Very smooth and again better. :)
[Android General] gogogog:
nearly perfect!
[Android General] dinesh690:
Never used a launcher as smooth as this and I have used em all. It's actually like iOS smooth which is the only thing going for iOS IMO. Worth the 10 pounds I paid for it

have you guys seen the tsf shell v3 beta 3 i am liking it its really awesome but they need to activate the dock hide system again...
[Android General] tool_king:
Beta 3 was already released on August 9th, so yes, all of us have seen it (and it's obvious issues) yet. [emoji6]
[Android General] tool_king:
"To balance the requirement of the static dock with the sliding dock, we have to merge these modes."

Which requirement of the static dock? There are tons of launchers out there with a static dock. Nobody needs another launcher with a static dock. They should kick the static dock out and go back to the sliding dock and the sidebar immediately, before lots of people change to other launchers. Me for example, who enjoys Action Launcher in the meantime. [emoji6]
[Android General] ammarsg:
Perfect words ...as all tsf users know and choice it by it different in style from other launchers
[Android General] mani0608:
I am planning to switch back to Touch Wiz until this launcher becomes TSF again.

I am started getting lots of weird issues recently. Swiping right sometimes displays both app drawer and the home-screen, sometimes few icons were displayed very small inside app drawer. Also it would be good if the nova icon pack compatibility is improved. Till that i am planning to be with my stock launcher.
[Android General] Jonny176:
Maybe I've just been very lucky but since installing I've been bug and crash free... While it's quite different from the original tsf it's been very smooth and lag free. I do miss the side bar but hopefully that's coming back. There definitely needs to be better icon support and can't wait for the contact widget looks interesting. The communication from the dev seems to be the biggest problem

[Android General] mani0608:
Yes you read my mind regarding incorrect ETAs from dev. Me too not getting these initially but as the days goes I have started experiencing these issues. They were intermittent. But as you said the launcher experience is still smooth.
[Android General] mtcrew:
The new beta is going to upset a lot of theme developers. The new beta eliminated 50% of the editable framework of the launcher. Not sure that's the best move especially since themes were a huge draw to tsf shell. Now what's setting it apart?
[Android General] catman51:
Wow, they're really screwing up.

Tapatalk'd from my Galaxy Note 3
[Android General] yaatzek:
Yeah, I thought the same when I first saw new beta: there is nothing to theme! Oh well, guess I'll change my theming profile :) I was always thinking about making custom icons.
[Android General] mani0608:
But recently I reported incompatibility with some of Nova icon packs to TSF and they said they will look into it.

Good luck

Could always just avoid the update and stick with the one with working themes and all the goodies that made TSF awesome and different from all the other launchers. Nobody has to take a Update.

Stickied with my post-it-note 3

[Android General] tool_king:
"2014/8/17 We fixed a dozen bug and modified some operation in the Beta 4. To balance the requirement of the static dock with the sliding dock, we have to merge these modes. Therefore we will more a few days more to complete and release the Beta 4."

So, in a few days - whatever this will mean in TSF-language. ;)

I surely thought it will our tool_king who will reply next. Kudos to you mate ☺

I'm afraid to update to this newest beta and lose features and functionality that I've grown to love about TSF shell. When is this app getting updated via the Play Store again?

This time it's your turn, mate![emoji1]
[Android General] mani0608:
It seems like all flights were cancelled in china and the update has to walk to reach all the countries and users. Hence takes a little more time. [MENTION=5151580]tool_king[/MENTION] Thanks for the opportunity mate. :)
[Android General] mani0608:
As per the recent update on Facebook it seems the team is still working on the sliding dock and looks like the next beta won't be released anytime soon :(
[Android General] tool_king:
That's really poor .How can they release v3 beta without having tested, if such an elementary feature like the sliding dock can be merged properly? The devs seem to act unprofessional imo.
[Android General] catman51:
So, if they are just going to F it up, I'm going to stick with the old version.
[Android General] MRasri:
nice
[Android General] catman51:
New video up on Facebook showing a new delete animation. Instead of adding new animations, fix it and get the next beta out.
[Android General] mani0608:
Sadly, I couldn't see any changes to the dock in that video.
[Android General] queenhunter:
thanks to tsf team

tsf team did a amazing job with this version just need a few changes then it will be again the most awesome launcher in the world again...

again thanks tsf team for bringing something awesome......
[Android General] tool_king:
You must be one of the devs, mate! :p
[Android General] queenhunter:
dont insult me man was just thanking them for there hard work for long time..

they deserve it :cowboy:
[Android General] catman51:
Well, no hiding dock, no themes, no beta 4. They're doing a great job.

They said a couple days for Beta 4 a week ago.
[Android General] lynux.source:
Yeah I've seen this I thought it looked amazing, have to say Kudos to the devs :D
[Android General] catman51:
Another new video on Facebook of more gimmicks, so rather than releasing beta 4, they're adding more crap. I guess this will go on till December. One year for a new version.

What a joke.
[Android General] catman51:
So, everybody give up on tsf?
[Android General] ammarsg:
we still waiting [emoji38] [emoji38] [emoji36] [emoji36] [emoji69] [emoji69] ..not doing anything other than waiting for beta 4[emoji6]
[Android General] rexboy:
For me is still a great launcher, provides the foundation of what's needed.

The obvious shortfall is that the initial eye candy is becoming boring and what was once considered wow is normal to many of us now.

Have been tempted to see so many new launchers coming out and the likes of next with endless updates.

The other pain point is the slow updates and failure to deliver accurate dates of release.

I think TSF was ahead of its time when it first came out but slowly the competition is catching up.

Hope the TSF team are able to impress everyone once again like how they once did when first released.

Everything gets boring after awhile. For me Nova has the longest life with a very active community with cool home screen, icon, theme ideas through Google+.
[Android General] catman51:
I'm with Nova again, way more updates than this thing has had in a year. Smooth and no problems.
[Android General] smeddy:
I'm bouncing between Nova and TSF. TSF is my favourite but I'm angsty for a new homescreen. Honestly I wish the debs would keep quiet until they have something to launch. It's thst which causes bad karma
[Android General] catman51:
No postings on Facebook since August 28th. I guess they are out of business.

Already tried it in the morning and now this looks like a Tsf Shell (true tsf shell) :P the only thing i didn't like is that they have not yet uploaded contact widget apk.arrggggg
[Android General] tool_king:
The beloved sidebar is still not integrated after more than a month from beta 3 to beta 4. Very poor! So, back to Action Launcher for me.
[Android General] catman51:
Yes, no sidebar and widgets don't resize like in the released version. Not good.
[Android General] ahmad 25:
every things work perfectly for me try to delete the old version and reinstall the new one

they add new dockbar not sidebar as users need ...maybe they not understood good what users mean by side bar :eek:....anyone know how to delete multiple apps from drawer screen :D
[Android General] mani0608:
I personally like the new update. Sliding dock merged, and lot of annoying bugs were fixed. Especially the issue with app icons being retained for uninstalled apps. I just got only one force close while trying to remove the toggle added to the preferences menu. Apart from that the update looks good. I would be happy if TSF could support icon masking like the Nova Launcher so that we won't have any issues with applying Nova Icon Packs. I really appreciate the effort. Thanks to TSF team.

Frankly, i was switching between different launchers like Next, 2tap launcher. I liked the 2tap launcher. But after the recent update, i am back to my most favorite launcher.
[Android General] mani0608:
Beta 5 now available. Looks good.
[Android General] tool_king:
Is it just not mentioned in the changelog, or is the sidebar still missing? :(
[Android General] mani0608:
Sadly, Sidebar and contact widget were still pending mate :(
[Android General] ahmad 25:
in my opinion they are doing very good job

slid bar available you can hide the dock one and put the slid in its place (they cant make it any other way because the old bottom have new job)

if they keep upgrading as soon as possible we will have our beloved launcher with many new options and that's all i want :good::good::good:

one more thing if they can more decoration like airship that would really be great
[Android General] catman51:
Can you reduce widgets now?

Tapatalk'd from my Galaxy Note 3
[Android General] scoobmd:
You mean rescaling the widgets? So far after playing with it for the past hour, yes.

This is my first time playing with the beta since you can now restore previous settings into the new Beta and I like it.

question- how do you get the sliding dock to work? I enabled it from the setting but cannot figure out how to put apps into the sliding dock. I'm sure it's something obvious...

[Android General] catman51:
Yes, I'm on Nova. That side bar was one of their top points.
[Android General] yaatzek:
I was gonna act like the tsf devs and don't write anything but my human part won, soooo... I have also moved to nova :) the way they go with their development is totally wrong imo, they strip the launcher from the features it was different from all the other in the market.

as i saw most of us moved to other launcher like me also to next launcher but surly one eye always for tsf when come back again in this year maybe

[Android General] scoobmd:
Not to get too far off topic but can you guys recommend a launcher that is as versatile at resizing widgets like TSF?

The side launcher would be a plus but until then, I'm really enjoying the ability to resize the screen widgets without restrictions.

I paid for TSF and will continue to check out their Facebook page from time to time but I'm open to new ideas.
[Android General] Alanon:
For resizing widgets, and much more, I recommend using ssLauncher. It basicslly gives you a clean board for you to put stuff on.
[Android General] mb523:
Hi guys,

I haven't used TSF in a while but I still come here to check to see if there has been any updates. Anyway, I see many of us that really liked the slide out dock and I wanted to recommend an app I found a few months ago that has been great. It's called "Glovebox" and it's a slide out dock, very customizable, it's been working out quite well. :)

[Android General] Alanon:
I've just been playing around the last TSF Beta 5.1 and there seemed/seems to be a bug with scrolling wallpapers. While this was annoying me, I tried installing several other launchers, among them Next Launcher, and was very surprised it outperformed TSF in every way. It was speedy, it had every piece of eye-candy TSF has (swinging widgets, funny widget-pets, custom usability widgets, thumb effects...), every transition, press, and other effect, a multitude of themes, full-featured icon designer, parallax effect... Without more features it just doesn't seem necessary to install TSF. In fact, the only reason to do so would be the invisible dock bar and the now missing sidebar.
[Android General] mani0608:
Don't believe her... Anne is a "BIT**".
[Android General] crullick:
although nobody is in favor of bragging about other launchers in this thread; i thank you for the info (some people/devs do what they get paid to do)

however, TSF has a charisma and something that keeps peeps :) amazed

i've been up&down with TSF and now "stuck" with Nova <> gives me enough, takes very little; last time i checked Next >> it was really heavy with a piece of junk i call my phone (but loving it like a good father) :)

for this price it would be nice to have The most best launcher.......
