Using WP8 launcher since yesterday - love it!

I'm also using LBE Security and I can tell you that the launcher tries to connect to the internet. Wasn't able to write down the ip adress yet but I hope to catch it soon.
[Android Apps and Games] bmszabo:
hmmm... I have posted the idea before (but rejected by someone); maybe the reason for taking WP8 off Google Play is this app 'phoning home'; it wouldn't be the first good looking Chinese software having such behavior.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] dante197:
And it is good or bad?
[Android Apps and Games] bmszabo:
'Phoning home' of Chinese products is generally not a good idea; the experience with several Chinese software (even hardware!) is sending (personal) info to their home base, to help the Great Chinese People's Republic and her fight to conquer the corrupted Western Civilization.. or, at least, something like that is said.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] dragid10:
Anyone have any updates on the status??? I really love this launcher, and would love to see it updated again.
[Android Apps and Games] Deadly:
It can be just to check updates.. so be sure of what its doing..

Don't be so negative all the time.. if you are so worried.. use a firewall to block the launcher from getting net access..

---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 AM ----------

I had the dissaperaring tile problem before I disabled the option "interface jump animation" under settings. After disabling it it has never happened again when it happened frequently before. Also with that option enabled I could not swipe to the appdrawer after pressing the home button from an app. I had to press the home button one more time for that. Not anymore.

Very smooth launcher too. On my Nexus it feels like Project Butter is in effect.

auto rotate doesn't take effect on me is that really normal on this laucher?
[Android Apps and Games] uwdus:
I didn't want to allege somebody, just a value neutral fact that it connects to the net. Sorry, if my posting may led to missunderstandings :)

100% ACK
[Android Apps and Games] dannejanne:
Yeah I think so. The original WP launcher does not support rotation.
[Android Apps and Games] xenosireas.arts:
right, :( that's sad... I wanted to use this launcher on my tablet because it really looks good and better that looking than Launcher 7, thought the Launcher 7 supports auto Rotation.. hopefully it will be considered for future development.... because right now without rotation this Launcher Rocks!!!

[Android Apps and Games] icetubig21:
This is really a great launcher. An improvement from Launcher 7 aesthetically. :D

I have one problem though, the contacts tile and picture gallery tile stops "being live" after 30 seconds or so until you touch the screen again. Anyone else having this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] dannejanne:
Normal behavior of the original WP launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] mozicodo:
Here's my token screenshot. I'd like to see the live gallery have the ability to do at least one of the following:

1) be pointed at a directory to get images from

2) remember the images that are already there so you can add to them

3) select multiple images at once
[Android Apps and Games] OnionCoins:
1.1.4 is erasing my sms conversations. Odd....
[Android Apps and Games] dannejanne:
The only annoying bug I have is that the lockscreen wallpaper keeps blanking out to a black picture. I have to force close the launcher then for it to show again. If I just try to set a new one in the lockscreen settings all pictures I chose comes up as totally black too in the crop window. Hence a force close is needed.
[Android Apps and Games] Hallahan:
it depends on your screen width i guess:

I have a Galaxy S, screen width = 480 px.

When i set the icon spacing to 8px, I lose 5x8=40 px on spacing, 480px - 40px = 440px for icons

4 square icons on a row, so eacht icon = 110x110 px, a 2x2 icon then will be 110+110+8(spacing!)=228x228px

Browse to /data/app use any kind of root explorer >> you'll find the application in there.. delete it..

Then go to /data/data look for folder named com.xl. (i forgot) delete it.. then restart your phone.

Works for me

some issues in getting the lockscreen wallpaper to stay as set, but a minor issue.

feature request -

full english translation, folders & custom tiles.

thanks to all the devs who helped it onto my phone :)
[Android Apps and Games] Manguish:
Great stuff, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] wergeld:
Is there a way we can select multiple pics for the rotating gallery at once? How to remove the default images? This seems like an amazing mod and it just needs a bit of patience to set up the screen tiles the way you want. The lockscreen thing icon...yea...what the hell is that for. Locked me out of my phone!
[Android Apps and Games] mozicodo:
If you use the Select button multiple times before hitting Confirm, you can select multiple pictures. Selecting more than 3 will get rid of the stock photos.
[Android Apps and Games] mrjayviper:
does the 1.1.4 in the 1st post include the lockscreen? I click on the red lock in the default setup and it says it needs to be downloaded. thanks! :)

[Android Apps and Games] wergeld:
I meant have it open the gallery app and you can multi-select from inside there. Clicking on adding a pic, selecting the pic, confirming, then going back and clicking adding a pic, selecting the pic, confirming etc is not so much user friendly. Also, I have about 7 pics I have added and I still see the default pictures.

Other notes:

No way to have email show number of new/unread items

Possible to make some tiles as widgets?

Some options to alter items (such as changing wallpaper) come up in, what I assume, is traditional Chinese characters. Localization needed.

Any way to hide the softmenu keys?

Animation/transitions when launching an app are jinky at best

Running this on a GN with latest stock JB 4.2.

These are not meant as slams - I am still using it. These are just observations that can hopefully improve this amazing launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] sunnysall:
Hi again......i m getting 1 problem is that....when i select wallpaper from mobile for lockscreen background then its atomatically change to black.....why????
[Android Apps and Games] wergeld:
I do not have that issue. But, when selecting the wallpaper for the lockscreen the proportions are all off. Any way to revert back to the default lockscreen background?
[Android Apps and Games] .:Petunia:.:
First of all: Thank you so much for this brilliant launcher! I really love it!

I selected more than 3 pictures, but the default pictures are still shown to me. How and where can i remove them? They're not in the gallery folder...

I just would like to use the opportunity to make some requests ;)

- Whats app notification count

- Email/Gmail notification count

- Ability to chose own tile colours via hex code

- Different live gallery scrolling effects

.... this was pretty much it ;) just some ideas that came into my mind.

Once again --> A massive THANK YOU for this great launcher!!! :o
[Android Apps and Games] wergeld:
Other issue I noticed with the picture tile:

When you go to add in more pictures it actually resets the list of pictures so it is only the pictures you just selected - not the pictures you picked previously and the recently selected pics.

[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
I'm guess he/Google got a C&D from Microsoft. Microsoft has been known to C&D theme makers in the past. I was wondering how long before Goo snatched it off the Play Store.

Plus with the huge Moto/Microsoft suit in play right now I'm sure Google will want to keep a tight ship in regards to this type of stuff.

I hope the dev continues to move forward or releases to source for continued development. This is a pretty slick and has potential to be even better.

This works great on my Thunderbolt. I was a launch day buyer of Tbolt 2 years ago so I'm just out of contract. I got interested in the DNA on its launch day and was sidetracked by the WP8 display at Verizon. After playing with both for an hour or so I was ready to buy the WP8 by HTC. The only reason I don't have it is because it was taking too long to get waited on so I left. I went home and started looking on line for information on the system and found the WP7 app and installed it and upgraded it. Then I stumbled upon this WP8 app and it's like my old phone has been reborn. I think at this point that this is the preferred setup. Like it's been said "the best of both worlds".

I get to keep Google Nav too rather than having to purchase something else with unknown results. And I also keep unlimited data.

Thanks to the developers and translators who made this possible.

I also agree that it's quite addictive.

Oh great now I've got another addiction. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Eduardogv:
does anyone experience a huge battery drain with thi launcher? Mabe the live tiles...
[Android Apps and Games] tkjeeper:
I'll tell you what I found out...for some reason this launcher, or possibly just the lock feature that you have to download, prevented my phone from entering deep sleep, and really messed with my governor speeds. I was having a VERY hard time tracking down the problem. I tried switching kernels, governors, nothing worked. I'd finally get the phone to go into deep sleep, dunno how, and then a reboot would screw it up. I was able to enter deep sleep by hitting the red lock tile. That's how I tracked the problem to this launcher, or possibly the lock screen. Reset your cpu spy stats, sleep the phone, and then wake it after a minute and check the stats. I've uninstalled it and haven't had problems since. Let me know if this was the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
It's much slower than launcher7, but the widgets don't redraw so that's good. You can fit tons of tiles also. The only live tiles are the phone and sms ones.

Hello, guys.

I found the app in the Play Store, but with this name: Launcher8

One thing I have realized: not possible to load your themes from LauncherWP8 to Launcher8. I tried moving themes files to the new folder, but no succes, I had to make it manually.

I hope this means developers are going to continue updating :)
[Android Apps and Games] bmszabo:
IS launcher8 in the play store identical /further development of wp8? Can anyone confirm on this?

And, if yes: is there a way to transfer our loved themes to Launcher8 (quite essential to make the step over for me)?

Lock the phone properly anymore the samsung lock is bypassed and you can basically make calls with the phone

The only solution I found so far is to uninstall this lockscreen plugin...any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] chokitodopoder:
Seems to. Look here guys: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lx.launcher8&feature=search_result it's related to the same site, anall.cn . And don't have the Windows name. Maybe that's why it got removed from the store =D .

----- Update -----

Again, Kaspersky didn't find any threat on the app. But Launcher8 didn't import my saved themes from WP8 Launcher. Maybe it's just a folder question, I'll try to find out.

----- Update 2 -----

Good and bad news. Good one is that it is the same app, and uses the same folder on internal memory to save themes (LauncherWP8). Bad one is that saved themes from before didn't work, even copying to the right place. It shows the saved ones, but can't load, at least on my tests.
