Is there any way to make the wallpaper cover the whole screen in landscape mode? Now I have black lines on both sides.

[Android General] yaatzek:
I guess it's a wallpaper problem not tsf. For me in landscape everything is ok.

guys, after i updated the shell, there is a bit of glitch ( not actually glitch but tough to navigate ) while i scroll through the cards,

means its not that easier as it was before...!

don't know if this problem is only to me or to others too...?:confused:

please help guys.....:fingers-crossed:

a good update though.....worth the wait.......:cool:
[Android General] ketani73:
It's not a wallpaper problem , just tap preferences , a window with several options will open....Press the bottom bar on that window (bar with 3 dots), a settings page will open...Tap on "wallpaper" option...then tap on "wallpaper mode"...Check on "Scroll mode" & exit.

Just check your landscape mode & the wallpaper will be spread throughout the screen...no black lines anymore....:good:
[Android General] sshafranko:
Got it thanks. Only other issue I found is when I open a folder and double tap each icon to multiple select then try to drag them Tsf force closes every time. I have to drag the icons to delete them one by one. I uninstall ed and installed again and still same issue.

I have already reported this to [MENTION=2352859]sinjiyo[/MENTION] and he said it will be addressed soon :) One more issue i came across is with the notepad widget which caused a force close upon saving.
[Android General] yaatzek:
[MENTION=2352859]sinjiyo[/MENTION] I have one request:

It would look really nicer if the folders would fit the icons inside it. I mean not all folders are full of apps and when it has only for example 4 the folder takes whole screen.

And I also have fc when trying to pull more than one icon out of the folder.
[Android General] sshafranko:
Great idea

[Android General] sinjiyo:
well, about dashclock and Clock...seems fix in the 1.9.9.5.2...hope he is right this time. multiselection in folder fix too...second not smooth would be fix too(because dev try something for saving power. refresh second each 10 sec) notepad would be fix and message widget will have better resize (smaller and bigger).

Found another bug and this one is passing me off. I have two folders set up on my main screen one for direct txt and one for direct call contacts which are shortcuts.

I just got the most recent update and I love it. Auto landscape mode with screen customization is freaking awesome. fc's here and there no big deal though. Works great with tasks sgs3 rom.
[Android General] sinjiyo:
Maybe because all is not fix yet...and maybe personal life. Or maybe you could learn to us something to dev better and quicker...Maybe this guys are just normal. NOT superman.

someone with the missing shortcut in folder after a reboot can send to me the backup config? follow this step...Create a folder, add icon app, create a backup and without reboot, send me the 2 file TSFShell_db.db and TSFShell_settings.xml (you will find them in sdcard.

[Android General] mb523:
I think I found something else. It seems force closing on my phone is related to "Beautiful Widgets". When I have that on my screen, it's force closing. When I delete it, it stops force closing. I wonder why the conflict.

Actually, never mind. I deleted Beautiful Widgets and it's still force closing. I can't figure out what to do.:confused:

[Android General] pappschlumpf:
Having FC problems?

For all having FC's. I have it, too. Mostly after a reboot. If it FC's: Reload, reload, reload, even if you get the config is bad message, cancel it and reload the shell. For me it always comes back to normal operation! Sometimes I have to reload it 5, 6, 7 times. Don't give up, reload it until it's back!
[Android General] ketani73:
Very strange indeed ....Not even once have i faced a FC on my Note 2 N7100 running stock JB 4.1.2.....!!!
[Android General] pappschlumpf:
I think, too, that it's something with widgets handling. I've had things like that with other launchers, too. But, for example Apex, Nova, they don't crash, they just show a frame with a text, that the widget has crashed. I think the tsf guys missed something with catching widget FC's. And, why the shell always reloads if a widget is updated to a new version from playstore? Other launchers just reload the widget!

Well I hope they could sort it out! TSF is the best launcher, even with the actual bugs!

TSF Shell

The last update (with new unlimited folder + shortcut lost bug "solved") *produces EXACTLY the opposite of what it is supposed to do*

Now I cannot add any new shortcut inside any folder (new or existing folder)

TSF Shell Reload = LOST ALL new shortcut added !!!!

I'm paralyzed by this bug. I can't wait to get the update tomorrow.

EDIT: update solve this. but new bug : freeze/crashloop with Appygeek widget...
[Android General] sinjiyo:
Version 1.9.9.5.2 Beta (Jun.14,2013)

Fixed:

1.Fixed the problem that shortcut missing at folder.

2.Fixed some Android standard widgets abnormally display problem (such as DashClock).

3.Fixed the problem that some third-party themes cannot use.

4.Fixed the problem of SMS widget display size too big or too low at some devices.

5.Fixed some program crash problem.

6.Fixed other known bugs

thank you man what about moving widget why they remove it and stay only on cloud one is there others nearly maybe install as apk file :confused:
[Android General] Truman82:
Just wanted to give here some feedback on tsf shell. Been using it every now and then since the release. Sometimes went back to nova prime. I'd say they should have released this app as free public beta. Because it is clearly in beta stage. It do have great potential to be one of the best launchers there is. But not yet. There are many features which doesn't work yet, and bugs here n there. Not to mention battery drain or phone heating up. These can be fixed, and I believe they will. But for time being, I have to stick to nova prime. Fast, bug free and not in beta.

Gonna watch and see how tsf evolves :)
[Android General] sshafranko:
The last release before this update worked flawlessly for me. I would say it was far from beta IMO. When you add new features to a launcher there will always be some kind of bugs to work out it has to work on so many different phones and ROM combinations, but the main thing is these devs are on top of it and this launcher has great support and people behind it. I reverted back to my old version until the bugs are fixed and I could never go back to a simplistic launcher such as nova apex or holo. That's just me. As for battery you may have other issues because my battery and ram usage is practically the same with this and holo which I used before TSF. Let me know if you see different as I am interested also.

Good luck and hope you come back soon.

[Android General] Truman82:
On battery statistics, tsf used 12 percent in 5 hours. Other launchers didn't even show in those statistics :) last update was good one, but for example if I lasso icons, none of the options works it gives.. Not multi select, not delete nor create folder. And for some reason, in phonecall my phone heated up, which it doesn't do with any other launcher. But as said, gonna watch closely future updates :) good launcher otherwise.

Btw the new folder scroll animation is very nice looking. Just that I don't use that many apps in folders for it to work ^*^ I'd suggest that they implement it to drawer as scrolling effect, there are enough apps for it to shine.
[Android General] sinjiyo:
I beleive you have a lot of imagination...tsf use 6% on my device since 20 hours...and all lasso fonction work normal..Maybe better for you to look all the video in tsfui chanel on youtube.
[Android General] Truman82:
Dear Sinijiyo, I have better things to do than imagine these problems :) if app would work without problem, I wouldn't be posting here..

In earlier versions I could for example lasso 8 apps, and multi select them. Now in newest version when I lasso, and release in multi select, it loses selection of those apps.. I can multi select apps from drawer no problem, but in home screen it didn't work for some reason :/
[Android General] sinjiyo:
well, I will try to beleive you...but we can't reproduce your problem.
[Android General] Truman82:
Update :in latest small patch, seems now lasso works.. Only "gather" doesn't work yet in this version?
[Android General] sinjiyo:
wich "small patch" are you talking about?
[Android General] Truman82:
1.9.9.5.2 gonna use tsf for today and see how it goes :) :thumbup:
[Android General] sinjiyo:
my god..
[Android General] Truman82:
I know that from developer perspective, there is no small patches^*^ sorry for that..
[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
I think he said "my god" because you were taking about a previous version and not the latest heh it's ok, it happens all the time, just try to check if there is a newer version next time before posting, friendly advice :)

Oh, by the way, TSF Shell has always used 100+ megabytes here, those values aren't strange to me. The amount of RAM dependa on several factors: animations used, amount of widgets in homescreens, quality/size of icons/panels like the dock, sidebar, etc., time of being working (the counter plugin adds up), etc., etc.
[Android General] yaatzek:
New update works great.

I have one question : why since the beginning in the lasso select mode the option to gather doesn't work? Does the dev forgot about it ;)
[Android General] crullick:
maximally minimized message widget still huge :(
[Android General] sinjiyo:
screen shot please

gather option have no plan yet. and forget this very often..will be done before 2.0
[Android General] ammarsg:
Working good in new update you must update the message version and should work
[Android General] ketani73:
Yes , the message widget too was updated along with the shell ...You must update it to the latest version...Works like a charm on my Note 2....!!
[Android General] schimm:
My thoughts on making the best launcher out there better...focusing on widgets. Overall well done. The weather widget though is pretty much useless. If you're gonna look for a standard look at what Next had done with a bar chart high and low extended forecast and a full feature product within. This might be beyond your reach as you are not a big shop but if you can pull out off would be welcomed. For now I use 1Weather.

Enjoying the notepad....very useful with my note 2 for quick shopping to dos. And the animation widgets & pendant are great. They keep things interesting and after awhile all launchers become boring. The clock is interesting and gives you all the essentials you need on a clock widget.

One more thing....would like to see a bucket folder icon to use with the icon designer. I like the bxo hd theme with the cool boxes and there is so many ways to go with folders. The default is somewhat old school.

All in all....great job.

[Android General] AgustinArwin:
Hi Sinjiyo and TSF users I got some idea and some small bug reporting.

Bugs

1. A definite FC when you lasso folders and choose "Create Folder". (No Icon, Folder Only)

2. Randomly rearranging of single folder or icon, frequency is .01 out of 10.

3. Got freeze on lasso + arrange, need to press home to defrost, frequency is .01 out of 10.

4. Folder's icon count number is cut to half, it's been there since 1.9.9.5 update I can't remember if 1.9.9.4 has also this bug but I'm sure 1.9.9.3 don't have this bug. (ThemeBox Theme) (or maybe this is ThemeBox Theme bug not TSF Shell bug, don't know for sure, sorry) (Screen shot in attachment 1)

5. Don't know if it's a bug but mind looking on attachment 2, the check mark become nearly transparent.

Ideas

1. Auto arranging of folder icons by app name or time installed, ascending and decending.

2. Labeled or numbered page + TSF Shell shortcut for page + No swiping page navigation.

3. Up - down swiping page navigation. (I remember someone mentioning this)

4. For themers out there, mind putting hashtag on your posts so we can easily search your custom widgets from search thread :). One hashtag for all themers please.

I'm very impress on TSF Shell even if it's still in beta TSF can beat none beta launcher out there, great work devs. Waiting for v2. (I wish v2 has the floating icons feature)

Mind moving to Charlie? :P hehe.

Request

1. I wish I have an option to make my app drawer always like this (attachment 3).

2. Messaging widget doesn't support on my device (Lenovo IdeaTab A2107A-H), will you please support my device, thanks!
[Android General] Surpass:
Try adding more apps to the folder and scrolling up and down, it should play the animation.

And there isn't a way to sort the folders alphabetically yet.

Why does it even matter to you how much it uses haha you have 1.2GB free... :p

The way Android handles RAM is differently than other operating systems. In a very basic sense, if you have no free RAM it's essentially no different than having a gigabyte free. So in other words not used RAM is wasted RAM, and thus you really shouldn't have to worry about how much TSF Shell is using unless it's using literally all your free RAM (like 1GB+ would be a problem I'd say).

For Ideas

2. You can disable normal swiping by going to Preferences -> three dots along the bottom -> desktop -> uncheck 'Sliding standard mode'. When you uncheck it, the only way to change screens is either using a gesture/button (ex. pressing back button to go to the app drawer), using the 360° rotation button, or by using the classic card-swiping button.

Also the other ideas are really good :good:

For Requests

1. That's awfully inefficient if you think about it, it'd be nearly impossible to access the apps on the sides of the screen. On ADW Launcher EX, there's a app drawer feature very similar, and a while ago there was a bug that made the app drawer lock to the position (at least I think it was a bug, it doesn't happen anymore). It was very difficult to access the apps on the sides, I can assure you.

2. Does the Lenovo IdeaTab even have a messaging application? I don't know much about that tablet but it's probably because it's a tablet that it's not supported.
[Android General] sshafranko:
I understand your point and you are absolutely correct. I just worry that more ram equals more battery drain. Not sure if this is a fact and if it is its probably very miniscule anyway so your right.

GN II / TAP II
[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
According to the way android works, no it shouldn't drain more battery if it uses more RAM.
[Android General] pappschlumpf:
FC's are not gone with the last update. It looks like it often crashes on widget refresh if you swipe through your desktop pages. For the next update i only want stability!!! Features we have enough. 8 FC's this evening! To much!

For Requests

1. Well of course they should add left - right navigation or at least the technology they use on 360 carousel. So we can easily push apps on sides.

2. What I mean is the TSF message widget.
[Android General] Surpass:
Yes, I know, but if the tablet doesn't have a messaging app that's why the messaging widget does not work, because it draws the messages from the messaging app.

[Android General] AgustinArwin:
Oh! I see... thanks for explaning. So no chance for me getting the messaging widget?
[Android General] Surpass:
Probably not. You could try installing the stock Google messaging app just to see what happens I guess but I doubt it would do anything.

Additional bug reporting.

1. When an icon from app drawer is move to any page then move to stack card, stack card doesn't let you pick a page. (Without lifting your finger from the screen)

When bug 1 is done bug 2 will trigger.

2. Dragging an icon or folder to stack card bring you to app drawer instead of chosen page.
[Android General] lairdchris:
With the latest version, I'm getting the "Loading TSF-Shell" message ("TSF-Shell wird geladen") quite often after using several apps. This happened with older versions as well, but not that often.

I reckon it's due to an increased memory usage of TSF-Shell, but it's quite annoying, if you always get a delay of several seconds when returning to the home screen.

I hope, the developer focuses on memory usage for the next releases...
