Was going to say the same thing, but you beat me to it. ;)

There were some great suggestions in the previous two posts, I would suggest those individuals go to More -> Feedback in the app and submit them. Be forewarned, you only get 100 words (I think it might be characters, and not words, bec you only get about two and a half lines of text WITHOUT getting the warning) so you will need to do several submissions.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

I understand you wanting/suggesting the idea of internal integration within Launcher 8, but the app "Business Calendar" has a widget that works perfectly with this app. (Unfortunately, it works even better with Nova Launcher (or probably any launcher that allows side to side scrolling) as you can scroll up and down through all of your events without ever having to open up the app. I presume you can't do that in Launcher 8 bec. of the up/down scrolling but you at least get the next few events.

The app "Unread Gmail Widget" will show you the number of unread Gmail messages, and it updates in real time. There is a similar app, sorry can't remember the name, but it does not update in real time within Launcher 8.

Otherwise, and I'm sure you know this already but if there are that many things you need to see, it sounds like you need to leave the notification bar in play, and not hidden...which does take away from the WP look, but currently the only way to do it. While I do pull the notification bar down to look on occasion (I have it hidden), there is very little that I need outside of existing (widget) tiles I created such as: a battery widget, the built-in SMS widget, the Unread Gmail Widget I mentioned and a weather widget. I was really married to seeing the notification bar before but it was through this launcher that I learned that I don't need to see all of those things all the time. (The widgets were the compromise.) To each his own, I guess.

All the best!!
[Android Apps and Games] siealex:
Some wishes for launcher8.

1. Add Cyrillic letters to apps menu.

2. Scrollable widgets support.

3. Add shortcuts for Activities.

4. Add scrolling all way up by double pressing Home.

5. Transparent Navbar support: draw wallpapers under Navbar.

Is this possible in future builds?
[Android Apps and Games] wakkakai:
Left the review on the play store. I tried their link to the BBS site but I'm not sure that actually leads to anything. And I also tried to email the developer.

Will let you know if i hear anything.
[Android Apps and Games] OsiBasi:
Love this, Is it possible to move APK to sys and push Xperia home away, so it won't take internal memory or is it needed?

Is there anyway to remove the lockscreen from this? I prefer the usual one.
[Android Apps and Games] cookie666:
same issue here. Only way to fix it is force close the launcher and then its ok

might go back to 1.2.3

Is it possible to use this launcher in Landscape?
[Android Apps and Games] new_nook_nooter:
No.
[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
i see the same thing.

Needs:

Smoother and faster scrolling.

Smoother animation of tiles.

More live tiles(Facebook, gmail, twitter, etc.)

Less battery drain.

Transfer of themes between wp8 and launcher8 and vice-versa.

Landscape mode including widgets.

That is all.

I'd be willing to pay up to $10 for all this.

I'm seriously considering a wp8 phone after this.
[Android Apps and Games] _JuSteR_:
And:

Tile notification for whatsapp, gmail, facebook, facebook messenger, twitter and calendar;

Multilanguage support for Time Tile.

:good::laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Planet X:
Yes, I really miss the the notification bar and also the counters of Gmail or Whats App Live Tiles. Launcher 7 has it already. Please add. I would donate if that was available.

Possible to edit widget tiles?

Hello,

Is it possible to edit the title and icon for widget tiles?

If so, how?

Thank you,

Dana
[Android Apps and Games] DARKCHYLDX101:
Not bad. Agreed. Home screen scrolling needs to be sped up.

Edit..installed version 1.2.5 from dev website. Scrolling speed improved but needs to be smoother. Better.
[Android Apps and Games] alyfadly:
From home to drawer is verry slowly.

can u give me the link to the 1.2.5 version, i cant find it on the hompage of the developer.

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] sensei60:
Nice launcher thanks
[Android Apps and Games] hsj1906:
You can get it by going to settings, clicking more, and then clicking check update. I'd give you the apk, but not sure where the file was downloaded it to.

Scrolling is definitely better in 1.2.5.
[Android Apps and Games] CQ7:
With 1.2.5 i have a better scrolling in the home page but still some problems scrolling the apps.

Anyway it's getting better and better:D

[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
Great update. Scrolling much faster and can scroll to end of home page. Can always be smoother. Probably about 15fps now. Movement of tiles better but still needs improvement. Creating widgets is much faster. Animation is faster but can be smoother. Give option like in nova launcher for animation to be fast or smooth. Decided to just switch to launcher8 and recreate theme from launcherwp8.

There is no need for translation now bcs launcher is coming in english by default:)

Hi all!

I'm using this launcher from version 1.2.4, and now I update it to version 1.2.5 and problem came.

Main problem happens when I try to set lockscreen wallpaper, app crashes. In version 1.2.4 i could easily set up lockscreen wallpaper but now I can't. Please help if you experienced this problem.

[Android Apps and Games] danawr:
Minor text formatting issue

Hello,

The month name and date need a space between them.

I.E. "January8 Tuesday" would look better formatted like "January 8 Tuesday".

I have found this on the lockscreen wallpaper and the calendar widget.

Also, the lockscreen wallpaper shows a text balloon and the number "2" on it always in white colored font.

Excellent turn around time for the lockscreen wallpaper bug fix.

Thank you,

Dana

My drainer are only screen, mediasrever and music !

3% WP8 ! Look my screenshot :D

The 3% comes from playing around with launchersettings (higher CPU usage for only 6m 42s)

The update is awesome! love the fluidity... and the status bar is cool... oh and the stock messaging app issues were solved by simply deleting the messaging tile and adding a new one!

Two more things id love to see in the upcoming updates:

1. Consistent WP8 status bar.. which displays notifications icons like sms, missed call, whatsapp etc....

2. Fluid jump and home button animations like in laucher 7 (love those!)

cheers!

yeah I totally agree with you. The latest update is truly better than the previous releases.
[Android Apps and Games] uwdus:
The guys that are complaining about the battery drain should post screenshots from BBS otherwise those are just allegations without any facts.
[Android Apps and Games] iXsanders:
I dont need to post screenshots. Fact is: my phone usage is very constant and with stock launcher or launcher7 a full charge lasts at average 2,5 days. with launcher 8 i cant get more than 1,5 days.

to make clear: i like launcher8 very much and have no intention to bash something. i watch the battery cycles now long enough to can state without any doubts that launcher8 drains battery
[Android Apps and Games] shino82:
I also dont have screenshots to proof it but i can confirm that this launcher is a battery Killer. With nova prime it i have 8+ more hours of battery time

Not the color, icons or bind another program than the original to an existing tile. (like camera 360 to the camera tile)

I can go in to settings and make the change, but when i go back its still the same.

[Android Apps and Games] giuseppe_:
same question :(
[Android Apps and Games] new_nook_nooter:
Thanks, Sunshine. I've sent in A LOT of feedback (including that request) in the 8+ upgrades I have installed since first coming across this app. Since the developers are Chinese (read Chinese is their native/first language), my feedback has mostly been of corrections in spelling or choice of words used in the English version, like pic "form" phone in the Live Gallery tile. Simple corrections. Yet unfortunately they have not been implemented -- so forgive me for not holding my breath on requests.

I am very grateful for ALL of their work, on a free app, but that just happens to have been my experience from submitting the same feedback after continuous upgrades. Maybe your mileage varies.

All the best!
