I have a annoying problem. On my home screen I have several text widgets, like calendar and Twitter. When pressing back a couple of times when no app is open the text on the home screen starts burning and gets unreadable, especially when scrolling the text widgets. Only a reboot solves it.
[Android Apps and Games] electricpete1:
The two first suggestions you probably already tried, may be a matter of terminology.

Did you press menu button while on normal desktop (home screen)?

Did you try to clear program data before uninstalling?

The only other vague suggestion is to uninstall Holo and the look for some Holo Launcher directory or file that remains sitting on your phone afterwards.. then delete that directory before reinstallation.

searching for 1.2.8!

@hadi_rena, I have been searching for 1.2.8. for days now. Sorry to bother you but it would be super helpful to get the 1.2.8 apk from you. I can't find it anywhere else!

Found many pirated copies of the 1.2.8 pro version, but I'm not down with stealing from the dev.

Bad experiences with 2.0+. FCs, unbearable slowness in the entire phone, sometimes freezing so badly battery pulls were needed.

Anyhow, thanks in advance so much! :highfive:

Hi.

I really like this launcher but for some reason, all of my widgets disappear whenever I reboot, even when the desktop is locked. In addition, the launcher default for Holo also disappears. Due to this, I even had to restore my phone since I had disabled my stock launcher, causing the phone to boot loop. Does anyone know what the problem could be? If it helps, I have an LG Thrill with a custom ROM.

Try to reinstall your rom. Full wipe before it and check whether the issues fixed or not

Returning to App section after editing Tabs?

Can this be done?

hey

i installed the launcher on my android 4.0.4, but i cant put widgets on my desktop.

i should install holo launcher as a system app.

can someone tell me how i can do this?
[Android Apps and Games] korekore1:
I don't know if putting the launcher in system/app will help you with the widgets,but anyway.You should be rooted to start!Open root explorer go to data/app and move the apk to system folder,paste it there.Go inside system/app check a random apk to see its permissions then go out to system/ and change the launcher's permissions to match. (make sure r/w is enabled on root explorer) Then move the app from system/ to system/app and replace.Reboot and you are ready.

Best Launcher...need one update desperately to beat All other

Add an option of changing Dock background where it accepts custom docks.

Mobint, can you please add an option of having the doc change like aos/launcher pro and use custom doc, they give an option of changing the theme also,but that's not big deal, we can change icon set here....Appreciate your effort. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the best...and I mean it when I say that...I have used Go,Apex,ADW,Launcherpro etc all...but this one got all options of other plus other custom options like adding drawer tabs with as per your wish and name,distribute as per your option and lot more plus the ICS theme is best in the market. But over and above the low memory usage and stability...I am using micromax ninja four where RAM is little low...I was frustrated using Go and other launchers...so much memory usage and RAM usage...min 17-30mb!!!!!...LauncherPro was good as it use like10-15mb of your RAM...but that does not have much option....then I tried this one....OMG....it does not even show in my RAM usage...and it's with hellll lot of custom options...ICS look...first and steady.....this is THE best......and I am going to use this one permanently now......Thanks a lot Mobint Software.

excuse me, im one of user who love this apps, it's really smooth on Galaxy Ace and light size.

so far there aren't any complain from me, but can i give suggestion about next update?. Can you make an option that we can change icon on the App Drawer section, there are to many dumb icons on my app drawer but it useful i just want to look my app drawer cleaner, if you can do this, maybe you are the first launcher that give this option. maybe only that

oh and there are a problem about Holo Locker that, after i install it and checklist the "enable" option. Everytime i lock my phone there are no lockscreen. it's like holo locker isn't working? anyone have same problem with me?

and my more, if you have free time, can you make an apps that looks like Jelly Bean too? like, make Google Calendar, Messaging Apps, Notes, Dialer, and Setting Menu thats support 2.1+ and looks like jelly bean?. thanks by the way​

Widget & Shortcuts Placement....

I'd like to request that you add an option on our homescreens to place a Widget or Shortcut in the "On Top", "Bring Forward", "Send to Back"...Positions, as in other launchers, I believe Nova Launcher had this ability when I used it, but since I've had to go back to Gingerbread OS, I have been using Holo Launcher and I really like the launcher & its performance. But in the Launcher settings, you give us the capability to "Overlap" widgets when placing them on the screen, but while doing this, a lot of times you run into the situation where you need to be able to pull a shortcut forward, or on top of another widget, because you need to be able to "Click" the shortcut but if the widget is "On Top" of it, you hit the widget first instead of the shortcut.

I hope I explained it well enough, but I would really appreciate any help with this or a new update that would give us this capability.

Also I would like to put in another Vote for the request above regarding Changing Icons in the App Drawer. That would be very useful also.

[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
If this is the first you read/heard it, then drop back on this or the other Holo threads. I used to defend the dev here. Now he is completely unresponsive, inactive in the thread or email.

I understand he has a life. I paid for all of his apps. I expect a response. Not 1 in over 7 emails over 3 months. I used to run the trolling off in this thread.

Writers for blogs won't review him because of his lack of visible presence.

I am not saying the program/app is short of awesome. Its a great launcher. The coding is pretty darn good to.

But.. If you are not going to support the app, charge a rather premium fee for it, refusal to answer anything in emails, and well, from what I hear, refuse to release the source code or use repos as required when you base something off Androids code, then well, good luck with that.

Respect to the developer for making the smoothest launcher of all.

I was a Nova user and recently found out that Holo is even smoother with the same customization options.The little difference between these two great launchers is that Holo requires less slide of my finger in order to scroll to the next page.I don't know how else to describe it : It's more sensitive in touch:good:
[Android Apps and Games] The_Count:
What I'd like to ask is, is this launcher capable of replacing my original launcher, which forces lanscape view, if I was to delete the original and incorporate holo into Rom with titanium backup, or does it work more like a skin over the original? I have the commtiva N700, 2.2, ARMv6 and this app works beautifully on it and at a little over 1mb takes less space than the 4+ mb original launcher.

After spending 1 week with Holo i realized that everything works great except 2 things :

1)When i scroll from one home screen to the other i must wait a little bit in order to use the widgets i have on the screen i went.For example let's say that in my second home screen i have the google reader widget.If i scroll to the second homescreen and try immediately to scroll the news down, Holo does not understand my finger movement and pass me to the 3rd page.I must wait a few seconds so as to use the widget.The same thing happens with all the widgets.( not only the scrollable)

2)Sometimes when i push continuously the home screen with one finger in order to get to the commands menu of holo ( add widget,add shortcut etch) , nothing happens.This is a bug that i found also in Apex launcher.

Can the developer see these 2 matters or it's something that is happening only on my phone?

PS : I have jelly bean installed.

Hi All!

I bought holo locker plus but when I reboot my Android ICS the device (Zp300+) goes directly to the home without asking me to insert pin number, therefore there isn't any network...

Would you please be so kind to help me????

Hi, new here.

I stupidly removed the upswipe gesture for the settings (Galaxy Tab 2) so I can't access the settings now since there's no menu button anymore (using a Galaxy Ace 2 as phone which still has one). Am I just completely missing something or am I boned? Do I have to wipe it and reinstall the launcher to access the settings again? Is there no way to get to those settings beside the gestures?

Thanks for any help, hope I don't have to reinstall it ^^
[Android Apps and Games] PenguinxEnjoi:
You can hold down on empty space, and Launcher actions, and then add the launcher settings (if my memory saves me right) you could also look through the activities of the Holo Launcher App by long pressing, then shortcuts, then activities and search for the app's settings activity.
[Android Apps and Games] Sogeman:
Oh right, forgot that. But there's no way to access them from anything other than a shortcut or gesture, right? I can already see switching between a Gingerbread Phone and ICS tablet messing my brain up ^^

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] PenguinxEnjoi:
I don't think so, except for clear data, but you already said you don't want to clear data so idk...
[Android Apps and Games] electricpete1:
Depending on how you have launcher set up, launcher settings may be accessible by pressing menu button on home screen.

You shouldn't have to install it. You can certainly access the shortcut to settings many different ways. If your desktop is locked, you can still get to it using shortcut a variety of ways:

1 - Tasker/autoshortcut.

2 - One-tap quick bar allows shortcut to Holo settings from a notification pulldown.

3 - Quick Short Cut Maker (Free) allows access to Holo Settings through the "Try" button. Lots of ways. You shouldn't have any problem getting to Launcher settings.

Love this launcher, absolutely has everything I can think of. One quite noticable issue, though, and I can't find its being mentioned anywhere else, is that the resize function for icons on the desktop, in folders AND in the dock results in quite messy images: they're not properly resampled, so the edges are quite jagged/chipped. I'm on Gingerbread (CM7.2), and have never had this issue with other launchers that support this feature, such as ADW Launcher. I also tried to resize the icons to the appropriate dimensions I would like them to be in and then tried to find the corresponding resizing percentage in Holo Launcher's settings, but that didn't do the trick. Would be great if this were to be fixed!

On the screenshot: look at the left side (back) of the phone icon's receiver (first icon). It's also quite evident in the 3rd, 4th and last icon.

new feature

hi.

i have the pro version and love it. i would like to ask for a feature:

i think it would be nice to have an option to have the launcher return to your default home screen after you launch an app from any of your home screens or the app drawer.

for example you launch a game and have a play then you close it and after that you will most likely want to go back to your default home screen so it would be nice to have that instead of you going back to one of your app drawer tabs or one of your home screens.

what do you guys say? is it just me beeing too pretentious? :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] electricpete1:
You lost me. After you launch an App... do you not want to go to the App?

To return from App to launcher, press home. To return to the main (home) home screen, press home again.

I'll take an opportunity to voice my personal related minor peeve (for an otherwise outstanding program):

Pressing home while in the launcher takes you to the main (home) home screen and also takes you to the center dock.

BUT if you were already at the main (home) home screen and press home, you don't go to the center dock.
[Android Apps and Games] mark70n35:
I have recently tried other launchers and believe Holo launcher to be the best for both ram and features.

However please add the ability to create folders in the app drawer this can already be done on the desktop so hopefully it won't be too hard to add this feature in the app drawer also. In addition please add the ability to include hidden apps in custom tabs. There are some apps that I want to keep separate. Thirdly it just occurred to me that a hidden tab feature (unlocked by gesture) for storing apps/data privately would be a cool idea.
