should be 70% in English... I am going to go out... Let me know if people still need me to continue.

Uninstall the original version before installing the one below.

[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
I'm translating it too. Hopefully in an hour or two.

EDIT :

Release 1 - http://shaunidiot.info/android/wp8/signedwp8.apk - Please test. I edited only those in XML. Many are in the Java code itself. Could be hard. Please test and get back to me. Thanks.

Edit 2 : Translating in app Chinese language. Manageable(:

Edit 3 : Done some in-app translation. Was pretty tough. Download - http://www.shaunidiot.info/android/wp8/signedwp8_beta2.apk

Edit 4 : Another update. Will continue tomorrow because I ****ed things up :(. http://www.shaunidiot.info/android/wp8/signedwp8_beta3.apk

lockscreen

lockscreen doesn't work for me at all..even if I uninstalled the default lock app and install different ones, it doesn't lock my phone..so no Im not using the lockscreen..also the live contact tiles is not working on my phone, even after refreshing. Dunno if I froze some apps which make it not work. Im using Atrix 4g with ATT 4.5.141. Anyway great launcher! Im still using it but it drains power very fast :P

I checked my cpu spy stats with many combinations, with and whithout the live tiles and the same with the lockscreen. The lockscreen and the live tiles are the responsible for the battery probmems, whithout them the launcher goes fine.

How do you change the icon images? All it says is center and extrude? I've download a lot of 1x1,1x2,2x1 but I can't seem to change anything. When I get on icon settings pave all it shows me are those ugly white icons with purple backgrounds

If I change the wallpaper on the lock screen and then want to go back to stock I can't find that original image. I like the stock wallpaper and wonder if I can get it back without restoring the whole thing.

Also maybe there are additional stock apps somewhere.

A feature request: importing themes from WP8 launcher to the new Google Play version would be really welcome..
[Android Apps and Games] blcklab:
So far so good but occasionally it gets laggy. Would converting it to a system app improve performance any? I know some other launchers benefit from it.
[Android Apps and Games] skoobz:
There's plenty of improvement since my first review. Though, it's pretty bad you can only choose either the icon from the play store or the ones that come with the launcher. I have some nice icons that I'd like to use, but can't. the contact (read, not contacts) tile doesn't move or display the names like luancher 7 and I can't choose the icon, again. At least the picture tiles move-though I wish I can get rid of the stock pictures, the stupid cat and those stupid amazon.jp box man figures thingys (though, they don't appear after a cycle or two). The time tile is also a waste, wish they would get rid of it and make a live calendar tile. the launcher also doesn't scroll smoothly. We're moving in the right direction. As you can see in the screenshot I posted below (yes, I the contact tile is blurry, I can't choose a better picture) It does look nice, but the only thing I don't show is the dogcatcher tile. It doesn't match the rest of the look, wish I could choose where the launcher would get its icon from. It doesn't have a vplayer icon, so I have to regulate it to some power amp icon or something. There's no google current icon, or ES explorer.

OK...i figured it out, I had to scroll left and right to choose my icons. now we're getting somewhere. now....about that calendar tile!

Where can i get this weather tile?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I8150 mit Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] skoobz:
The weather tile is from beautiful widgets (pay app, playstore). The icons for that app is flat white (there's also flat black for the whiter backgrounds). You'll have to choose the selection to remove the opaque background and then the result is what you see. But since I have launcher8 it rests on the tile, looking like that, giving it a clean look.

I honestly don't get the wank over this launcher. It's not optimized on any device I have tried. It lags like hell. There is hardly any customization and very little consistency throughout the launcher design.
[Android Apps and Games] Shmi117:
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! It lags so much and everyone says its the best... If only it was made with real motivation put into it.
[Android Apps and Games] andrasandhi:
hmm, what ROM?

JB?

ICS?

i tested on PACman AOKP-milestone-1 (JB-based ROM) its buggy on the animation and editing tiles, but smooth on scrolling the up-down the homescreen.

ICS, hmm, all very smooth.

the things that u can do is give them your feedback. not here, but straigh to the devs.

on homescreen, press menu > more > feedback.

im sure they understand u.

yes, i sent from my phone using Xda Premium, so what?
[Android Apps and Games] MindlessLeadership:
Some kernels it seems to be smooth with, some do not. For example on my HTC One X with the kernel that came with the ROM I am using, app animations were laggy, eg sliding out menus. Switched to another kernel and its buttery smooth.
[Android Apps and Games] kiltedthrower:
So why not send an email to the developer about what you think would make it better instead of coming on here bashing it.
[Android Apps and Games] edward_g:
It works fine on HTC Thunderbolt with Jellyblur custom ROM and most recent radios.

It's pretty normal, depending on how much tiles and widgets you have. The less, the leaner.

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

It probably is, though, like the other poster said, since we're not the developers nor is this thread started by the developers, it's best if you inquire with the developer
[Android Apps and Games] thewootts:
Wonder why its not available on the play store anymore?? ive been using this for about 2 months now on my Arc s with jelly sandwich rom with modified stock custom kernel. It runs really nice! although it does freeze up about once a week!

hope the dev sorts out a few little issues!

does anybody else use wp7 notifications or wp7 contacts and 7 messenger to compliment it?

wp7 notifications is a great app!!:good::good:
[Android Apps and Games] corrinti:
It is, now as Launcher wp8 (though unfortunately doesn't read 1.1.4 themes)

AFAIK folders are in todos for the next builds
[Android Apps and Games] czuppa:
Who need?

It lag, drum battery and RAM. Furthermore, with Apex Launcher Tablet UI (10 x 6), Desktop Visualizer + Icons 7 you can get a windows 8 tile tablet. In fact, you can get the visual as you want.

Here, some examples from my Galaxy Nexus
[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
It lags on galaxy note i717 with Padawan ics rom. Vertical scrolling slow, movement of tiles ultra slow. But it's so freaking cool looking!
[Android Apps and Games] light86:
I do think it is a nice launcher,it have quite a lot customization and can be use with widget which have transparent background.

Even though it is quite laggy and tend to use up alot of ram but the developers keep developing it for free.

Let wait the new version which will release in few hours.
[Android Apps and Games] bmszabo:
Let's hope the new version implies import of themes from the previous version (WP8)..

For me this Feature is working!
[Android Apps and Games] ShermCraig:
Hmm, odd. I removed and re-added and they still will not work. I go to Menu>>Add>>Ad Shortcuts>>Direct Dial, and go on to select my contact's number. It shows up on the home screen, but when I tap it, nothing happens. I'm wondering if the fact that I use Google Voice to make all my calls has anything to do with it? I doubt it, because I use the same process to add direct dials to my other launcher apps. Anyone else having success or failures? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] new_nook_nooter:
Direct dial works for me. So much that I don't use it anymore bec there have been cases where I was scrolling on my screen and I accidentally pressed, or it was perceived as a tap, and it started dialing people. I now do the add contact instead.

All the best!

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

As for those who really want to get folders (as do I! ), can't you just add the "iPhone Style Folders" widget instead? It seems like a pretty reasonable work-around for me.
[Android Apps and Games] ShermCraig:
I wonder why it doesn't work for me? The other thing I can't figure out is the Contacts Tile. Isn't it supposed to display pics from my contacts? All it does is show different shades of the same color....
[Android Apps and Games] new_nook_nooter:
The same thing was happening for me until I thought that it is quite possible it is pulling from all of the people in my Google email that I have sent messages to (or have sent messages to me) that DON'T have photos assigned to their account (hence all of the blank/empty tiles or similar shades). What I would maybe like to suggest is that it only pulls from your 'phone' contacts. Those are the faces/photos I'd like to see.

All the best!
[Android Apps and Games] ShermCraig:
Very possible - and I acknowledge many of my contacts do not have photo's attached, but some do. I don't have any of my contacts on the "phone" per se - I have all of them tied to an account - Google, Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter.
[Android Apps and Games] wacowell:
you have to go to settings for contacts live tile and click the refresh option it should then pull the pics that what i had to do. now it works.
[Android Apps and Games] ShermCraig:
I really appreciate your help, but I don't see any refresh option....? :confused:
