The Beta runs much, much smoother but the crashes make it unusable. I'm guessing the release after next will bring it to complete smoothness.

I just hope my settings and tiles carry over!

Either way the OP didn't develop the app itself but translated and ported it for us so we CAN use it. I doubt he does much in the way of smoothing it out.
[Android Apps and Games] yeradis:
New version ?

Any news? Any beta for testing ? Current version is slow, and with some features missing.

Please allow us to:

Choose custom pics for tiles.

Allow set full size to those pics, to avoid those borders.

Allow use to change font color for the grid that appear when you want to filer apps at the apps list

Enable live tiles, and enable it for almost all apps, at least you can use notifications and based on their packages and assign to its corresponding tile.

I love this launcher.....another thing aftr great wall of china by chinese xperts
[Android Apps and Games] ShermCraig:
As has been stated numerous times in this thread, the developer of the app is not the same person that created this thread (OP). You have to go to the Developer directly. Their is a Feedback link under Menu>>More. Their website is www.anall.cn and is in Chinese.
[Android Apps and Games] new_nook_nooter:
Anything new? Really looking forward to the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
I thought there was supposed to be a new version yesterday.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I know this question has been asked hundreds of times but I honestly don't feel like going through 300 or more pages to possibly find the answer

My question? How do you delete the lock screen from launcher 8? I've looked in the data/data folder and didn't find anything and I've scanned the launcher 8 settings and didn't find anything
[Android Apps and Games] ShermCraig:
It's only 70 pages. ;)

I haven't actually done it, but my guess is to remove/uninstall "Anall Lockscreen" from Application Manager. Hope this helps....
[Android Apps and Games] mikeinghilterra:
how to disable lockscreen

settings -> security-> trusted credentials-> untick the ones that look foreign.

then go to launcher8 theme settings -> swipe to lockscreen -> untick lockscreen style and you should be all set
[Android Apps and Games] the_gunners:
great works, a bit laggy...

i'm using SGS II i9100

hope there will be improvement... :D
[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
It's crashing a lot now. Moving back to launcher7 which is much faster. It just doesn't handle the widgets as well.
[Android Apps and Games] ahmadsamhann:
Uhm, I cant find how to enable wp8 statusbar in homescreen. not sure if I'm dumb, or the WP8 statusbar only available in lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] MindlessLeadership:
App opening still don't work here.
[Android Apps and Games] hassanhassan:
A few things

Volume control doesnt work when the lockscreen is active

I have an app that lets me skip track/volume control/launch app with the middle button of my headset remote, this does not work when the phone is locked making it useless.

anall lockscreen should not be difficult to remove, but they have stopped people from doing it easily. How do I remove administrator status from this app?
[Android Apps and Games] vagabond1:
Volume control works for me (Check your ROM settings, especially if using AOSP, and your music player's handling of screen-off volume buttons) and the directions to remove were a few posts above yours. Its literally posted about every other page now.
[Android Apps and Games] LifeInAnalog:
..phone menu>security >device administrators >remove anall

[Android Apps and Games] hassanhassan:
Thanks, am using stock rom at the moment so not sure where in the settings to do this.

thanks for that

I reinstalled it, changed the settings on my headset button control app to keep phone from sleeping (if sleep mode prevents app from working) and to run the app from foreground (if other apps prevent this app from working), nothing is improved. I click the button but then the phone wakes up to lock screen. It also for some reason triggers the volume control to go up automatically as if it I am holding onto the button, which I set it up to to. After that, the button doesn't do anything, I have to take phone out, unlock it, then I can use the headset while it's unlocked or just put the volume down using the rocker.
[Android Apps and Games] ssshoe:
Menu Bar

Is there an option for the menu bar to auto-hide on the home screen?

Edit: Is there an option for the menu bar to auto-hide on any of the Launcher8 options or home screen?

It does disappear when I app away.

HTC EVO 4G LTE
[Android Apps and Games] vagabond1:
theme -> show statusbar

is that what youre talking about?
[Android Apps and Games] ssshoe:
I have tried that, this bar remains in all Launcer 8 screens - outlined in red on bottom.
[Android Apps and Games] shino82:
This is something else. Somewhere in settings of your Rom, Not vie launcher, you can change this.
[Android Apps and Games] uwdus:
Looks like navigation bar
[Android Apps and Games] ssshoe:
That would be great, the Launcher is awesome.

Where/How?? Running stock ROM - Rooted.

Have tried un-install/cache clear twice.

Running this same Launcher on similar phone - "problem" does not exist - not saying it may be on my end.

Also does not exist on two tablets with same Launcher.

Menu/Navigation terminolgy - it does bring up the Edit - Add - Theme Wallpapers - Settings - More options which do navigate correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] vagabond1:
The launcher doesn't have any settings that change the navigation bar, and the nav bar only pops up when a program uses it and you set a setting somewhere to enable it. I don't know what to suggest other than a clear data.

Also, The developers of the launcher have said on their BBS that they expect to launch the non-beta version of v1.2 on Friday, 8 PM Their time! It'll have the features of the beta, but without any of the bugs, and much improved stability over v1.1.4 even. Good news :)
[Android Apps and Games] ssshoe:
Thanks for the update!!
[Android Apps and Games] LifeInAnalog:
..I'm sorry, that's wrong. It'll be GREAT news!

Any word if it'll be a paid app or not?

1LifeInAnalog on Twitter
[Android Apps and Games] vagabond1:
Heres the thread where they announce the release date (And threten to ban people for asking. lol!)

http://bbs.anall.cn/thread-81914-1-1.html

no mention of a paid app or not. I'm assuming itll be released in the same capacity 1.1.4 was.
[Android Apps and Games] evarionn:
announcement includes...

At the same time, to tell you the good news: It is estimated that 1.2 official version Friday night at 8:00.

(i used google translate ;))

good news!!
[Android Apps and Games] sab3r:
so its gonna be today? ;]
[Android Apps and Games] crian:
I hope the version will fix the battery usage. Cause it drains like hell. My battery is melting away.
[Android Apps and Games] SignalX:
everything i need is a little smoothness

hope in v1.2

waiting for it
[Android Apps and Games] gitarion:
Hi. How to add live 1x1 tiles ? I saw clip on youtube with this.
[Android Apps and Games] evarionn:
Now, 1.2 released

Looks good so far :)
[Android Apps and Games] SignalX:
can anyone please share new apk here?

thanks

Nav bar.

Aww crud.

Navagation bar still perisists...still, great Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] SignalX:
v1.2, still lagy! O___o
[Android Apps and Games] iXsanders:
v1.2

cant find contact refresh

cant find where to choose the gallery previews

anyone ?
[Android Apps and Games] new_nook_nooter:
Agreed.

Why is it that we can't load the themes that we have worked so hard to create?

Don't get me wrong, I'm very appreciative of ALL the work that has been done until now, esp since the app is free, but I might delete and downgrade to 1.1.4. Not quite sure this upgrade is worth it for me. Your mileage may vary.
[Android Apps and Games] Ivyn87:
Hello, you can find the contact refrash and live gallery picture on "Theme option" under the voice "add others".
[Android Apps and Games] crian:
Great update. It uses less more battery and RAM.
[Android Apps and Games] Deadly:
Dafuq?:confused:

Less more or more less:eek:

If my post doesn't make sense, Ask HTC;)
[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
Not on App Store. Do you uninstall that one and manually natal this one? How do you uninstall a manually installed app btw.
[Android Apps and Games] vagabond1:
Yes, it would be best to backup your data, install the update, then try to restore your data (though for most its broken, for some it works)
[Android Apps and Games] vagabond1:
You know.. I tried disabling all the live tiles, and it really, really smoothed up for me. Try that!
[Android Apps and Games] TMinh:
ver 1.2 cant use saved themes because it's Launcher WP8, not Launcher8 on PlayStore. May be when they upload to PlayStore, it will be renamed to Launcher8 and all saved themes can be used :|
[Android Apps and Games] muadong200474:
some bugs on my xperia s

have some bugs when i used, sometimes, the lockscreen disappear @@ and it just appear again when i was restart
[Android Apps and Games] kirakun:
I just dont get it, i dont get any lags or something, im using a galaxy mini (legacy device- single core 600mhz) and i get no lags whatsoever even with gallery and contact tile.... Anyways the 1.2 is a huge improvement, i wish we had color palletes for choosing color gradients. And anyone noticed that images appear blurry whether in gallery tile or lockscreen? It wasn't the case in previous versions.
[Android Apps and Games] akshay007dhore:
Launcher 7 is more smooth than Launcjer8
[Android Apps and Games] samjunctio:
Launcher8 is awesome....
[Android Apps and Games] vagabond1:
I have a Galaxy S3 OC'd and it stutters when flicking
[Android Apps and Games] crian:
I got two launcher 8 processes. You got it too? Or is it a bug?
[Android Apps and Games] kirakun:
wow i never get any stuttering or anything like that and u OC'd too? Thats not strange anymore, its super strange. Well i just get blurred images :( Hope they will fix that.
[Android Apps and Games] ssshoe:
Not to say it's the launcher or not runing in conjunction with other phone processes but i guess comparisons for forums sake would be good.

On the HTC EVO 4GLTE

Stock RUU ROM with latest radio update.

Rooted, not OC'd.

I have encountered some stutter when using both gallery and contacts live tiles. Removing individually did improve smoothness and removing both made it very smooth. Added them back individually and smoothness stayed as if they were not back on the home screen.

Weird stuff. On initial gallery load, yes, images were not full quality but after one cycle they came in great.

Back on the persistent nav bar and reading up, yes, looks like a ROM quirk.

Easy quick solution is HideBar (needs root and busybox). With that, nav AND status bar hidden for fullscreen Launcher8 (WP8 1.2) home.

HideBar
[Android Apps and Games] maliceomalice:
Its nice, the apps have all the windows 8 function and feeling. But it is way laggy for my taste. Im gonna stay with launcher 7 till it get smooth. BTW,im using jellybean..maybe its laggy for me coz its not optimised yet with JB?
[Android Apps and Games] tot31:
I'm using Note 2 with JB 4.1.1 and just installed the latest v1.2. So far it is smooth, no lag or whatsoever and I'm starting to like it as for now I'm using Nova Launcher.

One more question, how to disable the lockscreen of this launcher. ? I want to use Samsung's stock lockscreen instead.
[Android Apps and Games] ssshoe:
Nav - Theme - Lockscreen - Launcher8 lockScreen - off.
[Android Apps and Games] lmike6453:
This launcher is amazing! It's snappy with slight lag when scrolling vertically which I can live with until fixed. Rated 5 stars on app store
[Android Apps and Games] madjoe76:
alpha or transparenz

hi..

test the lauchner 8, nice so far but..

a option to set the tile alpha or tranzparenz would be great!

until then I'll stay on launcher 7

regards
[Android Apps and Games] jsgraphicart:
I just came across this app yesterday in the play store and decided to try it out. I searched for a thread here on XDA and found this. :)

Anyway, great start on this launcher. The latest 1.2 version seems smoother than the 1.1.4 version in the play store. Weird thing is though is that I dont get the animations when opening an app. I'm running Jelly Bean so that might be it. My girlfriend is using this launcher on a gingerbread phone and I see it on hers. So far, thats the only real issue I have come across. I will test it out more and report any findings. And I'm looking forward to future updates.

---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------

Just saw a minor bug. When scrolling up and down in the start screen, the photo live tile seems to jump every time you scroll.
[Android Apps and Games] Conercao:
Found this on the marketplace the other day, heard about an updated version so ended up here :)

Almost as good as Launcher 7, and the folders go a long way to making it a serious contender, but the lack of an email notification tile (like in Launcher 7) kinda breaks this for me...

I'll give it a go for a few days, see how it goes... no-one has beaten L7 yet though...
[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
Just installed new version of launcher wp8.

I've noticed widget resizing, transparent tiles possible and slightly faster scrolling. Good job! Are we switching threads since this app is technically not launcher8? Moving tiles is slightly faster but still way too slow. Like all the different options for widget sizes.
[Android Apps and Games] the_gunners:
can we load the old saved theme to latest version ?

also the 1.2 version doesn't have option to use transparent background for individual tile :(
[Android Apps and Games] Koogly:
Awesome launcher... really like it... but how can I use pin unloack with the lockscreen? Any idea on that?

Sent From Pure Awesomeness ....
[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
Yes it does. Using alpha blending in the setting of each individual tile. The version before this one didn't have the transparency option.
[Android Apps and Games] the_gunners:
sorry i mean, for widget tile... previously we can set transparent color background ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Questioned:
How to disable search in app drawer?
[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
It doesn't look like it. On the bright side, you can now make odd sized tiles, 1x2, 2x3 etc., pick a picture and it'll let you choose what part of the picture to use as the tile.
[Android Apps and Games] UtkarshAgrawal:
Is there a similar windows 8 launcher app for tablets?
[Android Apps and Games] Ma$etas:
i installed this app and couldnt get sound after installing this. I kept hitting volume up and the image of the speaker had a line through it and then i checked in setting-sound and checked sound and the media sound was disabled but ringtones where good but just no sound.. I uninstalled this from my phone and everything started working immediately .
[Android Apps and Games] corrinti:
You are right, but till we do not set a wallpaper (I do not do it) then changing widget tile colour to black can be an ersatz :p

No such case here, might be ROM/settings dependent

The only minus is slow switch between the main screen and apps grid, beside no lags.

Though I am not a windows fan, the screen gives me more info and comfortable access then any standard android one.

And folders was the last feature I was waiting for ;D
[Android Apps and Games] chokitodopoder:
Oh, how much I missed all those tile size options and the folders! xD It's almost perfect now! Just need to fix the lag with live tiles. But I don't use them, since they take more juice from my batt. So, anyone interested in pt-br translation? If not, I won't waste my time. I use it in english anyway. But if there's someone who want it, just tell me.
[Android Apps and Games] crian:
I hope they will add more features for the lockscreen. Like notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] siealex:
One more wish. I need not only Applications, but Activities (eg, phone settings) on my desktop. Is it possible?
[Android Apps and Games] Allexsander:
if u can translate thank you very much!

Vlw...
[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
Battery life seems much better. Scrolling of apps screen good. Need live tile notifications for email, Facebook, and anything with push. Scrolling of tiles still slow. Animation of tiles needs to be slowed down and made more fluid(fly out). Moving tiles needs to speed up. Oh, it hasn't crashed yet! :)
[Android Apps and Games] lmike6453:
I really like the folders being added:good:

Is there a way to...

Change color background of folders?

Change order of apps that are in the folder?
[Android Apps and Games] LifeInAnalog:
Version 1.2 is definitely an improvement over the previous incarnations.

Anyone know of a way to remove the app name from tiles other than 1x1? I try to just remove the title in the settings manually, but title keeps coming back..
[Android Apps and Games] baalco:
Maybe there is other way but I'm solved this issue with rename the Tile name with just add a "space" character.
[Android Apps and Games] ssshoe:
Why not use Launcher8 1.2?

Running it on two CM9 Nook Tablets, a Novo7 Aurora, and Nexus7.
[Android Apps and Games] LifeInAnalog:
...holy crap, that worked! You're a genius!
[Android Apps and Games] rangapsr:
When i downloaded the 1.2.apk and tried installing, I got the error APP NOT INSTALLED :( I am using Motorola Defy with JB. Did any1 else face this issue ?
[Android Apps and Games] Deadly:
It must be an incomplete download... just download again and see if its completed properly this time..

Maybe asked too much; but an UPDATE version of the launcher (on the market?) with English translation would be welcome; I was fiddling 1.5 hours with installing the launcher, putting up, tailoring my icons, widgets, applications; and I really would not like to start it over again (as needed with a fresh install, I presume)!

Or: is there somewhere an backup/restore option in the launcher I haven't found yet?
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Not possible. But if you follow my update, [if I'm not wrong], the settings will remain.

Beta 2

Please note some "bugs/glitches". Because the lockscreen "Day" only accomodate 2 character. The "Day" had to be like this unfortunately.

Do you want me to change it to something else? For Monday to Sunday?

Done some in-app translation. Was pretty tough. Download - http://www.shaunidiot.info/android/wp8/signedwp8_beta2.apk
[Android Apps and Games] eman3316@optonline.net:
Seems like the more you add to the screen out becomes laggy and jerky.

Also, the launcher needs a way to look the home screen. Well go into edit mode a lot when sliding around your page. Great start, hope the dev moves forward in English. It is a welcome change from all the other launchers out there.
