Re: [APP][2.3+] Listener 1beta2 launcher (updated jan.27)

I love it! Simple and light! My suggestion is to have a little more customization for the app drawer, like for example, I wish there was a way to make the icons bigger. Really useful if a user is slightly vision impaired. :)
[Android Apps and Games] piaci:
is there an application at the bottom which may overlay the bottom of the screen?

different app icon sizes and app groups (folders if you prefer) are coming in beta 3 in a few days.

I guess you have then 2.3.7, is settings->security->unknown sources opted in?

double icons will be fixed in next beta. what you mean reload often?

you can try add (or readd) phone application in Listeners setting under Call settings->bind application. if it still crashes then please provide a logcat of it. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] pepcisko:
reloading means that from time to time it starts loading the list of apps from the scratch (empty drawer with lower left icon turning).

Looks like the launcher is being released from RAM, which definitely isn't the case with other launchers I've used in the past.

I'll try to see if there is any pattern to this..

Also, scrolling in the app drawer is quite laggy on my phone/ROM combination, but I'll wait till your next beta before shouting :)

Thanks for the efforts so far, I love this "home-screens-concept" :)
[Android Apps and Games] Klausi:
Nice work!

Hi deanimo,

Thank you for this very interesting launcher concept. I like the minimalistic approach very much. Since I have a lot of appointments I love to see immediately all the upcoming events.

I have two suggestions:

- Could you find a way to display also all of the Google Tasks - just like you do with the calendar?

- And since I'm one of the older users I would like to enlarge the information on the lower right bottom - either by using a bigger font size or with some kind of enlarge-for-some-time-if-touched option.

Thanks again,

Cheers,

Klaus
[Android Apps and Games] SimboXXX:
Excellent work. Looking forward to the next update.

I agree with previous suggestions to allow bigger font size.
[Android Apps and Games] user_error:
I bloody love this launcher!

Way to go deanimo!

A bit more ability to set bigger text and icons and such would be excellent, because while I can read it, its a bit small for most eyes on my Galaxy Nexus.

Anyway - brilliant work! Just what I have been hoping for now quite some time.
[Android Apps and Games] ekarjala:
I like your information driven approach

Deanimo,

Thanks for making this! It reminds me of the old Slidescreen interface for Android which has tragically gone by the way. In case you are not aware of it you can see what it was all about here: http://slidescreenhome.com/

One issue I am having that others haven't mentioned so far is that the calendar page is presenting items that I have chosen to not display or not sync in the google calendar app. Especially annoying in this regard are the birthday entries coming from Facebook. Any thoughts?

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] piaci:
text sizes will be added in beta3, so you'll be able to change them according to your settings->display->font size

it gets your events through calendar app, however I did not check for which one is synced. my bad, wiil fix this.
[Android Apps and Games] mcapozzi:
Love the homescreen, don't like the app drawer. Icons are too tiny to see, some of the icons only show a single letter for their description. If you could make a scrolling list instead of a 5 column wide app drawer, the launcher would be much easier to use. Even better would be a list with customizeable folders (i.e. windows start menu). Also add support for Android stock mail client if possible (K9 mail is redundant for most people).

I'm keeping my eye and wallet on this project. Good work so far.
[Android Apps and Games] conmonks:
I like it. few things wish it had but its still in beta, dimmed down background display of the current wallpaper, icon size but hopefully later it will be implemented.
[Android Apps and Games] ekarjala:
force closes when removing hidden items

just happened to have hidden a bunch of items and then decided to remove them from the hiddens list. I could remove about 3-4 items successfully but then the app would always FC as i tried to remove more. The app relaunches and then i am able to continue removing items from the list, but again after removing a few it FC's again. HTC Rezound, 4.0.3 stock, rooted.

Re: [APP][2.3+] Listener 1beta2 launcher (updated jan.27)

Love this launcher, I'm a minimalist so this is great. I have two feature requests and a suggestion;

1) please add a listener for Google talk.

2) as someone else requested, please add a listener for the stock email app (non-gmail email).

3) promise me once this is out of beta you'll sell it in the play store so we can all throw money at you for the hard work.

EDIT - I noticed something weird which now that I've seen it, I can't unsee it. Not necessarily a bug (sorry in advance all you OCD folks). The stock wifi notification icon in ICS and JB has 4 levels of connectivity strength. Your launcher has 5 levels for wifi strength which means unless connectivity is full, or disconnected, the indicators on the launcher and notification bar will never match. If my wifi in the notification bar is 3 out of 4 bars (let's call it 75%) the launcher is showing 2 out of 5 bars (40%). It would be nice if they both had the same amount of indicator markers so they could be in sync and match. Hope that makes sense.

[Android Apps and Games] piaci:
using google functions there which sends the the values the given range. it's 5 to have more options than 4 and to match battery indicator which is sliced to 20 percent each bar.

however, even if it uses only 4 they rarely matches with status bar indicator.

dunno the answer why.

to clear this. percentage above clock is your current battery heat level not temperature. this changes to "charging" or percentage in case you below 15%.

just noticed it does not follow celsius/fahrenheit options. will be fixed.

if gps not present it uses your cell/wifi location to determine where you are.
[Android Apps and Games] SimboXXX:
Ok, i get it - that's a nice touch. I've just realised too that you can swipe between different category notifications (i was wondering what the blue indicator was for).

Is there any way to dismiss all notifications with a single action, rather than long-pressing them all?
[Android Apps and Games] piaci:
- blue-wifi (connected wifi station name below)

- orange-phone connection (below connection type, or no traffic indicates no data goes through, no service when no connection and xxx:R when roaming)

Re: [APP][2.3+] Listener 1beta2 launcher (updated jan.27)

My suggestion, besides the ones that I requested in a earlier post, is to have the ability to keep the app in memory, then the app drawer does not always reload. Would this weigh down the launcher?

I love the bottom right notification area, much more beautifull than the stock status bar.

I love the facebook feed clear from images and links and stuff.

I love the unified inbox approach for Gmail

few suggestions: (dunno if some were offered already)

It would be nice to see the mails content (first 2 lines or so) with their headers and not just the head count :)

make the icons in the drawer bit bigger - (5 rows is great, but the margin between the icons can be reduced a bit to make the icons bigger)

I can see much effort is being put into this and its a great launcher.

I would certainly love to buy it when it would be available in Google play

This is amazing. Simple, clean and professional looking. If possible, I want to be able to retrieve emails through POP3 or IMAP without having to install and bind with external email application.

Also, it would be great if you could add an option to have a background image. Even better if background opacity can be changed.

Hi deanimo,

I'm using the launcher for three days now and I like him much more than the overloaded apex I used before.

Please, please do not add to many options, please keep it smart and simple. At least resist, when people start asking "can we have transitions like nova launcher" and such stuff ;)

Bug report:

1. Although it was already 00:46 am this morning, the first entry at the calendar view showed an event from the day before (screenshot attached).

2. Another thing is the missed call screen.

- Ass you can see at the other screenshot, the call from an unknown number is displayed as "-1".

- I deleted the call manually from the missed call list, but it's still displayed.

- The five calls above are actually just one. I called myself from the landline, but get a display of five calls.

Cheers, Klaus

no, at the moment only feed is supported, so it won't let you know if someone sent you a message or invited you for the next paintball meeting.

later it may be change but not priority at the moment.

for some strange reason yesterday's events willl be cleared at 2ish at the morning. it might be depend on the time zone, not sure yet. later will spend time to fix it.

call log entries will stay until you remove them manually, otherwise opening call log or phone app itself would clear the whole list.

-1 when no number provided by caller (it should be unknown as well though).

in the other hand none should appear more the once, I'll look at it, thanks for reporting.
