[Android General] ketani73:
At last the suspense is over , looking at the content this update is offering , the only thing i am praying for is the "performance stability of this launcher"...
[Android General] dawabz94:
Wondering what is behind the "Known bugs"

The list of fixed bugs should have been mentionned

Will check though

Thanks
[Android General] tool_king:
Well, the non detailed mentioned known bugs are some kind of TSF's easter egg. ;)
[Android General] ammarsg:
Good and nice next update we wait it for more things that we need them

Thanks tsf developers
[Android General] Jonny176:
Really glad to see the batch icon editor! Looks like it will be a great update.. Amazing how a date and some details can give me such patience ;).. Happily waiting:)

Hahaha

:D

I think I'll definitely consider my money wasted if this update still feels unfinished

This thing has been out for quit a long time now and is still beta ?! .. seen the version ?! 1.9.9.6

what will be next ? 1.9.9.6.3 then 1.9.9.6.3.5 and so I guess ... V2 will be for my son when he's grown up

I'm almost ready to bet TSF not set as default after reboot will still be there

4 days to go, we'll see

Have a nice day :)
[Android General] mani0608:
Whatever the case may be... just 4 days...

So get ready to

Go to Home Manager > Clear Default Home > Select TSF as your default launcher

:) :)
[Android General] tool_king:
Oh my god, how will the TSF team survive without you, mate?! :p
[Android General] InkSlinger420:
I assume you have tried the patch for default..that's not an issue for me....

sent from my SGH-I577/LiquidSmooth/1.5oc LZ kernel
[Android General] dawabz94:
Yes I tried the patch but when applied, TSF appears as a 'normal' process thus when I ask the note 2's native task manager to end all processes, TFS is killed also

It's a big annoyance since it takes quite some time to load again ..

And I don't find it a normal way of doing things, the launcher should behave normally as the bunch of other launchers out there ...

Sure they will, they got my money already :P

It's a great software but I think they are not focusing on the right priorities :)
[Android General] chekkko10:

[Android General] InkSlinger420:
You could always..

Use THIS:

http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=5021

Download the script and run it.

It has a built in option which is named:"Bulletproof Apps" or something like that.

Or THIS:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1012330

Which is only the how to lock the app in memory.

Recomended is the first solution because it's more user friendly...

If those don't work...pimpmyrom has an option to lock launcher in memory...works top notch for me....

Good luck

Now I'm thinking positive and sending a positive message to universe but I think tsf team don't care about it :D

Wow, the new v1.9.9.6 was really worth waiting for. It's just marvellous! :good:

Just kidding. :p

You won't be kidding tomorrow when you will be still waiting for update ;)
[Android General] tool_king:
Well, I really don't care, if the update will be released today, tomorrow or in two weeks. The shell works flawlessly for me already, so I don't need any update, mate! :cool:
[Android General] ketani73:
TSF DEV ROCKS..!!!! Always up to his terrific reputation of "never updating on the date specified" ....!!! I have no doubt that the update will appear on 7th August at 23.55 I.S.T !!!

P.S....I have one more huge doubt , whether the DEV meant 15th August & by mistake wrote 5th August...Anything is possible guys..!!
[Android General] yaatzek:
+1 to that, for me it also works well.
[Android General] jenizaro:
I just received a mail about translating new things in TSF. So don't expect update today :)

There you have it, the punctuality of TSF team... :) But wait you still have time till 11:59 PM... ;)

Surprises me that the developer would constantly give dates that seem to not happen on time? I would think that they would sell alot more if people had confidence that fixes and updates would happen as scheduled... Just my opinion

[Android General] yaatzek:
This is really odd, I don't remember any app developer which gives dates when he will release an update. I know why, because developing isn't that easy :) you can't tell that you finish to develop something on some specific date. Why do they write those dates?
[Android General] tool_king:
Well, if you are already ready and you feel completely sure, that you will finish the next version until some certain date, then you won't see any problem in giving a release date to your users, especially when they already had to wait some months for the next update.

But let's see, maybe they will manage to release it at least almost (!) in time. ;)
[Android General] yaatzek:
I don't agree with that, anyone who had something to do with code developing knows that giving a "date" isn't really a good idea. Especially when you develope something new which requires some "pioneer coding". If it isn't done and it's not working 100% how do you know when it will be working good? Such problems can be solved in minutes or weeks... or months. I think this is the problem of general frustration here over tsf devs.

It would be better if they would just wrote what should we expect in next update not when.
[Android General] tool_king:
Yes and no. You are right, giving a release date isn't a good idea, if you haven't already finished the development of the release yet.

But on the other hand, you know the guys in here, some weeks after the latest release they start crying for the next one, and if there isn't such a next release within a month, they start thinking, that the project has been finished by the developers, that the devs just wanted there money and that they won't ever finish the still in beta shell.
[Android General] mani0608:
Thats the way it should be when they get so much money

for a single launcher. When the DEVs expect so much money

for their app, the users will also expect more, you know.
[Android General] tool_king:
"So much money"? Are you serious? :confused:
[Android General] ammarsg:
crying :crying: nooooo :rolleyes: if they did not finish any release the should not put any data for it ..every some months they release update and then some friend get fc and something else then they release after 1 or 2 day fixing that problems and then one month for next update ......

but anyway i see tsf best and i never changing it even if they update it one per year :laugh:
[Android General] Rican Bx Bomba:
Anyone using this launcher on the new nexus 7? How is it?
[Android General] CCallahan:
^^I agree. Would be better to just have info on what is coming and leave the release date off it. Better to do that than constantly setting a date of release and missing it. Problem with a lot of devs is they either don't have any business experience or no people skills whatsoever which is why having sinjiyo in here every so often to communicate really helped.
[Android General] MRFERRARI23:
I am using it on my new nexus 7 and it works really good no issues that I can see.
[Android General] ketani73:
It is 6th August everywhere in the world , TSF DEV lives up to his reputation once again (for not updating the app on the given date) !! 3 cheers for TSF .....No cheers for us...
[Android General] yaatzek:
Yep, I think everyone knew that would happen...

edit:

now their site is down, they are probably changing the date :D
[Android General] mani0608:
No they have revamped their site to promote the release of V2.0

The date for 1.9.9.6 has not changed yet... :p
[Android General] yaatzek:
nice, but wait... there is no release date! I can't handle it! ahhhhh!
[Android General] jenizaro:
I just cancelled the update. I will release it whenever I want. Ok? :laugh:
[Android General] ketani73:
I am starting to think (sorry, the thought had already crossed my mind) that there will be no update 1.9.9.6 ....Our honorable DEV actually means that now we are supposed to wait endlessly for v2.0 !!! Year 2014 precisely....

Cheers once again.....
[Android General] jenizaro:
Yesterday I translated the new things for Turkish language. Today when I look at the page I saw that they added a new sentence "Let's get social". I think they are adding their social pages under settings menu and then we will have the new update. (just my opinion of course) :)

[Android General] Che123:
Waited for so long to see this launcher coming, and now i'm kind of disappointed.

I already bought spb shell some months ago, and I still regret it - if developers want to charge such a high price it's their right, but I won't waste / spend this much again for a bit eyecandy... I doubt this would be my daily launcher.

At least they could have published a trial version ... >.<
[Android General] superstargoddess:
Rocks my socks on my Razr with Axi0m AOKP. Crazy ass fast! I agree with the others, either my own widgets don't resize or I haven't figured out how to do it yet. Either way, I'm sure they will make it an option in the future. Going to take me forever to figure this thing out!
[Android General] ingenious247:
Meh.. I decided to go ahead and buy it again and keep it this time.

Figure if anything, I can show off my SGS2 to iPhone users by jumping between my customized LPP, SPB and now TSF launchers.. Keep them all installed, why not?

Besides, I have no problem supporting Devs.. it's 16 bucks for me, countless hours for them.
[Android General] mcord11758:
Interesting but not even worth a third of the asking price. So lacking of common features you would expect from android
[Android General] gomezzz:
:-(

1st I had to wait more than 2 months till it's out and now, when it's finally available for download I can't even try it, cause Market says: "T-Mobile Samsung GT-I9100

This item is not compatible with your device"

is it because I'm running on LPH? according to user reviews, it's working on other ICS devices/ROMs...
[Android General] goTouch:
I gave my 15 minutes try but it didn't open on my SGS2. I'm running the superb CheckRom RevoHD v6 ROM on my SGS2.

Better luck to me next time.

I was disappointed that I have a apps section and a folder section. I hate having a app drawer then say a Games folder that has the same apps in it. If I move a Game to the Games folder i don't want to see it in the app list. I'll forgot to move a app to Games and forget about it.
[Android General] davilu:
I can only pull app out of two folders like a snake as it was shown on the demo, does anybody know why?
[Android General] davilu:
I got it, you need to have more than 7 apps in the folder so u can pull them out as little snakes.... Lol!
[Android General] ssimmmo:
Good launcher but still needs a lot of work doing to it but defo worth keeping watch at Devoplment side of it. As I think it quite up par with SPB Shell/Yandex. Very smooth and fast but until I can press home button to go back to start screen I will be waiting in the ranks ..the price still worries me slightly. I took a chance with spb shell and brought it but had taken me about 3 weeks just to press accept and download if it hadn't been for my daughter that press the accept button early I would be still sitting here now.
[Android General] mcord11758:
Very buggy
[Android General] lonestrider:
very expensive.

still good looking.
[Android General] SmittyRN:
This.

I'm not a dev, but I've gotta figure there is a ton more work that goes into this than a calender app that sells for a couple of bucks. As long as they continue to work and keep improving it, I think it's worth the price of a burger and a couple of beers. I think SPB Shell was a waste of money because they never seemed to get it past the demo stage; if they had put more work into it, I might be using it right now.

Up and running smooth on my SGS2.

[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
That's not a bug or problem. That's new Android 4.3 notification service. TSF Shell needs this to avoid lockups when returning from apps. It's always been like this but now it's visible due to that new notification service.
[Android General] yaatzek:
...aaand you can disable it by clicking that notification and unticking show notification.
[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
Not really, this just a momentary solution. Once you reboot the notification will be back, either enabled or not. It's a persistent system... And somehow annoying. Google should've thought this a bit more.
[Android General] yaatzek:
I know that, but how many times you reboot your phone? Besides that the notification will be back also when tsf reloads. So this is only solution for now to get rid of it. First time I was also annoyed by it, now I just leave it as it is and don't look at it :)
[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
Yeah, I don't really care anymore. I guess I just got used to it :)
[Android General] CCallahan:
Am I missing something? Are you talking about 1.9.9.6 or the upcoming 2.0 update? If it is the 2.0 where are you finding a changelog/info for it?

I still see no way in current TSF to apply icon packs, only theme packs.
[Android General] jenizaro:
Yes you are missing so much :D

Menu-preferences-themes-icon-choose icon pack you want and bam! you can apply all icon packs
