WOW ;-D

It's the best Launcher I have installed ever!

Holo is gread! It's Real ICS!

But, please integrate the "Tab Widgets" from ICS! Because then holo launcher is not to beat than this! :) :) :)

(My English is... ...not the best)

It's a nice launcher but not very fluid and smooth on my OG Incredible. It's still nice though.
[Android Apps and Games] jbarcus81:
I'm on an Incredible 2 and it's not that smooth either.. A great launcher but the slow animations make it feel clunky... Can't wait to see if this can be fixed or if thins smooth out!!

Widgets only work when installed on phone memory, AFAIK.
[Android Apps and Games] FybrOptx:
Works great for me!

Seems to work just fine on my Optimus V, ZTE Score and Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0. Replaced Go Launcher (and Go Weather, Locker and theme) with this for a nice consistant package across all my devices. And SMALL compared to the rest. The ZTE is the lowest common denominator since it has the smallest amount of free memory (even after rooting and uninstalling lots of stuff) and it runs smoothly for me with Fancy Widgets Pro for clock and weather. Great work!
[Android Apps and Games] ba_hamilton:
Nice work on this. I have no lag and all my widgets work. Overlapping widgets would be nice and the ability to lock the home screen would be two suggestions I have.

If you really want that go make it yourself... Someone already request that... We cant force the creater of this launcher to make what we want instead of that go and vote in the forum the great dev has createt
[Android Apps and Games] an-tre:
Thanks for this launcher, it's the best of ICS launchers on non-ICS devices I've ever used. And free!

I've encountered several problems though:

- (already mentioned) widgets do not appear on the desktops after phone restart;

- sometimes Home button does not preview desktop, but infinitely goes to default screen;

- applications disappear from the Drawer and only launcher restart helps;

- same thing sometimes happens with the contents of the desktops - they disappear without the reason.

[Android Apps and Games] GPS_Music:
I used Halo Launcher for a day after having used Go Launcher for a few months. And still felt Go is better at the moment (this may change seeing the constant updates OP is making to it).

The main question I have: Which is better, Go Launcher or Halo Launcher? Why?

(Currently on Samsung Galaxy S II on 2.3.6).

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] sdotmouse:
Only you can decide what is better for you.

App drawer opening closing transition is laggy in stock Gb galaxy note
[Android Apps and Games] GPS_Music:
I understand that. Maybe I should have phrased the question better.

What are the pros and cons of each?

A more specific question aside from that:

There is a widget on Go Launcher that allows you to mannage things like switching wifi, data, vibrate and sound on and off. There is an "equivelant" on Halo, but it is missing some switches such as turning data (non-wifi) on and off, setting the phone on silent, vibrate, etc.

A widget on Go Launcher gives me the time and local weather, it also allows me to access the Alarm, world Clock, Stopwatch, and Timer menu when I click on the digital clock part. The one on Halo launcher only tells me the time and does not take me to the alarm, etc. menu when I click on it.

Lastly, I see no calendar widget. The one I have on Go Launcher synce with my google calendar. So when I, say, make an event on google calendar, it symce it to the phone calendar widget, and vice-versa. Is there a widget for this on halo launcher?

Is there a way to get these widgets (or equivelant ones) on the launcher? I'd provide screenshots, but I am not above 10 posts yet....

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ETFoneHome:
This launcher works great on the Galaxy Exhibit II and thanks for making it!

Oh and please don't over-bloat it like the other launchers out there!

As for widgets, for those who didn't know, the stock launcher widgets that you have accustomed to usually are not compatible with third party launchers. Some third party launchers have their own widgets but I find most of them limited in features.

The person who wanted a widget that can launch stuff on a bar and calendar, look up something like Widgetsoid2.x and jorte calendar. There are too many Weather/clock widgets to mention. There are plenty of aftermarket widgets to choose from in Google Play that can be used on all launchers.

I also like to search Youtube to watch vids of softwares because they show a lot of features I may have overlooked and so on.

Hello. Is possible create my own theme for this launcher? I downloaded iconpack with ca. 2300 icons and i want to make my own theme for this launcher with this icons. Thanks and sorry for my English, but i am beginner :p
[Android Apps and Games] buckhunter:
Goto settings/applications. Click halo then clear defaults. When you hit home it will ask you what launcher you want to use.

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

To use the icons you dl longpress the icon you want to change then click edit click the icon then choose icon pack then choose the icon pack you want to select from
[Android Apps and Games] maros6666:
Yes. That is on the screen. And on appdrawer?
[Android Apps and Games] Lakland:
THank you

Also I noticed that the SMS notification do not show on the icon, for example, is there 3 new sms, a number "3" appears on message icon
[Android Apps and Games] Scary Guy:
Works great even on ICS (cm9) itself!

I think I'm going to downgrade back to gingerbread again. This will make that transition a lot easier.
[Android Apps and Games] korekore1:
widgets disappear sometimes on reboot

app drawers opening animation is very laggy on 1.03

drawer folders or customizable tabs please and this launcher can go paid app
[Android Apps and Games] ba_hamilton:
To compare this launcher against Go Launcher at this point is really unfair. I love the small footprint of Holo launcher vs. the bloat of Go. Anyhow, that's beside the point. These are my suggestions to replace your missing Go launcher features. There are many other options.

Check out Power Widget Lite by BK Mobility for your onscreen power bar options.

Get the Ultimate Custom Clock Widget (UCCW) by VasuDev for your clock, alarm, and weather options. UCCW is the hottest widget going right now IMHO. Check out the thread in XDA.

For your on screen calendar widget take a look at Simple Calendar Widget by Alex Gavrishev.
[Android Apps and Games] GPS_Music:
Thank you for your suggestions, I will look into them.

I suppose the question now is what do you mean by this statement:

It would be much appreciated if you could expand :)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ericmejias:
Hi! Suggestion here!

Since we have Hide Dock option... just like to suggest to add gesture "Show Dock"

For me it feels good hiding your notification and dock.

You just scroll down to show notifications and scroll up to show dock.
[Android Apps and Games] solomon4400:
just wanted to say as soon as i tried this launcher i made it my daily. it is the best launcher for me on gb

just wish you could add more than 1 transition in both desktop and app drawer

thanks again for a great launcher
[Android Apps and Games] sonyn:
You could use something like "Twisted Home Manager" to switch between launchers.
[Android Apps and Games] sdotmouse:
I think Go Launcher has a ton of stuff that is unnecessary. It's ~8mb and Holo is ~1mb. Go is stuffed full of Bloatware like it's own market for themes and widgets that installs whether you want it or not. It spams the notification bar with adverts for themes, lots of transition effects that slow things down. Uses lots more ram/cpu/battery than Holo. Go is slower than Holo because Holo has only what is needed to function, no gimmicks. All Go widgets have alternatives (often better) on the Play Store. Go may be.

Hi - have searched thread and seen lots of requests for this but no responses.

Can anyone confirm if this launcher can be configured to show sms/call missed counter on dock icons currently ?

Loving the launcher but really like this feature - would be pretty perfect with it. Really like the dockbar line showing which scrollable dock you are on & 5 spaces - really nice. Like this as leaves room free on screens for widgets etc.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] arman68:
Actually, the fact that it is compared against Go Launcher Ex, should be considered as a compliment. Go Launcher Ex is a very well polished, functional and powerful launcher, which I consider one of the best. The fact that Holo Launcher has managed to achieve a similar status in a very short time, while staying light is amazing.
[Android Apps and Games] NutellaBanane:
Noone is forcing the dev we're allowed to post suggestions...

Back to topic:

Just notice a weird bug after editing screens ( adding / deleting screens).

After that all widgets and apps or folders are invisible and you have to restart the launcher to fix this o: Anybody got the same problem?

[Android Apps and Games] Lashy:
Great Launcher. I was getting a lot of battery drain with the Go launcher so decided to try this one and work very good for me.
[Android Apps and Games] decemberhayes:
Hi,

I think the launcher has a very big potential to become the most popular launcher out there, so very good job.

The only problem I faced, which to me is a killer atm, is that the app drawer animation is not very smooth. I am running a stock GB on my Evo3D and I have to say I am dissapointed. I was using 360 launcher for some time on my previous phone and I have to say the transition effects there were much smoother than here. I have just installed 360 on Evo too and it is much smoother too, so I think the issue must be on the coding side.

Hope this can be looked into and optimized.
[Android Apps and Games] anzianzi:
The appdrawer animation is actually the only reason i'm not using this as adaily driver. I'm using FTL launcher and I just can't live without it's smooth and fast opening and closing animation, and drawer scrolling. :) I think it would be a cool option to have a setting to use native gingerbread style menu, because most apps use that, and it's nice to have things match. If I remember correctly ADW ex does use GB-style menu on gingerbread and ICS-style menu on ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] GPS_Music:
What exactly was causing battery drain on Go Launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] TwistedSanity666:
just installed and I like :)

only the one suggestion:

- option for the wallpaper to be cropped to the size of one screen, rather than across the screens. a feature which was really annoying in earlier versions of sense

Possible to enable it to see the calendar widget? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] velascomike:
Thanks for the great launcher.

Usually on the launchers I've tried when you open an app from the drawer and then later you exit the app you return to the Home screen. In Holo you return to the app drawer. It would be nice to have an option to choose the behavior you want (either return to the app drawer or go to the Home Screen).

Thanks again, beside this all is going smoothly with the launcher

[Android Apps and Games] TheBashar:
1.0.4 feedback

Great release, thank you! I love the desktop lock feature.

One small bug that may have been there in earlier releases. With infinite scrolling + elastic scrolling + wallpaper scrolling, the elastic effect looks nice on non-edge screens. When scrolling to the leftmost or rightmost screen, the wallpaper does a jarring over-exaggerated bounce. It's like it's elastic bouncing between the wallpaper positions of the current and complete opposite side.

Then my wishlist for new features:

gesture to return to home screen

cube desktop transistions

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] abaochen:
-1、you can set this functions

-2、disagree add soft button，it is ugly，use your phone back icon

[Android Apps and Games] TheBashar:
A couple minor bugs / nits:

With a folder open, the option key brings up the Launcher option menu behind the open folder. Probably should close the folder or at least appear in front.

Infinite scrolling + elastic scrolling, there is an increased elastic bounce magnitude wrapping between the far left & right screens. Elastic bounce should be the same magnitude on all transitions.

Infinite scrolling + elastic scrolling, starting on a far edge screen and using home key to return to center screen produces an increased elastic bounce also.

Not sure how, but sometimes tapping in the empty space of a non-full folder creates a light blue vertical cursor like line: |

Add apps shortcut takes a VERY long time to populate and display the apps list. It's possible to scroll to a differnt page or even launch an app while waiting for the list to appear. I suggest keeping a cached list of apps and subscribing to app add / remove / change notices.

Would like to see half the inter-row spacing used as top and bottom margin for the top row and dock icons.

Home key can be configured to return to default screen. Would love to see as a gesture option as well.

Then the straight up feature requests I'd love to see:

Cube transitions

The Holo Launcher is a great launcher for android since the Holo Launcher became the principal of my tablet.

I have a GT7105 Genesis Tablet with Android 2.3 and Honeycomb UI, and has worked very well.

I want to leave a tip if possible to better adjust the wallpaper, as it appears in Holo Launcher zoom, the image has the exact size of the screen, but still appears to zoom.

I'll put an image with a photo of the tablet using each launcher I have, Launcher.launcher is the original tablet, and also the latest Go Launcher EX. You can see that what most sets the Wallpaper is Go Launcher, and then Launcher.launcher Holo Launcher appears the zoomed image.

Thank you!

[Android Apps and Games] withbloodskies:
Hmm.. I use none and about 60-70% speed on desktop. But if you don't even want to see the transition then use speed 90-100%.

For app drawer I use vertical because horizontal is incredibly laggy. To limit the lag you need the app drawer to be super small in grid size.

So the best way to make it super fast would be vertical.

This may depend on hardware a custom roms, this launcher has performed better on sense 3.5 than ICS or a different rom.

So I guess it just depends.
