Problems

After using holo launcher (beta3) for almost a week now, I realise that the indication at the home page would often disappear after some time... thought not a big problem I still hope it can be fixed. Thanks!:D
[Android Apps and Games] seahorsepip:
I thought it should autohide?
[Android Apps and Games] razer1:
Please add option to DISABLE open/close Animation of APP DRAWLER.. please!!:o

Thanx for hiding apps :D
[Android Apps and Games] tandevilz:
Using beta3 for a while now..I found a bug..when I drag an app from drawer and drop it over 'app info' it just says 'app isnt installed'..btw it would be really cool if u add the elastic scrolling of desktops to the dock scrolling..
[Android Apps and Games] seahorsepip:
Thats already available on beta3 :/

[Android Apps and Games] johno601:
they can, just tap the bottom of the folder when its open
[Android Apps and Games] jasongohjr:
Not because of the autohide feature. The blue indicator is not even there so even when I scroll the page the blue bar would not appear...
[Android Apps and Games] Eclipse6S:
I'd love to use this launcher in my ROM. Would you be so kind and let me put it in?
[Android Apps and Games] sdotmouse:
First, I like this launcher a lot. Its fast and good on ram/battery/cpu. I've used on 2.3 + 4.0 roms and it does nearly everything I want. Customising icons/shortcuts would be nice, but not really essential - to easy to get "feature creep/bloat" if you aren't careful. More useful for me would be a Home button (or being able to use the dock in the app drawer) so I don't have to use my physical back button to return to the desktop screen. It could go up top near the drawer tabs and look fine. But even without that its a good app that I'm keeping :-)
[Android Apps and Games] TheArc:
Ok I've been using Beta 3 for about a week or so, and I must say you did an excellent Job making this launcher, before this was even made the closest launcher to ice was CC 3D Launcher which had an annoying 3d button. This launcher even beats Sonny Sehkons one too.

Its fast and light.

There are a few things I found when I used this launcher.

When I scroll through the drawer, if you look at the indicator at the bottom it flickers. Maybe its due to gingerbreads HW Acceleration.

Also I've seen allot of people complaining that when you rename the folder and touch enter it crashes. Well I tried it a couple of times and it worked.

Also can you add the overscroll effect on the drawer? And maybe add the market icon on the top right corner like the ics one does.

Thanks for this amazing launcher.

Also Mobint may I use this launcher for one of my roms?

[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:

Can you please add inbuild ICS Style locker please?

[Android Apps and Games] dfine1966:
I am using a CDMA Evo 3d, and the sense style screen previews are very sluggish when pressing home button. I am using stock Gingerbread. I am using a lot of Android Pro Widgets which might be causing a slowdown. Go and 360 Launcher have no problems with this, but ADW EX does do the same thing. Also the blue scroller that let's you know what page you are on seems to permanently disappear unless restart launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] hadi_rena:
Thanks for beta 4 ;) it's smoother and easier to customize icons in desktop GREAT UPDATE.

Some suggestions:

Dark shadow for icon label (white font is difficult to read in light wallpaper)
[Android Apps and Games] geekilized:
Request: Auto close folder after launching an app.

Other than that I really like this launcher a lot.

[Android Apps and Games] Flowah:
Great app!

Just a couple suggestions/notes.

1. It'd be great if we could rename the folders/apps we're putting into folders. And also if we could change the icon of the folder that it's in. Kinda like Nova Launcher.

2. It's getting way smoother after Beta2, Beta4 is way better. Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] si_bolang:
nice update dock fixed&much improve but open/close folder still laggy

hope next update fixed
[Android Apps and Games] Jens Christensen:
Thanks for an excellent launcher! Beta 4 solves every minor quibble I had with previous versions. I'll update the Danish translation in a few minutes.

Are you planning on releasing it on Play with a pro/donate version?
[Android Apps and Games] phadly:
great job man..you did it! nice play store icon in app drawer, and manage apps option..thanks.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Great update :)

The play store icon sticks in my clock widget, can't get rid of it.:mad:

(look at the clock widget)

This doesn't happen with any other widget AFAIK
[Android Apps and Games] jasongohjr:
This launcher doesn't feel like its in its beta really love it! once again thanks!:D

BTW it works with go launcher icon packs as well.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

The problem has been fixed in beta 4
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
Much more smoother than beta 3 and overall its really good...i think two more version and scrolling will be like adw ex for me :) now its still little choppy.

Just download the apk from the first post :D
[Android Apps and Games] Untraceable95:
Good but makes lag on my gb galaxy s2
[Android Apps and Games] korekore1:
Τhis is a very beautiful launcher!I m keeping it as default!

Here are a few thing to consider:

1.faster/smoother open/close app drawer animation

2.auto close folder when application launches

3.faster home screens transitions

4.app drawer folders please!

5.smoother open close folder animation

6.maybe option to choose what apps show up on app drawer/favourites

7.make the landscape view of the app drawer showing 4 normal size horizontal rows of icons by making the tabs panel smaller or by autohiding the notifications panel when in landscape view

8.elastic scrolling in app drawer

overall its a really great launcher and i've used all off them!

fixing the above issues would definitely made me pay for it!

[Android Apps and Games] BlackMaster1991:
a bit heavy weight. it says 28mb in the current application window.

for example the xperia s launcher only stats 13mb and is smooth as well.

but, very nice launcher. i like it very much. but a bit high battery drain
[Android Apps and Games] maango:
Great launcher, one problem though, every time i reboot my phone the power widget is gone and I have to replace it. Anyone else having the same problem?

Using a Motorola milestone with CM 7.1.5
[Android Apps and Games] windowsxelvis:
1./ The colour of icons in app drawer - just like setting the colour to 16bit in windows os.

2./ not smooth

Anyway, it is a good choice for GB users to experience ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] Eclipse6S:
I have a problem with this and the last version.

As you can see here the names of the apps on the bottom in the appdrawer are cut off. It's on a 3.2 inch screen. Hope you can fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] jarjar124:
can the dock have 6-7 icons?
[Android Apps and Games] highbud:
I agree with point 1. the icons just like only have 256 colours. I'm using optimus black.
[Android Apps and Games] marvinloess:
me too, the icons aren't sharp in app drawer
[Android Apps and Games] windowsxelvis:
I am using Galaxy S2.

Transitions are not smooth.
[Android Apps and Games] marvinloess:
request : make the dock icons bigger, 4 icons dock and 5 icons dock to be bigger
[Android Apps and Games] seahorsepip:
Thats called optimization, if it isn't like that it would be laggy so your point 1&2 don't combine that nicely lol
[Android Apps and Games] Mega.Party:
Yes but at the moment I think isn't a great problem, it's more important that launcher feel smooth!

Request:

- add gesture slide up/down on dock icons to do open another app or show something (I use slide up gesture in contact icon on dock to open gesture search)

- add possibility to change icon and action on dock. (I like ICS default icons on dock, but I use the app on icon browser to open configurations)

- please fix bug with Desktop Visualizer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr)?

Is it possible update the version beta 4.0, I've made some changes on language Brazilian Portuguese that was a bit wrong.

[Android Apps and Games] chrisrotolo:
very nice. I have HC tablet. samsung Tab plus 7.0. hide status bar doesnt work.

please bring: custom icons sizes, set drawer background/transparency, an no dock/hide dock option?, option to hide categories in drawer ( favorite, etc.), also option to not scroll to next category in app drawer.

and my wallpaper is cropped wrong, big time. but even stock launcher screws this up.

well done.
[Android Apps and Games] youngsta2010:
Love this launcher! It is a little laggy on app drawer open/close and scrolling home screen. I'd love to see an option to remove the categories in app drawer, dock could be a little shorter looks too big to me and that overscroll glow on the home screen is horrible (personal pref.) an option to disable it would be nice. Really good launcher thank you.

edit: Also would it be possible to change dock icons? Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
That is an alternative , not a solution or bug fix .

Other suggestions, please add or vote in Holo Launcher Uservoice. Thanks.

Great :D As other users have pointed out there are some lags in the app drawer on lower end devices but its great and cant wait for more features to be added.

Note: keeping the launcher in memory seems to fix quite a bit of the lag :)

I'll give it a shot on my Droid Charge.

I'm about to do a wipe 'n clean...so I'll report back after a day of use.
[Android Apps and Games] dfine1966:
Good start. If possible, could you add in the future scrollable widgets and be able to replace icons. For example, I want to use GoSms in the dock, but want to use ICS icon, I would love to change the icon. I am using a CDMA Evo 3d (Sprint). Again, so far seems smooth. Once those changes are added, this could turn into my stock home replacement.
[Android Apps and Games] zyexx:

[Android Apps and Games] slatis:
The drawer is quite laggy while scrolling in my Galaxy Ace, would be great if it can be improved ^^. Uninstalled while that issue is solved.
[Android Apps and Games] rudeguy:
Very similar in responsiveness to the original adw launcher. Not bad but it is just a touch off.

The icons are great. This thing is pretty! I'm going back to Go Launcher until I can get my hands on an ICS device.

Great work OP! Keep at it
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
Works great on my cheap Chinese tablet. Would be nice if there was an option to not scroll between the apps/recent/favourites tabs but it makes sense to have them in app drawer for a tab. Oh and the ability to resize Widgets.

I notice no lag on my tab which runs on a hummingbird processor but its a pretty good tab for cost.

Wont be using this on my phone cause I have ICS and abex launcher well.

Thanks for the work.

Hi i tried quite a lot of launchers available for gingerbread. I Must admit that this ist My favourite one. Smooth and very cuatomizable. I really appreciate your work!

There is only one question, is there already a possibility To enable badges in the dock like in stock TW launcher? (numbers for unread calls/ sms/ mails) If Not do you Plan to integrate that in future releases? Then TW will be frozen 4ever i think. Nevertheless great work!

the best launcher

Hello, I have an Xperia Neo, the only thing missing is the search while long pressing menu button.

In stock when you long press menu button the keyboard appears, then you type and find local apps or just go to a google search.

Right now in Holo, when you long press menu button, holo menu just blinks.

Can you add an action? Or even better the search function which is handy.

Great work btw, and thank you for your effort.
[Android Apps and Games] ratwork:

It has improved a lot since beta 3 and to my surprise there's now Beta4. Keep it up mate nice job.
[Android Apps and Games] KaaMyA:
Thanks friend!

This update looks great!!

Seems to be that you fixed the problem with Wallpaper selection, it looks centered now ;)

However, talking about that, I'm not sure if there's still a little bug related to image selection before saving it as wallpaper.

First of all, I've to say I'm using Android 2.2.2

Som this is how I reproduce this error:

1. Go to Menu > Wallpaper

2. Select an image

3. Select desired area (use selector, which is the tiny square centered over the image) to be set as wallpaper.

4. Despite of its position, expand selector (tap on margins to move from their arrows) to make it bigger.

5. Save changes, Wallpaper is set.

What's expected:

· Selected (expanded) area should be set as Wallpaper.

What I see:

· Tiny size (with selector's default size) is set as Wallpaper.

Additional Notes:

· To explain this example a little better, let's suppose that:

· · Screen is 320x240.

· · Selector is something like 80x60.

· · · No matter how big you expand selector to choose desired area as Wallpaper, the area which is selected is always 80x60 (like if selector were still centered into your desired expanded area, overriding its size).

· What I'm not sure is if this is a HoLo Launcher bug, or an Android 2.2.2 bug.

· I'll try to put images later ;)

Thanks!

Its almost perfect!!!! I have a Galaxy S2 HD LTE e120S and who knows when ICS will come to it.

This is the launcher I've been looking for. Just like Apex Launcher. Scrolling and Icons in app drawer need more work. My icons looked warped.Scrolling is laggy. But the Launcher as a whole is solid. I'd pay for this app once its out of the beta stage.

Hey Mobint,

The 'ALL' Tab in the App Drawer should be renamed to 'APPS' as in the stock Android 4.0 Ics launcher it is 'APPS' and not 'ALL'.

Also the stock ics launcher has 'Widgets' Tab in the App Drawer which if included in the next beta release would be nice.

So the above two things if added in the beta 5 would make the Holo launcher the Best Ics launcher Ever.

In Phoenix ics launcher the Widgets could directly be applied to the homescreen through the Widgets tab in the app drawer(But it needed root to put the launcher apk file in /system/app and set the permissions to rw-- r- r- to apply the Widgets through the app drawer,if you could please try to get the same thing to happen in Holo launcher it would be great as nowadays everyone has rooted their phones)

thanks.
