Yep, sometimes when I run some app with heavy ram usage tsf is being killed, maybe it would be better to add an option to prevent tsf from being killed by system. Because I don't think we can go much lower on ram with features we have in it.

That's a minor but very important enhancement. I miss those buttons 7 out of 10 times, more or less.

Btw, I got a screenshot of the missing numbers in TSF Shell Clock. It's attached. It's missing a number one.

Version 1.9.9.5.3 Beta (Jun.19,2013)

New ands Fixed:

1.Scrolling gesture support ( Fixed problem that easily causes error operation in icon menu ).

2.Fixed most program crash problem.

3.Reduce memory usage.

4.Fixed icon picker issue.
[Android General] jjdavola:
Is anyone else experiencing this widget issue? I have a calendar widget (APW) on one screen and a Facebook widget (Friendcaster Pro) on another screen. Some times (not always) when I click on an item on my calendar, a Facebook entry opens up. Then even if I move around on other screens and go back to the calendar and click somewhere, a Facebook entry will open. Even if I press on the calendar widget to resize or move it, the calendar widget tilts and the outline of the FB widget shows up and a message pops up saying no more room on the homescreen. Then the only thing that fixes it is a reboot of TSF.

Any thoughts?

[Android General] mastroalex:
I wonder why since 1.7.x.x folder icons are scrambled (I can't use any thirdy part theme at any density), and now even other screens. It seems that the algorithms for miniatures (folders, 360° and animations) are bugged.

I would use 1.7.x.x but I like the new dock a lot.
[Android General] sshafranko:
Only problem for me so far is Tsf freezes when I scroll through my bookmarks widget sometimes then I have to hit my home button and go to main screen to unfreeze it. But that's it so far.

Take that back. Updated to .4 and no more crashing. Thanks devs are awesome.

TSF Shell on Galaxy S4 Stock very laggy sometimes

Hello,

I`m new on TSF Shell Pro for some days. (Version 1.9.9.5.4)

The launcher sometimes is very laggy if i switch from window to window. i have only widgets like "Widgets HD" + "Android Pro Widgets" installed.

The lags are not the hole times but often. (and there are no other programs running in this time when laggy) if i switch with fingers the windows it tages sometime just a second till tsf do it.

Also the scrolling in the "Android Pro Widgets" is very slow an laggy...

It should not have so big lags because the big price in market for tsf ... :(

Dev must do anything to fix...

sorry for my bad english...
[Android General] ketani73:
I must say one thing over here , though TSF is one of the most exciting & revolutionary of the all launchers .....It needs more stability in terms of working smoothly on the entire Android spectrum !!!

If that doesn't happen then many will avoid it & neither will it justify the price which everyone here has paid for it with great hopes....!!!

I really wish TSF Devs make it more stable first & then think of adding more features....
[Android General] grunted:
On my galaxy s 3 tsf shell runs perfectly. It lags a little on my tf101 but it is an older device. So I. Cant complain about it at all because it is the best and most customizable launcher I have ever used. A launcher that does so much cant run perfectly on older devices
[Android General] mani0608:
You read my mind there. Though TSF looks good and works smooth most of the time.. It still has some weird issues which needs to be fixed.

Like i had one issue where a music player widget is being placed in-between two pages and i really had a very hard time in removing it... :) lol

Needless to say, the widgets moving issue... Still not fixed..
[Android General] Jonny176:
Really happy with the launcher... Really no complaints now... :) landscape looks great and transistion smoothly... No longer accidently deleting shortcuts.... Yay!

It's cool, knew it worked that's why I mentioned it does work but just thought for someone new to the launcher might not know. But as mentioned by the themer, hiding it does clean it up a bit.

I just picked up a Note 10.1 tablet and noticed that some features seem to be disabled or missing vs when running on a phone? The gestures menu is missing, also when I tap gestures from the preferences popup nothing happens. Also I noticed that the app drawer does not infinite scroll. Anyone else seeing this?
[Android General] Surpass:
Well for the gestures I don't know, I don't own a tablet, but it's certainly possible that feature just isn't supported for tablets.

As for the infinite scroll, that feature is automatically turned off when you only have two pages (or less) worth of apps. Given that you just bought the tablet and that it's a tablet, it stands to reason you have used up less than two pages worth of apps, right? That's the reason why if so.

TSF Shell is loading

I know ive seen this popup a few times in thread but dont recall seeing an answer.

Was running Omega 4.2.2 ROM with TSF. Overall not too bad but did get the dreaded loading message now and then bogging the phone down.

Now trying out a new ROM Avatar 4.2.2 (CM/MIUI) and TSF is loading virtually after exiting every app making it very unusable.

Ive tried uninstalling, reinstalling. clearing the cache and starting from scratch. i.e. not importing previous settings etc but its still there.

Its not the ROM as Apex, Nova etc all run great on the ROM.

Any ideas how i can get TSF to stop constantly loading after returning to the home screen. Its very hit and miss, sometimes it does it, sometimes it does (better after starting TSF again from scratch but still no good).

Running latest TSF 1.9.9.5.4 Beta

Any ideas besides changing launchers lol as i do really like TSF and dont want to revert to a mainstream launcher
[Android General] sandor.irlanda:
Try ROMs that use less memory!

TSF needs a lot and gets thrown out of memory when other apps get focus.
[Android General] rexboy:
It drove me crazy so only solution I found was to flash back to 4.1.2 vs 4.2.2 of the same ROM and its made a big difference.

Only reloads minimum occasions now so guess I'll wait for an official 4.2.2 vs the leaks that's only available now.

Sent from my GS3
[Android General] Surpass:
This is because of lack of RAM. When your device runs out of RAM, it kills the launcher (it does this to other launchers, too, it's just most other launchers aren't as RAM-hungry due to them being less graphically intensive) and the next time you return home it has to reload. Evidently the ROM you had originally either used less RAM or had more RAM available for you to use than the one you're now using.

This is another reason why it reloads a lot, newer versions of Android use more RAM than the older ones.

The only flawless remedy unfortunately is to buy a new phone with more RAM. I assume you have the US variant of the GS3 which has 1GB of RAM, which although it quite a lot still creates problems for TSF from time to time. Devices with 2GB of RAM don't have this problem.

A good alternative and less expensive fix, though, is to figure out what's using all your RAM and stop using that. Or if it's a system app or it keeps opening since you're rooted you could check out Greenify, which prevents applications from automatically opening and thus using up more RAM.

Hope I hoped. :)
[Android General] yaatzek:
Or you can try to use supercharger script which has an option to prevent launcher being killed (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276). Also for my gnex there is a kernel which has something called "whitelist", which also prevents launcher from being killed, maybe there is something simillar for your device (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2115590).

[Android General] rexboy:
It's a shame as all subscribing to this thread enjoy the launcher, including me. The reality is they can focus on the website all they want, many just aren't prepared to spend that much on a launcher when reasonable ones exist for free. Even at half the price it would sell more in volume.

[Android General] dawabz94:
I'm quite happy with the current status. I'd only like :

- smoother rotation animation (TSF is all about smoothness after all ;))

- FiX default launcher that I have to choose again after each reboot (galaxy note 2). Using the TSF patch is an issue because when I click "end all" in the task manager, TSF gots killed also since seen as a normal app

- Some widget redraw when swiping home screens or after screen rotation

The current status makes me 90% happy though and TSF is now my only launcher, thank you ..

[Android General] hobbes105:
Couldn't have said it better myself. This launcher is just too expensive. I couldn't care less about their website, but I would like to see more development of the launcher. Some things like reducing the memory used, option to lock the launcher in memory, make the icons snap to a grid to align them would be nice. I don't really care about the widgets - there are a ton of others in the market.
[Android General] yaatzek:
I'm not sure if pr is right at this moment. Although most of the bugs are solved, there are some things to fix. I think it would be better to fix everything first and then start the campaign. When you start the campaign now more people will come here disappointed and complaining. You don't advertise a car which doesn't drive straight, if you know what I mean.
[Android General] hobbes105:
If you want to increase your downloads, I would suggest 2 things. Offer a free version. You really need to use it a little to see why it's different than most other launchers. Also, reduce the paid version price by at least half of what it is now. Maybe offer something extra to anyone that paid $16 for it. I did purchase this, but I never would have paid $16 for it myself. I had a Play Store gift card that I used.
[Android General] grunted:
I think on of the best way to get sales is to be high on the list on the google play store I know a lot if companys use app gratis to get higher on the list it offers paid apps for free for one day next launcher used this about two weeks ago

Offer a 14 day free trial period. Thats enough time for someone to figure out the launcher and get hooked on it. But it has to be running flawlessly.

1.more themes = more candy

2.free trial version
[Android General] jenizaro:
Why are we trying to rescue TSF team from recession :D

1-Trial should be there in the play store

2-Price should reduce

3-They should connect with gsm operators for mass selling of launcher for operator brand phones (Yandex do this in my country with Turkcell)
[Android General] Surpass:
3 - totally! If I owned a phone manufacturing company I'd definitely include TSF software in some way in my devices, haha. :p

It probably would be a good idea to go the OEM route, as I'm sure it'd make a fortune. Yandex/SPB did this on loads of lesser-known phones that were mostly in the low-to-mid range spec-wise. A couple of Huawei phones shipped with SPB.

And Rightware partnered with Konka and ZTE (both Chinese phone manufacturers) to ship with their home replacement software, and both those companies still use that software on all their major flagships.

And for the trial, it would be a good idea but it definitely shouldn't be 14 days or anything like that, it should be ~24 hours or so like with Next Launcher 3D.
