Yep that's my biggest gripe, the constant restarting. Even after using all various RAM saving techniques and selecting the option to force the launcher to remain active my only work around is rebooting the phone. This temporarily resolves the problem.

Hoping with my new Sony Z2 that I get in a few days with 3gb of RAM vs 1gb of my GS3 will make a difference.

On my tablet it never restarts.

guys have you tried this

it helped me before, give it a go <> can't hurt :cowboy:
[Android General] Bashar Jarad:
The developers of this great launcher always take a long time to make updates :p

But with all of this it is still the best launcher i have ever seen

I hope if the devs make an option to chose between the old selector (before V2.0) and the new one :D

And i also have the problem of long long time restarting tsf :/
[Android General] rexboy:
Thanks mate you're still legend.I've tried most tricks and scripts but nothing really worked until now.

I've used this for the whole day now without a single restart so thanks again.

This is realy nice looking update. What's the theme in the video?
[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
Thanks for the videos, it's great to see the development process.

One question, can we change individual icons now in the app drawer? Let's say an icon isn't themed but there's another icon that looks similar so we change it. Is this possible now?
[Android General] raja.pandu54:
Please tell Me....

When is the New Update Bro...New Update taking Tooooooooooo musch of time...Please tell me when is the Update?:confused::confused::confused:

You mean the animation while closing/opening that panel?
[Android General] sinjiyo:
no, the quick setting here and some tsf setting disappear.
[Android General] sinjiyo:
the pop up menu is better now..I will show you a movie later.
[MENTION=5087599]Mercado_Negro[/MENTION] We could change individual icons in the app drawer. Change from desktop same effect in drawer, change from drawer same effect in desktop. Good?
[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
That's great news, sinjiyo. It sounds really good, that's how it's supposed to be. Thanks for asking, sinjiyo. Looking forward to it.
[Android General] sinjiyo:
better...,no?
[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
Yes.

Btw, just out of curiosity, why hasn't TSF Shell team started a beta group in G+? It would benefit them tremendously, I'm sure.
[Android General] Venomelite:
Quick question for everyone, is it possible to enlarge the expandable dock ? Its extremely small, I am using TSF in landscape on a nexus 7 in the car.. way too small.. sorry if this seems like a dumb question, I saw the density increase option but it does not increase the icon size/dock size at all.
[Android General] ammarsg:
As I think you can't but you can decrease number of apps or folder in dock to increase its size .but its nice idea for tsf
[Android General] sinjiyo:
long press the right dock's button then expend.

---------- Post added at 03:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 AM ----------

I just watched the demo video again. I saw the folders are now circles, instead of the boxes? I didn't see anything I would want this update for except the quicker load time (which is important). :(
[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
It's getting closer to KitKat and I like it. Looking forward to it.

Crap, might be time to avoid updates or switch launchers. Looks like some of the unique features are being left out, bummed!

[Android General] ammarsg:
they changed the launcher from the zero point ...new tsf will come as we see ...most things changed ..but all old themes will work in new v3.0 or what exactly ?????
[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
It looks good, sinjiyo. Everything you've showed us and the demo video looks fine to me. I still see the TSF spirit there but they've made it closer to KitKat with round folders, a fixed dock and a dedicated app drawer with its own effects, etc. I see progression there, evolution. Kudos to TSF Team.
[Android General] yaatzek:
They wrote that old themes won't work and that they contacted all theme developers to tell them what needs to be changed... But I guess I'm not a theme developer for them :(

I think I'm not the only one and there will be lots of themes not working. Again the tsf team picks the "weird" way of communication. Why they want to contact every theme developer personally? It would be easier to post info about what's need to be changed somewhere in Internet.
[Android General] ammarsg:
don't worry my friend you are one of them surly but there are sooo many developer and they surly forget some of them :good: we like your job and nice thing from holo widget also
[Android General] sinjiyo:
Like you can see a lot of png which composed a theme are now change. old theme will be useless. and icon pack for tsf will not work.Themer will need to update with some new xml exactly as nova. Other icon pack from other launcher will continue to work. When the new theme will be ready. you will be notified.
[Android General] mb523:
I'm more upset about if the slide out dock on the side is eliminated. I use that constantly.
[Android General] 143greg:
No more Slide out Dock?

Pls. Dont remove the Slide Out Dock

Feature in next version (version 3) its very usefull... Alot of us are using that feature...
[Android General] mb523:
Most importantly, not to remove the slide out dock. Second, the themes we have all downloaded - hopefully will still work. The circles for folders not nearly as interesting as the folders that look like boxes. I really don't want to switch launchers. :(
[Android General] yaatzek:
They won't, it was clearly stated by them and confirmed by [MENTION=2352859]sinjiyo[/MENTION].
[Android General] mb523:
That doesn't seem fair because we've paid for a lot of them. It feels like this whole launcher is being changed for a new one, so disappointing.
[Android General] tool_king:
If you paid for a theme, you have to demand from the developer of the theme, that the theme has to be updated. It's not the problem of TSF, if your theme deveolper isn't able or willing to update the theme you have paid for.
[Android General] yaatzek:
Unfortunately that's the truth, these are not official tsf themes, so it's all up to developers.
[Android General] Jonny176:
Just like a few updates back when the themes weren't displaying properly... It was up to the developer of the theme to update to the new version and make it work again

[Android General] MRFERRARI23:
I'm not saying in any way that updating an app is easy but over 4 months without anything is little rough. Hopefully soon it'll get released. Especially when you pay a lot for an app and support the developers we hope to see it updated and supported more regularly.

If you buy a product you always get some kind of warranty. Plus you can see how frequently - even the free - apps get updates.

As a programmer I know how hard it is to deliver stable release frequently. The point here is the regularity of the releases, and the trust.

Dear User,

Thank you very much for your interest. We are working on v3.0 currently.

TSF Shell v3.0 is a great different from the previous versions and it is provided with more than 10 new functions and there is improvement and optimisation in more than 20 places. The interface is tidier and the functions are more practical.

We need plenty of time for the debugging and the modification. We announced the release at the end of April and it is delayed.We are very sorry for that. We will try releasing the v3.0 soon and we hope to have your understanding.

To know more about TSF Shell please follow our Facebook http://www.facebook.com/tsfapp or visit our Release History http://www.tsfui.com/#release.

Any problem/query please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,

Technical Support

[Android General] Jonny176:
I think the developers don't realize that every day that goes by without any sort of information they lose more and more people to other launchers... 6 months without an update is no big deal but without any information it's just plain annoying... I love this launcher and wouldn't really care but the teaser of a video makes me want the update sooner rather than later... Just my opinion :D

[Android General] smeddy:
I've said this a dozen times (on this thread) but I'll say it again. It's the perception of missed deadlines that does them no favours. If they want to give ETAs, they should cautiously factor in an extra month - and then surprise us with it early.

Still my favourite launcher by a mile tho, with big respect to Apex and Nova.

I switched launchers 3 weeks ago, using the new version of Go Launcher at the moment and it's working really well. The 2 reasons I switched were 1. the constant reloading was driving me crazy! and 2. I got the feeling with the update (if it ever occurs), some of the features I really liked about TSF would be removed. :(
[Android General] rexboy:
Many pages ago there was a post regarding a script that stops the constant reloading (tested on my sg3 that constantly reloaded but this helped for 3 days straight.

[Android General] mani0608:
I am suddenly getting the feeling that the project stays on 90% for a long time.

I am usually ok with the delay as the development of such a great launcher is not that easy. But after 90% so much delay is totally unbearable.
[Android General] tool_king:
Mimimimimi. :silly: Which delay? There has never been any ETA for v3.0. So calm down a little!
[Android General] mani0608:
OwOwOw... Here comes the :confused:

I haven't said that there is an ETA and it was delayed. I just mentioned that the update on the TSF website stays at 90% for a long time and i can't wait for it to reach 100%.
[Android General] tool_king:
No more words.
[Android General] mani0608:
I am still confused who develops this launcher :confused: [MENTION=5151580]tool_king[/MENTION] i know i said unbearable because i can't bear this wait at 90%. Most of the people thinks that when it reaches 90% the release is not far away. I thought the same way and after waiting for so long i said that it look a long time after 90%.

You should not misunderstand a phrase and start complaining. I meant it in a good manner not to hurt anyone out here.

i know the effort of the DEV very well and money can never match the effort put on by them.
[Android General] tool_king:
Alright, mate! :good:
[Android General] slojam:
Wassup folks, I'm a long time TSF Shell user. I've tried every premium launcher available, due to the occasional annoying bugs experienced using TSF, but it's still my favorite.

Next was the latest, & talk about buyers remorse lol. I ran back to TSF Shell! Using Next launcher, my S4 would freeze constantly, & quite often, my phone would suffer from random reboots thru out the day. I also found Next to be a battery whore, & it felt cheap, just like Go Launcher.

I've had a very good experience using TSF Shell, while running a Google Play Edition ROM on my S4, it's been virtually bug less. I just think it runs better with a good AOSP based ROM. I decided to make the change, when I noticed TSF ran much smoother on my Nexus 7, than it did on my S4. Just my 2 cents.
[Android General] CCallahan:
I quit using TSF on my S4 because it was just not a smooth experience. Was using Nova instead. However, been using TSF on the S5 and it runs like a champ. So currently am running TSF on the S5 and Nova Prime on the Note 8. This way I always get to mess with both launchers. I like the feel of TSF on the smaller phone screen a bit better than running it on the tablet. Just my preference. Wish TSF shell supported icon overlays like Nova and some other launchers. There are many icon packs I can't use on TSF.
[Android General] slojam:
Nova Prime is my second favorite launcher. And I hear you on your S4 experience. I use Unicon, to achieve the look of full icon masking, & have had pretty good results. It would be nice if it supported it right out of the box, though.
[Android General] Jonny176:
Has anyone heard anything about the launcher?... It's been awhile since the first update video... And now nothing... I keep checking the developer Web site but see nothing different...

[Android General] drakulinho:
I'm done whit this launcher...i paid it not so cheap and now they don't give any news what is happening???
[Android General] clothednblack:
The money spent on this app was for the release at the time, not for further updates. I understand where you are coming from but if everything you paid for works, then you got what you bought. I too have moved on but I'm not holding the devs accountable for me leaving, it's a personal choice. I saw a couple options that I used daily were missing from the video of the progress of the work being done. There are several apps I have bought before and are now either dead or not compatible with the device I upgraded to. That's how it goes sometimes, but none of it is the fault of the developers, just like the complaints in here now, all because a Update has been announced but no new info has been shared. You can move on and check back or stick with what you have paid for. The choice is yours.

Stickied with my post-it-note 3
[Android General] Mercado_Negro:
We all expect updates but we're not entitled to them. We purchase applications as they are at that moment (as-is) and developers have to provide support as long as we keep using the same setup we tested the application on (and this is only true if it's contemplated in the User License Agreement). Android apps are more flexible on this regard and developers are much more friendly than other areas of development but this shouldn't fool us into thinking that we have to demand progress.

Like I said, we all like updates and I'm really looking forward to more great features and improvements from TSF Shell Team. I hate when developers stop supporting their applications properly as much as you do but things must be called by their name.
[Android General] mani0608:
I know. But the difference is you are talking LOGICALLY but i am talking PRACTICALLY. When a developer expects users to PURCHASE his app (this is not for FREE version) then he must live up to the expectations and demand. May be your quote could be acceptable during GB period of android, but now its the time the entire OS changes EVERY YEAR. Also, if we pay for only the current version of app then the price of TSF is soooooooooooo costly. Moreover the developer should mention that we are paying only for the current version of the app and not for future updates in their app description, atleast now-a-days (Because the users mindset today is the app should get regular updates). Did you see that anywhere in the playstore? I am sure no body will do that.
[Android General] yaatzek:
The truth is that we wouldn't be that upset if we weren't spoiled with upcoming teasers and false release dates. [MENTION=5087599]Mercado_Negro[/MENTION] unfortunately has right ;) we pay for the app as it is and it's up to the dev if he updates it or not. It's just the devs here are doing this "marketing" totally wrong, first they show us some amazing stuff and they say it will be released soon and then we have to wait like half a year, that's the main reason for the hate here.
