
Seems setting the DPI to 241 does fix the music app issue, but it seems it's made many applications incompatible with the device. Yesterday a game I downloaded registers as not compatible with my device anymore today. It didn't say this yesterday.

Now I have to do a little more research and make sure it isn't the actual MOD that is giving me this problem. Aside from that and the fact that I got the wrong MOD (without the search bar), this MOD works well.

Market, Movies and all other apps work without crashing. I do notice a small slow down of rendering. Which makes me believe the rendering of all graphics is not being done by the GPU (hardware) but the CPU (in software). But this may be an issue with the ROM I got (Android HD 2.1)

Thx again for this MOD.

Version 2.0: 7x6 (No Search Bar) APK / ZIP

Tried this version and in landscape mode, the top and bottom row get cut in half. The v2.0 with search bar doesnt have this issue. If my screenshot feature would work I'd post an ss, but I cant ss for some wild reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
That's normal, landscape will be cropped when you remove the search widget regardless if its 240dpi or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hash123:
Great job theb1rdm4n,

is there a way to just have 7 Icon Bottom Bar

I like the way my phone with moded launcher 5*4 and no search bar and what I miss more icons in the dock bar
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] g33k3r:
A work around I found was to set dpi to 240, reboot, clear market cache and data, open the market to make sure the apps are compatible, then freeze market updater, update dpi back to 241 and reboot. Next time you open market it should still have the old settings from 240 dpi and continue to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hayaku:
Hey Bird,

Is it possible to expand the touch area of the 3 softkeys? There's some dead space on both sides of each button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Need an update to the new 4.0.3 Launcher!

Edit: The .apk works just the Re-sizable stock widgets don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Riztnack:
I agree, it is not working on 4.0.3

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wakeforsoul:
Widgets cause FC in 4.0.3 womp womp womp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrdziuban:
A few issues I noticed running 4.0.3:

1. Stock widgets cannot be resized.

2. Power control widget cannot be added--it reverts back to the apps/widgets drawer and says "No more room on this home screen"

3. The menu button in the bottom right is sometimes unresponsive, possibly due to its smaller size.

This is a great mod otherwise! I'm definitely interested in seeing 5x5 and 6x5 versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calamity:
Widgets causing FC. Dpi set to 241 but also FC at 241. Running 2.1.1 android revolution LTE GN. Tried fix permissions still a no go. Also is there a way to resize the soft keys? But its awesome love the look great job.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ehinmers:
Exact same issue, at 320 DPI I can add items to the launcher but after rebooting into 240 DPI adding anything causes the launcher to FC. Tried both 6x6 & 7x6 versions to no avail.

Stock rooted GN LTE / 4.0.2 ICL53F
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Seems that that issue is only on LTE device... im on GSM and is rocking :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
im on gsm at 240dpi and get INSTANT fc when i try and add ANY widget, that comes from trying the zip on 4.0.1 and the apk on 4.0.3

other then the odd random FC on the launcher it runs smooth on 4.0.3 im glad i dont use widgets :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Then must be the base... im on 4.0.2----
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ande_uk:
yeah.. all ok on GSM 4.0.3.. widgets and resizing all works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smw420:
Running that Shanked/Kanged CM9 4.0.3 and its working great. I'm hooked on your tasty crack, I'll never go back to 320, so please keep working on this, its great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
1. To all the people who are getting widget FC's, are you 100% sure you have it installed to /system/app? Try using the adb psuh method if you used the zip before. I have seen problem with widgets, but that has only ever happened to me when i ran it as a non system app.

2. The 2.0 build was built off of the source code for 4.0.1 and works fine on my 4.0.1 GSM nexus.

3. The soft buttons (back / home / tasks / menu) are out of my control guys. This is just a launcher replacement. The soft buttons are part of the android OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
I would hate to go back to 320 too, when I see 320 now it looks like its for the blind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wakeforsoul:
ADB push worked. No more FC's. A Hanukkah miracle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ehinmers:
Good point, I never actually noticed or thought of that as a requirement. Up till now I just kept installing it as a user app through File Explorer. Just tried manually copying it over to the the system app directory and it seems to be working fine now on my GN LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myxcon:
Does it work properly on 4.0.2? And if not, will you make one? Or maybe post a tutorial

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gifton1:
Loving this mod - thanks so much. Working fine for me (im using a 4.0.1 rom). Installed by moving the apk to system/app using Root Explorer (I also changed the permissions to match that of the stock launcher - not sure if necessary) and all working fine, no Widget problems at all.

Please could I make a request for a version that does not have landscape rotation? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Only things that don't work on 4.0.3 are the stock clock widget and the power menu can't be resized.. they just FC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
i may get really flammed for this, but would it be possible for you to make 5x5/5x6 like the note?i really love this launcher but the app drawer is kinda too small for me...:-(

would hate to go back to stock after this, totally loving it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shumweezy:
Does the YouTube apk work for you guys? It fc's for me. Thanks love this mod!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sdot_sd:
Stupid noob question: The adb push is done from my laptop, correct? And do I simply navigate to folder containing adb and the launcher apk, and run the remount command and the 2nd command? Or is this done on my phone? I don't know how I managed to unlock the bootloader and root this thing. Any help would be awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hxdrummerxc:
this is awesome.....

I cant stand when I cant resize widgets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gifton1:
Same here

10 char
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mikey:
Thats because the widget is preset to be 7(across)*2(down)

Considering the layout only goes up too 6(across)*7(down)......hence the no room.

correct adb is run in your PCs CMD box

Re-READ the op........

Also another "freeze" of the launcher is when you try to drop an icon on top of an already sitting icon in the "dock".....instead of kicking out the icon that's already there and replacing it with the new icon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myxcon:
I'm getting random FC on gapps. Dunno what's the issue but I do suspect this mod to cause the FCs. It's the only mod that is not based on 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smw420:
Running the latest CM9 Kang. All widgets FC. Definitely in /system/app.

This has to be the most important mod for ICS on Nexus. There is absolutely no way I can go back to 320, I'd probably just sell the phone if forced back. Hopefully you are still planning on BRD 3.0 because 240 is now very important for many people. This is just amazing, please don't abandon it!

Is there any chance to get invisible folders as well? It could make this launcher perfect :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
working very nicely on bigxie ROM 4.0.3 v4 :D

i think this issue was mentioned, but if i place a widget where there is "not enough room" i go back to the widget menu but can't get out of the drawer unless i reboot. i guess it's useful way to see what is working and what isn't in terms of widgets :D

thanks for the great mod! :)

Widgets showing wrong size?

I was using this on Revolution 2.1.2 and it was fine... I just put it over the newest Milestone KANG and all the widgets are showing to be like 7x1 (music) and stuff like that? Ideas? Seems to be mostly the GApps...

Even Calendar defaults to 5x2 which is crazy...

Contacts widget problems

Great job - I don't think I will ever be able to go back to 320. I look forward to updates!!!

One issue I have found is with the android "contact" widget (I like to have my contacts on the screen). In the default launcher, clicking on the contact brings up a small view of the contact, whereas in 240dpi in both default launcher and BRD, the preview is just a blown-up portion of the picture. Just a heads up for people that like to use the widget...

Thanks again for the great work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVO'D_OUT:
mod works great. 6x6 seems a bit too busy for me though. I think 5x5 would be perfect, like you said the ability to change this within the app would be perfect.

Some apps display poorly with the 240dpi on the nexus screen... Engadget app comes it mind but overall very cool
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knvb7:
Thanks OP for mod, wish that dpi was native...anyways, you think you will have one for 3 home screens?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ABQNM:
Very much thank you! When I used to have a Droid X I had it on 180, so this is perfect for me.

One minor bug I noticed is that when you long press an app in the drawer, drag it to app info and then either uninstall it or back out of the app info, you are returned to the drawer. The issue is that now you cannot press anything in the drawer until you press home and re-open the drawer. Stock launcher does this without problem.

Didn't see that reported, but I could have missed it. It doesn't seem related to the widgets freezing the app drawer issue.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ABQNM:
So I guess I have to go back... Too bad. Google Music is way too hard to use at that DPI with all the issues it has. Everything else I found works great though. None of that had to do with the launcher which is great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_GreenTree:
Problem with adb remount

hey I'm trying to push the brd_launcher.apk to /system/app, but when i use adb remount i get the error adb remount failed: operation not permitted. I can't seem to change the /system/ from ro to rw. I am rooted with su. Maybe is there a way to manually change ro to rw in the su shell? This is the line I get for system when I'm in the su shell.

/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system /system ext4 ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

I assume barrier=1 is keeping me from using adb remount

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I have my dpi set to 240 dpi and would love to have BRD launcher up and running. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
@The_GreenTree what rom are you using? IIRC, you need to make sure you have an insecure boot.img to remount using adb. I'm sure a google search of the error will bring results..To manually mount in 2.3 and below, there were some commands in terminal you could do. They can be found in the cyanogenmod wiki for Barebones. I'm not sure if will work now.

@ABQNM have you tried 241 dpi? This value changed how many of my gapps looked when in portrait mode. It "fixed" music and Gmail for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_GreenTree:
I am on stock 4.0.2 I think I got the apk transferred but I cannot find it in root explorer. Check this out

EDIT #2: Thank you superbobup, that was my problem, I needed an insecure boot.img. I went with the android revolution 2.1.2 ROM. Everything is working and this launcher is AWESOME, 320 dpi is a thing of the past! I will never go back
