yes yes. it was. I don't know what's been going on lately but it's been draining battery like a monster. so I went to running services and lo and behold 43MB Holo Launcher :(

EDIT: i restarted my phone an it is currently at 18MB of RAM usage. monitoring it.

25MB now.

Same problem here - after reboot now at 31 MB before it was up to 57MB, I use about 4 Widgets and 10 folders. It is way to much.
[Android Apps and Games] LittleDoggy:
I think its an actual problem with Holo Launcher since lately its been using too much resources for a lightweight launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Deadly:
I'm not using any folders.. may be thats causing it? Try without them once.. i use widgets and shortcuts only..

EDIT: and i use latest version.. when i checked with quick system info pro.. it showed holo launcher using 23 mb.. it always shows accurately.. so i guess GB rom shows only main thread ram usage :)

[Android Apps and Games] aconger:
Dear friends,

On my SE Xperia Ray (Android 2.3.4) Holo Launcher 1.2.4 uses 17-21 Mb in normal mode (more hours after reboot).

I have 4 screens:

Main - SE Analog Clock widget, BirthdayInfo Widget, 6 folders,

1st - Palmary weather widget and Calendar widget (Android Pro Widgets),

2nd - Contacts widget (Android Pro Widgets),

3d - Contacts widget (Android Pro Widgets).

I also use 5 icons DockBar. Icons were made by Themex and assigned by Holo Launcher menu.

(I have screenshots but don't know how to download them).

So, I think that Holo Launcher is one of the most resource-efficient among near competitors (IMHO).

No lag at all for me
[Android Apps and Games] MobiMikes:
I suppose the lag could be down to processor but I'm running a very stressed 600mhz on an old froyo tablet (100 plus apps installed) and there isn't enough lag from holo to irk me. Maybe try fiddling with the scrolling cache settings to see if it helps.

[Android Apps and Games] area511:
Anyone know a good alternative which use less memory? Developer don't care so I need to find another solution...:(
[Android Apps and Games] MobiMikes:
In my experience holo performs more smoothly and consumes less resources than any of the other standard-type launchers. There are a few oddities around that are *lighter* though they tend to have far less (or more bizzare) features also. Before holo was released I'd resigned myself to sticking with the stock launcher as go launcher, launcher pro etc were causing my tablet to lag and at that time (prior to rooting) I couldn't afford the internal storage for them (go launcher in particular)

A quick search for "launcher" in play store will give you plenty to test-drive but I'm pretty sure that, in the end, you'll return to holo.

Btw. As for dev being unresponsive, do note that he has explained in earlier posts that he is pretty busy in rl.

Happy hunting.

I like the option for custom tabs in app drawer but the assignment of applications really sucks. And folders in app drawer would a be a nice feature too. Some people use more than 20 applications.
[Android Apps and Games] Labaznik:
Version 1.2.5 has a bug with the dock bar and the menu. See attached. The "Dock as overlay" option doesn't seem to make any effect on this, it does it either way. Seems like this happens after you enter the app drawer and come back.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
What do you mean by that? It's working correctly. It's now an overlay.
[Android Apps and Games] Labaznik:
Menu behind the buttons doesn't really look very correct. Moreover, the Dock as overlay option has no effect on this, it still happens regardless of the option state. In my case this option is unchecked.

The latest update appears to have broken the desktop grid. Widgets and icons don't seem to share the same margins anymore (and changing the margin settings doesn't seem to help at all) and widgets can now overlap other widgets.

Is there any way to revert to the previous release?
[Android Apps and Games] Deadly:
I wanted to say same here..

But you can solve it easily.. just go to dock settings.. click on dock overlay.. then exit settings completely

Then go to dock settings again.. uncheck dock overlay... it should work now.. this way it was solved for me..

This didn't work. The margins and grid are still completely messed up. I'm going to try doing a full wipe of the launcher and then reinstalling.

(EDIT) Nope. This is a bug. Something got changed that completely broke how widgets and icons interact with the grid and margins. Looks like I'm stuck using the default TouchWiz launcher until this is fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Laur3nt1u:
after you exit from settings the problem looks like solved but if you go to app drawer then back to home the problem is back

The 1.2.6 update has fixed the overlapping menu bug, so no need to discuss it anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] fuberutsu:
the same here. icon rows are squeezed, size of some widgets is changed, everything is messed up. what is more if I want to edit icons which are neighbours to each other actually if I want to edit an icon that is below other it automatically creates folder containing both icons! it's crazy. last actualization is crap.

1.2.6 fixed the dock issue, but it didn't fix the broken grid. Widgets and icons still don't seem to share the same grid. I have to leave an entire row between my widgets and icons just do they don't overlap each other. This happens regardless of which setting I choose for widget overlapping.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
Its not a perfect world. The dev is obviously trying. Its apparent his antisocial behavior has prevented a betatest group so we are it.

The updates seem to come quickly, usually, after when the dev notices he borked something. I'm sure he is addressing these issues and will probably shoot another update soon.

It happens. Hat tip to Mobint..

[Android Apps and Games] IndigoAK:
Eh, I don't want to give the wrong impression. I love the product and paid for it as well, it's just a frustrating bug. It's the only launcher for Gingerbread I've been able to find that I can't find anything to complain about functionality wise, bugs not included.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
Fully understandable. I'm a big UCCW user and this errorbhas me all over the place. :what:

That wasn't directed toward any specific person. I just feel the tension building up and jist wanted to put it out there.

Because of the bashing the dev has gone i to seclusion from the 'Reply' button in this thread and from what I saw back then, I don't blame him. However.... As his paid base is building up (see downloads in market) there needs to be..... or should I say, I would like to see some sort of customer.... relation? Or contact? Maybe a liason. Private forum... Highfive? Hell, even a smiley. :)

I don't think the dev understands how far this app could go for him. To each their own.

Anyways, to my point,no offense intended.

I'm not actually familiar with his history or what's happened to him, but if people really did dogpile I can't really blame him for laying low either. I found the launcher from an article (http://www.addictivetips.com/android/the-best-free-android-launchers-for-home-screen-replacement/) and prior to this update haven't really gone looking for any additional information about it. Hopefully he doesn't get too discouraged to keep improving what's already an amazing product all-around.

I actually want to see different wallpaper per single page instead so instead of just being able to set 1 wallpaper you can set 2 or 3. I'm aware that there is a live wallpaper that does that but I think it would be easier on the battery if it was part of the launcher.

Home button

Outstanding App!

I'm new to launchers, this is the first one I've tried besides the stock/Touchwiz.

A few questions:

1 - Is there a way to jump to the single (center) homescreen.

Note I currently have my home button mapped to take back to Touchwiz. If I remove that mapping it allows choice of Touchwiz or Holo when I press home. I am somewhat reluctant to select Holo as default, which leads to question 2.

2 - If I assign Holo as default launcher for home button, do I have any way to get back to Touchwiz?

I am using rooted Gingerbread 2.3.6 on Samsung Infuse phone.

Thanks in advance for any comments that can be offered.
[Android Apps and Games] IndigoAK:
You can go back to TouchWiz by clearing Holo Launcher's defaults in Android's applications manager.

(EDIT) You can also use Holo to do. Slide Button (if your phone has one) > Launcher Settings > General Settings > Set Default Launcher
[Android Apps and Games] electricpete1:
Outstanding, thanks.

By the way, is there any documentation available for Holo other than this thread?

You don't have to read 191 pages... you can use search button for that.. so try to use that.. for ex. Search with "battery" s string;.. see what comes up.. if you don't get it in 2/3 tries with different string search.. then ask such question.. you will get answer faster that way..

Folders

If I’m not mistaken, the folder option that was present in stock launcher is not present. i.e. we cannot long-press to create a folder. (correct?)

I heard some reference to “built in” widgets...is there ability to create those? I know a few were created automatically upon installation but I didn’t like the grouping and deleted them (I don’t want someone else choosing what goes in what folder.. I want to create my own).

There are a lot of folder applications on the market. I know folder organizer works fine to create a single folder with items inside.

But I am really interested to see if there is an App that I can take advantage of the advanced feature of Holo Launcher like resizing and/or scrolling of widgets.

I’d like to be able to put in a 2x2 widget and see 4 app icons (ideally with ability to scroll down and see more). I tried “Application Folders” and “iPhone Style Folders”... both of them create a 1x1 icon where I could see the contents. But when I resized it on my desktop, it just added empty space around the 1x1 icon (the icon itself doesn’t get any bigger). Other widgets resize fine on Holo so it’s not a Holo problem... just these Apps don’t take advantage of resizing correctly.

** Does anyone have suggestions for folder widgets that coordinate well with Holo to display several Apps in a 2x2, possibly scrollable.

[mobint - After several days using Holo Launcher, I am loving it... Fast, stable, customizable. Thanks for this awesome launcher]
[Android Apps and Games] korekore1:
in the desktop drag an icon on top of another one and it creates a folder.On the app drawer you got the customizable tabs (plus version) .For some nice folder customization check ''simi folder'' from the market.

memory reporting

I have a widget from "Elixir Widgets" which displays free memory.

(*) Before installing Holo: that widget free memory number always matched the free memory shown in settings (at the bottom of the screen in settings/applications/manageApps/RunningApps)

(** ) Now that I have installed Holo, the amount shown in my widget conistently lower than what is shown in the settings. The difference varies in the range of 30-90MB (used to match within 1 MB).

* More info about "Before" - I was using Touchwiz launcher.

** More info about "Now" - I have made Holo my default launcher. I boot into Holo without ever seeing touchwiz.

Possibly related item (of less interest to me) - there is also a difference in whether the launcher is counted among running applications, Holo does not show in my list of running Apps in settings (I don't particularly expect it to show because Touchwiz never showed before). Holo does show in the list of running Apps provided by Elixir Widgets (this is different than what I expect... Elixir never counted Touchwiz as a running application)

Does anyone know an explanation for this unexpected behavior (why the free memory shown on my Elixir widget no longer matches that shown in settings) ?

1.2.6 STILL has the drawer bug ..When you are in vertical continuous mode and you have multiple tabs set up,when you slide the current tab left or right to get to the next tab the only way to do this is by touching the screen from way way left or way way right and slide slowly all the way to the other edge of the screen,maybe 2 times to get the screen moving.Regular sliding does NOT work.It used to work until version 1.2.3 or something like that,its broken since then.I'm with gb 2.3.6

Anyone is having problem with the "ICS type" Search Widget in 1.2.6? (I have a CM7.2 ROM flashed)
