"Sinjiyo is lost" ..... Please return him if you happen to find him !!!

It's impossible to continue this thread till ....."T.S.F"==" TILL SINJIYO (is) FOUND"....!!!!
[Android General] yaatzek:
Ok, maybe this will work: [MENTION=2352859]sinjiyo[/MENTION] !!!!!
[Android General] ammarsg:
i want to ask you ..how can we put icons in any tsf theme as the same apk file ..not change from preferences if you know!!!:confused: untill sinjiyo return :D
[Android General] yaatzek:
You mean the icons not changeable from icon themer?
[Android General] ammarsg:
no i mean some themes not have icon pack soo i want to add icon pack to there apk file ....like holo theme not have icon pack but meego theme as example have icon pack
[Android General] yaatzek:
You have to copy every icon one by one to drawable folder and then change xml files, it takes some work. But if I remember right [MENTION=2352859]sinjiyo[/MENTION] said something about icon packs.
[Android General] ketani73:
Hasn't this thread gone to sleep ....Absolutely no movement whatsoever , not good signs...It shows that most of the TSF users are losing interest in it's development or let me say they are least concerned as to what happens next..!!
[Android General] mani0608:
The truth is this launcher is dying slowly.
[Android General] yaatzek:
That would be so sad :( [MENTION=2352859]sinjiyo[/MENTION] give us some hope!
[Android General] bijayprusti:
ohh really how to get

how to find that can you please help does this work in android 2.3.6
[Android General] mani0608:
You can find it in the Google Play Store... Search For "TSF Shell".

It will cost you around $15.

Dude,

Even i love this launcher very much, the sleek and Halo look. But i am not so happy with the past few updates that doesn't fix any of the major issues like widget moving etc. Also, this launcher sucks when we try to use some UCCW widgets...

Force Close, Hang, Continuous Reloading etc... So for the time being i shifted to a different launcher. Lets hope for the best at the earliest.
[Android General] rexboy:
Perhaps your truth but not everyone's. I for one am very happy with it. Whilst this thread may be quiet, worldwide usage of this launcher extends past XDA lol.

Pending what device you use, on my SG3 with custom rom I have none of the issues currently that some have like moving widgets, RAM usage etc.

I love the fluidity of it and often show it off to friends who are all impressed.

No way I could go to a conventional launcher now.

[Android General] mani0608:
hahaha... Thats funny.

I am using galaxy note II with stock rom (rooted). This may be your opinion until you come across these issues. But once you get into those issues then you will feel the same. Yes, you may be right. there are many users outside xda.

Its not only me, there are other people in XDA facing these issue and they have already raised it in this forum. So, if you are not facing any issues then be happy with it. My post is intended for poeple who facing such issues and those issues were not fixed yet.
[Android General] rexboy:
Just posting my opinion like the person I was replying to as you are too. The other person said mentioned looks like the launcher is dying that's why I replied saying I disagree.

Of course don't deny there are probs like many launchers.

As you said I am happy with it lol.

Just wouldn't want to turn some off because they believe it's widespread problems. The point I was making was that it's not all doom and gloom that some are facing.

It's important to post balanced feedback so others can see that it can in fact work and on what devices, roms etc.

Not just issues but posts are also aimed at idea gathering so some of the devs creating themes and Like sinyo who is in the inner circle of TSF devs can hopefully pass on potential ideas, wish lists etc.

Why on earth you would find my original post funny is funny itself.

As said some have issues some don't but as you said hope they do address you and others are facing :)

I'm also experiencing no problems with the launcher, its butter smooth and no issues at all (SGN 4.1.2). I love the launcher BUT....

Development process is really slow for android environment there were a few launchers when TSF is first released as beta, now there a lot of launchers that is complete and TSF is still beta stage. I know TSF is a unique 3D launcher but this should not be the reason for slow development process. Still not stable as rock for many devices. Support for themes, themes for widgets etc. should be released.

TSF team wants to earn so much money with this launcher but they also dont want to share the money by hiring new developers. This way of thinking will be the end of this launcher...
[Android General] mani0608:
So you are the voice of the voiceless.

You said its my opinion and not everyone's. But it looks like you are speaking for everyone's opinion. So that's why i said its funny.

I accept a part of what you said. It should be a balanced feedback. But from what i see and what i know, the progress of the launcher is not so good.

It should be fasten and the launcher is not stable yet, which means it still has issues. Thats why i called it a dying launcher. There is nothing wrong in it and i have the right to say it as, like everyone here, i paid.
[Android General] rexboy:
Lol I'm not arguing with you mate, relax. Of course you have a right to say whatever, did I say you didn't, read!

Ps it's been out for ages so yep agreed it's pricey and shouldn't be by now but you realise it's still titled as beta.

Obviously TSF themselves not 100% confident to release as proper yet.

Voice of the voiceless WTF, do you think everyone who reads, posts of course not hence why I'm saying for the 2nd time it works for some it doesn't for others so newbies to the thread can try with their own free will with a balanced expectation that it may be problem free like it is for me.

Anyways pointless, we'll agree to disagree, don't want to subject others excited to see new posts having to read our dribble so I won't reply if you do.

Once again for what TSF charge I truly hope it's out of beta soon and problem free for all.

Ps besides here have you replied direct to the TSF devs regarding your issues (not being sarcastic, just get the hint some think TSF actively follow this thread which they probably don't that's all)

[Android General] catman51:
Well, pretty quiet here, just wondering how long until the update?
[Android General] theprincemoh:
didn't like it actually

i think stock is better
[Android General] ketani73:
Is it enough to write "v1.9.9.6 coming soon" ?? The Dev lacks professionalism & it seems our Golden Bridge "Sinjiyo" has resigned from being a good mediator !!!

No hopes left really....
[Android General] yaatzek:
I was little off TSF for some time expanding my holo series to next launcher (bleh :) ) My art nouveau theme is almost finished (this with pretty girls ;) ) But for others I seek some inspiration. I mean in GP there are already wooden, stone, car, girl, etc. etc. themes.

What would you like better than stock?
[Android General] rexboy:
True, in playstore there's actually quite a few themes already. Not many free ones lol but still fair bit.

Maybe variation of chrome, carbon fibre look, neon glow, linear, minimalistic, flame look or even movie / game themes like wolverine with a shredded look etc.

Notice many themes work on icon development but folders generally bit boring, perhaps some new folder look etc.

Sent from my GS3
[Android General] yaatzek:
I mainly concentrate on the general look of the launcher itself, I am not interested in icon designing for two reasons: there are already lots of icon packs and it's frankly non stop work with that, because there is a lot of apps as you know :) Besides that I really like the default icon look, for me it is enough that I can change it's cover to match the them.

p.s. if you can't buy me a beer for my themes (their on sale now in gp :) ) I can send you whichever you want for free as I said here before. Guys from the tsf thread are privileged :)
[Android General] mani0608:
I talked to [MENTION=2352859]sinjiyo[/MENTION] two days back and he said he doesn't have any updates...

He will surely keep us posted when he gets updates. So, don't loose hope, we will be getting the update soon mate.
[Android General] CCallahan:
I use TSF on my phone and Nova Prime on my tablet. Do wish TSF had capability to use the icon packs like other launchers. Not a whole theme but just the icon packs. I know Icon Packager is able to do it but I feel this is something a launcher that costs $15+ should be able to do. Paid less than $1 for Nova Prime. Most that have never used TSF before hear about the price and never even consider using it after that. Maybe if there were more options/themes in the Play store it would draw more attention.
[Android General] yaatzek:
If I remember right Sinjiyo said something about it or maybe it was only a beautiful dream :)

[Android General] sshafranko:
Hey guys I went back to Nova Prime for a little while. I have both launchers set up on my phone and I go back and forth when I get bored. I thought I would never leave TSF but my nova is about twice as fast. Maybe not as smooth but its kinda fun. No animations but it moves like a rocket compared to tsf. Just thought I would share the idea of having two launchers set up to bounce around in for those who get bored easy like me. GL

Same setup and same story here

Find myself using Nova more than TSF ..
[Android General] sshafranko:
Yea its weird I thought I would never go back but I actually miss the simplicity of a stock like launcher. Nothing bad aboit tsf jist my preference. I will still use both.

Anyone know why I dont see nova running in the background under apps/running llike you see tsf?

Sent from my SCH-I605 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Android General] dawabz94:
Go to Settings/Application manager/Running, hit the upper/right button labeled "Show cached processes" then you'll see Nova

See attached screenshots for instruction
[Android General] pappschlumpf:
It's still instable, crash, crash, that suckz so much !!!!
[Android General] dawabz94:
Similar story here too

Still have to select TSF as my default launcher after a reboot (Note 2), Sometimes, simply changing a wallpaper or theme crashes

I miss something as simlpe as having a shortcut on my home screen that brings me to the drawer

TSF is very promissing but I'm disapointed, had so much hop ... even smoothness is not that good, and screen rotation is really ugly, I was expecting something more ... TSF'ish

At last, noticed TSF often reloads widgets, even if auto-rotation not activated ... well animation are GREAT, smoothness is almost flawless but I find myself unable to make it my daily driver ..

Maybe next update ..
[Android General] mani0608:
I gave up TSF a long ago. I am using Go launcher and Next Launcher. I am happy with the updates and bug fixes they provide. Rarely switch back to TSF :( :(
[Android General] sshafranko:
Yea mine occassionally stilll crashes too amongst other little bugs still present. You would think with 10,000+ downloads which is at least $150, 000.00 which in China im sure goes a long way they would be ablle to get their chit together and put out something that works. And it sounds like theirs only 1-3 guys working on this thing so its not like the money is being spread out to 20 people. They could make a great living just from this launcher if they tryed. Anyway just another coulld have should have story. They should sell it to someone who can take it to the next level.

Mee mee mee mee mee! The whining kids are here again. Maybe you guys are just not able to install the launcher correctly. Lots of people don't have any issues since the latest updates, so better think about it.

In my phone TSF is the best launcher at all I try all launcher but no one as tsf. Fast .no bugs. All things are good. .it need more things also merge to it maybe in next updates
[Android General] CCallahan:
Same here. I really do think it is the specs of the device it is being installed on that makes a difference. I've tried all the launchers out there and nothing can do the things TSF can. Do agree that development could move along a bit quicker because TSF has been in beta for quite a while. However, one must take into account that TSF is incorporating things that are not found anywhere else so these type of abilities take time.

I do use Nova on my tablet but for my phone TSF is the king.
[Android General] Jonny176:
If I wanted a launcher that looks and acts like all the other launchers I wouldn't have gotten TSF.. it's smoother more innovative and faster than almost any other launcher all while having interesting transitions and one of the best UI's out there.... Long live TSF!

You can try the last release it is good in my phone at least. Because the next update maybe take more time no one here know when release;)
[Android General] dawabz94:
I'm sorry but ... On my note 2,

- TSF is not faster/smoother than Nova

- I do not need to re-Select Nova as my default launcher after a reboot, I have to do it with TSF. I don't want to use their patch, it does not make sens

- When I add a widget while in portrait, when I rotate the screen to configure landscape view, sometimes, the widget is so badly misplaced that it's hard to reach - at worst, I have to start again. No such problem with Nova

- When rotating the screen, animation is so ugly, every widget is redrawn is such an ugly way, Nova does a better job there

- TSF keeps reloading my PowerAmp widget, thus sometime it becomes unresponsive, waiting for TSF to finish reloading it. Same for FM Radio widget - really annoying

- TSF still does not support icon packs.

- TSF can not be set as system app (Nova can with no issue at all).

- TSF won't work properly on MIUI (unable to add widgets), Nova works fine on MIUI (need to be configured as a system app which is easy with titanium Backup and works very well).

- I already had something weird, TSF started repeatedly FC'ing on me (no obvious reason). I cleared cache and data, uninstalled the app then re-install and it was still FC'ing on me. Had to factory reset to get TSF back. Never had anything similar with Nova.

I guess I forgot some other annoying things but according to my own experience, TSF is far from being perfect - I still love it for being innovative, and offering something refreshing and hope gets better but ... for the time being, I still consider it as a beta.

For a Launcher I bought a

high price

,

months ago

, it's a bit disappointing :(

Oh ... I Forgot, it always takes months for each update without any explanation of what's in the roadmap. so if you are waiting for a bug to be solved, you're good to wait for several months before checking. and if yuor issue is still there, you're good for another couple of months waiting ..

Try to send them a mail and you receive the same automated mail again and again ..

I'm sorry but ... I think I'm not happy with this anymore :(

I use a Note 2 and TSF is my default launcher. I like Google Now and it's the only launcher I've tried that works properly with it. I use the boot up patch so it stays default. I don't care how its done as long as it works. I do not use landscape mode so I can't speak to the problems there. With respect to widgets I've found if you don't stretch them to the limits of the screen I don't get widget displacement. Love the convenient simple note pad....use it all the time. The animations, the smoothness. Apex and Nova and Next bore me death. This is the only launcher that has stepped outside the box and the box was getting tiresome. They should continue to tweak and refine this and then it will be perfect.

[Android General] mb523:
I'm so confused why they're adding another way to access apps when there are already a few other ways to do that in the launcher already. It just seems like there are so many other things they could be working on such as FORCE CLOSES, more helpful widgets such as an email widget or a calendar widget, "TSF is loading" over and over, being able to change the icons to other icon packs that aren't working, more themes, etc.
[Android General] ammarsg:
Yes i am with you for all these things but i think tsf in this position best in my phone at least.no crash. No fc...need more widgets.calender and also need update there music widget .i see next music widget sooo nice. Add folder and artist choice to music widget...but all these need time for tow person developer...i suggest shorting the update time as other launchers even if few update done...in last thanks TSF developer

Not yet my friend....comming soon only
[Android General] yaatzek:
Tsf has that "something". Tried most of the launchers out there and tsf is still number one for me. It's expensive, it isn't stable yet, it lacks some things but it's great. I only hope that the devs will keep their work going no matter if it will be one update in three or six months, if they only keep the progress up. After last updates it is quite stable for me (although misplacing widgets happen from time to time) but some users experience more troubles with it as I can read here. The launcher is very individual case, for now tsf beats all the others at this time me.
[Android General] ammarsg:
Yes. And we want also tsf support icon pack like all other launchers. Nice idea in other launchers
[Android General] crullick:
+99

that would be a relief

although if you install a pack for adw/go it includes it in the choice when changing icon

however, i would like to have same icons in the drawer and on screen :cowboy:
[Android General] mani0608:
I have personally asked sinjiyo about it a 1000 times. But he says it is possible in future but not now... But one thing i can say is that, as sinjiyo told before, we can get theme mixer at the earliest and not the icon pack support... :(

Is anyone able to get Xposed working well with TSF Shell? I keep getting a force close.

[Android General] pappschlumpf:
No, same problem here. To bad, that unicon needs the xposed framework. Xposed is influencing the RootBox lockscreen, too. If it is installed launching camera from lockscreen is not working. I hope tsf and xposed will be updated soon!

I think "TSF growing team " as stated on their website should focus on stability and performance before adding features like "New Arch Shortcut" or anything else.

This thread is full of issues (some have been reported long ago) and are still not fixed

I did not buy this to show off or demo, I'd like to use it actually ... and it is not stable enough to be my daily driver yet.

Irritated with Slow updates

I am really irritated with such a long waiting for a single feature. I don't think TSF team is working hard like before. They have become very sluggish and slowly losing the confidence.
