It seems TSF got another update , but I never came across any issue with any widgets (clock is working nice, message widget also working from the first release), no more "white box" in non-TSF widget area and not even single crash or reload. I am using it in galaxy note with 4.03(I did not update to JB since some issue is there with stock JB). So I was wondering whether I should update to newer version or just stick to the stable version.

Just found one issue , i.e. theme folder icon is not working anymore :( , I think themes need update :cowboy:
[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
Thanks, just downloaded/installed it.

Almost everything looks good (as usual). There's only one minor issue: folders names are cropped, please see the screenshot attached.
[Android General] Leechoonhwee:
Dude there's no stable version since day one. I never got through one day without having issues with it. Now it's just collecting dust in the play store for me.
[Android General] jenizaro:
I think we should expect sth from 1.9.9.4 update. This 1.9.9.2 update and its just bugfixes. :cool:
[Android General] jakeinator21:
The version I used before this was flawless, I never had any issues with it.
[Android General] flandra:
Can someone explain to me what the choice with the three screens on the left does?

I try to expand the dock bar but I can't...
[Android General] L00n:
supposed to be a different transition effect.

you can hide the status bar from the option : Desktop > Show notification bar - "uncheck"
[Android General] flandra:
Iwant to make big again the dock bar, not the notification bar...
[Android General] jenizaro:
I'm having so much restart! Nearly every time when I unlock the phone :confused:
[Android General] yaatzek:
Remember it's a beta :) Try to clean everything and reinstall taf that for resolved some probs after update.
[Android General] tool_king:
Have you tried long-press the "..."-button and pull it to the right side?
[Android General] flandra:
Yes it cant be pressed
[Android General] tool_king:
It seems that you got me wrong. You can expand your dock bar by long-Pressing hte "..."-button and pulling it to the right side. At least for me it works like that.
[Android General] flandra:
I understand but It cant be done...
[Android General] tool_king:
Well, have you tried to reset the shell under backup/restore in the preferences?
[Android General] flandra:
Yes when I did the back up was small and when I did the restore stayed small....:rolleyes:
[Android General] tool_king:
You have to read what I've written, man! I didn't write about restoring anythging, but to try to RESET your shell in "Backup/Restore" in the Preferences. :cyclops:
[Android General] mastroalex:
I can't find what the first button on the left does. Any hint?
[Android General] nadia520:
same here... but the message has slightly gone wrong sometimes after the latest update
[Android General] mastroalex:
Folder icon is still scrambled.
[Android General] tool_king:
It gives you some kind of 3D effect switching the screens if it's activated. You'll notice the difference better, if you switch your screens slowly.
[Android General] ammarsg:
The massege widget not show all massege only sent why this problem
[Android General] mastroalex:
To be honest I can't see any effect :eek:
[Android General] ra6:
It's like transition effect..if you set it on the transition is more like 'cube'.

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Android General] meangreenie:
You actually have to have widgets/folders/icons ect to be able to see the affects... each setting seems to apply to only certain objects.. icons/folders/system-widgets/tsf-widgets
[Android General] mastroalex:
Nope... I really can't see any difference. :D It's fine, anyway. Shame for that scrambled folder icon, it's strange it happens even with the stock theme.
[Android General] tool_king:
I don't use folders at all, but wasn't this bug fixed in update 1.9.9.2? Which version do you have?
[Android General] catman51:
.3 is listed on the website in a few days, hope it does away with my constant crashing problem.
[Android General] tool_king:
This screenshot was taken on April 7th (!, not 6th).
[Android General] pappschlumpf:
Do you have no apps in the dock, or is there a way to collapse it like this? My dock icons are always show, i can only make the dock smaller.

[Android General] mastroalex:
This is how folder icon look since I updated to 1.9.9 and 1.9.9.2 in stock and latest DiCikonz theme.

I tried to uninstall - reinstall, cleaned data, reset and restart, etc.
[Android General] Jonny176:
Think it depends on the developer of the theme after Sinjiyo updated his Meego all is good again
[Android General] ammarsg:
nice where can we find the update from market 1!! and the font is nice too what is the name of font
[Android General] Jonny176:
The update was in the playstore for the theme and the font is Zemke hand
[Android General] ammarsg:
thx but how can i change the font in 4.2.2 rootbox did y know please
[Android General] tool_king:
No, I don't have any apps in the dock.
[Android General] Jonny176:
No I'm sorry I don't know... Maybe Sinjiyo knows
[Android General] deviant_cryptic:
Same problem here
[Android General] rexboy:
Ive updated this theme as well and on 1.9.9 the folders appear correctly for me.

I Know you mentioned a clean install, restart etc but have you imported an old TSF layout/settings etc that may be conflicting.

What ROM/device you using? Any other folder issues on other themes (including stock)?

Besides the odd freeze, new update working reasonably good for me, just the usual gripes that have already been posted like cant resizing the clock widget, photos on mail widget, Non TSF compatibility widget issues (APW widget works fine for FB but not for calendar for me), cant turn off new dock etc

Ps Finally found this thread again after XDA admins turned off the search/recent activity options lol. cant wait until they turn it back on
[Android General] zedawg:
its a bit overpriced...
[Android General] counterz:
Much improved

The google now widget doesn't look or function correctly.

Can only get one alert on it, usually just weather and the grey background does not appear just the white box

Google keep widget still a bit laggy too.
[Android General] sinjiyo:
For all user who don't understand how the smart dock work. "how to customised" look this short intro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P22gSolfvX4&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Then, tell me if that's help you.
[Android General] Jonny176:
Sinjiyo any chance of getting the Iblue theme for Tsf?
[Android General] sinjiyo:
Not for now.
[Android General] ammarsg:
what are theme which update till now i try theme box and c3d as i remember it name only work till now for changing folder which other please ?
[Android General] mastroalex:
I deleted any old setup. Any theme is faulty and I'm using stock rom on a Samsung GT-S6802.

Few minutes ago I had an idea, for my screen has a low resolution, and I found out that if I set icon density at any value lower than 1, the problem disappears , on the contrary folder icon is scrambled at any value from 1 and on.
[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
I think I'll just leave this launcher alone for a while, at least until they fix all bugs. I've reported a bunch of them but I haven't received a single reply, maybe they're just overwhelmed right now.

Hoping for the better, enjoy!
[Android General] sshafranko:
For anyone trying to install a theme and not showing up or taking i did this: I backed the theme up in Titanium Backup, then i restored it, click on the side bar and go into themes. The theme was now there but every time i clicked on it and pressed ok to install it wouldn't show up. I then restarted TSF Shell in the settings menu and the theme was there.

Everything is working fine on my Note 2 running 4.1.1 JB Clean Rom Lite. I haven't had time to mess with any widgets yet.
[Android General] ammarsg:
thx the themes are apply but the folder not change this is our problem try it now the folder only and tell us change or not :good:
[Android General] crullick:
good old 1.7.9.4 :D

funny how the functionality and optioning got sacrificed for additional candies that don't work

i guess the cult still stays on :eek:

PCB Themes for TSF Shell UPDATED!

I just wanted to chime in to say that if folders are broken in a theme, then that theme needs to be updated, as sinjiyo has notified us of internal changes to the package files. Anyways, as a good theme developer, I have just completed updating all 9 of my TSF Shell themes! I have spared no expense and styled absolutely everything from the latest v1.9.9 version.

Rather than clog this thread, I invite you to take a look at the following link which has many screenshots of all of my PCB Themes:

» PCB Themes for TSF Shell

Here's a quick screenie of some of the newest designs that are applicable to the changes brought forth in v1.9.9:

Remember, there's PLENTY more at the link above! I hope you guys like all of the extreme work I've put into updating all of my themes. Cheers and enjoy!

Also, special thanks to sinjiyo for keeping us informed - looking forward to what else TSF has to bring us!
[Android General] sshafranko:
Hey scar, ive been looking for an all white theme but with black lettering with no shadow. Your white theme has a grey shadow with white lettering. If you ever happen to make one like that please let me know. I have a theme with white noti bar, white phone dialer buttons and black numbers and fonts. Been dying to implement it but I want matching icons. Your wall paper is awesome.

Gonnavbuy your white...thanks bro

Sent from GNII by TapII
[Android General] scar45:
Thank YOU bro! I'll certainly see what can be done about the White theme. It's quite a bit tricky working with white, because often there is a lot of white text (from other apps, etc.) that would become unreadable. Anyways, I'll do some testing as soon as I can. Updating these HD themes took a lot out of me!
[Android General] sshafranko:
I can imagine...I hope it pays off for you...got the black theme, white, and wall papers...great themes bro keep it going...thnx

Hi scar45, your PCB update for TSF looks gorgeous and it is flawless. Thank you very much :)
[Android General] yaatzek:
Guys I get a weird lag with clock widget. Weird because when using tsf there is no lag, but only thing affected by it is locking the device when I'm on the screen where the clock is. Without it the screen locks instantly, but when it it is there the lock is taking about 2-3 seconds longer. Do you also have noticed it?

And although it is pretty and all it still have problems with updating weather. During last night I got full sun al the night :) I mean it would be nice but I prefer to show a real weather and not that what we would like it to be :D
[Android General] sinjiyo:
Send mail to the team about the useless widget. Miss some basic fonction... Moon in clock widget, resize all tsf widget, biigger note widget, set music widget to control an other player, bigger picture in galerie widget...etc.

Send a lot of feedback on it...they can do it, but for now...they don't want.
[Android General] yaatzek:
Why the hell "they don't want to"?
[Android General] jenizaro:
All devices have different reactions against the launcher and its widgets.

I have "TSF reloading" all day, Yaatzek has laggy scrolling, My GF has not working message widget (still exists after 1.4 update). My friend from work has "TSF Shell stopped" error. What the hell is this sh!t?

They said they were testing widgets and we have waited 3 months. Then? Sunny weather at night! What the f@ck did you test for 3 months? Havent you recognized this in 3 months?

They said they were testing statbility improvements right?

TSF Team is an epic fail!

I'm fed up with sending reports!

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

I dont use galeri widget. Why? Cuz its so small and the loops should be closer we should be able to see more photos.

I dont use weather widget. Why? Cuz Its so small and a bit childish.

I dont use clock&weather widget. Why? Sunny at night

I dont use music widget. Why? No equlizer and no usable playlist abilities.

I dont use note widget. Why? Its so small (I want to use it I have a galaxy note)
[Android General] mb523:
I uninstalled the clock widget and the whole launcher is working better and smoother now.

Also, with the note widget, it would be better if you could edit the note, like be able to erase things you put on it previously.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

Ok I take that back. I left my phone for a little while, went to turn it back on and it's still hesitating and force closing. I guess it had nothing to do with removing the clock. Oh well.
[Android General] clothednblack:
Removed
[Android General] meangreenie:
I prefer the English translated Yandex now. Its very smooth, looks great and is bug free afaics. Oh yeah, it also doesn't cost £10.00.
[Android General] clothednblack:
Please don't advertise in this thread for something other than what this thread is for. That's not cool!
[Android General] jakeinator21:
That's what it costs for me. How did you get it in English?
[Android General] meangreenie:
It's on these forums and it's free launcher.

I was just saying I think there's better out there for free, at least bug wise, not trying to advertise anything: I'm sure people mentioned the 'Next Launcher' in this thread earlier and didn't get chastised.

My point was meant to be more that TSF seems to be going down hill. Hope it recovers.
[Android General] catman51:
The .3 update coming in a few days has been more than a few days. As you can see from the reviews at Play, this launcher is unusable. So, how many new widgets before we can get a stable version that works, because this thing sucks now?
[Android General] tool_king:
Well, if this shell isn't usable for you any longer, there is an easy solution to solve your problem: Just don't use it anymore! There are lots of other launchers out there, nobody forces you to use this specific one, if it is such a pain for you to use it.
[Android General] CCallahan:
I'd have to disagree with you on this even though I still find that TSF is plenty capable. Would be different if it was a free product. It is like you buying a TV and then 6 months down the road it isn't working properly and someone says "if it is such a pain then quit using it". I believe that when paying it is just assumed that any bugs will be fixed and the product paid for will be usable and full functioning. However, on the flip side TSF as far as I know has always been listed as beta and all beta products will have bugs so should be expected. This is where I feel that TSF should not be charging the full retail price for this until it is out of beta.
[Android General] yaatzek:
Maybe if it will get out of the beta stage it will cost more :D
[Android General] jakeinator21:
But it's not true English yandex. The full English version yandex is still spb which is still $15.

Sure, how about you buy a car and then are told you can't use it anymore? I bought this and would like to be able to use it. It isn't the least expensive launcher, but they actually work.
[Android General] jenizaro:
You and your great ideas should be rewarded with a Nobel Prize. Nobody could think switching to other launchers. You have enlightened us!
[Android General] tool_king:
It's nor a car, it's not a TV, it's not a house. It was just some bucks and it is still in beta mode. So is it really worth to be that annoyed about just a simple launcher?
[Android General] catman51:
Yeah, I switched and with Sidebar, I have no crashes, and it works like this one should.
[Android General] jakeinator21:
Sidebar isn't even comparable to tsf shell, it's a far less extensive program.

For the record I haven't had any crashes, force closes, or any other issues period, other than the weather widget showing a sun at night time. But I don't think that's really a bug, just an oversight.
[Android General] sinjiyo:
I have got a moon in this night for me with the last update...and weather is the same like in google now, alarm work...this widget seems complete for me. :)
[Android General] Jonny176:
Same here clock works great now

Sweet! Hopefully I'll have one tonight too!

Guys still working perfect on my GN II including the clock widget now...I installed it on my wife's S III and I can't apply the purple theme I purchased for her. Her S III is rooted and I did the Tib backup and restore as per directions just like on my phone and it will not let me select the theme....Any ideas?

Sent from GNII by TapII
[Android General] scar45:
Hey sshafranko, you aren't talking about my PCB Purple theme for TSF Shell are you? I only ask because since it's been updated, it should no longer be affected by the Play Store not installing it properly. The 'assets' folder was removed from the new theme template, as that was the cause of Play not allowing themes to show up in TSF.

I just want to ensure that my themes are working properly, because after testing on my lady's (and my own) device, the update installed properly via Play, and TSF saw the theme immediately. If you're talking about another purple theme, then maybe that theme developer hasn't updated it yet? I suppose another thing to check would be that your wife's TSF Shell has been updated, but most likely it has. I know I haven't offered much help, but just trying to understand more.
[Android General] ketani73:
I have only one major issue with TSF shell ever since the update 1.7.9.4 , the TSF Wallpaper-Picker does not work properly ... When i open it to browse & select a wallpaper it freezes & then exits ....I have mailed this weird problem to the Devs & i think they should come out with a solution in their next update ....

Actually they should have solved it long back because i ( and several others) have been suffering with this strange problem since last 3 months or so....

I am using Note 2 presently & had S III before that & i had this problem on both devices...
[Android General] lairdchris:
Yes, seems to be updating now.

But auto localization still doesn't work on my Galaxy S3. And there is a small glitch in the German translation: the word for clock is "Uhr", not "Ur".

Mastroalex@ your device is a really low res. Maybe this probleme with the folder is that. Dev know it now.
[Android General] Jonny176:
Just got official jelly bean update for my phone and now anytime I restart my phone I have to re-pick theme... Fyi.... Its the Meego theme... Is it a jelly bean thing?... Or a TSF problem?
[Android General] ammarsg:
thx any way for replay and wait for ever hhhhhhh:good:

what y mean by Mastroalex@ your device is a really low res. Maybe this probleme with the folder is that
[Android General] sinjiyo:
Hum..since jellybean, you need to set again the launcher after a reboot. But no need to aply again the theme. Try to uninstall the theme then reinstall. Or uninstall the shell and go with a clean instalation.
[Android General] mastroalex:
I thought it could be a resolution problem as well.

Also, is there any reason why we can't choose to have less than 3 desktop pages?
[Android General] Jonny176:
Will try uninstalling the theme already did a clean re-install of TSF.. It made me do it... I'll let you know what happens... Thanks! ThT worked great! Thanks Sinjyo!
[Android General] sshafranko:
Three things::::::::

1) I found a bug caused by TSF....I'm not sure yet when this occurs but so far i noticed it after charging the phone for a while. My notification bar dissapears. The first time it happened i had to reboot. The second time it happened i went into TSF settings and show notification bar was unchecked somehow. Anyone else notice this? Fixed....Toggle notification bar was set as one of the gestures and i was accidentaly applying it. Thanks to sinjiyo

2) There is no sound or heptic feedback when selecting icons, folders, or sidebar on home pages. Is this normal for everyone?

3) Is it too hard to get the home screen to automaticaly change portrait to landscape? Maybe in the new update? Maybe this is not possible because of the side bar for some reason? I and i'm sure many others would love this option.

By the way i started using this launcher one week ago and so far it is the best launcher i have seen and maybe even the best single thing i ever added to my phone. Thanks guys.
[Android General] sinjiyo:
1 check your gesture if hide notif bar is set on one of them

2 autoration will be in a release before the 2.0 will be pushed.

To all, can you tell me if autolocation in the clock widget work on your device.(with the last update)
[Android General] sshafranko:
The auto location works. I just took the new update. Checking gestures now. Thanks
