[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akalostangel:
I see all these threads asking the same questions about rooting using KFU. There are also threads from the developers who graciously help us once we've screwed up. I am a noob. I am not unfamiliar with computers, commands, or processes. That being said, sometimes I have to read and reread to "get it". Some people won't read. Some people won't search. Some people won't try to fix it before asking because they are scared to make it worse.

As a noob I. Would like to share a few things that MAY help other noobs if they will just take the time to read it.

1. Read the guides posted here for you. I know they contain words that may be unfamiliar to you but read them anyway.

2. Before using the Kindle Fire Utility read the instructions posted with it. As a matter of fact, read the whole thread.

3. Once you begin using KFU read what is on your screen before plugging in you kindle or pushing any buttons.

4. This link was very helpful to me as it gives step by step instructions from a nontechnical person's point of view. http://deviceguru.com/kindle-fire-root-and-tweak/ Using it should not take the place of reading everything else. Just read the whole page before beginning to follow the steps.

Rooting my Kindle made it so much more than what I thought it could be and I am glad I did it. But it is not for the faint of heart, nor is it something that should be jumped into without learning a bit about what you are doing.

Please take the time to educate yourself. It will.make you feel better about what you are undertaking AND make you sound like less of a noob when you get into trouble and need help from the people here who actually know what they are doing.

added hidden dock swipe from bottom to top

still needs work ill make it so you can select what you want in the dock but for now it just uses the first 5 apps
[Android Apps and Games] revo_65:
This is awesome! Nice and simple....few suggestions, ability to lock auto-rotation as well as possibly the ability to choose vertical scrolling.
[Android Apps and Games] iatll:
Looks pretty slick! On a Nexus S the title font is small and you should include some sort of barrier to prevent scrolling too far. Otherwise, looks pretty good.

It seems to be what I've been looking for since I own my Ace! A very, very, very lightweight launcher! I'll install it ASAP and, probably, delete Zeam (abandoned) and use this one!

Thanks man!
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
ill add a setting soon so you can change font size yes i want to reduce padding on the sides but the way the launcher works iv had some problems doing that but i have not given up

yes :( but there's not much text to it just the settings i may change it to icon so everyone can understand

:) glade you like it, it should get a lot better i have some good ideas
[Android Apps and Games] Lucky Break:
Seems interesting. I`ll try this one :)
[Android Apps and Games] si_bolang:
icon labels can't show full,please fix
[Android Apps and Games] ivianny:
This is so cool lol I'm using ics and while I wouldn't make it a home screen for ics I would 100% for GB. Its so minimal its cool and my GF actually liked it too.

On a side note, think you could make folder support?

¿ |) A ® |< $ ¡ |) £ ?
[Android Apps and Games] neuropsychosis:
Seems like a good idea but there has to be a way for us to get to the up faster instead of scrolling. And folder support please.

CLICK HERE for a quick IQ test
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
yes i'm aware of this problem ill sort it out soon :)

yes folder support is in the plans

when you say get up i guess your saying a way to scroll to the other side faster sure ill work something out

new update 1.8 with:

New dock settings

New dock effects

Hide app settings

Fixed pinch zoom and dock both activating

Other small fixes

You can now use dock when zoomed out

Found problem with hidden apps I'll sort it for 1.9
[Android Apps and Games] buzzboy:
Great job Spider. This Launcher also suits your Rom builds perfectly.

Keep up the great work.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
1.9 is out :) more bug fixes i hope
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
im thinking about making a openGL version what do you think ?

im no longer thinking about doing this
[Android Apps and Games] smekcio:
Nice for low-ends :D

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Kismet010:
Testing your app on HTC Wildfire with CM 7.2RC2

Bugs:

1. I have a lot of blank space with nothing on the right and left of the "apps grid", why?

2. Vertical auto-alignment would be nice, 'cos I have gap between statusbar and the first row, no matter if I set less icon size or space. (see attached images)

3. Apps title gets cut.

4. Settings fonts are too big. (see attached images)

5. Dock runs when I slide my finger from bottom to top, nice to have a dock but it could appear when I slide it a little, not having to cross the entire screen.

Features request:

1. Have a button to show/hide apps selected on the settings, may be when I press menu.

2. It would be great if we could change icon themes.

Thanks for your app!!
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
i'm using this on my sensation :)

Thanks for the response i have not done much small screen testing :P i guess its time :P

1: yep there is a lot of blank space on the left and right im thinking if removing the pinch to zoom and that should stop me from have a lot of blank space

2: yep the space is for the tilt effect looks nice on my sensation but if you increase spacing it should fill in the blanks maybe ill add another setting to set vertical spacing

3: text cutting off im going to fix that soon i guess it effects more on low dpi devices

4: my bad i set the font by pixels ill change it to dpi

5: ill fix the dock it is kinda messed up for low pixel devices

1: i like the hide/show apps in settings as i don't use it that much want to keep the popup menu clean

2: yes change icons iv got plains for that
[Android Apps and Games] Kismet010:
About the tilt and others effects... I choose your app for minimalist, lightness, speed and "do one thing and do it well" as an alternative to others overloaded and eye candy launchers, so maybe an option to disable all effects would be nice 'cos I think this is not the proposal of this app, don't?
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
the code in next version will be optimized = less loops

you can turn the tilt effect right down and it will not have any tilt (this will be optimized in next version as well) = 0 loops

im already using 2.0 and its going well a few more things i need to do and ill upload it

the main things that effect speed is

large icon size

small space

high number of icons in rows

so for max speed

use less rows

use smaller icons

have bigger spacing

the tilt effect is not a complex thing its just matrix editing on the images it does not effect speed as much as the things i listed above (or this maybe just for me as im using a sensation but any how 2.0 will have 0 tilt option)
[Android Apps and Games] gbueno6:
Splder, I'm really excited looking forward the new improved 2.0 version but I'd like to ask you if there's any possibility I can have all icons steady in my screen and not floating around (I've set tilt to 0).

Thank you very much for this really light launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] Kismet010:
gbueno6: you mean, like an app drawer?

I dreamed with a launcher with just an option to hide/show lesser important apps and all icons ready for "click" on it. Touching, moving and sliding my finger over a glass to see the weather and a picture widget it's too "cool" for me, I feel like an Apple boy.

But when I'm not showing my brand new phone to my friends I just need a practical list of icons/titles (like a menu) showing me the entire app (the important thing!). Lightlaunch is the closer idea to this "philosophy".

Just one more feature request:

- Be able to show only title text.

Thanks for this app!
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
2.0 has been uploaded to market page should update soon :) have fun i really like this new version works really nice on my sensation
[Android Apps and Games] Kismet010:
Testing 2.0

Important bug, see attached file.

If you need any log or whatever just tell me.
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
yep there is a small bug if you dont set a wallpaper go into settings and set the wallpaper ill fix that for next version

2.0.1 has been uploaded waiting for google to update the play store with this fixed
[Android Apps and Games] Kismet010:
Nice! (I said "important" bug 'cos my screen was very weird :P)

1. Title text still cropped if it's larger than icon size.

2. I notice a slow down speed when sliding from side to side. This is not too comfortable when I want to go to the other side of the drawer.

Let you a positive comment on the market.

A lot of thanks for this app!!
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
1. yep im still trying to decide how i want to approach this problem for now you can reduce text size to fix if you like

2. scroll is really fast for me im guessing its down to fps differences on different devices ill add another setting in settings where you can adjust scroll speed
[Android Apps and Games] itzik2sh:
Hi Spider

Aside from folder support already asked for, can you add a possibility to rename apps ( icons) label ?

I sometimes want to rename the long app name to a customized name.

It will also be awesome for all non English speakers.

Currently only Go Launcher EX has this functionality and it's very heavy.

Thanks, keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Kismet010:
About new version:

-I had text disabled, so no problem, but I think someone would request that feature.

-Maybe an option to disable reflection? I don't like it at all.

-Already gaps on app drawer sides and below the icons.

-Could you explain what splitters are? I'm addind/removing from 'arrange' menu but nothing happens.

-Please, for the next version I would like to see some way to change icons to fit themes.

-Icons looks better and app is faster I think, thanks a lot :)
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
yes as v2.0.1 was force closing i wanted to update quick text will be added back in soon

ill add option to disable reflection

the icon will need to be centred on left and right padding to work well with the zoom (maybe this will be changed but its like this for now)

for top and bottom padding you can adjust this by increasing row size or icon size and icon spacing

ok when you add a splitter it will be added to the bottom of the list then you can move it between icons to split them up into groups
[Android Apps and Games] Kismet010:
I have increasing FC when I use it for a while, remove&reinstall solve it but FC comes again about a week. Strange!
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
Hey guys and girls lightlaunch just got a huge update

Don't forget to rate and comment if you like it :)

and if you get any problems post them here hopefully all previous bugs should be fixed/

3.0

Live wallpapers

Custom icons

Horizontal and vertical scrolling

Scroll bar

Easier to rearrange icons(long touch drag and drop)

Easier dock and hidden app selection

Smoother scrolling

Optimized code

Added lots more settings
[Android Apps and Games] ARC_Dicker:
it was my favorite launcher... Sad, but without splitter and icon spacing option it's absolutely unuseable...

Looks like i should finally install 4.1.2 and check new touchwiz...(
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
I'll see if I can add a way to split icons again or something like that

I'm not to sure what you mean about icon spacing you can adjust the columns and rows to change the spacing
[Android Apps and Games] ARC_Dicker:
It would be great!

My screen of LL2.1 in attach. There was a frre space from icons (because i could change spaces between them). Now icons are taking entire screen space and i can't see any animation of Live Wallpaper behind them=)
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
Only thing you can do now is reduce icon size to see the wallpaper behind and reduce icon rows and columns

To have the old style of spacing would be very hard for the new style of code I would need to recode everything and the code would not be as elegant as it is now

You could also reduce zoom break so icons stay zoomed out for longer giving you the margin on the edges when scrolling

But if I dream up some code that's fits with the current code that will allow to set up a margin I'll add it but my current mind can't think of a good way to add it
[Android Apps and Games] :
I like to use Quick ICS Browser but whenever I set it in the dock and alter the settings, after the launcher restarts, the stock browser replaces it
[Android Apps and Games] :
Just found it by accident in play store, great launcher, but update it to ICS and up, because in settings still are ugly yellow bars
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
hum that's kinda strange i cant see how that happens ill have to look into it

the next update will be a lot better for older android versions
[Android Apps and Games] stanfordbinet148:
Beautiful launcher! It always amazes me, what skilled guys come up with. Awesome work!

Some feature suggestions (in kind of random order):

Feature to scroll back to the top (Home button press)

Feature to store and/or revert to the default (animation/size) values - e.g. for a "sorting-only" layout.

Option to choose a custom folder location for the icons

Text field input for faster (in terms of precision) setting of the values

Separate Apps for each Dock side (with maybe also more layout options than 1 column)

Sorting function for apps (A-Z, install date)

Folder and widget support with ability to hide the menu bar *cough*

And my dream would be:

Multiple home screens (per swipe, if vertical scroll is enabled > horizontal, vice versa)
[Android Apps and Games] haterforever:
Great launcher, developer is understanding and takes great interest in the community. I know the next release will be awesome

mVp
[Android Apps and Games] Sid Droid:
nice and lightweight....good app
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
hey some of your dreams are coming true :P

Separate Apps for each Dock side = DONE

Sorting function for apps (A-Z) = DONE

Multiple home screens = DONE (SWIPE WITH 2 FINGERS)

there is also many other improvements you just have to wait until Google update the play store to download.

if anyone gets any problems just post or email me and ill try my best to fix it

iv also added the apk to version 3.3 on first post if anyone want to downgrade just in case

[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
i need people to post screenshots and i may add your screenshot to the playstore (tablet screenshots would be cool)

also if you have made the 4.0 crash could you also post here what you was last doing before it crashed so i have some kind of idea how to fix it

or email me so we could work together in fixing it
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
Ram usage should be reduced a lot in 4.0.2 i'm getting 14mb of ram used from 37mb

but i only have 42 apps but still even if you have lots of apps it should not increase that much
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:

version 5.0.0 is out

now im working on 5.1.0 :)
[Android Apps and Games] _jis_:
I hope that this unique launcher is still supported

This is minimalistic, fast, smooth and lightweight launcher, just what I was looking for years :)

I used till now premium XGELS launcher, but it suffered a lot of bugs but what was the worst was its memory requirements. For example every time I used Google Chrome, XGELS restart itself and please, don't ask me how many seconds I've waited for populating my homescreen then... I have Moto G LTE with only 1GB RAM, its ROM is very close to pure Nexus and like this phone very much, but fully configured XGELS was overkill for it. So LightLaunch became my launcher now. I am astonished, because my phone is blazingly fast again.

But even LightLaunch has its own problems. fortunately mostly only when configuring, not when using it.

Here are bugs I experienced so far:

LightLaunch is periodically crashing after I consecutively hide about dozen apps and what is worse after such a crash all apps behind hidden app moved to new page! But this bug wasn't deal breaker for me. I analyzed apps table in apps.db and as a workaround manually edit it: I just replaced 0 for -1 in page column. I used MyAndroidTools Pro for it.

After first launch apps are sorted in random way, not alphabetically, not timely.

What I miss:

Options in the context menu after long press icon like:

Share Google Play link

Google Play page

Application info

Uninstall

Option for locking against unintentional modifications. Imagine that you have placed hundred icons in your way and then mistakenly select Sort Apps by Name in Advanced. Hopefully I have Titanium Backup.

Hidden Apps List aren't sorted alphabetically.

Support for Missed It! badges, but not so much.

Folders.

I cannot find this feature, is it obsolete in the latest version?

Another question: Is it possible to use Swipe Navigation with LightLaunch?

I would like to help you with translating to Czech.

PS: I configured LightLaunch with 3 pages with 9 rows and 4 columns. Here is my first page with 3 less used rows nicely hidden below bottom of the screen :)

For invoking widgets I am using SwipePad's WidgetPad (the last two snapshots).
[Android Apps and Games] bluepinkpanther:
It looks great and it performs really well. I would looove to see more advanced launcher build on this, like with normal screens (also fluid and smooth like right now).

Would be also great if status/nav bar would be completely transparent on android 5.0 or greater because right now it's semi-transparent. Screenshot below.

I'm going to folow development of this great app.
[Android Apps and Games] _jis_:
It is interesting, because on KK I have these bars transparent. See the snapshots in my previous post where you could see the Navigation bar, but the same is for Status bar, I just don't use transparent setting for Status bar.

PS: I attached snapshot just for you.
[Android Apps and Games] bluepinkpanther:
I know. Lollipop changed something about status and navigation bars transparency. Other apps build for kitkat also work this way on lollipop. It requires some changes to achive full transparent bars on lollipop. I don't know how to fix it tho.
[Android Apps and Games] _jis_:
I was curious myself so I measured it: XGELS launcher redraw took 20 to 22 seconds with my complex configuration which is unbelievable. How could I withstand it...

With LightLaunch I shortened this delay to approx 1 second, but it doesn't happen too often anyway, because LightLaunch has much lower memory requirements not only than XGELS but any other launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Splder:
sorry for the late replay iv been busy on another project I'm just a 1 man team so its hard keeping track of all my projects

its strange that lightlaunch keeps crashing iv tested lightlaunch on nexus 5 / HTC sensation / Samsung galaxy ace 2 and iv never experienced any kind of crashing not sure why its been crashing for you when hiding apps

when lightlaunch first starts apps are order of installation order this is how the package manager sends the list of apps I never programmed it to order the apps on first launch

I also wanted to add things like uninstall etc... in the context menu but from what i can remember it was very complex to implement it as required lots of code so I said its not worth it and never added them :P

locking is a very good idea and if ever get back to lightlaunch I would like to add this but all my current time is being used by other projects

hidden apps I would like to change the hole hidden apps system

I never really looked into the missed it badges but I'm guessing it could be a heavy feature but I don't know

lightlaunch was never designed to support folders

dock was removed that was in older versions of lightlaunch (you can use swipe navigation for the dock now)

yes swipe navigation works with everything including lightlaunch

I do have a new launcher project in my mind with pages folders widgets etc... but I need to finish my current project first before I can start that

I struggled with lollipop transparent status bar-navigation bar I don't understand why Google made it like that ill have to have another look into it if i ever get round to lightlaunch again

project list:

1) Protez - zombie shooting, wingsuit gliding, bullet jetpacking, game with cool physics

2) Soulplayer - smooth 3D music player

3) (no name yet) - launcher with smooth 3d animations no drawer all icons on pages with folders and widgets (looks amazing in my head)

4) remake Lightlaunch

5) a few other game ideas (not fully developed in my head yet)

order may vary
