[Android Apps and Games] winesh:
You can start by answering my very ontopic question :p Which transition effects are added in the pro version...
[Android Apps and Games] ClubWDW:
Allow me to provide the COMPLETE quote for you:

"This will be my last post FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE on this thread...it would appear only those who agree with their own point of view are encouraged to participate." (emphasis added)

It appears the future is now! (Grin)

Getting lost in all the emotion is the basic fact...a fact that was the crux of my first post:

"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."

Further reading of the first post will reveal that this was only MY opinion...MY experience. Nowhere was there an attempt to "rally" anybody to my point of view. It is just that...MY point of view. It is certainly not my fault that so many others feel the same way. This alone should give the developer pause.

I am genuinely done with this discussion and I certainly had no designs on being the "voice of opposition".

Again, vote with your dollars if this is the way you do things. I have no problem with those who disagree with me. Sadly, this feeling doesn't appear to be reciprocal.

Observation and opinion do not equal attacks.

To answer winesh - "You can start by answering my very ontopic question :p Which transition effects are added in the pro version."

I do not know...I haven't purchased the "Plus" version for the aforementioned reasons.

Hi!

I'm still having problems setting up wallpapers for Holo Launcher.

No matter how I crop/select area to be set as wallpaper (most of all, expanding area selector), it always uses a pretty small area and stretches it to be set as a wallpaper.

So, I had to edit wallpapers, making a bigger/transparent image base where to paste original wallpapers inside and save them.

This way, all my wallpapers have a pretty big border/padding in order to "force" area selector to use the areas I wanted.

I assume this is a bug, since it shouldn't happen, and it doesn't happen on Go Launcher EX.

Also, I'd like to know if is actually possible to set a different background to lock screen.

I'd like to have a "Lock Screen" wallpaper and a "Desktop" wallpaper.

Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] ba_hamilton:
I've used this launcher since it first came on the scene. It's come a long ways. The dev even implemented a suggestion I made eons ago. I keep switching between this launcher and ADWLauncher EX because ADW runs themes. I have a couple of icon sets that I enjoy switching between. I know I can change the icons on the home screen in Holo but I like the icons in the app drawer to change also. If Holo could run themes (make it a paid feature) it would become my primary launcher. There are many things I like about it.

[Android Apps and Games] Trina9:
I could never get scrolling wallpaper to work on Go Launcher until I tried Wallpapyrus. Works in Holo too.

You might need to get an app like Widget Locker to change the lock screen wallpaper.

Widget Settings not saved

Hi Guys, after updating to 1.1.0 on CM7 Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i), after the phone restarts seems not of my widgets are saved on the home screen. I've installed & uninstalled a couple of times where it doesn't retain the settings at all. Everything disappears/gets reset (where even setting for default launcher gets reset!) Its been frustrating! :(

And do ya'll have any other way of purchasing the Plus Add on since i don't have a credit card & the Play Store seems not to accept debit cards! :(

Hi,

i'm running CM9 on my SK17i and so far, this is the most compatible launcher I have found without any big issues (no FCs so far after a week)

however, i'm noticing an issue when adding certain things to my homescreens...

when I try to add any weather widget (ie: Beautiful Widgets), nothing shows up on the screen

I have to same problem when I try to add a shortcut to a direct contact ....

is there a setting that I'm missing? but in general, it seems that some shortcuts just isn't being added onto the homescreens

[Android Apps and Games] Val D.:
Same thing here. Worked for 3 days with no issues and than something happened. A lot of lag and 1 freeze. No new apps were installed during testing. I really like Holo and at one point was over enthusiastic that it can replace other popular launchers but it has too many issues (at least on my LG Optimus with stock Froyo 2.2). Going back to good old LPP with ICS mod.

:rolleyes:

Not to beat a dying horse, but this is EXACTLY what I was talking about (and was heartily criticized by some for speaking up) last Friday.

Remember?

"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."

Holo Launcher is not ready for prime time. Went back to ADW Launcher EX without a glitch, stutter or freeze-up. A picture of my ADW screen below.

sir...

i haved install holo launcher and holo launcher Plus... but in setting i must upgrade tu plus...

sory for my bad english..
[Android Apps and Games] pokey:
Finally decided it was worth a post ....

... been using Holo for some time, bought the paid version straight away, & am very happy!

Its installed on my GTab P1000 & Wildfire S (both stock G'bread): I have never had a freeze or a FC, & there's no noticable lag. For whatever reason I'm obviously one of the lucky ones ...

I've used a wide variety of Launchers (ADW EX, VTL, Launcher 7, Nemus, Zeam, ssLauncher, Lightning ...) & this is, I have finally decided, my preference. ADW EX or VTL are very similar in functionality to Holo - VTL has the slight advantage over AWD EX because you do at least have a persistent Category label in the Drawer - but you still don't actually have Tabs like Holo & I prefer that, along with the extra two-finger gestures. I bought ADW EX & VTL, but they have pretty obviously been abandoned, so I've switched to something equally functional that is still under live development (& so should continue to improve).

Price? It's the cost of a Starbucks & totally comparable with other paid launchers.

I think you just need to restart the Launcher - reboot or use the "Restart" option in Launcher Settings

Holo plus

I have no complaints, just waiting to add the ability to create folders in the Applications menu. My opinion is that Holo plus is not expensive, but had to be free for people who care for translations in different languages! However, they have put work he has so many languages!

Plus feature still there after refund.

Hi there!

I don't wanna be a party pooper, but… I bought the app because in the comments (on play.google) I read that you can switch off the screen with the new gestures. Well, turns out that you can't (please prove me wrong!) so I asked for a refund and deinstalled the app after less than 1minute.

Well, turns out that even now without the "plus version" there is still the 1x1 widgets in the dock and I can even add new ones.. after a reboot the widgets are still there but I can't move them around.

I guess you wanted to know about this bug since the 1x1 thing is a plus feature only, right? And please let me know if there is a way to switch off the screen with the gestures.

cheers!

hello.

I'm close to buy extended version of holo launcher, but first I would like to ask a few questions to the author if he plan:

1. add dot style desktop indicator

2. add option to disable side blue illumination appearing when you're on the extreme, outermost screen and want to scroll more (infinitive scrolling off )

3. add desktop overshoot (allows bouncy scrolling desktop screens if infinitive scrolling in holo is disabled) with setting from 1 to 100 describing how big bounce will be

4. add option to describe margin for screens and imargins ts size (e.g. simple widget calendar is stretched from screen side to screen side

those ideas come from ADW.Launcher

Bug with SE X10?

This launcher looks nice but I need to use the one of SE itself still because this launcher does not show the second screen with apps installed.

So when I open the apps with the round button on the bottom, I see the apps installed, then I swipe to the second screen with apps but there are none and in the third screen the apps are again visible but the ones on the second screen are missing visually.

I have a Sony ericsson X10. If you need more info, just ask.

The App Drawer is slow, especially when you enable the "Card Stacks" transition effects.

At least it doesn't force close as often and as badly as other "ICS" Launchers out there.

Or at least, those that do NOT require a Rooted device, anyways.

I really would like to see improvements to the App Drawer. :D

Thanks for this! :D

Yes, I do remember and I did support your position. Not everybody is lucky with Holo. Looks like we are experiencing some hardware specific problems. On the other hand I never had a FC/freeze on LPP or Go EX. Makes me think the problem isn't in the hardware. I don't know. What I know is that I use my phone in my work, I'm not just playing with it. A good reason for me to uninstall an app is to see it lock/freeze just once. I shall chack on Holo after some time. It's not reliable enough for me at the current development stage.
[Android Apps and Games] ClubWDW:
I'm excited for the future potential of this launcher. It looks good but it's even FCing on my son's month old phone. Lots of alternatives out there...many cost free...that don't have these issues. I, like you, will be checking in from time to time in hopes of progress.

Because holo notifier requires Gmail 4.0.5+, and this gmail version runs only on ICS and CM9 devices. GB and CM7 devices still using version 2.3.6.

Redraw problem

I just did the manual update to ICS on my Sprint GS 2 epic (d710) [also rooted], and I have gotten a new behavior in which after I (pattern) unlock, hololauncher shows no widgets no icons etc. I have to hit the menu and relaunch to get it to come up. However. when i have swiped over to a different desktop screen, even while blank, the relaunch seems to be on the palce i swiped to. Its like the app is working.. but not redrawing after the unlock. Thoughts?:(

I have also discovered that if its rotated enough time/fast enough it also doesnt redraw.

[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
In general settings, tick keep in memory and if the rest is not needed, untick it

Disable all animations. None scroll cache.

I think that is all to make it smooth.

The launcher is smooth for the first few built. The launcher in the latest few builds is kinda laggy ;/
[Android Apps and Games] Div033:
The launcher is only smooth on ICS. I don't think the dev has any plans to improve the smoothness of the launcher on earlier versions of android because it is really hard to program. The guys who made Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher, 360 Launcher and SPB Shell knew how to program for a smooth user experience on Gingerbread and froyo. It isn't very easy to do.

Holo Launcher is intended to bring ICS experience on 2.2+ devices. ICS already has ICS launcher, no need to install Holo. If Holo is not smooth on 2.2+ than it is not good. I have tested the latest version on 2.2. Same lags and rough screen transitions compared to other popular launchers. And wallpapers don't look good too. Someone mentioned this problem earlier, wallpapers look low quality even if the picture is perfect and with right resolution. For now Holo is "on hold" position on my phone.
