Home button bug

Hello,

First of all, I love this launcher, thanks for the good job.

But since the latest update, I get a strange behavior when hitting the home screen. I put the settings to go to the default screen first, then to show the screens preview if I hit it from the default screen.

But now when I hit the home button, I first simply see an empty screen that then progressively (but quickly) fills up with my default screen icons and widget.

It is as if the whole launcher restarted, but really quickly.

I tried changing both settings related to the home button but it is the same whether I'm on the default home screen or not.

Is anyone else seeing that behavior or is it just me?

I didn't update anything else so I'm almost certain it is related to the latest update...

Thanks for any help...

Try restarting the launcher, there is in the settings menu. Happend to me few times, if we think about the same thing.
[Android Apps and Games] pauldiddy:
great launcher.

may I suggest some new options?

1) enable/disable the app drawer icon to be centered in the dock

2) enable/disable tiles (background tiles of the app icons) in the app drawer

No, LP manages wallpapers properly. All the launchers I have tried do the trick, only Holo had this zoom issue. I think it is fixed with the last update. Wasn't a big problem anyway.

Same here. I also have only 3 homepages and Holo lags with or without scrolling wallpaper. Not every time, but often. The lag is very noticeable immediately after waking the phone up.
[Android Apps and Games] Div033:
Mobint,

Please consider removing dithering (32-bit color mode) from Holo Launcher so that those of us on older devices can enjoy this homescreen replacement. As several others have mentioned, scrolling is laggy on Gingerbread.

Thanks for your time.

Rooted Kindle Fire, have been on Holo Launcher for about a month - loving it. Great launcher!

But... just installed latest update (and GO Launcher update, GL was installed but not in use)... and immediately got prompted for what launcher to use, chose Holo but did not chose default, immediate FC, sent into Stock Kindle launcher....

Hit home, now (moment of immense stupidity) chose Holo and set it as default... endless FC loop, despite restarts and cache wipes and KFU pushes of Go Launcher to try and trigger the prompt again. No luck.

Flying 9 hrs with two kids tomorrow morning... it's 1:30 am here now... life looked bleak.

Then, I stumbled upon Ov3rbyte's advice - seemed crazy but saved my life:

"If anyone else ever gets this problem theres an easier fix that doesn't involve installing anything. You touch the top pulldown screen when you take out the USB or put it in to your PC to mount it, and with trial and error you'll manage to get the settings screen. Go to applications, and uninstall the app giving you the problem."

Uninstalled Holo, got prompted, chose Go Launcher, all is now well. Phew!

Not sure if latest Holo is deadly to Kindle Fire, and almost just tried re-installing to confirm, but at last minute remembered what I have to lose. Wanted to raise a red flag in here in case it is a real problem. Will experiment some more when I arrive at destination.
[Android Apps and Games] shinodoigt:
Yep, it's super laggy in the app drawer on my HTC Desire.. No matter cache quality.
[Android Apps and Games] aaiko:
Would be awesome if theres an option to hide the tabs and make it fullscreen like other launcher, for mdpi devices you lose a lot of usable space on the screen.

I tried that but it didn't solve the issue...

I might try to delete the app data but I'll do that when I have the time to re-configure my home screens...

extreme lag

ok a few moments ago i had an extreme lag with the launcher :( What i found is that the memory was heavily used by different apps and there was only 51 MB RAM free. After killing a lot of apps with a task killer - it works in the known manner... Seems to be a problem of the memory management or the priority of the holo-launcher - just a thought of a noob ;)

So maybe it helps to find the error which is responsible for the lagging behaviour.

Cheers

Can u make a tablet specific launcher? The one you've made is mainly phone specific ...and doesn't look as good as it should on my ics tablet...:-)
[Android Apps and Games] Scur827:
Here's another vote to either get back the ICS style search bar, or give us the option of which to use. The JB doesn't do it at all for me.

edit:

The Custom ICS Search Bar will throw ads into your notification. I'm using Tiwiz ICS Search Bar instead.
[Android Apps and Games] AvijitGhosh82:
I think we should get both ..:-)

Great launcher. Thank you. Is it possible/any future plans to put folders in the App Drawer?

Thank you for your efforts!

Take care,

[Android Apps and Games] danilocps87:
It already has folders... Just put a icon above another and then will be created a folder automatically. To put a name on the folder, open it a click at the bottom edge.
[Android Apps and Games] hadi_rena:
No custom sort at the moment :crying:

I think he mean in App Drawer instead of Desktop/Home. It still not possible to create folder in app drawer. If you long hold icon from app drawer then it will create shortcut in desktop instead of re-arranging it.

This feature also my request from a long time ago
[Android Apps and Games] danilocps87:
Is there some launcher that can create folder in app drawer? I don't know any... Only in home or dock, like Holo. Just some launchers, like adw, that can separate apps in categories, in app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] greedisgood:
i'd like to try it.
[Android Apps and Games] sdotmouse:
A few launchers have folders in app drawer - Nemus, QQ, 360, DX home, probably more.

Sent from my MT15i
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
GoLauncher. When you create a folder in the add drawer the icon acts as if it were an app and allows you to move it freely on different home screens. If you drop another app into the folder in the app drawer it will update all the duplicate folders on home screens. If you drop app into folder on app drawer it eliminates the clutter fpr those of us who over organize much like myself.

Take care,

Also stumbled on this when I accidentally deleted all my Screens when Im at Edit Screen Interface. I cant make Settings appear so heres what I did.

What I did was simple, just use ADB to delete "com.mobint.hololauncher-1.apk" inside /data/app

Then just do a reboot either by phone or adb command. Initial Boot will take some time.

Warning: This will work properly if your ROM still has its default Launcher app intact (if your using CM7.2 it was ADW), if you dont have you can just install Launcher.apk via ADB so no problem :angel:

Kindle Fire - Force Close

Tried reinstalling Holo Launcher on my rooted Kindle Fire this morning, and am still getting an immediate Force Close.

Not sure if this is the right place to report this, or what I can do to help (hopefully) drive a solution to the problem.

Very basic Kindle Fire, rooted to allow custom launchers and Play Store, but otherwise standard ROM.

How to get "Push Notifications" for Messages, Email, Facebook?

To the Developers of Holo Launcher: I need your Help.

Will Holo Launcher ever get "Push Alert" counters for unread emails, text messages, and missed phone calls?

My phone is the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Epic 4G.

"Push" alerts does not display any number of unread or missed emails, text messages, and phone calls for my apps (Gmail, MS Outlook Email, SMS messages, Facebook messages, phone).

What should I do?

Thank you :)

Is there a way it could import the current setup of the stock launcher (I've got 4.0.4 already on my Galaxy Nexus)? It's a pain to have to recreate my setup.

I remember about a app that can do this. Import widgets and icons from a launcher to another. But, I don't remember the name... Try search about in Google play.

I have this installed but still not using it. Until this gets arranging of apps inside the drawer, i'll stick to Go for the moment.

I wonder how high up the priority list this feature is... :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
I'm going to use it over Go considering the difference in memory usage. Holo is much lighter. I also would like appdrawer arranging along with folders. I just setup another page sort of use that as my drawer. If I could set a Gesturs to goto a certain page I guess I could do wothout the arranging ability in the drawer... (just rambling)
[Android Apps and Games] djuliusl:
Great launcher!

Is it possible to sort apps in drawer by installation date instead of alphabetically?

U already voted for that Feature (opening post) i would also love to have that Feature... Its One of the "hottest ideas" but i sadly think that its in a way Not recognized as the dev never answeared or commented on it...

Liking this launcher, but having an issue on my Motorola Droid 4 (stock ROM, rooted). In landscape mode, if I change the "Grid size" to 5x5, it cuts off the bottom half of the icon names...and with 6x6, it doesn't show the icon text at all. Seems that 4x4 is the only mode that displays the icon text properly (in landscape view). Not sure if this is specific to my phone or not...

Otherwise, this launcher is great! :)

[Android Apps and Games] ClubWDW:
Unfortunately, as much as I have enjoyed this launcher in the past , I am afraid it is time to part ways. It has become laggy and often unresponsive...It even manages to lock up my phone after a few hours of use. I have a dual core 1.0 GB processor and am running very few widgets and/or screens.

Furthermore, most of the features found in the new "Plus" version are already standard in other launchers that are free and can be skinned to look and act like ICS without the performance slowdowns.

$3.99 just to get multiple configurable drawer tabs, unread count notifications for call, sms and gmail, additional desktop gestures, transition effects, widgets overlapping and 1x1 widgets in the dock? Really?

These aren't "Plus" level features...most of these are standard in the majority of launchers...launchers that are free and consistently benchmark better than Holo Launcher. These are things that users have been asking for as simple performance enhancements for quite some time. Instead of fixing them, they've been re-branded as "special features". It's the equivalent of buying a nice sports car only to be told that the key to start it is a "special feature" and will require an additional purchase.

It would appear that instead of taking an opportunity to iron out the bugs and make it more functional first, the author has chosen instead to go commercial with a product that clearly isn't ready to be paid for.

I wish Mobint all the best and I hope his commercial venture proves successful. I mean that sincerely. I always like to see someone make good and get paid for their hard work. However, the product is marginally good at best and certainly not ready enough for my continued use or for access to my wallet.

Cheers.

Hi all,

First off I'd like to say that people should be more respectful and easier satisfied. I mean, los of folks are comp complaining about this great app and whining about other launchers being better and having more features and being free etcetera. But you gotta think before you say something, Mobint is not like the other launcher developers out there, that are making apps in a team as their job! Mobint is like you and me, just a normal man who likes to free some of his valuable time to make a nice app, besides his regular job or maybe even besides his school, I don't know. At least that's what I think...I don't know much about him but I do know he is a great man who develops great apps, listens to his consumers and deserves to make some profit out of his great work on his apps. So stop whining about themes and other launchers being better and so on and just stay positive!

And secondly, I just got the new update, bought the licence key and installed the notifier and I really love my new holo launc... I mean experience :-) I think it's almost perfect!!! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] hadi_rena:
:good: a long awaited update is coming THANK YOU for this update. I really want 'Multiple configurable drawer tabs' feature from plus version. I'll consider to buy the license key some time later ( I'm on tight budget right now :crying: )

@mobint: any chance that you give promo price for Plus version :confused: I'll really appreciate if there is a promo price :victory:. The PLUS version have same feature with other ICS launcher YET this version is running on GB so you're rock and awesome. Many thanks for you.
[Android Apps and Games] condor97:
I think it is very interesting the approach taken in this launcher. There are alot of features that people want, and don't want at the same time. Look at the fights that break out over the home button in the app drawer in some of the other threads. So what is done with holo? Give people the option to pick which way people want it, not only for the home button but for alot of other features. I think that this alone sets it apart from other launchers because it puts the choice in peoples hands. Widgets in the dock is cool. I have not seen that before. And lets not forget the tabbed drawer. Using tabs to organize apps is a nice touch. The only drawback for me right now is the slight stutter in screen transition, usually when I first wake up the phone. (moto atrix).

Mobint, it is obvious to me that you do enjoy developing, are good at it, and are very prolific at it. I can tell that you put alot of thought into your work. Keep up the good work, and Thank You!

I do like the update. And I am happy to give a couple bucks to help in the development of this app. It was money well earned.

Just tried the new version on 1GHz CPU phone. Transition and home drawer lag is still there even with wallpaper scroll disabled, 2 simple widgets (clock and calendar) on home screens only and default transition effect. Shall give the developer $4 when this issue gets fixed. Main launcher feature is smooth operation and is currently not good enough for me. Definitely good launcher but needs refinement before it goes commercial.
